[Bug] Ship Designer Bug Parts not saving properly?

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hi there

(First time caller, long time listener!)

I'm having difficulty saving parts from the ship designer.  Sometimes only a part of the component saves.

For example:

I crack open the Terran transporter template and grab the central little cross thing (made of Terran Model 23 and 26) using CTRL LMB from the component list, adding parts left-to-right. I then hit the little save-grouped-parts button, and it appears in the Parts menu - although I usually get the blank-thumbnail bug too.

But anyway, thumbnail aside, when I click on the new part it only shows Terran Model 26, and the 4-mirrored Terran Model 23 little arm things in the shape of a cross are missing.

This happens pretty much everywhere, whether grabbing a group of components from an existing design, or building a ship from scratch. Some "bits" will always be missing from the saved component.

From what I can see I'm following the types of steps that for example Gauntlet uses in his Race Mod YouTube tutorials, but I can never get them to work.

Is this a bug or a Class I Operator Error?

Yes, this is an exciting topic. I also encountered a problem when saving custom often I do not receive full sset - in the new custom part only half of the marked parts  remained :'(

Custom parts will not work properly if:

 

1) All parts are not connected to each other.

2) You use mirror commands.

3) A part is added to a custom part, which is connected to your entire new custom part ;)

1) No, I checked it out

3) No, I already know that it is not working  ^_^

2) Usually it does not affect the process of saving.
