In b4 19 different implementation of parallax

#

Not me

#

The other mathperson has committed a nerdsnipe

lucid iron
#

is parallax a feature desired by the general public blobcatgooglyblep

velvet narwhal
#

i think it's been at least 3 different people wanting it, so, maybe?

uncut viper
#

what do people even want parallax for, im confused

velvet narwhal
#

3 different authors*

#

~aesthetic~

#

and probably indoor maps

uncut viper
#

but like... aesthetic where

rancid temple
#

Submarine

#

Maybe something with the cable car?

next surge
#

When I was playing modding Baldur's Gate 3 I didn't have time to actually play the game, all time spent making mods. And then I quit BG3, and never even got to play Act 2+ at all even though I played EA for years.

lucid iron
#

i specifically want to make bastion button blobcatgooglyblep

rancid temple
#

An airplane/bus map

uncut viper
#

ive never played bastion

velvet narwhal
#

i can't remember off the top of my head but i think it's something like, windows to have parallax, to not depend on the background being tied to that one strip?

lucid iron
#

although it won't be isometric for obvious reasons, i do think it's cool to see shit beneath u

#

the game itself has parallax in some places

#

like summit

#

and junimo kart lol

uncut viper
#

id rather chu make an arcade minigame framework

velvet narwhal
#

then lemme hack it up for karaoke

next surge
#

I'm tempted to jump into the SDV modding scene but a small part of me screams, "Don't do it!".

lucid iron
#

i cant beat lv1 of junimo kart or lv1 of prarie king

#

would u trust me to make mini game

uncut viper
#

i would like to be able to program a game and have chu's framework load it for me

#

like just let me import a unity project or smth

velvet narwhal
lucid iron
#

but button thats just IMinigame

velvet narwhal
#

isn't that already -- yeah

lucid iron
#

unless its like

velvet narwhal
#

IMinigame is just that woopsDerp1

brittle pasture
#

framework to execute arbitrary pygame executables in a window SDVpufferwoke

uncut viper
#

no i specifically want to give you my compiled .exe of a game i make

calm nebula
lucid iron
#

u want game to start terraria when u interact with the crystal

uncut viper
#

and have you do the work of loading it and letting it run

calm nebula
#

Anyways

#

Incoming nerd snipe

uncut viper
#

im retired dont aim at me

rancid temple
calm nebula
#

It's a great little puzzle!!!

#

V fun

velvet narwhal
#

wouldn't it be more work of making a unity minigame than it is building a ui

rancid temple
#

A minigame that's just an 8 bit version of SDV

#

With a minigame in it that lets you play an even smaller version

uncut viper
#

thats a good idea actually chu just let me program minigames like i can program my ti-86

64bit, 32bit, 16bit, 8bit, 4bit, 2bit, 1bit, THE WRIST GAME!

lucid iron
#

educated potatoes

velvet narwhal
#

tbh the "turn everything 8bit" just sounds like pulling an AT crime and replacing all of the draws

tiny zealot
#

turn everything 8bit is also absolutely something i could do with nightshade. i was playing with it at one point but put it down along with nightshade's vaporware update and i have been busy with other stuff

indigo yoke
#

okay the pufferbook emote is super cute

velvet narwhal
#

new april fools idea

#

pufferbook turns everything into pufferfish

wheat finch
#

OMG. TY for spotting that lol. You'd think I'd have done it correctly when I have working CP mail in another mod but I'm very rusty on my modding skills. Gonna try again with the fixes you ID'd.

#

Conditional compilation, most likely.

next plaza
#

Exactly

#

There is indeed

lucid iron
#

this seems not too strange even without conditional compilation blobcatgooglyblep

#

it just a getter

teal bridge
#

Without conditional compilation it's just sort of pointless, but it makes a lot more sense when you figure there are probably several different implementations of the method for different targets.

tiny zealot
#

it could easily be an interface method, yeah

sweet sphinx
#

is there a way to add a language option to the base game, like a conlang?

lucid iron
#

yea

teal bridge
#

(it's static, so can't be an interface method in .NET 6)

lucid iron
#

custom languages

tender bloom
uncut viper
#

good luck translating everything, though

tiny zealot
#

ah, well. nevertheless,

velvet narwhal
#

isn't there translations of RSV? close enough

lucid iron
uncut viper
#

whats rsv got to do with it

lucid iron
#

this one is traditional chinese for example

velvet narwhal
#

rsv has like, 22k lines of dialogue innit

next plaza
tiny zealot
#

isn't thai a custom language in stardew?

velvet narwhal
#

yep

sweet sphinx
#

wow

tender bloom
uncut viper
#

that was just for example to show it was possible wasnt it

    {
        Utility.addRainbowStarExplosion(this, new Vector2(monsterBox.Center.X - 32, monsterBox.Center.Y - 32), Game1.random.Next(6, 9));
    }```
wheat finch
#

Testing again. Wish me luck.

sweet sphinx
# uncut viper good luck translating everything, though

most of it is not translating, but making the words to be able to translate stuff, it took me years to finally get to a grammar system I like for Rhaciya, it just needs more words, there's only like ~300-400 words so far

velvet narwhal
#

oh you're doing an actual fantasy language? i finally looked up conlang

uncut viper
#

i mean i wasnt saying anything about making the conlang itself. just saying that translating every single bit of text in the game is difficult, bc it is

lucid iron
#

You know maybe you could do the other interpretation of "bilingual mod"

tiny zealot
#

continuing with my ongoing multiplayer map shenanigans, i am adding some locations on the fly which (may) require small map overrides to be applied based on world state. this state may differ every time the map is accessed. i've got the locations syncing correctly, but it seems to be the case that the "real" (host) location's map overrides and tile properties are not part of the synced data. farmhands are running the map overrides locally, but that affects only the shadow location, so the overrides aren't showing up when the farmhand warps to the real location.
given a shadow location reference, is there a reliable way to pull the "real" location out of Game1.locations from the farmhand's side, in order to apply the local overrides to that one?

lucid iron
#

Add additional dwarfish style languages

sweet sphinx
next plaza
uncut viper
next plaza
#

You could probably check the location list for the real location and apply them when a farmhand calls resetLocalState on the map

tiny zealot
#

i guess the part i'm not clear on is "check the location list for the real location". what should i be looking for?

uncut viper
#

i dont mean apply it right away, i mean apply it when they finally enter the real one

next plaza
#

Is it a dynamic location or static location?

#

(i.e like Mineshaft or VolcanoDungeon, or like the rest)

tiny zealot
#

uh... i'm not sure which, actually? it's one of two static layouts but it is only generated when needed. once it's made it sticks around

next plaza
#

Hmm

#

Is it in Game1.locations?

#

And/or do you patch getLocationFromNameInLocationsList to return it from elsewhere?

#

Or do you need it to work for anything?

tiny zealot
#

yeah, the real (host) one and the shadow (farmhand) one should both be listed in Game1.locations

next plaza
#

Interesting. Well, Game1.getLocationFromNameInLocationsList should work for getting the farmhand's copy that isn't the current location

#

(Unless it's like the farm, since of course there's no shadow copy for that for example)

tiny zealot
#

hmm, i'll check it out. thanks!

next plaza
#

Although, I wonder if _locationLookup will get in the way

#

Looks like it probably is fine though

tiny zealot
#

(my backup plan if i can't fix this overrides setup is to have multiple copies of the affected map and load the one that applies. but i hate that, so i'm trying this first SDVpuffersquee)

wheat finch
#

I wonder if CP/SMAPI are just disliking the hyphen in the recipe name? I removed the condition from the crafting recipe so it doesn't get learned on level-up automatically but the letter still won't trigger. Either that or it doesn't like the i18n. Gonna remove that rq to test.

velvet narwhal
rancid temple
#

Oh right, I forgot that just gives you the recipe at that level not sends the mail

#

Well, without that you have to send the mail yourself with trigger actions

#

The friendship unlock is the one that sends automatically

velvet narwhal
#

don't quote me on it but hyphens shouldn't matter in the context of the name, considering i append everything with {{ModId}}_

uncut viper
#

thats an underscore

rancid temple
#

The vanilla files use hyphens

velvet narwhal
#

in the context of it i meant it takes symbols KEK

rancid temple
#

Only issue is if CP has any issues with hyphens, but it shouldn't in that location

uncut viper
#

well it probably does break with some symbols

velvet narwhal
#

the schema probably says which ones SDVpufferthink

rancid temple
#

Probably not

#

The problem isn't syntax related, it's how the code is using the entry there

uncut viper
#

if CA really wanted he could parse recipe names by splitting it into multiple strings after every "a" instead of something like every "/"

#

thus you would not be allowed to use "a"

velvet narwhal
wheat finch
velvet narwhal
#

ah yeah if you want the mail to be sent you'd have to add an editdata on triggeractions

#

or make/edit a shop to sell the recipe, entirely up to you

wheat finch
#

Sorry had to step away to fold laundry lol. Ugh okay. I was afraid of that. I thought it would be enough to have the when condition in the mail itself. Maybe I'll just add it to Marnie's. She's the one I have sending the letter with the recipe anyway.

uncut viper
#

the When condition just tells content patcher when to add your stuff to the game

#

the game does not look at the When condition at all

rancid temple
#

Yeah I was suggesting to remove the When because I think that might cause it to delay knowing th mail exists for an extra day

atomic vale
#

In the manifest.json of a mod can you have more than one update key?

wheat finch
#

I'm so rusty on modding I should have known that lol. K. Gonna look at the trigger actions thing and try again. TY both.

rancid temple
velvet narwhal
#

also it looks like it only does the trygets after the name in regards to craftingrecipe

atomic vale
wheat finch
#

K. Added a trigger action. Here's hoping.

fathom hound
uncut viper
#

have you double checked your spriteindex

fathom hound
#

i just have it 16x32 was that an oops?

uncut viper
#

that would mean you'd have index 0 and index 1

fathom hound
#

ohhh not 1 and 2, thank you

uncut viper
#

im also curious, why load the spritesheet but then use internalassetkey

#

(also yea indices start at 0)

fathom hound
#

not sure, im learning from another weapon mod tbh SDVpetcatsad

uncut viper
#

(for like all things)

fathom hound
#

oh thank you

fathom hound
wheat finch
#

Well at least now I'm getting an error to tell me why the mail won't load. Back to the documentation to figure out where I went wrong.

uncut viper
#

if you're loading the texture into Mods/MeowmereWeapons then you can just write Mods/MeowmereWeapons in the Texture lines

#

instead of the internalassetkey token

#

or you can keep the internalassetkeytoken and remove the Load action

#

using the internalassetkey would mean no one else can edit your textures with content patcher

#

i.e. cannot editimage on them

#

or load over them

fathom hound
#

oh okay, which would be better for what im trying to do with c# too?

#

(wanted to add ||meowmere|| effects to them too)

uncut viper
#

i have no idea what you're trying to do with C# but probably the Load

fast urchin
#

How to receive the same email repeatedly

uncut viper
#

if you load it you can then get it with Game1.content.Load or the smapi load helper or w/e

#

email?

fathom hound
wheat finch
#

Does {{ModID}} not pull the mod ID from the manifest's UniqueID?

uncut viper
#

it does

fast urchin
#

sorry, mail

uncut viper
#

you can repeatedly send mail with the AddMail action

fast urchin
#

thank you so much

wheat finch
uncut viper
#

at you, {{ModId}} takes the UniqueID from the manifest.json

wheat finch
#

TY. Log threw an error at me that there's no ID but I used {{ModID}} so it should have.

uncut viper
#

where are you trying to use it?

fathom hound
wheat finch
uncut viper
#

you havent written the same mail key

#

your mail key in Data/mail does not have the {{ModId}} at the start

#

assuming your uniqueid is cosplaywrite.CAP, what you have in your action is AddMail Current cosplaywrite.CAP_cosplaywrite.CAP.MarnieLetter

wheat finch
uncut viper
fathom hound
wheat finch
#

I was really good at modding before 1.6 came along. Now I'm super rusty and everything is different lol

uncut viper
wheat finch
#

That's not a problem. I can create a new junk save and use CJB cheats to set my skill level to see.

uncut viper
#

you can use another action to mark it unapplied temporarily or add the MarkActionApplied field to the trigger actioln itself for debugging

#

that also works

uncut viper
wheat finch
#

Gonna test it and see but if it doesn’t work I think I’ll walk away for the evening.

fathom hound
wheat finch
#

I give up.

fathom hound
#

oh i know what i did i think

#

i think i put hammer in the wrong indentation

#

(?)

rancid temple
#

Oh, you closed Entries

#

And then you put the hammer

uncut viper
#

ah yeha, you did. did you not get an error in your console?

fathom hound
#

yeah that

#

no i didnt but i just realized i need to update CP

velvet narwhal
#

(does the caseSensitivity work in regards of it doing {{ModId}} vs {{ModID}} ?

rancid temple
#

ModId is not case sensitive

#

I don't think any CP tokens are

uncut viper
#

few tokens are

rancid temple
#

I believe some GSQ's are though

velvet narwhal
#

i honestly don't remember which ones are, so i'm on the basis of "everything is caseSensitive until nothing is"

rancid temple
#

Generally, it's better to just assume it's case sensitive

#

It also helps avoid issues with Linux

calm nebula
#

Tokens aren't case sensitive

#

File paths are

#

The gsq resolver isn't case sensitive but the arguments may be

#

My future cat or dog is case insensitive

rancid temple
#

cAt

wheat finch
#

My mod's unique ID is "cosplaywrite.CraftableAutoPetter" does that matter in terms of what I put after the {{ModId}} token?

calm nebula
#

Code is typically case sensitive. Unless you're programming in a bonkers language

wheat finch
#

I can add a link to an updated validated json.

rancid temple
#

If you aren't using ModId everywhere, then you will have mismatch issues

velvet narwhal
rancid temple
#

Because I saw you were using a condensed version of that in places before

wheat finch
rancid temple
velvet narwhal
#

this is probably where it's failing

image.png
rancid temple
#

Oh, yeah that's not good lol

wheat finch
#

Trigger Actions and tokenizable strings are all new to me since I was last super active on the mod scene so thank you for your patience here. I used MFM for this mod before and am moving it all over to CP now.

#

Oh geez. That's what I get for copy-pasting.

fast urchin
#

how to know that the player has completed a quest or a special order at a tick

velvet narwhal
tiny zealot
#

i am going insane.

When a farmhand warps to a location, the game fetches the real location from the host player before the warp completes.
how does this work. where does this happen and why doesn't it include map overrides. how do map overrides work in multiplayer at all if they don't sync and farmhands (seemingly) can't apply them to their own locations

calm nebula

calm nebula
fast urchin
calm nebula
next plaza
#

Ah, it's technically MakeMapModifications

#

Which is called in resetForPlayerEntry

next plaza
#

Oh, for receiving maps?

calm nebula
#

It's supposed to be reentrant but somehow it's not

next plaza
#

Really? I'm only seeing it called in overriden versions, or the weird one in FarmerTeam

#

Or in resetForPlayerEntry lambda

wheat finch
#

Well that's a step in the right direction. The letter triggered successfully but got "no translation available" so now I know it doesn't like my i18n.

calm nebula
next plaza
#

Oh, it's resetForPlayerEntry that's called in both places

calm nebula
#

Yup

tiny zealot
#

oh ho, a resetForPlayerEntry lambda? can i just... add one of those

calm nebula
#

It's....supposed to be reentrant and somehow isnt

next plaza
#

What do you mean by reentrant

calm nebula
#

If you call it twice it's irrelevant

tiny zealot
#

hmm i would call that idempotent

next plaza
#

Ah. Well, yeah, it should, since _madeMapModifications bool guards it

teal bridge
#

That's not a normie-friendly definition at all, lol

calm nebula
#

Right. That

#

Reentrant is threading

next plaza
#

Oh wait

#

It reset it to false then immediately checks it

#

Nevermind

teal bridge
#

Yeah, reentrant means it can be called (directly or indirectly) by itself safely.

next plaza
#

(After some calls to resetLocalState where it might be called otherwise)

teal bridge
#

Is it supposed to be reentrant or idempotent?

calm nebula
#

Idempotent

next plaza
#

Idempotent I can't recall the meaning of but doesn't sound right

teal bridge
#

Idempotent means the outcome is the same no matter how many times you call it with the same arguments.

next plaza
#

Looking up the definition though it's just my memory 😛

calm nebula
#

Hmm

#

Not that either

teal bridge
#

Well, actually, times aren't really that important, it means the outcome is the same when called with the same arguments period.

calm nebula
#

I think I mean something more along the lines thar calling jt twice won't apply the map modification twice

teal bridge
#

That's the same as what I said...

fathom hound
teal bridge
#

The outcome only depends on the call/arguments, not prior state.

next plaza
#

Actually both calls to resetForPlayerEntry are in onFadeToBlackComplete - Client.setUpGame is irrelevant here

next plaza
calm nebula
#

Yeah my arrows are bad lol

calm nebula
fathom hound
#

derp

calm nebula
#

ReadActiveLocation was intended to be the other one?

fathom hound
#

thx pufferheart

next plaza
#

@tiny zealot I guess you could override Game1.hooks with a DelegatingModHooks subclass (SMAPI class that automatically calls the existing hooks for you), and then override OnGameLocation_ResetForPlayerEntry to make your modification at the end.

#

Or just patch GameLocation.MakeMapModifications if you're already using harmony

fathom hound
wheat finch
#

Easy fix lol. I hope. I didn’t have the right i18n key in my content json. It didn’t match my default json. 🤦‍♀️

next plaza
calm nebula
#

I think ichor mostly cares about his location anyways

#

Which is a known class

next plaza
#

Ah, true

#

Didn't think of that

velvet narwhal
wheat finch
#

Success!!!

next plaza
#

Though your condition is probably wrong too

#

Since (W)65 isn't going to be the right mail flag I think

fathom hound
#

oh ~_~!

tiny zealot
#

i have been using a plain GameLocation, since i assume it is dangerous to subclass it. i might just patch MMM since i am in fact already using harmony

calm nebula
#

Oh I missed that entirely

next plaza
#

Yeah, if it gets saved you'd need to do the whole remove/readd dance or use SpaceCore (assuming it's not one of the few classes that is xml serialized across the network sometimes, which I don't think it is)

fathom hound
#

so it would be (W)MeowmereWeapons.Dagger?

wheat finch
#

Now to decide if I want to version this 2.0 since it won't work with older game versions and I changed up the contents of Marnie's letter or if I want to just version it 1.0.2 since it's not a huge change.

calm nebula
#

Now if you want to do that dance?

next plaza
#

@fathom hound For the mail flag condition, the proper mail flag I think you want is "hasActivatedForestPylon"

tiny zealot
#

no, the snorlax technique is off the table for this one. the contents have to persist/be saved

lucid iron
fathom hound
next plaza
#

Snorlax technique? That's a new one

calm nebula
#

Is the snorlax technique sleepinf

tiny zealot
#

that's what i call the add/remove dance to avoid serializing a subclass

wheat finch
tiny zealot
#

since i did it for my snorlax log mod

next plaza
#

So yeah, harmony is your best approach without SpaceCore

#

(If I remember correctly you're one of the people who don't play with SpaceCore installed?)

velvet narwhal
#

(ichor destroys snorlax before save SDVpufferpensive then brings it back on load)

next plaza
#

(Or maybe I'm thinking of tiakall)

#

(In addition to focustense and a couple others)

fathom hound
#

[game] Failed parsing condition 'hasActivatedForestPylon': 'hasActivatedForestPylon' isn't a known query or alias. oops, did i put it in wrong

Hey all. I've just been wondering how to include some (if not almost all) cornucopia crops to be salable to one of my custom shops.
I tried doing this but it's not really showing in the list of shop items. Oh, and made sure to made cornucopia a dependency in the manifest (because i always forget manifest.json). I couldnt focus as much so I just decided to ask for help im sowwy. SDVdwarf

In my data/shops block.
 {
                            "Id": "{{ModId}}_Cornucopia_Crops_Spring",
                            "ItemId": "ALL_ITEMS (O)",
                            "Condition": "SEASON Spring",
                            "PerItemCondition":"ITEM_CONTEXT_TAG Target Cornucopia.MoreCrops.cornucopia_season_spring, ITEM_CONTEXT_TAG Target Cornucopia.MoreCrops.modid_cornucopia.morecrops",

those context tags don't look correct

context tags dont have mod id prefixes

what you see in object data is what you get

and you dont need the dependency either btw

You can copy whatever we did for data/shop_pierre.json

I have a CP with custom tokens which values can be changed by GMCM in-game (or at least that's what I think).

How can I force CP to re-check the and re-edit the assets after something changes in GMCM/Config?

chu said something about forcing invalidation previously but didn't got into more details

calm nebula
blissful saddle
#

so many questions

fathom hound
next plaza
#

Also, I have no idea where you got that method name - "attackWithTool" doesn't exist anywhere in SDV

calm nebula
#

The Traditional TM way to do it is to call patch reload on your content packs

#

Ask ichor SDVkrobusgiggle

blissful saddle
next plaza
#

Yeah, there's no direct way to force a mod's patches to reload

#

Programmatically anyways

calm nebula

Yeah, you kinda have to abuse the console command

And I don't think Pathos plans on adding a way to do it otherwise

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

-You cannot reload tokens, that's a forced restart unfortunately
-If you've done any CHANGES, then type into SMAPI:
patch reload YourMod.UniqueID
-If you've done i18n DEFAULT.jSON changes, then type into SMAPI:
reload_i18n then
patch reload YourMod.UniqueID
-C# Visual Studio has a feature called Hot Reload
-C# Rider also has Hot Reload
-Generally working in C# it will be called "Hot Reload" (usage may vary)

To use this command, type !reload.

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.

AI is good to generate code and text IF you know before hand what you expect and are able to instantaneously validate their answer

rancid temple

The Harmony site has a really big emphasis on using them with only like a sad side on manual patching so I just assumed

and also if they start at the same time, i often get warnings due to collisions from simultaneous attempts to access the startuppreferences file (and once an error from a similar collision after cancelling out of the LAN menu)

Reflection's just a tool; use it, don't use it, whatever. Using it to pry into another module's internals isn't always the best idea, but that's not a Reflection issue, there are other ways to do that too (like Publicizer/IgnoreAccessChecks).

hm i didnt think to put the harmony.Patch part on the source gen i did for transpilers

partly cus the attribute was getting really long

But what Harmony actually does is way more expensive and risky than any of the reflection involved in reading its attributes.

So to the extent that its attributes involve reflection, it's... meh.

Right so you can't change between tilesheets

you can conditionally patch the og tilesheet

hm is there a GSQ on the lost and found

faint ingot
#

I think I just realized my DayTiles / NightTiles problem... #1 it looks like tiles with animations are not supported for swapping in, and #2... it was raining so they were showing the night tiles during the day in my test

#

Now I try something janky and have the animated tiles always on in the background, and a layer above them that is clear when it's time for NightTiles

#

i was thinking i would have a box (tile on building layer) that appear only if there's stuff in lost and found

#

though hm idk how to condition a map patch on a GSQ either kyuuchan_run

Lost and found is considered to have items in it when Farmer.team.returnedDonations.Count > 0, which the game apparently does draw something different just hardcoded if there are things in the lost and found lol

spacecore anim seem to work correct in other locale hm

#

the code never looked wrong so i wonder if that person resolved their problem

Wait, are spacecore animations broken?

#

I got a PR that fixed them in other languages

#

I forgot to test it though, maybe it's not working in english now or something?

lucid iron
#

it is working fine

#

around 1 month ago someone mentioned it wasnt working for them, so it was in back of my mind to check

rancid temple
lucid iron
#

but yea it seems alright in all languages

rancid temple
#

I did not copy this question mark functionality and now I'm wondering if I should lmao

#

I have never actually used the lost and found before testing it for my changes lol

Question
Is there any way to add a new "name-able" thing, seamlessly, without just having it be a GMCM config option like some mods tend to do?
Example: Someone asks you to name something, the naming screen comes up, then that's the name NPCs will refer to it as? I know you can use the GMCM and certain content patcher tokens for customizable names/terms and such

next plaza
#

Not with CP

#

With C# you'd probably need to trigger NamingMenu and use the value from that

olive fulcrum
#

Ahhh, I figured

fathom hound
#

how many files am i supposed to have with a C# mod besides the manifest? i have this as ModEntry.cs but I don't have a .dll folder like i'm supposed to ~_~'

lucid iron
#

you can have as many as you want

#

or just 1 big file

tender bloom
#

Did you compile?

#

The DLL gets made when you compile

#

Your actual project (the .csproject and all your .cs files) should be in a separate location than your Mods folder, when you build the project in VS ModBuildConfig will place the compiled project into Mods in its own folder

olive fulcrum
#

Or else your dreams will be upset with you

rancid temple
#

Which will usually consist of your .dll, manifest.json and config.json if you have a config

#

And you know, anything else depending on what you're actually doing

fathom hound
#

ty ^^

rancid temple
#

When you're closer to being ready to release, assuming you're gonna distribute, when you build there's also a zipped up version of your mod made for you, so no need to go through the trouble of doing all that

#

Though you'll need to make sure your mod is set up properly to include your CP stuff if you're still doing that separate

fathom hound
#

still trying to figure out how to reference this modbuildconfig package in VS code

lucid iron
#

If you are windows consider just using VS?

#

It's got more bells & whistles

fathom hound
#

I have that too, for sure

rancid temple
#

If you're on Linux, Rider is free for non-commercial use

lucid iron
#

For vscode you want the C# dev kit extension

#

After getting that there should be a panel called solution Explorer

#

Right click on any project in there, then u can add nuget

fathom hound
#

ty!

rancid temple
#

I love VSC for json but I wouldn't want to try to do C# in it lol

fathom hound
#

I see

rancid temple
#

Rider having a free option does eliminate one of my biggest blocks for switching to Linux... ugh

lucid iron
#

I just have vague dislike of fancy things ok

#

Since I just build from cli anyways

rancid temple
#

Anyways, I've put off bed long enough looking at my own bad code. Good luck, have fun

Goodnight

#

this is so frustrating argh, feel like i just cant learn this ~_~

brave fable
#

oh yeah programming is a bit like that for a while

fathom hound
#

i have all these red squigglies and idk why

#

;-;

brave fable
#

is there any explanation for the sourcePhrase param in ItemQueryContext added in 1.6.14?

teal bridge
#

You can learn it, but you tend to need a knowledge base before you can do anything really useful.

#

If you just tried to dive right into a mod without knowing any C#, it might be a good idea to back off a bit and read some of the tutorials.

fathom hound
#

ive been reading tutorials for a bit but i dont think im fully absorbing them

brave fable
#

programming tutorials are a bit like that

teal bridge
#

Reading tutorials on C#, or on C# Stardew mods?

brave fable
#

helps to cross-reference with different mods' source code if you can find simple git repositories to use as examples, and search keywords and patterns as you go

fathom hound
#

Harmony patching in particular

teal bridge
#

Yeah, that is really not the place to start.

ivory plume
# brave fable is there any explanation for the `sourcePhrase` param in `ItemQueryContext` adde...

It's explained a bit in the code docs:

/// <summary>If set, a human-readable phrase which describes what's loading the item query.</summary>
/// <remarks>This identifies what's loading the item query in a hierarchical human-readable way, like <c>"building 'Mill' > item conversion rule 'Default'"</c>. This should be formatted for use within a log message like <c>"Item spawn fields for {0} produced a null item"</c>.</remarks>
public string SourcePhrase { get; set; }

Or more info from the commit message:

add item query 'source phrase' to allow troubleshooting item query log messages

For example, this changes vague messages like this:
> Item spawn fields with ID 'Default' produced a null or empty item ID.

With something much more troubleshootable like this:
> Item spawn fields for machine '(BC)163' > output rule 'Cheese' > trigger 'ItemPlacedInMachine' > entry 'Default' produced a null or empty item ID.

To minimize extra allocations, the base game only sets the context at the point where the context was previously constructed (e.g. "machine '(BC)163' > output rules" in the example above).
brave fable
#

oh, so a sort of CP LogName equivalent for queries

#

thanks for sharing the commit, helps explain it a lot SDVpufferthumbsup

ivory plume
#

Yep, exactly like that (and uses the same approach for nested item query contexts).

brave fable
#

suppose it's good practice to include our mod id in the phrase?

ivory plume
#

Usually it would be the path to that field in the asset, so it would include the mod ID if applicable (e.g. via the ID of the entry).

brave fable
#

in this case it's not exactly in an asset, rather a query on a location instance from a tile action, which is used to set an item:

ItemQueryContext context = new(
    location: this,
    player: Game1.MasterPlayer,
    random: null,
    sourcePhrase: $"{this.Name} > {ModEntry.ModData.TileActionCrowTrade} > {nameof(this.CrowTradeItem)}");

which would resolve to "Custom_blueberry_Hikawa_Shrine > Custom_blueberry_Hikawa_CrowTrade > CrowTradeItem"
(yep it still uses Custom_ for ids since this project hasnt changed in forever)

ivory plume
#

In that case I'd do something like "location '{this.Name}' > tile action '{ModEntry.ModData.TileActionCrowTrade}' > {nameof(this.CrowTradeItem)}" for clarity, but otherwise that looks fine.

#

Essentially the goal of sourcePhrase is just so that when an error is logged, it's possible to find what's actually causing it.

brave fable
#

perfect, thanks SDVpufferthumbsup hope that's knocked out a few FAQs for the channel hahah

Was testing the festival locations for vanilla for my hat mouse mod and noticed that my custom hats added via JA (was planning to convert to CP for 1.6 but figured I'd test locations in Y2 first) are not showing up for sale in the stalls.

can someone help me with a content patcher mod I'm making? it feels like no matter what I do it just will not work

What's the issue?

I made a recolor and it just will not show up in game

#

can I send the zip?

latent mauve
#

Are you testing with other mods or just content patcher and yours?

lone arrow
#

I have other mods, I've tried both with them and without them

latent mauve
#

If it's not an isolated test, you might need to do a patch summary of whatever area isn't updating to check the order of what's being applied

rancid temple
#

Did you make sure your Dependencies are set properly for your mod?

brave fable
#

do also share your content file(s) at https://json.smapi.io and send a link to the parsed page here for us to look-over

latent mauve
#

But if you can put your code in the JSON parser and show your mod folders's structure as far as where the assets are, that should be enough to troubleshoot.

#

As well as anything popping up in your smapi log, just in case there's an error loading the assets

brave fable
#

does anyone have an example csproj using IgnoreModFilePaths btw?

that log does show your mod's loaded at least, but since it doesn't include a patch summary from the smapi console after loading into the Mountain map (or Tent interior if the recolour affects it) it's hard to say where it went wrong
