Nightlies

You can try out the latest in development version (which may not be stable) by following these steps.

Windows: Appveyor artifacts

You can download prebuild nightlies for the latest commit from our Appveyor build bot. Go to https://ci.appveyor.com/project/wizzomafizzo/starcheat/branch/dev choose the build matching your architecture (win32 or win64) and download the latest snapshot from the Artifacts tab.

Mac: Homebrew HEAD build

Follow the steps below to set up our Homebrew tap but instead of installing the stable version run brew install chrmoritz/starcheat/starcheat --HEAD to install the latest nightly.

Linux + all Platforms: Build from source

Follow the steps below to build the dev branch from source.

starcheat's Issues

Item Quantity Overlay for Bag Items

Add a quantity overlay text in the bottom right of each tile saying how much of each item is in that stack. Useful so we don't have to double click each tile to see how many of each item is there.

Workshop Mods don't show in Mod List

Efficient editing addition?

Hey, maybe you could try to add an ability to directly copy jsons over to items, instead of manually copying the text and title.
Or at least possible to open two items at once for copying?

Hotbar cannot be edited

The hotbar doesn't hold items anymore, it's more of a link to items in the inventory. Starcheat will need patching to support this.

Reading player files is incredibly slow

It takes about 4 to 8 minutes for Starcheat to finish reading player files.
I only have two characters, and I've tried to clear their inventories and getting rid of any custom items they have on them, along with removing all mods I have to see if it made it read any faster. No dice.
I've linked others this version of Starcheat and they have no issues with it. What's going on here?

Tech dialog broken

Techs were moved within the player file, and also are no longer items. The tech dialog will need to be overhauled to support the new system.

Crash when using Item Browser

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "build\gui\itembrowser.py", line 159, in update_item_view
  File "build\assets\items.py", line 141, in get_item_icon
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'split'

  File "build\gui\itembrowser.py", line 159, in update_item_view
  File "build\assets\items.py", line 137, in get_item_icon
TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable

No player files detected?

When I run star cheat I receive a pop up that says: No player files dected. Reselect the Starbound Folder?

The folder that was detected by starcheat as the correct folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Starbound

Continually get the same message. So I manually selected the starbound folder, got the same message.

Cheerful Giraffe player file support

• Read nightly files
• Read all inventories correctly
• Support new hotbar
• Use new storage locations as default

Armor and cosmetic slots were separated into individual slots, essentials were separated into individual slots, a new inspectionTool slot was created, two new bags were added, bag was renamed to mainBag, tileBag was renamed to materialBag, wieldable slots were removed, playTime was moved under log. The hotbar no longer actually holds items, but contains a reference to an item in another inventory.

Does not load mods

Certain clothing items prevent Starcheat from loading the character.

Affected items: smartchest (Smart Top)
Possibly more.

Mouse Slot should be removed [Obsolete - 1.0]

Player Description should be removed [Obsolete - 1.0]

New currency format in 1.2

CF added support for multiple currencies, and there's a second currency in vanilla.

New asset format in Cheerful

The asset format was changed from SBBF03 to SBAsset4. It appears that the structure was changed, not just the header. Maybe fallback on extracted assets as a temporary solution?

Some mods' assets can't be decoded

Latest build (pulled 2 hr ago) has a problem with one of the mods:

Most dialogs broken.

Asset browser, appearance, and blueprints dialogs throw an exception when opened:
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

Cancel button of Edit Item dialogue saves changes anyways

Rename Game Mode "Normal" to "Survival", Reshuffle Order

The order should go Casual -> Normal (Survival) -> Hardcore. Currently Hardcore is Second and Normal is Third.

Back items do not render properly.

The back frames are not properly retrieved due to there being another back.frames file in the assets.

Images do not load properly.

None of them. At all.

Add crew editing dialog

Issues interfacing with modded characters/assets

It crashes on start up when loading modded characters
New characters are affected as well. Here's the error information.

It also completely fails to register a modded character that I stripped of all modded items., compare images for details.

Inventory is moved in Nightly

In the nightly versions, the bags are moved from being directly inside inventory to a dict inside inventory called itemBags.

Starcheat Deleted Savefile (kind of)

After using Starcheat and launching the game my savefiles were no longer avaible in the character selection screen. Yet I am still able to load my personal character with Starcheat.

Make Colour Editing easier by means of a colour wheel

Currently you have to edit all values manually, this is is impossibly hard.

Suggestions:

• Add a colour wheel to make replacing colours easier
• Add a preview to view the colour changes

1.2: Modding support for additional currencies, different inventory sizes

Making this work is something that is far beyond my knowledge of Qt, so it's gonna have to wait for someone more talented.

Replace sb_asset with py-starbound

Likely a better and faster implementation.

"About Starcheat" should be updated with updated version number and starbound protocol

Switching Race Causing Color Glitches

Issue details:

Basically what is happening is, and I have not done a ton of testing on this. switching races more than once glitches it out. What it seems to be doing is after you switch from, for instance, Floran to Human as I did on the file I was on and then go back to Floran it does not pull up the hair correctly. I noticed it was doing it with what seemed like most of the other races and strangely enough it seems more localized towards the head section with most races. (With the Avian I did notice it affected both the beak and the mask similarly, however you could color those where in this specific case you could not color the hair at all for some reason. This should be in the log somewhere.) The picture above is what it looks like right after switching races a third time (I am kind of assuming its more than once, I have not noticed it happen on the first switch) and if you go into appearance and switch the hair style it comes in, but it wont let you color some sections.

Starcheat V 0.27.1
(not in any beta) I am assuming stable 1.3.3? Whatever the current one is
Seems it just can't pull up what it needs to for some reason. You can just scroll all the way to the end of the log where I re created the issue.
