How to install slipstream

[Bird Up]

I downloaded version 1.9.1 of slipstream, and every time I launch modman I can never find the data.dat folder anywhere. I look in the steamapps/common/FTL FasterThanLight/ and its nowhere to be found. I checked my game folder and it wasn't there either. Not sure what I'm supposed to do here?

Are you sure you're actually running the 1.9.1 version? Because that won't even look for a data.dat file. The current .dat file is a combo of the previously existing ones and called ftl.dat. 1.9.1 will look for that instead.

I suspect that whether you downloaded 1.9.1 or not, you still have an older version that you're actually running.

It should actually say in the main text window when modman.jar loads.

I reinstalled the game and reinstalled slipstream version 1.9.1.

I took the file SlipstreamModManager_1.9.1-Win and put it into my FTL folder which is under steamapps>common>FTL Faster Than Light.

I then ran modman and a message cam up saying:

- You will now be prompted to locate FTL manuallly.
Look in {FTL dir} to select 'ftl.dat' or 'data.dat'.

It may be buried under a subdirectory called 'resources/'.
Or select 'FTL.app', if you're on OSX -

It then takes me to file explorer and I can never find any of the files they requested.

I got the mod itself from the subset forms.

I Had the same issue. so i swapped folders to my C: Drive from my F: Drive and it worked flawlessly from there on out. so just reinstall FTL into C: and it should work

I tried all these things and it still gives me the same message. and I can still never find the data folder.

Nevermind, I found it. I was just being retarded and didn't bother to use the search tool I had access to.

Edit: Wow, they actually censor r e t a r d e d.

Yeah, they do, because a lot of people call people who have disabilties that and a lot of people find it offensive because of that
