FTL: Faster Than Light

Editing the data.dat even with Notepad++ crashes the game. Are the devs really that much against modding?

Because that file is compiled code. You'll need to decompile it somehow. Yes, you can read parts of it, but that's because it is files compiled together. It won't read correctly if you forget around with the compiled file.

I was able to do it. The thing is, it doesn't like lots of edits. Make small changes and try not to change the character count of the entire file. It should work then, hopefully.

[MegaScientifical]

The problem is, that's compiled. The reason it breaks is because the stuff you're having trouble reading tells where files start and stop within the same file, lengths of files, etc. When you forget around in there, it confuses how the game has to read it and breaks the game. Find a way to decompile the code.

Doodler, I wanna ask FTL crap over Steam, bro.

Edit: Something seems wrong with this...

You can't jump away in a boss fight or it'll instant kill you, the boss has 3 Stages. I've killed the flagship twice now, fought it about 5 times now. And yes my ship is a richard shape because you unlock it if you kill the flagship. Also my image had a description that said I in fact died, if you look carefully you can see that there was people breaking my engines at the time which in return takes one hull off which is all I had left. But I still won.

It said Rebels got to the REBEL base... but weren't they going to our FEDERATION base? Or were we overseeing a conquered Rebel base and they were after us?

Anyway, this was last night. It was actually working until I ran out of missiles. I might have won if I hadn't sold like 15 missiles beforehand, but I had like 29 total and didn't want all of them. I really wish my boarding droid went into the weapons to his left - you know why. But anyway, I eventually had to jump away and they killed me.

They need to add an Undo button for shops like other menus. ._. I was like like "Hell ya, sold my Laser 2 for Laser 3." Then I looked down "Hull laser" ... ... ... forget I clicked the wrong one... And I can't afford the new one... the forget. And then I botched up trying to get it by selling all my spare anti droids and Laser 2. (I had 2)

I thought so too, yet I was nearly dead and thought "I have to jump out of here and restock or I'm dead anyway." Then I came back and won.

I've been able to jump away from the flagship a lot. Do you mean since it gets to heal?

So you know Twitch Streamers? One of the biggest one has been streaming FTL for a while, and I decided to check him out. The title said he's playing v1.02, and I couldn't find a change log. I asked the chat, they said it's bug, graphic, and typo fixes. So I went to upgrade myself to the beta (v1.02), got this:



Well... I've never seen that GUI before...


Edit: All of my rage... All of it... All of my loving rage... I was fighting this slug cruiser, and I couldn't get past it's shields. I was losing oxygen too because they sabotaged it, so I jumped. It then says I see a ship, get close, then notice pirate markings. I say keep distance, suddenly I hear and see my weapons charging for a split second and then the game simply closes out. All my loving progress - gone. I reloaded the game, no save. forget you game. forget you. I think the game still thought I was firing on the Slug ship or some bullstuff and went "AHDFDFD" and crashed.

I only ever won once.
Once.

In my whole career.
Someone teach me how to not die at the drone-y part of the last stand.

Aim shield-piercing weapons at the robo center (missiles and bombs and such), and fire non-shield piercing weapons directly at the shields. Once the shields are down, focus all non-shield piercing weapons on the weapons.

Or teleport someone onto the enemy ship to sabotage it from the inside.

or cloak to avoid the drones, bomb the medbay until it's destroyed, then warp in 2(or 4 if you use crystal b) mantis/rockmen/crystal crew members and have them kill everyone but one guy
