erm, so yeah. I get the flash-and-gone error on the CMD window plus something new
despite the fact that I have extracted the files apparently, it insists it has no idea where
C:\program files(86x)\GOG.com\Faster Than Light\data\\blueprints.xml is.
Why is there a double slash? Also how do I freaking find this file? XP

You'll need to find an uncompressed version of data.dat and resources.dat. If you've used GMM there should be ones in your "resources" directory called "data.dat-unpacked". Point FTLEdit at that directory.

Every time I export a ship as a .ftl file, the ship loads right, and everything works, exept that the rooms get messed up. Should I not add extra doors? Is it because I put more than 4 crew members? Is it the programs fault? Did I not install correctly?
*Edit*
Nevermind, I can fix the issue. (Still don't know what causes it though.)
And is there a way to change the starting power you have?

Change your .ftl file into a .zip, open it, and go into the data folder. From there look for "blueprints.xml.append", open it, look for "maxPower Amount" and just change that number to however much starting power you want.

Keep in mind that you still need to manually create a <shipname>.xml file; the top line has a lot to do with where the ship image shows up. (Location in <shipname>.xml moves the ship image TL point, and location in <shipname>.txt moves the layout relative to that - but this is IIRC, I may have them reversed) If you're only editing the location of the layout via <shipname>.txt thru FTL SE, then the results might not make as much sense.

BUG: Doesn't exit when closing window or pressing ALT+F4 (starting window).
Also "create from scratch" button throws an unhandled exception if can't find blueprints.xml.
