Re: The Chrono Keepers
Fixed the crash. There's also lots of QOL changes, balancing, and there is new art for the time bombs and new effects for the Stasis Palm.

Re: Prototype Lua mod loader
As requested: You can now use addSquad in the same way as addSquadTrue. There's also a few new API functions. Hi! Thanks for your work so far. I've been a huge fan of FTL and the amazing mods that have been put out for it, and I'm excited to try my hand at modding (for the first time) with ITB. I se...

Re: Prototype Lua mod loader
Important update!! The mod loader now supports loading more squads than there are in the base game. Major thanks to Auxarch for being so stubborn in the pursuit of this ideal, which helped point me in the right direction. Now there are some limitations to this. To be able to view the new squads, you...

Re: Prototype Lua mod loader
The fixed version has been uploaded, sorry about that. It took a little longer than I wanted to get this update out but on the upside the mod loader is now much more resistant to updates. An update that changes resource.dat won't be overwritten by old backups anymore. AUTOMATIC, the reason there isn...

Re: Modability probing (power grid)
Unfortunately no. The power grid is pretty much hardcoded from the C side. If it's not in the lua files we can't do much about it.

Re: Different Female Portraits
Hello, I released an update to the mod loader today which lets you load images, so now you could port this mod to be compatible with others. Some feedback about the mod itself: The portraits you have made look very similar to each other, compared to the portraits in the base game which all look uniq...

Re: Prototype Lua mod loader
Update: The API now supports the loading of images with modApi:appendAsset(<resource>,<filePath>) where resource is the path that is added to resource.dat (for example, "img/units/player/mech_punch.png" is the image for the normal Combat Mech) and filePath is the location of the resource y...

Re: About modding
I know it might sound like I'm asking for much but really I just want to hear that the devs would at least listen to the mod makers. If something is too difficult to do, say that, don't ignore us.

The Chrono Keepers
This mod replaces the Steel Judoka with three new mechs. They don't yet have any original art. https://i.imgur.com/6FoMlHE.png https://i.imgur.com/Bp15Igl.png https://i.imgur.com/3xkhOEv.png This is the mod I've used to test my Prototype Mod Loader. You need to install that to use this mod: http://s...

About modding
So, this game uses Lua. And seeing as Lua works so well with modding I'm a little disappointed that the game's modding capabilities actually seem to be quite limited. Not as limited as FTL, but much more than Invisible, Inc., which uses Lua almost everywhere it's possible. And of course, I can't jus...
