    Hey guys, i'm making the first test version of my web-based save file parser available here:


    Upload your .player save file and it will parse and output information about your character save.

    A big thanks to @McSimp and his files on starbound save structure research, it really helped me fill in the blanks for the things I was missing.

    Todo
    • Display the rest of the player data that is collected ( Health, blueprints, techs, etc)
    • Show Images for all Items
    • Show generated player image
    • Allow editing of all things
    This is my first forray into processing any kind of save file, please be gentle, constructive criticism welcome.

    Editing player description would be great, is that a possibility?

    It's possible, but I believe this is only for displaying information about a save.

    player description is stored in the player save, so yeah, not a problem!

    Nope, that's what other players will say when they examine you

    I meant the save reader itself, it's only for looking at save file info. You can definitely change descriptors.

    Very cool. I'd love to see this evolve into a fully fledged web-based save editor.

    That's currently what i'm working on. I've successfully rebuilt a save file from parsed data, so my next step is to make editable forms for the items and see how that holds up when converting back to a save file.

    I've heard the future save files will be based on BSON, so when that happens I have some cool ideas for character and item sharing i'd like to try. Until then i'm trying to focus on making a nice interface for editing and viewing!

    So where are you yet? If you haven't found a way, i know how to do it, but its kinda long and borring... basicaly get all the items and put em in all slots, save the placement and all...

    I've added the ability to edit your pixels, character name, uuid and some pretty-ness updates.

    Please make backups before using this tool, i'm not responsible for lost saves.

    Editing your items is currently non-functionable, but you can see the interactions for when they do. That'll be in soon, probably.

    Have fun! Please dont kill my bandwidth!

    Somehow I forgot to add the player description editor, thats working now too!

    Mangles your save data at the moment:

    Code:
    PlayerException: No such stored player with uuid
    '4d82230a88575d1e5a3de90d669f28a3'

    Can you tell me what changes you made?

    I just changed the description. However, I tossed it in again, changed the name instead, and it still came out non-working.

    Thanks, definitely see the bug there.

    I've made some changes, can you see if its still an issue?

    Editing description doesn't botch my save, but I can't seem to add more items to my char. I tried changing the number of silver I had and it just said "you haven't made any changes." Am I doing something incorrect?

    You're not doing anything wrong, the item editing isn't available until i get around to it later tonight.
