1. Lack of color in infos in AI sector (Intended?):

2. Invisible weapon:

3. This weapon (with some prefix) had wrong positioning over my ship's rooms (Only one blowed up over my room, but not in the center). Other mines just flew over ship without notification about missing, so they were supposed to hit, but they didn't.

4. Order to change:

5. Two things about Slug A ship:
1) Current starting configuration has no Anti-Bio Beam which makes third challenge of slug ship (nearly) impossible to complete. I haven't unlocked the rest of slug ship versions yet (I stared from zero), but as far as I remember this kind of weapon was only on A version. The only solution to this is play on vanilla versions on ship, unlock achievement and go back to modded versions.
2) With this configuration ships without crew are unbeatable, which is bad I think.

Minelayers are supposed to have a dummy weapon that drops annoying mines on your ship to give the impression you're going through a minefield.

Hey folks, sweet game, AWESOME mods!

Got a question though...
I've been playing for a while like this, but id like to figure out what it is that is causing it and fix it. My weapons, drones, and missiles/projectiles don't USUALLY display. Sometimes they do. I usually can see the weapon-charge animation graphic for instance, but not the weapon body. weird, right?
I thought maybe I was getting bad downloads, but several re installs later and I'm still getting similar results. I moved around the load order and its still happening (I'm still trying load order, but I'm to the point of doing things i KNOW cause problems, like texture packs after their mods just to see how it affects it). Currently I'm generating this as a validate file (I know some of this doesn't matter really....I try to read prior posts):

FTL itself can tolerate lots of XML typos and still run. But malformed XML may break tools that do proper parsing, and it hinders the development of new tools.

Since v1.2, Slipstream will try to parse XML while patching: first strictly, then failing over to a sloppy parser. The sloppy parser will tolerate similar errors, at the risk of unforseen behavior, so satisfying the strict parser is advised.

What am I doing wrong?
OR
Do we have hashes for mods?

Sorry for that, this might indeed be caused by the mod being faulty itself. Try the new version.

CE Update 1.282
- Fixed bad ghost event eventList
- Corrected choice sorting in s couple events
- Some minor fixes

Thanks for the feedback ahmedo!

That's out of my control, not sure what is causing that in the first place.

If I remember correctly, since AE I can't hide those dummy guns off screen anymore (causing crashes). I wish I could solve that more elegantly, but unfortunately that's not possible right now.

True, I somewhat expect people to realize that they can switch CE loadouts off by using the submod. As far as I can tell the only way to make that achievement available is giving the ship the exact vanilla weapon, which somewhat defeats the purpose of CE showcase loadouts.

ahmedoo wrote:With this configuration ships without crew are unbeatable, which is bad I think.

In my opinion, that's largely offset by the economy bost all the Slug ships get through breaking truce.

ahmedoo wrote:I had two beams of the same type: one with fully positive prefix, and one with mixed one. Shouldn't one with mixed be cheaper from the other one? In my game both costed 25 scrap:

Yeah, I rated "Assault" as somewhat on the positive end of the mixed prefixes and "Penetrating" on the weaker side of positive, that's why their prices are similar. The prefix capitalisation is only a rough orientation, most of that is subjective and situational anyway.

ahmedoo wrote:I played with Zoltan A cruiser and quickly bought Internal Generator for my offensive augment. There was only one thing a bit frustrating. When I used it (both augment and internal gen) I had unpowered some of the rooms in my ship and three bars of energy still were in my reactor ready to use. My question is: is it possible to change the order of choosing option from:

I'm not entirely sure whether this is at all possible with the event structure and in any case it would require a complete rewrite of the combat aug events, basically every single combat event in the game. I totally agree that the sugested structure would be more convenience, but it probably won't happen,

Wow. This is the first proper run I've done with EL and the endless mode.

I can one-shot almost ANYTHING at this point, I've just got a little more grinding to do

Posted: **Fri Mar 11, 2016 7:59 pm**

I just got Shrapnel Swarm Missle drone and when i used it it happened to be broken. One more prefix issue to fix :]

EDIT:
1. Second issue with Shrapnel prefix:

http://zapodaj.net/a89dab60f02ad.png.html

Actual prefix is shredder (should be SHRE), but the name of drone is shrapnel (Shra).

2. Square brackets:

3. Wrong position of the console in engine room:

I hope someone will answer... I'm new to modding, and I've been trying to get this to work for 4 days now. I've read everything on the first page, and tried the solutions. I've re-ordered the mods on the SMM list, I've re-downloaded FTL and SMM several times. I can get it to launch with the weird CE image and it never progresses. I've done everything. And each time I start it with the mods, I do the "verify Integrity" thing and I'm always missing 2 files and have to re-download them again. Someone, help... I just wanna play CE

Did you delete the backups that SMM creates?
Because you'll want to make sure the backup files are of vanilla FTL so when you upload a mod, it goes back to your backup, then compiles CE into your game.
I remember not doing that at one point so every time I restarted the game, the Rebel Fleet would be delayed by 10000 jumps and I had features from A Strange New Galaxy.

Also, after you patched CE into the game, don't go to Steam and verify the game cache integrity. That removes the mods you just put in!

Just tried doing that, and it still doesnt load it up... Just goes to the loading screen with the weird CE icon, and then an error pops up saying it took to long to load :/ at this rate i'll never play CE
