Download (https://github.com/SafariJohn/Rules-Tool/raw/main/SRT%202.4.0.zip)
Source Code (https://github.com/SafariJohn/Rules-Tool/raw/main/SRT%202.4.0%20src.zip)
Ever took a glance in rules.csv and NOPED right back out? Well no more! With this tool you can easily view, create, and edit rules to your heart's content. Consult the readme's Getting Started section if you have any trouble figuring things out.
Please report any bugs you find either here or on the Unofficial Starsector Discord (mention me @SafariJohn#5061).
This program does not officially support Mac. However, it should work correctly if run from the command line - see the readme's Installation section.

What people have said about SRT:
Okay so I already can't work on rules without this tool, so thanks for that! -Tartiflette
This is really good. rules.csv is a real pain to navigate using normal spreadsheet editors and I look forward to being able to work with it using a more user-friendly tool. -Inventor Raccoon
When Rules were introduced, I remember having to code around that.
This is a big improvement, merely being able to parse through Rules without too much mess and being able to see the relationships clearly. -xenoargh
Great work, very intuitive.
Able to refactor and reorganise very quickly, maybe won't be chugging milk through my nostrils before 40. -Armithaig
HOLY ***
never letting John's editor go, ever
I just saw my whole modding life improving drastically -joaonunes

Version 0.2.0
- Initial release for 0.9a.
files.addAll(Arrays.asList(rootDirectory.listFiles()));
Collections.sort(files); // Sort file collection.
Do not believe listFiles() guarantees any order so have to be sorted somehow, handling files is always weird between OS', Windows gave you in order I suppose.
Works now (https://i.imgur.com/w2Gj36h.png).
Running it natively, just added SRT.sh with this to folder.
But really doesn't save much typing.
No trouble, project's pretty well organised.
Some java applications bundle the JRE they're built against in case it can't be found on the target machine, Starsector's in ./jre_linux, but's ~130mb by default for 1.7.
Not reasonable for smaller apps. Modding Starsector, they'll have Java installed anyhow. Simple shell file will be fine.
Linux version of this game also runs through a shell file, but slightly different approach. Some hotspot VM options, -classpath with all the jars to reference, defines some paths and then shoves it on with com.fs.starfarer.StarfarerLauncher.
EDIT: Shot pull request your way. Added directory conditions.

Only works one way currently (export), will get around to muffin' with the imports as well but've gotta cook dinner.
