This is what I'm looking for. How?

Look in img\ship\interior, The ones you'll probably care about are

teleporter_off.png
teleporter_on.png
teleporter_on_glow.png
teleporter_selected.png
teleporter_selected_glow.png

I don't know what does what exactly but it shouldn't be too hard figure it out and/or guess

It'll jump to where I want it, but as soon as I select something else, it jumps back. I can work around it, it's just annoying. I tried updating to the latest version and the same thing happened.

Very weird indeed... There is some reason for the behaviour you're describing, since there's a separate variable that holds the position of the image, and the location displayed in the coordinate boxes (leftover from previous versions...), but there should be no way for them to have different values, ever.

Anyhow, I'm unable to reproduce the bug, so the best I can do is attempt to blindly fix the issue...
Try this - replace the existing superluminal.jar in the editor's directory, and see if the problem persists. I added an additional position update on mouseUp, hopefully it'll prevent the image from jumping.

Failing that, I'll try to get rid of the superfluous variable, which will require much more work, but should fix it for good...

Urk. I guess I'll stick with the stock one then.

So, question, is it possible to add interior images for empty rooms? I love making little doodads for my ships <3

No, and I so wish there was a way

*bashes head into wall*

Is there any way, using your ship editor, to make a ship use up two fuel per Jump?

I suppose you're asking about fuel -- nope, there's no way to do this.
You could modify events to subtract 1 fuel each time the player jumps (so that each jump effectively costs 2 fuel), but that would require fiddling with events - which have to be edited manually.

Is that hard? How would I do that?

You can subtract items from the player using <item_modify> tags: The event that is called when player reaches the exit is FINISH_BEACON in events.xml. Fiddle around with it, look at the other events to see how it's done, take a look at other mods... If you're completely stuck, creating a new thread to ask your question(s) might be a good idea.

Sorry for asking, but how do you rotate manned areas for systems? I've tried right clicking, double clicking, clicking and dragging, right clicking with default mouse, and several other things, any idea how to do it? I'm almost done with my first ship mod, I just need this tidbit of info to finish up.
