My first mod
 

Me and a friend are working on sharpening our modding skills. For now we're trying to add a ship to the game. Yeah, we're pretty green http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

I made some sprites using the mod guide, and ,apparently, something's gone wrong (I know, you're shocked http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif). The sprites look all right to me but the game won't divide them properly. Instead of one big ship with lights on it, I get the whole thing, turrets and all, scaled down so much you can barely see it.

At first I thought the frames were messed up, but I checked them and they look right, so I'm kind of lost right now.

Sorry if I'm not being clear, english is not my mother tongue. I've attached the mod to this file if you want to have a look at it (it's an artless mess, we're just trying to get it to run).

Any help would much appreciated!

EDIT: We took the hardpoint locations from the Mizendar mod, but we won't be using them in our final mod. As I said, this is just a test run to get our graphics to work.

Thanks!

The main thing is that you need to make sure the the ini file that defines the frames matches the name of the main graphic (so rename firefly.ini to ter_fir.ini).

As a side note, make sure that the third frame has 64 for its dimentions (instead of 65). I'm not sure if that'll crash anything, but that's what it should be.
