or what if you're building on both sides at once for whatever reason?

or if your making asymetrical ships, i hate hitting the M button then...

My question has probably been answered but i didn't find anything in search and i don't have that much time to read 25 pages...
I would like to know if there are any guides to create sprites, new modules and weapons (or just mod some) so that i can create my collection of ships.
Thank you for your time,

look at the Shipmaking Info And Resources , there's a bunch of stickies, read through them, and just take some time to read it.

I haven't been around the forums much lately, but that doesn't mean I stopped making ships. I just didn't feel too motivated to post them any more.
ANYWAY...
The last ship I made is having some trouble. It seems that when I spawn it in sandbox the parenting goes all wrong and sections that are supposed to rotate are moving, and I have weapons that are firing even though shooting is disabled.

(Nota Bene: I have a slight ship glow set to gray)

Should I post the source files or does anyone already know what I should do about this? I've tried all my usual fixes like re-mirroring it right before saving, spawning it again after running BSF in normal mode, and "clear mirroring status"-ing before saving the .shp file, to no avail.

Unless you're using the "warp in" feature then I must say this is a stumper. If you are not, then good luck.

I keep getting this each time I try to import a custom sprite!

What do I need to do, to fix this?

try editing the sprite extension so its in lowercase.

Tried that... didden't work.

out of curiosity... is there a reason the .shp files don't show up in windows explorer?

or is this the "installing it on vista in program files" bug which i didn't know about until after i had installed the game?

Yup. vista hides bsf stuff somewhere...

that is truly weird... i just tried, and the ship editor and the explorer window are at the same place because a file 'blah.txt' in the explorer window shows up in the SM open window... i am confuz

so, next question, how do i get all my ships nao? so i can back them up then reinstall?

nemovc Vista withs annoying UAC hides your ship files in virtual store I think try looking there.

Thats a bingo! Much thanks

I was halfway through building a fleet but suddenly the folder i was keeping them in disappeared any solutions?
I am running windows XP and the folder was in custom ships. Hopefully someone knows!
