Couches are nice aren’t they

[undone fable]

having a bit of issues, for some reason whenever the farmer goes to bed the hat reverts back to its third frame (even when it isnt raining) and is frozen, and it stays that way until i refresh fs via smapi
https://smapi.io/json/none/02a7b2608b75486c9512a4791a014a7c

[hard fern]

things ive discovered i need to fix:

• i can walk on water
• stairs suck
• my house is dark because i forgot what lights are
• i walked through walls

map modding experience

welp i feel satisfied enough. i did some work

time to not look at this thing for a month

[uncut viper]

I thought I'd already fixed this in the past but I guess not. it'll have to wait till I get home later though, but sorry about that

[hard fern]

the good thing is only one of my maps had something wrong with them so the rest being ignored didnt pose a problem

[uncut viper]

(though if you didn't mind sending the tmx files themselves that had those issues it'd make it easier for me to fix the fixer)

[gray bear]

i think it just has an issue when reconizing custom tilesheets?

[hard fern]

🤔 odd, cuz most of my maps had custom tilesheets, and it threw the error at one but not the other

i can send the tmx though if you need

[gray bear]

weh

iterable?

[uncut viper]

no, I recognize the type of issue, I just must have missed a kind of edge case somewhere

from not being familiar with every possible way that Tiled may format a valid tmx xml

[gray bear]

can never win with tiled

[hard fern]

it's these three maps the map fixer is hanging on

[uncut viper]

thank youuuu, I know you'll not need it by then anyway but I should have the fixer fixed to handle these by tonight/tomorrow

[uncut viper]

iterable meaning it can't iterate over it but it was expecting to be able to i.e. it was expecting a list of things but only got one single thing

[gray bear]

thonk

[hard fern]

ignore the not-vanilla fruit trees, i threw in my recolor mods so i could see what my map would look like recolored but i forgot the actual main recolor... but my fruit trees work!

[gray bear]

nice!!

[solemn lagoon]

hi! I want to ask, is it possible to make an NPC's sprite glow like the player when they have the glow ring equipped?

[lucid iron]

I believe you need C# but it's actually fairly simple C#

https://github.com/Mushymato/StardewMods/tree/main/.jail/BirbGlow

[solemn lagoon]

Thank you so much! xD

[cold marsh]

Anyone else has noticed there's MarriageDialogue lines with very low priority that never get called if you have too much dialogue? I've been working on a NPC for years and I've never seen "season_<spouse>" or the "day of week" ones used even once.

Is this expected behavior?

[gentle rose]

I mean, the more generic a line is, the more it will be covered by non generic lines

kinda just how it is

[hard fern]

Yeah, the game will pick the most specific dialogue for the day, and it goes in levels. If you for whatever reason give your spouse dialogue for every day of spring, you'll never see generic spring dialogue because every day has its own unique line

[vocal osprey]

Hey all, still working on the RTL/arabic mod and so far things are going according to plan but I just need a better way to debug my code and I wonder if it's possible to debug smapi stardew valley instance using dnspy? On my end it keeps crashing

[lucid iron]

hm what system are you on?

[vocal osprey]

Windows

10 specifically

[lucid iron]

i think you can run debugger from visual studio (community) normally and it's all good

i am also kind of scared that you are the second person who apparently code mods with dnspy

[vocal osprey]

I don't actually but I find it a good way to prototype

Is it that bad?

[lucid iron]

ok that's not as cursed as the person who mods by using dnspy to modify an empty dll that they start with

but yes you can definitely debug smapi via VS

you can also hot reload

!hotreload

!reload

[ocean sail]

How do I reload my changes while I'm still in game?

• Content Patcher pack: enter patch reload <your_mod_id> in the SMAPI console window. This will reload and reapply all your patches (but won't recalculate the ConfigSchema or DynamicToken sections if you use them).
• Translation files: enter reload_i18n in the SMAPI console window. If it's for a Content Patcher pack, also run patch reload afterwards.
• C#: see the Visual Studio hot reload or Rider hot reload feature.

To use this command, type !reload.

[vocal osprey]

This reload thing I tried for content but I don't think it works for harmony patches/transpilers right?

[lucid iron]

hot reload doesn't work for transpilers but i think it should work for prefix/postfix

transpilers might work if u r just inserting a call to your own function? dunno im on linux and dont have hot reload anyways

should clarify that the c# hot reload is not the content patcher patch reload

[vocal osprey]

man you're a godsend

I need to try this out, thanks for advice

[tiny zealot]

hot reload works for any loaded C# code as far as i know, and i think in theory could work on transpiled code, but the problem there is the transpiler only runs once when you call Patch/PatchAll, so hot reloading doesn't help you

same problem is true for prefix/postfix; you can't add or remove a patch and get it hot reloaded, since the patch won't be applied or removed, but you can edit the functions you stapled on and those changes can be hot reloaded

if you had a way to unpatch/repatch your target methods after hot reloading i expect it would work. i don't have one of those

[blissful panther]

C# hot reload works unless you're Matt, basically. /lh

[humble timber]

lmao

[gentle rose]

I must confess, I've never tried hot reload

[calm nebula]

I've tried it on my sandwiches

Oh wait

[gentle rose]

and since I run the game the normal way even when testing, I can't even build my code while it's running

[calm nebula]

That's hot sauce

[hard fern]

i do cold reload, personally

[blissful panther]

Some day debugging will work again.

Some day.

[proven spindle]

I got visited by the fairy modmother today

Some kind soul on Nexus downloaded one of my mods, looked at the code, saw a feature I'd commented out bc I couldn't get it working, and messaged me with how to fix it

[gentle rose]

-# explain

[blissful panther]

(https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-112901/Rider-fails-to-attach-debugger-to-an-instance-of-SMAPI-Stardew-Valley)

[lucid iron]

-# justusevscode

[blissful panther]

I would, but when the debugger hits, there's a 50/50 chance that the window will break, making the cursor invisible and stop responding to clicks.

[ornate locust]

fairy modmother

[gentle rose]

6 more months and you'll get another reply!

[blissful panther]

That might be a Wayland bug, though.

[lucid iron]

oh rly

i had that bug for a while

it eventually stopped hapen

rolling release yay?

[blissful panther]

Yeah, it's on and off for me.

[gentle rose]

what if I try it and it just works and it turns out to have been a you issue all along /lh

[blissful panther]

I mean you're welcome to try... then I will ask for a clone of your entire drive minus /home.

But if run VSCode with the parameter: --disable-features = CalculateNativeWinOcclusion then the problem goes away. The VSCode window fires at the breakpoint correctly.

...surely it's not something that simple.

[autumn tide]

Hey! I need some help, would this line work? It's supposed to be for when you're roommates with Krobus, where Krobus gives you 10 squid baits on the 12th of winter, with only text boxes rather than speech because it's a friday

"winter_12": "%Krobus smiles at you, handing you ...something? [FLAVORED_ITEM bait (10) SpecificBait 151]#$b#%Wait.. 10 squid baits? Why-? #$b#%Krobus evidently notices your confusion, waving his hand to catch your attention, and then pointing at the calendar. Oh, SquidFest! You smile and hug Krobus in appreciation, who smiles delightedly.",

still new to modding and I wanna know if I did it right

[lucid iron]

can you give flavored item in dialogue

[autumn tide]

?

[lucid iron]

[FLAVORED_ITEM bait (10) SpecificBait 151] this bit i mean

[autumn tide]

I'm not sure, really new lol

[urban patrol]

also is that the correct format? i thought it was like this: "niko_dialogue.Wed6": "I baked some cookies earlier! Although I couldn't taste the dough very well.#$b#You have to try them and tell me if they're good!#$action AddItem (O)223 1",

[hard fern]

I dont think you can

Like in dialogue

The flavors

[autumn tide]

Ohh okay :(

[lucid iron]

i did make a mod that would let you do it but i dunno if you want a dependency for this

[autumn tide]

I like that!

where can I find the mod?

[lucid iron]

https://github.com/Mushymato/PeliQ

the thing you want is Stored Item Queries

after adding a {{ModId}}_SquidBait entry you can do $action mushymato.PeliQ_AddItemByQuery {{ModId}}_SquidBait in dialogue

[autumn tide]

TYSM!!!!

[lucid iron]

i think so anyways

let me know if it no work lol

[autumn tide]

You literally just answered the question I was typing lol

[autumn tide]

I still haven't implemented anything, just writing lines

[lucid iron]

u can check the bait maker in Data/Machines for what the format for a flavored bait item spawn rule looks like

[autumn tide]

okay, for mod ID should it be the ID for my mod? sorry dumb question lol

[lucid iron]

{{ModId}} is a token

[latent mauve]

{{ModId}} is a token used by Content Patcher that automatically fills in the UniqueID you defined in your manifest.json

[lucid iron]

so in actual game it'd be auto replaced by claude.KrobiModdy or whatever you put in manifest

[autumn tide]

got it okay

thanks!

sorry, still pretty confused, so I put the PeliQ-main file in my Mod folder, what should I do next to make my dialouge giving thing functional?

[uncut viper]

Harmony.UnpatchAll() works a treat for this and is what i do when i want to 'hot reload' a transpiler

i just assign that to a hotkey which immediately does another Harmony.PatchAll

iirc there is some attribute that can react to a hot reload event that can likely do that for you automatically

[molten summit]

I'm pretty new here so I likely cannot help, but this is likely too vague to get a response. Are you using C# or Content Patcher? Also, instead of "how do I make it functional", ask more direct questions like "How do I edit specific dialogue lines for a character's daily dialogue?". If you're absolutely not sure what to do next, it is likely best to go back to the Stardew Valley Modding Resource page or Content Patcher's modding documentation.

[uncut viper]

well theyre asking chu about how to use chu's specific feature so im not sure the CP documentation or the modding resource pages will really help

[molten summit]

Oh I see. A lot of people likely aren't going to have direct knowledge of that.

[autumn tide]

I genuinely have no clue whatsoever, I literally took a random dialouge mod and just mimicked their format with help from the SDV wiki

[uncut viper]

this dialogue mod was post-1.6 right

[autumn tide]

uhh

i think so?

[uncut viper]

not that it should matter TOO too much for dialogue but always good practice

[molten summit]

I'm hopping into the middle of this and haven't read exactly what you're doing, but if you're just trying to edit (or add) some lines of dialogue in the game, then it sounds like Content Patcher might work better as more people have used it and it has more support.

[lucid iron]

Yeah i have zero consumers using me mod like this

[uncut viper]

once you have PeliQ in your mod folder, then the action chu described here becomes valid dialogue action syntax

[lucid iron]

So any examples gotta come from me

[uncut viper]

you can just start using that query if the mod is installed

you dont have to interface directly with PeliQ, just have to make sure its installed

[autumn tide]

okayyyy

still a bit confused rn but I'll probably get it once I read more

[molten summit]

lol

[lucid iron]

for testing, after adding the data you need, you can type this in your smapi console
debug action mushymato.PeliQ_AddItemByQuery YourActualModIdWrittenOut_SquidBait

[uncut viper]

actually im correcting myself, if its a Stored Item Query and not the regular Item Query you would need to interface with it

[autumn tide]

I'm just winging it with my code lol, I have a google doc I put up earlier when I was aking for lore advice, once I get it at least partially done I'll put all my code there and ask for further advice

[lucid iron]

ill write u a example later

[molten summit]

keep going with it and you'll get the hang of it. things like this can be hard to get started, but it is a lot of fun

[uncut viper]

(thats what they are doing. chu's mod adds features that can be edited via Content Patcher.)

[turbid grotto]

Oop! Super sorry. Can I share other stuff about it like the art and things?

[uncut viper]

you cannot share anything that goes against rule 6 of this discord

if you want anything more specific an answer than that you'd be better off asking a junimo

[turbid grotto]

Alr thanks

[blissful panther]

(If it's very specific snippets that you're having trouble with, those can be shared as long as they contain no NSFW content and allude to nothing NSFW, and the name of the mod is kept out of the server. Though keep in mind that it could be very difficult to get help without the ability to share large portions of the JSON/C#. Especially if, say, it's a line of dialogue that you need to heavily censor to keep it SFW, but that's specifically what you're having trouble with.

Overall, technically fine if nothing NSFW is shared or hinted at, but it would be tricky, and you would run the risk of slipping up and tripping over the rules.)

[turbid grotto]

good to know thanks

this was in all honesty a dumb idea i had that was not intended to be taken seriously so i will probably change things

[celest salmon]

I have a quick content patcher question, when using the "when" block, how do I get content patcher to check for if a user has mod a OR mod b?

[uncut viper]

put them both in the value separated by a comma

"When": {
  "HasMod": "ModA.UniqueID, ModB.UniqueID"
}

[celest salmon]

omg, ok thank you sorry for the dumb question

[obtuse wigeon]

I didn't realise how different android SMAPI is, I knew it was different but so far people have come across like 3 different issues that are completely seperate and that work fine on PC that I can't replicate

[uncut viper]

a lot of the code for the game itself is different on android, not just within SMAPI. notably anywhere that a menu happens

[obtuse wigeon]

Is the game on android built in C# aswell or a different language like java/kotlin etc? cause that may explain 2 issues, the third one I could only explain if maps start at 1,1 instead of 0,0

[uncut viper]

C#

its still the same overall codebase, its just a bunch of it has android specific tweaks

[obtuse wigeon]

damn you android!

[uncut viper]

im not saying its not bc of android SMAPI specifically, just that its hard to tell where exactly the problem lies sometime

s

i think a lot of modders are generally in the "if it works on android, great, if not, oh well" camp and i think thats a perfectly valid camp to be in

[obtuse wigeon]

It would be great to support android but with no real testing environment available to me, it's quite hard to support it. That's exactly the camp I'm in, can't provide as much support but I can give it a go atleast

[uncut viper]

i think android modders are used to it lol

[obtuse wigeon]

I remember when I used to play on android, there were so many mods I missed out on cause they didn't work, then I bought the game on steam and never looked back

[lucid iron]

i think the main thing is actually just menu?

[spark garden]

compatibility patch question here: i've been playing with soft slow seasons, and PIF. most PIF rooms don't have built in compatibility with soft slow seasons, especially because i think the seasons in soft slow seasons work differently [the recolor changes twice per season i think], than other recolors. i'd like to figure a way to add compatibility in the individual mod, but i don't know where to start.

for context here's how it's showing up in game. the ground shows up fine [though on some rooms it doesn't work either], but 2/3 trees are showing up vanilla. the trees work fine while just playing in the regular game, and so does the ground.

[lucid iron]

and haunted harmony nonsense

[lucid iron]

hm i can't think of any good ways given how soft slow seasons work, can you disable season lock in PIF?

[spark garden]

i've been playing with it for a little. turning off the lock on spring didn't help with the trees.

[obtuse wigeon]

actually I have a question about testing multiplayer, when I don't have steam open I'm able to open 2 instances of the game, are these able to interact as if it was an actual mutiplayer game or would things not work as multiplayer should?

[humble timber]

i think 2 instances should work

but dont quote me on it

[uncut viper]

little tweaks where you'd least expect it too, like my transpiler that was broken in newDayAfterFade
it was a difference of one single opcode but thats enough to break a transpiler, ofc. who knows how many other random places have a single different opcode

and yes two instances of the game open is good enough

at least for practical multiplayer testing purposes

[lucid iron]

testing the scenario where mods are mismatched is harder but i think that's the user problem

[uncut viper]

you could do that too with SMAPI profiles

but i agree thats a user problem you shouldnt even need to test that

[obtuse wigeon]

Good to know, I'll be able to test multiplayer more extensivly in that case, guessing both games will write to the same log however though? is there a launch arg that I can add to write the log of one to another file? like 2 files alongside each other like SMAPI-latest.txt and SMAPI-latest-mult.txt

[lucid iron]

tbh i just read console

[uncut viper]

doubtful but shouldnt really matter since you can look in the SMAPI console

doubtful that theres a launch arg*

[lucid iron]

but what is the problem you have anyways

is ur mod no work

[obtuse wigeon]

it's no work for someone on android, CP componant works, C# one however doesn't, like at all, Button made the C# componant output when a building starts sorting to the trace, however that doesn't exist in the users log at all, but both componants are loaded with no other errors (thank you Button for adding that deature, I'd be lost without it) but it does work for other users on android

[uncut viper]

(for context: it starts sorting when a menu is detected and then closed)

[obtuse wigeon]

and another user (on PC) is having an issue where the warps to exit the building are off by -2,-2, I know I had the issue when making the maps but I fixed that before uploading, the latest is the only version with multiple interior sizes and I downloaded it and tested and I'm not getting that issue, No log from them yet though

[lucid iron]

@autumn tide here ya go https://smapi.io/json/i18n/f5141f3c687142018b93f2d05aae5b56

[autumn tide]

aaaah tysm!!!

[lucid iron]

so something you can do is, use a When HasMod mushymato.PeliQ on this edit

when peliq not there just give squid

[autumn tide]

okay!

[autumn tide]

like this, right?

[zenith sapphire]

Hey , I'm making an edit of that mod editing the ID as you suggested and its working great! I have just a problem about adding a modded location like : Custom_ShearwaterBridge, i tried to put it in this space like this:
but the fish doesnt spawn in that position like its not founding that place (i have no errors in the log)

[unique tusk]

Hey uhh I'm trying to add custom music for a custom NPC I'm trying to make and I'm lowkey lost 😭
I converted all the music to wav. and made a custom "music" folder but the tutorial I'm using is confusing me (https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:_Adding_Custom_Music) it says I have to replace an audio in the base game? But the mod it wants me to use no longer works in 1.6???

[brittle pasture]

as mentioned on the page that guide is outdated and no longer works

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Audio is the updated reference

[obtuse wigeon]

(You're really quick I only just managed to copy the link before you sent it)

[calm nebula]

Looks to me that is still targeting beach

[[Modding:audio]]

[empty radish]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Audio

[zenith sapphire]

oH ,Where? 😮

[calm nebula]

(Selph still got it before I go all the way to "audio")

[zenith sapphire]

The TargetField?

[calm nebula]

Yup!

[zenith sapphire]

Oh idont know what is that field?

[obtuse wigeon]

It tells Content Patcher what to modify, if you replaced "Beach" with "Forest" it would apply to forest instead, you want to replace "Beach" with the location you want to modify

[surreal skiff]

Hello, I was wondering if anybody could point me to a mod that adds Json Asset Boots to the game, I'm struggling to get mine to work and I'd like to see an example, I've been looking at the Dinosaurs Shirts and Boots mod, but apparently I'm missing something.

[brittle pasture]

obligatory "why JA"

you can add boots and shirts with content patcher now

[surreal skiff]

Did not know that, is there a tutorial for that? Sorry, I'm new to this

[lucid iron]

yea, and also put in a no mushymato.PeliQ_AddItemByQuery version of this dialogue

[brittle pasture]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Boots is the reference page for boot data

[autumn tide]

will do! thanks so much for your help! what's your nexux user, if you have one? wanna credit you there if I ever finish my mod

[surreal skiff]

Thank you

[brittle pasture]

!startmodding if you haven't made a CP mod before refer to its tutorial

[ocean sail]

Making mods can be broadly divided into two categories:

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

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

To use this command, type !startmodding.

[lucid iron]

you already have dependency on me mod mushymato.PeliQ so there's no need imo

[autumn tide]

Gotcha, thanks :)

[uncut viper]

(these errors have been fixed thank you for getting them to my attention)

[zenith sapphire]

Oh i see... i still dont understand how , in the new format, i can set in which season a fish spawn

in the previous version 1.5 i understood but since they changed the format i dont know

Is something like this?

[hard fern]

👍 glad i could help haha

[lucid mulch]

Season would be the name of the season (though I think technically it wont explode if you did 0->3 for spring->winter, 4 would anger it)

[lucid iron]

did you use a different xnb unpacker

[zenith sapphire]

oh so i could just write spring?

[lucid mulch]

yes

[zenith sapphire]

i need to put some specific syntax? because just with spring it give me a syntax error

[lucid iron]

!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.

[lucid iron]

did you forgor comma

[zenith sapphire]

no no i put comma, i wrote "Season": Spring,

[humble timber]

dont you need quotes?

[uncut viper]

you would need quotes yes

[zenith sapphire]

yes it worked!

sorry for bothering , thank you so much!

[heady hull]

Hi, I am new to modding, and want to make myself some dress
but I don't understand how the image layout works!

I am so confused

would really appreciate some help

[lucid iron]

in general there is something that tells game what to use rather than just image itself

it would be more helpful if you tell us what kind of mod you want to make/what effect you want

[heady hull]

Just a really simple dress

[lucid iron]

do you care about the walk cycle (i.e. will you do all those frames)

[heady hull]

similar to the dress in the game itself, but shorter and with different trims

[lucid iron]

ah you gotta fight pants.png theng 😔

[heady hull]

if I don't do all those frames, what will happen?

[lucid iron]

you will get to see the dress go up n down when farmer runs

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Farmer_sprite

[heady hull]

like will I suddenly go naked when I walk?

oh I see

[lucid iron]

if you dont need these, then you only need 4 sprites for the 4 facing directions

[heady hull]

so if I don't do those frames, the dress would be like, doesn't move when the farmer walk?

[lucid iron]

yea

which is alright for long dress

up to you basically

you can also start from a base dress, unpack the game to see them

!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.

[heady hull]

some mods I downloaded have about 20 frames for a dress, that seems like a reasonable middle ground between 4 sprites and the game's hundreds of frames, but I don't understand which frame corresponds to which

[zenith sapphire]

guys if i in my fish mod put the :IsBoss option, the fish will just be spawned 1 time or can be recatched?

[brittle pasture]

IsBoss gives the fish icon a crown, grants 5 times the XP and gives you a notification when caught. the actual catch limit is CatchLimit

[drowsy pewter]

mod idea, every fish is boss

[lucid iron]

Oh no

But some fish are big boss

[calm nebula]

All fishies deserve the crown equally

[unique tusk]

Hiiiii does anyone have a tutorial on how to SPECIFICALLY code a custom map you made??? into the game??? Like, I know Stardew Valley Expanded did it and I've been looking at its content.json but bro I'm so lost 😭

[lucid iron]

You got the tmx?

[zenith sapphire]

oH I have a question, i want to put specific fishes in specific season of the same map, but what i did was copy and paste the same code more times but it just didnt worked well, it gave me the last season i put , how i can do it in this code? :

[unique tusk]

Yes!

[zenith sapphire]

because i can put just one season per location, right?

[lucid iron]

https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:_Adding_a_Custom_Location_(CP)(1.6)

[zenith sapphire]

Sure https://smapi.io/json/none/dce3fbaf6dd343d89440cb9723ee986f

Its line 469

[brave fable]

(one day i'll understand why everyone sends screenshots first. one day)

[zenith sapphire]

The mod works, but i wanted to add different season for the same location (Shearwater Bridge)

[vernal crest]

You have to change the ID otherwise you're just replacing the entry

[lucid iron]

Sending you a PR in photo form

[zenith sapphire]

Ohh i see, i can put as ID anything i want? or need to be something specific

[calm nebula]

Bluebs please look at my code

https://tenor.com/view/conspiracy-charlie-day-crazy-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-qanon-gif-23738584

What am I doing wrong.

[tiny zealot]

serious answer it's probably a combination of 1. not knowing about the validator since they don't have the level of brain rot we do on here yet and 2. low friction (for them), image appears directly in chat instead of elsewhere

[vernal crest]

Anything you want, but keep your mod ID at the front of each of them so they stay unique (meaning other people don't accidentally put the same ID into their mod and overwrite yours).

And it needs to be the entry key as well as the ID.

[calm nebula]

(You could also gsq instead of the season field)

(Or put the season constraint in data/fish....i think....)

I think they want different fish in different seasons

But not necessarily for all locations? IDK

[zenith sapphire]

Oh wait, like this?

[vernal crest]

No, that entry key and ID are clearly not the same but they need to be.

[zenith sapphire]

Ohh ok i see i need to put Fisherman.AYCFCP.seabass.ShearwaterBridge.Spring also in the ID

Right?

[vernal crest]

Yep

[zenith sapphire]

Thank you for your patience xD I'm getting used i promise

[unique tusk]

Does anyone know what this means???? owo

[obtuse wigeon]

It seems to have a dependancy on itself

or 2 mods that are dependant on each other, and SMAPI doesn't know which to load first, cries, and doesn't load either

[ornate locust]

yeah a mod can't require itself, SMAPI will explode

[unique tusk]

Wait I'm still so confused why is it dependant on itself???

Did I mess up the manifest????

[brave fable]

in one or both of your manifest files, you've listed either both mods as dependencies of eachother, or the same mod as a dependency of itself

[obtuse wigeon]

If you included it's own ID as a dependancy, then yep!

[brave fable]

you simply need to remove the unnecessary extra dependency/ies to allow it to launch

[uncut viper]

(im surprised a dependency on itself doesnt have its own error message or isnt just like... ignored as harmless maybe with some warning text)

[unique tusk]

I can't figure out what to remove

[uncut viper]

its a ContentPack for Pathoschild.ContentPatcher

[unique tusk]

OOOOOOOOOHHHH

TY SO MUCH

[uncut viper]

though thats two different unique IDs, do you have two mod components?

[unique tusk]

Define mod components? owo

Sry I'm still vry new to modding ksgdkajs

[obtuse wigeon]

two folders, each have their own manifest

[calm nebula]

(There is a mod out there that claims to be a content pack for SVE)

[unique tusk]

Oh! No I don't :0

[uncut viper]

i dont think that manifest alone would result in that error message, since its not depending on itself

[obtuse wigeon]

(does smapi use an exact match or is a partial match alone checked for? I can't see why a manifest like that would do it)

[uncut viper]

(also, while not relevant to the error itself either, just a heads up that the NPC Creator you are using is very out of date)

it would never use a partial match

that would defeat the entire point of a uniqueID system

[unique tusk]

[obtuse wigeon]

That's what I thought, BlueJester do you have 2 of your NPC mod in your mods folder?

[ornate locust]

hm

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:

• Tiakall has a great tutorial on making a custom NPC for 1.6.

• NPCs no longer use dispositions, check the wiki page for the new NPC data.

• Aviroen has put together a template that will allow you to easily create a romanceable NPC.

• Feel free to jump into the https://discord.com/channels/137344473976799233/1277457201077813280 thread for more interactive feedback and help!

• Fireredlily has a WIP NPC Builder Please do report any errors you get with it into the NPC thread!

To use this command, type !npc.

[lucid iron]

consider taking a look at some guides

[unique tusk]

I do not

[lucid iron]

rmbr to test in minimal mod list if you can

[obtuse wigeon]

Hmm, not sure why it decided to throw an error like that besides incorrect content pack for field

[unique tusk]

It's saying I'm having issues now with the content.json??? Here's the log ;v;
https://smapi.io/log/9dc0f2335532451db1da39bbf302ae90

[ocean sail]

Oops, couldn't parse that file. Make sure you share a valid SMAPI log.

[obtuse wigeon]

You should paste the content.json into here instead https://smapi.io/json

[unique tusk]

https://smapi.io/json/none/79dd39ee707549f8b96b120ea6953728

[obtuse wigeon]

that link provides better validation for json files, where as the one you used provides validation of the log itself

[unique tusk]

Ty!! :)

[obtuse wigeon]

Whats happening is when you added the include files, you actually escaped the "Changes" field, you need to add the include files inside "Changes" field

[unique tusk]

How would that look in coding? :0

[obtuse wigeon]

Infact a lot of it seems to have been escaped multiple times, it needs to go above the ]

everything starting on and after line 34 needs to have the [ and ] removed, then everything from line 34 down needs to be placed before the ] on line 32

[uncut viper]

(just to reduce potential future confusion: the process to fix it thats being described (removing the brackets and moving things inside changes) is correct but "escaping" is a different concept entirely)

[obtuse wigeon]

(Gotcha, thank you, I couldn't think of the right words to describe it, I shall keep that in mind)

[unique tusk]

I think I did it?? But it's still not working

https://smapi.io/json/none/5949239dea3f4ab2914d0d9ce1c9f116

it's recommended to use a text editor with json support when you edit files

[obtuse wigeon]

Artifacts of the old NPC creator tool, unfortuantly this is where my knowledge ends so someone else will have to take a crack at helping you

[unique tusk]

Yeaahhh I might need to do the content.json from scratch

[lucid iron]

again i really recommend taking a look at a guide

[zenith sapphire]

Guys, can fish ID's be with space? like Atlantic Herring etc..?

[dusky sail]

Names? Yes. IDs? No.

[zenith sapphire]

Cause i have a weird error in smapi when i open my fish journal , it crash the menu and i get this string in SMAPI:

[uncut viper]

(this error mentions WrenSong though, isnt that from the guide then?)

[dusky sail]

I recommend camelCase (AtlanticHerring) or underscores (Atlantic_Herring)

[uncut viper]

i dont believe theres anything technically stopping you from putting a space in it

its just likely not recommended

as it may break parsing in other areas

[obtuse wigeon]

(Not to be pedantic but AltlanticHerring is PascalCase, atlanticHerring is camelCase, both are OFTEN confused for each other /lh)

[uncut viper]

emphasis on may

[tiny zealot]

if you are creating the id for an item you are adding, please follow the unique string id convention

[dusky sail]

😔 im a fake camelCase fan

[calm nebula]

Oh the parsing for the collections menu is Really Fun iirc

I wouldn't do spaces

[zenith sapphire]

In my case , i dont know why i got this error when opening menu fish journal:

im not sure where it'd break in the collections page

[calm nebula]

Got it. Using emoji

[uncut viper]

mind you, im not advocating you try, i am with ichor here

[calm nebula]

The way the shading is done

[uncut viper]

just that the question was "can" not "should"

[calm nebula]

The filled not filled

It's just the name concatinated with two bools

And I think it uses space as the separator

But I'm not getting out of bed to check

[tiny zealot]

i classify that question as "a fire that need not be played with", if i'm honest /lh

[uncut viper]

i think in the interest of expanding ones knowledge that its more beneficial to know why something shouldnt be than to simply be told it cannot be

otherwise, people may take these incorrectly stated cannots as immutable fact in other situations where it would actually be perfectly fine

[calm nebula]

The game has Fun Ideas of how string parsing works

[uncut viper]

see the not-uncommon way people correct others jsons by providing corrections that wont actually change anything at all

[calm nebula]

Often incoherent Fun Ideas

[uncut viper]

bc they dont know theu nderlying reason of why it was broken for them in the past

[tiny zealot]

Only use alphanumeric (a–z, A–Z, 0–9), underscore (_), and dot (.) characters in string IDs. This is important because they're often used in places where some characters have special meaning (like file names or game state queries).
this seems good enough to me, from the link i posted

[uncut viper]

not to mention that, if the only example of it breaking is the collections menu, it could be argued that its a bug in the collections menu that should be fixed

[tiny zealot]

"if you don't do this, your shit might explode and it's on you"

[uncut viper]

i agree thats enough! but that came after my initial answer (where i also said it may break parsing in some places)

[brave fable]

what was the question again

[uncut viper]

can a fish ID have a space in it

[brave fable]

maybe ✅

[vernal crest]

But don't ❌

(My reason is: I will be cross at you about it and then you'll feel sad)

[calm nebula]

Collectionspage.draw

Read it and reconsider

please dont

[brave fable]

so does atra fall into the 'low brainrot' or 'low friction' category for posting code screenshots 📝

[vernal crest]

That error is telling you that you put the value "Halibut" in a field that is supposed to be a Boolean (true/false). Or somehow caused it to happen.

[calm nebula]

what the fuck is happening with tab 5

[uncut viper]

to be fair, reading that i dont immediately understand why its fine for Cooking recipes, which all have spaces in them

[calm nebula]

high brainrot.

[uncut viper]

(or well, a lot of them)

[calm nebula]

because the cooking recipes don't matter.

the cooking items do

also what's up with tab 5 doing some random shuffling

[uncut viper]

right, makes sense

i dont remember which one is tab 5

[calm nebula]

achievements

[uncut viper]

thats because of the parsing Atra mentions

[calm nebula]

to be fair low friction.

[uncut viper]

"Something Halibut" gets split by spaces and the second one is parsed as a boolean

[calm nebula]

I love this game

CA, never change

[uncut viper]

because the name of the texture component would be "Something Halibut true true" or w/e

also where is the tab 5 shuffling

oh i see

thats choosing the random star icon

each achievement gets a random face on its star

[tiny zealot]

oh yeah aren't the faces seeded to your unique multiplayer id or something

[uncut viper]

("random" seeded random but yknow)

[calm nebula]

y'all made me get out of bed to find that code and post that screenshot smh

I'm going back to bed now

[uncut viper]

no theyre seeded by achievement name

[tiny zealot]

oh lol

[vernal crest]

Oh I see, thanks

[vernal crest]

Ok to be certain you're seeing this: remove the spaces from all your IDs

[obtuse wigeon]

I have a question about migrating from a config based method of changing the size of an interior to an upgrade bade method, Currently I have a config setting to change between and small, medium, and large interior for my autosorter, however someone mentioned changing it to an upgrade method using robin, for people who have the large size enabled, is there a way to automatically detect this and change it to the fully upgraded? so that if they don't have a way of accessing their chests remotely they arn't locked out of retriving their items?

or would having a "legacy sizing" config option be better?

[gaunt orbit]

You could keep the option in the config, and conditionally add a trigger action to upgrade the building based on the config value

@obtuse wigeon

Probably the simplest way to do it, and just change the default value to "no upgrade" or something so only people with existing configs get auto upgraded

[uncut viper]

what trigger action can do that?

[obtuse wigeon]

I'm not seeing a trigger action for a building upgrade on the wiki, guessing there needs to be a dependancy for that?

[gaunt orbit]

Oh huh, I thought for sure there was a TA for that

Oh wait I'm thinking of debug commands

Well, damn.

You could maybe do something janky like use the current building id as the upgrade and add the new building as the base for it?

So your existing buildings would be grandfathered in as upgrades

[obtuse wigeon]

I'm not opposed to jank, most of my most are held together by tokens and tape

[gaunt orbit]

Or just say "tough luck, use noclip, sorry."

[obtuse wigeon]

It may effect how the auto sorter works, I may have to modify the C# code too, it will certainly be a learning experience

[gaunt orbit]

Oh if you have access to c# that's a lot easier

Just iterate buildings and apply upgrades if needed

[obtuse wigeon]

I did think of no clip but I'm not too much of a fan of telling people to install a "cheat" mod

the mod consists of C# and a content pack but I don't know C# so I was looking if there was an easier way using content patcher, I really should put a good chunk of time into leaning C#

[gaunt orbit]

Basically "if building.id is oldid applyupgrade" and use only new ids for the new buildings

The game has a helper method to run code on all buildings everywhere

And IIRC you can just apply an upgrade to a building directly without doing the whole song and dance of construction

If the config file is on the cp mod though you'll need to put that info somewhere the c# can read it

[obtuse wigeon]

I'll keep that in mind, I'll have a look through the game code again and learn some C# and see if it's feesably something I can do

The config is on the cp mod side but can't C# mods read custom fields? so I could just add the config option to the custom fields section using a token or something so it can be read (ovs just a basic idea, not sure the erxact implimentation)

[inland rain]

on-the-fly map generation (and lakes, sort of)

[obtuse wigeon]

ayyy nice work! so you're making this procedural rather than placing maps in certain locations and manually making the connections?

[inland rain]

it's procedural, but you can add fixed maps to it as landmarks

like if you wanted to add a cave or a mountain, or a town

tysm

[gaunt orbit]

Good idea

[gentle rose]

what are these categories

[tired matrix]

is there any tilesheet tutorial for making custom objects?

[haughty charm]

There are many different tutorials on the modding wiki, but it really depends on what kind of object you're making. Crops? Fish? Furniture?

Question for y'all: I know there's a GSQ to check for shipped items (PLAYER_SHIPPED_BASIC_ITEM) if said item is tracked by the game for the shipping stats; can this apply to mod-added items?

[brave fable]

YOU created them

[brave fable]

there's no functional difference between vanilla and mod-added items, the game can't tell between them

[tired matrix]

Furniture i think i found

[haughty charm]

So as long as I don't exclude the items from the shipping collection, then I could use the GSQ?

[tired matrix]

Wtf is happening why does my custom npc just leave the map

HE LEFT THE GAME

[brave fable]

yep, should work as you expect

[haughty charm]

Thank you!!

[tired matrix]

Does someone know what’s happening here?

[urban patrol]

!json we’ll have to see your schedule

[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.

[obtuse wigeon]

I'm overriding the catagory of seeds using Calcifer and SpaceCore (Independently in seperate patches) and I'm wondering if I can override multiple items at once in the same entry, rather than having a seperate entry per item, I see I can set multiple targets, but that targets "Data/Objects" not "473" etc

[gentle rose]

I'm like. 70% sure I didn't

[brave fable]

.

[dire kestrel]

where is this large rectangular message box in Cursors used? 652, 1685

[brave fable]

oh, that's the fishing minigame bubble

[dire kestrel]

thanks, never played jpk past abby's event so wasn't sure

[obtuse wigeon]

can local tokens be comma deliminated like this for entries?:

"LocalTokens": {
    "SeedID": "473, 474, 476"
}

[lucid mulch]

it would become a set with 3 values iirc

[obtuse wigeon]

Gotcha, shame it wouldn't work, Even tried ["ID1", "ID2"] but it doesn't like [] at all in token values

Struggling to understand SpaceCore's CategoryTextOverride, this is not how I do it because I get an error that says there's no record matching key '473' under Fields.:

{
    "LogName": "Catagory Overrides for seeds",
    "Action": "EditData",
    "Target": "spacechase0.SpaceCore/ObjectExtensionData",
    "Fields": {
        //Spring Seeds
        "473": {
            "CategoryTextOverride": "{{i18n:SpringSeeds.category}}"
        },
    },
    "When": {
        "HasMod": "spacechase0.SpaceCore"
    }
}

For reference this is what the SpaceCore docs say reguarding CategoryTextOverride:

Objects - These are in the asset spacechase0.SpaceCore/ObjectExtensionData, which is a dictionary with the key being an object's unqualified item ID, and the value being an object containing the following fields:

    CategoryTextOverride - string, default null (no override)

[urban patrol]

are you sure it’s supposed to be fields and not entries?

i know i’ve used object extension data before, let me see how i did it

[obtuse wigeon]

It was entries 🤦 thank you

I didn't even realise it was fields, I just copied what I did for Calcifer which uses Fields not Entries

[urban patrol]

oh easy fix then yay

[obtuse wigeon]

I'm glad it was ngl

Is there a way to set the i18n to a vanilla string? or does it have to be in my own i18n folder

[urban patrol]

why not just have the data refer to the vanilla string?

since the game has its own translations

[obtuse wigeon]

Thats what I mean, sorry, quite tired but determined to finish this small ultility for my mod

I'm just not sure how to direct the translation to the specific string

[urban patrol]

use localized text

[vernal crest]

LocalizedText

[urban patrol]

then direct it to whatever the file and key are

[brave fable]

simply copy what the vanilla data entries do

everything they do, you can, too

[obtuse wigeon]

Okay that's tomorrows job then cause I am not comprehending basic things, oops

[gloomy lake]

if I move the graveyard on the town map via Tiled - do I need to change Abigail's event location in the files somehow?

[obtuse wigeon]

I think I messed up the formatting somewhere?

"473": {
    "CategoryTextOverride": "[LocalizedText Strings/Objects:SpringSeeds_Name]"
},

[brave fable]

ah. well in that case spacecore just doesn't respect localizedtext, which needs to be parsed manually by the c# component

[obtuse wigeon]

Ahh, okay, A bit annoying, but oh well, I'll just include it into the i18n files

[drowsy pewter]

yeah it wont know where the new graveyard position is

[gloomy lake]

thank you so much for your answer

would you know which file I need to change?

[drowsy pewter]

Events/Town or something like that, I cant help more than that though

you'll want to read up on events modding

[gloomy lake]

thank you c:

[obtuse wigeon]

Turns out the catagory overrides from Calcifer and SpaceCore don't work with Big Craftables

[gentle rose]

ah right. forgot about that me

brb making a Lacey update

[obtuse wigeon]

Nevermind, seems my mod talking to Calcifer isn't working properly, sod

Nope nevermind again, it doesn't like Big Craftables and my mod isn't talking to calcifer properly

I am even more confused, it only works when both calicfer and space core are targeting the same item, doesn't work seperatly though

!unpack Yeah I think you're right. If you unpack your game content you will find the LooseSprites folder. Inside that will be Cursors.png. You'll be able to open it up and find the correct coordinates that way. You'll probably have to change it to two patches instead of just this one, because there's no way to cover the entire shipping bin and lid in one rectangle without covering the pet icons.

Are you doing this in C#?

(Sorry that was to MartinD)

[bleak spade]

I added a nighttile change so the window lights up, but apart from that no

[gray bear]

is formatValue a thing

[brave fable]

yes. in c#.

[stark spindle]

formatValue is a Func<float, string> as I recall so you can just pass it the name of a method that takes in a float parameter and returns a string

[gray bear]

ah ok, that is much above my skill level, leave it to the c# people

[gray bear]

try sleeping and seeing it this appears? did it show up before you edited the map

[bleak spade]

I haven't edited the map since last booting up the game and I've slept. I might try earning another achievement and see if that pushes anything through

[vernal crest]

Looks like it, or Func<int, string>

[bleak spade]

Actually I'm just going to reboot the game and see if that works

[vernal crest]

Try a new save

[brave fable]

in any case, to make a text dropdown you don't want to use AddNumberOption, you want to use AddTextOption with the allowedValues optional parameter to change it from a text entry to a text dropdown, and then parse the selection to a number on set. i think it'd look something like this:

gmcm.AddTextOption(mod: mod,
    getValue: () => ModEntry.Config.MyNumberValue,
    setValue: value => ModEntry.Config.MyNumberValue = int.Parse(value),
    name: () => "My number option",
    allowedValues: ["0", "1", "2"]);

int.Parse will throw an exception if the value can't be parsed, but given you're using a limited set of values you define it's probably fine

[bleak spade]

Would adding a nighttile have affected it?

[swift belfry]

@vernal crest @brave fable well I can use a TextOption, if I can replace display something else than what I use in my code. Or it would create issues with i18n right ?

[brave fable]

not sure what you mean by display something else. do you mean the name or the values?

[swift belfry]

The values. My code is using a number but it has no meaning for the user so I wanted to make them choose between explicit options

[vernal crest]

Did you add the NightTile using CP or did you Load your map over the existing Forest map?

[swift belfry]

I think I got it. I was just bad at c# lol

[bleak spade]

I've edited the forest using Tiled and this is what is in my content.json

Does your edit to the hat mouse house intend for the mouse to be sitting at that little counter in front of the house when they do arrive? In other words, are all the tiles that you have placed on the map in that area on exactly the same layers as the vanilla ones? I don't know how the hat mouse works but it's possible that the mouse is always there but in vanilla there's tiles over the top of it before the house gets fixed.

[brave fable]

pretty simple, just use formatAllowedValue:```cs

gmcm.AddTextOption(mod: mod,
getValue: () => ModEntry.Config.MyNumberValue,
setValue: (value) => ModEntry.Config.MyNumberValue = int.Parse(value),
name: () => "My number option",
formatAllowedValue: value => ModEntry.Instance.Helper.Translation.Get("my.number.option", new { value = value }),
allowedValues: ["0", "1", "2"]);

here it'll take some i18n entry with the format```json
{
  "my.number.option": "{value} eggs per cat"
}

[dusky sail]

Forgive me if this is short sighted but... could you not just have the AllowedValues as "one, two, three, four" instead of the arabic numerals

Then it would do the drop down menu right

And if they need to be integers for something else just set up dynamic tokens

[bleak spade]

The area of the house the mouse appears on is on the same layer as in the vanilla map, and he wasn't there yesterday - but now I have earned my first achievement it's triggered him turning up but not the letter or allowing me to interact with him

[brave fable]

i'm not sure what advantage using "one" would have over "0", since then you wouldn't be able to just parse it from string to int without some weird extra behaviour for reading english language to numbers

[swift belfry]

Oh. Yeah, could work. I'm trying something, I'll try yours if I cant make it work!

[vernal crest]

Dynamic tokens are a CP thing and this is a C# mod

[dusky sail]

Ah! I didnt realize that part my bad

[vernal crest]

However, when doing this in CP you don't even need dynamic tokens. You can set the AllowedValues to ints and then use your i18n to make them appear as strings for the players.

[dusky sail]

Would that still do a dropdown menu instead of a slider? Now im just curious

[vernal crest]

I am not sure. I've done it with numbers and it's been a drop down, but they weren't an evenly stepped range anyway so I don't think they would've ever been a slider

[dusky sail]

Once im at my computer i oughta type up a fake little mod to test this

[vernal crest]

Are you testing with any content mods other than your own?

[swift belfry]

if it ends up as something huge I want my cut on the gains

[dusky sail]

U got it boss o7

[calm nebula]

Just fyi this is traditionally the role of the enum

[swift belfry]

you mean c# enum?

[calm nebula]

Yeah

[bleak spade]

Okay update: I slept and the letter from the hat mouse has now arrived. I have removed the day and night tiles from the hatmouse house just in case it was interfering, and restarted the game. The mouse is still non-interactable. There are now no edits to the hat mouse house except the tilesheet aesthetic change

[swift belfry]

Well there's many c# stuff I don't know how to use yet. I used to be a php developer (looong ago) and getting used to all of this isn't really smooth to me

[vernal crest]

You can't test with the same save, you have to make a new one.

[swift belfry]

And what stucked me here was c# not GMCM

[exotic ledge]

Hey everyone, making a CP Mod to replace Cat3 and Cat4 to resemble my GF's Cats.
The error: "13:35:06 ERROR Content Patcher Can't apply image patch "Cleo and Lilo > EditImage Animals/cat3" to Animals/cat3: target area (X:0, Y:0, Width:1128, Height:1288) extends past the right edge of the image (Width:128), which isn't allowed. Patches can only extend the tilesheet downwards." pops up in SMAPI Log but i dont know how I would have changed the image size if I just replaced some colored pixels."

[nimble marlin]

this took me so long to make but finally manage to get this cooking minigame working with @brave fable Love of Cooking! at the moment it's just something I made for fun because I thought cooking could be more fun with a minigame, there are still a couple things I want to do for example making the green zone size smaller the better your frying pan, add some effects and improve visuals overall

love your work btw Blueberry! it's all amazing!

[stark spindle]

Thats a really cool idea. It looks great.

[lucid iron]

your cat texture is not supposed to be 1128px wide

[cedar turtle]

By the looks of it you have a typo (?) in the target area section.
With your code, the game tries to replace the image with one being 1128x1288 pixels large.
Which doesn't sound right.

But I honestly don't have the right size in my head

[nimble marlin]

thanks! with Love of Cooking if you fail the minigame you'll get burned food, (without LoC you'll get coal), depending on the number of meals you create you get the same amount of minigames and the stars represent the number of ingredients used on the recipe

each round the arrow gets a bit faster too

[gray bear]

guess who decided to edit the ||summit|| map? it's me. wish me luck

(do i need to spoiler this here?)

[swift belfry]

incredible work!

[exotic ledge]

I guess PS changed the image size as well after I changed the Canvas Size? Now it wont let me downsize without quality loss, pain

[tiny zealot]

the mouse/sprite shows up immediately when you get the achievement, but the letter does not arrive until the next morning

[bleak spade]

I have now loaded a new save, where the only direct change to the hatmouse house is the change to the tilesheet aesthetic (no tile property changes etc.). The hat mouse now loads when the 5-heart acheievement is acheived, but I still cannot interact with him

[vernal crest]

Try taking out your mod entirely and checking with a new save again. Might be someone else's mod and you just didn't notice before.

[bleak spade]

This is me pressing 'E' and clicking

[cedar turtle]

PS?
Ideally you'd want the canvas the size of the image you replace from the start. So you don't have to deal with Rescaling and resulting funny pixels

[nimble marlin]

thank you!

[exotic ledge]

Photoshop
Guess so, just wanted to place a reference next to the sprites, thats why i increased the canvas size at the start

[cedar turtle]

Ah. I don't know how Photoshop works but when I do a reference image I just have it be an extra window outside krita/gimp 🙃

[brave fable]

looking good! glad you like it, need to attack the bug report mountain one of these days

[brave fable]

does it still lose quality if you set the transform sampling to nearest neighbour? provided you're going from ~1280px to 128px it should look right

[bleak spade]

I've removed all the extra mods apart from my own and now he has a sign showing up, but still won't talk to me

As an experiment I deleted the section of building to see if that did anything, and now I can walk on his face but still won't talk

[brave fable]

is there a tile with index 1972 on the Buildings layer on your map? if not, you can't use the shop.

[bleak spade]

There is

[calm nebula]

Does the game check for tilesheet name

[brave fable]

ah, yep - outdoors

[bleak spade]

For full transparency - I have created a custom tilesheet that is in Tiled as 'outdoors' (file itself is named spring_outdoorsTileSheet.png) that replaces the building designs with ones similar to Way Back Pelican Town

Which is why the house looks different to vanilla

I don't know if there's some kind of clash between the 1972 tile in that and the vanilla?

[calm nebula]

Can you use lookup anything to see the tilesheet name as seen by the game

[bleak spade]

I'll do that now hang on

I've done it

[tiny zealot]

ah, okay, z_outdoors is the culprit

[bleak spade]

Aaaah

[tiny zealot]

the forest map (hardcoded) checks for interaction with tile index 1972 on the tilesheet "outdoors" on the Buildings layer to do the hat mouse shop/text

[steep valve]

I'd like to check something that I've begun to suspect- does Haley's sprite with index 26 just never get used, at all? Or is there some usage case that I'm not finding. Searching the unpacked contents for even just the number 26 shows it only in the fonts and one showFrame Emily, neither of which would actually be relevant fo rshowing Haley's sprite with ID 26.

[bleak spade]

Here's the weird thing, I can't find 'z_outdoors' in my files

It's all spring_outdoorsTileSheet.png

[lucid iron]

That's the name of the tileset inside tiled

[calm nebula]

Yeah

Remove the tilesheet from your mods folder as a test

[bleak spade]

These are all the tilesheets in my Tiled map

[calm nebula]

Hmm

You seem to have outdoors twice

[lucid iron]

(why are there so many)

[bleak spade]

(I don't know, I'm not very good at this)

[calm nebula]

The z isn't your doing. It's smapi doing some sort of intentional moving mod added tilesheets to the end

[bleak spade]

So how do I fix it?

[dusky sail]

it just ignores the i18n names for the values if theyre all consecutive integers 😔 but i learned something today

[vernal crest]

Well poop

[gray bear]

am noob map maker. guessing you can't rotate tiles when placing in tiled right?

[dusky sail]

you can actually!

[gray bear]

:o how

[dusky sail]

or well. you can only rotate a single tile before you place it but

[gray bear]

thats what im after

[dusky sail]

these buttons

[gray bear]

ah! thank you <3

[dusky sail]

yw! glad i could help

[gray bear]

this might, take me a while

[dusky sail]

but itll be worth it. probably

[gray bear]

hopefully

wonder if i could make it so it only gets green™ after the player achieved perfection

so that ||spooky qi scene|| looks more cursed

[nimble marlin]

I'm not sure about the future of this minigame as a mod so let me know if you want to have it for LoC - I'm not near as good as you as a programmer but I do know the code would be much simpler and shorter if it was inside the actual LoC mod lol

[brave fable]

honestly it's probably way better off as its own extension/patch, i take forever to make updates to LOC and it'd be easier to support and improve it independently

[lucid iron]

You can always bully blueb for API trust

In the meantime though, you can harmony patch LoC

[gentle rose]

just fyi, rotated/flipped tiles (can't remember which one or if it's both) seem to break in winter for some reason

[vernal crest]

I still haven't had that issue

Having used both rotated and flipped tiles

[brave fable]

it's not that they break exactly, isn't it? just that they don't align well

[vernal crest]

I think Kisaa was finding that they unrotate?

(But I thought that was due to using an older version of SMAPI or something and then it was fixed in a subsequent update)

[gray bear]

well i got here

i'll see if i can like, replace all tiles so i don't use a rotated ones

[calm nebula]

Tbh for grass to dirt you don't need to rotate

There is a full set of grass to dirt

[gray bear]

yeah i don't think i did?

who knows tho

i'll find out

my memory is issue

[stares at cliff edges]

nvm i need to redo it cause i accidently built on the buildings layer.. well i can just

[vernal crest]

You can cut and paste

Using the rectangle select tool

[gray bear]

yeh i fixed my mistake :3 now to continue

[vernal crest]

No unrotation here?

[hard fern]

hm no they look normal, what tiles are supposed to be rotated?

[gentle rose]

interesting, ik avi and kisaa both had issues

[calm nebula]

(It was due to "old smapi version new game version")

[hard fern]

o

[vernal crest]

Wasn't that, as I said, with an earlier version of SMAPI that later got fixed?

[gentle rose]

more recently than that I think but maybe the recent issues really were just that one of the winter tiles isn't aligned correctly

[vernal crest]

That's why we now get patch export giving us TileData for every single tile reporting on its rotation status

[calm nebula]

Well that too

[calm nebula]

Oh that

That is atra being dumb tbh

[vernal crest]

A bunch of the winter tiles aren't well aligned

[calm nebula]

Tmxtile reads in the tile rotation into a tiledata

And I didnt know it at the time when I made that PR

But it doesnt reverse that process even though it should tbh

[vernal crest]

It certainly makes patch exporting maps more of an adventure now lol

[gray bear]

what are u,,,

seriosuly i can't find a similar looking edge peace and idk about them rocks

oh tiles,,,,why

[brittle pasture]

Animal Husbandry is one of the most popular mods of all time, so it's probably a combination of the overlap + Reddit not being rather active overall
if you want to feel free to post on Nexus too. even if it doesn't get too popular if it's a mod you like to play with then it's still worthwhile

[oblique meadow]

Doing mountain / cliff edges is more about stubbornness and spite and less about having the correct tiles.... If you get angry enough the tiles just magically show up on the tile sheet when they 100% weren't there before.....

[gray bear]

oh i'm fucking pissed

i guess vanilla matching should account for, some tiles

[brittle pasture]

my advice is that the only audience you should be making for is yourself; worrying about reception/what others think is a shortcut to frustration

[gray bear]

also don't use reddit

dunno about these though

confusing tiles

[fading walrus]

I suggest uploading it even if you're afraid no one will use it! There's always someone out there looking for something new

[oblique meadow]

I learned early on. Reddit will spin you in circles just to leave you more confused than you were before

[fading walrus]

My mods are fairly niche but I still get downloads

[brittle pasture]

yeah, maybe there's someone out there who appreciates a lighter, leaner approach to AH

[gray bear]

are they like two seperate rock pieces, is there like an empty edge

i do not see

[fading walrus]

I'd be happy to add compat with your meats too for an upcoming release of mine as well hehe

[oblique meadow]

Agreed. I make mediocre farm maps compared to the big players who make them and I still have people. The biggest mistake you can make is thinking you're the only one who wants what you want.

[fading walrus]

I have some foods in the works that need meat, and I intend to cover my bases compat wise so people aren't locked into using one specific meat mod

[gray bear]

!twocakes

[ocean sail]

If you discover that someone has made or is making a mod with a similar concept to yours, don't stress! Our community promotes the idea of "two cakes", where two versions of the same idea can peacefully co-exist. Your mod will have your own unique stamp on it that makes it special.

To use this command, type !twocakes.

[gray bear]

more meat

[brave fable]

i make

i usually don't get much further than that, so publish away, the world is your kingdom

[brittle pasture]

me too

[gray bear]

i am fighting tiled atm

make mod, be happy

[fading walrus]

It's as simple as "create mod page, make nice promo images and screenshots, upload file, set version, publish

Very easy

[oblique meadow]

Nexus is incredibly easy to get comfortable with. Just make sure you add your update key into your manifest once you get your mod id before you upload or you'll get like 20 comments early on "Hey SMAPI says there's no update key and to tell you"

[gray bear]

that seems,,, wrong

[oblique meadow]

~totally havent done that several times~

[gray bear]

when i start working on updates the first thing i do is update manifest

then i do the udpate

if you have any questions feel free to ask in here

we r nice

[oblique meadow]

This isfor the summit?

[gray bear]

[gray bear]

trying to do something about these tiles but

is confused

[fading walrus]

My tip is to take it step by step

[oblique meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/new-kids-on-the-block-dancing-bar-gif-1278225200235602436

[gray bear]

uhh what are the new tilesheets added in 1.6 called

[oblique meadow]

Outdoors 2?

[gray bear]

buh

this map already uses both

[oblique meadow]

Id try and be more help, but im in office for work today. So no tiled or Stardew :p

[gray bear]

lucky

can't believe i said that

[oblique meadow]

It's the tiled anger talking

[gray bear]

ok seriously what,,, do i do here

[oblique meadow]

Weird

If it makes you feel better, I have to figure out c# shenanigans because CP won’t auto water my crops for me 😝

[gray bear]

og looks like this

what even is it

[gray bear]

good luck

why cliff, why

[humble timber]

[gray bear]

me: ok im gonna green-ify the summit
me now: end me

this looks a little better but the edge is like, akward

[oblique meadow]

Question. Could you just hide the weird edge behind a bush or a tree?

im not sure your specific vision...but if it's behind a tree, not an issue

[calm nebula]

Use a back-1

[gray bear]

?

back-1?

tree sounds like a good idea too

how do tree go in layer? all in front?

[oblique meadow]

You can create additional object layers in tiled. So you have the back layer. You can create Back-1 and that gives an additional layer

[gray bear]

o

[gentle rose]

isn’t it Back1 rather than Back-1 though

[oblique meadow]

Like on my farms I have Buildings, Buildings2,and Buildings3. Just so I can have multiple layers

[bleak spade]

Won't the mod work if the tilesheet is missing?
I've replaced the tilesheet in the mod folder with the vanilla one and it's still not working

[gray bear]

how will back1 help me with this cursed cliff

nope, map will be taking them from the game

[oblique meadow]

Back1 would draw in front of Back where Back-1 would draw behind.

[gray bear]

doesn't that depend on the layer order

[bleak spade]

I'm currently trying to figure out why the hatmouse won't open his shop to me. I've modded the Forest map to move some things around, using some custom tilesheets - but the hatmouse is now non-interactable and I don't know why

[gray bear]

how does the hatmouse work, map wise

[oblique meadow]

My understanding is (and I could be wrong) there are really only 4 main vanilla layers (AlwaysFront, Front, Buildings, and Back) and they always draw in that order. Adding additional layers just creates the map regardless of the listed order in tiled.

[bleak spade]

I think we've narrowed it down to the tile index 1972 which is what makes the shop work (in the outdoor tilesheet), but I don't know how to fix it

[gray bear]

ah yes, hide the mess

[oblique meadow]

So if you had AlwaysFront, Back-1, Front, Buildings, and Back in that order, it would still draw Back-1 last

[gray bear]

so it goes by name, i see. thanks for letting me know

[oblique meadow]

Im just as shocked as you are that I actually know something 🤷‍♂️

[gray bear]

knowing good

[violet valley]

What is the best method for me to make a config option to allow skipping a certain event?

[bleak spade]

Oh wait a minute, deleting the tilesheet DID work

But how the hell do I keep the custom tilesheet without breaking the shop???

[oblique meadow]

You should be able to use Content patcher to modify the event to make it skippable . But if the player is supposed to get anything from the event you'll want to make sure you also set the setSkipActions

[violet valley]

How would I modify the event with content patcher?

[gray bear]

you can keep the custom ones where the map is. otherwise, you can load them into the game

[oblique meadow]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Content_Patcher

Should be a good place to start

[gray bear]

loading will allow you/other people to edit them if needed

[violet valley]

No an event in MY mod

i know how to mod

[gray bear]

are your events NOT content patcher?

[violet valley]

they are

[gray bear]

best way is a when condition i'd imagine

[lucid iron]

You just use a token then

[violet valley]

i was just wondering how do I modify my event with a config option

oh

[lucid iron]

When config token true

[gray bear]

when condition

[violet valley]

yeah but like how do I modify the event? with a load action?

[gray bear]

how are events formatted

[violet valley]

are you asking me or chuve

[gray bear]

in general, really

[violet valley]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Event_data

[gray bear]

can gsq use tokens

[bleak spade]

How do I implement a custom tilesheet without breaking the hatmouse shop?

[violet valley]

i forgot, i think..?

[bleak spade]

I need to replace spring_outdoortilesheet with my custom version, but doing it via Tiled causes the shop to become inaccessible

[gray bear]

i still don't understand how the hatmouse is breaking

[bleak spade]

Neither do I, but removing my custom tilesheet from the mod folder made it work again

[gray bear]

you can do it via VP

CP*

1. load your tilesheet
2. editimage spring_outdoortilesheet

[gray bear]

they can according to the wiki
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Game_state_queries#Content_Patcher_tokens

[violet valley]

alr

[gray bear]

my theory is there's a map edit used to make the hat mouse work and tiled is overriding it

[violet valley]

i figured out what i was asking tho

[gray bear]

-# please don't tag me in replies

[violet valley]

me or him?

oops sorry i just did it

my bad

[gray bear]

anyone, really.

[violet valley]

ok

sorry

[gray bear]

nw, happens. you do need to disable it every time

[violet valley]

ok

[bleak spade]

Would this work?
{
"Action": "EditImage",
"Target": "Maps/spring_outdoorsTileSheet",
"FromFile": "assets/spring_outdoorsTileSheet"
}

[gray bear]

please don't ping me. and add a .png in the from file, seems fine

[bleak spade]

sorry

[oblique meadow]

Any luck with making that cliff not be dumb?

[gray bear]

nope

struggling

buh

[oblique meadow]

if you don't figure it out I get out of work at around 2pm MDT. I'd be more than happy to lend a hand

[gray bear]

that's 11pm for me but like

don't sleep well so myahaps

what r edges

they kish

im adding a tree

no harm no foul

[oblique meadow]

Funny enough, that's how i fixed an issue on one of my farms. I couldn't get this corner how i liked:

so I added a bush

[gray bear]

ur a map making genuis

[oblique meadow]

No. Im creatively lazy

[gray bear]

are trees only on buildings? or is it like, trunk on buildings, leaves on front

[oblique meadow]

I tend to put the lowest part of the trunk on buildings and the rest of the tree on the front layer

can't walk through the tree, but can walk behind it

[gray bear]

i actually quite like this edge

[gray bear]

i think i get what you mean

where is the rest of that stump

[bleak spade]

Okay so the hatmouse works if I don't have the spring_outdoorstilesheet.png in my mod folder. But how do I editimage cp it into the game? Do I create a separate mod folder just for it?

Because having it in the same mod folder as my custom map edit breaks the shop

[oblique meadow]

The stump top to the left fits on the oak tree base.

you just need the have the tilesheets inside the modfolder

[latent mauve]

I usually just create a Tilesheets folder under my mod's assets folder and dump my map png files there with the assumption that I will be Loading them into the Maps folder via CP.

[gray bear]

load good

[gray bear]

is that the one on the left or right?

yes i do have 1k+ hours in the game

[oblique meadow]

the one on the left

[bleak spade]

Currently I have all my .tmx files and tilesheets all in one assets folder. Having that specific tilesheet in the same folder as the forest.tmx breaks the shop, but I still want that custom tilesheet

[gray bear]

uhhh

[oblique meadow]

Then call your custom tilesheet z_spring_Outdoors or w/e and load it as a separate entity?

[oblique meadow]

This is fine. It's wearing pants

[gray bear]

pants got leaf husty

[latent mauve]

• If you're using a vanilla tilesheet with no changes, then there is no need to include the vanilla png file in your mods folder at all after you have finished editing the map.
• If you are editing the vanilla tilesheet png, then you can put the png in a different folder than your Maps and do an EditImage action to change the vanilla tilesheet.

[gray bear]

do this, remove tilesheet from folder

should be good

but again add .png to the FromFile

[gray bear]

the sock is bad. no fit any tree

where are the mahogony trees even

[bleak spade]

Remove the vanilla tilesheet? Or both vanilla and the custom? If so where is it pulling the custom from?

[gray bear]

remove vanilla tilesheet + the edit you made

run the editimage

actually no

save the edit

[bleak spade]

But where does the custom tilesheet live?

[gray bear]

i usually go assets/tilesheets/name.png

you would need to change the map to use the vanilla ones

think that's breaking

am i missing a tilesheet,,, where is tree stump

[bleak spade]

Are you trying to find this?

If so, then it's these two tiles (the lower half on the Buildings layer, the top half on Front layer)

[pine elbow]

interested in knowing which programming language does sdv use

google says c# but does it use any more for it's NPCs

[gray bear]

ty

[lucid iron]

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:

• Tiakall has a great tutorial on making a custom NPC for 1.6.

• NPCs no longer use dispositions, check the wiki page for the new NPC data.

• Aviroen has put together a template that will allow you to easily create a romanceable NPC.

• Feel free to jump into the https://discord.com/channels/137344473976799233/1277457201077813280 thread for more interactive feedback and help!

• Fireredlily has a WIP NPC Builder Please do report any errors you get with it into the NPC thread!

To use this command, type !npc.

[lucid iron]

It's true that sdv uses C# however you don't need to write C# just to edit content and that's what npc mods are usually about

[gray bear]

where is.. small bush

i may be blind

[lucid iron]

Bea what if u just spawn these by paths

[gray bear]

would that allow people to take them down?

i am hiding my awful mapping

[lucid iron]

Yeah and then regrow

[pine elbow]

no like the NPC logic

[lucid iron]

Bushes not really without mod

[lucid iron]

Can you be more clear on that? Which aspect of npc logic

(the answer is broadly yeah it's in the dll which is made with C#)

[pine elbow]

ohh aight

i thought it used somethig like py

[lucid iron]

But it helps to be more specific

No

[pine elbow]

aight

[gray bear]

but my wonky little mapp

it's a mouth

[lucid iron]

But they become shakeable if they r bush

[tiny zealot]

hat mouse shop and sewer door are hardcoded part of Forest code #making-mods-general message
using a custom tilesheet to replace hat mouse zone causes SMAPI to rename it z_outdoors, which breaks the check for the tilesheet name being outdoors exactly

[gray bear]

so it wouldn't do that if you just edit the tilesheet using CP right?

[tiny zealot]

correct. if you just edit the tilesheet image, the tilesheet in the map stays named outdoors and anywhere you put tile 1972 will trigger the hat mouse shop

oh, for completeness, wizard's tower door and traveling cart are also hardcoded in Forest.cs

[gray bear]

hey ichor u know anything about maps

bc i don't

[tiny zealot]

a little. i am intimately familiar with hat mouse, though, as one might expect

[gray bear]

finding edge pieces is akin to torture atm

[tiny zealot]

honestly it's looking very good. get those last few jaggies and you should be fine

[calm nebula]

Same with the monster eradication goals

And some stuff with the festival maps?

[gray bear]

i will then figure out how paths work and then like, hopefully fix it

[calm nebula]

(Hey Pathos can have named Tile actions instead?)

[gray bear]

issue is i can only test in my perfection save which has, a few mods

a few...

[lucid iron]

What does that mean

[gray bear]

which layer do paths go on

[tiny zealot]

what do you mean by paths

[gray bear]

thems

[hard fern]

They go on paths

[lucid iron]

Bea check a map like say mountain

[gray bear]

ah ok. sorry summit map did not have a paths layer

am add

[tiny zealot]

you may not need the Paths layer at all, if vanilla didn't have it

if you want to have debris, trees, grass, lights, etc. then you'd need it

[hard fern]

Yeah, you can just ignore it if you want

[gray bear]

i want paths

tree

[tiny zealot]

also important to note that the things on that layer are parsed when the location is first created and baked into the save file afterward, so just patching in new stuff won't do anything without RTF

(lights might be redone on load, unsure, but those are also for interior maps so)

[gray bear]

use RTF

what if it's a save where you haven't reached the summit yet?

or would that not matter

[tiny zealot]

good question. locations might be loaded all at once on new save but maybe it's only some of them. don't know

[gray bear]

thonk

[tiny zealot]

if any location should be loaded only when you need it, summit is one

[lucid iron]

Can you enter the summit if you debug perfection

[gray bear]

debug perfection doesn't actually give it

is broken

[hard fern]

🤔 its borken

?

[gray bear]

the console command

[lucid iron]

That's unfort

But bea you can just make custom location for testing

[gray bear]

how do

[lucid iron]

https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:_Adding_a_Custom_Location_(CP)(1.6)

[gray bear]

ty

[lucid iron]

You dont need to add warps cus u just debug warp there

And debug sleep

[gray bear]

zzz

[lucid iron]

Condemn test farmer to limbo zones

[gray bear]

o-o

oop left my map and the warp was to mountain so tried going back

qi pls

looks alright? i think

too much tree mayhap

assuming the non bg is cause it's custon and not the summit

[lucid iron]

Yep

[gray bear]

so apeart this one tile is passable
