(DevTool) Programmable Block auto-reload

This mod is for programmable block developers and only works with files from player-host, therefore it should not be used in MP/DS.


You can type /pbq in game chat to see these instructions there aswell.

1. Place the script(s) in:
%appdata%\SpaceEngineers\Storage\2999829512.sbm_PBQuickLoad\
With any file name you wish, but they must not be in subfolders.

There's a few ways of automatically placing the script there, see the sections below for that.

2. In game edit PB's CustomData to contain:
Nothing is case-sensitive here.
It's using MyIni so your script's config can still be in the same CustomData.

3. You're done!
That file is loaded every 100 ticks in a thread and compared against current script, if it differs then it will replace the script in PB and recompile it. It also prints a chat message when it does this.


If using MDK2 you can change where the script is placed by editing the *.mdk.local.ini file from your project.
Inside that file, the output= key can be set to the real path.

To get the real path first paste %appdata%\SpaceEngineers\Storage\2999829512.sbm_PBQuickLoad\ in folder explorer and press enter, after that you can copy the path it went to and paste that in the output's value.


The file can be linked to storage folder using symbolic linking.

A GUI-friendly way is with a program like Link Shell Extension[schinagl.priv.at] which adds itself to rightclick menu so it's a matter of drag with rightclick and drop as symbolic link.
I've personally used this software for years so I sure as heck hope it's safe =)

Can also be done manually via admin commandline (you should google this yourself as there's many ways of explaining it, in all the different levels of knowledge).
A quick example of the command:
