Overview
FTL: Hyperspace is a hard-coded mod (or "exe mod") which aims to extend the modding capabilities of FTL.
It provides a backend to more complex mods which were never possible before, adding features such as the ability to add completely new races with their own stats, a ship selector with infinite pages, and combining augments to create completely new ones.
Seeded runs are now a feature of Hyperspace, too! You can input a seed before starting a run which will disable unlocks and generate the map based on the seed, allowing you to redo a run or play the same run as someone else (to race them, for example!).
Currently, the biggest mod which utilizes Hyperspace is FTL: Multiverse. Go check them out!
The mod also contains some Quality of Life changes to FTL, such as a numerical hull indicator for the player and enemy.
This mod DOES NOT WORK with the latest version of FTL. You will need to downgrade your FTL to 1.6.9 to be able to use it.
The versions between 1.6.9 and 1.6.14 only add a Japanese translation and Steam achievements, so you won't be losing out on much.
The instructions to downgrade are below.

Installation
Updating
Simply replace the Hyperspace.dll with the new one in your FTL installation directory and patch the new Hyperspace.ftl if necessary.
Patching Hyperspace.ftl is not needed for Multiverse but updating the Hyperspace.dll is crucial.
Windows
See our full step-by-step Windows install guide here
Linux & Steam Deck
DO NOT downgrade Linux FTL, you must have 1.6.13 (Steam) or 1.6.12 (GoG/Humble)
Other versions are Windows only and you'll need the WINE instructions below and will have to downgrade to 1.6.9.
See our full step-by-step Linux & Steam Deck install guide here
More linux help is available on the MV Discord and ping Mr. Doom if you're stuck or ask in questions and other people might have help for you.
Linux - Windows only versions with WINE
If your copy is from GoG, Steam, or Humble do not use this method, use native 64-bit above
You'll need WINE installed, and if you plan to run Mutliverse your GPU may also need Vulkan support.
Download the Windows version of FTL by running your launcher (Epic, Origin or Game Pass) through WINE and downloading it through there.
It should tell you where it's downloaded once it's complete.
Install the "Hyperspace.ftl" mod with Slipstream Mod Manager, along with any other mods that utilize Hyperspace after that one.
Extract the files in the "Where FTLGame.exe is" into the Windows FTL version directory.
Downgrade the FTL version:
- Make a backup of FTLGame.exe
- Go to the patch folder
- Open flips.exe with WINE
- Apply patch
- Select patch.bps
- On the bottom right where it says "Most Common ROM Files", click that and select All Files
- Select FTLGame.exe
- Select FTLGame.exe again
- replace file
Launch FTL from the command line as such:
Code: Select all
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xinput1_4=n,b;Hyperspace.dll=n,b" wine ./FTLGame.exe
(If using versions before 1.5.0 you must include `-opengl` at the end of the command line after FTLGame.exe, 1.5.0 and higher detect when running under WINE for you)
You could also create a script that has this.
Specifically for Multiverse: (WINE only)
If you encounter crashes (not a hang but the game just straight up closes) while the MV loading bar is loading you are probably running into this graphics issue: (You will 100% have this problem with Nvidia GPUs)
1. For AMD & Intel GPUs: Make sure Mesa is up to date and tweak your starting command to:
Code: Select all
MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink GALLIUM_DRIVER=zink WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xinput1_4=n,b;Hyperspace.dll=n,b" wine ./FTLGame.exe2. For Nvidia GPUs, you'll need to install a relatively new version of Mesa and you can try to force Nvidia to use Zink, change your starting command to:
Code: Select all
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=mesa MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink GALLIUM_DRIVER=zink WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xinput1_4=n,b;Hyperspace.dll=n,b" wine ./FTLGame.exe3. For users with two GPUs such as an integrated AMD or Intel GPU in their CPU and a separate NVidia GPU you'll probably have to force FTL to launch on just one GPU with prime-run or DRI_PRIME=1.
More linux help is available on the MV Discord and go check out #hyperspace-linux-information
Uninstalling
To uninstall, simply delete the "Hyperspace.dll" file from your FTL directory, where you installed the mod.
To revert back to 1.6.14, in your FTL directory, delete FTLGame.exe and rename FTLGame_orig.exe to FTLGame.exe.
Just removing the mod from Slipstream will NOT remove the entire mod.
Changes/Additions
Code: Select all
See changelogs/hyperspace.xml for more additions.
- Added creation of custom races

- Added custom augments (sort of)
> Different augments can now be combined to make a new augment
> Create a blueprint for the augment, then add their definition to the <augments> in hyperspace.xml
> This can also be used to make new versions of old augments, so that the player and enemy can have seperate values for one augment, for example
> Added hidden augments
• Customizable per ship
• These cannot be removed or added, and do not take up a slot
> Added locked augments
• These cannot be sold/swapped for different augments once equipped

- Explosive Replicator's <value> tag now works as intended
- Seeded runs!
> You can now input a seed before starting a run which will disable unlocks and generate the map based on the seed
> This means that you can redo a run or play the same run as someone else (to race them, for example!)
> You can check your seed in the game pause menu
> Seeds are only the same if the mods used, FTL versions, and Advanced Edition toggles are the same
- Added ih8ih8sn0w's infinite mode (enabled in hyperspace.xml)

- Can customise the drone(s) that buying a drone system gives you
- Event features
> Ships can now use the boss ship box (useful for minibosses and large ships)
> Events can now have a label on the map, like stores and exit beacons
• These replace quest beacon labels and exit beacon labels
> Can add custom event files for the game to load
• The value of <eventFile> in the <event> tag will load data/events_x.xml
• For example, <eventFile>special</eventFile> will make the game load data/events_special.xml
• data/events_hyperspace.xml will always be loaded if it exists
> Added sector specific exit beacons
• Useful for something like a miniboss at the end of a sector
> Added sector specific fleet beacons
> Added <preventQuest> tag to stop quests from overwriting specific events

> Added <removeHazards> tag
> Added <removeNebula> tag
> Added win events
- Added splash screens to main menu
- Added <forceDlc> tag which stops you from disabling Advanced Edition
Mod Makers
Most of the features that you can use from Hyperspace are documented in data/hyperspace.xml in Hyperspace.ftl.
Use a hyperspace.xml.append and add the xml tags you need for your mod.
Ideally, the user would download Hyperspace as well as your mod, and install Hyperspace.ftl first then your mod.
For maximum compatibility with other mods, don't redistribute the Hyperspace resource files and instead just direct the user to download Hyperspace in your forum post.
A Lua API was planned for this release, but unfortunately, due to lack of free time, that wasn't possible.
This may be added to the mod in the future, but don't expect it too soon.
If anyone wants to create some more detailed documentation for the mod's features, please feel free to do so.

Updating fixed the issue, of course. Leaving this post only as an aid in case anyone else suffers the problem - unlikely, but I can never stand it when someone online has exactly the same problem as me and then says "nvm fixed it"
