Ship load command not working with spaces.

[Trollerbobman]

Ever since Schema added the ability to add spaces in ship names, there has been a slight issue overlooked by almost everyone. When trying to load in a ship with spaces in the blueprint name the command will not work and it will not load the ship.

For Example, lets take Lancakes new ship.
The blueprint name is "Battle Barge Final", because it has spaces in the name the command /load Battle Barge Final (name of ship) will not work because it is an invalid parameter count (There should only be two words after /load (Example, /load Battle_Barge_Final Name_of_ship), but because of the spaces in the ship name it has been bumped up to four).

This makes it impossible to spawn in ships that cost over 2.1 billion credits and have spaces in their name. I would also like to see other commands that have the ability to spawn ships updated to support ships/stations with spaces in their names.

Put the name in quotes.

Put the name in quotes.

Already tried, does not seem to work on my end.

Weird. Pretty sure that should work. I know I've successfully spawned in ships that way.

The command reads a space as separation of the variables. So if you quote your ship names with these> " <All should be alright.

Command: /load (NameInCatalog) (NameYouWantYourShipToHave)
Example: /load "Super Awesome Shippe" "Very Awesome Shippe"

Sometimes people mess up ' and ", which may be why yours was not working.

EDIT: OHH, you might've gotten the amount of parameters wrong. The basic /load command has 2;
One for designating which ship to take from the catalog, and the other to name the ship. Both of these must be quoted in the case they have spaces.

I used both " and ', neither worked.

Read the edit :p

Yes, I realize that you can only use 2 parameters, I already talked about that in the OP

I meant to say, the parameters each have their separate function. You need them both :p
So if you have a minimum of 2 parameters, and a maximum of 2, use quotation marks to make the game recognize a group of words as 1 parameter.
Example: /load "Battle Barge Final" "Space Doughnut"

 

[Trollerbobman]

Example: /load "Battle Barge Final" "Space Doughnut"

That is what I tried, and what I meant when I said "I already tried both " and ' "

Uhh, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

The command there spawned a ship in perfectly fine for me.

I have to agree with Trollerbobman here. Although.. where it would not accept the command before, it accepts it now.. only.. the game hesitates as if something has been changed.. but.. still No ship. I also tried the spawn entity command.. same thing. As a Modeler I need to see other peeps designs.. it is how we as designers learn new ideas. This problem plagues me.

I am new to posting but not a noob to Starmade. I have been modelling ships behind the scenes for some time now. I decided to step up my game. This is an awesome game that I want to be a part of, as such.. I will do that.

/load "nice cool ship" "Cool Ship"

It accepts the command, but it just does not spawn the ship.

OK! ...
Please take a look here http://bugs.star-made.org/projects/starmade-game/wiki/Predictable_game_state
and install a fresh version of the game somewhere new.
import your blueprint and run the game with the default settings, try the /load in SP and if it doesnt work please open a bug ticket on the Tracker
see here http://starmadedock.net/threads/how-to-report-a-bug.459/
and provide the Log.0 file from your log folder and the blueprint there and discribe the problem.

Thank you

Blueprints loading is not forwards compatible. Means that if you try to load a blueprint that was created with a newer version (like a dev version), you sometimes won't be able to load it in older versions. I believe the command will not give you an error message if that happens—however, the reason will be stated in the log files.

That may be what is causing it, I will look into it, but maybe the problem has been fixed in the latest update (0.17), So I will try and see if it works

der_scheme is totaly right and i am an idiot for having not seen that you talked about Lancakes blueprint!
That should load well in 0.17 now.
There even was a bug report that explains that forward compatibility will not be intended.

Awesome ship by Lancake by the way!
