Grid Hideout and Object Shifter

Hey folks!

I decided to start working on a hideout and wanted to make sure thing were all lined up correctly. As such I wrote a quick and dirty script that would place an ancient vessel at even spacing across the whole hideout.

I don't now if there's any demand for this but I wanted to share it in case it helped someone.

This is for the Vast Plains hideout but could be used for any of the 'endless' hideout squares by editing the file from

"hideout_name": "Vast Plains Hideout",
"hideout_hash": 5889,

to whatever the name and hash are for your hideout.

Another thing I found myself realising is that I sometimes built too close to the edge of the map and needed to move everything over. I didn't want to do it manually and I wanted everything to stay in the same relative positions.

As such I wrote another script to 'scoot' everything over. You provide the script the file name along with the X and Y shift. It then goes through every object and moves it by the requested amount

After Shift:


This script (And the one I used to make the grid) can be found at https://github.com/MJGudgin/HideoutTools

Again I don't know if this would be of use to anyone but I know I've found it helpful.

Disclaimer: The script does not check if something moved out of map. If something moves off map it will be 'deleted' on import



Have a great New Year!

P.S. To anyone who reads the code please don't judge my shitty scripting
