This script scans a project or a directory for Automapping rules and updates them to ensure they will work consistently with 1.10.3+ Automapping, which changes how empty indices are handled. In any map that has both empty and non-empty output indices, it gives the empty index a name, so that it stays just a regular random index like it was before 1.10.3, instead of becoming a special "always output" layer.

This script scans a project or a directory for Automapping rules and updates them to ensure they will work consistently with 1.10.3+ Automapping, which changes how empty indices are handled.
In any map that has both empty and non-empty output indices, it gives the empty index a name, so that it stays just a regular random index like it was before 1.10.3, instead of becoming a special "always output" index.
In my own testing (two full-fledged projects, one of which has a truckload of Automapping rules, and a testing project made up of dozens of maps from/for people who needed help on Discord and the forum), only one map actually needed to be changed, according to the report the script outputs to the console. I suspect most people won't actually need this script because I think people tend to name all output indices in maps with multiple indices, but it should provide peace of mind.
