Anyone have plans to make a wiki for FTL?

Well, there's no reason why we couldn't make one. All we need is the beta to come out so we can have some information.

Yea but developer help would speed things along as well and insure accuracy. I would hate to spread bad information.

Being slightly inaccurate is part of the wiki fun. And look at the Dorf Fort wiki, they've got it on lock without help from Toadyone (I'm assuming he isn't in on it).

I started posting a ton of information to the FTL wiki.
Beware as it is full of spoilers.
Also I pulled a lot of info from the game data, so you might avert your eyes if you do not want to see percentage probabilities etc.
And to the creators of FTL: Thank you for the fun game
However what does the 'BP' mean in the weapon descriptions? Also rarity of 0 means you cannot buy it in the game?

How did you get the game data? I'm wondering if it's already possible to create mods. I can see that the resources file has some text data in it, but it also has a lot of binary stuff too.JanoS wrote:I started posting a ton of information to the FTL wiki.

I wrote a short python program. Sorry for its ugliness.
Inside there is a ton of nice XMLs ...
(Thanks to authors of the game for not obfuscating or encrypting it. I am having fun )
And yes, you can mod it in some sense. Create your own encounters, weapons etc.
Code: Select all
import os
f = open("resource.dat")
data = f.read()
f.close()
def getint(pos):
return ord(data[pos]) + (ord(data[pos+1])<<8) + (ord(data[pos+2]) << 16) + (ord(data[pos+3]) << 24)
numfiles = getint(0)
files = []
for i in xrange(numfiles):
files.append(getint(i*4 + 4))
for i in xrange(numfiles):
filelen = getint(files[i])
namelen = getint(files[i]+4)
name = data[files[i]+8:files[i]+8+namelen]
d = os.path.dirname(name)
if d != '' and not os.path.exists(d):
os.makedirs(d)
f = open(name, "w")
f.write(data[files[i]+8+namelen:files[i]+8+namelen+filelen])
f.close()(Thanks to authors of the game for not obfuscating or encrypting it. I am having fun

Is the enemy AI in there?
Would be nice to try and beef it up a little. Right now they play kind of dumb.
