Limitless Crew Patch [1.6.9 only] (outdated)

[ih8ih8sn0w]

This is a simple xdelta patch which disables the check for if you have too many crew members.

NOTE: This only works with the Steam build of 1.6.9. Hyperspace also implements this patch much better and provides a means to downgrade.

You will need to use an xdelta3 patcher to apply the patch to ftl.exe (I have only tested the steam version of the game, and I don't really have the means to see if other releases of the game will work. If you have other versions and confirm it is not working, please DM me and I can try to walk you through finding what needs to be patched)

I recommend using https://github.com/jmacd/xdelta-gpl/releases since I cannot find anything simpler.
Place the patcher and xdelta in the same folder as your FTL directory, and run this command in command prompt:

Code: Select all

xdelta3.exe -d -s FTLGame.exe limitless-crew.xdelta3 FTLGame-limitless-crew.exe

or this in powershell:

Code: Select all

./xdelta3.exe -d -s FTLGame.exe limitless-crew.xdelta3 FTLGame-limitless-crew.exe

This will make a copy of the exe with the patch applied. You can just replace the base exe, but I recommend you back that up first if you don't want to use steam repair

Known issues and bugs:

• I had the game crash when out of fuel and the fleet caught up to me. Relaunching the game put me prior to my "wait" click and I was able to "continue" on.
• If you look at the dismiss crew tab of your ship, it won't let you click accept until you clear all but 8 crew. You can just hit escape to get out of this window.
• Various UI gore because no one intended for this many crew members to be present (the crew list on the left of your HUD overflows to the bottom of the screen, you can only see 9 crew members on the dismiss crew tab, etc.)

I have this on GoG, having issues with getting the command prompt line to work, also for some reason can't DM you so have to post here

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a GoG copy of the game right now, however I might be able to help figure out what needs to be done through discord (username: ih8ih8sn0w\:blue_heart:
#9183 you will need to get the blue heart emoji elsewhere unfortunately). Alternatively, I will most likely include max crew manipulation in the next hyperspace release.

Hello! I stumbled upon this mod and was very excited to install it, but as I tried installing, it never worked. I don't know what I might be doing wrong or anything. The xdelta3.exe only pops up for a split second, and when I type the code in either PowerShell or Command Prompt, it reads that xdelta3.exe exists neither internally nor externally. I apologise for bringing this up seemingly a year after the original post and any comments, but I'm just completely bamboozled at how to even work this.

P.S. If anyone needs to contact me via direct messaging, my Discord handle is Masakari#1137.
