1. Allow me to assure you that a single, plain text punctuation mark is perfectly sufficient.
2. No one wants to download broken ships. If they don't work, remove them from the pack.
3. No one wants to download ships without pictures. Take some screenshots, upload them to an image host, and post them here.
3b. Don't come back with thumbnails.

I downloaded these just to see wat they were, and

AGHHHHHHHHHH MY EEYYEESSS THE GOGGLES won't WORK AAGGHHH!(don't take it to seriously)

get rid of the stock green before everyone else says the same thing.
apart from that. the 2 i looked at were OK, but try and break up the repitition, especialy on the firestorm. and they all go to fast.

if your lucky, someone will give you the link to that colouring guide for newbies...

but still, atleast you havent gone too bad on the normal uber noob mistakes from what i looked at.

Edit: thanks Danny420Dale for the colouring guide link.

@i_am_egg: remember what I said last time about reducing your own fail? Yeah. Not there yet.

@iamsamoht: It's preferred that you post pictures (normal zoom, please crop them, be the first to get it right from the start please?) of your ships. That way we can critisize them much quicker, much more easily, and we'll be more likely to actually do it.

@Danny: it's egghead, taking his asessments as valid isn't gonna help.

Ok sorry about the Green but most of these ships are a bit old and i will puting my new ship And hopefully some screenshots and if you know how fix the errors please say

If you press F9, you can select a rectangular field. That field will be your screenshot. Please consider pressing F9 when no selected pieces are flashing: press F11 to go into preview mode to make sure of that. You can find the screenshot in "Battlehips Forever\SMScreenshots".

All of this is in the help manual anyway: press F1 in either the game or the shipmaker.

If this method doesn't work for you, press "fn" + "prt sc" (Function + print screen) to take a screenshot, then go to MS paint to edit it.

You need to lurk.
Could someone direct him to a ship building guide?

Remarks

-Parenting is screwed. Please look at the Shipmaking Info and Resources section.
-I salute your attempt to colour, but there is much room for improvement.
-Ships do not have continuity. They do not look like a fleet.
-Weapon spam.

Please try to improve.
Thank you. Have a nice day.

Some of you people need to break from the herd and actually read what he wrote. Whether hes actually not able to take screen shots or more likely just didn't know how, he asked several times for help fixing his ships that don't work.

Iamsamsmoht: More than willing to take a look and identity the errors keeping you from using your ships but there are a lot of them so I need more information.
1) Which ships are actually not working?
2) I need to know how they aren't working since if its some setting on your end I wouldn't see the problem. Are they giving an error when you spawn them in-game or are you just having troubles with triggers, parenting, and the like?

i_am_egg · Post by **i_am_egg** » Sun Apr 12, 2009 10:35 am

Iamsamsmoht, in wat way won't your PC allow you to put pictures on here?

if we are not given the actual problem specificaly, we can't help at all.

Ah, Noctis and his doodles, wasn't that stickied somewhere?

organize and use them how you like but as far as the ships not working I'm not gonna try them all out right now so you need to let me know what isn't working for you.

Most of these ships just make me go 'lolwut?'. They're illogical amalgams of a shimillion different parts, and they look more like junkyard scrap than spaceships. They're supposed to be starships, built in a logical (and aesthetic) fashion. Please keep that in mind for the next batch. Technique wise;

1) Colours: Use a color wheel, srsly. You can find them on the internet.

2) Section usage: Ships here are supposed to look good. Getting it right the first time is difficult, but I'm sure you can do better than this if you gave it some thought. Use the right section for the job, and you'll have made a start.

3) Repetition: some ships are just made purely out of section 22. DON'T. DO THAT. EVER. It looks hideous and is regarded as cheap. Vary your sections, but keep number 2) in mind.

All in all, there's one decent (not good, decent) starter ship in here and that's the space station. Even though it suffers from all ^ of these errors, it's simple design makes that excusable, largely since th15's space stations weren't much different. Still, it's only a start. Much to learn, you still have.

Now go forth and improve, young one.

The numbers i am referring are the filenumbers of the screenshot (rc-properties) of the generically made F11-F9 combination in the shipmaker, courtesy to th15 and jwa8402.

The symmetrical ship looks stocked out, and quite good, except the coloring. They do look stock and non-special, as they use plain sections and normal aesthetics, not to critic th15's sense of battleshippiness.

The asymmetrical ships....some of them are battle-functional, and more to the aesthetics<armory, e.g: 8(broadsider), 9(ablatives, appreciate them) 11 and 24(shielding). But some ships (23, 26, 27, 28) are made of pure fail. No offense. Things could snap off worse than Hestia's wing strut. No, Hestia's wing strut is quite leet. Okay, no comparison.

And utmost apology, WHERE THE HICKAMAJIGGERS ARE THE CUSTOM SECTIONS??? Use tilde (~) and Z for l33tness in making, and combine it by pressing 1 to 4. You'll see.

Wait a second. It's that a custom section at 25? Yeah, you do know how to import. But then you can get a lot of asset just by using the above method.

Other than that, hearing from others, i don't dare to download and see the parenting. But yeah, parenting matters. You should, no offense again, click on a section, click on the section toolbar to create a section parented to the former. The latter will be parented to it automatically, and your ship wouldn't be a chain of parented sections.

@AD: Yep, lolwut. Especially when i see the i_am_epicfailular shiz we're at. No offense egghead. Or eggy. Mr egg. Eggpicfailular. lulz i can't stop laughing. Anyways, AD, most of the section 22 is not spammed, just misplaced. The small section 4 (or 3?) is. Okay, 4 (or 3?) and 22, you're right.
