Starbound mod: DynamicSpawn

Using JavaScript, XSLT, CSS, HTML, XML, and C# to provide a smooth experiance.

Instead of creating 2.5E+27 mods just for the 91 listed species, this dynamic mod allows the user to add species to spawn in vanilla maps. No, I have not looked into how to hack or use vanrabilities. Feel free to look at the code and scan it with any antivirus/antimalware program. Why C#? This is the best script that I know of that can mass replace values in files so I can easly create a tool to change the JSON.patch files while interacting with the web component. The web site uses advanced tequniques that I would have been unable to use in C# or any other language.

How to use

1. Go to releases and donload the latest version (5.0 or higher) and save to to your starbound mods folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound\mods\)
2. Right click the file and click Extract All and then OK 2.1) Remove the .zip file
3. Open the new folder and run the .exe file
4. The program will open https://zekrom-vale.github.io/DynamicSpawn with the location of the .exe file to ease downloads
5. Follow directions on the website 5.1) Remove the .exe file

Bugs/Notes

• If you discover empty 'dungeons' like the space station and ships it is a bug! HOWEVER,
• You might have added invalid species or ones that are not installed.
• Manual mode does not check for errors

linux and macOS

Sorry, but I do not know any language that would work on those systems. Other than the web component (No editing files).
