It seems to be something with surfaces, so either turning them off or restarting the sandbox should work. It does for me at least.

thank you, that worked perfectly. also, does anyone know where I can get sb4? it didn't come with the latest version of bsf.

sb4? That's the version of SM. To get a file like that, just make a ship and save it.

no, I still have sb3. if I save, I get sb3 files. where do I get sb4?

You DL the newest version. Do mind the fact that you can't use any sb3 ships in it, though. You'll have to discard your old ships or rebuild them in sb4.

Twin auto cannon doesn't like its stats changed. Changed the stats on two different ships to the default for the ASC meta game and it throws index out of bounds errors. Next time i get the error i paste the text here.

Don't believe this has come up before, but occasionally when I load a ship into sandbox that has mirrored twin autocannons, they are all "there" but the mirrored half does not load the sprites. They are basically invisible. This even happens if I remove some, the mirrored ones still don't show up.

Edit, This appears to happen if the weapon is depthed when mirrored.

Pic to show what I mean.

I did not alter the artillery at all. everything seems to work properly exept every time it fires I get this error message.

Crazyeyes, I think that's because depthed weapons don't mirror well. Manually mirror the weapon and then depth it.

Yeah, figured that out at about 2 AM last night... lol

May I point out that ".sb4" is a file format? It the format the newest shipmaker uses to save all ship schematics in, like how paint uses ".jpeg" or ".png" to save images. It's not a downloadable addon or something. Every time you save a ship, you get two files: .sb4 for usage in the SM, and .shp for usage in BSF. Easy as pie.

For christ's sake people, READ THE REST OF THE THREAD BEFORE REPORTING A BUG. This is only the... fourth or fifth fucking time this has been reported.

Don't scream at me if this has already been posted but, for some reason, when I download v. 90b, the shipmaker is the older version, before v. 90a with all the old weapons and the old interface. Any explanation or help?

EDIT: I just read a similar problem, only this is another computer I'm using, not the one with the older version. This is the first time I'm downloading it here. So I'm having a bit of trouble here.

AD, he means that when he DL's the current BSF version, it doesn't install the new version of ShipMaker.

Capyain Teric, is this your first time downloading BSF (any version) or are you trying to update an old version you have?

When I tried to update my old version, I had the same problem. If you are trying to update an old version, try deleting the old version of ShipMaker and then re-download the new version. That fixed it for me.

PetrifiedGnome, this may be related to your bit of trouble, but I can't help you as much.

All in all, it seems to me that there is definitely some small glitch in the downloader that needs to be remedied. I thought I was isolated in my DL trouble way back when, but it is very obvious now that I am not. This should really be looked into. My dad, a computer scientist, always says that the most important part of any program is the downloader, 'cuz if the downloader ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
