Custom ship and running light

Post by Hyperion1 »

Hello, I have a problem with the ship customization, all is ok with size transparency and thruster trail, but coming to ship light something is wrong.

There are always a ship light glowing, even if I not put a yellow pixel (I tested to put one and two lights appear.

I want this light to be removed or in least to appear where I put a yellow pixel and only here.

Someone have a solution please?

Also side question, there is a way to change the light's color? It's currently red and big.

Can you provide a screenshot and also attach the image of the ship from the ship folder so I can look at what is happening?

Is the light a part of the ship picture and not a running light? One pixel yellow 255, 255, 0.

Sorry for the late answer I hoped to fix that by myself with the experience I got from working on my mod.
Also I had a problem to make link on the forum but it's now fixed.

My png file : Image
My screenshot : Image

It make the same problem with the ship alone (not in formation of 5), I removed the transparency for see what was wrong, there are some pixel slightly yellow but not 255.255.0 and they are not placed at the top of the ship like we see on the screenshot.
