I'm creating a set of tools to more easily work with the JSON data of scenarios and other mods (currently only tools for scenarios).

Introducing Scenario Tool!

A tool for managing and modifying Sins of a Solar Empire 2 scenarios.

• Load scenarios via drag & drop
• Save scenarios to custom locations
• Direct integration with Steam and Epic game directories
• Support for both chart and generator scenario types
• Auto-detection of scenario type

• Interactive galaxy map visualization
• Node selection and multi-selection
• Direct property editing
• Visual node position adjustment
• Display options for:
  • Grid
  • Orbits
  • Star lanes
  • Wormholes
  • Regular lanes

• Add new properties to nodes
• Change existing property values
• Move nodes to new parents
• Remove nodes
• Batch operations on multiple nodes
• Filter nodes by properties:
  • Multiple filter conditions
  • Numeric comparisons
  • String matching

• Save scenarios as reusable templates
• Organize templates by type (chart/generator)
• User and community template sections
• Quick loading of common scenario setups

• Apply Python scripts to modify scenarios
• Separate script sections for chart and generator scenarios
• User and community script directories
• Real-time script directory monitoring
• Community scripts for common operations:
  • System flattening (moving all systems to the root node)
  • Wormhole pairing
  • Node removal

1. Download scenario-tool.exe from GitHub Releases
2. Place the downloaded .exe file in your desired location

   • Shift+click or click+drag to multi-select
   • Edit properties in the Node Details panel
   • Drag nodes to move them

3. Batch Operations

   • Use filters to select nodes
   • Apply operations to all selected nodes
   • Available operations:
     • Add properties
     • Change values
     • Move nodes
     • Remove nodes

4. Saving Work

   • Save directly to game directories
   • Place scenarios in the user templates directory for easy access
   • All changes are automatically saved in the working directory

5. Updating Community Content and Applying Scripts

   • Use the "Get Community Content" button to update the community templates and scripts
   • When an update is available, a notification will appear at launch
