Subset Games Forum

Hello all,

I am completely new to programming FTL (or anything like it). I was wondering if there is any possible way for me to change the name generation from random names to people I know. That way each time I go to play the game my crew is already renamed and I won't need to rename much of my crew.
Thanks,
Bunston

1. Download ftldat
2. Install it
3. Place data.dat from Faster Than Light\resources folder into ftldat/mods folder
4. Run unpack_data.bat
5. Go to ftldat\mods\dev_data\data\names.xml
6. Edit the names you want
7. Save it then delete the data.dat thats there and run pack_data.bat
8. Copy the new data.dat into Faster Than Light\resources folder
9. Enjoy

EDIT: I used an easier program to unpack data.dat. Thanks for your instructions, they've helped me a lot .
