lazloarcadia Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Hey guys I've running into an issue with the snap points in ship build mode. Specifically I'm in New Atlantis and I'm trying to attach the horizon weapon mount to port side of the Nova Breaking Engine Port on a Spacer Coyote B Class ship. Here is the rub, it works FINE with this exact setup on the Starboard side (see pics for reference) to which I've attached a missile launcher perfectly fine. When I try to attach this same weapon mount to the port side however it simply turns red and wont attach. From what I can tell both sides are symmetrically identical and there should be no reason for one side to allow the weapon mount, and the other not to. NOTE: this is not an issue with the missile launcher as I can't even get the weapon mount to attach, much less the missile launcher. Build mods I'm currently running: Better Ship Part Snaps Ship Build Tolerances Tweaks Ship Module Snap (SMSEX Updated for SF1.11.36) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazloarcadia Posted June 15 Author Share Posted June 15 I have been able to track this down to a mod conflict / incompatibility of some nature between Better Ship Part Snaps and SMSEX. Theoretically they should be completely compatible, but apparently this is not 100% true. I'm still trouble shooting it to see if I can learn more about it.

aurreth Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Drag the mounting bracket off the ship. Attach the weapons. Double click on the bracket so you select it plus the weapons. Drag the bracket to the position you want it. This is how I stack reactors and grav drives. Just use a fuel tank as your "grabber", then delete the fuel tank. Also, check your StarfieldCustom.ini, make sure you have [Spaceship] fShipBuilderModuleOverlapTolerance=-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazloarcadia Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 Thank you for the tip!! I did not in fact have the additional line in my .ini file. So that is most likely one problems which I've now corrected. Ultimately it seems like it was a limitation with the mods not properly flipping the part to have the additional snap points on both sides. The vanilla parts simply do not have the necessary snap points at all. In the end I had to use a different weapon mount and just say screw it. It did not have the look I would have liked, but the look I ended up with was pretty nice anyway so I just went with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurreth Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 I've noticed in the past that there is something wonky about those Nova side thruster thingies. There are different types of snap points, and I think maybe Better Ship Part Snaps messed up on one of them, either not changing the vanilla snap, or just using the wrong one. Sorry you couldn't get it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 I had a similar problem with a set of wings..... I think Nova Galactic, but, can't remember for sure. They have three snap points on 'em, one on the end, on in the middle, and one on the back side..... I was able to attach a weapon to the middle snap on the starboard side, but, the port side simply wouldn't take it. No idea why..... The logic of the snaps leaves a bit to be desired. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
