Mod problems

I tried changing some of the graphics and information within my Rebel cruiser mod, but I continue to be unable to load it.

These kinds of problems can be so hard to track. It really sucks, but sometimes what you have to do is start from scratch and manually add things in one piece at a time. And play between pieces. (also putting "always" on quest flags helps until you're sure about them)

Never add two things at once.

Yeah, i think buggy quests tend to break it without giving you any output. Also go through all your ships' weapons and make sure they get loaded, too. It's been a while, so i don't remember what gives usefull feedback on crashing and what doesn't.

All I'm trying to do is add a new ship.

I will try to take on this problem one step at a time. I will start with changing the graphics, then proceed further.

I have been able to resolve the issues I was having.
I forgot to keep a letter lower-case and there was an errant 's' which pluralized a word.

As always, there are other issues that pop-up.
The game doesn't seem to like my graphics much. My lights don't fade in and out, my ship does. lol

I'm going to continue.

That's a problem with the alpha layer. It should be white where your ship is, but totally black under the lights area. If you don't have an alpha layer at all, you'll get black rectangles around all your ships (which may only be noticeable when they cross paths or when bullets impact the outside edge).

And if you have anything other than pure black under the lights section, it'll blot out your ship when they fade in.

That did it.

Everything is looking good now.
