SMM Won't Patch.

Postby Varis » Fri Jul 21, 2017 5:41 pm

A few weeks ago, while looking for a new game to play, I stumbled across FTL, and (after being thoroughly irritated by the space shenanigans that love to screw me over), decided to try some mods. The most praised, it seems, is Captains Edition. Unfortunately, that requires SMM. And unfortunately, that doesn't seem to want to work for me. If I attempt to patch any of the .FTL files inside the "Mod" folder into the game, I get a "Patching Failed: Java.io.EOFException". This includes the two scrap boosters that SMM throws at you for free when you first install it.

I also get this lovely wall of errors when patching. Unfortunately, I don't speak coding, so I'll have to ask someone else to translate for me... And if you have any advice, thanks in advance!

1. maybe because of Corruption of files
2. maybe because Java isnt updated
3. maybe because your computer fucking hates it and if thats so try 1.5
Side note, If your using 1.6 try using 1.5 or earlier version
4. maybe because of a new update
5. maybe because you installed it wrong
6. or maybe because your gave SMM a bad file to launch ftl

Edit: The coding says You fucked up
You Probably need java

Edit 2:
You need to run it as admin

Code: Select all

Okayish Modder, and a terrible splicer; but i did throw my share in Project Coal, and helped in Multiverse.
