i actually don't remember vanilla item descriptions, and since my items are only used for events, they have strange flowery descriptions

is there anyone here using the 1.6.9 beta who can check something in ilspy real quick?
there's a custom-tool-related bug in 1.6.8 and I want to know if it's been fixed in 1.6.9

brittle pasture
#

sure what are you checking

gaunt orbit
#

in 1.6.8, calling GetOne() on a tool does not copy InstantUse, which means sometimes the game will create glitched tools

#

(specifically Tool.GetOneCopyFrom())

brittle pasture
#

doesn't seem like it's fixed

#

thanks, I'll report it on the forum then

#

or maybe I should just ping pathos for this one, since it's a technical change that doesn't affect vanilla

#

@ivory plume There's a small bug in both 1.6.8 and 1.6.9 affecting custom tools- Tool.GetOneCopyFrom() does not copy InstantUse, which can lead to glitched tools under certain circumstances. (IE. animating when the tool data says they should be instant.)
It's not noticeable with vanilla tools because the Wand sets InstantUse in the constructor anyways, but it does affect tools from mods.

Hello, how are you?

Is there any documentation on how to create mods that fulfill the following function:

I want to create a machine that produces an artisan product by placing two ingredients (there should be three but I'll explain later) and then gives us a product based on them.

  1. Perhaps the easiest way is to create it as a recipe

The product is created with sugar and milk, it also has vanilla essence. But in the base game there is no vanilla plant, which would lead me to create the plant and integrate it into the mod, which should be easier than the other option, using the vanilla plant from another mod (I think cornucopia has one) and making my mod compatible with it so that it uses it.

If anyone can help me or guide me, I would really appreciate it. I was already helped previously with a visual issue by suggesting that I use a mod called nightshade and it helped me a lot, so I ask for your good will and solidarity again.

lucid iron
#

it's possible to do this with just content patcher, but you can use extra machine configs if you want your machine to take 1 main ingredient + 2 fuel

brittle pasture
#

(depends on if they want their machine to have other ingredients that use other fuels)

lucid iron
#

as for the vanilla ingredient, you can have the machine check for vanilla_item context tag

#

following cornucopia's setup

drowsy pewter
#

you're welcome to duplicate cornucopia's vanilla code and art (as per our permissions). if you use the same item ids, then players with both mods will only have one vanilla item instead of two

#

definitely up to you

#

for documentation

#

you can do it either with a machine or with a recipe, it depends more on how you want it to feel for players.

#

To match the base game, it would be more appropriate to do a recipe, but there are many mods with complicated machine products like that, so its personal choice

old edge
#

I had an idea of adding a light source around the new item I made. Do I need C# for this?

ornate trellis
#

random question but is there a vanilla event where the farmer laughs

brittle pasture
#

Big Craftables you can just set the light source field in their data

For locational dialogue, do y'all include the coordinates or just do the generic map location? Idk if the "beach" is the proper location for the beach. (also thank you tiakall)

#

could spice it up a bit more maybe, but that I can do later. now onto finding out how to change dispo stuff to have the change happen after this heart event thonking

inland cedar
#

do .modData sync in multiplayer? for example Chest.modData["key"]

next plaza
#

Yes

#

Though keep in mind if editing modData on Farmer, that you can only edit it for the local player, not other ones

lucid iron
#

hm then you need to use harmony to patch in the light source bit bolbthinking

#

pathos, i wondered

#

i tried having a small hasmod check on an include for an inmutable patch of another token (that was inside the include)

#

and apparently, it's either directly on the patched content or as a dependency, i wondered why include check wasn't enough, because it's checked at another level?

#

like, once its checked, you don't "retain" what was checked, for ex?

Hello there!
I'm working on a mod in CP, a machine to sort mixed seeds. I want to have several variants of the machine itself, that will use the same config and do the same thing, while the only think different would be the texture used for sprites (that I want to base on the recipe used to create the variant). Is there an easy way to achieve that without having to copy the config to each BigCraftable separately? (So far I got stuck on the fact that each machine variant has to use separate ID, which means that in theory I would have to insert config for each ID into "Machines" - and I really want to avoid it, it's complicated already 😅)
Any suggestions welcome, thank you in advance! 🥰

hallow prism
#

why not just making an AT pack for your mod?

#

(alternative Texture)

brave dove
brittle pasture
#

Probably not, but AT is still the best option for that kind of thing I think
you can make your one machine have multiple recipes if you want

hallow prism
#

AT let the user choose, usually

real kiln
#

Anyone know why this is occuring?

image.png
lucid iron
#

you didnt define this method

real kiln
#

oh is it cause I used OnChatMessagedRecieved and not OnButtonPressed? Sorry am new !

uncut viper
#

the thing you add to the ButtonPressed is just a function you create

#

it doesnt need to be called "OnButtonPressed" its just common

#

if you wrote a function called ThingsToDoWhenButtons() then you'd add it like helper.Events.Input.ButtonPressed += this.ThingsToDoWhenButtons;

#

(ofc make sure to include the right parameters in the signature)

real kiln
#

Okay I got you! yeah cause I am using OnChatMessageRecieved lol! appreciate it

uncut viper
#

you wont be able to use your OnChatMessageReceived function as a button pressed event bc it doesnt take the right arguments

real kiln
#

Yep noticing that, so do I even need to use it?

lucid iron
#

i dont think there's a ChatMessageRecieved event

uncut viper
#

i dont know what you want to do with it

#

but yes like chue said there is no chatmessagereceived in the API either

#

cant make up an API function that doesnt exist

lucid iron
#

you have to harmony patch ChatBox.textBoxEnter or similar

calm nebula
#

I mean, you don't have to harmony patch that

#

(Chatbox.chatbox.OnEnterPressed is a possibility as an event to listen to.)

#

it looks to me like chatboxen are created when saves are loaded and destroyed when you go back to title, so you have to do it as a SaveLoaded....and I guess you have to do some reflection bullshit to be ahead of the other event listener, huh

#

anyways.

#

harmony's probably easier SDVpufferthumbsup

real kiln
#

Idk I been struggling all day and night with just trying to get it to read if input is "/spawn" lol

#

damn

lucid iron
#

tbh it's much easier to just make a console command

real kiln
#

yeah im starting to realize that lol

lucid iron
#

how much do you want it to be chat box event?

uncut viper
#

it would actually be really simple to harmony postfix the runCommand function

real kiln
#

i just wanted to make a simple mod that if I do in game "/spawn (item ID)" so that way when i make a different mod I can just load the item in lol

uncut viper
#

that function gets called whenever a chat message is sent that starts with a /

#

and the command is passed to it

#

its just a big switch statement

lucid iron
#

oh for something like that u can use cjb spawner

#

or the player_add console command

uncut viper
#

(that said i would also just really recommend cjb item spawner instead too)

real kiln
#

Yeah I just wanted to try my own I didnt think it would be this difficult hahaha

#

yeah I might just get it

#

Okay if thats the case, do you guys know whats something easier to make for first time? Like a c# one, like something i dont need to publish but try out lol

calm nebula
#

like, yes, it's great! But also, like,

#

I've seen enough scary harmony bugs that when there is a nice event to listen to...

uncut viper
#

i mean i agree that no harmony is preferable to harmony i was just saying its not that much more work than making a console command when theres a nice function already there for you

#

esp when it can be done with a super safe postfix

real kiln
#

i dont even know what harmony is so maybe i stay away for now lol

lucid iron
#

i think you may want to just run through standard learn C# things if you never programmed before

real kiln
#

Yeah so I go back to college this term in 2 weeks for programming so been trying to get things learned before hand!

Problems at at line 138, 217 and 296. Basically the recipe for Raw Brisket works just fine using oil as the first ingredient, but then the next three that also use oil don't work and i'm not sure how to fix it

📎 Machines.json
rancid temple
#

!json easier sharing

ocean sailBOT
#

JSON is a standard format for machine-readable text files that's used by Stardew Valley mods.

If you need help with a JSON file, you can upload it to smapi.io/json to see automatic validation and share the link here.

When making mods, it's recommended to edit your files in a text editor with JSON support, such as VS Code, Notepad++, or Sublime Text. These programs will check for syntax errors.

To use this command, type !json.
modest dagger
#

thanks one sec

rancid temple
#

I feel like the required item should be the meat and the extra cost should be the oil

modest dagger
#

when I do it like that tho it just ignores the oil and only does the basic recipe

brittle pasture
#

Follow Rokugin's advice, but also...
you have multiple trigger rules using Oil as the primary input. Only the first one will be used.
You need to use the same OutputRule, and add multiple OutputItem with different fuels

real kiln
#

Okay wait you guys said spawning an item using chatbox event a little difficult to start off, do you guys think adding a new special powered book is a good place to start?

modest dagger
#

lemme wrap my head around what you said, so currently I have 4 separate recipes all using the same thing. But with your mod I need to do it so like this one item uses each plant to get a different outcome, so like instead of 4 separate recipes using oil it's 1 with 4 variants?

uncut viper
#

depends what you want the book to do

real kiln
#

Ill just make a new book with something easy to add, like a book that doubles experienced gain from mining or maxs your profession

#

if that is easy lol

brittle pasture
#

It's not specific to my mod - if you have multiple entries in the output rules array, the first eligible one will be picked and the others are ignored

lucid iron
#

remember to account for per screen data for exp gain

real kiln
#

will keep that in mind! ill try to add a book in lol

uncut viper
#

tbh i dont know enough about netarrays to know if you can listen to an event on the mining netint inside it specifically so my first thought is a simple harmony patch but then i can feel atra's spirit looming over me in disappointment

#

though is it a UI Info Suite th ing that shows the amount of experience you gain above your head when you mine a rock for example? or do you see that number in vanilla too

real kiln
#

Lol, maybe ok how about it makes the profession go right to 10?

#

I dont usually see exp above my head

uncut viper
#

UI Info Suite thing I guess, so you'd need the harmony patch to make that accurate for the double exp anyway
just maxing your skill to level 10 should be easy enough though without harmony

#

just know that the book itself is not going to do that

#

all that happens when you read a book is that you get a stat added to your farmer

#

e.g. if you read Horse: The Book then your "Book_Horse" stat becomes 1

#

and then the game checks if you have that stat as necessary

real kiln
#

Oh so maybe I make an easy stat?

uncut viper
#

the stat doesnt matter, you just need to watch for when the stat changes

#

and then act on that change

lucid iron
#

You can do that in day ending I think

#

So that people get to see the lvl screens

uncut viper
#

dayending would work, as long as you dont mind making the player wait til they sleep

#

i assume the smapi dayending event fires at the same time that the trigger would? which should be before all the skill stuff i think

#

if you wanted them to know they leveled up immediately though i was just thinking you'd just grant them a whole bunch of experience

#

so they wouldnt miss the lvl screens anyway

#

just figure out how much is needed to go from current level to level 10 and grant that much

real kiln
#

Hm that would be a fun one to make

modest dagger
#

If this is spam i'm deeply sorry but should my rules look like this instead then?

It works fine with that commented out line replacing 'projectile', gives a placeholder texture instead, but I want it to be my custom one and I don't know why it doesn't load my texture.

teal bridge
uncut viper
#

those have a context tag on them that says what skill to give e xperience to, but the amount is hardcoded

lucid iron
teal bridge
#

lol, of course it is... why wouldn't that number be hardcoded?

lucid iron
#

oh but it's static darn

plucky reef
lucid iron
#

replace GetTexture()?

plucky reef
#

I know earlier you were saying to use LoadAsset but I don't know the namewithoutlocale to reference.

lucid iron
#

well you need that too ofc

#

but now that your sheet is loaded you must make projectile use it

teal bridge
#

...though, that said, it's probably a way easier Harmony patch to just twiddle with the exp than to do any of the other stuff you two were talking about.

uncut viper
#

(i should clarify, if its a book specifically for a skill whose itemid starts with "SkillBook" then the skill in question to get EXP is determined by the number that the itemID ends with)

plucky reef
#

I'm just confused because the other mods I'm referencing that are creating projectiles don't use either of those, they just use the Texture2D and ModContent.Load stuff.

uncut viper
#

its not difficult to just add a OneSecondUpdateTicked event to check for the stat and then grant exp

#

the hardest part would just be figuring out the precise amount of EXP needed which you'd need to do either way

#

(bc you dont wanna just give a fuckton bc then you'll get mastery, too)

lucid iron
#

besides the default projectile sheet

teal bridge
#

Do you have to know the precise amount though? There's no real penalty if you go over.

lucid iron
#

it can also use texture from an item

#

i guess you can just do that if you like, make a fake item with ur texture

teal bridge
#

I thought points didn't count toward mastery until you max all skills. In fact I'm almost positive, since I just passed that stage on my run yesterday.

#

Oh, but I suppose you mean if it's also the last skill to get maxed, then those extra points start counting toward mastery.

uncut viper
#

looking at the gain experience function it looks like you're right, the mastery stuff happens after the level gain check, i assumed it would rollover

#

er

#

happens before* the level check

brittle pasture
lucid iron
#

idk whether the meowmere mod is just cp or has C#, but if the former then take a look at StardewValley.GameData.Weapons/WeaponProjectile.cs

#

oh urite they r use the png path instead of the target

uncut viper
#

if your total combined level is not at or above 25 when you gain the experience then you will not get mastery if im readin the code right, so i guess you could just grant a fuckton of exp

lucid iron
#

that was the thing we said to replace with content load things Bolb

teal bridge
#

Yeah I think you can just throw a ton of exp at it. It's not how I personally would do it but it's a good enough duct-tape solution.

uncut viper
#

they said they didnt know anythin about harmony and would rather wait on trying it

#

it also would not be my first chosen solution either

brittle pasture
teal bridge
#

Right, I guess if there's a very strict "no harmony" rule then it's not viable, but as far as Harmony patching goes that one's dead simple, just a postfix to add a whack of exp when reading the book. (and you can also check to see whether the skill is already maxed, to avoid messing up mastery if a second book gets acquired). The whole thing is like, 5 lines.

uncut viper
#

i guess technically you should still check if theyre at mastery levels before doing it, though

plucky reef
#

well the frankenstein getting cobbled together is from a bunch of different ones and if I had to guess why the person I took from used Initialise it's because it's referencing config values.

uncut viper
#

bc if reading the book grants exp through other means (like maybe someone adds a context tag to it later) then it might push them over the mastery edge

teal bridge
#

'course it can be done without Harmony as well via some global variables and per-frame checks, it's messier though.

uncut viper
#

you dont need global variables or anything, just check every second if the player has the stat

#

the per-frame/per-second stuff though, yeah, no real way around that afaik

teal bridge
#

The global state is not "does player have stat" but "did we already see that the player has stat"

uncut viper
#

i said earlier you'd need to track whether theyve applied it before but i was wrong they can actually just decrement the stat again right after

teal bridge
#

That needs to actually be persisted to the savegame, so it's definitely adding some complexity.

uncut viper
#

if you only ever do it if the stat is 1 and then decrement itto 0 after, it will only fire if they read the book again

#

if you dont want that possibility then just increment it to 2 instead, and only ever check for 1

#

since reading a book will increment the stat, not specifically set it to 1

teal bridge
#

What's a little more hardcoding, right?

brittle pasture
uncut viper
#

s'basically the same way you'd need to do it anyway to persist it to the savegame

teal bridge
#

I'm not a big fan of the magic numbers, but 'tain't my mod.

uncut viper
#

just might be a little wonky with farmhands since their stats arent synced til sleeping and they might leave early... or something. idk. i just have vague memories about farmhand stat syncing being discussed

#

its not really a magic number though, the stat being 1 is just the same as a bool saying "did we already see them have the stat"

teal bridge
#

That's... pretty much the definition of a magic number.

lucid iron
#

say are there any mods out there using machines InteractMethod

uncut viper
#

i dont know how else you would expect to track something without tracking it

lucid iron
#

i feel kinda dum for recommending button changed event for "open menu when interact with machine" kind of features bc i didnt know about this field

teal bridge
#

Checking >= 0 and marking separately as done is different from checking for exactly 1.

#

If you reset to 0 you're messing with stats. If you make > 1 non-functional then... well, maybe it'll work but you've made 1 a magic number.

uncut viper
#

whats the difference between checking "did we mark separately as done" versus "is this stat 1" in terms of magicness then

#

and where would you save the separate marking in the save file

brittle pasture
#

Better Crafting adds the ability to trigger actions/map actions on interacting with a BC

teal bridge
#

Because the 1 is an integer that can be any value. A specific value having a specific semantic meaning is magic. It's normally just a number.

#

As for where, that would be in the save data, I'm not sure what you mean by where?

brittle pasture
teal bridge
#

Do you mean like, what API? It's the IDataHelper APIs, ReadSaveData and WriteSaveData.

the benefit of doing this is that other ppl can resprite your projectiles if they want

i usually do Mods/{ModManifest.UniqueID}/... for the target, but u get the idea

plucky reef

so how does this work with 10 other spells that use different textures? Lots of lines with ifs?

lucid iron

no u use sprite index

but if you want to load 10 separate 16x16 textures, you can Bolb

oh I thought it was 24x24

yeah the player forces a turn

ive never done anything with festivals and all i find is about adding them to it, not the art part

Like this?

velvet narwhal
#

depending on the festival you'd also have to do a walking animation

ornate trellis
#

huh why...

velvet narwhal
#

(flower suffering)

ornate trellis
#

so i need to do the walk around all sides sprites part?

#

does that also mean i need the 4 standard expressions for the portraits?

rancid temple
# past knot Like this?

I think this looks fine, you can technically drop the minimum version from ContentPackFor but you can also leave it to force only compatibility with specific versions

velvet narwhal
#

you'd only need the 4 directions, and a back walking if you have a flower festival

#

you don't have to have portraits attached

past knot
lucid iron
#

the portraits depend on whether the dialog you wrote use em

velvet narwhal
#

flower festival can be shoved into the base sheet because it has it's own position

past knot
#

im still a little confused on how to do schedules and pathing, however..

velvet narwhal
#

schedules are ...... SDVpufferpain

ornate trellis
#

hm

rancid temple
#

Hm, actually, do you need MinimumApiVersion at all? That's not something I include in mine lol

ornate trellis
#

well i just do a flowerdance standing around sprite, she wont dance

velvet narwhal
#

that's fine then

#

appearances doesn't have a sprite index unfortunately

#

but you can probably just do an editimage -> when condition -> sprite index

rancid temple
ornate trellis
#

i guess I can keep the festival portrait as a festivalportrait.png all in one and jsut use the right $ then, hmm

lucid iron
#

someone would have to try to run your mod on 1.5.6 install basically

past knot
lucid iron
#

definitely a real field tho

image.png
velvet narwhal
#

it's real, i just don't use that field SDVpufferclueless

lucid iron
#

if u are use content patcher then content patcher would have set the min api version already

rancid temple
#

Oh, I didn't scroll down far enough lmfao

lucid iron
#

only C# mods with no dependencies are at any risk for not setting this

velvet narwhal
#

tia's guide is fine and perfect, you just have to understand when you're making an npc that you're actually having roughly 6-7 tabs up at once

past knot
#

so for setting schedules, sprites and portraits, would i be doing this in game using debug mode, or through the content.json?

velvet narwhal
#

all through content.json

rancid temple
#

Debug Mode just gives some map information doesn't it?

velvet narwhal
#

whereami is useful if you don't want to use Tiled for events

#

OH THE COMMAND ANE MADE FOR ME

#

!reload

ocean sailBOT
#
How do I reload my changes while I'm still in game?

-You cannot reload tokens, that's a forced restart unfortunately
-If you've done any CHANGES, then type into SMAPI:
patch reload YourMod.UniqueID
-If you've done i18n DEFAULT.jSON changes, then type into SMAPI:
reload_i18n then
patch reload Your.ModUniqueID
-C# Visual Studio has a feature called "Hot Reload": https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/hot-reload?view=vs-2022
-C# Rider has the same: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/rider/Hot_Reload.html"
-Generally working in C# it will be called "Hot Reload" (usage may vary)

To use this command, type !reload.
rancid temple
#

Also if you're changing stuff with NPC's you might have to go back to the menu

#

Things like schedules are only done at the beginning or end of the day

velvet narwhal
#

oh right schedules needed to be added into the reload *does not work with reload

rancid temple
#

At least reloading the save is way faster than restarting the game though

ornate trellis
#

man

#

this new system got me confused again

velvet narwhal
#

i would offer to sort all of your stuff for you but that'd require some finagling SDVpufferclueless

past knot
#

wait i guess im asking the wrong questions??? i for starters need to figure how how to put the initial npc into the game. just anywhere in general atm

velvet narwhal
#

so the core you need for an npc to exist is : portrait, schedule, sprite, "disposition" (aka, the data/character edit) squints i don't remember if there's anything else

#

i don't think gift tastes matter

ornate trellis
#

so i got this so far and rn I am wondering where my pngs come in

"Appearance": [
                        {
                            "ID": "Usual Outfit",
                            "Precedence": -10,
                            "Weight": 1,
                            "Portrait": "Portraits/TheFishmonger",
                            "Sprite": "Characters/TheFishmonger"
                        },
                        {
                            "ID": "Egg Festival Outfit",
                            "Condition": "ANY \"EVENT_ID festival_spring13\",
                            "Precedence": -20,
                            "Weight": 1,
                            "Portrait": "???",
                            "Sprite": "???"
                        },
]
velvet narwhal
#

appearances then pulls from where you loaded it to and goes "okay that's this npc's information now yoink"

ornate trellis
#

i did load em in my dispo, i was wondering bout if i need to take that somewhere else or change that hm

velvet narwhal
#

if you loaded them at all, it should be fine

#

just make sure it's the same path/filename

ornate trellis
#

well i have the standard set loaded rn since i guess i gotta do more for the festival sprites and also load the second portrait sheet but yea

velvet narwhal
#

(one sec i'm gonna pull up the npc.cs or wherever the dispo is to see what's actually required for an npc to exist)

ornate trellis
#

hmm

#

how would I go about the targets tho

#

still just TheFishmonger?

velvet narwhal
#

target for what, appearances?

ornate trellis
#

(maybe looking at matteos intense data was the wrong move lol)

#

for "Portrait" and "Sprite" for the festivals

velvet narwhal
#

do you want me to take a look

ornate trellis
#

I think i am getting confused about targets again

past knot
#

just to avoid that again. something like this? the dialogue part would look something like the sprite part??

Screenshot_2024-08-25_6.28.06_PM.png
velvet narwhal
#

dialogue requires you to create a base blank.json load, hold on

# 
    "LogName": "BlankLoads",
    "Action": "Load",
    "Priority": "Low",
    "Target": "Characters/Dialogue/EdelweissSeung, Characters/Dialogue/MarriageDialogueEdelweissSeung, Characters/schedules/EdelweissSeung, Strings/Schedules/EdelweissSeung",
    "FromFile": "data/Blank.json"
},```
#

and that blank.json is quite literally { }

ornate trellis
#

so, i got this load for the standard sheets

{
            "LogName": "Constance Portraits",
            "Action": "Load",
            "Target": "Portraits/TheFishmonger",
            "FromFile": "assets/Images/Constance/Fishmonger_portrait.png"
        },
        
        {
            "LogName": "Constance Sprites",
            "Action": "Load",
            "Target": "Characters/TheFishmonger",
            "FromFile": "assets/Images/Constance/Fishmonger_spritesheet.png"
        },

Where would I throw "Fishmonger_portrait2.png" then (etc the otehrs i dont have yet) I thought the Target always gotta be the internal name of the npc...

velvet narwhal
#

i think of target as, "i am throwing these files into this folder"

#

whatever name works for me to remember, that's what i use

rancid temple
#

Pretty sure only the base portrait and character sprites should be the name of the character, the game handles finding those I think

#

But anything in appearances is manually set by you

velvet narwhal
#

extras, with the exception of {{NPCNAME}}_Winter

#

gets ignored unless you ask the game to fetch it

ornate trellis
#

huh

rancid temple
#

            "FromFile": "assets/Images/Constance/Fishmonger_portrait2.png"
        },

(plus sprite i dont have yet)

and

{
                            "ID": "Egg Festival Outfit",
                            "Condition": "ANY \"EVENT_ID festival_spring13\",

Might be best to name the Targets a little more specifically

JSON is a standard format for machine-readable text files that's used by Stardew Valley mods.

If you need help with a JSON file, you can upload it to smapi.io/json to see automatic validation and share the link here.

When making mods, it's recommended to edit your files in a text editor with JSON support, such as VS Code, Notepad++, or Sublime Text. These programs will check for syntax errors.

To use this command, type !json.

even i made one during the 1.6 alpha... vanilla ate it five days before release (this is a good thing)

i don't know what CFD does exactly either (custom fixed dialogue)

that one let you define NPC-specific dialogue for hardcoded generic lines. there may still be a few that vanilla didn't add a key for but i can't think of one

velvet narwhal

ah, i think i just get around it with GMCM config telling the player "i'mma overwrite some things, just so you know you installed my mod and you're not romancing this npc it is no longer my problem"

i think i know which ones though, like if people wanted specifics for proposal/engagement maybe

yeah that sort of thing. they got new dialogue keys, so you can just define them. it's great

[Content Patcher] SMAPI blocked asset replacement for 'Maps/Greenhouse': the 'MODname' content pack incorrectly set asset to a null value.

Hi I'm a beginner and I'm currently creating map data.
First of all, I tried to create data for Greenhouse, which only needs to be replaced, but it was rejected with the above error.

brittle pasture
#

!json

ocean sailBOT
#

JSON is a standard format for machine-readable text files that's used by Stardew Valley mods.

If you need help with a JSON file, you can upload it to smapi.io/json to see automatic validation and share the link here.

When making mods, it's recommended to edit your files in a text editor with JSON support, such as VS Code, Notepad++, or Sublime Text. These programs will check for syntax errors.

To use this command, type !json.
brittle pasture
#

the most likely cause is that you're accidentally blanking/replacing Maps/Greenhouse

floral portal
#

I'm sorry. I am not good at English, so I use a translation tool. I am sorry if this is an odd question, as it is difficult to read the fine nuances.

#

Are you saying that the “content” code is likely incorrect?

brittle pasture
#

yes. Post your code using the link above

lucid mulch
#

go to the smapi.io/json link, paste in the contents of your content.json file and can more easily help you.
But the issue is related to how you interact with Maps/Greenhouse

floral portal
lucid mulch
#

ok and relative to your content.json file, there is a folder called assets that contains a file called Greenhouse.tmx?

floral portal
#

The code itself is very simple, and once it detects an error, it deletes the mod data. And when I put in the Greenhouse mod distributed by someone else, I get the same error message.

latent mauve
#

I give up on trying to make these walls and floors decoratable for the bathroom renovation. Nothing has worked at all, even though I've gone through and completely changed the FloorIDs and WallIDs dozens of times, and added the new IDs to the map properties as well as the Back object layer.

#

There is something I am missing but I cannot figure out what.

floral portal
#

Yes. The folder “assets” and the edited “Greenhouse” file are included.
Is it because I installed the mod data created by someone else first when I was adapting my own mod data?

#

If that is the cause, I would like to try that once if it can be solved by putting commands in the data started from scratch in Smapi and checking the operation.

latent mauve
#

Also my bathroom renovation mod apparently kills the spouse room decor (it turns into an empty room) when I patch reload despite not touching that area, so that's fun

at the moment im putting continuing to schedule coding on hold. Anyone know what dimensions need to be used for a building?

When creating or editing maps in Tiled, one common error is tilesheet climbing, marked by red text containing "invalid tilesheet path '../../..'. This is caused by SMAPI not being able to find the tilesheets needed by the map file. To prevent this error, make sure that you have a copy of all necessary tilesheets in the folder containing your WIP tmx file. Copies of vanilla tilesheets can later be deleted, but must be present while working on your map.

If you get this error with a completed map, an easy way to fix it is to open your tmx file in VS Code or a similar text editor, find all of the places with <image source=, and remove the filepaths to so that only the tilesheet names remain. For example, if the code says <image source="Content (unpacked)/Maps/townInterior_2" width="512" height="64"/>, change it to just <image source="townInterior_2" width="512" height="64"/>.

To use this command, type !tilesheetclimbing.

Hi guys, does anyone know why "OnTimeChange" doesn't work on editing map properties and if there's away around it? I have two different ambient lighting for day and night but if you are inside the room when the night comes, the lighting doesn't update. you need to go out and back again to see it.

finite ginkgo
#

That's likely the map property itself not auto updating and is no fault to CP or ontimechange

rancid temple
#

I would guess map properties are cached until you re-enter the map

#

Otherwise it would be wild to check something that the game doesn't expect to ever change more frequently

finite ginkgo
#

Although there should be a ambient light property for night specifically

rancid temple
#

Yeah there is

#

AmbientNightLight

#

Well, I can say for sure that you shouldn't change the GID's manually

Oh yeah, absolutely nuked the map and even getting them to set back to the right numbers wasn't fixing it lol

@ivory plume Sorry to be a bother, I just found a thread you replied to where someone lost the farmhouse_marriage.xnb file. My save file is completely busted because I accidentally had a defunct mod installed, SMAPI says I'm missing that file. Could you offer any advice? I'd be eternally grateful ❤️

If it's actually missing, try verifying the game files, if it's corrupted, try reinstalling

I don't really know whats happening. I'm probably posting in the wrong channel actually sorry about that. Basically I upgraded to the 2nd house upgrade but still had Bathroom after 2nd Houseupgrade by DevilBro installed. It completely wrecked the house tilesheet or something. I removed the mod and tried to reload but then the loading screen would boot me back to main menu on a loop. So I put the mod back which works but the map is all messed up :/

# vernal crest Do you feel confident that you can add the "paths" tilesheet back into the map?

I had to leave the meeting because I had to respond to an urgent business call. I apologize.

I've been staring at the wiki since then, resetting to Vanilla's default Greenhouse many times and trying to edit it. And I finally figured out how to change the path when I add a new tile sheet (in this case a spring_outdoors tile sheet).... I was also able to confirm that it works!
I honestly didn't think it would be difficult to make a simple change this time, just repaint the tile sheet for the frame. Next time I would like to gradually increase what I can do while checking the areas where I can confirm the operation. Thanks again for your really helpful advice!

Hello! 🙋
I'm trying to make a translation mod that would translate SV into Latvian.

I'm aware that if I want to translate it I need to add my own font to the game because SV doesnt recognize these letters "'āčēģīķļņšūž".

  • I made the ".ttf" file. (the font)
  • I used the BMfont to generate ".png" and ".fnt" files of my font.

But where do I make a "xnb" file? To use the font in SV as much as I know I need to repack it in "xnb" format. How?

ah yes but the in- and output was the thing that threw me off

#

because it doesn't apply to the mini-jukebox

#

thank you so much selph!!

#

and tiakall and hayato!

calm nebula
#

Mini jukebox is probably not a machine

#

It's also probably hardcoded

verbal narwhal
#

ahh

#

I mean even without a spinning vinyl it is pretty to look at

#

at least I have this :D

valid folio
#

The values ​​of these parameters... how do I know what to put? Or is it the same for any cooking recipe?

Type": "Basic",
"Category": -7,
"Price": 500,
"Texture": "Mods/{{ModId}}/objects",
"SpriteIndex": 0,
"Edibility": 75,
"IsDrink": false

In "texture" I suppose it is the path of the png

#

Well, "price" the sales value

uncut viper
#

the texture field will be an asset name, not a path to the png. its wherever you did a Load action for your texture

#

the price is how much money the player will get if they put it in the shipping bin, and is also by default 1/2 the sale price from a store

Q: What happens to orphaned StardewValley.Object instances? E.g., if a mod postfixes a method that normally returns new Object(...) and overrides that return value, does the originally-created object just get GC'd or are there noticeable side effects?

velvet narwhal
#

oh god github lightmode is horrific

ashen oak
#

(Assume this method runs uncommonly and not like 1+ times per frame or something)

calm nebula
#

In general you can expect orphaned instances in c# to be eventually swept away

ashen oak
calm nebula
#

(It's a there tiered mark and sweep gc.)

#

You will know them because they implement Idisposable

#

Well, except farmer

#

(Grumbles)

ashen oak
#

Coolio, thx

#

Would rather just not create the object I'm tossing anyway but that way lies either a total replacement prefix patch or a transpile and I don't wanna do that

teal bridge
#

Just be careful about assets like Texture2D, don't dispose those unless you own them.

ashen oak
#

So I should just be able to ignore the original return value in this case and replace it with my own without much of a hiccup

Does anyone know anything about Alternate Dispositions? I've only heard of it in relation to MissCoriel's NPC Creator, but I literally can't find anything that explains what it is and how it works

velvet narwhal
#

Have not heard of that one

#

If you're talking about the new dispositions, #1277457201077813280 were always listening for npc help in that thread

tough crater
#

Maybe it's something that's exclusive to the creator's own mods? I have no idea 😅

!json

JSON is a standard format for machine-readable text files that's used by Stardew Valley mods.

If you need help with a JSON file, you can upload it to smapi.io/json to see automatic validation and share the link here.

When making mods, it's recommended to edit your files in a text editor with JSON support, such as VS Code, Notepad++, or Sublime Text. These programs will check for syntax errors.

To use this command, type !json.

your Data/CookingRecipes entry is malformed, though I don't know if it matters with SC override
what's the error?

rancid temple
#

It probably does need to be correct or I think it won't add it to the recipes properly

brittle pasture

yeah good idea to make it an actual valid recipe regardless

Is it possible to add a custom NPC with their own build menu? Or do I need to use Robin or Wizard?

#

Or rather is it possible with CP or a framework mod?

latent mauve
#

I'm fairly certain you can assign a custom NPC as a Builder

#

per the wiki: The vanilla values are Robin and Wizard, but you can specify a different name if a C# mod opens a construction menu for them. Defaults to Robin. If set to null, it won't appear in any menu.

#

So you'd need C# to call the construction menu, from the sounds of it

merry rampart
#

Well, there goes that idea...

brittle pasture
#

a "shop dehardcoder" framework could be cool. I know there are people who wanted animal sellers other than Marnie

merry rampart
#

Well, i could just add the building to the wizard but you dont unlock the wizard build menu until later game which kinda defeats the purpose of what i want to do

last plume
#

can i make a mod that uses extra machine configs but automate compatible?

brittle pasture
#

EMC is already automate compatible wdym

lucid iron
#

hm it's almost decoded really

last plume
#

oh im working on the successor of raffadax cheese mod and i know he uses producer framework mod but i know thats not automate compatible

lucid iron
#

it's all in GameLocations.ShowConstructOptions(buildername)

finite ginkgo
#

Producer framework mod does have a automate integration optional mod

last plume
#

oki i will look into it thanks

merry rampart
#

i dont know shit about C# coding so... that's not an option

lucid iron
#

was there a framework that adds new tile actions?

I'm trying to follow along with a SMAPI tutorial on the wiki. It says to do this to replace a game asset. But I'm getting an error that "Entry" has nothing to override.

internal sealed class ModEntry : Mod
{
    /// <inheritdoc/>
    public override void Entry(IModHelper helper)
    {
        helper.Events.Content.AssetRequested += this.OnAssetRequested;
    }

    /// <inheritdoc cref="IContentEvents.AssetRequested"/>
    /// <param name="sender">The event sender.</param>
    /// <param name="e">The event data.</param>
    private void OnAssetRequested(object sender, AssetRequestedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Name.IsEquivalentTo("Portraits/Abigail"))
        {
            e.LoadFromModFile<Texture2D>("assets/abigail-portraits.png", AssetLoadPriority.Medium);
        }
    }
}

raffadax cheese mod broke on march 19th

brittle pasture
#

though it's still recommended you use CP machines if possible above PFM

lucid iron
#

wow fancy DokkanStare

scenic tinsel
#

i'll text there then

last plume

but can the successor of raffadax mod be done on cp and emc?

brittle pasture
#

yes

last plume
#

ok cuz it will need the milk and one or more cultures for example. I am putting advanced cheese and advanced goat cheese presses to make it easier

#

so ya

merry rampart
#

hmm... is it possible to warp via an option from a static npc?

like, talk to static npc, they ask if you want to go somewhere, and you press 'yes' to warp

What are you trying to do exactly?

(I'm not sure that I, personally, can do it, but we were musing yesterday about how some of the artistic types seem reluctant to straight up ask for help with the code, like coding types are willing to ask for help with pixel art and such; if you're pretty far along in the execution and just need some code to glue it together, there's probably someone who will like the idea enough to be willing to chip in.)

#

(and yes there's a lot of maybes and probablys in there... since we don't know what the intended outcome is)

# teal bridge What are you trying to do exactly? (I'm not sure that I, personally, can do it,...

i want to have a custom buildable warp totem that can teleport the player to a custom map location. it makes sense for the wizard to build it, but i want it to be available to players earlier in the game. and for that i wanted to make a custom npc that would sell the building early game

the warp totem itself seems like something i can do with CP alone. but the build menu is another story entirely....

teal bridge
#

When you say totem, I take it you're referring to the permanent obelisk buildings and not tradable/craftable totems (consumables)?

merry rampart
#

right

#

also i could do a simple map edit, but then i'd run into compatibility issues with other mods and that's just one big headache

#

but now im wondering if this idea is an even bigger headache

teal bridge
#

Let me try to see what's going on with the wizard; I think constructibles might be different from regular shop data but I don't think they're all that insane unless you're doing a whole dialogue tree out of it (which is why Robin is so complex).

(not that the mod currently works, i haven't updated it for 1.6)
