ionic dawn
#

what is fashion sense?

lucid iron
#

its a mod that gives you more options when it comes to making clothing

#

vanilla system pretty restrictive

ionic dawn
#

Ah I see

#

Thanks, i'll be sure to take a look

lucid iron
#

personally i recommend making a hat

ornate trellis
#

hats are nice

lucid iron
#

they get the most space out of the vanilla clothing options

#

and only need 4 sprites

ionic dawn
#

Any such things as animated clothing? (just asking for in the future)

lucid iron
#

also a FS feature

ionic dawn
#

nice

#

Alr thanks i'll see what I'll do :)

#

Was I hallucinating? I thought that there was a keyword we could use in a schedule to make a character start the day at a new location, or at least warp them to that spot instantly?

0 schedule

#

(You may also have been hallucinating but you just start the schedule with 0 location x y. See leo's)

Hey everyone, I'm curious about something and wanted to ask your thoughts. If someone does a translation or any add on content for a mod I've made, is it allowed for the author of the additional content to receive DP for their add on mod?

uncut viper
#

it's up to you

rare orbit
#

so? ya know the little npcs framework? how do i allow for the children to be born to any npc? i wanna do a pack that looks like Amelia's kids Sonya and Morgran and just have for other kids of my ocs

karmic gust
#

On Nexus specifically there's a section in permissions that says, "Give permission for users to be able to earn Donation Points for their mods if they use my assets?" and you can choose yes, no, or contact me for permission

sour sleet
#

Thank you both. What do the majority of mod authors prefer?

#

And what would I do if my permissions weren't respected?

iron ridge

inner harbor
#

I don't mind them getting DPs for translations or art, i encourage it! If they replicated my entire mod in the process that would piss me off though.

yeah true that tho

hate to bug again about this, but im struggling to figure out what ive missed, as despite setting up the ModConfig data model(with defaults embedded), no config file ever gets produced, as such despite trying to have GMCM intergration it just doesn't work. ive clearly missed something important.

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.

i ask for your json because discord is weird about displaying backslashes and your event code up there looks wrong but it may be discord formatting

Dunno if I'm using the right words, but how does one do a harmony patch for another mod? Is it possible to just harmony the namespace + class as a string for the type?

uncut viper
cyan marsh

it'll probably still find it by name alone if the type name is unique enough but a fully qualified name is better ofc

from there its harmony patching as normal

unless your mod sets a hard dependency on the other mod

@brittle pasture what's your name on nexus?? im about to upload the recipe mod in a bit and i wanna credit you!

uncut viper

the name you have to type in gets a bit weird sometimes depending on how they structure their mod

also also? when crediting is it ok to just input the name of the user who helped ya you know or their nexus username?

Hello everyone,

I’m [reaper], a huge fan of Stardew Valley and Demon Slayer. I’d love help turning Shinobu Kochō into a fully functional NPC mod. I don’t have the skills to build a mod from scratch—what I have is:

  • WeddingRoom_Attempt.png (112×128 px AI-generated room, might look distorted).
  • Placeholder_Shinobu_Sprite.png (96×128 px static sprite sheet, all frames show her standing).

What I Need

  1. Animated Sprite Sheet

    • 96×128 px, 4×4 grid (32×32 per frame).
    • 4 directions: Down, Left, Right, Up (idle + 2 walking frames).
    • Transparent background, exact anime look (purple-green hair gradient, butterfly pin, Demon Slayer uniform; sword optional).

  2. Heart Events & Wedding Room

    • Heart progression (0→2, 3→5, 6→8, 10→marriage).
    • “Butterfly training” event (optional).
    • Include my wedding room design if possible.

  3. Marriage Behavior (like any vanilla NPC spouse)

    • After marriage, Shinobu should behave exactly like any NPC spouse: kiss the farmer, cook, sleep together, chat, etc.
    • She should continue wearing her Demon Slayer uniform as a spouse.

  4. Map & Social Tab

    • Add her icon via NPCMapLocations so players can find her easily.

I’m happy to wait as long as needed or help test. Apologies for the rough assets. If anything isn’t possible, please let me know. Thank you so much! 🙏

— [reaper]

honestly just reference code

#

it's way better than ai generated code

uncut viper
rare orbit
#

is it better to reference code? is it fine to borrow code??

#

like especially for a content patcher mod or a similar mod to make sure it functions?

uncut viper
#

with Content Patcher theres only so many ways to write specific kinds of edits, so it can be a bit muddy

#

but if you're copying jsons wholesale you'd want to look at their permissions

to be on the safe side

but if you take an NPC mod and just change the names around, thats no good

honestly only time i copied code was for a portrait to function right

@rare orbit back 😂 yes you can

i have nexusmods

and all need for npc

but ineed sprite sheet and Portraits

urban patrol
#

maokai, if you're looking for someone to make an NPC mod for you, you can commission a mod author/artists to create it for you, or you can put your mod idea in the github repo, but it's not likely to be made for you for free

i dont

twin wadi

i think with content patcher theres just a limit to how unique code can be so the biggest thing is creativity and the content

uncut viper
#

all of Platonymous's mods are GPL licensed

crude plank
#

but they have GPL license

uncut viper
#

the nexus permissions are nother thing

#

so you can legally use their code if you follow the license. cant put it on nexus though

cyan marsh
#

not all the time.. Nexus recognizes licenses

uncut viper

(i realize who im explaining it to i just am saying it for others)

@twin wadi no ineef sprite sheet to work i try

cyan marsh
#

i know.. i'm just supplementing as your Nexus Moderator x3

uncut viper
#

it was always my understanding that if nexus permissions were more restrictive than the repo, the nexus permissions apply if the mod author wants them to? is that incorrect?

#

speaking specifically about uploading to Nexus, not redistributing anywhere else

half tangle
#

As I understand it, within the confines of Nexus, yes.

uncut viper
#

and i presume if the mod author is unable to be contacted to ask if thats what they want then... yknow

half tangle

Nexus permissions handle Nexus stuff, but beyond that is the world of licenses

if its an artistic asset then that can still be theft depending on how closely you copy it

rough lintel
#

is drawing something in your style theft

uncut viper

it can be

like… drawing a tree branch???

as with anything lawyerly: 1) i am not one 2) it depends

Can you steal vibes

rough lintel
#

hypothetical: sakura ui, right. its got trees in there. if i also drew trees (not exact replicas, but similar design motifs to make my own sakura interface), thats not theft

uncut viper
#

you can draw Princess Peach in your art style, or someone that looks 99% like Princess Peach, but im pretty sure Nintendo still wont be happy

rough lintel
#

thats genuinely “inspired by”, no?

uncut viper
#

if you try to claim its your character

#

i wouldnt call that theft, no. but see above about me not being a lawyer and also the "it depends" part

rough lintel
#

well that was what i meant by “create something in its image”

uncut viper
#

just warning that remaking things yourself is not always safe from legal trouble

#

if someon designed a very particular sakura tree and you designed one just like it, then it gets muddier

#

see: Bungie in court right now for someone claiming they copied their story ideas and inspiration from their concept art

twin wadi
#

i think if you just do it maliciously and copy like, pixel by and pixel, thats 100% theft... but i dont think you can really steal vibes or style as long as it's your own skill and theres at least a few aspects where its unique

yeah its just your own take on a thing

Vortex isn't recommended for Stardew Valley.

It's hard to troubleshoot and often causes issues like SMAPI/mods not being installed or updated correctly, files mysteriously disappearing, crashes, etc. Volunteers here often can't help with Vortex issues.

also seems i was incorrect about the config file not being created. it is just not where i was expecting it to.

just means figuring out events. since the documentation is. unhelpful at best for somebody who doesn't know what their looking at

where did you expect the config to go, bc if its not where you expected, that might literally be as a result of vorttex

can custom items be added?

trim sand

They'd have to reference it using your full mod ID as listed in the manifest (which is what the brackets method is reading anyway)

#

But otherwise yes.

half tangle
#

Yeah, so instead of {{ModId}}_pastelillos_de_guayaba, another mod author would write [your mod's actual unique ID]_pastelillos_de_guayaba

twin wadi

is it okay to change the author name in the manifest?

#

i mean id

#

modid

half tangle
#

once you have published your mod, no

lucid iron
#

ideally no but why

half tangle
#

I mean, you can, but then SMAPI won't know which mod it is to look for updates

lucid iron
#

no it goes by update key so its fine

rare orbit
#

so like this:
Blossom5280.Feliz_Cumpleanos_pastelillos_de_guayaba

Or

Feliz_Cumpleanos_pastelillos_de_guayaba

#

for the item id i mean

half tangle
#

oh, right, sorry... actually so other mods can reference yours

#

it's better practice to use your mod id in the name to be sure that it's unique among all mods - plus you get better Lookup Anything support

rare orbit

i'll try to use look up anything but the ui is hard to fully get

you can just hover your mouse over an item or NPC or whatever and press F1

(that's the basic functionality, anyway)

lucid iron

oh, true, I did see that in the update notes for LA

should i18n dialogue keys be unique from other mods? so like should i use {{ModId}} in the key name?

shoutout to the fellas last night who asked me why i was even loading assets from C# when I already had a content patcher component for the mod. that is exactly what the issue was and it wasnt until someone asked that i stopped to ask myself the same question. removing that asset load worked 😭 God I feel like an idiot every day I work on mods bro

it's often helpful to have some kind of indicator of which mod added it in case a player comes across a "no translation" line when they're playing in case it isn't obvious, but that's for debugging and error reporting rather than functionality

I can't get events to trigger inside AdventureGuild . I've checked whereami to make sure I have the map name correctly, and the events spawn when I have SVE installed. But when I only have base game, they don't register as events at all. I'm not getting any smapi errors

to explain further: if you set an EditData on an asset, but it doesn't already exist and nothing ever Loads it, your patch will not be applied (it must be loaded first).
you should also Load it with a blank json (just {}), then apply your edits with EditData as you were already doing

#

(there are other mods that add events there, so doing a non-exclusive Load and also an EditData allows you to coexist with them)

question: if one makes a custom portrait for an npc how do you call for it using CP in dialogue and stuff?

twin wadi

but i dont think itll work because im randomizing with range, not strings

check the examples and the docs because I suspect the Random token is versatile enough for what you're doing if I understand your use correctly

oh yeah i could just list the numbers

#

that's less simple than the range but it's simple enough 🙂

vernal crest
uncut viper
#

i dont believe you can pad the numbers, so ones with 0s in the front will only work up to 9

i.e. if you do {{Range: 1, 12}} then it might end up loading JortsCat.rain.0012 and not 012

you use the SwimmingChanged trigger action to set a mail flag, which is just using the vanilla AddMail action but with a flag id you made up (it doesnt need to actually exist in Data/mail). this is what the game does to track a lot of variables behind the scenes, by checking whether the player has received specific mails that may or may not have actual letters that go with them

#

you check for that mail flag with content patcher's HasFlag token for your patch that will change your stuff to use the swimming portraits/outfit

#

you need the PatchUpdate action bc otherwise Content Patcher won't update your tokens and patches until TimeChanged at the earliest, which may not be early enough for you

#

you would also then check for the same SwimmingChanged trigger but check if they arent swimming anymore, and if not, remove the mail flag

#

and then PatchUpdate again

ocean sailBOT
#
Creating Translation Capability

So you'd like to stop writing all of \"your strings straight in your content.json?\" and/or you'd like the capability to see all of your strings across all of your .jsons?
Introducing i18n!

  • How to make your mod compatible with other languages: stardewmodding.wiki.gg

  • The file where you can put all of your strings is called default.json, and it sits in a folder at the same level of your assets, named "i18n".

  • If you're converting from an older version of the game, there's a converter for ease-of-access.

Not to be confused with {{DynamicTokens}} since these require the specific {{i18n:<KEY>}} modifier

To use this command, type !i18n.

also, I have my assets png in the right place, and my load stuff in the content.json but when i try to call for the portrait in dialogue nothing happens

I am so desperately trying to make a trinket that at level 1 gives a 15% and at level 2 gives a 25% boosted chance to hatch a blue chick but would that be something that hooks into the player or does that need to somehow attatch to the incubator?

literally beat my head against my kitchen counter earlier

why would you do that

vs making blue chicken egg i mean

opaque field
#

I thought it would be a cute idea for this Shane mod I"m making, where when you start dating him he gives you an adorable lil trinket

lucid iron

well its kind of strange to have such a thing be a trinket cus you can unequip it

#

i feel like you want a power

#

on the other hand if you want a blue attacc chicken u can do that

opaque field
#

hm, yannow that's an idea... change it so he gifts you an egg that turns into a little buddy?

lucid iron
#

take a look at me framework docs

#

the issue with hatch is just that im pretty sure egg items and farm animal are 1 to 1

#

you would prob want the power to do something like

#

sometimes, a white or brown chicken can lay a blue egg

opaque field
#

maybe I was going about this wrong - maybe instead of breaking my brain to figure out the thing I want, maybe reevaluate the thing I want. Okay cool, thank you! I do already have some really cute plushies he gives you, maybe I could also have eggs that hatch with chicks that do stuff

lucid iron
#

and u can hatch that blue egg

#

trinket blue chicken buddy is standard usecase for trinket tinker so u can do that too if you want PecoWant

I have blue, pink, and watermelon colored chickens, could translate those to chicks easy enough :3

Hello guys, i'm new here.
I've made a mods about Crypto Trading Sim for the farmer of stardew valley, it only uses gold from Stardew Valley and no "REAL MONEY" used at all.
But yesterday i tried to upload it to nexusmods but then my account got banned and the mod was removed, the reason says :

"Upload of a crypto scam mod. - User submitted content may not be used to advertise other websites or services and may be removed at the discretion of staff"

This is the announcement link: https://forums.nexusmods.com/topic/13516743-arizoenna-banned/

I don't think this is crypto scam mod, it's just ordinary crypto trading simulator and its a mod for the game but for the advertise other websites, maybe i was to explicitely says i'm using Binance API!
My tendencies is not to advertise their website, it's just crediting whom API i was using..

What do you guys think? also I have contacted the support to request un-ban because I think it was just misunderstanding.

And also, i provide the mods below incase you guys wanna try it!
Thank you..

If I had to guess I'd agree that it's probably the combination of using real coin/exchange names and a bit of a reflex reaction to it. Definitely get in contact with them, I'd say!

And very much offer to use obviously fake coin names instead.

i did see it appear yesterday and then disappear and wondered if something like that had happened

I think some important context is that nexus have been having a malware problem these past few months, so I'm not surprised they're quick on the trigger, even if I think your account probably didn't deserve a ban for this. Just fyi though, they dislike the use of any internet APIs in mods unless you communicate with them first, apparently

About the opensource (as in public), maybe yes if i'm thinking of abandoning the maintenance of the mods.

So I just dug a little, and I have a pretty good guess as to why Nexus so quickly kicked this off the platform.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Net.Http;
using CryptoTrader.Models;
using StardewModdingAPI;

public ApiService(IMonitor monitor)
{
    TradingSymbols = new List<string> { "BTCUSDT", "ETHUSDT", "ADAUSDT", "DOTUSDT", "XLMUSDT", "LINKUSDT", "LTCUSDT", "BCHUSDT", "XRPUSDT", "BNBUSDT" };
    _cryptoApis = new(string, string, Func<string, string, CryptoPrice>)[3]
    {
        ("Binance", "https://api.binance.com/api/v3/ticker/price?symbol=", ParseBinanceResponse),
        ("CryptoCompare", "https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/price?fsym={CRYPTO}&tsyms=USDT", ParseCryptoCompareResponse),
        ("CoinGecko", "https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids={CRYPTO_ID}&vs_currencies=usd", ParseCoinGeckoResponse)
    };
    _bitcoinApis = new(string, string, Func<string, decimal?>)[5]
    {
        ("Binance", "https://api.binance.com/api/v3/ticker/price?symbol=BTCUSDT", ParseBinanceBitcoinResponse),
        ("CryptoCompare", "https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/price?fsym=BTC&tsyms=USD", ParseCryptoCompareBitcoinResponse),
        ("CoinGecko", "https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids=bitcoin&vs_currencies=usd", ParseCoinGeckoBitcoinResponse),
        ("BitcoinAverage", "https://apiv2.bitcoinaverage.com/indices/global/ticker/BTCUSD", ParseBitcoinAverageResponse),
        ("CoinDesk", "https://api.coindesk.com/v1/bpi/currentprice.json", ParseCoinDeskResponse)
    };
    LastUsedApiName = "None";
    base..ctor();
    _monitor = monitor;
    _httpClient = new HttpClient();
    _httpClient.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10.0);
    _httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("User-Agent", "StardewValley-CryptoTrader/2.0");
}

Using so many crypto exchange APIs is virtually guaranteed to be what spooked them. Let alone the fact that they don't allow network connections.

Unless you got specific permission from them for network access, they do not like that. You need explicit permission from them to do so. So that combined with using real crypto exchange APIs... I'd be stunned if it wasn't that.

Those do clearly just seem to be the ticker APIs to get public pricing and nothing else, but the network access + crypto APIs was probably the problem.

There is that exception, but when it's something that's such an absurdly common scam target and accesses real APIs... almost certainly the source of the rushed removal, even if it might be fine with a deeper look.

That would also probably not help. SDVkrobusgiggle

Hello me have a question!
is multi save confusing the smapi backup folder for anybody else?
so when i booped my laptop to IT. i lost the local copies of my saves. I though oh that's fine. steam will save it with it's cloud thingy.

for some reason steam didn't so i go into my smapi backups folder and it has stuff from spring 24 as it's latest save day even tho i was in winter.

#

would me suspecting multi save to be a accurate guess?

#

somehow after multi save finishes doing it's own backups. smapi decides it doesn't need to delete and replace it with a newer backup of the saves.

#

but becuase those backups are put inside of the save backup...it sort of just gets stuck.

gentle rose
hoary lake
#

Rolls in that direction slowly. perhaps reaching there in a few hours or days.

#

i thought i would ask in here first since it appears to be a multi save problem so i thought i would ask whether that would be a accurate guess.
plus i don't really see me being able to resolve the issue for me personally.

# leaden galleon Hello guys, i'm new here. I've made a mods about Crypto Trading Sim for the farm...

My advice is to use fake crypto-currencies (with the opportunity to give them funny SV related names) with RNG based price changes. A good example of this would be the trading mini-game in cookie-clicker.
Also about open-sourcing: it's strongly advised here not for other people to contribute, but for other people to see what's inside your mod to either fix compatibility issues (anyone who has a compat issue with your mod will be forever thankful if it's open-source), or simply see more easily that there's no malicious code in it.

Hey guys. I'm trying to make an animated, seasonal furniture FF mod for personal use, but the animation isn't working for some reason. The seasonal aspect works fine, but the animations don't show. Does anyone know what's wrong with the code? Here's my zip:

📎 FF_Mermaid_Fountain_2.0.zip
#

I tried to follow the templates for FF on github, but nothing works so far

woeful lintel
#

I'm taking a look

#

It's "Offset" instead of "Animation Offset". It used to be that before 3.0 but the word "Animation" is redundant now.

finally, some reply..
for the number 3. does it mean i still have a chance to publish my mod ?

lucid iron
#

Well you have to follow 1 and 2

crude plank
#

Yes, if you follow their rules and let them review the source before you publish, not after

lucid iron
#

Personally i think it would be fun to fake the stalk market parts yourself directly in the mod

crude plank
#

I agree it would be an interesting idea to have your own

lucid iron
#

Rebrand it as ferngill futures or something so that you don't need external API whatsoever

#

Nexus is mostly concerned about the external internet access

lucid mulch
#

actual economy mods with supply and demand economics would be fun

#

but a decoupled stock market from the rest of the game would just be a minigame

calm nebula
#

(This is why I want a futures market!)

#

says ex modder who won't be doing it

#

Also it won't be fun.

lucid mulch
#

having reasons to not over optimize for a starfruit wine production would be nice

#

but its hard to make a fun gameplay loop that isn't just punishing you

calm nebula
#

The design principles of my theoretical won't work on it for five+ years futures mod is "is it realistic? It's going in."

Hi everyone, is it possible to add an effect in an event that reduces the player's stamina?

calm nebula
lucid mulch
#

considering the amount of events that give alchahol poisoning and the enegry boost, should be possible to do the inverse

calm nebula
#

That's by forcing you to drink an item

#

I guess you could force the player to eat something poisonous

quartz harness
#

I just tried use fruit wine, and it did apply the dizziness effect. I also tried using sea cucumber, but my stamina wasn’t reduced.

lucid iron

If you pass out in an event do you pass out in real life

So I was wondering... If I want to do a major change of the data scheme for DDFC to be its own content pack framework instead of relying on aedenthorn's dictionary asset via CP, am I really continuing DDF anymore or is this its own mod? I've turned DDF into the ship of Theseus SDVpuffersweats

lucid iron
#

why

#

not why change format but why move away from custom asset

dusk terrace
#

Hmmm i suppose dictionary asset isn't completely off the table, but it would at least need a complete rework; instead of using NPC names as keys to hold all dialogue changes for the given NPC, it should be a dictionary of patches with conditions to determine which NPC it'll apply to

lucid iron
#

you can do it like how game does dialogue if you want

#

i never looked at DDF code but lets say you have an asset typed Dictionary<string, DDFData> at aedenthorn.DDF/Data

#

you can opt for DDFData at aedenthorn.DDF/Data/Abigail for example

#

as for general rework, i don't think it's bad to just change your mod's unique id and rebrand completely

#

including the part where you also change where the new asset's targets are

#

then you can still load the original asset, but transform it into the new system in the back and no longer have any special code just for old system

final arch
#

whats DDFC?

dusk terrace
#

It just feels a bit silly because a few authors started relying on DDF only after I continued it and added features and now I'd be abandoning it and those authors will have to rewrite their content packs to get bugfixes SDVpufferchicksweatsip

dusk terrace
lucid iron
#

u can provide a console command to do it too

#

n format it in a cp way

I made some custom NPCs as backdrop for an event, and when I went to bed they were working. Arguably, it was also 2 am, and it may have slipped by. Now, they're showing up in town, stacked at 24,67.

https://smapi.io/json/none/6b4ca3b56f994547ac16deae69529f3d

I'm not sure what's going on. I removed every mod except the ones I need for the mod itself. If I remove them from characters.json, I have to sleep through the night to get them off my screen. When I reload it with them in the json, they reappear after sleeping

lucid mulch
left nova
#

When loading them into Data/Characters, the game will treat them as real NPCs, and since Temp is not a real map, they will be default spawned at the center of the Town.

thank you, I'll try it! My custom goose npc behaves. I'm not sure why these are suddenly not

#

Can Modding only in .Net 6 ?

lucid iron
#

yes the game is on net 6 so you have to match

#

only need this though <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>

#

your dotnet install can be any version above

blissful panther
#

And ideally should be to access newer language features!

lucid iron
#

unclear

woeful lintel
#

gotta buy a funny domain and renew it with Nexus money. I think I'll give myself some time to think of what to put on it before buying it.

lucid iron
#

i havent found a usecase that github pages is not enough for Dokkan

most of the time i am just serving static webpage

blissful zodiac
#

Can use \n in string for chatBox?

lucid iron
#

i dunno, but if it doesnt work just call Game1.chatBox.addMessage twice

lucid mulch
#

Depending on usecase should use the send message APIs or whatever it is instead so it networks correctly in multiplayer, which networks as a translation key these days

i havent found anything more complicated than just static web page to host

woeful lintel
#

I could make a FF content validator

lucid iron
#

isnt that what the schema is for

blissful zodiac
#

if use lib or package in mod it will auto pack in build process?

lucid iron
#

you need to do normal C# things to include it in build (or not)

#

depends on what exactly it is

lucid mulch
#

Third party DLLs from nuget or otherwise need a separate project item iirc for modbuildconfig to ship it

idle lantern
#

I don't know what to do. The game is trying to load a file that isn't in my code. I've reinstalled my mods manually, and picked through the code to make sure I don't have an erroring NPC anywhere. Is there a cache somewhere that I'm missing?

# 
   "WinterStarGifts": [
        "72",
        "84",
        "SeaJelly"
      ],``` does this look correct when creating NPCCharacter Data?
lucid iron
#

WinterStarGifts is item spawn fields

cyan marsh
#

sooo ... yes?

lucid iron

it is incorrect

#

take a look at the unpacked data for this

it's the item ids mcthink

what am I supposed to put there then

my creation....

looks like winter star gifts use GenericSpawnItemDataWithCondition specifically

Coriel!!!!!!

#

Its been forever i see you typing

cyan marsh
woeful lintel
lucid iron
#

yea (O) makes it a qualified id

cyan marsh
#

okay.. so thus i need to add (O)

lucid iron
#

this means u can let ppl give (BC)12 keg instead of (O)12 emerald

cyan marsh
brittle pasture
#

was about to ask NPCs can gift you kegs right

cyan marsh
#

That reminds me.. I need to update my tool to account for this

#

so I don't need too much effort in making them

lucid iron
#

carp wine

brittle pasture
#

would weapons work even or would the game try to cast to Object and then explode

lucid iron
#

always

calm nebula
lucid iron
#

Utility.getGiftFromNPC returns an Item

golden basin
lucid iron
#

dont see why u cant give a sord

#

but anyways coriel my recommendation for simplicity is to use RandomItemId

# 
"WinterStarGifts": [
  {
    "Id": "Default_NPC_Creator",
    "RandomItemId": [
      "(O)72",
      "(O)84",
      "(O)SeaJelly"
    ]
  },
]
#

using other fields is Fun but prob beyond scope of ur tool

calm nebula
#

My newest NPC, Swod McMoneyBags, gives a prismatic sword every day

cyan marsh
#

So.. i need to change a few things in the NPCToolKit to accomodate this

#

i need to turn "Wild Horseradish": "16", to "Wild Horseradish": "(O)16",

# 
        public void ItemExtractor()
        {

            foreach (IItemDataDefinition itemType in ItemRegistry.ItemTypes)
            {
                foreach (string id in itemType.GetAllIds())
                {
                    Item item = ItemRegistry.Create(itemType.Identifier + id);
                    if (item.canBeGivenAsGift())
                    {
                        try
                        {
                            ItemList.TryAdd(item.DisplayName, id);
                        }
                        catch (Exception ex)
                        {
                            Monitor.Log($"{ex.Message}\nSkipping {item.DisplayName}", LogLevel.Warn);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            string path = Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, "ExtractedData", "ItemList.json");
            File.WriteAllText(path, JsonConvert.SerializeObject(ItemList, new JsonSerializerSettings { Formatting = Formatting.Indented, NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore }));
            Monitor.Log("ItemList saved!", LogLevel.Debug);
        }
``` this is my current way of getting them
lucid iron
#

use ALL_ITEMS query then

cyan marsh
#

<.< this is a bit different, I'm afraid

lucid iron
cyan marsh
#

this is a console command designed to get the IDs for a list needed for NPC Creator to work properly

lucid iron
#

actually better example

#

i dont see why you can't run this in a console command

cyan marsh
#

I see what you are doing here..

lucid iron
#

after the if (result.Item is not Item item) you can simply output item.QualifiedItemId

#

do w/e u want with that one

cyan marsh
#

I need to be able to separate this into different jsons.. is that possible?

lucid iron
#

like u want (F) to be in different json than (O)?

cyan marsh
#

yes.. it helps when making menus and lists

lucid iron
#

besides just doing it against the item.QualifiedItemId (its just a string) u can also do ALL_ITEMS (F) as the item query

#

if i was doing this i would prob be lazy and just filter by item.QualifiedItemId prefix kyuuchan_run

cyan marsh
#

i understand that.. but I need to have lists of valid gifts you can give NPCs as well as various tasks.. so keeping them separate is paramount

lucid iron
#

otoh if u dont want to sift through wallpaper u can just decide on a few category to to ALL_ITEMS on

#

just to be clear everything im describing is "do within the export command" here

#

you are both the producer and consumer of data so it is just up to you to dump what you want

cyan marsh
#

yeah.. but i have difficulty messing with things i've never played with.. soo I am aware I can be very inquisitive when I seek to understand it. As sample code for what I am doing tends to not be common.. who puts the effort in making an NPC creation tool? xD

lucid iron
#

the sample code you need is not "npc creation tool" but "fetch info about items in an ordinary SMAPI mod"

#

my mod has nothing to do with npcs (its about machines) but i do need to know about all the items in the game

#

lookup anything's dataparser helpers are very nice for this too, i reference it when my mod needs something that i have seen lookup anything show me

quartz harness
cyan marsh
#

you IQContext refers to what

# 
            foreach (ItemQueryResult itemcheck in ItemQueryResolver.TryResolve(ALL_ITEMS (O),  ))
``` I need to understand the last part
lucid iron
#

internal static ItemQueryContext IQContext => new();

#

normally this is used to pass some context info like location and the random used

#

i dont have that info so constructing the default one is sufficient

#

ALL_ITEMS is a const string btw (equal to "ALL_ITEMS")

#

you would want "ALL_ITEMS (O)"

quartz harness
cyan marsh
#

trying to figure this out DX

#

it says ALL_ITEMS don't exist in the current Context...

#

DX I am getting a headache

blissful zodiac
#

i think my mod it done. it don't test get chat but i test Authorization and it work. i think getChat it will work.

image.png
lucid iron
cyan marsh
#

mcsrs I read your statement wrong

#

foreach (ItemQueryResult itemcheck in ItemQueryResolver.TryResolve("ALL_ITEMS (O)", query )) so that will work?

lucid iron
#

if query is a ItemQueryContext then yea it should

cyan marsh
#

ItemQueryContext query = new ItemQueryContext();

#

so the next challenge is trying to set a dictionary with this result Item name: Id

lucid iron
#

you sure you don't want it the other way around?

#

qualified item id -> display name

cyan marsh
#

My code already is set to go if key then display value

lucid iron
#

localization tho

#

and also ppl just having 2 items named the same

#

qualified item id is guarenteed to be unique

cyan marsh
#

hmm.. i haven't bumped into that issue

#

mostly because I dont have modded items in my game

lucid iron
#

item.DisplayName will give localized name

brittle pasture
#

and most mods set the Name field the same as the item ID for simplicity

cyan marsh
#

not really seeing that.. since, again, never messed with modded items

brittle pasture
#

even then, Name for vanilla items is unlocalized so you'll always get the English name

#

(it's definitely confusing since Name is an artifact from 1.5 back when item IDs can only be ints, and Name acted as a pseudo-string-identifier)

cyan marsh
#

<.< literally the way I know it works is 1.5

#

but with all these changes, I need to learn the new way x3

#

from what I'm being told, I need to generate my lists with (x)Id: Name

calm nebula
#

There are two items in base game named Egg

#

And many named Stone

cyan marsh
#

my old code got rid of duplicates.. so making new code on something like this is a bit frustrating

#

i've been at it for 4 hours... i need a break DX

you can turn a config into a dynamic token just by wrapping double brackets around it, right? you dont need to separately set it up in the dynamic tokens section of the content.json?

you can use a {{Config}} token inside the value of a dynamic token, but not vice versa, and if its in the value of the dynamic token then the value of that {{Dynamic}} token will include the value of the config

i dont know enough about schedule strings to help. however its hard for anyone to help if you dont post jsons/logs

hey, is this where you can ask questions about creating mods and maybe get some help? I wanted to upload a new NPC to the game in my mod and I have no idea why my NPC doesn't appears in the gameSDVpufferwaaah

uncut viper
#

this is indeed the place

#

however be prepared to provide a json at minimum with the relevant data, and a log if theres any errors in your console

#

!json

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.

(you upload your jsons and logs on smapi.io, the json link is in that governor command)

It will be helpful because the logs indicate what assets get edited

and json errors are not always about syntax

that seems hard (for someone whose first language isn't English) but thanks for directing me

Creating a Custom NPC

Keep in mind that making NPCs is a complex process that requires learning many different aspects of Stardew modding.
Here are a few links that can help get you started on all that you need to know:

I'm doing a small edit to a fish pond that absolutely goes against God's grand design, but I'm running into an error. I'm simply trying to make it so that Tiger Trout can reproduce in fish ponds (I know, they can't in real life, but this isn't real life), but when I do and check if my patch works, I get the error "the field 'TigerTrout' > 'SpawnTime' has type 'System.Int32', which isn't recognized by Content Patcher". I thought I understood how to change a field after reading Content Patcher's github a bit, but I don't know what it means here. Can someone nudge me in the right direction so I can make some fish know the joys of having children?

Can u do patch export <your map> and then send that tmx here

Love the name

golden basin

I recently changed the name its all been updated

#

its _plants now cause there was a weird yellow text about it

#

heres a question can changing the season and sleepin mess up the season changes for tilesheets?

lucid iron
#

nay

golden basin
#

okay then ive nno idea

#

its not even doing it the old way either with the seasonal token

lucid iron
#

me neither Thqnkqng

golden basin
#

its almost like my map is stuck in spring

#

wait.....i think i see the issue

#

nope not it

urban patrol
#

correct me if i'm wrong, but don't you not need to load tilesheets, just .tmx files?

golden basin
#

I use tbins

urban patrol
#

ah then never mind me

final arch
#

why do you use tbins?

golden basin
#

its just what i was taught to use

iron ridge
#

tbins are worse, and it's 4 characters to change

golden basin
#

whats wrong with tbins?

lucid iron
#

well its harder to debug

golden basin
#

i fixed it

iron ridge
#

they have less features

lucid iron
#

if you had tmx u could read the xml to see what the texture is named

golden basin
#

it was the texture at all

#

wasnt*

lucid iron
#

i dont think there's anything broken about tbin though, and if someone told me mr ape also still use tbins i would not be surprised

golden basin
#

I needed a outdoors property, i didnt know indoors cant be seasonal i thought it coudl be tho

#

he uses tmx

lucid iron
#

oh yea i didnt know this was a indoor map

#

u can use TreatAsOutdoors instead of the full Outdoors map prop

golden basin
#

With Tbins I just like, its what i was taught from the get go

final arch
#

yeah seasonals dont work indoors/desert

#

hehee yes

#

is Tbins like a older method?

tbins are older yes

hence why tmxloader was needed, there wasn't native tmx support initially

Hello guy, i don't know how to convert draw position on spriteBatch.Draw(drawPos)
convert to world position

gentle rose
#

this would be outside of any menus, right? not in the world map or anything

frosty hull
#

such as Character drawing

#

Object, Furniture or something

#

currently i can clone sprite batch drawing into unity

#

but position game object is not correct, i need to fix them

gentle rose
#

oh, this is for the VR thing, right?

frosty hull
#

#

here, old picture

#

so the draw position is relative to the viewport

#

and the viewport has a X and Y itself

#

take a look at Game1.GlobalToLocal

frosty hull
#

oh yes, i will check it

#

and Game1.viewport x | y it's World Pos?

presumably you need login + no API so you need to scrape manually, which is a good way to get said login banned

naver isn't centralised in the same way nexus/moddrop is

#

most naver mods are on the equivalent of github pages

gentle rose

and it's partially on purpose - they have a choice to put the mods on the accessible part of naver (and some do), but many don't, which is up to them

# golden basin is Tbins like a older method?

.tbin is the binary variant of the tIDE format which is the native map format for xna / stardew.
There is also .tide which is the XML equivalent which is so rare smapi doesn't actually support mods loading it.

TMX is the format for the tiled editor which is more mod author and git/version control friendly.
But as it's not native it requires being parsed as a TMXMap first and then transformed into a native map, which is a decently expensive process

golden basin
#

hm can i stick with tbin XD

lucid mulch
#

Sure, though tiled won't save the tile rotation/flip metadata (in a way smapi understands) when saving to tbin, and as it's a binary file if used in an open source repo it won't show changes well

golden basin
#

i never use those features

lucid mulch
#

I do have a mod that's still semi experimental that intercepts all tmx loads and saves them as a tbin for future loads

This is a question. I’m thinking of making a mod to add crops, does it matter if it’s already in game/already done before? I’m thinking it needs to be entirely unique-

!twocakes

ocean sailBOT
#

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

To use this command, type !twocakes.

I'm having an issue getting custom cutscenes to trigger with my first mod. It is similar to an issue that was posted here last night. I am trying to add a cutscene that happens with Sebastian when the player enters the mountain. Right now I have it really simple just to try and get it to work. My mod has an assets/blank.json . This is what my content.json looks like im sure i am doing something wrong: ```{
"Format": "2.6.0",
"Changes": [
{
"Action": "Load",
"Target": "Data/Events/Mountain",
"FromFile": "assets/blank.json",
"Priority": "Low"
},

{
     "Action": "EditData",
     "Target": "Data/Events/Mountain",
     "Entries":{
    "0601202500/f Sebastian 1250/t 0600 2300": "speak Sebastian \"Hey @, the cut scene is working!\"/end"
     }
}

]
}```
When I debug in smapi it recognizes the event but nothing triggers. Any help is appreciated!

also if a machine has "OutputMethod": "StardewValley.Object, Stardew Valley: OutputSolarPanel", does it bypass the normal outputmachine entirely?
