BBB NMS Save File Manipulator

Releases: https://github.com/waryder/BBB-NMS-Save-File-Manipulator/releases

Overview

BBB NMS Save File Manipulator is a tool designed to help users manipulate No Man's Sky save files. The primary value adds at this point are one click base sort, drag and drop reordering of bases and starships, and one click comprehensive starship upgrades to your whole fleet.

At this point this is a raw version maybe worthy of evaluation but I do not claim this is production ready. I am releasing and promoting only for the purpose of solciting testing and and review of the current state. I do provide screenshots and help files as a seperate zip file if that's all you would like to look at at first.

DISCLAIMERS: I cannot be held liable for any damage this app causes. Period. I have been a software engineer for over 20 years and while I have a confidence in my work, I also know end users will find every flaw in even the best engineered applications, whereas I am a one man show over here. :) I recommend that you save off back up copies of your save files before you use any editor at all, and be aware that BBB NMS Save File Manipulator must really be used by technical experts only. If you are not super comfortable with JSON files, file manipulation, and all aspects of what you see in the app, just stop and do not use it! If you do find any errors I need to know about, I am BigBuffaloBill over on Discord. But please DO NOT write and tell me I wrecked your game! My answer will be "no problem; just use the backup file I told you to make and go restore yourself." :) I do use this application regularly myself at this point, but I make backups just in case!!

Installation Instructions

On windows there is now a Single File Install .exe file included in the Releases as of v0.1.3-alpha. See below for instructions!

Releases: https://github.com/waryder/BBB-NMS-Save-File-Manipulator/releases

Windows Single File Install

  1. Go to the releases webpage and download bbb-nms-sfm-v0.1.3-alpha.exe (or whatever the latest).
  2. Stick it somewhere in your file system. On the Desktop works for me but some claim to have issues there, so I do recommend putting it in the root of your file system like 'c:\'.
  3. Now run it like any other exe: Create a shortcut to it. Double click it in File Explorer. Run it from a command line terminal. Etc.

***If people want Linux and Mac versions, it can be done. Let me know over on Discord: BigBuffaloBill.

Python Cross Platform Install

All of the following assume a stable python environment. I purposely do not go into the details of setting this up because in honesty my app is intended for techie geeks and if you think python is a snake in the Amazon I'm not sure this method is for you. :)

Along with Python you will need a standard python provided utility called 'pip'. You will see it referenced below. If you find it is not installed with your python by default, you can just run this one time: 'python.exe -m ensurepip --upgrade'.

  1. Download the latest release version of bbb-nms-sfm-v0.1.3-alpha.zip.
  2. Extract the zip file to a folder on your computer.
  3. Open a terminal in the folder where you extracted the files (the same folder where setup.py is located).
  4. Run the following command to install the application:
>pip install .
  1. To run the application, use:
>bbb_nms_sfm
