[Tool] Superluminal 2.2.1 - FTL Ship Editor

[zabing12]

This is quiite annoying. Every time there is an update, a mac user has to redo that tedious step with the command app. Please, could you try to fix this problem?

Do you mean the one with permissions? I was under the impression that I got that sorted out already :/ I'll try again, hopefully it works this time.

Ran into an issue where 'Save As' was processing as 'Save' instead. Win7 running Superluminal 2.0.3 x32 on an x64 machine. (x64 2.0.1 said wrong version when launched, I assume x64 java probably just not installed?)

So newbie has a ship project saved as a resource folder, unable to 'save as' (.ftl desired) now , and no idea what to do from here.

EDIT: I took a screenshot and just redid the work in 10 minutes that took me hours initially, heh. Also, was able to reproduce the 'save as' problem: happens after first use, any subsequent use is treated as 'save'.

Whooops, sorry about that T'was a result of a rather stupid mistake. Thanks for reporting it

Yup, it's just a matter of installing 64-bit Java

After several hours of wrestling with OSX and a multitude of failed attempts, I've finally managed to get permissions sorted out... I was on the verge of giving up

Superluminal is very cool ship editor. But if you can, create a ship cargo editor, more than one artillery room and artillery editor.

@SkyLine
Thanks :) Artillery is in the works, I just need to get around to figuring it out...

Not sure what you mean by "ship cargo editor", though. If you mean like weapons etc editor. then I doubt I'll ever get to doing that -- the amount of work that I'd need to put into that would far outweight the amount of usefulness of such a program, IMO :P

What abiout the ability to add in more cargo slots? When making transport type ships additional cargo hold would be handy thing to add, and lets those that wish to haul around extra drones or what not be able to do so.

So I was linking my weapon mounts to my gibs, and I accidentally misclicked on the floor image. Superluminal crashed.

Not really a bug or an error, but a bit frustrating to lose an hour's work.

Ship cargo editor example - you have 4 weapons slot, but you need 5 weapons. And you add 1 weapons in cargo bay.

@SkyLine & Silveressa
Ahhh, I get it. Sadly, the number of cargo slots is hardcoded into the game -- there's no way to change it, much less so on a ship-by-ship basis. There's also no way to give a ship cargo via the editor -- that information is stored in the save file, and not in the .xml files. You'd need to use Vhati's Profile Editor for this.

Whoooopsy daisy. Thanks for the information, I'll get that checked out.

Hmm. I'm unable to reproduce this crash, linking works fine for me. Could you post the stack trace here, between [ code ][ /code ] tags? When the editor crashes, it'll spit it out to editor-log.txt
