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

[ObsidianAce]

i try to add the'.ftl' to the and of my mods but it ands up as

[filename].ftl.zip

any help on how to make it a proper .ftl?

[Rainseeker]

Thanks for the mod manager, Gronak! I'm having trouble downloading the latest one from MediaFire. Would you mind posting it to a secondary download source?

[Rainseeker]

Got it.

But I have a bug report now: After I patch FTL using Grognak's, the game begins to glitch graphically. It first occurs in the ship naming portion of the new game screen, but it also happens during battle. I'm using Steam and I have already tried verifying the game integrity. It's fine. I'm only trying to use one mod right now, and that's the one that stops the advancement of the rebel fleet.

I'm having the same issue as Rainseeker.

Whenever I can see a room that is being opened to vacuum, it drops a "shadow" over everything to the right of it and below it.

The cursor flickers and becomes a black square during battles.

The ship names in the ship-select screen are being distorted.

[EDIT] Oh! Forgot those two issues/bugs:
The "Enemy FTL charging" and "Jump imminent" notices don't show up.
The striped "no air" markers don't show up.[/EDIT]

Using GMM 1.5 and FTL 1.031 (Purchased via this site, not Steam).

It also seems that the "Scrap advantage" mod isn't working and that I can't uninstall mods. Whenver I de-select all mods and then start GMM again, they're still all selected as "installed".

[Rainseeker]

Yes, those are the exact same bugs as me. I had to physically remove the mods from the folder, and... this is crazy... I had to repeatedly launch and close the program, and each time it removed only one of the mods that were removed from the folder, until I got to the last mod, which was the mod I wanted.

EDIT:

Also, the boarding drones are black boxes.

Okay, umm I feel I'm probably the only one here with this problem and it makes me feel reeaaly noob-y but, how do i fricking open the GMM?! Thanks

Hey guys, I'm trying to get the mod manager working, I've followed all the guides, watched the video, but still cannot get it to work! Whenever I attempt to patch something I get this:

Unpacking data.dat...
Unpacking resource.dat...
Traceback (most recent call last):

Running Mac 10.8.2, Python 2.7.3, Steam version of FTL.
Any ideas?

I can use any mods, even ones I used in the past, I thought it was someone elses mod that was causing this, but I did some looking into it, no mods I use work

[Rainseeker]

Is Grognak still supporting this? We haven't heard from him yet.

[BrenTenkage]

guess no one cares that I can't make any more lets plays. I really could use the help
