TkTech / starhopper

A Python library for parsing Bethesda game files, and a Qt-based GUI to go with it.

Starhopper

Starhopper is a tool for extracting data from Bethesda's Starfield game. It:

• Provides a low level Python library for reading the game's data files.
• Provides a Qt-based GUI for exploring the game's data files.

This tool is currently in early development. The game quite literally just got released.

Getting It

There's no reason binary releases can't be made for this project. It works on Linux, Windows, and Mac. However, it's not yet at a stage where that is worthwhile.

In the meantime, you can get it from pypi:

pip install starhopper

And if you want the GUI:

pip install starhopper[gui]

Support

This project is brand new and everything is from scratch, so compatibility is an ongoing effort. If you have a file that doesn't work, please open an issue and attach the file. I'll try to get it working as soon as possible.

Right now, the project is only tested against Starfield. Patches for older Bethesda games are welcome.

Included parsers:

Format	Version(s)	Note
