SUMMERHOUSE: Save File Editing (Merging Saves, Adding global offset (Translation), Changing Map)[WIP]

null

Windows: C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\LocalLow\Friedemann\SUMMERHOUSE\Save
Mac: Dunno

These are Python scripts so you need to have Python installed.
If not already installed, download and install the latest Python version from here https://www.python.org/downloads/ .

The scripts can be executed over commandline. I will show examples further below (don’t be afraid!).

Download the scripts und put them in the save file folder:
1) Go to https://github.com/Tjerbor/SUMMERHOUSE-Save-File-Editor .
2) Click on the greem button <> Code.
3) Select “Download Zip” at the bottom of the drop-down menu and save somewhere on your computer.
4) Open/Extract Zip file.
5) Copy “add_offset.py”, “change_map.py” and “merge.py” into the save file folder.

Here’s how you can easily start cmd on Windows 10 directly in the save folder:
Just type “cmd” in the path bar there.

Some simple CMD tips:

• Type for example “me” and then TAB to autocomplete to “merge.py”.
• Use the up and down arrow keys to access previous used commands.

A postive change in the X coordinate results in a shift to the right.
A negative change in the X coordinate results in a shift to the left.

A postive change in the Y coordinate results in an upward shift.
A negative change in the Y coordinate results in a downward shift.

A postive change in the Z coordinate pushes the objects further away.
A negative change in the Z coordinate pulls the objects closer.
(Depth)

You can actually measure distances yourself with this block:
It’s almost exactly the size of one unit, so if you chain them like this you can measure distances:
In this example it the offset would be (if looking from the left top):

• x = (4 + 3) = 7
• y = (-3 – 4) = -7

Unfortunately i have no solution to measuring depth (y) values.

This one is so simple that it isn’t really necessary but sitll faster than doing it by hand.
It allows you to change the map of a chosen save file. At the end of the save file there’s an attribute called “mapName”. There are four maps to chose from:

1. Lake
2. Grass
3. City
4. Desert

How to use change_map.py:

The map name is case-sensitive

Example:
This changes the map of saveFile3.json to “City”

Take a look at how coordinates work in SUMMERHOUSE first.

How to use add_offset.py:
The offsets can be postive and negative integers or floating points.

Example:
This command shifts all blocks from saveFile3.json

You can pass multiple options to merge.py i will provide examples for all of them.
