Grognak's Mod Manager v1.7 (Updated March 6, 2013!)

[Vhati]

This is what I get every time I try:

Code: Select all

ERROR: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'C:/Program Files (x86)/FTL/resources\\data.dat'

- Windows Vista/7/8: may have to do this.


Or you can 'right-click run as admin' the replacement exe I made.

I dowloaded Python 2.7.5 and got this message when i tried to start GMM "No supported version of python found on this system download python 2.7.3 at...


any way to fix this? to i actually need python 2.7.3 and any other won't work?


(edit: I installed python 2.7.3 and still didn't work)

Ignore modman.exe for now (it's broken), and run main.py directly.
- Windows XP: Double-click main.py.
- Windows Vista/7/8: may have to do this.


Or you can use the replacement exe I made.

After months of lurking this forum, I've finally made this account solely on figuring out how to use 1.7. I have Windows 8 and I do not know what to do. Please. Help.

You haven't mentioned a problem, so here's everything.

Download links:

• Python 2.x or 3.x - [Windows/Mac/Linux]
• GMM 1.7.0 - [Windows] - [Mac/Linux]

From the first post...

How do I install and use this?
You can unzip the archive anywhere and it will (hopefully) auto-detect where FTL is located.

Mods come in .ftl files. To make one available to GMM, simply drag it into the /mods folder.

To install mods, open GMM, select the mods you want to be installed, and hit Patch. Please note that you need to re-select mods that you already have installed, otherwise they will uninstall themselves.

In order to completely uninstall all mods, simply start the patching process with nothing selected.

There's a known problem with modman.exe. See the post directly above yours for how to deal with that.

I've been trying to use your mod manger for a while but it keeps crashing, here's the log.
[EDIT] By use I mean that this is what happens every time I attempt to patch my game

You may have chosen mods that don't play well together.
Select fewer or change their order (by dragging them up or down the list).

[UltraMantis]

Generally mods that alter the same files will not work together. If two mods try to edit the Kestrel, only one will work or the game may crash entirely.
