[Tool] ftldat r7

Malwarebytes said its a backdoor.

The virus false-positive comes from the tool used to bake that code into an exe.
That tool was PyInstaller, for which this is a known issue.

Anyone have a working version of ftldat available? The exe just gives me an error message(once I finally force chrome to disregard it classifying it as a virus and refusing to download), so I downloaded the python files, installed python, downloaded pyinstaller and installed NSIS.

Ran the prompt... and got 3 syntax errors in pyinstaller.py... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.

It's probably because I got the latest python instead of a legacy version, but at this point it's driving me up the wall.

EDIT: Got the right python version... oh right I need pywin32.

Pywin32 refuses to install because it can't find my python installation in registry! ARGH

EDIT2: got the right version of pywin32... got the install prompt going through... and ERROR. F this, I'm done.

@Kaerius:
There is no reason to use ftldat anymore.

See this post on the previous page.

This isn't working for me. I open my CLI and type in the thing and I just get an error. It says ftldat is not recognized as an internal or external command, operational program or batch file. I've installed it properly from github so I don't see why it isn't working. If I try to put 'run' infront of the command it says the same (but with run instead of ftldat).

Can someone help me because this is making me want to throw my computer out the window.

Any reason you don't just follow what's in the last post and use slipstream?

Anyway, you probably need to make sure the location you installed it is in your path variable, or just move to its location manually.

Ah okay. I did use Slipstream to unpack the files after I posted that comment. Sorry for the trouble.

Is this program still the best way to get the .png files for each ship? I am currently looking for some gibs...
Thanks in advance.

This program is a little obsolete. The most convenient tool currently is Slipstream Mod Manager, which you need anyway to install mods. In the manager's window you simply go to File > Extract Dats... (or something along those lines), specify the output path, and the rest is taken care of.

Thank you very much!
