About
|
|
|
|
Slipstream is a mod manager for the game FasterThanLight, making it
|
|
easy to install multiple mods at the same time and, later, revert
|
|
to vanilla gameplay.
|
|
|
|
It is the successor to Grognak's Mod Manager (GMM).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
|
|
Java 1.6 or higher.
|
|
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
|
|
|
|
FTL (1.01-1.03.3, Windows/OSX/Linux, Steam/GOG/Standalone).
|
|
http://www.ftlgame.com/
|
|
|
|
* WinXP SP1 can't run Java 1.7.
|
|
(1.7 was built with VisualStudio 2010, causing a DecodePointer error).
|
|
To get 1.6, you may have to google "jdk-6u45-windows-i586.exe".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setup
|
|
|
|
Extract the files from this archive anywhere.
|
|
|
|
On the first run, you may be prompted to locate your
|
|
FTL resources. Specifically "data.dat" in the "resources\"
|
|
directory under your FTL install.
|
|
|
|
In most cases, this should be located automatically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
|
|
To add a mod (an *.ftl file):
|
|
Put it in the Slipstream\mods\ folder.
|
|
|
|
To start the mod manager:
|
|
Double-click modman.exe or modman.jar.
|
|
|
|
To install mods:
|
|
Tick checkboxes to select the mods you want to install.
|
|
Mods at the top get clobbered by ones below. Drag names to reorder.
|
|
Click the "Patch" button.
|
|
(Any unselected mods will be omitted/uninstalled.)
|
|
|
|
To uninstall all mods:
|
|
Click "Patch" with none selected.
|
|
|
|
Before upgrading Slipstream:
|
|
Uninstall all mods, so the next version will see a clean game.
|
|
|
|
If you upgrade FTL:
|
|
Delete the outdated files in Slipstream\backup\
|
|
If you don't, the game's resources will get corrupted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
* If you get "java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError" on startup...
|
|
You need a newer version of Java.
|
|
|
|
* If some other program starts when you double-click modman.jar...
|
|
Try JarFix.
|
|

|
|
|
|
* If you get permission errors...
|
|
Start Menu -> Programs -> Accessories.
|
|
Right-click "Command Prompt" to run as an admin.
|
|
Type this, then hit enter: cd "c:\location\of\Slipstream"
|
|
Type this, then hit enter: java -jar modman.jar
|
|
|
|
Make sure that your resource.dat and data.dat files are not read-only.
|
|
|
|
* If the game shows exclamation marks for everything...
|
|
See the suggestion below for replacing corrupt resources.
|
|
|
|
* If text in-game is shrunken and moved to the top of the screen...
|
|
FTL was upgraded, but Slipstream modded with backups from the old FTL.
|
|
When upgrading FTL in the future, delete what's in SMM\backup\ first.
|
|
See the suggestion below for replacing corrupt resources.
|
|
|
|
* If FTL's resources are corrupt...
|
|
Delete the files in SMM\backup\
|
|
Steam users:
|
|
Delete FTL's resource directory:
|
|
"C:\Program Files [or (x86)]\Steam\steamapps\common\FTL Faster Than Light\resources"
|
|
Start Steam and "verify game cache".
|
|
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335
|
|
Run FTL, which will cause steam to copy fresh resources from its cache.
|
|
Standalone users:
|
|
Reinstall FTL.
