How to use it

First-time setup

0. Make sure you have Java installed
1. Download the latest version (The .jar file): https://github.com/Log234/Schematic-Converter/releases
2. Place it in an empty folder
3. Double-click the file to run it
4. This will generate a file named BlockIDs.json, you may edit this file to customize which blocks the program should convert between. Minecraft IDs on the left, Colony survival IDs on the right. (You can use block IDs from your CS mods here, although modded blocks with a direction, like stairs and such, are not guaranteed to be placed in the right direction.)

Usage

1. To start the program, simply double-click the .jar file
2. A file selection window will open. Here you may select one or more Minecraft Schematics files to convert into Colony Survival blueprints
3. The program will then ask you for a name for the blueprint. This is the name that will be showed in game for the en-US localization.
4. Now the program will ask you for a height offset. This allows you to choose move the blueprint up or down by a number of blocks, in case the blueprint includes a cellar, or is supposed to hang up in the air.
5. Now you are asked how many workers you will want to divide the blueprint between. This is in case you have a big blueprint that would take a long time to build for a single colonist. (More details on this later)
6. And finally it asks you where to save the file, please navigate to where your blueprints folder and give the file a name. (Your blueprints folder is generally located in "Steam\SteamApps\common\Colony Survival\gamedata\mods\Scarabol\Construction\blueprints")

(The program will slightly change the format of the file to fit the naming scheme used by Scarabol's Construction Mod)

Division of a blueprint on multiple workers

If you chose to divide the blueprint on more than one colonist there will be several files stored in the blueprints folder. They will be named <The filename you chose>_ptX.json, where X is the part number. Each of those files are a part of your blueprint, and they fit together like a puzzle.

Here is how to use them:

1. When you get in-game, you will notice that you have several new blueprints named <The blueprint name you chose> part x. Where x is the part number.
2. Request them to be built, the same way as all other blueprints.
3. Here comes the important bit: To build the blueprint, place all the blueprint parts side-by-side, from part 1 to however many pieces you decided to split them into. If you place them in the right order and leave no gap in-between them, they should produce the full blueprint.
