Changing light to Heavy blocks

[Doobie]

Since SEToolbox has been discontinued does anyone have a solution?

Hi, I would ask the kind Modders on Keen Discord, they are helping members in the "Modding" channels almost every days over there.

You can use SEToolbox to perform this function.

When I launch SETools It's not working. There is also a post on their page saying it's been discontinued since the new update.

Yes no more SEToolbox updates from Midspace the author but rexxar is working on a new version and may share when done so keep an eye on that Modder.

Do you want to do this to a structure within a save, or to a blueprint ?

If it is a blueprint, changing all the armour blocks from light to heavy is actually relatively trivial. Delete the bp.sbcB5 protobuffer file from the blueprint (assuming the bp was made in the current version - if it's a much older bp this will be absent) then open the bp.sbc in your usual text editor, and do a search and replace operation...

replace all instances of <SubtypeName>LargeBlockArmorBlock

with <SubtypeName>LargeHeavyBlockArmorBlock

save and exit... job done ^.^ (standard precautions apply - take a backup copy first ;)

if your ship is symmetrical, just use the setting that mirrors placement and removing on each side and go block by block. it might not be the fastest thing ever but it works.

What if i want to do this to a structure within a save, so i can continue to update its blueprint on my workshop?

@R3V01UT10N

Another kind member is maintaining a new SEToobox that a lot are using already, it may not be up to date cause I think he will update with the next major game update

Not sure if he updated it but you may try and he will surely update soon if not uptodate.

Follow the installation steps (scroll down) and download SEToolbox form there :

Usually the OP (You) hit the report Flag and ask me to lock or I lock because too much of community reports about "Necroing" old dead discussion.

I can lock if you want me to!

I prefer to keep only the discussions with the current month date to add to my monthly report to the SE Team.
