Cosmoteer Official Forum

Arilou_Laleelay I assumed it was the same PNG as the Ship Design.

Hmm, good point. I can understand how that might be confusing.

Arilou_Laleelay What if you resize convert each block to 2x2

I don't understand what you're suggesting here?

My general instinct is that paint programs can be better for creating the overall shape of a ship, especially when you want the ship to have nice curves or other shapes that are hard to make with the tools in Cosmoteer. But in terms of specific part types, orientations, and doors, I'm not convinced that a paint program would provide a better interface for doing that detail work than Cosmoteer. I'm happy to be convinced otherwise, however!

Arilou_Laleelay PS: I love this forum software!

Yeah, it's the cleanest I've found, pretty modern feeling. It's still in development though, so it's got some missing features, like previews on new posts, and some bugs.

Hey, I'm having trouble finding the Saved Ships Folder, although I did ask the downloader to put the files in a file I have for my own stuff (Shared computer). Any way to save my ships in different folder? or should I just wait until the next update hits and be more careful when I download it? I'll see if I can search directly for it. Thanks.

Walt Thank you!

So, would I have to put ".ship" on the end of its name like the Model-(number/letter here)s? Or do I still put the ".ship.png"?

Not exactly sure what you're asking. The filename should end with .ship.png, but when you save a ship in-game, it adds the .ship.png for you.

Walt Ok, Yeah I got it working. I added the .ship to the end when I clicked "save image" and it added the .png for me. Thanks though!

Walt
lol it was sooo easy to do

Thanks walt, love your game

Hi Walt,

I am experiencing a problem with saving my ship designs. When I try to save a ship by going into buildmode and then select the save ship design-option, an error message shows up that it does not have access to the "C:\Users.....\My Games\Cosmoteer\Saved Ships\Mk I.ship.png". I have checked my settings if my System or Administrator have any restrictions, which they do not. Do you have any idea what the problem could be?

I love your game! I see massive potential.

robinwrd This is covered in the FAQ.

Solarwatch It doesn't let me put ships into the game, even though it shows them in the my ships tab for getting a new ship from the ship library

Please start a new topic and post the actual error.

You should ask the creator of a mod before sharing anything from it in your mod. Legally speaking, they own the copyright to their mod.

Abraxos I don't have imgur.

I don't understand what you mean. Just click the "attach" button to the right of Post Reply.

I must say. Devising a way to save the ship design as a picture of said design is very ingenuous. Whoever wants to check how the ship looks like before loading it can just load it as a picture instead of a ship design. Very ingenuous indeed. My only problem with it is that it tends to save it as a blueprint or as some darkened version of it.

Rather annoying, i hope it gets fixed. Still good and impressive, though.

It'll save it as the blueprints if the blueprints are at all different from the ship's physical state.

Not sure why it saves dark -- that's a bug I've never experienced myself and haven't figured out yet.

I have surpris
