[UI] Comprehensive Screenshot - v1.3
-- About A few days ago this reddit thread has been linked on the ITB discord's modding channel, and I decided to pick it up, since it seemed like an interesting project to tackle. This mod adds a toggleable user interface which shows movement and weapon loadout of all of your mechs, as well as the...

Re: Prototype Lua mod loader
Seeing as Cyber has been absent and unreachable for extended periods of time, on top of -- for some reason -- ignoring repeated pleas for a git repository to enable community-driven bugfixing, I decided to continue development of the mod loader on my own. The GitHub repository / download can be foun...

Re: Modding ITB: R&D And Current Findings
Two competing mod loaders each with own mod format. We're in for a ride, boys. Wouldn't say competing -- more like supplementary to each other. Mine only deals with restoring the game into vanilla state, and then getting modded files in. Extra lua features (like the modding API) can then be added a...

Re: Modding ITB: R&D And Current Findings
So, the mod manager I've been working on is now somewhat usable. Figured it'd be useful to post a preview version to get some feedback. It already includes some nifty functionalities, like unpacking/repacking of the game's resource.dat (outside of patching mods), automatic detection of stale backups...

Re: [Tool] Superluminal 2.2.1 - FTL Ship Editor
Unfortunately that doesn't tell me much. If you could post the contents of the editor-log.txt file (wrapped in [code][/code] tags) after the editor crashes, that would allow me to start figuring out what the problem is.

Re: Modding ITB: R&D And Current Findings
@rannl The .dat files use the same format old FTL did, so that's already solved. Scripts are simple text files, loaded at runtime, so there's no need for precompilation of any kind. The only problem currently are the .bank files for music and sound; wcarss has written up a post about that on the pre...

Re: Modding ITB: R&D And Current Findings
Do you have anything specific in mind, rannl? I think in the first place we need to figure out a standardized way to install mods, like an equivalent to .ftl files -- simply copying the .ftl approach is a good start, but appending stuff to lua files is not gonna work. In other news, I've been taking...

Re: Modding ITB: R&D And Current Findings
So, to start off. I poked around the files for a short while before playing the game. Some notes: ⋅ Like Sleeper mentioned, it seems most of the game mechanics have been implemented in lua scripts. This is great news -- this means that mods will have crazy potential. Pretty much no more &q...

Re: [Tool] Superluminal 2.2 - FTL Ship Editor
I knew I missed something... Thanks for letting me know, and thanks for the answer Vhati!
I've updated the release on GitHub -- simply redownload the editor.
