Could anyone help with a crash reported by a FF user? The log ends with:

Fatal error. System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.at MonoMod.RuntimeDetour.Platforms.DetourRuntimeNETPlatform.GetFunctionPointer(System.Reflection.MethodBase, System.RuntimeMethodHandle)

.

I can't provide a full log because the users didn't πŸ’€
My guesses is either they don't have a proper version of the game, or their memory is messed up

lucid iron
#

Also easier cus we'd know what u want and be able to say "yea u can do xyz with just vanilla" or "no you need abc framework but u can do it without c#"

lucid iron
#

Tell them to restart and see if it persists

#

(this is the AVE thing people bring up here)

#

Other things include uninstall or install random c# mods

#

Sometimes it just works

woeful lintel
#

I've got one user dropping a log chunk (poop lmao) without context, and another saying they have "the same issue", providing a log that cuts off during harmony patches and they say that this crash happens basically randomly (happened many times) with different amount of mods (including MRPs)

red egret
lucid iron
#

It also normally not an error that appears on the log at all

woeful lintel
#

not consistently mind you, but it does happen a lot according to them

lucid iron
#

Since it would just crash smapi before it could do anything

#

Yeah i would recommend have less c# mods

#

But get a harmony summary if you can

woeful lintel
#

I'll see if they even follow up on it

lucid iron
#

Did you have a invisible Building later tile

#

Also, the farm cave entrance is a map property, did you change that

lucid iron

Whoever that was pls don't delete your messages

I'm trying to edit and make a room in the saloon for a custom NPC I'm making and I was wondering how I can start doing that. I've looked on the wiki and it just confused me more so

#

hi, i have two dialogue expansion mods for CP and i'm trying to make them both work together instead of one overwriting the other, i was told i can make use of the randomization feature

#

the first mod i had to convert specifically with a tool, the second one is native for CP, however i can see that both mods have lines for, let's say, Mon2

#

how do i go about ensuring both mods' lines show up

#

for the first mod i specifically ticked the option to make it compatible with the base game lines so that both show up and so far it seems to have worked

#

(i think)

sweet wharf
uncut viper
#

editing a map is the same process no matter what map you're editing

#

only difference is your CP targets

rigid musk
# plucky mirage the first mod i had to convert specifically with a tool, the second one is nativ...

In theory if you wanted the mod, another mod, and the base game to all have a dialogue line for the same day/key you'd likely have to make your own mod/edit that includes all three dialogue options for that day.

Personally I use {{random}} as a token for my dialogue to pull multiple lines

In your example if you had the three lines:
Mon2: Hi @!
Mon2: You're cool!
Mon2: Today sucks...

From vanilla, mod 1 and mod 2, you could make your own entry that does

Mon2: {{i18n:Mon2{{random:1,2,3}}}}

Where your i18n tokens would be
Mon21
Mon22
Mon23

Usually I put an underscore between my random and the token so that I can differentiate things (so {{i18n:Mon2_{{random}}}} )

#

Oi im doing this on my phone so formatting is hard sorry

plucky mirage
#

if i understand SMAPI's mod load order correctly

rigid musk
#

I do believe patches are done in order of loading when it comes to dialogue (unless I'm misremembering)

plucky mirage
#

and they're loaded alphabetically yeah?

#

so if mod #1 starts with A and mod #2 starts with B, the latter will win events with its lines

rigid musk
#

Honestly im not 100% sure in this case, i think adding one of the mods as a false dependency might also work but I can't remember for sure right now πŸ€”

plucky mirage
#

(these are the mods and their names)

rigid musk
#

Iro save me iro

gentle rose
#

yes and no. This is true but there are also a lot more ways to change things, like false dependencies and patch priorities (the ideal way)

plucky mirage
#

yeah so this is my first time doing something like this and i know nothing about modding SDV

gentle rose
#

which two mods are you looking to change the order of?

plucky mirage
#

so i got Stardew Valley Gift of Gab - Marriage Candidate Edition, and Over 75 New Dialogues for Shane, where the former i had to convert to CP with XNB to CP Converter, and the latter's lines my friend prefers to have in the game over any others

#

and they both seem to contain some lines for the same day/occasion

gentle rose
#

did you also convert shane's new dialogues? it's also an xnb mod

plucky mirage
#

they have a CP version that contains the .XNB file, i didn't make use of it

#

like if you download it it contains both content.json, manifest,json, and Shane.xnb

gentle rose
#

ah, I see. The easiest way for your own personal use is to go into its manifest.json and add a dependency (give me a sec and I'll send the exact instructions)

tiny zealot
# plucky mirage and they're loaded alphabetically yeah?

there's no reliable order: it's directory traversal order, which is implementation-defined. on windows it's frequently alphabetical, but on macos and linux i believe it's inode order. like others said, you need dependencies or load/edit priorities to guarantee an order

plucky mirage
#

hmph

gentle rose
#

aaaand wiki's down. give me a sec and I'll tell you exactly how to set the false dependency

plucky mirage
#

can you explain what i'm trying to do here? am i trying to set Gift of Gab as dependency for Shane's, so that Gift of Gab loads first as a dependency, and then gets overwritten by Shane;s?

gentle rose
#

you need to both open the manifest.json file for Shane's, and before the last }, add a comma to the end of the line above it if there isn't one yet, and then add:

"Dependencies": [
   {
      "UniqueID": <the id you made for gift of the gab>,
      "IsRequired": false
   }
]

(replace the <...>, brackets included, with the ID)

plucky mirage
#

like so?

image.png
#

i have copied UniqueID from the manifest.json of Gift of Gab

gentle rose
#

not quite - you did it one line too high

#

undo it and do it on the line before the very last }

plucky mirage
#

that last } is highlighted at the bottom in blue

#

is that not the one i needed

#

i input the block right before it

gentle rose
#

you notice how there's another } right above it?

#

you needed to do it below that one

#

so under what's currently line 18

sweet wharf
#

So, I edited the room in the saloon, and now I'm trying to figure out how to make it usable in my mod

plucky mirage
#

that feels like i did the same thing lol

lusty sail
#

You need a comma after the curly brace on line 12

plucky mirage
lusty sail
#

Yep

plucky mirage
#

this should work?

lusty sail
#

Yeah let us know if it doesn’t

gentle rose
#

yup, looks good

plucky mirage
#

thanks a bunch for the patience and the help

#

so far SMAPI didn't spit any errors

wait that makes a lot of sense, Klip! I always wondered how they chose me that one time

its just so funny to me that i went "ugh i keep getting art commission scams when are they gonna scam me with plushie commissions instead" and someone took that as a challenge πŸ’€

This is why my DMs stay off xD

it did give me the best quote of all time though

#

oh wait, this one was the fake game scammer. the commission scammer just got lost trying to tell me when tf I asked for a commission

sweet wharf
gentle rose
#

oh, I was waiting for you to give details of what you actually mean

sweet wharf
#

So, I have the map, I have my character, I have my dialogue for him, I'm working on the schedule, but I'm trying to start with where he will start during the day and I wanted to know if I have make another .json file for the map specifically

gentle rose
#

you don't ever really need to make another .json file, but earlier you said you edited an existing vanilla map, right? it's not your own new map

sweet wharf
#

Yeah, so I edited the room next to Gus's and made it for my character, so what do I do now?

gentle rose
#

I assume you edited the unpacked map file in tiled?

sweet wharf
#

Yes

#

I posted a picture of it in the making mods art channel if you need to look at it

gentle rose
#

right, next step is to read [[Modding:Maps#Getting_your_map_in_game]] and follow that

empty radishBOT
plucky mirage
#

people in the comments of Over 75 New Dialogues for Shane say that there's an issue with a particular heart cutscene that prevents the player from selecting any options, is there any way i can figure out which one that is? i am assuming it's one of the following expressions in these "events" because i can't see anything that could correspond to a "heart cutscene"

image.png
#

i don't know what these symbols actually represent

#

i figured out that @ is the player's name

#

that's about it lol

#

the other events that aren't JojaMart and danceRejection are just for specific days

Maybe the extra $ after b in the second highlighted part.. i dunno

Oh, I always wondered what that shortcut is for!
Could I also get an invite, please?
Added by Chu, thanks to them!

I’m surprised that discord isn’t posted in #friends

Or pinned here

uncut viper
#

it would be weirder to me if it was, given that its invite only and also would be strange imo to have a modmaker community in this discord that advertises a different mod making discord instead

you can disable it if you want, in the mod config. ( I known it have an issue with the ring given by the Mystery Boxes ) Sadly i cant fix it my own..

Is this a good tutorial / template i can use? https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:_Making_Custom_Furniture_With_CP#Making_Custom_Furniture_with_CP

Stardew Modding Wiki
Tutorial: Making Custom Furniture With CP

This tutorial explains how to add custom furniture using the new 1.6 game update features and Content Patcher. The tutorial assumes you already have the game unpacked and that you have some basic familiarity with the Content Patcher format. The mods referenced as examples in this tutorial are Bonsai…

whole raptor
#

Looks good, but note that in the next game update, furniture data will change completely

uncut viper
#

it's updated for 1.6 it seems so yeah

#

the next update that Nomori mentions has no release date and may be months or years away, and content patcher will rewrite your mod to fix it

#

so I wouldn't worry about it

whole raptor
#

True

#

Reminds me of the "1.6 is coming soon" SDVkrobusgiggle

#

@woeful lintel

uncut viper
#

not sure why you're pinging them?

red egret
#

they told me to

uncut viper
#

fair enough, then, but if you plan on using their framework, then no that tutorial won't help

red egret
#

no, it would be only for CP

#

im learning the very beginning

#

or if there is a better source and template?

uncut viper
#

then Leroy's framework won't have anything to do with it

#

I don't know of any other tutorial or template

red egret
#

Leroy offered help earlier

karmic gust
uncut viper
#

im just setting your expectations, is all, so you're not caught off guard if the format is different

red egret
#

yeah i dont want to use FF yet, im just so lost in the vanilla idk how to put files in folders and how to write code for them

uncut viper
#

a CP-only furniture is a lot different from a Furniture Framework furniture

#

but if sticking to just CP then that tutorial seems fine

red egret
#

okay i will try something

uncut viper
#

!startmodding

ocean sailBOT
#

Making mods can be broadly divided into two categories:

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

To use this command, type !startmodding.
uncut viper

this info will help too

sweet wharf
#

I want to add those choices during dialogue, but I have no idea how to do that.

rigid musk
#

Dialogue choices?

#

Hi chu wave

red egret
#

one more question, it would be the easiest for me to take an existing mod and keep the structure, just replace the pictures and the specific details, but is it ok?

sweet wharf
flat sluice
uncut viper
#

if it's a very basic mod there's really not many ways one can add furniture anyway

#

if it was a larger or more complex mod and you just copied it all and tweaked it, then it's more frowned upon

rigid musk
red egret
#

yeah something very basic, i already made a scarecrow mod like this but i want to understand what im actually doing and not do something not allowed

uncut viper
#

if you didn't plan on publicly releasing the mod, you could do whatever you wanted anyway

flat sluice
lucid iron
#

Copying vanilla and changing the data as a start is fine

sweet wharf
uncut viper
#

but if you do plan on releasing it then yeah just using a small mod as a learning template is fine, as long as you understand what you're changing and it really is a small mod that doesn't have like, a creative touch to how it's set up

red egret
#

its already on Nexus XD i got permission from the owner/artist tho (it featuers a character)

#

but the code was taken from a similar mod, if i need permission for that too

lucid iron
#

Is that the mateo scarecrows mod

red egret
#

yeah

uncut viper
#

depends on how much of a creative touch the mod has, really, which there is no defined criteria for

#

but one cannot own the ability to write an Edit data patch

red egret
lucid iron
#

If you make them a 1x1 furniture decor

#

They can go on a table

red egret
lucid iron
#

It'll be great trust

red egret
#

so far i cant assess how creative a mod is

hard fern
#

table decor...?

#

Lol

red egret
hard fern
#

The mental image of an npc on a table is funny to me

uncut viper
#

im vague on purpose because it's a vague and subjective thing that I'm not qualified to speak on legally, nor do I know what people consider the limits to be socially

calm nebula
#

Isn't the case that controls this Google vs Oracle

uncut viper
#

some people have very complex patch setups with custom dynamic tokens and includes and yada yada and copying that wholesale without permission tends to leave a sour taste in people's mouths

red egret
#

omg okay i run from that XDD i think i will take two mods i find easy and compare and see what i can use of that

uncut viper
#

someone who's mod consists of one EditData to the furniture asset and a folder of pngs has no reasonable claim to that

red egret
#

alright, i feel better XD ty

Sorry, I'm gonna be sitting here asking a lot of questions. So, how do I set up the portraits with the dialogue? I have a whole seven pages of dialogue for my character and I'm putting it in my dialogue.json file, but I don't know how to set it to put it in the portraits and dialogue boxes

rigid musk
#

Portraits are triggered with portrait commands

gaunt orbit
#

Use npc data to define the portrait texture, then use the portrait commands to change which "mood" is displayed

rigid musk
#

^

#

No command means neutral or the first portrait, $h is happy, and so on, you can find that on the page that Dennis linked as well under portrait commands

#

You can also use $0, $1, $2 etc but standard is to use $h and such, as vanilla has the first six portraits pre defined as to what they are

#

Anything beyond the sixth portrait will be $6+ (with 6 being the 7th portrait since the index starts at 0)

#

So if you had a dialogue line that says "It's so good to see you!" And you wanted them to be happy, it would be "It's so good to see you!$h"

sweet wharf
#

Thanks

rigid musk
#

Also make sure your portraits are laid out in that format if you're going to use the vanilla layout (they should be anyways for potential default lines.. dont be like me and not realize it existed and then have to go in and change every generic dialogue line)

So if you had 5 portraits your canvas would be 128x192

sweet wharf
#

Okay, I have six portraits and I am currently trying to figure out how to put them on a canvas, because the app I'm using is a bit finicky

rigid musk
#

What are you using?

sweet wharf
#

Pixel Studio on Steam

rigid musk
#

I think pixel studio is free so you could try that, its what I used to use before - WELL

#

All you have to do is make a canvas (it'd also be 128x192 though you can make it bigger if you may add more portraits) and then have the other portraits open and copy the pixels and paste them on the new canvas

lucid iron
#

I think they can be wider if you wish to Sow Confusion and Chaos (dont)

sweet wharf
rigid musk
rigid musk
sweet wharf
rigid musk
#

Yep! Im not sure how to do it on pixel studio any more but you'll want to make sure each portrait is within the bounding box of the 64x64 or else itll be messed up in game, but from what I can tell they are lined up !

sweet wharf
#

So, with everything I have, what would I put in my dialogue.json for the bouquet and pendant acceptance and rejection?

round dock
#

Not using my laptop rn so I can’t link but the keys are in the dialogue wiki

torpid sparrow
urban patrol
#

howdy all. i'm trying to make use of github and its branch feature so i can have my main branch be for PC, with a branch for android compatibility. first of all, is this a correct usage of branches, and second of all, how do i make it so that edits to files in the android branch aren't saved to my computer, but only to that branch? i use N++ if that helps

torpid sparrow
#

I dont know if theres a dialogue key for the pendant i cant seem to find it on the wiki

rigid oriole
lucid iron
#

I recommend not doing this for your own sanity

urban patrol
rigid oriole
#

You just switch back to the main branch

#

Then the files on ur pc are magically the main branch ones

urban patrol
lucid iron
#

I thought your mod is cp only anyways and the not working betas stuff are unused

rigid oriole
lucid iron
#

They can just ignore the betas errors and still use the mod

rigid oriole
#

Is this not a c# mod

lucid iron
#

Not that im aware which is why im confusion lol

rigid oriole
#

I see where ur opinions come from now

urban patrol
#

it's CP with BETAS as a dependency. i have two map files whose tile properties are a spacecore trigger action, the trigger action then firing a warp and a different sound than the door closing

uncut viper
#

i mean a repo is still helpful for jsons

lucid iron
#

Yeah im recommending against branching for android

#

If you really wanna do it i would put the betas related stuff behind a include

#

So if ppl don't have betas for any reason they can still use your mod

#

In your manifest make betas an optional dep

urban patrol
#

it's tile properties though, so i'm not sure how i would section that off haha

lucid iron
#

You can use EditMap for that

#

Assign different tile props depending on whether BETAS is there

urban patrol
#

with a when hasmod condition?

lucid iron
#

Yeah sure

#

I am assuming it is a tile action btw

urban patrol
#

yeah it's <property name="Action" value="spacechase0.SpaceCore_TriggerAction TreeWarp"/>

lucid iron
#

If it's not a tile action it might not even matter cus this just becomes unchecked data

#

This is spacecore not BETAS tho

urban patrol
#

the trigger action being

               "Id": "TreeWarp",
               "Trigger": "Manual",
               "Actions": [
                   "spacechase0.SpaceCore_PlaySound leafrustle true",
                   "Spiderbuttons.BETAS_WarpFarmer handwrittenhello.dbda_CrystalVoid 22 26 2"
               ]
           },```
lucid iron
#

Yeah just have 2 different edits for the trigger action

#

Target field in there and append the BETAS action when available

urban patrol
#

okay cool that's even easier than editmap

visual dirge
#

in content patcher, is it possible to just Include all of the files in a particular directory? or do i always have to list them out individually

lucid iron
#

Always individual

#

But u can do a comma separated list FromFile

visual dirge
#

oki good to know

#

oh, also can dynamic or local tokens override global ones within my mod?

#

like if i want to name them the same thing

lucid iron
#

I think u get bonked for this

visual dirge
#

i wanna override ModId to remove the .ContentPatcher suffix

urban patrol
visual dirge
lucid iron
#

It's considered invariant and baked in real early

visual dirge
#

πŸ˜”

#

not me complaining again that content packs can't have entrydlls

lucid iron
#

I mean u can just give up and AssetRequested everything

visual dirge
#

that sounds like a bad idea πŸ˜…

mild dagger
lucid iron
#

But yeah just define a dt not named ModId i guess

mild dagger
#

I just saw machine control panel has a requirement for GMCM Version 1.15.0, could you maybe take that out as gmcm is still broken?

lucid iron
#

Probably

visual dirge
#

just thought ModId would be more readable

lucid iron
#

I just have manifest builder bump the version

mild dagger
#

ah makes sense

lucid iron
#

I should just get my ui mods out of gmcm entirely

#

But yeah go delete the thing from manifest ill upload new version later

mild dagger
#

yeah I already did :D I was just thinking how I bet there's gonna be support cases coming from this at some point so I wanted to tell you already SDVpuffersquee

calm nebula
#

Fwiw I don't put gmcm requirements in the manifest usually

urban patrol

    },
}``` 

is this the correct way to target and edit the BETAS-dependent trigger action? i removed the BETAS and spacecore actions from the normal trigger action and made the action just `Warp`
lucid iron
#

u still need "Data/TriggerActions"

#

but u only need one of the 2 things between conditionally edit map warp and conditionally edit trigger action

#

on your actual tmx, put the vanilla warp action

urban patrol
#

is there a reason for me to do that instead of what i'm doing? genuine question, i don't know the difference

lucid iron

well you want to make betas an optional dependency right

lucid iron

  }
}
#

i think NotteThink

#

targetting into string lists is funny

#

oh and i forgor on both but now u can stick a When hasmod

urban patrol
#

do you always need both target when using targetfield? i'm still trying to figure out how to use targetfield lol

visual dirge
#

can i use content patcher tokens for numeric fields (in EditData's Entries)? like can i do

"IconSourceRect": {
    "X": 0,
    "Y": "{{Query: {{SomeToken}} * 16}}",
    "Width": 16,
    "Height": 16
}
```or does the type matter here?
urban patrol
lucid iron
visual dirge
#

oki good good

lucid iron
#

well, as long as SomeToken is a number

visual dirge
#

yea ofc

#

i have just discovered that Include + LocalTokens is a templating engine

#

i will do great things with this knowledge

tropic basin

I have successfully bullied stardew valley into letting me gift whatever non-object I want

royal stump
brittle ledge
visual dirge

lucid iron
#

u can do really fun and nested things with it now that it supports passing a single local token down the includes

urban patrol
# lucid iron ``` { "Action": "EditMap", "Target": "Maps/{{ModId}}/YourMap", "MapTiles":...

further question about this: when does this get applied? i already have a conditional edit on this tile dependent on heart level. do i need to target both my base map (CrystalAndNiko.tmx) and my overlay map (CrystalTreeWarp.tmx)? should i do priorities or something?

    "Action": "EditMap",
    "Target": "Maps/{{ModId}}_CrystalAndNiko",
    "FromFile": "assets/maps/CrystalTreeWarp.tmx",
    "FromArea": { "X": 0, "Y": 0, "Width": 1, "Height": 2 },
    "ToArea": { "X": 37, "Y": 9, "Width": 1, "Height": 2 },
    "When": {
        "Hearts:CrystalPalace": "10, 11, 12, 13"
    }
},```
lucid iron
#

if its gonna be overlapping zone and assets/maps/CrystalTreeWarp.tmx is what has the warp action then put this patch after

#

altho if i was doin this i'd probably see about not even having assets/maps/CrystalTreeWarp.tmx Dokkan

#

the only things that absolutely require tmx include adding new tilesheet and adding animated map tiles

#

rest u can do all in json

urban patrol
#

hmm okay so... base map with default action (play dialogue), no map overlay patch. then two patches targeting the base map, one for when hearts level 10+, and then the next patch one for when hearts 10+ AND hasmod BETAS? and only one will be applied?

lucid iron
#

yea patches that otherwise have no priority will go in order

#

your situation is like this

#

Load map Maps/{{ModId}}_CrystalAndNiko
EditMap Maps/{{ModId}}_CrystalAndNiko When Hearts
EditMap Maps/{{ModId}}_CrystalAndNiko When Hearts AND BETAS

urban patrol
#

excellent, thank you. and the way to do 2 whens is with the comma for AND, right?

lucid iron
#

but yea what does assets/maps/CrystalTreeWarp.tmx actually look like

lucid iron
#

and is just me writing generic logic

urban patrol
lucid iron
#

here is how u might do whole thing in json

urban patrol
#

oh that's much cleaner than i would probably end up making mine haha

lucid iron
#

idk if there's performance implications for tmx vs this whole thing

#

but i just like doing it here cus dont like xml

urban patrol
#

yeah fair

#

oh hang on does the above example mean i can make this ^ one action?

lucid iron
#

yea

#

maptiles is a list for a reason

urban patrol
#

sick

#

but i still need to do one tile at a time, correct?

latent mauve
#

Each tile needs to be in its own { }, within the [ ] in "MapTiles": [ ] I think

lucid iron
#

its a list of {} tiles

urban patrol
#

gotcha. it would be cool if we could define a rectangle with width and height, but no big deal

So, I'm still working on the dialogue for my character and I can't seem to find the dialogue key for marriage and expecting kids and having kids.

latent mauve
#

OneKid and TwoKid are the ones for having kids, you can do _<random number 0-4> behind it to have variations

#

expecting a kid is a generic dialogue, I think?

round dock
#

Yeah thonkid

#

Most marriage tokens are there tho

absolutely crushing marnie's windpipe here but thats okay

toothless omg

lucid iron
#

tbh i was under impression toothless was an npc

latent mauve
#

So the 'expecting kids' lines seem to be in StringsFromCSFiles, if that helps!

torpid sparrow
#

hmmmm i could make him into an npc

#

i did consider it but i wanted him to live on the farm

#

and i dont know how to do that without adoption

latent mauve
#

Could probably just move his position down a bit in that event xD

#

To not murder Marnie

torpid sparrow
#

i could make a separate mod where he's an NPC and he could live in the cove map i made

torpid sparrow
#

theres gonna be like 3 or 4 build-up events prior to adoption

latent mauve
#

you could try using those keys in your MarriageDialogueJx JSON and see if you can override them, but I can't guarantee if it'll actually find them there first instead of defaulting back to the generic ones there.

sweet wharf
#

Okay

latent mauve
#

Everytime I see it, I'm reminded that I really should change the "can't you tell? You're pregnant" line for my personal games. xD

#

That's the last thing I'd want to hear as a pregnant lady from my SO in the morning. LOL

#

"Can't you tell?"

sweet wharf
#

I get it, the way they speak is like, "no duh I know I'm pregnant, I'm the one who took the test?!"

latent mauve
#

The ONLY viable person I'd accept that from is Harvey, because as a doctor, there is a possibility he would notice the symptoms first.

sweet wharf
#

Yesss, I would love for him to have a little cutscene like Rasmodius does in RRRR

Where could I find a set list of coordinates for the town and the buildings?

latent mauve
#

The easiest way is to open the maps in Tiled or use something like debug mode or the debug ppp command to get the tile info

#

debug ppp will spit out the coordinates where your player is standing, but if you're between tiles, it's not super accurate.

TO make a custom item that draws flavor from its input (ie like wine, jelly, etc) and color from that item as well, do you need a C# component?

torpid sparrow
#

i cant remember if apples from SVE can be added as a roommate i feel like yes but i cant remember for sure

#

i might look at apples code

#

Apples is a roommate, also Mr Ginger and Dwarf.

that pregnancy dialogue coul dbe "Darling, isn't it wonderful, you're pregnant!" and then you can still slap him upside the head. Although so saying, SDV pregnancy seems pretty cruisy compared to RL.

I do try not to run the mines when expecting a baby though.

torpid sparrow
#

am i able to have npcs actually walk around on the farm? ive never had a custom npc as a roommate so i dont know what they act like

inner harbor
#

no they can't roam the farm, although I did make one spawn on the spouse patio, and it was buggy AF.

torpid sparrow
#

then i might keep toothless as a pet bc i think itd be rather mean to have him stay inside all day as a big dragon xd

you can replicate them roaming using MEEP or Custom Companions though.

hmmm okay then yeah i think ill keep him as a pet

one day I might add cider back into the game

maybe I'll make rhum arrange. First I gotta make rum though.

torpid sparrow

my event for some reason is not having the camera center on the tile i write it to be no matter where i set the x y coordinates oh and also does not make the farmer appear where i put them

@golden basin latest version of Extra Animal Config supports GSQ on animal attack now, so you can condition it with something like SpaceCore's ring buffs + attack only if not has buff
I'm not doing the "trough can accept multiple items" unfortunately, it's too complicated when silos/autofeed is taken into the picture. You can do something like a crafting recipe that crafts any fish into "meat animal food"

also wow, the one time I'm taking a break from the channel 1.6.16 is out

I didn't realize rhum arrange was French, I thought it was Malagasy in origin (and the name came because they speak French there). And here's me with already some French-esque NPCs... and essentially some pirates... Hmmm. Something to consider adding when I'm done with the other stuff.

Hey all, I'm looking for some help on a personal mod I'm working on.

It's a reskin mod for the obelisks, and I discovered when I went to implement (after making my graphics) that the code I wanted to use won't work for what I want it to do. I'm hoping someone can suggest another option (besides manually changing the image I want to mod in the files every season, which would be a pain).

More full explanation:
I found a cute reskin with different seasonal looks for the obelisks, but I'm running with a bunch of mods, including Ridgeside, Mount Vapius, and East Scarp, and want all the obelisks to match. Someone else already did an additional mod to that adds a matching reskin for the obelisk from Ridgeside, and I tried applying that code to add my reskins for Mount Vapius and East Scarp. It worked for East Scarp, but not for Mount Vapius. Looking in the Mount Vapius code, the obelisk seems to be implemented differently, and at this point I'm definitely out of my depth on how to get it to reskin over the Mount Vapius obelisk.

For reference, the reskin-of-RSV-obelisk mod on Nexus: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/31684

!json post what you have? but Vapius's obelisk is just a regular building like the others, you're probably picking the wrong texture name maybe

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.

Here's what I've got:

#

Oh, sorry, that's the East Scarp one

#

I've got Lookup Anything, so I know I've got the right name for the obelisk

brittle pasture
#

I peeked in VMV's files, the texture name being used is Mods\\Lumisteria.MtVapius\\mtvapiusobelisk
so you need to edit that Target

#

Pro tip for any mixed C#/ContentPatcher modders out there: The behavior for setNewDialogue() with a nonexistent translation string is not what you’d call desirable. This will do what you want.

    character.setNewDialogue(translationKey);
}```
uncut viper
#

there is also another function to just check if a translation key exists that I don't remember off the top of my head

tropic basin
#

I'm sure there is but I couldn't find it

#

also if you want you can modify this method to do text substitution in C# by swapping out β€œis not null” with β€œis string <variable>”

#

of course then you couldn’t just do a one-argument setNewDialogue but whatever

#

there’s a method for that too

torpid sparrow
#

Could someone help me figure out why i can't run an event? it's in a custom location. Console just says the event can't be found. The location does show up (im in the map rn) but it just wont run the event when the target is Data/Events/locationname

uncut viper
#

did you load a blank.json to that location first?

torpid sparrow
#

oh i did not are they necessary?

uncut viper
#

for custom locations yes

#

or any location that doesn't have events in vanilla

torpid sparrow
#

i see

#

how would i do that

tropic basin
#

either that or you can just write out the (location).json and load that without editing it

uncut viper
#

otherwise the asset doesn't exist before you edit it

#

the blank json is the better method as it allows tokens

tropic basin
#

true

torpid sparrow
#

how do i load the blank json?

#

and is it completely blank

true birch
torpid sparrow
#

sorry ive never used a blank json for anything ive always been able to avoid it

uncut viper
#

just create a json file with nothing in it but {} and Load it to Data/Events/LocationName with low priority

tropic basin
#

the json should contain {}

torpid sparrow
#

okay i will do that and try things out thank you!

So I was trying to validate my .json files and one came with an error, I'll send the link in a second message

sweet wharf
#

So many missing commas

brittle pasture
#

what editor are you using

devout otter
#

I know next to nothing C#, but I’m trying to fix a small issue I think (hope) I might be able to handle. I’m using a framework that lets you inject portraits into dialogue via Content Patcher. The problem is, when I change a portrait conditionally, the change happens one day too late in-game.

For example, if I set the portrait to change on Wednesday, it doesn’t actually update when Wednesday begins. It only changes after I sleep and wake up on Thursday. However, if I quit and reload the game on Wednesday, the portrait updates correctly.

#

I'm guessing this is the part that determine when a portrait is loaded (again. know next to nothing, so sorry if I'm completely offbase). Is there anything I could change to make the portraits load properly? ``` public override void Entry(IModHelper helper)
{
Instance = this;
HarmonyInstance = new Harmony(ModManifest.UniqueID);

    helper.Events.Content.AssetRequested += AssetRequested;
    helper.Events.GameLoop.DayStarted += GameLoop_DayStarted;
    HarmonyInstance.Patch(AccessTools.Method("Game1:drawObjectDialogue", new[] { typeof(string)}), prefix: new HarmonyMethod(AccessTools.Method(typeof(ModEntry), nameof(Prefix_OneString))));
    HarmonyInstance.Patch(AccessTools.Method("Game1:drawObjectDialogue", new[] { typeof(List<string>) } ), prefix: new HarmonyMethod(AccessTools.Method(typeof(ModEntry), nameof(Prefix_StringList))));
}```
lucid iron
#

Oh u gotta handle invalidation

uncut viper
#

(thats just the ModEntry which applies the harmony patches and assigns a method to the DayStarted event)

#

(not where the portrait is actually chosen)

devout otter
#

(So I am completely offbase.) πŸ˜…

lucid iron
#

we can link the sauce right, since it's on gh anyways

devout otter
lucid iron
#

yea it doesnt look like theres assetinvalidated implemented

lucid mulch
#

yeah you would want to handle invalidation to call PopulatePatcchDictionary

calm nebula
#

(Tbh as I said earlier, I really do not like the idea of using the dialogue string to index)

#

Among other things, translations, etc

lucid mulch
#

what is likely happening currently is your DayStarted event is triggering before CP's so you are populating your cache with the old version

#

other hack is to just put a low priority attribute on the daystarted event to have it run after CP, but wont solve locationchange/timechange CP patches without doing it properly with invalidation

tiny zealot
calm nebula
#

In dolphins case I suggested adding a dialogue command instead

#

And wellllll

tiny zealot
#

it stinks and i don't like it. maybe if everyone switches to the indirection in 1.6.16 (or the existing translation key thing we have now) it could work based on those

lucid mulch
#

can always do the arguably simpler but also equally as fragile and use the CurrentCommand index

calm nebula
#

The difference between "atra is willing to do implement" and "atra has time to implement" is fun and games

lucid iron
# 
helper.Events.Content.AssetsInvalidated += OnAssetInvalidated;

private static void OnAssetInvalidated(object? sender, AssetsInvalidatedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.NamesWithoutLocale.Any(an => an.IsEquivalentTo(Asset_QuestionDialogue)))
        _qdData = null;
}
#

need a thing like this

#

tho hm this would require lazy loading pattern instead

lucid mulch
#

replace _qdData = null with this.PopulatePatchDictionary() and Asset_QuestionDialogue with PATH and pretty muc hthere

tiny zealot
#

lazy loading is great because it makes invalidation this easy to support ^

lucid iron
#

is it ok to load things in an invalidate tho

calm nebula
#

We again try to nerdsnipe the chue

lucid iron
#

i try not to do it monS

#

nou

lucid mulch
#

modded assets need something to react to invalidation to cause a load

calm nebula
#

I'll do it when I have time toooooo

#

July 4th?

lucid iron
#

i didnt even finish gima and i have 2 days before button puts me on the isle of elba

lucid mulch
#

smapi itself reacts to invalidation to do the propagation phase for vanilla assets

tiny zealot
calm nebula
#

Anyways @devout otter I'm more or less willing to do a rewrite for you (for free) when my schedule allows

lucid mulch
#

that reminds me I still need to do my invalidation diagram

calm nebula
#

Until then, I'm going to try to nerdsnipe sinz

lucid mulch
#

I did the asset pipeline diagram but not the invalidation part to finish the loop

devout otter
lucid iron
#

in the meantime dolphin

#

do u wanna try doing invalidation?

#

i support dolphin C# adventures

uncut viper
#

you may alsso try writing your own C# mod that patches that mod and calls its populate function via reflection, which is not at all easier but is more fun to suggest

devout otter
brittle pasture
lucid iron
#

once u do this i think u can yeet the day started

#

or maybe it can be assetready?

calm nebula
#

Smh. Am I the only person who refuses to iterate a hashset when I don't have to lol

lucid mulch
#

tbh doing the lazy loading approach of setting to null and needing to always use a central handler to query the data and fetch when null, is only really needed if its an asset very infrequently read.
if its frequently read, just immediately setting the cache value to the new load value does the job fine

#

AssetReady is a weird lifecycle hook, and I'd only use it for other peoples assets

calm nebula
#

It really is tbh

lucid iron
lucid mulch
#

if you are the one calling load, reacting to getting the value is much better and safer

lucid iron
#

tho honestly i dont think theres a real diff between doing lazy loading to a field

#

and just go Game1.content.Load when u need

#

isnt it cached anyhow

lucid mulch
#

with smapi there, there isn't really a difference

lucid iron
#

i mostly do it in case i transform asset later

lucid mulch
#

you technically save a tiny bit of work, but not much, the cache is very early

calm nebula
#

Technically speaking there is overhead to asset name parsing

lucid mulch
#

you can call it with the parsed name

calm nebula
#

But yeah. For the bulk of things it's finnneeee

calm nebula
lucid mulch
#

ah yeah Game1.content is typed as LocalizedManager, though the runtime value is GameContentManager instead which does (and is LoadExact for the one where you feed it parsed names and whether to use the cache))

calm nebula
#

Anyways. I like lazy loads and I will not lie. All the other .... cannot deny

brittle pasture
#

calling load one and saving it somewhere saves me the effort of passing in the right type name but that's not particularly relevant probably lmao

lucid mulch
#

tbh an extension method into DataLoader would be a decent pattern

#

or skip the syntatic sugar and have your own util class do the pretty much same anyway

lucid iron
#

(im sorry we r bein nerds here)

calm nebula
#

Can you do a static extension method?

#

Dolphin go ahead you're actually modding

#

I'm eating dinner

lucid mulch
#

oh right they are adding new extension method syntax, that makes searching the current/old way more annoying

royal stump
#

SDVpufferchickmorning morning, and...probably

the new extension syntax can do static extensions, not sure if .NET6 runtime will let it run though

if you want to use that code as is, in your mod you'd create a new instance of BaseAssetHandler, pass it the type of the asset (in this case seemingly just a dict of strings to strings), instantiate a new instance, call RegisterEvents on it, and then every time you need data you just call .data on the instance you created
for your mod specifically I just want to show an example of how you'd add an asset invalidate event to clear the dictionary

Yeah, install requirements and then run main.py, assuming you have python already

(you can do pip install requirements.txt from command line and it should install whatever you need to run it)

all the instructions say is run the exe. that's easy enough to do.... if i can find it

maybe tea took down the release. that's the only explanation i can think of

The Junimos have a policy of only including the other language Stardew servers as friends.

      "Fields": {
        "Duck": {

You have to Load ur png somehow

Commas

Not commas, trying to use a texture that's in the mod folder directly which isn't possible.

#

yea it parses fine

#

reading abt the load action on the cp readme taught me how to replace an image. is there another way to use it?

vernal crest
#

You just write your own Target instead of using a vanilla one. Such as "Target": "{{ModId}}/Duckling".

#

And then you copy that Target into your BabyTexture field.

#

The {{ModId}} part is not intended to be replaced, by the way. Keep it exactly as-is. Content Patcher will replace it with your mod's ID from the manifest.

Would it be possible to switch sprites depending on whether an event has been seen using a GSQ?

like prior to an event the pet uses one spritesheet, and then after the event, they use a different spritesheet

not using a GSQ, i don't think, since i don't think pets can use Appearance the way NPCs do

# red egret Is it hard to make a farmhouse map?

farmhouses are very janky - it naturally has a lot of issues that currently can only be worked around using other frameworks like MMAP or noclip mode. i would say a starter farmhouse redesign is on the easy end, but i absolutely do not recommend upgrades 1 and above for beginner mapmaking.

red egret
#

So the best map to start with is the farm? Or perhaps a brand new map for a npc?

unique sigil
# red egret So the best map to start with is the farm? Or perhaps a brand new map for a npc?

farm maps surprisingly have a lot of moving parts. it is the easiest to make on account of you being able to just start by editing an existing vanilla farm map, but it may take a bit to figure out the code (especially editing Data/AdditionalFarms for custom farms) and map properties.

in terms of coding i'd say a regular custom location map (not farm, not farmhouse) is easiest

#

in any case, i suggest figuring out Tiled first before figuring out how to make a stardew map

red egret
#

Aha thank you

#

What's moving on a map?

oh, by "moving parts" i mean all the bits and bobs you need to figure out so they make a farm map work, not literally SBVPufferSquee

unique sigil
# red egret What's moving on a map?

in any case, Modding:Maps is where you go for mapping basics in stardew

Here is where you go to for Location data, and this page has the special data required for custom farms.

If you ever need a relatively simple working example, you can take a look at my map Cliffside Cove for reference. it has no additional gimmicks, it is just a custom farm map with a custom farm cave and location data SMCPufferThumbsUp

Hi all, I am trying to load a custom NPC location into the town map. So far I have:
created the house/interior in Tiled and saved as both TBIN and TMX
Editted the town map with my new house and where I want it
Started the code to load

However, I can't seem to get the house on the map. I am also unsure of what coordinates I need to use, if any. Here is the code I have so far:
{
"Action": "EditMap",
"Target": "Maps/Town",
"FromFile": "Assets/Town_Percy.tmx",
},

(the format, changes part of the code is already in the entire code, this is just the code piece thats nested in all of that)

Please let me know what else I need! I also have no idea how to make it so my character can "enter" the home once its loaded, to load the interior of the house as well

I don't but what I'm starting to realize is that I'm probably better off creating my own little area for this NPC lol outside of the town map

lucid iron
#

basically only 1 mod may (exclusively) load an asset

#

but many mods may edit the same asset

#

i do think extra area is better, but it's unrelated to getting your thing to work

forest path
#

So can I edit the SVE asset then to include my little NPC house on its town map? (sorry if dumb question, I'm very new)

lucid iron
#

no you have to target Maps/Town

#

that is the asset everyone's loading/editing

#

!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.
torpid sparrow
#

I would assume you use the SVE map to figure out where u want ur house to go but the code targets the vanilla town map?

lucid iron
#

yea (though personally i'd say check vanilla first

Tbh sve is big enough that I don't blame people for either supporting sve only or not supporting sve

tropic basin
#

Is the wiki’s description of festival data inaccurate? It says that the game ignores a key without _y* if there are any corresponding _y* keys, but all the vanilla festivals have e.t. set-up and set-up_y2. If what the wiki said was how it worked, that would mean the first half of every vanilla festival was completely ignored. Does it mean to say the game just treats a key without a year as equivalent to _y1 if other year keys are found?

lucid iron
#

u can look at TryGetFestivalDataForYear

#

i think it is like

  1. count max num of years that have data
  2. take modulo of current year by that max
  3. see if theres a set-up_y[n] key otherwise use set-up
tropic basin
#

see that’s what I thought, but that is not what the wiki communicates

#

I think it’s just unclearly worded

lucid iron
#

If year variants are defined for a key, the original key is ignored (e.g., set-up will never be used if set-up_y* entries are defined).

#

i read * as "the year now"

#

but yes it does mean wildcard in general so i get u

#

worth rewording a bit

brittle ledge
# calm nebula It's fine

people can do what they like, but SVE-only tends to have much lower download numbers since you're cutting out a much wider chunk of the audience vs. vanilla-only or vanilla and SVE compatible. If you don't care about numbers/have a lore reason to be SVE only, go for it.

To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) or change the deserialized type so that it is a normal .NET type (e.g. not a primitive type like integer, not a collection type like an array or List<T>) that can be deserialized from a JSON object. JsonObjectAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON object. Path 'Buffs.Id'..

You can just put in ur own mod folder

forest path
#

is there something wrong with it?

remote berry
amber loom
#

Thats for sprite

forest path
#

oops sorry, just a sec

amber loom
#

It is asking for a portrait

forest path
#

{
"LogName": "Base Portraits",
"Action": "Load",
"Target": "Portraits/ena.bakernpcpercy_Percy",
"FromFile": "assets/Image/EnaPortrait.png",
},

#

I pasted the wrong one

brittle pasture
uncut viper
grand scaffold
#

so [] instead of {}?

brittle pasture
amber loom
uncut viper
royal stump
#

[ ] around the existing buff, like "Buffs": [ { "Id": ... } ]

uncut viper
#

just like Changes is a list [] with patches inside surrounded with {}

torpid sparrow
#

Iirc after you load in the portrait you have to also put it in your NPC data?

brittle pasture
remote berry
brittle pasture
#

yes, in your unpacked content folder

remote berry
#

i know there is "Fish": marker

#

but it doesnt contain everything that should be there

brittle pasture
#

thanks to LOCATION_FISH, which is "get fish from this location instead"

#

[[Modding:Item_queries]]

remote berry
#

oh okay

#

so this is how it is done

#

i see now

#

thanks a lot

I've fixed the buffs [] problem, but i still have a problem of the textures not loading
updated code: https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/b28bbfd82d26429e942929e12ef6ce50
ive tried multiple ways of formatting it. assets/Spheres, assets/Spheres.png andSpheres.png
SMAPI gives ```[game] Failed loading texture assets/stormbasket.png for item (BC)KitN.StormlightSpheres_Stormbasket: asset doesn't exist.
[game] Failed loading texture assets/Spheres.png for item (O)KitN.StormlightSpheres_Infusedsphere: asset doesn't exist.
[game] Failed loading texture assets/Spheres.png for item (O)KitN.StormlightSpheres_Dunsphere: asset doesn't exist.

But its still saying the same message

just realized the numbers werent put on the chart. ah well. just look at the json i guess lmao

πŸ“Ž authors.json
#

a handful of people are off by a couple mods it seems but idk why and i didnt feel like taking too much time to figure it out rn. like i said, very quick and dirty Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

#

wow, I knew aedenthorn had a lot of mods but that's something seeing it in comparison SDVpuffersquee

uncut viper
#

potentially more, too, if aedenthorn has any content pack only mods, since this is only counting mods that have a C# component

brittle ledge
#

She has a few that are content packs for her own mods, I believe

royal stump
#

it's clear i need to make a 10th mod

uncut viper
#

there were about ~1300 authors who were cut off by the 10 mod minimum

#

that said given the aforementioned "off by a couple sometimes" error its possible that a few people with 8 or 9 mods were wrongfully culled

uncut viper
#

i dont know. the mod dump file i used doesnt have that information

lucid iron
#

U can use the repo for it i think (but y'know work Dokkan )

uncut viper
#

i know the repo exists and is there but i already have all the stuff set up to read this specific file and this specific file only

lucid iron
#

I also wonder what this looks like for content pack authors

#

Mod dump has stats for that right

uncut viper
#

(the mod dump does record whether a given mod folder is a content pack or a C# mod)

# forest path I changed the code now: { "LogName": "Base Portraits", "...

I can't download your file right now to check the character data (looking at this on mobile) but in case you missed it, the earlier comment was that your NPC's internal name (their ID) is missing the {{ModId}}_ prefix that your portrait target has. You may need to change your NPC's internal id / internal name.

The internal NPC name needs to match the NPC name used in the load target for its portraits and character sprites EXACTLY .
