Miasmata Fixes

Requirements:

Python 2.7.x (32bit)
Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)

Installation

Add the location of MSVCP90.dll (installed with the C++ 2008 Redistributable Package) to your system path
pip install -r requirements.txt

To build Miaschiev, Miasmod, and Miaspatch, run:
- miaschiev-bbfreeze.py
- miasmod-bbfreeze.py
- miaspatch-bbfreeze.py

Builds are output to the miaschiev, miasmod, and miaspatch directories.

If you get no output, double check you installed the 32bit version of Python.

Miaschiev

This Python application can show the progress towards several achievements:

Shows which parts of the coast have been mapped, and highlights any missing sections.
Shows which urns have been lit, and which ones are remaining. Note that this displays everything listed in the saved game, and in some cases camp fires may show up as well for an unknown reason. It does not yet cross-check these with the urns listed in the game's Markers file.
Shows how many notes have been collected.
Shows the number of unique plants/fungi that have been collected.
If it detects that the glitched Sanchez #1 note has been picked up but was not added to the journal (a bug fixed by Miaspatch), it also gives the option to reset the note so it can be picked up again from the camp where it was originally found.

Miasmod

A Python application for creating game mods. Example mods are available in the mods directory.

Can modify:

environment.rs5
main.rs5
saves.dat

See https://steamcommunity.com/app/223510/discussions/0/630800445647188169/ for more information.

Example mods

ailurophobia.miasmod
- Removes the creature
cartographobia.miasmod
- Prevents map from being filled in when picking up notes
- Removes the effect of the mental clarity tonic (does not remove the tonic itself, only its effect)
- Does not clear any existing map data (requires a new save)
dehydrated.miasmod
- Disables water jugs
- Only allows a single drink of water to be carried in the canteen at a time
insomnia.miasmod
- Disables sleeping in beds
- Removes tiredness
- Has not been tested enough to fully confirm functionality

Miaspatch

A Python application for applying the unofficial community patch.

Changes:

- Botanical Bad A**
- Just doing some light reading?
- Oh, my glorious brain...
- The Bored Cartographer

Fixes mislabeled document on the muscle emphasis drug in the notes index to read endurance emphasis drug
Hammock is now usable as a bed
Patch allowing the game to use 4 GB of memory, fixing some crashes
Removes five urn icons from the map that didn't actually exist in game
Removes unused glance left/right options from the settings menu
Restores missing camp icons that were not present on the map
Ruin near the apple tree can now be used for triangulation

Miasmata Analysis/Modding Tools

These are Python scripts I created to analyse and decode various game files. They were hacked together while I was still in the process of understanding the game's file formats and they are rather messy, probably broken and desperately in need of refactoring and polish. They were first created simply to allow me to better analyse the format of the game files, and the ability to repack some of the files came later.

rs5-extractor.py

This script can extract the contents of an RS5 archive into to a directory, or pack files from a directory into a new RS5 archive. The local file headers are left attached to the extracted files since they are used when repacking the RS5 archive.

It currently cannot manipulate files within an existing archive - the entire archive has to be unpacked and repacked to edit any contained files.

environment.py

This script can decode the game's environment database into human editable JSON, and then re-encode the JSON back into the binary format used by the game.

data.py

This script can decode & re-encode any database used by the game to/from JSON, including the saved games.

markers.py

This script lists and plots the location of items listed in the game's markers file on the game's map. These include things like structures that can be used to triangulate the player's position, creature spawn locations and so on. Strings can be passed in on the command line to only plot certain types of entities.
