[Spoiler] FTL Profile/SavedGame Editor v27 (2018-01-12)

[Vhati]

the editor just does not want to launch

Does the log say anything after you double-click "FTLProfileEditor-v16.jar" and it crashes?
(Paste here in [ code ] tags)

You might try JarFix if the problem is that Windows somehow got confused about how to run jars.

I've downloaded the emergency launch tool you made. pops up a cmd window with nothing in it, after two seconds it closes automatically without telling me anything.

I assume you made it through the popups about finding Java... Does "emergency_log.txt" say anything after you double-click "FTLEditor_Emergency.bat"?

it could be i have mods installed i guess, but that didn't stop it from working last time.

Typos in many mods can cause the editor to crash as it starts up (complaining about bad XML in the log file).
But Slipstream Mod Manager should be correcting typos as it patches nowadays, so I'm curious what mods you're using, if any.

v17 has been released:

• Added platform-specific launchers to double-click instead of the jar.
• Added readmes.
• Cleaned up some dodgy code when initially prompting for FTL's location.
• Revised the initial stats of ships spawned by the "Change Ship" tab.
• Renamed the log file to end in ".txt".

A few important things changed under the hood, as code from Slipstream was incorporated: notably the more robust XML parser and the Java port of FTLDat.


The jar has been renamed, so the emergency launcher will no longer work.
The new exe makes that troubleshooting tool obsolete anyhow.

I ran the program on page 1 to find the emergency file. here is the results

[Vhati]

Windows is trying to protect "C:\Program Files (x86)" from tampering.

Right-click FTLProfileEditor.exe and "run as administrator".


The Profile/SavedGame Editor only needs *read* access, but a recent update had it asking for authority to read/write, which requires admin privileges. It never actually writes the game's resources, so that's a bug.
I'll fix that in the next version.

I can't seem to edit the power available ("Reserve Capacity"). I can change it, and if I open a system later on, and it says it's changed, but when I save the ship and either open it in FTL or reopen it in this editor, the power returns to what it was before.

It may be relevant, but I was trying to set the power to 1 on the Zoltan B and earlier tried to max the power on the Crystal B. Didn't work either time- it seems to work with any other item, but power available just doesn't seem to work.

Am I missing something? Did I do something wrong?
Thanks in advance.

You found a bug. Reserve Capacity wasn't getting saved.

I'll release an update soon to address that. Thanks!

v18 has been released:

• Fixed a bug that prevented saving changes to a ship's "Reserve Power Capacity".
• The editor no longer needs to be run as an admin on Windows (a bug introduced in v17).

Hi. I'm using the Linux version of v18, and when running the .command, I get this message in terminal:

Failed to execute child process "/home/neil/Downloads/FTL" (No such file or directory)

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, if someone could help me I'd appreciate it.

It's a bug in quoting paths with spaces.
See if the attached replacement helps.

You may need to chmod this to make it executable.
