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.java.com/en/download/
|
|
|
|
FTL (1.01-1.03.3, Windows/OSX/Linux, Steam/GOG/Standalone).
|
|
http://www.ftlgame.com/
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
On OSX, you can select "FTL.app", because the resources are inside it.
|
|
|
|
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.command.
|
|
|
|
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Delete the outdated files in Slipstream/backup/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 you get permission errors...
|
|
Make sure resource.dat and data.dat aren't 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:
|
|
Linux: "[~/.local/share or $XDG_DATA_HOME]/Steam/SteamApps/common/FTL Faster Than Light/data/resources"
|
|
Mac: "~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/FTL Faster Than Light/FTL.app"
|
|
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.
