A little help please

[Taron Storm]

I am modding a Mule dropship for use in the game.  MM says it has a number string error.  Comparing to other DS that have vehicle bays, I typed it in correctly.  What am I missing?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

 Dropships are not fully implemented in Meklab, as far as I know. So pretty sure that is the cause of your issues. But will let the more experienced folks and such make the final call on that.

Well... I was gonna try and help you, but I'm not gonna waste my time trying to recreate from that nasty pdf. Please just copy/paste the contents of the blk file here inside of code tags.

Umm, they're not at all. He has to be hand modifying the file.

 See, best to let the experts answer some questions. Never tried to mod one myself. Actually never even messed too much with the Lab part. Might need to try it before answering a question for someone.

Thank you Hammer.

When I opened the blk file in notepad, the lines were not spaced out.  It only went to that format when I printed it as a pdf.

Made the correction and tested it.  Works good.  Thanks again.

Provided the data inside is readable yeah.

Readable, and either passes validation or you have allow invalid units option on

thanks   never knew I could create new platforms.....warships or charging stations like that

Faster to use an existing design as a template, then craft your monstrosity in HM:Aero before altering the blk by hand. Much faster than pen n paper. Not hard to do but tedious.
