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

[meklozz]

On a side note, when I reported the bugs before, I didn't mention that there were 2 mods not (properly) working:
1) Random Flagship (by Randtrel IIRC), where the rooms weren't properly placed over the enemy flagship - ok, I was using the ACE model instead of the ACEinf model.
2) Extended Pursuit Indicator x3 (v.1.1) doesn't work at all

Do I have to report the bug on both dedicated topics?

It's weird the pursuit indicator doesn't work, it's just a graphic replacement. I can't really try anything now as I have to download the latest versions of.. just about everything. The first one sounds like wrong versions, don't see a bug there.

Whenever I try to play with EL, it crashes. My mod order is this.

How about running other mods, any problems without EL?

Try launching the task manager (ctrl+shift+esc in windows), and checking how much RAM (memory column, in the processes tab) ftl is eating as it launches. If it's high you might need to check into Large Address Aware settings for exe files, it's mentioned in the trouble shooting section, I think. Just google it, and you should find a program you can use on the ftlgame.exe. Might help if this is the issue. FTL simply tries to take way too much ram on some systems, and once you mod too much, it grows even further. I don't think there is any actual solution for ram usage, so you just need to let it have more.

Other things to try would involve deleting your saves (after backing up), reinstalling game and removing the backups for slipstream, maybe checking the error logs in ftl folder to see if there's a problem with anything in particular.

The Mods you have and the ones you are using are different.
In the first list I can see "Descent into Darkness" (which is bugged) and the two basic Slip mods, "Beginning scrap" and "Engi scrap", which can easily conflict with the CE mod.
Also, as GianTell pointed out, you are using together 2 different CE Endless Loot mods, which is bad (see the first page of this topic).
Finally, there is no BALLISTIC! mod, only two of them which make it working with CE...

Try using these mods in this order:

Code: Select all

 GO Ballistic! 1.2 GAUSS Edition
 CE Resource Pack
 FTL Captain's Edition
 CE Infinite Addon
 EL Texture Pack
 CE Endless loot addon for CE Infinite
 Ballistic! 1.0 Compatibility patch
 Randtrel
 *any other ship mods you want to use*

The Artillery Fix is meant to be used only if you started a mission and you've bought the Artillery on a ship which was not originally meant to have it (basically, any ship but the Federation Cruiser).
If you use that Mod from the beginning, your ship will automatically start with the Artillery system installed.

I feel like there was miscommunication here. The only mods I had active at the time were

Code: Select all

CE Resource Pack 1.286.ftl
FTL Captains Edition 1.286.ftl
CE Infinite Addon 1.28.ftl

If you are running only the Mods you've indicated here, either one (or more) of them is corrupted/broken, or Slipstream doesn't work as it should.
Worst case scenario is to uninstall FTL and reinstall it after rebooting your PC.
Before doing so, check if FTL Vanilla works or not; then check if FTL still works with some mods or not.

Already did all of that.

[GianTell]

Already did all of that.

So you mean, even after:

- re-installing the game
- test playing it vanilla (which I assumed no crash)
- test with other mods (which I assumed no crash)

,you still got crashed when you installed CE and play it?

Have you tried installing CE without the EL addon, so only install these:

Code: Select all

CE Resource Pack 1.286.ftl
FTL Captains Edition 1.286.ftl
CE Infinite Addon 1.28.ftl

See if the game would run.

Did you read my post on the previous page and also did all that?

Yes to the first question, and it seems to run fine with just those three add-ons.

To meklozz, I somehow missed your post. I'll try that stuff whenever possible.

Hmm, then I think your FTL draws too much RAM because of the sheer amount of weapons added by EL addon? xD

There was somekind of bug I think, where FTL abnormally drains too much RAM, and when mods added (heavy mods like EL), it jolts the RAM drainage even more, and causing lag, freeze and even crashes. That might be the cause..?

[Sleeper Service]

Awesome background here, too bad if I move the mouse over the "warning" icon on the upper right part of the screen there is no info on what's going on. It also happens for 2~3 other symbols:
• inside a huge base
• blackhole
• magnetic field (not the ion storm)

So some good finds there, I'll look into it. In reference to the last problem: Would you guys prefer having at least some kind of inbuilt tooltip bellow the warning icons. Something like

Weapons: -1
Drones: -3

Works for me, can't reproduce the problem. Ram usage as described above might indeed be the issue.

Hey Sleeper,

Been awhile since I last had a need to post something here.
Still rocking CE on the FTL LP (though it's now up to the RNG if it gets used in a run).
But I'm not here to post a bug report or anything, more like a suggestion.

Awhile ago, I helped someone get a mod going to get 2 extra songs into the game.
And after listening to them, I got to say, they fit the FTL game perfectly. (According to me at least.)
Two tracks, both fairly the same and they can switch perfectly, so it goes perfectly for exploration/combat.
I've been guaranteed the music is free to use as far as licensing goes so no issues there.
And been given permission to pitch the idea.

So, as you might've expected, I think they would be a great addition for the CE music addon.
Been awhile since we heard some new tunes to kick some rebel butt on.

Anyway, here's the mod containing the tracks :
Link

Music created by Comet Hunter.
Anyway, like I said, just a suggestion naturally.
Same for the current sectors it's set to play in, you're free to meddle with those as well should you be willing to add these to the jukebox.
