Modding Scripts Bag

WHAT IS THIS?

I've been running into errors with using mods. It seems that two dependencies of many mods - Json Override Framework and External Audio Framework may be broken thus causing the issue.

Many game files are in JSON5 format and mods change those to add new items / modify existing ones.

Multiple mods require JSON5 of vanilla + different mods to be merged while Vortex handles rest of the files.

So, I made several scripts to use mods and also some scripts for personal use.

Game Json files can be found in <Game_Folder>/ZS_vanilla/gamedata

Save file location can be found in C:\Users\<User_Name>\AppData\Local\ZERO_Sievert\<Steam_ID>\save_shared_<slot_number>.dat

Keep backups.

SCRIPTS:

Merge JSON Files – Combines vanilla and modded files for seamless integration.

Edit JSON Fields – Adjusts values like stack size, weight, and damage.

Track New IDs – Detects new modded items that may break saves.

Alphabetic Sort - Sorts Json5 files alphabetically - so you can compare the changes you've made easily.

Texture Renamer - Old mods have textures in old format. This causes game crash - game cannot identify them. This script renames the textures.

# Deprecated since game uses Json5 - format not important

Fix JSON Formatting – Removes trailing commas to prevent errors.

HOW TO RUN:

1. Right Click -> Run as Administrator -> run.exe

2. Load JSON File -> scripts_config.json

3. Choose script to use -> Set field values -> Run

# Run also saves changed field values before running script. There is OPTIONALLY a Save button to the right.

OPTIONAL- Directly edit game file fields:

1. Right Click -> Run as Administrator -> run.exe

2. Load JSON File -> Any Game JSON

3. Manually edit values as desired -> Save
