[rancid temple]

The crane game

Specifically

[velvet narwhal]

oh the different prizes thing

[rancid temple]

I was waiting for SpaceCore to get virtual currency back in the Api, which it does have now on the beta lol

I think I have it working again, just need to do more testing to make sure I've got it working correctly

Kind of requires either being on the beta or the release of 1.6.9 though

[vernal crest]

Then I am sure they would love to trade some art to you

(I speak as Pau's friend btw not just randomly throwing other cheetos into commitments haha)

[rancid temple]

Current functionality is custom prizes, cost, and rare hidden prize chance changes. With the prizes using item queries so they have the full power of CP behind them

[velvet narwhal]

what the heo

    <PackageReference Include="Pathoschild.Stardew.ModBuildConfig" Version="4.3.0" />
</ItemGroup>```
??

is there another secret config somewhere i've missed

[lucid iron]

no it looks like vs cached the nuget version

Tools → Options → NuGet Package Manager → General: Clear Package Cache

dont quote me idk what a VS is

and ofc make sure u set this on the right project n shit

[velvet narwhal]

yeah i'm sitting on the solution

[rancid temple]

I need something that goes through all my mods and updates my nuget because ugh

[velvet narwhal]

okay, that was weird

[lucid iron]

is there a point in doing that

if you dont need new features

[velvet narwhal]

roku also wants the folder packing

but probably not

[rancid temple]

Oh I dunno, I'm crazy and want all my stuff updated whenever it can be lmao

[brave fable]

you want to update software? you are crazy

[lucid iron]

1.23 (360 ↗ 361) for mysterious reasons.

[rancid temple]

The only updates I don't want are for windows

[velvet narwhal]

that one mod is bluebs

[rancid temple]

I pushed a button on my keyboard to turn on my screen this morning to be greeted with the fucking login screen, absolute rage

[brave fable]

currently looking at my desktop with windows, firefox, fork, discord, vs, vscode, and sublime with their stupid update notices

[uncut viper]

is this where chu attempts to convince you to move to linux

[rancid temple]

If I could afford Rider, I would actually consider it lmao

[uncut viper]

(what is fork?)

[brave fable]

fork is sourcetree, but better

[uncut viper]

ahh, gotcha

[brave fable]

and again, cooking-themed

[uncut viper]

(what is sourcetree?) (/j bc i can look this up better than i can look up fork)

[brave fable]

sourcetree is Github Desktop but better

[rancid temple]

googles fork 🍴

[uncut viper]

just ~borrow~ someones .edu email

[rancid temple]

Well, with any luck I'll have my own access to it next year

[velvet narwhal]

does rider have a timer on it?

i should probably yoink while i still have my student email

[uncut viper]

the day i lose rider access is the day i quit stardew modding. maybe

if you stop being a student you stop getting the license

[rancid temple]

Does the student access work the same way as paid access?

[uncut viper]

you have to renew yearly

it does not

if you mean in terms of keeping the last version you got

[rancid temple]

Eugh

[brave fable]

you're given a 1-year grace period after your student license expires, which is nice

[lucid iron]

is there advantage of rider if ur on windows

[uncut viper]

but in terms of using it while you have access afaik its not different but idk im not a poweruser

[lucid iron]

rider over VS i mean

[uncut viper]

its better

[rancid temple]

It has better IL... debugging? Something

[velvet narwhal]

shrimply, work in education and get an edu email--
probably not, i'm transitioning to linux eventually though

[brave fable]

if you like rider more than vs it's an advantage hahah

[lucid iron]

fair enough

[uncut viper]

im on windows and use Rider for all my modding stuff bc of that

[lucid iron]

just be like that person who build mods with dnspy

[rancid temple]

When Abs0rbed was helping me learn to transpile, they showed some cool Rider features that really would have helped vs trying to manually find my way through the IL

[uncut viper]

(and also a bunch of other jetbrains software but mostly rider)

[lucid iron]

none of this IDE talk

[velvet narwhal]

shrimply, make all of your maps with text

[uncut viper]

i used to use dnSpy to help me make my transpilers

so thats like, halfway there ish sorta

[lucid iron]

oh yea my look at IL solution is uh

ctrl+f the whole stardew valley.il until i find the function i want

[velvet narwhal]

speaking of

[brave fable]

hand-written tiled xml files by quill and ink, transcribed by buddhist monks using wordpad

artisanal modding..

[uncut viper]

i just keep ILSpy like permanently open in case i ever need to look at the code or IL

and also so that i can quickly search things if someone asks a question in here that the code can answer

[lucid iron]

buttonsearch > elasticsearch

[velvet narwhal]

YEAH

THAT WAS A MISTAKE

grabs log

https://smapi.io/log/7356e6a1fb784cf88e37ad1d5e6e0d32

[ocean sail]

Log Info: SMAPI 4.1.0-beta.4 with SDV 1.6.9 'beta' build 24283 on Microsoft Windows 10 Home, with 12 C# mods and 6 content packs.
Suggested fixes: One or more mods are out of date, consider updating them

[uncut viper]

something is null that should not be null

or that you are not handling if it is null

[velvet narwhal]

{
    foreach (Building building in __instance.buildings)
    {
        BuildingData data = building.GetData();
        data.CustomFields.TryGetValue("Aviroen.AtraAntiCrow", out string? customString);
        if (bool.TryParse(customString, result: out bool stringActivated) && stringActivated)
        {
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true;
}```

[lucid iron]

oh why is it ref Farm

[uncut viper]

customString might be null

[velvet narwhal]

oh-

[uncut viper]

and also yeah you dont want ref farm

i mean probably not

[velvet narwhal]

cause addCrows is in- oh

[lucid iron]

i doubt that'd break anything but u know, ref let u change Farm but u dont need to?

[brave fable]

you're more likely to want it than not, it doesn't make much difference if you're not changing properties of the farm

[uncut viper]

ref means you can modify the Farm that is passed into the function and it will change the original

but you just wanna skip things and dont need to mess with the farm

[lucid iron]

what is the meaning of assigning to a ref T __instance anyways

[velvet narwhal]

i was copying atra's original harmony crime

wait i added ref on accident

{
    return !__instance.buildings.Any(static building => building.buildingType.Value == "Aviroen.AtraAntiCrow");
}```

[uncut viper]

__instance in this case would be the farm itself so yeah the ref wouldnt be necessary

[heady crest]

guys, i just realized i need to makea house for my NPC, but i also realized i suck at pixel art, are there any custom sheets for house tiles for me to use? i couldnt find any on the unpacked folder

[brittle pasture]

Also this doesnt really matter but I recommend putting the TryGet into the same if statement as the TryParse

[heady crest]

or do i just suck it up and face it that i need to make my own despite the fact i suck at pixel art

[uncut viper]

you could always just edit the existing house tiles on existing tilesheets

[brittle pasture]

( also do we need TryParse? Just the value being present is probably sufficient, since there's probably no point to setting the key to false if you can just delete it)

[lucid iron]

you got spring_town and townInterior

[heady crest]

😮‍💨

[lucid iron]

(and summer_town fall_town winter_town)

[rancid temple]

Maps/spring_outdoorsTileSheet should have a lot of buildings on it you can futz with

[heady crest]

yeah but i dont want to just copypaste the build or recolor it

[rancid temple]

Well, looking at it not a lot, but there are some on there

[heady crest]

would feel too low effort

[uncut viper]

tbh id probably just do it anyway just to make it more clear that if its false its intentional rather than just mistakenly missing

[lucid iron]

then u just gotta draw

[rancid temple]

I would at least start with something like that as a placeholder and decide where to go from there

[lucid iron]

u can commission custom assets later if u want

[vernal crest]

There are plenty of custom tilesheet mods you could use if you wanted a different route - if you're talking about the exterior, Lumi has some really beautiful buildings on their outdoor tilesheet mod

[uncut viper]

(my NPCs house is just a recolour of one of the existing houses, so without any bias at all id say i think its fine )

[vernal crest]

Another option with vanilla assets is frankensteining

[heady crest]

https://tenor.com/view/my-honest-reaction-my-reaction-my-honest-reaction-meme-my-reaction-to-that-information-reaction-gif-15600378618264653600

[velvet narwhal]

you can also see if anything interests you in: https://opengameart.org/ and make sure of their permissions

[tiny zealot]

!anyonecancook

[vernal crest]

Bit more work but you get something a bit different

[ocean sail]

To use this command, type !anyonecancook.

[brave fable]

really for now just use an existing house without any changes, it's not like you need a fancy sprite to test the mod

[heady crest]

might use that lol

[brittle pasture]

You can get very far just frankensteining vanilla sprites

[vernal crest]

Itch also has a good selection of free or very low cost pixel art assets (though you have to make sure to get the right resolution and perspective)

[heady crest]

thats right

[heady crest]

wat lol

[heady crest]

yeahhhhh i was actually considering that

might not be a bad idea

[uncut viper]

it means its not true that someone cant do something like art, anyone can if they try, gotta believe in yourself

[heady crest]

aw

[rancid temple]

Most of my custom tilesheets are just ripping out vanilla sprites and editing them lol

[tiny zealot]

anyone can cook. everyone who is good at pixel art had to learn it. and learning is just not being afraid to be bad at something before you get good

[velvet narwhal]

my tilesheets for my custom maps are just an overlay on the water

[lucid iron]

say is there a role for map making

[rancid temple]

I think probably just content smith

[velvet narwhal]

but that might dip into pixelsmith

[lucid iron]

like we have contentsmith blacksmith (C#) pixelsmith (arts) contentsmith(i dunno other stuff?)

[heady crest]

yall are too optmistic

im not used to this

[rancid temple]

Blacksmith is C#

Contentsmith is CP

Generally

[uncut viper]

content smith is content packs, rather

[lucid iron]

yea derp

[vernal crest]

We are a pretty supportive community and we like it when people try things that are a bit out of their comfort zone and then feel proud of themselves.

[lucid iron]

ig writing & events goes in contentsmith too

[brave fable]

personally, i like to watch people fail 😌

[uncut viper]

content just a catchall for whatevers left over really

[heady crest]

is this still a valid way of making randomized dialogue? i saw it on a tutorial but idk if it still holds up

[heady crest]

das nice

[uncut viper]

you can still do this or you can do i18n randomization too

[vernal crest]

It is! Though I'd recommend using i18n.

Or you can be like me before Pooh taught me dynamic tokens and use both xD

[heady crest]

i have no idea of what that is

i checked the SVE folders and saw that 100% of the dialogue grabs stuff from that folder

and it just made my head hurt

[uncut viper]

do you know how to use i18n in general? if so, you can use the CP randomization stuff to pick random i18n tokens

[heady crest]

nuh

ive never done anything with stardew before

[rancid temple]

i18n is translations

[uncut viper]

i18n just stands for internationalization aka translations, so if you use i18n it means you can support other languages if people wanna translate your mod

[heady crest]

the closest thing to modding ive ever done before was in fnf lol

[heady crest]

yeah i noticed taht after opening it and seeing lots of language named files in there

[uncut viper]

CP has i18n tokens that will grab things from the i18n folder and grab the right dialogue from the right file according to which language the player has their game set to (assuming a translation for that language exists, if not it defaults to default.json which is often just english)

but if you combine i18n tokens with the Random token you can randomly choose different things f rom your i18n files

[velvet narwhal]

i bet you just get the popcorn ready whenever i crack open the c# huh?

[brave fable]

i keep a portable popper handy for just such an occasion

[velvet narwhal]

i had the example right in front of me for the null thing dammit

okay it's something else

but now is gym time, i perish

{
    foreach (Building building in __instance.buildings)
    {
        BuildingData data = building.GetData();
        if (data != null && data.CustomFields.TryGetValue("Aviroen.AtraAntiCrow", out string? customString))
        {
            if (bool.TryParse(customString, result: out bool stringActivated) && stringActivated)
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    return true;
}```

Suggested fixes: One or more mods are out of date, consider updating them

[brave fable]

CustomFields is typically null, isn't it?

[heady crest]

checked that mod and saw a cute house but its too big for my likings, is it alright for someone to take an asset from a mod and edit to their likings?

[brittle pasture]

Yep

[uncut viper]

if its for strictly personal use, no one can really stop you

[lucid iron]

yea u need to do it like this

data.CustomFields is Dictionary<string, string> customFields && customFields.ContainsKey(thekey)

[brave fable]

if (building.GetData() is BuildingData data && data.CustomFields?.TryGetValue("Aviroen.AtraAntiCrow", out string? customString))

(this might need to end with is bool b && b)

[heady crest]

nice

[velvet narwhal]

throws it all into comments to read over

[lucid iron]

well, pick one or the other

[brittle pasture]

do we need a ?? false at the end? I dont have my computer to check (it's in 10000 pieces on the floor)

oh nvm I saw your edited comment lol

[brave fable]

?? false is probably better

[uncut viper]

(in Avi's defense it looks like the example on how to use Custom fields on the wiki doesnt do the null check )

[brave fable]

i hate the is b and also b pattern

[lucid iron]

looking forward to selph's extra pc configs

[velvet narwhal]

I'm using the same null check from the adoption thing as a safety net

[brittle pasture]

1.7.0
only change: adds nullable annotation to the entire codebase
modders everywhere rejoice

[velvet narwhal]

If imma commit harmony crimes I'll at least cover my tracks

[uncut viper]

the only change i want in 1.7.0 is for everything to be changed from data models to slash delimited strings

this would be objectively worse but i think itd be funny

[lucid iron]

nou

[velvet narwhal]

April fools

[rancid temple]

(computers work better in one piece on your desk )

[uncut viper]

you keep your computer ON your desk?

[brave fable]

you keep your computer in ONE piece?

[rancid temple]

Yeah, I have cats, so cat hair

[vernal crest]

Like Button said: for personal use it's fine. Lumi doesn't allow edits to their tilesheets for mods that are shared with others though.

[brittle pasture]

I cant watch the rgb lightshow if it's not

[velvet narwhal]

[rancid temple]

I swapped my side panels to block the RGB lmfao

[uncut viper]

i could lie my entire PC down on a sheet of printer paper and it'd be small enough to fit and i still think id be too annoyed at how much space itd take up on my desk top

[rancid temple]

Wow, that's small

Mine is eating about 30% of my desk currently

[velvet narwhal]

Oh a nano, I just have a micro

[heady crest]

fair enough, i guess if i ever decide to make my mod public i'd just revert it to the original mod's one then

[vernal crest]

I can't fit anything on my desk other than my gigantic tower and my powerboard

[uncut viper]

i mean you'd need to make sure you had permission to do that, too. i dont know the specific mod in question but its likely you'd need to remove the tilesheet entirely from yours and only reference theirs in your map (thus making theirs a requirement)

[vernal crest]

Yeah it'd have to be as a dependency but that wouldn't be difficult to change to

[heady crest]

yeah thats what i meant

not include the sheet on my folders

[lucid iron]

what does precision do

[uncut viper]

uh. in what context

[lucid iron]

monster takeDamage

[tender bloom]

is this weapons?

[lucid iron]

i see some stuff about a chance to miss

[tender bloom]

i think it might be a weapon stat but it might also be totally useless

[lucid iron]

but i thought u could only ever always miss (like downed mummies) or just hit

[tender bloom]

i also agree that sounds right, i think missing got mostly nerfed out of the game at some point or something?

[lucid iron]

thank u mr ape i hate when i miss randomly

[vernal crest]

This doesn't work as a condition, right? "Condition": "RANDOM 0.25 SEASON spring, summer, fall",

[lucid iron]

xcom97%.png

[uncut viper]

you'd need a comma between the queries

[vernal crest]

Like "Condition": "RANDOM 0.25, SEASON spring, summer, fall",? But also there shouldn't be commas between the seasons, I don't think.

[uncut viper]

correct about the commas between the seasons, i missed that too but otherwise yaya

[vernal crest]

Or maybe you need SEASON spring, SEASON summer, SEASON fall...I can't remember.

[uncut viper]

no SEASON can take multiple args

RANDOM 0.25, SEASON spring summer fall

[vernal crest]

Okay cool

[uncut viper]

that will be true 25% of the time as long as its not winter

if its winter it will never be true

[vernal crest]

All right, thank you :) Time for a bug report.

[lucid iron]

u could !SEASON winter if u want

[vernal crest]

Not my mod

[rancid temple]

60% of the time, it works every time

[vernal crest]

Had a support user with a lot of this error: Failed parsing condition 'summer': 'summer' isn't a known query or alias..

[uncut viper]

the original GSQ will absolutely just throw an error in the console as soon as it loads so im surprised it wasnt caught

[rancid temple]

I mean, I've seen some of the mods some people put on Nexus, I'm not

[vernal crest]

A lot of players ignore a lot of red errors in their console as long as their game isn't crashing so I guess nobody has brought it up before.

[uncut viper]

i just meant like. you'd notice as soon as you tried testing it at all. so i guess if you just release a mod completely untested...

[vernal crest]

Yeah I cannot speak for the mod author haha

[velvet narwhal]

Me I am that author

[rancid temple]

I was thinking more like your stray

[lucid iron]

maybe they just only tested in winter

[velvet narwhal]

Tbf my red errors are triggered so late into a playthrough sometimes it's hard for me to catch

[rancid temple]

Yeah, I can't imagine testing an NPC lol

[uncut viper]

it would error as soon as the GSQ was attempting to be parsed

[rancid temple]

I would have to move everything I wanted to test to the front one at a time

[velvet narwhal]

Like thankfully I caught my own red errors out of BETAS (my own syntax being wrong) but because it was set to synced random after marriage... I didn't care

I aim to have the confidence in my c# as I do with my trigger action chaos

[acoustic summit]

I haven't made a cp mod since I spent a month working on a romanceable sandy mod before 1.6 was rolling out and I got depressed by everything breaking haha

[random gyro]

hy i am new

[brittle pasture]

Late reply but I recall some monsters SVE's Badlands monsters have 50% evasion, and you need infinity weapons (which have boosted accuracy) to actually hit them

[random gyro]

can i earn money from this game

[brittle pasture]

I dunno if that's still a thing though

[velvet narwhal]

Now see that's when you take the looping red errors as a badge of honor

[uncut viper]

what do you mean earn money

[random gyro]

yes

[velvet narwhal]

Making mods? Best not to bet your life savings on it

[lucid iron]

huh i never had the bravery to go there without infinity sord

[acoustic summit]

I saw it as a badge of move on 🥹

[vernal crest]

Yes you too can earn literal cents from making mods!

[acoustic summit]

Was a fun intro

[rancid temple]

I made $12 over the course of... 4 months now?

With 12 more pending

[acoustic summit]

Im nearing 10 bucks in two months

[random gyro]

oh

[brave fable]

so champ, you thinking of sticking around and earning big bucks with the rest of us

[vernal crest]

I had DP enabled for a grand total of 60 downloads so as you can imagine I am rolling in dough

[random gyro]

so pixels is a good game i earn daily 3 doller

[rancid temple]

Oh so it's like an ad

[brave fable]

now divide that figure by 30

[lucid iron]

whats up with this particular channel today

[velvet narwhal]

Is it another bot

[lucid iron]

where are these ppl coming from

[rancid temple]

The wide web

[velvet narwhal]

Press the red button if you're being held at gunpoint

I think bc stardew is 50% off again?

[uncut viper]

i was gonna ask if they could pass the turing test but i thought that mightve been too mean, but it looks like it mightve been pertinent

[rancid temple]

Oh fr?

[lucid iron]

i think only the most popular modders make minimum wage or above off dp

[brave fable]

i would've thought the $8,000USD price point for sdv was enough to deter the cheapskates. or maybe that's why people want to get some money back

[humble timber]

LMAO

[brittle pasture]

if ur not a bot type "I like delicious cromulent veggies"

[dusty scarab]

me: someone requested more crab pot locations for the farm map, that should be easy!
also me: if I make the map one tile taller, I can add more waterfalls to the new area! waterfalls are beautiful!
also also me, playtesting: why is the note for grandpa's shrine off by one tile? and the farm cave entrance? and the greenhouse? and the farm house entrance? and literally every other warp tile?
also also also me: incrementing up all my Y axis warp points by one, rueing the waterfalls and my decision to add them

[acoustic summit]

Its for love 🙂

[vernal crest]

So grateful I bought it before the $8,000 🙏

[rancid temple]

They might need to copy paste it, lol

[velvet narwhal]

for $8000/mo I will shut up

[lucid iron]

its on sale for 82500||₫||!

[haughty charm]

[velvet narwhal]

Is it because it's called "general"?

So they get auto redirected to this channel somehow?

[uncut viper]

(hello logo!)

[rancid temple]

Oh no, pretend to be talking about mods

[haughty charm]

Hullo

yes yes

make mods

all the mod making

I'm making a mod

[vernal crest]

Wow you sure do fit right in here Logo

[humble timber]

making mods hard

[lucid iron]

a modding mod

[uncut viper]

i dont think i need to make mods anymore if i can make daily 3 dollar from pixels, so this might be the last you see of me in here

[dusty scarab]

at least it's cute? XD

[haughty charm]

I'm a cheeto under this green

[humble timber]

well
not hard
moreso
i do not have the energy....

[rancid temple]

Moldy cheeto?

[humble timber]

logo is a moldy cheeto yes

[uncut viper]

why did your mind go to mold before lime

[vernal crest]

I'm a Junimo under this orange - wait no

[velvet narwhal]

Man I want lime hot cheetos now

[humble timber]

wait what's despacito under cheeto called. do we have a name for that

[lucid iron]

hm how do i expose ways for people to upgrade a trinket

[brittle pasture]

anvil

[lucid iron]

yea i was thinking that but idk maybe they want event to do so?

[uncut viper]

is the upgrading separate from the reforging

[lucid iron]

yes cus it'd be +1, not reroll

reroll i impl already

[rancid temple]

Trinket anvil (jeweler's bench)

[brave fable]

Trimmed Lucky Purple Shorts

[uncut viper]

most people probably wouldnt question it if you just made it a simple machine tbh

[velvet narwhal]

(Actual modding note, I have no idea what other chaos I can cause in custom fields I did contemplate that bus cutscene as a toggle)

[lucid iron]

anvil would be simple ofc, maybe modder just make a special fuel

and use the alternate output method that i impl to do +1

[brittle pasture]

I feel like they can just define their upgrade as an additional trinket and add their own machine fules

[dusty scarab]

despacheeto

[rancid temple]

Oh yeah, I need to decide for my bus mod if I'm gonna try to keep the bus animations

[lucid iron]

well, i cant stop them obviously

but i am letting ppl define entirely different abilities per level too

[haughty charm]

I've already descended into the madness, but for custom farm animals, can I use a random token in the ProduceItemIds ItemID field?

[rancid temple]

Easier to just not use them, but I dunno maybe some people like them

[lucid iron]

i was trying to think of how u might do so with a trigger action, which does take in item

[velvet narwhal]

more custom fields
work on Marlon mod
work on expansion
attempt karaoke ui with focustense's stardewui

drowning

[lucid iron]

can it take a particular inventory item?

[lucid iron]

stardewui is not for this at all dont do it

[brittle pasture]

You can do random tokens, but then every animal of that type will produce that produce that day

[latent mauve]

Hey friends, is there a way for me to set a specific filepath via a config (like making it a token) and then make an EditMap patch using that token? I'm trying to figure out if there's a way I can still have two different bathroom sizes via config for my bathroom mod and only patch the farmhouse once to avoid the weird empty spouse room/vanished cellar issues you get from patching it mid-save.

[uncut viper]

does that already use common item spawn fields that have randomitemid (or w/e it is) in them? bc the Random token will be the same for all of them each day, i think?

i might be confusing something about pinned keys though idk i dont use the random token much admittedly

[brittle pasture]

If you add multiple produce to the animal's produce list the game will pick randomly from them

No need for a token

[lucid iron]

im sure focustense can explain it better but see it's a ui framework that only do "updates" when it knows it needs to

[latent mauve]

Alternatively, if it makes no sense to try to work around it that way, I just toss out the patch version of my bathroom mod and only allow the renovation method going forward.

[lucid iron]

mostly when layout needs to be maffed again

it's not fit for minigame where u want stateful updates to happen every tick

so that u can detect key press and score player on it

[rancid temple]

According to the wiki, ProduceItemIds doesn't use item spawn fields

[haughty charm]

I'm trying to find an easier way than typing out the possible produce. So this is what I thought might work:

//Fall items - regular
    {

[brittle pasture]

You can add each of them as their own entry in ProduceItemIds

[uncut viper]

if you make the filepath into a config and use the config itself as a token in the FromFile of your EditMap does that work? i might not 100% be understanding what you're lookin for here tho

[haughty charm]

That's what I wanted to avoid, since each has the same condition. sadness.

[rancid temple]

Gotta convince Pathos to add item spawn fields to farm animal produce before 1.6.9

[brittle pasture]

It's annoying, but it is what it is

[brave fable]

are you allowed to define the condition as a token to use throughout the whole file

[haughty charm]

I could ask, but it's likely too late for that

[lucid iron]

well it can always go in the next version of a certain framework mod

[latent mauve]

Currently it loads a specific tmx depending on a config option to the Farmhouse2 and Farmhouse2_Marriage map, which, if the config is changed anywhere but in the title screen, the farmhouse gets upset and vanishes the cellar and spouse rooms.

[brittle pasture]

(Extra Animal Config do add item queries for animal produce, but you presumably don't want an entire dependency just for this. It also doesn't play nicely with Lookup Anything)

[brittle pasture]

way ahead of you

[haughty charm]

sigh guess I'll just go back to copypasta

[velvet narwhal]

How'd Casey's pr for templates go?

[lucid iron]

awaiting

[uncut viper]

you could make a dynamic token whose value changes based on the config token and use the dynamic token as a When condition on the map patch, but it'll still make the map reload the patch when the token changes bc thats just how tokens work

but it'd move the reloading to overnight, i think

which might be better? shrugs

[velvet narwhal]

You can do the fromfile as a config, I unfortunately don't have a ref because I didn't push to git

[uncut viper]

this causes the vanishing problem though, evidently

[latent mauve]

Sadly that still won't fix the underlying issue, sleeping doesn't revert the farmhouse freakout, only reloading the save from the title does. So loading it from a config might not even solve it

[rancid temple]

Just gotta move to patching it with C#

[uncut viper]

its not an issue im familiar with so im not sure if theres a way around it besides a C# component since GMCM C# lets you make something only changeable on the title screen

[latent mauve]

And the Farmhouse Fixes mod, which supposedly fixes that issue for some folks completely breaks when used with my mod, so that's fun.

[uncut viper]

(iirc)

[heady crest]

is there anywhere, like a dedicated server or smth where i could find someone to make character portraits 4 me? i was checking kofi for some commissions but the first 3 i found were like 80 dollars for portrait and overworld sprites and im not made of money atm lol

[uncut viper]

!commissions

[ocean sail]

If you're looking for people who do mod commissions (either art or code), here's a wiki page with a non-comprehensive list of people who do them: https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Stardew_Mod_Commissions

To use this command, type !commissions.

[uncut viper]

good commissions are not often cheap

[latent mauve]

Yeah, if I can't do it without adding C#, I am just gonna throw the option away entirely. Once 1.6.9 drops, I won't need the patch version to work anyway.

[heady crest]

yes i noticed

[vernal crest]

$40 USD is the minimum I've seen for portraits

And that's not including sprites

[heady crest]

the best one i found was 50 for portraits only

[latent mauve]

Patch version of my bathroom mod is literally just so my group can decorate walls and flooring until the renovation walls and floors code change is implemented in the stable version

Which will be in 1.6.9

[vernal crest]

Last (and only) time I commissioned portraits it was $50 for one expression but two ethnicity variants.

[heady crest]

😮‍💨 i need to get a job

[velvet narwhal]

[uncut viper]

i hear pixels has 3 doller waiting for you

[velvet narwhal]

I haven't set any specifics to my commission pag-- HAHA

[latent mauve]

I can't even motivate myself to finish my own portraits

[velvet narwhal]

But I'm honestly in a burnout phase art wise

[latent mauve]

I feel like I've been working on my 40+ NPC portraits for entirely too long

I have less than 15 portraits to go at this point but I open my art program, see who's up next and go "nah"

[teal bridge]

That really depends on the details. Animations happen every tick and they are part of the system already.

[lucid iron]

i think aviroen wants to make something like DDR

a number of notes as defined by model would animate across screen at given time

[brave fable]

omg this is the perfect use for a marquee

[latent mauve]

Anyone here ever played the flash game version of DDR?

[teal bridge]

It's never (well, rarely) going to be any less performant than a vanilla UI that does its computations on every frame, it might be just as bad if you force a full-tree layout on every frame, but in the majority of cases it's still many times faster because it's only updating the parts that need to be updated, not redoing the whole UI.

[latent mauve]

Flash flash revolution is what it was called I think, it was a long time ago

[teal bridge]

There's already one of those 'member? I played your meme straight.

[lucid iron]

i can sort of imagine doing such a thing with bindings for margins on a bunch of panels but uh

it seems very round peg square hole to me

[teal bridge]

That being said, if there's no layout to speak of and you're just positioning stuff at arbitrary positions on screen, maybe it's not a good use. If it's content that's just scrolling right to left in a straight line, that might be a marquee, literally.

[latent mauve]

I honestly would like to see more minigame mods

[brave fable]

i like making minigames. it's just hard to make the mod they're meant to be in lol

[tender bloom]

I wanted to make a minigame but it was extremely difficult so I just janked up the existing fishing one

For fireworks festival, I wanted to have the thing where you catch goldfish with a fragile net thing

Instead I smooshed the fishing minigame into being located in the submarine and rewarded you in carp

[lucid iron]

i want a mahjong mod

i do not know how to play mahjong

[tender bloom]

There was a chess mod

[brave fable]

how do you see the fireworks from a submarine

[latent mauve]

Would it be hard to make a fishing mini game that had you target certain rings for prizes based on cast level?

[tender bloom]

It's a minigame inside the fireworks festival

the fireworks viewing is the ending event and takes place aboveground

like you enter festival, you can optionally do the fishing minigame for carp to trade to the fox for clothing

but you can also just skip and go straight to the fireworks watching

[velvet narwhal]

Ah I would have to look up marquees

But that's for when Uber yells at me to work on that mod

[tender bloom]

(fireworks festival was for a mod jam so there was also a certain amount of "oh hell, it's good enough, ship")

[brave fable]

you should absolutely not make a ddr minigame using html marquees

[latent mauve]

I do like that spacecore allows for custom currency for mini games now

[uncut viper]

next mod jam when

[lucid iron]

mod jam overrated, need mod pickles

[tender bloom]

i heard a rumor of a fall event.....

so maybe maybe

[uncut viper]

your name is red so im taking it as fact

[tender bloom]

Lol I regret to say I am not involved this go around

If there is one I don't actually know anything

[uncut viper]

too late ive already told everyone i know and said it was personally assured by a doctor no less

/lh

[tender bloom]

A witch doctor

[brave fable]

mod jam helper huh

[tender bloom]

I helped last year!

[latent mauve]

Are we allowed to work on our long term mods during mod jam? XD

[tender bloom]

I made very cute prizes

You can work on them!

You probably can't submit them

[latent mauve]

That's fine

[tender bloom]

But you won't finish them anyways during the time 😛

(jokes, jokes)

[uncut viper]

dont the mod jams give you a concept you need to base the mod off anyway

[latent mauve]

I just want to be fueled by the motivation of other people producing things to get progress done, LOL

[tender bloom]

Typically yes, though depending on the mod it might fit

I should work on my long-term mod project

Somewhere in my spreadsheet there's something about minigames

[velvet narwhal]

We stare at logo, longingly

[uncut viper]

so what youre saying is, we should learn how to rewrite our git history timestamps

[tender bloom]

That's like several versions in though and honestly probably not

[brave fable]

how's your equally impossible mod going

[tender bloom]

it's not, I became a professor instead

I last made progress in like....2023

[brave fable]

oh nice, mine isn't either. matching outfits

twins, even

[tender bloom]

testing stuff for the alpha for 1.6 also really derailed me

[velvet narwhal]

The original concept is just ripping apart target game

[uncut viper]

(actually i am curious since i wasnt here for the past Any of them, how long of a time limit was given for past mod jams?)

[tender bloom]

completely 100% identical twins

[latent mauve]

Maybe for mod jam I can actually work on some of my smaller ideas. Like making Pierre a better person.

[tender bloom]

I think we gave like 10 days or 2 weeks

[latent mauve]

"smaller" is relative

[tender bloom]

In the past past there have been weekend ones

[brave fable]

events are usually 2 weeks, occasionally 3

[tender bloom]

but somewhere between 24 hours and 1 month is a pretty safe bet

[uncut viper]

[velvet narwhal]

Oh I can definitely push out a shitty mothman in that time-- okay not 24h

[tender bloom]

I hope there's a way to go purple

I love when events and I can be purple again

the problem is I'm only purple reaaaaaally deep down in my heart

[uncut viper]

trade with me i wanna be red

[brave fable]

i heard rumour of role colours....

[tender bloom]

I am attached to being orange mechanistically

[brave fable]

but i'm not involved either 😌

[brittle pasture]

yeah apparently if you make a mod you get an orange name

[tender bloom]

which presents the fundamental problem

mods > colors

[latent mauve]

I usually go red or purple in channels where you can set it because of my username but orange is close enough xD

[tender bloom]

purple is my favorite color

I am apparently super obvious about this irl

[brave fable]

sorry to lord over you with our red and purple names

[latent mauve]

Red for name, purple because favorite

[tender bloom]

one of my friends mentioned "I don't usually know people's favorite colors, but I definitely know yours"

[latent mauve]

Purple is subjectively the best color

[lucid iron]

attac rectangle

[tender bloom]

My office is purple

purple wall, purple chair, purple cushions

[lucid iron]

i put too much knockback

[uncut viper]

i dont know if its intentional but please keep the bat being flung off into fucking nowhere bc it was so unexpected and made me laugh

[tender bloom]

is the rectangle attacking you or the bats?

[ashen oak]

Oh are colors happening

[tender bloom]

we are twiddling our fingers hoping for colors

[lucid iron]

the rectangle is my test sprite

[tender bloom]

in the total absence of confirmation

[latent mauve]

We are dreaming of colors

[lucid iron]

oh color mask was implemented a while ago

[tender bloom]

it seems like a pretty safe thing to hope for

most events so far have had it

[velvet narwhal]

Please keep, I squawked in the gym

[tender bloom]

much safer than hoping that the next portrait I try to draw comes out decent

[lucid iron]

well its not thing for me to keep

but for you to put in your content pack

[uncut viper]

i will not install trinket framework without super bat knockback /j

[velvet narwhal]

Do I get an intensity int

[lucid iron]

its a float actually

[velvet narwhal]

Can I send flying monsters to the moon-- HELL YEAH

[lucid iron]

ah so my problem was that i put knockback 5

[tender bloom]

I'm hearing we need knockback 10

zooooooooom

[lucid iron]

which is actually like knockback 50 in terms of weapon stats

[tender bloom]

smack those bats off the screen so hard they vanish out of existence

(iirc that is a real thing the code does)

[velvet narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/always-has-been-among-us-astronaut-space-betrayal-gif-23836476

[brittle pasture]

that's just the SVE wand

so yeah the code does do that

[velvet narwhal]

The trinket is a floating baseball bat

Or an electric flyswatter

Don't steal completely original idea

[rancid temple]

Well, quitting and reloading my save is making my building disappear now lmao

[dusty scarab]

don't knock the power of the electric flyswatter. swatting flies was never more fun than when I got an electric flyswatter

snap! 'yeah, I got one! take that, you winged vermin!'

[rancid temple]

Do I need to register NetFields?

[vernal crest]

There is an RSV weapon with knockback so ridiculous I had to edit it to make it smaller because I never got to kill anything

[rancid temple]

Needs knockback damage, damage taken for hitting things when being knocked back hard enough

Knocking an enemy into other enemies and killing all of them would be hilarious

[vernal crest]

Ten pin bowling

[lucid iron]

Just like in my Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth

[velvet narwhal]

new minigame idea

[vernal crest]

I could maybe manage a 2 week modjam. Krobus just had a weekend one and I spent the entire weekend stressing about ideas and made absolutely nothing.

[dusty scarab]

to be fair, my only remaining idea is to make increasingly-valuable items that you can buy and sell as a way to hoard wealth without going over the integer limit, so that you can flex to your friends about how much money you've made XD
buying pieces of a dragon's hoard, but instead of the physical treasure, he sells you a voucher that worth X amount of G and can be sold back to him for equivalent value. dragon's selling the dream, stable crypto!

[rancid temple]

Well, I'm still fucking something up I guess, even without the net field my building is still deleting itself

[lucid iron]

Does log say anything

[rancid temple]

Nope

[lucid iron]

Can also check your save for the serialized building

Oh yeah when did you register the save type?

[rancid temple]

GameLaunched

[lucid iron]

That's correct hrm

But when u first build the building it all works as expected?

On that day

[rancid temple]

Well, it has no functionality currently, trying to add something so I can be sure of that

Before I commented out the netfield, it was showing up in Lookup Anything

[lucid iron]

Yeah ig u should check if it ever makes it to the save file

[brave fable]

you may need to annotate certain fields with [XmlIgnore] if you aren't already?

though i've no idea why your building's removed

[velvet narwhal]

I'm contemplating adding the crow critters as another custom field

[rancid temple]

What kind of things need XmlIgnore?

[brave fable]

i really just coughed that into chat without thinking on it much, large instances such as animals or location references would be safer marked as xmlignore i suppose? if you're using any, that is

[rancid temple]

Hm, if anything I'm maybe not establishing enough about this building currently, just wanted to know lol

[brave fable]

though really any data that doesn't need to be persistent should be marked xmlignore

[latent mauve]

If I wanted to test my mod against SVE and don't want to play until the CC gets unlocked, does the normal debug command for the community center completion still work?

Useable Community Center needs to be tested against SVE and CC Reimagined with a specific config for my next update

[rancid temple]

Not sure if it was fixed, there was an issue of one of the completion flags not being set if you didn't watch one of the animations but I can't remember which one

I ended up making a trigger action that sets the flag if you have all the others so I could test without watching all the events lol

[latent mauve]

So in theory if I add the bundle flags one by one and then the completion flag, it should be fine to test against?

[rancid temple]

The flag that wasn't getting set is ccIsComplete

[latent mauve]

Ok

[rancid temple]

I believe each time you watch the little animation of the junimos talking it checks if you've done all the things and if you have it sets that

So if you don't get the last animation it doesn't get set

There's also that animation the day after you need to view for something, can't remember what it triggers

I think it's necessary in order to unlock the theatre?

[latent mauve]

I only need the CC refurbished in order to test my mod 🙂

[rancid temple]

I had a much better grasp on this when I was actually trying to fill out the mail flags lol

[latent mauve]

Since it only patches the CC interior at that point

[velvet narwhal]

I usually just do debug completecc because I don't care about the other flags

[rancid temple]

Some things in the game are locked behind ccIsComplete

Which you won't get with that debug

[velvet narwhal]

I just need the boat to be unlocked and the movie theatre and that usually does it for me

Fair

[latent mauve]

I need the rooms, so I usually go through and do those flags manually one by one

[rancid temple]

I can't remember what it was now, really screwed with some testing I was doing for a couple days lol

[latent mauve]

The crafts room is the annoying one, so many CC mods change it

Somebody asked me if the dye pots in the crafts room worked with a specific setup and the answer was no because I didn't have that setup to test and SVE removes them.

But apparently CC Reimagined can override SVE's changes, so here we are

[rancid temple]

I'm guessing this is what I'm looking for in my save files?

I finally got the doAction functionality to work so I can tell that it's using my class for the building

[lucid iron]

When u use spacecore save serialize it stores the class name in a second file

And puts it back into save on save load

[rancid temple]

I've got these, farmer is an empty list

[lucid iron]

And this is in the other one right

[rancid temple]

Yeah

It also matches what I put as my XmlType for my class

[lucid iron]

You can find the matching building in the full save right

[rancid temple]

Can I just crack that with a text editor as well?

[lucid iron]

yea

its a big ol xml file

[rancid temple]

Hm, doesn't seem to be here

[lucid iron]

the one in the real save would just be <Building>

no xsi:type

[rancid temple]

Yeah, just going through looking at all the building matches now. No matches for crow or feeder

I see all the other buildings that are typically on the farm

[lucid iron]

Something must have exploded during save

[brave fable]

could you share the basics of your building code?

[velvet narwhal]

i am finally back home ?? false made the entire line do a red squiggly funny, so i've fallen back to this:

{
    foreach (Building building in __instance.buildings)
    {
        //BuildingData data = building.GetData();
        if (building.GetData() is BuildingData data && data.CustomFields?.TryGetValue("Aviroen.AtraAntiCrow", out string? customString) is bool b && b)
        {
            if (bool.TryParse(customString, result: out bool stringActivated) && stringActivated)
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    return true;
}```

[brave fable]

sadly, is bool b and also b by the way actually works

[velvet narwhal]

I DIDN'T RED ERROR

[brave fable]

god why do i try and use cue.setvariable() it's been 3 mods now and i hate it

[velvet narwhal]

now how in the heck am i gonna determine that it's actually working

[drowsy hemlock]

Can I use PFM to make a mod with the same logic as vanilla Stardew's kegs and jars?

For example, I put 1 strawberry in the jar and it gives me a strawberry jam, then I put a grape in and it gives me a grape jam and so on.

[lucid iron]

Don't need pfm in 1.6, not sure how flavored items work in 1.5

[velvet narwhal]

iirc tosko is squint modding mobile

[lucid iron]

That's why I bother mentioning 1.5

[rancid temple]

https://pastebin.com/cynZk98b

I added a bunch of the overrides because I was grasping lmao

[brave fable]

that's an lmao that hides a lot of pain

[drowsy hemlock]

🥲

[rancid temple]

TBF, I'm usually grasping

[brittle pasture]

Did you put () around the entire thing
https://github.com/zombifier/My_Stardew_Mods/blob/795fd55cdc3360790b6334bd13184e1d8bb3592e/ExtraAnimalConfig/Utils.cs#L27

[uncut viper]

is there anything about spacecore serialization stuff besides just the one line in the github readme for it?

[brave fable]

you want documentation?

[rancid temple]

Not that I'm aware of, probably would need to hunt it down in the source and try to understand it to learn more lol

[uncut viper]

unfortunately

[velvet narwhal]

{
    foreach (Building building in __instance.buildings)
    {
        //BuildingData data = building.GetData();
        if (building.GetData() is BuildingData data && data.CustomFields?.TryGetValue("Aviroen.AtraAntiCrow", out string? customString) ?? false)
        {
            if (bool.TryParse(customString, result: out bool stringActivated) && stringActivated)
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    return true;
}```

[uncut viper]

i was just wondering where you'd even know that xmlignore or w/e is a thing you might have to use

[rancid temple]

Been loosely following what atra did for registering the shovel

And also how the base game is set up

[brave fable]

you've hit a breakpoint on the spacecore register method, right? it's actually being registered?

[brittle pasture]

Need a ( before data.CustomFields and a ) after the ?? false part

[brave fable]

i've never tried subclassing a building, so i'm not sure if the game handles it weirdly

[lucid iron]

I have a stupid idea for testing

[rancid temple]

I can throw a breakpoint in to be sure

[lucid iron]

Make the building without your class

Save

Edit in your xsi:type

[oak dragon]

A strange quesiton perhaps. What will you call the act of finishing bundles in the community cneter? i m doing my i18n work... Is "donate" appropriate?

[lucid iron]

Load game again

This is ofc the exact thing spacecore is trying to prevent

[brave fable]

i imagine you donate items and complete bundles

[brittle pasture]

otherwise the code thinks you're trying to &&-ing the first two conditionals, and fails because the latter can be null (and you didn't make it not null with ?? false)

[lucid iron]

But u might be able to see errors this way

[uncut viper]

(why does avi want this again though. TryGetValue returns false if the key doesnt exist in the dictionary)

[brave fable]

(the dictionary can be null)

[brittle pasture]

because there's a ?. in the chain

[velvet narwhal]

honestly i'm confused and lost at this point

[brave fable]

just use good ol' bool b and also b

it's the same result

[rancid temple]

Definitely hits the breakpoint

[brittle pasture]

but that's ugly

[brave fable]

we have that in common. let me live with bool b in peace

LOOK at ur pfp and tell me to use ?? false instead

[velvet narwhal]

for reference, without blueb's "is bool b && b" or selph's ?? false, it was throwing this error whenever i saved: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

[vernal crest]

Can you provide a sentence that you'd want to use it in?

[brittle pasture]

basically your condition can be boiled down to
A && B
but B can be null, causing your code to error out
blueberry's and my code basically adds a "if B is null turn it into false" and make it not complain
A && (B ?? false)
or
A && B is bool C && C

[rancid temple]

Maybe I should ask Casey if this is working correctly lol, seeing as how I can't seem to find anyone else who has actually used this for buildings

[brittle pasture]

(fuck null, we should all use Rust rahhh)

[velvet narwhal]

god i love this forwarding feature i just yeet the advice straight to my personal c# chat

[brave fable]

c and js would happily accept false || null but here we are

[dusty scarab]

is this for the scarecrow building?

[velvet narwhal]

yep

both roku and i

IT DIDN'T WORK

[brave fable]

impressive. group therapy

[brittle pasture]

how dare u, there's an elegant beauty in my sneefing cat pfp

[velvet narwhal]

oh wait no i'm stupid

because content patcher couldn't be included, my mod with the json attached didn't work

[uncut viper]

var data = building.GetData();
if (data.CustomFields is not null && data.CustomFields.TryGetValue("Aviroen.AtraAntiCrow", out string? customString))
  {
    if (bool.TryParse(customString, result: out bool stringActivated) && stringActivated)
    {
      return false;
    }
}

why not do it like this

[brave fable]

can... data be null

[velvet narwhal]

it screamed at me that it was null, but i can try it

[oak dragon]

like I will donate some items . I think "donate" is enough, but I didnt find it in English wiki so I want to make it sure

[dusty scarab]

I wish you both the best of luck! :D
though, couldn't you also do it in Content Patcher by adding the context tags crow_scare and crow_scare_radius<>? or did you want to do it in C# for the personal challenge?

[brittle pasture]

some part of SDV's code thinks so IIRC

[uncut viper]

then if (data is null) continue; before the if statement

[velvet narwhal]

author capability, also i just enjoy bashing my head against c#

[uncut viper]

or just add it to the if statement

[vernal crest]

Donation is usually associated more with the museum but I don't think it would look out of place for the community centre either.

[neat pine]

dont think it would be needed, as to get into the if, it has to not be null
data.CustomFields is not null &&

[velvet narwhal]

oh no, stardew updated

[brittle pasture]

not quite, data.CustomFields explodes if data is null

[velvet narwhal]

did that break everything

[vernal crest]

Rokugin found that putting gigantic numbers in for crow_scare_radius made Range Highlight and other range-showing mods freak out so they wanted to circumvent that (just in case someone wants a several hundred tile sized farm I guess haha)

[brave fable]

just null chain everything and give up

why do ambient sound cues play at full volume even when you use SetVariable("Volume", 0.00001f)

[dusty scarab]

I remember that, lol. that's why I put a warning in my mod about turning off the scarecrow function for that mod and mods like it if you used them

[velvet narwhal]

i appreciate you, random citizen, but i am stupid when it comes to c#

[vernal crest]

What did you set your radius to? I set mine to 30 and both Data Layers and UI Info Suite 2 were fine with it.

[dusty scarab]

I actually do not use those mods, but I thought it would be a useful warning to anyone who does

[vernal crest]

Yes but you did not actually answer my question :P

[dusty scarab]

oh! for the scarecrow! I set it to 500 XD

500 covered every farm I could find on the Nexus

[velvet narwhal]

yeah that'll nuke someone's game

[vernal crest]

Oh yeah

[dusty scarab]

(some of them only barely, though)

I found one farm that was 680x680

[vernal crest]

Anyone who is using any of that kind of mod (which is probably a lot) is going to hate you haha

[velvet narwhal]

and people do not read, which is why roku and i are going the road less travelled

[vernal crest]

But remember it's a radius so you only need 340 to hit both the side and top of even that gigantic map

[dusty scarab]

that's why I warned them to turn off the scarecrow option! XD

[velvet narwhal]

shit

[brave fable]

maybe sdv1.7 will make the AmbientLocationSounds class more mod-friendly...

[dusty scarab]

my favorite gif for people who do not read

[velvet narwhal]

i need to edit asset in c# now

[vernal crest]

I do not regret for one moment my decision not to mess with 1.6.9 until it's out

[velvet narwhal]

who released this midnight beta patch

[velvet narwhal]

i swapped my c# into 1.6.9 because there was a method that was unprivated

[rancid temple]

Alright, time to see if I successfully did the thing I'm not supposed to do or bricked the hell out of this save file

[velvet narwhal]

oh god, how do i do this goes to the wiki

[rancid temple]

Cool cool, no errors and the building is gone

Slowly but surely working my way towards "give up on this and just use mod data"

[velvet narwhal]

you went the much harder road i went the "screw this" road

[teal bridge]

1.6.9 went out, or was it a patch to 1.6.8?

[rancid temple]

I'm really wanting this to work because I wanna add some other functionality besides just the dialogue

[velvet narwhal]

some beta patch got me

[lucid iron]

Nightly beta

[teal bridge]

Good, back to slog I go.

[rancid temple]

1.6.9 should drop on the 4th

[teal bridge]

As in the 4th of November? That's so far off it might as well be next year.

[rancid temple]

Yeah lol

[dusty scarab]

I am torn, between 'do I start a play file with all my mods now, or do I wait until 1.6.9 when I will have new toys to play with'

[velvet narwhal]

not really that many new toys

[teal bridge]

Yeah, 1.6.9 might break a few toys but it's not adding a lot of new ones for players.

[rancid temple]

Wait until every C# mod that broke in 1.6.9 gets updated

[dusty scarab]

I have to play now, before I become orange and therefore am forbidden from playing, since cheetos stop playing when they become cheetos. or so I've heard XD

[teal bridge]

That's a lot of nonsense, really.

[rancid temple]

It happened to me before the en-puffening

I mean, if you count testing, I play a lot

[velvet narwhal]

i get the inkling sometimes, and then while i'm playing i'm like, "i want a feature in c#" and then i write it in a comment, and proceed to not do it

[teal bridge]

I don't really make a distinction between playing and testing at this point.

[vernal crest]

I still play but I barely qualify as a real cheeto

[teal bridge]

If it's not a feature that I'm actually going to use while playing, then it hardly seems worth maintaining as a mod.

[velvet narwhal]

you've already completed the cheeto pipeline, support -> cheeto

[dusty scarab]

also, I have a question, because of course I have another crazy idea. if I wanted to make a custom NPC, where all they did was hang out at a specified location (probably just end up making a custom farm building for them, honestly) and sell items, would I need to follow the make-a-custom-NPC tutorial, or would it be a simpler process than that?

[velvet narwhal]

just a shop? no npc necessary

[teal bridge]

You use a simple/non-social NPC for that, or even just a tile action.

[velvet narwhal]

hell, you can get away with just a portrait load in the texture

[brittle pasture]

they can just be a jpeg like the traveling merchant

[oak dragon]

Draw something, give it the ability to sell items, and then pretend he's an NPC.

[rancid temple]

Probably preferable to a real NPC for something you want to live in a farm building

[dusty scarab]

okay. I always find myself discouraged from playing once I've bought all the stuff and the money keeps accumulating with nothing to spend it on, so I was wondering... what if there was an NPC that sold Stupidly Expensive Certificates that could be sold back to the NPC for a full refund, and that would give a reason to keep earning G because you'd not risk overcapping anymore? or maybe I'm overthinking it. I just hated having to build multiple gold clocks to spend my money down...

[brittle pasture]

but that would need C# right, for NPCs (even antisocial ones) to path into farm buildings

[velvet narwhal]

that's it, i'm gonna make a texas holdem minigame

[teal bridge]

How many years into a playthrough would you have to be to get multiple gold clocks?

[rancid temple]

I think you would just warp them directly to and from the building like the spouse

Straight from building to bus stop, bus stop to building, or wherever, just no pathing on farm

[brittle pasture]

modded or not? might be a better question for the crowds at seasoned-farmers

[vernal crest]

I think it was more aimed at Sekundes

[dusty scarab]

I usually start building them around year 3.... >.>

[rancid temple]

I didn't even know there was an actual non-integer cap to money lol

[brittle pasture]

ah okay I though focustense was asking a general balance question lol

[vernal crest]

Wow you make a lot more money than me

I'm in year 3 and have about 40k

[velvet narwhal]

i thought it was 32bit capped, i could be wrong though

[teal bridge]

It was a semi-rhetorical question, like by the time you're making that much money it's time to start a new game because you've already done everything. (I guess unless you're using a money-making mod.)

[dusty scarab]

by the time I end year 1, I try to have at least 3-4k preserves jars made and running

[brittle pasture]

imo that's definitely not normal progression

[vernal crest]

That sounds like it would take a lot of time managing

[dusty scarab]

yeah, which is why I wanted to try making a mod where all it does is sell money-sinks

[teal bridge]

3-4k? 3-4 thousand? That's effectively impossible in a vanilla progression from the coal costs alone (and way more inefficient than kegs).

[dusty scarab]

Automate is a ton of help

[vernal crest]

Mind you, I never use automate or anything

[rancid temple]

I can't live without Automate

[vernal crest]

If I want to play a factory game I go play one

[brittle pasture]

even with automate that's definitely not a typical progression

[dusty scarab]

I make massive tree farms and use lots and lots of charcoal kilns to get my coal production up, as well as buying stone from Robin before Year 2 hits

[vernal crest]

I have 8 preserves jars and 12 casks whoops, kegs

[rancid temple]

I just hate loading and unloading machines, my fingers get tired lol

[dusty scarab]

I've gotten it down to an art form, honestly XD

[vernal crest]

Well, if you enjoy it that is good

[oak dragon]

When you're in the middle between buying a Golden Bell and climbing to the top, there's a real lack of motivation to make money

[teal bridge]

Yeah, Automate just takes away the monkey work. I ran some tests and it doesn't even really alter the balance that much except if you use it to "cheat" in the mines during the first copper dive.

[dusty scarab]

and I just prefer jars to kegs. I have modded sheds, and I name each of them Bob Marley, because they be jammin'!

[teal bridge]

Can't imagine playing without it. It's so silly to spend 10 real minutes just running around putting stuff into machines.

[vernal crest]

It takes me about 30 seconds every 3 days to manage mine so shrug

[teal bridge]

I don't get where you would even place 3-4k jars or kegs, you need like a dozen sheds for that. Which means you have no space to grow crops.

[vernal crest]

Unless you use modded sheds like Sekundes said?

[oak dragon]

To be honest, after all the preparations have been made, it is somewhat boring to wait for the growth of the numbers

[rancid temple]

Dr Who sheds

[vernal crest]

I have one extremely Tardis-like shed

[brittle pasture]

I have a mod that gate automate behind hoppers, and it's surprisingly therapeutic. I have 3 sheds that I scale up gradually, and I never spend that much time every day reloading them
at this point in my save they're all automated though

[teal bridge]

Oh, I missed that. Yeah I guess if there's some giant shed mod then that makes it feasible.

[vernal crest]

I don't even bother with hoppers

[dusty scarab]

aaaaanyways, moving past me and my degenerate, makes-Joja-look-like-casual-scrubs ways, if I just wanted a shop with an NPC portrait and a cute little story you learn through the shop menu chatterbox as you talk to them, maybe a letter or two, that's best done through a custom building, right?

[vernal crest]

Everything on my farm is handmade artisanal product xD

[dusty scarab]

yeah.... my sheds hold a thousand jars per shed XD

[brittle pasture]

best is subjective

[vernal crest]

I would just do it with a map tile

[teal bridge]

TARDIS sheds indeed

[brittle pasture]

but of course with all the expansions/NPC mods lying around map space may be at a premium

[teal bridge]

Trying to mentally estimate the square footage of a real building with a thousand barrels

[oak dragon]

3-4k jars. If without automate, it seems that you can't finish putting stuff in one day

[rancid temple]

Lol, this is really getting to ya

[dusty scarab]

I use Automate, yes

[teal bridge]

Hell, without Automate, you couldn't even make your way around 4000 machines.

Never mind the milliseconds to load/unload.

[dusty scarab]

with Automate, my farmer gets around 4000 machines 😏

[teal bridge]

Me? Nah, I just think it's funny for reasons that I suppose only chronic min-maxers would understand.

[oak dragon]

The town has become a gigafactory

[rancid temple]

I had considered finding a mod or making one to try to balance Automate a bit by adding a more substantial cost to the connections

[vernal crest]

Have you looked at Junimatic, roku?

[dusty scarab]

yeah, it was going to be a fairly small building. maybe a 2x2? just big enough to hold a little cave and a teeny little dragon with a single copper piece clamped in his little jaws, from a DnD story I read about where a town had a custom of using that dragon and his singular coin as change for purchases, and the party was supposed to take this dragon and his coin, travel with him a little, and spend him in another town because he liked to travel

[rancid temple]

I haven't, I'll check it out though

[brittle pasture]

also this was the mod I was mentioning: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/11727

[vernal crest]

I have seen it described as a less OP automate

[rancid temple]

Oh my god and it has tiny little Junimo's running around

[teal bridge]

There are several mods to try to "balance" automate but, at the risk of repeating myself, I've found that it doesn't really have a huge impact on balance except at a few critical moments in the early game and then very very late in the game when the kinds of players who care about balance have already started a new run.

[brittle pasture]

Walk of Life also has its own spin on automation, though it's rather underwhelming

[rancid temple]

Yeah, I've never been bothered enough by the perceived imbalance to do anything about it, but having Junimo's run around carting stuff might be worth it lmao

[brittle pasture]

(it just makes hoppers able to take output instead of just putting in input)

[teal bridge]

I always took Junimatic to be more of a fun/flavor mod than a serious critique of Automate's balance.

But who knows what the author intended.

[brittle pasture]

IMO early game is pretty important, even a couple seconds not spent checking a couple kegs help immensely with the grind(tm)
but then again I don't really do speedrunning so I'm not sure if machines are actually a crucial part of speedrunning. I don't imagine it is?

[teal bridge]

I think it depends on how you define "speedrun", I'm not aware of a lot of players who are literally optimizing for real time as opposed to in-game days (it exists, but it's not that common).

[brittle pasture]

and tbh AutomateChests is definitely a flavor mod for me as well. It just feels thematic you have to buy magical devices from the Blue Man that can make your machines automagically work on their own

[teal bridge]

In a min-max run there are a few critical days when you often have to restart, one of them is the first mine traverse where you need to collect enough copper to build an extra furnace and smelt enough copper to have 5 bars to upgrade the pickaxe, all by around 2-3 pm in game so you can make it to Clint's by 4. So if you use Automate to "help" with that, it can be a bit of a cheat.

And if that bothers you, then just... don't put a chest next to the furnace.

[brittle pasture]

makes sense that the limited energy already limits the amount of work you can do per game day, and the rest of the night can be spent loading machines (automatically or not)

[teal bridge]

To be clear here, what Automate is "helping" with there is not the time spent loading the machines, it's automatically smelting new bars even when you don't have elevator access.

[brittle pasture]

yeah I was talking about the other use cases outside of that case

[teal bridge]

That's why I'm "meh" about the whole balance thing re: Automate, it's just these weird occasional little moments where it matters, it's easy to just not use it to cheat in those cases, and at almost every other point in the game during Year 1 you don't have enough machines or crops for Automate to tip the balance significantly.

If you like it to be behind some progression then that's fine too, I get it, that's why I designed the fishing mod to have optional progressions.

[velvet narwhal]

the perpetual fight to make an 'aging valley' mod vs my patience to write that much bs, i choose my sanity every time

[dusty scarab]

if you need help writing dialogue, I wouldn't mind helping! or code-writing from a template

it's a serious offer, I have copius amounts of free time and am always looking for things to fill it with

[velvet narwhal]

probably once i'm done with my outdoor maps i'll put out an audition? sos? help wanted? for writers/overworld sprite artists for my expansion

[dusty scarab]

sounds good, I'll keep an eye out for it :D

[velvet narwhal]

cause i sure as hell ain't writing the amount of npcs i planned to put

[dusty scarab]

lol, I run a Shadowrun TTRPG discord server, writing dialogue for NPCs and telling long, convoluted stories is what I live for

[velvet narwhal]

(this is also after i've settled out a job so probably not until december cause i do want to at least settle some initial payments for the effort)

[dusty scarab]

just let me know when you're putting out the auditions, I'd love to apply

[unique sigil]

man drawing this patchy grass takes forever

it was a good call for kisaa of yesterday to make entire sections on the ground fully dirt

[dusty scarab]

yeeeah, drawing stuff like that can take forever. Kisaa of yesterday was wise

[unique sigil]

drawing the cliff shadows dont take as long at least

[dusty scarab]

just wait until you get to the leafy greenery that sits on the Always Top layer

[unique sigil]

been there done that thrice over, i do that layer much faster than i do the grass and dirt on the Back layer

to this day i still dont understand which cliff shadow tile is supposed to be for which cliff face and it's mostly bc of how the tiles are organized on the tilesheet. mr ape your mind is an enigma....

[steep frost]

Someone told me to ask for help from here instead so uhh

I am not much of a coder and not really good at content patch usage but, I wanna know how to code it so that my character can react differently for others' portraits, for example getting happy when morris is panicking instead of mimicking the expression, or not getting sad when alex raises a football-
Also, i'm using sve and sometimes my chracter reacts the wrong way to them. i.e. crying when they're happy

I'm starting to work out the specifics of a changing weather system (I'll need y'all thought on the balance later), but I just realised I completely forgot to acknowledge green rain
I still don't know if I'll actually try to make this mod, but it's fun to think about the mechanics behind

[royal nimbus]

im having issues with some custom hats and haircuts. some of the custom hair styles bug out when i put hats on. one bug is where the custom hair gets switched to another custom one when putting on a hat. is there a spesfic way hats and hair are suppose to be done?

[brittle pasture]

is this vanilla or FS hair

[royal nimbus]

whats FS? it's just modded vanilla stuff

[brittle pasture]

Fashion Sense
which hats are you testing? some hats have a "hide hairstyle" setting

[royal nimbus]

oh i didnt kno that. was trying several random ones. i take it i can look on the hats data file to see that setting and adjust it?

also wow i didnt kno concerned ape was in here ;o!!!

O>

actually not seeing that on the hats data file

[tiny zealot]

can someone help me understand why smapi is pooping itself https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/38cbc3e7cb864fd7a07fe5891fa7c53b

im not trying to use coops or barns as a token im just using it from my config

[latent mauve]

Check the spelling of your config option

That usually pops up if your key in the Config Schema isn't exactly what you used in your Condition

[rose forge]

it is spelled the same...

[lucid iron]

did you restart game

or only patch reload?

[rose forge]

Restarted

[brittle pasture]

your config value defaults to "Version 2", but "Version2" is one of the allowed values
Not sure if that causes problems but try fixing it

[rose forge]

ohhh thank you let me try that

it is fixed now! that was the problem, ty again

[clever sinew]

If I have a mod that is a CP replacer, is there a way i can update it to the current version of CP which lets me add things instead?

…that may be confusingly worded, I apologize

[tender bloom]

what is a CP replacer?

Is it something that replaces CP?

Can you link the mod for better context?

[clever sinew]

sorry

This would be for personal use only, but for example this mod

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/11622?tab=description

Currently, it replaces wood fences. Is there a way to update it to add these fences as a separate option instead? Or would that mean getting in the weeds with code and basically rebuilding it

[latent mauve]

If you wanted to add it as a custom fence in the game (rather than replacing an existing) then you'd likely need to get a little bit into the weeds but I don't think it'd be too difficult.
You'd need to define it as an object and then define it as a fence via CP's EditData action.

[tender bloom]

You would need to mostly rewrite the CP portion but as fireredlily says it's not terribly difficult

Especially if the png is already in the correct layout

[clever sinew]

ohhh okay

will look into it then! Thank you both, time to do some reading :)

[latent mauve]

Based on the normal Fences, it looks like you'd need 4 parts/actions:

• Loading in your png asset as a texture
• Creating a Data/Objects entry
• Creating a Data/Fences entry, and
• Creating a Data/CraftingRecipes entry (if you want it to be craftable)

None of those are hard, the modding wiki defines the data formats pretty well, but it's easy to miss a piece.

[sacred rain]

I'm asking for some UX help. I'm making a cross platform savefile viewer and editor. But, I'm a bit confused on one aspect.

Right now, as it works, the user has to manually add in the Name_* files to the app.
The other approach is setting a directory (e.g the default stardew valley savefile directory) and the app will automatically scan the files.

The advantage of the current approach, as it seems to me at least, is that it's easier to deal with. For example, if you play on Switch, you can easily just import the Name_* file to your phone, edit it and export it back to the Switch. No need to deal with anything else.

Which one would you prefer?

or would you want both?

[rigid rock]

I've just had to fix a bug in my mod caused by SMAPI Keybinds.

        {
            if (Config.ZoomKeys.JustPressed())
            ```
In the above code if you hit 2 buttons at the same time, they both pass the if condition because the state is still flagged.

I had to do this to get around it:
```if (Config.ZoomKeys.JustPressed() && Config.ZoomKeys.Keybinds.Any(x => x.Buttons.Contains(e.Button)))```

Does anyone know a cleaner way? Ideally it would be nice for Keybinds to have a Contains<SButton> function

[brittle pasture]

just to clarify, what's the issue? Is it that your initial condition fires twice if you press a keybind combo?

[lucid iron]

Is this a mobile only app?

[sacred rain]

nope, both mobile and desktop

[lucid iron]

Well a save is at least 2 files (SaveGameInfo, name_11111111)

[sacred rain]

SaveGameInfo isn't necessary - all the data there is available in Name_*

parsing wise, it doesn't take that long either

[lucid iron]

Yeah but just in case ppl want to edit something that needs to also go in SaveGameInfo

[sacred rain]

changes can be reflected into both files if needed, SaveGameInfo only stores the <player> element. 🤔

[lucid iron]

So back to UX thing, I think u would do something like citra (rip)

The default save folder is searched and listed on opening app

A open button exist if you need to grab the save folder from non default location

And ppl should be able to change the default save folder in settings

[sacred rain]

that's a pretty neat way to do it i guess

thanks!

[tiny zealot]

the input docs recommend using ButtonsChanged instead of ButtonPressed for this exact reason: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/APIs/Input

Don't use the ButtonPressed event to check keybinds, since it's raised once for each button pressed. If the player presses two keys at once, your keybind would be activated twice. Use ButtonsChanged instead.

[lucid iron]

What are some use case for ButtonPressed

[tiny zealot]

i'm sure there must be one, but i don't think i've ever used it

[rigid rock]

Hit 2 keys on the keyboard at the same time, they both land on the keypressed event, but then both pass the Keybind IsPressed against a single bound key. So press Home and Insert, if the bound key was Home then Insert passes the check too. Makes sense why it would, but ideally need to check if the pressed key is the bound key

[tiny zealot]

try using ButtonsChanged instead of ButtonPressed (see above)

[calm nebula]

e.Button == Config.ZoomKeys?

It gives you the specific button in the event args

[fickle breach]

i'm gonna ask here but i don't know if it's the good spot ,

do you think someone is able to make all crops regrowth like the blueberries , and others ? maybe in exchange of the exact price in seeds directly from the purse of the player ( for example , if you collect a Blue Jazz , the mod are gonna automatically remove 30 po because it's the price of the seed ) this is something not really needed but if you want to balance it

[tender bloom]

regrowing: easy

deducting money: C#

though changing the regrowth property in the middle of a game might not affect previously planted crops

you can just change the crop data for the vanilla crops

the easier way to rebalance is either a) make seeds more expensive or b) make the crops sell for less

you'll notice that berries typically aren't super expensive per berry because you end up with a ton

[fickle breach]

i see ... so deducting money is dead for me ( i tried to modify the mod hibernation for the 1.6 but even with help i don't have the capacity to make it work ) , so how i could make the crops regrowing ?

[tender bloom]

1. Make a CP pack https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Content_Patcher
2. Edit Data/Crops https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Crop_data for the RegrowDays property of each crop you want to change

[brittle pasture]

you also need to edit their sprites to have a regrow sprite

[fickle breach]

ow ...

this is a problem

[tender bloom]

Crop sprites are stored in TileSheets/crops

!unpack if you don't have the game unpacked, start with that

[ocean sail]

Follow this guide to unpack the game's content files in order to see and explore how the game data is structured.
It's helpful when making your own mods, or just to learn about how the game works!

To use this command, type !unpack.

[fickle breach]

so in the unpacked version i should find mostly the format of the code needed to change ? i'm gonna need to do that for every single crops ?

[brittle pasture]

yes
if you use C# you can do it programatically (ie. just loop over every crop entry and edit their data)

[fickle breach]

i don't know how to use C# :/

[tender bloom]

The unpacked version has the format of the data the game reads

When you make a CP pack, you're writing up instructions on what to change

But importantly, CP packs have a different format than the game data

You cannot just copy the game data and use that as the CP pack

[fickle breach]

it's gonna take me a while to do that ...

[tender bloom]

Usually making a mod takes some time. I suggest trying to do it for one crop to start with

You may find it easier to work for a little bit, and then come back later

If you've never made a mod before, sometimes learning all the formatting can be a lot all at once, so breaking it up into smaller chunks helps

[fickle breach]

on the link you give me , the crop data , i see that : The number of days before the crop regrows after harvesting, or -1 if it can't regrow. Default -1 , so i hopped i could change just a number to do that ... i know mods take time to make , but i hopped something like that took like 10 mn to do uh

[tender bloom]

Most of the time will be in figuring out how to make a content pack at all

The actual edits are not terribly complicated

[fickle breach]

you think someone can do it for me ? :w

[tender bloom]

you can ask around or try to commission someone. it's possible other people are also interested in this

[brittle pasture]

There is this mod which makes some (not all) crops regrowable (among other changes):

[proven spindle]

If I set an 'action AddMail mail_name_here received' just to set a mail flag, do I also have to add an entry for that mail to data/mail? And will it show up in the player's mail tab?

[lucid iron]

@rancid temple re: custom building type
i could make a well into a fish pond like this, and a custom type if i do spacecore register

[fickle breach]

oh thanks , i'm gonna install it , it's better than nothing :D

[fickle breach]

it's what i asked at the start , maybe someone are kind enough to do that ... or at least other people want this type of mod

[brittle pasture]

no and no

[proven spindle]

Thanks!

i think if you do make it a data/mail entry, it will show up in the collections tab (but it might only get added there when you read it, i'm not fully sure)

[fickle breach]

So if someone would likely to make a mod where all the crops regrowth I would be happy :D

[brittle pasture]

I think FTM supports CP conditions now?

[tiny zealot]

a certain version of rubberducking 😄

[zenith robin]

In Visual Studio, if I am building a mod with both a content patcher part and a C# part, how do I get them to be in a configuration so when I build the project it loads both parts? If there is a content patcher mod folder in the main mod's folder it won't load the CP part., but if they are both in their own folders in a main folder it works, but VS won't let me build it that way.

Do I just have to manually move the content patcher folder every time I rebuild the mod to test it?

[lucid iron]

u can use the new feature ContentPacks

need ModBuildConfig 4.3.0

Is there a 1.6 equivalent/update for Free Love?

[latent mauve]

PolyamorySweet is one that most people are using, but in the future, this is a better question for #modded-stardew

[uncut viper]

there is a command for updates to free love but- yeah what fireredlily said about the other channel

(i dont remember the command)

[knotty phoenix]

Hahah I was mostly looking into it for compatibility for my own mod so I thought it would belong here, oopsy

[uncut viper]

hard to tell if someones looking for a mod for mod making purposes or playing purposes, sorry!

[knotty phoenix]

no worries! i wasn't very clear so it's all good

[final arch]

I dont think we shouldnt mention that mod cus its NSFW

[latent mauve]

First I'm hearing about PolyAm being NSFW. that's news to me. But if so, I'll not mention it again!

[knotty phoenix]

are nsfw mods allowed on nexus? because it's definitely just up there

[ashen oak]

Wait, is it NSFW? I did not know

Had considered trying it at some point but not if it's that kind of vibe

[ornate trellis]

i think polyamory is a grey area since we do have a command for that?

[latent mauve]

I literally see no mention of it being NSFW on the mod page and normally that would be.

I don't want to ping Apryll directly just to ask LOL

[knotty phoenix]

yeah i'm looking through the files right now and not seeing anything nsfw about it? unless we're considering polyamory itself to be nsfw somehow

[lucid iron]

Well the NSFW-ness of a mod is decided by moderators of this server

I guess u could ask bouncer if u want

[final arch]

I know it was at one point, maybe they removed the content again

[ornate trellis]

i'd personally guess its the npc because the intro event is burnned into my mind but alas, idk to be sure, i barely actually play atm lol

[tender bloom]

they are, but there is a filter. this server doesn't allow discussion of NSFW mods though

[vernal crest]

Part of the problem with the mod was that Apryll did not warn anybody that it was NSFW. The NSFW content may have been removed now, I'm not sure.

[vernal crest]

!freelove There is an unofficial 1.6 fix for Free Love as well. Also, EnderTedi is working on a new polyamory mod (available on the ES server).

[ocean sail]

A semi-official update of Free Love and several of its associated sub-mods is available on the Stardew Valley forums.

[knotty phoenix]

I'll probably just stick with this for now since I'm familiar with it and then add support for the new one if that gets a full release, thank y'all!

[rancid temple]

And it doesn't disappear on save load?

I am kind of confused as to what you mean by making it into a fish pond and a custom type though

[lucid iron]

i was trying out the manually put in xsi:type="whatever" strat

but hm i think there is problem with spacecore save serialization, we are both testing this on 1.6.9 right?

[teal bridge]

It downloads fine for me. Maybe restart your browser, clear cache, etc. Comments on GitHub say it was fixed recently.

It's a 200 MB download so I can't really just upload here.

[lucid iron]

yea i think this transpiler failed to find entry
https://github.com/spacechase0/StardewValleyMods/blob/develop/SpaceCore/Patches/SaveGamePatcher.cs#L208-L234

i tried my scythe enchants mod that definitely worked in 1.6.8 with 1.6.9 and yep it wasnt getting put back

[next plaza]

Wait SpaceCore serialization broke in 1.6.9?

[next plaza]

Failing to get buildings? What does that mean?
