Hi everybody, I recently got some ships in the custom ships forum. The ships I got were made with custom sprites. I got all the sprites and obviously the ships but each time I try to load one in sandbox mode, it says that the sprites were missing. Can someone please help?!?!?! :cry:

Where did you put the sprites? The problem is usually that you do not have the sprites where the game can see them, or that you do not have them in the same spot as the person who used them to build the ship.

I put them in the custom sprites folder. At first I thought it was because the sprites were in a folder and needed to be directly in the folder. Heres a screen shot!

The problem here is that the sprites aren't within their respective folders within the custom sprites folder itself.
They're usually organised into different folders, one folder for each sprite pack.

It didnt' work. I deleted all the custom sprites and ships and redownloaded them. This time I put them in the custom sprites folder, the ships and sprites, and tried it. But it was still the same error.

I did not mean to dump all the sprites into just one folder within custom sprites itself.
They should be in appropriately named folders in custom sprites, e.g Battleships Forever\Custom sprites\Kae_shn\spritenamehere
If done right, your custom sprites folder should look something like this:

BTW there's no need to put the ship files in the custom sprites folder. They should work from pretty much anywhere.
