Grognak's Mod Manager v1.7 (Updated March 6, 2013!)

[arriflex]

Is there a way to confirm the game was patched? I hit the patch button and the window closes, yet I do not have more scrap when starting the game.

Do you use a Mac?

Yes

I didn't install python, must have missed that. I'll try it in the morning. Thanks!

Yes

Ok. When you open GMM, after you install, the window will disappear. Even though that happens, all of the other windows remain. Do not exit out of terminal, and exit out of the window called tk. After a few moments, terminal will do a few things and after a while it will finally say "All mods successfully patched" or something like that. Then the mods should work.

Could someone tell me if it's possible to run this on Mac 10.5? If so I could really use a guide or a video or something. Thanks.

In theory it should work. Since you are using OS X 10.5, I assume that you are using a PowerPC Mac.

Get the python install from --> http://www.python.org/getit/
Get the flavor of --> Python 2.7.3 Mac OS X 32-bit i386/PPC Installer
The following videos should work for you as well.

You sir, are a genius and a gentleman.

I've had a problem. Whenever I install a mod, some of the Options Menu GUI disappears and some of the text becomes smaller and is unaligned. Could someone help me?

This should fix you right up, Vincam.

I had tried that and it didn't do anything. I deleted those and then used GMM. The files mentioned were made again and FTL stayed the same. One thing I did notice, though was that I tried deselecting all of the mods, hoping that uninstalling them would help, but all of the mods stayed installed when I launched FTL again.
EDIT: Another thing. It seems as if when I do install the mods, FTL downgrades (maybe because of what Splette said). Two things that hinted at this was that when O2 ran out in a room, the floor didn't have stripes through them, but also didn't have the orange walls around it. The other thing is that the "enemy powering FTL" text didn't appear when the enemy was powering it's FTL drive. Just letting you know to see if that helps.

If it helps you any more I use a Mac OS X 10.7.5 and I run FTL on Steam.

I've read through a lot of pages in this thread, but can't figure out how to make the mod manager work.

Windows 7 x64, using steam. I don't get any error messages, but mods aren't loading.

What am I missing? The Obsidian Cruiser should replace The Vortex. Aside from that no starting cash or new backgrounds.

You probably have one mod that is overwriting another. Try moving your mods around in the modorder.txt file. I noticed that all the mods I wanted to use were indeed getting installed, but some mods replaced the "splash" screen of the game, and made it seems like no mods were getting installed. It was not until I played the game that I noticed the mod changes.
