file names...

[brittle ledge]

the actual .png and .json names don't really matter as long as you load them to the right place

so you don't have to rename your actual files

[faint ingot]

just let me be grump OK I'm having a George moment

[brittle ledge]

(I assume you're not using i18n?)

[faint ingot]

I am using it

[brittle ledge]

oh, in that case you would be able to replace everything that's not in your i18n, I think

and then if you don't want to change the file names, just switch those back. Shouldn't be too many

[uncut viper]

tbh i see why you wouldnt want to but it might actually be quicker to just ctrl F literally everything and then just launch the game and play error whack-a-mole as it points you to which places need fixing lol

[faint ingot]

yeah I get it, and actually I've been pleasantly surprised that so far I haven't broken anything with my changes

for a second after I did a search/replace I looked at a comment line and wondered why it didn't put {{ModId}}_ in front of my NPC's name in the comment

it's because I misspelled his name 😛

[tiny zealot]

you can make a dynamic token for your NPC's internal name so you can use the token in event scripts.
typing and reading {{Russell}} isn't as nice as plain Russell but it beats sdvhead.LongIrritatingModName_Russell

[faint ingot]

OK, thank you for the suggestion, so it would look like this in my content.json, correct? "DynamicTokens": [ { "Name": "{{Russell}}", "Value": "sdvhead.LawAndOrder_Russell" }, ]

[tiny zealot]

{
  "Name": "Russell",
  "Value": "{{ModId}}_Russell"
}```
should do it

[faint ingot]

I would just like to thank you all for ruining my Friday night

[light bramble]

Question, where do I find the sprite icons for the animals?

found them

[brave fable]

for future reference, Data/FarmAnimals lists the ShopTexture and ShopSourceRect for each animal

[light bramble]

So question, I'm following what Ichor did for their pet mod...But I don't quite understand what it is they are doing? like this part here:

          "IconTexture": "Mods/{{ModId}}/Icons",```
I don't get it. Are they making subfolders? or is that just something that you can do?

and before you link me to modding pets on the wiki, I have it open but there's nothing that explains this for me....

[uncut viper]

those are just asset names

they are what you Load t hings into

[hard fern]

it's the texture location

[uncut viper]

theyre not folders and not files, its not like a file system

if you did like "Action": "Load", "Target": "ExampleCatTex" then you would put "Texture": "ExampleCatTex"

naming your asset names like Mods/ModId/whatever is just a common convention

but its just a name for a thing

a single thing

[light bramble]

It looks like a file path 😭

[uncut viper]

it does. but it is not a file path

it is a common confusion though

[light bramble]

This is why we need a tut on making pets...like I don't know what half the things in the wiki do or even how to make them work

Like it makes little to no sense for me 😭

[hard fern]

oof i gotta finish events for my mod

[uncut viper]

its the same concept for anything with a texture, not just pets

i dont know enough about the other pet specific fields to offer any more specific guidance here, though, sorry

[light bramble]

Ok, I get that now, but like...this stuff... Behaviors like how in the heck do I know what to put? Or the bark sound? or anything else. The wiki doesn't do a good enough job at explaining for me

like some say are optional but I still don't get it

Ichor...can you halp plz

[latent mauve]

Unless you want a custom sound or behavior, you can just copy the values from the original dogs

In Data/Pets

[light bramble]

:Sob:

I feel so dumb

[latent mauve]

Are you adding the dog as a completely new pet, or just a new breed of dog?

(Breeds are way simpler)

this is all the dog breed section uses

[light bramble]

new breeds of dog

            "Target": "Data/Pets",
            "TargetField": ["Dog", "Breeds"],```

is what I am doing

[serene quarry]

Thank you for code.
I try to got error message that I dont know 😦

[Content Patcher] Ignored NPC Yamionisama > EditData Data/Festivals/summer11 #2: TextOperations > 1 is invalid: the Target value 'set-up{{FestivalYear}}' couldn't be parsed: '{{FestivalYear}}' can't be used as a token because that token could not be found.

[uncut viper]

{{FestivalYear}} is a custom DynamicToken they set up, you'll need to make your own if you want to do it exactly like tiakall does

[latent mauve]

the screenshot I posted is the bare minimum for the vanilla dog breeds, so it's a lot less overwhelming.

All you'd need to change for your own breed is the Id, Texture, and IconTexture values, really.

[light bramble]

Puts on dunce cap I really am the dumb

[latent mauve]

Nah, you just got lost in the wiki, it's understandable

[light bramble]

I feel that the wiki can be both friendly to my autistic self but also very very unfriendly

XD

[latent mauve]

But yeah, for breeds, the only things that really matter if you don't want custom barks or anything are the appearance-related fields

[serene quarry]

Oh animation token!
is it right?

[uncut viper]

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/tokens.md#dynamic-tokens

[light bramble]

Ok ok ok, another question...do I need any of this????

Or like will it be fine?

[brittle ledge]

I put the setup I used for my {{FestivalYear}} dynamic token here! (Note: dynamic tokens have to go in content.json, they can't be in includes) https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:_Making_a_Custom_NPC#Festivals

[serene quarry]

thank you!

[latent mauve]

If you're targeting the Breed field, then no, you don't need any of that.

[light bramble]

ok thank gosh

well imma go to sleep XD

[latent mauve]

haha, rest well!

[faint ingot]

OK... of all the problems to pop up after I fixed all my NPC names... I didn't expect the ladder to disappear?? I don't even do anything with it in the event, it is just part of the TMX file

WHERE is my ladder??

[teal crest]

what layer name that ladder is?

[faint ingot]

oh wait its showing the wrong tmx file... the problem is in my content.json

that makes more sense

[teal crest]

ok

[faint ingot]

thanks for trying to help though I appreciate you

[teal crest]

excuse me, does anyone know how "KissSpriteFacingDirection" works?

I wrote as

"KissSpriteIndex": 51,
"KissSpriteFacingDirection": false,
it displays Kiss sprite itself, but it wont change direction true or false either.

[brave fable]

you want "KissSpriteFacingRight": false

[teal crest]

ok, I'll try

[teal crest]

Thank you, it works!

[brave fable]

ah, the agony of apparently having to add a single new translation entry in a +0.0.1 update

[rancid musk]

I am so bad about my translations. I mean I keep all my strings localizable but I am very used to not having to think about it at all because backend magic happens and translations get merged and deployed without me doing a darn thing.

[brave fable]

imagine merging and deploying translations 😌

i throw mere crumbs into the wind and translators swoop in and upload their own

such a wealth of power

[rancid musk]

I do kind of wish there was just one big crowdin or whatever for Stardew mods where translations could live and automatically happen.

[brave fable]

BC really does highlight the absurdity of cooking everything in a frying pan

yeah i wish translators and users had things a little easier. all the systems we have now work well enough on their own but it doesn't really scale well

maybe cp is the future 🌌

[rancid musk]

Yay you have it working~

Clearly you should just rename it to Freezing Pan if the recipe is ice cream.

[brave fable]

works pretty well! no complaints so far

what's with the token formatting on "@C{red} though? are you manually parsing that or do you somehow have a string formatter that takes named tokens

out of curiosity ofc

[rancid musk]

Manually parsing it. @ to start a sequence, C for foreground color, {...} for the value, and red as a color. You could also use hex if you wanted but may as well just use the name.

[brave fable]

ah i see. i ask since i was desperately trying to use named tokens in string formatting while converting i18n to cp hahah

gave up in the end and just used regular string format via game1.content.loadstring

[rancid musk]

I didn't want to worry about setting up an xml parser, I don't like bbcode, and markdown doesn't have the sort of formatting I'd need so I just kind of implemented that. It is definitely not ideal, but eh

You could get fancier if you wanted. Include a frying pan image or something.

[brave fable]

is that so

[rancid musk]

@M{itemid}

Actually that includes the item name too I think

All the sequences are listed at: https://github.com/KhloeLeclair/StardewMods/blob/main/Almanac/author-guide.md#rich-text

[brave fable]

not bad

[ivory star]

Hii is anyone here familiar with the pspvita? i just wanna ask a few questions about modding

and cos i wanna play stardew on there aswell but idk what its like

[hard fern]

the

...

[brave fable]

it's a lot like modding the gameboy advance

[uncut viper]

are you asking because you wanna make a mod for pspvita or because you wanna use mods on the pspvita. if the latter i think you want #modded-stardew
if you mean the former then i dont know. i dont know how to mod a pspvita

can pspvita run linux

[ivory star]

yes.. the pspvita..

[rancid musk]

I'll be honest I didn't even know there was Stardew for vita

[brittle pasture]

SDV on Vita is 1.02; is there even a SMAPI for that old of a version

[ivory star]

it’s be a use i wanna use mods 😅 im just not sure how since i’ve never really modded anything ever, but tysm ill check the channel out

[hard fern]

you should ask the modded farmers channel then? probably

[brave fable]

hi i have a bug report for almanac. it uses dialog for a font id but the game correctly uses dialogueFont

[brittle pasture]

you probably have better luck asking around on one of those vita hacking discords (disclaimer, this is a hypothetical, I don't know of any)

[rancid musk]

hey look at the time time to sleep

[brave fable]

one day i'll understand why ca chooses to use simplified english throughout the game code, but still holds dialogue in his heart

[ivory star]

i like the way it looks from what i’ve seen in videos

[ivory star]

no worries and thank u sm for the suggestion

[ivory star]

it’s probably the really old version of it

[brave fable]

incredible. you can't even date shane in sdv1.0.2

what a relic

[ivory star]

Lolll

im hoping haley WAS available in that version

omg i hate auto

it’s killing me

[brittle pasture]

assuming you can even run SMAPI on a jailbroken vita (you most likely can't) you'd need a giga old version of it, like 1.something

and giga old versions of associated mods

I suppose you can do XNB replacements, but I'd hardly go through all that trouble just for some retextures

[brave fable]

i'm fairly sure the only mods that even existed at that time were xnb, and they sucked

[ivory star]

im tech-illiterate. giga what and 1 xnb whata 😟

this is my first time modding and i was thinking of getting some guy to do it for me but the difference between the game style worries me /im not sure what i’d need for it ??

[brittle pasture]

hmm vita is running on ARM, so SMAPI is probably right out (as said, assuming you can even run custom executables on it)

[ivory star]

selph im too slow ...!! 😥 what executables what

guys i don’t mind buying stuff for this

and im pretty sure i can mod it directly on the psp

but id need to buy a new or have something higher than 128gb

[uncut viper]

we're saying its basically almost not possible

and that "almost" is probably still not possible

[ivory star]

thank u for the translation

im so slow

and illiterate with technology

[uncut viper]

Vita wont be able to load the modloader, so the only mods you could possibly have are ones that replace the game files, but that assumes the game files are even in the same format. And even if they were, you would need mods that were made in like, 2016

[brittle pasture]

yeah for all we know the vita version uses a custom format, so even XNB is right out

[uncut viper]

And only in 2016

[ivory star]

oh

man

[brave fable]

if you want to mod a game, use a pc. same as it always has been 🌌

[ivory star]

i just wanted to know whether i could mod it on my psvita or not because i usually carry that old thing around with me

[uncut viper]

the answer is unfortunately pretty much no

if its possible at all, no one here would be able to know how

[ivory star]

that’s totally ok, thank u guys so much for responding about it anyways

i atleast got my answer there

i know someone who can mod a few other old games like gta but that’d have to be from what 2015

[brave fable]

(funny to think that the latest gta is an old game, even older than 2015)

[tribal umbra]

Hii! how do i make a custom tilesheet siteable? i've read the wiki but it isn't well explained there and i couldn't make it work

Thanks for anyone who can help ❤️

[uncut viper]

siteable?

[tribal umbra]

you can sit in a custom tilesheet

it's a bench

i've tried to edit the tilesheet but i couldn't make it work

[brittle pasture]

are you following instructions at https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Maps#Sitting_on_non-furniture_chairs

[tribal umbra]

yes but i couldn't make it work

i'm not sure how should i do it by just following these instructions

[brittle pasture]

post your code?

[tribal umbra]

I've tried to add an object propriety but i'm not sure if that's what i'm supposed to do, i'm also not sure if i did write the code right

[tribal umbra]

i've deleted it since it wasn't working 😅 i was hoping to know how should i do it first, since i think i didn't understood how to properly apply the code to the tilesheet

[brittle pasture]

you don't apply anything to the tilesheet

you just add entries to Data/ChairTiles asset referencing your tilesheet

[tribal umbra]

this in the mod code, not in tiled right?

[brittle pasture]

yea

[tribal umbra]

ohhh thx

[timid hawk]

are the mods for mobile?

Android SMAPI is NOT compatible with 1.6

SMAPI isn't updated for Android and does not work past version 1.5.6.39. We don't know if/when it'll be updated or who will update it. It is not possible to legally downgrade to 1.5.6.39, so do not ask how to do this.

[earnest orchid]

is there a repository of item context tags somewhere? I don't mean just the list of context tags, but what tags items have.

[brittle pasture]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Context_tags#List_of_context_tags

keep in mind that mods can add whatever tags they want

you can also run patch export Data/Objects, but that won't catch autogenerated tags

the most surefire way to know what tags an item have is installing Lookup Anything, enabling debug fields and look up an item ingame

[earnest orchid]

alright

I'll see if patch export provides what I was looking for

[brittle pasture]

if you dont install any mods that'd just be the unpacked Data/Objects.json file lol

the command is useful for when you have other mods installed

[woeful lintel]

do you think it would be a good idea to create "Furniture as machine" on top of FF? There's already a lot of stuff that go around vanilla limitations, so it would only be a matter of editing already existing methods instead of having to setup harmony patches.

[distant radish]

Would turning furniture into machines be compatible with mods that alter the behavior of big craftables?

I am really interested in this topic because my next mod, Machine Evolution System, turns furniture into machines

So I was looking for a framework that is able to do this (selph knows about this)

Bigger Craftables was good for this, but the 1.6 version seems… not good

[tall wind]

Hello.
Is it possible to change the dialogue when receiving the mermaid pendant to something NPC specific?
I was looking at the wiki, and there is a section for changing the dialog when the bouquet is received, but there is no section for the pendant, so I was wondering.

[final arch]

this one?

oh Im a bit late
@tall wind

[slender badger]

Tikamin's looking for a NPC-specific dialogue string like the bouquet or unique gift reactions though, while that still affects all NPCs. It'd be possible to do a patch with a When check for whether you're dating the NPC or not, but it wouldn't play nicely with polyam mods

[final arch]

the <NPC_name> does make it NPC specific, no? 🤔

[slender badger]

Huh, possibly? Is that new? I don't remember seeing it with the NPC name before

[final arch]

a thing since 1.4 it seems

[mighty lake]

what's the character limit for dialogue boxes in sdv before it starts to get too crowded?

[livid kite]

Idk if this has been brought, but what about gifting furniture as a feature?

I know quite a few people would like that

[round dock]

From what I know, there isn't really a "limit" per se, but you can just use dialogue keys to separate the dialogue. Like with #$b# or #$e#

(this reminds me of Shane's 99 beers on the wall)

[mighty lake]

thank you! I'm just doing some writing and wanted to know whether I should try to break things up more for readability or if it's okay to keep things on one key

I wanted to avoid breaking things up where it wouldn't make sense to if possible (if that makes sense) so that's good news

[round dock]

If it's a bit too long, I recommend breaking them apart for readability. Besides you can always make use of #$b# to break the sentence but continue on another dialogue box without having to interact with the NPC

[mighty lake]

great advice, thank you much

[round dock]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Dialogue more information here

[mighty lake]

thank you! i've kept it up on my other monitor while working but sometimes have a hard time parsing through everything to find an answer lol

it's my first time doing any sort of game modification so i am completely new xd

[round dock]

Sure! Take your time!

[mighty lake]

currently writing pierre to be a raving conspiracy theorist

teehee

[woeful lintel]

I don't know anything about the mods you're talking about, but since Furniture and Big Craftables are 2 separate class, these mods would not apply to the furniture made into machines if that's what you're asking.

[woeful lintel]

Is it not possible? To be honest, I don't know much about gifts. If you're talking about gifting to villagers, I'm pretty sure it can be made into a mod without any compatibility issue with FF or other mods, it feels like the issue would come from having to give gift taste to every Furniture, which would be a big task, even by grouping them into categories/styles.

Long story short: not the job of the Furniture Framework from what I know about gifts

[nimble marlin]

@rancid musk Hi Khloe! I was trying hard to simplify Weather Wonders code but I notice target fields for edit data doesn't seem to work with it, at least not with every entry. Is this intended or am I doing something wrong? Here's the file:

[livid kite]

I see, no worries. I just know some people were mentioning gifting furniture as a possibility

[mighty lake]

Do you use the condition to keep dialogue from repeating when adding new dialogue for a mod or do you think it's best to leave it normal?

[round dock]

Wdym? Can you expound on that?

[mighty lake]

I was reading a guide for adding it using content patcher and they mentioned that you can use a condition to keep dialogue from repeating again if the player has seen it once already (like once per save)! I was wondering if you think it's a good idea to use that for added dialogue or leave the dialogue in like normal so there's a chance to get it again if you keep talking to the character.

because I'm adding kinda niche lore drops idk if it would be weird for the player to see it again xd

[round dock]

That's completely up to you tbh, you can make dialogue appear on extra specific days like spring_1 for example or make it contingent depending on their heart level, season, year, finishing the CC, etc. or even a mixture of the former.

[hallow prism]

there are different ways to make a dialogue appears only once, but i suggest to keep advanced stuff for once you got the basis (if you got them already, my usual approach for one time dialogue is the flag + kill, but query may work better)

[mighty lake]

thank you both!

i appreciate you taking the time to answer my noob questions

The finishing cc thing is gonna be very helpful

[faint ingot]

I was trying to figure out why my character wasn't following their schedule then saw it includes the spa which is not yet unlocked. So in those cases they revert to the default schedule, is that correct?

[brittle pasture]

if that could be part of FF that would be nice! Just a matter of overriding some of the logic to also call the base Object version of some functions

[woeful lintel]

Once I'm done with 3.0, we can make a thread about it, I'm not sure I'll be able to work on another bug thing for a while, I've got research to do next year.

[brittle pasture]

I did some prior research here and already got some code written

(ignore the assessment, my current opinion is that this is easier than reimplementing bigger craftables logic)

[woeful lintel]

Oh, forgot to go to the end of my thinking here, I mean that I'd be happy if someone takes over for the implementation of this idea, I'll always be available to help with it.

[brittle pasture]

got it! it might be a good idea to release this as my own mod then so I can take care of maintaining it and responding to bug fixes alongside my other machine mods

but I'll be sure to ping you for help if needed (I'm going to have to stare at draw code lol)

[calm nebula]

Lookin forward to my lint producing carpet, selph

[gray linden]

how do i add a crop to the shop that is not available in this season using c#?

[brittle pasture]

if you mean editing an existing crop to remove the season requirement, then just change the condition field in its shop entry
In C#, that would be adding an AssetRequested event, check if it's Data/Shops, then get the SeedShop entry, search for your item in the shop data and change Condition

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/APIs/Content#Edit_a_game_asset

[rancid musk]

You should really be asking other people about that and not me. I am a content patcher novice at best.

[distant radish]

Keep me posted as well! We can use Machine Evolution System to bug test

[lucid iron]

R u gonna make the wobble and the working effects and the TAS work

[brittle pasture]

wobble needs transpilers or skip prefix, working anims is doable (furniture has a field that it uses for rotations that I can hijack), TAS is also doable in a postfix

[lucid iron]

Just skip wobble then I never liked how the keg undulate

Wait rotations

What r u gonna do when people actually just rotate a table then

[brittle pasture]

for the MVP (Maybe Viable Product) I'll just forbid rotatable furniture

as a stretch goals I can add a rotation offset

[gray linden]

im new to this and dumb i still cant get it to work, could you dm me with the code snippet itself? huge thanks in advance

[calm nebula]

Lol

[calm nebula]

No table rotation for you!

[latent mauve]

Per the wiki: the game has special logic for unlockable locations. If this is JojaMart/Railroad and it's not available yet, the game gets the replacement destination from the first entry in the <location>_Replacement schedule if available; otherwise it switches to the default schedule if available, else spring. If this is CommunityCenter and it's not available yet, the game switches to the default schedule if available, else spring.

So basically, you can add a Railroad_Replacement schedule entry to use as a fallback schedule if you are testing a specific schedule

[woeful lintel]

well, my proposition of making this part of FF was to avoid creating unfixable incompatibility. For example with rotation, because FF is already highjacking it (modData will easily take care of animation frame count), and drawing, which I already cleaned a lot to make it easier to have variables like offsets and other animation stuff (I had to do a skipping prefix, because a postfix would only draw over what vanilla draws). It's perfectly fine for a MVP but it would be nice to work together on this.

[unique sigil]

anyone know how to deal with this error? i followed kailey's method of making custom interior doors to add a couple to my farmhouse, but i keep getting this error on renovation to the next house upgrade level (through debug houseupgrade or manually).

at first i suspected it was because of the 2nd upgrade has more doors than the 1st upgrade but it doesnt seem like it? also, the error just totally crashes the game, it loops continuously

[winter dust]

@rain flax hey, I like the mods you made, especially with the sprites and tilesheets in them.

[rain flax]

Thank you, but I don't think I've made any mods that contain tilesheets! Just building mods and the recent one with sake.

[winter dust]

Yeah that's what I mean.

[rain flax]

Ooh gotcha lol, thank you!

I had a lot of fun making them! ☺️

[kindred adder]

question regarding portrait mod etiquette

i'm making a portrait set for a mod in an existing style. currently i'm only doing it for personal use and i know i don't need to ask permission for personal use, but if i did ever want to release it, i should ask the author of the mod i'm making the portraits for and the author of the portrait sets i'm matching, right? and is there anything else i need to think of?

[winter dust]

Are you still open to making more building art and such, or not so much anymore?

[nimble marlin]

I thought it was related to the Cloudy Skies framework because it works with everything else🤔🤔

[brittle pasture]

// Make wheat sellable year round (note, there's another wheat entry for fall so this would create a duplicate. in retrospect I should have picked another seed lol
public void OnAssetRequested(object? sender, AssetRequestedEventArgs e) {
  if (e.NameWithoutLocale.IsEquivalentTo("Data/Shops")) {
    e.Edit(asset => {
      var shopData = asset.AsDictionary<string, ShopData>().Data;
      // This would throw if SeedShop doesn't exist, which should never happens, hopefully
      var seedShop = shopData["SeedShop"];
      var wheatShopEntry = seedShop.Items.Find(entry => entry.Id == "WheatSeeds_Summer");
      if (wheatShopEntry is not null) {
        // Remove the condition that limits this entry to summer
        wheatShopEntry.Condition = null;
      }
    });
  }
}

then add this function to the asset requested handlers

[rancid musk]

If you patch export the file and it looks correct, then it's a Cloudy Skies problem. Otherwise, it's Content Patcher.

Please stop pinging me.

[fallow musk]

a question related to C#
so the main class inherits the Mod class and gets access to its Monitor instance to print logs.
If i move the implementation to some other class, i will always have to pass the Monitor instance in the class' constructor, is there a way to access some logging method directly from secondary classes? I assume only the ModEntry class should inherit the Mod class

[rancid temple]

Just make a public static SMonitor

Assign it in Entry and call it elsewhere with ModEntry.SMonitor

[rancid musk]

You are correct that only the ModEntry class should inherit the Mod class.

I normally just store a static reference to my ModEntry instance itself rather than the monitor specifically.

For harmony patches, which have to live in static classes, I'll store a copy of the monitor in a static field there when setting up the patches.

(Assuming I don't just rely on the ModEntry instance, which definitely happens sometimes too.)

[fallow musk]

got it

[candid stirrup]

I have a problem/question so in the past I've been able to use the wiki to get the size of the pixels and the file's photo I've needed for something for example: one of Sam's portraits I could click on it and I would the pixels size and the sprite then after changing it I could just copy and paste it on the spritesheet as it was the right size.

But today I went to do that with some Joja Furniture thinking it would work like always does but the pixels size on the wiki doesn't match the spritesheet... 😰

[drowsy pewter]

don't use wiki images for your artwork please

Unpack the game and you wont have these problems

Wiki images are upsized so we can see them

I found it can't targetfields, so I just either use dynamic tokes on conditions or make a When patch 👀

If it's your own art from scratch, you don't technically need to ask either, but it's polite/nice to ask both.

[wise river]

how does one turn off the edit then?

[kindred adder]

okay ! i am doing it from scratch, but as it's looking i think there is going to be a lot of similarities with the art itself to the original so i was erring on the side of asking anyhow. thank you! 🫶

[brittle ledge]

You'd have to remove or comment out the code SVE is using to add their edit, which is not necessarily easy but may be easier than editing the map in Tiled.

[fervent horizon]

If I update an asset in the GMCM midgame, is there a way to have the game refresh the asset without having to leave the game and reload

in a c# mod

[gaunt orbit]

yes. GMCM has an "apply config" hook, which you should already be using to write your config file. You can add an InvalidateAsset call there to tell the game to reload the asset when the config changes are applied

[tall wind]

“<NPC name>_Engaged” is the dialog after receiving the mermaid pendant, right?
What I would like to change is the conversation at the time of receipt, i.e.“NPC.cs.3980”: “...!!! $l#$b#I accept!!! $h#$b#... $l#$b#I'll set everything up. We'll have the ceremony in 3 days, okay?$h" .

[rancid temple]

Have you tried adding dialogue for AcceptGift_(O)460?

[vale stream]

Does anyone know if NPC dialogues can be modified?
This dialogue edit works properly:

if(box.dialogues?.Count > num)
{
    var text = box.dialogues[num]?.Replace("$no_player ", "");
    box.dialogues[num] = text;
}

But this one doesn't:

if (box.characterDialogue?.dialogues?.Count > num)
{
    var characterText = box.characterDialogue.dialogues[num]?.Text.Replace("$no_player ", "");
    box.characterDialogue.dialogues[num].Text = characterText;
}

(the code is called for all dialogues, so unless i'm missing something, no clue why it's not applying)

I thought num was at fault, but it's not

[tall wind]

Yes, I tried “AcceptGift_(O)460” but this does not seem to apply.

[rancid temple]

I recall editing that generic NPC line when you're dating the specific NPC was a workaround for this before

[brittle pasture]

Engagement dialogue is here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Dialogue#Strings_from_CS_files

the game falls back to the generic lines above if a specific NPC's isnt found

[rancid temple]

Oh I see, then yeah you would just need to create one for the specific NPC you want, Krobus has one since you don't actually marry Krobus and thus there needs to be a different dialogue for it

[tall wind]

Yes, it is possible with that...
The problem with it is that if you are dating more than one NPC, you can't display the dialog as you expect.

[rancid temple]

Ah yeah, that's true. Well, seems like the Engaged dialogue should do what you want

[tall wind]

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood something!
“<NPC name>_Engaged” did indeed do what I was thinking! Thanks!

“Data/EngagementDialogue” and I got mixed up and something went wrong, in my head lol.

[nimble marlin]

oooo i didnt knew dynamic tokens worked for this kind of stuff, I have only used them mainly for file paths xDxD
thank you very much for telling me this!! it will be super helpful ^^

[tame orbit]

I was wondering if there is a way to change the NPC name when reach a certain amount of hearts?
I’m trying to make an NPC with a full name “Thomas” and after reaching 4 hearts I want the NPC name to show up as “Tommy” in the dialogue boxes and menus
The NPC would be going by a nickname now that the NPC has reached a certain friendship level
I know there are lots of dependencies on the NPC name but is there a condition I can set to have it change from “Thomas” to “Tommy” at 4 hearts and above?

[shadow pagoda]

I am looking at the recipeList dictionary in the CraftingRecipe class to check if the player has enough of each item to craft said recipe. The key is the id of item, while the value is the amount of the item needed to create the recipe. However, I realized that the key uses ItemId instead of QualifiedItemId, which is what I'm using everywhere else in my mod to avoid conflicting ids. Is it safe to assume that all items found in a recipeList have a TypeDefinitionId id of (O)? If not, is there a way to safely handle duplicate ids?

[latent mauve]

You can make a conditional patch using EditData to the Data/Characters entry in the DisplayName field only that is activated on the required number of hearts.

[uncut viper]

(you will also need to do the same for any dialogue you use the name in)

[brittle pasture]

no: #making-mods-general message
but you can assume (as the game does) that an unqualified ID defaults to (O)

[tame orbit]

OMG THANK YOU
Is it okay I ask what the initial edit would look like?

I'm very new to coding and not exactly sure what the Target would be or the FromFile
Would I need to make a whole new set of sprite portrait dialogue etc?

[latent mauve]

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/tokens.md#relationships for the conditions part if its a CP mod

[tame orbit]

BLESS!🖤

[uncut viper]

if you use the [CharacterName whatever] token actually in your dialogue you probably don't actually have to do extra patches on the dialogue itself

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Tokenizable_strings

[tame orbit]

THANK YOU!!!🖤

[shadow pagoda]

I'm a little confused what you mean by that assumption. Isn't that a contradiction of the answer no?

[gray linden]

trying to add out of season seeds to the shop with c#, going well until i hit strawberrySeeds_Monday, it just wont show up even though i set the condition to null. is this because it has to be the event?

[topaz zenith]

Also lune, I sent you non saree stuff too

[lucid iron]

strawberrySeeds_Monday is for desert festival

[topaz zenith]

I’m probably gonna work on a clothing project mod soon

I have ideas

[lucid iron]

u need to add a new entry for (O)745 in SeedShop

[brittle pasture]

post your code

[topaz zenith]

Is there a general style for stardew clothing I should follow to keep it looking atleast decent?

[gray linden]

here?

[brittle pasture]

sure if it helps

[uncut viper]

(if its super long use something like pastebin though)

[lucid iron]

u can make a git repo first if u want

or gist

[brittle pasture]

also StrawberrySeeds_Monday is an entry in the desert festival shop

not the seed shop

[gray linden]

yes alright thats what i thought the problem was

is there any way to add strawberryseeds_monday to seedShop?

[brittle pasture]

add a new entry yourself

[lucid iron]

blueberry im sad to report that Passable T does make it impossible to interact

[topaz zenith]

I’m gonna make an Indian jewelry mod

So a ton of jewelry from India for fashion sense

[brittle pasture]

in this code snippet here, it would be something like seedShop.Items.Add

[brave fable]

just follow the usual style for items: 1px bold outline (high saturation, low brightness), a small-medium number of colours (around 8 total depending on the pattern), variety of hues for shades

[topaz zenith]

Yep ty!

[brave fable]

goid fucking nfmddait

[hard fern]

😔 so that

*so that's why my thing wasn't working

:(

[brave fable]

i'm not terribly surprised this leaves a tile there, i think i knew at the time there'd be different patch update rates on characters and locations

but i'm surprised i can't SetProperties to use both Action and Passable

taking suggestions on how to do this without new dependencies 🥳

[lucid iron]

turn the kot into a building tile

and conditionally patch her in

[brave fable]

well that's just the same issue as before

[uncut viper]

(i dont know what the original issue is)

[lucid iron]

what is the behavior of kot anyways

does she walk over there or does she just appear on some days

[brave fable]

Sailor Styles adds an NPC to an open tile in the Forest and adds a Buildings tile to where they're standing with Action Shop

the NPC only appears on mondays and sundays, and disappears every other day

they don't move either, they just sit on the tile and animate throughout the day

[lucid iron]

i think it should be fine to put the editmap behind a when day of week right

[brave fable]

but the issue apparently is that the Buildings tile patch isn't updated at the same rate as the character's daily appear/disappear rate, which could be fixed by making the EditMap patch every day, but isn't the usual rate for map patches only every season

[lucid iron]

u will need to include the part that actually adds in the tile on building layer

[brave fable]

it'd be a nuisance to have to reload the entire forest map every day just for the shop tile

[lucid iron]

i thought map patches follow normal asset invalidate rules

[uncut viper]

i dont think theres any difference in update rates between like, anything

[brave fable]

if that's the case i'll just make it conditional

[lucid iron]

my other idea is

give the kot a little stool

at least it's not invisible then

[calm nebula]

Your own c#

Ooh!

[brave fable]

not going to happen for one very important reason:
https://github.com/b-b-blueberry/SailorStyles/commit/71c34d1bac5183e526c2ce89f08554f717a61251

maybe i just imagined the whole locations-dont-invalidate-every-day thing

[calm nebula]

You imagined it I assume meow!

[brave fable]

is there any solid rule about using spring as a default schedule key instead of default?

i remember reading someone say something about that somewhere

[uncut viper]

iirc spring is the default?

[brave fable]

spring is, but so is default

[uncut viper]

i didnt even know default was an option so i will bow out of answering here

[brave fable]

spring it is 😌

[latent mauve]

The important thing is if you ever don't have a spring schedule everything breaks, so you can leave out "default" but never "spring"

[brave fable]

huh, the cat has had default only for this long

[latent mauve]

Then luckily you have never had anything that needed to fall back?

[brave fable]

this is the complete schedule now:```json
{
"Mon": "GOTO shop",
"Sun": "GOTO shop",
"shop": "0 33 96 2 blueberry.SailorStyles.Anim.Standing/1240 33 96 2 blueberry.SailorStyles.Anim.Sitting/1830 33 96 2 blueberry.SailorStyles.Anim.Drowsy/2020 33 96 2 blueberry.SailorStyles.Anim.Snoozing",
"spring": "0 Forest -999 -999/2400 Forest -999 -999"
}

previously default instead of spring

[latent mauve]

I wonder if CP or SMAPI is automatically aliasing default to spring then?

[hallow prism]

basically spring is needed for NPC when they return to a schedule after something special changed their (like going to GI)

[light bramble]

Question, for adding animals, this isn't a "path" right? Like this is ok?

"IconTexture": "{{ModID}}/Pets/Icons",```

[brave fable]

thasnks, suppose it doesn't make a difference here then

[hallow prism]

it's better to be safe than sorry in case another game feature or modded one may use it too

[light bramble]

Ok but this is good? Like CP won't think it's a path? I'm kinda taking some creative inspiration from Ichor

[brave fable]

what do you mean 'think it's a path'

[hallow prism]

i was answering to blueberry

[uncut viper]

there is no difference between calling it "{{ModId}}/Pets/Dogs/Boo" and calling it "whatevername"

[hallow prism]

i have no idea what you meant either

[uncut viper]

its not a pathg

the slashes do not mean anything

you can remove them entirely and it will work exactly the same

(so longf as your load matches obv)

[light bramble]

oops

[hallow prism]

hu, i don't think i get what "path" means then

[uncut viper]

like a file path, or folder structure

its not like "assets/File.png" is a path

[brave fable]

yeah so the asset name/key is what you're providing here, and the only requirement for it is that it's completely unique and generally meaningful

[uncut viper]

when you give an asset a name in your Load its just taking your one thing and putting a label on it

that label just happens to have slashes in it

[hallow prism]

but you need that to match with where the game will search the texture

[light bramble]

I'm kinda following what Ichor did for their cat mod. And they have "Texture": "Mods/{{ModId}}/Cat", "IconTexture": "Mods/{{ModId}}/Icons",
I just wanna make sure that what I am doing is good too...

[uncut viper]

its not adding anything to a folder

[hallow prism]

it's not the folder path but it's the game content pipeline (insert synonym here)

[light bramble]

And I wll say that the game has "Texture": "Animals\\dog", "IconTexture": "LooseSprites\\Cursors",

[uncut viper]

there is zero reason to have the texture names start with Mods/ people just do it bc convention

[calm nebula]

Yeah

Is old convention

[uncut viper]

basically if what you're using does not have a file extension (.png, .tmx, etc) then its not a file path. its just a long name for a thing

[light bramble]

Should I just do {{ModID}}.BooTex?

[uncut viper]

you can do literally whatever you want

[brittle pasture]

Using a png file has two steps:

1. Load it into an asset name
2. Use that asset in the data
   The name you created in 1 is what you're passing, and your code is step 2. It doesn't really matter what it is named (though of course you want your mod ID in there to prevent collision with other mods)

[uncut viper]

but it is recommended to have your mod uniqueid in there somewhere as blueberry mentions

(and selph)

[light bramble]

Ok then Imma stick with the {{ModID}}/Pets/Dogs/Boo

XD >_<

[uncut viper]

as long as you remember then that the name of the texture is not "Boo"
it is "{{ModID}}/Pets/Dogs/Boo"
the whole thing is the name

[light bramble]

This is all so confusing for me and idk why lol

[light bramble]

I will

[brave fable]

it took me a while to understand paths/assetnames and all in the content pipeline too, but it does click eventually

it's really very simple once you understand it

[light bramble]

I mean I have been modding since about 2018ish?

maybe 2020?

I have to check

[brave fable]

2019 here haha

your mileage may vary

[light bramble]

LOL ok ok my first ever message was in 2019

yeah I started making mods in 2020

Ok but another question. for the "IconSourceRect" does the X,Y corrolate to the bottom left or top left corner?

[brave fable]

always the topleft

[brittle pasture]

top left

[light bramble]

Also Tai, I think I'm SLOWLY understanding how to make the i18n stuffs...They need to be in their own folder tho right? Like a folder named i18n?

or is it I18n

lowercase i or uppercase?

[brave fable]

always lowercase

[light bramble]

See now we need an auto responder that just says "always __" XD

[brittle ledge]

yes, you should have one file in there called default.json that has all the text strings you want translateable.

Jorts and Jean's current version has it if you need an NPC example.

[brave fable]

squish squash, another lazy sunday

[hard fern]

Is jorts and jean the go-to example NPC mod at this point XD

[light bramble]

awesome! Once I finish with this simple mod for adding my pets I will look into it

[uncut viper]

(you CAN split your i18n up into multiple files now too if you have a lot of things to translate)

[brave fable]

not really, it's just their own mod hahah

[hard fern]

XD that would explain it

You can split up your i18n now?

[light bramble]

Also also also. Does dialogue just repeat over the years????

[brave fable]

dialogue generally repeats unless made conditional or year-specific

a Mon entry will play every monday, a spring_12 entry will play on spring 12th every year, etc.

they don't actively repeat, they just play whenever their key matches

[light bramble]

Wish there was a dialogue helper for npcs like there is an npc builder.

[hard fern]

...

[brave fable]

specifically https://smapi.io/json haha

[uncut viper]

(the biggest downside ive found to splitting up your i18n is if a user just drags and drops the new files into their mod folder, theyll have both top level and folder structure i18n, which isnt allowed. and apparently SMAPI prefers the top level ones if it finds both and suggests reinstalling the mod entirely to fix it, instead of using the folders instead :v)

[loud ice]

Sorry i copied the wrong link XD

https://smapi.io/json/none/cccda9d0ea124984a7b22641ce329fc9

[uncut viper]

(i wouldve done it the opposite way since i figured if a mod suddenly had folders and top level, it probably means they added folders since thats the new one... but c'est la vie)

[hard fern]

If you use folders for i18n from the get go, would users still have that issue?

[uncut viper]

nope

its only bc if you use folders, all your i18n for every language has to use folders

and vice versa for top level

[lucid iron]

Tbh i would only think of splitting things up if my i18n reaches like 1k lines

[uncut viper]

so if you have both it has to choose one to go with, and it chooses top level

which means if your new i18n from the update you just made is only in the folders, then... they dont get used

smapi also only logs it as a warning, which like, i guess it kind of is, but...

i split up my i18n for my books mod so its much easier for me to find where things are since the file was getting too long for me, but also mostly because it means i can have one i18n file called "untranslated.json" in the other language folders, and translators will know immediately what still needs to be translated, bc its all in that file

which is where i can put new strings from new updates

[brittle ledge]

It is for me just because I know what the code's doing

[hard fern]

I remember this discussion earlier, but don't really want to have to search for it, for making custom engagement lines?

[faint ingot]

Do you think I should have the farmer be stuck in there if they don't leave in time? Right now I have a warp out but...

[hard fern]

How would one go about that

[lucid iron]

But button wouldn't your translators have to sort the key into the correct file going forward

[uncut viper]

nope

[lucid iron]

Unless the plan is you doing it for em

[uncut viper]

every file just gets added to the same dictionary

if theres a dupe it gets ignored

[brittle ledge]

I don't think you can lock the farmer in but I wouldn't recommend it either way

[lucid iron]

Then u just have translated keys no?

In untranslated.json

[uncut viper]

the untranslated.json is for the translators convenience but its not what i use in the mod itself

[faint ingot]

I mean, I definitely can, unless they have a scepter or warp totem...

[brave fable]

could you post your Pearl Crops image here please?

[uncut viper]

if they send me a translated untranslated.json then i am the one that moves it into the correct files after

which gets packaged into the next update i release

[brave fable]

also can someone verify that this Target line will actually work

[tribal umbra]

hii! when doing a map, how do i specify from which file i'm using a tilesheet in the code? the map i'm doing has multiple tilesheets files, and each of the file has tilesheets with a unique number in the file, but some of the files has a different tilesheet with the same number. Rn i'm trying to use tilesheet 416 but it's loading one from the landscape vanilla file not from the mod i want. The code is like this " "NightTiles": "Front 64 45 416",

[uncut viper]

there is at least one missing between Prismatic_Shard_Crop and Pearl Crops and i thought i saw another but the file is very long you understand

[loud ice]

i guess i have to remove the crop then :/

[brittle pasture]

yeah, missing comma on end of line 72 of the content.json file

(was busy 5 mins earlier hence late reply)

[uncut viper]

i was only looking on smapi.io so theyre all on line 30 for me

[brave fable]

could you try this content file instead?

@brittle ledge do i remember right? i think you got a similar issue so it's why it feels familiar

[hard fern]

😔 thinking of cutting out the seasonal outfits for my npc. I'd rather focus on dialogue

[hallow prism]

it's not really how seasonal outfits works, once they are cut they work only for summer, you would need to resew them for winter

joke aside, yes, focus on what you have fun to make

seasonal outfit can be more or less work depending of what you do, but honestly i don't really care if a mod don't have them, they are a +, not the main thing

[brittle pasture]

whoops

[uncut viper]

whoops what, whats wrong

[lucid iron]

the furniture dimension

now make them aggressive

[brave fable]

ah yes the read-only furniture catalogue

[hallow prism]

"my house is quite minimalist, i have only one furniture."
the furniture :

[brittle ledge]

She does!

you have to move back one tile for LUTI, another interior mod, and apparently also SVE

(but also yes she could potentially conflict with Wren if she sits there during a weekday evening)

[shy trout]

im getting abck into modding after about a year, the last time i was modding, it was 1.5 and we used BFAV to make custom animals. i know 1.6 shook up a lot of animal coding, so is there a new program to use?

[ornate trellis]

CP

CP ate a lot tbh

[brittle ledge]

they're doable in CP now! Silvermoonchan has a lot of BFAV conversions you could reference.

[brittle pasture]

this question implies your house looks like this normally

[shy trout]

yay thank you!
(also are you the jorts and jean mod creator? i lub them)

[brittle ledge]

(yes, I am, thank you )

[hard fern]

I sure love Furniture

[brave fable]

a full set 🥳

[brittle pasture]

the contraption

[brave fable]

honestly just release these test objects as the most confusing mod pack ever

[uncut viper]

i dont know why but i feel like the table feels pain throughout this process

[brave fable]

cjb item spawner is also capable of experiencing agony and regret when you resize the game window

[lucid iron]

trasmutation table

did u give any thought to FF's multiple placed item feature

[brittle pasture]

no, and I will likely not support it

[lucid iron]

but at least it no die right

[brittle pasture]

probably

[nimble marlin]

anyone knows what is the audio cue id of the earthquake that unlocks the SPA?

[brave fable]

that'd be thunder_small

[lucid iron]

is the best way to detect if player has at least 1 of a thing still just

utility for each item

[uncut viper]

like, anywhere in the world?

[lucid iron]

yea

i was thinking of making a progression mode for machine mod

so i hide say keg until player makes or obtain a keg

[brave fable]

there's Utility.doesItemExistAnywhere, which is ofc foreachitem

[uncut viper]

you could patch the behaviour for picking up an item to add individual mail flags for every single item they ever pick up if you wanted

[lucid iron]

this is a very button suggestion but it does seem like the least amount of calc

[uncut viper]

it is a very me suggestion but i do also think it may actually be better than looping over everything always

as long as you dont mind having a mess of a mailbox dictionary

[lucid iron]

my kneejerk thought was like

foreach item once on save load

[uncut viper]

also it kinda works how the crow shop works so

[lucid iron]

do some ??? to update that during play

[calm nebula]

I used to just hook Inventory Changed for that

[brave fable]

just update once each day, you don't really need instant updates do you

[lucid iron]

i would like instant updates

[calm nebula]

(So in my case as soon as a fruit tree or fruit entered the inventory.)

In that mod I had a multiplayer message system set up to broadcast that info lol

[lucid iron]

hm although inventory changed has that problem with inability to detect new things

its fine for my purpose which is "obtain once"

[uncut viper]

if you go the mail flag route you dont need to care whether its new

[lucid iron]

i was thinking i do inventory changed + mail flag

well, maybe not even mail flag

i have 2 other caches for things what is 1 more

[uncut viper]

1 more is the inability for other mods to access ur mail flags

[lucid iron]

they cant have it

[uncut viper]

is that a fuckin challenge

[lucid iron]

it's a sekrit to everyone except button

[uncut viper]

oh ok thats fine

[lucid iron]

i also wonder about like

[uncut viper]

new in BETAS v3.0: Spiderbuttons.CheckChuCaches action

[calm nebula]

I also meant to write an iterate the world once

[lucid iron]

is there a soft limit on number of mail flag before game starts hurging

[uncut viper]

whats the max limit on a dictionary

[calm nebula]

In case mod installed mid save

Never did though

[uncut viper]

i dont think its something to worry about

dictionaries use hashtables anyway dont they. so it shouldnt really matter how much stuff is stored in them right. at least not until you get into absolutely absurd numbers?

[lucid iron]

how do u reflect into someone else's internal static class anyways

[uncut viper]

same way you reflect into anything else

[lucid iron]

im sure there's some way but it was pretty annoying

when i was doing the sid thing

[uncut viper]

if you want the easy way then you can just search every assembly for a type in a namespace

or you can bank on the fact that SMAPI keeps a list of every single mods assembly

and just grab it through there

then you just find the field like you would normally

[lucid iron]

oh smapi knows the assembly

for some reason i thought it just knew about the ModEntry : Mod class

[teal bridge]

dictionaries use hashtables anyway dont they.

Kinda-sorta-mostly-don't-rely-on-it

[uncut viper]

i will keep this in mind if i ever store millions of items in my dictionaries

[teal bridge]

Actually, the problem with millions of items is the hash-table-ish implementation, since a copy of each key needs to be stored.

(I have stored millions of items in dictionaries.)

[lucid iron]

Button gonna make the first sdv mod to have a redis dependency

[uncut viper]

thats what i meant, its not somethin i expect to need to worry about whether or not i can rely on it until i get to that point

[teal bridge]

Forget Redis, there is stuff like FASTER that doesn't require external dependencies. But a lower-tech solution is just to compress keys.

And yes I understand this is a theoretical, YAGNI problem for modders.

[rancid musk]

(Also forget redis because the company running redis these days is doing not so good things and you should use the oss fork instead.)

[teal bridge]

Yes, also that.

Khloe, since you're online anyway - I don't want to bug you with a ping, but any chance of ModManifestBuilder seeing an update to the build tools to resolve the obnoxious security warning in VS/dotnet?

[rancid musk]

Yeah I can look into that soon, though I'm honestly not sure what's happening there.

[teal bridge]

It's a silly transitive package dependency on an ancient version of System.Drawing.Common

[rancid musk]

Yeah. Which is there for... whatever reason, lol

I probably need to look at what ModBuildConfig is doing again and compare the csproj

[teal bridge]

Well, it's been removed in the newer build tools.

[brave fable]

system.drawing my nemesis

[teal bridge]

That's why updating the package will resolve it - the dependency is no longer there (because it should never have been there in the first place).

[rancid musk]

Wonder if there's anything else I need to fix. Can't immediately think of anything.

[lucid iron]

i never seen this System.Drawing.Common thing

[teal bridge]

Nah, I had to deal with this in a few other projects, the old version of the build tools package just had an annoying mess of dependencies that Microsoft finally fixed, and decided to "deprecate" the old one by making the vulnerability public.

[lucid iron]

is it a vs specific problem?

[teal bridge]

There shouldn't be any changes required on the caller side.

[teal bridge]

It's a build warning, you'll see it if you build anything with ModManifestBuilder.

Plus VS shows an annoying alert panel for it when you open the project (Rider and VSCode don't).

[lucid iron]

oh i always build with dotnet build

[teal bridge]

It's... really no big deal, just a nuisance.

dotnet build will definitely print that warning. I suspect you are not paying attention to warnings.

[lucid iron]

nop it doesnt

[lucid iron]

maybe linux thing i dunno

[teal bridge]

(and so on - the transitive dependency is through the MMB, which is through the build tools, which is through 3 or 4 other packages, one of them is System.Windows.Extensions I think)

[lucid iron]

there was this warning i been meaning to ask about

~/StardewUI/Framework/obj/Debug/net6.0/StardewUI.SourceGenerators/StardewUI.SourceGenerators.DescriptorGenerator/View.g.cs(197,31): warning CS0618: 'View.IsFocusable' is obsolete: 'Use Focusable instead of IsFocusable when interacting directly with a concrete View.' [~/StardewUI/Framework/StardewUI.Framework.csproj]

it looks like it should stay for backwards compat?

[teal bridge]

That has to do with the descriptor source generator. I'm just being lazy about that warning. It's not a real problem.

IsFocusable is obsolete but it still has to be implemented, so... yeah. I'll get around to fixing it some day.

(Or just removing the original property if no one is still using it.)

[uncut viper]

"I suspect you are not paying attention to warnings."
"I'm just being lazy about that warning."

[teal bridge]

Yes. Part of it is "do as I say, not as I do". But also part of it is that warnings proliferate due to warning noise; since I'm already seeing 10 warnings, I'm less inclined to fix my 1.

I admitted it was laziness, didn't I?

[lucid iron]

i genuinely don't see the modmanifestbuild warning tho

[calm nebula]

You'd love thr 2k+ warnings my repo current has

[lucid iron]

mystery

[calm nebula]

||I hate those warnings||

[teal bridge]

I've been through that at work. Been on teams that didn't care about warnings, and just let them pile up. Or worse, monorepos with an upstream dependency whose team didn't care about spurious warnings, or just expected everyone downstream to drop everything to deal with their new warnings.

It's a real problem when you need to debug something. Good luck finding your one relevant warning in the soup of 10,000 junk warnings.

[calm nebula]

I prefer to get down to warnings 0 but I would like to declare warnings bankruptcy

Oh wait, I did

(90% of them are from stylecop too.)

[teal bridge]

Yes yes.

I don't count style warnings as warnings... are they actually set up as warnings and not suggestions?

[calm nebula]

Yeahhhh

[teal bridge]

Hah, well, that's on you...

[calm nebula]

yeahhh

part of the problem is that stylecop is aging (it doesn't, say, understand records at all.) so

I Should TM switch to something else but then it becomes something else I Should TM do and I don't wanna (insert whining voice.)

[teal bridge]

I have not used stylecop since ever. Since it was called fxcop. Actually, I'm not even sure if they're the same tool or if it diverged at some point. That's how long ago I stopped paying attention.

I just throw on csharpier-msbuild and call it a day. Could not care less about nonsense like perfect consistency between var foo and int foo.

[calm nebula]

Doesn't help VS randomly crashes my computer these days

Lol

I think the universe is telling me something

[teal bridge]

That you need a new computer? I don't get random VS crashes.

[uncut viper]

another cup of coffee oughta fix it

[calm nebula]

I mean, yes, I could upgrade my computer but I'm loathe to put money into it when I don't think I use enough to justify

[teal bridge]

Fair enough. Same reason I don't upgrade my car.

Still, if my car were randomly crashing, I might upgrade anyway.

[calm nebula]

I put my name down for "possibly buying a laptop off my workplace if one comes up" but we don't think one will soon

You're going to need a bigger basement.

[lucid iron]

does game just

create 8 cellars...

[calm nebula]

yes

[unique sigil]

Is the tile you set NightTiles on from a custom tilesheet? if it is, you need to set a dependency for that custom tilesheet in your mod's manifest and it will automatically choose the right tile even if there is a vanilla tile with the same index. also, there is no field for specifying a source tilesheet for that Day/NightTiles

[tribal umbra]

I'll try that, thanks!

[unique sigil]

in general when using a custom tilesheet you always set a dependency, bc otherwise you would have to put the assets in your release folder, which afaik is forbidden in all custom tilesheet mods (or at least ones i've ever used)

[brave fable]

oh that's a nuisance, i wanted a passable furniture but setting the collision size to 0 0 means it just gets a 1px bounding box in the bottom left

sailor saturn

[hard fern]

sailor saturn is one of the sailor scouts.

[calm nebula]

god I'm finally updating my ubuntu

I was able to convert a CP-A mod to SpaceCore, but we would need more info on what type of thing you are converting and probably your JSON

[calm nebula]

and I missss uni internet lol

22 fing minutes to download the ubuntus

Kk gimme a bit. Not at pc rn

[faint ingot]

so it's kind of frustrating that a character's offset at their scheduled destination depends on the direction they were coming from. Is there a way to force their position to be independent of that? if that makes sense

like I may have to have an animationDescription that accounts for approaching the tile from the NE, and a different one approaching from SW

[latent mauve]

Are you not using the facing direction?

[faint ingot]

I do put in a facing direction but does that change the offset? I guess that didn't occur to me but that makes sense

[latent mauve]

You can also change the offset in the animation piece of the schedule string

[faint ingot]

OK no that's not it.... here's what I mean. Here is one schedule and the result: 000 Saloon 14 21 1/610 Saloon 19 20 3 {{Shannon}}_stool_bar

[latent mauve]

Ah

[faint ingot]

here is another schedule and the result: 000 Saloon 33 18 0/610 Saloon 19 20 3 {{Shannon}}_stool_bar

in both cases I am using the same destination coordinates and animation / offset

but the travel direction is opposite

[tiny zealot]

oh this is just a regrettable(?) feature of how NPCs determine that they're done moving

depending on the direction they enter the tile from, they can be off by several macro pixels in that direction

[faint ingot]

right, so I can plan to have two different animation descriptions depending on where the NPC is traveling from, I was just seeing if there was a better way, and I guess there isn't

[tiny zealot]

yeah i don't think so

[faint ingot]

OK thanks for confirming

[faint ingot]

also @tiny zealot I noticed your use of the word 'macropixels' and I'm not sure what that means, but I did notice the offset didn't seem to map 1:1 with the character pixels. Can you explain? Like if I want to move my character one 'sprite pixel' to the left is that like 5 or 10 'macropixels'?

Is there a way to check if the player has requested to upgrade the farmhouse? Like right after you press "yes" in the first picture? I found upgradeLevel and currentlyDisplayedUpgradeLevel in the FarmHouse class, but that seems to only upgrade once the farm physically has been upgraded.

Oh, sorry! You mentioned ages back you're fine with whatever except for he/him. I'll update my note then 😄

The only things in springobjects are... well, objects.

Cursors is far wilder.

[slender badger]

And the boulders for some reason

[calm nebula]

Also big rocks

And some animation frames for some reason

[atomic vale]

i am surprised that it is not just one mega sized photo

[calm nebula]

Like I think the totem warp effect is in there

My favorite is still maps/menutiles

[atomic vale]

also the beach farm boxes are in there

[calm nebula]

Sure, it's 100 % menu tiles

[brave fable]

the stars and spirals from the totem warp are definitely in cursors. not far from alex's mum, construction guy, some seagulls, and the entire ocean

[atomic vale]

in objects

[hard fern]

Ughh menu tiles

[calm nebula]

But why is in maps

[hard fern]

Did you know i was looking in loosesprites for so long

Looking for the menu tiles

[calm nebula]

Those are objects

[hard fern]

And i never found kt

[atomic vale]

do artifact spots only have 1 sprite?

nvm

why is only one frame of the artifact spot in spingobj?

[brittle pasture]

because

[slender badger]

For the error item artifact spot

[atomic vale]

oh.

wait then can you get all of the ones in springobjs?

[brittle pasture]

there are unused sprites in there, namely the smashed sprites next to some of the items

[atomic vale]

i thought those were used

[brave fable]

nope, the only item-break animations are from TileSheets/Animations

[atomic vale]

wow there are a lot of unsed

[brittle pasture]

also the meat sprites are unused

[atomic vale]

slised melon for example

[calm nebula]

Technically the broken egg is used ||in Sam's heart event||

[hard fern]

Lol

Haley's bracelet is in there too, right?

[atomic vale]

wait there is an empty plate!?

[hard fern]

Ys

[brittle pasture]

I guess CA initially planned for every item to be breakable, before calling off the idea after texturing the first 30 or so, out of 600

[atomic vale]

?

[hard fern]

In springobjects

[atomic vale]

i have never heard of that

[brittle pasture]

6 heart event, she asks you to find her grandma's missing bracelet

[hard fern]

Iirc it even has a description and everything

[calm nebula]

I wonder if spoilage was a planned mechanic

Frankly I'm glad that isn't in vanilla

[brittle pasture]

there's even a function for rotting items in the code, though its only usage AFAIK is to rot the pumpkin lamps

is top left unused?

[brittle pasture]

(yes it's unused)

so it is?

tbh im kinda surprised i couldnt immediately find an already existing mod that stops them from rotting

[latent mauve]

Okay, when I changed the validator to check for Content Patcher, it got REALLY upset with your configschema entries, which may be part of your issue since your animation patches are dependent on the config option being selected.

You should remove AllowMultiple unless your intent is to make it true, since the default value is false anyway.

i didnt even notice that

[latent mauve]

Nah, Uber wants to use my mod, based on this wording. xD

[uncut viper]

they need to make a mod to change the item queries on it!

[teal bridge]

Uber has been upgraded with GPT technology.

It's now almost as smart as a cockroach.

[latent mauve]

They don't, though, Button! I MADE the mod already and it uses predefined config options to make dynamic tokens that are used in the Item Query for the context tags

I also abandoned the idea of actually doing anything further with it because not a single food mod that I downloaded to test with used a single consistent context_tag

which was very depressing

[uncut viper]

but Uber wants to change the item queries, you see. so it needs to make another mod to patch over your edits

[latent mauve]

Nah, you change the item queries through the config

(that part did work)

[uncut viper]

i guess itsu p to uber to clarify whether it means that or means it wants to change the e ntire item query field entirely

we'll get an answer soon im sure

[latent mauve]

LOL

[lucid mulch]

.choose I meant via config, I meant change the item query field entirely

[patent lance]

Choose result: I meant change the item query field entirely

adding on to this, please update your Content Patcher Format to a more recent number: 2.0 is VERY old and may not support some of the actions you're trying to take. Current is 2.4.0

[lucid iron]

Remind me in 5 years to steal the death sculpt of Richard I the Lionheart

[patent lance]

don't you have like a cell phone or something chu2.718281828459045235360287471? it can do the same gosh darn thing and then I can be lazy. but okay, I'm on it. (#6405983) (5y | <t:1891317238>)

[uncut viper]

did you think you were gonna see the response right away

like a preview

[lucid iron]

Yes

[brittle pasture]

uber is too smart unfortunately

[uncut viper]

you better not cancel that reminder

[lucid mulch]

better not leave the server until you receive it too

[uncut viper]

this is fucking me up why did you ask for 5 minutes. do you just like waiting for fun

[brittle pasture]

because 5 seconds didn't work

[uncut viper]

i like my theory better

[brave fable]

do you think uber would respect 300 seconds. or isn't he all that smart

[lucid mulch]

does not respect the keyword second at all, can however give absolute time or just 1 minute

[normal heart]

how would i go about making a content patcher mod that edits an existing item example like triple shot expresso to give more health and energy? im new to making mods but have a rough idea how to use json

[brittle pasture]

!cp you would edit the item's entry in Data/Objects

[ocean sail]

Content Patcher (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1915) is a mod which loads content packs to change the game's images and data without replacing XNB files. If you want to make mods using Content Patcher, start at https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Content_Patcher.

To use this command, type !cp.

[brittle pasture]

!unpack unpack the game to see where to edit

[ocean sail]

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

To use this command, type !unpack.

cheers

nonuple shot expresso

[latent mauve]

Edibility is the trait that determines the health and energy, per the wiki

"Edibility: (Optional) A numeric value that determines how much energy (edibility × 2.5) and health (edibility × 1.125) is restored when this item is eaten." <-- That will be in the Object data for the Triple Shot Expresso

[solid ocean]

weird cause i just ran that one through the converter

[latent mauve]

Double check your Format number also?

I think that's more likely to be the issue, we are currently on 2.4.0, but you should at least try to use the most current version number of Content Patcher for whatever version of Stardew you are targeting with your mod.

Your JSON showed 2.0, which is... Very old.

[uncut viper]

2.0.0 is as old as stardew 1.6 is, which really isnt that old. not that im suggesting you dont use the latest when possible, ofc

[brave fable]

(2.0 is equivalent to 2.0.0, which is for SDV1.6.0)
