I get this error whenever I try to place an airship:
Any ideas?
I got a couple of errors like that at first. Glimmar's post a bit back detailed how he does it and it worked perfectly.
New MC download (delete the bin folder)
Texture pack install with the patcher (remember to select the pack after all is said and done in the in game selector)
BL/BG (for me...this is the only mod I use cause I reinstall too much)
ModLoader (follow the instructions on this readme!!)
Steamboat png (gui folder of the minecraft.jar)
Airship png (item folder of the minecraft jar)
Then the class files for the mod (main directory for all class files)
Run MC and fly around (provided you built the airship)
Your error appears to me that it can't find either the airship in the items folder, the steam boat in the GUI folder, or that the mod wasn't installed correctly (which happened to me a lot :biggrin.gif:)
On the subject of getting it to work, Gestankfaust lists it all perfectly above, however, just to make it clear at the stage you need to install the 'paddlesteamer' mod, use this version kindly put together by zedas...this includes MaudDib's original code, but replaced by pchan3's patched class files (If I am wrong about this, my apologies for adding to the confusion):

Download is repackaged to newest version to ease confusion. Glimmar's 32x32 textures included as option.
Looks amazing but i am scared to install this mod for the following reasons:
If i install the airship mod, start a new game/previous save, make an airship and play around with it, then later uninstall the airship mod, will i be unable to play that saved game?
Please if anyone can answer this concern and ease my worry, ill give you lots o'
I'm as cautious as you, Southpaw, I've only ever worked on one world since June of 2010, so you can imagine it's very precious to me now. Make sure to back up your save files, but if you follow Gestankfaust's succinct advice above you will be fine.
I've found pchan3's mod to be very stable, even at this early stage, that hasn't broken any of my saves and I've been swapping my 'Glimmar's World' save back and forth between single play and a bukkit server without mishap. As you can see from the pics above, I've also been swapping various texture skins in and out of the 'item' folder without any problem (obviously don't try to do this with Minecraft running!).
Previously I'd been using MaudDib's 'paddlesteamer' mod before being rendered unusable by the 1.2_02 update, and after updating Minecraft to use all Notch's lovely extra's my save file was unaffected by having used the paddlesteamer mod...and still is. I see no reason for the airship to be different, but it's always sensible to back up any precious saves. :smile.gif:

Can you please do the recipe sooner than later and have a good icon not just a fake one? Only reason im not using this mod. Could you also make it so Space moves it up and shift moves it down.
I'm working on an icon of the airship today, OmegaCraft, but just bear in mind pchan3 has worked incredibly fast on this mod and has released it early to give folks a chance to try out it's awesomness, which is a privelege. Everyone goes as fast as they can to get things right...'rush' and you risk all sorts of problems down the line. Don't let the lack of a little icon stop you being amongst the first to enjoy a great sensation of flight.
I like your 'space' and 'shift' key suggestion. :smile.gif:
Install ModLoader
(make sure MetaInf is deleted)
Install my mod. (make sure you have a texture copied into aswell)
makesure both steamboat.png and airship.png are in their correct places.
this doesn't require steamboat. just its icon. :|
if it doesn't work. your Minecraft.jar is currupt(from mods that patch files instead of replacing etc). start again from scratch. thats the only way i can think of getting it to work.
at some stage i will make a properties file. so you can change the E/C keys.
for now i got to scrounge some cash so i can have my own website (i have a domain just need hosting).
(Im broke atm, so it might take me a while. trying to find a part-time job.)
need about $90 US.
I'll try it again but all I had was glimmar's steampunk and no mods but it seems to black screen periodically with most of my mods but idk it was clean, I'm gonna try again. So let me recap:
1 put in modloader into minecraft.jar
2.delete metainf
3.rename ballon I want to airship.png
4.put airship and steamboat.png into items
5.put class files into minecraft.jar
I'm bad with this kind of stuff so sorry for the trouble
GRRRRRRR I sterilized my .minecraft but it DOES NOT WORK I DID EVERYTHING BUT IT DOES NOT WORK GRRRRR.
I guess it means I can use my other mods safely now =D
Check out this cave I discovered while flying around. Can you say "hangar". It's like I was meant to use an airship mod.
NO! Don't do it! That's not called 'Creeper Mountain' for nothing, mate. You land there and you land in the maws of death itself! Can't you see the creeper mouth leering at you invitingly? Land...and you will be dragged down to creeper hell below.
Use this specially designed airship. Everyone knows that creepers hate the sight of ghasts:

Pchan3, all I can say is you win the internetz! Thank you so much for this awesome mod.
It's a double edged sword for me though, but thats only because I had grown very much attached to my
minecart railway which is a bit obselete now with the airship.
Thanks so much for all your efforts and I hope you are able to continue your great work here for a long time to come.
Have some :Diamond:'s
Oh yea, here check this out too.
Ive already began to incorporate docking stations to my buildings.
Your vid is epicness and I can't believe your landing pad is exactly the same dimension, same material with the same glass lip (to stop the ship sliding away) as I started putting in at the four entrances to my Grand Terminus Railway!
I know what you mean about the railway though. Although I would still see it as an automatic mass material transport system. But your vid beautifully shows how awesome the sense of exploration you get flying over the trees and between rocky canyons!

Made a new icon with Glimmars textures
That's beautiful, mate! Many thanks indeed!
[edit] Is there anyway you could do one for MaudDib's paddlesteamer too? They would make a nice vehicle pair together. :smile.gif:
I don't know whether or not it's intended, but I feel like the engines are positioned backwards. Wouldn't it make more sense to have them facing backwards from where the airship moves?

the engines will be facing backwards in the next (inventory&fuel) release.
