Ouch, looks like I need to change the map offset to get the big rock back in place🤧

#

Is it possible to do it this way?

#

after a save is created the rocks will not move

#

Hi! So follow up to a previous question, when an NPC hasn't been unlocked yet, can you still modify their data?

#

Like let's say you want to spawn in an NPC with a starting friendship based on how many Qi quests you did prior to them arriving or something. Can you change your friendship with them even when they're not unlocked, or would you have to apply that AFTER they're unlocked?

#

(example)

uncut viper
#

if they are not unlocked then they do not exist

#

!tilesheetclimbing

ocean sailBOT
#

When creating or editing maps in Tiled, one common error is tilesheet climbing, marked by red text containing "invalid tilesheet path '../../..'. This is caused by SMAPI not being able to find the tilesheets needed by the map file. To prevent this error, make sure that you have a copy of all necessary tilesheets in the folder containing your WIP tmx file. Copies of vanilla tilesheets can later be deleted, but must be present while working on your map.

If you get this error with a completed map, an easy way to fix it is to open your tmx file in VS Code or a similar text editor, find all of the places with <image source=, and remove the filepaths to so that only the tilesheet names remain. For example, if the code says <image source="Content (unpacked)/Maps/townInterior_2" width="512" height="64"/>, change it to just <image source="townInterior_2" width="512" height="64"/>.

To use this command, type !tilesheetclimbing.

Is there a best-practice recommended way for a mod to check if it is 'new' on a save (is being loaded onto a save that didn't have the mod previously)?

#

Not necessarily the 'first time' it's been on a save, just if it didn't have it the last time that save had been loaded.

#

The way I was thinking was just have a mailflag on the player for "this mod has been loaded" that is applied if the player didn't have it already, but idk if mailflags disappear from the save when the mod providing them is removed (which would be ideal in this case).

how might one make a custom npc animation with a sprite who goes out of typical bounds? I want to do an animation but it the sprite is like 3* the length of a normal sprite

#

Mail flags can mean anything

#

You can see if there’s a SMAPI event OnGameClosed maybe??

#

It wouldn’t work for force quits though I think

pale pecan
#

Another thought I had was basically making use of Stardew/SMAPI error handling so that loading a save without the mod breaks something in the file in a way that doesn't get it removed but ALSO doesn't let it work when the mod is added in again, so that OnSaveLoaded can check "hey if this bit of data is either broken or missing, consider this the first time the mod is being added"

#

or storing the last in-game date the save was loaded with the mod every night, and if it's either nonexistent or any day other than the previous day, count it as a new mod addition

#

That approach seems maybe more intuitive, was just wondering if there was some built-in way to track the mods a save was loaded with previously.

Hej
I am making an Esperanto translation mod for Stardew Valley. I already translated the most important things (all items, all letters, some dialogues and events, ...). However I still have the problem that Stardew doesn't have the Esperanto letters: Ĝ Ŝ Ĉ Ĥ Ĵ Ŭ. I have tried to add my own font several times but never succeded.
I can't even succed with adding the Russian font (the most simple non standard font the game includes) as the Esperanto font to my mod. I followed the wiki step by step and also tried a few variations but it never works. Smapi is looking for the following .xnb file in ...\Stardew Valley\Content\Fonts\Esperanto_0.xnb

TLDR: I am trying to add a font to Stardew, but it is looking for a .xnb file in the game files instead.

Can anyone help me?

      "Target": "Characters/Cataline",
      "FromFile": "assets/NPC/CatalineDialogue.json"

Here you load twice in Characters/Cataline, which cause another issue (unrelated to the map)
```json
    {
      "Action": "EditMap",
      "Target": "CatalineHouse/Cataline",
      "AddWarps": [

Hi! Is it possible to animate a house tile at a specific time using only Content Patcher?

drowsy pewter
#

hi, no content patcher is not designed for that

#

Or, it might be possible if you use CP to patch the map itself to change the tile out for an animated one. You can give that a try but I'm not sure if it will work

#

If not, then you can animate using spacecore and use CP to set which time it's animated at

I have a Content Patcher question. I have this Overlay code for decorations that can be optionally turned off inside buildings, otherwise it shows both outside and inside, and I'd like to know if I can combine it in a single paragraph, for example with Dynamic tokens, instead of two separated ones (one for outside, one for inside) I've tried things already with Dynamic Tokens but nothing worked (I am bad at coding). Here's the revelant lines of code:

"If you need a more specific order, you can use a simple offset like "Default + 2" or "Late - 10". The default levels are -1000 (early), 0 (default), and 1000 (late)."

It doesn't explicitly say that 1000 + is bad, but it also doesn't show an example of adding to that number so... idk

stark spindle
#

for loading blank jsons should you be loading them early?

Since Events/Bathhouse_Menslocker doesn't actually exist in vanilla. You need to create it as an asset (by loading from blank.json) before you can editdata on it later. If that makes sense

Here's a screenshot of the code as it currently works (as writing it down in the chat would look weird since it's kinda big). To repeat myself, I want to give players the choice of having the decor show up inside buildings or not. First one only shows the decor outside, second it also shows inside buildings when the players choose "FoliageFlowersIndoors": "True" in the settings. I wanted to see if I can combine the two paragraph blocks into a single one with different tokens (like Dynamic ones), but it's either impossible, or I am just bad at Tokens. 🥴 (For some weird reason I like to have as fewer code blocks as possible.)

(particularly, the smapi.io link in there for uploading entire json files)

lusty halo

Okay, I downgraded the json so it only shows the important bits (yes it still works I checked). Can I combine these two code blocks into a single one, perhaps using Dynamic Tokens, or it's better if they stay separated? If it looks like a foolish idea, feel free to tell me not to bother with it, I am bad with coding so I glady accept constructive criticism.

uncut viper
#

if you use the Merge token i imagine it should work fine if you do "Merge: {{IsOutdoors}}, {{FoliageFlowersIndoors}}": true as that means the condition will be true if either you're outdoors or they have indoors enabled. if both of those things are false then the When condition will not match

#

im confused why you have a UseMod config at all though?

lusty halo
# uncut viper im confused why you have a `UseMod` config at all though?

It's so the mod can easily be turned off without having to turn off every single choice. I have several mods that can work together or can work with other people mods (like the decor mod can be used with other craftable retextures) so it's easier if there's a global off switch for my mod(s).

uncut viper

there is already an option for turning off an entire mod though, it is called uninstalling it

So I'm making a mod that's basically a stripped down SDE, with just Claire, Susan, Dusty and some food/fish/recipies
I don't have much modding experience but I've come a good way in it, but hit another snag
I've gotten Emerald Farm exterior to work properly, but neither Susan or Claire are present in the game yet (I've also synched up all the code and assets I have a hint of needing, so that should be working)
Also the interior of Emerald Farm doesn't load when I try to walk in, which should be possible even on day one with NoClip activated to get there
Also neither Claire or Susan show up in LookUpAnything, unlike day one of SVE where they do, so they aren't loading in for some reason, but I'm also not getting an error.
Here's my SMAPI, complete with patch summary:

And yeah I need to do something about the festival Json's too, and I'm not sure what to do about those yet either, but those festivals are far enough off in the save I'm playing now that they're low priority

urban patrol
#

the festival fix is easy, it tells you you need to specify an Action

chrome temple
#

Yeah, I just need to poke around for how and where
I could just compare it with another festival to figure that out and it'd probably be like 2 seconds, I've just been poking at trying to get the characters to work

uncut viper
#

no its literally just saying you have no "Action" field so content patcher doesnt know what you're even trying to do for the patch

#

theres no Load, no EditData, nothing

urban patrol
#

it’ll likely be “Action”: “EditData”, but i don’t know since i haven’t seen your code

Sorry. One last thing. I'm using Notepad++ to look at the .tmx files. Is that right or is there another way? Cuz I'm reading the wiki and it seems different to how I see it monkaHmm

i mean, you can, but a tmx is a map file. you're meant to use Tiled when doing actual map editing

Hello my lovely people, I have a few questions for anyone who might point me in the right direction :3

So, I have all the required things setup (ive previously modded for a different game with json and c#) Im just a little confused on how i would start by making a simple accesorie (Like a Cat Ear Headband or Mask Etc.) I'm new to Stardew Modding but not new to the coding languages given. So any help would be apreciated! and thank you ahead of time.

whole raptor
#

You probably want to take a look at Fashion Sense framework

gentle hemlock
#

Ah yes i have heard of that. I will check into this! Thank you.

brittle pasture
#

if it doesnt go beyond vanilla dimensions it can be a content patcher mod

#

but tbh most people probably consider being available via the FS mirror a plus

gentle hemlock
#

Hmm, I do not plan on making anything beyond the vanilla dimensions. Well not yet at least...I would like to start small.

#

Another question: Does it matter how i have the sprite sheet setup? For example, the object in a different order then it would appear in game?

brittle pasture
#

in most cases no

tardy adder
#

Hewo I have an inquiry...
[game] Failed parsing condition 'WEATHER Target Rain GreenRain': no location found matching 'Target'

-> why?

This is a Condition for NPC Home entry, and it has a normal default... and I can't get it to happen in my saves just others ><

brittle pasture
#

(stuff like furniture rotations/etc. will expect the sheet to be ordered in a certain way)

chrome temple
#

(apparently the solution is not "try to load it in like a tbin or tmx file in the content.json", I did try that)

urban patrol
#

you shouldn't be working with XNBs, for maps you should be using .tmx or maybe .tbin

chrome temple

SVE has all three

brittle pasture
#

SVE is an old mod and does some no longer best practices stuff

urban patrol
#

i would not recommend looking at how SVE does things because it's very complicated

brittle pasture
#

(CP can load xnbs if you feed it)

chrome temple
#

I mean I'm aware of this, but I'm working directly with assets from SVE, which is the problem

uncut viper
#

i would also absolutely not recommend trying to trim down SVE into a smaller mod without understanding how to make a mod normally in the first place

gentle hemlock
#

Seems i have done something wrong oops

chrome temple
#

So I have to work with what it gives me

tender bloom
#

Are you trying to edit sve?

#

If so, which part?

urban patrol
chrome temple
tender bloom
#

Well, the choices in that case are a bit unfortunate—either learn the old, no longer used SVE format to understand how the original assets work. Or convert it to a newer format that other people know and can give advice on.

brittle pasture
urban patrol
#

as it exists in your mod folder

tender bloom

Otherwise check the manifest

tardy adder
brittle pasture
#

it's probably safer to check the farm weather

uncut viper
#

i dont believe you can use Here/Target for conditions on things that may be read before the player is actually in game, otherwise the player does not have a "current location" to fall back to

royal stump
#

some checks of Home data provide the NPC's current location as a "target", but during initial creation, it uses null rather than dig the location out of the home entry or w/e

tardy adder
#

Target Here or even Town always says no location found matching 9-9

chrome temple
#

This isn't my first foray into modding

#

There's just some new stuff

uncut viper
#

the problem is actually that you are trying to work with very very old stuff

chrome temple
uncut viper
#

and even if you werent, trying to pare down a huge mod like SVE is a tough undertaking anyway and a lot of people may not want to touch that with a ten foot pole

chrome temple
#

Yeah, I know

royal stump
#

I think Home is checking during loading for initial NPC creation, which may mean that a lot of GSQs don't actually work in its condition field SDVpufferdizzy

chrome temple
#

(The universal opinion when people hear I'm doing anything with SVE, regardless of server, seems to be "omg holy shit whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy please just don't")

royal stump
#

you could arrange for their day 1 home not to matter & then I think full context would always exist? not 100% sure though

uncut viper
#

you should always have one conditionless home anyway

tardy adder
#

Yeah there is a conditionless home

royal stump
#

you'd probably want to have a top listing that's just "if day 1, use this" too, so the others aren't checked

#

or CP/GSQ to make it use something else on day 1, etc

urban patrol
harsh radish
#

How do I make my NPC change their sprite sheet and portrait when they're at the resort?

royal stump
#

(for context, it loops through Home entries in order, then stops if it finds a valid home; it won't even try to read the other conditions)

urban wigeon
#

Using CP, is it possible to separate content.json into smaller files? I'm at the point where I have more than 1k lines haha, I've already worked with POO before but i'm not sure whats the correct approach with content patcher

select the tile you want to change it to (for example, if you're doing daytiles for a window, select the yellow lit up window tile), stamp it onto your map temporarily, then hover over it. in the bottom left corner where it displays coordinates like 113, 34 [256] the number in [] is the tile index

yeah custom locations is old and i don't know anything about how to use it unfortunately. your options are to learn how SVE does it or update it to work with 1.6

#

Oh wait, name/action/target/fromfile is the current thing
I already changed it to 1.6 from customlocations

I just need to... I guess make a new map? Or somehow unpack the old assets? (the wiki says I can export into tiled from file, export, but it's grayed out)

#

Does anyone know any way to manually/force-unlock an NPC loaded in via Content Patcher with C#?

gentle rose
#

what do you mean by unlock?

pale pecan
#

Like this sorta stuff. Spawning an NPC in where UnlockCondition is set to false.

urban patrol
#

just curious, why does it have to be C#

uncut viper
#

you can just change the unlockcondition whenever you want by editing the same asset

gentle rose
#

out of curiosity, what are you trying to do?

pale pecan
#

Efficiency, mostly. I have a C# component that scans once to get a list of characters that are ready to be added into the world from a roster, and then edits that character's data once they are spawned in based on previous player activity. Their UnlockCondition is currently a custom GameStateQuery that iterates across a list of entities, and I'd like to avoid having EVERY currently-locked NPC iterate across every entry every night if possible.

chrome temple
pale pecan
#

(The second part - editing that character's data based on the preexisting entities - is why I'd like to have it mostly C#-handled, bc while I COULD use TriggerActions for that it feels like moreof a workaround than anything so I was curious if there was a more direct way to not ping-pong between C# and Content Patcher)

hallow prism
#

that sounds right! now you can take the time to set stuff and say if it fixes the issue

uncut viper
#

editing a characters data without going through the asset pipeline sounds like a recipe for invalidation related disaster

pine elbow
#

hi yall

uncut viper
#

especially since in multiplayer the NPCs arent synced all the time

#

and are constantly being recreated

gentle hemlock
#

It seems my Custom Accessorie isnt being loaded?

#

I mean i get no errors

#

but it seems the actual item isnt showing up...

gentle rose
pale pecan
#

The goal is to unlock them. I just want to unlock them, and then update them with some modded data tags. And having Content Patcher's conditions unlock them would mean I'd need a C# component to activate on unlock (hence triggeractions), and the sequencing's just a little tidier without that lol

uncut viper
#

your modded data tags will be lost as soon as any other mod invalidates Data/Characters

#

or as soon as a farmhand goes to a map without that npc

calm nebula
#

I suspect you could re organize your mod so you don't have to iterate the world

#

Then make the custom gsq a simple dictionary lookup

#

This feels like you're trying to get out of an architectural issue

wanton rivet
#

I want to ask, when SMAPI and Content Packer update, do I have to update my mod too?

calm nebula
#

Unlikely

brittle pasture
#

it's mostly game updates you have to worry about

pale pecan
pale pecan
#

Or, custom fields in this case

uncut viper
#

ironically, i believe moddata would be fine here, but customfields is not, as its read from their CharacterData

#

any time Data/Characters is invalidated and refetched your CustomFields get wiped and replaced with whatever is in the content pipeline

pale pecan
#

Goootcha

uncut viper
#

but neither of them will really solve the multiplayer problem, as theres no guarantees a farmhand will have the same moddata on their NPC that the host does

#

not impossible to work around, just something to keep in mind

pale pecan
#

Noted! Ty!

uncut viper
#

also, a farmhand cannot write to the moddata unless they are in the same location as the NPC, for the same reasons

#

it will just be lost

#

(the same goes for location mod data, as well, unless it is an active location like the Farm)

pale pecan
#

Makes sense! It's storing info into the save file from host rn so theoretically that won't be an issue?

uncut viper
#

whether its an issue or not entirely depends on what you're trying to do and what your intentions are and what code you've already written

pale pecan
#

yeah fair

#

XD

uncut viper
#

i hope you're not trying to write to the save file when the player is a farmhand

pale pecan
#

I shouldn't be but I will make sure I do not lol
(A simple check for if(Game1.player != Game1.MasterPlayer){ return; } should do the trick yeah?)

# calm nebula Their outfit when the game (not you) selects them to go there

Yes, I was expecting them to change outfits when they entered the changing area, but they never do. I assumed the issue was with the code, not with the game's random selection, since I know some NPCs, like Lewis, don’t always change either. But I've tested it five times on different days, and my NPC never changes their appearance.

calm nebula
#

By default if the assets exist correctly they will change

#

Can you please show all your code

urban patrol
#

you might need to use IsIslandAttire? not sure https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:_Adding_Seasonal_Outfits_via_Appearances

Stardew Modding Wiki
Tutorial: Adding Seasonal Outfits via Appearances

If you want to add seasonal outfits for your NPC, there's two ways you can do this: the token way or the Appearances way. Appearances is a new code structure added in SDV 1.6, so if you're looking at an older NPC's code for reference, they'll most likely be using the token way. The main difference between the two is that the token way is simpler...

glossy cargo
#

Okay I'm running into an extremely weird issue. Does anyone have spacechase0's @ so that I can discuss it with them? It seems to be some sort of mod interaction

uncut viper
#

casey is on modding hiatus here

brittle pasture
#

what's the issue anyway, perhaps the c# knowers can help

glossy cargo
#

I am trying to hook into Crop.Kill(), with a prefix patch. The intent is to notice when a crop is being killed, and tally up the number. I do it with a prefix, because I want to check if the crop was already dead before calling the method

image.png image.png
#

What I do exactly matters very little. The logging line you see there is all that matters for this problem

#

When I play the game with just my mod, this works fine. I can tally up all crops that die on season change

#

But when I play it with JsonAssets and SpaceCore, suddenly, this patch is not running at all

#

I originally was testing with the debugger, but eventually switched to just logging it, for convenience

#

It appears something in these mods is fighting with my code. I'd like to fix it, but also, I'd like to not be overbearing in my patching in a way that would impact the other mods negatively

#

Hence the desire for a discussion 😐

uncut viper
#

it sounds like a harmony priority thing, but are you ever returning false from that prefix?

glossy cargo
#

No, I always return true in this method

uncut viper
#

why is it a bool prefix at all then?

glossy cargo
#

I do it with a prefix, because I want to check if the crop was already dead before calling the method

uncut viper
#

why is it a bool prefix at all then?

calm nebula
glossy cargo
#

You mean to just make a void prefix?

uncut viper
#

a bool prefix, when returning false, skips the actual function

#

it also means it has to deal with the priority of OTHER bool prefixes

glossy cargo
#

Yeah I can change it. But I don't see how that would fix my problem

uncut viper
#

if someone ELSE returns false before yours, your prefix is also skipped

calm nebula
#

void prefixes always run

glossy cargo
#

ohhh

uncut viper
#

however, if its a void prefix, it is considered side effectless

glossy cargo
#

I did not know that

uncut viper
#

and will never be skipped

glossy cargo
#

Alright, then I'll try this

#

I've been getting into the habit of making void postfixes and bool prefixes and never thinking much about it

brave fable
calm nebula
#

Lol

uncut viper
#

this way is actually not even at all mysterious

calm nebula
#

It makes sense if you're willing to sit down and read the code

brave fable
#

it's unexpected at least. maybe even mysterious

glossy cargo
#

i've been digging through the JsonAssets and SpaceCore code and couldnt find an existing patch on Crop.Kill() though. That was my first suspicion, but then when I found nothing, I started to believe it was something else

brave fable
#

just a little mystery as a treat

brittle pasture

#

does prefixing seasonal tilesheets with my mod id prevent them from automatically being used by my map? (i suspect yes, just confirming that's my issue.) is there a suggested different target to load them to, if so? this is how i'm loading them rn:

"Target": "Maps/{{ModId}}_finchhouse, Maps/{{ModId}}_FRL_Elevator, Maps/{{ModId}}_tongueandtail, Maps/{{ModId}}_furniture, Maps/{{ModId}}_furniture_2, Maps/{{ModId}}_furniture_3, Maps/{{ModId}}_wizard_furniture, Maps/{{ModId}}_fall_Lighthouse, Maps/{{ModId}}_spring_Lighthouse, Maps/{{ModId}}_summer_Lighthouse, Maps/{{ModId}}_winter_Lighthouse",

#

okay thanks!

#

Nope, switching to a void prefix did not help

#

still not running

gaunt orbit
#

Is it being applied? And to the correct method?

royal stump
#

SDVpufferlurk judging by that screenshot, you're checking that dead.Value is true in a prefix on a method where it's set to true

#

so it may just not be dead until after the patch

#

oh, sorry, missed the text above it & ig that's intended

gaunt orbit
#

You're using breakpoints right?

uncut viper
#

it sounds to me like something you have installed is just skipping the call to Kill() entirely

glossy cargo

What I have installed is this:

#

And I've confirmed that removing either JsonAssets or SpaceCore makes it work fine

#

So yes, it seems the Kill() call is skipped

#

I'm just not sure why or how

gaunt orbit
#

That's odd

glossy cargo
#

The crops do die though. They dont magically survive. So whatever is skipping it, is killing them properly anyway

Would it get inlined with other mods, but not inlined in "vanilla"? SDVpuffersweats

because if so, yuck

time to patch NewDay instead

calm nebula
#

Inlining is done by the jit heuristically

glossy cargo
#

I did run into inlining issues for the traveling merchant days in the past, but only on Mac. That was fun to debug

calm nebula
#

It depends on what gets called when, tbh

glossy cargo

I'll switch to patching this:

I'll test for the same conditions and run my code if I expect it will go in this if

lucid iron
#

What if u just not patch anything and do stuff in daystarted

glossy cargo
#

What would that improve?

lucid iron
#

Less usage of harmony and transpiler reduces the chance for that one AVE bug

#

But it does depend on what you intend to do with the patch

glossy cargo
#

AVE?

#

btw I'm genuinely interested in your reasoning, but I think I'm way beyond the point of getting my harmony under control SDVpufferchicksweatsip

AccessViolationException

#

sometimes Harmony just decides You Can't Do That

#

that is one i would call a mysterious way

lucid iron
#

Eh dw about what you did previously it's more just making a choice to not use harmony when you can

uncut viper
#

(though its also possible to get AVEs randomly without Harmony too, so who knows)

lucid iron
#

Like if u need newDay to not do something and that something isn't easily reversible in daystarted

#

Then yea harmony go brrr

#

However i wouldn't patch newDay just to do something i could do in smapi day started

glossy cargo
#

Just fyi, I believe this code runs on day ending, not starting, as it happens before the save. But your point would still stand regardless

lucid iron
#

Common sense thing in the end

#

There's a day ending smapi event too

glossy cargo
#

Yes I know, that's why I said your point still stands

#

Yeah I think this is more a case of, I have a nice architecture that works well and is organized, for the patches, but my actual Event hooks are kinda messy and generally do meta-game stuff, not in-game stuff, so I'm a bit wary of diverging from the pattern. Not sure how justified that is. Just a preference probably

lucid iron
#

well u can have multiple event hooks if u want

glossy cargo

Yes I know that

lucid mulch

Specifically you can listen to the same event multiple times

Someday I might do a big refactoring and actually set myself up for it

Profiler is mostly useful to give to other ppl to install

Then you can look at their log n see what's up

It is ligher than full c# profiler i think

Also profiler works on measuring the time of discrete events, not doing CPU samples of where the thread(s) are

related question, what's the reason for banning NPCs from backwoods? is it the circular pathing, or is it because of inaccessible warps?

gentle rose
#

not contiguous (inaccessible warps)

urban patrol
#

aha

gentle rose
#

I think farm is blacklisted from pathing so that prevents the circular pathing

urban patrol
#

oh that makes sense yeah

#

does SVE do anything special in regard to its NPC pathing/maps? i'm just now remembering that for SVE compatibility i did technically create circular maps (Town -> Beach -> Lighthouse (mine) -> Blue Moon Vineyard -> Town)

calm nebula

Circular pathing isn't terrible

So I'm making a greenhouse redesign mod, and i cant move the entrance and exit point? Its not a tiledata tile like the water trough

i thought they just lead to inefficient pathing

calm nebula

I mean yes

urban patrol

ah i see

calm nebula
#

Inefficient pathing and probably a slow pathfinder

urban patrol

i know spacecore somehow fixes pathing--is that just within one map, or would that impact circular maps

bc i do have that dependency

(if the answer is "this is technically possible but not recommended", that's fine btw)

for true DFS, cycles lead to it never completing

# eternal glade So I'm making a greenhouse redesign mod, and i cant move the entrance and exit p...

judging by the decompiled game code handling WarpGreenhouse, you can use Warp Farm x y to override the default warp position of 10 23:

GameLocation greenhouse = Game1.getLocationFromName("Greenhouse");
int destination_x = 10;
int destination_y = 23;
if (greenhouse != null)
{
    foreach (Warp warp in greenhouse.warps)
    {
        if (warp.TargetName == "Farm")
        {
            destination_x = warp.X;
            destination_y = warp.Y - 1;
            break;
        }
    }
}
Game1.warpFarmer("Greenhouse", destination_x, destination_y, flip: false);
#

which is essentially using your exit warp to override the entry warp

urban patrol
gentle rose
#

ah it depends on if you track visited nodes or not (but if you do track visited nodes you also don’t have an efficiency problem)

#

there’s no situation where cycles cause DFS to be inefficient but not hang

Spacecore entirely rewrites how the map to map scheduler work yeah

(Optional) The NPC's closest friends and family, as a dictionary where the key is the other NPC's internal name and the value is an optional tokenizable string for the name to use in dialogue text (like 'mom'). Default none.

This affects generic dialogue for revealing likes and dislikes to family members, and may affect inlaw_<NPC> dialogues. This isn't necessarily comprehensive.

for an optional tokenizable string, how do i set it to the default? empty quotes, or null, or having no value?

#

i had "friend" in there but that appears too vague in the actual dialogue, so i want it to say the name

my NightTiles don't contain (20, 64) at all. my map patches Town from (6, 62) for a width and height of 16 and 15. am i correct that the order of what's happening is that SVE adds NightTiles, and then i patch the map, and then the NightTiles can't find 20,64 since i removed it? how do i remove the NightTiles that SVE added?

I read you shouldn't use queries in When: conditions if you can help it due to performance concerns (?). Is that true and HOW true?

calm nebula
lucid mulch

Queries are more computationally expensive relative to other mechanisms to do the comparisons

#

it still has value as it can do weird permutations of comparisons that you can't do otherwise, but if you can do it without query, that's preferable

cold marsh
#

Now that I think about it, you can have an OR condition for two mods by using Hasmod *without* |contains, right? If so, that removes the bulk of my query usage

lucid mulch
#

"HasMod": "ModId1, ModId2" is an OR

uncut viper
#

so is HasMod |contains=Mod1, Mod2: true

cold marsh

Great to know, thank you.

its mainly when you want to mix AND's and OR's simultaniously that you start needing to lean on query

even then, a lot of people forget about merge

even though that makes no sense

im 99% sure its a case-sensitive check too so you could actually just uppercase your mod id

looks like case sensitive

what's even the use case for that? is it common to start quests with h to designate them host only?

#

mostly a rhetorical question

can you use a localtoken as a When condition in the same patch it is defined in even?

should

#

it was available for internal to the patch prior to working with inheritance on an include iirc

tribal ore

I've also tried just using the mod token straight. It doesn't have to be a local

#

I just tried that to see if I could make it work

if cp doesn't like it you should be getting warnings in the log

Well, the list token doesn't. The random one does.

The error isn't helping me much :/

But I'm able to grab the value of the ModSuitors token and store it as a dynamic. So I know the token itself works

you're not supposed to have {{ on the outside in a when condition

which Kantrip didnt

Let me reload the whole thing. I was playing with braces a lot, so I might have pasted an old error. Let me double check so I don't confuse us al

}

@tribal ore what editor do you use normally?

i've been checking the host for everything in this long chain of quest/event/mail

uncut viper
#

lack of modid aside, are you certain this trigger action ran at all and that you actually have the flag?

urban patrol
#

let me check that, what's the debug command?

uncut viper
#

debug gq PLAYER_HAS_MAIL Host handwrittenhello.dba_SeanceIngredientsComplete or w/e your unique id is written out

#

however i said lack of modid aside bc i was looking at your trigger action id, but i do now also see that the mail you're checking for does not have your uniqueid in it

#

but the mail you're sending does

#

are you sure you are consistently using the uniqueid in all your relevant checks

urban patrol
#

yeah i see it said false

#

i'll go check that everything has my mod id

#

ah yeah the three quests send mail with my mod id but the trigger action doesn't have them, that'd be it then

#

let me go redo the quests again real quick to check
