Why did no one use the ships I made? I never did get feed back on them. They all worked just fine for me and looked good in the game.

Then post them here and let the peanut gallery have a go at them (when the game gets released, that is...)

My personal take on space combat and stuff, while keeping the storyline from the first campaign.

Dang, but this game has a lot of big files!!! Modding this sucker is going to be a full-time job...

Come on, give us a chance to look at them before you assume we will hate them!

How about a link?

The slot configurations don't specify what picture to use. You have to press Background->Load (CTRL-B), and pick a portrait to use on your own.

For the StoreModder, you should load your components file and your main_shops.txt in order to have something to work with

Very cool utils, SJ. When opening a file I saved in the SFslotmodder, and choose the one design I have from the list (and click Edit) I get an 'Error 55, File aready open' message and it crashes. Same if I try to edit the files from your mod. Could you educate me a bit more on file operations?

Did you happen to accidentally open the wrong file before that, or did you have the file open in notepad or word?

When you load the stores file, the listbox below that button will fill in with all the different spaceports found in the file.
Click one, and the categories list will fill in.
Click one of the categories, and then press load.
