If you'd like help, more details would be very helpful. The exact program/version you're using, the OS you're using, any error messages you may see/get, and a more detailed description what exact changes you're trying to make.

From that application's page, it would seem as though there are outstanding issues. I'd recommend first trying this editor and see if you have similar issues. You can look in the blueprints.xml.append that was generated and see if you can find the error in the XML, but in the meantime, it might be easier to redo it with an editor that more people have had luck getting working.

Ah, sorry to hear that. I'd recommend posting a comment in the thread of whichever ship editor you used - I've never personally used them, so I'm unable to help, and from your thread's title, it's not immediately obvious that it's a ship builder bug, rather than a generic help question.

So far I've got http://i.imgur.com/Icg5P.png
Which should, in theory work, but neither the .xml and .txt with the image files compressed to a .ftl or the automatically packaged FTL work.

Gotcha. My guess is that it is a ship editor bug, so at a minimum, the creator would probably like to know what the error you found was, so they can fix it :P

The crazy part is that I just got it working, only now it just won't let me attach weapons, lovely. :|

If you just want to get your ship working, you can post the actual generated XML/TXT in code tags to the forums, and someone may be able to help with that.
