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.

As I mentioned, you need to Load the map

violet valley

patent lanceBOT

You're loading a .json file and you're loading it into Data, not into Maps.

violet valley

#

You do need that Load

#

Because you need it to be able to put an event in there.

violet valley

But you ALSO need a map Load

violet valley
#

One sec

#

Ok

#

the right one

vernal crest
#

Yup that looks right

#

So do you already have that and it's not working?

violet valley
#

OHH I forgot to include it

#

Thats why

You really don't need a separate file that has just one patch in it, just FYI

Unless it's actually more useful for you to separate your mod out into such tiny, tiny pieces?

oh it's just for my personal game because the forest > beach warp is breaking my NPC pathing

pine elbow
#

yeah sorry

#

hold on think i found something that could fix it ill try this one more thing

drowsy pewter
#

Where do I look to run a trigger action that runs when a map tile is interacted with? I'm rusty with map stuff and can't find the correct tile property

pine elbow
#

its basic i thought i did everything right this is my content file

vernal crest
#

You are using a token called {{Tipsyavocado}} that you have not created. I believe that you were meant to use {{ModId}}and have mistakenly put Tipsyavocado in there instead.

pine elbow
#

kk

#

thanks

uncut viper
drowsy pewter
#

That's great because my mod is using both LOL

#

Well I have spacecore to add the tile property to a piece of furniture, so its actually a furniture interaction, but other than that

pine elbow
#

im just embarassed it took that long to figure it out i feel like an idiot even for a beginner

uncut viper
#

both spacecore and BETAS add both touch and tile actions to run something from Data/TriggerActions with only minor differences so take your pick basically
(for spacecore the triggeraction must be set to "Manual" trigger but in BETAS it can be anything if you want it to also trigger via other means)

drowsy pewter
#

SDVpufferthink Let me reread the spacecore docs related to trigger actions and see if I can figure it out

#

Havent modded in a while because I spent all my stardew time doing comms instead 😭

uncut viper
#

spacechase0.SpaceCore_TriggerAction <triggerActionId>

pine elbow
#

is it normal to be this shotty as a beginner

drowsy pewter
#

Okay so the tile property would just be Action: spacechase0.SpaceCore_TriggerAction etc etc

uncut viper
#

beginners often make a lot of mistakes! thats just how being a beginner uis

drowsy pewter
#

Got it :)

pine elbow
#

i made a mod progress

a lot of beginners dont often make it that far, either, so its something to be proud of

not sure if ever mentioned, but i headcanon him as 45-53

i dont think anyone is given an explicit age in stardew

iirc Jas was confirmed to be 6 at some point? but I can't remember where

vernal crest
#

Does it break anything if a manifest's Author field has two authors listed?

drowsy pewter
#

Dont think so

#

its just text like the description

tiny zealot
#

the only manifest text field that i know can cause problems is if you have the word "by" in your mod name, which causes the parsing on smapi.io/log to misread the line when tabling your mod list

drowsy pewter
#

I hope that when this mod is released someone out there will see and appreciate my very extensive trigger action + dynamic token crimes

tiny zealot
#

(for certain values of problem. it's just a display issue)

vernal crest
#

Yeah looks like it's fine, thanks y'all

drowsy pewter
#

@uncut viper Can you think of some method with BETAS where a simple message box can pop up, and a trigger action for another message is only run when the player closes the first message?

I essentially want to imitate the QoS tv channel. So click tv > first message > second message > hud message "You learned X recipe!"

#

Could also use dialoguebox if thats more extensive

uncut viper
#

Set a mail flag with the same action you open the TV with, then use MenuChanged to detect the dialogue box being closed while having the mail flag

drowsy pewter
#

Interesting!

uncut viper
#

Grant recipe + spacecore HUD message + remove mail flag

drowsy pewter
#

I would have never thought of that in a million years, thank you so much

uncut viper
#

the mail flag is so that you know this MenuChanged is specifically from the TV and not another dialogue box

lucid iron
#

hm but if your QoS has a portrait

#

you can just use the betas dialogue box and do $action

drowsy pewter
#

its a radio channel so no portrait

#

if i used the dialogue box i'd need to draw it like the radio is talking to you

#

which is also fine cus the game does that for the telephone

lucid iron
#

that is fun Dokkan

#

i think it would be simplier cus you don't need to make entire Data/TriggerActions entries

#

on the other hand the syntax is quotes hell

drowsy pewter
#

It's pretty complex other than that so i think I need to do trigger actions anyways

lucid iron
#

not for the click tv > first message > second message > hud message sequence tho NotteThink

uncut viper
#

(the DialogueBox can be used without a portrait anyway)

#

if you write None for the Portrait parameter its a portrait-less box

lucid iron
#

ill multiline this for clarity, gotta escape all these ", and my dialogue syntax is prob incorrect

furniture tile action: Spiderbuttons.BETAS_Action "
  Spiderbuttons.BETAS_DialogueBox "first message $action 
    Spiderbuttons.BETAS_DialogueBox "second message
      $action spacechase0.SpaceCore_ShowHudMessage "hud message"
      $action MarkCookingRecipeKnown Current <recipe ID> true
    "
  "
"
lucid iron
#

but yes quotes hell over here

uncut viper
#

this is where making use of BETAS features parsing tokenizable strings would come in handy

#

Spiderbuttons.BETAS_DialogueBox [LocalizedText YourStrings/Radio:DialogueOne]

#

(but with all the other parameters ofc)

lucid iron
#

so yes this is also viable i think Bolb

#

maybe ask avi for the actual correct way to write all this lol

uncut viper
#

Avi knows how to do it better than I do

drowsy pewter
#

It seems to skip the first two actions and only display the message from the third action. If I comment out the later actions, then the first one works fine. So they're all playing at once rather than changing on menu close. I'm sure I was supposed to do something differently https://smapi.io/json/none/87343ee052ae4d67989c2cd857bca734

uncut viper
#

oh, at the start id just assumed you already were using dialogueboxes and the first and second message merely had normal dialogue syntax breaks between them, then got distracted by something for 30min and forgot just enough context to not realize the later messages about the portrait stuff meant you werent using dialoguebox

#

however it may still work if you reverse the order of trigger actions?

drowsy pewter
#

Ah wait yeah let's do that

uncut viper
#

since Data/TriggerActions is an ordered list running these from bottom to top may work

drowsy pewter
#

Yeah I'm trying to match the tv channel style, so message box is better

#

Same thing if I reverse them SDVpufferthinkblob

uncut viper
#

oh right, because these arent actually being fired in order from the same trigger

lucid iron
#

Maybe use a stat instead?

uncut viper
#

the message box popping up triggers a new MenuChanged

lucid iron
#

So u can increment it

uncut viper
#

which then triggers another MenuChanged

#

a stat could work

#

though

#

itd have the same problem of overwriting the first message box

drowsy pewter
#

yeah

lucid iron
#

Complicated...

uncut viper
#

its a little jank but maybe turn that AddMail into a BETAS DelayedAction?

drowsy pewter
uncut viper
#

so the mail only gets sent after like, 100 milliseconds

drowsy pewter
#

also that

lucid iron
#

Tbh this is the first time learned you can leave the tv???

uncut viper
#

which will be too late for the second trigger

lucid iron
#

In between messages????

drowsy pewter
#

Lets try that

uncut viper
#

the only problem is if a player clicks through both message boxes within 100 milliseconds but im not sure thats actually possible

#

given that they have to like, pop in

drowsy pewter
#

If anyone reports it as a bug I'll accuse them of botting

uncut viper
#

there is also the possibility that DelayedAction timers wont tick if the game is paused, which talking to the TV may count as ? not sure

#

if the time is paused*

#

when i do mod testing im usually on frozen time (unless i have reason not to be) and during actual gameplay i only ever do multiplayer so time never pauses, so... im not sure under what circumstances time normally pauses

drowsy pewter
#

DelayedAction works like a charm!

image.png
uncut viper
#

oh good bc i was out of ideas otherwise

lucid iron
#

Yay

uncut viper
#

brain a bit cooked tonight

drowsy pewter
#

It's interesting, when the tv is talking it takes time to type out each letter, but with the message box its instant

#

Not a big deal

inner harbor
#

Chu... was it you who offered a few weeks ago to add an abridged farmer customization menu for my hairdresser to ES? Or am I misremembering?

drowsy pewter
#

but wondering if i used the wrong box

uncut viper
#

ah, Message mimicks the map and event actions of the same name, which omits the typing

lucid iron
#

Where's the ES C# source is it on gh

drowsy pewter
#

wooo this radio is great

uncut viper
#

(i dont think itd be a breaking change to add an extra parameter to make it type each letter, since looking at BETAS code it seems like the text has to be in quotes anyway, so it wont shift any argument indices...)

drowsy pewter
#

Ahhh nobody will even notice so don't worry about adding it!

inner harbor
lucid iron
#

Well I'm in me bed rn I'll do it tmr Sleepden

inner harbor
#

if I can find it I'll link it.

uncut viper
lucid iron
#

Will let u know, iirc the request is a player customization menu that only has hair option?

#

It seems like the sorta thing that would not go too well on phone tbh

inner harbor
#

Hair and maybe accessories, I think atra and I discussed. Theoretically it doesn't work on mobile anyway, but it may now.

#

And if it was possible for me to edit the text at the top, maybe? Like the shop menu.

#

And thank you very much ❤️

#

(also open to suggestions on how it could look better on phone)

lucid iron
#

Due to new rewriters in android smapi

inner harbor
#

ah cool (I guess), people keep asking on Reddit and my response should be that I've no idea, I don't play mobile and I cannot troubleshoot it so if it works, great! If it doesn't, I can't fix it.

#

That is good to know though because I was insisting it doesn't work. As it didn't prior.

lucid iron
#

The answer is always "well i dunhave a phone you tell me"

inner harbor
#

someone told me they had heard mixed things and I was just like... shrug last I heard it didn't.

lucid iron
#

If they do give a log then it is possible to infer what doesn't work

inner harbor
#

there's a lot of "Does this mod work with that mod" questions and really the only real answer is "Try it and see"

worn oar
#

how do ppl usually go about recoloring to match a specific existing recolor? Like matching vpr. is it just messing with the hue and saturation or is there a more precise way to do it?

stable grotto

the obvious answer is colour replacement

"Query": "({{Year}}%2)=1",
Is this the correct way of evaluating in CP when conditions if a year is odd?

uncut viper
#

itd need to go in the query token itself, the query token requires an input

#

"Query: {{Year}} % 2 = 1": true

#

(if you plan on including that condition in multiple places, it may be beneficial to make it a dynamic token called OddYear or something)

drowsy pewter
#

Ah yeah that's it, I'm never sure with query syntax

#

Is there a performance difference for making it a dynamic token or not?

uncut viper
#

i dont know if CP caches inputs on queries or not

#

but it was like 80% for ease of typing purposes too

drowsy pewter
#

Maybe I could make the current date a single token thats a string to match... but I already typed them all :P

image.png
lucid mulch
#

the query token itself has a cache which gets busted each day

drowsy pewter
#

should be fine then

uncut viper
#

the dynamic token would only get changed each year though, right

#

but its value would be cached

#

oh wait

lucid mulch
#

the dynamic token would be updating whenever its read, which would be daily

uncut viper
#

not if the query cache is busted im assuming

#

yeah i forgot to connect the dots there

#

is there a reason the query token doesnt cache its inputs so it doesnt have to recalculate them?

lucid mulch
#

it does, it just busts that cache daily

uncut viper
#

but is there a reason for that i mean

lucid mulch
#

it would remember 5 % 2 = 1 outputs true

uncut viper
#

i wouldnt think "Query: 1 % 2 = 1 would ever change

#

(for example for year 1)

drowsy pewter
lucid mulch
#

I think pathos has the cache busting there for memory reasons

uncut viper
#

if the fundamentals of math change thats a bigger problem than the query token not working

#

possibly

#

you may have different priorities SDVpuffersquee

lucid mulch
#

but its not possible for the query syntax to do non-deterministic outputs

uncut viper
#

memory reasons makes sense i guess, though im curious just how much itd add up on a big mod list

lucid mulch
#

I cant remember if I made query actually marked as deterministic or not

uncut viper
#

though it looks like it just clears it every time its UpdateContext is called

#

and then returns false in there

#

so wouldnt it re-evaluate potentially every timechanged even

lucid mulch
#

looks like I did make it deterministic, yay

#

though I'm not sure how well dynamic tokens will respect that mechanism

uncut viper
#

6480 could always go back to the tried and true method

# 
"When": {
  "Year": "1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15..."
}
#

(honestly... if it were for my own mod i might even consider this and turn that into a dynamic token. how often do people even get to years 30+?)

lucid mulch
#

I'm very tempted to add a PR for Range to have a |Step named argument or something, so you can do {{Range: 1, 101 |Step=2}}

uncut viper
#

thats much better than my momentary idea of "what if EveryOther token"

lucid mulch
#

would make time based ones a lot less slow doing |Step=100

#

not that the speed of Range really matters much anymore as its deterministic so if you give it literals it will just bake the output into the parent string

uncut viper
#

but itd help for this one specific instance!

#

and for people who make prices of things c onfigurable too, i guess

lucid mulch
#

also you could probably then do set schenanigans to make an "IsOdd" mechanism by merging a {Range: 1, 100} with {Range: 1, 100 |Step=2} and counting the occurrence of the desired number

ok. Im sure Im making a really dumb mistake here.

So im trying to send a custom mail. Based on the wiki and such I have:

      "Action": "EditData",
      "Target": "Data/mail",
      "Entries": {
        "RobinAxeFound": "{{i18n:mail.RobinAxeFound}}"
      },     
    },    
    {
            "Action": "EditData",
            "Target": "Data/TriggerActions",
            "Entries": {
              "{{ModID}}_RobinAxeFound": {
                "Id": "{{ModID}}_RobinAxeFound",
                "Trigger": "DayEnding",
                "Condition": "PLAYER_HAS_CONVERSATION_TOPIC host questComplete_100 1",
                "Actions": [
                  "AddMail Current RobinAxeFound tomorrow"
               ],
              }
            }
        },```

The mail SENDS fine but I get this:

Check if the key in the i18n file is right.

lucid mulch
#

did you have an entry in your i18n called mail.RobinAxeFound

oblique meadow
#

I do. This is currently the whole i18n:

"mail.RobinAxeFound": "@, ^^Test"
}```
lucid mulch
#

if you added that after the patch, did you reload i18n?

oblique meadow
#

i did. Yes

uncut viper
#

remember that reloading i18n requires a separate command

vernal crest

Using reload_i18n?

uncut viper

are you mixing and matching folder-style i18n with non-folder style i18n?

Good timezone, do we still use CP-A for animated custom furniture and is there a tutorial somewhere?

drowsy pewter
#

I believe you can but spacecore has better implementation and is used by more players

#

Does furniture framework do animations now?

vernal crest
#

You will want Furniture Framework, Spacecore, or MMAP instea of CPA

#

No tutorials that I know of but I just made an animated butterfly hutch using MMAP and it was very easy (there's instructions and examples on the GitHub, plus chu is very active here to ask for help).

FF also has instructions and Leroy is active and willing to help with questions as well.

Spacecore sometimes has examples but Casey is on hiatus so isn't available to answer questions but Spacecore is most used of the three frameworks so you're most likely to be able to find previous messages in here from people asking for help and getting it or being given examples.

I want my Recolor Patch support i18n, but I didn't understand the tutorial

rocky chasm
#

Thanks, I'll look into those

pine cipher
#

I only know to create a i18n folder and default.json and other language.json

#

I don't understand how to built-in API

#

Which file should I use i18n token in default.json?

#

Do I need to crate a new file to edit content.json

finite ginkgo
#

You can use the i18n token to call a translation anywhere you can use other tokens. The i18n token simply looks for the provided key in your default (or other present and applicable translation) and get the translation

For example let's say you have "Translated.Thing": "This is a translation" in your default.json, you'd call on that translation by using {{i18n: Translated.Thing}}

#

No extra set up needed

pine cipher
#

I'll give it a try.

#

It seems this won't work dose this mean tokens can't use here? "ConfigSchema": {

"{{i18n:Config.Extra.name}}":{"AllowValues" : "true, false, ", "Default": "true", "Section": "Extra"},

#

SMAPI show this in yellow color ConfigSchema field '{{i18n:Config.Extra.name}}': the name '{{i18n:Config.Extra.name}}' can't have input arguments (: or | character).

finite ginkgo
#

Config schema can't use tokens, however config options automatically use the keys conig.<config name>.name and config.<config name>. description for translations if present in your i18n

At this point, I'm updating an old mostly cosmetic mod from 1.4, and while they have good art, there are some gaps in the sprite sheets that they're using, and I want to make sure that the new outfits I put in the gaps (and in the winter and beach outfits, which the old mod didn't have at all) are actually thematically appropriate for the environments they'll be used in

finite ginkgo
#

Outfits as in npc sprites or outfits as in clothes (shirts, pants, etc) the farmer can wear?

steep valve
vernal crest
#

(If you're intending to publish it make sure the permissions allow that.)

steep valve
finite ginkgo
#

Well those can be relatively easy to figure out, either ask people if they know or find out the index of the specific sprites (indexes are 0 indexed, aka the first one is 0, not 1, and then it's left to right top to bottom) and look at either Data/animationDescriptions to see if an animation of that npc references the specific frame, or the more gruelling one if it's not there, check events to see if a showFrame or animate command does and see the context, if you were to ask me if probably ask people and hope they know what a sprite is used for

steep valve
finite ginkgo
#

Original mod author is ok with it being published

#

Personal edits to mods you don't publish are always ok, permissions to publish edits/updates is required

vernal crest
#

Yup their Nexus permissions either need to be set to allow modification without permission or you need to have proof that the author has given you permission (which might be a screenshot of a conversation with them or it might be them having updated their mod description to say anyone's allowed to publish updates for their mod, etc)

steep valve
vernal crest
#

To add to what Tedi said: if you're just doing overworld sprites you only need what's in the Characters folder (have you unpacked the game contents?)

steep valve
vernal crest
#

Then look at Tedi's message for how to find where NPC sprites get used in game and the Characters folder for where all the sprites themselves are :)

Hi, I'm a new modder. I don't know where the textures for the 3x2 tiles in front of the greenhouse come from. Can anyone give me a hint?

image.png
#

This is the original texture. And the configuration file does not mention where the floor tile texture comes from.

image.png UFWS5HIHNOERM.png
#

Maybe AdditionalPlacementTiles field, but it doesn't seem to indicate where the tiles come from.

gentle rose
#

is it from greenhouse_dirt maybe?

#

I seem to remember something about that

finite ginkgo
#

I’m almost certain those tiles are hardcoded and won’t be found in the data

#

(The tiles themselves are from the outdoorsTilesheet, but they’re draw in GreenhouseBuilding::DrawEntranceTiles in the game code)

Hi! I know Android compatibility is a difficult subject, but it doesnt even try to use my mod. It's skipped "because it's no longer compatible". It works fine with other systems. Did I miss some configuration stuff or is there just nothing I can do?

finite ginkgo
#

That implies something in it is broken on android (missing class being referenced, non existent methods etc), the log should have debug lines specifying why it’s broken/not compatible

blissful panther
#

Yeah, the log file itself should tell you those details. Not the in-game log.

swift belfry
#

Well I can ask an android user for it. Where can they find it again?

After adding a custom location through CP, what needs to be done in order for me to be able to access GameLocation specific things for that location, such as draw in c#?

finite ginkgo
#

What's the purpose here? Unless otherwise specified in the location data, all locations are instances of GameLocation, only way to distinguish between them would be using GameLocation.NameOrUniqueName or GameLocation.Name properties to check the location's ID

lucid iron
#

Unless you want to subclass GameLocation (need spacecore) there's really no particular way

finite ginkgo
#

Only reasonable way to do it is using harmony to conditionally patch the methods when in your location checking the location's name (without subclassing)

lucid iron
#

If you want to draw specific stuff in a location, use one of the smapi render events and just do it when player current location is your location

glass cipher
lucid iron
#

Like the drop box ? thingy

glass cipher
#

Yes where they'd need x amount of x item to build something.

But with the animated question mark cursor above it like the Beach broken bridge

lucid iron
#

Oh that one not the special orders dropbox ok

#

Using this plus Game1.currentLocation.NameOrUniqueName == "yourlocationid" should work for your usecase

glass cipher
#

Thanks appreciate it.

#

1 more quick thing if you dont mind.

How does the game track completed quests? I noticed there's a hasQuest and addQuest but nothing along the lines of completedQuests or something of the like

#

ah nvm. I see a questLog. This could be it. Will test

calm nebula

It does not track completed quests

You are in C# anyways just store mail flag yourself

Hi! I'm still struggling with Android compatibility. There's a line of code where my mod checks if the player chose the remixed mine rewards when creating their game:
if(Game1.netWorldState.Value.shuffleMineChests.Value == Game1.MineChestType.Remixed)
Android SMAPI can't load the mod at all:
Broken code in MineTreasureFramework.dll: reference to StardewValley.Network.NetWorldState.shuffleMineChests (field returns Netcode.NetEnum1<StardewValley.MineChestType>, not Netcode.NetEnum1<StardewValley.Game1/MineChestType>).
I don't understand what it means... Is there something I can do?

lucid iron
#

It looks like the type namespace is changed how strange

#

I don't think you can do anything except report to the android smapi dev

I want to change a description of an item but i cant find the tutorial for it

vernal crest
#

We don't have many tutorials, just look at the official wiki for objects to see the fields you can edit

#

Very quick tutorial: make an EditData patch with a Target of Data/Objects (if it's an object, otherwise use the appropriate data asset, use Fields instead of Entries to make sure you only change the Description field without changing any other fields (if you use Entries it will overwrite all the fields you don't change with the defaults which may not be correct for that object).

EDIT: Ignore that, do what chu said below about editing the Strings/Objects entry for the description instead. You can find the key by finding the item in Data/Objects and looking at what the Description field says its key in Strings\\Objects is.

lucid iron
#

If it's just the name i recommend editing the Strings/Objects asset instead

#

That way the existing vanilla items get updated

vernal crest
#

Oh yes I forgot the descriptions use that too

#

(I do know to edit Strings, honest. I just did it for the butterfly hutch rename.)

red egret
#

I found one in Data and one in Strings

but what command is it instead of EditImage?

vernal crest

i will have to edit both bc i want to change properties of some furniture (placeable everywhere and such)

#

EditData Strings/furniture: the FromFile field can't be used with an 'EditData' patch

That's correct, it can't be

Look at the EditData documentation I linked you to and follow that. It has examples.

Alright, I'm trying to figure out if I can simplify some code because it's gonna be annoying otherwise (though I can obviously code a lot of mind-numbing stuff). Where can TargetWithoutPath or things like PathPart be used?

#

Context: I have the following patch.

{
            "LogName": "Reject Ticket If Stealth Flag Active",
            "Action": "EditData",
            "Target": "Characters/Dialogue/Flor",
            "Entries": {
                "RejectItem_(O)AgentLyoko.PortraitShop_PortraitTicket": "{{i18n:PortraitShop.PortraitInProgress}}",
            },
            "When": {
                "HasFlag": "AgentLyoko.FlorStealthFlag",
            },
        },

I'm going to have to do this 24 times (one for each NPC, e.g. Maddie and Daia would also be two characters included), then do coding for each acceptance ones, which will have something in the i18n key like so:

{
            "LogName": "Flor Ticket Rejection (Not 8 Hearts)",
            "Action": "EditData",
            "Target": "Characters/Dialogue/Flor",
            "Entries": {
                "RejectItem_(O)AgentLyoko.PortraitShop_PortraitTicket": "{{i18n:PortraitShop.Flor.Reject}}",
            },
            "When": {
                "Hearts:Flor": "0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7",
            },
        },

What I'd like to do is use some sort of TargetWithoutPath to replace the NPC name so I can have one patch for all 24. However, given how I've coded things in the past, I'm assuming this will bug out or cause problems.

Are you asking if you can do this?

{
            "LogName": "Reject Ticket If Stealth Flag Active",
            "Action": "EditData",
            "Target": "Characters/Dialogue/Flor",
            "Entries": {
                "RejectItem_(O)AgentLyoko.PortraitShop_PortraitTicket": "{{i18n:PortraitShop.PortraitInProgress}}",
            },
            "When": {
                "HasFlag": "AgentLyoko.{{TargetWithoutPath}}StealthFlag",
            },
        },
{
            "LogName": "Flor Ticket Rejection (Not 8 Hearts)",
            "Action": "EditData",
            "Target": "Characters/Dialogue/Flor",
            "Entries": {
                "RejectItem_(O)AgentLyoko.PortraitShop_PortraitTicket": "{{i18n:PortraitShop.{{TargetWithoutPath}}.Reject}}",
            },
            "When": {
                "Hearts:{{TargetWithoutPath}}": "0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7",
            },

            "Target": "Characters/Dialogue/Flor, Characters/Dialogue/Maddie, Characters/Dialogue/Daia",
            "Entries": {
                "RejectItem_(O)AgentLyoko.PortraitShop_PortraitTicket": "{{i18n:PortraitShop.PortraitInProgress}}",
            },
            "When": {
                "HasFlag": "AgentLyoko.{{TargetWithoutPath}}StealthFlag",
            },
        },
{
            "LogName": "Flor Ticket Rejection (Not 8 Hearts)",
            "Action": "EditData",
            "Target": "Characters/Dialogue/Flor, Characters/Dialogue/Maddie, Characters/Dialogue/Daia",
            "Entries": {
                "RejectItem_(O)AgentLyoko.PortraitShop_PortraitTicket": "{{i18n:PortraitShop.{{TargetWithoutPath}}.Reject}}",
            },
            "When": {
                "Hearts:{{TargetWithoutPath}}": "0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7",
            },

I can't tell you whether it'd work, but it seems easy enough to me to test. It's something I would attempt because I don't know of any reason it wouldn't work.

Test with a dummy patch that does something easy to check, like replace their "Mon" dialogue with an i18n key with {{TargetWithoutPath}} in it if they're at 1 heart or something

Hello. I use a modpack that resprites all the characters and their portraits (Seasonal Cute Characters), however i wish to replace the Haley character/portrait design with another mod (Haley Revised). However, the new mod only supplies the image files as PNG instead of XNB. Is there a way to convert the file or install another mod possibly that does it instead? Or am I looking into the problem all wrong as well. Appreciate any help or advice.

I'm attempting to get my C# mod to output the item that has been added to a building chest called "AV_ASB_SortInput", so far i've got the console to output CSharp added StardewValley.Item[] to StardewValley.Objects.Chest. when any item is added to any chest, but I'm not entirely sure how to specify I only want it to register when an item is added to "AV_ASB_SortInput"

#

Here is the code in question:

namespace SMAPI_AtlasV_ASB
{
    internal sealed class ModEntry : Mod
    {
        public override void Entry(IModHelper helper)
        {
            helper.Events.World.ChestInventoryChanged += this.OnChestInventoryChanged;
        }

                return;

            this.Monitor.Log($"{Game1.player.Name} added {e.Added} to {e.Chest}.", LogLevel.Trace);
        }
    }
}

You need to fetch the Chest on the building specifically

#

Iirc the event args should say which chest changed

blissful panther
#

Might be good to get a list of all of the building chests for that building type on day start, and just compare the current chest against ones on that list to see if it's one of those? I can't see a nice easy way to figure out which building a chest is part of, if any.

obtuse wigeon
#

Forgive me I have jumped in the deep end with no C# knowledge and generic coding principles, the wiki says the required event argument is e.Chest which is what I thought the {e.Chest} refers to

Yeah i would build a lookup for this

I thought I'd just be able to reference the chest ID directly as itll be the only chest with this ID?

Hey, so I have a general ettiquette question. When making a mod, is it ok to use other mods' code as reference? I'm trying to make a portrait mod, and was hoping to reference other mods' code to figure out how to make things work. So I'd not be copy-pasting anything, but would be looking at how they format their code and set mine up in the same fashion. I imagine there's only so many ways a mod can be correctly set up for something as simple as portraits, right?

#

Idk how things work in regards to respecting other folks' work and referencing when it comes to code. I'm more of an artist than a coder and I'm more familiar with where the boundary lies in art (referencing vs. tracing) than in code 😅

lucid iron
#

With content patcher often there's exactly one correct way to do things

#

I do recommend giving the documentation a read so you know why it's the single correct way™ but it's good to start from mod that definitely works as a base

Gotcha, ty! I'm looking at the modding wiki and the documentation to learn, but will also be looking at how other mods set it up then ^^

#

I just don't want to be, y'know, stealing code lol. If that's even a thing in this context 😅

lucid iron
#

it could be but sdv modding is generally open source friendly

#

feel free to credit the mods you looked at though!

#

Heh it works! Being able to center the image or add text would remove some of the empty space, but either way, it works!

lucid iron
#

yea i can do that, i just dont know what you want blobcatgooglyblep

#

u can make a mockup maybe?

#

i also vaguely remember this is supposed to cost some money

inner harbor

Yes pls.

I'll make a mock up later. Wasnt sure what we were able to do!

does EditMap not work on custom locations or something?

lucid iron

it works did you target your map

dusky sigil

i'm pretty sure i did. though tbh i don't really NEED it anymore, i managed to do everything i needed to in tiled

lucid iron

you can patch export <your map asset> to be sure SDVpufferthumbsup

doing it all in Load is fine cus it's your map anyways

Ok so I'm probably missing something big and obvious, but I'm setting up my first mod. Atm keeping it super simple- just trying to get it to change Abigail's spring portrait. I've gotten the manifest and content files to parse so that SMAPI at least opens the mod in-game (I think? lol) but I keep getting an error that the specified path doesn't exist:

SContentLoadException: Failed loading asset 'Abigail_Spring.png' from SMAPI\duruznik.portraits: the specified path doesn't exist.```
#

I followed some guides on the wiki and wrote this in my content file, which seems to match what should work for something this basic?

"Format": "2.0.0",
"Changes": [

///// Spring Outfits /////
    {
        "LogName": "Spring Portraits",
        "Action": "EditImage",
        "Target": "Portraits/Abigail",
        "FromFile": "assets/Portaits/Abigail/Abigail_Spring.png"

    }
]
}```
#

wait I just realized I messed up the folders oh my god

#

Nope, even with it fixed, getting the same error. Am I missing something basic?

#

You're doing an HD portrait right?

upper forum
#

Yeah

#

Trying to use Portraiture as the framework. I have my manifest set up so it recognizes my mod as a portraiture content pack. That's the best way to do it, right?

safe kraken
#

What it says it's just that the path to Abigail_Spring doesn't exist, all the names are correct right?

#

You're trying to do it with Portraiture, not with the HDP compatibility?

upper forum
#

Would it be simpler to use the HDP compatibility?

#

I do know that portraiture doesn't support a lot of custom tokens, but the appearance system should work for that, right?

#

And I think all the names are correct? unless I'm going senile (which I might be lol)

safe kraken
#

The appeareance system would only work in case you use Scale Up or Space Core to downsize it

#

And being honest in some cases I don't really recommend doing so, Space Core needs to have code for each and every face so it becomes a lot of work, and Scale Up can consume a lot of resources which leads to lag

lucid iron
#

oh dacar i wrote a script to help with the spacecore case

#

i never heard abot scale up to consuming resources tho that's a new one

safe kraken
#

Yeah, it's strange

upper forum
#

Yeah I heard that scaleup is a big resource hog

safe kraken
#

But when I changed some of mine to use Scale Up 2 it ended up giving a lot of lag

lucid iron
upper forum
#

so best to set this up as an HD Portraits mod then?

lucid iron
#

you mean portraiture right

safe kraken
#

most likely cause it was a lot of pngs loaded, cause it was RSV, SVE seas and Vanila seas

upper forum
#

No, HD Portraits, using Portraiture's compatibility function to run

lucid iron
safe kraken
lucid iron
#

this is just a python script that auotmatically generates the spacecore edits

#

to make it less annoying

safe kraken
#

Ooooooh, I would have to take a look at it

#

And see if Bigger backpacks doesn't mess it up

#

For some reason it messes up the vendors portraits

lucid iron
#

bigger backpack is my nemesis tbh

#

i hate how it hardcodes all those ui offsets

safe kraken
#

YEAH, I'm pretty sure that hardcoded stuff is what messes with Spacce Core but I have 0 intentions to do something about it tbh

lucid iron
#

if u got a set of pngs for some character done (ideally vanilla) i can run it for u

#

wouldnt spacecore be find tho, it's targeting the actual spritebatch draw

safe kraken
lucid iron
#

so the offsets should be known NotteThink

Whenever you use it with Bigger backpacks

just direct them to the superior larger backpacks mod tbh

safe kraken
lucid iron
#

have you tried with this b4 i think it patches less of shop menu

safe kraken
#

I just added a Scale up version, cause a lot of people do not read unfortunately

upper forum
#

Ahh, I see. So I'd need to set this up with HD Portraits support in mind? Do you know where I can find resources to do that? I'm uh, very new to modding 😅

safe kraken
#

I still get asked how to make my mods work when I have in big letters how to

safe kraken
#

Maybe I should add a page to the modding page with everything I know about this...

upper forum
#

I mean that would be amazing haha, but also would be a lot of work for you for sure^^;;

safe kraken
#

It would be useful in case more people wanna do CP HD mods so I maybe will do it some day, For now you can take a look at my mods and see the code, if you have any question I can answer it

upper forum
#

For real? That would be awesome, thanks! So it's ok if I poke around and try to set mine up in a similar way? Obviously I'd give you credit on the mod page

#

(I'm really new to modding lol, idk how things work regarding copying ocde, etc. Dont' wanna overstep any boundaried lol)

lucid iron
#

we should bully iro into making a better HD portraits framework

#

with animation support n shit

safe kraken
#

Yeah! You wouldn't be the first one to do so

safe kraken
upper forum
#

Thanks so much lol, I know my way around pixel art just fine but with coding I'm like a tiny baby. I think I took a 2-week javascript class when I was 12?

#

that's... basically it lol

safe kraken
#

I'm always open to help, and the more CP HD mods there are the better imo. As that let's you do more funky stuff

upper forum
#

Thanks so much! I'll start pokeing around lol

lucid iron
#

i do dislike how scattered the HD things are rn

safe kraken
#

Yeah, me too. I see a lot of just Portraiture mods and feel they are missing out SDVpufferwaaah

#

You can add more headcannons and stuff, change portraits according to events stuff if you just tried CP SDVpufferwaaah

upper forum
#

Yeahh, and I tried getting PortraiturePlus to work but it was causing some wild conflicts with another mod's seasonal character sprites, somehow

#

Not even the portraits, just the sprites stopped working

safe kraken
#

Yep

#

Seasonal Rasmodia had some problems cause of that

lucid iron
#

something i havent really seen people explore is hd portraits via DDFC

#

i know a lot of the excessively large nsfw mods use these for 3/4 body portraits

safe kraken
#

I was already using HDP before 1.6 so it was the easiest transition for me

lucid iron
#

and they r at HD resolution so it theoretically should work

safe kraken
#

Also I'm afraid I would try to make full body art for that

lucid iron
#

it's not something you have to do

#

based on docs here i believe you can just set them to scale=1 w=256 h=256

safe kraken
#

I know, but remember I'm trying to make them talk just cause I think it's cool

#

Heck, Seasonal Razzy was created cause I wanted to do more Razzy

lucid iron
#

what is not very nice is that the DDFC system overwrites the vanilla appearances kyuuchan_run

safe kraken
#

what SDVconcernedCA

lucid iron
#

like if you had a DDFC portrait entry for the npc i mean

#

it'd ignore the picked appearance

#

i wanna say you just lave it at null and then set the scale/w/h tho

#

might work Dokkan

safe kraken
#

It might actually, I may try it depending on how easy the transition may be

#

(Mostly cause ARV seems to have some event changing outfits that will possibly be impossible in HDP)

lucid iron
#

R&D Dokkan

red egret
#

I failed

#

so what i wanted to do is take the furniture.json file from Data and from Strings and edit both and just link the edited copies to my mod

uncut viper
#

sounds much more complicated than just doing an EditData patch on them

#

not to mention that the game doesnt even use the .json files itself, thats just a result of the unpack

red egret
#

i wanted to edit a bunch of details for them, like the type of furniture, inside/outside.. idk how to do it in EditData while there is a neat line

uncut viper
#

if you're replacing specific drtails for existing furniture but not overwriting the whole thing you can edit specific fields with EditData

#

if you're replacing enough about the existing furniture anyway t hough you can just overwrite the whole line

red egret
#

ok i will try the EditData but its so confusing

wraith aspen
red egret
#

for the description, should i use [LocalizedText Strings\Furniture:Statue] or {{i18n:Statue}}?

lucid iron
#

is this your custom furniture or an existing game furniture

red egret
#

existing, im only renaming it and changing some properties

lucid iron
#

i dont see Statue tho

red egret
#

this is the new name i gave it

lucid iron
#

don't change the key

#

what is the furniture you are trying to change

#

also wait description yggy

#

you will need spacecore or mmap then

red egret
#

uhhh

velvet narwhal
wraith aspen
#

oh thats my bad, i was copying and pasting from the modding wiki so i missed that during my corrections

#

ty

#

i replaced the slashes with periods and it let me put them in the tank but theyre floating errors, any idea why?

20250809181512_1.jpg
#

do i need to make separate sprites for the aquarium?

royal stump
#

I think you need to wrap each aquarium texture entry in escaped quotes, e.g.

"{{ModId}}/desertcatfish": "0/float/////\"Mods/{{ModId}}/desertcatfish\"",```
because otherwise, those slashes in the texture are interpreted as another entry
velvet narwhal
wraith aspen
#

let me try that first before going to the trouble of making aquarium sprites lmao

velvet narwhal
#

"{{ModId}}_{{FISH}}": "{{INDEX}}/{{TYPE}}/{{IDLEANIM}}////{{ModId}}\\Sharks"

#

i have aquarium sprites though

#

uh, where did i load that

wraith aspen
#

i was basing these fish off pufferfish in terms of behavior which i dont think have seperate aquarium sprites? but i could be wrong

royal stump
#

oh, right, backslashes is probably the right way
(the wiki and vanilla don't have any examples for this particular asset)

velvet narwhal
# 
   "Action": "Load",
   "Priority": "Low",
   "Target": "{{ModId}}/Sharks",
   "FromFile": "Assets/Animals/Pau_Sharks.png"
  },```
#

it uh

#

ultimately depends ig, if you want them or not?

#

ignore all of my {{index}} that's just localtoken nonsense

royal stump
#

the item sprite might not look right as an aquarium sprite w/o editing, but getting it to work first will help

wraith aspen
#

well let me try adding the extra quotes first

velvet narwhal
#

you can just do the \\ route, idk exactly where you've loaded these assets, but just follow the same path

royal stump
#

try avi's example first, the double backslashes in the texture target, yeah

#

I was going off memory

velvet narwhal
#

my memory is shit so that's why i have templates for everything

royal stump
#

I've been making a gsq-ish system for a while, so escape quotes is my goto for everything SDVkrobusgiggle

velvet narwhal
#

for the FTM+CP thing? eyesh

royal stump
#

yeah, it uses tile queries™ to pick where to spawn, with more or less that format

wraith aspen
#

so like this?

2025-08-09_1.png
#

lets give it a shot

velvet narwhal
#

i assume you loaded each of these individual sprites like that though

royal stump
#

(e.g. "TileCondition": "CAN_PLACE_ITEM, AREA 10 10 5 5" to spawn in xy = 10 to 14 and not blocked by stuff)

velvet narwhal
#

mine is OneHonking.png™

wraith aspen
#

my load action used / not \

velvet narwhal
#

that's fine

#

there's an explanation somewhere about where \\ is necessary but i never remember

lucid iron
#

if its normally using / to delim entries

royal stump
#

the blackslashes are ignored by the "string split up by /" systems, but they're still treated like slashes in the texture

lucid iron
#

then u gotta not use / for the individual values

#

thats bout it

royal stump
#

\\ = \ = still a slash that the texture finder is fine with

lucid iron
#

sometimes i load my pngs to like {{ModId}}-Blah-MyThing to dodge having backslashes at all

royal stump
#

yeah, asset targets barely care about the concept of slashes or "folders" or w/e, it's just an old convention SDVkrobusgiggle

lucid iron
#

hm it'd be nice if TargetWithoutPath could take an arg for the delimiter

velvet narwhal
#

related to the "hell of spacecore" i am defeated, i giveth up

image.png
wraith aspen
#

Well uh. The double slashes crashed the game

20250809_183005.jpg
#

So I don't think that was it LMAO

lucid iron
#

No this is it

wraith aspen
#

It made the farmhouse go wonky like that, froze, and my smapi log was a wall of red text

lucid iron
#

You managed to load a texture now

velvet narwhal
#

what does your fish load look like

wraith aspen
lucid iron
#

Do u have all these pngs on disk

wraith aspen
#

on disk?

lucid iron
#

In your mod folder i mean

wraith aspen
#

oh yes theyre in an assets folder in the mod folder

lucid iron
#

I guess you can confirm just by seeing if all your fishies work as objects

wraith aspen
#

yeah the fish loaded as objects just fine

velvet narwhal
#

well the ragdollcat has one stray /

wraith aspen
#

and before i started coding the aquarium data, they were appearing in the water with visible fish but they were floating around like the way trash does

velvet narwhal
#

Mods/{{ModId}}\\ragdollcatfish
Mods\\{{ModId}}\\ragdollcatfish

wraith aspen
#

ah i see let me fix that

#

will see if that fixes it

lucid mulch
#

(also ensure the modid itself doesn't have forward slashes in it)

velvet narwhal
#

that's a fun one

royal stump
#

...oh, aquarium sprites are supposed to be 24x24, too SDVpufferthinkblob

velvet narwhal
#

oh right they're chunky

#

would it just ignore it and fill the gap? just be like, a weirdly topleftmost since they're all individual pngs?

the base game just doesn't give furniture-specific description text, it's all automatic based on the type

that's been changed in the 1.6.16 alpha, but that will probably take quite a while to come out

can i at least make it possible so the player cant sit on it?

I’m trying to write dialogue for a new custom NPC with different themes for each day, but I’m still struggling to come up with enough varied and interesting lines. Any advice on how to keep things fresh and fitting without losing consistency?

vital lotus
#

Some ideas i heard is to start with the npc reacting to stuff, so specific dialogue like in festival and conversation topic (CC completed) and so on. It gives the something concrete to focus and could inspire their daily dialogue along the road.

Another one is to wait till you wrote down the events as those also spurt ideas sometimes

I thought decompiling the game would help me figure out how to read a building chest on a specific building in a location, but I still have no idea how to do that, does anyone know of a C# mod that does do this that I can cross reference to try and figure this out?

brittle pasture
obtuse wigeon
#

Im not seeing that in the Buildings.cs files, only Building.GetBuildingChestData which takes 2 arguments, data and chest.Name, what would i pass as the data argument? the building name?

unless I've severedly got this wrong

uncut viper
#

there should defintely be a GetBuildingChest

#

and another overload for GetBuildingChestData, even

obtuse wigeon
#

I was searching for Building.GetBuildingChest, not GetBuildingChest whoops

obtuse wigeon
#

This is the snippet I've got so far now after doing stuff to remove the errors, I'm not sure where to define the building name itself, more specifically the name of a single instance of the building

if (!Context.IsWorldReady)
    return;

var Building = new Building();
Chest ASBInputChest = Building.GetBuildingChest("AV_ASB_SortInput");

this.Monitor.Log($"{Game1.player.Name} added {e.Added} to {ASBInputChest}.", LogLevel.Trace);
brittle pasture
#

that blank Building isn't going to have anything

obtuse wigeon
#

I though that's what this was doing and I just needed to add the name of the building somewhere so it knows to grab the building on the farm

#

so would I change var Building =new Building(); to the code to grab the building on the farm?

yes
I think this is mentioned earlier already but every GameLocation stores its buildings in a field named buildings

Creating a Custom NPC

Keep in mind that making NPCs is a complex process that requires learning many different aspects of Stardew modding.
Here are a few links that can help get you started on all that you need to know:

To use this command, type !npc.
uncut viper
#

the tutorial in the first bullet point will be very helpful

#

but to answer that question specifically, your NPC data is... wherever you put it. you're the one who decides where it goes. content.json is just the main file Content Patcher reads

#

you'll definitely want to look at Content Patchers documentation too but i believe that tutorial will guide you along those sorts of steps anyway

#

(but still recommends the docs as supplementary ofc)

shadow mist
#

Thank you so much, I’ll try it out!

uncut viper
#

an NPC is a very large undertaking especially for a first mod but if you've got the patience and motivation its manageable

obtuse wigeon
#

I think I've found the right part of the source code, StardewValley>GameLocations.cs > public Building getBuildingByName(string name), how I just have to find the building interiors unique name, how would I do that? is it the name set by my CP pack? or if I have multiple instances of the building on the farm how do I find the first building placed?

gentle rose
#

is moddata propagated to farmhands from the host?

uncut viper
#

as long as the farmhand can see the real version of the thing with the moddata

#

e.g. if the host puts moddata on an NPC, it wont be on the shadow world NPC a farmhand would see

#

likewise if a farmhand puts moddata on a shadow world npc it will just disappear

#

afaik anyway. someone can correct me if im misremembering

#

(and ofc a farmhand can always see an AlwaysActive location so for example the Farm's moddata is safe for this)

gentle rose
#

hmmm. I actually don't want this to propagate because there's no reason to, so I'll have to find somewhere else to put this

uncut viper
#

whats the context of this

gentle rose
#

just storing some extra textures for some npcs

uncut viper
#

storing the textures themselves?

gentle rose
#

yeah

#

probably just gonna stick it in a container in my mod class tbh, it won't build up or anything so gc shouldn't be a massive concern

uncut viper
#

why not store the asset name corresponding to the texture?

gentle rose
#

oh this isn't for like, long term anything, I just don't want to be reloading a texture every few frames

uncut viper
#

part of me is still confused enough to wanna know more but most of me says "i trust iro knows what theyre doing so theyre fine" so good luck SDVpufferthumbsup

gentle rose
#

oh why on earth would you trust that

#

I know nothing

uncut viper
#

you know enough to ask about needless netsyncing

#

im not worried about you doing something dumb and wildly incompatible

gentle rose
#

I'm animating something to do with portraits, I don't want to reload the portrait texture every draw call so I need to put it somewhere outside my postfix for safekeeping

#

(it's a postfix because I don't want to deal with prefix compat)

uncut viper

see you're answering why i trust you know what you're doing

gentle rose

high praise

#

we'll see if you take it back once this code is done SBVLmaoDog

the fact is after a lot of the code ive seen on nexus and in other modding communities, trusting that someone wont just reload textures every frame in a draw call is not the default state for people for me /lh

Would that also affect extra farms mods add that can have buildings on? like east scarp and Ridgeside so that only 1 building can be placed across all the farms?

#

are you calling me a publicizer or telling me to use a tool called publicizer

uncut viper
#

most of my projects start with a publicizer in my csproj now

#

no more reflection but be warned... you will have a hard dependency on Stardew Valley

gentle rose
#

well this being a stardew mod

I think I have a hard dependency on stardew valley regardless /lh

uncut viper
#

ynever know. maybe you couldve reused this code for Haunted Chocolatier

#

(Krafs.Publicizer nuget package)

#

or your other publicizer of choice

#

but i think krafs is the most used

Has anyone had issues with updating their mod on nexus? No matter how many times I try to upload a new version, the old file is still being downloaded, even after I've waited for Nexus to make the changes. I'm probably doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what.

The sprite sheet it’s on is called Companions iirc, but I’m not entirely sure where it is.

Thank you! Changing the name of the Zip file seemed to do the trick for me, but I'll keep that in mind for the future

# hard fern Tilesheets/Companions

any idea why this isnt working to replace the sprite? content.json:

    "Format": "2.3.0",
    "Changes": [
        {
            "Action": "EditImage",
            "Target": "TileSheets/companions",
            "FromFile": "assets/beellum.png",
            "FromArea": { "X": 0, "Y": 0, "Width": 176, "Height": 16 }, 
            "ToArea": { "X": 0, "Y": 160, "Width": 176, "Height": 16 }
        }
    ]
}```

Anyone have videos or tips/websites on info for how I can make a mod? I would preferably like to add something in the game instead of replacing something already in the game

#

I’ve never really modded so im a beginner

Making mods can be broadly divided into two categories:

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

To use this command, type !startmodding.

While trying to find a way to find the unique name of a location I came across the debug command debug worldMapPositions, I thought this might've been the right command however the name of the location it output was AtlasV.CPAutoSorterBuilding_AutoSorterBuilding9e2948d8-307e-4901-a60c-b42975a8775f, the 9e2948d8-307e-4901-a60c-b42975a8775f part leads me to believe that this is randomly generated each time a the building is placed, is this true?

depends of what "unique name" you needs

#

if you need the name of a specific instance of a building (ex, a shed), then you need the password style id

#

if you want to edit generic sheds then you use whatever names they are loaded as (which, for vanilla, is shed)

calm nebula
#

Look up guid

hallow prism
#

for your building it's likely AtlasV.CPAutoSorterBuilding_AutoSorterBuilding

calm nebula

Or just look at the name, not the nameoruniquename
