(SOLVED) Weapon wont equip..
« on: March 24, 2012, 01:02:15 PM »

So, I made a ship and I'm having a bit of trouble..

It works fine except one of the small slots simply won't equip a weapon in the refit screen, it applies the flux cost, but the weapon never shows in the slot, nor does it show or fire in combat..

Is there a limit to the number of turrets/hardpoints on a ship? If so, why does mine stop working when i only have 17 slots, compared to Conquest with 23? is it based on ship size?

Is it a destroyer or a capital? And have you made sire that the weapon slot says what weapon it can have, what size, in the .variant file?

Posting your .ship file, along with what weapon is giving you trouble, would help. Otherwise it's hard to guess at what might be going wrong (perhaps the slot is "HIDDEN"?)

Normally this is what happens when you have two turrets/hardpoints sharing the same ID.
Make sure all of them have different IDs.

I think I may have found the problem.. Yeah, it works now

For some inexplicable reason WS 002 had renamed itself to WS 003 (the same one that was giving me trouble) between the ship editor, the Json vaildator, and my .ship file...

Now I feel dumb :P
