ftl-profile-editor

A 3rd-party tool to edit user files for FTL. It depends on resources from the game directory, but the game itself will not be modified.

With this, you can unlock any or all ships and achievements in your user profile, or tweak most aspects of saved games: crew, systems, weapons, fires, breaches, etc.

Note:

  • FTL 1.01-1.03.3: "prof.sav" and "continue.sav" files are fully editable.
  • FTL 1.5.4-1.5.13: "ae_prof.sav" is fully editable.
  • FTL 1.5.4-1.5.13: "continue.sav" is only partially editable.

Usage

  • Exit FTL. The game must NOT be running.
  • Double-click FTLProfileEditor.exe (Win) or FTLProfileEditor.command (Mac/Linux).
  • On the first run, you may be prompted to locate your FTL data file. This is called "data.dat" in the "resources" directory under your FTL install. In most cases, this should be located automatically.
  • Open a profile (ae_prof.sav or prof.sav) or saved game (continue.sav).
  • Make any desired changes.
  • Save, and close the editor.
  • Fire up FTL and try out your new ship.

Requirements

  • Java (1.6 or higher).
  • FTL (1.01-1.03.3 or 1.5.4-1.5.13, Windows/OSX/Linux, Steam/GOG/Standalone).
  • WinXP SP1 can't run Java 1.7.
    • (1.7 was built with VisualStudio 2010, causing a DecodePointer error.)
    • To get 1.6, you may have to google "jdk-6u45-windows-i586.exe".
