FTL Event Creator is a web-based graphical event creator for FTL.
The user builds an event chain using the interface and the event chain is converted to an XML code snippet.
I always thought that creating events in FTL was a hassle, and quite boring after staring at lines of XML for a while.
To make things easier, less confusing and less time-consuming, I decided to take a week out of my life to write FTL Event Creator.
It is written using HTML 5, CSS, and pure Javascript, along with Ariel Flesler's XMLWriter plugin.
Planned Features:
- Enemy Ship surrender/escape circumstances - WIP
- Loading Events - WIP
- Adding your event to an existing sector/event list - WIP
- Event/Text Lists - WIP
Loading and editing existing events is not currently an implemented feature. The Event Creator is not yet capable of reading XML.
Keep this in mind while making events: if you're making adjustments, leave the site open.

Instructions:
- Create your custom event chain.
- Generate the XML for it when finished.
- Copy the XML code. (Leave the page open if you need to make some changes later.)
- Paste the code into your mod's events.xml.append file. If your mod doesn't have an events.xml.append file, create one.
- Patch your mod using Slipstream Mod Manager and play.
FTL Event Creator can be found here, hosted on my personal site.
