    Having problems making new ships show up in the build manager, advice?

    Problem has been solved, it was user error, wrong build family etc.


    I have searched through the forums and followed the tutorials to the best of my ability, but i cant figure out what it is im doing wrong here.

    I do know that the ship i created works fine, as when i put it in the startingfleets lua for the HGN, it DOES hyperspace in at the beginning of the match, it just wont show up under the build manager.

    I have uploaded my .big file here: mediafire .com/?hdrys8c2w1kjby8

    It would be much appreciated if somebody could download it and take a look, tell me what i screwed up.

    Also these are the last three entrys in my Build.lua for the HGN


    {
    Type = Ship,
    ThingToBuild = "Hgn_ECMProbe",
    RequiredResearch = "ECMProbe",
    RequiredShipSubSystems = "",
    DisplayPriority = 160,
    DisplayedName = "$7074",
    Description = "$7075", },
    {
    Type = Ship,
    ThingToBuild = "Hgn_Shipyard_SPG",
    RequiredResearch = "",
    RequiredShipSubSystems = "CapShipProduction",
    DisplayPriority = 117,
    DisplayedName = "$7058",
    Description = "$7059", },
    {
    Type = Ship,
    ThingToBuild = "Hgn_Cruiser",
    RequiredResearch = "",
    RequiredShipSubSystems = "",
    DisplayPriority = 156,
    DisplayedName = "Cruiser",
    Description = "<b>Description:</b> Backbone of the Hiigaraan Fleet \n\n<b>Prerequisites:</b> None.", },
    }

    Thats a bit vague mate, what exactly am i looking for in the ship file?

    Also most of the time that something is not entered in the ship file correctly, the game simply crashes upon loading a level, however not only can i load a level, i can use the ship i am trying to add if i make it apart of the starting fleet.

    i meant that because did you change anything okay take a look at this for example. This is the ship file from the Heavy Cruiser.

    Now if you made a new build family you need to include that in the Can build ships ability of whatever ship you want to build it, take this for example.

    OK, i can be incredibly dumb sometimes, but thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction Leviathan.

    Turned out that i had the ship in the vgr_supercap build family.......
