I poked in the custom map and saw there were unique properties for Maru's sprite and portrait (I haven't looked at this map in over a year). I just yeeted those and have commands in the event itself to change Maru's portrait and sprite, hopefully that fixes the error and still does what I want it to

#

that's fair! I'm just tryin to see if I can fix it so I don't get reports ASHehe

okay hello !! im done fully clearing out any ai in the code.. the issue of NPC not accepting any gifts is still present,, it doesn't react at all at any item i give to him nor does the log show anything about any errors,, where should i start?

Since this is someone's published NPC mod that you want to translate, maybe use the i18n-fier?

I considered autocorrecting valley for the mod name

#

But I feel like having Autocorrect in the name is, alas, important for searchability

#

Because I'm sure most of the modding community will be actively seeking this mod out to install in all their games

#

I also considered having it run on literally all user-facing text in the game, but I figured that would be slow even with vanilla, but especially with heavily modded installs

Because again, most people will want this in a completely serious manner for their playthroughs

Clearly you need to just harmony patch DrawString

And if I did that I'd probably want to have a separate autocorrect with just names for NPCs... (custom dictionaries are usable with the library I used)

Wounder Eggo!

#

Item name words are autocorrected individually, not all together, so a word in multiple items will always correct to the same thing.

I guess in theory you could learn all the item names and their associated items that way. SDVPufferThink Though with how it works the item names aren't necessarily unique, I'm pretty sure I saw something besides Catfish that was also turned into raffish

Shoutout to dinosaur being translated as minotaur.

You heard that right, minotaurs are canonically dinosaurs now

Ah, but if you looked at the item names listed on the mod page, you'd know that fried eggs are the One True Eggo (well, "trued eggo", same thing)

#

When I saw strange bun became estrange idun, I wished it ended up as estrogen instead, so I could make a bunch of estrogen buns

(Technically estrogen isn't in the dictionary apparently, but oestrogen is)

Also shoutout to emeralds for becoming personified. Good job, jerald

I honestly have no clue why that is in the dictionary

oestrogen is British English

I'm sure many people who just see the mod name and item list would say "what the heck, that's the worst autocorrect ever"... that's literally the point, please read the description

Any UI mod author came across this error when patching Unlockable Bundles?
Can't apply image patch "Vintage Interface v2 - 1.6 fix > EditImage UnlockableBundles/UI/BundleOverviewIcon" to UnlockableBundles/UI/BundleOverviewIcon: target area (X:0, Y:0, Width:61, Height:56) extends past the right edge of the image (Width:60), which isn't allowed. Patches can only extend the tilesheet downwards.
I'm very confused, cause both assets are the exact same size (61x56) and I can't replicate it (2 users reported it so far).

#

My only idea for a probable cause is that maybe they manually replaced the original asset for something smaller before SDVpufferthinkblob

lucid iron

possible, UB just loads the pngs as is without checking sizes

Hi guys. Anyone mind answering a question I have about flipping individual tiles? How does the game recognize flipped tiles on a vanilla tilesheet? Can you just flip a grass tile for more variation, no issue, or is that not how it works?

lucid iron
#

as long as you use tmx, yep flip away

urban patrol
#

it’s saved in the tmx which i believe you can find somewhere when you open it in notepad++ (or wherever) if you really care. the only issue might be that lighting can look weird depending

lucid iron

rotate works too

Ok, thanks! I'm happy to hear that, because I'm so annoyed with only having one corner tile to use when making forest canopies.

It worked! I can't believe it was that simple... I guess I didn't really poke around the tools much when starting, because I had to search around a bit before I found the buttons to do so. Thanks! I do wonder though, is there any real difference between using that tool and flipping?

From the second code block in the guide you were linked to earlier.

#

Basically, NPCGiftTastes.json is the base game file that the game uses to store all gift tastes for NPCs, and it's inside the game's Data folder under the Contents

#

So the path is Data/NPCGiftTastes

#

And you leave off the .json file extension when defining a Target in your code

ornate locust
#

For images of a certain type, it's CAN be the same results, but something with other types of symmetry... like if you imagine an image of a person, you can't rotate the person in a 2D plane and get the same result as mirroring them left/right.

Ok, so should I mirror the object just I rotated to get what appears to be the same result?

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.

Ok, sorry for overcomplicating the question. I understand it

The 'DayEvent' token makes something work only on the day of a specific event. Is there a token that makes something work only during the event, not the whole day? I want an asset to load only while the event is happening

urban patrol
#

there's IS_EVENT

#

i've never used it though

#

if you meant event as in the cutscene-like things. if you meant the day of a festival that's different

dense void
urban patrol
#

you're good! i think many people mix up festival vs. event vs. cutscene. anyway, i think IS_EVENT should still work for you, since festivals are technically complicated events, but i've never modded a festival before, so i don't have more information, sorry

trying to decide if making crops on specific maps (Greenhouse/ginger island) have different growth/regrowth times if "out of season" (i.e cant grow at all out on the main farm) is even a thing that can be done, or is little more than my own unhinged musings [that nobody else wants or asked for even if its doable].

At least normal festivals, I'm not sure how passive festivals handle things exactly

# main hemlock https://smapi.io/log/b6112139d8064f0daad7dc2607985f3e

okay, so in your code, you use the LogName "Wanderer Gift Tastes Include" and the log says it can't load "Wanderer Gift Tastes", so it looks like you might still have an extra code block somewhere that was formatted wrong.

Look for "LogName":"Wanderer Gift Tastes" to try to spot it

# urban patrol i believe having variable crop growth times is something that requires C#? that ...

The whole idea is rooted in me being annoyed at late game stardew becomes so entirely centered on "season agnostic" locations with no maintenance gardens like the Greenhouse or Ginger Island.
And honestly I'd just like some way or another season to matter in those locations.
With the greenhouse taking on the current season for what not to effect, and applying a 50% initial growth time and 100% regrowth time increase to crops that can't grow outside during the current season(so for example ancient fruit would take 2 weeks to regrow during winter and 21 days to Initially grow), fruit trees and custom seasonal bushes instead have a 50% to fail to produce anything when they would otherwise while out of season in the greenhouse.
Ginger Island would be simmilar jus always considered to be Summer.

# ornate locust So it's not a fancy event, it's more like just a fancy normal day

Ahh yeah, makes sense. I think handling these passive events is way easier — just set a location and time. What bugs me with festival coding is that using DayEvent + Location + UpdateOnLocation messes with other mods, like mouahrara’s Module Collection (which makes festivals end earlier). After the event ends, you can walk into the festival area like normal, but the character still has the event assets loaded. Hoping IS_EVENT fixes that. Thanks a lot for the help!

latent mauve
#

Passive Festivals are so much easier to work with, especially because you just can schedule NPCs to path to them and go in and out. The only downside is that time isn't paused in them.

actually im looking at it now, its purely event code

this is nuts

the abby winning is just a fork

latent mauve
#

Well, the movement is event code

urban patrol
#

yeah lol i went in there and was like oh this is just here huh

latent mauve
#

Also, I'm not entirely sure how you'd target the correct part of the event script to not mess with anyone else's modifications to that entry

#

So you will likely run into compatibility issues

urban patrol
#

but it makes sense not to pathfind them based on which eggs you've already picked up, that would be nuts. a predetermined path is easier

ive never seen anyone modify the advancedmove portion of the egg fest

latent mauve
#

Is TextOperations: Append-ing an event entry a thing?

rough lintel
#

where is the cutscene thing defined in the game code. let me go searchy

rough lintel
latent mauve
#

If you could append it after Leo's AdvancedMove, that seems like the safest thing to do.

#

I specifically called out compatibility as an issue because if you manage it, someone else is inevitably gonna want to do the same with their own NPCs 😉

#

If they haven't already rewritten the event on their own to do so

rough lintel
#

ahhhh true true

main hemlock
latent mauve
main hemlock
#

i think they're not even in the file to begin with,, also the file isn't called disposition but it's called the character's name instead

#

should i rewrite the whole thing?

latent mauve
#

"disposition" is an old term from before Stardew Valley 1.6

#

So the new character entries should be using Data/Characters as the target and the entry should be the character's name

#

Both "CanSocialize" and "CanReceiveGifts" should be true by default, if they aren't included.

#

Next thing to check would probably be that your GiftTastes entry ID and the NPC's internal name match exactly

Can you make actual farm plants built into a map and unable to be harvested? Like, plants you can walk and swish through, kind of like grass on maps...

lucid iron
#

not that i know of

Ok. They don't need to register as crops, I'd just like them to swish when walked through, but I guess there simply is no tile property for that

lucid iron
#

Passable

#

#

Anyone remember where to find the tilled earth tiles which I think are only used on the farm when you hoe the ground (and maybe for spring onions in the forest)? I know that they are slightly different than the dirt available on the outdoors tilesheet.

ornate trellis
#

its in the Terrain Features folder

fierce vault
#

Oh, ok! ThanksSDVpufferthumbsup

#

Hmm, since it is not in the maps folder of the content unpacked folder, is the game still able to load it in normally by taking from the vanilla tilesets if it is removed from my mod's map folder on release?

ornate trellis
#

no

lucid iron
#

some custom tilesheets have crops too

fierce vault
#

Thank you, I was worried I might make recolors incompatible by using the exact tiles I wanted

#

Just to be sure, listing that mod as a dependency doesn't count as using its assets in its permission requirements right?

Oh, I didn't realize Button made it! She has a lot of useful mods, doesn't she?

unless stated otherwise it's fine

everyone uses smapi and content patcher PecoSmile

#

hm i swear there was a tilesheet that has seasonal crops

#

but it occur to me that it might literally just be sve lol

fierce vault
#

SVE does have some nice looking crop areas

brittle pasture
#

those are definitely manual(ly copied into a new tilesheet)

#

like the outdoor kegs and beehouses

fierce vault
#

Mhm, that makes sense. I would probably be doing a lot more of that myself, if I didn't want the recolor compatibility

lucid iron

daisyniko has some trellis flowers too

Those are cute, though I'm not so sure I want to have any tileset depencies. I often like to edit things to be exactly how I want them.

lucid iron
#

just make ur own tilesheet ez

fierce vault
#

Yes

lucid iron
#

then u can justify the work of recolor compat

fierce vault
#

I'm not entirely sure I understand?

lucid iron
#

well, if you use a tilesheet that has recolor compat

#

then u dont have to do things yes?

#

and conversely if you decide to release your own tilesheet mod, you can perhaps have enough in there to justify trying for recolor compat

fierce vault
#

Right. I'll probably stray from making anything that I need to make manual recolors for, like adding one new grass tile. If I did that, I would just need to make a whole grass tileset with it's own unique colors.

ornate trellis

urban patrol

i know for daisyniko there’s a layer mask(?) out there for you to easily recolor your own tiles but i have yet to figure out how to use it

the other limitation would be me expecting 66x240 size grass exactly (since all i am doing 4 u is swap out the texture lol)

it would not be a real "more kinds of grass" feature if i do it like this

but it could be like this grass in this location and that grass in that location or something like that?

lucid iron

yea

would be cool to have specific grass for custom places

and u get the normal rules about regular vs blue vs spiderweb grass

plus multiple kinds of grass texture per location if u want

the impossible challenge

Struggling to get a custom mod to do what I want. Specifically, a few mods I'm using combine to mean that some of the crops don't work properly with the Seed Maker; and since I'm also giving myself the challenge of not buying seeds, I'd like to find a way to get that working again. I've looked at a few other mods to see how they set up machine recipes, and I can't see where I'm getting it wrong. I've used the list_items command to confirm that the item IDs are correct, and I know the mod is loading correctly because I have a few crafting recipes in the same mod that are showing up properly. Here's what I have for using grapes in the seed maker, hopefully someone can help me figure out what I've got wrong:

"Changes": [
  {
    "Action": "EditData",
    "Target": "Data/Machines",
    "TargetField": [
      "(BC)25",
      "OutputRules"

Trying to figure out using FTM to spawn more dust sprites in the mines... am I correct in understanding that the framework works by spawning things in randomly-predetermined waves across valid time ranges set in the json? henyaHmm

lucid iron
#

is it mines mines or just dungeonish place

versed wyvern
#

The real mines

lucid iron
#

idk if ftm has features for that NotteThink

#

mines are Special and all

rigid musk
#

that's what I was thinking, I don't believe FTM lets you spawn stuff in the mines pondering

versed wyvern
#

It can spawn in the mines when the player's present but this random wave spawning means I can't get it to spawn them just one time when the player's present sadblob

rigid musk
#

well FTM does let you do 'spawn only when player present'

#

and it lets you do a minimum and maximum spawn

#

and it lets you have a minimum tick between spawns... so I would think that it does

#

specifically this section

versed wyvern
#

Yeah, but because the spawns are pre-distributed across waves in the day according to the minimum and maximum spawn counts, I don't seem to be able to tell it to, say, spawn X-Y sprites while the player's present then stop spawning

#

Rather, the min and max settings appear to be "Distribute X-Y sprite spawns across the specified time range"

#

I could tell it to try spawning more often, and then cap the simultaneous spawns, but I'm pretty sure that would cause it to spawn more enemies every 10 minutes as soon as you kill any of them

rigid musk
#

Ohh I see what you mean yeah ... yeah

#

are you using FTM because of custom drops?

#

I think content patcher now allows you to spawn monsters if I'm not mistaken, maybe it can do what you want

#

or you could use spacecore

#

not sure if either framework would have exactly what you're looking for but you can look into em

versed wyvern
#

The primary thing I wanna do is just distribute more dust sprites across the entire mines so every playthrough involves less of that one portion where you're just grinding the iron levels for sprites because the Burglar Ring is so good blobthink

#

But being able to finetune sprites to be weaker and have less loot on the lower floors, and the opposite for the later floors was something I also wanted to do if I could get the spawning to work

rigid musk
#

I think the issue there is that FTM wouldn't stop the vanilla sprites from spawning either? Though I don't know if you mind that

#

I don't think spacecore can do health/dmg but it can do drops

versed wyvern
#

Well, I wasn't gonna touch the existing iron levels, just 1-30 and then, what was it, 80-120?

rigid musk
#

Ohh oh I see

#

You meant adding them to all the floors lol

versed wyvern
#

Hmm... I do see a segment about monsters in Spacecore but it looks like that whole spawning action is on Trigger Action

#

Provided this works maybe I could look into a trigger action checking for if the player is on any of the floors I want to add spawns to whenever changing locations but I get the impression that'd be bad for performance? blobthink

#

You want the ! in front of player has mail

median forum
#

#

#

rigid musk
#

Or tick over to 10 minutes anyways

urban patrol
#

i actually had a question about spacecore monster spawning in events. can you use a trigger action inside of an event to spawn them?

royal stump
#

SDVpufferlurk Just to confirm, FTM isn't really built to spawn things in the mines. It only spawns objects at specific or random times of day; if no players are currently on a specific mine floor, it doesn't exist, and FTM just doesn't spawn anything there. It can work for certain uses, but adding more dust sprites everywhere would be pretty elaborate to write, and inconsistent about spawn rates.

#

(I am still working on trigger actions that would be more flexible for stuff like that, but I've been on hiatus for a while again)

versed wyvern
#

Yeah, the time-based spawning is where it just slips through my fingers, I think Aqua_Sad

royal stump
#

If you set spawn times 600-2600 and "a player needs to be there", monsters will basically just get pre-assigned a random time at start of day, and if somebody's there, they'll appear. It makes the numbers a bit awkward, and can't pre-spawn anything on map entry, etc. SDVpufferdizzy

versed wyvern
#

By maximum spawns per day I had initially thought maybe it meant that it would stop spawns after successfully spawning that many mobs and I could tell it to just keep trying to spawn a bunch every 10 minutes

#

I could have lived with making the new spawns effectively once-per-day

royal stump
#

That's the other issue, yeah. FTM can't check how many monsters exist, it just has time settings for "only let this area spawn X monsters at the same specific time" and a delay between spawns

#

At some point I meant to put in a caching system so if the mine level didn't exist, it'd just spawn them once someone went there, but it was pretty awkward too. SDVpufferdizzy Tldr I'd just recommend looking at Spacecore to see if it's an alternative for now, or wait for other trigger action stuff.

quaint moss
#

The game has a buff for combat level that doesn't display in the tooltip unlike other skill buffs, and it makes more/harder monsters spawn, right?

#

Could you use that but only for the dust sprite floors as an alternative?

versed wyvern
#

Yeah, I'm gonna keep digging around because I really don't like that dust sprite grind but I don't want to just cheat in the Burglar's Ring every run either 02ded

versed wyvern
#

Without C# we can't add new monsters, can't change spawning rules for existing monsters, can only easily add new places for them to spawn

rigid musk
#

I'm not sure honestly, I did my temporary map in a way you're probably not supposed to (Aka loading it into the game and sending the player there during the event)

vernal crest
#

I just use changeLocation, but I haven't tried doing it as A -> B -> A. I did A -> B -> C.

rigid musk
#

Aba you haven't spelt your name!! O: /silly

vernal crest
#

I tell a lie. I did A -> changeToTemporaryMap B -> changeLocation C. Not sure why I did that.

urban patrol

i mean i guess i could use change location instead of temporary map, since it's just the town map!

vernal crest
#

I don't know how the two commands differ.

#

Time to peer at the code

lucid mulch
#

temporarymap makes a new instance of the location under the location name "Temp"

#

changelocation is a warp that once you arrive immediately starts the event playing again

#

also if you want the best help, a copy of the error itself would be more useful than "an error"

vernal crest

Presumably there must be some situations where using changeToTemporaryMap is desirable over changeLocation?

i'm still testing changeLocation though

lucid mulch
#

that looks like you missed the {{ModId}} prefix on the event warp

urban patrol

oh, it doesn't take the plain tmx name?

lucid mulch
#

did changeToTemporaryMap CrystalAndNiko and theres no map called CrystalAndNiko, but there is a handwrittenhello.dbda_CrystalAndNiko

urban patrol

you're probably right because this is how i load the map

            "Action": "Load",
            "Target": "Maps/{{ModId}}_CrystalAndNiko",
            "FromFile": "assets/maps/CrystalAndNiko.tmx"
        },```

but i think i still need to learn exactly what load targets are lol
lucid mulch
#

SMAPI has the concept of the asset pipeline.
when the game (or mods accessing the game pipeline) tries to load an asset, smapi will ask all the mods if they want to handle the asset.
mods can add a load handler (like yours), and/or edit handlers.

only one load can happen, and if no one tries to load, smapi will let the vanilla logic try and read the XNB file from the Content folder.
if a load did happen, then the edit(s) will run on priority order.

urban patrol
#

so wait, even if i didn't load my map, SMAPI would try to read it anyway?

rigid musk
#

No cause it wouldn't know it exists

#

You loading it tells the game it exists

lucid mulch
#

assets in the asset pipeline only exist once something tries to read it

rigid musk
#

(I think)

lucid mulch
#

an asset that has a load handler but never gets requested will never be read from disk

vernal crest
#

Well, if she used changeToTemporaryMap {{ModId}}_CrystalAndNiko in her event but hadn't loaded it, she would get the same error as she's getting now: that it doesn't exist.

lucid mulch
#

so in this case, it was the act of the changeToTemporaryMap CrystalAndNiko command executing that caused the asset Maps/CrystalAndNiko to be read, which no one registered a load for, so it tried (and failed) to read from an xnb file in the Contents folder which didn't work

urban patrol
#

ohhh i see so it only tries to read it (and fails because it's expecting an xnb?) when it's called somewhere by a not-load

lucid mulch
#

an xnb error showing up in the log means no one in smapi tried to load it

vernal crest
#

No it doesn't fail because it's expecting an xnb. It fails because it's expecting a map but there is none (and then it tries to find one in the vanilla files and there's none there either).

lucid mulch
#

if it was Maps/handwrittenhello.dbda_CrystalAndNiko then it would have been fine, as content patcher is loading it on behalf of your content pack

rigid musk
#

It was expecting "CrystalAndNiko" which you didn't load and is not in the games Content folder nor is loaded anywhere else

Your map is actually your Mod Id+CrystalAndNiko which means that's the map you need to do stuff with

urban patrol
#

this all seems like it should be obvious lol but i realized i have no actual knowledge of the asset pipeline so thank you guys

lucid mulch

its been on my todo list for like a year to diagram the asset pipeline, but never get around to it

lucid mulch

{
    "When": {
        "Hearts:Abigail": "{{Range:11,14}}"
    }
}

has very different behaviour to

{
    "Condition": "LOCATION_NAME Here UndergroundMine{{Range:1,9}}"
}

In the former, its a content patcher condition, where the key (Hearts:Abigail) being a set of things, overlaps with the value ({{Range: 11,14}}) which is also a set of things.

In the later, the tokens only being used for string substitution.
in both cases, Range is just subbing out for the set, and is identical to:

{
    "When": {
        "Hearts:Abigail": "11,12,13,14"
    }
}

and

{
    "Condition": "LOCATION_NAME Here UndergroundMine1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9"
}

(I can't remember if cp will add spaces or not)

vernal crest
# rigid musk Oh I'm genuinely curious!

I was reading this line: @event.temporaryLocation = ((mapName == "Town") ? new Town("Maps\\Town", "Temp") : ((@event.isFestival && mapName.Contains("Town")) ? new Town("Maps\\" + mapName, "Temp") : new GameLocation("Maps\\" + mapName, "Temp")));

The ternary conditional operator is the ? : bit. It's like an IF formula in Excel with the question mark and colon in place of the commas in Excel: evaluate this query that is written before the question mark ? if the query is true, use this value that is written before the colon : if the query is false, use this value that is written after the colon.

So this is saying: if the mapName is Town, make a new instance of Town with a mapPath of Maps/Town called Temp. If it's not, assess the next query which is whether the current event is a festival and the mapName contains Town. If that's true, make a new instance of Town with a mapPath of Maps/mapName called Temp. If it's false, make a new instance of GameLocation with a mapPath of Maps/mapName called Temp.

#

So Mud will just have to write a really long condition of "ANY \"LOCATION_NAME Here UndergroundMine1\" \"LOCATION_NAME Here UndergroundMine2\" \"LOCATION_NAME Here UndergroundMine3\"" etc?

versed wyvern
#

If I understand the GSQ correctly I think I can put the entire list of mine levels I want in that one condition

#

But perplexingly, the incorrect usage of Range seems to cause it to spawn them in every single map I go to

vernal crest
#

Oh yeah so just "LOCATION_NAME Here UndergroundMine1 UndergroundMine2 UndergroundMine3" etc

lucid mulch
#

doing a patch export on the asset that contains the condition will show what it became in the end

versed wyvern
#

That appears to work, but can I make it less annoying to write? yugu I'm gonna need to add a separate trigger for 80-120 with a stronger sprite variant

#

Also is it going to cause problems if I have this LocationChanged trigger action checking for 27/36 locations CleveWhat

rigid musk
lucid mulch
#

formatting makes it less scary

@event.temporaryLocation = (
    (mapName == "Town")
        ? new Town("Maps\\Town", "Temp")
        : (
            (@event.isFestival && mapName.Contains("Town"))
                ? new Town("Maps\\" + mapName, "Temp")
                : new GameLocation("Maps\\" + mapName, "Temp")
          )
);

Still scary if you're me and you've only done the very basic 'hello world' stuff for C#/Any code heh

#

I did get a bit farther than just 'Hello World' to be fair to myself... just not... That far

vernal crest
#

I had been avoiding learning about ?: because of my struggles with understanding stuff like lambda expressions but once I bit the bullet just now I realised it was easier than I was expecting.

lucid mulch
#

that being said, most style guides would try to avoid nested ternary operators where possible due to the added complexity it adds

#

note it gets its name purely from taking 3 arguments, pretty much every other operator is a binary operator (2)
and since its pretty much only ternary style operator around, everyone just calls it the ternary operator

vernal crest
#

That is an interesting titbit

lucid mulch
#

+ for example is a binary operator as it takes two numbers a + b
though ++ is a unary (1) operator.
myNumberVariable++;

vernal crest
#

Welp, I think I will need to put off trying to determine the functional differences between changeToTemporaryMap and changeLocation until a time where I know more C#.

versed wyvern
#

So as mentioned I'm a little wary about performance impact from this long-ass LOCATION_NAME condition having a list of 27 locations in it, under the assumption that might be a somewhat heavy check, if I place another condition in front of it like LOCATION_IS_MINES first does the game skip checking further conditions if the first one returns false? thonking

You can have Include patches inside Included files, meaning that your gift tastes Include patch doesn't have to be in content.json itself but if it's in another file, that file itself needs to have an Include patch inside your content.json.

So it's possible that you do have your Include patch for your gift tastes somewhere but you haven't realised it. The easiest way to check will be if you hop into the game, load a save, copy patch summary full YourModIdHere into the SMAPI window (replacing YourModIdHere with whatever the mod's unique ID is) and then sending us a link to the log after it runs.

# versed wyvern So as mentioned I'm a little wary about performance impact from this long-ass LO...

Repeating my three-part question here hoping the morning crowd might have some insight, I'm currently needing to use a LocationChanged trigger action checking for 27 Location_Names for a GSQ condition (UndergroundMines1-29)

  • Is there a way I can write this more cleanly than 27 separate locations?
  • Is it a terrible idea to make the game check for 27+ location names on LocationChanged?
  • Will the check be lighter if I add in another condition that will return false if the player's not in the Mines or does the game still check all conditions even if one has already returned false?

Since its a case of mine levels, could you limit the location checking to the map type? (Frost/Lava/Castle etc)

brittle ledge
#

SDVpufferthinkblob Is there not a GSQ for current mine level so you can just check the range? Or is it only lowest reached that's a GSQ?

What about the Shadow in the offset field in Data/Characters?
The documentation says: Offset (Optional) A point pixel offset applied to the shadow position. Default zero.

Is this Offset field an integer, or a point like this?
"Position": {
"X": 0,
"Y": 0
}

tiny zealot
#

it's a Point, like that

pine elbow
#

I figured, what confused me was the "Default zero"

#

They should have written default { "X":0, "Y":0 }

tiny zealot
#

that would be clearer, but for a certain subset of programmer types, "zero" applied to a struct of this nature implies that all the fields are zero

pine elbow
#

I found an error in the documentation, there is the property: KissSpriteFacingDirection
But I didn't find this property in the Data/Characters file
However, I found the property: KissSpriteFacingRight, and this is not in the documentation

I need to create an ornamental "no entry" sign mod

brittle pasture
#

late, but EMC next version will support ReadyEffects, which can accept a IncrementMachineParentSheetIndex field to determine which sheet index to use depending on the input item
the caveat regarding your mushroom log idea is that the new log sprites has to be on the same sheet as the base sprite, which requires either extending the craftables tilesheet (bad), or switch mushroom logs to using to a new tilesheet (better, but because a machine's sheet index is saved, if you want a user's existing logs to not look weird your new sheet will need to have the log's sprite be in the same place as the current sheet)

fathom hound
#

Nice thanks Selph!

Would I be able to use Replace instead of Overlay instead for the new sprite sheet? Or does that not matter

brittle pasture
#

what I meant is switching logs to a new texture name altogether

#

so it doesn't matter

#

basically, mushroom logs' sprite index in the data is 283. if you switch to a new texture to accommodate your new sprites you'd also need the mushroom log's base sprite to be at sprite index 283, because that number is saved into the item
(you don't need to do this if you just tell your users "if you install my mod your existing mushroom logs are gonna look weird, break them or harvest from them once to fix them)

To future atra: look at how objects remember spritesheets

Pathos, I thiiink it came up previously but any chance the "Mod not loaded, missing requirement (<ModId>)" could be made into a link + banner on top maybe, similar to the updatable mods banner? ppl often miss it for some reason

lucid iron
#

In the log parser u mean?

final arch
#

I know you'd need the mod IDs which obviously isnt availble per nexusmods API (duh), but maybe it'd be possibly with a registry from mod auhtors or so?

#

yes, sry

lucid iron
#

That sounds like a good idea

final arch
#

Im fairly certain Pathos mentioned it years back and had some good reason not to do it but I forgot

lucid iron
#

Although rn it does show fail to load

#

Perhaps that + a reason tag

ivory plume
#

The log parser does have access to the compatibility list data; so as long as it has the mod ID, it can fetch the mod name + URL serverside.

lucid iron
#

fail to load (missing dependency: modid)

#

Can also show things like fail to load (empty folder) DokkanStare

ivory plume
#

The log parser isn't very fun to extend though, since it's all regex parsing of the raw log text. I've thought about having SMAPI dump a hidden log entry with machine-readable data (e.g. loaded mod IDs, update alerts, missing dependency IDs, etc), which would make things like that way easier.

final arch
final arch
#

it is mostly frameworks

ivory plume
#

Currently yes. In theory I could extend the monthly mod dump to generate a metadata .json file which the server can access though.

#

(It's a bit lower-priority unless someone wants to submit PRs though. My next project for SMAPI might be to improve security; e.g. add an optional permission request feature when a mod tries to load third-party DLLs or access certain system APIs like networking.)

lucid iron
#

Less crimes allowed DokkanStare

rigid musk
#

TIL that ebi stands for Event By Id... which you would think I would know but I never actually directly looked at that on the console commands wiki ... or thought about what it could mean...

lucid iron
#

What are the implications of the third party dll thing

#

Does it mean any dll that isn't game, smapi internal, or another mod?

ivory plume
#

Yep, any DLL that's not (a) already loaded by SMAPI and (b) not the mod's main DLL. For example, that would prevent a mod from loading a C++ DLL (which SMAPI can't analyze), so it could sneak data harvesting past its network API restrictions.

lucid iron
#

Guess casey's autocorrect is banned then

old edge
#

trying to come up with some kind of puzzle for collecting wisps..

ivory plume
#

It's just at the idea phase currently, but the rough idea is:

  1. The player enables paranoid security restrictions (off by default at first).
  2. When SMAPI is loading mods, it finds one which needs a third-party DLL or accesses a restricted API.
  3. A UI popup is shown asking the user to approve or reject the permissions required.
  4. If it's approved, SMAPI continues loading the mod; if rejected, the mod is disabled with an error message.
#

(One big worry I've always had is that SMAPI mods can do anything. There's nothing stopping them from reading all your browser passwords and sending them to a third-party server, except the honor system and Nexus TOS. Currently it's "install mods at your own risk", but I'd want to make it a bit safer than that.)

calm nebula
#

Does that include, say, reflection loading dlls

#

Sorry

blissful panther
#

I imagine SMAPI might be able to fairly easily get all system calls from native DLLs/.so files without too much difficulty.

Though analysing them and coming to a conclusion is a different matter entirely.

ivory plume
#

The .NET reflection API would probably require a permission, since it could be used to bypass any security restrictions. SMAPI's reflection API would be fine though, since it can check what you're reflecting at runtime.

calm nebula
#

Yeahhhh.....

lucid iron
#

Oh wait what about harmony AccessTools

ivory plume
#

I guess Harmony would probably need a permission request.

I imagine it would be something like...

Mod permission request
SpaceCore needs extra permissions because you enabled security mode.

It needs:

  • .NET reflection: access or load any code (may be used to bypass security checks).
  • Harmony: access and modify any code at runtime (may be used to bypass security checks).
  • Save serializer: directly access or change the game's save serializer.
  • File access: read or change any files on your system.

iron ridge
#

is this a proper ui or fancy console stuff?

ivory plume
#

It's just an idea at this phase, but probably an OS-specific proper UI.

lucid iron
#

I hope there's a bulk UI then

blissful panther
#

Or potentially break every mod using Harmony, and require going through a SMAPI abstraction over Harmony like the reflection helper?

#

Then you could at least blacklist certain targets.

lucid iron
#

Well smapi is already shipping a special version of harmony right

#

Can u just do stuff to it

#

Loading 0harmony.dll separate is like 72 bad as we seen with 1.6.9/4.1.0

ivory plume
#

Potentially. The initial version of the feature would probably just have a permission for Harmony in general though. The idea is to prompt a "do I trust this mod?" question and avoid any surprises (e.g. "why does this flashlight mod need network access?").

lucid iron
#

It connects to my IoT irl flash light

ivory plume
#

SMAPI could also have a manifest.json field which lets the mod explain why it needs certain permissions.

So the user would see something like:

Mod permission request
Flashlight Mod needs permissions because you enabled security mode.

It needs:

  • Network access: download or upload data to the Internet.
    Reason provided (not verified): "Flashlight connects to the Flashlight.io domain to sync with your physical flashlight."

final arch

It would be kinda useless if it's not eventually made default

ivory plume
#

It'd be opt-in for SMAPI 4.x, but could be enabled by default in SMAPI 5.0.0 (once the feature is more polished and mod authors have had time to adjust).

#

(Hi Casey!)

next plaza
# ivory plume I guess Harmony would probably need a permission request. I imagine it would be...

Don't forget third party DLLs, since SpaceCore's content engine thing is technically a separate DLL.

(Also, RIP autocorrect valley)

Gotta say, I kinda hate this for SpaceCore in particular given how most mod users install it. 😛 And you can't exactly whitelist a mod ID either since anyone could set their mod ID like that to fool people. Which leads to the only real solution being signing your mods and being someone SMAPI trusts, which A) can still be bad if someone "turns bad" or is compromised, and B) sounds like a big pain (is SMAPI itself even signed yet?)

calm nebula
#

Pathos, what if I gpg sign builds

next plaza
ivory plume
#

(SMAPI isn't signed because it's a pain in the butt.)

I think players would just get used to permission requests (like on Android), so the permissions would just need to make sense for the mod. Like if you install a popular framework mod that does a million things, file/network access isn't a big issue. If you install a flashlight mod and it requests network access with no reason given, players might be concerned.

next plaza
#

<player installs a 400+ modpack for the first time getting into modded SDV, has to sort through at least 100 permission requests> /s

lucid iron

Well that's why the UI should be a checklist sorted by perms Dokkan

blissful panther
#

(It would at least have more sane/understandable permissions than Android used to. It's sort of getting better!)

lucid iron
#

For people to not read and press confirm on ez

ivory plume
#

(If 25% of mods need advanced security permissions, that's a bit of an issue that would hopefully be cleaned up before SMAPI 5.0.0.)

#

But yeah, while it's off-by-default in SMAPI 4.x we can see how it works in practice and polish it (e.g. add a bulk UI somehow).

QualityModifiers: The documentation says this
(Optional) Quantity modifiers applied to the Quality or Stack value. Default none.
The quality modifiers operate on the numeric quality values ​​(i.e. 0 = normal, 1 = silver, 2 = gold, and 4 = iridium). For example, silver × 2 is gold.

I don't understand if it has a list of values, or just one value, and if it is a text or numeric

Using SMAPI's built-in file APIs (e.g. ReadJsonFile) would be fine. But accessing files directly (e.g. using System.IO) would need permission; even if it's just within the mod folder, it would let you do things like write a batch script and execute it.
