http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_%28novel%29 Just like D&D, FTL could support multiple settings while retaining the same basic ruleset. Here is a novel whose setting is very game-like, and was indeed made into a text adventure in the early 90s: Gateway, by Frederik Pohl. Let me describe what...

A poor sod on the Steam forum is lamenting that all his shops sell exclusively breach missiles, :D and all enemies come generated with them :) and all quest rewards are breach missiles as well. :? Which is just as informative as botched brain surgery: why don't we have mutations for this game just l...

Sounds like the file is corrupted, do you use winrar to open these or Windows's own?

I didn't know about Descent into Darkness, definitely giving it a shot today! Thanks.

I think it would be great to be able and upgrade your equipment just like the systems in your ship. It would create more decisions along the way: would you rather buy a different augment, or upgrade your current one?

Thanks. I don't get exactly what the "append" thing is, but I guess that I just want to completely replace the ship's xml and that's enough.

You can do something as simple as a .bat that zips them all up and then renames the resulting .zip. Just check your .zip utility's command line. I did not know about making .ftl on the fly, thanks! So, I have tried opening the simplest .ftl file I could make with Superluminal and it appeared to con...

Thanks that's nice, I will ask you for such a feature after I can complete my work on the utility. Unless I'm missing something, couldn't you make it so that your utility packs your xml and txt files into a .ftl file, then open it with Superluminal? A .ftl file is just a renamed .zip, after all.
