Help! I have a problem: Error: load declarations - blueprints.xml file not found
Error: load declarations - autoBlueprints.xml file not found


I will never finish my ship if I won't find a solution to this problem! Is there any one who can help me? (I have Windows 7)

Huh, weird.

Try to unpack the archives again (File -> Change Archives...)
If that doesn't fix it, open up Superluminal's directory, go to archives/data and check if the file (autoBlueprints.xml) is present there. If it's not, you might want to uninstall all mods, in order to make GMM restore its archives backup, then unpack the archives in Superluminal again.
Failing that, try reinstalling FTL, and then unpacking the archives.

Where exactly is the directory?

In the same folder where Superluminal.exe is located - which should be where you've unpacked the zip that you've downloaded.

Tried everything. Still having the same issue.

Is this issue blocking you from finish your ship?? u cant load superluminal or wat? the only thing superluminal is saying is that it cant find the source files of the game, but u dont need em to finish your ship.. unless u are picking a template from the game of course...

In order to create an .ftl file of my ship it needs blueprints ID. But it can't find neither the blueprint neither the auto blueprint.

I just changed the directory of the game, and i went to "change archives", and when superluminal was extracting the resource.dat file, in the end it crashed with this crash log ->

ideas?

@TheNewbie
I've no idea what could be the cause of such issue - it appears that your .dat archives don't contain the blueprint files, or Superluminal somehow can't find them.

I've included some additional debug info in that part of the code to help me in troubleshooting; download the updated version here (14-4-13), run it using the Superluminal.bat, and then upload debug.log here.

@speedoflight
Huh. Apparently the editor crashes if you open the Ship Browser before changing the archives.
Just make sure not to open the Ship Browser (Load Ship...) if you plan on changing the archives, for now.

Thank you very much kartoFlane.
