I feel like I'm in the same position as Artamba. I would love to learn to write events for FTL as well as correct any typos I see. Btw. since I've been planning on creating my own events (some of which will require CE content), I've begun writing them down on paper. Already have 28 new and unique events mapped out, no typos. Now I just need to convert them into proper .ftl files and we're all good to go. If my events don't make it into CE then I understand. I'll just make it my own mini-modpack. Currently planning on making 100 new lore-friendly events :roll:


Oooh, dude. Can you send me a photo of your writings? I'd love to see :D

I guess, but my handwriting is ugly as f**k and a lot of the events are several pages long :D

If you really want spoilers I'll gladly PM or email you some photos once I'm back home (on vacation right now)

That would be shocking, right?! :o English is indeed not my native language. But I recommend you check the CE opening post. There is a github link there, leading to a repository where everyone can correct types or grammar for CE. ;)

Oh and as for event suggestions, you can post them here: viewtopic.php?t=16726
Submitting them in FTL compatible xml format would go a long way if you want to increase the chance of them getting integrated. They should also match vanilla style in terms of choice level depth, individual text length and complexity. Meaning they should generally have few choice levels, short and efficient individual texts and should not be overly complex.

Sorry for the double post, for whatever reason "you can not delep posts in this forum".

I thought that might be the case. I'll keep that in mind.

Hey now, I wasn't being abrasive! Only all-understanding n such

I didn't see the Github thing here! I'll check it out. How does it work? Do you check and approve/disapprove of changes every so often and patch it into the main game periodically? What's the deal?

Edit: I think I understand. When people alter a file, it separates it from the main hub and has no affect on it unless a master accepts their request to implement?

Pretty much, yes. It's a distributed revision control system that allows us to review changes made by contributers before they are implemented into the actual mod. It's very streamlined and efficient, if it works. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29 )

I'll get notified whenever someone commits a set of changes and I'll review them shortly after. The changes will then end up in the next CE update. Should enough corrections accumulate I might as well roll out a new version just because of that.

So sleeper, you told me to post on that suggestion-thread. But how do I do this? Do I send each event separately or in like packages of 10 or all in one massive post? Because trust me, if I actually get 100 events done... or more... ;)

Code: Select all

The code tag can display a lot of text in compressed form, might be helpful there. Looking forward to it.

Okay,thanks! But I'm afraid they'll most likely be sent without the code actually pre-written, since I don't really know how that works (meaning lots and lots of bugs and errors).
