I created a Program that allows to edit the files "BiomeMobWeight.csv" and "StructMobWeight.csv" easily! :)

Hello!

First of all, I apologize if I posted this in the wrong place. This was the most appropriate place I could think of to post it, since it's a simple little program. Feel free to notify me or remove this Issue if there is any inconvenience.

I created a program called "SBUEditor" that allows you to edit the files "BiomeMobWeight.csv" and "StructMobWeight.csv" easily, through a friendly and intuitive User Interface. I initially created the program because I needed to add new monsters to ALL the game's Biomes and it would be a very complicated task to do manually, in addition to leaving room for errors due to repetition.

Because of this problem, I thought it would be best to create a software that would automate the process and reduce the margin of error to zero. Initially I thought about making something just for myself, but since the program turned out really well, I decided to share it with everyone who uses the "Spawn Balance Utility" mod!

Main Features

• Displays the biomes/structures from the CSV file on the left side and the Spawn entries separated by biomes/structures.
• Allows you to add a new entrie to a single biome/structure.
• Allows you to edit a entrie of a single biome/structure.
• Allows you to remove multiple entries of a single biome/structure.
• Allows you to search for biomes/structures that have Spawn for a specific creature.
• Allows you to add the same creature to ALL biomes at once.
• Allows you to add the same creature to ALL biomes that have another specific creature, at once.
• Allows you to edit a specific creature in ALL biomes in which it spawns.
• Allows you to remove a specific creature from ALL biomes in which it spawns.

How To Use

To use, simply download the executable "SBUEditor.exe" and place it inside the "config/spawnbalanceutility" folder that the Spawn Balance Utility mod generates. Then, simply run "SBUEditor.exe". SBUEditor will automatically create the CSV files based on the RPT files, if there are no CSV files already created.

Requirements

The program requires Windows OS and ".NET 6.0" installed on your computer. You can download it here...

Thanks for the great work on this mod! It saved my modpack! :)

The program expects to find "RPT" files generated by SBU, inside your folder. The reason for the error is that instead of RPT files, there are only TXTs, possibly because the version of your SBU is old.

I'm using the most recent version of fabric

I see... Unfortunately I don't know how the Fabric version works. I only use Forge/NeoForge.

Thats okay! Thanks for making this really useful tool regardless

That's really impressive, I don't mind if you tell folks about it on curseforge in a post there too.

Yes, Some (mostly older) versions of SBU output report files with the ".txt" ending while other (mostly newer) versions of SBU output report files with .rpt. This was my attempt to resolve the confusion of people who thought the .txt files were configuration files.

Now, the easiest way to edit the files is with a spreadsheet program (LibreOffice is free) if you know how to use a spreadsheet. But your editor is cool and has a place.

I will slowly be working my way back through older versions of SBU and change .txt to .rpt in the older versions once I'm caught up ( but I have another eye surgery in march and minecraft 1.20.5 is out any day now so it won't be before summer).

Version 1.21.1 Fabric will use .rpt. I've converted three fabric mods now about 5 more to go.

My first attempt at the fabric SBU conversion to 1.21.5 standard mapping failed magnificantly... It blew up, and sunk slowly under the waves. I'll be trying to convert it again after a few other conversions.

Anybody having issues with this error DESPITE having all rpt files, make sure that your "BiomeMobWeight" is NOT suffixed with .csv, then it should work (obviously the program should be in the SpawnBalanceUtility" folder as well)
