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

[All4n]

Ok...to basically summarize the entire problem together;

I have no idea WHAT to type into the terminal to unzip or install it, I have no idea HOW to put easygui_version0.96.tar into the terminal no matter what I type it as, and finally, I have absolutely no idea what a tarball is...but i assume it means .zip or .tar or stuff like that.

Can you just....really, REALLY specifically tell me what to type/do?

Hmm if you can wait, I'll make a Mac App from Grognak's scripts. Should not take long, I just need my Mac and not my Windows to do this.

Grognak do you accept some changes to the main.py? That would be the best way to determine platform, I need this to get some paths working correctly. And if would be best if merged so I don't have to update my script all the time.

I'll use py2app for this, like the one you might have used py2exe

Handling tar files from the command-line:

Code: Select all

# To list the contents:
tar -tvf filename.tar

# To extract the contents:
tar -xvf filename.tar

Note that tar files are often compressed (tar.gz, tgz, and similar filename extensions). In those cases you command line will have to be slightly different.

Like most Unix commands, tar does not care much about filename extensions by the way. It will just try to open whatever filename you give it, and complain if it does not understand the format.

...

also its the ubuntu version not the steam

Looks like you're trying to run the exe via wine or something? Check the /src/ directory and it's readme.

how do i run it trough python

I've tried to download your manager, but I've hit a snag.
BTW: Windows/ XP/ SP3.

I've gotten the manager downloaded. I've put it into the file like your readme said to. I've put the .ftl into the mods folder, and I have ensured that data.DAT and resources.dat are NOT read only.

Yet no matter how many times I do this, the game will refuse to launch afterwards. I won't even get to the loading screen, and the game shows up as "Not Responsive" in task manager.

Any ideas on what's going on?

Thanks All4n. I'd love to do it myself but I don't think it's possible to make a Mac binary on Windows.

Navigate to it in your terminal and use: python main.py I believe.

That's odd. Have you tried repatching with no mods selected? With only the included mod selected?

[Gundrium]

Yes.

Also of note:
When I try to use your Manager, I encounter an issue. Afterwards, I need to either re install 1. FTL, or 2. .NET framework. I also have problems with an error code. I noticed that your Mod compiler was having some sort of DOS error when it tried to activate the mods. through the use of 1000 hours on Paint and my 'Prnt Scrn' button, I found it showed something about needing an argument length of 8? Any ideas?

You have to reinstall the .Net framework?? That's the first I've heard of that!

Try deleting the /resources/ folder and verifying your game cache.

Steam, huh? Funny. I'm a GOG user. That was no help whatsoever.

[Grognak]

Redownload the /resources/ folder from GoG then.
