I am running 1.0x and the ship files are causing me big headaches.
I initially played a custom race using the terran ship set. I designed some ships, and submitted them for sharing at the core.
I changed my custom race for different colors and to use the Yor ship set. I want to be able to share these designs as well, but can't. The game is not creating a new shipclass file but lists the shipclass file names from the original iteration. For example old design named VSS Colonizer. New design named VSS New Horizions. I have a new "VSS new horizions" cfg file but the shipclass file still shows "vss colonizer". Since I have to include both the shipclass and the cfg to allow others to share I am stopped short as only one of those files is there.
I went as far as to start over. I deleted ALL the files (I moved to another folder the ones i wanted to store) in the ships folder and started from scratch AGAIN (even included a color adjustment). I did not load any saved games from the previous maps. What does the game do? It re-creates those very first shipclass files but gives a new cfg file. So I have the new cfg file showing the correct name, the old shipclass files showing the old name, and a level of frustration that is looking down on Everest's peak.
I want to move on and try another ship set but I don't want to lose my current designs, yet can't save them elsewhere because of the missing files. And the ships I hope I never see again I can't get rid of.
Any help would be appreciated.
Now the hard part of not losing where this thread is. (watch thread don't work for me. I keep getting timed out denials when I try to add a thread.)
