u need mod to make your own chest

expandable storage

[subtle pewter]

I’m curious does anyone know of a framework to add new monsters to the game? I’ve been looking for one to no avail. There appeared to be one prior to 1.6 but the update broke it and the author appears to have abandoned it. I considered that possibly content patcher could do this but it doesn’t appear to be the case.

[velvet narwhal]

it's not really a cp-friendly one, but there is FTM

[lucid iron]

you are thinking of monster the framework probably

[brittle pasture]

Farm Type Manager allows spawning monsters that are reskins of vanilla ones, with their own sprites and loot

[lucid iron]

for actual custom monsters

[atomic vale]

Quick question: how do you mark where a quarry is on a farm map?

[rain basalt]

must be dirt then you add it to map propertys

[subtle pewter]

You right and i forgot about it completely. That will do, thankyou!🖤

Thankyou all for the quick and helpful responses!

[rain basalt]

sorry >.> i use FTM to patch it for me but just started doing data/location for my maps

[tender bloom]

It should be a map property

!mapmaking do a ctrl-F on the maps wiki page to find lists of properties

[ocean sail]

If you want to make mods that add or edit maps:

1. Use Tiled to edit .tmx or .tbin files.

2. Refer to the Maps wiki page for details on how maps work in Stardew Valley.

3. Content Patcher allows you to create custom locations through editing Data/Locations

4. Vanilla Maps can be edited via Content Patcher as well: EditMap

To use this command, type !mapmaking.

[atomic vale]

can't find it hmmmmmm

[frozen elm]

SpawnMountainFarmOreRect <tile X> <tile Y> <tile width> <tile height>
(valid in farm)

[latent mauve]

It's on the Farm Data page

[old edge]

You can also alter the stats of the monsters as well like attack,defense using FTM.

[rain basalt]

CTRL+F on the page search SpawnMountainFarmOreRect fastest way to find it https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Maps

then you add string to map properties labled SpawnMountainFarmOreRect then in blank box add area in data format 2 3 10 15

just remember first tile is 0 0

[atomic vale]

A custom map I am using is just not working for the quarry

[rain basalt]

are the tiles in the tile sheet labled as dirt for the zone your doing

[atomic vale]

the tilesheet for the farm is using the same tiles for the quarry as the hilltop and the same tiles are being used in FTM marked as quarry

[rain basalt]

think spawnable t needs to be there as well

[rain basalt]

tile sheets dont carry tile data ^..^

[atomic vale]

the FTM QuarryTileIndex is on the right tiles

[rain basalt]

tile data for the tiles themselves

[atomic vale]

can't open custom properties just is empty

[rain basalt]

so you need to open tile sheet properties

[atomic vale]

have

[rain basalt]

select tile

click add button on botom

string name it Type

then in new string type Dirt

and save

it will then update all map tiles that use that tile to Dirt on map

save map and try again

also if your doing water make sure its labled as well or fishing wont work properly ^..~

[atomic vale]

thx

[rain basalt]

get it working?

[atomic vale]

yea

[rain basalt]

👍

[lucid iron]

is read book -> set Book_<BookName> stat vanilla behavior

[calm nebula]

Yes

[brittle pasture]

technically it's just <BookName>

assuming BookName is the item ID

[lucid iron]

oh i didnt realise all books started with Book_ oops

[uncut viper]

it also doesnt just set it it increments it

may or may not be important to you

[lucid iron]

not in my case, i just wanted to let people set a custom book for their animal catalogue equiv

wonder if it's better to let ppl use mail flag

[uncut viper]

there is a benefit to mail flags over normal book stat behaviour in this case

as there is no PlayerStat CP token

[lucid iron]

yea hm

both

reading books dont set a mailflag?

[uncut viper]

not unless its your first book

they only increment stats

and their powers are controlled in their appropriate places by checking those stats

the achievement for reading all the books is literally just one big "if Stat1 and Stat2 and Stat3 and..."

[rain basalt]

🤔 have a strange question when doing multiplayer are you loading onto the hosts data and pulling your maps or are you pulling there maps

[ivory plume]

Re multiplayer maps, it's a bit complicated.

[rain basalt]

thanks Pathos

[lucid iron]

can u register custom actions to answerDialogueAction

[calm nebula]

You almost certainly don't need to

Use the delegate form of that method

[lucid iron]

I wanted to override Marnie_Purchase

Harmony time

[calm nebula]

Enjoy!

[lofty ruin]

I tried the advice given to me and the error stopped popping up, but the NPC still won't spawn to where I positioned him.

https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/79bf5fe968d648e8836073e87931aa6a (Event.json)

[brittle ledge]

farmer 23 13 0 22 11 0 Aven here's your problem

your NPC's name needs to be at the front of the three numbers, not the end

(Also, it is suggested that you append your NPC's internal name with a prefix or suffix, such as {{ModId}}.Aven, so that if anyone else names their NPC the same, it won't cause SMAPI to barf.)

[knotty phoenix]

Anyone know what the title ID is for the song that plays in Sandy's shop? That one spreadsheet doesn't have it listed

[uncut viper]

you can also check its Data/Locations entry

[tender bloom]

I think no . though

I thought the . causes problems

[uncut viper]

dont all {{ModId}}s have a .?

or the vast majority of them anyway?

[tender bloom]

I thought NPCs use _

I think lemurkat said in some events there’s weirdness with .? But it’s possible that’s been fixed

[calm nebula]

Pinged you to the thread with context

[tender bloom]

lol

Apparently don’t worry about it

[calm nebula]

Hi classical Mathperson!

[tender bloom]

Hello my slightly better memory

Makes sense that quantum computers can do more 😛

[calm nebula]

What have I said before?

I have a photographic memory and I use it badly?

[latent mauve]

I've seen both . and _ used in NPC Names, but I think it's more likely to impact a filename than actual text in most cases.

?

[tender bloom]

I have a slightly less photographic memory but it’s debatable if I use it well 😆

[latent mauve]

I could totally be wrong though, events are not something I've messed with

[tender bloom]

It seems like it was a problem once and isn’t anymore

We’ve come a ways

[calm nebula]

I mean like

Afaik all computers are quantum now

[tender bloom]

Not in the “quantum computer” sense

[calm nebula]

We have to consider quantum effects when designing transistors

[brittle pasture]

distantBanjo, It's the same song used in a bunch of interior locations
(You can also check Data/Locations for this info

[calm nebula]

All computers are quantum

[brittle pasture]

is my computer which is made from arranging rocks in an infinite desert quantum

[clever sinew]

…is it looked down upon to comission/buy sprites instead of drawing them yourself?

[latent mauve]

Not at all!

There's even a list on the wiki of artists and coders who take commissions

[lofty ruin]

I doubt that's the problem though. I tried putting the NPC name in the front, but he still didn't appear

[calm nebula]

Hey

[clever sinew]

Noted, thank you. Speaking of, is that list still current? It seems like some folks may mo longer be active

[tender bloom]

Yeah but when I say “my friend does research in quantum computing” that’s definitely not what people think of 😛

[brittle ledge]

It did in 1.5 but I believe 1.6 fixed that.

[tender bloom]

Should be mostly current

[clever sinew]

[tender bloom]

Obviously people could go inactive but it’s all mostly new as of the last year or two

[tepid escarp]

Are you able to control a spouse’s schedule for just being in the house instead of them walking around. Say, telling them to spawn at a certain time and do a certain animation?thanks 🙂

[clever sinew]

I just truly have an aversion to be the kool aid femme busting in out of nowhere

[brittle ledge]

There's probably something else going on then, but having the name at the end like that will 100% not work

[calm nebula]

Not without c$

[brittle ledge]

You can also check and see who's active in the server, or ask around if people have comm recommendations? There are a couple of people on the list I know that aren't currently in the community (so may not be taking comms, hard to tell).

[calm nebula]

That said, uh

Commissions can get expensive

Depends on how much you expect to spend

[clever sinew]

Yes they can!

[calm nebula]

You can also consider checking itch.io for free to use game assets

[latent mauve]

I think it was separated by a / before at Aven, which is why it didn't work originally, unless I've missed something showing a more recent change.

[clever sinew]

Currently i have my eye on two itch.io packs

[calm nebula]

(Check the license first.)

[clever sinew]

Mods are technically non-commercial right? I would probably double-check with the asset creator but

[clever sinew]

That’s also why i wanted to ask, because was looking up folks and some haven’t posted in months

[uncut viper]

the definition of commercial use will also likely vary by license

[teal bridge]

Mods are whatever the author says they are.

[uncut viper]

DP can be considered commercial

[latent mauve]

Nexus does provide benefits for a set amount of unique downloads, and there is a Donation Points system (that you can opt out of), so you likely will need to ask.

You technically do get compensated if you pass benchmarks, even if it's not directly monetary

[calm nebula]

It's funny because "mods" is also a term we use at work. It's a synonym of "blue wire"

[clever sinew]

Huh. Okay, glad I was going to ask them anyway then

This is why we ask questionssss

[brittle ledge]

Never hurts to ask!

[teal bridge]

You get the free premium membership but you still have to explicitly accept it. Otherwise there's no compensation.

[latent mauve]

Yep, just mentioning it because most people don't realize that may count as compensation

It depends on how strict the license for commercial use is. 🙂

[tepid escarp]

Damn 😔 thanks for answering though!

[brittle ledge]

funny enough, I made a mod with an itch pack and I didn't even consider the premium stuff... but on the other hand, it wasn't a thing when I made the mod

[clever sinew]

Oh both of these are commercial licenses anyway

Well

[ivory plume]

(Generally non-commercial licenses aren't considered open-source because they can have unintended effects, like not allowing a non-profit to distribute CDs containing the code at cost because people technically buy the CD.)

[calm nebula]

(Pathos is still typing)

[ivory plume]

(Pathos is no longer typing.)

[calm nebula]

I feel like if I were to do a noncommercial license I would explicitly explain that noncommercial means a certain dollar amount each year

[clever sinew]

Yep no physical or digital redistribution…

[calm nebula]

Like, "commercial means revenue above $1m/yr"

[clever sinew]

But otherwise we are good

Hooray!

[hallow prism]

(technically you were typing that you were no longer typing, but you were indeed not typing when we read this... A philosopher may get an headache)

[clever sinew]

Schroedinger would be elated

[teal bridge]

There are two ways to look at this depending on your risk tolerance - either

1. anything that doesn't explicitly say it's available for commercial use, shouldn't be used to make money or receive non-monetary compensation, no matter how indirect the mechanism might feel to you; or
2. the proliferation of licenses and legal rules have gotten so damn complicated that no matter how hard you try to follow the rules, someone who's committed to screwing with you is going to find a legal way, so you may as well just roll the dice if anything's ambiguous and be prepared to lose an income stream.

The only exception is stuff like Creative Commons and MIT/Apache licenses which really are free-as-in-speech.

[calm nebula]

Maybe pathos typed that into a text editor so we wouldn't get the "Pathos is typing" thing

[ivory plume]

(That can be pretty tricky. For example, what if a non-profit distributes the mods to a community with no Internet, it costs them $1m to do so, and they get paid exactly $1m to cover the costs?)

[calm nebula]

Speaking of typing, I should do duolingo

[hallow prism]

if we don't see the pathos typing, is the pathos typing in the forest still happening?

[calm nebula]

(I'm not really thinking of this in a modding context to be frank.)

[hallow prism]

bonne chance avec le hibou

[clever sinew]

Depends on whether you subscribe to objective or relative philosophy i guess?

Not philosophy. Idk the word

[brittle ledge]

"if your noncommercial revenue exceeds 1mil/yr, contact [e-mail] for permission"?

[teal bridge]

I guarantee the lawyers would have a field day with that.

[clever sinew]

[brittle ledge]

Nonprofit and noncommercial aren't the same thing to me, though, if a nonprofit was pulling in a cool 1mil, I wouldn't consider them noncommercial.

[ivory plume]

(You can set any license restrictions you want (including noncommercial), they just won't be considered an open-source license.)

[teal bridge]

Yeah, and what we call non-profits are almost invariably, famously non-transparent with their income and distributions.

If a license claims to be or appears to be free for "non-profit" but not "non-commercial" then a commercial company can spin off a non-profit entity and pull all kinds of shenanigans.

[calm nebula]

Also I'm pretty sure the $1mill/yr revenue number is what VS considers "commercial"

[brittle ledge]

(There's a nonprofit in one of my other circles that has something like a 2.5 million budget and uses the art they pay for in things like merch - definitely would not consider that a noncommercial use)

[calm nebula]

(Again, I'm not really thinking of a modding context here anyways.)

[brittle pasture]

on the other end of the spectrum, this reminds me of some minor drama back in Factorio land of a modder using a non-commercial license. and they do mean non-commercial, as in "you're not allowed to make YouTube videos if your channel is monetized. even if the video itself is non-monetized"

anyway qq, is using Saving event safe for "stuff I want to do at day's end but after newDayAfterFade"

[teal bridge]

I probably wouldn't? The timing may work out that way, but I see nothing in the way of guarantees that saving will always happen when you want it to (offhand: what about co-op play?) or, more importantly, that saving can't happen at any other time (there are mods that try to implement quick-save with varying degrees of success).

[soft wolf]

Can Read/WriteSaveData not handle classes that have enums in them?

[lucid iron]

are your enums public

[brittle pasture]

ah yeah quick saving mods will be a problem (not that they aren't problems now )
I'll just do it in DayEnding like Yoba intended and workaround the newDayAfterFade logic

[soft wolf]

Yeah

[lucid iron]

did you check the actual save file to see what serialized string got written out

[soft wolf]

Odd, I don't see it at all. Maybe I'm not using it right

[rain basalt]

Important question farm maps what is the most popular save tbin or tmx

[lucid iron]

tmx

[brittle pasture]

tmx by a galactic mile

[lucid iron]

power of being able to rotate your tiles

[lucid iron]

i would put in a string field to your save data model just to see if it work

but i think its just normal newtonsoft.json serde

[soft wolf]

Save:

private void OnSaving(object sender, SavingEventArgs e)
{
    if (!Context.IsMainPlayer)
    {
        return;
    }

    this.Helper.Data.WriteSaveData("kristianskistad.BetterJunimosForestryRedux.HutStates", hutStates);
    this.Helper.Data.WriteSaveData("kristianskistad.BetterJunimosForestryRedux.HutMazes", hutMazes);
    this.Helper.WriteConfig(Config);
}

Load:

private void OnSaveLoaded(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Config = this.Helper.ReadConfig<ModConfig>();
    if (!Context.IsMainPlayer)
    {
        return;
    }

    // load hut mode settings from the save file
    hutStates = this.Helper.Data.ReadSaveData<Dictionary<Guid, HutState>>("kristianskistad.BetterJunimosForestryRedux.HutStates") ?? new Dictionary<Guid, HutState>();

    // load hut maze settings from the save file
    hutMazes = this.Helper.Data.ReadSaveData<Dictionary<Guid, Maze>>("kristianskistad.BetterJunimosForestryRedux.HutMazes") ?? new Dictionary<Guid, Maze>();
}

[lucid iron]

u wrote hutStates but tried to read Dictionary<Guid, HutState>

[rain basalt]

K thanks wanted to make sure I used correct setup for my map loads allowing custom maps for this project

[lucid iron]

use same type on read and write

[soft wolf]

hutStates is a Dictionary<Guid, HutState>

[lucid iron]

oh i see implict types

is HutState an enum then

[soft wolf]

Yeah, there is an enum in HutState

[lucid iron]

would give writing just a Dictionary<string, string> a shot

i think i tried to use BitArray in Read/WriteSaveData and that also didnt work so there prob are limits

[soft wolf]

Oh, found it!
{"dfeb39a4-9050-4c8e-a300-2ab30ba484bb":{"ShowHUD":false,"Mode":"Crops"},"3627e9d3-b8b2-4135-ba48-76659a08edaa":{"ShowHUD":false,"Mode":"Forest"},"8f3996ea-872b-415e-a4c9-e06dce63cca1":{"ShowHUD":false,"Mode":"Orchard"}}

So it looks like it is saving properly. That's the enum, 'Mode'

And orchard is what it should be, but when I load it's not set to that.

[lucid iron]

what's generating this Guid

is it the location

[soft wolf]

It's the building's guid

Generated by the game when it's placed

[lucid iron]

is that a constant across save loads

i thought it was regenerated

[brittle pasture]

if it's per building data why not just put it in modData

[soft wolf]

Is it? Fack lol

[lucid iron]

i think they wanted per building instance in the world

oh yea modData would be the easiest place

i read customfields oops

[soft wolf]

I base a lot on those guids sadly

Well, not base things on them, but pass them around a lot.

[lucid iron]

well if its like, in ur code

u can just pass around the building instance

[soft wolf]

I could, but man would that be a lot of re-writing lol literally almost every method uses the guid.

[lucid iron]

yea well, not like code works as it is

[soft wolf]

Everthing does except saving loading T_T

Which is a big deal. Bah.

Though all I really need to do is change how the HudState is stored. Will look into modData.

[brittle pasture]

Also seconding rewriting, it's a pain now but modData is so much more convenient and your future self will thank you for it

[ivory plume]

(This is good enough for the SMAPI 4.1.0 release highlights, right? )

[fickle totem]

Hm yes, I particularly like that part with the stuff right there, very good improvement

[rain basalt]

lol

“ Lots of Stuff and Everything “

[tender bloom]

https://feedback.nexusmods.com/posts/3259/let-mod-authors-mark-translations-as-approved-or-obsolete if anyone here wants to support this nexus suggestion it probably won't do anything but there's some chance nexus sees it and realizes it's a good idea!

the classic "user thinks mod is broken when translation is breaking the mod" experience

[soft wolf]

Ok, not has hard as I thought for the hut states at least. Already working!

[lofty ruin]

Why don't some event endings end normally? Like fade to black and stuff. Is it a problem in the code when the event obviously ends but you have to skip in order to leave the cutscene?

[tender bloom]

Vanilla or modded?

in short, yeah probably a bug

[lofty ruin]

Custom mods

Is there a way to fix it?

[tender bloom]

Examine the last bits of the event script and cross-reference vanilla events that work until you figure it out

events are persnickety little beasts

[soft wolf]

If I have an Item class, that I know is a seed, how do I check if it will grow in the current location's season?

[teal bridge]

I think you'd have to check CropData. Via DataLoader.Crops, and read its Seasons.

[brave fable]

something like this?

GameLocation location = Game1.currentLocation;
Season season = location.GetSeason();
string seedId = Crop.ResolveSeedId(item.ItemId, location);
if (Crop.TryGetData(seedId, out var cropData))
{
    if (cropData.Seasons.Contains(season))
        return true;
}

[calm nebula]

Is there a probe argument on hoedirt.plant

[brave fable]

nope, but you'd need a hoedirt instance anyway which would be a nuisance

[teal bridge]

There's a canPlantThisSeedHere but yeah, getting HoeDirt sounds more difficult than the alternative already.

[calm nebula]

You can just init a captive hoedirt and keep it in a field somewhere

[royal stump]

seems like GameLocation.CanPlantSeedsHere might help? it takes an item ID and tile

[brave fable]

oh that looks pretty perfect, more comprehensive than just a season check too

[teal bridge]

You need a tile location, though. I guess it depends on whether this check is being done in an actual planting context or for something like a shop.

[brave fable]

public bool CheckItemPlantRules(string itemId, bool isGardenPot, bool defaultAllowed, out string deniedMessage) tho 🥳

[teal bridge]

Yeah, guessing that is the shortcut to the snippet you posted 5 minutes ago

[royal stump]

yeah, looks like that part doesn't have to* use the tile, CanPlantSeedsHere does tile checks in combo

[hard fern]

What exactly does setting an npcs "friends and family" do? Im not quite sure

[royal stump]

I remember that affects who they greet when passing by with popup "hello" messages and such, but that's about it

[uncut viper]

they can greet em when walking around. plus some other things maybe

but all very minor if anything yeah

[brave fable]

including any value (even null or "") in NPC friends-and-family lets them expose gift tastes in rare dialogue

if you set a value (translated string), they'll use it in the dialogue

[tender bloom]

they might let you in on loves and hates

[hard fern]

Ahh

Thats neat

[brave fable]

author's note:

[rancid temple]

Why the quotes, it's so much worse with the quotes

[lucid iron]

did he have a dad in canon

[brave fable]

chu he canonically wouldnt exist without a dad

[lucid iron]

maybe he's pelican jesus

[hard fern]

... I have like 50 modding wiki tabs open

[brave fable]

ok CP + C# data model load/edit question for tokens

[sweet sphinx]

can I do this? for AdditionalConsumedItems
"ItemId": "(O){{ModId}}_CopperDust, (O){{ModId}}_IronDust, (O){{ModId}}_GoldDust, (O){{ModId}}_IridiumDust",

[lucid iron]

i dont think so? depends on the context

[rancid temple]

ItemId is either one item or an item query

But that's only in certain contexts

[sweet sphinx]

ah, query?

[rancid temple]

Where are you trying to use it?

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Item_queries#Item_queries

[sweet sphinx]

machine, big craftable

custom machine

[rancid temple]

In an output rule?

[sweet sphinx]

uhh, input I think

[lucid iron]

you should just make 4 output rules

[sweet sphinx]

this is the part that in vanilla would be coal

[rancid temple]

Yeah, an item query is like a conditional choice between the provided things

[lucid iron]

if you need these as fuel, then you need extra machine config

its not a thing vanilla supports

[sweet sphinx]

yes it does? I did it with only gold dust before

[lucid iron]

you cannot have different fuel in 1 machine

[rancid temple]

You can do it for the entire machine, but not per item

So you could make one machine that accepts gold dust, but in CP alone not one machine that accepts gold dust, iron dust, copper dust, etc

[sweet sphinx]

nah, it so that I can put in gold dust and a carrot and get a gold plated carrot, and then put in copper dust and a carrot and get a copper plated carrot

[lucid iron]

https://github.com/zombifier/My_Stardew_Mods/tree/master/ExtraMachineConfig#adding-additional-fuel-for-a-specific-recipe

if u dont want to use emc then the only choice is to have 4 machines, one per kind of dust

[sweet sphinx]

i feel like 4 machines is rather excessive/obtuse, so how do I use EMC?

[lucid iron]

emc is a content patcher extension, add it to your dependencies and then follow the docs on how to set it up

these r just custom fields stuff

[brave fable]

i forget if i asked already but i also dont remember an answer so w/e
so since i can't use Load to populate my complex data model with tokenised values, i've tried with ```json
{ // content.json
"Action": "Include",
"FromFile": "assets/Data.json"
}

```json
{   // data.json
    "Action": "Load",
    "Target": "{{PATH}}/Data/Data",
    "FromFile": "assets/Blank.json"
},
{
    "Action": "EditData",
    "Target": "{{PATH}}/Data/Data",
    "Entries": {
        "MyCoolTile": {
            "X": 53,
            "Y": 22
        }
    }
}

for this data model:

public record class ModData
{
  public Vector2 MyCoolTile;
}

but this gives a friendly warning:

[Content Patcher] Can't apply data patch Data > assets/Data.json > Data #2 > entry #1" to Mods/blueberry/Hikawa/Data/Data: failed converting entry to the expected type 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Vector2': Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Vector2' because the type requires a JSON string value to deserialize correctly.

To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON string value or change the deserialized type so that it is a normal .NET type (e.g. not a primitive type like integer, not a collection type like an array or List<T>) that can be deserialized from a JSON object. JsonObjectAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON object.
Path 'X'..

how am i meant to format this file to patch the data into my model correctly?

[uncut viper]

i think vector2s are weird in CP in some way

have you tried "MyCoolTile": "53, 22"

[lucid iron]

whats your equiv of this like

internal static void OnAssetRequested(AssetRequestedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Name.IsEquivalentTo(BazaarAsset))
        e.LoadFrom(() => new Dictionary<string, BazaarData>(), AssetLoadPriority.Exclusive);
}

is it Dictionary<string, ModData>() or something else

[brave fable]

ModEntry.Instance.Helper.GameContent.Load<ModData>(AssetManager.DataAssetName);

[brave fable]

wow, this works. why does this work

why doesn't this work for Point

[lucid iron]

i think it is some silly thing with Vector2 yea

[uncut viper]

i also had to do this recently

dunno why. i think pathos said something about looking into it at some point

iirc its supposed to work both ways but just doesnt right now

(and i think its specifically bc CP itself is supposed to override something abt serialization in the Vector2 class or w/e so thats why its not for Point)

(or maybe its SMAPI. idk)

[sweet sphinx]

fuck it, I might as well make 4 machines, I'm so, so tired

[latent mauve]

Nice thing about making those machines though, is it sounds like you'll be able to copy/paste most of the code for them.

[brave fable]

localtokens...... soon..

[sweet sphinx]

oh, totally, genuinely just copy the whole json, and replace-all for the needed words

[clever sinew]

I check making mods idly and get jumpscared

[hard fern]

who is elliott's "Daddy" i do wonder

we dont see any of the other relatives of marriage candidates XD

[sweet sphinx]

likely either his sugar daddy and/or partner

[brave fable]

well that's technically correct, but 'elliotts daddy is probably his daddy' isn't a very satisfying answer

[knotty phoenix]

clint

[tender bloom]

I assume Blueb edited the data 😛 and I also assume Elliott is originally from somewhere else, so we don't know any of his family

[tiny zealot]

doesn't he say he moved to pelican town to find inspiration for his writing?

[lucid iron]

does game ever use Action OpenShop

[brave fable]

not in maps or code, no

[lucid iron]

but it is common in mods right

for theri custom shops

[brave fable]

i use it for mine

[tiny zealot]

i use it too, but to open a vanilla shop

[lucid iron]

for some reason i thought that command showed a message when the shop is not open

but i must be remembering one of the vanilla's unique shop actions

[rancid temple]

Thought that was set in the shop data and was just part of opening a shop

[lucid iron]

oh i see

[rancid temple]

Oh yeah, it's set per owner lol

Not sure I understand the bolded note though

So one owner entry is for the message and then every other owner doesn't get one?

[brave fable]

from the DesertTrade entry in shops:```json
"Owners": [
{
"Condition": "SEASON_DAY Winter 15 Winter 16 Winter 17",
"Portrait": null,
"Dialogues": null,
"RandomizeDialogueOnOpen": true,
"ClosedMessage": "[LocalizedText Strings\\Locations:Desert_Trader_Closed]",
"Id": "Closed",
"Name": "AnyOrNone"
},
{
"Condition": null,
"Portrait": "",
"Dialogues": [ /* ... */ ],
"RandomizeDialogueOnOpen": true,
"ClosedMessage": null,
"Id": "AnyOrNone",
"Name": "AnyOrNone"
}
]

it's in an owner entry i guess

[lucid iron]

hm i guess that does mean the OpenShop time args dont trigger special message

[tiny zealot]

hat mouse's shop closed message is handled in the Forest map code when it checks the tile, because the shop unlocks after you get an achievement and is never closed after that point

[brave fable]

oooh IceCreamStand even gets more than one ClosedMessage. how exciting

[rancid temple]

Hm, so then does IceCreamStand only have one working message or is that note on the wiki wrong lol

[brave fable]

aaaa why is this vector2 s11n even a problem i dont wanna rewrite 150 entries

[uncut viper]

probably quicker to write a script to do it for you

[brave fable]

i would if i expected to ever need to do this more than once

[calm nebula]

Vector2 sin?

[brave fable]

there aren't 11 letters in i

[lucid iron]

booberry i have a stupid idea

[rancid temple]

Looks like if open and close time are used then it just doesn't work?

[brave fable]

is the idea 'create a class that's just X and Y and then parse it to vector2'

[rancid temple]

Trying to open a shop and having no feedback about being outside the time is kind of wild

[calm nebula]

Well usually in game the shopkeep walks awat

[brave fable]

it gets worse, you still get the 🤚 cursor

[lucid iron]

public class BogusVector2 {
    public float X {get; set;},
    public float Y {get; set;}
}
public class MyData {
    internal Vector2 ActualVect2;
    public BogusVector2 Vect2 {
        get => ActualVect2,
        set {
            ActualVect2 = new Vector2(value.X, value.Y)
        }
    }
}

i did some of this cus i started with a list and decided that naw i actually just want 1 thing

[rancid temple]

This is true (and also the reason I use Self Serve lmao)

[lucid iron]

after ur done u can patch export it back out maybe

to achieve converting all the stuff

[latent mauve]

Time to design a "closed" visual notecard for the counters like Pam's "I'm not at the bus" sign? 😛

[brave fable]

see i did think of that dumb solution myself, but it seems just as much effort making sure all that works than it does to just rewrite vectors as strings and then revert the commit later if it's ever fixed

[lucid iron]

then yea just slap together a python script to do it

or w/e u prefer

[uncut viper]

theres a third option which is make a PR to SMAPI/CP to fix it

[brave fable]

i'll take the unskilled labour approach

[rancid temple]

I never knew you could do Vector2's in such a plain way, I was doing chu's way this entire time lmao

[lucid iron]

wait as in this business with the backing fields

atm {"X": 1, "Y": 1} style seems borked so u have to 1,1

[rancid temple]

Well, not fully your way, yours seems still like more intelligent than I would do lmao

[lucid iron]

but u are supposed to be able to do the {} way, it still works for things like rectangle and point at least

[rancid temple]

I was doing that but just fully converting it from whatever was provided back to a Vector2

[lucid iron]

[uncut viper]

https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/blob/develop/src/SMAPI/Framework/Serialization/Vector2Converter.cs
this is the code Pathos linked last time he mentioned it and mentioned needing to look into it if its not working

[brave fable]

it's not working ☀️

[uncut viper]

its so simple surely this would be an easy PR for someone such as uhh. chu

[lucid iron]

this code in here looks correct though

i guess i should poke it though

[teal bridge]

I'd check if the CP content pack and a regular SMAPI config behave the same way - just to be sure they're using the same/similar serialization strategy.

[brave fable]

maybe that should've been a script after all 🥳

[teal bridge]

The Vector2Converter is there and registered but sometimes people use JsonConvert directly, and that's not necessarily going to use it.

[calm nebula]

(I've noticed it too. Smapi suddenly not using my custom jsonconvertors)

Have I debugged it? No

Will I debug it? No

[lucid iron]

config seems fine actually, weird

[calm nebula]

:pufferthink: https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/112fa31c1186ae864780af98015d5076cc5c3ca9/ContentPatcher/Framework/Patches/EditDataPatch.cs#L376

[lucid iron]

2 yrs ago

[calm nebula]

( @ivory plume ... should this use SMAPI's fancy Vector2Converter and Friends? )

[uncut viper]

that sure is a big switch statement in JToken's ToObject

https://github.com/JamesNK/Newtonsoft.Json/blob/master/Src/Newtonsoft.Json/Linq/JToken.cs#L2013

[ivory plume]

Probably, but Content Patcher 2.4.0 is already in feature freeze for tomorrow's release so it would probably be in 2.5.0.

[calm nebula]

sooo like

it should probably do the primative switch case, but it also should probably use the smapi jsonserializer magic....

[lucid iron]

can mods generally access smapi's jsonserializer?

[teal bridge]

Generally that's done via asset loading.

.json files loaded through the content API go through SMAPI's serializer.

[lucid iron]

i have a dum thing where i turn object to a type determined at runtime

[teal bridge]

...a cast?

[calm nebula]

where the hell is vector2dconvertor again?

[brave fable]

are you searching for vector2converter or vector2Dconverter

[calm nebula]

what is a securitycriticalattribute

[teal bridge]

I think it's ancient CAS stuff.

[calm nebula]

well then

[teal bridge]

Yeah, like I said... ancient.

[ivory plume]

(SMAPI is old, sorry. 🧓)

[calm nebula]

anyways, chu 200 billion, maybe https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/blob/f30293402af4790d6e03b4825bc4e45d3d130e01/src/SMAPI/Framework/SCore.cs#L246C22-L246C29?

[tiny zealot]

@ivory plume i regret to report a regression in build 24308. (same error about tile size 64px; but this time for my 80x64 tilesheet it only complains about the width)

[teal bridge]

(Hey, I'm not criticizing, obviously I'm old enough to have a vague recollection of what [SecurityCritical] actually does.)

[ivory plume]

Yep. The fix was reverted in Stardew Valley 1.6.9 and moved into SMAPI 4.1.0, so it'll be fixed when you get the SMAPI update.

[tiny zealot]

ah, very good. thanks

[teal bridge]

That's where SMAPI registers it, but I think we've established that Content Patcher is not picking it up.

Because the converter works for config files and presumably JSON files loaded through the content API - just not CP.

[calm nebula]

it's weird that my custom jsonconvertors just stopped working one day though 😦

(no I have not debugged more, or checked against smapi later versions, or whatever.)

(this was like three months ago and I was so emotionally defeated I just closed my laptop and walked into a sunset)

[teal bridge]

I think I use a custom converter in Radial Menu (for colors, IIRC) so either it's just your method that stopped working or there was something very recent.

[calm nebula]

was an attribute-based one

https://github.com/atravita-mods/StardewMods/blob/89b54742d1808b7177252410ece31d795759485e/ScreenshotsMod/Framework/UserModels/TimeRange.cs#L15

"does it work now?" "dunno"

[lucid iron]

so why does the string work

[brave fable]

(cough) how dumb is it to create a machine data entry and craftable instance to handle arbitrary item trades

[rancid temple]

Was this the straw that broke the atra's modding spirit?

[lucid iron]

u could just use ur own asset, but have it be Dictionary<string, GenericSpawnDataWithCondition>

or List<GenericSpawnDataWithCondition>

[brave fable]

i like the idea of having the game do all the work tho

[lucid iron]

yea doing this means u just use item query

[brave fable]

oh i see, just my own data and use whatever the machine uses for querying

[silver pelican]

Hawo! Are there any mods (frameworks or similar that lots of mods depend on) that would break for the 1.6.9 update?

[lucid iron]

ig u would do Dictionary<string, GenericSpawnDataWithCondition> and the string is qualified object id

u can ofc just use the machine model here too but best to keep it out of vanilla if theres no real machine

[uncut viper]

very few and of those few probably all of them are either already aware or already have a fix ready

that said, backup everything etc etc and all that

[silver pelican]

Ama be redi to start a new farm kwkwkwkw.

[rancid musk]

I have to say, the code that spawns ores is an absolute mess.

[next plaza]

Patches for 1.6.9:
SpaceCore changes - Guidebooks, tweaks to totem warp object extension data field (new ability to set them not consumable), a few bugfixes.
GMCM changes - New trigger action for opening a mod config menu (spacechase0.GenericModConfigMenu_OpenModConfig modid) for uses like SpaceCore guidebooks, tweaks to use the child menu system where possible (ie. not on the title menu).

I took out the 0 schedule fix from SpaceCore, so don't expect that

These should be going up on Nexus tomorrow around the time of launch (thanks Pathos! I'll be at work)

[rancid musk]

Do we have a time of day for when the launch is happening?

[uncut viper]

quick whats casey's job schedule, we can reverse engineer the patch time

[latent mauve]

Will those work on the beta for tonight, casey?

[next plaza]

It should, I just tested on the build that's currently out

[latent mauve]

awesome

[ivory plume]

(The current game beta is identical to the final release, aside from one minor fix that'll be released later tonight.)

[next plaza]

I don't know if I'm allowed to reveal that or not 😛

[rain basalt]

does that fix include the 64 sizeing fix lol

[rancid musk]

It's possible I'm not releasing my own 1.6.9 builds tonight like I had planned because I got caught up deciding to add a new trigger action for spawning ores for no other reason than I felt like it. I'll just... push my 1.6.9 builds tomorrow whenever the update goes live, if I can time it.

[next plaza]

Wow, eating into FTM/ItemExtensions/SpaceCore spawnables territory, I see how it is /s

[rancid temple]

More cakes, infinite cakes

[lucid iron]

romance of the three (location spawnables) kingdoms

[rain basalt]

gotta love bugs

[calm nebula]

(sorta but not really. Also by git commits that was probably closer to five months ago lol.)

[tiny zealot]

so far (not finished checking), of my mods only Lacey needs an update, and it's not critical so i'm not worried about timing

[tiny zealot]

cf. #making-mods-general message, i reported the same regression

[rancid musk]

Yeah, the SpaceCore spawnable stuff didn't exist back when I started adding all these random things to Cloudy Skies.

(Well maybe it did but it wasn't documented at least)

[next plaza]

Oh I'm aware

I was just giving you a hard time

[rancid musk]

I'm actually using Item Extensions API too, so people can spawn stuff from that.

[next plaza]

Nexus, really, of all times to go down

[rancid musk]

Would you rather it went down tomorrow? 😛

[ivory plume]

Yeah, Nexus likes to go down right before major Stardew updates.

[next plaza]

Yes, because I won't care tomorrow

[calm nebula]

why before though?

[lucid iron]

if it goes down tmr then it'd be better for support channel

[next plaza]

Well I guess it would cause Pathos issues, so yes I care

[calm nebula]

lol

[next plaza]

Pathos suggested a workaround so I could upload the files and set up descriptions now, and he can just move the file to the right section tomorrow

[calm nebula]

people be impatient

[calm nebula]

ahhh I actually meant "why would nexus be seeing unexpected amounts of traffic rn"

[rancid temple]

As if people won't go to the support channel if Nexus goes down tomorrow

[latent mauve]

GMCM icon is still missing from title screen, is that expected?

[next plaza]

It's working fine for me

[latent mauve]

hmm

[latent mauve]

it's definitely still clickable but not visible for me

[next plaza]

Do you have any UI recolors?

[lucid iron]

did game have any way to convert 0800 to 8:00AM

[calm nebula]

doubts

[latent mauve]

nope, but I do have Mod Update Menu which may be interfering maybe, since that's not visible either

lemme grab a log so you have my mod list

[tiny zealot]

surely it has one, since it does that conversion to display it on the TimeMoneyMenu or whatever it is

[uncut viper]

the GMCM button is not there for me either

[lucid iron]

+1 for gmcm button

[rain basalt]

button not there but if i click area it pops up

[latent mauve]

Log: https://smapi.io/log/e35cddf4ab0f4c64a59ede442626aad7

[ocean sail]

Log Info: SMAPI 4.1.0-beta.5 with SDV 1.6.9 build 24308 on Microsoft Windows 10 Home, with 14 C# mods and 10 content packs.
Suggested fixes: One or more mods are out of date, consider updating them

[calm nebula]

[latent mauve]

Mod Update Menu is confirmed broken, but that's fine since it just won't load

[lucid iron]

oh it just has its own StringBuilder lol

[calm nebula]

that's amazing amounts of hardcoding tbh

[lucid iron]

terror

[calm nebula]

especially for things like, ngl, there's format strings for

[rain basalt]

ghost button

[rancid musk]

GMCM is shy

[next plaza]

What does the assets folder look like for y'all?

[rain basalt]

same

[lucid iron]

its not a windows/linux path thing at least

[uncut viper]

(ditto)

[next plaza]

Hmm

[lucid iron]

should i try building from the repo

[next plaza]

That's a fresh build

[rancid temple]

I gutted my mods list, still not showing for me

[next plaza]

I guess I'll try updating my SMAPI

[next plaza]

(Goodbye autocomplete for smapi commands )

[uncut viper]

you're not even using latest smapi atra

[next plaza]

Bleh, nexus is still down so no smapi update

[calm nebula]

(I'm also on 4.0.8)

[uncut viper]

i didnt know old smapi even worked with 1.6.9

[calm nebula]

oh come on, do I need to be using latest smapi 😛

[next plaza]

I'm on a weird in between of 4.0.8 and 4.1

One that has my autocomplete PR in it

[uncut viper]

atra taking refuge with the people who submit bug reports for mods when theyre 3 versions behind

[calm nebula]

I think I'm on 4.0.8 proper at the moment

[brave fable]

only 3 versions. amateur

[rain basalt]

lol someone submitted an issue with another mod on my greenhouse mods but the strange issue is i had an injector line for custom maps that replace greenhouse.tmx so not sure why the mods bugging for them

[calm nebula]

yeah, maybe murdering all mods on major versions is actually a good idea then

[uncut viper]

im not sayin you need to murder em
but if i ever get asked why a mod of mine isnt working and i see you have outdated anything relevant, you're on thin ice buddy /lh

[latent mauve]

I'm on SMAPI 4.1.0-beta.5

if it matters

[calm nebula]

(but atra, Stardew hasn't even ever see a major version update!)

(yes. I know.)

[latent mauve]

Skull Cavern Elevator is still registering as broken too, so that's fun. 🙂

[calm nebula]

that's amazing

pathos what did you break

also why is more stuff loading now?

[next plaza]

How did you get the SMAPI update

I know there are more rewriters in latest smapi

[latent mauve]

Nexus is working for some of us

[next plaza]

Ah

[uncut viper]

nexus is working for me so

[calm nebula]

I live in a different area than you do

[next plaza]

Nexus hates me, personally

Got it

[uncut viper]

you could compile from the repo

[next plaza]

Effort

[rain basalt]

east coast nexus is working ^..~

[calm nebula]

catbox'ed it, dm'ed you

[rain basalt]

one of you known as DeathTr1be on nexus?

[next plaza]

Hmm, the button object definnitely exists

And the draw is being called

[ivory plume]

(What did I do?)

[calm nebula]

GMCM isnt' drawing its button on screen no more

[next plaza]

GMCM doesn't render in latest SMAPI

In older SMAPI it's fine

[ivory plume]

How old is the SMAPI that works?

[next plaza]

I'm not sure on my end, but 4.0.8 was working for atra

[ivory plume]

Well, there's... a few changes in 4.1.0.

[latent mauve]

4.0.8 was also the last version where Skull Cavern Elevator worked

[calm nebula]

(4.0.8 is the actual 4.0.8, pathos, not some fork.)

[next plaza]

Uh, Pathos

[calm nebula]

(I know I do that too.)

[next plaza]

Does 4.1.0 not end the spritebatch after OnRendered

[calm nebula]

fuck you vs

does anyone remember off the top of their head where the stupid blasted nuget cache is

[next plaza]

On windows it's ~/.nuget I think?

Hmm, it looks like SMAPI should still be ending the sprite batch

[rancid musk]

%USERPROFILE%/.nuget yeah

[ivory plume]

It seems to? OnRendered just calls into RaiseRenderEvent, which does this:

[calm nebula]

what the fuck is wrong with fucking nuget

whyy

stop it

[rancid musk]

I wish I knew why that package does that

[next plaza]

Well, ending the spritebatch (and beginning again so it doesn't crash) didn't work

[ivory plume]

SMAPI 4.1.0 is for Stardew Valley 1.6.9 though, and there's a lot of changes in 1.6.9. So it could also be a change in the game?

[rain basalt]

Updates game breaks everything we all panic 😱 somehow gets fixed at some point

[calm nebula]

no, pathos, I didn't change the game version

[tiny zealot]

atra apparently was running 4.0.8 on 1.6.9

[calm nebula]

just the smapi version, I was doing a lazy

[ivory plume]

I didn't realize 4.0.8 would still work with 1.6.9.

[velvet narwhal]

I thought the save serializer broke smapi

(Which is why it needed the update)

[rain basalt]

I’ll wait for tomorrow scrap and re install everything then submit issues with official releases

[calm nebula]

how the fuck do I disable packagesourcemapping AGAH

okay, finally fucking built

[ivory plume]

There's 128 commits in SMAPI 4.1.0; I can redo the release if you track down the cause, but otherwise it'll probably need to wait until after release day at this point.

(I'm way behind schedule on mod preparations for 1.6.9.)

[next plaza]

All the bug reports I'll get...

[rancid temple]

Time to disable comments

[velvet narwhal]

(Nothing new...)

[next plaza]

Dang it, I needed to finish some S&S stuff tonight, desty's gonna be upset

[hard fern]

looks like stuff is exploding

[tiny zealot]

i'm no expert, but does it matter that the Begin is Game1.spriteBatch and the End is the parameter spriteBatch?

[ivory plume]

Hmmm.

[rain basalt]

[next plaza]

This didn't fix the issue.

            if (this.IsTitleMenuInteractable())
            {
                this.Ui?.Draw(Game1.spriteBatch);
                Game1.spriteBatch.End();
                Game1.spriteBatch.Begin();
            }

I assume it would have if that was the problem

[ivory plume]

That's not intended, but it's most likely Game1.spriteBatch that's being passed in anyway.

[tiny zealot]

(i can't think of an instance offhand where a passed spritebatch isn't Game1.spriteBatch)

[next plaza]

Hmm, I wonder

[lucid iron]

is there something special about the main menu

since gmcm itself works fine, once u click on the invisible button

[calm nebula]

it's not just you, casey

[tiny zealot]

could it be something more pedestrian, like whatever flag that prevents the GMCM button rendering while the vanilla UI buttons are popping in one by one isn't cleared

[brave fable]

okay you two, enough off-topic chat, keep it in #making-stardew-valley

[next plaza]

So, here's something interesting

[calm nebula]

guess who's little performance counter isn't showing up either

[next plaza]

                var rt = Game1.graphics.GraphicsDevice.RenderTargetCount > 0 ? Game1.graphics.GraphicsDevice.GetRenderTargets()[0].RenderTarget : null;
                var rt2 = Game1.game1.uiScreen;
                var rt3 = Game1.nonUIRenderTarget;
                this.Ui?.Draw(e.SpriteBatch);

[ivory plume]

There's one change in SMAPI 4.1.0 that might be relevant? SMAPI now overrides this:

/// <inheritdoc />
public override bool ShouldDrawOnBuffer()
{
    // For some reason, screen positions are UI-scale-adjusted in non-UI mode in the specific case where [a] UI
    // mode is not 100%, and [b] zoom level is 100% (which causes this method to return false). That can cause
    // issues like mods' world overlays being mispositioned with that specific combination of settings.
    //
    // It's not clear why that happens, but there's little reason not to just using the buffer consistently and
    // avoid the issue.

    return true;
}

[next plaza]

rt is a different render texture than rt2

So it sounds like SMAPI is drawing on a different render target than the right one

[ivory plume]

(Possibly related to that block I just posted.)

[tiny zealot]

i think that might be it

my shader mod has a postfix on ShouldDrawOnBuffer which forces it to return true but only during gameplay since it broke the title screen otherwise

        public static void Game1_ShouldDrawOnBuffer_Postfix(
                ref bool __result)
        {
            if (Game1.gameMode == Game1.playingGameMode) {
                __result = true;
            }
        }```

[ivory plume]

I could do the same in SMAPI, though now I'm wondering what else setting that might break.

[latent mauve]

also Casey, unrelated, but I love this. xD

[next plaza]

oops

[lucid iron]

good feature

[next plaza]

Used to GMCM only had a dummy option

Interestingly, the i18n for it already exists

Wonder when I broke that

[velvet narwhal]

i dun got the funny meow

[next plaza]

Wait

[tiny zealot]

(in hindsight, i knew i had seen GMCM's title screen button not rendering before, but i couldn't find it searching on discord. it must have been while i was figuring out the postfix for Nightshade, and not something someone else posted about)

[next plaza]

That might be a GMCM bug

The options themselves should be fine

That page is from a test I did once, and those have meow

[calm nebula]

casey why do I have a tooltip

(see behind the menu)

[next plaza]

Is that in game or title menu?

I'm assuming in game

[calm nebula]

in game

[next plaza]

And that would be because of how tooltips are handled

[latent mauve]

Mine was from clicking Generic Mod Config Menu from the invisible gear on the title menu

[next plaza]

With the new child menu usage

(Since when there's a child menu the parent menu isn't updated)

[velvet narwhal]

if you're wondering exactly what date the GMCM button disappeared: apparently roku said it on sept 8th
#making-mods-general message

[calm nebula]

(that's hilarious)

[velvet narwhal]

(oh hi roku )

[rancid temple]

Hullo, I thought someone else had mentioned it around then too, but I can't remember if it was before I mentioned it or not

[next plaza]

Okay, this is weird:

Why are you getting the wrong hover text

[velvet narwhal]

you're the earliest mention from what i can see

[latent mauve]

the hover text is from the meow, my mouse just moved when I screencapped

[next plaza]

Oh, okay

Crisis averted

[latent mauve]

sorry for the accidental panic xD

[calm nebula]

I'm getting the right hovertext

[next plaza]

I made that page link while testing some stuff and apparently left it in on accident

[calm nebula]

(including with the zooms intentionally mismatched)

[next plaza]

Nexus loads, hooray

[ivory plume]

(I'll finish preparing the cantorsdust mod updates, then I'll add the SMAPI fix for the title button thing.)

[next plaza]

Okay, the new versions are on Nexus under Old Versions if anyone wants to get it from there. (Pathos is moving it for me tomorrow when it's time)

(I also moved the 1.5.6 versions to no longer be in the main section)

[next plaza]

Hooray!

After 1.6.9 releases I'm going to be taking a break from modding for a bit besides any bugfixes. Not sure how long it'll be - it won't be several months or anything long like that I don't think. I probably won't be checking this discord too much, so ping me for anything important

[uncut viper]

are pictures of my cat important enough?

[sweet sphinx]

absolutely

[next plaza]

Always

[uncut viper]

[vernal crest]

A break sounds like a really great idea, Casey. I hope you will be able to take a break as well, Pathos.

[ivory plume]

(Right after a game update is about as busy as it gets for me, sadly.)

[next plaza]

Clearly you need to release the update and then ignore nexus, leaving them to the wolves

[vernal crest]

(So when things settle down after that we kick you out for a while? Noted. /j)

[ivory plume]

I can just imagine coming back from break to "999+ notifications", and just being like welp I'm retired now.

[next plaza]

That's when you clear your notifications and only answer new messages

[velvet narwhal]

just come in with a "hi, i'm back, what broke? /lh"

[lucid iron]

Say casey did you ever fix the spacecore animation + localized textures thing

[next plaza]

Nope, forgot about it

Gone to bed now so definitely won’t be happening tonight

[ivory plume]

Okay, I think I'm ready for tomorrow unless I forgot something.

[lucid iron]

Panic. 👀

[brave fable]

i feel like panic should come before release day

[silver pelican]

We will panic with u if ever xd

[teal bridge]

10 releases on the same day, what could possibly go wrong?

[ivory plume]

(Technically 44 releases.)

[velvet narwhal]

i was gonna say it's definitely more than 10 based on the support tiers

[teal bridge]

Yeah, those monorepos are multiple, but I wasn't going to count up all the mods in each.

[silver pelican]

Speaking of smapi & releases, mobile players also feel anxious about the update on smapi for android devices (afaik ZaneYork's release was 2023)

[teal bridge]

The Nexus uploads alone will probably take hours.

[velvet narwhal]

myuu just said it very plainly

[calm nebula]

stf needs a recompile and and a reupload

[ivory plume]

(Unfortunately I don't think anyone knows whether ZaneYork will return, who will update the Android port, or whether it's even possible.)

[calm nebula]

for the shopmenu item blah changes

brain is dead

the struct->class

[teal bridge]

Android SMAPI is already deprecated, I don't think 1.6.9 is making it... more deprecated?

[ivory plume]

(1.6.9 adds more optimisations like ahead-of-time compilation which make it more difficult.)

[ivory plume]

Do you know off-hand if Train Station is working in 1.6.9?

[teal bridge]

Yes, but I mean, Android users have already been stuck on 1.5, haven't they?

[ivory plume]

Yep.

[velvet narwhal]

i'm on it to go check*

[calm nebula]

no idea, sorry!

(also JA needs a recompile too, I probably should have mentioned that to casey when she was here, huh.)

same reason

[ivory plume]

I'll add a quick Shop Tile Framework build to the list for tomorrow, though the full update will be during the later 'keeping the lights on' update wave.

[calm nebula]

does it need any changes from what's in her repo at the moment?

one second

[velvet narwhal]

oh yknow i'll just take your support tiers and give you a log

[ivory plume]

I haven't really done anything in that repo since the 1.6.0 beta fixes; it's due for my usual refactor pass when I first take over maintenance.

[calm nebula]

this should match exactly what's on her repo at the moemnt

(I just happened to have it open b/c Aquarium)

(...sorry)

[silver pelican]

(inserting sad cat noises for our dear android players xdd)

[calm nebula]

train station looks like it should be fine

at least, I don't see any obvious major issues

(I do spot an issue with audio but that's not a big deal)

[ivory plume]

Thanks! I added a Shop Tile Framework alpha to the list; it'll probably be towards the end of the day since it's at #11 though.

[calm nebula]

(we love you Pathos!)

[velvet narwhal]

shakes fist at that 25mins ago commit https://smapi.io/log/3e73db32a73946d286a0c3f93f5d859f but so far, everything else is good

[ocean sail]

Log Info: SMAPI 4.1.0-beta.5 with SDV 1.6.9 build 24309 on Microsoft Windows 10 Home, with 88 C# mods and 39 content packs.
Suggested fixes: One or more mods are out of date, consider updating them

[ivory plume]

Thanks! Better RNG already has an update ready for tomorrow. I could probably add a rewriter to fix TMXLoader in SMAPI 4.1.1, though unfortunately rewriting the other broken mods isn't really possible with SMAPI's current rewrite system.

[velvet narwhal]

t'was part of the huge list for the tech support to tell me what major frameworks i should go and check for (lessen the burden i hope )

[clever sinew]

......I have another asset use question 😭

well

hmmm

maybe not actually

[calm nebula]

...my json converters live?

[rancid musk]

(I'll probably update the decompile repo if you want another PR. I've been doing it locally against the patches anyways.)

[rancid musk]

(That was supposed to be a reply to this, lol.)

[ivory plume]

Sure!

[clever sinew]

(I'm trying to figure out whether a mod is Online usage vs Digital Distribution for the purposes of this royalty free license)

(And considering whether this is even worth it)

[rancid musk]

IANAL, but online usage sounds more like something for display in a web browser versus digital distribution being not in a web browser

[clever sinew]

Y e s, and also this person uploaded sprites which I know belong to the pokemon company and is billing them as royalty free

So i'm not gonna touch that, actually

thank you though!

[rancid musk]

Clearly you need sprites of Pals instead.

[ivory ridge]

How does the texture overlay feature of CP work in regards to mod compatibility? Is it good practice to go for that rather than replace a whole texture? I'm currently retexturing the wood on trees and cutting the leaves out since I'm not changing that

[languid aurora]

is StardewXnbHack not working on the most recent SDV beta or is it just me?

[ivory ridge]

So I've got something like this for each tree

[languid aurora]

I just used it yesterday on build 24307 or else I would assume it was me

[calm nebula]

what's the error message

[lucid iron]

You definitely have 1.1.1?

[languid aurora]

Oh, nvm, I see there's a v1.1.1

Surprised 1.1.0 worked yesterday somehow

[calm nebula]

!unpack

[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.

[calm nebula]

(I just wanted to see the repo changes)

[languid aurora]

Maybe I ran it before I updated SMAPI to the beta version, actually

[ivory ridge]

Actually glad you just posted that since I've been using xnbcli and didn't know StardewXnbHack existed

[languid aurora]

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewXnbHack/releases

[ivory ridge]

Yeah, I'm downloading it now

I seem to get an error on running it

[calm nebula]

make sure smapi is updated to latest

-beta 5 or something

[ivory ridge]

Yeah, that was my first thought, but I did that

Although it may not be the beta

I'm on 4.0.8

[calm nebula]

you need to be on the beta

[latent mauve]

That is indeed not the beta

You should be on SMAPI 4.1.0-beta. something

Mine was beta.5 when I downloaded SMAPI beta earlier today, but I dunno if there's a new one already

[languid aurora]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2400?tab=files

[vernal crest]

You should be using 1.1.0 instead because you're not on the beta

[latent mauve]

Yeah, use whichever version of xnbhack corresponds to your SDV and SMAPI version

[ivory ridge]

Yeah, switching over to 1.1.0 fixed it, thanks

[brave fable]

any idea why the cp token {{SHRINE}} resolved to ShrineTrees > [0] > Key: Custom_Hikawa_Shrine , but {{ID}} didn't resolve in ShrineTrees > [0] > Value > [0] > Id
{{ID}} is 100% ready since it's used in the {{SHRINE}} token

[ivory ridge]

Oh man, that's definitely more convenient than xnbcli lmao

[hard fern]

😔 xnblci said no when i tried to unpack data/characters.xnb

[ivory ridge]

I haven't even updated it since I first installed it

Which was apparently in 2021 lmao

[tiny zealot]

xnbcli can't handle the data model assets. it worked back in 1.5 when everything was string->string

[ivory ridge]

Okay I've finished recoloring all the trees, I'm done for the night lmao

Hopefully I'll have this mod finished by December

[brave fable]

{{ID}} is resolved in string keys, why not in string fields on values

[ivory ridge]

I'm unfortunately useless on that, but what editor are you using? I've been using Notepad++ and it's possibly a bit inadequate

[brave fable]

this is visual studio since i'm mainly working with c# builds, but you can use Sublime Text or VSCode for just doing json fluff

[ivory ridge]

I've had Visual Studio installed for months and I still haven't used it tbh

[brave fable]

vscode is more capable, sublime is lightweight and sleek but asks you to pay money sometimes

[ivory ridge]

Especially weird since I'm a CS major

I've mostly been doing MIPS this semester though

I've also been using GIMP for years and should probably acquire (pirate) a copy of Photoshop at some point but I am unfortunately lazy

[teal bridge]

Not the place to discuss that. (Keep it legal.)

[vernal crest]

Yeah rule 9

[latent mauve]

There are lots of lovely Photoshop alternatives if you'd prefer not to enter the Adobe subscription cycle. I've gotten pretty used to Krita for a lot of what I used Photoshop for.

[calm nebula]

(if you're willing to pay a little money I hear affinity designer is good)

[teal bridge]

I'm a fan of Affinity. Not free, but far less abusive than Adobe price-wise.

[brave fable]

photopea is almost perfect if you want something portable and web-based

[vernal crest]

Affinity is also free for 6 months right now

I used Affinity Photo for a couple of months before getting too cross at it crashing on me and moving on to Aseprite.

[teal bridge]

It is not really ideal as a pixel art program - but then neither is photoshop.

(Never had Affinity crash on me, mind you.)

[brave fable]

photoshop works pretty darn well for me

[calm nebula]

ooh!

even for commercial use?

[lusty halo]

Most art programs are decent for pixel art, it's pixel animation that's a pain in the cough to do, so for that I bought Aseprite. (unfortunately, animation in general is a pain and you do need apps that explicitly say "we do animation".

[clever sinew]

does anyone know if "any vegetable" (category -75) can be used as an ingredient in cooking recipes?

[velvet narwhal]

i think the general categories except for uhhhhhhh flowers will show appropriately

i can re-check the message for that one though

[clever sinew]

I just wanted to doublecheck before I have to spend ten minutes testing it

Thank you

[brittle pasture]

only fish, eggs and milk work unfortunately

[clever sinew]

dang

[brittle pasture]

(and wild seeds, with a special hardcoded -777 ingredient)

[clever sinew]

oh well, specific vegetables it is

woe is me /s

[velvet narwhal]

i commit the cardinal sin, i make my hobby project a dehardcode of crafting/cooking recipe

[brittle pasture]

if you want you can use SpaceCore for "any vegetables" in recipes

[vernal crest]

Hmm I'm not sure but I can't see anything on the website about what use it's allowed for and it doesn't mention it when I open it

[clever sinew]

it is truly not worth it, I was just looking at categories and was curious

noted though

[vernal crest]

No this is specific to my struggles with RAM overall, I think, since I get Photoshop slowing down to the point of freezing, VS22 lagging and freezing, and Stardew lagging and crashing as well.

[woeful lintel]

@lusty halo I see you're looking into making Furniture with CP, if you have issues with how your Furniture rotate, I can help: I've looked into the game's code and it's quite the mess so it can be hard to understand with only what's in the wiki.

Uh, I just checked the guid from MathPerson and it's doing a pretty good job explaining these issues...

[brave fable]

any vegetable works with any recipe iirc, it just doesn't have any display text/icon (except with love of cooking ig)

maybe i patch it into default cooking menu

[lusty halo]

thank you! Yeah MathPerson was very kind to make a guide, it seems easy to understand as well. Might still take a while but I'll be working on it when I can.

[brittle pasture]

yeah it's like a couple lines in a postfix, the reason I haven't done it is because SpaceCore exists and we could use that instead (all hail SpaceCore)

[brave fable]

ah well then we have the opposite problem of spacecore recipes don't appear in love of cooking

[brave fable]

i can't even see anything in the cp tokens docs about tokens being unusable in model string values, i have no idea lol

maybe i'll just make the id values the non-token part and assume every id starts with the token value and join them later

[rancid musk]

(Vegetable (Any) also works for Better Crafting, though I'm not patching it into the vanilla menu either. Mostly because the vanilla tooltips are awful lol)

Actually it should be pretty easy to patch that in, I just went to look again

stares at the un-released 1.6.9 build of Better Crafting

[clever sinew]

The thing is, with all this discussion, all I can think of is maybe changing vegetable medley to take any vegetable

Or for veggie pizza, I suppose

I don’t even know what i’ll do for that from vanilla crops. Maybe that’ll be a cornucopia recipe

Broccoli maybe?

Hmm

[latent mauve]

I've seen artichokes used on veggie pizzas before

[rancid musk]

Plus side: this patch was easy to write
Minus side: I don't have any mods to actually test it against right now, and my test recipe is BC-only

It should make all of these work with the exception of icons for Meat and Cooking. ... and I really should rename Meat to Animal Product

[velvet narwhal]

mmmmmmmm meat

but what about bug meat?

[brave fable]

are you implying i can use wool as a meat substitute

[knotty phoenix]

what are the chances of 1.6.9 changing anything about how CP works

[rancid musk]

It's a great way to cut costs. I love fleecing my customers.

Mostly though this page says the english translation is "Animal Product" https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding%3AItems#Categories

[calm nebula]

I love cooking with ten gold and junk

Exactly how my cooking goes normally

[rancid musk]

Old family recipe. Makes the best giant red Xs you've ever had

[rancid temple]

10 gold and junk is the recipe for getting in my car and going to taco bell

[brave fable]

i always enjoyed a good home-made 🚫

[royal stump]

Nothing much has changed about CP itself, as far as I know, and it generally tries to auto-fix ("migrate") any obsolete stuff in older packs. That said, 1.6.9 changes some data assets a bit, which are listed here if you're looking up anything specific:
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Migrate_to_Stardew_Valley_1.6.9

(personally, my only content issue was that some tool names moved to another file)

[rancid temple]

There was the removal of some unused in vanilla files, that could cause an issue if you were using them, but they were all things that were really oddly sized so it would be weird if you were

[brave fable]

i'm afraid if you were using any of the pre-sdv1.0 spritesheets your mod deserves to be incompatible

[rancid temple]

Lmao, harsh but fair

[hard fern]

pre 1.0?

[inner harbor]

Whats the 1.6.9 status of Farm type Manager btw? Anyone know?

[rancid temple]

Seems to still be working

[hard fern]

i finished all my spring dialogue

for only 12 lines it was a lot

[strong star]

excuse me, do you know how does the command world_freezetime stop the time? i've looked up the update functions (likeGame1.shouldTimePass()) of the game, but found that no one is set false when the command stops the time.

[calm nebula]

That command actually just resets time back ten minutes every ten minutes

https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/blob/7a91eeebe21c5032c661905364126c823501aa55/src/SMAPI.Mods.ConsoleCommands/Framework/Commands/World/FreezeTimeCommand.cs#L53

[atomic current]

hello! i've been told to message here for any modding help
so this is my first time creating a custom npc for stardew and im having a difficult time making sense of this error log while i was testing the NPC's schedule:

[ocean sail]

Log found, uploaded to: https://smapi.io/log/7968a37894ce459393785b8689996d01

[atomic current]

what does it mean? i've just been following the wiki's documentation so idk what i'm doing wrong 😭

[calm nebula]

The way arrival schedules work is that the game simply subtracts the amount of time needed to travel to thar location

In particular, your npc needs to leave at 1330 to make 1600

Npcs travel slower and maps are bigger than you think

You're giving your npc too many way points

Look at how many vanilla has

[atomic current]

ohhh i see, thank you! i'll try adding them one by one for now lol

[strong star]

wow, thank you so much!!! what if i set isTimePaused true? i've tried and found the in-game time display(like 6:00)will twinkle, what're the consequences of doing so?

[calm nebula]

If you do that, things like buffs don't count down iirc

Why

Why do you need this?

[strong star]

do you mean why do i need freeze the time? i often use this command, and want to make a small mod that have some shorter commands, so that i can use them more easily

[calm nebula]

Could just make your command call thar command

https://github.com/atravita-mods/StardewMods/blob/89b54742d1808b7177252410ece31d795759485e/SinZsEventTester/ModEntry.cs#L335

[strong star]

wow, really? thatll be really good! at first i wanted to do so, but i can't find some relative apis on wiki

[vernal crest]

If you just want to make your own mod then you can ignore me but I just want to make sure you know that there are already mods that freeze time easily (for example TimeSpeed lets you set a hotkey to freeze time).

[strong star]

thank you! ill try it!

[royal stump]

I've been on hiatus so my testing's been limited, but the existing version loads in 1.6.9 and I haven't found/heard about any new bugs yet.
(Got some on backlog to fix, but nothing new, and I'm back at it now)

relatedly, I'm finally done documenting the weird triggers/actions/GSQs I added to EMP a few months ago
should be ready to go up when the update happens

[blissful panther]

Okay... time for the big final 1.6.9 compatibility push for everything.

[lusty halo]

So, Stardew will update to 1.6.9 and I've reached 1,696.9 "play" hours... (or however you read/write hours in English)

[rain basalt]

WB esca I came back recently as well

[vernal crest]

Reading Furniture.cs

[lusty halo]

WB to all returners. I also am like the wind, I disappear for months, then post a couple images for feedback, then I update all my mods and disappear again.

[tall wind]

I get an error when I use ObeliskWarp in the map properties, does anyone know what it is?

[game] Saloon (10, 10) has unknown warp property 'ObeliskWarp 20 20 Custom_TestMap', parsing with legacy logic.

Why is that?

[vernal crest]

If your property is set up the way it looks in that error message, you have it in the wrong order. It needs to be ObeliskWarp Custom_TestMap 20 20 according to its entry in the wiki.

[tall wind]

Oh, sorry I noticed that and tried to fix it as per the Wiki, but I still get the same error message.

[calm nebula]

That's normal

[tiny zealot]

wow, my ILSpy decompile of 1.6.9's GameLocation.performAction is... well

[calm nebula]

That's how it works, it accidentally got caught up in the npc pathfinder systems

And yes I'm amused

[vernal crest]

So it's just always going to have that error message? Does it still work?

[tall wind]

Errors still appear.

[calm nebula]

Yeah, works fine for intended purposes, I don't recall if npcs will try to take that warp

[vernal crest]

Atra just said it will always have errors and that's normal

[tiny zealot]

                    case 7:

#making-mods-general message

[tall wind]

Are you saying that the Obelisk Warp action property is not currently functional?

[calm nebula]

It works for players

I don't recall what npcs will try to do

But you will always have that warning

[lucid iron]

huh my decompile looks normal

[tall wind]

Oh, I touched the tiles to try it out and the warp worked fine.
But it's quite disturbing when the warning text is always there...

[lost hull]

would adjusting time/time requirements be a content patcher or c# mod? speaking of things like crop growth, fence decay, day length and the like

[tiny zealot]

(my ILSpy may be old. i typically never update stuff until it's actually necessary)

[lucid iron]

i have 8.2.0.7535

[tiny zealot]

mine is 7.2 so that could be it. oh well

[lucid iron]

khloe said decompile repo update soon-ish

[tiny zealot]

that's what i typically use. but i needed to crack open the 1.6.9 beta for myself to fix a harmony patch, so

[calm nebula]

It's likely that tbh. That particular format of emitting switches is very recent

See post I linked

[lucid iron]

crop growth: you could manually adjust all crop data, won't cover modded crops though
fence decay: there's a Health field in fences, again wont cover modded fences
day length: this one is C#, checkout timespeed

[vernal crest]

Is it going to be helpful if I put info about the hardcoded name-related things in the name field for furniture on the wiki? Things like if the name has TV in it, the placement restriction is 0, etc.

[blissful panther]

(Huh. I didn't know this was the case, but apparently Smart Building can pick up furniture with the things on it still on it. )

[calm nebula]

Gentle reminder other things can also have things on them

[tiny zealot]

thanks! i saw it. i'm not concerned at this time

[velvet narwhal]

Well MEEP fwiw worked fine in 1.6.9 #making-mods-general message

[blissful panther]

Most of my mods are thankfully effectively 99% there, it's just that every single one will need a rebuild for 1.6.9 because of the shared project.

[tiny zealot]

ouch

[lucid iron]

not too late to separate your repos

[next plaza]

If you separate your repos you lose history

Do I really want to lose that?

Also, jsut remembered to push the last 1.6.9 fixes to github

[atomic current]

hello! i'm back again with another question, this time with sprite animations (for custom npcs)
how do you animate something like willy's fishing animation where the size is like 16x64? because ive noticed that you can only usually show a 16x32 sprite per animation frame. is there a way where you can change the size of the animation sprite instead?

[velvet narwhal]

you'll need spacecore for larger schedule animations https://github.com/spacechase0/StardewValleyMods/tree/develop/SpaceCore

[atomic current]

oh.. is there no way to just do it in json?

[velvet narwhal]

adjusting the data/character size might come about unintended glitches, it might skew your entire character sheet rather than the indexes you'd like

[atomic current]

hmm wait
how does willy's fishing animation work then? i just wanted to replicate something like that because the size of my animation is the same as his

[velvet narwhal]

willy's is hardcoded

[atomic current]

ah

[vernal crest]

Are you wanting to do it in a schedule or an event?

[atomic current]

in a schedule

my character fishes too

[vernal crest]

Then yep SpaceCore it is

Or your own C# of course

[velvet narwhal]

the realistic workaround, is that the npc does not move at all during fishing

you set the data/character size during that day, set a 0 schedule, and set the animationDescription

but the moment the npc moves, you'll get the overskewed character sheet

[vernal crest]

Do you mean "not move at all during the day"? Because I doubt many people are going to make their NPC pace back and forth while fishing anyway

[velvet narwhal]

yeah, like, no schedule movement at all

[vernal crest]

And I don't think you even could

[velvet narwhal]

just fish, from dawn until dusk

oh forgot one extra stipulation on that* loading a completely different spritesheet that has the same size index as your fishing sprites

[atomic current]

ohhh

how does that work?

[velvet narwhal]

it might look extremely weird, but whatever height your fishing sprite is, offset all of your sprite indexes by that amount

so instead of every frame being 16x32, it's 16x45 or whichever you put, make sure that the npc is at the bottom of each index

and then that might be fine, but again, unintended glitches are highly probable

[fathom hound]

I can’t find the mod author notes for 1.6.9 release, trying to see what I need to update for all my mods

Am I blind or tired, or both?

[vernal crest]

You mean this? https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Migrate_to_Stardew_Valley_1.6.9

[tiny zealot]

aba wins the fastest fingers award

[vernal crest]

And you don't have any C# mods do you so, nothing I think

[velvet narwhal]

checks history

[vernal crest]

Hmm I don't like this whole closing and then having to open tabs thing

[velvet narwhal]

hmm fish pond color hmmmmm

[fathom hound]

Thanks!

[fathom hound]

Oh okay lovely tysm!

[latent mauve]

Oh right, I should probably pull myself out of the beta branch now that my testing is done

[fathom hound]

True

Thanks for reminding

[royal stump]

summary of EMP's next update today, in case anyone wants access to some C# events/logging in a content pack

• Adds game state queries: Can Player Move, Is Player Free, Is Split Screen, Is World Ready
• Adds trigger action: Log Message
• Adds triggers: Game Launched, One Second Update Ticked, Returned to Title, Save Loaded, Time Changed

(also I guess ArgUtility has an "argument name" param now, which is the only reason this is incompatible with 1.6.8)

[blissful panther]

That's the kind of tiny change that's resulted in this:

Upload API, Nexus... please...

[lucid iron]

wait nexus doesnt have one?

[blissful panther]

Not an official one, at least!

[lucid iron]

i kind of assumed people with 50 mods have some auto deploy setup tbh

[calm nebula]

To be fair when you upload mods twice a year

Or zero times a year

[lucid iron]

well, i'll amend that to "i assumed pathos had some auto deploy setup for the pathos-waves"

In fairness the ArgUtility argument name parameter is largely handled by rewriters. It's just the one to parse an enum is broken because the rewriters are not good at generics.

[whole raptor]

Same... just updating 3 mods at once is a nightmare for me...

[royal stump]

ah, yeah, the only ones I happen to use there are Enum and Remainder, which both disliked 1.6.8

[blissful panther]

I'm tempted to just shove these files onto Nexus as the current versions of my mods' main files right now ahead of 1.6.9 launching...

[royal stump]

same, just resisting the urge and leaving all the necessary tabs open

[blissful panther]

I have given in.

I am no longer resisting the urge.

[iron ridge]

Time to figure out how to read save files on switch

[tiny zealot]

i'm only planning to drop one update right away, and i can't bring myself to do that one without verifying it against the real release

[inner harbor]

I uploaded mine last night, just in case.

(Hope it works)

Need Farm Type Manager to update properly so its good to see you here, Esca

[blissful panther]

The coloured slime feature has made it in to the 1.6.9 update too, by the way!

[inner harbor]

Nice ill get onto that event this week (gotta make some custom sprites and a map first). Working on making Victoria a fully fledged NPC.

[blissful panther]

And... every mod uploaded. Now we wait and sweat.

[clever sinew]

I asked in the wrong channel so i’ll throw it in here — the new dialogue keys are optional right?

For accepting gifts?

[latent mauve]

I need to update my mod to add the EMA dependency for the fancy new EMA features now that 1.6.9 is upon us, but that can wait, since my current mod won't break in the 1.6.9 wave.

[tiny zealot]

yes. or at least i haven't found one that isn't yet

[latent mauve]

Finally, Useable Community Center will have LedgerBook technology!

[clever sinew]

Cool thank you

[latent mauve]

(thanks rokugin, you're the best)

[inland cedar]

Is there an advanced player here playing with Market Town and seeing the CP not loading the grange display on the festival day?

[next plaza]

For what it's worth, there haven't been any git changes since last night's build

[tiny zealot]

(i am paranoid and it's not critical. the current release works)

[blissful panther]

hg changes, on the other hand... /j

[brittle ledge]

The 1.6. item ||Stardrop Tea|| is required, the rest are not.

[whole raptor]

Surprisingly I think this item is the only 1.6 mystery I know nothing about

[brittle ledge]

Wow, you did better with spoilers than I did

[velvet narwhal]

(i am now freed to clean up my 1.6.9 folder)

[proven vigil]

Woohoo!

[blissful panther]

It has happened.

[velvet narwhal]

[whole raptor]

Not for me

[latent mauve]

I had to close and reopen Steam for it to find the update. 😉

[blissful panther]

It initially didn't for me, I just forced it to verify the game files.

[velvet narwhal]

oh i had to turn off beta

[blissful panther]

Quicker than restarting Steam!

[whole raptor]

Oh yeah, true

[tiny zealot]

well, now my spouse room divides by zero, so i'm glad i waited

[blissful panther]

...oh no.

[ivory plume]

(I'll look into that after the initial update wave.)
