[pseudo vault]

Thanks, but I might be back for more questions which might be obvious to others...

[brave fable]

if it weren't obvious to us, we wouldn't be able to tell you the answers hahah

questions are always welcome ☀️

[drowsy minnow]

now that this is figured out is there anything else i gotta do in order to get it to drop the way geodes do?

like- for the thing itself to drop from mining rocks

[formal crown]

If there's anyone with some splitscreen experience, are there any rules of thumb I should follow? I know PerScreen<T> exists but I'm not %100 sure what is its exact purpose

[proud wyvern]

it holds values per screen, as its name implies

in single player, it holds a single value

in splitscreen, it holds one per each screen

and its current .Value automatically switches to the one corresponding the current screen

[formal crown]

I understand that, but what do I need this for?

[proud wyvern]

basically, in splitscreen, every frame, Stardew switches tons of variables around to the values for the first screen, runs the whole frame for that; then switches to the next screen, runs the whole frame for that; etc

and PerScreen acts as if it was also switched along with these other variables

as for what do you need it for - it depends

anything that's tied to the player or their screen in any way should use PerScreen

like, something tied to their inventory, stats, UI

but you wouldn't use PerScreen for, say, your mod's caches

or anything tied to the world itself

[formal crown]

Is there anything else I'd have to follow?

I have some bug reports pointing at VPP being unable to handle the second player properly while running commands or interacting with menus

[proud wyvern]

i'm looking at VPP's bugs tab, it seems the menu interaction reports are related to controllers instead?

[formal crown]

I've got one or two splitscreen ones too

[formal crown]

(Ignore the ones about talent menu being wonky, I had solved that)

There's another that mentions commands

[proud wyvern]

these two seem to be related and a controller issue instead

[formal crown]

Check third page, "Some Talent options are very difficult or impossible to select using a controller."

They mention the commands issue there

[proud wyvern]

i'm looking at https://github.com/KediDili/VanillaPlusProfessions/blob/main/C%2523 Code/Talents/UI/TalentSelectionMenu.cs

uh

[formal crown]

Yeah, its not the cleanest menu ever 😅

[proud wyvern]

did Discord remove the option to disable embeds for a link if the link is put in < >

[formal crown]

Iirc no

[proud wyvern]

https://github.com/KediDili/VanillaPlusProfessions/blob/main/C%2523 Code/Talents/UI/TalentSelectionMenu.cs

huh it just doesn't like that specific link at all

something's up with this folder name

[formal crown]

Try without the <>?

[brave fable]

(it's the % symbols)

[proud wyvern]

aaaanyway

i see you have some static variables here, which probably shouldn't be static

as they are, two TalentSelectionMenus presented at once (which is possible in splitscreen) will badly interact with each other

[formal crown]

scribbles notes

[proud wyvern]

the menu itself doesn't need any PerScreen variables, since each player gets a separate menu instance anyway

[formal crown]

I see

(Was gonna ask a question, found the answer myself)

[thorny tiger]

still looking for a way to make a prop furnace active in an event using the built in machine pulsing so that I don't have to draw all the pulsing steps as frames if anyone knows how

best I could come up with is to give the player a smeltable and a coal and force interact them with the furnace but that only works if their hotbar slot is the first empty slot in their hotbar

[brave fable]

i would've suggested the temporaryAnimatedSprite event command, but unfortunately that can't set the pulse parameter that would do exactly what you need

[formal crown]

I remember why did I make those fields static, for easier use

(And believed they werent supposed to be different between menu instances anyway)

Should the XPos and YPos not have static keyword too?

[proud wyvern]

yeah i'd remove static from them

unfortunately static is a convenience that more often than not will come back and bite you later

[brave fable]

visual studio will oft softly whisper VCR003 Function can be made static. you must not listen

or like, disable the suggestion in the editor. you should generally be very selective over making variables static, and understand when it's appropriate more than when it's inappropriate

[thorny tiger]

this is the only way I've found so far but I'd need to manually remake the pulse as a new animation for the specific bigcraftable

not super ideal

[formal crown]

Alright, none of the UI classes have static fields anymore

Unfortunately I have to leave for my last endterm, but will come back

[brave fable]

on the other hand, i just use PerScreen as an outlet for my laziness

namespace FunnyMod;
public class ModEntry : Mod
{
    public class ModState
    {
        public float FunnyNumber;
    }

    public static PerScreen<ModState> State { get; private set; }

    public override void Entry(IModHelper helper)
    {
        ModEntry.State = new PerScreen<ModState>(() => new());
    }
}

[formal crown]

Ping and lmk if you have any other suggestions

[calm nebula]

PerScreen is a fancy wrapper for Dictionary<int, MyFunClass>

That is indexed by the screen number

And auto removes for dead screens

[steel plaza]

can't seem to find it, sorry am blind

[lucid mulch]

Content patcher pretty much has everything inside one giant PerScreen

[lucid mulch]

I would attempt to avoid the whispers of static but most of what I do has harmony in its core, which has a hard requirement of being static, and don't particularly care about the difference between a singleton and static

[calm nebula]

Please, static PerScreen<ConditonalWeakTable...>

I didn't have it a moment ago. Now it seems I have the authority. I apologize.

[vernal crest]

That's ok! Discord can be funny sometimes.

[hard fern]

🤔 is there a way to put fruit trees on maps (like a functional one that changes with the season)

[flat sluice]

Maybe somewhere here?
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Maps#Plants.2C_forage.2C_.26_item_spawning

[hard fern]

ill take a look

[vernal crest]

IIRC the answer is yes and then players chop them down and steal them lol

[calm nebula]

Unless you make c# over it

A trick is to make a fake fruit tree entry with a "sapling" that is some random object

And put that instead so if players try to steal they just get...trash or smth

[blissful panther]

*coughs in link*

https://github.com/AlanDavison/StardewValleyMods/blob/master/MappingExtensionsAndExtraProperties/docs/non-map-properties.md#Making-trees-invulnerable

But it is only on a per tree type basis.

[calm nebula]

There is also a tile property in VWV/ES and I'll match that in SMD

Dh, looking at the 1.6.16 monster data I've been wondering if I should do a spawn system for smd

[blissful panther]

That's definitely something a lot of people want.

[calm nebula]

It would be the third spawn system

[mortal goblet]

Hello everyone. How can I make a map that don't have day and night cycle?

[lucid iron]

Heeeey dh u should make crop spawning happen

[blissful panther]

I do need an excuse to add a new feature to fully test the GitHub runner mod building...

[calm nebula]

I'm not sure what you mean

Can you please elaborate

[tiny zealot]

honestly i would appreciate a spawn system that isn't called "farm type manager", a wildly inappropriate name for its actual purpose /lh

[thorny tiger]

i kinda want to add a fruit tree somewhere that exists purely for the purpose of trolling the player with a modded trash item with a description laughing at them if they chop it down

[calm nebula]

It's named "slightly more dehardcoding" instead

I'm kiddding

[lucid iron]

Mmap has features to set day/night timings

[hard fern]

😔 people stealing my fruit trees... so sad

[gaunt orbit]

The link that's in the message you just replied to? The github link?

[lucid mulch]

I might look into using it for the debugger mod, which would benefit from the verified builds as it would violate multiple of the theoretical mod safety stuff

[hard fern]

seriously kale... lol.

i feel like i should add more water...

[gaunt orbit]

That looks really cool so far

I think what would make a nice background would actually be some kind of cloud tileset

You could have a sky, then, but avoid the weirdness of transitioning water to sky

[royal stump]

I'm still tempted to do something like Spawn Anything Framework (SAF) (formerly Farm Type Manager (FTM))
also I've now learned that nexus titles cap at 255 characters

[hard fern]

hmm 🤔 dont know if anything like that exists in vanilla

[rose folio]

Heya, wanted to ask if HUDMessageType.QuestComplete even exists, as i constantly get this error:
'HUDMessageType' does not exist in the current context

[royal stump]

HUDMessageType * never existed in the base game, at least

[hard fern]

i could also extend the leaves and hide the water edge that way

[royal stump]

could be an enum used by a specific mod or some such, if you're referencing something

[toxic gazelle]

Hey, is there any way I can see the hair I have made for my npc on the game without having to make the whole npc (I am still working on it) or what do I do?

[tiny zealot]

i (and perhaps i alone) would actually appreciate this

[vernal crest]

If this is your hair that you were asking for feedback about in mma, edit it onto a vanilla sprite and then load that vanilla sprite over the NPC's existing one in game. https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/action-load.md

[devout otter]

Hmm, you can try editing vanilla villagers with it, maybe?

[royal stump]

I'll actually think about it for this next update, if I ever manage to finish
though I should consider bugging pathos for UniqueID aliasing too
(even aside from name switches, a lot of 1.6 features make me regret not using Esca.FTM)

[dusky marsh]

is there a way to use smapi for developers and only see the mod you are editing traces?

[vernal crest]

You can specify which mods you want verbose logging for in the config but I don't know if that affects the console or just the log output

[rose folio]

hm. alright. thx

[dusky marsh]

where?

[calm nebula]

It does what

[calm nebula]

Not really no

The traditional way to get around this is to have compiler flags

[vernal crest]

In the config.json in the smapi-internal folder

[calm nebula]

If you look at my repo for example, I have significantly more logging on when it's compiled debug

[vernal crest]

But listen to Atra, they know more

[formal crown]

I'm back in the valley

So, is there anyhting else to keep in mind for splitscreen? (other than less-statics and more PerScreen<T>s?)

[royal stump]

if you use 256 or more characters in Mod Name, it just shows the spinning gear symbol forever on save
and also, if you try to delete a 255-char mod, it does that too I had to rename it again

[dusky marsh]

prob gonna go back to normal smapi then, i have so many mods that any action i make theres a thousand traces

[royal stump]

there's a tooltip on save about not using invalid characters, but nothing actually displayed about character limits

[toxic gazelle]

Yep that's the one! Thanks!

[royal stump]

you may want to check for host-only for any actions that affect net fields, e.g. don't try to create an already synced class once per player
but that's pretty much it

[tiny zealot]

when i need to make it easier to see my logs, i just have them use LogLevel.Warn instead, so they come out yellow, which is usually enough to make them highly noticeable

(please don't @ me, obviously i don't leave that in the release builds)

[formal crown]

Wouldn't that be for multiplayer in general and not just splitscreen? (not that I'm complaining)

[calm nebula]

No that is literally my trick too, ichor, I just use compiler flags to disable those for release versions

[royal stump]

there's also LogLevel.Alert for neon purple that nothing but SMAPI ever uses in production, as far as I've seen (nor should they)

[royal stump]

true, there's not really a difference there* if you're already accounting for mp

[formal crown]

But I probably should do that more, I have so many assignments to NetSomething.Value fields

[calm nebula]

No that's probably fine

Tbh splitscreen is literally two copies of the game

Also just fyi the input state tracking is nicely split so things go well there

[formal crown]

#images-and-memes

[tiny zealot]

(the spambots are busy again, i suspect)

[hard fern]

🤔 sigh now how am i going to make a sky backrgounr....

[rustic sapphire]

could someone pls explain how to use this mod?
i don't understand what the author is saying at all
my previous experience using mods is just editing the config.json file, but this mod doesn't even create one
so i don't even know how to start here
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/14767?tab=description

[hard fern]

sigh. my map making progress for the day. i dont wanna look at it anymore my eyes burn

[vernal crest]

This is what is called a framework mod. It doesn't do anything on its own. You have to make a mod that uses this mod. Have a look at the "Mods requiring this mod" list in the requirements tab to see some examples of mods using it.

[rustic sapphire]

i dont see a "mods requiring this mod" tab?

[brittle pasture]

it's a collapsible in the main description

[blissful panther]

It's counter-intuitively under the requirements drop-down.

[vernal crest]

My screenshot is on mobile but hopefully it helps. This is on the main description page.

[rustic sapphire]

ohh thanks
i wish ctrl+F searched under collapsed stuff too

[vernal crest]

Darn, it is "file" not "mod". I wrote that at first instead but then I thought that's silly, most mods consist of more than one file.

[rustic sapphire]

which mods in that list should i take a look at for good examples?

i want more control over the game's original music, such as what track plays where and when
note that I'm not looking to add extra music

[vernal crest]

Not a clue, sorry. I've never heard of Sound Tweaker until just now. Try looking through the mod descriptions and pick some that seem closest to what you want to do.

[rustic sapphire]

ok thanks

[vernal crest]

And now I should skeep

[dusky marsh]

Im storing the player current item in machines like kegs or furnaces in modData using onButtonPressed and checking the tile it is clicked on, it works fine but depending on if you use controller or mouse, the tile detection changes and also may does not work 100% of the time
Is there another way to do this im not thinking? Maybe the machine already stores the item that was put on it?

[gaunt orbit]

it does

heldObject IIRC

[dusky marsh]

this is just the item that it will come as output

not the input

[gaunt orbit]

ah yeah the input item never actually goes into the machine

the game converts it to the output instantly and then stores the output

it's not like minecraft where you have inventory slots. machine processing is fake

[tiny zealot]

depending on what you need, there may be a cursed way to parse the machine data and work backwards to derive what the input was (you probably shouldn't do this)

[dusky marsh]

i guess i could use harmony but i think i will keep it like this

[gaunt orbit]

you could harmony prefix/postfix objectDropInAction

[tiny zealot]

i also usually recommend harmony for things like this, where doing smapi events requires you to reimplement a bunch of stuff that you can neatly avoid by patching a function instead

[brittle pasture]

machine has lastInputItem

note that its stack count will be the same as the stack count of the item in the player's hand, not the count that was consumed by the machine itself

ie. if the player holds 999 apples and put one into the keg, lastInputItem will be 999 apples

thankfully machines also have lastOutputRuleId, so you can use that and figure out the stack count

[dusky marsh]

i think thats good enough, i can check the trigger rules

thanks

[brittle pasture]

(see above, it does, kinda)

(another caveat is that it doesn't store the fuel, not sure if you care about that)

[dusky marsh]

no i dont

[gaunt orbit]

does anyone know offhand if there's any ui recolors that have HHD support?

[round timber]

Lavender Dreams does

[gaunt orbit]

I'm fiddling with the menu texture and I want to avoid breaking recolors, so I'm doing some research to see how best to handle it

[pseudo vault]

I've started something else which will be hell to do. Wonder if someone can guess what this is.

[gaunt orbit]

alright lavender dreams at least is sing edit instead of load

I think what I'm going to do is extend the sheet, even though it leaves some unused space, that way un-updated recolors fall back to the default sprites instead of showing as invisible

I am gonna have to change it to an exclusive load, though, to enforce editing instead of loading

[lucid iron]

Wren is it feasible to separate the button bg from the button icon you think?

Ideally if u can find an empty button thing to use

[dusk terrace]

would that affect DDFC?

[lucid iron]

Doubtful it's hhd's ui

[gaunt orbit]

I could do that, but it would complicate the ui handling, and I'd still need to recolor the icons anyways

ddfc?

[lucid iron]

Dialogue display framework continued

[dusk terrace]

oh, HHD is it's own mod?

[gaunt orbit]

yes

[lucid iron]

Happy home designer

[dusk terrace]

ahhhh

[lucid iron]

I'm not sure what u thought it stood for

[gaunt orbit]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/19675

[dusk terrace]

like HD lmao

[lucid iron]

when vinilla was doing lavender dreams update i went and read hdd source to find the editimage targets

Is that listed somewhere more convenient

[brittle pasture]

a wiki page for know UI recolors could be cool, let ppl know what they may need to deal with when adding new UI elements

[round timber]

ive thought about making that before but alas i am easily distracted

or do you mean a page for C# modders

[lucid iron]

Well this wouldn't even work when c# mods don't load their texture

[brittle pasture]

could be both sides - ui recolors vs mods that add new ui

[brittle pasture]

lots and lots of work though I agree

[gaunt orbit]

yes! there's a nexus article called "Information for Modders" that lists all the asset ids

[lucid iron]

So if u back read from here, only a few of them are doing proper loads

[dusk terrace]

a bit late but um... what does "two caked" mean? lol

[lucid iron]

And hm ig i never had to check hhd thanks to that good job wren

[round timber]

!twocakes

[ocean sail]

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.

[floral stratus]

Do you have the link?

[dusk terrace]

ohhh okay... what mod is like DDF though?

[lucid iron]

I thought aedenthorn is updating ddf

And u r rebranding ddfc

[gaunt orbit]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/articles/2126

it's linked in the mod description and also the pinned comment

[floral stratus]

Oh, thank you

Sorry

[dusk terrace]

idk if aedenthorn has any plans to bring DDF back up to speed with 1.6...

[valid folio]

I finally got my accessibility mod to work! I no longer have to guess where the fish is when I’m fishing—I can see it perfectly now. Fishing has never been this easy hahaha.

What was the problem?
Turns out some mods overwrite the entire cursors.png file, which ended up overriding my changes, even though I was only editing a very specific area.
I fixed it by giving my patch a low load priority, meaning it's now the last mod to edit the cursors.png file. I hope this doesn’t cause any issues, but it does make me think: mods that replace the whole cursors.png might be unintentionally breaking other mods too, not just mine.

[tiny zealot]

any mod replacing the entirety of cursors.png is asking for compat problems, yeah

it's broadly true for any asset, but cursors is famous for having a million unrelated things in it, so it's the most troublesome

[lucid iron]

Yeah i think one ui mod (wood colored something?) does that

consequence is that ppl's shipping bin mods don't work

[formal crown]

They break just visually, yeah?

[valid folio]

Yes, totally. I think some modders replace the entire file just to avoid making separate patches for each thing they want to change. On one hand, I get it—but on the other hand, I think they’re unintentionally (or at least I hope it’s unintentional) making things harder for other modders.

As for me, I’ll go ahead and upload the mod. If it helps me, it might help others too.
That said, I’ll include an explanation on how to change the color of the bar in case red doesn’t work for someone, since visual disabilities vary a lot from person to person.

I also wonder if it would be possible to make the color of the bar configurable through GMCM, with options like red, black, yellow, purple, etc. That way, people who don’t find red useful wouldn’t have to manually edit the mod.

What do you think? Is that viable or possible?

[valid folio]

No idea.

[unreal spoke]

It’s just a CP patch targeting the part of Cursors that has the fishing minigame UI, right? In that case, a config would be both possible and pretty easy.

(You would have to make a few different color versions yourself, though. Don’t think there’s a way around that.)

[valid folio]

I wouldn’t mind making color variants; it’s just a small 9x9 px square. What I’m not sure about is which colors might be useful. I could mention in my mod description that people can suggest in the comments which colors work best for them.
I hope my mod will be useful for many people. I haven’t decided on a name yet, since English isn’t my native language.

[full bear]

I wonder how easy it would be to make a mod which makes holding down the action key always swing your tools at the optimal speed?

I'm sick of tapping left click or c all the time, and holding it down is pretty slow

[round timber]

is something like Fast Animations what youre thinking of?

[dusk terrace]

anybody know on top of their head which event file has Emily's dream scene?

[hard fern]

Should be the one in her house (Haley's technically)

So HaleyHouse i guess. If it's not that exactly it should be something similar

[dusk terrace]

ahh I think I found it, thank you!

I didn't know you could change the scene like that

[calm nebula]

A lot of the fancier events are c#

[dusk terrace]

the possibility of even more spaghetti code for dialogue box sounds scary

also. now that I'm looking at the scene, I completely forgot it actually starts in Emily's house lol

[full bear]

not necessarily faster animations, but making holding down the use button more optimal

ex: holding left click with a pickaxe is slower than clicking at the right time

[formal crown]

[round timber]

i think that mod does what youre describing but youd have to check it out for yourself to be sure.

[full bear]

I'll check it out, thanks!

I believe from checking the page that it only affects the speed of each animation

and not really the frequency of how often they trigger if you hold left click

[round timber]

ok i dont think im able to articulate this properly but like, it wont hurt to just try it

like in your game

but if you dont want to or dont think it does what you want, then sure

[floral stratus]

If my mod makes references to things in SVE, RSV, SBV, etc, is it okay to do so without having those mods installed, or should the reference only be made when you have the mod?
(Such as: "oh, I've been to Mineral Town, that's near Pelican Town, right?")

[uncut viper]

its not against any rules or anything, but if a player doesnt have one of those mods installed, its probably because they dont want it, and probably dont want it being referenced in their game (unless maybe its like a tongue in cheek sorta easter egg)

(but ymmv even if it is a tongue in cheek sorta easter egg, so id personally err on the side of "dont")

[floral stratus]

Heard

Just as easy to include a "only if mod installed" requirement to that text

[latent mauve]

I actually did something like that for my Useable Community Center mod when I added new features that required an extra dependency-- if you have the dependency, the feature works, and if you don't, you instead get a TileData message telling you that you need the dependency to use the feature.

HasMod patches are great ❤️

[floral stratus]

I'm thinking 2 letters a month from your penpal, + an extra if there's a life event (wedding, childbirth) + an extra if you have other expansions.

Is 2, with a possibility of 4, too many each month?

I don't want the player to feel like it's too much.

[round timber]

if the main point of the mod is to have a penpal, that seems appropriate

[floral stratus]

Okay, thanks. I hope this turns out well

[round timber]

good luck!

[calm nebula]

(Fwiw, for spam mail, I made this a toggle)

That seems like a reasonable amount to me, personally

But people play saves for wildly different amounts of time

[uncut viper]

2-4 a month also seems fine to me. itd only be too much if a user had like, a lot of mods sending a lot of mail and getting mail fatigue, but thats neither something you can nor should try to account for

[formal crown]

Like 1 in-game season and 2 in-game seasons?

[dusky marsh]

left is a furnace working normally, middle is a furnace that i removed its items by doing this:

machine.heldObject.Value = null;
machine.MinutesUntilReady = 0;
machine.readyForHarvest.Value = false; 

the middle furnace acts just like a empty furnace (my objective) but it still keeps this red sprite, although its not animated
is there a way to fix that?

[calm nebula]

You have to call a method that's like reset parent sheet index or smth

Smth like that

[golden basin]

@lucid iron when you get the chance I would love to talk to you about a idea i have

[formal crown]

machine.showNextIndex.Value = false;
machine.ResetParentSheetIndex();

Probably add these too

[dusky marsh]

this worked, thanks

[formal crown]

Your code so far says:
"You will have no output item, you have 0 minutes left to be ready, you aren't ready to harvest" but nothing for the sprites

[pine elbow]

hi

[floral stratus]

Yello

[round timber]

[floral stratus]

I wish I had enough talent to revive a mod I loved, but the creator said they're probably never coming back to. But the only person I see doing it justice would be the creator of Wren the Plumber.

[round timber]

what mod?

[tame surge]

is it just out of date?

[floral stratus]

Doctor Hazel by Systemworks

[pine elbow]

crusing through my coding class btw

[floral stratus]

Yeah, out of date and probably missing a few new sprites/portraits.

[hard fern]

Oh, is that a harvey genderswap

[floral stratus]

Sort of. More Dr. Harvey, but trans

[whole raptor]

I'd love to see more solo NPC genderswaps, like... focus on just one character and make it as mod compatible as possible

[hard fern]

I don't think it would be too hard to update 🤔 sprites and portraits aside

How old is the mod itself?

[floral stratus]

1.5 I believe

[round timber]

last updated 2021

[hard fern]

At least it's not like. Super old

[whole raptor]

... why does it have a CP mod labeled as a framework in the requirements?

[round timber]

huh?

[whole raptor]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5615

[round timber]

guess they just werent aware of the naming convention?

[calm nebula]

It's also five years ago

Things have changed

Anyways. Let's make a mod that is like. Better Woodchippers Redux, Continued, The Framework. Core

[idle lantern]

hooray! I finally got Fancy Zones working!

[iron ridge]

is tha the powertoys thing

oh it is

very fancy

[pine elbow]

i need to learn alot about sprites

[idle lantern]

yes!

Now that I finally finished the npc I was making, and don't need all my windows open, I got it working

[dusk terrace]

Is there a way to tell in C# if the client is for Android or PC? I guess it'd be possible checking for missing methods but that doesn't sound ideal

[calm nebula]

Yes, it's in Context

Iirc

Smapi utilities

[dusk terrace]

Neat, thanks

[lucid iron]

What is thou desire

Is it the show book thing u wanted?

[golden basin]

no its like im wanting my movoraptors to attack the player like the slimes do when you raise them and then they like stop when you get a ring like the slimes do too?

[lucid iron]

Oh what kind of entity is the movoraptor?

Farm animal?

[proper mantle]

Hello! I was looking for help on creating a mod to add an npc for a character I like, although I have 0 modding experience whatsoever

[calm nebula]

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:

• Tiakall has a great tutorial on making a custom NPC for 1.6.

• NPCs no longer use dispositions, check the wiki page for the new NPC data.

• Aviroen has put together a template that will allow you to easily create a romanceable NPC.

• Feel free to jump into the https://discord.com/channels/137344473976799233/1277457201077813280 thread for more interactive feedback and help!

• Fireredlily has a WIP NPC Builder Please do report any errors you get with it into the NPC thread!

To use this command, type !npc.

[calm nebula]

Hi! Where are you in the process?

[proper mantle]

I have 0 prep or knowledge, I just got the idea to make it myself about 5 minutes ago when someone else in the server recommended I do it since no one else had made what I wanted

[gentle rose]

nice! what are you thinking of doing right now? just one regular NPC?

[proper mantle]

Yeah, do you know the show arcane?

I want to do violet

[lucid iron]

Assuming they r farm animal i think extra animal config has the farm animals attacc feature https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/28906

[golden basin]

oo okay i can try that

[brittle pasture]

I don't have "attack based on GSQ" yet but that's trivial to add

is there a "wearing ring" GSQ

[calm nebula]

Technically in 1.6.16

[lucid iron]

Tbh they should just attac u anyways

Violence

It's farmer job to put on enough defense stuff in order to not die

[brittle pasture]

animals that hit very hard but have very valuable and unique drops so you need to segment them and fence them in could be an interesting mechanic

[drowsy minnow]

hiii sprry if this is a bother at all i was just wondering if someone would be able to answer this?
everything is functuoning all good now but im uncertain if theres anything else i gotta do for the mystery bag to drop from stone n such the way geodes do or if it should do that all fine now with just the stuff written in the mystery bag json

[brittle pasture]

you can use Item Extensions to add your own geode nodes to the mines

make sure to use version 1.14.1, 1.15.0 breaks that feature currently

[drowsy minnow]

oh yea! i heard of that i just wasnt 100% certain if it was the features i needed- thank you for confirming for me

[golden basin]

how would i make them docile though if youve a certain item?

[brittle pasture]

not yet but I can add it

[lucid iron]

Yes pls defer to selph on this

I guess for now u can do conditional data edit where they stop attacking after you read a book or something

[golden basin]

ooo i see i see

you know would would be cool if you could hand feed your animals

[rigid oriole]

Perhaps extra friendship for hand feeding?

[lucid iron]

I think animal husbandry has that

Treats

[brittle pasture]

yeah, not feeding but similar

[golden basin]

my raptors eat meat is the thing and im wanting to house them in the barn and they eat chub

i know i can add a map property but im worried about maps that change the barns

I just got a idea

[brittle pasture]

(I considered adding some form of hand feeding for EAC aeons ago, haven't yet because I don't see it being mechanically different than dropping stuff on a trough)

[golden basin]

what if we could make a object that you can place down that lets you put feed in it

that they eat from

[brittle pasture]

Yes about to mention, MMAP has floor tiles that can have map properties including trough (vanilla or EAC's custom troughs)

[golden basin]

i mean moveable ones?

[brittle pasture]

it did add floor tiles with map prop right or am I misremembering

floor like the craftable ones you can place and remove

[golden basin]

ooo hmmm let me see

i dont have that mod as a needed one though

[brittle pasture]

so something like "Meat Trough Floor"

[lucid iron]

You can do it with spacecore too

But it has to be a furniture (like a rug)

MMAP lets u use paths

[golden basin]

this one?

spacecore could work

[lucid iron]

The method is unimportant but you just need to put the Trough map tile property on something u can move

Spacecore allows them on furniture (like rug)

Mmap allows them on furniture and paths (as in wood path)

[golden basin]

okay hmmm i think i remember doing that once with spacecore i just need to recall how i did it

[lucid iron]

I can help u write the editdata once im home, but decide which one u wanna go for first

Also the animal wouldn't actually path over to eat cus they r no different than vanilla Trough

Maybe selph can add special Trough to EAC /lh

[brittle pasture]

It does have special troughs for custom items

[lucid iron]

But do they attract animal over

[brittle pasture]

and yeah it works like vanilla troughs, the animals will only eat overnight

[golden basin]

i think i did it? testing it now

[golden basin]

"Action":"EditData",
"Target":"spacechase0.SpaceCore/FurnitureExtensionData",
"Entries":
{
 "{{ModID}}_FeedRug":
 {
  "TileProperties": {
"0, 0": {
 "Back": {
  "Action": "selph.ExtraAnimalConfig.CustomTrough 702"
 }
}
  }
 }
}
  },```

liek this?

[lucid iron]

Is feedrug 1x1?

[golden basin]

oooh it needs to be?

[lucid iron]

If it's bigger then u need to set the other tiles

[golden basin]

oo i see

[lucid iron]

Like if u had a 2x2 rug then u need 0,0 0,1 1,0 1,1

[brittle pasture]

It's not an action, just a property
also it should be (O)702 (the full Id)

[lucid iron]

What is (O)702

Meat?

[brittle pasture]

the property name is selph.ExtraAnimalConfig.CustomTrough and value being (O)702

[golden basin]

the fish chub

[lucid iron]

Ah yeah u have Action as the property rn

[golden basin]

WOOOO

now to make a actual texture lol

[lucid iron]

Fish Rug

[golden basin]

it is created now

[golden basin]

can i have multiple options for feed?

like a maybe a query that is just category fish

[brittle pasture]

not yet, but that's also something I can add

idea: you can have a crafting recipe that makes any fish into a generic food item

[golden basin]

it works!!!!

[golden basin]

ill just keep it as a chub for now hehehe

Or i could do bug meat

does this mean my raptors can eat food outside?

[brittle pasture]

no, they'll only eat the food inside

same reason they only eat grass outside and not the grass you manually plant inside

[golden basin]

  "LogName": "Modify Egg Hatch",
"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "selph.ExtraAnimalConfig/EggExtensionData",
"Entries": {
 "(O){{ModID}}_MovoraptorEgg": {
  "AnimalSpawnList": [
  {
"Id": "Female",
"AnimalId": "{{ModID}}_Movoraptor",
  },
  {
"Id": "Male",
"AnimalId": "{{ModID}}_MaleMovoraptor",
"Condition": "RANDOM 0.2",
  },
  ],
 },
},
},```

i also cant get this to work? even when i remove the condition

[brittle pasture]

AnimalSpawnList picks the first entry that qualifies so it's always picking your Female entry

[golden basin]

would i only list the male then?

[lucid iron]

Move male up maybe?

[golden basin]

same result

[brittle pasture]

did you add the condition back in

[golden basin]

it finally worked thank you both

last question though does animal config work with meeps spawnable farm animals

cause....i could have roswell attack the player

aw it doesnt work but thats okay XD

[brittle pasture]

I'm 86% sure it will

Oh wait I just saw your post

yeah I just realized MEEP likely overrides the animal behavior function with its own thing

[idle lantern]

Can y'all think of any mods that add to the collections tab, on the left?

[brittle pasture]

dont think so
what's the context

[idle lantern]

Potentially adding another category for collecting photographs from a custom camera tool

[half tangle]

Sharing this here along with modded-farmers (where I already showcased it) because my mod can be used by and changed by mod authors https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/28256

[idle lantern]

I can see that the image is called CollectionsPage, under GameMenu, however I haven't located either in the unpacked content

I suppose instead of creating a collections page, I can make it custom bundles instead?
ohp, found it. sort of. strings, ui

[brittle pasture]

@ khloe we have another one

[lucid iron]

Dw cam got it

Better game menu compat by api

[half tangle]

what'd i do

[brittle pasture]

I was talking about Jierishi's ambitions to patch GameMenu

[half tangle]

oh

[lucid iron]

Ah i misunderstood too oops

[half tangle]

lol

[lucid iron]

What's the goal here

[brittle pasture]

but yeah congrats on the release, I've been following a while

[idle lantern]

Potentnially a safari or dinosaur park mod, where a player would either collect photographs a la that one pikachu game, or potentially just monster goal completion

[lucid iron]

C# time

[idle lantern]

I like collecting thing, so I thought: if the former, a tab in the collections versus donation

[lucid iron]

You could make a secret note framework mod tho

There's a book collecting mod that uses it

[idle lantern]

Oh that's a good idea

[lucid iron]

But obviously the dino pics need to be drawn by hand all of em

[calm nebula]

Tbh I would run far far away from actually doing anything in game menu

Far. Far away

I legitimately would rather do my own menu you access via right clicking the camera or smth

[idle lantern]

The monster hunter goals or donation sound more doable, especially for my level of ability

[calm nebula]

You can do it 💖

[idle lantern]

oh thank you!

I got hooked on modding, and I'd like to lean into the hobby before something else catches my attention - like work.

The school year starts Aug 4 for me, which is crazy. When I was a kid, I remember agonizing over how I never got to celetration of September birthday at school

[pearl wolf]

After seven years I finally got around and made custom icons for PokeCrops artisan goods

(tbf I didn't really saw it as being a thing until 1.6)

[rancid musk]

-# I probably should have learned from your wisdom...

[lucid mulch]

(tbh you did do your own game menu, it was just a replacement for the game menu)

[lucid iron]

is there a smapi event that gives you GameTime

i was gonna just do Game1.currentGameTime but hrm

[half tangle]

timechanged notices, well, that, but idk what else an event would involve... unless you mean the event args giving the time?

[lucid iron]

yea

i thought updateticked had it but i was wrong

[half tangle]

timechanged does also have oldtime and newtime

[proven spindle]

There's a clothes/weapons collecting mod that does that
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/34000

But yeah feel free to copy what I did for book collecting if you want I love collecting stuff too, I'll download it in a heartbeat lol

[pearl wolf]

I wish every artisan good variations had a collection entry

[uncut viper]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/21620
(this mod also does it, though more fragile-y i think)

[manic shoal]

After much confusion over why my little personal edit of the doghouse was not working, I finally figured out it's because I had the coordinates for the dark doghouse. loooong sigh Well, at least it's fixed now.

[sour sleet]

Hey Button! I actually wanted to ask you about CMF. I want to have it as a part of Lilybrook and I seem to have most things set, but for some reason, it won't let me place the items on the pedestals. I have set all of the item IDs

[uncut viper]

did you use the same tilesheet and tiles that vanilla does for the pedestals in the vanilla museum? if not, did you add TileData to the pedestals in question (and make sure they have something on the Buildings layer beneath them?)

[lucid iron]

is there a gsq for player is swiming

in vanilla or some mod

[uncut viper]

BETAS has it

[sour sleet]

I did both of those things just to be sure and they are on the Buildings layer.

[lucid iron]

ah wait does it check swimingness or swimsuitness

basically someone asked me if they could combine ChangeIntoSwimsuit and ChangeOutOfSwimsuit

[uncut viper]

swimmingness

[lucid iron]

oh ok i needed swimsuitness hrm

thats alright i should just make a custom pool action anyways

for ppl who want all in one

[uncut viper]

are you able to open the donations menu at all and theres just no free pedestals?

also can you send a picture of your TileData

[sour sleet]

I'm not seeing a donation menu at all and all pedestals are free right now

[patent lance]

@calm nebula: take a gd look (1d ago)

[uncut viper]

are you certain your museum ID exactly matches your location id

[sour sleet]

Yep, just double checked

[uncut viper]

i would need to see your json and your tmx, then

[sour sleet]

Ok here's the json https://smapi.io/json/none/a5ee55e50d1046d0b53918318b4d1dc5

Here's the tmx

[untold oriole]

Hi! Do you know how I can turn a sprite to face upwards? For example, my NPC is looking to the right, and I want him looking to the left to save my time

My program is Paint Tool SAI 2.0

[lucid iron]

Your npc is very tall possibly too tall...

[tiny zealot]

are you aware that the maximum normal height for NPCs is 32 pixels

[round timber]

im confused, do you want him to look leftward or upward?

[lucid iron]

But u will just have to draw the sprite yourself, following the general sprite sheet arrangement

[untold oriole]

yes

However, I like the idea that he is tall

[round timber]

doesnt the schedule break if theyre too big though

[untold oriole]

leftward

[round timber]

you should be able to use the selection tool, then copy and paste

then whatever the shortcut is for flipping the selection horizontally

[untold oriole]

I don't know, but I saw another person doing the same thing, she went beyond the maximum of 32 pixels, and I thought there wouldn't be a problem.

[tiny zealot]

i'm fairly sure there is assorted Weirdness to encounter if you exceed 16x32 without having some sort of mod in place to help you

[uncut viper]

theres no Spiderbuttons.CMF_MuseumMenu tile in this tmx

so wherever your counter is has no interaction

[untold oriole]

I don't understand

[uncut viper]

(also, unrelatedly, but if you have no owner data you dont need the "Owner" section at all. also, your "CanBeDonated" string is not in the right place, its currently inside your donationrequirement)

[untold oriole]

Now I'm curious, will there really be problems if I go over the 32 pixel limit?

[sour sleet]

Ah that makes sense. Thanks, will sort it now!

[tiny zealot]

i believe so. you are welcome to try it out and see, but be prepared to either 1. need a framework dependency to fix it, or 2. redo your NPC to fit within 16x32

[untold oriole]

Okay, thanks! ^^

[sour sleet]

The cursor now turns to a hand when at the counter but still no menu appearing

And also, my items are still saying the default message about giving to Gunther. I must be doing something wrong lol

[uncut viper]

well if you havent fixed the placement of the CanBeDonated field thatd be why for the hint
is there nothing in the log when you go to interact with the tile? you've made sure it has the property name Action and value Spiderbuttons.CMF_MuseumMenu (i.e. didnt forget the modid prefix)?

actually, if it says about Gunther in the hint... did you make the items artifacts or minerals, category wise?

like, are they also valid vanilla museum donations

[sour sleet]

I've fixed the placement and no errors are logging. I made some of them artifacts and some artifacts, they are custom items that work fine in the vanilla museum

[uncut viper]

well if they can be given to Gunther then the hint for Gunther will still appear regardless, bc Gunther is also interested in them

do you have any of them in your inventory when you are attempting to interact with the museummenu tile? are you not getting any sort of message pop up when you try

[sour sleet]

Yes I have a few of them in my inventory and I'm getting nothing but a different cursor like it knows there's something there

[uncut viper]

would you mind resending your updated tmx (im assuming the json didnt change much)

you can try setting OverrideDescription to true temporarily to better see if your hint shows

i suppose its possible Gunther might be overriding it (though i thought i accounted for that, but maybe i did so wrongly)

[sour sleet]

Here's the updated tmx. The json has only been changed a very small amount

[patent lance]

@calm nebula: see if content pack deploy can be symlink (64d ago)

[pseudo vault]

Did I forget anything visual wise? We have the Cave... The shrine... The Pet area... The Warp Statue... I also added three exits... Am I forgetting anything?

[round timber]

spouse patio

[lucid iron]

greenhouse

[pseudo vault]

Does that need visuals? I expect it comes with the Object

[lucid iron]

altho, neither pet nor greenhouse are hardcoded to map

u just need the map prop

[pseudo vault]

Isn't the Greenhouse seperate from the tiles now?

[lucid iron]

yea

pet also separated

[pseudo vault]

Yeah I just read thanks

[lucid iron]

but u need the map prop that says greenhouse here/pet bowl here

[pseudo vault]

Yeah Those will come after the Tile phase

I am not sure which tiles are used for the spouse area...

Is it these?

[round timber]

ye i think so

[pseudo vault]

Okay then I should have everything tiled out... Now comes the hard part.

Or very hard... Warps are necessary too

[pseudo vault]

So uh... I read the page but still don't understand it... What are these specific tiledata exactly? I figured out most of them from guessing, but these confuse me. I'm guessing the top left one is the spouse data? What are the others though?

(Nothing seemed to happen when I clicked on object property either...)

[lucid iron]

which tmx is this?

[pseudo vault]

Standard Farm

[pseudo vault]

Wait how did you make it appear?

[lucid iron]

click on it

[pseudo vault]

This is so weird... Why is it not working for me...

[lucid iron]

its on Back object layer

[pseudo vault]

I know, it is just that no menu like that ever pops up for me...

OH Oh no... Sorry!

I just noticed at the bottom there is a tab for properties

Atleast I hope that is it...

I really blinded...

I am curious about this one which uses NPC barrier... Why is this there?

[lucid iron]

mistek probably

that tile is normally building already

[pseudo vault]

Okay.

Oops again

Somehow I missed the word even though I used the search site function in firefox...

[pseudo vault]

Oh oh... I think I created an issue...

This bridge here, I put it on the walk layer but uh... I put the water under the walk layer, on the standard farm the water is on the walk layer

[twin wadi]

hmm something's weird with the ribbons but idk why... the ribbons go above the player's head desprite it being in front, which makes it go behind if the player is in front. it's not in AlwaysFront. also, there's a random tile with ribbons even though they dont show up there in the tmx file. i tripled checked that that tile is empty in all layers.

i even checked the tmx file itself in vs code and made sure there was nothing at that specific coordinate

im stumped

[brave fable]

are they on the Front layer?

[lucid iron]

u need to put that on like Buildings2

[twin wadi]

the random ribbons on the floor was a weird property that tiled embedded that wasn't visible on the file itself. i deleted it in the text version of the tmx file and the ribbons are gone

ill put the ribbons on buildings2, thanks!

[pseudo vault]

Anyone know what layer I can put the bridge on and still keep the water?

[twin wadi]

yay! the ribbons are working perfectly now, thanks chu

[twin wadi]

what isn't working here?

[lucid iron]

u just need to use Passable T

[pseudo vault]

Just afraid it can't be walked on.

[pseudo vault]

Does that work when I don't put it on the Back Layer?

[brave fable]

it's best you look at Forest.tmx as a reference here, bridge and water tiles and layers are carefully selected

as for Passable T, it can be used on Back to make the tile impassable, or on Buildings to make the tile passable -- numbered layers won't be affected and will never have collision

[pseudo vault]

That might work for me.

[gaunt orbit]

back in the modding groooooooooooove

I'm crashing tonight but soon I will be fulfilling my nefarious schemes

[crimson kettle]

so, i have downloaded lnh's fantasy farm cave mod and it's glitchy like this because i have a mod that retextures the cave in the mines, i have turned off the retexture in GMCM but theres no use, is there anyway to fix this?

[lucid iron]

!mh

[ocean sail]

For help with modding issues, please ask in #1272025932932055121! When asking for assistance there, sharing an error log will help others identify your issue (see https://smapi.io/log for instructions).

To use this command, type !mh.

[crimson kettle]

eh i thought fixing textures isn't in that forum

[round timber]

(i directed them here because i figured it could be fixed by editing the json for the mine retexture)

[crimson kettle]

Is there anyone who knows how to modify the farm cave and can teach me?

[round timber]

first of all, go to the folder for the retexture and open up the content.json

[crimson kettle]

okay, what's next

[lucid iron]

say have u checked what happens if you just remove the mines retex mod in general

its not an xnb is it

[round timber]

using GMCM = not xnb?

[crimson kettle]

yeah it's png

like this

it's supposed to modify the cave in the mines instead

[round timber]

can you show a little bit of what the content.json looks like? no need to post the whole thing i just want to be sure im describing things in the easiest way possible

[round timber]

alright, for all of those you're going to want to put a comma at the end of the line that says FromFile, then make a new line and paste this

"Update": "OnLocationChange"```

i think that will work

if that doesnt work then try "When": { "LocationName|contains=FarmCave": false } (with the same Update rate)

[twin wadi]

since i patched a portion of the town map, do i also need to patch town-trashgone.tmx, town-theater.tmx, etc etc, or are they just patches?

oh nvm, i just checked and they aren't replacing the entire map

[crimson kettle]

thank you so much! currently waiting for the game to load then check if it works

[round timber]

hopefully my sleepy brain made something that works! im going to bed soon but feel free to ping me if no one else is able to help fix it after a bit

[crimson kettle]

yep it works, no longer glitching

tysm

[round timber]

ofc! :3

[twin wadi]

hmm for some reason my npc's schedules aren't loading, even though i slept (in game). i made sure the syntax was all correct for all of them. also dialogue isn't working for some reason.... ugh maybe its time to sleep

(irl)

[round timber]

did you load a blank.json for each of those?

[twin wadi]

yup

[round timber]

might want to send your log and relevant jsons (for someone else to look at because like i said, am sleepy)

[twin wadi]

OH WAIT i accidentally have the ingame season as winter but i only have the spring schedule

🤦‍♀️

i guess time to sleep for me too haha

[round timber]

[twin wadi]

lmao i thought this said "it could be a problem with your whole life" and i was confused

[keen knoll]

yo

how do i make outdoor and indoor portrait

I mean, the code

{
            "Action": "EditImage",
            "Target": "aedenthorn.FarmerPortraits/portrait",
            "FromFile": "assets/summer_rain.png",
            "When": {
                "Season": "spring",
                "Weather": "Rain,Storm,GreenRain",
            },
        },

If this one changes the portrait on rainy days (spring), how do I seperate for rainy days indoor and rainy days outdoor?

[gaunt orbit]

Use appearances instead of cp conditions

They will also lag a lot less

[lucid mulch]

does farmer portraits have appearance?

[gaunt orbit]

Oh farmer portraits, nvm

[gentle rose]

hold on, this is for farmer portraits, not NPCs, I think you'll have to look at the docs for that mod

[lucid mulch]

I cant remember offhand if there is a CP token for indoor/outdoor or if any other mod adds one

[modest dagger]

"IsOutdoors" seems to be the thing i'm seein

granted i'm lookin at 1.5 code

[keen knoll]

docs?

lemme get to it

[latent mauve]

I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but in the hopes that I can avoid 10-15 individual EditImage operations for targeted sprites on the Cursors tilesheet:
Is there a way to remove pixels from sprite areas other than using a Load with those spaces blank?

For example, I replaced the Travelling Cart with an alternative, but it takes up less space than the cart visually, so I can't PatchMode:Overlay, since the old cart's roof would still show up.

[keen knoll]

cant seem to find any

[flat sluice]

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/tokens.md#player
See IsOutdoors

That should (hopefully) work

[keen knoll]

oh the cp docs

aight ty

[flat sluice]

I'd try it with OnLocationChange update rate, but needs rechecking

[lucid mulch]

update: onlocationchange would be needed

[steady cloud]

i want to start making mods, but i have no idea how. the wiki is not helping either. the only thing i want to know is how the set up the files and folders

[flat sluice]

!startmodding

[ocean sail]

Making mods can be broadly divided into two categories:

• Content packs are formatted text files, and don't need any programming knowledge. They can add/edit NPCs, maps, new items, shops, and more. To get started, see the list of framework mods, the wiki tutorial for Content Patcher, and there might be relevant guides on the tutorial wiki.
• C# mods use programming code to change fundamental game mechanics. See getting started with C# modding.

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

To use this command, type !startmodding.

[vernal crest]

Copy existing mods

Find a mod that does the same thing you want to do, ideally one that's been published since March 2024, and poke around in it.

[steady cloud]

ok

[lucid mulch]

all thats needed is a folder in the mods folder, a manifest.json with the info that the above info will tell you about, and then content.json for a cp pack, everything else is mod author preference

[fierce vault]

I'll be coding my first event soon, and I'd like to know if it is possible to have the thin dialogue pop up box that appears after you leave a festival happen during the event. The box that basically says "well that was fun".

[pine elbow]

wanted to double check, CP doesn't have a OR logical operator does it

[vernal crest]

Most of the time when CP token values are comma separated it means OR. E.g., "HasProfession": "Blacksmith, Gemologist" checks for Blacksmith OR Gemologist.

And it does have the OR operator for queries

[pine elbow]

huh, I see

The project I'm part of is a villager seasonal outfit mod and we wanted a config option for every outfit in the game and use the include action
But the way it seems set up right now, if someone doesn't want any of an NPC's outfits, we don't want the json to get loaded in at all
so my thought was we would need to make it look something like
"Action": "Include", "FromFile": assets/Abigail.json", "When": { "Abigail Spring": true || "Abigail Summer": true
}
and so on and so forth
I'm more on the art side of all this and don't really know CP syntax lmao

[woeful lintel]

Have you figured that out? I might need to add a config option to make FF Furniture work with that too

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/tokens.md#contains

here it is

hmmm, not actually useful here, is it?

[woeful lintel]

just put both conditions in the when, separated by a comma

[vernal crest]

That makes it AND though Leroy

[woeful lintel]

I read too fast, I shouldn't do stuff when I'm still half asleep

[vernal crest]

I think for an OR check with two separate tokens you'd need a query, except I don't know how to write it so that it checks the value is true. Something like this?

"When": {
  "query: {{Abigail Spring}} = true OR {{Abigail Summer}} = true": true
}

[pine elbow]

thanks! I really appreciate the help
I'll try looking more into queries

[woeful lintel]

= seems right

the example in the doc is "Query: '{{Season}}' = 'spring'": true

so maybe add some quotation marks to this

[vernal crest]

I don't know if CP sees the true/false as a bool or as a string though

[woeful lintel]

true

[pine elbow]

huh

[woeful lintel]

I mean "true, I don't know either"

[vernal crest]

CP is generally pretty forgiving about putting bools in quote marks though, so it's probably worth trying that if it doesn't work without the quotes.

I'd recommend using patch parse to check this by the way rather than checking if the file is included. It's more straightforward (once you figure out the patch parse syntax lol)

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/troubleshooting.md#parse

[pine elbow]

ooh ok thx!

[vernal crest]

Looking at the Egg Festival, it's just the message command being used before the event actually ends.

pause 3000/globalFade/viewport -1000 -1000/message \"That was fun! Time to go home...\"/waitForOtherPlayers festivalEnd/end

Which means that yes, you can do it in your event too.

[obtuse glen]

Hey, I'm creating a basic mod that adds some furniture items and I want them to be purchasable using a catalog. I'm just having a hard time finding resources or examples for adding a custom catalog. I've already created all of the items and the shop and catalog in content patcher, it's just a matter of making the catalog item a recognized shop. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

I do have C# experience btw, just not sure how to properly use the smapi library.

[vernal crest]

Custom catalogues require Calcifer (or looking at the source code for it to learn how to make your own custom catalogue with C#).

[woeful lintel]

either Calcifer or FF

[vernal crest]

Looks like it'd be possible to use MMAP too.

[woeful lintel]

many solutions for you!

[vernal crest]

Oh, I didn't know you could use FF to add catalogue capability to a CP furniture item.

[woeful lintel]

yeah, that was one of the first features, I even made a botched "catalogue framework" before it (I don't recommend using that)

[vernal crest]

I knew it had a catalogue feature but I thought you had to make the catalogue furniture item in FF. I only ever really skimmed over that feature though because I use HHD so I do not desire catalogues lol

[woeful lintel]

oh yeah, you kinda do need to make the whole catalogue in FF, didn't think about that...

[uncut viper]

you can also do this:

"When": {
  "Merge: {{Abigail Spring}}, {{Abigail Summer}}": true
}

which is probably more performant than a query

[coral trout]

@ivory plume Hi Pathos, the PR about Automate new feature that settings for storages is ready for review: https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/pull/1117

simply reuse the vanilla hardcoded chest types now, I have no idea on how to handle the storages added by mod yet...

[woeful lintel]

I mean, not the shop data, but the catalogue item itself

[vernal crest]

Darnit, a time when Merge is useful and I missed it!

[uncut viper]

(and by probably i mean probably definitely)

[vernal crest]

@pine elbow You should do what Button said instead here: #making-mods-general message. She knows more than me.

[uncut viper]

(its one of my top 1 uses of Merge, mostly bc i dont know another situation i think where id use merge)

(besides the example given in the docs ofc)

[woeful lintel]

a common method of making custom storage is to pur a whole Chest in the heldItem field, that's what FF does for Furniture, it makes it easy for the game to serialize everything.

[obtuse glen]

Thank you and @woeful lintel a bunch! I'll look into both Calcifer and Furniture Framework.

[visual dirge]

is it possible to patch a method in a subclass if it isn't overridden in that subclass? or will trying that just patch the method on the base class?

[coral trout]

thanks for ur info! but in the situation of this PR, I need to get a storage type list when game launches (for GMCM UI arrangement)

even can not iter over all the item repo since they are all pale Object rather than concrete Chest/others types in repo

[gloomy bane]

Hi guys! I'm making a event for my mod, but I wanna ask how to make NPC walk faster?

[coral trout]

try the hurry_all cmd?

[gloomy bane]

I mean for events Like they are rushing to the player...

[coral trout]

oh I thought you are debugging

[brave fable]

per the wiki:
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Event_data
search for speed under event scripts

[gloomy bane]

sorry for not clearing. I'm making dating event for my mod. I haven't been updating it since the last update.

[gloomy bane]

thanks. I see it. tysm! ❤️

[pearl wolf]

I would like to patch a mod which I am not the author of using Content Patcher. (I got permission)
The content I want to change is in a file called animals.json in a data folder.
Can I call EditData as an action, with "Data/Animals" as a target, and then the fields I want to edit, or am I missing something?

[vernal crest]

You can't directly edit another mod with your mod. You need to Target the game asset that the other mod is editing and edit what it has added to the game. So you will need to check inside that animals.json file and see what vanilla asset it's editing, then Target that.

[pearl wolf]

Urgh

Issue is, it's a DLL mod

[vernal crest]

That shouldn't change anything.

You said it has an animals.json file?

[pearl wolf]

Yeah, and in that file are custom fields for all the animals

(It's for Animal Husbandry)

[vernal crest]

Hm, I'm not sure how you'd go about editing that if it's storing its data in its own files rather than in the vanilla assets.

[pearl wolf]

That's the issue isn't it

I thought SMAPI would like create a custom XNB with the name of the JSON, but no dice

[vernal crest]

I'm assuming this isn't just for personal use but for something you want to publish?

[pearl wolf]

Yeah, it's to patch PokeCrops to use the berries as treats.
If it were only for personal use I would just replace the JSON file and be done with it (which does works)

[vernal crest]

Did you specify when you asked Digus about it that you were intending to use CP?

[pearl wolf]

They said to me "For now you can do it with content packs for AHM, or just patch the mod with harmony if you prefer."
I have no clue what harmony is, so I went with the Content Patcher route which is close to JA

[vernal crest]

Harmony is a C# library that lets you edit the game's methods or other mods' methods.

It sounds like you will need to make an AHM content pack then. Perhaps if you use the same IDs it will overwrite the existing data.

[pearl wolf]

TrentXV did something similar for their mod Trent's New Animals Treats, which I did mention when asking for permission, but they just say to replace the JSON file as installation, which I find dirty, especially for mod loader users.

[pearl wolf]

Isn't a content pack made with content patcher? I'm confused.

[vernal crest]

Yeah you can't use CP for this.

No, not all content packs are for Content Patcher.

For example, AT content packs are made for Alternative Textures.

[gentle rose]

content pack is any pack of non-code (not DLL files) made for a framework

[pearl wolf]

Oh, like my mod for EBAGI

[gentle rose]

there are several content pack frameworks, content patcher is just the biggest

[pearl wolf]

I thought it was just another way to say a mod made with content patcher

[vernal crest]

Understandable confusion I think

[pearl wolf]

Hmm, well there is a template included for that, but it's just to add custom animals, not to modify vanilla one.
Do you mean that if I would use the same name as the already existing animal as a "custom animal" it should replace the original ones?

[vernal crest]

That's my guess. Do you have a AnimalHusbandryMod/data/animals.json file just from running the game with AHM installed?

[pearl wolf]

Yes, it has a "CustomAnimals": [] fields at the end, which is why I was not sure if it would replace the vanilla ones.

[vernal crest]

Is that the only thing in it?

Like there are no vanilla animals?

[pearl wolf]

No no, it also has the vanilla animals

[vernal crest]

Then try making a pack that edits the treats for one of the vanilla animals and see what happens

[pearl wolf]

It didn't work :/

[vernal crest]

!log Can you share your log so we can check that your content pack definitely loaded with no errors?

[pearl wolf]

If I replace the fields as id, minus the name field, directly in the JSON file it works

[ocean sail]

Important note: Your computer username may appear in the log. If your username is your full name, please be aware of this before uploading it.

Please share your SMAPI log file. To do so:

1. Open this page: smapi.io/log.
2. Follow the instructions at the top of the page to upload the log file. (Don't copy & paste from the console window!)
3. After uploading, it will show a green box with a URL to share. Post that URL here.

Please do it even if you don't see any errors. This has useful info like what mods and versions you have, what the mods are doing, etc. If the issue didn’t occur in your last session, please load the game to the point where the issue occurs, then upload the log.

To use this command, type !log.

[ocean sail]

Log found, uploaded to: https://smapi.io/log/6ad6686c4f374922adbc21fa999b697f

[vernal crest]

Log shows the content pack is loading and AHM is finding it.

Unfortunately I have hit the limit of what I can suggest, sorry.

Is it adding your content pack chicken to the bottom of the animals.json file as a custom animal, or is the animals.json file just not changing at all?

[pearl wolf]

It's alright, at least we cleared up the whole Content Patcher vs Content Pack thing.
I'll directly ask Digus about it.

[pearl wolf]

Oh good question, lemme check

It didn't add it at all.
I deleted the file to regenerate it to see if that changes something.

Nope, no changes to the JSON itself.

Must be doing it internally

[vernal crest]

I think it's meant to be changing that file. Can you try changing the name in your content pack to something totally different? So instead of "Chicken" it's "Dodo" or something. You obviously don't have a dodo in your game but I want to see if it does add to the animals.json if it's a different name.

[pearl wolf]

It did not add the "Dodo" entry

(And I deleted the file prior, so it's a fresh file)

[vernal crest]

Hm. How are you reloading? Restarting the whole game?

[pearl wolf]

Closing the SMAPI console, which close the whole game

Since I'm using Stardrop as a modloader I don't have a choice but to completely close the game anyways

[vernal crest]

That's not it then.

Yeah sorry I am not familiar enough with the mod to think of anything else.

[pearl wolf]

Is alright, I appreciate you helping

[vernal crest]

I hope Digus can let you know what is going on :)

[pseudo vault]

Do you think you could help me?

I am trying to figure out how the Locations for the Farm work

The tutorial says something about Top left of Farm House coordinations

which uh... I don't understand at all

[pearl wolf]

It means that the absolute 0 is at the top left

[vernal crest]

It means that the tile you need to specify in the map property is the one that will contain the top left of the farmhouse. So the rest of the farmhouse will be placed to the right and down from that tile.

[pearl wolf]

So if you go from there, the location directly below the top left would be x=0, y=-1

[pseudo vault]

Oh

I thought like it would not be on the exact coordinates

[vernal crest]

(It'd be y=1 actually, positive is down for Stardew)

[pearl wolf]

Oh really, that is a weird coordinate system. Ignore me then :p

[hard fern]

Ah yeah there aren't any negatives in coords are there

[pseudo vault]

How big is the house exactly and what would the Coordination equal? is it the Entrance of the house? Like the Door?

[vernal crest]

Not in maps. There's negatives when you're doing movement in events though.

No, the coordinate is the top left of the farmhouse

[hard fern]

Yeah i meant in maps. I was thinking about how if the very top left corner, you can't really go behind it...

[pseudo vault]

okay. Do you also know how big it is? Like 6x2 or something?

[hard fern]

I don't know how large the farmhouse is itself but you can just open the map and check, can't you?

[pseudo vault]

The house is not in the tmx sadly...

[pearl wolf]

Usually, a top left absolute coordinate system goes into negative for Y, and positive for X, as it is the lower right quadrant.
That's how it works in Godot Engine so I assumed it was the same here.

[vernal crest]

And the farmhouse footprint is 9x5 tiles according to the wiki.

[hard fern]

Thats what im used to as well from middle school math with plotting lines and shapes on graphs XD

[pseudo vault]

woah very big

This is my available space for the house...

[vernal crest]

The actual size of the image is 9x9 tiles. Not sure if the map property uses the top left of the footprint (the bit the player can't walk behind) or the top left of the entire image.

[brave fable]

virtually all computer graphics consider a 0,0 origin to be the top left and increase towards the bottom right

[pseudo vault]

Sorry for misunderstanding what it meant by top left

[brave fable]

you'll notice Tiled and any art programs you use will behave the same

[vernal crest]

What tutorial are you looking at, by the way?

[pseudo vault]

modding:maps

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Maps

[vernal crest]

Where does it say the farmhouse map property is the top left?

[pseudo vault]

I misread it before...

I am very good at doing that and not read it right...

[vernal crest]

Okay so I am seeing FarmHouseEntry [<int x> <int y>] which corresponds to the front door.

[pseudo vault]

What is "Farm House":
then?

[vernal crest]

I don't know what you're referring to.

I can't find "Farm House" (with a space like that) on the maps page of the wiki.

Well, I can, but it's in the FarmHouseEntry description so I assume it's not what you're referring to.

[pseudo vault]

So weird...

I am using both the written tutorial and another mod to learn

and the mod does it like
"Locations": {
"Farm House": "51, 37",
"Greenhouse": "30, 29",
"Spouse Area": "61, 42",
"Pet Bowl": "41, 30",
"Shipping Bin": "56, 36",
"Grandpa Shrine": "70, 46"
},

[vernal crest]

What other mod are you using? That's json and it looks like it's not correct for Content Patcher so I don't know know what it is.

[pseudo vault]

OH.

[CFL] The Grove

[hard fern]

Thats

A custom farm location, right

? From the acronym at least thats what i think it is

[vernal crest]

It's a Custom Farm Loader farm. Whatever that means.

[pseudo vault]

I didn't realize it does it different...

[hard fern]

Oh

[vernal crest]

That's 100% not Content Patcher.

[flat sluice]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/13804?tab=description

[hard fern]

I dont know anything about how custom farm loader does anything

[vernal crest]

Why is someone using CFL? That seems unnecessary?

[hard fern]

You can do custom farms in cp in 1.6 right

[vernal crest]

Yes, absolutely

Sarina if you want to make a CFL farm you will need to read the CFL documentation because it obviously does things different to using CP.

[pseudo vault]

There were so many big farms and I wanted to learn from a small one...

[hard fern]

There's farms made with cp that you can look at for examples i think

[pseudo vault]

I didn't realize CFL works different

[pseudo vault]

I could only find very big ones which are... not easy for me to learn from

[vernal crest]

Is there really any difference though? Size doesn't affect anything that you actually have to do to make a custom farm.

[pseudo vault]

The content files are so big it's overwhelming

[vernal crest]

Wait, are you referring to the size of the map or how complex the content.json is?

[pseudo vault]

the content json

[vernal crest]

Ah, I see. Looking at farm maps from someone like Kisaa would be confusing, yes. She does a bunch of complex things.

But there's an entire example on the wiki that's not big.

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Farm_data#Example

That example there is all you need for a custom farm. In fact, you don't even need the Data/Locations stuff.

[pseudo vault]

I didn't know that page existed. I blinded again. Thanks

[brave fable]

this is the best simple reference farm imo:
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3750

[pseudo vault]

I think I will need to fix the warps though. Because my map has them at different locations

[brave fable]

just Content Patcher, nothing crazy

[pseudo vault]

I do have a new issue now though... I lost my Layers/Properties menu in tiled...

Last time I opened it, it was on the left here.

But now it is nowhere.

[vernal crest]

If your Properties box is down with your Tilesets, that's where your layer properties will be too

All properties open in the same box.

[pseudo vault]

I don't know what I did...

[vernal crest]

You probably just closed it then. Go to Map (up the top) -> Map Properties.

Or Layer -> Layer Properties.

[pseudo vault]

When I press on layer/Layer Properties nothing seems to happen.

Neither Map/Map Properties... How did I break it this hard?

[vernal crest]

Hmm. Try closing Tiled and opening it again.

[pseudo vault]

Oh. Now it reappeared. that is so weird. Thanks

I am not sure how to get the XY coordinations in tiled without looking at the Object properties, so I was stuck.

[vernal crest]

When you hover over a tile, the coordinates appear in the bottom left of your screen

The number in the square brackets is the tile ID for the tile that's on the layer you have selected.

[pseudo vault]

Oh... That is very tiny... I did not notice that... Thanks again.

[vernal crest]

If you close some of those unnecessary windows it might get bigger. Like you don't need the Issues box open all the time.

[pseudo vault]

All the tabs have so very tiny symbols...

Is it fine to not use rounded numbers for the Locations?

[vernal crest]

No, they have to be integers (so no decimals)

Wait, hold on

There is no "Locations", remember?

Not unless you decided you are going to use CFL after all

[pseudo vault]

Oops

Map positions. I used the wrong word

[vernal crest]

Regardless, all the coordinates for maps in Stardew always have to be integers.

[pseudo vault]

If I use this location from the object property, would it be fine?

That would be here I think?

[vernal crest]

I have no clue if that's there or not because I can't see what the rest of your map looks like.

You can use the 80 and 64 but you can't write 80,00 or 64,00

[pseudo vault]

where would it put it if I used like 96 instead of 90?

[vernal crest]

I don't know what you mean by that question, sorry.

[pseudo vault]

The bottom left of tiled shows the coordinations

But it can be a lot of numbers compared to like what object properties shows

[vernal crest]

It should only be two (with sometimes one extra number inside [square brackets])

Can you show me what you're seeing if you're seeing more than two?

[pseudo vault]

I am so bad with words

I mean...

These numbers do not work for object properties is why it confuses me

[vernal crest]

Do you mean they're not the same?

[pseudo vault]

When I move the object it always changed by 16

But when I move my cursor it changes by 1

[vernal crest]

Oh, then the one in the object property needs to be divided by 16 to be correct

[pseudo vault]

Map positions are fine without that?

[vernal crest]

I don't know what you mean

If you use the numbers that show at the bottom when you hover over a tile, you'll get the right ones.

[keen knoll]

Good news, I figured it out! As Wized Wiz thought, this involves IsOutdoors and yes it also needs update: onlocationchange

Thanks y'all

[pseudo vault]

Sorry. my buddies know me for being terrible with words.

I have different questions now.

The tutorial says "PetBowlLocation <x> <y>" but then it also says for something else ShippingBinLocation [<int x> <int y>] So i first tried to do the Pet Bowl, But when I tried to do "PetBowlLocation": ["X": 416, "Y": 64], Sublime yells at me and tells me I did it wrong. But when I did "PetBowlLocation": {"X": 416, "Y": 64}, it stopped.

[hard fern]

Uh im pretty sure you have the wrong bracket there

In the one that wasn't working

[pseudo vault]

Oops. I messed those words up

I did it the reverse...

The tutorial tells me to use these brackets though

[pastel ember]

Honestly someone should make a mod like this (Medieval Style)

Hi, I noticed that the original Floors and Paths.xnb file in the game can't be unpacked using standard tools. Is there any other way to check or extract the original data?

[flat sluice]

I'd try to comment out all the music stuff (lines 24-34) and try again, and then de-comment line after line to see what's the problem. I have the same one, commenting out the music helped me, so that's my advice.

[hard fern]

What tool are you using? I unpacked it just fine with xnbhack

[timber plover]

ok thanks i will try that^^

!json can you upload your Music_songs.json along with content.json

[ocean sail]

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.
