▌Xbuilder — Overview
Price: 30€ Yearly license
[ Wall Building ]
• Create perfectly aligned vertical walls
• Supports mannequins and tribute terminals
• Configurable dimensions, spacing, offsets, and starting height
• Yaw only placement keeps walls straight without requiring a leader
[ Horizontal Building ]
• Create horizontal mannequin or terminal grids
• Configurable spacing, height, and starting position
• Useful for custom caves, floors, barriers, and decorative builds
[ Custom Text ]
• Generate words using mannequin actors
• Configurable Windows font and safety limits
• Select font size and scaling directly through the command
• Supports text containing multiple words
[ Conversion & Cleanup ]
• Convert mannequins into terminals and terminals into mannequins
• Preserves exact position, rotation, scale, and ownership
• Convert within a radius or across the entire map
• Delete only the selected Xbuilder actor type
[ Performance & Safety ]
• Large builds are processed in controlled batches
• Prevents multiple heavy building operations from overlapping
• Admin-only access
• Exact actor matching avoids modifying normal world terminals
• Configurable command names and placement geometry
