also i should change those to winter, huh?

brittle pasture
#

Add a comma after the last null

#

no, keep it to spring

#

what you're doing is telling CP "find the existing entries with the id spring1, spring2, spring3, and remove them"

open dock
#

Ohhh okay. Do I need to do that with Summer and Fall 123 as well then?

brittle pasture
#

and then find the entries with the id winter1, winter2 and winter3, and change them to that

#

yes, repeat with summer and fall

open dock
#

Okay

#

So does this look good?

looks good to me SDVpufferthumbsup

open dock
#

Awesome. Thank you so much

#

Maybe I should pout Locationwhatever into assets? lol

brittle pasture
#

hmm try deleting the Condition: null lines nvm I didnt see the quotes

uncut viper
#

remove the quotes around the nulls after each of the Conditions

#

its being parsed as a GSQ string and "null" isnt a GSQ

#

rather than turning them into nulled out/deleted conditions

open dock
#

Awesome. It works now.

#

Thank you both so much for all the help.

#

wait, is atra modding?

calm nebula
#

atra is debugging

tiny zealot
#

oh, that's a smart idea. leave it to atra to have smart ideas tbh

true coyote
#

is there any quick solution I can add to cornucopia [more crops] to disable them from the shipping list? Or would it be a somewhat lengthy process? My shipping list for perfection is getting... long lol

calm nebula
#

just use perfection tweaker tbh

uncut viper
#

each item needs to be excluded specifically

#

or that

true coyote
#

ooh

#

ty atra

calm nebula
#

you can do a thing with items being disabled selectively

true coyote
tiny zealot
#

tweaker is definitely the quickest solution

uncut viper
#

but if you wanted to actually edit cornucopia itself it'd be a lengthy process. so i dont recmmend it

calm nebula
#

betcha you could do it with a regex

calm nebula
#

hmmm

true coyote
#

I bless wildflour now for adding in the toggle for their mods 🙏

uncut viper
#

honeslty thinking about it if every item has at least one field in common you could just do a find & replace to add in the exclude from shipping collection line

#

and just include the common field in the replace

#

i was assuming they were originally talking about a CP mod of their own to edit Cornucopia with EditData though which was a bad assumption

true coyote
#

nah I took a peek at wildflour's gourmand mod or forager or something content.json and noped out of the work haha

calm nebula
#

I love sourcegen

tender bloom
#

If perfection tweaker has a prefix on items options that should be easy

#

I’m assuming cornucopia items all have similar prefixes internally

uncut viper
tiny zealot
#

i can. just let me know what you want it to say

uncut viper
#

"The level up screen was originally supposed to have some stars in it that shine when you hover over them. This mod finally implements them. This is very important."

tiny zealot
#

cool, on it

thank you ichor SDVpufferheart

inner harbor
#

You can't invent a new area for crabpot fish without C# can you?

brittle pasture
inner harbor
#

okay I'll experiment!

brittle pasture
#

oh yeah Mt Vapius adds a new zone, so it's totally possible!

#

just checked its code myself

#

(I really need to catch that ||mossy crayfish|| one of these days)

inner harbor
#

ah nice thank you! Mt Vapius really did pioneer a LOT

#

so how do I define the Location Type?

#

like if I've already done a separate location for something in the Data/Locations, can I just use the same name?

brittle pasture
#

basically in the Data/Fish entry you define the crab pot fish as belong to a new zone instead of either freshwater or ocean (named funzone for example)
then in the Data/Locations you define a fish area as usual, and set CrabPotFishTypes to a list of zones you want the pots to catch, for example ["freshwater", "funzone"] to catch both vanilla freshwater crab pot fish and the new fish in the funzone

inner harbor
#

yes I see that now that I look there 🙂

#

gonna switch the nudibranches to crabpots

@spice inlet Hi! I got a bug report about AutoGate not detecting gate changes when reloading with QuickSave.

AutoGate should automatically reset its cache when SMAPI's ObjectListChanged or Warped events are raised though. Does QuickSave somehow warp the player or change location objects without triggering SMAPI's events?

calm nebula
ivory plume
#

Does QuickSave raise SaveLoaded though? If so, it'll be an easy fix. (I'd normally just try it, but QuickSave doesn't work in 1.6.9 yet.)

calm nebula
#

no idea, sorry!

#

never have I found dotnet documentation MORE confusing than the PerformanceCounter class 😦

#
  1. Okay, it's Windows-Only TM. What happens if I try it on Linux? Death?
  2. There are "predefined counters." I have not found a list of these predefined counters, or their types. I apparently need their types too.
brittle pasture
#

probably just return dummy values on Linux. Though death™ is also a valid option

calm nebula
#

well this is unpleasant

framerate.gif
#

lol

#

does stardew have a fix-width font somewhere?

tiny zealot
#

i don't know of one

calm nebula
#

the gif (because it's at 12 hz) is actually fairly pleasant.

#

the actual code, running at 60hz, is seizure-inducing bad

#

the EasyWayOut TM is to just...do teh 12hz thing, take a little average

tiny zealot
#

surely the easiest way out is to render on three lines so the numbers are always last

lucid iron

tiny zealot
#

my favorite thing is someone (casey) told me the hot reload incantation (dotnet watch) and the hot reload part simply Does Not Work™️ on linux

gaunt orbit
#

D:

calm nebula
#

how do I call you 😦

image.png
tiny zealot
#

automatically killing and restarting the game when i rebuild is nice, but i would really prefer the hot reload part

#

however, as with most situations where linux gets the short straw, not using windows is ample compensation

calm nebula
brittle pasture
#

Microsoft's vision is clearly for us to do dev in a Windows VM

lucid iron
#

ichor maybe you could try valleyunit

tiny zealot
#

what is that

lucid iron
#

its integration tests for stardew

oak umbra
#

Want to make another mod this time being a new type of train that will pass through the valley using content patcher. Anyone know a good starting point?

lucid iron
#

i think that's an item extensions feature?

#

hrm it seems like it's only drops, doesnt let you make new types of car from what i can tell

gaunt orbit
#

you would need c# for that for sure

#

well, actually, depending on what you want to do with it, maybe not

lucid iron
#

you can retexture the existing trains ofc

gaunt orbit
#

could potentially use tokens to do daily conditional retextures, and item extensions to change the drops

#

if you want to mess with schedule, though, or add it to the existing trains instead of "sometimes replacing" them, you would need c#

lucid iron
#

say you can change the warp of farm cave right

gaunt orbit
#

you can control both ends of the warp from the farm map

#

FarmCaveEntry cave -> farm
Warp farm -> cave

lucid iron
#

then if i am make just the farm cave i'd have to do a EditMap on farm Bolb

gaunt orbit
#

yeah, changing the entrance position of the farm cave is tricky business

#

most custom ones work around it instead

lucid iron
#

oh i cant just do MapProperty?

gaunt orbit
#

you can, but how do you know which maps to edit?

olive fulcrum
#

YES!
I finally fixed the bug in Datable Jodi that was bugging me 😭
For whatever reason, addBigProp sucks lmao
I replaced it with addTemporaryActor in her 6 heart event from that mod

lucid iron
#

all of them PecoSmile

gaunt orbit
#

you would have to hardcode every single farm map, including custom ones

lucid iron
#

well hm additional farms

#

maybe i chuck this into my random map stuff mod

gaunt orbit
#

if you are willing to use a small amount of c# you could just move the player after warp

olive fulcrum
#

For whatever reason the snowman in that event just never showed up for me, and instead a big ol 🚫 shows up

#

I fixed it though ✊

lucid iron
#

i was thinking i'd make game read map props of cave instead

#

but first ill go with not changing warp

gaunt orbit
olive fulcrum
#

I'll keep that in mind, yeah
Thankfully the thing I needed was just a simple Snowman, doesn't need to move

gaunt orbit
#

just hook the warp event, check for the presence of the property, and change the player's tile position

lucid iron
#

well ill feel more motivated to make that once i draw a cave DokkanStare

#

say i know i have to have the original tilesheets

#

but could i replace the texture?

#

change Mines/mine to like Mines/mine_lava_dark.png

unique sigil
lucid iron
#

well i'd just C# that part if it comes to it

lucid iron
#

hm i wish i could paint first and then decide what tiles go on what layer second

spice cloud
#

... Smapi just threw me that as yellow and I'm like ????

[game] Ignored unknown location 'Karma.Immy.CP_JackEventMap' in save data.

Ok, so here's the latest build of my mod, along with the Example Furniture Pack I use for testing. You can use the Furniture called "Table Test" to trigger the crash.
You'll probably need to see what FF does when the crash happens, so here are links to the relevant code snippets:

# ivory plume Does QuickSave raise `SaveLoaded` though? If so, it'll be an easy fix. (I'd norm...

Last I tested QuickSave loads its savefile normally and all SMAPI events, including SaveLoaded, are raised.
Afterwards states that weren't persisted in the savefile will be applied, including the Farmer Position and in special cases like the mines the location as well. Finally QuickSave will raise its LoadedEvent:

is there a way to make or edit the x value of how players sit with CP? it looks like im to fall off anytime

hallow prism

offset, yes

quick check, if i want a thing to be enabled whatever the config is, i can do "config |contains=OPTIONA, OPTIONB" : true

#

(i never remember the formating on contains)

rancid temple
#

Seems so, though the docs show true or false wrapped in quotes

#

Might be one of those cases where it doesn't matter either way

hallow prism

hey people who are probably more experienced than me, how would i go about making a reskin for the horses?

You can use either Content Patcher or Alternative Textures

#

Horse is different from a regular farm animal, not sure it has skins in the same way, but I know with AT you can change the appearance whenever you want

hallow prism
#

there is a wiki list somewhere

lucid iron
#

I didn't change the unique id when I ported atra's mod so stardrop thinks it's still broken

hallow prism
#

pathos test stuff and note what is broken but people can edit that too and add note/redirect to alternative and such

#

The list is updated every few days (you can help update it!). It doesn't include XNB mods (see using XNB mods on the wiki instead) or compatible content packs.

#

this has the link you need to update

woeful lintel
#

@desert vapor I decided to revert to 1.6.8 to continue developing my update, but the crash still happens...

#

I'll try to find what I changed to cause the crash, but it's very surprising since it's a part of the mod based on SMAPI event handling, and I get no error log...

#

Ok, so for some reason:

  1. I had a held_item is StardewValley.Object obj condition, which is completely unnecessary
  2. Placing an Item is what causes the crash, even though they should be filtered by this condition
lucid iron
#

Wait isn't that kind of check pretty common?

woeful lintel
#

Hold on, are stuff like metal bars and coffee StardewValley.Item or StardewValley.Object?

rancid temple
#

Coffee is definitely an object

#

Metal bars as well

lucid iron
#

Things that are Item but still in your inventory include shirts hats pants

#

Flooring wallpaper?

rancid temple
#

Furniture?

Trying to figure out if there's an easy way to see what inherits Object

lucid iron
#

You can iterate all the classes in Stardew Valley.dll

lucid iron
rancid temple
#

Lol, much less confusing SDVpufferpain

lucid iron
#

I wonder why nothing stopped mr ape from naming Object like that LilyDerp

small pasture
#

I want to change the name of a hat but I want to do it in all languages, so how can I do it? I've only been able to change it in English.

lucid iron
#

You need to give i18n key or use the game's localized strings

velvet narwhal
#

(i don't think right clicking in vs and finding all refs was a good idea on the object class)

rancid temple
woeful lintel
rancid temple
#

Ehhh, that's a tough one lol

#

Still trying to figure out if there's a way to fetch all that without having to make a script do it for me

velvet narwhal
#

it's telling me resharper SDVpufferyikes

rancid temple
#

Also Object inherits Item, so technically all objects are items

#

Tools are Item's

velvet narwhal
#

it still gets me every time

#

IHaveModData

rancid temple
#

But not Object's

woeful lintel
lucid iron
#

Does it only happen in your custom slot furniture

rancid temple
#

Is there something on Object that is needed to place it that's not in Item?

small pasture
woeful lintel
#

nope, I just changed everything to Item instead of StardewValley.Object, and everything is on Item

lucid iron
#

Iirc vanilla furniture just put the placed thing in heldObject which is an Object

rancid temple
woeful lintel
lucid iron
woeful lintel
#

it worked for 3 months, but I changed something while updating the mod and I can't figure out what is causing the crash

rancid temple
#

You either need to use TargetField to pick the specific index of the name or rewrite the entire entry

lucid iron
rancid temple
#

Which actually, does TargetField work on these delimited strings?

#

Might need to use a TextOperation...

woeful lintel
#

Also, it's very annoying that the crash freezes my computer for a few seconds and fucks-up the console (can't type anymore, I have to kill and reopen)

#

like it's filling the RAM before crashing

rancid temple
#

That's intense

small pasture
#

I'm just confused about how to do that in this case...

lucid iron
#

Can't wait to explod my own computer with this mod kyuuchan_run

velvet narwhal
#

i honestly can't remember how to add a new 'entry' to these delimited string things

small pasture
velvet narwhal
#

maybe atra has it for sciencehouse

small pasture
#

Is it considered as a new entry? I'm changing an already existing key

velvet narwhal
#

oh you're changing an existing?

small pasture
#

Yeah, Paper Hat exists

#

Also this was the first thing I tried (which did not work 😬), I thought I was being smart

image.png
woeful lintel
#

I think, what scares me the most is that Farmer.ActiveItem is supposed to be never null (according to VSCode and the return type), while it very well can be null.

velvet narwhal
#

actually i don't know if my data/monster would be useful here

rancid temple
#

I might just have to create a test on hats really quick because I don't know if TargetField will work and the docs don't have an example of the index number thing

velvet narwhal
#

i was going to suggest my data/monster edit but, uh, i'm not confident in my removedelimiter skills lmao

#

i let atra yell at me if i throw a random questionmark where i'm not supposed to aSDVpufferrise

#

oh paper hat isn't even an index, okay, so that's just field: paperhat, the index is supposed to be 5, but then you'd have to do a replace...delimiter...?

rancid temple
#

Yeah seems like Fields isn't gonna work

small pasture
# velvet narwhal <https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/aut...

I did this by looking from an example herejson { "Action": "EditData", "Target": "Data/hats", "TextOperations": [ { "Operation": "ReplaceDelimited", "Target": ["Entries", "PaperHat"], "Search": "Paper Hat/It's made out of special paper that won't disintegrate in the rain./false/true//Paper Hat/114", "Value": "Paper Hat/People say pineapple skin is a very strong material./false/true//Pineapple Hat/114", "Delimiter": " " } ] }Not sure if this would work though, or if it works for languages

velvet narwhal
# 
    "Action": "EditData",
    "Target": "Data/Hats",
    "TextOperations": [
{
    "Operation": "ReplaceDelimited",
    "Target": [ "Fields", "PaperHat", "5" ], //field 5 cause that's where the name is
    "Search": "Paper Hat",
    "Value": "{{i18n:PaperHat}}", //space delimited
    "Delimiter": " "
},
]
}```
maybe?
small pasture
#

Okay, let me try

woeful lintel
#

It might just be easier to make a new Hat, why are you replacing a hat?

small pasture
#

Because I don't know how to make a new hat

#

This is my first mod

velvet narwhal
#

oh the one i linked earlier has a layout

rancid temple
#

Making a new hat is easier lol

#

No text operations required

woeful lintel
#

well, you just have to replace the "PaperHat" key with your own custom key

velvet narwhal
small pasture
#

I'd also have to change some tailoring stuff too if I want to make a new one because I want my hat to be tailored with pineapple (which is used for a shirt in vanilla game). Currently I was just replacing an achievement hat since I thought it would be easier.

velvet narwhal
#

string delimiteds are one of the most painful

#

backpedaling, item blows up the game? aSDVpufferrise

small pasture
#

Now I'm even more confused looking at this

rancid temple

gaunt orbit
#

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.

i marked this water trough thing as Water T

and it does work like water

#

except for not drawing the overlay LilyDerp

#

is it cus i did it in the tileset rather than through TileData

velvet narwhal
#

tbh my actual water in game is just the back layer

with the shoreline on the building layer

#

you can double up on the back layer to put your water?

I'm wondering if there's any way to specify a draw offset to furniture textures similar to how you can with buildings? So that you can draw the texture to the left of where the furniture would start and the collision box would be (I'm not sure I'm explaining what I mean very well)

humble timber
#

furniture framework would allow that would it not

pine elbow
#

Super stupid question but what can you program mods in?

rancid temple
#

!startmodding

ocean sailBOT
#

Making mods can be broadly divided into two categories:

Usually it’s easier to start with making content packs, since you don't need to learn programming.

To use this command, type !startmodding.
pine elbow
frozen elm
#

I've played around with it and while you can have custom collision, it doesn't quite work the way I would like. I want to have the furniture 1 tile wide for placement reasons, but slightly wider on both sides for aesthetic reasons and when I do the custom collision in FF the point of placement is still the upper left tile which is mostly empty, so it's a bit weird for placement reasons. I have no idea if it's even possible to change that though

humble timber
#

iirc just in the mod description there was something about offset?

#

so it's probably in the documentation somewhere

#

(i havent personally messed w furniture framework yet,, i need to learn)

frozen elm
#

I've been through the documentation pretty diligently but maybe I missed it. There is offset in context of animation and variants.

tender bloom
#

if you can't figure it out from the docs you can ask the author

#

there definitely isn't a way in vanilla, vanilla furniture is weirdly constrained in some ways and collision is very much one of them

frozen elm
#

the thing is, in vanilla I can reduce the collision area, but only on the right side because collision always starts on the bottom left tile. But then I would need to make it not centered which I cannot deal with haha

tender bloom
#

Yeah, that's the vanilla wonkiness

#

honestly in your shoes I would just make collision 2 tiles and let the player deal with it, or edit the image to be wider/narrower to fit the available limits

#

but the FF author is around in this channel sometimes, worth an ask

#

there used to be aedenthorn's mod that let users make these kinds of tweaks, but I think it doesn't work anymore

humble timber
#

oh oof yeah checked the description for ff nvm i completely misremembered C_Swirl_Pensive

tender bloom
#

actually, smapi compat list claims aedenthorn's mod still works

#

so you could also recommend users tweak things with that—also not a perfect solution though

frozen elm
#

There is precise furniture which I think is the new version of that. It does kind of solve that problem on the user end so I guess it's not as big a deal. Just me trying to be too perfectionist maybe

i could make the stairs one tile wide but then it'd look weird since the floor in front of it is two tiles

Does the pillar need to be on Buildings2? I don't know if it's yours or a vanilla thing.

merry rampart

Yes, it needs to be on buildings2

#

this is a custom farmhouse im working on. renovations are getting moved and adjusted to look better

hmm i have an idea that may work...

lucid iron
#

should i make a mod that let maps use hoeDirtDark without being mountain/mines/volcano dungeon

merry rampart
#

yay, fixed!

I just made the bottom part of the pillar onto the crib renovation, back1 layer. of course that means it doesnt have a floor behind it but no one's really gonna notice. it's a thing that exists in vanilla anyway

(my actual answer is yes though it might be a tough sell if that's the only thing the mod does)

well its more like do i make a transpiler just for this, which i will toss into the other pile of random map things

then yeah why not

#

Directory climbing. There's a command for it but I don't remember it.

#

It means you opened the map without the tilesheets in the same folder as the map and then pointed the map to it.

#

Which you are not supposed to do.

#

Easy fix!

pine elbow
#

So I have to bring them all to the same folder and resave it

vernal crest
#

Easier: open the .tmx file in a text editor.

#

Find the "source=../../Gaming/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Content (unpacked)/Maps/paths.png" line. Change to just "paths".

#

Repeat with any other sources.

pine elbow
#

So get rid of all png

vernal crest
#

No, get rid of the folder path

#

This is what the paths line should look like afterwards, as an example <image source="paths" width="64" height="256" />

#

I don't think it matters if you keep the ".png" or not, but vanilla maps don't include them.

Sorry for a wall of text.

I'm currently trying to figure out why a feature of a mod that recently got mostly fixed for 1.6 isn't working and I THINK I found the culprit? Basically in the ToolBelt mod, it has a feature to draw a backdrop behind items. But toggling the config fails to do anything in the current version. I was advised to come here since this is more of a coding related issue than a typical smapi errors thing. (In fact, smapi doesnt even acknowledge the config change, as those red ticks in the third image are when I changed the config and reused it the mod!)

So I did some decompiling and digging comparing the old and new code and using what baby brain knowledge of programming I have, I was able to find one conflicting thing that stuck out. While I know that the old and new code are drawing different...uhh commands? Arguments? I'm bad at the words... I more was wondering if the absence of the @ in the new code is the problem, as I know that the @ is used to say "Hey grab from the folder I'm also in!"

base.texture = this.helper.get_Content().Load<Texture2D>(@"assets\unselected.png", 1); <-- dead mod, but backdrop feature worked.

Texture2D textured = this.helper.get_ModContent().Load<Texture2D>("assets/unselected.png"); New mod that mostly works, but not backdrop.

This may not be the culprit at all and I could be in the wrong neck of the woods, but I gave myself hope and that was a mistake :v

Because if anyone else wants to make a mod with an asset called "ManureIcon" and they also decide not to use mod IDs or some other way of making their targets unique, your mods are going to conflict.

So regarding the toolbelt mod, with the following lines... Does the second line need the @ symbol to properly reference the same folder? Or is this another dead end regarding it failing to draw things probably lol

Texture2D textured = this.helper.get_ModContent().Load<Texture2D>("assets/unselected.png"); New mod that mostly works, but not backdrop.

So the mod broke in 1.6 and got fixed MOSTLY. But one feature does not work.

You can embed code in Discord using a series of three ` :

Your code can go here
Even if not a haiku
Just an example

For syntax highlighting, add the language code on the same line as the first

The usual codes are cs (C#) and json.

the issue is actually at the front of the line

true coyote

#

red - assigns texture to field, which draws it later.

#

blue. Assigns texture to local, which...does jack of all but waste a lot of cpu time, because the method immediately ends.

fast cairn
#

Ok good! I mean, in the sense that I was right it was that line. I'm not at home anymore lol but

calm nebula
#

tbh this is not the approach I would have taken at all (asset loads can be quite expensive, relatively, and I reckon you can get something to work in Maps/MenuTiles)

fast cairn
#

I thought maybe the difference at the start was connected to needing different arguments or commands because of 1.6 changes or something, cuz again I'm not actually very familiar with programming. Also that sometimes there's more than one way to do things

calm nebula
#

nah, in this case, a local is a local, a field is a field

#

a lot of this is just basic bitch C# stuff, nothing stardewy about it.

The glaring difference there was like so big I was like "that seems like a very intentional change, so maybe that was necessary for the fix"

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.

Hidden File Extensions

Windows and Mac hide most file extensions by default. If you are creating or updating mods, it's helpful to show file extensions so that you can be sure all mod files are named correctly.

To show file extensions on your computer:

On Windows 10, open File Explorer, click on the View tab, then check the File Name Extensions box.

On Windows 11, open File Explorer and click on View > Show > File Name Extensions.

On Mac, open Finder, and in the menu bar, click on Finder > Settings (or Preferences) > Advanced, then check the Show all filename extensions box.

To use this command, type !fileextensions.

C# question: I need to "or" a few things but I also need to evaluate all of them since I have out variables to collect from each thing. I always use || for my or-ing but in this case | seems better. They're all methods (various kinds of ArgUtility.TryGets). Is there a reason I shouldn't use | here or am I safe? (the alternative is a bunch of ifs in a row, which, fine, but feels messy)

brittle pasture
#

assign all of their return values to variables?

lucid iron
#

hm you dont want to short circuit?

brittle pasture
#

but I feel like having to use out variables (or side effects in general) in functions in conditionals sounds like code smell

#

probably a good idea to reconsider what should be the "real" return value of your functions
and dont use functions that have side effects in conditional checks

tender bloom
#

You can always set up them first and then or them

#

If you need em later naming them seems reasonable

half tangle
#

alright, good to know. I'm more or less following CA's coding in this case since he also does what I was describing

#

the ArgUtility.TryGets are often in if statement in his code

uncut viper
#

they dont use | though

lucid iron
#

thats the normal usecase of TryWhatever

half tangle
#

and then he uses the out variables for whatever is needed later

lucid iron
#

the out variable getting assigned is a side effect, but it's desired

#

the questionable part is doing that but discarding the out, which i hope u arent doing Bolb

half tangle
#

... I'm silly, I forgot a continue inside the if...

#

basically VSCode was yelling at me

#

I wasn't ditching the case if the trygets failed... and VSCode was like this, I don't like this

#

anyway, now I have if(tryget...) error, continue (with the foreach)
and that's actually what I wanted

brittle pasture
#

if you want to check them all at once in one if statement, the idea is that you only run if all of them succeeds

tender bloom
#

The decompile also doesn’t always match the original code

#

If you look at it and think “wtffff” there’s two possibilities

#

A) the decompiler B) it be that way (things happen)

half tangle
#

also good to know - and yeah, I realized like 5 minutes later that this was a bizarre situation to try to put my code in. I'm blaming the fact that I was rushing to finish the block of code instead of slowing down and making sense of it

there were 5 helpers for 1.6 I think, maybe just two now for 1.6.9, other than those handling the ports

lucid iron
#

back on bridge/z level though, i have vague idea about impl being like

#

touch tiledata where walking through puts you on a higher Z

#

and make tiles tagged with that Z have collision, while turning off collision for tiles tagged with different Z

placeables is prob lost cause for this ofc

Map Utilities

Map Utilities provides a broad range of features for map-makers to utilize. If there's something you wish you could do with your custom map, chances are Map Utilities can let you do it.

tender bloom
#

I suspect it works based on which direction you come from

#

I think mabel had a wonky perms sitch

#

like Esca in particular has permissions or something

#

like my understanding is that Mabel didn't intend closed source but ended up leaving before fully specifying

lucid iron
#

did maps change a lot between 1.4 and 1.6? relative to everything else

#

i was only aware of tbin -> tmx

#

the other impl i was imagine is that there's no Z level its still just a map

#

but we render tiles of a "previous" map as parallax bg

merry rampart
#

as far as i know, not really

#

there was probably a few map properties changed or addd

uncut viper
#

with the tile touch action thing how would you deal with teleporting

#

and thus potentially not exiting from the tile that changes your Z or perhaps arriving on a map at a tile that should have a specific Z but you never touched the tile to become that Z

brittle pasture
#

the farmer falls to their death of corse

lucid iron
#

yea that is like

#

for the map maker to account for

rancid temple
#

That might be why CA sets OnBridge to true to prevent them from being able to activate anything

lucid iron
#

by gating ppl with the right Z changing tiles monS

uncut viper
#

i dont think thats on the map maker when there are vanilla ways to teleport

rancid temple
#

If you can't use your teleportation scepter, you can't fuck that up

uncut viper
#

how would they account for the return scepter and a custom farm

rancid temple
#

Or totems lol

lucid iron
#

oh the Z stuff would have to be local per map

#

its not for persist i feel bolbthinking

rancid temple
#

So just reset on location change?

lucid iron
#

yea gotta start ppl back at 0

#

its not a great system really, especially not for map making side

#

but more control than simple directional check

uncut viper
#

what if the tile they get warped onto is supposed to be like z2 tho

lucid iron
#

perhaps an addition would be

#

edge based properties think

uncut viper
#

since events or actions can warp the player to any arbitrary map and tile

lucid iron
#

oh yea events yggy

#

ok its doomed

#

pull the idea back out at the next mod jam

what are you trying to do though

sorry

#

I didnt even see your message until Casey pointed it out

#

whats the reason for the invalidcastexception then

calm nebula
#

Because it isn't of that type

#

And yes while you can do (A)theThing if it is A

#

I super don't recommend it

#

Unless it's fully internal types, I wouldn't trust any game state to be sane or what you thought it was 0.1 seconds ago

#

In this case I'm questioning everything

#
  1. No need for subclass, just harmony that shit
#
  1. You need to instantiate as your type if you want to subclass
#
  1. "Just" casting it doesn't work
#
  1. Why in AssetRequested? The game needs to request the asset to be able to construct the location in the first place
#

Oh look bedtime for atra

velvet narwhal
#

oh no, more harmony crimes

calm nebula
#

Hell if you didn't want to harmony it just set those fields in saveloaded/savecreated

#

Done

lucid iron
#

Isn't this where u do
if (instance is Type realInstance)

calm nebula
#

Yeah, I tend to do that, or (instance as Type)?.singleMethodCall()

brittle pasture
lucid iron
#

Still if u r do custom location class then u need the spacecore wheels

brittle pasture

(Though it would have been null right)

lucid iron
#

We just went through this with the lava logic

velvet narwhal
#

oh this is my c# editing a cp loaded location

lucid iron
#

It's same thing

calm nebula
#

(You super don't need a custom subclass hete)

brittle pasture
lucid iron
#

Since u have a relatively simple change tho I guess u can just postfix the constructor or something?

#

Or find appropriate event to load and reflect the field at

#

Save loaded or smth

velvet narwhal
#

if it's postfixing i can probably wrangle around it again but i'm not anywhere near transpiling

lucid iron
#

But I wonder if making your location just indoor + treatasoutdoors would do what u want monS

this is what I would do.

Hi Pathos! I have a stupid question. This block here checks for a dialoguekey that starts with Resort

but it will never start with Resort, since dialogue_key is the full key with asset name included.

Can you add a beta bug report for that? We'll need to look into the implications of fixing it (e.g. making sure all NPCs have proper dialogue for the broken key).

velvet narwhal
fast cairn

I was able to edit the lines of code, but I can't get it to... build? I guess is the word?

what IDE are you using? cause the modbuildconfig should package it all up into a .dll

I'm using um jetbrains?

SDVpufferthink is it different from rider to add the nuget i don't know

ivory plume
#

Rider supports NuGet packages and should work pretty much the same way as Visual Studio, though the UI will be a bit different.

uncut viper
#

it should be in the top toolbar under Tools > Nuget > Manage nuget packages

#

itll open a list of packages in... some section of your UI i moved mine so idk the default. search for the modbuild package then right click > install

#

to create the project itself you want to look for New Solution instead of just "Create a new project" and then the rest looks pretty similar, just class library on the left side and the target framework option will be there when you click it
