whats path tile index 34? Cause im getting an error for that

#

the error is: [game] Location 'StarKOdoll_MMITown' ignored path tile index 34 (spawn tree) at position Static Tile Index=34 BlendMode=Alpha because the tile has no 'SpawnTree' tile property. Im guessing i forgot to place a path tile? not sure though, cause i spawned in many trees without a path tile (Please ping!)

i think it's the tile it's being placed on

Oh, the DP report came out today. ... I have zero idea how I got so much but I won't complain

Yall publish your mods? nice

I think they changed the DP algo again some time ago, which gives most people more than back in Aug/Sep?

Since 1.6 all music tracks fade in when they start to play, i was wondering where that was configured and if there was a way to bypass it

uncut viper
#

i dont think its that music tracks fade in i think the music is just made with a fade in

blissful panther
#

Should be easy to confirm which it is, at least!

(still not opting into DP)

#

I switched dp to donations (which nexus presumably use for tax blobcatgooglyblep)

#

Number go up

brittle pasture
#

also no DP gang. I'm sure EMC would have done gangbusters, but eh

uncut viper
#

i have DP on but havent actually done anything with it yet. i like number go up though. CMCT basically matched my books mods lifetime downloads in November alone so my report was like twice as large as the previous largest... which was october and also because of CMCT lol

lucid iron
#

Rasmodia is powerful

uncut viper
#

yeah thats pretty much the whole reason

lucid iron
#

It is the exact kind of mod that cmct is great for bolbclose

#

A mod for other mods

well its been that way since 1.6 at the very least. i suppose i cant really say about anything before then

So I was tinkering with my NPC schedule and trying to troubleshoot why the schedule didn't seem to be working. I decided to make sure mods were up to date. After updating SMAPI my NPCs don't load at all. Am I doing something wrong in my mod that made this happen?https://smapi.io/log/8f1aec90abab48ea85a61099771fe3d4

Log Info: SMAPI 4.1.8 with SDV 1.6.14 build 24317 on Microsoft Windows 11 Home, with 6 C# mods and 3 content packs.

#

i'm also no DP gang, but also my mods don't do numbers so it's academic

calm nebula
#

I think it's weird I still get dp lol

#

People shouldn't be downloading my mods

#

They don't work

So there is no possible way to add functionality to rings created with CP without the use of C#

Jorts and Jean is my only "monetized" mod because all theirs goes to charity

#

(but I have to do it manually so uh I should get on that)

teal bridge
#

Could probably get a decent chunk from DP (I have the "lifetime" Premium already) but it skews incentives too much.

blissful panther
#

Nexus don't have the charity you want, I guess?

lucid iron
#

I'm psure I would get more money to charity if I got a part time job at mcdonalds instead of making mods LilyDerp

#

So it is just numbers go up

calm nebula
#

Mom says I should try selling my knitting lol

#

That would be hilariously little money for the hours required....but would likely still beat dp

lucid iron
#

atravita-etsy

teal bridge
#

And that's the reason not to do DP. Not because the number is low, but because it invokes that entire process of solving the equation, constantly.

#

If I want to think about "what's best for the shareholders" then I'll just do more corporate office drone work.

#

I'm guessing that as people update to 1.6.9... er, that is 1.6.10, no I mean 1.6.14, they maybe start to take a look at mods again after a lot of their old ones die.

#

I definitely did see an uptick in overall downloads.

September was my worst month for DP since April, lol

Well that's working too. csharp api.CheckCanCraft += evt => { if (evt.Recipe.Ingredients != null && evt.Recipe.Ingredients.Length > 2) evt.Fail("@C{red}You only have two hands. How are you gonna carry more ingredients?"); };

No shade on those that do (but please do not monetize all your hobbies, for the sake of your mental health)

blissful panther
#

Yeah, if you're able to monetise and not focus on or pay attention to it (definitely how I do it), it's an ideal situation!

#

And maybe Nexus would consider adding the charity? Might be worth asking!

latent mauve
#

I would feel bad monetizing mine because nothing I've released so far really does much in the way of non-base game or very lightly edited asssets.

teal bridge
latent mauve
#

Feels like I haven't earned it, you know?

calm nebula

(Converslry, thr worst of both worlds is when you have responsibility and also aren't monetized worth shit)

blissful panther
latent mauve
#

(I have been known to undervalue my work, but the line is hard to find)

teal bridge
#

Calling it mental health and such is a bit dramatic for me (you do what's best for yours, of course), I just don't want to be lulled into the dull economic calculus because it takes the fun away.

#

I made Minecraft Marketplace Mods for the last five years, and I had to take a big step back because the actual game had become a job, which was not what I had originally wanted

tender bloom
#

I wonder how open Nexus is to adding new charities

teal bridge
tender bloom
#

There's some relatively specific causes I'd like to support but the Nexus list is pretty plain

brittle ledge
tender bloom
#

Like I would send my pride mod DP to trevor project for example

rancid musk
#

On a related note, I want to say that I'm glad people aren't super negative about DP and talking about it. I know in some communities there'd be people breathing fire like "you accepted money for a hobby?"

brittle ledge
latent mauve
rancid temple
#

DP isn't the same as donations though

latent mauve
#

Yeah, that's my sticking point, honestly

#

I'm so used to thinking about in art terms, which isn't actually how DP works

rancid temple
#

DP is paid by Nexus as an incentive to keep modding communities alive

teal bridge
#

People who feel as though they need the money will take it, there's no sense in starting a holy war about that at the individual level. (At the platform level is a whole other story, though.)

brittle ledge
#

I don't think you have to have a certain value of effort/quality/content for your mod to have value, though. I personally try not to frame my view of my mods by how much I think I'm contributing to the mod sphere.

teal bridge
#

(case in point: No More Lag)

brittle ledge
#

Gauging your work by outside factors almost always ends in disappointment SDVpuffersquee

latent mauve
#

I'm just so used to the legal rigaramole of "you didn't make this asset 100% from scratch and it's unsure if it's enough of a derivative work, so you can't profit from it" that I don't even try if it's not 100% my art involved, and I forget about the code part since I'm not used to coding projects for money.

rancid temple
#

Re: donations though, I have been too poor for my entire life to ever turn down when people wanna give me money, I don't need a reason to accept it lmao

#

The only outside perspective I want on my mods is if they're broken and I haven't noticed/fixed it yet and if a related feature could be added lol

teal bridge
#

Outside scrutiny - "market forces" - are important for the continued creation of genuinely useful work. Whether the Nexus DP system actually meets that criteria is highly debatable.

rancid musk
brittle ledge
#

Anyway I will forever bang the drum that you should have at least one hobby that's not monetized at all, but mods doesn't have to be that one. CA is fine with it, so should the rest of the community SDVpufferheart

teal bridge
#

I might very well "monetize" if monetizing meant selling a product in the traditional way, setting a price and seeing who's interested. But that's not even remotely how the mod "market" works.

#

And of course, I'd probably still split the time between those I make for myself/personal reasons and those intended for "sale". It's all hilariously blue-sky speculative though.

ornate locust
#

as someone who is partly disabled and takes care of my grandmother, the DP is nice, makes me feel like I'm actually doing something instead of that nagging "I am a drain on almost everyone I love" thing. The number doesn't matter so much. But actually setting prices makes me anxious.

#

I have done commissions, I just never feel like I'm good enough at it to ask decent prices, making myself do it is a fight. SDVpufferdizzy

teal bridge
#

Yes, but while YMMV, that's the point I'm making; the products that people will snap up for both zero monetary cost and zero risk are very different from those they'd take economic or personal risks for.

#

Designing for profit in an ecosystem where the "customer" is making decisions with an everything-is-free mentality is just hilariously distorted and broken.

#

You can thank a generation of "ad-supported" services for these perverse incentives.

So really, skaiPG13 capitalism guiuwutine

ornate locust
#

I believe that's what it is, they're basically saying "your work brings us revenue, mostly ad revenue, here is a portion of it"

but if you take it, definitely do not fall into the trap of figuring out the number. Be bad at math, like me, go "ah, number nice" and do not think about it further. That way lies madness

@brave fable Hey there! Just letting you know that a Better Crafting update was just released with those new API events I mentioned before. https://github.com/KhloeLeclair/StardewMods/blob/main/BetterCrafting/IBetterCrafting.cs is up to date (and over 2,000 lines now :D) and as a little code example: ```csharp
var stone = api.CreateBaseIngredient("390", 1);
api.ApplySeasoning += evt => {
if (evt.Item is SObject sobj && sobj.Quality == 0 && evt.HasIngredients(stone)) {
sobj.Quality = SObject.bestQuality;
evt.SetUsedLastMessage();
evt.ApplySeasoning(stone);
}
};

api.CheckCanCraft += evt => {
if (evt.Recipe.Ingredients != null && evt.Recipe.Ingredients.Length > 2)
evt.Fail("@C{red}You only have two hands. How are you gonna carry more ingredients?");
};```

Also, I just realized I've been reply-pinging a ton of people because the plugin that's supposed to disable auto-ping is broken. So, apologies for that all around.

ornate locust

I'm fine with pings myself

rancid musk
blissful panther
#

...wait what?

rancid temple
#

This is a good knowledge, thank you

blissful panther
#

Holy hell, it actually does.

teal bridge
#

Well, I got the plugin fixed, but that is indeed good to know.

#

I wish Discord would put the indicator itself in a place where you can actually see it.

ornate locust
#

I hang out in 50/50 places where people want and don't want pings, remembering which is which is a whole dang thing

#

I'd kill for some server-specific setting

blissful panther
#

There's definitely a higher percentage of people in this server who don't want pings than I've seen anywhere else.

ornate locust
#

Oh I've been in no-ping entire servers

#

where like maybe two people were fine with pings

teal bridge
#

I just turn them off as a matter of principle. I use replies for context in busy channels, so people know who/what I'm replying to, and don't like them being associated with "really need to get this user's attention".

ornate locust
#

fully about 50/50 on my end

teal bridge
#

Though I'll admit it is kind of annoying when someone constantly reply-pings you over and over again in a channel where you are the only 2 people talking.

#

But... that's really Discord's fault for shitty feature design, not the other individual's fault.

How does one understand the documentation

ornate locust
#

If you tell us what part of the documentation you are having a problem with, it would be easier to help you with it

tender bloom
#

The CP documentation has some examples you can copy paste

#

and there's also some tutorials on the modding wiki we can point you towards depending on what you're trying to do

desert pagoda
#

Add a door

tender bloom
#

Ah...so you've picked something tricky

desert pagoda
#

Doors are tricky?

tender bloom
#

Let me dig around for what you might need, but the hard parts of adding a door are mostly on the Tiled side

#

Interior doors are tricky

#

Like the door to Pierre's room?

desert pagoda
#

No I just want a door that leads to my custom map.

tender bloom
#

Oh, in that case you want a warp, not a door

#

Sorry, stardew uses some weird terms sometimes

#

But this tutorial should help you out

#

It's a tiny bit out of date but off the top of my head I think things are similar?

desert pagoda
#

I worked up a magic warp but how do you make that door into the map without overwriting the entire map

#

I tried doing the overlay thing but failed horribly

tender bloom
#

You can do a map patch at a specific coordinate

You are a saint thanks!

Hello gurus. When building a C# SMAPI mod, how does one go about getting the localized text?

How can I check that a player has unlocked the quarry as a precondition for an event?

#

(the event does not actually take place there)

uncut viper
#

check for the ccCraftsRoom mail flag

#

though actually idr if farmhands get that

calm nebula
#

Can't you check hostplayer flags lol?

uncut viper
#

i dont know anything about event preconditions

#

i know you could do that in order to conditionally patch the event into existence

#

but idk about in the precondition itself

uneven dagger
latent mauve
faint ingot
#

so I should mark the event as host only and broadcast it? I don't have much experience with multiplayer

#

Oh I see now just use the Hn check for the precondition for the host flag

#

but I still don't completely get how broadcast works generally, is that only a host player thing or can any player broadcast an event if they are the first to encounter it?

I'm working on a mod that gives the player tasks. I have a task in the top left to get 15 seeds in total. It checks how many the player has in their inventory and then tells the player to get the remaining seeds needed. I would also like this count to update when the player has the item in their cursor. In the first picture, I would like the count to be 1 instead of 15. I was able to get this working for when the player in the inventory menu (second picture) using this line Game1.player.CursorSlotItem, but it seems like each menu has their own script/file/object.

What would those files be for check Pierre's Shop specifically? I know the location name internally is "SeedShop", but idk if that's relevant to what I want to do.

image.png image.png
latent mauve
#

If you are looking for Shop name, it is also SeedShop, but it's stock list, open hours, etc., is set in Data/Shops

uncut viper
#

they dont want the shop data, they want the currently held cursor item when you have that shop menu open

latent mauve
#

I don't know anything about the Game Methods, though, this is just the physical location of the data in the unpacked files

uncut viper
#

(i do not know which menu it is specifically)

latent mauve
#

ah, I see

uncut viper
#

it might just be ShopMenu

#

i doubt Pierre has a specific menu just for himself but i cant say with 100% certainly. only like, 90%

lucid iron
#

it should be just shop menu

brave fable
#

yeah you don't want the player value for cursoritem, you want menu.heldItem

rancid temple
#

I do wonder about overriding CursorSlotItem while in a shop, since that usually reflects what you've purchased

lucid iron
#

although i should warn u that if u use gamepad the item goes into inventory immediately

rancid temple
#

It almost seems like what you want instead is to draw a separate thing entirely somewhere

shadow pagoda
shadow pagoda
brave fable
#

as simple as if (Game1.activeClickableMenu is ShopMenu menu) { var item = menu.heldItem; }

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

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

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

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

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

To use this command, type !mapmaking.

dense solstice
#

Hi folks! I'm new to Stardew modding, but have learned a TON about making SMAPI mods from the wiki, this chat, and poking around other folks' source code. I have a question now that I am really struggling to find an answer for on my own and I hope someone here is willing and able to help.

#

I'm not sure how best to handle removing or renaming options in config files in new versions of my mod. Say I initially create my mod with a single boolean option called "useBlue" that tells my code whether to use the blue thing or the not-blue thing. Then later down the road I want to add support for a variety of colors, so I would ultimately want to remove the "useBlue" option and replace it with a string option like "selectedColor". Is there a way to have the updated mod code find the old option, update the new option from that old one, then remove the old option from the config file or will my mod need to kinda maintain all my old options for backwards compatibility with old config files for as long as I want an easy update path for players?

lucid iron
#
  1. use an enum
  2. i think read config would just skip the field in this case, if it cant map to type?
#

so u get default value

#

the other possibility is that it throw err which u would just catch PecoWant

dense solstice
#

Wouldn't I have to include the old option as a property on my ModConfig class in order to read the old option from the config file, which would then mean that old option gets written to new config files since it is a property on my ModConfig class?

tiny zealot
#

public bool MyOldOption { private get; set; } = true;

dense solstice
tiny zealot
#

correct. you can choose how long to continue supporting it, so it doesn't have to be forever

#

like at some point you can remove it and just tell people they have to fix it manually or generate a fresh config

dense solstice
#

Perfect! Thank you both!

dense solstice
blissful saddle
#

I just love the fact that GMCM can make drop menu options to strings in configs

dense solstice
#

GMCM is awesome. I especially love that you can support it in your mod without it being a requirement for your mod. I suspect I have a lot to learn still about what all I can do with it.

I was a late adopter (compared to some other mods I picked up early) but I can't live without it anymore

Oh hey, a new MathsPerson! SDVpufferheart

elfin stirrup
#

hey guys, im new to modding, but what do you think about a mod for 1.6 that makes Trinkets available at Lvl 1 combat?

#

im wondering how i would approach this

tender bloom
#

you'd want to start by thinking of a mechanic

#

like, do you want them to drop normally?

#

have them for sale?

dense solstice
#

I haven't even played the updates long enough to experience trinkets yet! lol

tender bloom
#

NPC gives you one in dialogue?

dense solstice
#

started playing 1.6 after a loooong hiatus and got almost immediately consumed with my new hobby of learning to mod the game instead.

elfin stirrup
#

of course adding custom trinkets thru content packer would be encouraged too, but mechanics are what im focused on

tender bloom
#

so probably some C# there

#

you'll want to decompile and take a look at what adds the slot

elfin stirrup
#

ok

tender bloom
#

there's a framework mod for trinkets

lucid iron
#

when i made trinket mod i balanced it around being available late in the game

#

endgame content is important sleep

elfin stirrup
teal bridge
#

Trinkets are definitely OP early game so this would be a cheat mod, but of course, that's OK if that's the intent.

lucid iron
#

opening slot is as easy as incrementing the trinket_slot stat

teal bridge
#

I believe the triggers for trinkets are fairly specific and hard-coded so yeah, you can't do that with Content Patcher alone.

elfin stirrup
teal bridge
#

(Does opening the slot make them drop, though?)

lucid iron
#

yea

#

CanSpawnTrinket is just f.stats.Get("trinketSlots") != 0

#

that said i would prob change this blobcatgooglyblep

uncut viper
#

(you can also patch that with BETAS too—)

teal bridge
#

Ok, then I guess it is possible with CP.

lucid iron
#

and make some weaker trinkets that u can buy

#

but ban the vanilla fairly strong stuff u kno

teal bridge
#

Like the L4 Parrot. Money printer go brrrrr.

lucid iron
#

this framework doesn't have any features for unlocking slot its for making custom trinkets

elfin stirrup
#

yeah

#

thanks

latent mauve
#

I mean, I personally like the idea of some trinkets being available at max friendship with the people who love them, even if you don't have Mastery yet

#

Random NPC gift trinket sometime after max hearts could be cute.

uncut viper
#

the problem is just to use it you have to enable the drops of every other trinket too

elfin stirrup
#

@lucid iron i'm a beginner at C# so if you could help me out if i need it, i'd appreciate that

lucid iron
#

just ask here

elfin stirrup
#

thanks

lucid iron
#

but trinket tinker isnt for C#

#

u just edit in the data with content patcher

elfin stirrup
#

yeah

latent mauve
lucid iron
#

yea that'd work Bolb

uncut viper
#

i mean you'd have to patch every trinket in the game

lucid iron
#

do an edit conditioned on having mastery for the vanilla ones

teal bridge
lucid iron
#

u cant control modded ones but there arent that many PecoSmile

latent mauve
#

There aren't many vanilla ones, so that's not too bad.

#

only 8 entries

#

The variants aren't separated

uncut viper
#

can you do an OR with two separate tokens on a when condition in CP?

#

or do you just mean make it only check for mastery

#

not mastery or friendship

#

(also can CP tokens even check mastery)

lucid iron
#

oh no i was thinking like

  1. edit data can drop to false until u get mastery on the 8 vanilla trinkets
lucid iron
#

i think u can do stat tho

uncut viper
#

not with CP

lucid iron
#

but i forgor why i went for anvil recipe

uncut viper
#

you'd need esca's mod to add a Stat token

lucid iron
#

anvil recipe it is then

teal bridge
latent mauve
#

You know how we had that one code block to set every vanilla NPC to be false for WinterStarGiftParticipants? Could do a similar code to hit all the trinkets at once.

uncut viper
#

i dont know how, no

latent mauve
#

we absolutely had one, it's in this or the NPC thread

lucid iron
#

but if u need other C# stuff in ur mod anyways

uncut viper
#

i mean im not doubting you did im just saying i dont remember/know it

lucid iron
#

u can just do smth about CanSpawnTrinket

uncut viper
#

patching every single trinket and also not accounting for modded ones doesnt seem like a very good solution to me personally

#

but it is not my mod

latent mauve
#

Found it

elfin stirrup
#

where would i write CanSpawnTrinket f.stats.Get("trinketSlots") != 0

lucid iron
#

CanSpawnTrinket is a method

elfin stirrup
#

ok

lucid iron
#

you can suffix patch it to check for something besides trinketSlots

latent mauve
#

I don't know how to do C#, I only know CP

elfin stirrup
#

definitely got to crawl before i can walk lol

lucid iron
#

i'd say u worry about CanSpawnTrinket rules later PecoSmile

#

to unlock the slot u just gotta do Game1.player.stats.Set("trinketSlots", 1);

#

either in ur C# mod or through BETAS

uncut viper
#

or with a trigger action

lucid iron
#

is stat up a vanilla action

uncut viper
#

yes

#

IncrementStat

lucid iron
#

ah nice thats all then sleep

Yeah I said that as soon as you confirmed it's just a stat check, lol... it's a 5-line JSON.

#

Obviously would massively break early game balance without additional work, but that's the starting point.

elfin stirrup
#

do u have anywhere to reference that for JSON

lucid iron
#

i think it'd be fun if u just

#

straight up banned all vanilla trinkets from random drop

#

and reassign them to villagers

#

maybe jas gifts u a fairy box is u gift her a fairy rose at 10 hearts Dokkan

teal bridge
#

Interesting idea, but then you'd also need a different progression system for trinket tiers.

lucid iron
#

the anvil's still locked behind mastery yea

#

unfortunately i think vanilla trinkets all spawn with random level bolbthinking

teal bridge
#

Eh, I've never used anvil at all, just kill a bunch of enemies until the high-level trinket drops.

rancid temple
#

Yeah, anvil too expensive

teal bridge
#

The anvil mechanic could use some work - having it be RNG-based is bleh.

rancid temple
#

That's fair, I would pay the price if it wasn't random

elfin stirrup

unfortunately i didnt do anything about that in trinket tinker either Dokkan

besides making it impossible to roll the same level cus thats dum

can Level cap be expanded with CP or do u need C#?

lucid iron
#

level cap?

elfin stirrup
#

each stat/skill is capped at 10

teal bridge
#

Surprisingly, a Nexus search doesn't turn up any anvil mods. I guess late-game mechanics don't get a ton of attention.

lucid iron
#

thats a whole other mod

rancid temple
#

Uncapping player level seems like the kind of thing that you'd be better off writing a new game instead

teal bridge
lucid iron
#

definitely C#, but i think there's skill prestige that let u go to 20?

brave fable
#

level extender used to exist, but not for a long time

lucid iron
#

or was it some other name

teal bridge
#

(And how many mods out there assume 10 levels? Probably also hundreds)

rancid temple
#

For some reason I thought prestige was 100 lol

lucid iron
#

the usual approach to like

brave fable
#

spacecore at least assumes 10 hahah, i wouldn't screw with skills when custom skills exist

lucid iron
#

late game leveling type things

#

would just be adding whole new skills

rancid temple
#

oh Skill Prestige is just for resetting to get additional professions

lucid iron
#

oh ok

teal bridge
#

New skills or special quests are both OK progression mechanics.

lucid iron
#

its less about design and more about not exploding everyone else's mod

teal bridge
#

Careful of skill bloat, though, you don't want Rune Factory's "you have researched breathing" meme bait.

elfin stirrup

#

The code and error in question

#

It's been so long since I cracked this open I'm having trouble figuring this out lol

teal bridge
#

I remember looking at that for the Krobus mod, I think itemPriceAndStock used to just have integers as the value instead of ItemStockInformation.

#

Although I think there's something missing from this example. Like some issue with dependencies. It's not the code itself.

#

Like, why is it trying to load StardewValley.ItemStockInformation from the TakeItSlow assembly instead of the StardewValley assembly? There's some broken reflection involved here, I think.

wooden cypress
#

How do i go about debugging that

teal bridge
#

At the moment it's not even clear how or when you're encountering the error - you posted the error but not the repro steps, full stack trace, SMAPI log, etc.

lucid iron
#

this ItemStockInformation thing changed types

#

if u just rebuild against 1.6.14 it'll work i think

wooden cypress
#

i'll give it a shot

Yeah, it sounds like either a bad dependency or bad reflection, although the error is misleading in that case.

yeah rebuilding just worked

is there a concise list of Item IDs anywhere, esp for 1.6 items?

acoustic summit
brave fable
#

if you want up-to-date game data, it's best to unpack the game content

#

or alternatively, patch export data/objects from the SMAPI console in a loaded save

#

though that'll give parsed item data, not source

elfin stirrup
#

i unpacked it with the .exe

tender bloom
#

!springobjects

ocean sailBOT
#

Most vanilla object sprites are in the Maps/springobjects asset. See a table of springobject sprites by index.

Some newer object sprites are in TileSheets\Objects_2. You can check the entry in Data/Objects to see where its sprite is stored; SpriteIndex is the position, and Texture is the asset name (defaulting to Maps/springobjects).

To use this command, type !springobjects.
tender bloom
#

I look here for most numeric IDs

#

and in the game data otherwise

brave fable

ah well they said especially for 1.6 items

which don't appear in that table at all

those just have names tho

you didnt follow content patcher's format

Hello

#

Back from grave

elfin stirrup
#

Hi

#

How do I make custom letters?

faint ingot
#

Akai asking my question may help answer yours : ) --- I have the following code which sends a letter at 8 hearts: { "Action": "EditData", "Target": "Data/TriggerActions", "Entries": { "sdvhead.LawAndOrderSV_Russell_Mail_8heart": { "Id": "sdvhead.LawAndOrderSV_Russell_Mail_8heart", "Trigger": "DayEnding", "Condition": "PLAYER_FRIENDSHIP_POINTS Current Russell 2002", "Actions": [ "AddMail Current sdvhead.LawAndOrderSV_RussellClinic", ] } } },

#

I want to add a condition that the player has also seen an event, can someone help with that? The examples I see on the wiki all have only one condition

#

and actually I think I figured out my own question about adding a condition, I can just do it further down with a "when" after "entries" instead of putting multiple conditions in the triggeraction

proven spindle
#

And the game state queries wiki page should have the wording needed for that specific condition

faint ingot
#

unrelated question (i'm knocking things off my checklist here) : ) ---- I have an event near Jodi's house, and I have the viewport set at (10,88) which is very far left, often resulting in a blacked out portion of the screen on the left. Is there like a 'minimum x' i should use or other way to force the viewframe not to leave the map?

elfin stirrup
proven spindle
faint ingot
#

you need to create an entry in Data\Mail, for example "Action": "EditData", "Target": "Data/Mail", "Entries": { "sdvhead.LawAndOrderSV_RussellClinic": "{{i18n:Events.239791004.Mail1}}", }, in this case I store the text of the letter in my i18n file, check the wiki i linked for more info

faint ingot
#

Hmmmm I probably need a few more events before I can be done with my mod... one NPC has heart events at 2 / 4/ 6 / 8, and the other at 2 / 6/ 8 / 10. So one is missing a 'dating' event and neither have 14heart marriage events

🤔 unless there's something else that can support high def portraits

I tried putting it in the portraiture mod folder, but it didn't change, so I don't know what to do...

hard fern

are you sure it's named correctly?

open summit

Both png files have the same name.

hard fern
#

ok, can you show where you're putting these pngs?

open summit
#

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Mods\Portraiture\Portraits\mycharacter

is "mycharacter" a folder, or the png

open summit
#

Sorry, it's a folder.
It contains the files I want to replace.

and you hit P to change the portraits, right?

open summit

When I press P in-game, the folder name changes, but the portrait remains the same.

I'm not sure SpaceCore is designed to handle the whole portrait at once

The purpose of TextureOverrides in the first place is for animations

The cramming a bigger image into a smaller space was only added recently, so might still need further tweaks

blissful saddle

You can use Scale Up 2, I was hoping to at least create an example of doing this with SpaceCore but I'm not about to target every frame

unless regrowable crops are hardcoded to use like. the 8th sprite instead of just +1 on the harvestable sprite index

i'm confusing that with text operations bc i was fiddling with them at the same-ish time

so like,
"TargetField":["273","Texture"] to hit the rice texture? i think?

wait no not that far

just "TargetField":["273"] ?

You could just use Fields for this

Got a weird bug if anyone's available to help? I'm making a custom wedding mod with temp map locations and 5 of the 7 are working perfectly fine but 2 are moving the farmer down one tile for some reason SDVpufferthinkblob The code doesn't change, I just swap out the co-ordinates via dynamic tokens depending on the config/map, and I've confirmed all the co-ordinates are correct

#

The particularly weird thing is that I'm using queries to adjust everyone's event co-ordinates in sync with the farmer's, and they're in the correct positions on those two maps but the farmer isn't

tiny zealot
#

which are the two maps? they might have some wacky player position code in them

slender badger
#

I used the desert and Flower Dance maps as a base for them SDVpufferthinkblob Might also be because I extended them up & to the left when creating them?

tiny zealot
#

i'm not sure what the bug is but i did see your viewport is -1000 -100 which may be intended to be -1000 -1000, and you have a warp [SpouseActor] 28 6 in there which does not seem right

#

(i don't think the 100/1000 one matters, really; i only know -1000 -1000 is the magic "don't render stuff" position. -100 is still safely way off screen)

slender badger
#

They're both copied from the original wedding event code SDVpuffersquee But I'll fix those up, thanks

tiny zealot
#

fair! i haven't looked at that in some time

slender badger
tiny zealot
#

i mean in the C# code for the location; Desert i know has all the bus stuff hardcoded into it so i suspected it was one of the problem areas SDVpuffersquee

slender badger
#

Ah, so it wouldn't affect things for a temp map?

tiny zealot
#

that i don't know, sorry. if the temp map still ends up using the Locations.Desert class then it might use special player position behavior (if any of it would even cause this. i'm mostly spitballing)

slender badger
#

Hm, that could make sense if it's trying to move the player down one like when getting off the bus SDVpufferthinkblob

more or less what i was thinking of!

Is it harder to use the outdated shoptiled framework, or used the 1.6 content patcher thingy.

serene tapir

Definitely use the CP shopdata stuff imo, outdated mods can't be expected to continue support indefinitely, and there's more current documentation for CP

tiny zealot

i never used shop tile framework. i would not use it now, since it's no longer useful

But which one is simpler tbh?

i find CP simpler, but each person is different, even twins

desert pagoda

so the tiled framework has some complexities that CP doesnt?

Understood

slender badger
#

Okay, Ichor, apparently 33 13 on the desert map is just a cursed tile

#

No idea what the hell is going wrong, but the farmer does not want to stand on it. I ended up just shifting the entire ceremony down a tile SCsigh

i'm glad you found a working solution, but what the actual hell (i couldn't find anything to go on)

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.

My code: { "LogName": "Earth Balloon_A", "Action": "EditData", "Target": "spacechase0.SpaceCore/TextureOverrides", "Entries": { "Earth Obelisk": { "TargetTexture": "{{InternalAssetKey: assets/animation/Earth Obelisk.png}}", "TargetRect": { "X": 0, "Y": 0, "Width": 48, "Height": 128 }, "SourceTexture": "{{InternalAssetKey: assets/animation/Earth Obelisk.png}}:0..24@5", }, }, "When": { "Earth Obelisk": true, "Animation": true } },

...okay, not sure why, but the animation is working now but it really made SinZ's Several Spouse Spots mad at me when I patch reloaded just the HotAirBalloons mod.

yep, patch reload oddity, since it doesn't throw the angry error from Several Spouse Spots if I just load up and build the obelisk again.

# lucid iron instead u can do draw layer

I don't know how that works in this case, as the obelisk is a balloon that is constantly floating up and down, rather than there being any static element like the mill that just has one animated element on top.

I am converting a CPA mod for personal use, Spacecore seemed the least mentally taxing to make it work since I already have it on one of my saves

Is it possible to hide the farmer's shadow during an event? HideShadow seems to work only for NPCs

There isn't a way I know of offhand, but what about swapping their positions so the NPC hides it?

actually I was just thinking I'll try warping the farmer several tiles away and giving them a huge offset... wish me luck

I has another question:
To target the dialogue for the travelling merchant would it go like "TargetField": [ "Traveler", "Owners", "AnyOrNone", "Default", "RandomDialogue" ],
Or did I go too far o-o?

Question, do I need to do the appearance in the dispos of my custom npc if I do not have seperate outfits?

brittle ledge
#

If you only have one set of portraits/sprites you should just need a regular load, so no

rancid temple
#

Appearance is optional, technically you could achieve the same thing with some insane separate edits lol

light bramble
#

Ok, and then I can also make stuff based on a configurable thing right? Like using GMC to allow a user to switch between two sprite sets right?

eternal mortar
#

can i change the appearance of like a building on certain times or days? for example putting up a closed sign or something. (please ping.)

faint ingot
#

dang positionOffset takes the shadow with it

light bramble
#

is there a wiki post on how to do config schema?

rancid temple
#

Easiest way I can think of to have the config affect the sprite would just be to have it affect which sprite it's loading

#

Though I think that method would require restarting the day or sleeping

uncut viper
#

or a quicker updaterate

light bramble
#

Yeah I just wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing was correct lol. Need to do some updating for other mods and I kinda forgot how to do the config schema in content patcher

Try to stop on the level before your key, which in this case, is RandomDialogue

tardy adder
#

Oh 😮 thanky

latent mauve
#

RandomDialogue (when there are entries and it's not null) is a list, though, so unless you're trying to completely replace it, you may be better off appending entries to it.

tardy adder
#

o-o

latent mauve
#

What specifically are you targeting in the Travelling shop setup?

tardy adder
#

just adding some dialogue to the random dialogue for immersion that the travelling shop has goods from this other region

latent mauve
#

(AnyOrNone is a Name, not an ID, so I'm not sure your setup is targeting what you think it will right now)

tardy adder
#

Unless I am reading it wrong

latent mauve
#

ah, that one

#

I was looking at Default / down one more level

#

Are you trying to add stuff where I have "HERE" highlighted?

tardy adder
#

yesh :3

latent mauve
#

Okay, so you'll probably want to TextOperations Append to that RandomDialogue list, I think

tardy adder
#

SDVpufferthinkblob Imma try that then

latent mauve
#

If the lines had their own keys, you would be able to just add Entries, but since they don't, AFAIK you'd have to append to the comma-delimited list to avoid overwriting what's already there.

#

(If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me)

#

Well, can always test it out :3

Each flavor also has it's on texture and the little icons can be disabled.

I screwed up...but I don't know where I screwed up...https://smapi.io/log/3854d52aad6544768e1dfa14ea9f14e5

I'm trying to get my NPC to load. Idk if it's because I was stupid and forgot to create the map for the home location or if something else happened...But I'm following the tutorial by Tiakal...

ocean sailBOT
#

Log Info: SMAPI 4.1.8 with SDV 1.6.14 build 24317 on Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise, with 11 C# mods and 1 content packs.

brittle ledge
#

If the home location you set doesn't exist (e.g., you didn't load in the custom map) the NPC will cease to exist, yeah.

#

Try setting home to a vanilla location.

#

If that fails, I have some other notes at the bottom of the tutorial but generally it's an issue with a failed load

uncut viper
#

that error has to do with the portraits though

light bramble
#

I'm currently writing the json to load in the hom local. I'm just concerned by the FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Content\Portraits\n3rdgirl.GlitchFarmer_Glitch.xnb'.

brittle ledge

Check your load patch

#

Could be a typo, could be a missing file, could be loading to the wrong place

light bramble
#

uncut viper
#

check where you're loading your portraits

light bramble

Imma dumbass

THERE'S AN "S"

so I was loading into Portrait/{{ModID}}_Glitch instead of Portraits/{{ModID}}_Glitch

#

brittle ledge
#

Yep, that'd do it

#

You found yours significantly quicker than I found mine with Wren SBVLmaoDog

blissful saddle
#

ok... let's say I add a new item with the ID name MaxRW.ModName_ItemName.

How can I summon the item with SMAPI console? using player_add MaxRW.ModName_ItemName 1 returns There is no item with the qualified ID MaxRW.ModName_ItemName

#

I just exported the data where it should be put and it shows up there

light bramble
brittle ledge
blissful saddle
#

so player_add (O)MaxRW.ModName_ItemName 1?

brittle ledge
#

Yeah, since it's asking for a qualified ID I thought it might need the prefix.

blissful saddle
#

ok, it worked

brittle ledge
#

(I am assuming it's an object and not like clothing or a craftables or something)

blissful saddle
#

now I have a new error lol

#

it is a BigCraftable, so I used (BC). and I got the idea

#

I usually switch qualified with unqualified IDs sometimes...

#

now I need to take care of the texture

20241205192728_1.jpg
#

also it should be a chest, but it doesn't have chest interaction. Any direction to what I need to add to it work as a chest?

brittle pasture
#

if this is CP, you need Expanded Storage

#

if C#, a wee bit of harmony

blissful saddle
#

I see. So chests require hard code

brittle pasture
#

yeh

blissful saddle
#

any example for the wee bit of harmony?

#

I swan through some chests mods in nexus, but or they were predated or just new textures through AT

brittle pasture
#

those would be either Expanded Storage or AT

#

if you don't mind an additional dependency I'd just use XS tbh

#

why do it from scratch when someone else already did it for you

blissful saddle
#

because I want to do both

#

It will be part of my spoilage mod, a built-in cooler-chest that one can use like a minifridge outside the farm

#

and if anyone is using the Ice Cooler already in the 6480 Variety Mod (and thus already using the Expanded Storage), the Ice Cooler will act like this

#

my take is just make a built-in option to people that don't want to have more requirements

#

I will take a look at XS code. thanks you both SDVpufferheart

Ok I now have a new issue. The locked doors aren't working for the npc. I have a TileData with Action LockedDoor Warp 8 5 n3rdgirl.GlitchFarmer_GlitchAttic 600 2600 n3rdgirl.GlitchFarmer_Glitch 500 but it's not showing anything, and when cheating the hearts to at least 2 it still doesn't work.

I found the first transpiler and so that's it

#

I will delegate it to sorcery

calm nebula
#

(I will say that updating mods to 1.6, even c#, is pretty straightforward.)

#

Depending on how bad your transpjler addiction was, it may even be easy!

#

Also I'm very much team "I'll do it myself" which may explain why my mods do not work on 1.6 because I'm lazy

blissful saddle
#

yeap, no. One day I will learn to read IL. I had my days with assembler and hex already though

#

and I just don't want to copy 17 patches without understand what they are doing

lucid iron
#

IL pretty readable tbh

blissful saddle
#

I don't doubt. I just don't want to learn right now

#

I am yet learning some c# things

lucid iron
#

I think the bigger reason to use a framework is so that u don't double up on the patches

blissful saddle
#

I agree

#

but as someone that feel like needing control of what I am doing, CP is already sorcery to me because I don't understand the mechanics behind, and yet it works

lucid iron
#

But if I was gonna do this custom storage thing in lazy way I'd probably just make the big object secretly hold a (BC)130 chest and do a little bit of spaget to open said chest

blissful saddle
#

transpilers and IL are deep magic in comparison

lucid iron
#

This is essentially how enrichers work in vanilla

With their sad little 1x1 chest

#

Dependencies are also just a bit scary to commit to, like what if x updates or months later the framework breaks and isn't updated, but you want to continue work? I'd rather do more myself than worry about needing to do it later in a way

#

I would yet need to differentiate if an item is in a normal chest or in my 'chest' for what I want to do

Mostly out of curiosity, how feasible would it be to make a mod that makes Lewis and The Player shake hands during the Intro Cutscene? I imagine it would require a custom animation (unless there is already a handshake animation somewhere) and modifications to the cutscene to insert the animation, right?

uncut viper
#

i havent actually watched the intro cutscene in forever so i dont even remember lewis being there but the cutscene is a Minigame and not an event so its not something you can touch without C#

rancid temple
#

Probably mean the event that happens before your first day where Lewis and Robin show you your house

uncut viper
#

is that an event-event? i havent seen that in forever either lmao

rancid temple
#

Not sure, I assume it's an event, it's skippable

wraith meteor
#

Ye, I mean the skipable cutscene/whatever where Lewis and Robin show your house

uncut viper
#

i dont see any references to lewis in Data/Events/Farm or Data/Events/FarmHouse so if its an event idk where itd be

rancid temple
#

Seems like it's on BusStop

#

But yeah, I mean, creating a custom handshake animation and inserting it into the event wouldn't be impossible

wraith meteor
rancid temple
#

Eh, I would have assumed you would just start in the farmhouse, since there's no reason to place the player at the bus stop before the game even begins

#

Events frequently trigger in places they aren't actually in and also move to other locations, it's all faked so it doesn't really matter

wraith meteor
#

IDK, that uncertain primate fellow is a strange one sometimes. It does at least make narrative sense if not technical sense ¯_(ツ)_/¯

lucid iron
#

i thought that event starts with u getting off the bus

#

or was that part of minigame

uncut viper
#

minigame ends by sending you to the bus stop

#

which then starts the event

rancid temple
#

Events usually start during the screen fade right?

uncut viper
#

im not sure anymore bc i feel like i have both memories of walking into an area and immediately being in an event and also memories of walking into an area, loading in, then seeing another fade to black for an event

#

so im not a reliable person to ask

blissful saddle
#

you don't have character control until the first day has started, after reaching Stardew Valley and being introduced to Lewis and Robin

#

if I remember it right Lewis takes the farmer on the Bus Stop and brings them to the farm where Robin is looking at the cabin

#

not sure when the minigame ends and the event starts though

uncut viper
#

event starts with you getting off the bus

Hey @brave fable! Passing along a bug report for the current version of LoC and how it uses Better Crafting's API. IRecipe.CraftingRecipe is potentially null and you're using it without a null check in the PostCraft event handler here: https://github.com/b-b-blueberry/CooksAssistant/blob/master/LoveOfCooking/Interface/Interfaces.cs#L121

It's nullable since people can theoretically add crafting recipes to BC that aren't based on vanilla crafting at all, like my add-on for it to craft buildings. But it's a nice easy fix at least. 😄

brittle ledge
#

Honestly if I was doing something like that I'd just use some trickery and put the moving part of the farmer's handshake on Lewis's sprite and have them close enough together that you can't tell it's Lewis's sprite adding the farmer handshake

#

(You'd also probably need a few variants to cover skintone and I'm not sure if there's a non-C# way to reach that though. I suppose you could make it a config?)

rancid temple
#

(just make them hug EZ)

inner harbor
#

I"d just chose the farmer's frame that had the closest to a handshake position.

rancid temple
#

Is there a way to pop up an image during an event?

inner harbor
#

maybr frame 34 or 35? Although the feet may be a little weird , the hand's in the right place, approx.

#

then use positionoffset to make them kiss hug shake

Could do some manga style action pop up of a handshake

Just move them close and fake it til you make it

sorry for very belated reply but ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ salmence's vid shouting me out prompted me to check back in because im feeling v over the moon so i went and checked if there had been any chatter in this server about my mod... all my stuff is absolutely CC-BY so if I ever disappear permanently either thru falling out of love w/ stardew or life getting in the way in some form or another, you have my explicit permission to "keep circulating the tapes" so to speak, and to improve upon it as you see fit

blissful saddle
#

Since @tawny ore is reading here, I will just throw the issues:

As reported on the forum in the Expanded Storage page, Better Chests overwrites 6480's custom chests storage and other configs, making them work as a default chest under it's control.

To avoid this and keeping things config-lite, I decided to complete my mod without requiring Better Chests, and so I discovered the Expanded Storage isFridge property is, in reality, Better Chests dependent.

What is more strange is that, if one has Better Chests installed, put the custom chest on a map (or has the custom chest on a map while Better Chests is installed), and so uninstalls it, the isFridge property keeps working after that. But if one never installs Better Chests, the isFridge property does nothing.

To circumvent it I added a context tag in my custom chest and made my spoilage to check for it in addition to checking if the chest is a fridge, and it worked very well. But yet, things to be saw.

I will format it better and put in the mod's page once I have my brain fully functional again

tawny ore
#

Also I think the first part is a bit backwards. Without Better Chests, all of the 6480 chests will function exactly as vanilla chests. It's only with Better Chests that they're able to have customized behavior like different chest sizes, filters, etc.

Do any of you happen to know a programmatic way to get the currency symbol in a c# mod, assuming it's not just "g" in all languages? Maybe a function that the standard game code uses? I'm having a real hard time finding anything...

I got my custom chest to work as intended implemented with your framework, so thanks a lot

brittle pasture
#

I'm trying to decide between this and just reviving/reimplementing Bigger Craftables, and so far I feel the latter is simpler tbh
I have to roll IL to call the base Object version of Furniture's performObjectDropInAction (for input rules), checkForAction (for collecting and reloading), minutesElapsed (to make time actually pass for processing machines), clicked (to prevent the farmer from just instantly picking up a processing furniture machine), maximumStackSize (granted this is easy, just return 999), some other obscure logic I'm probably forgetting (for idk). Soon I'd need to override draw code as well (to draw animations/ready bubbles)
whereas with Bigger Craftables I just need to override draw (which I have to do anyway), collision and placement

#

hmm there's also mod compat, dunno how many mods are going to be tripped by furniture being able to use machine rules. I think UI Info won't show ready time on hover

If anyone here has experience with MonoGame in general, is there any way to either
(a) fake a GraphicsDevice (primary goal) or
(b) create a window handle that works with PresentationParameters without using Winforms, so it'll run on Linux/Mac (possible XY problem)? or
(c) create a window handle with Winforms, but somehow do it without targeting the -windows runtime?

#

I also tried looking into MAUI but it's so heavily abstracted, I just gave up. I just want "winit for .net".

brittle pasture
#

what are you trying to do? I have zero idea about MonoGame internals, I'm just curious lol

teal bridge

It ultimately all comes down to creating a Texture2D instance without the game running.

Can you not do something like what StardewXNBHack does to launch a controlled version of the game? Or, if not the game, then a similar monogame project.

teal bridge

Maybe. I'm not entirely sure how to wrangle all those statics and avoid making the tests very leaky and non-hermetic.

#

Technically the "shared windows form" has that problem too - but it's one shared thing as opposed to hundreds of them...

At a certain point you have to give up and pick complete accuracy or performance for the tests.
