for one sinz.eventbyid * doesnt do anything for me

#

is there a way to skip an event?

#

if an event has an error it repeats it forever

calm nebula
#

Hmmm

#

Has that ever worked? I'm not sure I put in that

final arch
#

yes

calm nebula
final arch
#

I used it to test all RSV events with whatever mod ID rsv has and * after

#

so 9871*

calm nebula
#

Oh, that should still work

final arch
calm nebula
#

What did I do lol

final arch
#

confusing me

#

a lot :p

#

its fine, I was just wondering

calm nebula
#

I'll take a look but no promises for the next two weeks, flying out Tuesday

final arch
#

no stress!

#

have a nice flight SDVpufferheart

calm nebula
#

log say anything of interest?

final arch
#

nothing at all

#

just ignored my command

do you guys happen to know if there's an official list of the 1.6 devs somewhere? the Stardew Valley page on the wiki only lists this for some reason, which I know for a fact is missing people, which seems very odd

Screenshot_20250309_171727.jpg
lucid iron
#

yea its in unpacked contents

#

Strings/credits.json

gentle rose
#

I'm going to bet that this page is almost definitely protected though... 😭 could there be an official reason for only these four to be mentioned?

lucid iron
#

weird that only casey is not on there maybe it's what casey wanted?

gentle rose
#

is Casey definitely the only one missing?

lucid iron

"[3]Update 1.6:",
"Eric Barone",
"Jesse Plamondon-Willard \"Pathoschild\"",
"Devin Hedegaard",
"Arthur Lee",
"Jared Flores",
"Casey Warrington",
calm nebula
#

works fo rme, weird

gentle rose
#

interesting. Atra, do you happen to know?

lucid iron
#

theres code from other ppl previously ofc (like Tom Coxon who haunts me in my netcode dreams)

calm nebula
lucid iron
#

u can see the credits.json file yourself

gentle rose
#

ofc, but like out of the official devs SDVpufferthinkblob

rancid musk
lucid iron
#

iro dont u have the decompile repo

#

i only ever go there on 📱

gentle rose
#

does it have content files?

lucid iron
#

yea

gentle rose
#

I thought it only had the decompile pffft

#

whoops

lucid iron
#

decompile under Code

#

content in Content

#

pathos putting "Pathoschild" right in the credits is menancing

gentle rose
#

shh don't tell Khloe I didn't know this, she'll take away my repo access SBVPensiveButt (/lh ofc)

ivory plume
#

(No need to look at the unpacked files directly; that asset is shown in-game when you click the ? button on the title screen.)

calm nebula

#

I wonder how many people have viewed the credits page in-game, compared to how many have played.

calm nebula

(Skip one not in yet, I'll need to add that in)

gentle rose

#

would phone version have more ppl?

#

for porting help

rancid musk

I can check that asset.

There's a general section for ports:

#

here's a list of possible plants ima try to make if you guys can think of any flowers or other herbal teas let me know :0

rancid musk
#

I probably should finish unpacking content for the android version so I can update the android decomp repo... but on the other hand I really don't want to

lucid iron
#

aw yeah another cinnamon DokkanStare

#

if you are make mod like this i would

  1. check mods that may already have the same crops, and use the same context tag as them for compat
  2. consider using this to add support for toggling between item of same name from different mods https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/21361
brittle pasture
#

for 2 I think it's better for me to add compat on my end to the mega toggle content pack

#

(feel free to ping me when you released your mod!)

tidal stone
#

:0

lucid iron
#

also remember to add another olive oil and another butter

#

it's important

tidal stone
#

ill add herb butter and olive oil do you think that would be nice?

lucid iron
#

more seriously, people will expect to be able to do stuff with your crops Bolb

tidal stone
#

oh ye im gonna research how the teas are made and also include herb bred and cookies, and things like that

lucid iron
#

you can just have em become standard artisan goods, but it could be fun to make your own artisian goods

brittle pasture
#

(just in case, chu was joking about the prevalence of butter and olive oil in crops mods. but if you're scope creeping yourself to beyond teas that would be cool too)

lucid iron
#

this is another thing you should check context tags for, e.g. cornucopia has a herb_item to make dried herbs

#

so if all ur herbs are marked the same way they will work™️

final arch
#

another small suggestion: exclude the "subevents" from playing, because they often fail with "failed parsing camera values". (subevents are the ones ppl call with /switchevent and dont have preconditions

calm nebula
#

Ok!

#

done, uploading!

#

uhhhhhghhhgh is nexus slow for just me or everyone

tidal stone
calm nebula
lucid iron
tidal stone
#

oooh ok

lucid iron
tidal stone
#

ty ty

lucid iron
#

for mods, they can choose to add new tags

#

and if you want your mod to be automatically compatible with say cornucopia artisan machines

#

you would simply use the same tags

tidal stone
#

ooo dopealicious

lucid iron
#

theres no need to have real dependency ofc, the data is just unused if the player didnt have cornucopia artisan machines

tidal stone
lucid iron
#

in other cases you do want an optional dependency to ensure your mod loads later

#

i speak only of context tags case

tidal stone
#

Ooh i see several machines in cornucopa machines that i can use for my mod

#

ok machines imma add
tea oxidizer
(i wonder if i should make a teapot)

#

Oxidizwer might eb scratched actually

#

it would just be another step

hallow prism
#

i wonder if using the smoker can be an acceptable substitute

#

if you use a specific context tag i can see about adding it to the relevant plants i have

#

(like rosemary or mallow)

tidal stone
#

ooh
and maybe on the smoker, im still doing my research on the steps to making the tea and herbal remedies and such in want to add as recipes
I dont want to get too nitpicky with it but i wanna make sure i make it a little immersive

hallow prism
#

yeah finding the right balance is tricky

tidal stone
#

honbestly if the oxidization process sint used before soem of the recipes i have ideas for i might axe it because i dont want an unn ecessary finicky step

#

but ill see

hallow prism
#

yeah keep your options open and see what you have fun with

tidal stone
#

^-^

balmy venture
#

All I'm waiting for is an artisan machine to use my poisonous forages XD

tidal stone
#

ok so based on what im reading i think the oxidizer would ahve to be a new machine as it is the process of rolling or crushing the leaves and then leaving them to basically ferment i belive is what im reading here, unless cornucopia has a mortar and pestle or something similar ill probably make a stand where you use one uwu_nod

tidal stone
balmy venture
#

I dunno what type of machine, I think I gave someone else an idea at some point. It just bugs me we can't do anything with things like mistletoe and etc, the forages that are poison as well

ocean sailBOT
#

@balmy venture You leveled up to Cowpoke. You can now speak in our voice channels and share images in all channels!

balmy venture
#

I thought of maybe soaps? I keep trying to think what they could be turned into

#

maybe medicine components but I dunno how much sense that would make

#

or maybe just turn them into powders or other processed substance with the intention of selling as a supply for industries

tidal stone
#

oo

latent mauve
#

(it was basically just adding the inedible_mushroom context tag as a Required Input under the Dried Mushroom entry for that machine)

balmy venture
#

that is interesting, I could check a machine that maybe would make sense for powders for example

Evening. Is there a downside to using a lot of Dynamic Tokens?

lucid iron
#

like most tools it depends on what you do with it

hot gale
#

Anyone know if this works for merchant/shops?

#

Trying to get it to but doesnt seemto be

#

Wondering if its a limitation

lucid iron
#

need portraiture plus iirc

#

merchants are just 1 texture though, you could use spacecore hd texture instead if you want

hot gale
#

That would be cool, not needing an additional dependancy

tidal stone
#

!{{Modded:Crops}}

#

!Crops

hot gale
#

[[modded:crops]]

#

?

#

[[modding:crops]]

#

idk lol

tidal stone
#

XD

#

ill just go manually try finding it then lol

hot gale

A Vector2 size. If specified, the sprite size to use for frames in SourceTexture (normally the size is the same as the size in TargetRect). This allows you to fit a larger image in place of a smaller vanilla image. (For example, fitting a 256x256 portrait into the default 64x64 spaces.)

#

ctrl f for this part

brittle pasture
hot gale
#

ty ty

lucid iron
#

you would load the original first and then apply spacechase0.SpaceCore/TextureOverrides

marble verge
lucid iron
#

yea that is partly what they are for

#

although, i believe you can separate the dynamic tokens now

brave bay
#

I'm getting this error when trying to make a Content Patcher mod, what does it mean? I followed the manifest.json and content.json guides but I can't find how to fix this

image.png

ocean sailBOT
#

JSON is a standard format for machine-readable text files that's used by Stardew Valley mods.

If you need help with a JSON file, you can upload it to smapi.io/json to see automatic validation and share the link here.

When making mods, it's recommended to edit your files in a text editor with JSON support, such as VS Code, Notepad++, or Sublime Text. These programs will check for syntax errors.

To use this command, type !json.
lucid iron
brave bay
marble verge
#

I did read about Local Tokens, but I'm not sure if that's what you're talking about.

lucid iron
#

no iirc there was thing to just, let you put dynamic tokens in a separate .json

rigid musk
lucid iron
#

i cant find it in the release notes though sleep

#

so just disregard

marble verge
#

Okay.

lucid iron
#

LocalTokens is something else, but it can be helpful too

marble verge
#

The Local Tokens thing looks like you can turn includes into functions.

lucid iron
#

templates yes

brave bay
lucid iron
#

not quite functions

brave bay
#

Line 9

marble verge
#

Missing a comma

brave bay
#

wher

lucid iron
#

but yea i think the issue around dynamic tokens is like

#

it may be not ready at some places

marble verge
brave bay
#

oh

lucid iron
#

and there is issue with using dynamic token as a dictionary key

#

this seem to cause tokens in the value to not parse

brave bay
#

new error

marble verge
hot gale
#

The wiki doesnt explain what format Im supposed to enter in SourceSizeOverride do I do an array? is it a string? do I name the texture, and not the resolution?

lucid iron
uncut viper
#

(the issue is when you have a dynamic OR a config token as the key and also use a dynamic OR config token in the value)

hot gale
#

An example in this wiki would be swell lol

marble verge
lucid iron
#

i dont think there is performance problems with dynamic token by itself

#

but you do have to re-eval them on change

#

or rather content patcher does

uncut viper
#

the issue chu linked is surprisingly niche and rarely comes up it seems since I've only ever seen blueberry talk about it so don't worry about it

lucid iron
#

personally i wouldn't use dt just to store a constant

#

bc i can just mass replace in the future if i feel like it

marble verge
uncut viper
#

many people do for e.g. npc names

lucid iron
#

but i dont make packs that get super beeg

#

so if u r at scale where u want it then just use it

#

it is made for ppl to use

marble verge
#

The reason I like using DTs is so that I can basically forget what I used where in which include file. Update content.json and everything propagates.

lucid iron
#

when possible i'd prob choose to use LocalizedText for things like npc name

#

the when possible has many asterisks behind it ofc Dokkan

marble verge
#

I've never dealt with NPCs before, and I don't think it's likely to happen in the future

uncut viper
#

you can't use localized text everywhere

marble verge
#

I'm mostly working on compatibility patches to fix little (and big) issues I run into as I play

uncut viper
#

i think the NPC guide uses a dynamic token constant doesn't it

brave bay
#

Anybody here knows why when I replace the file "hairstyles" only half of them get modified? Half of it gets replaced and half of it doesn't. This problem started happening to me since the last update the game received, which I'm pretty sure reworked a few hairs.

#

Is there a "use new hairs" button that I'm missing or what

uncut viper
#

i don't believe anything changed with hair in the last update? that was a couple months ago

lucid iron
#

it looks like you have hairstyle and hairstyle2 both loading to 1 target

#

surprsied that content patcher didnt tell you no exclusive

tidal stone
#

if i want to make a machine and crops would it bepossible to dot hat within one mod or would they need to be seperate 🤔

lucid iron
#

yep

brave bay
tidal stone
#

ig it could be packaged actually

brave bay
#

And I don't have a clue as to why

lucid iron
#

no they can be part of 1 cp mod

tidal stone
#

thank you chu

brave bay
#

Look, this is the file I'm currently loading

#

Half, to bottom, all of them appear in the selection menu and replace the vanilla hairs

#

Half to top just doesn't

ornate trellis

hm, I think I need help with trying to spawn nodes via spacecore

its okay you dont have to apologize :3

it just makes it easier to read on the website

Characters/Farmer is incorrect, you need to load to Characters/Farmer/hairstyles and Characters/Farmer/hairstyles2

#

as for why you saw half the hairs change i dunno

brave bay

like this?

#

no ".xnb" in the end?

lucid iron
#

nop

#

brave bay

how did it got deleted?

                }
            }
        }

What exactly do I put in "SourceSizeOverride":

rigid musk
hot gale
#

if I want a portrait larger than 64x64

brave bay
#

i fixed it

#

ill try again

#

YESSS

#

now it works

#

thank you @rigid musk

lucid iron
#

portraits are 64x64

rigid musk
brave bay
#

Tho I'm still here drooling like a fool, why and how did half of the hairs worked and half of them didn't if they were in the same file?

lucid iron
#

for this though u need to have TargetRect as well

brave bay
#

I just won't question it I guess lol

#

It works now

rigid musk
#

honestly I put stuff like that to some cursed code magic

#

(<- doesn't understand how code works)

lucid iron
#

TargetRect would be { "X": 0, "Y": 0, "Width": 64, "Height": 64}
SourceSizeOverride would be { "X": 0, "Y": 0, "Width": 256, "Height": 256 }

#

assuming you want a 4x sized portrait

ornate trellis

I was wondering, I'm looking into MEEP and here it says you gotta patch the map with this code, but can't you in theory also add these fields as properties directly into tiled and do it from there? That seems a bit easier to do

image.png
brittle pasture
#

it's easier if you're making your own map yeah
the example is to edit an existing map without having to fire up tiled

ornate trellis

                    "TargetTexture": "Portraits/Natalie",
                    "TargetRect": {
                        "X": 0,

                }
            }
        }
#

Would this be right then

lucid iron
#

No i had typo the field is called SourceSizeOverride

#

Still need TargetTexture

hot gale
#

I have a TargetTexture where I'm targeting the character portrait, and SourceSizeOverride looks accurate to me?

lucid iron
#

I was also wrong about it being a Rectangle

#

Looks like it's a Vector2

#

So you can do "128,128"

uhhh...improvement? huh, thats not where I want it to spawn tho

Alright, I do need more help.

even the item sropped is an error item

#

the log isnt giving errors anymore so theres that. I don't know if I am now having the spawn part right(except the area) and its giving me errors because its not able to pull my nodes? I am adding the nodes via IE idk if it needs some sort of extra step or something for spacecore to be like yo this gonna be it or if I did it completely wrong(the IE nodes and minerals I made I can properly spawn in via CJB afterall)

Question about CP priority:

If two mods load dialogue changes, but their entries are different, what happens?

Patch 1: priority high
"Sat"
"Fri"
"Sun"

Patch 2: priority med
"Sat"
"Mon"
"Tue"

Will we see Sat from patch 1, and the rest of the entries all showing up? Or will we only see the entries from patch 1 and none from patch 2?

lucid iron
#

it is like sandwich

#

although, are you sure its a Load

#

rather than EditData (Early Default Late)

tribal ore
#

I'm not actually running into this problem right now, just considering which priorities to put on some dialogue changes for mod compat

lucid iron
#

well dont

#

:)

tribal ore
#

No priorities? Just let it default to exclusive?

lucid iron
#

EditData doesn't use exclusive

#

usually mod compat is achieved by having one mod dependent on another

#

this is less confusing than setting individual edit priorities

tribal ore
#

Alright, then I will ignore it 🙂

#

Thanks, @lucid iron

lucid iron
#

to answer your actual question the priorities you can use on edit data are Early Default Late
for all patches targeting Characters/Dialogue/Sebastian you have this deal (using only the keys you mentioned)

Base
- Mon: stuff
- Tue: stuff
- Fri: stuff
- Sat: stuff
- Sun: stuff
Patch 2 (Default)
- Mon: changed to 2
- Tue: changed to 2
- Fri: stuff
- Sat: changed to 2
- Sun: stuff
Patch 1 (Late)
- Mon: changed to 2
- Tue: changed to 2
- Fri: changed to 1
- Sat: changed to 1
- Sun: changed to 1
ornate trellis

huh

#

I might need to take a break because I am too lost in getting my nodes to spawn

#

hm, i mightve found my issue

tribal ore
ornate trellis
#

unless i am interpreting this wrong

lucid iron
#

Late is the most important priority

tribal ore
#

Oh. Other way around!!!

lucid iron
#

its the last bread on ur sandwich

ornate trellis
#

because IE does state

You can spawn either from vanilla Location Data, or via FTM (only accepts 1x1 resources).

lucid iron
#

if you don't care just leave at Default

ornate trellis
#

so i probs c ant spawn em via spacecore..

lucid iron
#

you can think about compat with CFDE and such later

calm nebula
#

I suspect you can spawn from spacecore tbh

tribal ore
lucid iron
#

yesnt (it depends on the file system)

ornate trellis
tribal ore
lucid iron
#

when u are deal with compat u would be going in and adding false dependencies

#

to make your mod load later

ornate trellis
#

so now i am checking IEs docs to see if there was a limit on that side but idk

uncut viper
lucid iron

could perhaps try (O)

ornate trellis
uncut viper
#

thats not how spacecores spawning works, it needs an object to get the texture from

ornate trellis
#

the gem is in objects tho and is also an error item when i break the error node

lucid iron
#

can you do patch export Data/Objects then

#

maybe IE added things to that on your behalf

whats a good event listener for hearing when a bomb gets used?

ornate trellis

hm

#

the nodes there yeah

lucid iron
#

yea i dunno, i guess i would try qualified item id

latent mauve
#

I would try the ID associated with it in your Data/Objects export

ornate trellis
#

I am wondering if maybe spacecore is using the wrong modid for my {{ModID}}

uncut viper
#

spacecore doesnt know you're using a token

#

tokens never leave a content patcher .json file. all spacecore sees is your mod ID typed out. it cant use the wrong one

ornate trellis
#

well

#

i might be dumb but I replced {{ModID}} with the one my node has in the object json

#

and its there now

haughty charm
#

You're not dumb...I would have done the same thing, Void

ornate trellis
#

so it did use the wrong ModID

uncut viper
#

they are two different mods?

ornate trellis
#

or its a coincidence? idk anymore

uncut viper
#

{{ModId}} is always the same across an entire single CP mod

ornate trellis
#

yeah I said earlier I added my nodes via IE

uncut viper
#

i mean, you can do that in the same mod, so...

ornate trellis

which meant i needed to make a IE folder

JSON is a standard format for machine-readable text files that's used by Stardew Valley mods.

If you need help with a JSON file, you can upload it to smapi.io/json to see automatic validation and share the link here.

When making mods, it's recommended to edit your files in a text editor with JSON support, such as VS Code, Notepad++, or Sublime Text. These programs will check for syntax errors.

To use this command, type !json.

Random would probably be the easiest, dynamic tokens would be worse

And people tend to be very creative with all the tokens SDVpufferthinkblob

you have to port the whole cp tokens system to js monS

i think for a first draft, maybe just treat any token in a i18n key as wildcard

show ppl whats known to exist at least

I probably would just make it into a standalone python script, not part of the i18nifier

i think there is one tho, mod that helps with i18n

you need to have all her frames in a tilesheet, and use tiled to animate them

You can download the mod and then patch export

That's the easiest way imo

but to know for sure from a modders perspective (ie item ids) recommend download

hallow prism

(i do appreciate wiki/mod page to get an idea of what i want to look into, but then downloading the mod and looking at the file is 100% the best solution for detailled stuff)

Reason for patch export is just so you get all the tokens resolved

Hi! I'm trying to make a custom event, and it works, loads into the game and triggers correctly. However, once I include a Relationship trigger to the event (the "When": { "Relationship:[name]": "Engaged" } code), no matter where it goes in relation to the event's raw code, it will not load into the game. I have tried checking for it to be "loaded" once I propose, but no dice.

I have made another event and many dialogue edits in this same json and it's worked fine, but this one event isn't loading.

lucid iron
#

Instead of {{ModId}}

hallow prism
#

good point, i don't think cornucopia use this for the item id however

hot gale
#

Looks like they dont have any tokens

lucid iron
#

Other reason is so u get whole data asset

hallow prism
hot gale
#

but sage advice nonetheless

lucid iron
#

Rather than edits in various includes

hot gale
#

aye

tropic remnant
hallow prism
#

when you aren't engaged the event doesn't exist

#

if it doesn't trigger even when engaged and having slept, then you have a problem in your when format

tropic remnant
#

ah perhaps I need to sleep and try the next day

hallow prism
#

however

#

i suggest trying to switch to game state query check instead

#

PLAYER_NPC_RELATIONSHIP <player> <npc> <type>+

#

because :

#
  • it will be easier to test the event (it will always exists)
#
  • it may refresh faster than sleeping
#

game state query can be used directly in the event condition

tropic remnant
#

Ooh, I didn't know that was an option! Thanks for the advice, I'll try this out. SDVpufferthumbsup

hallow prism
#

(format being G THEGAMESTATEQUERY)

#

it is relatively new

#

"Lumisteria.MtVapius_Lake_MariamPatrol/f MariamFortinVMV 750/t 2100 2530/G PLAYER_VISITED_LOCATION Current Lumisteria.MtVapius_ForestCaveLong/c 1":

one example here

#

if you still encounter issue with when stuff in future stuff however check here so you can see if it's a format error

#

but usually for events i strongly prefer them existing all the time rather than having a when on them

tropic remnant
#

That worked perfectly! Thanks so much, it triggers correctly.

#

I'll be sure to keep the game state checks in mind.

Ctrl+F Tile animation

hallow prism
brave fable
#

tile animations are incredibly simple, you just open the tile animation editor tool, pick your frames, and then give them all the same per-frame milliseconds duration of your choice. the first tile will then be marked with a 🎞️ tag in the tileset viewer to show it's animated, and it'll animate wherever it's used ingame (and in tiled if you have animations enabled)

tribal ore
#

Like Lumina said, though, you should post the whole edit so we can help you debug. Otherwise, we're just guessing

lucid iron
#

Then you have the button blueberry mentioned and go forward from there

shadow osprey

I've commented out all other code except this:
{
"LogName": "Update & disposition & spawn location when dateable",
"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Data/Characters",
"Entries": {
"Robin": {

brittle pasture
hot gale
#

Alrighty, thanks!

brave fable
#

When should only be used if there's no Condition field or equivalents in the data model you're editing, since it's essentially hiding data from the game rather than conditionally using that data

#

you'll likely still get plenty of use from it depending on your mod, but ingame methods are always preferable

#

it's also very helpful for compatibility patches between mods, of course

rancid musk
# rancid musk This... will probably be useful.

Decided to change this. Now, it's an API for other mods to add items if they want. GMCM example here: cs var BetterGameMenu = this.Helper.ModRegistry.GetApi<IBetterGameMenuApi>("leclair.bettergamemenu"); BetterGameMenu?.OnTabContextMenu(evt => { if (evt.Tab == nameof(BetterGameMenuTabs.Options)) evt.Entries.Add(evt.CreateEntry(I18n.Button_ModOptions(), () => this.OpenListMenuNew(), null)); });

feels like there should be some indicator that you can even do that, bc i also thought it was a normal click thing bc there was nothing to indicate a context menu as far as i could tell

Is there a mail key that can be used to send mail to a player not on a specific day, but when they first load the mod on a save?

#

<season>_<day of month>_<year> This, but when the mod is first "activated"

tiny zealot
#

i don't think there's a key, but you should be able to use an unconditional trigger action

sour sleet
#

Where does that fit in to the Mail Data edit?

tiny zealot
#

say you have a Data/mail edit that adds e.g.
"{{ModId}}_FirstLoadMail": "letter contents here"

#

then you also add a trigger action that runs on day start and sends that mail ({{ModId}}_FirstLoadMail) to the mailbox

#

with no conditions, the trigger action will always run the first day that the mod is installed, and it won't run again because trigger actions only run once by default

sour sleet
#

That makes sense, thanks SDVpufferthumbsup Should I use the AddMail trigger action?

tiny zealot
brittle pasture
#

to improve compatibility with other mods

#

since if for example one mod adds a mail for "Fall_6_1" then no other mods can add mails for "Fall_6_1"

sour sleet
#

I'm going to use Trigger Actions for this mod - what do you mean by your first sentence?

#

Ohh I get it

reef kiln

#

Yes you can do date based trigger actions

#

and you can add as many as you want

#

date based mails named after that format is not recommended because you can only ever add one

Ok, so the mail isn't being sent to the player. Does this look alright? ```{
"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Data/TriggerActions",
"Entries": {
"{{ModId}}_FirstLoadMail": {
"Id": "{{ModId}}_FirstLoadMail",
"Trigger": "DayStarted",
"Actions": [
"AddMail Current {{ModId}}_FirstLoadMail"
]
}
}

Hey y'all! Fun question for ya: my UI for Fishing will have small icons next to fish that you currently can't catch. All of the icons are pulled from Cursors. If it's not the right time, a clock. If it's not the right weather, an umbrella. What symbol should I use to indicate it's out of season? (For context, location isn't needed since the HUD will ONLY show fishes catchable in the area)

#

Obvs this is extremely subjective, I'm just curious if smth would immediately spring out to y'all as a player for "Oh it's definitely the season"

#

Heh, "spring" out

lavish briar
#

I say a leaf, since a lot of people associate seasons with their color

#

it's also easy to read the shape and draw

undone hawk
#

Ohhh!

sour sleet
#

A tree

undone hawk
#

Tree is also good

#

I'd also just use these four default images for each season, but a buncha fish have multiple seasons they can be caught in

Hmmm I have both leaves AND trees

It can't be a specific season since some fish have multiple

If I just wanted to use seasonal indicators I'd use these:

I was gonna go with the cross over the leaf, since it also has to have an element for time and weather as well (a clock and umbrella respectively)

...Halibut can't be caught mid day, but morning and night.. how do you plan to indicate that with a single icon for time?

It's relative. If it currently can't be caught due to time, clock. Otherwise the icon doesn't show

..so you're just indicating whether it CAN'T be caught at the currently checked time?

How to make VSCode not scream at json comments

In Visual Studio Code, go to File -> Preferences -> Settings, then search for "associations", and in the "Associations" setting, click the Add Item button to add an item with key *.json and value jsonc (see image).
If you are making a content pack for Content Patcher, you should consider using its json schema so that VSCode can tell you if your patches are valid, you simply have to add

"$schema": "https://smapi.io/schemas/content-patcher.json"

at the start of your content.json file.

To use this command, type !vscjsonc.

Thanks, it was more that I was trying to replicate the movie theater experience in a special event, now that I realize I was wrong about the sound playing in the theater I will probably just avoid it. Interesting that it uses the "doorClose" sound though which seems to be represent the cap popping off the projector.

#

but I learned two new commands today for working with sound so that is a great help : )

vernal crest
sour sleet
#

Lol same. Didn’t know you could just play the sounds whenever SDVpufferwow

faint ingot
# lucid iron maybe it is part of the ambience then?

After some more testing actually I think you're totally right. The ambience has like cocktail party background chatter and then the film reel sound plays over and over again which I thought was something else. So I guess I just need to use stopMusic at the right time? I'm not sure why it didn't play though when I tested watching movies maybe it does only play sometimes.

#

OK now it all makes sense. I did have that playSound fastReel in there still which is why it sounded like the film reel sound never ended. if I just use the ambience the reel sound fades out on its own

Hi there, I'm a beginner in making mods and I'm studying this decompiled NonDestructiveNPCs mod. Is ModEntry.cs the only functional file in this whole decompiled folder? The other files only look like some notes, and this ModEntry.cs seems to be the only one that interacts with the game itself

ivory plume
#

Non-Destructive NPCs has public source code, which will be a bit easier to read since it won't have the decompiler stuff. (You can find source code by going to smapi.io/mods, clicking "show advanced info", and looking in the "code" column.)

ModEntry.cs is just a conventional filename, but SMAPI will look for a subclass of Mod to load the mod. Any other code is ignored by SMAPI, so only what's called from that Mod implementation matters.

regal knot
ivory plume
#

Yep, that seems to be the whole mod code in this case.

Harmony is a third-party library that's bundled with SMAPI which lets you patch other code (i.e. run your own code before, after, within, or instead of an existing method). In this case it replaces that game method with its own implementation (by prefixing the method and then returning false, which means not to run the original method).

regal knot
#

Thank you : ) Do you know if there is a documentation for Stardew Valley modding? Like, a complete list for usable functions to interact with the original game? I found some in the wiki page, but I guess it's only partial

#

Or do people just read the decompiled stardewvalley.ddl

ivory plume
#

We have some docs at Modding:Index#Creating mods (note the 'specific topics' subsection), but mostly you need to look at the decompiled code to see what it's doing. The game doesn't really have an API, you can interact with the entire game code.

If you just need to get into the tower, warp straight in with debug warp wizardhouse. If you actually need it unlocked, you could try giving yourself the mail with debug action addmail current wizardJunimoNote now.

If that doesn't work, change the date to spring 4, sleep, head to town to get the CC event, read the scroll, then sleep. That should give you the letter.

As far as functionality is concerned, does it matter if I assign a Big Craftable a different category? Category -9 does not display a category name in the tooltip, and I'd like for my Big Craftables to have that - but I don't want to break them.

blissful panther
# marble verge As far as functionality is concerned, does it matter if I assign a Big Craftable...

I suspect the game will just override that even if you tried, given this in the Object constructor:

if (Game1.bigCraftableData.TryGetValue(itemId, out var data))
{
    this.name = data.Name ?? ItemRegistry.GetDataOrErrorItem(base.QualifiedItemId).InternalName;
    this.price.Value = data.Price;
    this.type.Value = "Crafting";
    base.Category = -9;
    this.setOutdoors.Value = data.CanBePlacedOutdoors;
    this.setIndoors.Value = data.CanBePlacedIndoors;
    this.fragility.Value = data.Fragility;
    this.isLamp.Value = data.IsLamp;
}
