I dont see any instructions on how to run this. How do you run it?

Can't believe it took me this long to notice there's an issue here.

Okay so first of all, there's little to no information given here. The application is primarily intended for use in a reasonably modern Windows, like Windows 7 at the very least, and given the lack of info I can only assume you're using Windows. If you use MacOS or Linux it may still run after a fashion but I'm not gonna explain how if it's not even needed.

One other way to parse the issue is that there's no binaries to download and you have no idea what to do with the source code. The latest build would be over here: https://helmet.kafuka.org/sbmods/SBCharCreator.zip

That leaves the interpretation "I can technically run this but I don't know how to set things up." In that case, look at the file sources.txt. I'd hoped it's fairly self-explanatory. If you have Starbound installed via Steam in the default locations, C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Starbound\ ought to be correct. If that's not where your copy of Starbound is, this is where you'd change it.

Then you just run the thing and you're off.

add the fact that you need to manually set the correct paths in the path file if you have starbound on a non-OS drive

That's kinda covered by what I said though?
