So i tried this guide right here from two years ago https://www.reddit.com/r/starbound/comments/1swvk6/how_to_change_your_characters_personality/ And Idle.x.idle.x nolonger seems to be present in the hexcodes of the .player file has anyone else figured out how to do this in 1.0?
For Windows, using cmd.exe: Code: cd starboundfolder\win32 dump_versioned_json.exe ..\storage\player\uuid.player player.json Where starboundfolder is the full path to your Starbound folder, and uuid is your player uuid (you can use tab after typing ..\storage\player\ to scroll through available options or auto complete). You can edit the formatted output. There'll most likely be results if you Ctrl+F for 'idle'. After that, use: Code: make_versioned.json.exe player.json ..\storage\player\uuid.player I recommend first creating a back up of the file under a different name (and/or folder), and deleting the original player file so that creating a new player file doesn't fail.
I am on mac, Usually i have no problem listening to instructions for windows and figuring out wat i need to do on OSX but that went waaay over my head. :_:
I don't know how you 'run' files through a terminal on OSX, but I'm going to assume it's very similar. In /Starbound/osx there's files 'make_versioned_json' and 'dump_versioned_json'. You have to run them with the same parameters as described above. Hope you can figure it out, I don't really know how to help with that!
Ya i realized that what you meant was doing something similar to how unpacking the assets worked. Still cant seem to get it to run though --- Post updated --- I cant seem to find anything titles "uuid.player" --- Post updated --- I think im the right track but i keep getting permission denied in the terminal
In Rathma's name I raise you from the dead! Thank you so much for that insightful post Errors4l. For anybody else on the same quest to change their character's personality, I offer the following advice. 1. Make a new character of the same race with the desired personality. To avoid trial and error with idle.# values and offset values. 2. Run each character through the dump_versioned_json.exe 3. Open the jsons with Sublime, or Notepad, or whatever 4. Search for the "identity" section or personality as the identity section will have 4 fields touting personality (idles & offets) 5. Translate the new character's personality values to the four fields of your existing character 6. Run your json through make_versioned.json.exe Enjoy!
I'm on linux. Same thing, though, for the 3 OS's - Yay Chucklefish!!!. Under your Starbound folder (which probably is under steamapps/common, or wherevever you installed it, if not from steam), you'll find 6 folders - "assets", "doc", "mods", "storage", "tiled", and one named for your OS. In my case, "linux", in the example above "win32", in your case, something mac related. The saves are in storage/player (for players, obviously) and storage/universe (for worlds and systems - yeah, you can hack those too). About UUID, that's the player unique number. They look like this: 04d6bc6dcc4e0f3ac3fe92c84271c710.player To mess with then, go to Starbound/storage/player, and make copies of those .player files for backup somewhere else. Now, open a terminal window and type this (works for both linux and Mac): Code: cd Starbound/storage/player ../yourOs/dump_versioned_json 04d6bc6dcc4e0f3ac3fe92c84271c710.player player.json rm 04d6bc6dcc4e0f3ac3fe92c84271c710.player Substitute Starbound with the full path of your Starbound folder, mine is /home/user/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Starbound. Substitute yourOS with the actual name of your OS folder folder, mine is "linux". Substitute 04d6bc6dcc4e0f3ac3fe92c84271c710 with you actual UUID. I don't know about Mac, but in linux I just have to type the 3 first characters and hit tab, and it autocompletes. Edit player.json to your heart's contents. Save it to the same place. Now, go back to the terminal window: Code: cd Starbound/storage/player ../yourOs/make_versioned_json player.json 04d6bc6dcc4e0f3ac3fe92c84271c710.player That is it. Brand new edited toon!
