Note from Void_Time_Gaming:
I am not new to SE or editing SBC files but I am fairly green to Modeling. Stick with it and as I learn more about modeling and how SE applies textures things will shape up.

Ah. I didn't realize that is how they did it. Is there any way to take advantage of the no collision damage mechanic they implemented with stone? I haven't looked at the code or know if you can make that reference between the different objects / ?object types?. It is C++ right?

@ SpectreOne
The original mod used space balls for rails to work. After Keen changed how space balls work way back it broke the mechanics on how the rails slide without hanging or taking damage. I have a semi working test that I have been working on reliability of use.

I wish you luck in remaking this mod. If I may ask, what are you having difficulties with?

What i was trying to say, was that using "low_profile_loader_small_ship" as sliding door frame in station. The door made by small blast blocks has "small_ship_slide" at both sides. Door made like this are overlappng the door frame insert hole, so is unable o fit them to the door frame.

I have been toying with making this work once again but the outlook is grim in its current build. If I get it working it will be an entire new MOD.
Rusted Droid 26 Jun, 2019 @ 11:21pm 
Any plan making the "small_ship_slide" collision / hit box little smaller hight so it will fit inside "low_profile_loader_small_ship" rail? Example: I make simple up/down sliding door made by small_ship_blast_blocks + 2x small_ship_slide at both sides, then i am unable to fit them inside "low_profile_loader_small_ship" in 2_block_large_ship space that is used as door frame.
