The problem is that SMM doesn't have the rights to access stuff in Program Files. To solve this, run the manager as admin (right click on .exe > Run as admin...)

If not for you the modding community would be about a tenth its current size.
Thank you for your great tool.

i continue having the same error report on all mod even with those which come togethere with the mod manager.heres the report:
Patching failed: org.jdom2.IllegalDataException: The data "O6`@#` @eoe. H@eo oco6e##oo." is not legal for a JDOM character content: 0x001c is not a legal XML character.


can anyone tell me whats the problem and how to repair it?

Hm I want to make use of the new capabilities slipstream offers, but it still does not run for me under Linux. Executing the modman.jar with Java 7 runtime simply does nothing. modman-log remains emtpy.

Here's the report:

Copy/paste the contents of "modman-log.txt" into a reply here between [ code ] ... [ /code ] tags.


Since you're seeing that with all mods, the "If FTL's resources are corrupt" section in SMM's readme might help.

Run "java -version".
If it says 1.7.0_25, you'll either need to upgrade or run the mod manager with Java 1.6.

The logging library doesn't play nice with that specific version of Java.


Edit: That library just got an update to fix the hang, which will be included in the next SMM release.

When I run this it opens but the command prompt immediately closes before I can read the error.

Which OS do you have?

Any way to fix this?

@Stefive
You have to run SMM as admin. Right-click on the .exe and select "Run as administrator".
If you don't have admin privileges on your account, you'll have to keep your FTL installation outside of Program Files, since that folder is protected by Windows.
