Wait
Am I dumb

[latent mauve]

Cursors.png is located in LooseSprites

[stuck thunder]

I am dumb

I just found it

[round timber]

not dumb, just learning!

[stuck thunder]

Thanks :3

[tender bloom]

we all learn the depths of cursors one way or another

[ornate locust]

Hey so does anyone know why a move (not an advanced move, a normal move) would fire twice in a row even though it's just once in an event?

https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/7f1de63d1d1a46ceb945b1505f0ee732
Second to the last event. There is a single command to make Bill walk and then look left. he walks, looks left for a split second, then walks again and looks left and then the event continues

It worked fine on a previous test, but the farmer walked twice as far as they should, which I seem to have fixed. I THOUGHT I just set the farmer to walk too far, so I lowered the number, but now I am worried it was doing the same thing

The farmer didn't face a different direction at the end, so it really could have just been running the farmer's movement twice

and I can't even hypothetically understand why

[latent mauve]

If you add a /faceDirection after the move to force a longer look left, does the movement duplication stop?

[ornate locust]

I can sure try it

Nope

He does a split second look left down by Shane and then continues on into the building and finally stops looking left

The farmer walking on the X axis worked fine too, it's the Y that seemed to mess up

Oh hey Shane also doubles his movement on the X axis in my other event, kill me

but not the Y axis!

WHY.

makes a bunch of random changes to where pauses happen well, KICKING IT REPEATEDLY hasn't fixed it

[hard fern]

events cursed again

[ornate locust]

If I can't get "take one step" to work, how am I getting anything else to work

[latent mauve]

Are both events on the same map?

I wonder if you can replicate the behavior on a vanilla map, or if you are somehow getting collision-based weirdness

[ornate locust]

Yeah, the main town map

it is the vanilla town map

I put a new building in it, but it's... it's just the town

[latent mauve]

But not a vanilla building, you patched it

So it could still be collision from your patch maybe

[ornate locust]

What am I colliding with though? I'm just walking in a space that is also open ground in the vanilla map

[latent mauve]

No chance of any invis tiles on a building layer where they are walking?

[ornate locust]

That's something I can check at least

But it's been working for a while now and I ran over every inch of it to make sure I could walk over the path and such

[latent mauve]

If that's not it then I unfortunately have no other ideas

[ornate locust]

There's a chance the X axis one is too close to the building, but the other one sure isn't

[latent mauve]

I just remember that move commands behave VERY weirdly if you accidentally path a NPC into a wall with the move command

[ornate locust]

Yeah nah, it's all clear

Loaded in and walked all over the area

[latent mauve]

Hmm

And you said you had already tried lowering the number of steps

[urban patrol]

i’ve had NPCs walk farther than intended when only moving them one tile

[ornate locust]

I did. But since it's doubling the movement, I get this weird turn in the middle even if I just halve d it

The problem is, it's doing it on a one tile move AND a like... five tile move

[urban patrol]

cursèd indeed hmmm

[ornate locust]

god I've got five heart events to go after that, why is event making soul-crushing

[latent mauve]

Does it happen with advancedMove?

[urban patrol]

have you tried adding a pause after the move

[ornate locust]

There is a pause after the move

And I don't know, because I haven't used advanced moves before, but I guess making ALL OF THE MOVEMENT advanced moves is gonna be next on my list after looking at the code doesn't make me want to die

[latent mauve]

I saw a speak immediately after the move, not a pause, unless I read the wrong event

[ornate locust]

Well I've edited it like five times since then trying to figure out anything to help, sorry

But putting a pause there was one of the attempts

[latent mauve]

Haha, no worries

[ornate locust]

and it didn't work

Was just throwing anything I could htink of at the wall and seeing if it stuck

[ornate locust]

If anyone figures out what's broken in my stuff, ping me. I'll get to it tomorrow.

[dusty scarab]

Hey, is there any simple way I can retrieve a player's vanilla save data specifically hair color if possible in a relatively simple way? I've looked through both Content and Data and I can't seem to find a way to access the save file using a c# mod

[lucid mulch]

Game1.player.hairstyleColor.Value

[dusty scarab]

guess I'm blind, is there any list or a wiki that has all of these values?

also thanks you!

[brave fable]

have you decompiled the game code? you'll find all player properties in the Farmer class

[subtle galleon]

Hi everyone ! I joined a group of french translators yesterday and we thought that a glossary of translation (for items/locations…) would be cool to have.

Do you know if something like this exist ?

I know that there’s the official and mods wiki for quick reference but having a unifying tool would be better, I think.

Something like this.

[gentle rose]

isn't that just what the vanilla and mod i18n files are for? and the bonus points are that they're always up to date

the wikis reference the official files for everything anyway

the one possible drawback is that mods and vanilla are in separate files but that's also kind of a good thing since different translators work on different mods and there may be multiple things with similar names in different mods that have been translated differently

[lucid mulch]

trying to list everything would be to pretty much be the codebase anyway, but as blueberry said, having a decompiled codebase or using ILSpy and exploring is everything you would need.

In terms of "players vanilla save data", everything in the SaveGameInfo file will be on the farmer instance (Game1.player) and when viewing the property list, the xml attributes on the properties will say how it maps back to the xml file, though its pretty much 1:1 mapped with same names for most cases anyway

[dusky sail]

A centralized translation spreadsheet sounds cool in theory, but it'd be incredibly hard to keep it up to date and including everything. I don't think one exists right now

When ive done translation work i just keep any relevant i18ns open on the side to reference

[hard fern]

Mmm yeah it would be hard 🤔

[nova ember]

can u get money by making stardew mods?? like on mexus mods do they get money from it??

[gentle rose]

barely any

even for the big modders

[nova ember]

ohh ok thnx

[gentle rose]

nobody is making a living off of it

[lucid mulch]

with the possible exception of flashshifter

but in general, its a hobby not a job

and trying to turn a hobby into a job is dangerous

[gentle rose]

who is literally like, top two most popular mod authors in sdv

[lucid mulch]

Pathos also does to an extent, but Pathos also has some of the largest costs in the space and not 100% if he even breaks even

[subtle galleon]

That’s the drawback for us. We try as a group to unify the translation. To give an exemple, I make the french translation for More Warp, which in its recent update, include Sunberry’s Warp. I don’t play this mod so I don’t know what are the locations mentionned. But Mazoout translated Sunberry so using the same references would be more accurate. Otherwise, maybe I will translate something different. (maybe she will call an inn "Inn A" and i will call the same location "Hotel A").

And we don’t want to open each mod and each file to verify what’s the name for THIS object or THIS location. Having a glossary would be much easier for us.

[gentle rose]

but some mods are inevitably going to be translated by other people. The correct solution in stardew is always to just check the actual files tbh. Most mods have a single translation file per language anyway

[uncut viper]

I mean that sounds like somethin that'd be useful within your translator group then but probably not applicable to the wider Stardew modding discord

[vital lotus]

with CP, is there way to track if player owned certain items? want to send letter after some items r owned (like deluxe scarecrow from the scarecrow society)

[dusky sail]

You can still make the glossary, no one can stop you from doing that, we're just saying why it doesn't already exist

[subtle galleon]

Ok, I thought that asking would be better anyway. I see your points but I’ll try to make this glossary, at least for our group.

And maybe, in a second time, if it is working and some translators in other language are interested of it, will propose it.

[gentle rose]

it might kind of depend what kind of item?

I wonder how the deluxe scarecrow one is done

[uncut viper]

you've got repo access don't you. why wonder when you can receive knowledge

[subtle galleon]

Thank you for your answers ;).

[gentle rose]

because github search is being mean to me and I don't want to get up to my computer

[lucid mulch]

ilspy is my best friend

[uncut viper]

don't look at me I'm on mobile

[gentle rose]

I don't think it's android compatible unfortunately

[lucid iron]

Amen

[lucid mulch]

Farmer.dayUpdate()

    if (Game1.random.NextDouble() < 0.905 && !this.hasOrWillReceiveMail("RarecrowSociety") && Utility.doesItemExistAnywhere("(BC)136") && Utility.doesItemExistAnywhere("(BC)137") && Utility.doesItemExistAnywhere("(BC)138") && Utility.doesItemExistAnywhere("(BC)139") && Utility.doesItemExistAnywhere("(BC)140") && Utility.doesItemExistAnywhere("(BC)126") && Utility.doesItemExistAnywhere("(BC)110") && Utility.doesItemExistAnywhere("(BC)113"))
    {
        this.mailbox.Add("RarecrowSociety");
    }

[uncut viper]

anyway it just checks the whole world for- yeah

i just got back to my desk to check too

up until now i didnt know it wasnt a 100% chance

what an awfully inefficient check lol

why iterate over every item in the world once when we can do it 8 separate times for no reason

[lucid mulch]

predates having good code primitives to check multiple things in the one trip

the fact the "is scarecow" logic is still "does the items name contain arecrow", but also has a optional context tag mode that isn't used for vanilla afaik

[uncut viper]

simlar for the function that gets the scarecrow radius, as i recall

but with deluxe instead of arecrow

[vital lotus]

I'll assume no CP equivalent then 👀

[lucid mulch]

a trigger action might be able to emulate it

[vital lotus]

i suppose i could create flag when the item purchased?

[uncut viper]

well you asked a general case but gave scarecrow as an exmaple, was that the only one you actually cared about?

you dont purchase the deluxe rarecrow

[lucid mulch]

dont purchase all the individual rarecrows either as a few are museum rewards

[uncut viper]

the museum rewards at least come with flags

however without something like BETAS you cant know if the player actually placed them

[vital lotus]

not scarecrow in particular, just wanna check general items

to have it as condition

[unreal spoke]

A trigger action with a PLAYER_HAS_ITEM trigger wouldn’t suffice, I assume?

[uncut viper]

then no there is no general way with CP alone

[uncut viper]

this would only work if the trigger fired when they had it in their inventory

[blissful panther]

if (Game1.random.NextDouble() < 0.905 && !this.hasOrWillReceiveMail("RarecrowSociety") && Utility.doesItemExistAnywhere("(BC)136") && Utility.doesItemExistAnywhere("(BC)137") && Utility.doesItemExistAnywhere("(BC)138") && Utility.doesItemExistAnywhere("(BC)139") && Utility.doesItemExistAnywhere("(BC)140") && Utility.doesItemExistAnywhere("(BC)126") && Utility.doesItemExistAnywhere("(BC)110") && Utility.doesItemExistAnywhere("(BC)113"))
{
    this.mailbox.Add("RarecrowSociety");
}

Well that's a fun way to add it.

[uncut viper]

if i buy a rarecrow, then immediately put it into my junimo chest, you wont detect that

[blissful panther]

Then you've discovered a game bug!

[uncut viper]

what

[blissful panther]

This is from the decompile.

[uncut viper]

im talkin to doragoun

[blissful panther]

Oh.

I am smrt.

[unreal spoke]

Ah, I missed the initial context. Yeah, sorry.

[uncut viper]

the game checks if you've placed them

but its not limited to trigger actions

[unreal spoke]

To be fair, I did say it would most likely not suffice.

[uncut viper]

it was a good assumption!

[unreal spoke]

I guess if you wanted to get complicated (and the items you need have to be bought from shops), you could set mail flags upon purchase and then run a trigger action once you’ve got all necessary mail flags, but…

[vital lotus]

As items in context here is all custom items added by mod I think i can get away with flag because everything obtained through shop

[uncut viper]

assuming no other mod gives you access to rarecrows

then yes you can detect when they have purchased an item

if you control all the levers then its simple

[vital lotus]

was tryna avoid that 😅

[unreal spoke]

Understandable.

[uncut viper]

thats basically most of the use case for ActionsOnPurchase

remember to only send and check mail on the host

[vital lotus]

is mailflag shared by all players?

[uncut viper]

if i buy one scarecrow and my partner buys a different scarecrow then neither of us will end up with all the flags

they are absoutely not

thatd be disastrous

but you can just AddMail to the host

[vital lotus]

oh

[uncut viper]

and always check the host with either the GSQs or the CP token

[vital lotus]

noice

[uncut viper]

then it doesnt matter

[brave fable]

i would now like to introduce my new mod idea

[bleak spade]

Sorry i've just had time to see this:
So I make a new EditMap command targeting the vanilla map?

[dusty scarab]

Oh wonderful, regardless I think decompiling and going through it will deepen my understanding so I’ll do it. Thank you so much!

[balmy venture]

excuse me ms @brave fable may I pm you about one of your mods?

[bleak spade]

I tried to add a mapproperties edit to the vanilla map behind my mod in hopes it'll stop the vanilla lights from coming through in areas that no longer have lampposts, but it's done nothing

I also keep getting this error whenever I load the Town map

[brave fable]

nope ☀️ here's fine though hahah

[balmy venture]

Ok! So I posted some time ago about compatibility with Love of Cooking and Ultra Organized chests. My husband said he might able to help with that if you allow him. Then if it's okay we can send to you. I'm sorry if it's not allowed

[brave fable]

ooh, code submissions are always welcome, especially for compatibility

[balmy venture]

oooh thank you so much!

I will send to you in a bit

[brave fable]

keep me posted if you need any info about the codebase, it's pretty messy hahah

[balmy venture]

he actually already did it (shy)

I will send it open so you can check it

he's not a C# coder but it seems it worked from what I could tell

He said your code is amazing lol

[brave fable]

that's a relief, it's agonising imagining people trying to understand it all hahah

[royal stump]

It's saying the NightTiles map property value includes AlwaysFront 17 86 908 AlwaysFront 21 64 908, but the AlwaysFront layer doesn't have any tile index at 17,86 or 21,64, so it can't do that.

[balmy venture]

C# is very very unknown to him

but he understood enough for the compat

mr @tawny ore comment back then helped him a lot as well!

[brave fable]

ah, an actual professional programmer lol

[balmy venture]

if you guys are not professional I don't know who is

everyone's codes here are amazing

he will send it open to me as soon as he finishes his work meeting, I only got the closed code in my computer

Thank you so much!

[brave fable]

it's a day job and a night job, a hobby, a pastime, ..

[lucid iron]

Blueberry is amateur coder like how olympic figure skaters are amateur

[balmy venture]

XDD

[brave fable]

no worries! i'll let you know if it needs any cleanup before it's merged

[balmy venture]

I'm always impressed at what you guys do cause I never worked with code before

but maybe I will one day slowly learn, It's very foreign to me so far

[brave fable]

the trick is to move to australia. once you're that foreign the code's almost legible

[bleak spade]

I'm pretty sure its because its the vanilla map properties coming through my map edit, but now there's no lamppost on that tile there it's spitting out this error.

But I don't know how to stop/remove the vanilla map properties

[balmy venture]

I'm brazilian so when I read code I need to process 2 languages

then I read tutorials and I need to process what tutorials are saying haha

[royal stump]

It's described in the MapProperties info here:
https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/action-editmap.md#edit-map-properties
You can include something like "NightTiles": null to remove a property entirely, or just edit it to match your map replacement

[bleak spade]

Thanks! I'll try that!

[brave fable]

professional coders design solutions. i just find them

[cold marsh]

Is there no way to override rainy weather triggering NightTiles from day start? I made cool daytime rain windows and realized way too'd late they'd go unused

[lucid mulch]

I wish that was the case, as none of my work colleagues seemingly can understand it either

[calm nebula]

Understand bluebs code or

Understand your code

[cold marsh]

And does Snow also force NightTiles?

[lucid mulch]

tbh they don't fully understand their own code either

feel like at times I'm the only one that knows how debug an application

[brave fable]

it's wonderful to imagine your coworkers huddled around a monitor trying to debug my cooking

struggling, presumably

[balmy venture]

But it's such a cute mod, if I didn't know I'd think it's base game

[calm nebula]

Huddled around a stovetop trying to debug cooking

No it needs more salt

[balmy venture]

I've been trying to read several mods and base game mods to slowly learn

[calm nebula]

I can read your code perfectly fine bluebs and I'm very dumb so

[brave fable]

hahah that's high praise both of you

[balmy venture]

I wouldn't do cooking in game without it

Of course ultra organized chests also blew my mind when I saw it

my OCD for organization is very happy now I can use both together

[brave fable]

always happy to hear people like my creations :') still charging up the strength to update them

[balmy venture]

You have so many I can only imagine

[hard fern]

speaking of cooking, imagine a cooking mama style minigame everytime you wanted to cook in-game

[balmy venture]

I can't code so I've been working on spritesheet compats for recolors to help a bit

[calm nebula]

Do you like cooking irl?

[brave fable]

i like eating irl

[calm nebula]

What is your favorite?

[brave fable]

eating

[blissful panther]

I now realise I've never looked at your code...

To b-b-blueberry!

[calm nebula]

Blues has pretty menus

[balmy venture]

ya, the animations are also amazing

[hard fern]

do i dare touch the (island) farmhouse

[lucid iron]

What are you touching

[brave fable]

unfortunately most of my code is from the first year or two of learning c#, but desert bus is minty fresh

but it was also cobbled together in about a week so also very much crusty

[gentle rose]

I like to pretend I live in a world where nobody else will ever read or run my code

other people who run my code may not be fans of this approach though

[blissful panther]

Honestly, even the UI code in Love of Cooking isn't bad to read at all, and that's a feat.

[lucid iron]

I assume people will read and understand my code perfectly and therefor don't need no comments

[gentle rose]

a feat? that's a miracle

I think blueberry might be magic

[brave fable]

the git page is extremely wobbly after years of mixing tabs and spaces

[gentle rose]

hey, they get variable names and they should be grateful

never mind you're mortal after all

[blissful panther]

I just looked at Smart Building's UI code in the longest time, and I... emergency readability update time.

The biggest problem is WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY THINGS COMMENTED OUT INSTEAD OF JUST DELETED?

[lucid iron]

What if u need it again!

[brave fable]

probably the biggest improvement in the history of loc was moving all of the page and inventory logic out of the main menu class. jesus that was a long file

[brave fable]

hi are you every one of my coworkers

[blissful panther]

Git history apparently didn't exist to old me.

[calm nebula]

God i fixed that asap

Can't stand it

That might be an actual brain issue with me

[gentle rose]

fixed that to spaces, right?

[calm nebula]

I also re-indent my coworker's code

[lucid iron]

Yesterday i yeeted a extra layer of PerScreen<ConditionalWeakTable<Thing, Dictionary<...>>> and my draw improved 1ms

Why did i do that...

[iron ridge]

but what if the code is too broken to commit yet??

[calm nebula]

Well, the VS autofix fixes to spaces

[blissful panther]

I haven't done that for a long time, now! I got better!

[gentle rose]

I do that regularly but delete them before committing so I can pretend I don't

[blissful panther]

Well yeah, that I do still, but they don't survive to commits anymore.

Multiple working drafts of a change and all.

[calm nebula]

I still do that regularly because svn sucks

[brave fable]

imo Gift Wrapper is my best UI code. for some unholy reason i decided to put the entire mod into a json file
https://github.com/b-b-blueberry/GiftWrapper/blob/master/GiftWrapper/assets/data.json

[lucid iron]

Reinventing html/css

[calm nebula]

I think my favorite mod code was the era where everything i did was IDisposable

You'll see.

There was a lot of IDisposablr

[brave fable]

my home is a workshop for new, incredible wheels i've invented. some of them even turn

[gentle rose]

my workflow for this tiled extension is awful and I won't even try to pretend it isn't. I've yet to set up a git repo and am doing the file_old file_old(1) file_new file_final form of version control

[lucid iron]

Atra's renewable recycling phase

[calm nebula]

Over shit the GC wouldn't have saved me from b/c of events being hard references

[lucid iron]

Actually i do wonder about the threshold where instead of record i should actually make a proper pool n all

[calm nebula]

internal abstract class AbstractScreenshotter : IDisposable

[brave fable]

at this point it's only a blueberry mod if it's got a new Pool implementation

maybe a couple just to be safe

[calm nebula]

internal abstract class AbstractFriendshipMonitor : IDisposable

Why have a custom pool?

[brave fable]

boat cutscene has one, desert bus has one, like two other things

passing decor, mostly

[lucid iron]

Looking forward to blueberry's swim mod

[calm nebula]

Pool for what?

[brave fable]

[was this not enough for you](#making-mods-general message)

[calm nebula]

I'm so confused

[balmy venture]

Hi ms @brave fable , he sent me this link, is this the right way to send the modifications? https://github.com/b-b-blueberry/CooksAssistant/pull/23

[gentle rose]

pool^2

[brave fable]

the little bushes and cacti and stuff that pass by when you drive
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeRcycSK390

[balmy venture]

that hud is so cute haha

[brave fable]

very neat! i'll give it a test sometime in the week, getting late at night here hahah

thanks so much for the submission!

[balmy venture]

No thank you!

[calm nebula]

Ahhh? So a list?

[brave fable]

what is a pool if not a list with extra steps
😌

[dusky sail]

....a man-made body of water?

im confused. maybe i should go to bed instead of trying to keep up with programmers at a higher level than me

[lucid iron]

Dw atra is just bullying blueb again/lh

[royal stump]

It may be a bit complicated, but you could probably use CP's EditMap -> MapProperties to add those windows to NightTiles on days with rain or storm weather:
https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/action-editmap.md#edit-map-properties
But directly speaking, no, there doesn't seem to be any control over how NightTiles works. And no, they should actually care about time on snow days.

[lucid iron]

maybe u can use dynamic map tiles for this

it's got a whole thing right

[royal stump]

idk about that personally, but maybe

seems like it could but would be similar to just patching the property* (at a glance)

[calm nebula]

Dont worry chue can bully me too

All my mods share the same stringbuilder instance

[dusty scarab]

Is there any way to replace an asset during runtime other than editing the data and invalidating the cache?

[calm nebula]

No safe way but this sounds like an xy problem

[dusty scarab]

I want to change an NPC base on the player's look, for example eye color

[calm nebula]

Absolutely use the asset edit system

[dusty scarab]

yeah, but it needs to happen during runtime in case the player starts a new save or changes hair color

[lucid iron]

That's fine

Assets get invalidated and reedited often in a modded game

Are you in C#

[dusty scarab]

yes

[brave fable]

editing the data is how you replace the asset, invalidating the cache is how you do it during runtime you're doing fine

[calm nebula]

Yeah, the system is kinda complex and very easy to screw up if you try to yolo it

[lucid iron]

You good then just do the editimage by hand

In AssetRequested ofc

[calm nebula]

(Yolo - directly editing the image asset outside of AssetRequested)

[dusty scarab]

Perfect!

[lucid iron]

If u need like prismatic eyes or smth then maybe consider patching npc draw

[dusty scarab]

I really want to thank y'all I'm new to modding as a whole and everyone here are just so awesome!

❤️

[dusty scarab]

Is that Harmony?

[lucid iron]

yea patching in C# context usually means harmony here

[dusty scarab]

I'll look into it, tysm!

[brave fable]

(again, that's an if based on whether you need something continuously changing, rather than just refreshing once in a while)

[lucid iron]

yea prismatic meaning the cycling rainbow gamer rgb color

[dusty scarab]

probably not what I will do in this specific case but it's still super interesting to look into

[lucid iron]

if u just need it to be blue just like farmer then u dont need it

[hard fern]

i do this then look back and scroll through the equivalent of at least 2 whole word document pages

[cold marsh]

Oh, adding properties via CP is something I didn't think of. I was about to load an entire alternate version of the map just to account for snow days and snow nights

"but you could probably use CP's EditMap -> MapProperties to add those windows to NightTiles on days with rain or storm weather"

This would require OnTimeChanged, right?

[lucid iron]

no you add the NightTiles for the day, and then let normal night tiles logic happen

[cold marsh]

Ah, I see. Thank you

Glad to know I can get rid of the EditMap patches

This will preserve animations as long as the weather-conditional tiles I'm targeting in my CP patch are the ones I have animated in Tiled, right?

[royal stump]

I'm not sure how NightTiles (or most things) interact with tile animations, personally

[brave fable]

all that NightTiles seems to do is change the tile index. i wouldn't assume it would change a StaticTile to an AnimatedTile

[grizzled rain]

is it possible to do an android patch for a custom NPC mod to make it work on android?

[lucid iron]

depends on what's not working

[grizzled rain]

I think its the files? the comment i got on my mod said that they were having trouble with the files

maybe installing mods is different on android? idk

[lucid iron]

it's not different and tbh this sounds like user error

just direct them to the android smapi discord

!androidsmapi

something that might have happened is the file names, android is unix which cares about casing in paths

[mortal goblet]

Hi everyone, I need to know which json has the Grandpa event at third year

[torpid sparrow]

errr check Farm

[bleak spade]

Hooray I've managed to remove the vanilla light mapproperties!

[torpid sparrow]

if not farm maybe farmhouse i cant really remember if it plays when you wake up or step out

[bleak spade]

Now I've got a new problem: I've tried to do a EditMap command to put in new lights and day/nighttiles into my custom map but it's not working

[round dock]

it’s in Data/Events/FarmHouse

[torpid sparrow]

rats almost got it

[hallow prism]

if it helps, wem, i believe the game adds the event to every existing locations

(probably using farmhouse as the source of it, still)

[bleak spade]

How do I impliment DayTiles, NightTiles and Light properties for a custom map using Content Patcher (EditMap)?

[lucid iron]

you need to target Maps/Town

[bleak spade]

Oh, I thought I could apply it to the custom map I had

Also I have an action telling it to Null all light map properties in the vanilla Maps/Town so it's discounting the new properties, so it cancels it out

[lucid iron]

you can just do overwrite with new props in one step

remember that when you edit something its changes being applied to asset directly

[red egret]

@latent mauve my mod has the context tags now so you can use them. When i used 'true' for the thing before it, the portraits were gone from the catalogue so i left it empty as you said.

[bleak spade]

Is that something like "Actions": "Overwrite"?

[lucid iron]

no it's no different than you putting in null

simply put in your new values

now for greater compat, you can consider doing 2 edits with different priorities

one is a Low prio edit that takes out the vanilla map prop

and then a High prio edit that appends your new values

[bleak spade]

Finally! Thank you so much that works perfectly

[grizzled rain]

thanks!

[violet valley]

hi guys! if am making an event where an NPC comes to the players doorstep, what do I put the camera tile thing to? 0, 0?

[karmic gust]

Yeah that should work. When I was making one I think every coordinate I set started at the front steps anyway

[violet valley]

Ok. Thanks

One more thing. What do I put the farmer and NPCs starting tile to?

[gaunt orbit]

The farm cave and adoption events are probably in the game files, you could just unpack them and see what they're doing

[violet valley]

Ok

Thanks for the help; Ive never made events before

[gaunt orbit]

!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.

[brittle ledge]

@grizzled rain I see you've got a Sprites in Detail requirement - is that working in Android SMAPI? That might be the issue

[grizzled rain]

no thats the other mod, this comment was on the Ryza npc mod

[bleak spade]

Does anyone know what this error means? I put it through the json parser and they said there were no issues

[grizzled rain]

sorry that i wasnt specific on which mod of mine it was btw

[brittle ledge]

No worries, I missed it looking at your profile on mobile. I don't see anything in there that would cause issues except possibly whatever you're doing with spacecore (but I do see that's optional)

[grizzled rain]

thanks for taking a look, i apreciate it

[round timber]

!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.

[grizzled rain]

not sure whats going on with it, then

[obtuse wigeon]

Something is wrong with the content.json, seems it can't convert the "Target": "Maps/Forest" to the format it wants, is this your mod? if so paste the link to the smapi json parser, it may be just a formatting issue

[round timber]

json parser fyi mostly just checks to see if its a valid json, it cant see whether youre using the right format for the right thing (i dont have the techincal words to explain, but basically it can give no errors even if there are in fact things wrong with the json)

[obtuse wigeon]

adding the content patcher schema to your editor if it supports schemas (VSCode does for sure) can help find issues too

[latent mauve]

If you have somehow left out the quotes around the Target, that would cause that error, but I would expect the validator to catch that if you have the schema selected

[gentle rose]

the smapi json parser does actually have some validation specifically for content patcher and manifest formats using the schemas! you just have to pick the right one in the parser

[round timber]

ye thats why i said mostly

[blissful panther]

It can give you a definite no, but not a definite yes.

[gentle rose]

are there any formats it doesn't support at all yet? maybe I'll write some schemas. I'm in a schema kind of mood

[latent mauve]

That reminds me, do we have a handy link to the event code validator somewhere? I feel like I remember something existing.

[obtuse wigeon]

The only ones it supports rn is Content Patcher, I18n, and Manifest (That I can find)

[round timber]

theres an event code validator?

[lucid iron]

can you figure out how to write the internal schemas

[latent mauve]

I think there was a plug-in or a script or something but I may be misremembering

[lucid iron]

E.g. fit the format of Data/Characters under cp Entries

[gentle rose]

so like specifically if it's patching Data/Characters?

[lucid iron]

Yea but that's just example

[gentle rose]

yeah that's possible, there's already a basic version of that going on for warps

[obtuse wigeon]

I'd love one specifically for furniture, I mess that up so much because its a slash delim string

[gentle rose]

that's the whole reason I messed with the schemas in the first place

[lucid iron]

I would like to be able to extend the cp schema to cover my silly custom assets in general

But we should begin with the vanilla assets

[gentle rose]

but the problem is that once there's a token in a field that supports tokens, you can't validate any further because it could contain anything

[tiny zealot]

event code validator is being built into 1.6.16, if memory serves, so it's not an external tool afaik

[obtuse wigeon]

Could RegEx be used to essentially skip over anything within double curly brackets?

[fading walrus]

[lucid iron]

I mean i guess this is what sinz debugger is for then

I forgor if it validated fields actually didn't check yet

[gentle rose]

I mean yeah, that's what a schema does

[lucid iron]

But yeah it's okay if u dont statically check all the way down the values

[gentle rose]

the entire reason I was messing with them before was to make it so if you put a token in a warps patch it disables the warps format checking

[lucid iron]

Just telling ppl that hey this field doesn't exist is pretty good

[gentle rose]

oh that's definitely doable

[lucid iron]

But while I can badger u into things do u know what broke FromFile

[gentle rose]

but since I don't do much content patcher I would need to be told what to add

[lucid iron]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1313914519327871006/1399355959154970715/image-19.png?ex=6891edcb&is=68909c4b&hm=50df0d68789cb650a668ea2dceddf8b7433cb6b11ee029a40d9fcd1fda576b0b&

This mystery schema issue

[gentle rose]

hmm. vscode doesn't give the correct errors, try putting it in the online validator

[lucid iron]

Appeared on 7/28

It's valid online afaik

But u can check, this thing happens on any Load with a FromFile

[blissful panther]

Huh, weird.

VSCode complains, but Rider doesn't.

[gentle rose]

that's around the time my update was pushed but I didn't touch anything close to FromFile...

[lucid iron]

I blame you anyways

[gentle rose]

hold on it wasn't even accepted github was misleading me

[lucid iron]

Must be brought to justice etc

[gentle rose]

definitely not me then

(why did github even show me my fork's history when I'm looking at the original repo...)

[obtuse wigeon]

Which schema is this issue occuring for?

[lucid iron]

Content Patcher

[obtuse wigeon]

I'm not getting it at all weirdly, on VSCode too

[lucid iron]

You need to actually use $schema

[round timber]

ive been getting it on VSCode

[obtuse wigeon]

I am, "$schema": "https://smapi.io/schemas/content-patcher.json", unless this isn't the correct one

[lucid iron]

What if it's actually vsc nonsense

[gentle rose]

does it happen with this schema too, chu?

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/26a66cc20abf81e57028b7390a20a1471f192fc4/src/SMAPI.Web/wwwroot/schemas/content-patcher.json

[gentle rose]

that's my current guess, yeah

[lucid iron]

I shall try in like 10min

[round timber]

i still get it

[obtuse wigeon]

I'm thinking one of the many extensions I have installed stops it from happenening, the only schema issue I come across is the lack of a "Format" field in include files

No error here when using your schema iro, defo think I have an extension stopping it

[gentle rose]

it's caused by the part that prevents directory climbing

[obtuse wigeon]

I was on VSCode version 1.101.2, just updated to 1.102.3 and I'm getting the same issue now

[blissful panther]

Remember when I said it was fine in Rider? That was a lie!

[violet valley]

Is there a game state query to check if the player has visited a location? (i figured it out )

[calm nebula]

Hi DH! Long time no see

[blissful panther]

Okay, never mind. I cleared the cache, and it still doesn't complain on this one.

[blissful panther]

I feel like we keep being here at the wrong times!

[gentle rose]

figured it out, idk why it just started recently but there was a badly escaped backslash

[round timber]

how dare...

[violet valley]

Nvm figured it out

[ornate locust]

AdvancedMove fixed my problem from last night btw

[gentle rose]

(I think I figured it out at least)

[blissful panther]

What I don't get though is why Rider is happy with it...

[round timber]

rider is no thoughts head empty

[gentle rose]

my guess is that the way that bacslash was handled used to be "not ideal but we know what you mean" and now vscode is checking it more strictly?

because the issue is with the part of the regex that's supposed to say

[/\\] (so character group of / or \ )
but the json also has it as [/\\], which means that the actual regex becomes [/\] after json escaping

but if that is the case, that's strange because it would mean being unable to escape the ] character so you could put it in a character group?

[blissful panther]

I remember when I was going to be making a schema for the JSON checker for VAF...

[gentle rose]

anyway my fix was just making it the correct [/\\\\]

[calm nebula]

Four of them lol

[gentle rose]

it should mean FromMapFile is also broken, and possibly a few others we haven't spotted yet (plus I found a mistake in Target)

idek what FromMapFile is tbh

oh it's CustomLocations

[obtuse wigeon]

I was going to say I don't see any mentions of it

That'll be why

[gentle rose]

@blissful panther can you check what happens in rider if you make a localtoken with ] in the name? I don't have it installed rn

(specifically a closing square bracket)

oh ig there's some kind of smart checking that prevents the regex parser from getting confused between [\]] and [\] because the online validator is fine with it, but vscode must have done something to break it

[blissful panther]

Yup, it hates this at least.

[gentle rose]

can you try it with only the closing, not the opening?

[blissful panther]

Yup, also hates that!

Also hates just the opening.

[gentle rose]

cool, then it's just vscode being stupid (typical)

right, I'll fix that and the target and throw it in the same PR as the previous update

[bleak spade]

Thank you to everyone who've helped me over the past few weeks fixing my custom map, I'm basically finished!

Only problem I have now is that I accidentally deleted the blacksmith garbage can tile detail thing and now I can't get it to work

I made a new object tile and put "Action: Garbage Blacksmith" in the custom properties but it doesn't do anything when I interact with it

[gentle rose]

can some of you try this schema in various editors and let me know if it works as expected?

https://github.com/irocendar/SMAPI/raw/refs/heads/cp-schema-fix/src/SMAPI.Web/wwwroot/schemas/content-patcher.json

[obtuse wigeon]

Sure

[calm nebula]

Why would you use [] in a local token name

Just plz

[gentle rose]

that's what the schema is checking it's not allowed

[obtuse wigeon]

VSCode 1.101.2 works with it as expected, no errors besides the ususal missing "Format" field in include files

[gentle rose]

didn't you update to 1.102.3?

[obtuse wigeon]

I did, but downgraded so I dont have to deal with yellow lines everywhere

[gentle rose]

I'll have to wait for someone to try it with a version that was broken in the first place then ty though

[blissful panther]

Using the new schema in VSCode.

In 1.102.3?

[gentle rose]

Nice. and FromFile isn't erroring?

[blissful panther]

Looks good!

[gentle rose]

excellent

I also fixed Target while I was at it (it had two problems, one was that it was assuming there was only one target, and the other that [cC][oO][nN][tT][eE][nN][tT] made me sad)

[obtuse wigeon]

Nice fix, means I can update VSCode now, woop!

Hello! I'm new to modding and I was trying to bring the mod Seasonal Outfits - 6.0 Code Fixes to SVE. Is there any way to quickly test the beach sprites? I don't have a save with SVE and ginger island unlocked

[obtuse wigeon]

You can use CJB Cheats to cheat the prequisits for the island and the money required for the golden walnut parrot

Without a savefile with them I don't think theres a quicker way

[uneven spindle]

thanks! i'll give it a try

[clear sedge]

Can someone help me with translating an Enum value. For GMCM?

chat i’m afraid

i wanna start making mods… but the cheeto curse scares me 😞

but i can’t turn back now either. it’s too late. the voices have gotten to me.

[naive wyvern]

what kind of mods are you planning to make?

[fair locust]

i have literally 8 ideas that i’ve written down in detail. they’re mostly ui utilities that will analyze data and present it to the user

[obtuse wigeon]

I am always up for more info on my screen, what kind of data will be analyzed?

[gentle rose]

do you know any c#? if not, it's always a good time to start learning so you can make these mods

[fair locust]

i’m still working on the specifics. but given that i have a background in mathematics, data seems like a perfect niche for me to work in

[calm nebula]

It's possible to escape the cheeto curse

[fair locust]

not yet but i’m planning on it! i do know a few languages including c++ so hopefully c# won’t be too big of a jump from there

[violet valley]

Hi! i'm new to making events, and my event is not loading; SMAPI says it is not found. does this look written right?

{
"Changes": [
{
"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Data/Events",
"When": {
"HasVisitedLocation": "OMEGAlinc.CSExpanded_CentralStationUndergroundShops",
"Hearts:Wizard": "2"
},

"{{ModId}}_WizardUndergroundShops/t 0900 1800/": "WizardSong/64 15/farmer 64 15 2 Wizard 65 16 0/pause 325/speak Wizard "Greetings, @.$6#$b#Say.. have you been to those shops? The underground ones in Central Station?"/end"
}
}
]
}

[round timber]

you need to add a specific location to your target, like Data/Events/MyLocation

[violet valley]

ohh

like Data/Events/Farm?

[round timber]

yeah

[violet valley]

ok ty

[round timber]

two more things: id recommend doing the full form prerequisite commands instead of the shortform ones (Time instead of t), and hearts with a villager can be made a precondition instead of having it as part of the When condition. the visited location thing may have one as well but youd have to check the wiki for that

[violet valley]

ok.

[calm nebula]

HasVisitesLocation seems invalid

[violet valley]

i mean, the event works right now

[hallow prism]

it's possible it doesn't fail without checking that properly

there is a Game State Query for that if you want something more clean/stable/sure

[violet valley]

for what?

[uncut viper]

im not sure what seems invalid about it

[violet valley]

i got it working, I just needed to change the target from Data/Events to Data/Events/Farm

[uncut viper]

yeah I know, I'm saying IDK why atra said the token seemed invalid

[violet valley]

oh

[calm nebula]

Is it new?

It didn't used to exist

[violet valley]

oh

im using a game state query now though

It might have been added in 1.6

[violet valley]

ok I fixed it now

{
"Changes": [
{
"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Data/Events/Farm",
"Entries": {
"{{ModId}}_WizardUndergroundShops/Friendship Wizard 500/GameStateQuery PLAYER_VISITED_LOCATION Current OMEGAlinc.CSExpanded_CentralStationUndergroundShops/Time 0900 1800/": "WizardSong/64 15/farmer 64 15 2 Wizard 65 16 0/pause 325/speak Wizard "Greetings, @.$6#$b#Say.. have you been to those shops?

what is the purple grass??? idk what half this grass is. is there a "this grass is for this" guide of some sort bc im dumb

[pulsar fern]

hey all, is there any alternative for questframework? I made a mod some years ago with questframework and I'd like to update it for 1.6, I've been searching this discord and internet but can't find anything

[uncut viper]

no. you use vanilla data for quests now

[tender bloom]

There’s seasonal grass + mines grass

I believe the purple grass is dangerous mines lava level

[pulsar fern]

is there any more info on this? any kinda guide, tutorial or documentation on how to make quests with this method?

[uncut viper]

as with most (all?) things, the wiki is the first place to look for documentation
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Quest_data

you will be using Content Patcher

[pulsar fern]

i see, are there any existing mods that I can look at to see examples of how they do this?

[uncut viper]

probably. look for any 1.6 mods that add quests

[tender bloom]

VMV has a few quests (as well as many many other things)

[pulsar fern]

VMV being this? https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9600

[round timber]

yes

[pulsar fern]

alright I'll look at that, thank you!

[karmic gust]

Can I get some feedback on a couple of ideas? I'm working on house upgrades for vanilla NPCs. 3 of the maps I've made are meant to replace vanilla locations with bigger versions (Leah's house, Elliott's house, and Sebastian's room) but obviously that makes compatibility with other mods difficult. If they set events or schedules there the coordinates would be different and yeah.

I could also just patch a small staircase and an upstairs to all of them to make a separate location with the additional rooms, and not touch the base maps.

Is that a good compromise or do you think players would roll their eyes at another upstairs because currently that's what I've done for Shane and Haley (added an upstairs apartment), and Alex and Sam (did an "attic conversion")

[knotty steppe]

Hello! I'm new to this discord and trying to get a setup going on my Mac, and getting the "“ILSpy” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash." warning when I try to download Avalonia ILspy.

Does anyone know if there is a known fix for this or an alternative program that works better for Mac users?

[blissful panther]

AvaloniaILSpy is...comparatively ancient at this point.

[calm nebula]

At work I had some success using the vscode ilspy plugin

[blissful panther]

You'll have far better luck with the ILSpy extension for VSCode: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=icsharpcode.ilspy-vscode

[calm nebula]

(Admittedly in windows)

[lucid iron]

Just use ilspycmd

[knotty steppe]

Awesome, thank you! I was just trying to follow the steps on the wiki. I usually use webstorm but I'll see if I can get that going on vscode for Mac.

[lucid iron]

As long as u can dotnet install nuget it should work

[knotty steppe]

Hmm ok looking at that now

[calm nebula]

Report back!

Chue can you update the wiki

[lucid iron]

I think i wrote down ilspycmd steps on wiki right

! decompile

!decompile

[ocean sail]

If you want to make SMAPI mods with C#, one important resource is decompiling the game to read the game code. Here's how to do it: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/Get_Started#How_do_I_decompile_the_game_code.3F

To use this command, type !decompile.

[lucid iron]

Yep it's there second section

[blissful panther]

Oh wow, you did! I had no idea. Yeah, that's going to be the best way.

[knotty steppe]

Ok sweet I was afraid of that for some reason but going to try it now

[obtuse wigeon]

(this is massively offtopic but I have to ask, Chu how on earth do you remember your username?)

[floral stratus]

chu, square root of e. All lowercase

[obtuse wigeon]

Ahh, Euler's number, it's just clicked, didn't realise that's what the e was refering too

[gentle rose]

why do you need to remember your username though

you log in with email and pings auto complete

[gentle rose]

(and that's not chu's username? it's chu2.718281828459045235360287471 haha)

[obtuse wigeon]

I think the only thing I log into with my email is nexus, the rest of the stuff I log into can use either username or email, and my user is so much easier to type

[lucid iron]

I am just 275089066607771648

Can't get more specific than that

[calm nebula]

Tbh thr long chain of random numbers is how I knoe chue is chinese

[gentle rose]

you should start using a password manager then, because if you're typing things manually that means you're memorising passwords which means you're almost definitely reusing them/reusing a pattern/not using long enough passwords

[obtuse wigeon]

My password manager is my brain, I (thankfully) have more passwords stored in this fleshy deteriorating thing than I do accounts, well accounts that have important info tied to them

[gentle rose]

then like I said, they probably aren't long enough 😅 I will continue telling people to get a proper password manager until everyone starts using one lmao

[opal tendon]

uh oh did I need to do something to make them available for sale...

[gentle rose]

did you add them to a shop?

[opal tendon]

this is all I did

this is all I was helped with

[lucid iron]

Oh it's furniture

[gentle rose]

they might be available in the furniture catalogue?

[lucid iron]

They should be in there yes

[gentle rose]

I fixed the fromfile thing btw, it was VSCode being annoying about regex syntax

ig their latest update no longer accepts unescaped backslashes in certain contexts

[blissful panther]

I guess it's entirely fine that the JSON schema format can be interpreted to work in slightly different ways. /j

[gentle rose]

technically it's the regex regular syntax that can be interpreted in multiple different ways /lh

[brittle pasture]

yeah I neglected to mention that if you want them to be for sale in Robin's/Marnie's/etc. you need to edit Data/Shops
they will show up in the furniture catalogue though without further changes

[opal tendon]

oh no okay ty! maybe I will add that as an update

[gentle rose]

I rate that scam 3.2/10. Not very convincing

[lucid iron]

You can make custom catalog if u want

[obtuse wigeon]

Jumpscare

Very quick with it though

[obtuse wigeon]

Wasn't even a link either! Poor taste imo

[opal tendon]

also does anyone know where the png for the hatmouse is?

[gentle rose]

I think it's bouncer that deletes them which is why it's always so quick, but there's always a chance it's DH lurking or something

[lucid iron]

[obtuse wigeon]

I find this unbelievably funny

[royal stump]

(loosesprites/cursors but specifically the bottom right)

[opal tendon]

oh I meant his house

but I needed that too

[gentle rose]

it should be a map file I think

wait yo is there a picnic at some point??

Maybe I'm just a greenhorn and don't understand the mechanics of it, or maybe it's not possible, but how do you add animated fire to an event? Can't seem to turn on a campfire in an event. Discord and online searching hasn't showed me anything I understand. (Trying to put a fire on top of the firepit on the beach).

[opal tendon]

this is gonna be the cutest when I am done EHEHEHEHE

[halcyon ivy]

[opal tendon]

its not its part of the festivals png I think

[uncut viper]

Stardew Valley

Would I just ignore the other stuff going on here and draw directly over the house?

What's the goal here

[torpid sparrow]

replacing energy tonic with Fahrenheit

[violet valley]

Yeah lol whats the goal

[torpid sparrow]

its a stupid mod

[violet valley]

oh

[torpid sparrow]

celsius = energy drink, im putting in fahrenheit

[violet valley]

yeah like buttom said, should be in strings/objects somewhere

*button

[brittle pasture]

you'll need to split your edit image patches to avoid overwriting the parts that's not the hat mouse's house

[knotty steppe]

@calm nebula Ok sweet! It took me a few tries to get the game paths all right, and I had to run the two separately so that it didn't crash halfway through, but it worked! Thanks for the help.

[obtuse wigeon]

Make a new png with the house, then used edit image with the ToArea property to modify the outdoors tilesheet

[opal tendon]

oh no

that sounds harder

[uncut viper]

it's exactly the same

[obtuse wigeon]

It's not at all, it's really easy, there's an example on the content patcher docs I think

[torpid sparrow]

was in strings ty for the help :3

[brittle pasture]

though if your pixels have 100% coverage of the vanilla pixels maybe you can get away with an overlay edit

[opal tendon]

okay ty

hmmmm

[uncut viper]

100% meaning no transparency either or else the original will show through under it

[opal tendon]

What if I did it a lil something like this

[opal tendon]

Oh so no chimney smoke?

Unless it’s fully opaque

[lucid iron]

Just do 2 rectangles tbh

So you don't have to think about it

[opal tendon]

Okay and still make it about the same size as the og?

[lucid iron]

Actually ig u need 3 rectangles

[opal tendon]

[lucid iron]

What tile is that missing corner at

[uncut viper]

you cannot go outside the rectangular bounds of the original house

but if the smoke is within that rectangle and would be overlaid on top of empty space on the original, it's fine

this only applies if you do overlay like Selph said

if what Selph said doesn't apply to you then it doesn't matter, the transparency thing

[brittle pasture]

why, senor ape

(the disjoined chimney)

[obtuse wigeon]

The clinic and general store also do this too

[gentle rose]

if it fits it sits

[lucid iron]

ft top half of shane coop

[knotty steppe]

Small update on my attemp to decompile the game code: seems like it worked for a lot, but some files like StardewValley/Game1 are coming up empty. Is that expected?

[lucid iron]

my Game1.cs file is 16k lines long

its pretty important

[opal tendon]

oh that's awful ty tho!

I will do my best

[knotty steppe]

lmao ok thats good to know. getting a big stack overflow error that i was hoping i could just ignore, but i guess not....hmmmm

[lucid iron]

can u post the actual error

[knotty steppe]

it automatically made itself an attachment - let me know if a screenshot is better\

[lucid iron]

did you try -lv CSharp10_0

im guessing you omitted the gamepath that was supposed to be in -r

[obtuse wigeon]

Is changing the players walk speed based on the tile on the back layer able to be done using content patcher? Or is that a C# thing

[lucid iron]

i wanna say either spacecore or dynamic map tiles has this feature

[obtuse wigeon]

Oh good to know, I'll look into that, thank you!

DMT provides a solution to 2 other ideas I had, brilliant! Thank you

[gentle rose]

@ivory plume hi! I updated the content patcher schema PR to include a fix for a mistake I found in the Target field as well as fix an issue with the latest version of VSCode not liking some of the syntax the regex was using. Let me know if anything needs changing (also for the target field, I had it separate different paths using \b but I'm not sure if you would prefer them to be explicitly separated using ( *, *) instead)

had to add those brackets so discord wouldn't eat that leading space

[ivory plume]

Thanks for the PR! You just missed the SMAPI update cycle unfortunately, but I'll take a look soonish.

[calm nebula]

Nice colors, pathos!

[gentle rose]

no worries! it's not exactly urgent anyway

[lucid mulch]

oh pathos has fancy colours now

[hard fern]

yep, penny has a picnic with the kids

[obtuse wigeon]

Using only Content Patcher am I able to add a condition that uses the actual date on the users computer? Thinking along the lines of an april fools thing so a certain thing occurs on the first of april

[uncut viper]

no

[wanton pebble]

Bit of a headscratcher going on right now. Someone gave me a custom sprite for the Portrait Ticket for Darkroom Portrait Shop, and I've been trying to see how it looks in game. I was using my Saloon Breakfast code for Fresh Orange Juice and comparing the files, so I know they're both 16x16, I did a similar load, similar patch, etc... but I can't get the image to load. I keep getting this:

Json: https://smapi.io/json/none/8beff0a2b29743ae9cbbeb5a7995609e

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I know I have a lot of mods out of date and if you guys think it is the problem I can work on that

[ocean sail]

Log Info: SMAPI 4.1.10 with SDV 1.6.15 build 24356 on Microsoft Windows 10 Pro, with 96 C# mods and 175 content packs.
Suggested fixes: One or more mods are out of date, consider updating them, SMAPI is out of date, consider updating it

[obtuse wigeon]

Thats a shame, I'll see if something like SpaceCore or other library mods can do it and add it as a hidden option that isn't listed

[uncut viper]

they cant

[brittle pasture]

"SpriteIndex": 69,
does this look right

[wanton pebble]

.... ah. Since my prior code was referencing a vanilla asset, that's probably it

one sec

[obtuse wigeon]

Is that just not possible at all in the scope of mods then? I thought maybe with C# it might've been, ahh well, bang goes that idea

[wanton pebble]

Thank you, that was it. I'll have to make a note about redoing that code for any vanilla to modded assets in the future

[calm nebula]

It's fully possible to do, I think....Dr birds might have

[uncut viper]

it is very possible, they just dont do it for content packs

[obtuse wigeon]

Then I'll have something to look forward to when i get to learning C#

[lucid iron]

I feel the tradition is to just release the april fools mode on april fools

[uncut viper]

depends on the modding community i would say

no reason you cant do it early

Minecraft mods for example love to do so

[lucid iron]

Certainly nothing stopping u from releasing silly mode on any day of the year yes

[lucid mulch]

Having the date be updating frequently enough to be always correct isn't a thing CP supports easily.

[calm nebula]

Eh, a close enough is good enough tbh

[uncut viper]

assuming vanilla time speed itd be like 20 minutes off at most anyway and thats only if the player plays past midnight

[calm nebula]

Brb changing the system clock

I hear animal crossing has interest

[vital lotus]

with CP is it possible to make something like free cactus from desert festival?

[lucid iron]

yea it is

[calm nebula]

(I literally heard of this from the lovely r/bogleheads)

[patent lance]

https://reddit.com/r/bogleheads)

[lucid iron]

"FreeCactus": "Cactus/randomized_plant/1 1/1 1/1/350/2/[LocalizedText Strings\\Furniture:Cactus]/0/TileSheets\\FreeCactuses/true",

the randomized_plant is the important bit but i remember the tilesheet being rather hardcoded

so u won't be able to make bigger free cacti for instance

[calm nebula]

When is my wife Leah gonna give me randomized statues

[lucid iron]

but u can totally make a whole new random cacti item with different sprites of same shape

[vital lotus]

Ah, as long the assets fit, it should work right?

as the tilesheet hardcoded, probably need all the combination?

[lucid iron]

yea

[calm nebula]

ItsBenter I'm not going to make the mod I'm just going to try to convince someone else to

I don't make mods anymore

[vital lotus]

awww...

[lucid iron]

basically just take TileSheets\\FreeCactuses, draw over it following the bounds, load tx and add new furni, and u good

[vital lotus]

very interesting, some labubu plushie perhaps?

[lucid iron]

oh no

(yes )

[vital lotus]

I'll prolly should test how it's like when sells through shop

which combination and so on....

[calm nebula]

Oh dear

[vital lotus]

the cacti man just give it through dialogue and the dialogue string doesn's seem to have any command attached

[lucid iron]

it gets randomized on creation psure

[obtuse wigeon]

I'm atempting to use Dynamic Map Tiles Extended to make the players walk speed faster on certain tiles but I got this error:

[Content Patcher] Can't apply data patch "(CP) Paved Valley > Include SpeedTesting.json > SpeedTesting > entry #1" to DMT/Tiles: failed converting entry to the expected type 'DMT.Data.DynamicTile': Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[DMT.Data.DynamicTileProperty]' because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly.
To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) or change the deserialized type so that it is a normal .NET type (e.g. not a primitive type like integer, not a collection type like an array or List<T>) that can be deserialized from a JSON object. JsonObjectAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON object.
Path 'Actions.LogName'..

I don't think I have the wrong array type, the brackets match the examples on the nexus page for the mod, heres the json file, could someone have a look for me to see if I've missed something please: https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/cb426149acdb4381af8d81af1dbf453b

[round timber]

question that has probably already been asked a million times already: how do NPC rain schedules interact with location contexts? does it always obey the Default location context or do they obey the context that the NPC is currently in?

[uncut viper]

its always possible that the example is wrong

in fact further down on the bottom of the page is an example with the correct brackets

[calm nebula]

I believe it's the weather of their home location

[uncut viper]

looking at the code, it checks the NPCs current location when they load their schedule

the exception is GreenRain, which will always be loaded first as it only checks Game1.IsgreenRain and year 1

[obtuse wigeon]

Ahhh there is, good spotting, for the next time an error like this occurs, what part of the error actually gives it away that brackets after the {{ModId}}.<Name> are incorrect?

[round timber]

that works for me thank you

[uncut viper]

not those braces

the ones after "Actions"

"Actions" is a list of objects

[obtuse wigeon]

Ahh okay, are we both looking at the example furthest down the nexus page? bc both the brackets after "Actions" and the ones after "{{ModId}}.DMTAnimations" are different to the ones in the earlier example

[uncut viper]

(but to answer, its the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly.)

thats because DMT/Animations is a string to list dictionary

[obtuse wigeon]

Ohhh gotcha okay

[uncut viper]

youre using DMT/Tiles

and the Actions field within whatever type is used for DMT/Tiles is a list of objects

[worn oar]

would anyone be willing to convert this to at or cp? reading over how to use the converter it seems extremely complicated or i'd do it myself

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4580?tab=description

[obtuse wigeon]

I see now, got myself confused then, Unfortunatly it still doesn't work how I want but at least theres no error anymore

[lucid iron]

hm i wonder if lumi ever added these to another mod

[uncut viper]

lumi appears to have posted exactly that in the comments of this mod

[worn oar]

the cp conversion of their other mods doesn't have it

[worn oar]

it isn't in it, not sure why it was linked

[lucid iron]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/26505

[uncut viper]

well, no one here is permitted to redistribute it, so the answer is no, we cant do it

[worn oar]

"including: beech set, spring set, flower set, and flower pride banner set"

[lucid iron]

well i dunno have you grabbed the pngs to look yet

[worn oar]

yes

[lucid iron]

if they are truly not there then at least 26505 should serve as decent example for how to make CP pack

more on that here https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Furniture

[worn oar]

i've seen ppl convert mods like this and put it in the posts of the original mod all the time. the cp version says in the description someone else converted it

[worn oar]

what's 26505? also would making a new pack or using a converter be easier for someone whose never done the coding side of modding for stardew?

[lucid iron]

26505 as in this mod

[worn oar]

ohhh

[lucid iron]

i am speaking for myself that i don't wish to convert and repost the work of an author who was literally talking here yesterday

you can do whatever for personal use ofc

as for difficulty i think furniture mod pretty straight forward

[worn oar]

oh ok gotcha ty!

[round timber]

this text means i cant put a local token in place of these coordinates right?
"DefaultArrivalTile": { "X": 15, "Y": 11 },

[lucid iron]

you can do it actually

[round timber]

:o

[worn oar]

would it be okay to dm them and ask about it?

[round timber]

what part should i replace

[lucid iron]

im confused why you want to do it tho

are you making a bunch of very similar locations?

[round timber]

most likely yeah

still in early stages

[lucid iron]

it's a point so it'd have to be like

"DefaultArrivalTile": {
  "X": "{{L@datX}}",
  "Y": "{{L@datY}}"
},

u can also just not care too much about it tho, since warps in and out is what usuall controls where u arrive at

[round timber]

oh yeah true

its been a while since ive gotten into the weeds with location stuff

[tiny zealot]

defaultarrivaltile is really handy for when you are testing a lot and debug warp bleh becomes very fast entrance

[lucid mulch]

I'm not 100% sure what places are still strict in only accepting booleans or numbers, but it would be certain token inputs/keys rather than anything on a data model

[tiny zealot]

(where bleh is some substring of your location id that uniquely pulls it from the location list)

[lucid iron]

i was very sad when i can't local token EditImage FromArea ToArea

pathos knew if i could i would query maff it all

[uncut viper]

it doesnt matter what other people have done, people in here follow the permissions laid out on the nexus page. like chu said, the author is active here, and itd be disrespectful to go against their wishes just because other people have already done so

[patent lance]

@calm nebula: fix this shit even though it doesnt matter anymore https://github.com/atravita-mods/StardewMods/blob/b26af1691335facebe60e551c098635c95513d14/AtraShared/Integrations/GMCMHelper.cs#L347 (7h ago)

[calm nebula]

I'm getting gasoline at Costco botto

[uncut viper]

shoulda thought of that 7 hours ago clearly

[obtuse wigeon]

I can't get this to work, I've decreased it to only change the spring_town tilesheet in any location and changed it to play a sound instead but that also isn't working, puzzled is far from describing how I feel, What are some things that could be wrong that I haven't thought about? especially given the log isnt giving me any errors: https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/ab3aeb1af438450c8ab82f6279f8e288

I'm assuming it's not even starting to be applied as the "LogName" : "SpeedTesting" doesn't even show in the log

[tiny zealot]

this looks like an included file, so i would start by making sure it's being Included. if you have any Whens on the include, they might not be satisfied for reasons patch summary may reveal

(i cannot offer advice on the DMT format)

[obtuse wigeon]

It is an included file, with no conditions

    { 
      "Action": "Include",
      "FromFile": "SpeedTesting.json"
    },

I'll give patch summary a test to see if it reveals anything useful

it looks like things are being changed according to patch summary DMT/Tiles | changed entries, I'm using Tiled to get the tile Indexes, does Tiled offset them or are they also true to the game

Also used DebugMode with the tile setting enabled and the same Indexes are listed so I doubt that's the issue

[tender bloom]

the furniture converter should work fine, just needs python and youre good 2 go

i even think pillow maybe made guis or sth, i dont mess w guis

[worn oar]

it looks really complicated. would that be easier than trying to add it to the existing cp conversion of the other furniture by that creator?

[worn oar]

nvm I found the tutorial with pictures and i think I got it. testing rn

[tender bloom]

It depends on how you feel about learning furniture format vs learning how to install python

I assume furniture formatting is new to you, but if not then maybe it’s doable. Also depends on how many items the set has, some of Lumi’s packs are way bigger than others

I’m biased because I made the converter, but I feel like it’s sort of a learn to fish/give a fish kind of tradeoff except both options involve learning

[worn oar]

yeah I think the converter was a lot easier, but ive used python scripts for modding in other games so I vaguely knew what I was doing once I got going

can it be used to convert dga to cp or only cf?

[tender bloom]

Only CF

DGA has too much flexibility

It doesn’t come in a consistent format

I thought about this for a bit but didn’t come up with any good strategies

[hard fern]

🤔 hm so. i think ive encountered a problem. ive made some items that are supposed to come in different colors, but since they're a crafted item, i can't use the flavored item stuff on it since it doesn't go into a machine...

so i would end up having to make all the variations myslef

(i forgot to sent the rest of my question)

would there be a way to like, make crafted items also flavored? or is that not possible

[brittle pasture]

https://github.com/zombifier/My_Stardew_Mods/tree/master/ExtraMachineConfig#use-some-machine-like-features-in-crafting-and-cooking-namely-copy-flavor-and-color

[hard fern]

thats great bc i think i'd actually die if i had to make every ring band + gemstone color + gemstone cut

[deep cypress]

With Content Patcher map patching: The x, y coords in the From Area, this specifies where the patch is to be placed on the original map? what does the height and width do here?
With ToArea, the x, y coords say where the patch comes from in the new map? The height and width of the From and To, do they need to match?

(I am reading the documents, I am just struggling to understand the meaning).

[latent mauve]

FromArea refers to things from the source map (the custom map/your FromFile) and ToArea refers to things on the map you are patching that TO (the Target)

[hard fern]

the width/height is the size of the patch in tiles

[deep cypress]

Hold on, wife having asma attack, brb

Am back! She's ok now. Ok, so this explains why my patches have struggled of late!

So, height and width should match then, or it's all rather bogus. Out of curiousity, why is the field in both, if they need to match? Or do I misunderstand it?

[lucid mulch]

you can have a single from map that contains multiple things you want to copy from and put them in different locations on target maps

width/height need to match but the x,y don't

[deep cypress]

Thx so much!!!

[gusty igloo]

Hello! I'm trying to add a touch action to the exterior of a building (specifically have an obelisk teleport when walking through it as I've turned it into a portal) and I'm a little stuck on how to properly edit the tile properties. This is what I've got >.> I was hoping someone would be able to help

                    {
                        "Id": "{{ModId}}_EarthWarp",
                        "Name": "TouchAction",
                        "Value": "MagicWarp Mountain 31 20",
                        "Layer": "Back",
                        "TileArea": {

                        "Y": 1
                        }```

[candid veldt]

Hmmmm...are you editing a vanilla map or a custom map? I think if I was doing it I would do an edit map action.

"Target": "Maps/Mountain",
    "MapTiles": [
    {
        "Position": { "X": 1, "Y": 1 }, // where you walk to initiate warp
        "Layer": "Back",
        "SetProperties": {
            "Action": "TouchAction MagicWarp <string area warping to> <destination x> <destination y>"
}
},```

[gusty igloo]

            "Target": "Data/Buildings",
            "Fields": {
                "Earth Obelisk":{
                    "CollisionMap": "OOO\nXOX",
                    "DefaultAction": null,
                    "TileProperties": [

                        "Value": "MagicWarp Mountain 31 20",
                        "Layer": "Back",
                        "TileArea": {
                        "X": 1,
                        "Y": 1
                        }

Editing a building

[candid veldt]

Ah, I missed the part about it being a building edit!

[gusty igloo]

Instead of it being a clickable action I want to be able to walk through it 🤣

[candid veldt]

If it was a building on a map I would say you could first make the tiles passable by the player by targeting and editing the map tile that its on, and then adding the touch action, but if its a building that you've added to the game like the ones Robin builds I'm unfortunately not sure.

[gusty igloo]

Yeah, I managed to get the farm obelisk on ginger island sorted because that is a map. And I was hoping it would work similarly as you can add tile properties to buildings

[candid veldt]

Ah I see! I have less experience with editing buildings, so I don't know where to start with that. I think you could make parts of the building passable (I've seen some mods that add things do that) but not sure how to attach the warp to that

[gusty igloo]

I did manage to get that working. I'll just keep scrolling through nexus in the hopes that someone did something similar with a custom building ;~;

[brittle pasture]

try setting width and height as well

of the tile area

1 and 1

[gusty igloo]

oooh, I didn't think of that. I'll try it right now

That fixed it! Thaaaaank you!

[lucid iron]

@golden basin mmap has some simple critter spawn features

https://github.com/Mushymato/MiscMapActionsProperties/blob/main/docs/tile-properties.md#back-layer-mushymatommap_critter-crittertype-type-dependent-args--

https://github.com/Mushymato/MiscMapActionsProperties/blob/main/[CP] MMAP Examples/critters.json

You can indeed make critters that move like vanilla ones but with special texture

[dusty scarab]

Hey, is there any other guide on data storing besides the normal wiki?

[lucid iron]

Wdym storing

[dusty scarab]

Saving data into a ModData or a json file

[lucid iron]

Normal wiki is main guide for this

What is your usecase here?

[dusty scarab]

I want to store a value that indicates a state a map should be in, and have a switch case change the map after the value has been changed.

Let’s say day 5 has been reached I want the map to be edited slightly, and I want it saved across different play sessions on the same save file

[lucid iron]

Ah usually ppl (including game) use mail flags for that

[hard fern]

Everything is mail flags in disguise....

[lucid iron]

Content patcher's EditMap+When encourage this use

[uncut viper]

also why is the wiki info insufficient

[dusty scarab]

Oh, I never even thought of that. I will look into it

[lucid iron]

But if you are in C# i guess u just gotta do it yourself

[dusty scarab]

Yeah but doesn’t Editmap only work when the assets are loaded into the pipeline?

[lucid iron]

Yep

[uncut viper]

everything you're editing should be in the pipeline

[lucid iron]

But since it's content patcher i was talking there's presumably a Load

Or they just target vanilla map

[dusty scarab]

Yeah but it’s say it’s a single play session

If I want the map to change several time, would I need to invalidate the cache?

[uncut viper]

you should already be applying your edits via the pipeline and invalidating the cache as necessary

[lucid iron]

Yea and in cp land invalidation happens if the context changed in relevant way

[uncut viper]

if you do not do that, then any other mod editing the map and invalidating the cache will erase your edits

[lucid iron]

You are just doing the same kind of operation but manually really

[dusty scarab]

Understandable, thank you so much!

Legends!

[lucid iron]

I think having to edit a map is also my threshold to just

Have a cp component to mod lol

[dusty scarab]

Oh an important question, let’s say that I’ve set the mail flag, how would I do it for new players that join from Multiplayer or does it load with the world?

[lucid iron]

Set the flag on the host

[cold marsh]

Is it possible to add an EditMap patch to a spouse room kind of like Seb's frog tank? I know spouse rooms only change once when the game loads or something

[vernal crest]

Yup, I made a mod that edits Seb's frog tank to give you a frog trinket. It involves two EditMap patches to Maps/FarmHouse2_marriage to change Seb's spouse room. The trick is to edit the farmhouse map after the spouse room map is applied to it.

[cold marsh]

Good to know, thank you.

[bleak spade]

Me: Finally finished my town and forest map redesign mods, and all the countless extra issues it caused, time to actually sit down and play the game...

Me 5 mins into new game: ...hmm, the path near the bus stop could look nicer... 👀

[latent cape]

Is it possible to add a simple custom mail with a specific friendship level of a certain character?

[lucid iron]

Yep trigger action

[latent cape]

Damn alright, I'll see to it, thank you

[latent flame]

@outer glacier again:(

[lucid iron]

Are you here to make a mod

[blissful panther]

Okay, that was a whole thing. Mods, am I right?

[lucid iron]

DH I think meep animals should support skins

[calm nebula]

Someone should make a mod where random things grow in your yard

That too

[lucid iron]

To use as bootleg appearance

[calm nebula]

Everything should support astheticd

[blissful panther]

Oh. Oh, no.

They... do. I apparently completely neglected that in the documentation.

Oops.

[bleak spade]

Just to get ahead of possible issues: If I were to make a basic EditMap action to load a basic redesign over the vanilla BusStop.tmx, will that cause any issues in terms of character paths, events or animations?

I'm not planning on additional NPCs or cutscenes

[vernal crest]

If you don't change any of the collisions or resize the map, shouldn't be any issues.

[bleak spade]

What are collisions?

Adding, moving, or removing tiles on the Buildings layer

Like if you just changed the Back layer so instead of grass, road etc it was sand as far as the eye could see - no problems. If you put a bunch of fences in new places, most likely problems.

[bleak spade]

I'm adding some benches on the Buildings layer, but I'm not changing the location of the main path or bus

Or moving fences

If you don't care about compatibility with other mods you're probably fine as long as you avoid the centre of the map.

[lucid iron]

Wow such speeb my wish granted in under 5min

[vernal crest]

However, lots of people want to edit the bus stop so there's lots of possibilities for mod incompat.

[brave fable]

sqeeb

[lucid iron]

I'll go update the thing i did for void then

[hard fern]

sdeeb

[lucid iron]

We should add a bus terminal

And have it sell expensive wood

We can call it the Middle Station

[hard fern]

Do... Bus terminals normally sell expensive wood

[lucid iron]

[bleak spade]

I only have mods for tilesets and quality of life, so hopefully it should be fine

[vernal crest]

Is this a personal mod then?

[bleak spade]

Yeah

[vernal crest]

Oh then yeah your need to worry about mod incompat goes way down

If you wanted to be completely sure you wouldn't mess with vanilla events you could use debug ebi <event id> to run all the events in the bus stop and check where everyone goes.

[bleak spade]

Right now I've got my Town, Forest and Bus Stop mods all in different mod folders, but at some point I might figure out how to lump them all together

[vernal crest]

Why are you making a new mod for each change?

[bleak spade]

Because I'm brand new to modding and I'm scared of breaking something 😅

[vernal crest]

That is a novel approach lol

[brave fable]

you can just make a backup of what you've got and take the dive

[bleak spade]

Its the mindset of... if I don't touch it, the sticky tape holding it together will hold

[lucid iron]

Usually if u have several content.json

You can turn em all into includes for 1 content patcher pack

[brave fable]

notice how every content.json file has a "Changes": [] list? you can just add all of your {...} entries to the same list

or, if you prefer, use Include actions to keep the files separate

[vernal crest]

Yup I second making a backup of your Mods folder and then just jumping in and breaking stuff

[bleak spade]

That's what I thought, but yeah I'll backup the separate versions just in case

[brave fable]

git makes it extremely easy to try new things. commit your changes so far, you've now got a backup, go wild and rip it apart

(don't rip the backup apart)

[bleak spade]

Time to break stuff

Says the person who writes rntire mods in Mod.Entry

Not even ModEntry. Mod.Entry

[brave fable]

i'm legally required to add that last bit

[lucid iron]

What does Mod.Entry mean...

[torpid sparrow]

where can i find the desert festival foods?

[vital lotus]

for i18n key, there's no need to have the mod id there, right? It's within one mod only?

[ornate trellis]

Objects_2 in tileshhets i believe

[lucid iron]

I think they only exist in dialogue

[torpid sparrow]

i mean the sprites

[ornate trellis]

Cant check rn since im at work but its in the folder where furniture is fosho

[torpid sparrow]

thank you !

[mighty quest]

Can anyone recommend a scalable way to detect if an StardewValley.Object is a machine?
Is there like a context tag or other flag for machines?

or checking if it is in a global machine dictionary

hmm does this work?
@object.GetMachineData() is not null

[lucid iron]

Yeah whether they have machine data is what makes em machine

I'm attempting to place a tile on the Back20 layer using Content Patcher "MapTiles" Property but I'm unsure what the "SetTilesheet" Should reference, I've tried the location that the tilesheet is loaded to, and variations of the tilesheet itself in my files. Heres the snippet I've got and the console is onlu complaining that it can't find the Tilesheet:

{
    "Position": { "X": 18, "Y": 14 },
    "Layer": "Back20",
    "SetTilesheet": "Maps/Assets/zzz_AtlasV_StoneWShadow",
    "SetIndex": "19"
},

[lucid iron]

Set tilesheet needs the name given to the tilesheet

E.g. untitled tile sheet

It has to already exist in the map

[fair locust]

the voices are getting worse. i have more mod ideas than ever before. help.

the curse draws nearer every day.

[obtuse wigeon]

Looking at the .tmx the tilesheet is called "zzz_AtlasV_StoneWShadow" and it exists in the map, Ive tried prefixing that with Maps/ and Maps/Assets/ and having it un prefixed

[lucid iron]

Do not prefix it with anything

[obtuse wigeon]

Thats what I originally thought and what I tried first, I've moved any tilesheet replacements to after this snippet and it still doesn't want to recognise it

heres the error exactly

[Content Patcher] Can't apply map patch "(CP) Paved Valley > Include Maps/BusStop/BusStop.json > EditMap Maps/BusStop #3" to Maps/BusStop: MapTiles > entry 5 couldn't be applied: SetTilesheet specifies a 'zzz_AtlasV_StoneWShadow' tilesheet which doesn't exist.
