Yeah, with just an action it gives an empty box

uncut viper
#

well
at that point thats a vanilla dialogue quirk i suppose and i dont know if theres much i can do about that with DialogueNox itself, that would be something to eventually think about with a QuestionBox action

versed wyvern
#

Seems like it, but thanks for digging into the matter for me anisoftbongo

uncut viper
#

make it say "Enjoy before it gets cold!" and call it a feauture, this coffee machine is polite

versed wyvern
#

It also means I have it to give it dialogue for when you don't want coffee, so I'm gonna make it disappointed 4evil

i don't even know if i can find it, but iirc it was a vsc plugin

text exploder? I’m already so in

velvet narwhal

was it confetticode

This means I can do only math in it? 😭

Actually no, it should be compatible!

uncut viper
#

see the query expressions link for more info

#

it will not use GSQs

#

there is no possible way to use Game State Queries themselves in a content patcher when condition without a different mod to facilitate it (Esca';s Modding Plugins)

tough crater
#

Damn, that sounds like it's a challenge for me to accomplish in C# 😈

#

I just gotta figure out how C# works 🥲

uncut viper
#

there is no reason to make a game state query token if you can write C# yourself instead

tough crater
#

I feel like if I were to ask help on accomplishing it, it'd result in someone just writing out the code for me so it's pretty intimidating 😭 I followed the basic tutorial on the stardew wiki and it works at least!

#

took a while to figure it out because i accidentally added code in there that broke it 💀

uncut viper
#

no i mean theres literally no reason. you dont need to when you can check the same conditions yourself in C# and if necessary just make a token for that, not GSQs in general

tough crater
#

Making ALL GSQs work for "when" conditions sounds like too much work

I just found the stardew DLL so I should be good for now actually

#

Can you code in a "boss fight"?

velvet narwhal
#

i mean anything is possible with c#

jolly sable
#

Fair enough

versed wyvern
#

A couple of modders have made some, one ported from Terraria

velvet narwhal
#

some suggestions that are regurgitated from chue: make your own animation controller, game's sucks

teal bridge
#

Also: make your own NPC controller
Also: make your own projectile system
Also: make your own game engine

gaunt orbit
lucid iron
#

there's no content pack framework to make boss fight

#

in terms of making ur own bespoke boss in C# u can do whatever u want if its just a few enemies sleep

jolly sable
lucid iron
#

every mod that does it is C# i believe

#

since the base game's enemy mechanics r so barebones

jolly sable
#

What if the boss worked like a pre-existing enemy?

lucid iron
#

then they would be kind of lame monS

uncut viper
#

well then thats just an enemy. and you're still probably looking at C# anyway

velvet narwhal
lucid iron
#

u can do it tho, SVE and RSV have those really fat worms

#

with a gorillion hp

tiny zealot
#

hot take: bosses are just enemies

gaunt orbit

#

but otherwise normal wormy behaviors

uncut viper
#

what would you describe as normal wormy behaviours, chu

lucid iron
#

i believe all u need is FTM in this case, and theres also feature to prevent the froge from eating ur fat worm

velvet narwhal
#

~wiggle~

#

hi esca

lucid iron

normal worm behavior

velvet narwhal

yeah if you just want regular reskinned monster tactics but more health, it'd be FTM

#

Kinda unrefined

gaunt orbit
uncut viper
#

i enjoy minecraft combat tons more

gaunt orbit
#

swords use the tool system, which is really meant for slow heavy hitters and doesn't translate well to combat

jolly sable
#

I think a part of that is the 3D

#

What I am saying is, both are very surface level

#

Not very complex

invincibility?

There's no real AI system, you have to write your own from scratch.

#

monsters are just a reason for my parrot to create shiny coins

tiny zealot
#

well, everybody is complaining about how much it sucks, so maybe my take is hot

gaunt orbit
brittle pasture
#

it's about as complex as the fishing minigame, and it's fine; they are both minigames that give you resources in exchange for time

velvet narwhal
#

i finagled a treant that doesn't move until it's out of the player's view to slowly scooch towards the player so that was fun and Scary™️

gaunt orbit
#

which is mostly an issue when you get late game, and the only way to make things more challenging is bigger numbers

uncut viper
#

still waiting for someone to make a turn based combat mod

velvet narwhal
#

Maybe Someday™️

#

tbh it might be possible with stardewui thonk

jolly sable
#

This boss fight idea may overcomplicate the mod I had in mind anyway. At least for the moment.

I may try out coding it myself someday though.

teal bridge
#

Bigger numbers generally != more challenging, though, just more tedious. I mean, I agree that it is essentially the only option without designing in new mechanics and new systems to implement them. But, see earlier re: being not really fun to play.

versed wyvern
#

I think with Stardew's simplistic combat one could at least manage bosses like Zelda A Link to the Past, which honestly mostly consisted of "swipe wildly at big thing"

jolly sable
#

More or less what I had in mind

royal stump
#

you could pretty much recreate a lot of LTTP dungeons at this point, and the combat feels mostly similar, yeah

teal bridge
#

In games with more fully fleshed out difficulty curves, increased difficulty usually means stuff like new move sets, faster reaction times, maybe certain handicaps.

royal stump
#

(those sliding spike things are a monster type)

versed wyvern
#

But you'd have to code a lot of custom projectiles tracking your position

lucid iron
#

one idea i have for alternate combat is to force player to use slingshots

teal bridge
#

lol, that's just a big middle finger to controller users.

lucid iron
#

as in, have an area where sord literally doesnt work PecoSmile

#

yea that is pretty doom

#

so it'd have to be some kinda fancy homing slingshot

versed wyvern
#

Sword special move being 1-sec invincibility also strikes me as an obstacle for good boss design ThinkO_O

#

How do you force the player to dodge instead of just pressing one button

lucid iron
#

someone was making a harp weapon that was gonna have a melee attac and a projectile special

royal stump
#

have it just sit directly on them until their i-frames end SDVpufferowo

teal bridge
#

I'd actually thought about trying to redesign the slingshot controls for controllers at one point, but it never got high enough on the list.

#

I think I saw one or two existing mods attempting to do it, too, but didn't try them out. Maybe they work.

uncut viper
#

(you can also just override the parry)

lucid iron
#

maybe u fight a vampire and u gotta shoot garlic at him

velvet narwhal
#

make my own parry, with blackjack and hoo-

versed wyvern
#

gnome parry

lucid iron
#

with the zelda thing of smacking him when he's weakened

lucid mulch
#

Having played hard mode sve with the profession mod stuff, I found combat to be enjoyable enough

teal bridge
#

How about a boss fight that requires the fishing rod.

lucid mulch
#

When the enemies 2 shot you, strategy mattered

royal stump
#

(use CP to reskin bombs into garlic and use a vampire skin on a mummy SDVpuffersmart)

versed wyvern
#

These kinds of fights would also make at least a +1 Speed buff mandatory, I reckon

royal stump
#

(though I kinda forget how their mechanics work at this point)

teal bridge
#

Like, glacially slow. Go get another cup of coffee kind of slow.

versed wyvern
#

Well, balancing for base speed also presents the inverse direction of that problem where it becomes trivial if you do have a speed buff

teal bridge
brittle pasture
lucid mulch
velvet narwhal
#

does the bobber have a hitbox?

brittle pasture
#

dodge attack, fish, shoot item, dodge attack, repeat

velvet narwhal
#

cause honestly That's A Thought, to be able to grab pieces of the boss thonk

teal bridge
royal stump
#

I'm pretty sure it doesn't interact with enemies at all, so you'd need to patch it a bunch

teal bridge
#

But honestly I was thinking more of what Jamore just said.

velvet narwhal
#

make some kind of hookshot then ig, somehow force a tile update like hoeing the ground to tie the boss down

teal bridge
#

I'm not sure if the bobber really has a "hitbox" per se, I think all vanilla logic just calculates the tile it lands on.

royal stump
#

yeah, you could probably make a custom tool and crib some animation from whatever the frog trinket's draw code is like SDVkrobusgiggle

teal bridge
#

But that's not so different from a lot of "collision" mechanics in Stardew.

velvet narwhal
#

i honestly do not know how the slingshot works and i'm kind of afraid to look at it

teal bridge
#

Have fun just figuring out what precisely the slingshot is. It's a tool, and yet, not a tool.

jolly sable
#

Ok something that might make the combat a bit more interesting.

A dodge mechanic

velvet narwhal
#

wasn't casey working on dodgeroll

royal stump
#

(oh right, the frog tongue is just a stretched pixel, I was misremembering it as a chain of orbs)

teal bridge
#

Heh, get ready for the slowest dodge rolls ever seen in a 2D game.

velvet narwhal
#

or was that someone else that made some kind of "rolling" mechanic

brittle pasture
#

that sounds like extra pant sprites

teal bridge
#

Probably easiest to do as a "dash" rather than a "roll". Which, again, vanilla speed...

velvet narwhal
#

i think dash is a mod, yeah

brittle pasture
#

yeah I remember one of the MARGO component mods add a dash attack

teal bridge
#

I think there is like a Sprint Shoes type mod, but there is also a Combat Dash mod?

#

Oh, MARGO. (Whatever that is.)

tiny zealot
jolly sable
teal bridge
#

To be functional as a combat mechanic at all it would pretty much have to be faster than vanilla horse (without additional speed buffs). So it would have to be restricted some other way, e.g. with a cooldown. If you can figure out how to make this coherent in a Stardew context, I salute you.

jolly sable
#

Could maybe do a thing where you have a more muted version outside of the mines. Meanwhile the full dodge is only in the mines

#

I think that it controlling different in the mines could work. Honestly that could be a way to balance it with the rest of the game.

#

Additionally though, it wouldn't give any I frames, it'd just be a repositioning tool

gaunt orbit
#

actually, speakign of terraria, a slime rain would be fun, and I think doable with Cloudy Skies

I sprited up a coffee machine and forgot there's a coffee maker item I could've used right there in the game

I forgot you had a reminder for it because I didn't have a reminder to remind me about the reminder

vernal crest

Oh whew okay thank you for telling me. I was just thinking that I would hate it if someone else already told him and then I brought it up and looked stupid because it was already dealt with.

uncut viper
#

thankfully I noticed then SDVpuffersmile it exists as a bug report on the SMAPI GitHub now

tough crater
vernal crest
uncut viper
#

i wouldn't be able to explain it any better than the CP docs for simple tokens, and advanced tokens are highly token-dependent and something I never think I'm doing right in the first place either

vernal crest
#

Do the CP docs have info for how to make a token in C#?

uncut viper
#

They do!

#

under the Extensibility page iirc

vernal crest
#

Huh, not where I would expect to find that information lol

uncut viper
#

well, tokens are a CP thing

vernal crest
#

I assumed they were just a concept and a CP token is one instance of that concept but not the only way.

#

But I guess if you're trying to make a C# token to use in a CP pack, that would make sense lol

uncut viper
#

nope! Tokens as we know them are an entirely content patcher thing, and you can add more using content patchers API

tough crater
uncut viper
#

not to be confused with tokenizable strings, a vanilla concept added in 1.6

#

i wish there was a youtube tutorial for it

jolly sable
#

Does anyone have a good set of tutorials for making mods?

#

Or starting with that?

uncut viper
#

depends what kind of mod you wanna make

jolly sable
#

Hm. I'll start simple with something like a custom item

#

Then maybe a recipe

uncut viper
#

!startmodding has general getting started stuff

ocean sailBOT
#

Making mods can be broadly divided into two categories:

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

To use this command, type !startmodding.
uncut viper
#

good way to learn is also to find an existing mod that does what you want (something simple ideally, not something huge and expansive) and look at how they did it

jolly sable
#

Makes sense. I am also being reminded of how terrifying the prospect of jumping into coding is

I've created an instance of IClickableMenu to draw a menu which lets you select yes or no as answer. It works perfectly fine with a mouse but gamepads aren't able to select an answer. How do I add support for them?

uncut viper
#

manually, by giving your clickable components IDs and neighbours and handling things in the button received functions. id look at how vanilla menus do it
or use StardewUI which is a framework mod for making UIs thats much better to work with

wide flint
#

That sound like more work than I expected. Thanks

uncut viper
#

yeah thats working with the games native ui system in a nutshell

#

im trying to add a building to a map, is there a good tiled tutorial?

uncut viper
#

!mapmaking

ocean sailBOT
#

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

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

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

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

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

To use this command, type !mapmaking.

Ok, I created a mod with animation of all the vanilla rings and now I'm trying to create compatibility for some other mods, initially I'm trying to animate for example the “Berserker Ring” of the mod “RingOverhaul” where the sprite is located in “RingOverhaul\assets\berserker_ring.png”, my test code looks like this:

    {
        "LogName": "Berserker Ring",
        "Action": "EditData",
        "Target": "spacechase0.SpaceCore/TextureOverrides",
        "When": {
            "BerserkerRingA": true,
            "HasMod|contains=Goldenrevolver.RingOverhaul": true
        },
        "Entries": {
            "KKzBG.AnimatedRingsPack_": {
                "TargetTexture": "Mods\\Goldenrevolver.RingOverhaul\\Berserker Ring",
                "TargetRect": {
                    "X": 0,
                    "Y": 0,
                    "Width": 16,
                    "Height": 16
                },
                "SourceTexture": "{{InternalAssetKey: assets/berserker_ring.png}}:0..1@20"
            }
        }
    }

I'm pretty sure my problem is in the “TargetTexture” in which I can't figure out where the berserker ring is, but it could be somewhere else,
I want that IF the mod “RingOverhaul” is active + the option “BerserkerRingA” is activated (which by default is activated), the animated texture of the berserker ring that I made comes into action, if either of the two options is not fulfilled the animated texture is ignored.

Could someone help me find out why my code isn't working?

proven spindle
#

Have you loaded the texture?

#

Goes something like

"Action": "Load",
"Target": "Mods/ModID/thingname",
"FromFile": "path/to/file.png"

raw harness
#

I don't know if I understand, for example here

    {
        “LogName": ‘Immunity Band’,
        “Action": ‘EditData’,
        “Target": ‘spacechase0.SpaceCore/TextureOverrides’,
        “When": {
            “ImmunityBand": true
        },
        “Inputs": {
            “KKzBG.AnimatedRingsPack_ImmunityBand": {
                “TargetTexture": ‘Maps/springobjects’,
                “TargetRect": {
                    “X": 368,
                    “Y": 576,
                    “Width": 16,
                    “Height": 16
                },
                “SourceTexture": ”{{InternalAssetKey: assets/immunityband.png}}:0..16@10”
            }
        }
    },

I made an animation for the “Immunity Band”, I pointed it to where the ring is in vanilla and everything worked perfectly, so in this case I wouldn't do the same thing but I would point it to where the “Berserker Ring” is in the “RingOverhaul” mod and it should work the same?

latent mauve
#

You can't point to things in another mod's folder, if that's what you mean

#

Does RingsOverhaul load the texture to anything?

#

Or does it use InternalAssetKeys for them?

#

If it's internal asset keys than you won't be able to target them

#

When there is a code like Si's example above, the mod is virtually loading a copy of the asset into the game files at the target location, which then makes it accessible to other mods that target the same loaded path.

mighty ginkgo
latent mauve
#

Mods can only target things within their own mod folder, things within the game files, or things virtually loaded into the game files.

raw harness
#

Oh. I see...

#

well I think I understand why it didn't fucking work lol

mighty ginkgo
#

i can't read c#, but if the texture is targetable with CP the path should be somewhere in the source

#

(not sure if there are other ways to find the correct path)

uncut viper
#

actually, no, its not targetable

#

it directly loads the texture

#

the C# equivalent of internalassetkey

#

so theres nothing you can do here

raw harness
#

yeah.. I mean, the mod I wanted to make involved vanilla rings, I thought I could add compatibility with other mods right away, but it's beyond my knowledge, I'll stick with what I wanted to achieve and maybe in the future I'll come back to the idea.

#

thanks for everyone's help. 🙂

uncut viper
#

to be clear, without a C# mod of your own doing some very fucky stuff to edit their mods code, its not something you'll be able to do later from your side, and 100% not from a content pack

#

its something the other mod should have done differently

latent mauve
#

You would not be able to make your mod compatible with theirs unless they rewrote their mod to not use direct loaded textures

raw harness
#

Well, that clears my mind at least I know that for my part I don't have much to do

How does one exit a Question Dialogue used in an instance of IClickableMenu?
It keeps popping up after clicking Yes/No. Pretty sure I'm just not seeing the issue or doing it wrong.

public override void draw(SpriteBatch b)
{
    Game1.currentLocation.createQuestionDialogue(
        Question,
        Game1.currentLocation.createYesNoResponses(),
        delegate (Farmer who, string answer)
        {
            Game1.activeClickableMenu = this;
            if (answer == "Yes")
            {
                Mod.LogMonitor.Log("Yes", StardewModdingAPI.LogLevel.Warn);
                return;
            }
            else
            {
                Mod.LogMonitor.Log("No", StardewModdingAPI.LogLevel.Warn);
                return;
            }
        }
    );
}
royal stump
#

draw happens every single frame that your instance (the menu?) exists in, so that's probably creating a new question dialogue constantly; you'd need to call it from somewhere else

wide flint
#

Ah, that was the hint i needed.
I wanted the question to show before another vanilla dialogue pops up.
Setting Game1.activeClickableMenu to the DialogueBox that happens afterwards when selecting an answer did the trick

The menus also confuse me sometimes

I think C# is way too complex for me to try to learn right now which is disappointing. I just struggle to understand how each bit works and if some text is meant to be replaced 😵‍💫

now i'm Very confused, patch exporting the map asset during summer shows it correctly but for some reason it's overlaying the base image on top on the map displayed ingame. during summer specifically. what

hmm okay, either World Maps Everywhere was breaking it or restarting the game when it's summer fixes it...?

There's something wrong with the code I'm trying out, but it's from Content Patcher's IContentPatcherAPI.cs the error I'm getting is saying that ContentPatcher.Framework; isn't part of the namespace even though I thought I did the proper code to reference it?

#

If I'm guessing right, it's probably an issue with how I tried inserting the reference to content patcher's API

lucid iron
#

You don't need to reference content patcher to use the api

tough crater
#

Huh

#

WHAT

lucid iron
tough crater
lucid iron
#

Not reference as in, no need for hard dll reference

#

My use case is that i only care about the register token method, and thus that's all i copied

tough crater
lucid iron
#

There is a duck typing thing called pintail that maps the real api class to the interface

#

Ofc there's no issue with copying the whole api, but u will also need to copy any additional interfaces that r part of the args

tiny zealot
#

i think i remember having this problem once, getting around it with a hard reference, then removing the ref later and trying the standard way again and it worked but i could not tell you what error i made the first time

lucid iron
#

Which the original api needed using content patcher framework for

#

I didn't want to deal with it hence this "only what i need" interface

tiny zealot
#

copying only the methods you use is recommended practice anyway, since it reduces the surface for future updates to that API breaking your mod

lucid iron
#

Say ichor what did u end up doing for secret notes framework api

#

When button (iirc) wanted to do edit to the custom asset from C#

tiny zealot
#

uh i didn't do anything about it yet

tough crater
lucid iron
#

I wrote these by hand

#

Use your own mod's namespace and organization

I feel like it'd be easier if I screen shared but idk if anyone's free for that rn

Is it possible to add minerals/gem that are not part of the mineral collection?

#

Actually just i18n. Assets is conventional but also not special

tawny ore
#

assets gets automatically copied on build

#

Not all folders are automatically copied

gaunt orbit
#

Yeah but you can configure any folder to do that

tawny ore
#

You can, but what I'm saying is it does have default treatment that's different from other folders

crude plank
# brittle pasture add the `not_museum_donatable` context tag

I'm looking at the Dwarven expansion dusts which are "Type": "Minerals" and have ContextTags "not_museum_donatable" but they appear in the Minerals collection and I told the author that now in order to have something appear not greyed out in the collection it needs to be donated and they said this: "Is this causing an actual issue reaching 100%? I can't image Pathos or ConcernedApe weren't unaware of that issue, and the not_museum_donatable is in the base game itself. If that causes an issue completing collections, it would need to be reported on the base game itself as it is simply a feature I'm using, not one I created. " But I've seen other mods add minerals that are not donatable and not appear in the collection so i was wondering how in order to respond to the author

gaunt orbit
#

Fair

tawny ore
#

Otherwise every folder (by default without manually configuring anything) is just there to organize

#

Anyway the point I was making is don't get hung up on the folders being special or having anything to do with the code working or not

brittle pasture
#

Those other mods I believe don't make those item minerals at all

crude plank
#

Ah i see, so the other minerals i've seen are just "Type": "Basic" with a custom category

that looks right if your shop is called KMF.blackmarket in the shop data. make sure your object

  1. is on the Buildings object layer
  2. is exactly lined up on the grid (it's Shift or Ctrl, i forget which)
  3. has the Name "TileData"
    and make sure you also have a map tile on the Buildings tile layer

Hiiiiii, I'm barely starting in terms of modding and, well, I'm encountering a small issue. I tried troubleshooting it with a few friends but I'm at my wits end. Mostly, I'm trying to add a new pet to Stardew Valley, it's a skeleton. I've tried to set BarkSound, ContentSound and BarkOverride to "cowboy_monsterDie", but the skeleton keeps meowing whenever I interact with him. I probably missed something, somewhere? Or I'm approaching it from the wrong angle 😅

The quotes aren't necessary to load an i18n, they're tokens that get replaced with strings

so there's some caveats when you're doing quickQuestion as well, if it's all in a single i18n key, you can throw away the \" \" entirely, and you'd put the # breaks inside of the i18n key

hi i have questions... about cts SDVpufferlurk

#

Contrast Tomography scans?

hard fern
#

so... like i kno you can make an event have a ct with it,

gentle rose
#

why do I know what ct stands for, anyway

hard fern
#

and as long as it's within the duration of a CT, any npc you give dialogue to will have something to say, but

#

once you talk to that npc, they just go back to their regular dialogue, right?

tough crater
#

yup! that's how conversation topics work

flat sluice
tough crater
#

you can also change the duration of a conversation topic (with limitations)

hard fern
#

so, i want my npc to not have their regular dialogue until a week after seeing a certain event, but with a ct, they'll only have the special ct dialogue for a day, then go back to normal, which i dont want

#

do i just make like 7 different CTs

flat sluice

#

I think so. You'd need to list the other mod as a dependency in order for them to work in yours I think

#

You don't have to give a damn at all about cts if you don't want to

flat sluice

#

betas, i see....

wanton pebble
#

Basically I can make a CT and you won't be affected unless you define the CT dialogue in your NPC's dialogue file

#

So if you put a dialogue key resourcerot in your file, then if you have PoaSB then they'll fire it during the wizard plot

#

But if not, resourcerot doesn't matter to you

Does anyone know if there is a token or other trigger for taking off the farmers shirts/clothes? I made a mod forever ago that changes the farmer's sleeves depending on season/weather and some of the sleeves change the arm shape which looks crazy when the shirt is taken off.

you can do it the hard way with incrementstat

wanton pebble

CTs can be run multiple times right?

velvet narwhal

so thats why i was thinking to make a CT that just kept triggering another CT until it was as many as i wanted

Someone on my mod page is saying custom tools don't require spacecore now, and for me make my mod without spacecore depedency as spacecore crashes their game. Is this true? They said "it's also not needed with the games new built in modding tools". Just wondering if anyone here knows about this

hard fern
#

umm well i can't speak on the tools part

#

but spacecore shouldnt be crashing their game

acoustic summit
#

Ikr, they don't believe me that spacecore is working in 1.6.10 haha

hard fern
#

if they won't listen to you, then...

proud wyvern
#

afaik while you can technically make a new custom tool, you still can't make a new subclass for one, as that will destroy your save file. SpaceCore is what lets you handle that

#

also that person is probably on Android SMAPI

acoustic summit
#

Yeah the serializer

#

The tool is a pretty funky one which needs custom logic, so unless theres some other way to serialize the subclass "built in" I guess tough luck to them

drowsy pewter
#

users just make stuff up

hard fern
#

if they're on android, shouldnt that be something to report to the android smapi discord?

acoustic summit
#

Or to spacecore, idk how it got to me

hard fern
#

instead of insisting you change something in your mod

proud wyvern
#

they probably know very well SpaceCore doesn't work on Android atm

#

(and honestly probably won't work anytime soon, if ever)

acoustic summit
#

Whats odd is they said spacecore does work on 1.5.6

drowsy pewter
#

well the android SMAPI for 1.5 and 1.6 are made by two different people

proud wyvern
#

ofc, 1.5.6 and 1.6 are different beasts on Android

hard fern
#

1.5.6 was the last time i remember android modding working properly, and someone had to make a new 1.6 android smapi

drowsy pewter
#

the 1.6 SMAPI is, lets just say, new

proud wyvern
#

the problem is, SpaceCore switched to using local variable names for its transpilers. these come from the .pdb files. i don't think that file is a thing on Android

#

Android SMAPI would specifically have to replace SpaceCore's transpilers with custom patches

#

not very maintainable

acoustic summit
#

Yeah, I don't think I can satisfy that person's request. Sorry bhy

lucid iron
#

Spacecore has the scary yellow warning at the start cus it touch save serialize blobcatgooglyblep

I do think the bug net tool u have could theoretically be done as a weapon and a dozen harmony patches but i too would simply go for save serialize and custom subclass monS

I'm trying to get the cursor position in CursorMovedEvent but for some reason the coordinates come out wrong? Anyone know what's that about?

CursorMovedEvent:

Log.D($"{Game1.getMouseX()}, {Game1.getMouseY()}");
Log.D($"{e.NewPosition.GetScaledScreenPixels().X}, {e.NewPosition.GetScaledScreenPixels().Y}");

Both print the same coordinates, so they're in agreement. But different from the below:

RenderedHudEvent:

e.SpriteBatch.DrawString(Game1.dialogueFont, $"{Game1.getMouseX()}, {Game1.getMouseY()}", new Vector2(33f, 33f + yOffset), Color.White);

Here the coordinates are correct.

blissful panther
#

In that event, it's probably because it's getting UI zoom level coordinates.

# 
public static int getMouseX()
{
    return Game1.getMouseX(Game1.uiMode);
}
public static int getMouseX(bool ui_scale)
{
    if (ui_scale)
    {
        return (int)((float)Game1.input.GetMouseState().X / Game1.options.uiScale);
    }
    return (int)((float)Game1.input.GetMouseState().X * (1f / Game1.options.zoomLevel));
}
mighty quest
#

hmm let me try non-scaled screen pixels

blissful panther
#

Although you'd think in the HUD rendered it would be the... same...

mighty quest
# 
Log.D($"{Game1.getMouseX()}, {Game1.getMouseY()}");
Log.D($"{e.NewPosition.GetScaledScreenPixels().X}, {e.NewPosition.GetScaledScreenPixels().Y}");
Log.D($"{e.NewPosition.ScreenPixels.X}, {e.NewPosition.ScreenPixels.Y}");

these all print the same

ill just try dividing the zoom scale manually

Hello! I'm trying to convert a custom bed mod that uses the custom furniture mod to content patcher and I'm having trouble with the bed spritesheets. I looked into how the default beds are created in the furniture file but in game it looks like the bed's sprite has been shifted down by one tile. I even tried comparing my code to another content patcher furniture mod I have installed that added a bed and tried doing it differently but the issue is till there.

Right now I have it done like this (I have tried using both the "bed" and the "bed double" types and the issue is the same)
"{{ModId}}_round_bed_1": "{{ModId}}_round_bed_1/bed/3 4/3 3/1/100/-1/{{i18n:round_bed_1.name}}/0/Mods\\{{ModId}}\\round_bed_1

does LogLevel.Debug show up for normal Smapi version or only in the dev version?

uncut viper
#

debug will show up

#

its Trace that gets hidden

next quarry
#

thank you!

dim yew
#

Would anyone happen to know what the frame # for the farmer’s left kissing sprite is? I kinda forgot where the farmer sprite sheet is

tender bloom
dim yew
#

Does 101 work for facing left in an event? I was under the impression that it didn’t

#

Which is why I was looking for a different one lol

#

but if it doesn’t it’s nbd I can just flip the characters around

tough crater
#

I think the code is able to flip it

next quarry
#

am I doing something wrong here?
I want the chat width to be smaller but it's not changing anything

Game1.chatBox.width = Game1.chatBox.width /2;

I can move the chatbox around if I change "Game1.chatBox.xPositionOnScreen" in the same function SDVthinking

gentle rose
#

what file are npc heart events in? I can never remember these things 😭

uncut viper
#

theyre just in the normal location files

next quarry
velvet narwhal
uncut viper
#

or well, it is, but probably uses chatBoxWidth instead

next quarry
#

oh

uncut viper
#

like, as a constant

#

stardew UI loves constants

#

where are you changing the Width?

next quarry
#

OnSaveLoaded

#

I also tried OnRenderingHud but I never used that before

uncut viper
#

hmm

#

well it does actually seem to use the Width parameter so it should be updating, and the constant is just used in updatePosition

#

but that should only happen after the game window is resized

#

are you changing the window size at all after the save is loaded?

#

like the overall stardew game window

next quarry
#

no I don't

#

should I?

uncut viper
#

oh that does actually fire in GameLocation.resetLocalState too

#

so its probably just being reset to 896 constantly

#

so doing it on save loaded alone is not enough

next quarry
#

so on tick?

uncut viper
#

thatd probably work but it'd probably be doing it a lot more often than is necessary

#

but its also not like its really much of an operation anyway

#

are you already using Harmony in your mod

#

(if you arent its not really worth it to start for this but you could alternatively just patch ChatBox.updatePosition)

next quarry
#

this might be silly but I don't know what you mean by Harmony SDVpuffershy
I just got back into modding C# and not just contentPatcher

uncut viper
#

Harmony is a library that lets mods run code (most commonly) before, after, or in the middle of vanilla game functions

#

i wouldnt worry about it until you need it though

next quarry
#

I see

#

also thank you!

tough crater
#

I know this is a silly question, but are we allowed to reuse vanilla textures in new tilesheets? Let's say I wanna use a tile of a book, but the pixels aren't aligned with how I want things to look. Would I be able to put it on a new tilesheet with the proper positioning?

uncut viper
#

you can but it wont be recolour compatible

tough crater
#

Alrighty 😎

#

... @uncut viper

Game1.chatBox.chatBox.Width = 700;

dim yew
#

Hi gang. For some reason my farmer is always facing right when I try to use showFrame 101 in one event, but in my other event using faceDirection farmer 3 and then using showFrame 101 causes them to kiss left. I have no idea why this is

#

I copy and pasted the commands and it still doesn’t work 🤣

velvet narwhal
#

farmer showFrame allows true for flip

dim yew
#

OMFG how did i forget that

velvet narwhal
#

showframe for an actual npc will not flip

dim yew
#

I’m losing my mind 💔

#

Thank you! Haha

velvet narwhal
#

is ok, i never had one

dim yew
#

So fair 🤣

uncut viper
#

showKissFrame will let you flip though for an NPC

shut edge
#

anyone know what determines if the F1 info can state what mod an item is from? I'm noticing some mods do it and some do not.

uncut viper
#

they need to follow the mod id convention

#

<ModId>_ItemName

shut edge
#

ah is that it, ok

uncut viper
#

if the mod unique ID prefix matches a loaded mod it shows the mod its from

shut edge
#

that makes sense

shut edge
#

ah damn, is there a smart way to delete animals that no longer exist from a barn that no longer exists?

uncut viper
#

can you elaborate

#

what is there to delete if they dont exist

shut edge
#

i'm workin on my mammoths and i renamed all the IDs to have ModID

#

so the ones i had previously are still "there" but point to nothing

uncut viper
#

hm

shut edge
#

can't delete the old barn cuz they're in it

uncut viper
#

does sleeping a day remove them?

tough crater
#

Oh, it's like how when I removed Fashion Sense and I couldn't remove the Hand Mirror, no matter how many times I tries to drop or sell or trash it

shut edge
#

sleeping seems to throw the game into a redline frenzy

#

dang

tough crater
#

The only way to "fix" what I experienced was to reinstall fashion sense, trash the mirror, then uninstall fashion sense again lol

shut edge
#

guess i can revert and delete but i run into this often lol

tough crater
shut edge
#

yea

uncut viper
#

maybe debug killall using the old animals internal name?

#

or

#

actually idk how that command works

#

double check it before running it willy nilly lol

shut edge
#

yeah i did smapi's help command and didn't see that in there so shrug

#

i'll just revert a sec

uncut viper
#

i might have it backwards and you can only put a name to not kill

shut edge
#

trying to get meat and extra animal config stuff to all do what i want

#

not going so hot! lol

uncut viper
#

debug fixanimals might also work

shut edge
#

i do think i tried that, dunno

#

maybe i'm missing a setting to enable more commands

uncut viper
#

debug removebuildings should also do it

#

do you not have console commands installed

shut edge
#

maybe i don't

#

i did just trim this modlist way down for testing

#

hi guys im kind of a noob to modding stardew valley and dont rly know where to start lol but what is the best program 2 use to make a new area to the game ?

#

without replacing anything i mean

uncut viper
ocean sailBOT
#

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

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

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

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

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

To use this command, type !mapmaking.
shut edge
#

tiled for maps

uncut viper
#

!startmodding

ocean sailBOT
#

Making mods can be broadly divided into two categories:

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

To use this command, type !startmodding.
uncut viper
#

Tiled + Content Patcher

sharp moon
#

okkk thanks

shut edge
#

turns out loading 37~ mods is faster than 300 wow mind blown

tough crater
#

The more I stare at C#, the more I slowly understand what's happening. It's harder reading this than when I was trying to figure out JSON lol

orchid patrol
#

I am back with my dinosaurs LMAO

I have everything core-wise how I'd like. But I'm curious if CP can retexture the ostrich incubator only when a dinosaur egg is in it? It's really just cosmetic but I'm curious

uncut viper
#

i mean that makes sense. C# is wildly different from json

gaunt orbit
#

Well, that makes sense. Json is just data storage, and you're limited to whatever the thing using it can do while c# is a full-fat programming language, so naturally it's much more complicated.

shut edge
#

am i blind here

#

this is now no longer working as an interior map after i changed to {{ModID}} s

drowsy pewter
gaunt orbit
uncut viper
shut edge
#

well

#

this is tellign me an error, so lol

#

that's prob it

gaunt orbit
#

You can should not use CustomLocations in 1.6

drowsy pewter
shut edge
#

you can't mod ID location names?

uncut viper
#

you cannot use tokens in customlocations

shut edge
#

oh did it change

uncut viper
#

it was always like that

#

you should not use CustomLocations

shut edge
#

alright, what's the modern methodology?

orchid patrol
tough crater
gaunt orbit
shut edge
#

ahh ok

#

thanks

uncut viper
#

for instanced buildings you dont usually need a location either

gaunt orbit
#

[[Modding:Location_data]]

empty radishBOT
uncut viper
#

just a Map

gaunt orbit
#

Yes, you only need to create a location if it's like the greenhouse, where there's only one interior

uncut viper
#

you only need a Location for a building if you want all buildings of that type to lead to the same place

#

like the same exact place

shut edge
#

is there another method for barns etc then?

#

somehow i am like 4 animal mods deep without learning any of this lol

uncut viper
#

just Load your map to Maps/{{ModId}}_DinoBarnInterior

shut edge
#

i'll give it a shot, thanks

uncut viper
#

CustomLocations has been deprecated since 1.6 came out

shut edge
#

can i just throw that in with the pngs or does it need another section ?

uncut viper
#

you can put your patches wherever you want

#

also after looking at it, i cant blame you for not realizing the tokens thing, really

#

the docs say CustomLocations cannot use tokens and then literally uses a token in the example below that

shut edge
#

tbh i don't even really understand what is and is not a token

uncut viper
#

{{This}} is a token

shut edge
#

i mostly just look at existing jsons and hammer things into place lol

uncut viper
#

things in double braces

shut edge
#

this look better?

uncut viper
#

looks right to me

shut edge
#

cool, i'll fire it up

uncut viper
#

theres an extra space at the front of the Target but that shouldnt matter thats more just a "is this gonna bother you" thing lol

shut edge
#

lol

#

well wtf

#

still doin this

#

oh

#

i think i did the map name wrong prob

#

it's just DinoBarnInterior.tmx yea

#

so i prob told it to load it with a token name that isnt' there?

uncut viper
#

a picture of an error that doesnt even show the most important part of the error is also not very good for future reference

shut edge
#

yeah sorry

#

[Content Patcher] Can't apply load "SNES Livestock Dinos > Load map" to Maps/cryomancer.livestockdinos_DinoBarnInterior: the FromFile file 'assets\cryomancer.livestockdinos_DinoBarnInterior.tmx' doesn't exist.

#

ok yes that is the problem

uncut viper
#

you can replace the TargetWithoutPath token if you wanna just write DinoBarnInterior if you want

#

or you can rename the file itself

gaunt orbit
#

Does InternalAssetKey work properly with maps? If so, that could be an easy option

shut edge
#

"Target": "Maps/{{ModId}}_DinoBarnInterior",
"FromFile": "assets/DinoBarnInterior.tmx"

#

this worked

uncut viper
#

it should, InternalAssetKey is just a shortcut for a SMAPI asset name

shut edge
#

am i doing this correctly now? lol

uncut viper
#

as far as i can tell yeah

finite sequoia
#

So I used to have this problem, then it stopped, and now I have it again; sometimes, the NPCs at festivals are using the wrong sprites and aren't facing the right direction until I talk to them: here, for example, Sonia is in mermaid form and facing forward until I talk to her, when she switches to her proper sprite and direction afterward

Is there a place I can get the construction building's (and upgrades including farm house upgrades) costs and materials given the name of the said construction request? For example, if I this hypothetical method the string "Shed", I would like some sort of object like this

cost: 15,000 (int)
wood: 300

The string "Big Shed" would return

cost: 20,000 (int)
wood: 550
stone: 300

If possible, I would also like this method to return the prereq building needed in order to build this building. For "Shed" this would be null, and for "Big Shed", it would be "Shed". I assume this would be in some sort of data object, but I'm unsure where this would be

uncut viper
#

i would double check you're editing the right folder then and not only working in a working folder or smth

#

or if you changed the uniqueid while the game was running, that aint gonna do anything

shut edge

will do

#

If you discover that someone has made or is making a mod with a similar concept to yours, don't stress! Our community promotes the idea of "two cakes", where two versions of the same idea can peacefully co-exist. Your mod will have your own unique stamp on it that makes it special.

To use this command, type !twocakes.

if i want to comment out an item i'm adding, do i have to // every line or can i do just the first part

every line

or you can use /* for multiline comments

so you'd have to put /* at the start and */ at the end of what you want to comment

that look right?

steam already called me out on the amount of times i was debugging, i don't need vs to tell me too

I was going to say "the syntax highlighting will tell you if it's right" but apparently it won't.

uncut viper
#

the wild wild west of nonstandard json, you're on your own without jsonc or json5 support

teal bridge

Isn't that a VSCode screenshot, hence JSONC?

velvet narwhal

that's n++

uncut viper
#

thats N++ but idk why VSCode would imply jsonc either?

shut edge
#

yea

#

i am a caveman rubbin sticks over here

gentle rose
#

but it does have jsonc (which even allows trailing commas with just a yellow squiggle instead of a red one)

teal bridge

#

i still use N++ for all my jsons and just use it stock

#

do as i say not as i do, though

velvet narwhal
#

the bright red comments are too hard on my eyes so i just always work in vs

teal bridge
#

So do I, but I know JSON syntax like the back of my hand and have never missed a brace.

uncut viper
#

or even individual colours

#

For those who have more difficulty and really need the help of the syntax highlighting, it's good to have the syntax highlighting be correct

How do I convert my data model into a JSON string? I can use this.Helper.Data.WriteJsonFile("data.json", model); to write it to a file, but I don't want to do that - I want the string that would go into the file.

I actually want to attach data to an item and figure attaching it to the item's modData field using something like the above is the way to do it, but if there's a better one I'd be happy to know.

Any Rider folks know how to make it shut up about this? I already have the C# syntax style set to use Keyword for all built-in types, but for some reason it still throws a fit over object specifically.

image.png
tawny ore
#

I have that suppressed, but I don't recall if it's my dotsettings, .editorconfig, or globalsuppressions doing the work

#

Maybe .editorconfig resharper_built_in_type_reference_style = use_keyword

#

I'm pretty sure that's the one that is accomplishing it for me

teal bridge
#

Well, this is Rider, not ReSharper, but yeah, those are the settings I have.

image.png
tawny ore
#

They reuse the same rules either way

teal bridge
#

It works for all the primitive types like int and even string, just not object.

tawny ore
#

Oh weird, I definitely don't see those squiggles, but I have a ton of rules through trial and error so it's hard to pinpoint the one

#

I dealt with that fairly recently, let me see if I can pinpoint the commit

teal bridge
#

Don't really want to have to do this per project, either, I'm figuring there must be some other setting I'm missing that's just inconveniently located.

How about resharper_use_symbol_alias = true or something to that effect? There should be something equivalent to that setting there.

Hi all, I'm slightly confused on how to make sure my mods works in multiplayer. Let's say I wanna apply a buff to everyone online at start of day. In the OnDayStart event, Should I do

foreach (Farmer farmer in Game1.getOnlineFarmers())
    farmer.applyBuff(...)

or just

Game1.player.applyBuff(...)

i.e. is the code is only executed on the host and synced to the client or do the client execute their own code?

also you can simplify your HasMod condition to just be "HasMod": "selph.ExtraAnimalConfig"

what are the sprite edits for objects and craftables doing?

patent lanceBOT
shut edge
#

well, getting there

#

still not right lol

gaunt orbit
shut edge
#

what would you suggest?

gaunt orbit
#

Texture is a game asset path, so you'd either want to swap that to an InternalAssetKey or make it something unique and create a Load patch to load in the item texture

uncut viper
#

if you mean the assets/livestockdinositems, thats what they are actually loaded to

#

at the very top

gaunt orbit
#

oh, that's... likely to break

uncut viper
#

it is still not recommended, to be clear

gaunt orbit
#

I would include your mod id somewhere in the name

shut edge
#

what do i need to change to accomplish that?

#

i do appreciate the best practices advice btw

gaunt orbit
shut edge
#

and that is presmably something i should always do?

gaunt orbit
#

yes

makes sense

that way if someone else makes a dino livestock mod they don't accidentally overwrite your stuff

i did it months ago with some hairs but can't remember what i did

shut edge
#

so all of these, yeah?

gentle rose
#

I think remove the "assets" (and also the slashes, conventionally) EDIT: ignore

#

so {{ModId}}_<...>

gaunt orbit
#

no, that part is okay

gentle rose
#

ah, my bad

gaunt orbit
#

it just has to be unique

#

the underscore convention is for ids/keys

shut edge
#

which is the point of the mod ID yeah?

gaunt orbit
#

exactly

gaunt orbit
shut edge
#

this is like making a virtual folder with the mod id as it's name essentially if i am understanding

gaunt orbit
#

yes

shut edge
#

seems correct i think

#

now how do i change the load...

tiny zealot
#

well, for an event i wanted to apply some temporary map edits with changeMapTile and GameLocation.ApplyMapOverride, so i thought i would use changeToTemporaryMap first to get a new copy that would be discarded afterward. that didn't seem to work and my edits remain after the event (boo). anyone know a good approach to take instead?

gaunt orbit
#

FromFile should be left as-is

shut edge
#

like every target file individually?

well that's unreadable but lol

#

ok cool

gaunt orbit
#

you could streamline it a little with dynamic tokens but I don't want to make it more complicated than it needs to be

shut edge
#

hopefully this is now like, sanity compliant

#

eac still not working quite right but progress anyway

gaunt orbit
#

looks good to me

shut edge
#

guess i'll wanna go update all my previous mods eventually

#

but that's a problem for another day

#

gotta futureproof all the other mods that wanna use the ID "Galavantin' Mushroom" etc

#

i suppose while i'm asking for advice, is my method for multi color animals the smart way to do it or not really?

gaunt orbit
#

I haven't really tinkered much with animal data, but I do know that it has a skin system you can use if you want purely cosmetic variants

shut edge
#

yeah that is a thing, isn't it

#

i should look into that

gaunt orbit
#

if you want them to have non-cosmetic variants (like brown and white chickens, which produce different types of eggs), use AlternatePurchaseTypes instead

shut edge
#

yeah that's what i've got now

#

but they're all doing the same items at least for now
