[Suggestion] Converting large ship to small ship

So since the projector block has been released I was wondering if there was a mod that would convert a large ship into a small ship.

Basically what I want to do is use the projector block as a display block for a "showroom" of all of the ships I've built.

I thought you could do this with the SEToolbox but I couldn't verify this while looking through the post for it.

I know I can just rebuild it out of small ship blocks, but I'm being kinda lazy here.

Any modders want to try and do this?

 

Have you tried messing around with the blueprint file? May be worth changing '<GridSizeEnum>Large</GridSizeEnum>' from 'Large' to 'Small' and seeing what that does. The file can be found in your AppData/Roaming/SpaceEngineers/Blueprints/Local/NameOfYourBlueprint/bp, open with text editor.

 

You'll want to delete any blocks that are not available on small ships first. If you are just using them for projections only, you might as well delete the whole interior.

 

Didn't even think about trying to change the blueprint file. I'll try that first.

Yea, I have empty shells of each ship luckily, just need to go delete the turrets.

 

Did this ever work?

 

Not sure if you are trying to go Mod free... but there is a mod that gives you all large blocks in small format in a single mod. Then you wouldn't need to change too much (except remove any doors) and adjust the block grid:

It works very well. I have been on a spree of building medium sized ships out of small blocks because I want them to be able to better fit other ships and hangars. This mod works well for that and I think would meet your need.
Please let everyone know if you got your original to work using the XML changes!
