That looks fine.
You will need a second image for the charges. It'll be 2 frames, equivalent in size to the weapon.
Here is an example of a 5-charge weapon that I made for my weapon pack so you can see how the image of your stored charges lines up with your weapon. Mine isn't very traditional with the lights.

Now what does this code mean for my charge image?
Code: Select all
<animSheet name="chargerail_charge" w="70" h="57" fw="35" fh="57">weapons/chargerail_charge</animSheet>
<anim name="chargerail_charge">
<sheet>chargerail_charge</sheet>
<desc length="4" x="0" y="0"/>
<time>1.0</time>
</anim>

Did you hit "submit" too many times?

You need to add .png to the filename.
This is the <boost> in your weaponAnim code.
I would say the desc length should be 2, but the Ion Charger says 4 instead of 3 and it still works, so that part might be ignored in this instance.

Oops, these forums are really slow on my computer for some reason. So I might have clicked a few extra times because I thought it was being unresponsive.

Ok. Now I got my weapon working, but the glow won't show up.

You changed the width of the glow animation to 280. Switch it back to 70 like it was before and it should work.

Sweet! It works! I made a legit weapon in FTL, custom sprite and everything!

How do you overwrite starting augments for ships?

Blueprints.xml
Look for where the words "Plating" is located and if it's under a ship's blueprints, that's probably the section.

I'm guessing the Stealth A is your issue? I've seen you use SMM's overwrite code for other things, so I assume you are having problems with this ship having two augments.
Code: Select all
<mod:findName type="shipBlueprint" name="PLAYER_SHIP_STEALTH">
<mod:findLike type="aug"> <mod:removeTag/> </mod:findLike> <!-- Removes all augments -->
<mod-append:aug name="{insert augment here}"/> <!-- Repeat to add more augments -->
</mod:findName>
