should i replace it with that instead

devout otter Jul 22, 2025, 12:08 PM

#

Yeah, you character internal name, not its display name.

#

So Portraits/cheembs.KeithMod_Keith

foggy marsh Jul 22, 2025, 12:08 PM

thank you 😭 i definitely wouldnt have figured that out on my own

devout otter Jul 22, 2025, 12:09 PM

The example the tutorial gave is { "LogName": "Base Portraits", "Action": "Load", "Target": "Portraits/{{ModId}}_NPCName", "FromFile": "assets/images/npcname.png", },

i'll try that tomorrow, still need to figure out dialogue though

vernal crest Jul 22, 2025, 12:55 PM

You may have added his dialogue to Characters/Dialogue/Keith as well, perhaps?

foggy marsh Jul 22, 2025, 12:56 PM

#

ooh possibly

vernal crest Jul 22, 2025, 1:00 PM

#

If you are referring to your character anywhere in the code, it needs to be with their internal name, in your case {{ModId}}_Keith (I hope you kept the token rather than replacing it with cheembs.KeithMod!)

obtuse wigeon Jul 22, 2025, 1:35 PM

I also agree stardew is their testing ground, probably due to how easy it is to make mods, install them, and how little they interact negatively with each other, much easier than skyrim mods which used to be their go to

Thanks decidedly. I ended up writing a script to package game assemblies and host them in a private github repo behind a PAT. Fetching those reference assemblies instead will definitely be easier on the billing.

📎 PackageGameAssemblies.ps1

blissful panther Jul 22, 2025, 3:28 PM

#

Yeah, the reference assemblies are the one missing piece of the puzzle. And in case you weren't aware, something I learned about MSBuild doing this:

Passing in something with -p:PropertyName="foo"? That's a hard override of anywhere it might be set elsewhere during the build process.

bleak spade Jul 22, 2025, 3:38 PM

Okay so I've been modding my vanilla Town.tmx map because I wanted to include some designs from the Expanded mod. Right now I have a map that is basically vanilla with some added assets from both the SVE tilesheets and the Way Back Pelican Town tilesheets.

I've managed to stumble my way through making it work through Content Patcher, but I'm currently struggling with making new lampposts light up at night

I've tried editing the NightTiles and Lights coordinates in Tiled but it just crashes my game whenever I try and enter the town square

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:

Open this page: smapi.io/log.
Follow the instructions at the top of the page to upload the log file. (Don't copy & paste from the console window!)
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.

bleak spade Jul 22, 2025, 3:44 PM

These are what are in the properties from the vanilla map. I've tried adding coordinates in the past but it crashed the game so I undid it and it went back to working fine

All I added to the NightTiles property is highlighted

#

#

Same with the Light properties

#

#

Btw this is me flying completely blind, I'm not usually a modder or a coder. The reddit has already saved me on a few occasions!

vernal crest Jul 22, 2025, 4:02 PM

#

Going just off memory due to being on mobile but your Light entry needs to be 3 numbers: light type, X coord, y coord. If you've only added two numbers then you're missing one.

#

Okay I checked the wiki and light type comes last but I was right about it being a set of 3 numbers

bleak spade Jul 22, 2025, 4:03 PM

#

Oh so the above screenshot '4' isn't a coordinate its a light type

vernal crest Jul 22, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

No, in the above screenshot the game is going to read that as being a light type of 24 (which doesn't exist) at the coord 4, 50

bleak spade Jul 22, 2025, 4:05 PM

#

The 4 50 was what I added to purposefully crash it hang on

#

vernal crest Jul 22, 2025, 4:05 PM

#

If you scroll down to Light here on the wiki page you can see the format: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Maps#Lighting

bleak spade Jul 22, 2025, 4:05 PM

#

This is what it looks like in the vanilla

vernal crest Jul 22, 2025, 4:06 PM

#

Why did you need to crash it on purpose?

bleak spade Jul 22, 2025, 4:06 PM

#

To recreate the thing I did before, which was the same thing

vernal crest Jul 22, 2025, 4:06 PM

#

So if what you had before was that 4 50 at the front, that's what broke it

bleak spade Jul 22, 2025, 4:06 PM

#

So I could give you guys the same crash log

#

Yep!

#

But to fix it should I have put 4 50 4

#

with the last 4 being the light type?

#

(Again you're being so so helpful sorry if I'm being stupid)

vernal crest Jul 22, 2025, 4:10 PM

#

You're fine!

#

If you're wanting the light to be at 4, 50 then yes, just add that extra 4 afterwards.

bleak spade Jul 22, 2025, 4:11 PM

#

I just tried it and it worked!

#

#

Let there be light!

#

Also can I ask what the NightTiles AlwaysFront coordinates are about?

vernal crest Jul 22, 2025, 4:17 PM

#

DayTiles and NightTiles are used to change the actual tile from the tilesheet that's present on the map, while the Light property only adds the glow (which is actually present all the time, it's just hard to see during the day). An easier to see example is windows in the buildings. They go dark when it's nighttime because their NightTiles are set to a dark window tile. The AlwaysFront bit is which map layer they're placed on.

bleak spade Jul 22, 2025, 4:24 PM

#

Oh! So if I added something to the AlwaysFront layer and put those coordinates in the NightTiles property it would only show up at night?

vernal crest Jul 22, 2025, 4:30 PM

#

Not quite. What you put on there would be visible during the day (and you'd write a property for it in DayTiles) and then the tile ID you put into your NightTiles property would be visible at night. See the 908 in your current NT property? That's because tile ID 908 on your tilesheet is the lit lantern for the top of the lamppost. If you look at the DT property it will have the same numbers for the tile coords but will show a different number - that other number will be the unlit lantern for the lamp.

If 907 is your DT they should be the same layer!

bleak spade Jul 22, 2025, 4:39 PM

#

The tilesheet I'm using has an unlit and a lit lampost, and I was wondering if there was a way of setting the unlit tile to DayTiles and the lit tile to NightTiles

But that might be me making things way too complicated

#

Update: Just tried it and nope doesn't work!

#

Haha typical me trying to overcomplicate things

vernal crest Jul 22, 2025, 4:44 PM

#

I'm slightly confused. Everything I've just been telling you is doing exactly that. It's the purpose of DayTiles and NightTiles.

#

DayTiles = tile 907, unlit lamp
NightTiles = tile 908, lit lamp

They should swap around 7pm-ish, I think it varies slightly by season or something.

keen seal Jul 22, 2025, 4:48 PM

#

You should only have one version placed on your map in Tiled. You put in whatever layer you’ve placed it on into the Day/Night Tiles field

#

The only difference in the entries for NightTiles from DayTiles is the tile ID, the layers and coordinates should match for each object

Yeah, it makes them global properties as it turns out.

I'm still trying to figure this out. I've put an unlit lamp at Front 4 50 907 in DayTiles and a lit lamp at AlwaysFront 4 50 908 - but the lit lamp is still appearing during the day

keen seal Jul 22, 2025, 5:36 PM

#

Do not place the lit lamp on your map

#

You don’t need to

The function of Day/Night tiles is that it will switch the unlit tile on Front to the lit one

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.

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.

i actually managed to find the older mod i used to use (it was minerva's harder cc bundles, was removed from nexus but is still on moddrop) but it hasn't been updated in ages and either way i also wanted to include items from sve and cornucopia

#

k so i tried going by date published and it seems pretty much every cc mod uses custom/challenging cc bundles as a base

rigid oriole Jul 22, 2025, 7:05 PM

#

i don't think you need that mod tho if bundles are content-patcher-able?

restive crag Jul 22, 2025, 7:06 PM

idk how to mod tho so i wanted to see how other people do it

Follow this guide to unpack the game's content files in order to see and explore how the game data is structured.
It's helpful when making your own mods, or just to learn about how the game works!

@acoustic summit hi! i saw you pushed an update that should fix the item drop behaviour, but i still can't manage to drop one, which may be because i'm unsure of the exact format to follow. Would you be able to provide an example or look at my patch export to see what could be wrong?

You could try Custom Schedule Keys since they activate before vanilla schedules, but the mod author does say they may be odd with marriage.

With farm animal sprites: do height and width need to be the same? And do they both need to be divisible by 16? (16, 32, 48?)

brittle pasture Jul 22, 2025, 9:31 PM

#

I think they can be any size, but:

animals wider than the door of their animal house will get stuck (unless you have a certain mod of mine)
animals larger than 16px but smaller than 32px will get stuck for a different reason

#

(for the second case just make them 32px and add whitespace)

deep cypress Jul 22, 2025, 9:32 PM

#

Whitespace? As in, cause tje bounding box to be only 32, but the sprite be greater?

#

Cause foxes are my kid's fave animal, and foxes are long.... and 32 px is defeating my skills of an artist.

brittle pasture Jul 22, 2025, 9:34 PM

#

ok so you want bigger than 32px, hmm

#

you can't change the bounding box

#

try adding your fox in game anyway and see if they can get through the barn door

if not then, well, Animal Squeeze Through time

The itemList system is meant for when you want multiple other items to possibly drop; when you have only one item you can use the alternative drop creature options with only alternative drop set to false, or I suppose you could also add on an extra item to the list for itemIDs. For example I was able to make the creature in what you sent me drop the item correctly by changing itemDropItemIds to ["378", "a"]. I'll make note of this in the documentation, also I am working on a modern CP example pack right now; sorry that there isnt one available atm.

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.

I figured out the solution, looks like I had to trim the extension of .png from the .fnt file. I believe BMfont exports it that way and I feel if docs mentioned that explicitly alongside
Make sure the target for the .fnt file matches what you specified via FontFile in the language data, and the target for the image matches what you specified via pages in the font data. would be ideal, anyways I still don't know how to change smallfont + spritefont

ocean sailBOT Jul 23, 2025, 12:16 AM

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.

brittle pasture Jul 23, 2025, 12:29 AM

#

in which case it's color/distinct item count/display name

twilit quest Jul 23, 2025, 12:30 AM

#

The last number is the sprite used - you can tell becasue the Garden Bundle uses /LooseSprites\BundleSprites:7", which is from the new sheet

#

Color is the color of the present box that you click on

#

Item count is the number of boxes you have to fill (so you can have 10 items, but only 3 boxes you need to fill, for example)

restive crag Jul 23, 2025, 12:31 AM

#

Color, Number of items required, sprite. It looks like Display Name is moved to the beginning, normally it would be at the end.

devout niche Jul 23, 2025, 1:55 AM

the original mod author is updating theirs on location change for specific seasons - i wasn't sure if that would impact how i need to write my code:

#

is my syntax onthe target correct?

brittle pasture Jul 23, 2025, 1:59 AM

#

if you're not using dynamic tokens that can change over the source of the game (like {{Season}}) you don't need to specify an update rate

#

(technically you don't need to even if you're using tokens since the author already did that, but...)

brittle pasture Jul 23, 2025, 2:00 AM

#

devout niche is my syntax onthe target correct?

no, keep the Target the exact same as what the author wrote

"Target": "StunkyMcDoo.GrapesofFerngill.cp/crops", (remove the _summer)

since it's their own image target, surely smarter division of items could have avoided IsOutdoors and UpdateRate too (if they are even necessary at all)

#

the commands /animate NPC false true TIME [insert sequence of frames here] should work while they're talking.. hmm maybe try (one sec let me c ount)

#

you could try doing a pause command for ~3150 seconds between the two animations, but that wouldn't work if you want them starting the initial animation and then pausing at the last frame all while talking

#

Not sure why showframe stops working when the dialogue continues though

latent cape Jul 23, 2025, 4:53 AM

assuming that dialogue/text whatever still works while the animation is playing until stopAnimation is used, I would just repeat the frame you want to stop on for the duration of time it takes to say the text although that is very very annoying

exactly, that's why i was so confused and creeped out

rigid musk Jul 23, 2025, 4:55 AM

so you want the animation to start (while talking) and freeze at that frame (still talking) and then when the text ends the animation stops

yes, althought the animation started before he's talking and then continued until he's done talking, yes

torpid sparrow Jul 23, 2025, 4:55 AM

what i said would technically work but again would be sooo annoying although i cant think of another method off the top of my head

#

is he talking as in a dialogue box?

or the textAboveHead

latent cape Jul 23, 2025, 4:56 AM

dialogue box

torpid sparrow Jul 23, 2025, 4:57 AM

#

is there any break in the dialogue

#

idk i would put a break in the dialogue and stop the animation there

rigid musk Jul 23, 2025, 4:58 AM

#

hmm you could try begin simultaneous command, since, with the way commands work, the first part of the animation is going to play before the NPC speaks

#

(at least to get the first part to actually happen)

#

getting the npc to stop the animation mid way through would probably require a small break in the dialogue where you stop the previous animation, and then start the animation with the singular frame, then continuing the dialogue

torpid sparrow Jul 23, 2025, 4:59 AM

latent cape Jul 23, 2025, 4:59 AM

There is if you're talking about break to separate the dialogue from one another, that's where his animation end and then continue talking afterwards

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.

I'm new to content patcher and was wondering if someone has a link to explain the concept of blank loads? I've noticed that in a lot of manifest files, such as SVE, they start with a "load" action of a blank JSON file. Then they "include" the actual file, which will contain an "EditData" action. I'm not sure why they don't instead load the correct file right off the bat. Happy to provide examples if I've explained it poorly.

I know I'm misunderstanding but I'm struggling to find an answer online 🙂

vernal crest Jul 23, 2025, 11:42 AM

#

tardy lagoon I'm new to content patcher and was wondering if someone has a link to explain th...

It's because CP passes the content of a Loaded file directly to the game without editing it in any way, which means you can't use CP tokens of any kind because they'll be passed through as-is instead of being replaced with the desired content. It's strongly recommended practice to use the {{ModId}} token as a prefix for all IDs in your mod (including an NPC's internal name). We also strongly recommend the use of i18n files to allow for easier translation, which also rely on CP tokens. Since both of those things are recommended practice, a blank load is required to allow the tokens to work.

#

I can show an example of what I mean if my explanation wasn't clear enough ^_^

tardy lagoon Jul 23, 2025, 11:44 AM

#

Ah! That makes so much sense. So an initial load doesn't have token replacement, but an edit action does?

tardy lagoon Thank you very much for the help 💜

Oh and just to clarify on Includes - they aren't actually a necessary part of the "Load blank -> EditData" cycle. You can Load your blank json and then do the EditData patch all together in the content.json. The purpose of Includes is merely* to let you split your json into more human readable files rather than having thousands and thousands of lines in the content.json. When CP reads an Include patch (where the Action is Include) it just runs the content of the listed file as though it were in the content.json.

* you can actually do cool templating stuff with LocalTokens using Includes too, but that's much more advanced so I won't explain it right now.

#

I am making an NPC whose json will be entirely contained within the content.json. No Includes.

vernal crest Jul 23, 2025, 11:50 AM

Which I also do 😌

In this case all her json will be in the content.json because she is intended as an example for newbies and a lot of newbies get very confused about Includes and make life difficult for themselves by trying to do them when they don't understand what they actually are.

I'm a programmer by trade so understanding everything hasn't been too difficult, it's just finding reasoning and deciphering if something is just a standard/pattern or if there's a processing reason for certain things.

Out of interest, are there any good places to look for documentation on the more advanced topics? Aside from the SDV modding wiki.

vernal crest Jul 23, 2025, 11:58 AM

I'm not sure which wiki you're referring to so I will link both:
Official wiki modding index: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Index
Modding wiki (all pages view because that's how I navigate it): https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Special:AllPages

There's also the Content Patcher docs. Specific pages are inside the author-guide folder: https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide.md

#

Outside of those places, some of the modding servers have a resources channel where we share tips, resources made by the community, resources from outside the community, etc. Off the top of my head I know that Stardew Modmaker Community (SMC), East Scarp (ES), and Krobus have said channels but there are probably more.

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...

#

i'm very tired so it's possible i missed something

Is there a reason that you're adding a separate patch for appearance rather than just putting it in his original Data/Characters entry?

foggy marsh Jul 23, 2025, 12:31 PM

as i've said before i've literally never made a mod more complicated than replacing a vanilla character's portraits so i'm kind of just blindly following tutorials and hoping it all works

Okay putting that oddity aside, what is actually happening? Is he just wearing his normal outfit?

foggy marsh Jul 23, 2025, 12:32 PM

yes

i did try doing it this way from the tutorial, but that made him wear the winter outfit all the time

vernal crest Jul 23, 2025, 12:34 PM

Okay so your winter outfit loads aren't actually happening because you have them nested inside his Data/Characters patch

vernal crest Jul 23, 2025, 12:52 PM

#

foggy marsh what should i do instead?

Sorry, I am finding this extremely difficult to describe haha. I ended up just putting the Load patches in the right place and hopefully you will be able to see from that how it should look.

A patch, by the way, is a section of code that's between curly braces and has an "Action" field inside it. You can only have one Action per patch which is why yours isn't working - you're putting three Action fields inside the same set of curly brackets (which I have circled in red in the screenshot of your json to show what I mean; the two extra Actions which should be within their own patches are inside the yellow and green rectangles).

foggy marsh Jul 23, 2025, 12:53 PM

#

i'm pretty sure i put those brackets there before, but when i did that it was telling me it was invalid so i removed them 😭

vernal crest Jul 23, 2025, 12:54 PM

#

That means you had them incorrect in some way before.

#

Like possibly not putting your commas in the right place, or not having the right number of brackets.

vernal crest Jul 23, 2025, 1:03 PM

#

I am not a fan of N++, but it'll do better than Notepad. I suggest getting a text editor that has auto-indenting and the ability to auto-format your json (which N++ doesn't do well imo) because having everything indented correctly makes it a LOT easier to tell whether you've got things nested incorrectly.

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.

vernal crest Jul 23, 2025, 1:20 PM

#

One thing that confuses me is that pages inside subcategories don't show up on the main category page. For instance in the Templates Category it says there are 6 pages but then there are 42 more pages across the various subcategories. When I first started using the wiki I thought the subcategories were just for more granular organisation and that the pages listed in the main category were the total of all pages in that category.

lucid iron Jul 23, 2025, 1:25 PM

#

is just vsix right

vernal crest Jul 23, 2025, 1:26 PM

#

I'm assuming that's default wiki behaviour and am not sure if it can be changed, but even just requiring that all pages be inside a subcategory would probably make that less confusing for me. My ideal would be that the categories are not actually user-facing at all but that we have more of an index page like the official wiki - however unlike the official wiki it'd have to be much more dynamic because of new pages being added frequently in comparison. I don't know if it's possible to set up a page that automatically pulls links into a sort of table of contents?

Except for a couple of pages that I already know about (roku's list of all the mail flags, the sprite indexes for springobjects) I only look at the modding wiki for the tutorials as that's what I think of it being for.

Anything related to playing the game does not exist to me (and in fact I would like it if we could have a more clear delineation between the playing vs modding sections).

gentle rose Jul 23, 2025, 1:41 PM

the main wiki (both the main namespace and the modding namespace) has fairly clear and narrow scope, so I know if I need to look up the structure of a data model for example, I go there.

it would be cool if the modding wiki could be that for specific mods that aren't content patcher ig, but mods tend to have their own documentation

@ivory plume I'm trying to ascertain the differences between the regular SMAPI download on Nexus and the SMAPI for developers. Everything I can find (basically going back through your messages here lol) points to the only difference being that the developer version has DeveloperMode set to true in the config.json by default while the regular version has it set to false*. Is that correct or are there other differences between them?

Both versions include IntelliSense (i.e. the StardewModdingAPI.xml file), it's just not relevant to players. The full console output is what's specific to the 'for developers' version, and the IntelliSense is just a note that it's available for developers.

I don't know what that means 🥲

thank you! that looks really complicated so I am gonna come back to it 🥲

brittle pasture Jul 23, 2025, 4:15 PM

#

(ah we dont have a tutorial for pets yet, unfortunately)
good luck! once you learn how edit data works you can literally mod anything in the game*

#

*well not mods that require C# but you get it

#

also quick question, is this about your rabbits mod

opal tendon Jul 23, 2025, 4:25 PM

#

brittle pasture also quick question, is this about your rabbits mod

no its my cat one(s)

#

both of them replaced a cat (the same cat) and people want to be able to use both/all the cats

brittle pasture Jul 23, 2025, 4:26 PM

#

okay
then yeah read up on how content patcher works (not just editdata)
https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide.md

#

at a minimum you want to:

Load your cat textures into a new asset
EditData + TargetField the cat's Breeds field to insert new breeds

#

You can use Elle's cats' code as a reference too

When you walk into that area the game attempts to draw something it can't, which forces a crash

Hej @vocal osprey .
There are three different font in SV. I added the first one with a png- and a fnt-file. I just used and edited the Russian one.

I added it with the following code:
In the Language Entry:
"UseLatinFont": false, "FontFile": "Fonts/Esperanto", "FontPixelZoom": 3.5,

In "Changes":
{ "Action": "Load", "Target": "Fonts/Esperanto", "FromFile": "assets/Esperanto.fnt" }, { "Action": "Load", "Target": "Fonts/Esperanto_0", "FromFile": "assets/Esperanto_0.png" },

I added the other two fonts diffently in a more complicated way:

I looked at the code of a Vietnamese Translation mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/8409
I used this tool to unpack the Vietnamese xnb-files: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1709011717
I added the esperanto letters to the png
I added entries for the esperanto letters in the yaml-files. It is a bit complicated becose all letters have to be in ascending order (according to unicode) and all the crop and vectors variables have no id, so you have to add the new ones in just the right space. I attached an excel file I used to figure out what has to go where.
Then I repacked everything and included them in my mod

{ "Action": "Load", "Target": "Fonts/SmallFont, Fonts/SpriteFont1", "FromFile": "assets/{{Target}}_vi1.xnb", "When": { "Language": "eo" }

I know it all sounds quite complicated and confusing, but honestly what takes long is figureing out how to do it. Once I had done the Sprite Font it took me only an hour to add the small fonts as well.

Feel free to PM me if you have questions

your dialogue needs to be nested inside a patch (the {} with an action and a target). in this case your action should be EditData and your target should be whatever you loaded the blank json to for the dialogue
