(never sure when the bot will/won't accept more text after commands )

[fossil osprey]

The author has given permission to use their assets and modify the code, so you're safe for that part

Which means yeah, you just need to know how modding works

[royal stump]

yeah, I'm not 100% sure what nexus's policy on cross-game* sprite mods is these days, but the original editor is fine with it

and that one's been around long enough that it's probably been seen

[fossil osprey]

Their permissions are open on the mod page, so no problems ^^

[tender badger]

hi all! im very new into modding, and was wondering if it is possible to use buildings as tilesheets into our own mod while listing the mod used as a dependency.
for example, could i use buildings in https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/14524 into a custom map, if i do not include any images from this file in my mod, and list this mod as a dependency?

wondering what is the general practice on this - is this allowed or should i always check with the owner?

[lucid iron]

Elle's town buildings changes the tilesheets

So you if u are repurposing any town buildings as is you will have the changes too

[tender badger]

im actually not repurposing town buildings - more like creating a new one! lets say id like to use Elle's doghouse in a custom farm map, is it allowed for me to reference her image in my mod?

[lucid iron]

You can't because she's not loading the images

[unreal spoke]

(There’s got to be a space after the command, even if you start a new line afterwards. "!gs[new line]cool description" doesn’t work, but "!gs [new line] cool text" does for some reason. )

[dusky sail]

If you're wanting to repurpose elle's sprites as part of a tilesheet for a new area, you will have to ask for permission. But in general, no one will ever get mad at you for asking permission even when you don't need to, so it's ok to err on the side of caution in the future

[tender badger]

sounds good, thanks all! does anyone know if shes on this discord by chance?

[round dock]

Yes, she is

[lucid iron]

this actually depends on how it's loaded

if the image exists under Maps then yep it works just via dependency as if you got a tilesheet mod

without that you will have to do it by arbitrary tilesheet access (another mod)

if this PR gets merged then any loaded texture will become usable in maps https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/pull/988

[tender badger]

@round dock sorry im quite new here; do you have her @? thanks!!

@lucid iron o interesting, i wasnt aware of these caveats - i saw the images from her mod folder and was able to use as embedding in Tiled, so i thought they were loaded in as replacements to original map

[lucid iron]

how attached are you to elle's building specifically

cus there's tilesheets mods with buildings from other ppl that are actually designed for usage in maps

[tender badger]

haha, not particularly, but they do look amazing! i dont know if ill have the funds for completely new set of new bulidings tho 🙂

[lucid iron]

check out lumisteria outdoors perhaps

[tender badger]

yup i saw some tilesheet mods (hxw for one! who have said as long as they are listed as dependency could be used in maps) but couldnt find any buildings in them - mostly decors

[lucid iron]

https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/1303/images/10448/10448-1640620274-947678835.png

i like the funny semicircle building

but yea tilesheet mods r just easier to use for this purpose

they will load their sheets to Maps and then you can use em normally

[round dock]

@deep plume (hi elle, sorry for the ping, hope you’re doing great )

[lucid iron]

as if they are vanilla sheet

[lucid iron]

i suspect your current setup won't load in game, due to tilesheet climbing

[tender badger]

hm i havent tried loading them in yet, so maybe using a building mod wont work as a referenced tilesheet..?

[lucid iron]

i recommend starting with a copy of a vanilla map

there r lots of differences between what tiled lets you do and what game will actually load

!tilesheetclimbing

[ocean sail]

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.

[lucid iron]

try using just vanilla sheets first and do some simple edits to make sure you get whats going on

[tender badger]

will do! thank you @lucid iron ! are u making a mod too?

[lucid iron]

i have made many mods yes

[tender badger]

niice! thanks for all the inputs :>

[fathom rapids]

ngl making maps is so fiddly. Shoutout to putting z at the start of tilesheet names so theyll sort properly alphabetically ☠️

[brave fable]

to be fair, it's not required anymore still, a whole lot of work goes into sculpting a world. it's not the sort of medium where you can use broad strokes anywhere

unrelated, surprised the game looks out for some item named Salt in the makePlural method to change into pieces of Salt

[dusky sail]

I think there's a sprite for salt in spring objects? probably one of those holdovers CA never deleted

[brave fable]

(in the same switch that tries to prevent creatures like Haies as plurals)

[hard fern]

Pieces of SAlt

ill find the salt

🤔 i dont reckon this is salt, is it?

[brave fable]

it's possible, i thought it was an existing mineral at first, but it's not shown on the wiki

[hollow belfry]

slay

i ended up creating the mod from scratch instead of using the mod that i found

x)

[hard fern]

i cant find anything vaguely salt shaped besides that lump

[royal stump]

I don't see any C# stuff that uses the sprite either, so probably that, yeah
(I thought it did for a sec, but the fish pond's gold bucket has the same coordinates )

[spice inlet]

Huh, turns out fish pond produce depends on tile position.
Kind of explains why debug dayupdate sometimes doesn't produce any produce, no matter how often you try.

Random r = Utility.CreateDaySaveRandom(base.tileX.Value * 1000, base.tileY.Value * 2000); ```

that solves the mystery of why fish ponds dont work in pif rooms. they do

[timid helm]

When making a map in tiled, if one of the vanilla tile sheets that you used got renamed, would it not function properly for people because they don’t have that file?

[fathom rapids]

so you can rename what it's called inside your map file freely, because it still references the same file lying in the same folder as it

[timid helm]

Do I need to change it in tiled to? Also do all the vanilla tile sheets need to be moved into the mod’s locations folder?

[fathom rapids]

ok so what you should do is have a separate folder (not in your mod's folder with content.json and stuff) that has (1) the map file you're working on, (2) all the tilesheets you need, copypasted from vanilla or from tilesheet mods you're making into dependencies. DO NOT rename the files in this folder (except your own, that's fine). However, when you open your file in tiled, you're free to rename the tilesheets inside it as you see fit

when you prepare your mod for release / use, put only the map file into your mod's folder. Do not put the tilesheets there.

like this

[timid helm]

Oh ok. Thanks. Should I call the folder with the tile sheets something specific?

[fathom rapids]

considering you're going to be copypasting the files out of there and it exists only as temporary storage, no.

If this folder's name shows up anywhere in your files, you've fucked up

[timid helm]

It’s only temporary? Sorry for all the questions, this is my first time making a location mod

[fathom rapids]

I mean, if you're going to be updating your mod, which you probably will, you will also be doing it in that folder, so it's going to stick around.

To be clear, I'm explaining how I find it convenient to do things, not The One True Way. You could just put the tilesheets in your mod folder and then delete them before zipping it up, it's just kind of. worse. imho.

[foggy marsh]

does anyone have an up to date guide for making events? i looked it up but i think most of them are outdated

[hard fern]

🤔 there's the wiki page for events on the stardew wiki, which covers stuff like preconditions and event commands, but also several guides about events on a separate stardew modding wiki

[stark spindle]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Event_data
https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Events_for_Everyone these were basically what i used to learn.

[foggy marsh]

thank you! that 2nd one is perfect

learning events is pretty much the last hurdle i have to completing this mod

[obtuse wigeon]

How do I acess map properties like warps after I've clicked on a tile layer? the only way I've found so far is closing tiled then re opening it

Nevermind, ignore me, I found it right after sending the message

[delicate smelt]

i wanna make a function,when a new year begins,reset all legendary fish to be able to catch,how to write the code?

[novel obsidian]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/13678 Updated an old little farm map of mine

[delicate smelt]

need help about this

[hard fern]

If nobody is around, all you can do is wait until someone who knows what to do comes online

[lucid iron]

are you in C# or CP

i think easiest way might be editing CatchLimit for the legendary fish and set it to the Year token

(can do this in C# too ofc)

[delicate smelt]

i use c#

[lucid iron]

the thing u need to edit is

Data/GameLocation > [location] > Fish > [the entry with IsBossFish=true and CatchLimit!=-1]

add Game1.year to it and it should work as desired

[golden basin]

how do i fix this bug?

does the id need to match the name of the texture??

oop i figured it out

also whos mushymato? are they in the server?

[unreal spoke]

It’s Chu.

[golden basin]

@lucid iron GRABS YOU

HAve you ever considered adding pet adoption options to your livestock menu?

[lucid iron]

it wouldn't go in the livestock menu but i did add a thing

[golden basin]

: O

[lucid iron]

i pinged u but let me find the message

[golden basin]

is it seperate from marnie?

[lucid iron]

this is in the 1.4.0 version on nexus

basically u make a normal shop, but use this in ItemId instead of PET_ADOPTION

then u can filter for ur pet and stuff, can also change currency

its not a lb shop just normal item (pet license) shop

[golden basin]

so they show in just a normal shop?

[lucid iron]

yep

[delicate smelt]

private void resetbossfish(object?sender,DayStartedEventArgs e){
if(Game1.dayOfMonth==1&&Game1.season==Season.Spring){

        }
    }

[lucid iron]

the lb shop is very specialized for farm animals

[golden basin]

oh cool, is there a way to make a combo shop like marnies ?

[lucid iron]

yea u can use the Bazaar data stuff

theres a field to put pet shop id

[delicate smelt]

this is my code,and i dont know what to write in this if

[golden basin]

ill hsve to look further into it

[lucid iron]

lmk if u need example

[golden basin]

i mean a example would be banger chu

[lucid iron]

i have a example for combo item + farm animal shop in buy all farm animals (island trader)

pet is kinda like that just different field to set

{
  "Action": "EditData",
  "Target": "mushymato.LivestockBazaar/Shops",
  "Entries": {
    "{{ModId}}_ClownCustomShop": {
      "PetShopId": "{{ModId}}_ClownCustomPetShop",
    }
  }
},

[lucid iron]

and then u make a normal Data/Shop that is a pet shop following the petshop.json example

[lucid iron]

does this make sense

[lucid iron]

again don't actually reset any state

just increase the catch limit by editing the data

i personally think if you have choice to make something happen by doing a data edit you should

[delicate smelt]

but i dont know the code of edit data......

[lucid iron]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/APIs/Content

remember to invalidate Data/Locations whenever the year changes

[golden basin]

not even a little bit im so sorry how to combin this stuff to make the shop have both the livestock option and the main shop option like marnies

[lucid iron]

which would be very infrequent really

[lucid iron]

when u do this and then you use the tile action mushymato.LivestockBazaar_Shop {{ModId}}_ClownCustomShop, you will get a dialogue menu

it will show adopt pet if you have generally unlocked pets at marnies

[golden basin]

where do i put the pet shop id???

like in the data

do i put it in place of petadoption?

[lucid iron]

if u wanna give me like 15mins ill give u a full combined example

[golden basin]

I would love that honestly because im not really getting it completely im very sorry

[delicate smelt]

need very much,lot of thanks

[lucid iron]

you will have to queue up behind clown sorry

[delicate smelt]

thats ok

[lucid iron]

tbh if i give u example it would be essentially the mod

i dont mind that much but are u sure u want that

[golden basin]

question

can i sell livestock and pets from the same shop? i just wanna make sure i clarified thats what i was curious about

like the way marnies is

[lucid iron]

yea

[golden basin]

okay cool i was confusing myself

[delicate smelt]

yes

[lucid iron]

u can have item shop + pet shop + animal shop

[golden basin]

ooooo

[lucid iron]

but for anything more you will need mmap's question dialogue to basically build it yourself

[golden basin]

YESSSSSSSS

Chu i did it, I understood your examples finally

[delicate smelt]

my logic is,when a new year begins,modify the players save,set the var of every boss fish is caught to false

[lucid iron]

the reason why u shouldnt do that is cus i think it affects perfection

to "uncatch" a fish

[obtuse wigeon]

Is there a way to include a mod list into a save? I have so many saves but I dont remember which mods are needed for that save, I ask this method instead of just including a txt file with the modlist because I switch between steamdeck and pc, and my pc gets wiped often so theres no guarentee that the txt would survive

[delicate smelt]

oh i didnt noticed this

[golden basin]

oop

[fossil osprey]

There's the shareable mod list mod, that could be an alternative: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/32609

You'd just need to save the link somewhere, even on a solo discord server

[obtuse wigeon]

That is an option, would make it easier than writing a script to save them to a file, but I'm more looking for something that actually embededs the modlist into the save game itself so I don't have to manage a seperate place where they're installed

[golden basin]

yay!

[obtuse wigeon]

Actually an alternative for this is using that mod and placing the modlist inside that actual savegame itself, as long as steam cloud uploads all files in the save and not just some

[iron ridge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/15682 lets you hover the save

[obtuse wigeon]

That is much closer to what I'm looking for, I'm gunna have a dig through the source to see if it saves this to a file acessed outside the game too (or a way to expand the "... and 302 more." section)

[lucid iron]

(you should probably ask in #modded-stardew in the future)

@delicate smelt https://github.com/Mushymato/StardewMods/blob/main/TheLegendReturns/ModEntry.cs

i didn't test this

besides doin quick patch export

this is very much a mod you can just do in content patcher however doing it in C# makes it compatible with modded legendary fish

[delicate smelt]

so the right logic is,when a new year begins,if player's boss fish catched count=upper limit,upper limit+1?

[lucid iron]

that's not how it works

1. do edit on Data/Location Fish

• find IsBossFish + CatchLimit>0
• set CatchLimit to original value + current year - 1
• the AssetRequested handler does this

2. whenever the year changes, Invalidate Data/Locations

• the DayEnding + DayStarted handlers do this part

u can take this and tweak it as long as your mod is also open source (per MPL-2.0 terms)

[fossil osprey]

Oh THAT is the mod that does this, I remember having this on one of my modlist but couldn't pinpoint the mod responsible for this

[spice agate]

Hello everyone. Making my first mod here. I am currently translating stardew valley to my native language Mongolian. But when I put some cryllic texts SDV is not recognizing ү, ө "letters". How do I change the formatting to UTF-8?

[iron ridge]

i believe you'd have to make your own font, this conversation may be helpful: #making-mods-general message

[gentle rose]

if it's just cyrillic, stardew already has a Russian font I think? if all the letters are the same

[spice agate]

Yes but the thing is Mongolian cryllic has 2 more letters than Russian cryllic 😅

[lucid iron]

Did you make a custom language

[gentle rose]

ah, I see

[spice agate]

Yes I am making a custom language mod

[lucid iron]

Like get Mongolian to appear on title screen

After you do that u can set fonts

[gentle rose]

good luck btw!

[spice agate]

Alright I am gonna try to change the fonts. Thanks

[delicate smelt]

ohhhh!i know how to write the code now!!!!!!

[lucid iron]

If it is just 2 more letters perhaps u can edit the russian font easily, im not sure how it work

[delicate smelt]

private void resetbossfish(object?sender,AssetRequestedEventArgs e){
if(Game1.dayOfMonth==1&&Game1.season==Season.Spring){
if(e.Name.IsEquivalentTo("Data/Locations")==true){

            }
        }
    }

this is my code part,its not finished

i dont know the code of editing the catch limit,and get player's boss fish catched count

[lucid iron]

Do u care about that

[lucid iron]

This rn just lets you catch 3 legends in year 3

But it does include the previous counts so you get +1 per year rather than +1 only if you have caught it this year

[delicate smelt]

this is fake code,the logic should be like this:
if player.a kind of boss fish catchcount==catch limit{
catch limit++;
}

[lucid iron]

Then the logic becomes more complicated since you will have to track this per player

I think it might work still? If u block AssetRequested behind Context.IsWorldReady then u should be able to use Game1.player.fishCaught in the data edit

[deep cypress]

Why does tile 183 on the beach tileset make a weird glitch animation (brown lines) when added to maps, despite having no animation on it in the tileset?

(Happens to any map I add it to...)

[brittle pasture]

is it one of the water tiles

[deep cypress]

is a rock tile, the top of the Lonely Rock.

[gentle rose]

is this in tiled or in the game?

if it's in the game there's a chance there's some hard coding shenanigans

[brittle pasture]

I see 183 in GameLocation.isTileUpperWaterBorder

though that doesnt seem used in draw logic

[mighty quest]

does the game have an italic font?

[stark spindle]

Is there a way to repeat a conversation topic or do I need to clear it out of the previousActiveDialogueEvents with c# first for it to work again?

or am i doing something dumb and that should work?

[delicate smelt]

i see it,thanks for your code

[gaunt orbit]

No

[mighty quest]

figured

[gaunt orbit]

If you really, really want italic text there are options. They're cursed but doable

You could use bmfont to get the raw layout data and render your own polygons with a tilt

You could also draw text the normal way but use a custom spritebatch with a skew matrix applied

[mighty quest]

nah not worth

do you know why mouse coordinates are different in render loop and button pressed event?

[gaunt orbit]

Ui has a separate viewport

With its own scale

Though if both are either outside or inside the ui handling then they should be the same

[mighty quest]

how do buttons detect clicks then?

[gaunt orbit]

Ui buttons or gamepad buttons?

[mighty quest]

ui buttons

I'm rendering a custom button, and trying to implement the click

[gaunt orbit]

IClickableMenu.recieveLeftClick or something like that, with ui scaling applied

[mighty quest]

right, but that is called in the update loop right

so the coordinates are different

[gaunt orbit]

It's called in the ui handling part yes

Are you using smapi events?

[mighty quest]

yes

[gaunt orbit]

Those are all called outside ui handling I think, except the renderstep for ui

What are you adding a button to?

[mighty quest]

dismiss summoned monsters

[gaunt orbit]

No I mean what menu? Or just on the hud?

[mighty quest]

Hud
I made a custom IClickableMenu just to inherit the gamepad logic for the buttons

but all the logic is custom right now

[gaunt orbit]

Hud is easy, just make a custom menu and add a ClickableComponent to it

[mighty quest]

ok that's what I'm doing
but i'm not setting this as the active menu

[gaunt orbit]

You'll have to do key inputs manually IIRC since the hud only accepts mouse

[gaunt orbit]

Game1 has a list of menus for the hud

Just add it to that and the game will handle most things

[mighty quest]

I'm detecting inputs manually with smapi events
just the mouse clicks are fudging up

[gaunt orbit]

Yeah don't do that, let the game handle mode input for hud stuff

You'll still have to handle key presses manually though

It's Game1.onScreenMenus

[mighty quest]

hmm

[gaunt orbit]

That will handle drawing and mouse for you as long as you override the usual methods

[mortal hatch]

im atm trying to make a custom farm, any tips from experience?

[gaunt orbit]

Are you looking for technical or creative advice?

[mortal hatch]

especially about abalancing

both

atm its 4 corners but with cliffs isntead of walls

making it look nicer

[gaunt orbit]

[[Modding:Farm_data]]

[empty radish]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Farm_data

[gaunt orbit]

That has a general overview of how to make a custom farm type

[mighty quest]

I`ll try this, thanks

[mortal hatch]

so when i save in Tiled, does it also save the reference tilesets pngs in the tmx file?

nvm it does

[uncut viper]

it doesnt save the pngs themselves. it saves the relative path to the pngs to know how to find them

[mighty quest]

So the drawing works, but I'm not hitting the receiveClick methods..

[mighty quest]

nvm got it

[keen seal]

How do you set up an Action Message for something on the Back layer? I’ve got some letters scattered on the floor that I’d like to have a string attached to but putting the TileData on the Back or Buildings layer doesn’t work

[urban patrol]

i think only touch action works on the back layer

why doesn’t buildings work?

[quartz mica]

hello everyone! I'm wanting to make a custom "texture pack" mod to change one of the hairstyles to be a custom one. how do I do this? I have zero experience in making sdv mods, so please be patient if I'm slow to understand.

[urban patrol]

are you trying to change the farmer hairstyle or an NPC?

[quartz mica]

farmer hairstyle

[urban patrol]

i believe you can do that with fashion sense, but unfortunately i personally have no experience with it. plenty of others do though!

[quartz mica]

I want it to work clientside, not adding an entirely new thing but just a reskin

if that makes sense?

I've done something similar with terraria texture packs

been a while though, so I'm rusty

[keen seal]

Figured it out! It wasn’t working because it needs there to be a tile on the Buildings layer for it to connect to 😅 which I wasn’t doing because I want those tiles to be passable

[finite willow]

think there's an action property

[keen seal]

but I remembered that the Passable tile property exists and just got it working

[urban patrol]

that’s exactly what i was going to suggest haha glad you figured it out!

[finite willow]

saw it before while scrapping the game map

[quartz mica]

my main hurdle is trying to get the hair texture itself that I want to replace (hair style 60, the low ponytail one)

[dire kestrel]

!unpack

[ocean sail]

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!

To use this command, type !unpack.

[dire kestrel]

should be in hairstyles.png

[quartz mica]

thank you! I was just about to ask about an asset unpacker lol

okay I unpacked all the stuff, now to find the hairstyle I wanna change lol

ah found it

[quartz mica]

now that I made my texture, how do I import it into a mod?

again, to replace the texture

[round timber]

you’ll want to look into Content Patcher

!startmodding

[ocean sail]

Making mods can be broadly divided into two categories:

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

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

To use this command, type !startmodding.

[cold marsh]

Is the highlighted dialogue key functionally useless? If you give a pendant to a NPC, you're engaged. There's no level lower than that.

[brittle ledge]

it's a default that covers if you don't have the more specific ones above it, I believe

[quartz mica]

[cold marsh]

Makes sense.

[hard fern]

it's for when you try and give your spouse another pendant i think

Probably not something many people see

Since well, you're already married

Oh wait

Im dumb lol i managed to miss the two keys above it

It's all the same thing anyways...

[calm nebula]

(Is it something that fires if you have a roommate?

[quartz mica]

I have. no idea what I'm doing!

does this look correct?

wasn't sure what to do for the update key so I just did z

[uncut viper]

dont do z, because it wont work

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/APIs/Manifest

[quartz mica]

what do I do then

[uncut viper]

that page will tell you how to make your manifest, including what to do about the UpdateKeys section in the section called "Update checks"

[quartz mica]

OH

I thought it was like. you press something for it to update. I may be stupid

I put the hairstyles png into this

is there anything else I need to do?

or is it ready to test?

[round timber]

do you have the content.json as well?

[quartz mica]

yup

[round timber]

should be good to go then

[quartz mica]

wait

no it's the uh

manifest

[round timber]

you need a content.json too, thats what tells the game to make your changes

[quartz mica]

hoo boy

here I go

[brittle ledge]

Oh, we do have a generic tutorial on replacing textures https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:_Replacing_an_Image

(I probably need to review that and make sure nothing's changed since 1.6 )

[quartz mica]

do I put the content.json into the base folder? or does it need to be in a different one?

[round timber]

it needs to be in the same area as the manifest

[quartz mica]

got it

just gotta figure out how to get it to replace hairstyle 60 specifically >.>

[round timber]

the link tia sent should answer that

[calm nebula]

Q: why replace?

It's incredibly easy to make new ones

[quartz mica]

I want it to work clientside

so I can use it in multiplayer without having to have others install it

now I just... need to figure out the dimensions.

[pine elbow]

Hey guys, is there anything that makes making custom character sprites easier\

[round timber]

format should be "2.7.0" and the target needs to be whatever the filepath of the original hair asset is in the game's content folder

[quartz mica]

oh

[hard fern]

Uh, what do you mean by "easier"

Like are you looking for a template?

[round timber]

Characters/Farmer/hairstyles2

[brittle ledge]

(I just fixed that in the tutorial )

[quartz mica]

like this?

[round timber]

nono

exactly what i wrote

the target is always going to be inside content anyway, so remove that and the stardew thing

[round timber]

yes

[quartz mica]

cool cool

test time?

[round timber]

yeah a template if not i can do the work

[latent mauve]

I think most of us just use the vanilla character sprites as a starting point and draw over or next to them.

[brittle ledge]

Void has an NPC sprite template for sale on their kofi!

[round timber]

isnt it their?

[quartz mica]

wuh

[round timber]

show the inside of your mod folder?

[quartz mica]

which part

[brittle ledge]

crap, you're right, fixed

[round timber]

the place you have your png

[brittle ledge]

shouldn't it be assets**/**hairstyles

[round timber]

its written as that in the content

[brittle ledge]

no, I'm just getting my slashes backwards, ignore me

[round timber]

so youll need to make a folder named assets and put the png in there

the folder should be on the same "level" as the jsons

like they appear next to each other

[quartz mica]

okie

sorry for being so confused and asking so many questions, I appreciate everyone's patience with me haha

[round timber]

no worries! we all have to start somewhere. no one is born a stardew modding expert

[quartz mica]

ughhh it's still not loading

there's no error in the log

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1105750346023833630/1391608912230219816/caption.gif

not actually super mad about it, just think the gif is funny

mildly peeved I suppose

[round timber]

can you do this dura?

[quartz mica]

gah barnacles

[round timber]

hm i think you are making a patch that is way way bigger than it needs to be

should only be the width and height of the hair you are patching

[quartz mica]

it appears to be that way yeah

I probably messed it up

well not probably, I definitely messed it up lol

it's hard to get the specific dimensions right when I don't know what they are

[urban patrol]

what art program do you use? you can usually view the dimensions of files that way

for example photoshop (which i use) has a ruler that can display pixel width and height at the top/side

[wanton pebble]

I... have had an epiphany after spending way too long looking at roommate code

Past me is an idiot

Game state queries can determine roommating an NPC, and we can use them as event preconditions

[round timber]

rectangular selection tools often have the width and height displayed also

[latent mauve]

each hairstyle in hairstyles2 is contained in a 3216px wide and 128px tall block, if that helps.

[quartz mica]

ahh

[latent mauve]

That block contains all the directions of the hairstyle. 🙂

[craggy goblet]

YAYY I MADE IT

lmao

[quartz mica]

might try one more time before I take a break, getting tired and my back pain is flaring up

yep it's still not working

this looks wrong and I know it's wrong but I don't know what I'm supposed to put here

wait I forgot to replace the y

will probably still be wrong thoughh

[urban patrol]

the width and height still look very large to me. are those the width and height of the entire image? that'll replace every hairstyle

[urban patrol]

as lily said here you probably want the width and height to be 32 and 128

[quartz mica]

oh

thought I had to pick a specific area from the entire sheet

[urban patrol]

yes, if you're just replacing one hairstyle

x/y/width/height are basically telling CP "start at these coordinates for the top left corner, and then look at a rectangle this wide and this tall"

[quartz mica]

still not working

is this even worth it lol

[round timber]

what are the x/y/width/height now?

[quartz mica]

if someone could just. tell me where to put what numbers

"FromArea": { "X": 32, "Y": 128, "Width": 32, "Height": 128 },
"ToArea": { "X": 32, "Y": 128, "Width": 32, "Height": 128 },

[urban patrol]

can you circle on hairstyles2 which one you're trying to replace?

[latent mauve]

How large is your source hairstyle image that you created?

[latent mauve]

Your X and Y are the coordinates where your hairstyle styles start, so those are likely wrong.

okay, your Y should be 0 then.

[quartz mica]

which one

[latent mauve]

the X and Y in ToArea is the top-left pixel coordinate of the rectangle you are attempting to replace.

and in FromArea, it's the top-left pixel coordinate of the rectangle you are attempting to paste into the image from your source file.

[raw oxide]

if you have some problem seeing it i suggest using tiled you make a png of your then in tiled you convert it in tile then you can have the index tile

hi when making a content patcher furniture is there a way to make the tv interactive ?

[quartz mica]

I need a break

[brittle pasture]

TVs are hardcoded currently unfortunately
that will change in 1.6.16 though

for now there's furniture framework

[latent mauve]

also, I made a slight error earlier, individual hairstyles in hairstyles 2 are 16 wide, not 32.

[quartz mica]

really tired and back pain is super bad rn

[round timber]

then take a break! the mod isnt going anywhere and ppl here will be happy to help u out when youre ready again

[raw oxide]

okay thanks i'll just wait

[quartz mica]

thank you

[latent mauve]

Yep, take a break for now

[quartz mica]

[wanton pebble]

Yeah, you're not on a time crunch or something. Let it go and later you'll suddenly have a eureka moment and be able to do things

Real fast - for GSQ, IS_FESTIVAL_DAY Target Town would be the easiest way to catch ONLY vanilla festival events, correct?

[quartz mica]

I love being able to add my own custom things into games, but sometimes the process of doing so feels like a unique form of torture due to my disabilities LOL

[latent mauve]

dura, ToArea will be X: 48, Y:0 for when you come back to it, I just checked it for you. ❤️

[quartz mica]

been there before with starbound modding >.>

ooooo

thank you!

[latent mauve]

can't give you the other one without knowing how big your custom hairstyle image is, but if it's just that one hairstyle as a separate image, then it's probably x: 0, y:0

[quartz mica]

I know I'll feel better once I get some rest and give my brain some cooldown time

[latent mauve]

yep, rest well!

[quartz mica]

I can maybe send the png later when I wake up? if that would help

[brittle pasture]

it will catch any active festivals registered through Data/Festivals/FestivalDates (e.g. RSV's two festivals)

[wanton pebble]

Hmmmmm

even with the target being Town?

[brittle pasture]

that'd limit to Town festivals yes

there are mods that add custom Town festivals too though

(I think?)

[finite ginkgo]

(IS_FESTIVAL_DAY checks a location context, not a specific location anyways)

[wanton pebble]

realistically it shouldn't catch passive festivals which is the main goal - I'll take the L on vanilla festivals in town otherwise

It shouldn't realistically alter this weird chicanery I'm doing by overhauling the preconditions of Date Night Redux out of nowhere

[brittle pasture]

ah yeah
I might dare say most locations use Default context so you'd catch basically all modded active festivals (re: Tedi)

[wanton pebble]

grumbles

I can go back to DayEvent but that feels... reductive

[brittle pasture]

if you really need to only consider vanilla festivals you can hardcode dates

[wanton pebble]

Nah, it's actually simpler if I have to do that I guess

!IS_EVENT

[brittle pasture]

IS_EVENT checks that you're actively participating in it

[wanton pebble]

points at !

but you're right

grumbles more

[calm nebula]

Why do valuable festivals matter

[wanton pebble]

I assume valuable is an autocorrect from vanilla

[calm nebula]

Yes

[wanton pebble]

So to answer that: If it's a festival anywhere, the block on festival dates goes up

In the current version of the mod, it just blocks RSV festivals and Pelican Town Potluck other than vanilla

So it's technically blocking more than just the vanilla festival days off, which means less date day possibilities, even if the areas are available

I'm trying not to cause too much regression on available days as I build this GSQ so I can catch a lot with this recode

And this is the simpler stuff that I can do until I finally feel tired enough to recharge with sleep for the weekend

tomorrow and sunday is fixing up fork three (written but I need to do all the positioning/event testing), adding extra switch events to the beginning of the Island date (so the drink choices actually matter) and then testing everything

All goes well, update releases Sunday or Monday

At the least I need to release an update soon - SpouseMusic is broken for Ridgeside and Adventurer's Guild Expanded, someone reported Krobus asked for a dance date which caused this recode chicanery, there's an issue with the gendering dialogue in the Saloon date, etc.

(Meant to say that early, but unfortunately I have a bad dryer right now and had to talk with the appliance place which is replacing the dryer, but I had to arrange a few things)

[twilit quest]

sighs Scope creep scope creep scope creep...

The tile property "Water: T" is supposed to make the water overlay appear, regardless of whether the tile is indoors, outdoors, mines, etc (as long as it's on the Back layer). Anyone know why the overlay might not be showing up when the above conditions are fulfilled? (This is supposed to apply when the property of all such tiles is changed in the tilesheet, not when using TileData to define a specific area.)

[wanton pebble]

Yeah, sorry, I'm answering my questions very quickly by reading. You can tell by the amount of messages I've deleted after figuring it out XD

[lucid iron]

Did u have map prop indoorwater

[twilit quest]

Hmm, no. I'll try that - I didn't think I needed it because a similar map (Sewer) doesn't have it as far as I can tell. Thank you!

[uncut viper]

thats bc Sewer is hardcoded for it

along with the submarine

[twilit quest]

Gotcha, I should have guessed

Nope, still not showing up, darn it

Map property IndoorWater is T, index property Water: T, back layer

Time to go check and see if anyone's done it on Nexus

[wanton pebble]

Button, you're here!

[brave fable]

is the idea here that you're changing the map tilesets only?

[wanton pebble]

I'm doing some simple coding right now so I don't overtax my brain and I'm checking out BETAS code for the spouse displeased compat for DNR

Would the following work or is my syntax using your stuff wrong:

//Saloon Date Consequence
                "{{ModId}}_SaloonDisappointed": {
                    "Id": "{{ModId}}_SaloonDisappointed",
                    "Trigger": "DayEnding",                
                    "Condition": "PLAYER_HAS_MAIL Current saloonDateAgree, !PLAYER_HAS_SEEN_EVENT Current 1116012",
                    "HostOnly": false, 
                    "Action": "Spiderbuttons.BETAS_WritePlayerModData DNRSaloon {{Date}}",
                },
                
                "{{ModId}}_SaloonDialogue": {
                    "Id": "{{ModId}}_SaloonDialogue",
                    "Trigger": "DayStarted",                
                    "Condition": "Spiderbuttons.BETAS_PLAYER_MOD_DATA Current DNRSaloon",
                    "HostOnly": false, 
                    "Action": "Spiderbuttons.BETAS_SetNewDialogue [Spiderbuttons.BETAS_PlayerModData DNRSaloon] \"{{i18n:SaloonDispleased}}\"",
                },

.... I just read a couple things

I know my syntax is wrong in a few areas, I see at least some issues

Spiderbuttons.BETAS_ needs to prefix on the actions, will edit above

[uncut viper]

did you still need a response after fixing that or was that the issue

or is this theorycrafting

[wanton pebble]

Theorycrafting

I have to triple check because I'd be duplicating this a lot

.... and I gotta write a removal patch too, because rrrrgh I'm just being a dunce tonight

[uncut viper]

what would {{Date}} resolve to?

[wanton pebble]

Date's the dynamic token for the date chosen by Date Night Redux

so if Abigail was the date, it'd resolve to Abigail

[uncut viper]

then yeah that all looks like it should at least do something. whether its the something you want is up to you though. it'll set Abigail's (for example) name in the moddata in the top and then give Abigail dialogue the next morning

[wanton pebble]

Perfect, that's exactly what I need

[uncut viper]

however do you plan on having NON displeased saloon dialogue?

[wanton pebble]

Nah, that's taken care of by end of date stuff

and this is configurable

[calm nebula]

Long time no see, bluebs!

[uncut viper]

then that seems fine

[wanton pebble]

Thank you! I'll cross reference, add the removal patch, and then mentally theorycraft how to handle the edge case of Saloon twice in a row

[uncut viper]

assuming nothing else writes to that same mod data key between the two trigger actions

[wanton pebble]

Nah. DNRSaloon shouldn't get hit by anything else since it should be a new key entirely

[uncut viper]

im also not 100% sure of the timing of when daily dialogue is loaded, so you may need to change DayStarted to MorningStarted

but you also may not. dunno

[wanton pebble]

Is MorningStarted from BETAS?

[uncut viper]

it is

[wanton pebble]

Then I'll use it for these!

[uncut viper]

its just slightly later than DayStarted

[wanton pebble]

Because the dialogue stuff needs BETAS anyway. The friendship loss is a separate trigger/patch

[restive slate]

Why can't I talk in a vc

[brave fable]

i mean you've never actually seen me

[valid folio]

Hi, quick question: how can I make my machines compatible with Automate?

[brittle pasture]

nothing

unless you're rolling bespoke C# code it should just work™

[brave fable]

hi! this channel is for making mods specifically. that said, you need to chat in the server for a while before you can speak in a VC. more info here: #roles message

[lucid iron]

There's some minor concerns i guess

[valid folio]

Oh awesome, thanks!

[lucid iron]

I remember grapes of ferngill had some 5 grape rules lower than 3 grape rules

[calm nebula]

People speak in vc here?

[lucid iron]

And so automate never pick em

[brittle pasture]

an alarming amount

[calm nebula]

I thought the only vc channel muted you so you could play music via YouTube

[wanton pebble]

surprisingly, the VCs do exist and you can speak in them, except Stardrop Saloon

[brittle pasture]

wouldn't that also cause problems for hand loading

[calm nebula]

There are other channels?

[wanton pebble]

Yep. You'd be at home in leah's-cabin

(Though that likely has voice)

[lucid iron]

Yeah hm what was the jank

It might have been like

Dehydrate generic dry 5 fruit was higher than dehydrate special grape 3 fruit

[opaque field]

silly question, how do you specify that a machine needs two different items to work? I need my cream cheese maker to require milk and vinegar

[brittle pasture]

AdditionalConsumedItems

[lucid iron]

If u had more than 5 u get generic

[brittle pasture]

that'd make it apply for every recipe

[opaque field]

ooh perfect ty

[brittle pasture]

look at the vanilla furnace for examples

note that you can't specify categories

only exact ids, so you can only use one type of milk

[opaque field]

okie, thank you 🙂

[brittle pasture]

(now if you want your fuel to be "any milk" instead of just "large milk" there's a certain mod for that)

[brave fable]

so when setting up water tiles, these conditions are checked:```cs
if ((isOutdoors.Value || HasMapPropertyWithValue("indoorWater") || this is Sewer || this is Submarine) && !(this is Desert))

from there, it just checks for a non-null value of `Water` on each `Back` tile, and if the value isn't `"I"` (for 'invisible') then you get a visible water tile.

the catch might be in your implementation; this happens in `loadMap` which is generally only called when the map is first loaded or its asset name changes

[opaque field]

it would probably simplify things if I could specify 'any milk' instead of having to make separate cream cheese and goat cream cheese recipes

oh! I have two published mods on Nexus, does that qualify me for the modauthor role?

[brittle pasture]

oh wait a second

your milk is the primary input right

[twilit quest]

Hmm, I'm loading the map, not patching it

[brittle pasture]

if so ignore everything I said regarding milk

[twilit quest]

This is for a cellar replacement

[brittle pasture]

(I thought it was also a fuel)

[twilit quest]

Crap, I think I capitalized IndoorWater instead of indoorWater

^_^;;;;;;;;;;;

[brittle pasture]

(primary inputs can use category/context tags)

[opaque field]

aha yeah milk is the primary input, and then I wanted it to require vinegar too for the lactic acid so is it still additionalconsumeditems?

[brittle pasture]

yes

[opaque field]

ok sweet

[brittle pasture]

I do think having separate cow cream cheese and goat cream cheese is a good idea

[brittle pasture]

yep, just ping Bouncer if you want to get started

[opaque field]

okie :3 hahah I DO want a reason to make sprites for both because tbr I love making cute little sprites

[wanton pebble]

so I may potentially be dumb

In what order do DayEnding trigger actions fire?

[devout otter]

Did something change that make DayStarted trigger doesn't work anymore on loading?

[uncut viper]

the order that you write them in

[wanton pebble]

Then yeah I'm an idiot. If I put the removal first, then that'll remove the current day's moddata, and then if a double saloon, it'll then write the new one

Thankfully I caught this three duplications in

[twilit quest]

SUCCESS! Thank you so much, @brave fable! That was incredibly helpful. ❤️ All because of one capitalized I instead of i ^_^;;;;

[opaque field]

ok stupid follow up question, how does one ping the bouncer?

[devout otter]

My DayStarted trigger fires if I sleep and immediately check it. But if I quit before checking and then load again into that day, it doesn't work anymore.

[uncut viper]

the game has not updated in nearly 7 months, so nothing has changed with triggers

its possible that whatever condition you are checking for does not pass until a save is already loaded

[devout otter]

                    "Id": "DolphINaF.ForestMice_Wizard.CatHaunting",    
                    "MarkActionApplied": false,                        
                    "Trigger": "DayStarted",
                    "Condition": "PLAYER_HAS_MAIL Current DolphINaF.ForestMice_Wizard.CatTrinket received, mushymato.TrinketTinker_ENABLED_TRINKET_COUNT DolphINaF.ForestMice_CatTrinket Current >0",                    
                    "Actions": [
                        "Spiderbuttons.BETAS_SetNewDialogue WizardMouse \"Mods/DolphINaF.ForestMice/Misc:Wizard.CatHaunting\" True",                            
                    ]
                },        ``` This should be a simple Flag condition, though.

I'll tinker with this some more...

[brittle pasture]

@outer glacier cheeto signal

[halcyon nest]

we gettin another Cheeto?

[opaque field]

I feel so silly, cheeto signal?

can figure out cream cheese maker but not a cheeto signal lmao

[brittle pasture]

twas a joke, I pinged bouncer myself

all you have to do is stay still for a followup

[torpid sparrow]

turn on the cheeto signal! cheeto in the sky

[opaque field]

okay 😄

Oh yeah u need a wiki account

oh! okay can go does

[lucid iron]

But wait for reply b4 u actually do the edit

[uncut viper]

is this patch behind a CP when condition?

[devout otter]

Yeah!

[uncut viper]

what is the condition?

[devout otter]

"When": {"Mouse": "Wizard"} whereas "Wizard" is randomly chosen.

[uncut viper]

is Mouse a config token or a dynamic token? if its dynamic then its probably that token thats not ready yet

[lucid mulch]

Patch summary should say

[devout otter]

The token does trigger, else the Wizard wouldn't appear to begin with. But probably indeed the problem of it not being ready yet when the Trigger should be checked.

[sturdy charm]

hii does anyone know how to make custom NPC work with the poly mod? 😭 im struggling so bad

[brittle pasture]

is this your own mod or someone else's

[lucid iron]

Which poly mod

[sturdy charm]

my own custom NPC and polyamorySweet

or if theres any custom NPC that works with the poly mod you know that i can refer to?

[brittle pasture]

why/how doesn't it work?

[wanton pebble]

There are multiple poly mods and all should automatically work with NPCs

[brittle pasture]

I don't think there's anything on your end to decide

[wanton pebble]

Free Love, the original, just got an update. Polyamory Sweet was the 1.6 version of it until it added new content to it. Polyamory by EnderTedi is a third, but it's more in beta right now

All three natively have a character work with them if they're datable.

it says the tilesheet directory has directory climbingg but thats literally how i do with my other maps zzz

i tried putting it out in /Maps too and it wont work either

[uncut viper]

this is just a tilesheet climbing error and not related to polyamoury at all

just need to fix it in your spouse patio

[sturdy charm]

umm how do i fix it

[uncut viper]

!tilesheetclimbing

[ocean sail]

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.

ok so in tiled i cant seem to edit it

still not sure how to fix my hair mod

either edit it in your text editor like the governor command says or wait for someone who knows how to easily fix it in tiled to tell you how because i dont

Did you embed the tsx

[sturdy charm]

how do i do that again (its been 8 months since i touched modding again)

OH

wait

[sturdy charm]

all this time it was just because of this

[quartz mica]

oh yea hang on

[sturdy charm]

ok so the tiles dont go all the way down, but as far as i know the usual spouse room size is 6x9 like how others are

i tried making it 6x10 but the game wouldnt register it

i tried adding penny's spouse room and its also like that

can i somehow fix this orrr its just how the game is?

[torpid sparrow]

no you should be able to add the spouse room correctly

send ur json?

!json

[ocean sail]

JSON is a standard format for machine-readable text files that's used by Stardew Valley mods.

If you need help with a JSON file, you can upload it to smapi.io/json to see automatic validation and share the link here.

When making mods, it's recommended to edit your files in a text editor with JSON support, such as VS Code, Notepad++, or Sublime Text. These programs will check for syntax errors.

To use this command, type !json.

[sturdy charm]

content.json?

[torpid sparrow]

wherever ur patching in the spouse room

it'll be wherever your npc data is i think

[sturdy charm]

its just this right..?

[torpid sparrow]

no i think u set ur spouse room under ur npc

so wherever you manifested the npc and put in all their details

possibly in ur content although idk how you set ur folder up ofc xd

[quartz mica]

yeah hair 60 isn't showing the one I want

[sturdy charm]

AHHHH

I SEE

ty!!!

[torpid sparrow]

did u see the mistake cause i didnt do anything yet

[quartz mica]

there's no errors showing up, so it seems to just be loading the wrong hair

[sturdy charm]

i thought it was only that one in the content.json file i had to edit

but there was anothehr one in the npc file

[torpid sparrow]

Like one that looks like this?

"SpouseRoom": {
"MapAsset": "PeetaSpouseRoom",
"MapSourceRect": {
"X": 0,
"Y": 0,
"Width": 6,
"Height": 9
}
},

[sturdy charm]

hopefully it works O_o

yeah!

[torpid sparrow]

cause thats what i was thinking

yus

[sturdy charm]

i totally forgot that existed

[torpid sparrow]

yeah sometimes if i havent done the map yet i put placeholder and then i forget

[uncut viper]

if the edited hairstyles png you sent earlier is exactly the same as the file in your mod, then your FromArea is wrong. it should match yoyr ToArea in this case

also hairs are only 16 wide

[quartz mica]

I don't know what the dimensions are where I need to make it show up

[uncut viper]

you look at the pixel coordinates in your image editor. but as said, it should match your ToArea in this case

your ToArea is correct

[latent mauve]

[twin wadi]

To use this command, type !log.

[uncut viper]

i have already given them the info they need, the log will not help here as it is a json error

[twin wadi]

oh nvm sry didnt see your msg

[quartz mica]

man.

[uncut viper]

is the png you sent earlier the one you are using? and did you change 32 to 16 for the width?

[quartz mica]

well... I'm trying to use that png

nothing I'm doing is working

[latent mauve]

lemme scroll up to see the png, but it did look larger than the default even

[uncut viper]

i have it and the original open and they are the same size (idk why the original is so tall)

[quartz mica]

the dimensions I was given earlier to use load the wrong hair.

[latent mauve]

well, based on the grid, the new hair is not aligned right on the sides (there's a pixel that goes over)

I corrected earlier, the 32 should be 16 for width.

16x128 is for one hair style with all four sides.

I'd said the wrong thing earlier, which is why I spoke up about it once I realized. ❤️

[uncut viper]

a stray pixel being one line over isnt ideal but it shouldnt prevent the entire hair from loading, all else being equal/correct

[latent mauve]

coordinates for FromArea should be X:48, Y:0

[uncut viper]

(i actually cant even find when hairstyles2 is even loaded in the decompile)

[latent mauve]

okay, so you only changed the 32 to 16 in one spot

Need to change it for both FromArea and ToArea

(That error says your FromArea rectangle is 32 wide while your ToArea is only 16 wide, so it can't load the space properly)

[quartz mica]

pros: it now loads in

cons: it's ugly

[twin wadi]

not ugly at all! it looks rly nice

[latent mauve]

Well, now you can tweak the art if you want and it'll update as soon as you change the PNG in your mod folder. xD

and after you do a patch reload if you're not reopening the game between checks

[quartz mica]

wait how

[uncut viper]

(i also think it looks quite nice)

[latent mauve]

Hair is really tricky tbh because the shading is hard to visualize when it's all grayscaled for dyeability.

I think you did a good job with it

[torpid sparrow]

in your smapi console, type patch reload yourmodid

[quartz mica]

o

I may redo the sprite a lil, make it fit into the width n stuff

[gaunt orbit]

I think it's cute!

[quartz mica]

[gaunt orbit]

God it's so inspiring to see someone making a custom farm type as their first mod. Modding has come so far. I remember the days when custom farm types basically didn't exist and modding seemed so much more arcane

It's really heartwarming to see how modding has been embraced since 1.6, between the code changes, new modders, wiki contributions, and just generally how creative and enthusiastic everyone has been

[floral stratus]

Mod looks pretty sweet! I love mods that keep track of stuff like this for you

[normal rain]

I really wanted a mod like this for myself and am honestly surprised nobody else did it already.

[floral stratus]

I just came back after 5 years, worried that the community would be too cliquish and the modding would have evolved to be much harder than the content packs I used to make.

I was totally wrong. Everyone's so welcoming and CP has made content packs so much easier.

[floral stratus]

Any chance you're thinking of doing one for recipes? Showing what ingredients are in season and such?

[golden basin]

I made a custom wedding event and now for some reason its nto showing any weddings at all

[brave fable]

it's definitely a good endorsement of the accessibility of new farm types when even the new official Meadowlands farm is using the modded additional farms approach

mmmmm. data models and exposed assets

[tiny zealot]

make sure you didn't accidentally clobber the vanilla data (patch export)

[brittle pasture]

well except for the preplaced building

[brave fable]

such arcaneries are beyond simple data frfr.

[golden basin]

I did and Im trying to fix it replaced it with the npc name like i was supposed to now its not showing any event

https://smapi.io/json/none/66b8312db816459fae7af4677f76f6fa

im also getting no errors, heres my script

[tiny zealot]

     "Entries": {
        "EventScript": {
          "FC.Lyell": "..."
        },```
this clobbers the vanilla script (and any other scripts added by other mods earlier in the patch order)

you need TargetField

[golden basin]

target feild?

[brittle pasture]

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/stable/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/action-editdata.md#target-field

[lucid iron]

-# pathos TODO.txt

[brittle pasture]

you'll need two patches, one targeting EventScript and the other targeting Attendees

[golden basin]

fixed it

im a silly billy thankyou both

[brittle pasture]

note that you're also overwriting the vanilla positioning for the NPCs

[tiny zealot]

it deeply stinks that you can easily add your own script(s) but Attendees is singular and shared globally with all scripts

[gentle rose]

time to ask for a .16 update? /hj

[tiny zealot]

you can just slam the npc positions into your custom script and not use [SetupContextualWeddingAttendees] but blech

[golden basin]

wait is that true cause...hold one

nah not true?

its fine the way i wrote it i just needed a target feild like yall said

[brittle pasture]

weird, by all accounts marnie should be offscreen

[golden basin]

ooo in my event they are missing

[tiny zealot]

if you put that whole patch under a TargetField i would guess you added a new Attendees in a place the game doesn't see it

[brittle pasture]

yeah your Attendees patch are not applying

[golden basin]

so...whats that look like? a attendees patch?

[quartz mica]

bababooey

[brittle pasture]

mostly same as whatever you did for EventScript

Attendees and EventScript are on the same level

[torpid sparrow]

super cute!

[golden basin]

  }
  },```

like so?

[calm nebula]

Well, isn't code data in its own way

[brittle pasture]

yep (overwriting the vanilla positioning notwithstanding)

[calm nebula]

It's all information

[brittle pasture]

hmm, what happens if an NPC's starting position is initialized twice in the event script?

[uncut viper]

that wont remove NPCs you dont want to attend that attend vanilla ones

[brittle pasture]

(I'm thinking if there's a way to get around the fact that all wedding scripts share the same Attendees list)

[calm nebula]

Clones probably

[uncut viper]

an NPC initialized twice overwrites the initial positioning

[uncut viper]

and movement controller

[calm nebula]

Elliott and his twin

[golden basin]

hell yeah

[brittle pasture]

ok now check the vanilla wedding again

[calm nebula]

Fun fact: there used two be two Elliott in

[brittle pasture]

if I'm right all of those NPCs will be missing (technically not missing but they'll be offscreen)

[calm nebula]

The spring festival

[golden basin]

yeah they are

how do i make that not happen?

or do they all hAVE to be there

[uncut viper]

send a mail flag when someone is getting engaged to your NPC and use that to conditionally patch the weddings, then remove the mail flag after

[brittle pasture]

yeah that seems the cleanest way
another thing I was thinking is instead of overwriting the vanilla entries add new entries for those NPCs, conditioned on them being on the beach

[golden basin]

so if i put everyone there would it be fixed

[uncut viper]

that other way seems bad for mod compatibility

[brittle pasture]

how about conditioned on being married/engaged to Lyell

[golden basin]

or can i place them like regular actors

[uncut viper]

you'd be unable to check if the actively-getting-married person is getting engaged/married

if i marry Lyell, then someone else marries someone else later, i will still be married to Lyell and that condition will be true

then we will be seeing different weddings

where mine will be messed up

also, the other farmhand would see a messed up version of my wedding

bc they would not be married or engaged to lyell

[brittle pasture]

even with Target farmer?

[uncut viper]

i do not know which farmer is used as the target in a wedding attendee condition

[gaunt orbit]

I've figured out how to embed files into a dll, do you think it would be bad to do that for json data in c# mods

[uncut viper]

yes

[brittle pasture]

a farmer is being passed into the context, which I'm presuming is the player being married

[gaunt orbit]

Why?

[uncut viper]

then it may work, though i still think a mail flag is cleaner

[uncut viper]

harder for someone to read the json data for no benefit

read or edit

[brittle pasture]

oh yeah I agree, I'm just stormbraining for the heck of it

[brittle pasture]

this might be cleanest imo

(placing actors yourself I mean)

[gaunt orbit]

Read I can see, though if the source is visible that seems like less of a problem. And making it harder to edit is a benefit of editing risks breaking things, or the data is meant to be used internally

Ideally public data should be run through the asset pipeline anyways

Though you are right that there's no other benefit

[uncut viper]

i dont find that a benefit

[golden basin]

SUCCESS

added them as temp actors

[uncut viper]

i dont think being unable to edit a mod becomes a benefit just bc editing it can break it, bc thats literally always true of any mod. if someone changes the files and it breaks, then thats that

you dont need to have unembedded json data for that to happen

"leave the files as is" is the default

otherwise, you may as well start minimizing and obfuscating your jsons

[golden basin]

why would you wanna edit someone elses mod anyway?

[uncut viper]

why not? i downloaded it, its on my computer, there's no reason i shouldnt

have you seen how many people come in here asking for help with personal edits

[brave fable]

i expose as much as i can to be editable, whether or not it's actually useful. maybe someone wants to edit my values to be wildly different, maybe it'll be useful for someone sometime

if they edit it and it breaks, it's on them, they know what they did, and it's easy to reset

[gaunt orbit]

That's fair

[golden basin]

does that change how the creator intended the experience to be though? wouldnt you want like people to experience your work the first away as you originally wrote it

[uncut viper]

why would you want to edit someone elses game?

[gaunt orbit]

I guess I'd rather people edit things using separate cp packs since that seems more reliable and easier to debug

[uncut viper]

does that not change how ConcernedApe intended the experience to be?

[golden basin]

Thats true actually i didnt think of that

[gaunt orbit]

As opposed to editing files directly which is sorta like the old horrible xnb modding

[golden basin]

but usually the idea is to play it through vanilla first time isnt it?

[brave fable]

i mean that's your idea

[cloud pumice]

sorry to pop in, there would be a difference if ConcernedApe gave explicit permission

(i apologize for the missing pfp i don’t know what to make it lol)

[uncut viper]

once someone has downloaded my mod, how they experience it is no longer my business

i provided them with a default and if they want to change it, they can change it, if they know how to

(bug reports notwithstanding of course.)

[gaunt orbit]

I don't mind people tinkering with stuff but I don't want them coming to me expecting tech support when they screw with internal stuff, or an update changes the format and their personal edits explode

For public data, sure, I'll handle that, but if you got your hands in the guts you void the warranty

[uncut viper]

imo, if you dont want something to be readable or editable, then json is the wrong format for you in the first place

[golden basin]

I didnt mean to start any arguements I was just curious

[gaunt orbit]

Probably, but it's easier to maintain than hardcoded dictionaries glued into a class somewhere

[uncut viper]

i dont think anyones arguing here, just talking (at least i hope no one considers this an argument?)

is it though?

[golden basin]

I may be misreading tone then, I struggle with tone sometimes though

[gaunt orbit]

I don't consider it an argument! I opened the question because it's something I hadn't seen discussed and I was curious how people felt about it and why

[golden basin]

I honestly have a lot to say on the matter? but I am unable to find words

[uncut viper]

and is maintaining that harder than maintaining your csproj setup to embed these files and then read from these files

when you could instead just make a MyCustomClass with the right fields already

[gaunt orbit]

I think there's definitely an argument for that, it just feels icky to me.

[tender bloom]

I tend to agree w wren that if you mess around you shouldn’t put that on the original author

[gaunt orbit]

Embedding files is pretty easy actually

[uncut viper]

to me thats still an entirely different argument and circumstances

[tender bloom]

But I do edit mods for balance or compat

To my personal taste

[uncut viper]

i can already decompile, edit, and recompile your mods and come to you with bug reports

[tender bloom]

I don’t read my bug reports 😈

(Joking but also kinda true)

[gaunt orbit]

I'll just keep doing what I've been doing and block people who do that

Keep the files public for everyone else

[golden basin]

I think it's disrespectful to edit art to be within your personal taste? And modding is an art form in my eyes. So when I hear people make personal edits it feels a little insulting? I understand if understaand if it's for balance, compact and if you have suggestions you wanna offer? But I don't know, it feels like a statement of "your work isnt good enough let me fix it" but that could be my misreading of tone

[uncut viper]

you are already editing art to be withiny our personal taste

you are a modder

is ConcernedApe not entitled to his game being considered his own art?

[golden basin]

He has given permission

there is a big difference

if he was asking people to stop I would stop

[cloud pumice]

permission is key

[royal stump]

fwiw, I've got some optional json files in my mods that people shouldn't touch, but I don't recall ever once running into a report caused by people messing with them
(it helps that the main one regenerates if they delete it, though)

[golden basin]

And he is different from a company too, indie developers deserve a little more respect in this reguard they are not factories like main stream gaming companies

[uncut viper]

im not gonna poke the point too much but i do think with a super popular and easily moddable (even before it was officially supported) game you don't really have the option of just saying "dont mod it" because people just... will, so im not gonna say i know CA's entire thoughts ofc but i dont think that decision can be made entirely unbiased

[tender bloom]

I do feel like when you make personal art edits it’s weirder to show things to the original author

Like i definitely wouldn’t tweet CA or w/e with my mods that edit the NPC hair color

[torpid sparrow]

I would agree with that. I don't like the idea of people editing my art specifically but if it's what theyre going to do dont tell me

[golden basin]

That's actually a fair point

[torpid sparrow]

I cant control it either way

[uncut viper]

i wouldnt show the original author my edits either unless they asked, but i wouldnt find it disrespectful if someone tweaked my mod on their own

[golden basin]

honestly I dont mind people editing my work if they ask first? Maybe id make it canon 😄

[tender bloom]

And there are also some art edits that can be hurtful/controversial, so I can see why mod authors wouldn’t want it in general

[uncut viper]

obviously i would like people to enjoy the things i make as i made them, but if they dont enjoy them as i make them, but do enjoy them if they tweak them just a bit, and keep it to themselves, then to me thats better than them not enjoying it at all

[brave fable]

i don't much see the idea of blocking personal or public art edits. i get a message a week about someone wanting to recolour my art/ui, they all get a green light. we're a modding scene, it teaches people modding, it gets people involved, i'm fine with it

[tender bloom]

There are some edits I feel more ok with like not showing the author directly but having it visible publicly

[gaunt orbit]

Modding falls under fair use I think, so you can't actually stop people from modding, though companies have tried

[tender bloom]

The main thing that would make me uncomfortable is people making any NPCs I might make more sexualized

[torpid sparrow]

i think a full alternate portrait is fine with me but editing my art directly is the point that i would say is unacceptable for me personally (thats the closest to ui recolor for me)

[tender bloom]

Like it’s not necessarily bad but it makes me personally uncomfy

[uncut viper]

i dont think all the redistributing of vanilla assets is fair use

[brave fable]

if the original artwork is fair game, i don't see why mine is any more sacred

[uncut viper]

if its fair use to redistribute vanilla assets for the purpose of modding, then surely it would be fair use to redistribute bits of mine for the purpose of modding my mod

[golden basin]

Youve a right to your work blueberry : (

[uncut viper]

but i dont think many people here would say thats okay

[gaunt orbit]

I don't mind edits as a rule, but I do think it's somewhat insulting when it's marketed as a fix or improvement, or it's some incremental feature that could easily have been added/changed if requested

Bc then it's kind of like "Well why didn't you just ask"

[uncut viper]

to be clear i also 100% agree when its posited as an improvement in some regard

[tender bloom]

Yeah, that’s also true. If it’s “Better Portraits” that feels way worse than “Some Different Style Portraits”

[golden basin]

hmm its a complex issue isnt it?

[uncut viper]

i have asked people to not make edits of my mods before bc they named it something like "[my mod] but cuter" which felt rude

[torpid sparrow]

oh thats wild

[brittle ledge]

that's why my Jio marriage pack is "Alternate" even if I feel like it's "better" (that's why I wrote it), rude to yuck on the folks that like the original

[brave fable]

branching instead of merging is a whole thing in itself really, but i'd lean more into reasons of convenience/simplicity for merging over branching

[torpid sparrow]

although i guess the same could be said for every "but cuter" mod for vanilla

[tender bloom]

I also kind of feel like I’m not very good at portraits so if I do ever release my mod w NPCs I’d be happy to have people make alternate portraits

[gaunt orbit]

...maybe I will rename better beehouses

That feels somewhat hypocritical now

[brave fable]

Different Beehouses (to your preference)

[brittle ledge]

It's already got name recognition

[tender bloom]

“More Powerful Beehouses”?

[gaunt orbit]

Configurable Beehouses is probably a more accurate name anyways

[calm nebula]

Hi bluebs! How do I check my jukebox hours

[gaunt orbit]

[golden basin]

I think maybe my sensitivity to people editing my work might be because ive been bullied about my art so much tbh?

[gaunt orbit]

You're not wrong

[round timber]

ask boncher

[brittle ledge]

There's tons of "better" mods out there, but tbh I mind it less with stuff like QoL/mechanical improvements

[torpid sparrow]

Personally i dont think this is a conversation that has to apply equally to everyone. You're still entitled to how you feel and how you want your art to be distributed

[brittle ledge]

vs. something like art that's subjective

[brave fable]

well this is a trick see, since they wouldn't have made it if it weren't better to them in some way. nobody's going out of their way to make SVE Portraits But Worse (The Originals Are Better)

[tender bloom]

I do feel like for functionality stuff better at least implies some direction in the change, like “Better Beehouses” would make me think it makes more honey, different honey, etc

[golden basin]

thanks wem thats really nice of you

[brittle pasture]

I'm proud to say I've never used "Better" to market my mod. I have, however, used "Immersive", which is arguably even more shameful

[golden basin]

personally I still dont care as long as im just asked first

[uncut viper]

the difference is that a simple "Better Portraits" is acting as an objective statement for a subjective subject matter

[calm nebula]

Brb, making "slightly worse controls"

[golden basin]

I even let people use my assets freely if they just ask

[calm nebula]

It just flips the controls randomly

[gaunt orbit]

Tbf it started out as a simple tweak mod meant to fill in some of the "gaps" that beehouses had

[golden basin]

mod that gives your farmer just a larger head by two pixels

better farmer

[gaunt orbit]

Though Beehouse Tweaks still would've been a better name

Fuck

[royal stump]

I ended up with multiple "custom X" and one "X settings"

[calm nebula]

I ended up with two dozen pairs of handknit socks

[uncut viper]

Bweaks

[royal stump]

or just an actual descriptive adjective for w/e it does

[torpid sparrow]

tack on "For Me"

Better Beehouse (For Me)

[tawdry warren]

How do I get the Mod Author role?

[uncut viper]

have you publisheda mod?

[tawdry warren]

yeah

[brave fable]

IMO Better Beehouses

[tender bloom]

You need a certain number of levels here and a mod published

[torpid sparrow]

Get to farmer rank

[gaunt orbit]

It's mentioned in the roles channel!

[uncut viper]

are you level 25. i forget colours

[round timber]

(no)

[calm nebula]

Vaguely Different Portraits

[round timber]

youll have to chat a bit more and reach Farmer

[calm nebula]

Slight Change In Hoe Mechanics

[tender bloom]

“Subtly Ominous Portraits, Spot the Difference”

[gaunt orbit]

Make a Better Than Junimos mod and piss off everyone

[round timber]

this makes me think of Break the Bass

[brittle ledge]

damn, realized I missed my chance, I could've had Better Writer Elliott

[uncut viper]

"Beehouses, Salted to Taste"

[tender bloom]

For a minute I thought I had made Better Rarecrows and then I realized I called them Deluxe Rarecrows

[torpid sparrow]

Portraits Only I Want But Maybe You Do Too

[royal stump]

(is there a "take constant damage around beehouses" mod? )

[tender bloom]

Which is clearly a better name so I’m glad my past self was more sensible than my current self

[tawdry warren]

idk why I left this server, used to be in here years ago. guess I'll just let people stumble across the mod update. don't have a reason to spam chat to try and get farmer just so I can get a role

[tender bloom]

Bee Allergies mod!

[gaunt orbit]

Can always do the classic <name>'s <thing>

[torpid sparrow]

true that is the most efficient

[brave fable]

blueberrees blue berrer bees

[brittle ledge]

Bee paths could, I think

[round timber]

you can still post the mod! and you can even have an orange post showcase it for you

[gaunt orbit]

Or <name>'s <adjective> <thing> if you're feeling spicy

[tender bloom]

When I fix More Prismatic Stardew clearly I should also rename it to Better Stardew Because Everyone Wants Rainbows

[uncut viper]

my second first mod is <name>'s <adjective> <thing>

[torpid sparrow]

Whose extra books? Button's

[brittle ledge]

shame there's no orange names in here

[round timber]

where are the oranges....

so sad...
