[SHIP]Tsunami Class Battlecruiser (Ion Battlecruiser)

@StylesRJ "Smart bombs"? Not small bombs?

Also, since this'll be at the top the fifth page: if you downloaded the ship and you're wondering "hey, why doesn't this mod work?" That's because it was made pre-Advanced Edition. You'll want to download this version instead.

Yeah, for some reason I keep saying Smart Bomb instead of Small. Dunno why...

I've been experiencing quite a few issues with the ship simply crashing the game when jumping to a random beacon in the first sector. I'm running no other mods aside from the Tsunami ship mod.

Does anybody have any ideas as to what could be the cause?

Okay, I know this particular thread ain't been updated in like....forever, but I managed to solve the beam problem.

I went ahead and compared it with other mods that deal with artillery beams, and after some trial, error, and a few failed spot checks I noticed something. There was a coding error.

Apparently, the <color> section that changed the color of the beam was never closed with a </color>. I did that, on the off chance it might work, and low and behold...it did.

Here is a link to the fixed save.

If you don't feel safe considering I'm a new guy and this is my first ever post, I don't blame you. Here's the literal fixed bit of code. You can copy/paste it over the original in the Blueprints file within the .ftl file.

Edit: Thanks to some help from looking at porcu93 Federation's Improved Artilleries and Cruisers ( https://subsetgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36467 ), I was able to solve the restored 5th level upgrade for the Ion Beam. As I have no idea what icon was used to make the hourglass to show time for the original four upgrades, I can't add it to my text added to fill in the missing text.

Side note, if porcus93 wants me to take this down because I used the systemui icon for artillery charge 5 to keep it from coming up with a visiual error, I will.

Keep the post up, no need to remove it.

Oh damn, hey! Thanks for letting me use that, and thanks for the welcome! I doubt I'll do much, but I'm always willing to fiddle around with good mods and see if I can fix them if they get borked. Glad to be here, and glad to make this work again!
