I have gathered together the 512 shiny sprites and compiled them into a folder. There is also an .ini file with 128 images in each of the four groups.
Directions (for newcomers):
Place the "kae_shn" folder into the custom sprites folder.
Place the ini file wherever you will remember to access it.
In shipmaker... > Tools > Open Sprites Ini > Locate the Ini file that you just unpacked
Sprites are now accessible
Note: Press ~ then a number to select a group if you don't already know that . You only need to press ~ once to change the selection mode, not each time.
Took awhile since I only know how to import sprites one by one, but now I bring all the known shiny sections in one convenient download.
Shiny Sections By: Kaelis
Prepared for use by: Zalausai
I figured that I'd give something back to the community.
Prepared and Tested on Windows 7 Home Premium: Service Pack 1
Zalausai Edit: Renamed the folder containing the sprites to Kae_Shn.
Zalausai Edit: There is a new ini file included in the download, v1.01, there were two entries of Kae_Shn037, now there is only one.

Um, remember the sprite name rules - Kaelis' shiny sections have to go in a folder named Kae_shn inside Custom sprites or pretty much no custom ship using those sprites will work.

Re: Shiny Sections - Newbie Friendly
I forgot about that, I'll edit the post when the new ini file is finished since this one uses the folder named "shining". It works fine though, so re configuring it shouldn't be a problem.

Nice idea, I had a hell of a time when I first started with custom sprites and the folder stuff.

Re: Shiny Sections - Newbie Friendly
Glad I made something useful. Should I make more ini file utilizing the ship maker repack sprites?
