starcheat: player save editor and Python library [Deleted]

By the way, @wizzomafizzo , I fixed the issue. Now I'm modifying my character's inventory with no issues. All I had to do was wait after uninstalling/reinstalling, apparently.

 

how do i change the attack speed of a weapon and energy cost of a gun?

 

How do you even get this working?

 

You read the instructions. There's a link in the OP.

 

So you use command prompt?

 

Honestly, I'm not the expert on this subject. Just happened to notice someone was in need of help. The instructions are pretty thorough. Sorry if I sounded pushy in my first post.

 

Link me to the mod I can take a look.

No preview at all yet sorry. At the moment it just displays a default pic.

Is this still happening?

Are the modpak files just sitting in the top mods folder? I think starcheat supports modpak files but only if they're in a subfolder. If Starbound expects them in the top folder I can just make an update.

Should be able to do this: http://starcheat.org/community:guides:import_item

Did you compile from source? PIL should be included with the download but I'll take a closer look if this is still happening.

I agree the limit should be increased. It was just a random number I picked, pretty easy to change. How did you set it to Infinity though? I don't really understand how Starbound would store a value like that, it seems like a Javascript thing.

Are you getting an error or anything like that? It should be as easy as downloading the program and double clicking starcheat.exe

To everyone with questions about changing colours and weapon stats. I am trying to keep this documented on starcheat.org but these are more general modding questions. I'll do my best to add interfaces to edit these stats easily but it's not possible for me to document everything about modding by myself sorry. If you post an item export with the question I can probably help a little though.

 

Where is the progra located

 

http://starcheat.org/downloads#windows

 

They're just sitting in the top mods folder. Starbound can read them just fine, it's just starcheat.

 

Reinstalled, crashes on startup. Log


Edit: Seems to work now, after a system restart.

 

what does export and import do? plus how do you import or export a item?

 

Not sure if these are known bugs/issues, but if I say, give myself a stack of 1000 dirt in a blank spot in my inventory, then place and break that dirt, it won't stack with itself. Is this a limitation or can it be fixed? The only way I've gotten around it is by giving myself stacks of two, then placing and breaking the objects ingame, and reloading the save file and increasing the stack size. Stacks added by Starcheat don't stack with themselves when split.

Also, I'd suggest a drop shadow be added to the inventory icons or something as glass is pretty much invisible until you have it selected. This is a minor issue but it's kind of annoying.

Thanks for all the work, this tool has been extremely handy for me.

 

How do you add regeneration to armor or better yet can you tell us the id's for stats effects and projectile id's are it would help alot!!!

 

As soon as I launch Starcheat it comes up with an error message saying: cx_Freeze: Python error in main script (traceback unavailable)

Error in sys.excepthook. Exception: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'write' Original Exception: DB content identifier does not match expected value of "Assets1" (Got Assets2) please help. .

EDIT: I reinstalled the program and put the files into a different folder again, and it works fine now .

 

Whenever I use this, it just deletes my character.

 

no reason why your name is lol ball LAWL but i can help you fix it. i may have remembering problems but certain stuff i never forget including download instructions.i can help you with this also you may be feeling when you read this. no worries its going to be very helpful no trust me.

 

Ok no worries, I'll definitely put a patch in. Hoping to get back into doing updates once work cools off. Hopefully not much longer.

Glad to hear it's working. Error looks like the internal database file was locked. This could happen if starcheat crashed at some point, the reboot would have made Windows unmark the file as "in use". Not sure if there is a way around this besides minimising starcheat crashes.

Importing and export will turn the player/item into a text file that can be edited with something like notepad. It's not very forgiving but allows a lot more customisation that starcheat doesn't support yet. Instructions for items is here: http://starcheat.org/community:guides:import_item

I think what is happening is when starcheat creates dirt it will just put all the possible options in the item with default values. Starbound itself works differently, it only keeps in the options absolutely required. My guess would be when you split the stack up it creates a second dirt with the reduced list of options and considers it a new stack. I'm still thinking of a way around it but you can do a test: create new dirt, delete every item option except the hue/color options, see if you can split and stack that instead.

With the item drop shadows. My plan eventually is to add in the background frames Starbound uses itself. Then we can also show things like stack count and item rarity in the icon. This is pretty far off though, I'm not an expert of generating images like this.

You definitely would have to add a status effect to the item but I'm not sure exactly what that would look like sorry. I have been thinking about the id dump lists but it might be a big hassle to keep updated. Your best bet atm would be to unpack everything yourself but I will thinking of a possible workaround. starcheat indexes most of this stuff itself so could be a case of just having a new dialog to show the lists.

Glad it's working for you! Strange that happened but yeah the error means an old version of starcheat was being loaded for some reason.

It should definitely not do this. Are you on stable or unstable Starbound? Could you upload a copy of the save file as well. The main thing that could cause this is custom items that Starbound doesn't like. You could try delete and items you added with starcheat.
