Ideally I would be able to use a sync operation and it would load from the custom save location on android and I would be able to sync those files between windows and android automatically.

Yes sorry

Just in case you're wondering, we've got until 31 March at 00:00 GMT to fix this. As long as it's opted in during that moment, all interactions for the entirity of March will be counted regardless of when you opted it in.
It is quite weird, the Opt In page can be up to 15 mins behind the main site sometimes.

It's all good. I don't think that's well explained anywhere (and it's a bit of a weird concept)
fathom hound
So it’s every end of the month at 00:00 GMT?
And all DP for the month will be retroactively applied?
twin mantle
Yeah so at 00:00 GMT every month we take a snapshot of all mods which are public, visible and opted in. Then it counts up the interactions for the entirity of the previous month
fathom hound
That’s actually really good to know thank you so much
twin mantle
So you could publish your mod on March 1 and forget to opt it in until March 30 without missing out

Gotcha understood what you meant

Obviously we need to figure out what's happening for your mod though

are you making a mod using it or are you having issues using it as a player?

tribal ore
Is there a way to get CP to apply a set of patches -- one for each value in a list? I see the existence of valueAt can get me a specific item in the list, but there doesn't seem to be any way to iterate
So there must be something I don't quite understand
I want to apply an edit to Characters/Dialogue/<name> for each <name> in a token
Clarification: I don't know the length or content of the list beforehand
Just whether there are values in it or not
vernal crest
In other words, I don't think so.
Iteration is forbidden to the Content Patcher people.
tribal ore
Alright. If that is the true nature of the beast, then I will have to go with plan B -- defining a dynamic token based on date, and hoping that I don't need to edit two different NPCs on the same day
sigh
vernal crest
The good news is that if it is possible, I've just made it more likely that someone else will tell you that by giving them something to contradict 
tribal ore
Fingers crossed! xD
gentle rose
iteration of this kind is indeed forbidden afaik
but you may be able to do some magic using TargetFile

Would it be possible to make a mod API that allows you to disable an enable mods per save
Also would It be possible to make an API that would make a world type thing so we can have entirely new worlds per save (it would be set types similar to the farm types but for the whole layout). It would also be selected in a menu the same as farm type select in a box next to farm type
gentle rose
Would it be possible to make a mod API that allows you to disable an enable mods...
a) I don't think you're using the term API correctly
b) what do you mean new worlds? like not in pelican town?
quaint idol
I'm not
Like just a new layout
Like how there is new farm layouts a new world layout would be cool
gentle rose
of the entire town?
gentle rose
the reason not many people do those is that it would break like half the game
blissful panther
The second would definitely be possible, but a lot of work, yeah.
quaint idol
Ok
gentle rose
and would immediately be incompatible with most modded NPCs etc
blissful panther
The first one... that would need SMAPI to completely change when it loads the mods, or require a restart when you load into a save at minimum. So also a lot of work, but technically possible. 
quaint idol
and would immediately be incompatible with most modded NPCs etc
I understand that but I feel like it would lay down a framework for bigger mode
blissful panther
Yeah, total conversion mods are great! I don't think there's been a single one for Stardew.
gentle rose
stardew just isn't built to accommodate those so it is a considerable undertaking for relatively little payoff (if you're just rearranging the map)
blissful panther
The second one could be done by purely (well, mostly) content mod people for sure, though. Just need someone with the ability, time, and willpower to undertake a potentially huge task!
drowsy pewter
for disabling and enabling mods per save, i suspect this is a solution to a problem thats already solved by mod groups
patent atlas
I understand that but I feel like it would lay down a framework for bigger mode
99% of events and schedules and whatever else in stardew valley work by manually defining coordinates; if you change the map around, you also need to change every single defined coordinate for every npc or interaction or whatever
gentle rose
(the first one could theoretically be achieved by modding stardrop rather than smapi or the game and using skip intro, to make a mod group for each save behind the scenes, fake the save selection menu, then use skip intro to load you directly into the correct save that you chose)
patent atlas
so for a new world you either need to actually update every single npc in-game, then modded npcs would need to make different versions of their npcs for your map
Or you rewrite stardew from the ground up to make npcs interaction targets be picked dynamically somehow
and at that point just go make a game
gentle rose
or do an equally difficult middle version where you dynamically update schedules to change old coordinates to new ones, which will be extremely fragile
patent atlas
the only "dynamic" targets in schedules are just hardcoded with extra steps lol
i think its like
going home?
patent atlas
or do an equally difficult middle version where you dynamically update schedules...
i can't see it done without manuially mapping old-map-xy to new-map-xy which sounds like 🫠
gentle rose
(the first one could theoretically be achieved by modding _stardrop_ rather than...
(I guess technically instead of faking the menu you could load the game and then on save load grab the name/ID of the save, crash the game, and start a new instance with the correct mods loaded that uses skip intro to load you into the correct save)

You could do this and someone will still ask if it's compatible with (insert expansion)

theoretically, is there a way to create an NPC-shaped object if i don’t want to go through the trouble of fleshing out an entire character? i’m imagining a shopkeeper who never moves but could perhaps say a few lines of randomized dialogue when you click on them, and who would count as the owner of a shop
i’m not opposed to making them a full NPC but if i can save time then hell yeah
gentle rose
I mean, can't you just make an NPC with minimal information? or alternatively just bake them into the map and make the dialogue a map action or something 
urban patrol
baking them into the map is one way i was thinking of doing it, yeah! i wasn’t sure if i would be able to have them run a shop though 🤔 and yeah i could make the whole NPC profile for them but wanted to save time if possible
lucid iron
Many shop keepers are just map tiles
If you just want portrait then that's all you need
odd ginkgo
yes on the map you can just use Action OpenShop for that building tile
urban patrol
awesome, i’ll try that! does anyone have examples off the top of their head of map tile shopkeepers i could look at for an example
oh okay cool!
odd ginkgo
one sec I'll screenshot my flamingo shopkeep, he's just a map tile
okay and then you can see here that the action opens up Flamingo_Shop, which is the shop I've defined in the json
and then here is how I formatted the opening to the shop:
{
"LogName": "Load Shop Portraits",
"Action": "Load",
"Target": "Portraits/Flamingo_Shop",
"FromFile": "assets/Flamingo_Vanilla.png"
},

odd ginkgo
hope it helps!
oh, and make sure Name says "AnyorNone", if you put an actual name there the game will look for the NPC with that name, which you don't have
that was my problem for a minute when the portrait wasn't displaying

how to start making mods for SV?

I might recommend trying to make your own mini machine mod first, so you get an understanding of how to format things in 1.6, with the latest coding
or downloading a different custom machine mod and then looking under the hood to see how they did it

i downloaded a machine mod from nexus and im comparing it to this one
im seeing some discrepancies and some "line variations"

the machine mod you are trying to update uses PFM and JA, the latter being deprecated

hmmm so I tried setting a spacecore-spawned monster's 'resilience' to 999 and it still seemed to take normal damage. If possible I'd like any hit to do 0-1 damage (but still knock the monster back)
I can set the HP super high but that alone doesn't make it obvious the monster isn't intended to be killed
lucid iron
Does 99999 make a difference
faint ingot
also can monsters and foreagables spawned with spaceCore be despawned with it? I see spacechase0.SpaceCore_ClearSetPiecesFromSpawnable but I don't think that's for the same thing
faint ingot
Does 99999 make a difference
I'll give it a try...
faint ingot
it doesn't appear that they do
there must be something I'm missing though because like if I spawn 3 mushrooms at the start of day at a certain location, there will be 12 mushrooms after 4 days. I could do it conditional on visiting the location but it would still spawn more if I didn't pick those up
lucid iron
That is strange hm

tough crater
I took a vacation from my stardew modding and figured out how to get the custom tokens to work (it was much easier than I made it out to be).
I'm now wondering if there's a way for me to drop the ModId part of the token calls (using {{sixthirtyam}} instead of {{L0veRaven.CoreDLL/sixthirtyam}}) like how Content Patcher uses {{season}} instead of writing out {{PathosChild.ContentPatcher/season}}
old edge
Ooh ok good idea
uncut viper
i mean you can make a dynamic token whose value is your custom token with a shorter name, but you cannot make the custom token itself not have your mod ID. that is by design
old edge
I will make the screen shake by using viewport commands
tough crater
i mean you can make a dynamic token whose value is your custom token with a shor...
And here I thought I made a shortcut of sorts to make writing times in the game more efficient 😭
So how does Content Patcher get away with it for their own tokens?
uncut viper
it'd be an awful design to allow removing the mod id
old edge
Then I need a good sound effect for something ghoulish in a sea cavern locale
uncut viper
... Content patcher is the mod? It can do what it wants
custom tokens are registered with content patcher and then can be used with ANY content patcher mod that adds yours as a dependency
lucid iron
CP is doing this to namespace everyone else's tokens
uncut viper
What if I also added a token called "sixthirtyam"?
I don't think a token is shorter than writing 630 anyway
tough crater
What if I also added a token called "sixthirtyam"?
I figured adding custom tokens would follow the same logic of dynamic tokens where the custom tokens would only apply within the mod itself (aka my own core mod)
lucid iron
Anyways you could do away with tokens if you just did the data edit yourself, depending on the use case
uncut viper
your core mod is not a content patcher mod, so the premise doesn't make sense
tough crater
I don't think a token is shorter than writing 630 anyway
It's easier when it comes to the PM time conversions because I, an American, suck at 24 hour clocks
iron ridge
If its am you don't need to change anything anyway
uncut viper
a content patcher mod cannot register a custom token in the first place
a non-CP dll mod can
tough crater
If its am you don't need to change anything anyway
I wanted to convert all the time options to follow the same method for it to be "cohesive" if that makes sense
tough crater
your core mod is not a content patcher mod, so the premise doesn't make sense
I guess I didn't really understand how Content Patcher works or something 😅
uncut viper
from content patchers perspective, the c# mod you are registering from is completely unaffiliated and largely irrelevant outside of your use of its API. it does not manage it and does not do anything for it (again, exception API use)
you likely would not even use a custom registered token inside your own c# mod
from smapi's perspective, your core mod and your content pack for content patcher are also two completely separate mods, one just has a dependency on the other (presumably)
tough crater
So it's pointless for me to try to make a "shortcut" token of sorts?
Or I'd have to make a content patcher mod of my own in order to make my own tokens work the way I'd like it to?
uncut viper
that's subjective and up to you. If that's all your core mod is doing, I'd call it not worth it
I'm confused what you're doing. Why would you want a content patcher mod of your own? You don't need tokens in C# and if you're using content patcher then you still CAN make your custom tokens, they just need the modid
If it helps you remember the 24 hour conversion, it can still be useful
Just not shorter to write
tough crater
Hm
uncut viper
But, you can also do that anyway with dynamic tokens, so maybe not
tough crater
lucid iron
I think it would literally be faster to toss these in a i18n file
tough crater
I don't want this stuff clogging up my content.json
uncut viper
If it's only for yourself to use and you weren't making tokens for other people to use, dynamic tokens are better
I18n would also work though still not shorter to write
tough crater
It's about saving space highkey
lucid iron
Then you can {{i18n:sixthirtyam}} and do one sed at the end to replace all
uncut viper
Space is meaningless when you can make more
There is otherwise zero way to remove the modid from the custom token
lucid iron
And remove the times.json from ur i18n so u don't ship it and confuse translators

@ivory plume Hey there, couple questions. First, do you have any ETA for the next update to Lookup Anything releasing? I was hoping to have that update out before I release Better Game Menu, since it's a pretty popular mod. On the same note, do you know when you might take a look at the pull request for BGM support I made to NPC Map Locations, since you maintain that mod? Just wondering what your schedule looks like.
tough crater
I'm planning on making multiple NPCs, so having them reference the same info would've been easier
This is frustrating
uncut viper
you can make multiple NPCs in the same mod, so they would already reference the same info
lucid iron
We suggested alt ways to do this
tough crater
We suggested alt ways to do this
I'm just more frustrated that I didn't figure it out right the first time
lucid iron
But ultimately it's kind of bad user experience to download another mod just for what amounts to constants
Imo you should resolve all the tokens to their true values b4 release
uncut viper
to be fair to yourself, you did figure out how to add a custom token in the first place, which is pretty good tho
uncut viper
i do agree that if they are constants they should be replaced before release anyway

Yeah! The only C# mod would've been the core mod with all the shared info
faint ingot
yup ftm
OK thank you I'm now finding myself browsing FTM's source to see if I can figure out how to do it myself but I'm bad at this.
lucid iron
Then you can just make 1 CP mod yea
tough crater
But like you mentioned, it's kinda not really efficient considering how the custom tokens work
lucid iron
The i18n solution will work pretty well for you in that case i think
Remember that you can have a folder for your i18n now
tough crater
And remove the times.json from ur i18n so u don't ship it and confuse translator...
times.json?
lucid iron
So something like default/actual_lines.json default/times_REMOVE_BEFORE_SHIP.json
tough crater
OH, so basically doing a CTRL+H and replacing the names right before release?
lucid iron
And remember to do a big search and replace from token to actual value
Since u got multiple npc this will be nice for organizing their lines too
Ultimately you are release one CP mod, with 1 manifest.json & content.json
All your previously split content.json can become includes

craggy cape
```"Format": "2.5.0",

so basically two of this with the different twoareas .ᐣ
tidal stone
the two area basically is its coords on the sheet yee
craggy cape
and can i use one image for two sprites, or should they all be seperated?
tidal stone
you can use vs code to write it and it'll tell you when you have a good looking content patch
craggy cape
tidal stone
i would seperate them
uncut viper
are both of the sprites you're replacing next to each other (vertically or horizontally)? bc if so one image is fine
craggy cape
next to eachother
tidal stone
ooh
tawny ore
One image is fine either way, it's just whether it can be done in one or two patches
uncut viper
one image is better performance-wise
tidal stone
i didnt erealise they were next to eachother
craggy cape
ah oke
uncut viper
its like, negligible, but technically better
brittle ledge
Honestly I forgot that the in game one is specified as blue discus haha
If anyo...
Kaya had a goldfish mod but it's JA/1.5 so the goldfish market is pretty open
uncut viper
(negligible for one mod. ofc if all mods did many images itd be a lot worse)
brittle ledge
clearly we need more sea bass
craggy cape
if i kept catching sea basses i will rage quit. acnh ptsd /lhj
uncut viper
you could still do one image if they werent next to each other but it'd still be two different patches and probably equivalent to two images
in terms of perf
brittle ledge
if i kept catching sea basses i will rage quit. acnh ptsd /lhj
You want more sea bass, you say? Have I got the mod for you! 
craggy cape
i didnt erealise they were next to eachother
they wuite literally are next to eachother hehe
craggy cape
soo how can i find the X/Y coords
tidal stone
each 16 tile is 1 15 tile so you kinda just count iirc do you have anything that can make a 16 grid
tawny ore
craggy cape
idk if i can get it to be accurate pf
would a close proximity number be accurate enough or?
like if i hover over the moss it says 105, 70
tawny ore
It should align to the grid so whatever number divided by 16 is 0
So go to the closest X and Y that are divisible by 16
craggy cape
oke dokie
hard fern
If you can enable "grid mode" and set it to be 16x16 i think that will work
craggy cape
well its ms paint on windows 10 so idk if i can PFF
ornate trellis
love me tiled for these moments
hot gale
Do people not use texturepacker?
craggy cape
never heard of it
hard fern
Ms paint...
hard fern
Ok im a little scared 😨
craggy cape
ornate trellis
i mean, people generalla say anything better than paint will do
hot gale
Texturepacker takes individual images and stitches them into a tilesheet for you. It can also output a json with all relevant x/y data
rigid musk
Ever since Aba told me about aseprite's grid feature thing I have been saved from the horrors of figuring out tile indexes
hard fern
You best believe i have counted out at least 100 squares to find an index
ornate trellis
96,64 according to tiled
hot gale
I use gimp and texturepacker I just can't get into aseprite then again I'm not an actual artist
hot gale
I used texturepacker religiously when I was making vampire survivor mods
ornate trellis
hot gale
Oooh that's handy
tawny ore
Tons of options, almost anything is better than MSPaint, although they have been trying to improve it a bit recently
tidal stone
i plamn on buying asesprite next month :3
rigid musk
I used to use pixelstudio
hot gale
My girl uses resprite on her ipad
ornate trellis
lumi showed me the trick lol, just make a random map file and put the tilesheet you need coords from in there to find em for you
craggy cape
i think windows 11 has a grid feature for ms paint, but alas i cant FUCKING UPDATE TO IT
rigid musk
its pretty good but I like aseprite better for the features
craggy cape
i think windows 11 has a grid feature for ms paint, but alas i cant FUCKING UPDA...
hardware issues wah
craggy cape
okay so itll be 96,64 for both .ᐣ
rigid musk
I finally finished the horrible monster that was my 13h event... the amount of cursed issues I had with that thing were a lot (also i didnt realize but if you use two 'quickquestion' commands in your events you still start the other one with a / not a \ like I would have thought since its within another quickquestion...)
ornate trellis
thats x= 96 and y=64 and then size is 16 height and 32 width
dusk mulch
I wonder at what point does a mod stop modding SDV and it just becomes it own game…
craggy cape
lmaoo
hot gale
Texturepacker will export all the relevant json data when you make the sheet, but idk if people make sprites individually like I do or just draw them on a gridded canvas at once
rigid musk
I wonder at what point does a mod stop modding SDV and it just becomes it own ga...
unless its changing the entirety of what SDV is feature wise i think never
hard fern
I love mouse... i want to make mouse...
craggy cape
ok so this will change the two sprites right?
`{ "Format": "2.5.0",
"Changes": [
{
"Action": "EditImage",
"Target": "Tilesheets/Objects_2",
"FromFile": "assets/mossandseed.png",
"ToArea": { "X": 96, "Y": 64, "Width": 16, "Height": 32 }
}]}`
or should it be width 16 height 16
i think height 32 might mess it up
ornate trellis
you switched width and height
hard fern
when reading coords it's always x, y
ornate trellis
also that
hard fern
algebra class paid off
craggy cape
i can totally process information properly /lhj
rigid musk
I love mouse... i want to make mouse...
like a mouse npc?
hard fern
yeah
shut mountain
Roommate Hat Mouse
craggy cape
but yea thatll change the two sprites correct .ᐣ or should i add another to area snippet
hard fern
honestly the idea spawned from seeing a video where researchers made a new mouse and it just went from there
and i just thought "why not make more mice. everyone likes mice"
ornate trellis
but yea thatll change the two sprites correct .ᐣ or should i add another to area...
since theyre next to each other and you put a width of 32 that will change both tiles, yes
craggy cape
oke doke
ornate trellis
do you mean wooly mouse
hard fern
yep
ornate trellis
i love wooly mouse...
hard fern
that wooly mouse XD
shut mountain
Wooly mouse?
hard fern
"floofy" being used in a scientific context is hilarious too
shut mountain
Wooly mouse sounds wrong and very cute

you know how theres wooly mammoth

has anyone who has played with dialogue boxes spaghetti code know which method I could hook into to set a one time position offset?
I thought I was good with the constructor but I don't want it on question boxes, and the follow up to questions aren't new dialogue boxes for spaghetti reasons

shout out to when the mod don't work
craggy cape
oh the image size didnt match
wuh
"Can't apply image patch "Pink Moss and Seed > EditImage Tilesheets/Objects_2" to Tilesheets/Objects_2: source image size (Width:28, Height:15) doesn't match ToArea size (Width:32, Height:16)."
hard fern
make sure it's the same size as what you're editing, in this case 32x16
craggy cape
ok for some reason it just keeps reverrting backl to 28, 15 what
tidal stone
What do you mean by different colors
sorry chu just checked in on this ☠️ got distracted
i have 10 different files for optional files for a meteorite retexture in different colors :3 do i need a different manifest for each file or am i fine to just have the same in all
craggy cape
it was 32,16 when i replaced the file but as soon as smapi loaded its 28,15
"[Content Patcher] Can't apply image patch "Pink Moss and Seed > EditImage Tilesheets/Objects_2" to Tilesheets/Objects_2: the FromFile file 'assets\mossandseed.png' doesn't exist.
" WHAT DO YOU MEAAAAAn
hard fern
you sure you're replacing the right file
craggy cape
when i cleared my downloads it deleted the file i placed IN the cp file..
oh well, time to try again
btw the cp file is placed in my retextures folder
least this gives me a chance to backtrack tho lol
okay no errors this time
tame orbit
hey friends!
I'm starting a mod that will be using C# dll and also the content patcher
would I include both in the same manifest file?
or do I need 2 manifest files in the mod folder?
uncut viper
they must be two separate mods
but they can both share the same parent folder, as slong as they are in their own folders
so 2 manifests, 2 different unique IDs, two folders
hard fern
you cant have two in the same folder, but you can have both a CP mod and C# mod like button said
tawny ore
C# Mods have the ability to deploy both your C# mod and bundled content packs together. It's even easier if you use Khloe's mod manifest builder as it'll keep those updated as well.
It'll deploy them as a parent folder, with a subfolder for each bundled mod and dll
craggy cape
yall arent gonna believe this//
tame orbit
ooo okay that makes sense, thank you so much guys! 
tidal stone
aww i love it dottie!
craggy cape
okay time to convert a .png mod to CP
though it does say this
"must be in all 3 places"
the png is a full spritesheet so it wont be difficult i think..
could i use the load action for this??
hard fern
could i use the load action for this??
depends 
if you intend on replacing the entire file, yes. if not, then use editimage instead
craggy cape
depends <:SDVpuffersweats:585590140806758401> if you intend on replacing the *en...
yea the entire file for the fish lol
its just the basegame fosh
fish*
hard fern
yeah so load would work
craggy cape
aight
and stupidly should i add the other two files as well
lemme test without em actually
hard fern
well, "aquariumfish" is the fish tank sprites. even if you dont change the item sprite once you put a fish in a tank it will look like whatever the fish tank sprite looks like
hard fern
i know all of this because i too, used a mod to change the fish
craggy cape
so the content will just be
{ "Format": "2.5.0", "Changes": [ { "Action": "Load", "Target": "LooseSprites/AquariumFish", "FromFile": "assets/AquariumFish.png" } ] }
hard fern
pretty much
craggy cape
but 2 more times for the springobjects and other file
craggy cape
meh
it mentions it
whichever file has it so it appears in inventory and while holding
is what id prefer to load
hard fern
err how do i explain
it will likely overwrite recolors
because you are loading the whole thing
craggy cape
ah
craggy cape
whichever file has it so it appears in inventory and while holding
so which file does this .ᐣ
hard fern
springobjects
craggy cape
oh
hard fern
it's why i said unless you want to replace the entire file, to use editimage
uncut viper
if you are replacing everything, literally every pixel on an image, load can be fine
hard fern
it should be fine, since i doubt you'll have other mods editing the aquarium fish
uncut viper
if there is some stuff you do not want to replace or arent replacing, then use EditImage
craggy cape
it should be fine, since i doubt you'll have other mods editing the aquarium fis...
nah only mods that add fish
i just dont wanna overwrite my recolor mods
i can delete dshi fish tho, i just wanna keep my ui and town colors n such
craggy cape
also void, what program is this
ornate trellis
also void, what program is this
Tiled
ornate trellis
its what we use for map making
craggy cape
oof wait i realized its not the smartest with indivisual tiles.. by that i mean its like a 2x2 so it selects two images
craggy cape
i really dont wanna risk overwriting my recolor mods so 😭😭
ornate trellis
luckily those are just the fish objects
craggy cape
꒰ but i have no recolors that effect fish ꒱
craggy cape
luckily those are just the fish objects
yea the springobjects.png
craggy cape
no LOL its 32x32
lemme fix that
there we go
anyways so
i just copy this however many times i need to with the corresponding tiles, correct?
ornate trellis
you can do it in blocks, all fish next to each other can go in one block and you just change the width accordingly
ornate trellis
like you did with the moss
craggy cape
ohhh
brittle nest
Hello, i am wanting yo create mods but have no idea how to get started
lucid iron
what kind of mod do you want to make?
ornate trellis
!startmodding
ocean sailBOT
craggy cape
so if i did the first row first group it would be
"ToArea": { "X": 128, "Y": 80, "Width": 32, "Height": 16 } ?
ornate trellis
no
craggy cape
o
ornate trellis
theres 5 fish in the first block
ornate trellis
i showed you in the screenie a bit ago where to look for x and y i cant say if you did those right or not since i dont have that file lol
5 times 16 you gotta do
craggy cape
alright yea
so it would be
"ToArea": { "X": 128, "Y": 80, "Width": 80, "Height": 16 }
brittle nest
what kind of mod do you want to make?
Hair mods, probably via fashion sense
craggy cape
the first fish is 128, 80
ornate trellis
then yea
craggy cape
ight
lucid iron
take a look at some existing fashion sense hair mods then, the format is all pretty set in stone
!json you want to get a proper json editor to deal with the json files, even though they are just plain text
ocean sailBOT
tidal stone
is my updatye key the nuumbers on my uploading mod url or where do i find that again
ive never used it before 😓 i wanna start doing things correctly lol
lucid iron
nexus:yourmodid
brittle nest
Okay, ill check and see if I get it
lucid iron
e.g. nexus:31832
tidal stone
im sorry its not clicking does that mean its nexus:(myname).(modname)
tidal stone
ah
lucid iron
this id is the nexus url numbers
uncut viper
when you go to upload a mod and go to the 2nd step the url gets your ID put in it
lucid iron
yep
uncut viper
yes
tidal stone
ok ty ty
deep cypress
I remember the good old days of getting that ID number as nearly the first thing, because you needed it for event ID. Ah how I love that events are now a string!
hard fern
i feel like im making an even more complicated relationship chart by having to put these into "friends and family"
craggy cape
i think? i did this correctly once more. time to see if my goldfish shall appear
i forgot to put the file in my retextures folder lmao
okay NOW lets see if i did this right
marble nova
In the relationship tag thing on NPCs btw, does it just print whatever you type there in the text (like how Abigail says "my mom" in reference to Caroline), or are there only a few specific markers they accept? Would they accept "my sister" or some stupid nickname?
In this part:
"FriendsAndFamily": {
"Caroline": "[LocalizedText Strings\\Characters:Relative_Mom]",
"Pierre": "[LocalizedText Strings\\Characters:Relative_Dad]"
Bugger it, I will use separate images, sprite sheets can go... I can't say what I would've said or else I would be banned so...
tidal stone
i wanna insert images into my mod desc can i use imgur for that or is thee another preferred site

i wanna insert images into my mod desc can i use imgur for that or is thee anoth...
imgur is the one i see used most commonly

in the future please use smapi.io for both jsons and logs
but yes every of your patches should go inside a single "Changes" list
you should not copy the entire json over and over again
craggy cape
i did not realize the smapi log parser could parse jsons oops
uncut viper
not the log parser. the json validator
craggy cape
closeenough

theres a link on the left side
(not close enough bc you do not want to upload json into the log parser)

damn
uncut viper
i would say at a rough estimate maybe 90% of this is incorrect
okay so
you have patches right, the "Action": "EditImage" stuff
each of those is contained inside their own { } pair
its jusst those parts that you copy over and over

I've got an event that calls 'addCraftingRecipe' -- is there a way to call that so that it adds the crafting recipe for all farmhands as well?
uncut viper
a trigger action will still only run on the client that fires it
dreamy cedar
Would that work if the farmhand joins up after the event has fired?
uncut viper
if you can guarantee everyone sees the event then that works, otherwise you can set a mail flag on the host and have a conditional CP edit to add a trigger action if the host has that flag
the HasFlag token can check the host
dreamy cedar
I was thinking of having code in OnDayStart...
uncut viper
it can also check Any
calm nebula
(HasSeenEvent doesn't do anyplayer?)
uncut viper
shrugs
calm nebula
Or the eq in gsq?
uncut viper
it might
lucid iron
If you are in C# just do it?
uncut viper
clarification on whether you're using CP or not would be helpful
i also dont know if this is a broadcasted event or one meant for people to view on their own when they get to it
lucid iron
You can do a check on peer connected to see if anyone's seen a event and add the recipe
brave fable
but that would mean, unless you also have a way to deliver it while playing, that farmhands would need to reconnect to get the recipe
lucid iron
Do it on DayEnding too then 
calm nebula
If you're in c# just define your own event commmand
dreamy cedar
k, I thought perhaps I was missing an EZ-button somewhere. Looks like not.
calm nebula
And use multiplayer message
uncut viper
multiplayer message is what i was gonna suggest before i thought you might mean in CP
its easy
craggy cape
random thought, is it possible to change a mods dependency if the original is obsolete .ᐣ
i.e lets say i wanted to have eemies bees, but i want it to use custom companions than custom critters.
although does critters work still
uncut viper
not unless the alternative is completely slot-in compatible
uncut viper
which it almost certainly isnt
craggy cape
so youd have to recode the entire thing basically
uncut viper
yes
craggy cape
ouch
craggy cape
Try this https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/e4fda6ccd8de4550a4f5b430f02ae92b

if the fromfile is not cropped to exactly the area you want, then you need to specify a FromArea as well as a ToArea
hard fern
was about to say exactly that
uncut viper
without a FromArea, its trying to copy the entire .png, but into the tiny ToArea you specified
craggy cape
ah
ornate trellis
yea
im personally lazy so id just crop the images, rename them and change the fromfiles
but you do what you prefer
craggy cape
fair point
hard fern
im lazy in a different way so i cant be bothered to crop XD
deep cypress
Ok so VS Code is so much nicer for the Json files! How does one make it stop yelling at me about comments? Like //RandomCommentwhich CP ignores
fading walrus
set your json thingy to jsonc
hard fern
i just stuck the content patcher schema at the top
craggy cape
the question is am i bothered to crop 16 images
fading walrus
or the content patcher schema, yeah
deep cypress
Like it says comments are not allowed in JSON, but CP pulls a Mermaid Hair Don't Care!!!
hard fern

ornate trellis
the question is am i bothered to crop 16 images
you can also add the FromArea etc like Button stated
hard fern
botton
craggy cape
hm, what would the fromarea look like
ornate trellis
SHH+
uncut viper
if your images are the exact same as the ones you're editing then you can just copy the ToArea but rename it FromArea
ornate trellis
you know i suck at typing ok
craggy cape
ahh
hard fern
XD
uncut viper
you're telling it which rectangle to cut out of your fromfile and paste on top of the target
so if your fromfile is the same size as the target and things are laid out in the same places as the target
then the rectangles will be the same
craggy cape
so like
{
"Action": "EditImage",
"Target": "Maps/springobjects",
"FromFile": "assets/springobjects.png",
"FromArea": {
"X": 128,
"Y": 80,
"Width": 80,
"Height": 16
},
"ToArea": {
"X": 128,
"Y": 80,
"Width": 80,
"Height": 16
}
oops
hard fern
you need a from area too
uncut viper
you're missing a }
craggy cape
ops
craggy cape
so like that correct?
uncut viper
and do not forget the comma
craggy cape
alr time to boot up again
didnt work, i might have to crop then
well, okay the numbers are closer though
uncut viper
please use the log uploader
craggy cape
fsdjfh sorry
uncut viper
are you 100% sure the fromfile images are exactly the same as the originals, just coloured over top with your edits?
also wait, did you just copy the same FromArea for every patch?
sour sleet
Ok so I'm adding a new wild tree and I've made my entry into Data/WildTrees. Only thing is, I can't figure out how to add a custom seed to be available for my tree.
sour sleet
Yep I did
craggy cape
OH i did
sour sleet
Ohhh
craggy cape
yea lemme change the from area numbers OOPS
brittle pasture
seeds are items so you have to add them somewhere. most of the time (for items in general) it's Data/Objects

Thanks Selph!
dusk mulch
YESSS THE MINIGAME IS ALMOST DONE
wait...\
NOOOO I JUST REMEMBERED I NEED TO REDO THE SPRITES
sour sleet
If I want an item to not be able to be sold, do I just exclude the Price field?
uncut viper
sold from a shop or sold by a player?
sour sleet
sold by a player
uncut viper
is your goal to make them unable to lose it, or do you just not want them to get any money?
tiny zealot
i think you have to avoid the categories/context tags that cause it to be salable/shippable
sour sleet
I want it to behave like the other wild tree seeds so basically I want it to sell for nothing
uncut viper
but for selling to a store i believe thats a per-store thing
uncut viper
i thought you did get money for selling them?
not a lot but some
acorns have a price of 20
uncut viper
do not make it a tool
tiny zealot
mixed seeds have price 0, so i expect that works for your purposes
uncut viper
a price of 0 would probably work if you just want to not get moeny but still be able to sell it
but if you want it to be like the other seeds they do have a price
sour sleet
Yep, I'll use Price 0 
uncut viper
as an unrelated question, does anyone know if content loaded through the xTile LocalizedContentManager also goes through the AssetRequested pipeline?
Game1.game1.xTileContent vs just Game1.content
brave fable
i believe so, yes
uncut viper
wonderful, thank you. i had no idea it was a thing before now

of course. of course you did

uncut viper
just a sidestep around the answer
tiny zealot
because I'm too lazy to go look it up if someone knows off the top of their head...
the other way to avoid serializing with newtonsoft is to use properties with private getters

oh, you can pass in a root directory..
so.... could i make my own xnbs and load them through my own content manager

why cant coding be like in the cartoons where you press 1 button and you just made a whole OS
hard fern
bc we live in the real world ✨
brave fable
well then i'd be out of a job. i'd have to become a cartoonist or something
rigid oriole
the problem solving part of coding is why it's fun imo
i mean banging my head against a wall for 5 hours due to off-by-one error isn't fun
but other than that
rigid oriole
well then i'd be out of a job. i'd have to become a cartoonist or something

clint has these 2-space-wide animation frames. Can I use them in an event for animations or with showframe or am i cooked?
sour sleet
My custom tree seed isn't plantable in game, how can I make it plantable?
rigid oriole
i'm going to guess the game doesn't magiaclly know these frames are 2-wide
i betcha it's in Data/WildTrees or something
[[Modding:Wild_Trees]]
thanks farm computer
sour sleet
That's what I've edited and still nothing sadly
lucid iron
these r clint's schedule animation right
rigid oriole
these r clint's schedule animation right <:think:772028320221102100>
they're def not created for events but i want him to hit the anvil in an event 😔
i guess i have the power of C#
hard fern
"SeedPlantable": true, ?
lucid iron
what if u make him a TAS would that work
calm nebula
i guess i have the power of C#
Just use c$
sour sleet
`` "SeedPlantable": true,`` ?
That's already done. I don't know what's wrong!
calm nebula
You can do it by creating a double wide temporary actor
rigid oriole
register custom event command that's just "make clint hit anvil" or something?
calm nebula
But why
brittle pasture
My custom tree seed isn't plantable in game, how can I make it plantable?
did you gib Category -74
calm nebula
register custom event command that's just "make clint hit anvil" or something?
I mean I would generalize ir
brittle pasture
and/or Type: Seeds
calm nebula
Width height frames
sour sleet
did you gib Category -74
Yep
brittle pasture
idk which one actually activates that part
sour sleet
Well -74 certainly doesn't
calm nebula
cause you walk in while he's working on something
I meant more thr temporary actor work around when you can do it cleanly in c#
rigid oriole
ohhhh i see
sour sleet
I have Type Basic rn, should I change to Seeds?
ornate trellis
did you put "tree_seed_item" context tag
brittle pasture
hmm just checked the source code, I don't think it matters, and Category should do it
but try it anyway. and if doesn't work post what you have
sour sleet
did you put "tree_seed_item" context tag
Where would that go?
ornate trellis
your treeseed object
brittle pasture
yeah I dont see it in cornucopia's sapodilla seeds. maybe your tree code is missing stuff? I know SeedItemId has to be qualified (ie. has the (O) part) nope, just checked again lol
ornate trellis
it does? i dont have mine with (O) and they work 
sour sleet
Mine has (O)
ornate trellis
maybe posting the json would be a good idea tbh
lucid iron
if i have 2 mods that utilize the same shared project
is the class from that shared project considered the same class
or would they be per assembly
brittle pasture
and your item code?
brave fable
i'd assume per-assembly, but i don't use shared projects
lucid iron
yea i brained about this a bit more and that seems correct 
lucid iron
idk is it time for chucore...
the reason why i want this is bc i would like to reuse the extended temporary animated sprite model across multiple mods
rigid oriole
sometimese i think about barleycore but i think it's only happening if another thing i make needs these random features
otherwise it's just a useless dep for my mods that nobody else is using
lucid iron
yea idk
i think for now i'll just setup shared project but build it into other stuff
sad times

Say, when are you absorbing the rest of SMD's features, chue
So I don't have to release anything :p

hey all so I'm having trouble with my recipes... custom items at a custom shop with the currency being another custom item. I've seemingly got everything working, finally got the actual recipe to display and not the torch recipe - but when you buy the recipes, you don't learn then. As in, when you go to cook in the kitchen, the silhouettes are still blank
lucid iron
i mean if u want i can take custody of smd
ill put it into identifiable rings it make perfect sense trust
odd ginkgo
wracking my brain but can't tell what I'm missing
it's only the cooking recipes, there's also a crafting recipe and it works perfectly with the same format

upload the json to the link indicated in the governor command

I've looked at these JSONs for too long now lmao

does content patcher support a "load blank if not exists"? I swear there was talk of it at some point

maybe take a break and look at it again later? maybe some other people will be here in chat to help cuz idk anymore tbh and its like 2am here my brain isnt the best anymore lol

obviously this is not a complete json, it is just the relevant part with the objects, shop and recipes

well hopefully nobody else wants an event in the blacksmith then

never load a blank with exclusive priority unless its for your own area you control

thank
brittle pasture
I've looked at these JSONs for too long now lmao
at this point I suspect that your file isn't applied correctly somehow. if you have time, run patch export Data/Objects and patch export Data/WildTrees and see if the output looks right
(obviously not right now if you don't feel like it)
sour sleet
Aha, it doesn't seem to be in Data/WildTrees
So does that mean there's something wrong with my entry?
uncut viper

maybe you forget to include the file?
sour sleet
maybe you forget to include the file?
Oh wow I'm dumb. I did actually forget 
Thank you (and FunTime if they're still here) for your help
uncut viper
was -17 just a typo or did you think it would do something else
i dunno if anything else has it
just Truffle and Sweet Gem Berry, apparently... shrugs

how high can you count?

what do you think would be a number where it wont be like annoying to walk? +5?
(speed)

I use plus 3 usually.
+5 is usually a little dizzyning. Honestlt some days eve plus 2 is good enough.

+2 is already too much for me lmao

with ModID yeah but im not so sure bout the dot is what I mean
I believe the issue is that SMAPI sometimes returns a warning message if you use a . in a target name, because it does only a cursory check for if something has a file extension-type format on it.
But it doesn't actually prevent it from working
lucid iron
i like how crops/grass goes 
when you are zoom

+5 is my default walk speed in game

Hi, I was working on a very simple path mod, and I finally found a mod which does on a larger scale what I wanted to do, so after copying and making the changes to mimic it, I think my mod is finally formatted correctly and should account for everything the custom path needs to show up in game... except it isn't there. There are no errors in Smapi. The images needed are also in the right place. Here is the content json: https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/4f7137a6d1684ce48f1e6fc929d39e42
Any idea why it's not showing up in the crafting menu on my test farm?
Oh wait... I just saw an error in the json validator. I'll change that and see if it works.
Well, I changed it, and the issue is still the same.
fathom hound
how do i get it to layer the right frame?
it's putting the chopped layer on top of the actual tree sprite layer
hard fern
are you sure it's not intentional?
fathom hound
is there a workaround? :/
hard fern
well, if it's an intentional game mechanic i doubt there would be
save for just making the stump look the same as the one attached to the tree
fathom hound

you need to do 4 things:
- add the fence object to Data/Objects
- add the fence entry for that object to Data/FloorsAndPaths
- (optional) add a crafting recipe for it to Data/CraftingRecipes
- (optional) add the recipe to a shop in Data/Shops
it seems like you're trying to do all 4 of these, but putting it all in one entry editing Data/FloorsAndPaths
