Hey Darkfrost. I've got some experience developing for mac and I wouldn't mid making a mac port of this. If you'd like to send me your source code I'd love to give it a whack. PM me and we can sort something out.

Cheers,
jack

It's all built with the .NET framework and C#, but it should run fine with Mono on a mac

1. Open FTLEdit, then open up the options. You need to set up your paths to your data and resources folders.
It should be able to do this automatically - If you don't have ftl dat installed, click the download ftldat button to download the installer, then hit the extract files button. It should extract it all and configure the paths. If the cmd windows that pop up disappear instantly, it should atleast take a few seconds, something probably went wrong (Let me know if this happens)
It should save these options next time you load the program, but if it doesn't, let me know!
Click the load existing ship from the game folder button
Now doubleclick on a ship you want to load
(Or, click the create from scratch button)



It closes automatically. Thanks though :P

As in, the cmd boxes disappear straight away?

Weird. I'll have to take a look into that again, it was working at one point :(

EDIT: Yup. Had a trailing slash on it didn't like, whoops! New version uploaded, same url. Auto extract and augment exporting are fixed now

First off, this is just amazing. Thank you for doing this. Second, I'm having trouble editing the base.. I have just been opening it in paint and changing some little things around.. Then I save it and load the base into the ship editor just fine. But when I try to use it in-game, it is just a huge black box with all the rooms inside :O. I'm a complete noob at this sort of thing and I barely got the ship editor working. Any advice? Thanks again!

I am still having issues where there is a transparent box behind the ship. Also when I cloak, the ship graphic disappears. here is some screenshots.

Hm... keep getting "unhandled exception" errors when trying to export the .XML of a "from scratch" build. Also, doesn't seem to load any of the default weapons or drones to pick from, despite having the paths set correctly in options. Still, building the room layout is SO much faster this way than editing each by hand, and the power settings for systems are a godsend.
