Hi i'm very new with Battleships Forever and with Shipmaker and I saw that this guy Kaelis made some new sprites. They looked pretty cool so i downloaded them had to download 7-zip to open them. Put them in my custom sprite folder and used import section sprite, and built some ships. But when i go in to play the game theres a weird yellow glow around the sections like in a square shape. I tried turning of glow and stuff like that on the sections but nothing happened. Help? This is also my first post ever using this forum so im new to this too.

On the in-game options menu you should be able to disable all glows. Its been a while for me so you might want someone else to verify.

And here I was hoping no one would ever ask this question again, since it's been answered so many times and is in the Shipmaker's FAQ at the top of the damn forum.
Q: How do I fix the weird glow bug on custom sections?

A: There are a couple of ways to do this.

1: You can turn off the glow for all ships, in the Options menu ingame. Use the Colours selector and cycle until you reach 'Glow', then set all the sliders to the left.

2: In Shipmaker, select the offending section(s), go to the Effects tab, and toggle "Disable Glow" to "On".

Didn't mean to come off like a dick, this is just my general irritation with a continued failure of people to read the FAQ before asking their question.

Maybe the faq should be set up like terms of service that you have to read and check off before you can post. Or I've seen another where in order to post, you have to answer a simple trivia question about the content of the forum. Wouldn't help probably :roll:
