FTL Captain's Edition 1.308/Inf 1.301b/EL 1.308

Is there any way to find out the hidden stats of the items in CE. Specifically drones, CE added a bunch of new drones, but I can't find any details on them past the snipet in game. I was looking for how fast they attack, so I could compare the various drones to each other.

I doubt this is possible, but is there a way to see what the enemies weapons do when we hover over them?

You could read through their blueprints in the mod file. Just unpack the mod file with an archive manager (.ftl is just a renamed .zip file.) The drone blueprints are stored in blueprints.xml.append.

That is indeed impossible. But if you start memorizing weapon designs from what you get and read through anything available in shops then you will eventually get a good grasp what which kind of weapons does. Just like in vanilla originally.

First of all, awesome work with the mod, I'm enjoying it a lot so far.
However, I just encountered a game crash bug that ended my first run (on easy mode). Whenever I jump to a specific beacon the game will crash. Unfortunately, I can't avoid that since the beacon is the only one connected to the exit.
Edit: Found a workaround, had to jump around long enough for the rebel fleet to get to that beacon.

Here are the details requested in the OP:
Sector name is Contested Deep Space, Nebula event with a possible ship detected.

I also have the ae_prof.sav and continue.sav where the bug occurs. Here are zippyshare-links to them (please let me know if I should use some other site for that or e-mail them directly to someone):

I think that's the most thorough report for a single bug I've ever seen on this thread. EVER. Good job. Glad you got pas that beacon.

[Sleeper Service]

Thanks for the detailed report, I think I got that one.

Update 1.21 is here, bringing some new guns and completely overhauled ship graphics for the AIs. The sentient Avatars should even more feel like a fully fleshed out faction now. Encountering their ships will still be somewhat rare, as they can only be found in AI controlled sectors right now. You still see more of them then, let's say, crystal ships of course. The AI faction also has been slightly reworked in terms of what tactics, weapons and augments they use and how their ships are structured.

EL is also settling in. With most prefixes working correctly now and the more odd stuff purged we kind of passed the beta stage with that. But please continue to report if you find prefixes that appear odd or broken to you on certain weapons. Rannl took the time to generate visual variants for projectiles, so the projectiles will now also change if weapons or drones have certain prefixes. And there is a bunch of all new prefixes as well. Note that the texture pack and the Non-El Enemy Loadouts Addon also had to be updated to accommodate all these changes.

Further a lot of small bugs have been fixed. Thanks once more for all your but bug reports.

Enjoy!

So I seem to have memory problem when loading endless loot texture pack,
the thing is without the texture pack I seem to have around 500MB of available memory,
and the texture pack is only 100MB, so how does it work i don't honestly know.

Anyways, is there any way to get older endless loot plugin without the texture pack requirement?
I can't use it like this

and stdout

Code: Select all

...
Audio Initialized!
Could not allocate enough memory for the image data.
Could not allocate enough memory for the image data.

Allowing FTL to use more memory might fix that. You can google how that works.

Well that could help if I had more Because apparently it uses it all. Any chance of previous version?

[Sleeper Service]

I'm not sure if the problem really is about how much you physically have, I think its more about how much virtual memory is available to FTL. But I'm not an expert on this. Older versions of EL won't really work well with the current CE release. Sorry. There might be a version of EL without the visual variants at some point in the future.
