StarReader, A website for editing your player saves

Hey guys, i've been working on this a bit more since Furious Koala and I think its at a point where i want to share it with everyone and get some feedback.

StarReader is an online save reader/editor. Upload your file, make tweaks, get new file to mess around with.

This guide looks through the possibilities of player inventory editing in Starbound. It is aimed at modders who would like to expand their knowledge and players who do not have enough free time to get. Forums > Starbound > Starbound Modding > Modding Help Is There an Inventory Editor Program For Starbound? I want to be able to edit my character's inventory. Worlds in Starbound are a mixture of procedural and hand. From Starbounder. Tiled is a general purpose tile-based map editor.

Features

• Change name, description, uuid, health/energy/food/warmth/breath values

• Modify Item names, quantities, properties

• Import/Export an item for sharing with other people

• Supports mod items

Todo

• Blueprint & Tech sections

• Player color editing interface

• Generated Item color editing

• Changing difficulty mode

I've been nervous about posting this to this subreddit for fear of backlash, but screw it, let me know what you think, what works, what doesn't, etc etc.

Where do i want to go with this tool? Hopefully in the near future Starbound servers support server-side saves, there's no way client-side saves will ever be safe from cheating. With server-side saves I hope to transition into a web-portal for servers with character profiles and that sort of stuff.

starcheat is currently incompatiable with Starbound 1.0 - We are currently not accepting issues for Starcheat errors with users running starcheat 0.27 with Starbound 1.0. For updates on 1.0 support, follow issue #282 (early nightly builds with 1.0 support are available).

starcheat is a Starbound player save editor, you can get free pixels with this! (omg)

NOTE: py-starbound is included as a git submodule and needs to be cloned with the following commands:

• cd <starcheat top folder>
• git submodule sync
• git submodule update --init

Applications such as Sourcetree should offer to clone it automatically.
