Hey all.
Did you know FTL has a developer console? Probably not, since it's hard-coded as being disabled in FTL's code.
This "mod" re-enables it.
Currently, it's only compatible with the windows 1.6.9 steam release of the game. I'm happy to port it to other releases if anyone wants that.
Here's what it looks like in-game:
Note: THIS MODIFIES YOUR FTLGame.exe. If it breaks, you may have to re-install FTL.
Installation
Download and unpack the .zip
Run install.bat and follow instructions
Uninstallation
Run uninstall.bat and follow instructions
If that doesn't work, go to your FTL directory and rename FTLGame-backup.exe to FTLGame.exe
Usage
When in-game, press "L" to open the console.
Console commands: (I haven't figured out all of them)
event [event ID]
Triggers event
index
???
load
???
ach
Achievement unlock?
sector [sector type]
Immediately jumps to a new sector with the type specified (sector types are in sector_data.xml)

Credit where credit is due: I'm not the first one to find the developer console. I think TheSwiftTiger managed to enable it on an older version of FTL a year or two ago. Not sure if that ever got publicly released.
I'll release source code for this mod soon. It'll come as an update to the FTLAPI github repo I started years back.
