making-mods-general

[tiny zealot]

speaking of good mod names,
Your cat becomes a crab and your horse becomes a shark with human legs wearing red sneakers

[uncut viper]

(/j i know you're on break)

[uncut viper]

is this compatible with sve?

[tender bloom]

there's a reason I made my commands in C# vl.commandName

I got sick of typing

[uncut viper]

oh thats a real mod

i thought you were making a joke

[next plaza]

After all the other SMAPI/CP PRs ideas I have

[royal stump]

it's also an XNB mod, so I have no idea if it's compatible

[next plaza]

I mean, SMAPI has a pending PR for autocomplete support...

[lucid iron]

i thought this is already in the autocomplete console

[next plaza]

Nope

[tender bloom]

[next plaza]

Admittedly it needs more testing besides just me

Why are there so many conflicts now

[calm nebula]

we love you for it.

[lucid iron]

its cus pathos did the namespace thing

[next plaza]

Namespace thing?

[lucid iron]

changed all scope level namespaces to file level

[next plaza]

Mod authors will have to manually add autocomplete support for arguments for their commands

[calm nebula]

he did a what

[next plaza]

Oh. sigh

[lucid iron]

yea unfort

[next plaza]

WHY PATHOS

That breaks all the blames

[uncut viper]

what does manually adding autocomplete support look like. like, specifying a substring that it should start to catch on?

[lucid iron]

it'd be another argument to adding console command rn?

[uncut viper]

i dont even use any commands in any of my mods so idk why im asking but i like shiny new features

[calm nebula]

it's not like he didn't refactor shit anyways

like

[next plaza]

It's a new overload to the register command thing

To not break compat

Here's SMAPI's help command

[lucid iron]

there was this from aloe https://github.com/aceynk/ConsoleMacros

[next plaza]

And here's the new overload

[ivory plume]

(I tend to use the file history instead of git blame, since blame will mostly just show 'Pathoschild' on every line even before this change.)

[next plaza]

Does git blame not show the commit summary (or some of it) like the website does?

[ivory plume]

It does, but it's only really useful in a codebase that rarely changes so the line doesn't change after it was first added (since it only shows the last edit to the line).

[teal bridge]

I love blame for quick troubleshooting. Sometimes have to drop back to history, but blame is very useful.

It's particularly great for answering those "wtf is this and why is it here?" questions.

[half tangle]

what happened to my SMAPI console? it's tiny and the styles are completely changed. this is very much not helpful for development...

[ivory plume]

Did you recently install or uninstall a system terminal?

[half tangle]

nope

Steam did download some Linux runtime something? I didn't catch it and idk where to find download history...

but that was done without my say

My main terminal window for my computer is not changed

[ivory plume]

SMAPI's launcher has a bit of logic to choose a compatible terminal:

# if user said preferred terminal
if [ "$PREFER_TERMINAL_NAME" != "" ]; then
    export TERMINAL_NAME=$PREFER_TERMINAL_NAME
else
    # select terminal (prefer xterm for best compatibility, then known supported terminals)
    for terminal in xterm gnome-terminal kitty terminator xfce4-terminal konsole terminal termite alacritty mate-terminal x-terminal-emulator wezterm; do
        if command -v "$terminal" 2>/dev/null; then
            export TERMINAL_NAME=$terminal
            break;
        fi
    done
fi

# find the true shell behind x-terminal-emulator
if [ "$TERMINAL_NAME" = "x-terminal-emulator" ]; then
    TERMINAL_NAME="$(basename "$(readlink -f "$(command -v x-terminal-emulator)")")"
    export TERMINAL_NAME
fi

If you prefer a specific terminal, one option is to specify the --prefer-terminal-name <name> command-line argument when you launch SMAPI.

[tiny zealot]

(i am in the habit of editing the launcher after install to check for my preferred terminal first)

[half tangle]

I'm so confused why it just decided to change on its own... I'll see if I can do something with that argument, but this is very... frustrating to randomly encounter

[ivory plume]

(SMAPI didn't change anything; it sounds like something in your system or environment did.)

[half tangle]

good to know - thank you for the insight, Pathos

[tiny zealot]

this order of terminal checks has been around for a long time

[ivory plume]

The order has been established through blood and troubleshooting tears. It is now the way.

[brave fable]

you should really consider exporting the tilesets of existing maps rather than redefining all tile properties and tile animations. just be aware that not every map has identical tilesets even with the same tilesheet image

[lucid iron]

cam you can try the thing to open smapi in current console

[rain basalt]

I used an existing sheet but for some reason the animations didn’t transfer

[lucid iron]

set SMAPI_USE_CURRENT_SHELL

[rain basalt]

All the other things like dirt water passable transferred

[lucid iron]

i do this always because i never figured out how to get smapi to use something other than xterm

[half tangle]

where do I set that?

[lucid iron]

env var

[ivory plume]

(You can use --prefer-terminal-name to use something than xterm.)

[lucid iron]

unsure how u do it on windows though

[half tangle]

I'm on Linux

[lucid iron]

then just do export SMAPI_USE_CURRENT_SHELL=true

[ivory plume]

(Content Patcher 2.4.2 is now released with fixed CustomLocations support.)

[half tangle]

frustratingly I cannot get any of this to work... of all days...

[tiny zealot]

if you can say, why is x-terminal-emulator so far down the list? i would expect it early, since it is likely to map to the user's preferred terminal already

[lucid iron]

i think i did try this, but i dont seem to have way to pass in argument directly for mysterious reasons

it would work if i use SMAPI_PREFER_TERMINAL_NAME, but at that point SMAPI_USE_CURRENT_SHELL is more convienant anyways

[half tangle]

this didn't change anything that I can see... same terminal

[lucid iron]

r u running StardewModdingAPI or "Stardew Valley" (which is a bash script after smapi install)

[ivory plume]

I think Steam might have its own internal Linux terminal, which that might be?

[half tangle]

I'm running through steam so I assume "Stardew Valley"

[tiny zealot]

ah, okay i can see that causing problems. thanks

[lucid iron]

oh yes the SMAPI_USE_CURRENT_SHELL thing is only applicable if u run from a existing shell

try SMAPI_PREFER_TERMINAL_NAME instead then

give it whatever term emulator name u have

[calm nebula]

Or put it in your bashrc

[lucid iron]

konsole for kde

[calm nebula]

Or something

Real men put it in the system bashrc

[lucid iron]

getting the env into steam's launching is always a lil funky

[tiny zealot]

real sloth technique here

[half tangle]

throws computer out the window

[woeful lintel]

*out the linux

[lucid iron]

what if u do SMAPI_USE_CURRENT_SHELL=true "path/to/StardewValley" from a shell then

w/e terminal u like

[half tangle]

I'm currently reinstalling Steam...

...and Stardew

why is Steam telling me that a "compatibility tool failed" when Stardew runs natively on Linux... nothing makes sense, everything is a lie

[lucid iron]

did u have proton checked

[half tangle]

yeah

[manic shoal]

Does anyone know whether the Farmer Portraits for 1.6 reactions are coded to use the alias ($h for happy, $u for unique, etc) or the actual number IDs ($0 for the top left, $1 for top right, etc.)?
It's a little confusing because the reaction template uses numbers in the example custom reaction, but the specific example uses the number "3" for Krobus' angry expression (his angry expression is $5). The numbers in the template seem to just correspond to the order they put the farmer portraits in, nothing else.
Honestly, I think the code must be using the aliases, but I'm hoping I'm wrong. I want to make it so I can have the farmer react according to the numerical ID not according to the alias, because the alias doesn't always match up as you'd expect, even with canon characters, much less with added characters.

[half tangle]

no????

[lucid iron]

gotta uncheck

[half tangle]

it unchecked

itself

[lucid iron]

mystery

[half tangle]

it has always been checked.. I have been playing for years and developing for months

[lucid iron]

it just means u played windows version of sdv this whole time i guess

[half tangle]

(I am not annoyed at anyone here, to be clear... just not a fun thing to do right now)

[lucid iron]

do you know where the unofficial update's source code is

[manic shoal]

Yes, assuming we're both referring to the source code that's linked from the Nexus page- Aedenthorn's version now run by MistySpring. However I've only done Content Patcher type modding and don't really know C#. Do you have any advice for finding the information in the source code?

[lucid iron]

Should be this then https://github.com/misty-spring/AedenthornMods/tree/master/FarmerPortraits

I suspect it just uses numbers, didn't see any particular code about alias

You can probably find out faster if you just try in game

[manic shoal]

Yep, that's what I was looking at too. I appreciate you looking through it for me. 🙂
I had been using it in in game, but that's what confused me because I kept running into instances where my farmer's reaction portrait didn't seem to match with what I'd expect from the NPC's portrait. I think I'll just have to start taking screenshots of every time that happens and compare them with the character's portrait sheet to figure it out for sure. Thanks!

[wide lake]

What's changed to make this fail?

Texture2D originalTexture = Game1.content.Load<Texture2D>("Maps\\TownIndoors");

[uncut viper]

that was removed in 1.6.9, that sheet

[brittle pasture]

part of the Purge of the unworthy (aka tile sheets unused by the game)

[brave fable]

why were you using TownIndoors?

[wide lake]

Would be nice for that to be mentioned on [[Modding:Migrate_to_Stardew_Valley_1.6.9]]

[empty radish]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Migrate_to_Stardew_Valley_1.6.9

[wide lake]

To avoid having to make my own icon for a checklist

[brittle pasture]

I'm 78% sure there is a duplicate checklist icon somewhere in cursors

[brave fable]

i'm sorry i don't make the rules

[velvet narwhal]

i could've sworn it was in the changelogs somewhere but i could also be hallucinating it and just saw the removal when pathos dropped it here

[uncut viper]

it just says "Removed unused assets and translations"

[brave fable]

i think the list of removed files was only sent in here, but someone with the git diff could edit the migration page to include a more comprehensive list

[velvet narwhal]

yeah that's fair

day 3 of still not figuring out why i can't repro this problem

[brittle pasture]

this might be it

[ivory plume]

I didn't realize people were actually using the ancient leftover sprites. I guess I'll document an XNB impact section for 1.6.9 tonight.

[brave fable]

i suppose even windows 98 still has a market share

[uncut viper]

tbh with how long theyve been there im actually surprised theyre not used more

[wide lake]

I probably should have quit using it once I made made my own icon rather than keeping the janky looking thing just to avoid disturbing any users who had gotten used to the ugly ToDew Mobile Phone icon.

[brave fable]

8 years...

[brittle pasture]

Hyrum's Law strikes again

[teal bridge]

...as far as we know.

[brave fable]

ah, that's probably from the last sentence: some tilesets have tile properties/animations that others don't, even on the same image. for example, Mountain and Forest have different properties/animations on water's edge sprites, where Mountain sets them only on dark-dirt tiles, and Forest sets them only on light-dirt tiles

[velvet narwhal]

honestly it might be a shock to the other language users though i still don't know if even they use it

[brave fable]

you likely exported them from the 'wrong' map

[rain basalt]

lol probably I have so many maps I should just make a master export for my project

[ivory plume]

The deleted assets are now documented. I'll document the other asset changes once the dust settles a bit; that'll take longer since there's a lot of content changes in 1.6.9.

[calm nebula]

how dusty is it?

[ivory plume]

Very dusty, but much less so than 1.6 was. I think things should start settling within a few days, particularly once the main framework mods get updated.

[velvet narwhal]

(afaik from logo's list the dust is pretty a-ok, i don't know of the visual bugs but the smapi log is relatively ok)

[half tangle]

huh, I missed that SMAPI is up to 4.1.4 now

[teal bridge]

There's an Old Spice meme in here somewhere.

[brave fable]

1.6.8 1.6.10

[ivory plume]

The upcoming SMAPI 4.1.5 will mark these mods incompatible:

• Json Assets ≤ 1.1.18
• Swim (FlyingTNT) ≤ 1.6.4
• TMXL Map Toolkit ≤ 1.24.3-alpha.20240226

Have any other mods being causing load crashes or similar?

[calm nebula]

Stf (same reason as JA iirc)

Happy Home Designer too (but the version currently on Nexus works) (so versions before but not including 2.2.0)

[brittle pasture]

might be another case here, not sure though: #1303578806354710599 message

[calm nebula]

Uh. Birb mod (forgot name, forgot versions)

[velvet narwhal]

Ornithologist Guild..... uhhhhh
1.9.2

[rain basalt]

My bare minimum mod building set of mods are just fine no crashes or red text to report till I forget a comma again

[devout otter]

It's not crashing the game, but "Heart Event Helper" completely removes any dialogue option in 1.6.9, making users unable to progress through mandatory dialogue options like during the Egg and Ice festivals.

[ivory plume]

Yeah, I think that's serious enough to mark it incompatible.

[faint ingot]

I have a question (or maybe a bug report?) about modding special orders... this is the section of my code: "Objectives": [ { "Type": "Collect", "Text": "{{i18n:SpecialOrders.FineMead_CollectText}}", "RequiredCount": "6", "Data": { "AcceptedContextTags": "item_mead, quality_iridium", } }, { "Type": "Deliver", "Text": "{{i18n:SpecialOrders.FineMead_DeliverText}}", "RequiredCount": "1", "Data": { "AcceptedContextTags": "item_mead, quality_iridium", "TargetName": "Shannon" } }, { "Type": "Donate", "Text": "{{i18n:SpecialOrders.FineMead_DonateText}}", "RequiredCount": "5", "Data": { "DropBox": "PierreBox", "DropBoxGameLocation": "SeedShop", "DropBoxIndicatorLocation": "18.5 27", "AcceptedContextTags": "item_mead, quality_iridium" } } ],

The "deliver" and "donate" sections work fine, however collecting the iridium mead from casks does not trigger the collect objective

[brittle pasture]

are the mead being added into a stack or a fresh item slot

[faint ingot]

I tried creating them with the debug item, when that didn't work I created the honey with debug item and then got the mead out of kegs

same result

[brittle pasture]

and you cleared your inventory beforehand?

I have heard reports of machine special orders being rather finnicky before.

[faint ingot]

yes there was no mead in my inventory before

just tried it where I wait for the honey out of beehives, then keg, then cask, still doesn't fulfill the collect requirement. The only weird thing I'm doing is using fairy dust to accelerate the cask, but that's kind of what I expect people to do or it is hard to complete in time.

worst case I can just drop the collect requirement, it's not like many people are going to be hoarding mead

[shut bane]

I have a Harmony question: I manage the Farming Tools Patch on nexus, and it currently conflicts with Chargeable Resource Tools. I use a Harmony Postfix, and the other mod uses a Harmony PatchAll. Does anyone know off the top of their head if I can do anything to mine to make the two mods coexist?

[uncut viper]

patchall just runs all the patches it finds in your mod based on the parameters you set, its not a kind of patch

a postfix will always run after the original function even if another mod patches it

you'd have to look at what their actual patch is doing and whether its a prefix or if theyre circumventing whatever function it is completely or what

[velvet narwhal]

https://github.com/daleao/sdv/tree/main/Chargeable/Framework/Patchers
looks like prefix skips on... axe, pickaxe

[shut bane]

I'm not great at working with code, but I see prefix and postfix in that folder, in the ...beginusing... and ...dofunction... .cs files, respectively

[uncut viper]

if its a prefix that returns false then the original function its patching just will not run. so if you want to make it compatible you'd need to just make sure your code still works in a postfix even if the original doesnt happen

the exact nature of making it compatible is entirely dependent on you, your mod, their mod, and what the expected functionality of both mods is

there is no magic "make them coexist" function to make the patches work together if they currently dont

[shut bane]

Drat. I was kind of hoping I could just use a different Harmony method lol. I guess this is an opportunity to learn more coding.

[inner harbor]

I hope the disused (in vanila) tracks were not removed.

[velvet narwhal]

was it it's own tilesheet?

[inner harbor]

no the music!

[velvet narwhal]

oH music

i thought you meant traintracks or something

[inner harbor]

Sappypiano, Starshoot, archaeo. I love them (and use them all)

[uncut viper]

pathos added all the deleted ones to the migration mage and its just tilesheets and such

mage? page

[inner harbor]

yeh the only one of those I've even looked at was the Wizard one

[velvet narwhal]

yeah it's just tilesheets

[inner harbor]

I got perplexed at farmhousetiles then realized there is also FarmHouse_Tiles which was the one I have used.

[uncut viper]

that perplexement is probably for the same reason why they flew under the radar so long

[hallow prism]

i'm afraid the reason it doesn't work is because technically you already obtained those mead before they got iridium quality

they arent new item per se, they are old items with new quality

so i don't believe it's a bug, and i'm not sure there's a good workaround

you CAN ask to just collect no quality mead, but then it'll be not the same than the one you age since aging takes time

[velvet narwhal]

in my quest to find all of the weird tilesheets i reported that one

i think i've mistakenly used it once and went "nah, yeet that"

[fast urchin]

Friends, I want to add in-game minigames to my own festival, but I don't know exactly how to do it. Please forgive me, I am new to mod development.

[hard fern]

😔 how do people actually manage to finish making npc mods...

[uncut viper]

(tbf, i think ive seen more people in this channel start them than finish them...)

[hard fern]

real

[brave fable]

everyone starts with the fun part they're good at, and then eventually they hit the hard part they'd rather ignore forever

[hard fern]

events

[uncut viper]

maps

[brave fable]

interesting content worth justifying having made the characters and maps other than pure self-indulgence

[hard fern]

honestly the part im dreading is sprites 😭 specifically animations

this is why my npc still is abby XD

[brave fable]

oh yeah those suck ass. you don't have to make more than one though really

[brave fable]

hi friend, it's hard to give advice on making minigames in sdv since it's basically pure c# with however much artwork you care to add

the only advice you can really give is look at classes inheriting IMinigame to get the basic workflow down, and from there it's purely on you to make something interesting and amusing

[fast urchin]

Thank you. The problem I am currently encountering is that after ending the mini-game, my character disappears directly, resulting in the inability to perform any operations.

[hard fern]

😔 i cut down my npc's dialogue by a good bit why is life so hard

[brave fable]

maybe check out FishingGame.cs:unload() and call the same methods?

it makes a point of resetting player control on minigame unloaded

[fast urchin]

thank you for your help!!!

[silk flicker]

Mods are made in C# right ?

[vernal crest]

Some mods are. Many others are made with Content Patcher (using JSON)

[silk flicker]

What's Content Patcher ?

[vernal crest]

It's a mod that allows people to create content packs to change the game's data without having to edit XNBs. https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1915

[silk flicker]

Making mods without knowing how to code ?

[vernal crest]

Yup

[silk flicker]

So most of people use that i reckon

[vernal crest]

Nearly half of all mods for Stardew are using Content Patcher

[silk flicker]

What do you use ?

I have so much time to kill during the next 5 months so I might learn C#

[vernal crest]

The barrier for entry is a lot lower and even people who know how to program often use CP as well for the data side of their mods (if they have any).

I primarily use Content Patcher but am also learning C# to add C# components to my mods

[silk flicker]

Okay that's cool

And how do you find inspiration to make mods ?

[vernal crest]

People do it lots of different ways. I personally make things that I want to play with in the game (so mostly NPC-related stuff) but also if someone else is talking about a fun idea in here I might also get involved.

!modideas Some people look at the ideas list on Github

[ocean sail]

If you have a mod idea that you aren't planning to make yourself, you can put it in the mod ideas github: https://github.com/StardewModders/mod-ideas

However, this does not mean anyone is guaranteed to work on your idea—modders who are looking for ideas sometimes go through and work on what they find interesting off this list. If you want to pay someone to make your mod idea, there are a few people who do commissions (mostly art, sometimes code); you can ask around, search usernames for the word comms, or see !commissions.

To use this command, type !modideas.

[silk flicker]

Thanks for sharing !

[vernal crest]

!startmodding You're welcome :) Here are some places to look for resources to help you start modding.

[ocean sail]

Making mods can be broadly divided into two categories:

• Content packs are formatted text files, and don't need any programming knowledge. They can add/edit NPCs, maps, new items, shops, and more. To get started, see the list of framework mods, the wiki tutorial for Content Patcher, and there might be relevant guides on the tutorial wiki.
• C# mods use programming code to change fundamental game mechanics. See getting started with C# modding.

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

To use this command, type !startmodding.

[woeful lintel]

that's going to require a lot of C# code

oh god, I wasn't at the bottom of the conversation, sorry for the ping

[silk flicker]

For example, the mod to see the amount of completion of a skill level, is CP or C# ?

[vernal crest]

C#, I'd say

[silk flicker]

Oky

[proud wyvern]

funnily enough that's a hard thing to do in a way that makes it compatible with potential mods that change the required XP

skill level ups are coded very weirdly

[hard fern]

i hate harvey's schedule so much

[vernal crest]

Why?

[hard fern]

😭 for so long i was trying to figure out "where the hell does this man keep going when i need him"

[vernal crest]

Like you were in game and didn't know where he was?

[hard fern]

yeah

welp now i can stalk him- imean

locate him

[vernal crest]

The mod Schedule Viewer and debug command debug whereis Harvey would've both been helpful for that

Also debug wtc Harvey to just warp right to him

[hard fern]

😔 i forget debug commands existed ngl

im a lil rusty

[vernal crest]

I can't imagine doing mod dev without them

Almost all of my testing in game is primarily just using debug commands while my farmer stays in bed in the farmhouse

[fast urchin]

So do I

[hard fern]

🙃 Paragraph worth of mattress discussion in my summer dialogue. fun

[woeful lintel]

If I ever make a custom NPC, they'll be a dev and all their dialogue will have them rubber-ducking on the player. The dialogue options will have abolutely no effect on friendship because they're too focused to listen to the answer anyway.

[fast urchin]

How can I make the map added using CP call my C# code?

[zenith robin]

what are you trying to do with the map that it needs to call C#?

[fast urchin]

When you right-click a tile on the map, you can open a dialog box, and when you answer yes, you can play my mini-game.

[calm nebula]

(Yep, not helped by people trying to change the level up numbers instead of just the level up amounts and tracking the remainder separate.)

[calm nebula]

See GameLocation.RegisterTileAction

[rancid temple]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Maps#Custom_Actions

[fast urchin]

Thanks

[acoustic summit]

FYI, register tile action does totally work, you shouldnt need a custom action since there is a built in action to support dialogue boxes. You should also be able to do this VIA the map file itself and tile properties though

AKA no c# required, but yeah!

[lucid iron]

But they want to launch a minigame, presumably written in C# already

[acoustic summit]

oh

[fast urchin]

That's right

[acoustic summit]

I am silly

My apologies

[rancid temple]

Can you even create a question dialogue box like that with just trigger actions? I'm not seeing one for it

[acoustic summit]

I somehow missed that end part

[fast urchin]

It's okay, thank you for helping me

[rain basalt]

I’m working on a project and while working on this project I’m learning and as I’m learning I’m getting more ideas … for other projects … and now I have 3 notebooks full of ideas I wana do …. But not the time to push them out

[vernal crest]

There's no rush, is there?

[rain basalt]

My mind says no rush my heart says must do it all

[hard fern]

😔 i get it

<- hasnt finished npc, already getting ideas for more

[tiny zealot]

having too many projects is definitely a mood

[vernal crest]

Yeahhh

It has been so long since I have used my desktop folder I don't even know where it is

Users seems right

[shut grove]

I'm wanting to add a small path near the Wizard's tower and a basement to the Museum, but don't know how patch files work.

I know how to use tiled and such, I just don't know how map patches work since I don't think I need to edit the entire vanilla maps.

plus I'd like my path in cindersap to be compatable with SDV Expanded

[vernal crest]

You will need to edit the vanilla maps in order to add ways to get from the vanilla maps to your maps

Unless you wanted to use Bus Locations, Train Station, a warp toem etc

Taking the bus to the museum basement would be amusing

[shut grove]

so, this kind of edit does need to be on the actual map

[vernal crest]

Yes you need to write an EditMap code block to patch Maps/Forest with your map at that specific place on the forest map

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/action-editmap.md

In fact I have a mod that patches almost that exact spot (we would definitely conflict lol) so I can show you what I have

[shut grove]

when I say edit the vanilla map, I meant in tiled

[vernal crest]

Oh no

[shut grove]

because right now I have the entire forest map loaded in tiled

that's how new to making map edits i am

[vernal crest]

You open the vanilla forest map to make your patch, limiting your map's size to as small as possible, and then you use CP to patch it over the forest map in the game files

I will show you my .tmx file for mine

If you see the bush at the bottom of your image - that's the bush that's at the top of mine

So that's my entire map

[shut grove]

ah

[vernal crest]

16 x 12 tiles

[shut grove]

your path is just below the bush and mine is just above it lol

[vernal crest]

Yep lol

Don't stress about it, you can never avoid conflict with someone

It's just amusing that in this case it happens to be the person helping you lol

[rain basalt]

There’s a couple ways one is target area patching or overlay patching or replacing whole map with another map

[vernal crest]

Absolutely do not replace an entire vanilla map with your own map unless you hate everyone

[shut grove]

I'm making a witchy grove, so the entrance being near rasmodius made sense to me

[rain basalt]

Target is best way replacement is easiest

[vernal crest]

Yup that definitely makes sense!

[shut grove]

or are SVE

[devout otter]

(Bear in mind that your entrance is exactly where the path to Lunna's place is, if you care about mod compatibility.)

[shut grove]

Lunna's place?

[vernal crest]

(Which of us, Dolphin?)

[rain basalt]

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/action-editmap.md

[long jungle]

Just a question, as I cannot find any information anywhere else...

Regarding Weapon Stats, what are the current effects of

Precision

and

AreaOfEffect

and are they applied in any way to the current vanilla game?

[rain basalt]

Read through that will help you pick best method for you

[vernal crest]

I already gave them that info

[devout otter]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/6626

[devout otter]

Oh, talking to Akari.

[shut grove]

that's kinda funny, one of the npcs I'm adding is named Luna lol

[rain basalt]

I’m on mobile I have a bar so guess I’m missing messages

[shut grove]

I plan to add a witch, slime rancher, and fisherman

I'm also looking to make new pet types

I have a better grasp of that right now though

[vernal crest]

Did you want to see my json for patching that part of the forest?

[shut grove]

sure

I was also looking at other mods that patch areas, like lumisteria which modifies the museum. if I leave tiles totally empty in my map, will it leave them unedited?

[vernal crest]

        // Edit Forest map to add National Park entrance - LITE version
        {
            "LogName": "Edit National Park entry into Forest - Lite",
            "Action": "EditMap",
            "Target": "Maps/Forest",
            "FromFile": "assets/maps/Aba_Forest_Lite.tmx",
            "PatchMode": "Replace",
            "FromArea": {
                "X": 0,
                "Y": 0,
                "Width": 15,
                "Height": 11
            },
            "ToArea": {
                "X": 0,
                "Y": 41,
                "Width": 15,
                "Height": 11
            },
            "AddWarps": [
                "-1 48 {{ModID}}_NationalPark 59 31",
                "-1 49 {{ModID}}_NationalPark 59 31"
            ]
        },

[vernal crest]

As long as you don't change the PatchMode to replace like I did, it should do

I set mine to replace because I was having issues with vanilla tiles bleeding through but I think that was just because I didn't realise that some tiles are only visible in some seasons (grr summer bushes) so I had a bunch of invisible tiles in some seasons and then random bushes in my cliffs in other seasons lol

So I will go back and probably change mine back to overlay later

The less intrusive you can make your map patch, the better for mod compat

[mighty ginkgo]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Items#Stats there's some info on them (the Precision stat effect was dependent on some monster stat that wasn't used by any vanilla monster iirc. not sure how it works)

[acoustic summit]

Percision and miss % are inverse

[rain basalt]

Yah overlay checks layer by layer and only replaces changed tiles so to stop bleed through add a blank tile to a layer to have it removed

[shut grove]

yea, for my museum basement idea, I might make a conditional patch like I saw another mod do to move my basement further down if people have Visit Mt Vapius

[acoustic summit]

No vanilla monsters have a dodge chance, so percision dosnt do anything

[shut grove]

to make sure I understand properly "FromArea" is in the map I make and "ToArea" is where the top left corner of the map will be placed?

[final arch]

Am I misunderstanding CP Tokens?
how can GenderNeutralRSV be unready when its defined like this:

        {
            "Name": "GenderNeutralRSV",
            "Value": "",
        },
        {
            "Name": "GenderNeutralRSV",
            "Value": ".GN",
            "When": { "HasMod |contains=Hana.GNMTokens": true }
        },```

ok somethings hella fishy 🤔

[vernal crest]

I think you have to specify that the token is from your mod

[final arch]

are CP Tokens broken?

[vernal crest]

In the patch parse

[final arch]

mhhh oh maybe

[tiny zealot]

yeah i think for dynamic tokens you have to give your mod id

[vernal crest]

From CP page: patch parse "assets/{{Variant}}.{{Language}}.png" "Pathoschild.ExampleContentPack"

No that's not how you do it

[final arch]

ah nvm :p

yeah forgot mod author

[vernal crest]

Don't worry I ran into the same issue when I started using patch parse and it took quite a while before I could figure it out

[shut grove]

just double checking the advice from the wiki, for mod id stuff that uses numbers, I should use my Nexus mod page number followed by ###? so like 12345###?

[vernal crest]

I still usually have to give it a few goes before I can get a patch parse command working properly but it's so handy once I've got it down

[final arch]

no wait Im still confused

[vernal crest]

Almost everything is a string now, so use {{ModID}} which is a Content Patcher token that will be replaced with whatever your mod's UniqueId is from your manifest.

The only ID I remember still requiring numeric is for secret notes

Which is why everyone should use ichor's secret note framework for doing secret notes (plus all the nifty features he adds)

[devout otter]

Sorta related question. Is heavy use of dynamic token taxing for game process? I'm at 35 now - 15 of them with random values - and am getting worried.

[vernal crest]

I can't remember RSV's mod id so pretend this is the correct one. patch parse "{{GenderNeutralRSV}}" "RSV.ID" Does this work?

[final arch]

yeah figured it out 👍

ty :3

the ID/Token is apparently only for C# tokens

[tiny zealot]

like aba said, you should use unique string ids (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Common_data_field_types#Unique_string_ID) wherever possible instead of numeric prefixing

[vernal crest]

Could you give me the link to the page where you read about using the Nexus ID? I should amend it so it doesn't mislead other new people.

[shut grove]

I can't remember sorry, I've looked through so many other pages since then

[vernal crest]

That's fine I'll add it to my to do list and go cruising later

[shut grove]

I just remember it mentioned using nexus page number or equivilent modding site's page number

I assume I do at least put my nexus page number for the update keys?

[vernal crest]

Yes that used to be the advice before 1.6 changed to string IDs

Yes that's correct and the wiki has a page on how to do that

Don't publish your mod page just to get the Nexus ID though

You can make a page and leave it as a draft

[shut grove]

I know, that part was in the bad advice lol

[vernal crest]

Here we go https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/APIs/Update_checks

Oh man I did not realise we had a page of advice for releasing as well. I wish I had known that before releasing two mods lol

[frozen elm]

How problematic is it to change collision and entry position when making a farmhouse building skin? I know the spouse stands to the right of the door and there's the lumber pile position to get the card, but is there something else I am not aware of?

[long jungle]

Thanks. Yeah, saw that page.

I guess Precision is an unused stat after all as I don't see "Miss" attacks in Vanilla. (except for Mummy monsters in downed form I guess?)

[long jungle]

I just experimented with AreaOfEffect and it seems that it does somehow increase the attack range of a weapon/tool.

[rancid temple]

Do we?

[eternal mortar]

is smapi working yet? i need to test my map lol, ik it was down or something yesterday.

[rancid temple]

It had a rough update but it should be working fine now, just make sure you're all up to date

[eternal mortar]

kk do i need to go update it?

[rancid temple]

Probably, it's on 4.1.4 now

[eternal mortar]

ok, im just gonna confirm, updating is the same as installing it, right?

[lucid iron]

Yeah

[rancid temple]

For SMAPI yes

[eternal mortar]

alright thank you

[vernal crest]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/Release

[rancid temple]

This template sure would have been handy when I was trying to figure out how my stupid page layout should look lmao

[balmy flare]

@lilac niche hi, update tmx pls!

[whole raptor]

Please stop pinging authors for updates... also TMXL is mostly obsolete..

[cedar turtle]

Please be patient about mod updates.
Mod authors also work and have lifes.

That aside, some mods just are dead as nomori pointed out

[iron ridge]

!converters

[rancid temple]

Platonymous is indefinitely out of country isn't he?

[ocean sail]

A lot of converter tools have been made by helpful members of the community to update outdated mods or convert existing mods to modern or alternative frameworks, and for 1.6. Here's a list:

To use this command, type !converters.

[tiny zealot]

last i heard

[rancid temple]

If any of his mods die, they're probably staying that way because I don't know anyone who wants to pick up that heat lmao

It attracts such lovely people after all

[tiny zealot]

i would not want to be responsible for reviving TMXL

[whole raptor]

Would there even be a reason to?

[iron ridge]

lua

that's it

[tiny zealot]

the only one i can think of is to support equally ancient NPC mods who depend on it and can't be updated

[drowsy lake]

Hello
Sorry to bother- wanted to ask
currently using EvenBetterArtisanGoodIcons and i see that there are 6 types of honey
I also downloaded a mod called Quaint Living Flower Garden 2 which adds a bunch of flowers.

Currently the new flowers are making honey, but the icons will always be "ild flower" types, even if the game says it's a different honey (I.E: lavander honey)

If i want EBAGI to be applied to the new honeys with a brand new icon just for them- should i add the new honey types icons to the little honey.png in the ebagi folder in ebagi assets and then add the corresponding flower type name in the data.json of ebagi?

[whole raptor]

Ah, forgot about that tiny part of modding 😅 The only mod I know that uses it is the All Might one iirc

[shut grove]

the id thing might have been on the event data page, because I found where I used it in my mod

the one saying to use the nexus mod page number

[tiny zealot]

but even in this case i would try to turn it into a shim rather than preserve how it works

[lucid iron]

I feel like real old npc mods have slew of other problems and fixing tmxl won't fix any of that

[tiny zealot]

oh yeah, there it is. that one still needs to be merged from the migration page. thanks

[tiny zealot]

oh yeah i'm definitely not doing this, lol

[lucid iron]

I don't really know how wide spread lua tile actions are

[shut grove]

I was looking up my event's id so I could make a conditional door that checks for it

that's how I found it

[lucid iron]

Esp cus u can just register custom tile actions (with C#)

[shut grove]

idk C#, so I made a bunch of "tile data" objects

[lucid iron]

Sorry I was discussing tmxl not your mod

[shut grove]

ah

[lucid iron]

I do like the idea of tmx buildables though

[shut grove]

just to check, if I place tile data with this in it as a "TouchAction" property, then it should block the player until they see the event? "TouchAction ConditionalDoor PLAYER_HAS_SEEN_EVENT Any {{ModID}}_LunaIntro"

and then I place another tile data in a layer under it with the text displayed for the conditional door?

or do I put a property unde the current property?

[rancid temple]

This is for a tile you walk onto?

[shut grove]

yea

I want it to tell the player the path is covered in brambles so it can't be passed

until they see an event

[rancid temple]

Assuming it's on the Back layer you can simply place another property on that data

I don't think I finished adding the Back version of that to the maps page

I was waiting for 1.6.9 since Pathos had to fix that

[shut grove]

and do I need "touchaction" in the property itself, or just as the proerty name?

[rancid temple]

Maps/AdventureGuild actually has an example of it in use

It has both an Action ConditionalDoor on the Buildings layer and TouchAction ConditionalDoor on the Back layer with LockedDoorMessages on both, so you can see how it works

The property name or key for the ConditionalDoor is TouchAction in this case, but for the message that's displayed it's LockedDoorMessage

[whole raptor]

Did we have TerrainFeatures/BuffsIcons asset in previous versions..? Like pre 1.6

[final arch]

#making-mods-general message yes

[whole raptor]

Oh so it was just deleted, I was confused why original Vintage v2 touched that

Is smapi gonna throw errors now that older mods are trying to edit a non-existing asset or is that somehow handled by smapi?

[shut grove]

I forget, can the player walk under these tiles?

[rancid temple]

I feel like most likely errors, I don't even know if there's used variants for all the ones that were removed

[shut grove]

the cliff top tiles

[rancid temple]

Sometimes, depends on where it is

[rain basalt]

Only if there not touch actions

[rancid temple]

And how it's been placed

[rain basalt]

O cliff tiles yes if there back and don’t have passable f

Building later by default is not passable

[rancid temple]

Passable doesn't actually care what you put where the T or F is

It needs a value to exist but you can put anything and it's never used

It's just the existence of Passable that matters

[shut grove]

so, to make impassible spots, put it on the building layer

[rancid temple]

Also, Front or AlwaysFront, also don't have collision and they render in front of things, usually

You can make Back tiles impassable by putting Passable X tile data on that tile as well

Maybe I shouldn't say X tile lmao, seems too close to xTile

[rain basalt]

Yah I do that with some water tiles so you can’t walk off the bridge into water

[shut grove]

I just copied some of my back tiles to the building layer

[rancid temple]

Yeah, usually it would only matter for like water since I don't think you can fish on Buildings tiles

[rain basalt]

Got a strange map question can I use the same map and load it in under multiple names to cause different references?

[shut grove]

good to know since I'll need to deal with that when I make my first full map

[rancid temple]

You can Load one file to as many Targets as you want

[rain basalt]

K and it renames them based on load info I’m guessing

[tiny zealot]

alright, somebody else can edit the event data wiki page. i tried to follow the directions to do it right and got spamblocked

[shut grove]

for adding new "off map" warps, do I need to put them on the vanilla map I'm patching, or can I put it on the Patch itself?

[rancid temple]

Target is the name of the asset you are creating, essentially

Unless you Target an existing asset, in which case you are overwriting it

[rain basalt]

Kk

Me personally I’d patch directly to vanilla map warp properties

[rancid temple]

For warps that aren't in the regular map area, you should use AddWarps, one second

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/action-editmap.md#edit-map-properties

Otherwise, if you were to try to patch in a TileData where a tile didn't exist it would just silently fail to exist at all

And if you tried to add a tile to the outside of the map it would expand the map

[shut grove]

so I figure out the X, Y that lines up with my patch, and in the map properties thing I do add warp to that area

[whole raptor]

This query should work, right? I don't think I used AND before for mods
"Query: '{{Spiderbuttons.CMCT/Config: ...}}' = 'enabled' AND {{Spiderbuttons.CMCT/Config: ...}}' = 'enabled'": true

[rancid temple]

Yep fromX fromY DestinationLocation toX toY where fromX and Y would be the coordinate just off the map

[final arch]

I swear the custom token is bugged but I cant repro it on smaller examples

[calm nebula]

What's the change needed?

[final arch]

but no idea what Im missing

[calm nebula]

I can probably do it when I'm home

In estimated 8 hrs

[leaden sierra]

Hi guys! I want to start making simple mods, does anyone have a tutorial or something to know where to start?

[calm nebula]

!startmodding

[ocean sail]

Making mods can be broadly divided into two categories:

• Content packs are formatted text files, and don't need any programming knowledge. They can add/edit NPCs, maps, new items, shops, and more. To get started, see the list of framework mods, the wiki tutorial for Content Patcher, and there might be relevant guides on the tutorial wiki.
• C# mods use programming code to change fundamental game mechanics. See getting started with C# modding.

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

To use this command, type !startmodding.

[leaden sierra]

Cool, thanks!

[tiny zealot]

in particular, https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Event_data recommends integer event ids with nexus id prefix.
i was going to update the whole preconditions section but got automodded, so not my problem anymore

[calm nebula]

Coolio!!!!

[whole raptor]

What would I need to look for in the mod's source code when I want to check if an asset used by C# mod can be edited by CP? If it's even that simple

[rancid temple]

AssetRequested is a good place to start

[tiny zealot]

if your SMAPI is in developer mode, you should get visible log messages whenever a mod edits an asset. if you see it there, it has gone through the content pipeline and should be editable

[rancid temple]

That's neat

[lucid iron]

u can also check ur own log file

i find that easier personally, esp with log parser

[tiny zealot]

(i believe they appear in the raw log anyway, but developer mode shows them in the active terminal)

[whole raptor]

Oh, it's definitely good to know

[whole raptor]

Okay, so out of the mods I need to edit only GMCM allows editable buttons, at least something
FS, I believed in you

[old edge]

Hello I managed to create my own bus stop logic. But it's set to left mouse click on the ticket machine at the bus. I guess normally you right click?

[rancid temple]

Yeah, generally right click is interact

[old edge]

Hmm how do I make it occur with the action button or right mouse click? Also preferably after the main dialogue of taking thr bus to calico desert

[hexed siren]

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but is ${male^female^neutral}$ no longer working as of 1.6.9? It's only showing male for me now. I know the neutral never worked, but it never hurt anything either so maybe I need to remove that now? I'll add a token if I have to but would rather avoid the work if this is already a known bug and getting fixed.

[tiny zealot]

oh no

i hope it's getting fixed. +1 from me

[hexed siren]

Yeah it's a hefty fix to switch to tokens in my mods since they're all dialogue-based.

[lucid iron]

You needed a mod to enable neutral I believe

[tiny zealot]

gotta decompile 1.6.11 real fast to check the latest, one minute (relevant code looks identical between 1.6.8 and 1.6.10)

[lucid iron]

Since there's no way to make farmer have neutral gender

Wait we r on 1.6.11 already

[hard fern]

Ye

[tiny zealot]

chu before you update can you see if they work in 1.6.10 sorry i shouldn't have asked

[lucid iron]

it is too late anyways i think steam autoupdated

[analog crypt]

Hi - im sorry if someone already asked this here: I created a few mods and since the update I cant sell artisan items anymore. I use Content Patcher for my mods. Anyone knows anything? @ivory plume

[high maple]

Hello! I there a way to make settings that are tied to the farm save you have? Like the farm settings you can change when you make a new save?

[tiny zealot]

1.6.11 also looks identical at Dialogue.applyGenderSwitchBlocks(Gender, string) so maybe something is wacky with accessing Game1.player.Gender?

[next plaza]

Hmm, applyGenderSwitch itself hasn't changed in 9-10 months

[lucid iron]

not through configs atm, in C# you can serialize data to the save file

i think per save configs was brought up at one point, but dont think theres movement on that?

[next plaza]

Out of curiosity, how are you triggering this dialogue?

[rancid musk]

Time to decomp 1.6.11 and see if it fixes any of ILSpy's weirdness~

Update: Nope 😄

[high maple]

ah I see. Thanks!

would I need to do some freaky stuff in C# or is there already classes in place for that?

[hexed siren]

Here's an example line: "vincent.topic.maggwalkingwire": "Sam says you're his ${boyfriend^girlfriend^partner}$ now, so that means you'll play with me more, right?",

[next plaza]

Nothing has changed since 1.6.9 in Dialogue.cs at least, so either it's somewhere else, or it broke earlier than release

[next plaza]

So it's just normal daily NPC dialogue?

[teal bridge]

Not freaky, just standard ReadSaveData/WriteSaveData.

[lucid iron]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/APIs/Data#Save_data

[blissful panther]

Yup, specifiically: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/APIs/Data#Save_data

[lucid iron]

the main thing is that only host has save data

[blissful panther]

Speed.

[lucid iron]

if non host need it u need to send the data

[hexed siren]

Yep and in events, normal dialogue only.

[high maple]

thanks so much!

[high maple]

oh for multiplayer?

[lucid iron]

yea

[calm nebula]

Patch reload your dialogue

Also may I see a patch expoet

[lucid iron]

send message
https://github.com/Mushymato/MachineControlPanel/blob/master/MachineControlPanel/ModEntry.cs#L280-L283
receive message
https://github.com/Mushymato/MachineControlPanel/blob/master/MachineControlPanel/ModEntry.cs#L177

will likely want host to do a send on peer connected too

[calm nebula]

Also run a reload_i18n

[next plaza]

Hmm, does it work if you run the following in the SMAPI console? debug AddDialogue Vincent "Sam says you're his ${boyfriend^girlfriend^partner}$ now, so that means you'll play with me more, right?"

It's working for me on a 4 day old dev version at least

[high maple]

I was just gonna ask how I send and recieve XD. Thanks so much!

[lucid iron]

hm so i tried ilspycmd 9.0.0.7660-preview2 to see if it fix anything

it didnt but i noticed many num.GetValueOrDefault(12) became num ?? 12

[next plaza]

I just updated to latest and that's working fine for me too

[teal bridge]

Has anyone used the "fake content packs" feature? And if so, do they know if the translation strings for those fake content packs get coalesced into the mod's main translation helper or if they have to be looked up individually?

[next plaza]

JA uses it - the feature originally got added because I requested it for easier backwards compatibilty 😅

I would assume that they are only in their own translation helper, like normal content packs

[teal bridge]

Woo hoo, more work for me. Thanks for the background.

[hexed siren]

Narrowed it down a bit, it's working for daily dialogue but not for event dialogue.

[next plaza]

Event dialogue as in the speak Npc "meow" event command?

[hexed siren]

Yep as in speak Demetrius "{{i18n: seb.event.weddingfam.2}}"/pause 300 - the code is there, just not showing in Discord

[next plaza]

Dang it, why does base game not have a debug command for running an event script directly

makes one

[calm nebula]

May I see the patch export

I think I know the issue

[hexed siren]

Sorry, I don't know what you need? I'm kinda not in the whole loop with the lingo. Just tell me how to get it for you and I'll do that.

[final arch]

there is one that runs one from a file iirc xD

[next plaza]

Hmm, I don't see it when looking at references to either Event constructor

Or all the commands starting with Event

Yeah, it's working in events for me too

[final arch]

meant that one

[next plaza]

Hmm, well, I already wrote the command...

[final arch]

(I didnt say it's useful :p)

[next plaza]

Unfortunately you have to escape your quotes because of the command parser

But I guess CP people are doing that anyways

[frozen elm]

Does someone have any input on this?

[hexed siren]

If it helps I can put the dialgue back in the event code and send you the text unless there's a better way to do that.

[next plaza]

What atra is asking is for you to run the following command in the SMAPI console: patch export Data/Events/LocationName (replacing LocationName with the name of the location the event is in), then showing us the resulting file

[calm nebula]

(Sorry, I'm at work. Rain check for six hours?)

[hexed siren]

Yep no problem, I'm back at work now too 🙂

[hexed siren]

Gotcha, I'll grab that.

[tender bloom]

!patchexport command has instructions

[ocean sail]

A patch export makes a copy of specific stuff in your content folder so you can see what changes have been applied.

1. Load up a save (with Content Patcher installed)
2. Type patch export <FILEPATHOFTHING> in the SMAPI console and hit return
3. Look in your patch export folder in the game folder for the relevant json file or image
4. If it's a json file, you can share it via smapi.io/json. If it's an image you should just be able to look at it.

To use this command, type !patchexport.

[hexed siren]

Here's the file, I see it converted the code to the male option event ID maggweddingparents10042024. https://smapi.io/json/none/ceac7b8d94524e9589754241ac50906d

[final arch]

atra you dont happen to have a utility that goes through every NPC and checks for NO TRANSLATIOn entries in their dialogue?

[hallow prism]

patch export?

[final arch]

yes

well no, that'd be unecessary for a C# mod

but similar yes

[hallow prism]

oh, you mean at a larger scale

[final arch]

for RSV yeah

too lazy to patch export 30 NPCs

or whatever we have

[hallow prism]

yeah indeed, i can see why

[final arch]

60 with dialogue, ups

raf shouldve stopped sooner

[rancid musk]

I know this isn't surprising or weird, but ILSpy 9's codegen is so much cleaner than ILSpy 7's.

[final arch]

is ILSpy9 decomp of sdv compilable?

[teal bridge]

lol

That's a good one.

[rancid musk]

I'm going to go ahead and using ILSpy 9 for the decomp repo until and unless Pathos comes and tells me not to. I did ping and ask before. There is a good reason though, since ILSpy 7 is really not doing well with many 1.6.9 changes. It's worth minor changes in output I think.

As an example of ILSpy 9 being better, this is what 7.2 gives: csharp uint realSize = (uint)(msg.m_bitLength = (int)NetBitWriter.ReadUInt32(msg.m_data, 32, numEncryptedBytes * 8)); return true; and this is what 9 gives: csharp uint realSize = NetBitWriter.ReadUInt32(msg.m_data, 32, numEncryptedBytes * 8); msg.m_bitLength = (int)realSize; return true;

Like yeah 7.2 I'm sure the original code has a cast, and then another cast to store a local that is then immediately out of scope because we return

[lucid iron]

what will u do with the mystery get enumerator ref

[final arch]

mhh patching into CP and emitting a warning if a i18n token has no translation would be a possibility too

[hallow prism]

yeah i wouldn't want to spend my evening doing patch export either

[rancid musk]

I'm going to assume that method hasn't actually changed at all and just manually revert it to the pre 1.6.9 version. Might check the compile after to see if it results in the same mess.

[teal bridge]

(isn't that what I suggested the other day?)

[next plaza]

Hmm, this might be a Content Patcher thing, if it's already converted in the patch export

[hexed siren]

I'm thinking so, my current active mods are all having the same issue.

[rancid musk]

Probably, I was just delaying working on the decomp because it's annoying.

[next plaza]

What method? I can check how recently it was modified

[rancid musk]

Netcode.NetDictionary.GetEnumerator

[hexed siren]

And I'm feeling very dumb since I didn't know patch export existed and it could have saved me a million hours of dialogue debugging... ugh!

[next plaza]

Actually, SMAPI bug, 4.1.0 supposedly added support for it in translations, but perhaps it's doing it too early

[next plaza]

Last edited 5 years ago

[rancid musk]

Yeah, so nothing changed lol

Nice

Another random example of ILSpy 9 being better.
7.2: val = (long)((ulong)val >> 32);
9: val >>>= 32;

[teal bridge]

Byrefs be byreffin', what are ya gonna do.

Are there supposed to be three > characters there? What is that?

[rancid musk]

Unsigned right-shift

New as of C# 11.

[teal bridge]

Huh. I didn't realize there was a difference, thought all shifts only depended on the output type.

[rancid musk]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/bitwise-and-shift-operators#unsigned-right-shift-operator-

[teal bridge]

Oh, is val a signed integer type in that function?

[rancid musk]

Yeah.

[teal bridge]

That's a little clearer. Still, I'm doing shifts on int types (e.g. for color conversions) and don't seem to have run into anything... unexpected.

[rancid musk]

Not having double casts everywhere really makes some math heavy functions easier to read.

As long as your numbers aren't negative bitshifts should do exactly what you expect either way.

[teal bridge]

I only ever shift right.

(that sounded weird, but it's factually true)

[next plaza]

@ivory plume It looks like there's a maybe oversight with SMAPI translations using gender switch blocks when used with Content Patcher. I think what's happening is, if a patch has no conditions and resolves before the save loads, the i18n bakes in male as the gender (since that's what the default Game1.player has until a save is created/loaded with it otherwise) and isn't refreshed once the gender changes, since CP doesn't know the patch needs refreshing since it didn't use it the token

[rancid musk]

Okay, my plan.

1. Use ILSpy 9 for everything, but set to C#9
2. Do separate commits for each Stardew version .9, .10, and .11
3. Make that one PR
4. Re-decompile .11 using C#11 and make that a second PR

[lucid iron]

is .11 confirmed to be final patch for a while

[next plaza]

Define a while

Bug fixes are still happening

[rancid musk]

I'm sure it's the next patch for at least 30 minutes

[lucid iron]

a while as in more than 2 months i suppose

so that khloe wont have to do recompilable edits for at least that long

[tender bloom]

I would not assume that

[rancid musk]

It's not a big deal.

There were just a few confusing things really.

[tender bloom]

I have no special knowledge, to be clear

I just have some instinct that there's no way we've already shaken all the bugs out, 2 days after release day

[teal bridge]

This wasn't the Modpocalypse, but it might be the Patchpocalypse.

[whole raptor]

Is there a command for getting ||Farming Mastery||?

[next plaza]

Yeah, I definitely don't think we're waiting 2 months for another patch

[uncut viper]

if not you can always add like a million experience

[teal bridge]

There is for sure no command, just raise the skill.

(and sleep, etc.)

[whole raptor]

Hmm.. is there some other condition for it? Cause it only gave me skill lvl 10 (I have no idea how that mechanic works, since I never played 1.6 😅 )

[rancid musk]

I have been learning that ILSpy 7.2 really likes to just make shit up. For example, there's this function where the 7.2 decompile has csharp long i = 0L; and the 9 decompile has csharp long m = 0L;
I open ILSpy and check it in IL mode. The local's name is m and even 7.2 admits it. But it just... calls it i for some reason.

[next plaza]

I mean, you could increment the relevant stats if you just want points. Though I don't know that you could spend them without having all skills at max

[uncut viper]

probably need to unlock the cave first iirc

so all skills to 10

and then add more exp

[next plaza]

Yeah, I've noticed before that ILSpy sometimes doesn't get local names right

[teal bridge]

It's not automatic, you have to sleep and then go to the cave. (I think you have to sleep, at least)

[rancid musk]

Another good reason to upgrade to ILSpy 9 for the decomp.

[brave fable]

ILSpy with the minor refactoring commits

[whole raptor]

Last question then... where is the cave exactly in the forest? 😅

[deep cypress]

1.6.11? New patch? On the day I started a new contract at a new old hospital and got zero sleep last nite, and work 12 hour shifts like most of the next 8 days! 🤣🤣🤣

[whole raptor]

Nvm, found it

[uncut viper]

(also can confirm now that you do need to be lvl 25 to get any mastery experience at all but i dont think you need to sleep for it since i think your lvl int updates throughout the day if you level up during it anyway)

oh yeah it literally updates it in the same function i was already looking at

[rancid musk]

Oh this is interesting. This float has slightly more precision on ILSpy 7.2 than ILSpy 9.
4.6566128730773926E-10
vs
4.656612873077393E-10

[next plaza]

It's amazing what computers can do these days

[rancid musk]

The fun part is those numbers are identical in the IEEE-754 standard.

[teal bridge]

What an odd decision. "15 significant digits is too much, let's reduce to 14 for usability.".

But as long as it's still correct.

[rancid musk]

Well, that's the only change in that file so I may as well revert it for cleaner changelogs.

[teal bridge]

Fam, we only have one day left with our event roles, right? I don't know if I can go back to Cheeto orange. The mere anticipation is giving me the shakes and cold sweat.

[uncut viper]

i think so

you could ask a mod to remove your orange role

one time only

[brave fable]

i've enjoyed wearing the most frightening costume imaginable. mod author...

oooOOooOo responsibilities and nexus comments

[tender bloom]

nooooo not the purple

anything but the purple

[teal bridge]

I'll miss the red, though. Red is my color.

[brave fable]

beloved purple, come back to me 😌

[uncut viper]

just be like me and bank on them asking for more mod jam helper signups sometime in the future

[teal bridge]

Hmm, they already said there'd be no Christmas event, so that puts it out at least another 6 months. Probably more.

[lucid iron]

Did they have mod jam helpers this time

[teal bridge]

I think costumes are supposed to be frightening to other people, not the person wearing them.

[uncut viper]

iunno, idk how much of the work wouldve been split between the mod jam helpers and the junimos since it wasnt just a modding event

there are still people with the roles, though

[rancid musk]

Huh. This is a bit weird on the part of ILSpy 9. Old: csharp red = SKColorF.HueToRgb(v, num, h + 0.333333343f); vs csharp red = SKColorF.HueToRgb(v, num, h + 1f / 3f);

While the IL just has IL_0059: ldc.r4 0.333333343

[next plaza]

I wish I could be a nice vivid blue

[hard fern]

Hey, i like being orange

[next plaza]

But alas, I am burdened with greatness (1.6 developer role)

[teal bridge]

Orange has its place, just not as an all-day every-day thing.

[next plaza]

(But even without that and mod author, I'd be a Desperado, so...)

[uncut viper]

i wonder if that also would count for the junimo "one time role removal" thing.... it IS a special role...

[hard fern]

What the hell did discord do this time 😭 i just got like a floating notification that someone reacted to my message

[tender bloom]

left blue behind long ago

you can get ghost pings when someone deletes the ping

it leaves the notif but you don't see anything

[hard fern]

No, like there was a whole notification that was at the top of my screen

[next plaza]

But then I wouldn't be immune to slowmode! What a tragedy

[uncut viper]

ive been stopped by slowmode maybe 2 times ever

[lucid iron]

Is it new discord feature and u r part of testing group

[next plaza]

And I'm level 1181, so there's no way I can be blue without a new unique role

[teal bridge]

I don't think I've ever even noticed slowmode. I see the icon, but it's never actually throttled me.

[hard fern]

I forget slowmode exists sometimes

I get bonked by it sometimes

Because i type too fast

[teal bridge]

Step away from the Enter key!

[rancid musk]

Press enter less and slowmode goes away

[uncut viper]

i type fast and like to split my messages into multiple lines too much

[brave fable]

you're allowed to type quickly, just exercise some self-restraint on the enter key

[hard fern]

No i love the enter key

[rancid musk]

Hold
shift
then

[next plaza]

I mean, there's stuff besides slow mode, I just mentioned it because I see the text underneath the chat bar about being immune pretty frequently here

[next plaza]

Then it doesn't have your name next to every message

[uncut viper]

what do you mean other stuff
i thought slow mode immunity was the main benefit of working on 1.6

[teal bridge]

The most important benefit is obviously the red, although it is leaning a little toward pink.

[next plaza]

Though I guess not compact mode sorta merges messages

[uncut viper]

really the most important part is the mouse

[next plaza]

I don't want my icon to be a mouse, I want it to be a cat

[uncut viper]

which i keep thinking is a cat

its a cat if you dont know its supposed to be a mouse

[next plaza]

Sorry ichor, Lacey is a cat now. Button said so

[uncut viper]

Cat Mouse Lacey

[velvet narwhal]

oh am i finally not part of the guinea pig testing group

[high maple]

Im having some trouble detecting if the ginger crop that spawns on ginger island is on a tile. Does the game consider it an object like the artifact spot or a crop? If its a crop I cant find a way to get its value since the dirt under it isnt hoed. If its an object, I cant seem to figure out what Id it has. I dont want the ginger item itself but the crop it comes from.

[lucid iron]

Check the hoe perform action code maybe

[rain basalt]

anything major i should know about 1.6.11 lol

[brave fable]

+1 wood from pine trees 👏

[rain basalt]

omg that will break the balacing what will we do

[lucid iron]

New mod pine tree wood nerf \s

[rain basalt]

lol i was thinking the same thing

ill get to it after the other 9999 ideas i have

[high maple]

I did. But nothing in the method seems to indicate hoeing up things like ginger

[uncut viper]

if it doesnt make a special case for ginger then that means ginger is just a crop (it is just a crop)

you should still be able to just get it from its HoeDirt terrain feature

[teal bridge]

It's hardcoded in Crop.hitWithHoe. Specifically, it needs to be a forageCrop with whichForageCrop == "2".

[rain basalt]

<.< worked on project to 2:00 am i know i did stuff woke up at 6:00 am to go to work got home from work 4:30 pm and i have no clue what i was doing to 2 am any more lol so now i gotta go over all my code and figure out where i left off in my testing

if anyone knows what i did with my brain can you send it back to me

[high maple]

I managed to get it working by looking in terrain features

I tried using this code from the hoe's doFunction and it worked

if (gameLocation.terrainFeatures.TryGetValue(tile, out var terrainFeature))
{
    if (terrainFeature.performToolAction(hoe, 0, tile))
    {
        gameLocation.terrainFeatures.Remove(tile);
    }
}

its weird it does it through that but at least it works

[uncut viper]

won't that just work on everything planted that isn't ginger, too

[lucid iron]

what r u trying to do in particular

[high maple]

magic hoeing spell XD

[rain basalt]

me secret lol

[lucid iron]

should be fine ig

i did implement hoe dirt but never bothered to let u hoe places that have objects on em

[high maple]

testing this spell on trees doesnt hoe the dirt underneath. I think it only works on terrain features that the tool I send is compatible with

[uncut viper]

that's what I meant, some hoeable terrain features might not be ginger, but I said that when I thought you were just looking to affect ginger specifically since that's what brought it up, but if it's just for a hoe spell that seems fine

[high maple]

oh! ok!

[rancid musk]

Work is done for the day, and the decompile is alive. (Granted I need to do .10 and .11 now.)

[lofty ruin]

Is there a fix to making your event fade to black and ending or is this something that happens with every mod?

[brave fable]

does anyone actually want this updated for 1.6.9, or is it redundant with the 1.6 pet changes?
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9448

[sweet sphinx]

I would love that

[teal bridge]

10/10 mod description. What changed in 1.6, though? Those events still happen in vanilla.

[lucid iron]

20 years of modding 2021

some people have asked about way to buy pet from the start

since u need to fill the hearts of your chosen at creation pet first

[sweet sphinx]

oo~ yeah, that would be a nice addition to it

[ivory plume]

That should be fixed in the upcoming Content Patcher 2.4.3. Thanks for reporting it!

[next plaza]

@hexed siren The issue you were having earlier ^

[proud kite]

hi folks im trying to remove a spouse room from a custom npc that has outdated maps / just set it to the default. i removed it frrom the content file and set the dispos to "SpouseRoom": {
"MapAsset": "spouseRooms"
},
but custom NPC is just standing still in the spouse room, anyone have any ideas? im on 1.6.8 legacy!

[faint ingot]

why would the NPC not be standing still? a) all spouses do that, and b) the "default" would make it abigail's room

[fathom hound]

is there a mod that has an exact equivalent of ||meowmere, with the rainbow sparkle effect included||, but for dagger/hammer? if not, how can I reskin textures that include the ||effect|| as well?

icant find one with those

[brittle pasture]

I believe that's hardcoded, so you'd need C# to make an equivalent dagger/hammer

[fathom hound]

i figured.....

guess it would be a good time to learn now

ty!

[proud kite]

before i made the changes he would walk around the different rooms in the house, now he just stands on his spouse tile until its bed time

i just tried updating by removing dispos and putting it into content sheet but hes still not moving

[brittle pasture]

on the bright side it should be a simple postfix on GameLocation.onMonsterKilled

[fathom hound]

omg yay im so excited, my first C# mod

[velvet narwhal]

~harmony crimes~

[fathom hound]

oh

[rancid temple]

I believe spouses either just stand around doing nothing or do actually plod around randomly in the house, assuming they aren't following a schedule that day

[velvet narwhal]

if it's raining they do just sit in the spouseroom the whole dang day iirc

[brittle pasture]

Harmony isn't that scary! Especially not simple postfixes

[velvet narwhal]

i found harmony easier to get into than actual c# mods, but that is my brain and i got handheld

[rancid temple]

Maybe because you're restricted to changing things that exist rather than creating new things

[proud kite]

ive been testing it on a day with a schedule, does that make a difference?

[rancid temple]

Though you can easily add new things with those changes lmao

[latent mauve]

Funnily enough, I didn't think spouses could path beyond the initial house square, but they totally spawn inside my custom bathroom add-on. xD

[uncut viper]

tbh a postfix is basically no real different than just normal C#

[faint ingot]

You maybe removed too much? I'm not an expert but in the mod I'm working on this is the only code I would remove from the disposition if I wanted to walk back the spouse room "SpouseRoom": { "MapAsset": "sdvwarhead.LawAndOrderSV_SpouseRoom", "MapSourceRect": { "X": 0, "Y": 0, "Width": 6, "Height": 9 } },

[rancid temple]

Well, it might matter but not because there's a schedule, if you're testing the same day over and over then you'll never get a different result

[uncut viper]

the only scary part about Harmony is just figuring out how to apply the patch

until you get to transpilers

or reverse patches

[velvet narwhal]

you can just null the MapAsset don't quote the null and you can test and see w/ abigail's room

yep i'm not touching transpilers until i make my own smapi mod

[rancid temple]

Even transpilers aren't that scary, just exhausting lol

[proud kite]

do i still need the "Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Data/SpouseRooms",
"Entries": { in my content file if im not using a spouse room?

[proud kite]

let me try this!

[rancid temple]

I have to have at least 3 different references open just to figure out what I'm doing every time I have to play with my transpilers

[uncut viper]

Data/SpouseRooms doesnt even exist

[velvet narwhal]

there's nothing called data/spouserooms, are you using the new data/character?

[uncut viper]

scarier than normal C# though! since you're not even writing normal C# anymore!

[golden basin]

how wouldi showcase something for my mod?

[proud kite]

im trying to update it to 1.6 but ive been struggling a little let me change this as well

[rancid temple]

Well, if you're using CodeMatcher it's really C# adjacent

[velvet narwhal]

right click post -> apps -> publish

[uncut viper]

sure, if you know IL

that said a decent way to quickstart learning how code you want to write can be translated into IL can be done with dnSpy too

since that will let you just write C# in the function you wanna edit and it'll convert it into IL for you when you go to IL view

[crisp notch]

im trying to use stardewxnbhack but this keeps showing up

I like 12 as a number

It’s nice and divisible

which xnb contains the remixed bundles

[lucid iron]

they r all in the same asset i believe

[uncut viper]

theres Data/RandomBundles

[lucid iron]

wait that one's got completely different format

[uncut viper]

its great isnt it

[crisp notch]

so i get to just change the names and it will still work

[lucid iron]

you need to make a content patcher mod

and edit the asset

[crisp notch]

what if i just try to change the name

[uncut viper]

then you'll break things

[crisp notch]

in just bundles what happens if i try to add more bundles

[whole raptor]

There's a framework for that

[brittle pasture]

it's not the fact you're adding new bundles, it's more that you sounds like you're going to be doing that by editing the XNB instead of making a CP mod

[whole raptor]

!xnbzola

[ocean sail]

XNB mods often break the game and are not recommended. See Modding:Using XNB mods for more info (and a list of Content Patcher alternatives), and you can reset your content files to fix problems caused by XNB mods.

For mod creators, see Modding:Editing XNB mods for help unpacking & editing them (including for use with Content Patcher).

Can I get a second pair of eyes? I'm missing an object member apparently and cannot figure out where

{
"Action": "Load",
"Target": "Mods/{{ModId}}/veggie_pizza",
"FromFile": "assets/objects/veggie_pizza.png"
},

[uncut viper]

what do you mean object member? can you post your full json using the smapi uploader please

!json

[ocean sail]

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

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

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

To use this command, type !json.

[clever sinew]

yes sorry

[uncut viper]

and an error log too if you're getting errors

[rain basalt]

just had a face palm molment lol making a mountain area so coppied mountain location data but left >.> map name in so when i used warp <.< i warped to the mountains

[clever sinew]

Error was in my validator in notepad

https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/b9d9795d54144605a2b9c18288ff8158

OH I see

missing a bracket, I think

[royal stump]

gotta close both the "when" and the change itself, yeah

[clever sinew]

okay there we go

ty!

the one problem with notepad++ json validator is that sometimes it won't tell me where exactly the problem is T_T So being reminded about the smapi validator is supremely helpful

[rancid temple]

I'm gonna beat this horse til I'm also dead, but VSC just works way better lol

[rain basalt]

should use

[rancid temple]

!vsc I think

[ocean sail]

When creating content mods, it's useful to have a program that will check the validity of your json for you. We tend to recommend either VSCode https://code.visualstudio.com/download or notepad++ https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/

To use this command, type !vsc.

[rain basalt]

!VSC

How to make VSCode not scream at json comments

In Visual Studio Code, go to File -> Preferences -> Settings, then search for "associations", and in the "Associations" setting, click the Add Item button to add an item with key *.json and value jsonc (see image).
If you are making a content pack for Content Patcher, you should consider using its json schema so that VSCode can tell you if your patches are valid, you simply have to add

"$schema": "https://smapi.io/schemas/content-patcher.json"

at the start of your content.json file.

To use this command, type !vscjsonc.

[rain basalt]

when you realize the whole issue is you use editmap instead of load >.>

[rancid temple]

Really depends on what you're trying to do lol

[rain basalt]

create a custom location to warp to lol

[rancid temple]

Ah yeah, that'd do it lmao

[rain basalt]

teh edit is for after its loaded >.>

but since i copied and pasted all the edits for map and changed options and location data but forgot need the map to load first

yay warp and fishing working

Now to finish the other warps and edits and sigh 😔 everything else lol

[clever sinew]

For appending npc gift tastes, is 5 now neutral gifts?

[uncut viper]

i dont believe its changed?

seems to be 5 in any case

[clever sinew]

Neutral is just the last slot in NPCGiftTastes, as far as I can tell

[uncut viper]

oh

then not 5 no

i looked at "Um... why?" and decided that sounded neutral lmao

[clever sinew]

Listen fair

If the tutorial on the wiki is still correct that’s totally fine with me, it just hasn’t been updated since 1.5.1

[velvet narwhal]

(10 is what you're looking for, for appending to neutrals)

[uncut viper]

10?

[velvet narwhal]

wait maybe 9, it's index 0 right?

[uncut viper]

that would mean theres 11 fields, though

yeah

[clever sinew]

One sec

[uncut viper]

its 9

[clever sinew]

index taste reaction dialogue reference IDs
0, 1 love I seriously love this! You're the best, @! 66 128 220 226 276 611
2, 3 like Hey, how'd you know I was hungry? This looks delicious! none
4, 5 dislike What am I supposed to do with this? -5 -75 -79 16 245 246
6, 7 hate What were you thinking? This is awful! 330
8, 9 neutral You brought me a present? Thanks. none

[velvet narwhal]

evens are the dialogue, odds are the actual data fwiw

[clever sinew]

That is important to know

Thank you both

[rain basalt]

So if I wana change a default warp on a map do I just use add warp and it will target primary from location or do I need to edit data and force the change that way

[shut grove]

how do object sprite sheets lay out their indexes? left to right, top to bottom, or top to bottom left to right?

[rain basalt]

From left to right by pixel

And top to bottom for y cord

[brave fable]

tadaa updates
#modded-stardew message

[rain basalt]

Grats let’s watch next update crash and burn it all

We can only pray to the junimos that nothing bad happens

[brave fable]

something bad always happens. is life

[rancid temple]

Bad things happen to those who exist as they say

[lucid iron]

blueberry what are your plan for wider release, if any

[brave fable]

i'll be doing a world tour sometime in 2028

tickets on sale thru pierre

[lucid iron]

the blues era...

[rain basalt]

Nice

[brave fable]

can i just add an arbitrary indefinite special order to the quests page

and can i add arbitrary progress whenever i want

[lucid iron]

the QuestDuration enum doesnt have any indefinite length

[brave fable]

oh wow wtf is this enum

[lucid iron]

maybe if u just give it null

unclear of NetEnum will like that

as for arbitrary progress if you lock each stage behind a collect objective of some item it'd be what you want sort of

[brave fable]

(cough) am i allowed to subclass special order. how would i even serialise this
