RELEASED SBSE - Customize your player colors using any color!

Hi guys, thanks everyone for your feedback. My job has picked up since I last updated this, so my workload is overwhelming me and I don't have time to work on this tool. It was a fun little project to make and I'll leave it up for the time being, but I'm afraid for the foreseeable future I wont be making any updates, which potentially includes any new save format coming out in the next update. With any luck, maybe they'll introduce a system that makes my tool obsolete so you wont need this any more if you want to color your character. That being said, if the clouds open up for me and I'm able to take some time, I will try to update this to any new save format. The process may take some time, however, so it'll be lucky if I do manage to get an update out.

A little fun fact: since release there has been 12,025 save files edited using this tool, which is far more than I ever expected.

 

Phaze, are you interested in open sourcing some of your code? I have been eyeing off SBSE's character rendering stuff for ages now (it is VERY cool) and I'd rather not double up on effort writing my own version.

I will be working on the new save file format asap, when it's done maybe that would be helpful to update SBSE? I'd hate to see it die.

 

I have been considering open sourcing my code, but it occurs to me that the source is pretty worthless now that the save format has changed. Most of the magic really happens in the javascript side of things, which can be easily viewed by anyone who really wants to know how it works.

Having a fleshed out spec for the new save format would be great, I see that McSimp has already made some progress today so that's pretty cool. It means that all I'd need to do is update my player file reader instead of doing the reversing myself. I'd be more inclined to find time if that were the case.

EDIT: Also looks like there's a new packed format for assets, which also kinda hinders SBSE as I wrote it to parse the raw JSON files. Though, I'd hope that all I'd need to do is unpack it somehow.

 

What about unminified JS? I tried to look but I am bad enough with JS as it is. I'm a lot more interested in your sprite rendering stuff than the save file reading.

Let me know if you figure out a way around this asset stuff, I am a bit stumped atm.

when wil it be updated :C

 

NEVER
Edit: LOL ropefish its me floro

 

OMGW lol

 

I've received a surprising amount of requests for an update to this. I honestly didn't think many people still used this, but apparently I was wrong. I spent some of my down time this morning to work on an update. So far I've rewritten my save parser from the ground up to be more modular and object based, which will be extremely useful for future updates. Save reading and writing works fine, now I just need to update all the assets and my colorizing code to match the new save format. Not sure how long this will take, but it's the part I wasn't looking forward to because it will take the longest. I'll keep my progress posted in this thread for those who are waiting for an update. I can't promise it will be fast, though.

 

Thanks for putting some much time and effort into this, we all appreciate it!

 

Thankyou so much you are great !

 

Thank you so much. I was very disappointed when you decided to discontinue the project. I even tried figuring out how to make it work myself, but I am nowhere near as skilled as you. I look forward to future updates, no matter how long it takes.

 

Some progress with player rendering. I'm going to change to a different-ish layout to accommodate potential future updates.

 

I should have the first test build out later today for Furious Koala.

 

cant wait

 

Pls gib me nao... Seriously though, thanks for making this. Have an internet metaphorical cookie!

 

Thanks so much for keeping it updated, Phaze! It's been really annoying going in and doing it manually.

 

Thanks for all the hard work your putting into this project OP!

 

Alrighty! First build has been pushed to the server! It should work just as before, but as an added bonus I went ahead and added an advanced mode for body, hair and facial hair colors. I'll update for armor as soon as I can. Also in a future update I'll add the ability to create new color replacements so you can further customize armor that you otherwise couldn't (such as the black part of the default jacked humans wear, instead of just the undershirt).

Also it should go without saying that there are likely to be bugs. I would appreciate you report any here, along with your player UUID so I can look and see what happened. I'll tackle any bugs as soon as I can.

 

your awesome man

encountered a bug, when i hit save it goes to export it, then it just freezes

 

Same.
