Nut shell version - I created some ship templates and saved them. Exited the game a bit and came back, loaded up my game and went back, and well my templates are not showing up in game! They are in the folder, I see them in the folder outside of the game but they are not showing up in the designer. Thoughts? User error on my part?
Any help?
Created ships in ship builder / saved them as templates. They are in the folders however not showing up in the game in which they were created.
All techs are unlocked - just created basic ships with nothing special installed on them.
Yes, same problem here. If I save my ships as templates:
1. they are not availible to build
2. I can't load them in the designer or anywhere else
Anybody able to use his ship templates?
Not if templates work Paul said something about the in one of the Streams about taking them out. I think that is what he said.
Have you tried putting them in the main game Designer folder to see if the show up ??? I would only move one and I would not do this with out making a back up of the folder first!
OK try this look in new designs and see if they show up under hulls type or size.
Interesting note - while they are not showing up in current games, they are showing up in new games
this is because the 'available' ship designs are stored in the save game file. And these 'available' designs are added to it either (in the current game) by designing a ship during game-play or during game creation by scanning the design folder.
Adding designs to the directory will not make them available in already existing game(save)s, because the design folder is not rescanned during an active game or during a game load.
In one of the dev feeds Paul said that they might think about making a 'import' button in the designer to actively load a ship design / part design.
The same happens with the xml files and possible other resources too.
I have requested a feature to allow the in-game updating of xml files for modding and testing, but maybe a similar feature could be requested for ship designers and the (test) users of these designs.
Well that seems silly - you would think they would scan everytime the game loaded/loads...
Apparently this is still an issue in 5.1.
I just designed a few ships and saved them as templates and they are not showing up at all in the game. I haven't checked if they show up in a new game, but it just seems odd that a template designed in the designer won't become available immediately. At least they should save as a current in-game design AND as a template.
