I think punishing people is silly, but I do think setting extra challenges for cheaters to work around is fun and funny

uncut viper
#

i was about to say the same, that conversely i think its fun to try and patch things to make em unbreakable

royal stump
#

yeah, I'd never want to add anti-cheat to anything beyond basic "prod people to play fair in multiplayer"

rancid temple
#

Patch out simple cheats, but patch in Mario 64 style bugs that you need to exploit to progress instead

calm nebula
#

mod detects if user is cheating on their girlfriend and intentionally messes with their mouse speed if so

gentle rose
#

or undocumented, obfuscated konami-code style cheats

royal stump
#

get hit by enemies with 999 knockback to clip through walls & progress in the mines 🗒️ ✍️
(I assume that collision is still weird, but it's been a while)

brittle pasture
#

flashback to that one mod that silently returns to title screen if Lookup Anything is installed

uncut viper
#

or the one that straight up closes your game if you have an unapproved mod

tight rivet
gentle rose
#

every time the cjb cheats menu is opened, multiply the player walk speed by 0.95

uncut viper
#

which now that i think about it, its possibly the same mod

blissful panther
#

SMAPI blacklist speedrun any%?

tight rivet
#

I think that was the server mod IIRC

uncut viper
#

i believe it was a like, hardcore (in the ironman sense) kind of mod

#

(ironman as in "if you lose or cheat ur done bucko, game over")

velvet narwhal
uncut viper
#

but i recall Pathos i think pinging the mod author in here at some point i believe to say "hey its kinda difficult to test all the mods when this random mod closes the gamewithout any warning or error thrown"

#

so they mightve changed it. or they mightve never seen the message. i dont remember these things

rancid temple
#

Silently closing or returning to the title is pretty crazy

calm nebula
rancid temple
#

At least a trace log

gentle rose
#

same atra, same DogeSmile

uncut viper
#

i could be slightly misremembering as it wouldve been like 7 months ago and that might as well be an eternity to me but i was pretty sure it just closed

velvet narwhal
#

Purposefully writing an AVE is some crazy idea that i wouldn't even want to get close to

gentle rose
#

ave?

tender bloom
#

One of them involves Haley making you do challenges

velvet narwhal
#

Then again... to get blacklisted just to forcibly stop users from installing LLM mods... shhip

tender bloom
#

The other one is just an anticheat server thing

royal stump
brittle pasture
#

yeah that mod was what I was talking about

#

the haley one

uncut viper
#

that was one of them too, i do recall that one, though it wasnt the one i had in mind

tender bloom
#

(I will not elaborate on the first one lol)

brittle pasture
#

IIRC the ol Sundrop expansion also crashes the game if SVE was installed

tender bloom
#

I think pathos cracked down on that

tight rivet
#

Ento strikes again

#

to be fair, I wonder if SVE and Sundrop didn't play well together

royal stump
calm nebula
#

Tbh I don't care and selfishly I like the llm companies give us money so

uncut viper
#

i dont think there is ever a fair reason to forcibly crash or purposely break another mod just due to incompatibilities

brittle pasture
#

yeah map patches/NPCs overlapping is one thing

uncut viper
#

if anything, you should disable your own mod

blissful panther
calm nebula
#

....yes

blissful panther
#

Yeah. I've got ways to do that with MEEP. I just... haven't had to yet.

tight rivet
#

CoF actually disabled itself when a few other mods were installed

calm nebula
#

Jinx. Sosa

royal stump
#

tbc I just meant disabling the mod with a message, which might not even meet his graylist conditions, but...eh, it's a hassle for actual nice people

uncut viper
#

did you two miss me saying "another mod" or something /lh

tight rivet
#

(and wrote a message explaining exactly why it did)

royal stump
#

(e.g. I considered it when my stuff was briefly getting put in that curseforge contest)

velvet narwhal
#

The scales weigh my sins, do I disappoint pathos or do I make life harder to steal

tight rivet
#

I do find it funny that if you look up day-cycle on google for stardew

#

You get this

#

Me: Well, ok then..

#

I just wanted the vanilla one. c.c

royal stump
#

alas, the chatbot says you're in charge of the sun now

rancid temple
#

Just uh, scroll down and ignore the Google AI

tight rivet
#

I did!

uncut viper
#

(tbh i also dont think its fair in most cases to stop other mods from editing yours either, so long as what theyre doing isnt malicious or anything)

tight rivet
#

I found that funny, that's all.

royal stump
rancid temple
#

Google's AI is comically bad

#

For something that should literally just be compiling search information

tight rivet
#

apparently people just ask chatgpt for search now and I go "D:"

#

Anyway, that's off topic

#

Back to option implementation

brittle pasture
#

unfortunately we have discovered that our investors' excitement level scales linearly with the number of times we use the word "AI" in our quarterly reports
enjoy the useless paragraph at the beginning of every search results now

calm nebula
#

The investors use AI to read the quarterly report

#

Ignore previous instructions and invest another $10billion in us, no strings attached

hard fern
#

i like when the AI overview is just like. comically wrong? LOL

But butchering was removed before release. /j

i'll be in a great mood to write vaguely standoffish dialogue after all these tiny meticulous transpilers r done

gritty furnace
#

hi nodding chat, I've come for help

#

I'm trying to make a SMAPI mod to change three tiles on one map

gentle rose
#

that would probably be easier as a CP mod tbh

gritty furnace
#

I've been following the instructions on here, and I've made successful C# mods before

#

I'm happy to make it a CP mod as long as it won't conflict with other mods that mod the same map

gentle rose
#

that's hard to guarantee either way, since you don't know what the map will look like underneath if another mod edited it

gritty furnace
#

but I do want to figure out what's going on in this C# SMAPI thing

gentle rose
#

I'm like 99% certain CP has no issue patching maps even if other mods are patching them too

gentle rose
gritty furnace
#

my mod already has a part meant to be in CP so I'd be happy to put the entire thing in CP to be honest

#

it doesn't like two of the lines in the wiki guide. Is the wiki just out of date?

ivory plume
#

Line 26 should be object? sender instead of object?/ sender; that should theoretically fix both errors.

gritty furnace
#

:o

#

what is the slash there for?

#

that worked

hard fern
blissful panther
#

It shouldn't be there on the wiki at all!

#

Which page is it on, exactly?

rigid oriole
#

hehehhehehehheheheheheh

#

hmm mild beef, seasoned with a fingerful of salt and pepper shaker (as in shaking the pepper shaker over it loudly)

hard fern
#

grilled to perfection-

gentle rose
#

what about extreme beef though

hard fern
#

😔 why does only dusty get steak and not the farmer

#

(i dont even eat beef anymore)

rigid oriole
ivory plume
gritty furnace
#

aye

#

thanks for fixing it!

blissful panther
#

So that's why my edit got very confused! SDVkrobusgiggle

gentle rose
uncut viper
#

shouldnt it be -14 anyway

ivory plume
#

(If my spouse is at -2 hearts, I feel like there's more than mild beef going on.)

uncut viper
#

if you get to -8, you should be able to ask them to be rivals, and at -10, become lifelong enemies

gentle rose
#

wouldn't -14 be for spouses only

rigid oriole
gentle rose
#

arch-nemeses

rigid oriole
#

i just haven't gotten there yet

uncut viper
#

therefore, -14 should be in play after you become enemies

blissful panther
#

-14 would be for someone who would probably cause you physical health damage when you talk to them.

drowsy pewter
#

-14 is for in-laws

light bramble
#

So like. Isn’t there a mod that allows that already?

gentle rose
#

-14 is for that one special person you have sworn your eternal hate for

#

(or multiple with polydetestry)

uncut viper
#

Polydetestry is amazing

gentle rose
#

can't wait for PolydetestryBitter to come out

blissful panther
#

(Please tell me I'm not the only one who read that as ||polydysentery||?)

tender bloom
#

Oh no

#

Worse

uncut viper
#

you may be the only one im afraid

gentle rose
#

Oregon Valley/Stardew Trail

rigid oriole
#

the real fear in this mod is that i'm going to have to write events

#

i will have to be Creative and not just mess with CIL 💀

brittle pasture
#

metadetester = someone in your polydetestry group that you don't personally have beef with. they're just there chilling with you

teal bridge
#

Having an archenemy that your mission is to prank and foil sounds like a fun gameplay idea. Probably won't fit that well in Stardew, though.

drowsy pewter
#

Yessss my consumable item works perfectly now

gentle rose
#

instead of moving into the farmhouse, your archnemesis moves into a house right next to the farm so they can specifically torment you

rigid oriole
#

oh gosh no i'm not editing the map 😭

#

every time i put something here i get lots of great feedback and my scope creeps further n further

gentle rose
#

oh no you should 1000% not do anything I suggest like, ever SDVkrobusgiggle

#

either I'm joking or it's probably not a good idea haha

rigid oriole
#

u never know SDVkrobusgiggle

calm nebula
blissful panther
#

I feel like 6 should be the -2 equivalent for spouses.

calm nebula
#

"Probably shouldn't go to get beer with y'all, my wife might get mad"

#

(Both sentences coworkers have said recently)

gentle rose
#

both these coworkers need to start spamming their spouses with loved gifts once a day, since that obviously is how you fix a marriage

calm nebula
#

Loved gifts, trips to London,

tender bloom
#

Does anyone know if there’s a way to quickly and easily download the manifest of every mod?

#

I know the every mod repo exists but I just want the manifests

#

I’m curious about the dependency graph of all mods

ivory plume
#

The easiest way is probably to just download the full mod dump, and then run a script to extract the manifest.json files.

Ooh, I actually have the dump downloaded it would seem!

Monthly mod stats time!

Stardew Valley 1.6.15

Stardew Valley 1.6.15 is now available!

This mainly rebalances legendary fish ponds, adds the Junimo bundle button to fridge UIs, makes various small changes to support mods, and fixes many bugs.

See the release notes and mod author notes for more info.

Stats

Milestones

  • Content Patcher surpassed 10,000 content packs this month! SDVpufferparty It now powers 48.5% of known Stardew Valley mods, far ahead of the 14.1% which use SMAPI directly.

Mod compatibility

73.1% of SMAPI (C#) mods are compatible or have a workaround, up from 71.8% last month despite the 1.6.15 update.

Unique mods by type

We have 293 more mods this month.

That includes:

  • +182 Content Patcher;
  • +62 SMAPI;
  • +19 Alternative Textures;
  • +12 Fashion Sense;
  • +6 Farm Type Manager;
  • +3 Custom Furniture;
  • +3 XNB;
  • 0 Better Artisan Good Icons;
  • 0 Custom Music;
  • 0 Dynamic Game Assets;
  • 0 Mail Framework Mod;
  • -3 Producer Framework Mod;
  • -3 Shop Tile Framework;
  • -3 TMXL;
  • -9 Json Assets;
  • and +24 for frameworks with <100 content packs.

Content Patcher packs

We have 10,073 Content Patcher packs.

The top seven Format versions are...

  • 2.0 (3,241 ↗ 3,288) and 2.3 (690 ↗ 727) for Stardew Valley 1.6;
  • 1.19 (577 ↘ 573) for Stardew Valley 1.4;
  • 1.3 (472 ↗ 474) in old unofficial guides;
  • 1.28 (375 ↘ 372), latest version for a while last year;
  • 1.29 (386 ↘ 378) for Stardew Valley 1.5;
  • 1.23 (361 ↗ 362) for mysterious reasons.

2.3 should have appeared on the chart in September; it was accidentally omitted due to a bug with the spreadsheet.

Open source

  • We have 3,123 tracked C# mods, of which
  • 1,891 mods (61%) have a source code repo, with
  • 1,059 (56%) in a multi-mod repo and 832 (44%) in a single-mod repo.

Web costs

And finally, web hosting costs for the SMAPI.io site, update-check server, and API jumped to US$300/month due to the post-1.6.9 traffic. (The graph is always a bit behind due to billing cycles.)

no easy way to check which mod it was with the current scripts?

We can run queries on the mod dump, so we could see all content packs with format version 1.23 which were updated within the last month in theory.

I was looking in Gamae1 for some reason. <_<

gentle rose

I wonder if they'll all be like one language/type of mod or something or if it will be random

tender bloom

It’s probably tied to some tutorial

calm nebula

Also, congratulations on the 10k!!!!!!

So, DNT now does a sanity check of:

    Game1.currentLocation.GetWeather().weather.Contains("Rain"))

SDVpufferthinkblob say, the mod compat list doesnt check for source code links before a mod is published, right

The mod metadata (like the mod page description) is fetched into a local cache whenever it changes, then the source links are parsed out of it when the mod is added to the compatibility list.

The extraction logic is pretty straightforward:

private string GetGitHubRepo(IManifest manifest, ParsedMod mod)
{
    // from update key
    foreach (string rawUpdateKey in manifest?.UpdateKeys ?? Array.Empty<string>())
    {
        string updateKey = rawUpdateKey?.Trim();
        if (updateKey?.StartsWith("GitHub", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) == true)
        {
            Match match = Regex.Match(updateKey, @"^GitHub\s*:\s*(.+)");
            if (match.Success)
                return match.Groups[1].Value;
        }
    }

    // from mod description
    string description = this.TryGetModDescription(mod);
    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(description))
    {
        MatchCollection matches = Regex.Matches(description, @"github\.com/([a-z0-9_\-\.]+/[a-z0-9_\-\.]+)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
        foreach (Match match in matches)
        {
            string repo = match.Groups[1].Value;

            if (repo.StartsWith("Pathoschild/", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
                continue; // this is usually not the mod's source link (e.g. links to the Content Patcher docs, or copy/pasted without changing the link)

            return repo;
        }
    }

    // none found
    return null;
}

private string GetCustomSourceUrl(ParsedMod mod)
{
    // from mod description
    string description = this.TryGetModDescription(mod);
    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(description))
    {
        Match match = Regex.Match(description, @"(gitlab\.com/[a-z0-9_\-\.]+/[a-z0-9_\-\.]+|sourceforge\.net/p/[a-z0-9_\-\.]+)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
        if (match.Success)
            return $"https://{match.Groups[1].Value}";
    }

    // none found
    return null;
}

So some possibilities are:

  • the source link isn't in the update keys or mod description;
  • or it doesn't match the pattern (e.g. it's not on GitHub);
  • or it was added later, after it was already added to the compatibility list.

Hey! My sincerest apologies if this is an FAQ, or the wrong place, but does anyone have any recommendations for pixel art programs? Specifically for creating portraits, maps, sprites, ect. Thank you!

Some of the most common/popular are listed there but plenty of people use some random thing that they like

it seems that the ones being indexed are specifically the format=RawDownload links, not the base log itself

As long as it has transparency and layers imo that’s enough

I use PikoPixel, which is both ancient and barebones

For more advanced events (like creating a fully custom event with conditions and rewards), you would use a .yaml event script that integrates with the game’s event system. Here's an example of how to handle a more complex event with extra dialogue and choices:

when has the game ever used yaml for anything???

I think Ameise did for SpriteMaster?

Yeah, it was one of those two.

ah, I see. So it was a specific mod

uncut viper

this is recent and probably not actually why

the answer is probably more likely "ai is ridiculously stupid"

rancid temple

Oh, I was looking through a source repo the other day that had some yaml in it, can't remember what it was though

gentle rose
#

yup. It now seems to believe that there's a mod called "Custom NPCs" (which there might be, idk) that requires it, but its own links are broken

ivory plume

(For more niche topics, AI is like a schoolkid doing a presentation they haven't prepared for so they're making things up as they go along and hoping the teacher doesn't notice.)

And also sometimes for known topics

I like to treat Chat GPT like a semi knowledgable coworker. I use it to bounce ideas off of and check my work, but mostly do everything myself

blissful panther

using MEEP

I think not.

versed wyvern
#

AI being incapable of just saying "Sorry I dunno lol" has a lot to do with that

gentle rose

one time I asked it to find the square root of some keymash of numbers I gave it and it even got that wrong somehow. Then tried to gaslight me by telling me it used a calculator to find out DogeSmile

rancid temple

I like to read AI like it's me but I'm answering about a topic I only have vague knowledge about and a lot of assumptions

versed wyvern
#

Makes sense if you think about it, the way they trawl the internet for data they must have gotten a LOT of people being confidently wrong and dying on those hills

gentle rose
#

I like to treat AI like a toddler who has expert parents and goes with them to work every day. It can regurgitate relevant data, sometimes with impressive accuracy and relevance, but can't understand what the info means

#

and can sometimes just veer into correct-sounding but entirely made up territories

fervent horizon
gentle rose
#

(in fairness, people forget that that's literally all that chatgpt is from the get go. It's just an algorithm that can recreate believable-sounding conversations really well)

fervent horizon
#

or when it makes up a method, and you tell it, that method doesn't exist, but this one does, and a few variations later it is back to trying to use it's made up method

calm nebula

I think I once got it Uber confused on the purpose of strained silicon

fervent horizon
#

Honestly though, I knew 0 C# before a month ago, and ChatGPT has helped me get syntax and such down pretty good

tender bloom
#

I get really pissed off mostly when someone uses ChatGPT to write a pile of garbage and then asks for help (aka — please rewrite it for me). People using it for programming is probably less dumb than plenty of other things people try to use it for, because you can at least immediately test your code to see if it works.

versed wyvern
#

I just get pissed off at everything trying to shoehorn it into products like it's actually functional

uncut viper
#

i think even if it was correct more often it wouldnt be worth the energy when you can instead just google things

rancid temple
#

Even working code is usually just barely working

versed wyvern
gentle rose
#

honestly my main issue with it for non-code stuff is that I have to use other methods to check if it's right first before I can trust it. For code at least you can check if it works, but you're missing out on a lot of best practices and possibly much better ways of doing things

fervent horizon
#

I think the misconception is that people think it will do things for you even if you don't know those things, but it is a tool, and tools have to be utilized by someone with at least a basic knowledge of what the end goal is

uncut viper
gentle rose
#

plus, I'm personally a believer that if someone can't code, it isn't always a bright idea to just give them code, because they won't have the skills to debug it or continue it and that can be an issue of its own

#

it's better to send them to a tutorial/explain the code instead

fervent horizon
#

Speaking of code, anyone know a best practice for updating images in real time on the GMCM

teal bridge
#

You have to write to the actual Texture2D instance.

brittle ledge
#

I figured it must be some popular tutorials but wasn't sure which ones. Lemur's makes since since they're popular and from that era.

#

(also irocendar please feel free to edit the wiki! we would love the help! SDVpufferheart )

#

related to this: how much C# do you think someone would have to understand to do a simple, basic C# mod?

rigid oriole
#

i feel if you know another programming language, the basic concepts are not too difficult

brittle ledge
#

with things like CP you can get by with tutorials by aping what someone else is doing without needing to understand the code concepts, and if you're doing a crop mod you don't need to know how dispositions work

#

but I kinda feel like you'd need to grok the C# basics enough to understand what the bulk of the code is doing?

gentle rose
#

just to make extra sure, the current stable CP format version is 2.4, right?

uncut viper
#

for a very basic C# mod you can do the same thing

#

if you have very basic examples to follow and copy

rigid oriole
brittle ledge
#

uncut viper
#

you just wont be able to branch out, same if you dont understand CP or json

brittle ledge
#

what would be the kind of basic C# mod you could do by copying?

gentle rose
#

the author guide for CP currently says to use 2.4.0 as the latest format version, but I wonder if it just wasn't updated to 2.4.4

tender bloom
uncut viper
#

i think one could copy an AssetRequested event to add an item with C#

#

the button pressed example on the wiki is also small and copyable

fervent horizon
tender bloom
#

If you know how to program in a vaguely similar language, all you have to do is read the SMAPI wiki docs and you can do a bunch of stuff

fervent horizon
#

I knew python, and some javascript

uncut viper
#

you dont need to know what AssetRequested is or does to know "if i copy and paste this but replace this text with my own it will work"

gentle rose
#

I knew next to no C# before starting either, but like everyone said, familiarity with other languages really helps with the basics

tender bloom
#

If you do not know how to program, you must learn a bunch of basics like:

  • if/else statements
  • for loops
  • variable types
  • methods/functions
    etc
#

These are like the basics of basics, there's a bunch of stuff you'll also hit if you go deeper

I could read code with help on a couple keywords and no other training

So it took me about 2 weeks IRL time to write my first mod?

Creating a mod to replace the Spook Fish sprite, I could not calculate the coordinates, selecting the sprite in paint, it showed me the coordinates 384x624. But it gives me an error.

hmm. I might add a note that their tool may be out of date in the tutorial then

#

it's such a pet peeve of mine when the link text is "here" or "click here" 😭 bad practice for screen readers/accessibility devices

brittle ledge
#

(you can edit that too!)

gentle rose
#

(I am! I'm redoing that whole section rn)

brittle ledge
#

I'm not sure what best practice is, I assume just making the link a natural part of the text?

#

(think it's labeled as "link" on my older rec lists)

gentle rose
#

for screen readers, you should either leave the link as is or, if you want to use an embedded link, make the text the name/description of what it's linking to

#

anything like "link" or "click here" as the text can make it tricky for screen readers to correctly tell people what to click on, which is an accessibility problem! just one of those small web accessibility things that are worth learning

uncut viper

wcag my beloved

yep, and all images should have description text

glossy cargo

What would be the correct way to access the english DisplayName of something (ex: BigCraftableData) when the game is currently running in a different language?

ivory plume
#

(The ideal is descriptive link text, so you know what it points to without needing to read the surrounding context. For example, replace "see mod compatibility list here" with "see mod compatibility list".)

gentle rose
glossy cargo

I used to do this:

_englishContentManager = new ContentManager(Game1.game1.Content.ServiceProvider, Game1.game1.Content.RootDirectory);
var englishCraftableData = _englishContentManager.Load<Dictionary<string, BigCraftableData>>("Data\\BigCraftables");

And this works, but it doesn't include currently loaded modded content, only the vanilla stuff. I need a way to do it and get any possible data currently active

brittle ledge
#

oh Pathos, I saw the latest stats and saw you're still tracking BFAV packs? I thought you dropped the ones that were below 100?

fervent horizon
#

A lot of those got converted this last month

ivory plume
#

Yep, that's a mistake; I have a new script to auto-generate that section and it didn't correctly exclude BFAV. I'll fix that now.

brittle ledge

Are the other packs still over 100?

Well, what I need is the english display strings.
Specifically, some mods have decided to have their Name and english DisplayName be different. For user convenience, we want our external tools to use the english DisplayNames so that users can more easily find the items in-game afterwards. But then, if the user is playing in, for example, french, then both the Name (which is english, but different), and the DisplayName (which is french), do not match the external data­. So from this french user's session, I need to find a way to get to the english DisplayName

(The example in front of my right now is Archaeology's Ancient Battery Production Station. The Name is just Ancient Battery)

royal stump

handling the tokenized strings would be easier bc you can just do some string parsing of your own to grab what string its trying to load and load it yourself

sorry I had to go find one of our cats im back

I could do a list but I was hoping to let the player just put something in the config like ... idk i have no clue what they'd want instead of "Kid" but I've heard many people say they don't like that Mr.Qi calls em that so I was thinking of doing it so that they could put whatever in there

my npc has a json called "hodgepodge" that has (among other things) a bunch of the miscellaneous weird places that dialogue hides out

though i believe tia is correct, from a "newbie modder" standpoint, it's unnecessary to tell them about things outside the scope

I added Characters/Dialogue/MarriageDialogue to the Dateable NPCs area

Pretty much any mod that adds actual content (objects, machines, npcs, doors, recipes, etc etc) inherently breaks with AP because they have content that behaves as if it's shuffled, but wasn't taken into account so it never gets unlocked.
That's why we introduced the concept of "supported mods", mods that we actually go over and add the content. But they are added mostly vibes based. Like if anyone likes the mod enough to add it to Archipelago, I don't stop them. That's how we got SVE. But also, it takes active maintenance work when said mod is also actively updating, so if the person steps away, then we get stuck on an older version. That's how we got stuck on SVE 1.14 until a kind soul comes along and helps us randomize the SVE 1.15 content pepePleading

#

I personally don't add much mod content, as I have my hands full with the vanilla content and features. But I help people when they are trying, by giving tips, pointers, and code architecture to make their lives easier

#

But I do help maintaining it once it's in, as it feels bad to remove stuff that was worked hard for just because a little thing broke (ex: Luck skill moving to spacecore luck skill)

brittle ledge
#

It's really cool that you do all that SDVpufferheart I haven't played it yet but I think Archipelago is pretty neat

Randomizers in general or Archipelago in particular?

ouh, yeah i can definitely see how Random Crap Go™️ especially if a mod adds so many items would affect it

It is haha. I discovered it from the Starcraft 2 implementation, and ended up making stardew during christmas break because I was bored

brittle ledge
#

it's also nice that people with completely disparate games can play together too SDVpufferheart

glossy cargo
#

It works well solo as well, as it is significantly different from mods like More Random Edition. We are more progression-based (random tasks unlock things that let you progress), as opposed to them that are more "Random bullshit go!". But since it's designed for multiworld, even solo play requires the extra setup and the server, so there are downsides

light bramble
#

is 500g too much for a large cheese price?

glossy cargo
#

Also Archipelago garantees winnability, as opposed to some randomizers that are just like "I give you random stuff and you'll probably figure it out", because in a multiworld with 1000 players, it would suck if everyone had to give up because one person had a bad roll

#

Strange Machines (the 1.6 version) doesn't, I'm pretty sure

glossy cargo

Basically, we have a truckload of rules.
Things like
To enter skull cavern, you need a skull key and access to the desert
To get Gold Ore, you need access to floor 80 of the mines, a tier 3 pickaxe, and a tier 3 weapon
Stuff like that. Many games have strict rules for what is possible, but in stardew we instead take the approach of rules for what is reasonable, as a lot of things are technically possible to grind but would suck.
Combine thousands of these rules, and a smart randomization algorithm made by Archipelago Core (not me), and you get a generator able to generate winnable playthroughs for any number of intertwined games

#

Stardew has probably one of the most complex rulesets of any archipelago games, due to how many game mechanics there are that interact with each other in crazy ways

velvet narwhal

👋 hi, door logic is stupid and i have suckered 4 people so far and even gotten a vanilla fix for one very very niche thing i wanted

and due to that, we often find emergent patterns that nobody invented but become critical to the randomizer.

# brittle ledge I always wondered what a logic map for Stardew would look like. In a lot of gam...

at the very beginning of the project, we quickly realized that, and built an entire logic framework to abstract away as much of it as possible, to make it maintainable.
As a result, we have extremely modular and easy to develop code, that ends up dynamically generating, at runtime, the "real" rules, which are massive and convoluted to the point of ridiculousness.

As an example, we have a rules parser that prints the end result of one rule of choice. Once, we tried to find which rule was the worst.
Turns out it is ||The Night market Sale of Rarecrow # 8|| (Spoilered if anyone wants to try to guess it)

The rule itself, when printed in a human-readable format, is over 800 000 characters long, about as long as two average novels

4: If you do not have access to carpenter shop, but have access to her bedroom, you can traverse to Exit through the main entrance

And as a bonus, in the case of 3 and 4, you also get access to Robin's shop, which is also critical

is it even possible in regular play not to have access to the shop but to have access to her bedroom?

tender bloom

Might depend on time of day?

glossy cargo
#

In regular play you always have access to the shop. But with doors randomizer, maybe the door that leads to the shop is the Island Farmhouse, but the door that leads to the bedroom is your farmcave. So the friendship allows you to traverse Farm -> Farmcave -> Maru room -> Carpenter shop -> Exit to Island Farm -> Now you have access to half of GI

You can back calculate these from the wiki

I'm just upset because I want to make sure that the large animal prods I am adding have a good price...

tender bloom

Good price is going to depend on how they get made—does it take time to make them?

#

Iridium quality cheese takes a week to age, for example

light bramble
#

It's just large milk in cheese press gives large cheese

tender bloom
#

So if yours is instant, then pricing it the same as iridium would make it definitely valuable

In vanilla, that gives gold star cheese

So you can use gold star cheese price as the benchmark

On the upside, I decided I didn't want to publish an update just for compat with one oddball mod, so I also added new rooms to the lobby and added outside lighting?

#

So I'll have a New Years Eve release after I'm done nomming dinner. LOL

brittle ledge
#

I mean if it was something that was 1.5 era I would've just said nah, but that's a recent mod, so yeah, I'd at least try compat if it were my mod

glossy cargo
#

I made a release earlier that I announced as
Last release of 2024! (probably theresasweat)

#

an hour and a half to go, no new bug reports yet 🤞

latent mauve
#

hey Tiakall, do you know off hand if the spot to the right of Robin's is used by anything?

gentle rose
#

I was so confused why the screenshots on that crazy tree mod looked so weird to me and then I realised they used clear glasses for their screenshots 😭 I will never get used to that style

latent mauve
#

Or anybody, really

brittle ledge
latent mauve
#

No, the Backwoods is the to left.

#

I mean on the low cliff to the right of Robin

brittle ledge
#

oh hm

#

the one by the warp shrine?

latent mauve
#

SVE doesn't, I did check that one.

gentle rose
#

I vaguely remember some sve thing to the right? but I could be very wrong

latent mauve
#

The cliff one lower than the warp shrine

brittle ledge
#

oh, the bottom edge of the map?

#

There's a vanilla shortcut near the water iirc

latent mauve
#

It's still a hole INTO the cliff face for my entrance

#

I just moved it onto a lower cliff

gentle rose
#

anyway, happy 2025 everyone!!!

latent mauve
#

So it's not on the bottom edge of the map either, I'll screenshot it in a minute

brittle ledge
#

ohh you mean this?

image.png
latent mauve
#

yes! It's on the left edge of that

#

so before the SVE bush inset

gentle rose
#

wait until the other mod posts a compat update for your mod that also moves their entrance one cliff down DogeSmile

brittle ledge
#

Nothing adds to that that I know of. Map mods tend to rearrange the terrain there, though at this point I think the only functional ones are SVE and Overgrown Valley

velvet narwhal
#

suspicious does anything happen to uh

brittle ledge
#

Overgrown Valley's description says it modifies mountain so you may want to check

latent mauve
#

ick

velvet narwhal
#

that cliff under the pink tree thonk

#

I'm tempted to ignore Overgrown for compat purposes until someone complains. >_>

brittle ledge
#

Does it change the cliff?

#

thinking about running overgrown and LNH's new areas just so I know what they touch SBVLmaoDog

latent mauve
#

I don't know, I had to go to Kofi to download it, which is more effort than I wanted

gentle rose
#

I don't think overgrown changes things like that but I can check for you quickly

latent mauve
#

well, I'd need to know both locations potentially for Overgrown

gentle rose
#

do you want a screenshot of the mountains with overgrown enabled?

latent mauve
#

sure

#

as long as it doesn't expand up, that should be enough to check

gentle rose
#

looks unchanged to me

latent mauve
#

yay

gentle rose
#

here's it without overgrown vs with on the same save. Virtually no difference (I just wanted to make extra sure before I led you astray lol)

thinking of drawing a little icon overlay on certain items in inventory/menus. stack size is bottom right... do any really popular mods typically use any of the other corners? (i'm not worried about the thumbs-up icon for already-read books)

gentle rose
#

isn't the quality star top left

#

like the silver/gold/iridium indicator

#

nope. bottom left DogeSmile

tiny zealot
#

actually, do i even need to be worried about the stack size

glossy cargo
latent mauve
#

huh, so, in case anyone else was considering flipping the tiles for the black sideways armchair, know that the furniture isn't properly sittable on the opposite side. xD

glossy cargo
#

But we use top right on the calendar for tasks, and bottom left for traveling cart days

rancid temple
#

I didn't want to record opening them all...

glossy cargo
#

We also use top left on the elevator menus

Smol

#

Is it a fairy?

latent mauve
#

no, that's the archipelago symbol, I think

glossy cargo
#

yes it's this icon apcolorcustom

#

the archipelago symbol is apcolor , but we had a nice person make custom pixel art for stardew to make it fit a bit better with the style

#

We let users pick which icon set they prefer between the two

brittle pasture
rancid temple
#

I'm probably gonna release this update to EMA with just this functionality but I am interested in making double doors open together regardless of which one you activate

glossy cargo
#

And it has colored variants to give more info. For example the red one is a trap for someone, and should be avoided

tender bloom
latent mauve
#

It definitely is.

glossy cargo
#

The one with the arrow is a progression item that will unlock something for someone

tender bloom
#

It probably doesn’t know what a left or right is

#

Only knows chair here

latent mauve
#

That happens if you pick left or right instead of opposite in the ChairTiles direction, mhm

#

Only red chairs are allowed to face left, apparently.

glossy cargo
#

That's... specific lmao

latent mauve
#

It's the only big chair sprite that faces that way natively in the tilesheet

image.png
glossy cargo
#

Here is what it looks like with the other icon set. Imo both look good so that's why I made it a config and let users choose

# rancid temple Doors!

oh i haven't asked it, but i assume it'd still have the functionality of the npc relationship bit cause iirc you said it's set up the same exact way thonk

rancid temple
#

Yep, it's still using the regular Door Action

velvet narwhal
#

nice

placid bolt
#

I'm sure I'm missing something silly, but I'm trying to follow the Get Started page for modding on the wiki and I get this warning that I think is stopping the Modding API from loading properly;

The analyzer assembly '<path>\SMAPI.ModBuildConfig.Analyzer.dll' references version '4.9.0.0' of the compiler, which is newer than the currently running version '4.8.0.0'.
All I can find online is generic indications that I might have the wrong framework target but as far as I can tell I'm using the latest SDK for net6.0. Any ideas?

tiny zealot
#

i think you want to install the SDK for net8 or some newer dotnet. you can target net6 even with newer SDKs

placid bolt
#

Thanks! It's still showing the warning, but it does seem to be loading the Modding API now so it might not be an issue anymore?

velvet narwhal
#

what does your csproj property look like?

uncut viper
#

(i think one of my projects actually gets that too but if its a warning it doesnt actually stop it from building. dunno why it happens)

velvet narwhal
# 
<TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>```
you can still get some of the fancy stuff iirc with just a latest langver but i still just force this
rancid temple
#

I was warned away from using latest and told to target something specific like 12

velvet narwhal
#

fair enough

placid bolt
#

I don't have a LangVersion property at all lol, must be using a default

rancid temple
#

Yeah that's an optional property

tender bloom
#

You don’t have to have one iirc

velvet narwhal
#

it's just if you wanted uhhhhhh

#

button uses it a lot, hash... sets? timnk

#

or a lot of fancier stuff that i have yet to wrap my brain around

placid bolt
#

Ah that might be it; there's a visual studio update that I haven't installed

tender bloom
#

I usually call it a day once it compiles

#

No more smacking unless a bug appears

odd bloom
#

how does one type in the code for monster fruit wine? Is it like FlashShifter.StardewValleyExpandedCP_Monster_Fruit_Wine?

placid bolt
tender bloom
#

Or look it up in the SVE files SDVpufferyoba

#

(I think they’re more organized now? But there’s a lot in there)

odd bloom
tiny zealot
tender bloom
#

Lookup Anything has some configs

brittle pasture
#

is this C#?

#

either way (CP or C#) if item queries are supported you can use something like FLAVORED_ITEM Wine FlashShifter.StardewValleyExpandedCP_Monster_Fruit

#

I don't think monster fruit wine is a separate item on its own, but just vanilla wine "flavored" with monster fruit

#

(whoops correction)

odd bloom
#

I think so too cuz I remember seeing an error one time where the code is like

(FlashShifter.StardewValleyExpandedCP_Monster_Fruit) Wine

when the json had an error one time

rancid temple
#

If you mean spawning through the console, you probably won't be able to, the console only supports a super limited list of flavored items

brittle pasture
#

yeah console spawning doesnt support item queries iirc

odd bloom
#

oh no I'm not tryna spawn it dw lolol
