I attempt to open a .cmod file and it will not open the ship. What can I do to open this ship in spacecraft editor or do I need to do something different?

angry Ok since I am having sooooo much trouble with this, I have Celestia 1.6.1 on my computer and I downloaded the Battlestar Galactica TOS add on. I want to add more detail to have a better looking Battlestar Galactica and colonial vipers for this add on. All attempts to do this have only met with limited success. Is there someone who can achieve this and help me? and share it with me? Thank you.

Is there any possible way to take spacecraft and convert them into models that Blender could read? i would love to make some 3D renders of the shuttle.

I am unable to run it. It will crash upon loading. The window will pop open, but it is blank white, and then it will crash. How do I make sure I installed it correctly? I am using Windows 7 x64, and I am using the windows only "lazy" version.

Try to delete d3dcompiler_43.dll from editor folder. On some systems WebGL does not work without this file, on some with it.

Does anyone know how to update the offline version of the Ship Editor linked in the OP with the new hyperdrive variants and shield features?

Also, is there a way to rotate the single nozzle nucelar engine to face the opposite direction?

^ As far as I know, no, parts cannot be rotated. I do really want this feature though - even a rudimentary version using keyboard controls in 90-degree increments would be nice - particularly for the shunting engines, which currently can't point forward and backward, making those controls seem a little unrealistic in the actual game. Sideways radiators and shields would also be nice.

Oh, and while I'm requesting features: I'd love a toggleable option to NOT auto-spawn truss segments when placing modules. When I stick on 6 engines at once, for instance, the editor spawns dozens of the little things everywhere, which bloat the overall polygon count (a big concern when exporting the models for use in other games), often make the ship ugly, and are a big pain to erase en masse.





Intel HD Graphics 4000 ;P

Not in the editor, but in the ship editor in SE in 0.9.7.4 (press Shift-F2 while selecting a ship) you can edit modules in any way you like, including arbitrary rotation amounts.

i'm not experienced with this kind of thing, but can someone who does, maybe construct the HERMES spacecraft from The Martian?

That would be really cool.

Thanks in advance.





Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space.

So can this new configuration with the reversed single nozzle nuclear engine be permanently saved to the .sss file from in game?

The save button in SE ship editor writes changes made with SE Ship Editor into the .sss file.
If you add engine flames to a model, the Editor will write changes in the .cfg model file.

Thanks.

Another question: In the Russian forum there is a post from the SE ship editor creator about RCS thruster that faces forward and backward. Since my Russian is not the best (I don't have a clue actually tongue ) does anybody know how to implement them in the editor or in the in-game editor? Thanks and sorry for my ignorance sad .

Wow, they're seriously working in russian forum. thanks for the link. It seems SHW published a small update to the prototype javascript editor. I hope it doesn't mind if we also take a look at it!

How do I save modifications to ships from within the SE 0.9.74 ship editor?

I can only do basic stuff and I want to slightly rotate and edit a couple of the craft using SHIFT+F2 - which I can do fine but when I click Save it does not seem to do anything and I reload the game and it all resets?

If I need to use the downloaded editor ( i have the 'Lazy' version) then how do I open the default ships with it? I get a syntax error when I try to do so.

Thx.
