EmpyrionStuff

This is a collection of tools that can be used to work with some of the file formats used in Empyrion Galacitc Survival.

epb

A command line tool that parses EPB blueprint files. It can also create rudimentarty blueprints.

• Dump textual content of an EPB file
• Create EPB files
  • Set blueprint type
  • Set Width, Height and Depth
  • Set block to use (For Box and BoxFrame)
  • Set block variant to use (For Box and BoxFrame)
  • Set CreatorId
  • Set CreatorName
  • Set OwnerId
  • Set OwnerName
  • BaseBox: Generate a box of a given size, solid or hollow
  • BoxFrame: Generate the "wireframe" of a box of a given size
  • BasePyramid: Generate a pyramid with sloped sides of a given size, solid or hollow
  • BaseBlockTypes: Generate a series of blocks of increasing type ids. Most likely generates an EPB that can't be spawned. Debug only.

EPBLab

A Windows application with a graphical user interface for examining, modifying or creating EPB files.

• General
  • Create structures such as:
    • Box: Creates a box within the current blueprint
      • Origin - Position of bottom, left, back corner
      • Size - Width, height and depth in blocks
      • Hole size - Width, height and depth of a box hole at the centre of the box. Leave 0 for no hole
      • Hollow - Make the structure hollow
      • Thick shell - Make sure that there are no "diagonal gaps" in the shell
      • Topless - Cut off the top half of the structure
    • Box frame: Creates a frame outline of a box in the current blueprint
      • Origin - Position of bottom, left, back corner
      • Size - Width, height and depth in blocks
    • Pyramid: Creates a pyramid with 45 degree slopes in the current blueprint
      • Origin - Position of bottom, left, back corner
      • Size - Length of the side of the base square in blocks
      • Hollow - Make the structure hollow
    • Sphere: Creates a sphere in the current blueprint
      • Origin - Position of bottom, left, back corner of the bounding box
      • Diameter - Outer diameter in blocks
      • Hole diameter - Diameter a spherical hole at the centre of the sphere. Leave 0 for no hole
      • Hollow - Make the structure hollow
      • Thick shell - Make sure that there are no "diagonal gaps" in the shell
      • Topless - Cut off the top half of the structure
    • Cylinder: Creates a cylinder in the current blueprint
      • Origin - Position of bottom, left, back corner of the bounding box
      • Diameter - Outer diameter in blocks
      • Hole diameter - Diameter a cylindrical hole at the centre of the cylinder. Leave 0 for no hole
      • Hollow - Make the structure hollow
      • Thick shell - Make sure that there are no "diagonal gaps" in the shell
      • Topless - Cut off the top half of the structure
    • Core: Places a core in the current blueprint
      • Origin - Position of core
    • Core + Lever: (Debug) Create a core and a lever in the current blueprint
    • Hull variants: (Debug) Creates one block of each variant for Hull*Small* blocks. Spaced out in a grid
    • All blocks: (Debug) Creates one block, variand 0, of each block type that is allowed in the current blueprint. Spaced out in a grid
• Summary
  • EPB file version
  • Blueprint type (Voxel, Base, Hover vessel, Small vessel or Capital vessel)
  • Dimensions
  • Counters
  • Block type counts
  • Meta tags
  • Device groups
• 3D view of blocks
• Tree view of blocks
  • Categories
  • Displays content of LCD screens
  • Displays block tags
  • Identifies selected block in the 3D view
• Graph of logic nodes
  • Drag nodes around
• Lists of signal sources, signal targets and circuits

EPBLib

A library for parsed EmPyrion Blueprints.

• Read EPB files up to version 26 (Not all files are read completely)
• Write EPB files as version 26
• Get/set blueprint type ("Voxel", "Base", "Small vessel", "Capital vessel" or "Hover vessel")
• Get/set blueprint dimensions
• Compute dimensions from the current blocks
• Add/modify/remove meta tags (Such as "Creator name", "Group name", "Spawn name", "Ground offset", etc)
• Get/set various counters
• Manually access block type counts (Add/modify/remove)
• Count blocks, attempts to group types that should be grouped but this is not 100% correct yet
• Device groups
  • Add/modify/remove device groups and device group entries
  • Get/set device group names
  • Get/set shortcut connected to the control panel
  • Get/set the device entry block reference
• Blocks
  • Access block by position or iterate over all blocks
  • Add/modify/remove blocks (Adding can be done with single or a list)
  • Get/set block type and block variant (child shape)
  • Lookups for block type id and names as found in Config_Example.ecf (And some other sources)
  • Lookups for block variants as found in BlockShapesWindow.ecf (And some other sources)
  • Incomplete groupings for which block types are allowed in which blueprint types
  • Incomplete groupings for counting block types
  • Get/set block position
  • Get/set block rotation
  • Get/set damage state
  • Get/set colour indices for each side of the block
  • Get/set texture indices for all sides of the block
  • Get/set texture flip state for all sides of the block
  • Get/set symbol indices for all sides of the block
  • Get/set symbol rotation for all sides of the block
