[Tool] FTL Ship Editor: Superluminal [NOT UPDATED TO AE]

[speedoflight]

Trying it asap. Thanks KartoFlane for your efforts. Actually the editor works almost perfectly.

I love it, works great.

My only question is, where can I find the images for the hull/shield/floor etc. ? I've tried googling it, but other unrelated things come up. Plus, I don't know how to pull them from the game's files. Any help here?

[kartoFlane]

You can get the images from the game's files.
Superluminal unpacks them to its own directory, to a folder named "archives", located next to Superluminal.exe. You can find all the images and data files there.

Thank you so much. Best ship editor by far.

Also, one last thing, where would I export the file to? Anywhere special? Do they get detected by GMM and patched in?

[kartoFlane]

You can export it to your desktop, so that you can find it easily. Then, in order for GMM to detect it, you have to move the .ftl file to mods folder inside GMM.

Well, exported it straight to the mods file. GMM didn't recognize it. Figured I'd rename it from ".ftl" to "RockShip.ftl". It recognized it, but then this came up. What am I doing wrong?

[kartoFlane]

Ah, it's a known bug, as far as I can tell. You're probably using Python 2.7.4. Look here on how to fix it

3rd Edit: I am, in fact, running in 64-bit. Still don't know what's wrong.

[kartoFlane]

Completely uninstall Python and then install the 64-bit version.

Wazzup, i was messing up with a new project, and i was testing the -no rooms- door system (to make a teleport style ship), and i think it will be great if u can just add a door indicator over the room (or somewhere else). I mean, door number 1, u can see a little "1" over the room 1, and so on. This helps to identify doors and the room its heading it. Its just a sugesstion, but in mods that the rooms are not together, this will be very useful.
