[Tool] Superluminal 2.2.1 - FTL Ship Editor

Hey kartoFlane,

Not sure if anyone's reported this, but when I create new ships, the weapons room uses the room_shields name.

I've seen it happen too with Cloaking. Uses the glows from another room entirely and not the cloaking device.

any luck with my ship? I'm just asking since I can't send pm's yet.

@Kital
Yes and no... I took a look at it, changed the layout a bit so that it doesn't crash (resized all rooms to be 2x2 max, made the ship smaller), but then couldn't reproduce the crashing :/ That problem is definitely related to room/door layout though, since it also stopped crashing when I just told it to use the default Kestrel layout.
So I guess TL;DR -- don't make gargantuan-sized rooms/ships

@Abs & stylesrj
Weird. I'll take a look at it, but I've no idea why this would ever be happening...

Guess I'm going to wind up having a lot of rooms or something, I made it about as small as I could while being able to place the cockpit properly in the graphic.

Thanks for the help

Hi. i have been trying to save my ship for 2 1/2 hours now following all the instruction in the FAQ and i still can't get it into game, i choose the resource folder for FTL through steam and when i try to save nothing happens.

In order to get your ship into the game, you need to install it with SMM.

Save your ship as .ftl, place the file in SMM's 'mods' directory, launch SMM, tick the checkbox next to your ship, and hit the "Patch" button.

yeah, i JUST found that out, i can't believe i didnt think of that before!

I'm having a bit of trouble...
I made a super-powerful ship to mess around in CE by editing the Kestrel's loadout. I only changed the systems and levels of them, the weapons, as well as adding Kestrel artillery. I then proceed to crash every so often when I jump. I have a crashlog, but it's really short. I have no coding experience whatsoever, so I'm at a loss. My only guesses are problems with using CE and EL, more systems than normally allowed, or the fact that it has 60 power bars.

i load my ship and everything says its ok i save it in an .ftl file i put it in smm's mod folder i run smm and click patch and it says everything is ok but my ship wont show up i try patching it again with smm and get this error

21:34:06.958 [Thread-9] ERROR net.vhati.modmanager.core.ModPatchThread - Patching failed. java.io.IOException: InnerPath occurs more than once:

anyone know why it is doing this?

[kartoFlane]

Something went wrong while saving the archives. Normally when SMM has two files with the same name and location, it replaces one with the other, but in this case, the manager somehow saved both of them, and now doesn't know which to use...
I have no idea how that could happen, though. I'd suggest redownloading the archives and clearing SMM's cache.
