Modding / Help Desperately Needed
« on: February 23, 2012, 11:00:18 PM »
Hello, first time poster here, got the game a couple of weeks ago and loved it. Thought I would try my hand at adding my own ship into the game to see how I could fiddle with it, however I have run into a considerable problem. The past thirty two attempts I have made to create a successful .ship file have apparently failed. I tried using the unofficial .ship data editor and the .ship/.variant editors to create the .ship file, and both of them result in different crash error messages.

The unofficial one resulted in a [KEY] exception, which I was unable to determine the meaning of. The second .ship editor resulted in a series of ship.cvs errors which culminated in me replacing an existing ship with the design I was attempting to mod in. THIS however, resulted in a [path/to/sprite] resource, not found in starfarer.res (shortened the error message for sake of brevity). I have gone through at least a dozen attempts at ensuring that the .ship file is correctly looking for the .png file in the location it should be. I have also attempted to change that location thinking it could just be an error uploading from that folder. Recreating the .ship file and accessing the .png image from various locations have also had similar failures. I have checked numerous times to ensure that there are no misspellings (just calling the ship Test) and that all files are following the appropriate formats. 

So far, no luck, and after six hours, I have given up and come here seeking assistance.
Help would be extremely appreciated!  :)
