Stranded II Mod Viewer
Why?
When I was growing, a fantastic step in understanding various 3D modelling file formats came in the form of an open source first person shooter survival and crafting game that stole my heart for its simplicity yet versatility. This was Stranded 2. I played this game for months before the sheer difficulty of trying to discover undocumented functions led me to joining the forum and found that much of the game is deliberately undocumented. Not only that, the game allows for large scale modifications of the game via rescripting of the game files that are simple text files but in a new and interesting way. This meant that there were many mods of the game which greatly expanded on the original experience and were worthwhile playing that still suffered from the same lack of documentation and held me back in the original. So I started working on a solution.Originally, I just wanted to create something to tell me what items I needed to combine to get better items without asking on the forum or trawling through stale text files...
What?
With the help of DC, the game creator and Builder, the creator of "Massive Mod", I have created an application that reads the game files of most mods (dependant on both complexity and poor scripting). It can detect and inform of some basic errors in the game files, helping modders refine their mods. It also gives an informative display of the items, objects, buildings, combinations and units so new players might find this useful as a guiding tool. I've also included intuitive controls for navigating around different pages and objects, custom columns with item count, ID, effects and more are displayed in a simplistic and easy to read way.License
