Mechmon99, are you playing on Windows, Mac, or Linux?

Maybe it is just that the directory D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FTL Faster Than Light\mods does not exist? If not, try to create the "mods" directory inside the "FTL Faster Than Light" directory, and then re-run GMM.

damn, I copied everything from the GMM folder to the FTL folder but I must have forgot about the mods folder :oops: ... everything's sorted now, thanks!

Hey, try the following steps:

1) Navigate to your modman.exe folder.
2) Hold down shift and right click on a blank area. Choose "Open command window here".
3) Type in modman.exe and press your Enter key. Tell me what error (if any) it shows in console.

@Mechmon: modman.exe must be in the same folder as ftlgame.exe. If you use steam, try C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\FTL Faster Than Light\

Right ok i think i got it now, except now when it launches the little window with black background and white text pops up and then closes within seconds, so is it auto closing for me too?

Please make sure you're copying the entire contents of GMM over (including the .ini, mods folder, etc) :)

Could someone PLEASE, PLEASE, make a video of how to install this on mac.
There are a few post about how to do it but none of them make sence to me.
I would be so thankful if someone would make a video about how to do it.

Thanks, Benjamin
