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,
Xilacnog

look at the Shipmaking Info And Resources , there's a bunch of stickies, read through them, and just take some time to read it.
Nothing is forever. It can't be. 'Cause everyone changes.

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.
Shot of ship in SM preview mode:

Shot of ship in BSF Sandbox mode:

(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.

Help
I keep getting this each time I try to import a custom sprite!
___________________________________________
ERROR in
action number 1
of Other Event: User Defined 0
for object gui_tools:
Invalid format!
Custom sprites\Vat_sec01.PNG
Press ignore to replace with '?' sprite, or abort to terminate the game.
What do I need to do, to fix this?

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?

the dice gods don't seem to be favouring me today... possibly because i was playing BG not BFS
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?
