    Thanx. I was doing exactly what you described minus the glass railings. If you did notice I had replaced on of them on the lower part, but I stopped there because for some reason I did read the description of the part and it reads "SV/CV/HV/BA", so I thought I did not have to replace them. Seems the two sub part teams railway and glass slope are not designated they are supposed to.

    Seems I am going to have a long night to continue the rest of her. Need to make somewhere some descent space for HV and small SV to dock, change internal decoration and room arrangement etc.

    Another late night working on the Ebon Hawk again. The cockpit turned out pretty nice although there are some Timelord shenanigans going on with the dimensions. The interior of the cockpit in KoTOR shows the windows slope down towards the front and that does not match the exterior shots. I also think it might be bigger on the inside. /grumble

    I'm probably going to have to lengthen the ship a bit more. /grumble grumble

    *sends in the droids*

    Still trying to figure out how I want to handle the doors and corridors.

    The old guy needs help again! My Achilles BP was red-lined and I can't remember the syntax for 'prefabinfo'.

    For all commands in the console you can type "help" followed by the command (with a space between "help" and the command) to see options.

    For prefabinfo, just specify the name of your blueprint as it appears in the list. For example, if your blueprint's name is "CV_MyBigBaby" then the complete command would be...

    prefabinfo CV_MyBigBaby

    Hope this is not conisdered hijacking, as it is what i did today, for our server, I just say so here as well ;)
    If it is, i'm sorry.
    (well the video is a bit older, but the 'planned event' is from today)

    Since i'm more the analytic guy and it wasnt my event, the other participatants took over the 'entertaining' part....
    German speaking server, sponantious race event late night:


    And if above video wasnt enough of a clue....
    As it happens on a german server, I'm only willing to give the award to german speaking people that will stay on the server.

    Sooo.... Falls du einen PvE und anfängerfreundlich (du darfst hilfe auch ablehnen! Wir wollen deinen Survival spass nicht mindern, du musst es nur sagen), und sehr entspannten deutschen server suchst, hätte ich derzeit grad einen Event für dieses Wochende geplant, wo man mein neustes CV (not yet in workshop) inkl Cargo SV) gewinnen kann.
    Wir sind ein bau orienter server, es gibt einen (1) pvp planeten, der wird jedoch nie besucht :)
    Anyone who is willing to join the race 'as such' may do so (hovers will be provided) - However, only german speaking (native or foreign, but enough to communicate) players have a chance to recieve the reward-cv.
    (Any forum reader here may PM me here their bewished hover for the race, so i can pre-subscribe it and have it ready at hand upon your arrival.
    This is also required so we can confirm that enough server-slots are available for the race, if this is not granted for our server players, any none german speaking/responding players will be asked to leave for a while or be kicked (or temp banned) from the server, so it is essential that you let us know of your expected arrival)

    Server / Forum in my signature.
    Direktlink zum Forumspost: http://der-rentner-treff.de/forum/i...vent-auf-drt-empyrion/&postID=14398#post14399

    The event will take place either sunday or monday evening (awaiting player feedback), but either way:
    21:00 german local time, i think that is either: GMT+1 or GMT+2

    Yeah, i remembered the 'help' bit, just thought I was getting the syntax wrong becuause it would say "prefab not found". I ran into this before but the solution af making a new BP with a different name doesn't seem to be working this time. Very frustrating.:(

    Ebon Hawk Progress report: So I didn't get too much done today. Gotta sleep sometime ya know?

    But I did lengthen the ship by another 2 blocks and tweaked the engines. They're looking proper now. The interior has been slow going. Did the bridge yesterday and roughed in the communications room today. Working on the main hold right now. I spent a lot of time experimenting with that first corridor from the bridge to the main hold. It's all curves and angles, something Empyrion doesn't do very well on a smaller scale but I think it's about as good as I can make it. I've had to make compromises due to limitations of the game engine but I think when this is done anyone's who's ever been on the Ebon Hawk is going to feel right at home.

    That's what I like about building in games like Empyrion, SL, even the Sims. The challenge of creating within the limitations of the engine.

    That's also what I hate most about building in games like Emprion, SL, the Sims. The frustration of creating within the limitations of the engine. o_O

    Ah... too bad. And no way to find the problem ? I can't see how a new snapshot is not showing in the BP list unless you are too far from the ship...

    If it's not related to "obsolete devices" or bad blocks, could it be related to the ship being too close to another structure when taking the snapshot (alt-o) ? I had a problem once with parts missing from a ship after spawning it because when I took the snapshot it was too close to Akua trade station (in orbit). The blueprint showed no error though, but there was a whole "layer" of blocks missing all the length of the ship.

    Are you using spaces in the name? 'Cos that throws it off; try making copy with a really simple name. Call it something like 1234, no spaces, no underscores or hyphens.

    Nice!

    We're planning something like that too!

    actual without any link between all these, I'm showing the actual progress on my Paradise track too!
    there are missions for checking the Gates and giving you rewards at the end (which can be checked) to counter "cheating"...

    @Kassonnade & @Razorwire , I'm not sure which suggestion did the trick because I did them together. THANK YOU! :):p:D
    It turns out I used the 'PERSONAL STORAGE' units in my crew's quarters. I checked and saw that it was so identified as 'not allowed in BP' in the creative menu.

    That should be shown in 'RED' as it is rather important and out of the ordinary info.
    And why the hell is something so innocuous as 3 lockers forbidden on BPs???

    I guess it's because that's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, I don't li-i-i-i-ke it! uh-huh, uh-huh! :confused::mad::rolleyes:o_O

    Well, anyway, thanks again for ALL your help. It's time to do my taxes!:(

    You know what I would love to design someone since I'm not a designer for a CV? Replica Space Shuttle who would be a CV and two linked rockets as SV docked on a CV It looks like it does transport Space Shuttle in orbit. It would be great to build a base that looks like a launch ramp. Imagine how it would look with new thrusters. It would have liked to have it in the game.

    Today's lesson.

    Never exit the game while sitting in the cockpit of an SV. Fortunately, simply relaunching the game after getting out of the cockpit took care of the laaaaaag problem. :oops:
