my battle cruiser is so big it covers 1/3 of the map when in truth everything is supposed to be the size of an onslaught, i have replaced, edited, removed and pasted another one,  re saving in the editor with new graphics, you name it trying to get it to its intended size, but nothing works, why? does the game hate me? its guns, shield, gravity, engines are all where they are supposed to be, but the graphics are not

Imagine the amount o guns I could put on that, Check the pixel size?

pixel size is 182- 297 but it looks like this

Is the picture centered in the .png file?

[ValkyriaL]

Yea, but its NOT supposed to be that big and NOT supposed to so far off from ... uh itself >.> i have edited that pic 20 times now and it still wont change.

Can I have it? A ship that big would be EPIC as a mother ship

[icepick37]

did you check the pixels/in? Maybe that is not what the game is expecting?

EDIT: What editor are you using. Also might be helpful to post the image of the ship itself as well.

I have seen instances where some shoddy editors will sort of resize a picture, but they actually just end up changing how it gets rendered, leaving the complete original resolution image behind which some programs (possibly including starfarer, as well as the photo thumbnail generator on my phone) will display instead.

how do i fix that then?, this faction works if i play it alone, but it has that enormous ship which i cant fix, if i add my other faction and tries to create a new save, the came crashes to this

27496 [Thread-6] ERROR com.fs.starfarer.combat.String  - java.lang.RuntimeException: Fleet id [null] not found for faction [nephalem]
java.lang.RuntimeException: Fleet id [null] not found for faction [nephalem]

if i add Uomoz Corvus 16 on top of that, the game doesn't start at all to the same error.

if i remove the neph faction the game works perfectly with my other faction + Uomoz Corvus 16 on its own. sooo

What is going on?...

[ValkyriaL]

I did re size it from 5000 something stupid to something around 1000, but it ended up like this,  and now i have re sized it to 300 and it still looks like that.

Ummmmm. That all looks good/right.

Do you have a copy of the giant one somewhere still? Can you confirm that you are referencing the correct version?

[Avan]

Actually the size of that image is is 186x397 - if you used the 182x297 as your dimensions in the .ship file, that would likely cause weird things to happen.

[ValkyriaL]

I don't have the giant one anymore, the one i linked is the only one i have as i have edited it so many times to get it to the correct size.

[ValkyriaL]

Oh...i found the error T.T im so embarrassed right now... but nvm that i have a new problem.. the game actually works now. for a while, it crashes to the same error after like 5 minutes of game play, this one
