Right, I got python and the game works fine. Thanks!

Hey Guys!
Steam has the game on sale for $5 so I went ahead and purchased it. I will be happy to do some Windows install video's, but I will be out of town for the next two days. So, I can hopefully do the videos on Sunday night.

Thanks!

I seem to be having that infamous D problem on Winows, using XP SP3 here, so still on 32bit OS.

However, I can see that Mike said "Fixed it" without actually saying how he fixed it, does anyone know as I am getting a little peeved that I have tried it a few times and it just seems to not want to work.

Mike's problem was that he only moved his modman.exe file over instead of everything.

hmm, I copied everything from the folder over into my main FTL folder, but I kept everything in the src folder in there (often do with mods as I have had a few where those files if "loose" can cause a bug or two, or they are just developer files, like in Fallout Mod Manager)

Having horrible issues with this as of now. I use a mac btw, and have followed the directions from the video and text instructions but keep running into this problem. Whenever i open main.py i always get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

import argparse
ImportError: No module named argparse
My-Name-MacBook-Pro:Contents name$

I don't exactly know much about python and when i checked the file ftldat.py in textedit, line 4 argparse was there. I have no clue why it says it doesnt though. I have python 3.3.0./2.6.1/2.5.4 Its incredibly annoying as i cant even start the manager and couldn't find any answers that i could follow or worked anywhere on every single one of these pages. Help would be much appreciated

*Scratch that, got python 2.7 and it works fine, cmd f looking for argparse apparently isnt the best way to find my problems

I just tried to install the mod manager but there is no mod order file and the application is just a Python file displaying a blank screen. What am I doing wrong?

dumb question:
wheres the directory where FTL is installed in?
cant find it

This depends on the operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux) and the game version you are using (Steam, FTL web site, GOG). What are you using?

Sounds good. Are you sure you're getting the same error that Mike was?

Operating system? Steam or nonsteam?
