Mod Install Help!

Postby Vincam195 » Sun Jan 06, 2013 6:49 pm

I need help with patching mods using GMM. I've had a conversation on another discussion with no luck. Here is what was in the conversation:

This should fix you right up, Vincam.


I had tried that and it didn't do anything. I deleted those and then used GMM. The files mentioned were made again and FTL stayed the same. One thing I did notice, though was that I tried deselecting all of the mods, hoping that uninstalling them would help, but all of the mods stayed installed when I launched FTL again.
EDIT: Another thing. It seems as if when I do install the mods, FTL downgrades (maybe because of what Splette said). Two things that hinted at this was that when O2 ran out in a room, the floor didn't have stripes through them, but also didn't have the orange walls around it. The other thing is that the "enemy powering FTL" text didn't appear when the enemy was powering it's FTL drive. Just letting you know to see if that helps.

If it helps you any more I use a Mac OS X 10.7.5 and I run FTL on Steam.

Vinc, it sounds like your data and resource .DATs are ... well for lack of a better word, 'contaminated' with the old version. Use Steam to verify file integrity - if that doesn't clear things up for you, best bet is probably to delete local game files and re-download / install.
I'm not sure how Mac systems save the profile (unlock) data, so you'd want to look for that and make a backup first, if you feel the need to go the second route, since I assume you don't want to risk losing any ship unlocks or stats in the process.

Once you've got a clean slate and your game version is up to date with 1.03, then try reinstalling your mods of choice.

I'm leaving this topic up for people who share the problem I had. Although, I just did a brief check, so if any more problems come about, I will mention them.
