[Spoiler] FTL Profile/SavedGame Editor v27 (2018-01-12)

[Vhati]

Works now thanks alot

What happened?
Did you have an extra one of those dirs that was empty, and delete it?

I can't open it. I have the most recent Java and nothing's happening. Is there a fix for this?

Since you're unfamiliar with using a prompt, I've made this tool (zipped exe), which searches for Java, and it generates a script that launches the editor and should produce a log.

Put "FTLEditor_LauncherGen_v1.exe" wherever your jar is, and double-click the exe.
Then double-click the generated script, "FTLEditor_Emergency.bat".
Then let me know what's inside "emergency_log.txt".

It said it couldn't find Java and I have it installed. I even tried re-installing it and NOTHING HAPPENEd. Oracle's full of freaking idiots.

Ok quick question, how exactly do I modify the saved game values directly? I want to modify my fuel in a saved game, I've dumped the save game data from FLT into a notepad, made the changes, I'm just lost on how to actually get it to come back into the game?

There's nothing more I can do for you then.

"Dump" is for informational purposes only.
Under the "Player Ship" tab, at the bottom, there's a "General" button.

Click that to edit the ship's name, hull, fuel, drone parts, missiles, and scrap.
Apply changes, then click "save" at the top, replace continue.sav, and play the game.

Ah I see, must be going blind in my old age. Thanks a lot.

v12 Bug Warning:
The editor will crash as it writes a saved game in which a store had been visited that sector.
When that happens, the saved game will be corrupted.

This will be fixed in the next release.

Other situations are unaffected by this bug.

.
v13 has been released:
The aforementioned visited-a-store corruption bug is fixed.
Added SectorMap editing: Store, Quest, and Beacon (partial).
Added automated finding of data.dat on Linux-Steam, and possibly OSX.

If that fails, OSX users should be able to select FTL.app now without messing with aliasing or config file editing.

If someone were to edit the config file, it now stores the path to the resources folder.

Code: Select all

ftlDatsPath=E\:\\Games\\FasterThanLight\\resources

(previously ftlPath, the install dir of the game itself)

Is there no way to modify a ship's cargo, currently, or am I just missing something obvious?

Awesome work on the editor, BTW. One of the best I've seen, for this or any other game.

Oops. I'll add that in the next release.
I procrastinated, rationalizing that cargo was redundant when you can equip everything, but I forgot about stockpiling alternate items.

And your feedback made it a little better.
