making-mods-general

[scenic pecan]

yeah rest sure did do do that

How do i open the decompiled folder in vsc?

do you know how to do that?

[lucid mulch]

tbh I don't export files out of ILSpy at all and do all my searching and navigating in it, because I love ILSpy's searching and analysis tools

[gentle rose]

we said visual studio 2022 or rider, not vsc. vsc isn't designed for c#

[brave fable]

(unless you mean vsc to be visual studio community 2022, which is fine)

(aka. visual studio)

[brave fable]

this should all be explained in the decompile guide on the wiki

anyway, the goal of all this decompiling and such is to give you the full codebase to look over for your project

you'll want to make a new separate project following the getting-started guide on the wiki as a launchpad, and from there work out spawning monsters, and then spawning monsters on crops harvested

spawning monsters is fairly trivial, you'd just use something like new Bat("Bat", new Vector2(12, 24) * Game1.tileSize) to make a bat at the given map pixel position

getting the entry point to spawn monsters to be on crops spawned is the harder part, so once you've sorted the monster spawns we can give that a look

Mod idea
Amar that divides up the introduction quest by mods

[brave fable]

!modideas

[ocean sail]

If you have a mod idea that you aren't planning to make yourself, you can put it in the mod ideas github: https://github.com/StardewModders/mod-ideas

However, this does not mean anyone is guaranteed to work on your idea—modders who are looking for ideas sometimes go through and work on what they find interesting off this list. If you want to pay someone to make your mod idea, there are a few people who do commissions (mostly art, sometimes code); you can ask around, search usernames for the word comms, or see !commissions.

To use this command, type !modideas.

[drowsy pewter]

i have a mod idea, open world stardew

oh wait i cant make that joke anymore

[gentle rose]

(but also I'm not convinced that's strictly possible without some cursed harmony patches on content patcher, since the game doesn't know which mod each NPC came from)

[drowsy pewter]

you'd probably just care about expansion mods with a significant amount of npcs in one region, so it may be a manually mantained list

[brave fable]

honestly bewildering why i keep doing this to myself. it should be studied

i was thinking about doing some hakama to go with it but that was so many hours ago

[drowsy pewter]

I'm also wondering why you're doing this to yourself

[brave fable]

noone else has made yukata in the five and a half years this mod has been up. thion k of the roaylties

[obtuse wigeon]

NPCs sort of work with open world, their pathing is very muchbroken as they tend to want to go through the wilderness instead of town to get to the busstop for instance

I can't see this image clearly so I'm filling it in with my imagination

[brave fable]

bug: ur sleeves dont get drunk

[calm nebula]

Wow! That's a lot of frames for a cat

[brave fable]

oh wait they do but they dont show the meat behind them so its less red

[gray bear]

what is happening

[obtuse wigeon]

the format in CP pack should match the Content Pacther version in the manifest right? so rn with CP 2.8.0 being released, the format should be 2.8.0 too

[gray bear]

yeah

[obtuse wigeon]

perfect thank you

[lucid mulch]

in general yes, though it only really matters if you need the features in the newest version

[gray bear]

a slightly lower version should be fine yeah

[obtuse wigeon]

I just noticed the wiki was out of date and had 2.7.0 so I was just going to update it, but I have forgotten my wiki acc login details so I may not be able to

[lucid mulch]

so for 2.8 for example going from 2.7 to 2.8 would only be relevant for using Range |step, but it doesn't have migration checks ensuring you can only use it on the correct version

[obtuse wigeon]

Gotcha thank you!

It seems the format in the code blocks on the wiki don't actually exist on the page but in a seperate location

[lucid mulch]

pathos being a mediawiki god has it templated

[agile flame]

just need a quick help please i can't seem to find the right format for tools and items and furniture i read the wiki but still not sure how they should look and chatgpt can't think straight so can someone help please? here is my current format

{
  "Astraios.Motrin.NightmareMayhem_DreamAxe": {
    "ClassName": "Axe",
    "Name": "Dream Axe",
    "DisplayName": "Dream Axe",
    "Description": "Made for the dream world, this axe slices through even the thickest wood as if it were mist.",
    "UpgradeLevel": 4
  }
}
{
  "Astraios.Motrin.NightmareMayhem_NightmareFragment": "Nightmare Fragment/150/-300/Crafting -20/Nightmare Fragment/A shard of nightmare energy, pulsing faintly. It can be fused with others."
}
{
  "Astraios.Motrin.NightmareMayhem_DreamgateBed": "bed/1 2/1 1/1/0/-1/Dreamgate Bed/A special bed used to enter the dream world./0/Mods/NightmareMayhem/dream_bed"
}

[obtuse wigeon]

(code blocks use 3 backticks, the key below escape, ` )

[drowsy pewter]

Please don't ask chatgpt for any help with modding

[obtuse wigeon]

also please don't use chat gpt it's useless for stardew

[lucid mulch]

do ```json if you want it to be colour coded

[agile flame]

ty

[agile flame]

i made a whole game with it it just sucks here cause lack of online info

[drowsy pewter]

Fine I'm just saying don't

[lucid mulch]

AI developed code isn't allowed on this discord

[agile flame]

thank you anyways

[agile flame]

no? how is that a thing

[lucid mulch]

<#bulletin-board message>

[agile flame]

image not code

[lucid mulch]

it explicitly says code as well

[agile flame]

also i took the format from gpt

[drowsy pewter]

to answer your question, tools and items and furniture have different formats. You'll want to look at each individual wiki page as well as look at the unpacked game files to learn how the format is

Okay

thats the problem lol

Have you unpacked the game files

[agile flame]

... ye okay thats on me

thank you

[drowsy pewter]

thank you so much

[drowsy pewter]

You're definitely welcome to come ask for help if you're not sure where to start

[agile flame]

Believe it or not im like 60% done with the code im great at c# just got no experince in making sdv mods although i have a friend who has been making mods for like 2 years

[dusky sail]

Everyone starts somewhere. I think the best way to learn is to just start doing it yourself

[agile flame]

wish all codding communities were like this

[lucid iron]

If you want you can put the content edit bits on C# too

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

[agile flame]

thats truly helpful

never got used to writing good comments

[obtuse wigeon]

Writing useful comments is also something I struggle with too, just remmeber it's better to have too many comments than not enough, being annoying is easier than being confusing

[agile flame]

last community i was in clicking a link even if it was verfied was prohibited they used to hack you thru making you their friend for years and then rating you taking all of your stuff and your account and selling them that is completly different from what i have seen here

[modest dagger]

bruh

[blissful panther]

I can't help it. I have to take part.

[calm nebula]

Can someone explain plz

[blissful panther]

Remember the mayo meme mod explosion?

It's... that, but tortillas.

[lucid mulch]

You dont have to make a tortilla mod, you can always release something else

[dusky sail]

Im kind of scared of whatever tortilla mod requires MEEP and BETAS

[calm nebula]

Sounds awesome!

I could do with a tortilla

[fading walrus]

What kind of hellhole-

[obtuse wigeon]

I've got 4 packs in the freezer, I'll send you some via bluetooth

[lucid mulch]

how is it that I procrastinated with releasing speedy solutions and accidently released it after 5 months during a meme frenzy

[fading walrus]

Alab WHAT

[blissful panther]

Tortilla.

[obtuse wigeon]

Speedy Tortilla solutions, It just optimises the tortilla, thats it, just the tortilla

[fading walrus]

No but why do you need meep and betas for this what kind of monstrous tortilla is this

[obtuse wigeon]

I have been trying to dismantle the blur to figure it out but it's so very hard

[lucid mulch]

its a certified ShareX™ blur you wont defeat it

[obtuse wigeon]

"Baby popadoms with something" is what I've got for the desciption so far, which I know is probably not even close

[verbal narwhal]

if I register a custom tile action, is writing a content pack json that informs about where the tile action should take place and specifies on which map and provides a new tmx enough? or do you need to enter a custom property to the tile on the correct layer in tiled on that tmx too?

oh man I am so confues about this

[oblique meadow]

Ok. I’m sorry. I just woke up. Normally I understand those words but I’m struggling with the way you put them together

Can you rephrase? I’m not sure I understand

[lucid iron]

You can do an EditMap MapTiles to add the tile action

https://github.com/Mushymato/MiscMapActionsProperties/blob/1.11.0-rc.0/[CP] MMAP Examples/bag_inventory.json#L6

Sample

[verbal narwhal]

but what do you write in your c#?

to make it read that?

[gentle rose]

by the way, was the astraios mod id suggested by chatgpt? because I believe there’s another modder who uses astraios, so that may end up causing some confusion

[drowsy pewter]

I assumed they were working together but.yeah i was also confused

[drowsy pewter]

Please use my high res tortilla if at all applicable

i spent real minutes of my lifespan on that

[blissful panther]

...okay, absolutely using that. Was currently working on pixel arting a tortilla from a public domain stock image.

[drowsy pewter]

LMAO

You poor thing

[gentle rose]

…can you draw an animation for it— /hj

[obtuse wigeon]

Whould this work how i expect? It would load the data files in Data/mod.one/data.json only when mod.one is present? Dynamic tokens are still new to me

  "DynamicTokens": [
    {
      "Name": "SupportedMods",
      "Value": "mod.one, mod.two, mod.three"
    }
  ],
  "Changes": [
    {
      "Action": "Include",
      "FromFile": "Data/{{SupportedMods}}/data.json",
      "When": {
        "HasMod": "{{SupportedMods}}"
      }
    }
  ]

[drowsy pewter]

I was thinking of animating it so it works with confused tortillas

but i think my mod users would prefer i work on actual mods

[lucid mulch]

FromFile wont split like that I dont think

[gentle rose]

I don’t think so I think it will use all three for all three

[dusky sail]

a token can only ever be one value im pretty sure

[obtuse wigeon]

If they don't understand that tortillas come first they don't deserve your mod

[lucid mulch]

and the patch split logic runs before dynamic tokens evaluate

[gentle rose]

but I want a tortilla preview for my portrait mod— /j

[drowsy pewter]

Lmaooooo

[gentle rose]

(not exactly. tokens can be sets, though I’m not sure about dynamic tokens)

[lucid mulch]

Tokens can and do contain more than 1 value, See Also: HasMod

[obtuse wigeon]

I don't think that's the case for dymanic tokens
From CP docs:

The value(s) to set. This can be a comma-delimited value to give it multiple values. This field supports tokens, including dynamic tokens defined before this entry.

[dusky sail]

oh hm

i am always learning new things

[obtuse wigeon]

oh wow that was a lot of replys bahaha

[gentle rose]

sinz, while you’re here, are tbins more performant than tmxs in stardew?

[lucid mulch]

yes

thats why SpeedySolutions turns all tmx into tbin

[obtuse wigeon]

So it would do the include for all 3 tokens seperatly? or would it do Data/mod.one, mod.two, mod.three/data.json

[gentle rose]

how come?

[gentle rose]

it would require all three mods for all three includes

[obtuse wigeon]

Ahh okay gotcha

[gentle rose]

(how come they’re more performant, not how come you’re using the better version, obviously)

[lucid mulch]

tmx files first deserialize their XML into the TMXMAp format and then do all sorts of deeply nested hell to transpose that contents into a Map instance.
while TBin deserializes directly into the Map instance

[gentle rose]

interesting

[lucid mulch]

and Binary deserializion from reading a stream is faster than xml decoding, along with smaller file sizes

[gentle rose]

makes sense all in all

[lucid iron]

Is just the register action thing i discussed

[tiny zealot]

snarfing a binary directly to a class instance is a lot faster than even just the xml parsing step (famously zalgo), i would guess

[lucid iron]

If you want to look at the code path it's GameLocation performaction iirc?

[lucid mulch]

the biggest one is avoiding the data transformation, and for SpeedySolutions once its a tbin I can just in-memory cache the TBins as a immutable cache as deserializing that binary data structure is faster than deep cloning a Map instance

[verbal narwhal]

I just cannot seem to understand that

oh I will do that

[gentle rose]

where is the tbin format from, anyway? monogame? ik casey made the tiled tbin support plugin but idk what was used until then

[verbal narwhal]

but I think I rewrote too much of my code and now I myself dont really understand it anymore

[lucid iron]

How much do you know about functional programming

[lucid mulch]

its the native format of Tide / xTile

[gentle rose]

ah, I see

[verbal narwhal]

are you asking me, chu?

[lucid iron]

yea

[cold elk]

is there a sprite sheet, as place holder? like a all greyed out NPC for mod creators to try

[lucid iron]

like are you aware of the concept of passing around a function (delegate) as an object

[gentle rose]

haha stardew is the only non-demo game on the xtile/tide home page

[verbal narwhal]

if so, I have taught myself c# by only looking at tmodloader mods and tmodloader code - so I understand what things can do and which syntax they use but I am missing out on many terms

[finite ginkgo]

I could make confused tortillas work with inspect tortillas instead, special compat /silly /MAYBE I WILL

[lucid iron]

then ill avoid too much terminal comp sci brained words

[verbal narwhal]

is that callables?

[lucid iron]

yea some langs call em that

[verbal narwhal]

why do all the things have multiple cryptic names

[gentle rose]

well they’re things you can call

[verbal narwhal]

yeah callables I understand

[lucid mulch]

fun fact function delegates and events was arguably the first feature of C# and its difference from java

[gentle rose]

delegate is also a direct description but a little more technical iirc

[verbal narwhal]

passing around a function (delegate) as an object
but his sentence was like

but I mean I get it

[lucid iron]

yes well, terminal comp sci brained

[verbal narwhal]

disciplines are like that

but I can show you my current confusing code that tries to enable easy registering for frog tanks

[lucid mulch]

we literally call it code, if it wasn't at least partially cryptic would we be doing it justice

[verbal narwhal]

but I dont know if this works and if a simple cp.json would work + a tmx

that is true

[lucid iron]

quick walk through of the code path i speak of tho
GameLocation.checkAction - this is the method used whenever player tries to interact with a tile
and somewhere inside there:

// game attempts to read the tile property Action from layer Buildings
tileActionString = doesTileHaveProperty(tileLocation.X, tileLocation.Y, "Action", "Buildings");
// a bit later, game calls performAction on the value
return performAction(tileActionString, who, tileLocation);

later, in GameLocation.performAction

// tries to fetch a registered tile action to call, instead of falling into vanilla logic that lives in the rest of GameLocation.performAction
if (registeredTileActions.TryGetValue(tileActionString, out Func<GameLocation, string[], Farmer, Point, bool> callableTileAction))

registeredTileActions is a dict that can be added to via GameLocation.RegisterTileAction

[verbal narwhal]

and it also makes it cool and myserious

[lucid iron]

callableTileAction is the thing you give to game via GameLocation.RegisterTileAction and so all the behaviour post interaction happens inside there

you don't have to worry about how the interaction happens, since that is a vanilla game system

[verbal narwhal]

but I feel like this makes sense if I hardcode it

but how to not hardcode that?

[agile flame]

its called hypixel skyblock a gamemode inside a server inside minecraft i place it at a worse state than cod players like if you ask anyone who plays why do you play they say its addicting i never asked anyone and said i love it all are addicted

[lucid iron]

hardcode what

[verbal narwhal]

an example tile with that action so that the content pack can edit that?

[lucid iron]

Well you do have to add the Action from the content side yes

I don't think hardcoding means what you think it means tho

[verbal narwhal]

hardcoding is specifing a location to a script instead of making it... transitive?

[lucid iron]

Hardcoding in context of sdv modding is usually locking the logic inside C# code that cannot be changed easily

[gray bear]

when editing a building with content patcher is it possible to just, change it's size? can't say i saw a mod that did that

[tender bloom]

Instead of making it a variable?

[verbal narwhal]

ah yes

[tender bloom]

Size should be part of building data yes

[gentle rose]

also I’m not sure what you mean either by specifying to a script or by transitive

[tender bloom]

Maybe I’m too math brain but transitive makes no sense to me

[lucid iron]

You can easily change where the tile action is applied, and the tile action callable gets to know which tile it is called from

So I wouldn't consider this hardcoding

[verbal narwhal]

making it require a specifyable object?

[obtuse wigeon]

Yes I think chu has a fish pond mod that does that

[gentle rose]

(I have never heard of a meaning other than the maths one)

[obtuse wigeon]

oh wait it might be C# hadn on ill checlk

[lucid iron]

Anyways i am abscond now i hope other people can help you out

[tender bloom]

“All windows are 1 tile wide” is hardcoding to me

[verbal narwhal]

ah i only know the linguistic meaning of transitive

[lucid iron]

My pond mod need c# to fix draw nonsense, not the size

[verbal narwhal]

but I have a masters degree in latin so

uh

[lucid iron]

You can just change the size it's a field

[gentle rose]

like, a c# script referring to a specific location?

[tender bloom]

“This object can have bomb radius specified by context tag to any number” is not-hardcoding to me

[gray bear]

cool.

[gentle rose]

I’m curious now, what is it?

the maths meaning is if a=b and b=c then a=c

[gray bear]

so if i were to uh, make the pet bowl 1x1 instead of 2x2, would that be a targetfield edit

[tender bloom]

I think so yeah

[verbal narwhal]

e.g. enjoy

[gentle rose]

(I think. I’m not awake enough to words rn)

[verbal narwhal]

you cant just say "I enjoy"

[tender bloom]

I’m not 100% sure what that would do to the actual image bit

[verbal narwhal]

you have to say I enjoy "something"

[tender bloom]

Since it’s both 2x2 footprint and 2x2 image rn

[verbal narwhal]

or maybe need is better than enjoy

[gray bear]

i'd assume i'd need to provide a different texture

[verbal narwhal]

because honestly, english doesnt seem to have many transitive verbs

i mean you can say "i'd prefer not to"

weird language

[tender bloom]

I don’t think all non-hardcoded things require an input variable. For example, if it’s a property like “glowing” and it’s just that you add a context tag to make something glow, the C# function behind it won’t need an input variable because it’s a binary state of being

(Ignore that light glows have details to them for the purpose of this analogy)

[verbal narwhal]

but it has to make something glow, right?

[tender bloom]

It’s implied by the context tag being on the object

[verbal narwhal]

honestly that might be a really good thing to talk about

[tender bloom]

It can be a function in the object’s class, for example, and thus have access to the instance by default

[verbal narwhal]

because this might be the same reason why im confused

[gentle rose]

…pet? “I pet a dog”

[verbal narwhal]

oh pet is great for that!

[lucid mulch]

prismatic as a colour

[tender bloom]

Yeah, that’s a better example

[gentle rose]

I’d say hardcoding = tying functionality to a specific value. so if I wrote something that made chairs glow, that’s hardcoded, but if I made everything with the context tag glow_item glow and gave that context tag to chairs, that’s not hardcoded

[gray bear]

actually how would a smaller pet bowl texture look like i experiment

[lucid mulch]

for me non-hardcoded is data driven

[gentle rose]

so similar, yeah

[tiny zealot]

hardcoded to me means baked into the code. you have to change the code to change the behavior

[urban patrol]

(linguistics and latin mention 🔥🔥🔥)

[gray bear]

i don't think i understand how buildings work

[tiny zealot]

but obviously a whole lot of things are "hardcoded" so typically the term applies when it's something that could (or, in one's opinion, should) not be baked in

[obtuse wigeon]

it may be easier to make a custom pets bowl thats 1x1 rather than modifying the existing ppet bowl

[gray bear]

custom building? would that even work tho

[lucid mulch]

its a sliding scale, so while you can make almost anything prismatic fairly easily data driven, the speed and offset are hardcoded

[obtuse wigeon]

pet bowls are just buildings in the game I think, if their function isnt hardcoded to just the specific vanilla ones you should be able to define a new one using CP similar to any custom building

[gray bear]

i think their function might be hardcoded

or not? wonder if setting it so buildingtype would work

[obtuse wigeon]

unrelated to pet bowls, can I define a custom json dictionary in a content pack? so that if the token is equal to the key, it uses the value instead?

[gray bear]

[lucid mulch]

so.. i18n?

[obtuse wigeon]

Looks like "BuildingType": "StardewValley.Buildings.PetBowl" might work

[gray bear]

i'll try that out

[gentle rose]

can’t you do that with dynamic tokens?

[verbal narwhal]

ok so I register my tileaction
I write out what my tileaction does
spawn frog, be clickable once per day etc
i write something that parses on the buildings layer for the property action with my custom tileaction string as value

is that it?
is an additional tmx enough?
or does that need a content pack json q.q

[obtuse wigeon]

not translation, but functionally similar

[lucid mulch]

no one said i18n is exclusive for translations, its a keyvalue store

[gray bear]

how would adding a custom buildings with cp code even look like

[verbal narwhal]

I dont know why, I have read so many times through the content pack and content patcher wikis and tutorials and readme and it just makes my head spin

[obtuse wigeon]

Possibly? if the name of the dynamic token supports tokens (I dont think it does)

[gentle rose]

registering your tile action is enough, you don’t need to parse maps yourself. but you do need to load a new map tmx, which would usually be done via a content pack, yes.

[gentle rose]

I’m starting to think this is an x-y problem. what are you actually trying to do

[obtuse wigeon]

HxW has custom buildings you can have a look at (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/28031)

[gray bear]

i was sure uw ere gonna suggest ur one lmao

[gentle rose]

I think it standing for “internationalisation” might have been a hint in that direction

[obtuse wigeon]

my one is a mess and should never be used as a reference

[gray bear]

[lucid mulch]

and its Content Patcher and yet people add new content to the game instead of patching it

[lucid iron]

The places you want to add your tile action to (spouse room, sciencehouse) are vanilla maps

Thus you don't need a whole tmx, just editmap maptiles is enough

[gray bear]

buildings have a lot of fields...

[verbal narwhal]

ok! so I say if event seen edit map and swap in -

[twilit quest]

Why is this letter triggering multiple times, please?

    "Action":  "EditData",
    "Target": "Data/TriggerActions",
    "When": {
        "Query: {{DLX.Bundles/DaysSincePurchase:glymr.BrokenFarmhouse.FixUp25}} > 0": true,
        },
    "Entries": {
        "glymr.BrokenFarmhouse.Upgrade03Mail": {
        "Id": "glymr.BrokenFarmhouse.Upgrade03Mail",
        "Trigger": "DayStarted",
        "Condition": "{{FarmhouseUpgrade |contains=3}}",
        "Actions": [
            "AddMail Current glymr.BrokenFarmhouse_UpgradeMail_03 now",
                ],
        "MarkActionApplied": true,
            },
        },
    },```

[verbal narwhal]

ok i will read again editmap maptiles

[lucid mulch]

almost all of them are optional, I'd recommend doing an unpack with the cli argument to ignore defaults

[gray bear]

wih the what

[lucid iron]

Bea what's the goal

[verbal narwhal]

oh maybe what I wrote is actually already working then

[gray bear]

im making a pet bowl that is 1x1 instead of 2x2

[verbal narwhal]

if anyone wants to read that (I also figured out how to enable syntax highlighting lmao): https://pastebin.com/iHFbRBD8

[lucid iron]

Just make it OX\nOO collision then

[obtuse wigeon]

I have a list of mod names and uniqueids retrieved from the manifest files, I'm going to use these to "Action" "Include" json files, these files are in the Data/{{Mod Name}}/data.json folder, I also want the include to have the "HasMod" condition which I'm going to do with {{Mod UniqueID}}, I would like to not re write a lot of include sections as there will be a lot

[lucid iron]

That's less hassle than changing the dimensions

[gray bear]

those are the collison stats for the bowl though

[agile flame]

{
  "Action": "EditData",
  "Target": "Data/Weapons",
  "Entries": {
    "DreamSword": "Sword/75/120/0/0/3/Dream Sword/A blade forged from condensed nightmares. It vibrates with haunting energy."
  }
}

that is right format right?

[lucid mulch]

CP doesn't have a method of iterating over the values in a set to do that style of All-in-one include even if you solve your KV lookup problem

[lucid iron]

No that's old format weapons are data model now

https://github.com/Mushymato/LivestockBazaar/blob/main/[🍁] Bagged Milk/data/w.json

[agile flame]

im so lost game files look different than ones on wiki and ones i find online

[gentle rose]

because you’re adding the action again every time the query is true. move the query from the when to the condition field

[gray bear]

do BuildMaterials default to nothing?

[agile flame]

man thank you

i have been looking for such thing for 3 days

[lucid iron]

If you were Canadian it would have been obvious (/joke)

[gray bear]

thonkies

[tiny zealot]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Weapons seems up to date to me. (have you unpacked your files lately?)

[gentle rose]

@agile flame did you see my question from earlier, btw?

[lucid mulch]

that page doesn't actually have an example of what it would look like assembled

[agile flame]

he is my friend he is doing the art im doing the code his name is astraios911 he got couple mods i think

[tiny zealot]

no, but it describes string -> model with a list of fields, and an unpacked Data/Weapons should fill remaining gaps instead of the 1.5 format

[gentle rose]

ah, I see

[lucid mulch]

neither do the other 1.6 item pages outside of Items umbrella page itself

[agile flame]

the reply wasen't mentioned so i couldn't see it

[gray bear]

hey @oblique meadow do you know anything about adding custom buildings? perhaps this task too large for me

[oblique meadow]

Yeah. It’s not super hard. What do you want to know?

[lucid iron]

Hm the watering tile on a pet bowl might be hardcoded

[gray bear]

[lucid iron]

You could probably make it 2x1 but not 1x1

[gray bear]

oh noes

[obtuse wigeon]

Ahh okay, looks like Ill be automating it using python instead

[gray bear]

my code didn't immediately break so that's nice

[tiny zealot]

(C#) so, Utility.ForEachItem iterates over everything in the world, which is great, but at the moment i care only about items in chests and inventories. is there a similarly convenient call to do that, or a good way to check the context of the current item in the big iteration? or do i just need to extract the parts i care about from the big pathos implementation

[gray bear]

struggling with what fields i actually need and also, textures, how and why

[twilit quest]

Thank you!

[gray bear]

inchresting

[brittle pasture]

when I needed to do this I had to do the manual extraction

[twilit quest]

@gentle rose Can I have multiple conditions?

[tiny zealot]

boo. thanks!

[gray bear]

yeah i think the water is indeed hardcoded

pain

or is uh, just doesn't work

[brittle pasture]

(I’m sure you can do something with ForEachItemContext but it was more convenient for me to just do it manually than type testing everything in the list)

[gray bear]

oh no

[obtuse wigeon]

Looks like you may have the collision a bit bugged

[gray bear]

is this a collision map issue or...

            "Action": "EditData",

                    }
                }
            }
        }```

i have no idea how the collision map works

[obtuse wigeon]

"CollisionMap": "
  OX
  OO
",

I think this would work

[gray bear]

vscode code did not like that

[obtuse wigeon]

"CollisionMap": "OX\nOO",
or this

[gray bear]

ah ok ty

still walkable

[obtuse wigeon]

Oh wait I think X\nO is right because the size is 1 x 2

I was going off vanilla size and forgot you changed it

[gray bear]

right, size

[obtuse wigeon]

(It may need a game reload and new building, not sure if this is a persistant setting or not)

[gray bear]

uhm so u can't like, walk trought it but it does do that

is that just a setting. it also won't fill with water and i am scared

[gentle rose]

I think there’s an AND gsq iirc?

[obtuse wigeon]

give "SortTileOffset": -1 a try

or -1.5

I think thats the right field for making it draw lower

[gray bear]

doesn't seem to do anything, but might need to reload

[calm nebula]

Wasn't there a overload that kept track of the breadcrumbs

[lucid iron]

U need positive number

[calm nebula]

I swear that was added 1.6.9

[gray bear]

oh yeah 1 works, yay

still, no water though

[tiny zealot]

yeah there's a bunch of stuff like that but decoding the Enterprise OOP™ out of it is difficult, as usual

[gray bear]

how can i make u real

[lucid iron]

Did u copy the tile property

[gray bear]

o

there are 3, do i need them all?

[verbal narwhal]

    ]
}```

like this?

[lucid iron]

Location name not needed

[lucid mulch]

looking at the PetBowl code, it looks like for Watered state it offsets the texture by the intended width of the texture

[verbal narwhal]

cool thanks!

maptiles, position refers to the position on the maps/spouserooms.tmx, right?

not the position in the actual farmhouse?

[lucid mulch]

dont forget to close the MapTiles object

[lucid iron]

Yeah position on spouse room tmx

Set properties should be a dict too

[brittle ledge]

who does that, shitposts 4 lyf

[lucid iron]

https://github.com/Mushymato/MiscMapActionsProperties/blob/main/[CP] MMAP Examples/bag_inventory.json#L14

[gray bear]

im not sure i understand what that means

[lucid mulch]

the stock petbowl is 2x2 and has its SourceRect be 32x32, but when rendering the water it renders the 32x32 region to the right of that SourceRect coordinates

[limpid talon]

gang I need help I know it's been a while OK so,
I'm finally getting into custom NPC heart events (more importantly, in custom locations) and I swear I've looked at every tutorial on this earth (even page 2 of google) and there's not a single way I'm getting this event into the game at the current rate I'm going.
Does anyone know where to get a good tutorial (On implementing the event, not the actual scripting of it) that isn't years out of date and is actually comprehensible 😭

[tiny zealot]

if it's in a location you added, make sure you did a blank load to Data/Events/yourlocationhere

[gray bear]

my sourcerect is 16x32 since i made it 1x2

[lucid mulch]

then the watered state is the 16x32 region to the right of it

[gray bear]

i think, i see the problem

nope ok

???

[verbal narwhal]

but this .json needs to be registered as its own mod, right?

[gray bear]

ok i have, figured it out

woter

[dusky sail]

Slurp

[gray bear]

since it works like that i can prolly do a 1x1

[obtuse wigeon]

does the bowl specifically need to be 1 x 2? or does 1x1 also work?

beat me to it

[gray bear]

i check

[lucid mulch]

yeah theres nothing hardcoded to the size in the PetBowl code, other than the hardcoded relative position of the water texture

[gray bear]

oh it, just stays watered?

[lucid mulch]

most of the code is just figuring out the correct sort depth to ensure it renders on top

[gray bear]

i slept and water still there

[obtuse wigeon]

do you have a pet currently?

[gray bear]

oh i dun

first one doesn't even love me enough

[lucid iron]

I looked again and i was wrong about the hardcoding

[obtuse wigeon]

I think it only empties when you have a pet

[lucid iron]

So you can make 1x1

[gray bear]

nice

[lucid iron]

Just debug build another one

[gray bear]

another pet?

[lucid iron]

But yeah if u do u need to adjust the tile property

Another bowl

[limpid talon]

i did load the blank yes, any idea what this means?

[lucid mulch]

lookup anything will tell you if its actually watered I think, but yeah the bowl will only empty if theres an assigned pet that drinks it

[gray bear]

need moar pets

[obtuse wigeon]

ye just build another pet, they come in kits nowadays DIY animal

[gray bear]

relationship with pets isn't configureable with cjb cheats

is there a console cmds somewhere

[obtuse wigeon]

is it not? I thought it was

[gray bear]

can i just delete the old bowl

[obtuse wigeon]

probably

[lucid mulch]

you can have more than one pet bowl building

[obtuse wigeon]

it should automatically reasing the pet to a bowl if theres enough bowls

[lucid mulch]

particularly if you are cheating with build commands

[gray bear]

yes but atm i can't have more than one pet

[calm nebula]

There is a for that

[gray bear]

looks like u can't demolish ur first pet bowl

[calm nebula]

#making-mods-general message

[gray bear]

oh! thank you atra

!!! unless im mistaken tho there isn't a way to demolish ur first ever pet bowl buildings?

[agile flame]

can i make a quest with a penalty and timer in normal stardew valley or do i need some sort of a framework or c#?

[gray bear]

did i miss an important field or is that hardcoded

[lucid mulch]

ah yeah that part is hardcoded to be 1.5 tiles offset from the top left corner

[gray bear]

can't win em all

[lucid mulch]

so you could do 2x1 easily enough then

[gray bear]

the people wanted a smol

[soft lance]

Hello everyone.

I'd like to ask a question.

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/37315

We have gone from tortilla's, to them being in our drinks, our mayonesee, now as a blanket

What has happened to our world 🙏

[gray bear]

fish taco

[lucid mulch]

time to unrelease Speedy Solutions, the community went too far and doesn't deserve the game to be performant anymore

[soft lance]

what

u ok?

[lucid mulch]

I barely tolerated the tortilla meme grind, but combining it with the previous stupid meme of grandpa is a step too far

[soft lance]

how does your mod relate to people who are making tortilla mods as a silly joke

[ornate trellis]

sometimes I dont know when yall in here are serious or joking

[latent flame]

-# (i assume SinZ is joking)

[brittle ledge]

Sinz, your performance mod looks great and I'm totally using it if I ever play the game again

Actual No More Lag

[gray bear]

me neither bc im also working on a tortilla mod rn
mod very good

[ornate trellis]

anyway, just came in here for a general question to the C# people because I had a spontaneous thought. how hard coding wise would it be to, like, make a lil building with the function like a pet fountain were it would let several pets drink from it? just a random thought i had cuz of Bea and the general thought of an army of pet bowls on a farm kinda looking cluttering

[soft lance]

stop.
get some help

jk

[gray bear]

no /j

[brittle ledge]

tortilla meme >>>>> mayo meme

hot controversial take, I know 😌

[soft lance]

I suck at art design

i dont think clouds relate to the mod so Ima remove that

[gray bear]

nah ur cooking

[soft lance]

not sure what im missing though

(im not pro at details sadly)

[gray bear]

maybe sea bg?

[soft lance]

yeah..probably lol

[ornate trellis]

have some fish floating around

[oblique meadow]

Color the clouds. Give them a slight colored tint to make them look more like coral. And put some small sea creature silhouettes in the background. Also, outline or dropshadow your title so it pops more. It blends in too much with everything else

You want the title to be the focus and everything else to be supplementary.

[round dock]

Oh wait, I think that's what already used.

Although, you could use the squidfest letter bg

[soft lance]

yup

[soft lance]

o?

where is that stored in game files

i can convert from xmb to png

[gray bear]

is anyone accepting C# comissions to like, fix an annoying thing in my smaller pet bowl mod

[round dock]

Still in LooseSprites

[turbid oak]

Well, I've only made two little practice mods but today I feel ready to start work on Pierre Hates You. I expect it to potentially take weeks and I may make more micro mods on the side. Just to be clear, every file that I'll need to edit is somewhere in the unpacked content, right?

[soft lance]

found it lemme try

Only contains these

[ornate trellis]

its a seperate file

[soft lance]

do you know its name?

thats the letters.xmb

[soft lance]

o

[round dock]

No, it's literally in the LooseSprite's folder

That and trout derby

[soft lance]

squidFestLetterBG.xnb

found

[stark spindle]

whats the annoying thing?

[gray bear]

i want this text to show up where the bowl is, but it's hardcoded

[stark spindle]

i can take a look a little later for ya if you like. i enjoy digging through the source code

can i make this "if any player that exists (but isnt necessarily playing right now) in the world has seen event"?

or do i need to make that in c#?

[ornate trellis]

👍

[soft lance]

tysm

[gray bear]

if you wouldn't mind, that'd be awesome

Lucy this might be more of a #making-mods-art thing, i would say maybe turn up the saturation on the background tho

[soft lance]

okii and ty

[oblique meadow]

Small feedback. From a colorblind guy. The text is getting lost. They blur together

[gray bear]

contrast should def go way up

[oblique meadow]

It's good. Its just...a lot of bright mingling together

[limpid talon]

anyone else have any insights on this maybe? :3

[gray bear]

contrast would help

[oblique meadow]

You have two things trying to do something with the same thing.

Similar example: If I have a mod trying to replace the entire Spring tilesheet, and another mod trying to replace the entire spring tilesheet, it would generate a similar error.

[limpid talon]

that's fair, do you have any idea what the exact problem would be though? All I've changed is trying to add this cutscene

[oblique meadow]

Don't know specifically since I can't see your code but it looks to be focused around Data/Events/Custom_CityApartments4

[limpid talon]

my god I had a look and my smart butt managed to produce the exact same codeblock twice

[oblique meadow]

That would do it

[stark spindle]

@gray bear sorry which specific mod is it?

[limpid talon]

hehehe

[gray bear]

oh, i didn't publish it or anything, i can send you the file

[stark spindle]

ahhh ok cool. yeah do.

[limpid talon]

alright I've now removed the double codeblock, new issue is that the cutscene still won't play whenever I enter the loading zone with 2 hearts, does anyone have any ideas?
The smapi logs show up completely empty
(context, I've followed every tutorial on the planet and didn't understand a single one of them)

[obtuse wigeon]

You should publish it, it's certainly a mod I've been too lazy to make myself bc I never build in even numbers

[gray bear]

i should figure out i broke it first

[vital lotus]

Condition {{HasSeen: anyPlayer}} should do the trick with content patcher

Wait I'm actually not sure how the format should be 👀🤔

[obtuse wigeon]

what did you do before it broke?

[verbal narwhal]

ahh

[gray bear]

added skins that i broke, managed to fix tho. user complains the buildings aren't in robin's shop tho

[verbal narwhal]

and somehow it doesnt seem to work :(
with just editmap and this as content pack (no additional tmx included)

[tiny zealot]

hey you should know i just published this. thanks (?)

[gray bear]

ichor ur the hero we deserve

[obtuse wigeon]

Looking at it, I don't think you need to specify Hay pet bowl and Stone pet bowl bc they're skins of the the original, they should get loaded along side the original, as for rbins shop I'm not sure bc it looks right to me?

[brittle ledge]

(as an aside, you might want to use the 1.6 preconditions (the full words, not the letters) just for better readability for you https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Event_data#Event_preconditions )

your preconditions require 2 hearts + the NPC on that map, are they there?

[limpid talon]

yes :)

[brittle ledge]

Have you already viewed the event on that save?

[limpid talon]

nope, and i start a new save on every test anyway

[brittle ledge]

I assume you use CJB to set their hearts?

[limpid talon]

yes that's right

[gray bear]

i think it broke bc i didn't add desc to the skins, seems good now

[brittle ledge]

And the event plays when you use debug ebi, it's just not triggering naturally?

[obtuse wigeon]

Ahhh ye descriptions are needed on skins too

[limpid talon]

I haven't gotten the event to trigger a single time, since I'm not entirely sure if I've even implemented it correctly

[true coyote]

So, for the animals that show up outside marnie's, is it possible to set it to one mods sprites? Right now it randomly chooses a sprite from all mods that change the cow, in my mod list, or vanilla

[brittle ledge]

Use debug ebi youreventname to run the event (ignoring preconditions), you can test with that.

[limpid talon]

alright let me give that a try

[brittle ledge]

You should see 'sent command, but there was no output' in the log and the event should start ingame if it's working.

[limpid talon]

firing up stardew rn, will report back :3

[obtuse wigeon]

Time to dig through 16 mods source code, this is certainly one way of improving with C#

[limpid talon]

the cutscene is playing with the debug command! it's very broken but that's ok I probably just scripted it wrong

now I wondering why it's not showing up naturally...

[latent mauve]

Just to check, but your NPC name in the preconditions is the Internal ID and not just the display name?

[limpid talon]

Is this correct? Or should it be modid_Babey

[latent mauve]

How is that NPC defined in your Data/Characters entry?

[limpid talon]

I'm presuming i need modid now that I'm looking at it lol

I've been on the custom map grind lately so I've gotten used to prefixing everything with Custom_

[brittle pasture]

if you’re using CustomLocations that’s deprecated

[limpid talon]

yeah i am, I've been meaning to switch that over at some point

[latent mauve]

The NPC's internal name should be your key in the Data/Characters entry, so yes, {{ModId}}_Babey is what needs to go in the precondition

[lucid mulch]

since 1.6 / cp 2.0 the constraint that the old CustomLocations functionality that locations had to begin with Custom_ was removed anyway

[limpid talon]

the cutscene is completely working now! thanks guys

[limpid talon]

ohhh i see

[lucid mulch]

as that was just originally there to ensure it didn't clash with TXML/vanilla added locations which was made mute by Data/Locations having the native functionality

[limpid talon]

I do have a tutorial waiting for when i do plan to switch everything over, so I'll get to that when it starts to pose a serious problem

[lucid mulch]

using CustomLocations will become mildly annoying once you want to actually use Data/Locations for your map as it'll clash with CustomLocations editing the same entry

[limpid talon]

mmm that's fair

[neat gazelle]

Hi, quick question: with content patcher, how do you force the config stuff to require an integer?
More info: this

        "FloatX": {
            "AllowValues": null,
            "Type": "Int",
            "Default": 15,
            "Min": 2,
            "Max": 19,
            "AllowMultiple": false,
            "AllowBlank": false
        },

nets this

08:20:48    WARN    Content Patcher    Ignored KTG's Slime Hutch Interior > Floating Horizontal: invalid X: that token isn't restricted to integers.
08:20:48    WARN    Content Patcher    Ignored KTG's Slime Hutch Interior > Floating Vertical: invalid X: that token isn't restricted to integers.

the examples in Pathoschild's author guide don't cover interger values

I don't think? haven't found it, I should say

[obtuse wigeon]

I don't think you can specifically, but I seem to remember people using Query to return an int value

[gaunt orbit]

is there a context tag for big craftables?

or maybe I should just check for placeable since sprinklers might not count as craftables

[brittle pasture]

sprinklers, torches and crab pots are some non-BC placeables

probably some other as well

[gaunt orbit]

jack o lanterns

[lucid mulch]

Query doesn't return int values, it does however turn off context validation so it can be used in places that normally require int/bool checks

[gaunt orbit]

crab pots count as machines though I think

[brittle pasture]

no they are (O) Objects

yes it’s cursed

[gaunt orbit]

do they not have a machiens entry anyways?

that's evil

[lucid mulch]

They use the crab area rules from data/locations but what those actually give is hardcoded

[brittle pasture]

nope, all their logic is handled in DayUpdate

[drowsy pewter]

yes its horrible

horrible things

thought you were calling me salty about crab pots and i was like yeah you're right

[gaunt orbit]

wait I thought that got turned into the location fish data in 1.6, is that still hardcoded??

[drowsy pewter]

im salty about salt

[brittle pasture]

LMAO
no rock salt emote so table salt is the closest

[brittle pasture]

you can add custom crab pot regions now

but the drop logic still reads from Data/Fish directly

[lucid mulch]

I might be confusing it for the crabpot trash table

[brittle pasture]

yeah crab pot trash chance is dehardcoded

[gaunt orbit]

aaah

that's terrible

still better than 1.5 though

[brittle pasture]

the specifically annoying thing about crab pot is you can’t reorder entries because Data/Fish is a dict

so any fish you add has to beat the vanilla fish first

you also can’t just add any arbitrary items because they have to be in Data/Fish

[drowsy pewter]

[brittle pasture]

also if you take the Mariner profession the game completely redoes how it picks crab pot fish

[tiny zealot]

selph why would you curse me with this knowledge

[brittle pasture]

I have many thoughts on the crab pot code as someone who stared into the abyss a little too long

the darkness must be spread

[gaunt orbit]

lowkey giving me flashbacks to that one time in 1.5 that I tried modding the fishing rod to fish up non-object items

[neat gazelle]

i think slime hutch maps and content patcher might just be cursed 😭 could well be coder stupids, too.
I can replace the map, but I can't do anything about where the game spawns the water troughs for the slimes, or ensure the slime incubator that the vanilla hutch comes with spawns. Looking at how other coders handled it, and I keep seeing "didn't" or map overlays.

[lucid iron]

Hardcoded iirc

How much do u want to fix it

[neat gazelle]

and my map overlays aren't working, even when I scraped trying to do a positioned map edit and went for an all over map overlay

[drowsy pewter]

i denounce the tortilla trend and further shenanigans. my lawyer is advising me to keep all information of my alleged involvement under wraps

[lucid iron]

Ok but cornucopia cooking will add more tacos right, to use all these tortillas

[drowsy pewter]

...we have a quesadilla

[obtuse wigeon]

For the token nerds (/pos), Is this a valid token syntax?

   "LocalTokens": {
      "ModName": "PlaceholderName",
      "{{ModName}}Extra": "AnotherPlaceholder"
   }

[verbal narwhal]

is the spouseroom data loaded after the farmhouse_marriage data (and farmhouse_2marriage?

[neat gazelle]

Quesadillas are lovely

[lucid iron]

Spouse rooms are a kind of dynamically applied map edit by the game

[neat gazelle]

Now craving cheese quesadillas

[lucid iron]

It should come after the marriage versions of the farmhouse yea

[verbal narwhal]

but if i do an editmap "Maps/spouseRooms",
"MapTiles"

it didnt load and i wondered if the patch applies it to the wrong spot because the spouseroom is so 6x10?

or do I need an on asset requested? (I thought i dont need that if i let cp handle that)

[lucid iron]

You can patch export the spouse room asset to see if your tiledata made it in

I also dont know which room is seb room there

[verbal narwhal]

the one in the middle left coluimn

[turbid oak]

Advice for where to start on a mod this big? I already made a mod that just makes Pierre nonsocial if you're a Joja member. I'm thinking of potentially making this as more small mods that go together but not sure how else to break it up. My only other mod experience is giving unique dialogue when a specific item is given to a specific character. Not sure if I should continue making micro mods to learn/practice skills before I start this one or not.

[tiny zealot]

my advice is not to break it up into little components unless you want people to use only some of them

for tackling the project, i would just pick one small piece and implement that (you have done this). then pick another small piece and add it in to the mod you already have. then pick another small piece, etc.
just do one thing at a time, get it working, check it off the list, move on

you'll learn things as you go and maybe want (or need) to revisit earlier pieces later. that's fine, although try to avoid doing that unless it's need

[turbid oak]

Thank you so much. I'll jump into doing it this way, one feature at a time. If I get stumped I may make more micro mods on the side.

Also, everything I need to change is somewhere in the unpacked content files, right?

[tiny zealot]

all the stuff in your image is probably doable with data/content patcher, yes

when you get down to tacks, especially about the SVE stuff, there might be some tricks involved (SVE has a bespoke, closed-source C# component which may be doing some of the work, about the mayorship in particular)

[lucid iron]

The c# sauce is on GitHub

I PR'd it and everything

https://github.com/FlashShifter/StardewValleyExpanded

[tiny zealot]

oh, my mistake. i remember not being able to find it, but i may only have tried once

[lucid iron]

Wow pathos auditing code style https://github.com/FlashShifter/StardewValleyExpanded/pull/36

[tawny ore]

I find it funny that Pathos reformatted SVE

I'm sure there was discusson beforehand

If I'm going to continue to PR SVE for compatibility updates, I can at least make it better to look at

• Pathos probably

[obtuse wigeon]

I mean, short and to the point, it's effective at least

[severe spruce]

I'm just gonna send out a request to new mod devs to please make sure filename paths have the correct casing, windows doesn't care but mac, linux and android do

[obtuse wigeon]

ahem RSV ahem

[lucid iron]

Good thing that i just kebab case all my stuff then

[obtuse wigeon]

they fixed it ik

[tawny ore]

I thought SMAPI fixes that for mods mostly

[obtuse wigeon]

not entirely, many things still have issues

[drowsy pewter]

hmm i havent got complaints

[tiny zealot]

a lot of stuff in stardew modding land is not case-sensitive, until it is by surprise for this one thing ha ha gotcha

[lucid iron]

Ik audio is a big one

[tawny ore]

Is that exclusively a C# mod issue, or does it also affect Content Patcher mods?

[lucid iron]

The absolutefilepath token is case sensitive for some reason

[brittle pasture]

I think CP normalizes file paths for you?

[obtuse wigeon]

I think CP mods aren't effected, but I know some smapi ones are

[lucid iron]

So i have to go rename ppl's ogg files sometimes

[obtuse wigeon]

(It's still good practice to follow the same casing though)

[tawny ore]

Once/if mods use a GitHub build system, that could be a thing that gets checked for

[verbal narwhal]

chu, and everyone else

thank you so much with bearing with me and my underdeveloped programming language understanding

❤️

I finally got it to work and am almost there

(I accidentally freed the frogs in the new code)

[lucid iron]

Freedom

Liberty for all froge

[lucid mulch]

Smapi partially doesn't care about case sensitivity but only fixes a handful of places, it's in general safe to assume it always matters because it provides does

[verbal narwhal]

I mean I have also included a command in my mod to spawn them in a 1x3 area

so frogalypse could be turned into reality

[autumn tide]

hey! uhh how would one make an NPC move faster in an event? I want an npc to run somewhere rather than using the defualt walking speed

EDIT: wait just found it, nvm!

[autumn tide]

that looks so cool!!

[turbid oak]

Thank you so much. I'm thinking even if I get permission, the stuff involving other people's mods will be the last thing I do and might not be part of the initial release. I had a feeling the SVE stuff would be the hardest part.

[severe spruce]

currently tweaking some mods to work better together, is there a way to stop NPCs from getting stuck on each other at map entrances?

[tiny zealot]

is the entrance the BusStop in particular

[severe spruce]

it's the most common one for sure

there's a few others as well but not as important

[tiny zealot]

i haven't really seen NPCs get stuck on each other during schedule navigation except at BusStop, typically trying to get to the desert festival

[severe spruce]

I thought it was the warp to RSV being too low at first but moving it up didn't fix it, not to mention NPCs coming from the valley also kept getting stuck at the entrance

[tiny zealot]

the issue on that one is usually that there's a mod editing the bus stop that didn't get the 1.6 memo that the map is wider now

[severe spruce]

honestly any mod that stops NPCs from colliding with each other would be great

[tiny zealot]

so they warp in from Town onto a map that is (1.5-era) narrower than expected, and then i'm not 100% on the exact details but they can't navigate to the next warp so they just give up

it's not that they are blocked by collision with other NPCs, it's that they can't proceed

[severe spruce]

I see

[obtuse wigeon]

The NPCs in my game don't collide with each other, Might be due to non destructive NPCs mod

[autumn tide]

how can I add a temporary bush to a map for an event? I want a character to freak out after something happens and then run and hide in the bush. if it's possible to add the bush shaking animation thing (that plays when you interact with the bush) when the NPC runs into it, that'd be great!

[verbal narwhal]

if I want the same thing that now loads onto the map be applied to a furniture, wherever it might be placed, I can just use basically my Action property as tile/furniture property?

(I have read and learned a new word in the wiki called scope creep)

I think this now needs MMAP, right?

[lucid iron]

spacecore or calcifer or mmap yea

Im sure a 4th framework will make this eventually

[obtuse wigeon]

2 cakes, or in this case hopefully 4 cakes eventually

I see why people prefix local tokens, this has become confusing very quick

[limpid talon]

do you guys have any idea why the event keeps looping on the dialogue box? this event is from a fork

[gaunt orbit]

source generator thing now handles GMCM configs. It registers all standard option types, enums, and pages. It also handles the gmcm events, config reading & writing for you. It also provides some optional hooks in case you want to add your own stuff.

[lucid iron]

Checkered

[latent mauve]

To add on to this, if you edit the BusStop map and accidentally have a tile on the Buildings layer blocking entrance to the bus, it can make all the NPCs pathing there get stuck on the map

I've seen that one happen at least twice

[hollow dust]

hello, do you guys know to override a location's catchable fish, specifically how the "farmfishoverride" works on farm map property, but for custom location

[urban patrol]

you can change to a temporary map during the event that has a bush there, and i’m not sure about this one but maybe doAction on the bush?

note that your character will have trouble pathing into the bush, so warp them away right before they get there, maybe?

or play around with the viewport to hide that awkward transition

[urban patrol]

not without seeing the event script

[urban patrol]

fish data is defined under Data/Locations, so if you overwrite that with your own patch (instead of using target fields to drill down into it) that should work

this is obviously horrible for compatibility but i assume that’s what you want

[hollow dust]

ouh thanks youuuuuu

[agile flame]

does anyone have a video or a wiki post that shows how to turn a c# into a dll without using visual studio im using visual studio code but i can't seem to make it a dll problems happen and i have .net 6 rn

[lucid iron]

Just do dotnet build

[agile flame]

didn't work many errors popped up

[limpid talon]

how would be the best way to send it through discord? since the event script is too long to be screenshotted

[urban patrol]

!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.

[agile flame]

quick question that might be dumb does smapi need to be in mods

[limpid talon]

ah right

[limpid talon]

https://smapi.io/json/none/0b20a57e491e4e1c95b9251351f7df96 Here we are. The problem is with the ChessYes fork event. Before adding the fork i had no problem ending the event

[urban patrol]

another option i just thought of is using a TAS of a bush on a very high layer with your character can then easily walk into and be hidden. this will make it impossible to shake the bush though

[limpid talon]

the event gets stuck after the dialogue box in the chessyes event

[urban patrol]

does the same thing happen with chess no?

oh wait i see. you shouldn’t use switch event with a fork

the fork does the switching for you

[limpid talon]

uhhhh ok chessno just redirects to chessyes which then does end (cause chessno is currently broken)

oh

[brittle pasture]

a screenshot/text dump of the errors would help

[limpid talon]

i was just copying an elliott event for this, so i used what he used

[urban patrol]

have you read the wiki page for how forks work?

i can explain if it doesn’t make sense to you

[limpid talon]

I did, but i had a hard time comprehending lol

[urban patrol]

yeah they’re complicated lol (and soon to be deprecated in favor of GOTOs)

[limpid talon]

oh jeez

[urban patrol]

so the way forks work is that the label you have after the fork command will shunt the event to the labeled event. if it doesn’t get shunted, then the event continues to play while skipping the label command. so you can make chess yes the default, write the chess yes script in the rest of the original event, and just have chess no as a separate event

does that make sense?

[tiny zealot]

"soon" meaning when 1.7 comes out, which could still be years away

[limpid talon]

that makes sense. I plan to have a lot more branches that come off the ChessYes event though, where you actually get to play a few moves. Would it still be smart to have Chessyes be the default?

[urban patrol]

it’s up to you, but i think i would make chess no the default then, yeah

[limpid talon]

okay ^^ thank you! I'll get on fixing it then after i get off work

[urban patrol]

if you need an example of a fork check out charles 7 hearts under lighthouse https://github.com/nbeymer99/DeadBoyDetectives/blob/main/data/Events.json

[limpid talon]

oh I will! Thank you ^^

[urban patrol]

(also in there is monty 7 hearts, under farm, which has multiple forks like you’re describing, but it’s a complete mess so only use it as an example at your own risk)

[limpid talon]

loll I'll have a look too

[agile flame]

its way too big to be sent i think its smapi related gonna try something

[ornate locust]

forks are scary

[autumn tide]

uhhhhh I'm super super new to modding so I prob won't be able to do that, I really appreciate the advice tho :)

[urban patrol]

those are just event commands! and that’s how i learned, went in knowing nothing and then tried to get things i’d never used before to work for me

[ornate locust]

I was worried about temp maps, but I found it very easy when I recently did one for the first time

[urban patrol]

yep! the only iffy thing about it imo is if you try to fork inside of one, the fork needs to go in Temp

[gritty sandal]

So :v I'm trying to add this flooring right? It's xnb and unless I wanna corrupt my save I need to content patcher it thingy. I used a guide (ish) a friend (idk if she consider me friend) to base the terrain features off it cuz for the tilesheets it worked and I observed it and figured out what she did

[neat gazelle]

I think I'm ready to throw in the towel on moving the slime water troughs around in the slime hutch, but if anyone knows how to set the slime incubator to spawn at least (and preferably only) once, just using content patcher, can you point me in the right direction for that?

[obtuse wigeon]

!json

[obtuse wigeon]

Use the first link to paste your json into then send the URL here

[gritty sandal]

This is the manifest and content json I followed

[brittle pasture]

is this an interior change? the incubator is added as an object in Data/Buildings, and if you apply your map patches to an existing building it won’t be moved retroactively

[neat gazelle]

it is, and it isn't loading in new buildings.

[gritty sandal]

And this is what i came up with

Oh

[fathom rapids]

why is your file xnb

[gritty sandal]

Cuz

It's how I got it

From naver

[fathom rapids]

you can unpack it

[obtuse wigeon]

It looks liek you dont have any images in your mod folder, and the fromFile should be a .png if you're changing images

[gritty sandal]

[uncut viper]

CP is actually capable of loading xnb files

[gritty sandal]

Dumb it down-

[obtuse wigeon]

It is? I did not know at all, pretty cool

[uncut viper]

your zip file however seems to contain neither

[fathom rapids]

https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/urhyme/i_made_stardew_valley_web_xnb_converter/

[gritty sandal]

[fathom rapids]

that doesnt make it a good idea

[gritty sandal]

Here is the one I tried to make :v

[uncut viper]

its literally fine if it goes through content patcher

[lucid iron]

Can u editimage with an xnb

[uncut viper]

yes

[lucid iron]

Like putting xnb in the fromfile

[uncut viper]

yes

[lucid iron]

Nice that works then

[fathom rapids]

yeah but you cant see with your eyes whats in the file and troubleshoot

[neat gazelle]

And looking at the data/buildings file, I see where the problem might be ... I think I have a building layer in that tile

[lucid iron]

I'd just do that n not worry about it

[brittle pasture]

can you post what code you have

[uncut viper]

that doesnt make it a bad idea

[brittle pasture]

okay yeah that might probably do it

[lucid iron]

You can patch export the loaded pngs later

[neat gazelle]

https://github.com/KasualTheGamer/SDV-Slime-Hutch-Interior/releases/tag/0.1.2-beta

[fathom rapids]

okay so your first problem is. Do you understand what the "FromFile" field actually does?

[brittle pasture]

you’ll need a data change to Data/Buildings

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Buildings (IndoorItems)

[gritty sandal]

No

[uncut viper]

your manifest is called manifest .json with a space instead of manifest.json

you also dont need that When condition

[fathom rapids]

it points to the file you want the mod to load, starting from the folder the content.json is in

[uncut viper]

actually that When condition is keeping your mod from exploding further

bc you've written targets that dont exist

[gritty sandal]

....

[fathom rapids]

which in your case is Assets/TerrainFeatures/Flooring.xnb and Assets/TerrainFeatures/Flooring_winter.xnb

[uncut viper]

(dont exist in your assets folder that is)

[gritty sandal]

OH SO I DIRNT HAVE TO WRITE ALL THIS?

[uncut viper]

Liliet, her FromFile isnt the problem

[fathom rapids]

it is?

[uncut viper]

she's using the target token.

[gritty sandal]

Uh u can call Me a she

[uncut viper]

assets/{{Target}}.xnb will become e.g. assets/TerrainFeatures/Flooring.xnb

(noted, apologies!)

[fathom rapids]

first of all its case sensitive on mac

[gritty sandal]

Nah it's fine

[fathom rapids]

second, their target field causes their fromfile to target like 20 things

(i did not count)

[uncut viper]

which is a case sensitivity issue, and not anything todo with not understanding what FromFile is

[fathom rapids]

while they only have 2

[uncut viper]

yeah, which is fine*, because of the When condition

[gritty sandal]

38

[fathom rapids]

they literally said that they dont understand what FromFile does

[uncut viper]

the extras just wont do anything

the When condition keeps the specific target patch from applying if the thing they wrote in the Target does not exist in their folder

[fathom rapids]

i would say its a problem when a person doesnt understand their own code

[uncut viper]

that is a problem. but its not whats giving her errors.

aside from maybe the case sensitivity issue

[gritty sandal]

Uh smapi said this is not a smapi mod

[uncut viper]

dont know what platform she's on

your manifest, as mentioned, is named incorrectly, so it cannot find a manifest

[fathom rapids]

yeah you have space after 'manifest'

just saw it

it's named "manifest .json" rather than "manifest.json"

[gritty sandal]

I fixed it so should it work now?

[uncut viper]

give it a shot

see what else pops up in the log, if anything

[fathom rapids]

if the "when" condition only prevents specific patches from loading, then yeah. I haven't really used the multi-Target way of doing things

[gritty sandal]

IT WORKEEDDD

[uncut viper]

im assuming you're not on linux (just educated guess) and your zip doesnt have that weird .MACOSX folder, so the case sensitivity probably doesnt matter if its a personal use mod

[gentle rose]

what else would it do?

[gritty sandal]

Well idk if it did hut there's no red

I didn't know smapi was so case sensitive-

[uncut viper]

SMAPI isnt, its OS dependent

[obtuse wigeon]

SMAPI isn't linux and Mac are

[uncut viper]

SOME things are case sensitive but file paths are not

[gritty sandal]

Who knew it'd flat out say it's not a mod if there is a typo or sum

[uncut viper]

UNLESS you';re not on windows

thats not case sensitivty thats just wrongly named

[gritty sandal]

Understood teachers

Thank u for ur time

[uncut viper]

case senstivity = uppercase and lowercase sensitivity

[gritty sandal]

All of u

[uncut viper]

i.e. MANIFEST vs manifest

make sure it actually works in game too though ofc and not just the main menu

the asset might not have been requested yet and might only throw a warning when the game tries to load it

[obtuse wigeon]

If I doesn't work, we will be able to help further, paths were the first mod I made I think, I have an inherant love for them

[gritty sandal]

IT DIDN'T CJANGE THE PATH

It's not throwing any errors but it ain't working

[neat gazelle]

I think this is the edit data I need?

{
            "Action": "EditData",
            "Target": "Data/Buildings",
            "TargetField": [
                "Slime Hutch",
                "IndoorItems",
                "Tile"
            ],
            "Entries": {
                "X": 4,
                "Y": 5
            }
        }

[obtuse wigeon]

What is your content.json looking like now?

[uncut viper]

and do you have any other mods that might be conflicting?

[brittle pasture]

you’re missing Default_SlimeIncubator (as an entry) before Tile

[gritty sandal]

I removed all the unnecessary stuffs and kept only flooring and flooring winter

[gritty sandal]

Uh I do have soft season change

Does it affect the paths?

[uncut viper]

ideally test it on a very minimal mod list

no, it affects the order in which mods edits are loaded and applied

[neat gazelle]

and now to test!

[uncut viper]

since you are Loading yours, they might be editing it back after

[gritty sandal]

Ok I'll remove the soft season change and try again

[uncut viper]

unless you meant paths as in like, in game paths

and not file paths

in which case i dont know what every mod changes

[neat gazelle]

😭 Cursed!

[Content Patcher] Can't apply data patch "KTG's Slime Hutch Interior > EditData Data/Buildings" to Data/Buildings: the field 'Slime Hutch' > 'IndoorItems' > 'Default_SlimeIncubator' > 'Tile' has type 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Point', which isn't recognized by Content Patcher

[gritty sandal]

Uh I meant actual paths

[brittle pasture]

you can just remove Tile from TargetField and set it in Entries

[gritty sandal]

Like cobble stone paths and shits

It's not working

[obtuse wigeon]

I'm looking at making a content pack for Iconic Framework to freeup some keybinds, the docs for making an iconic framework pack states it needs a parameterless method or parameterless constructor, currently I'm on trying to get the Automate overlay to work, is internal class OverlayMenu : BaseOverlay parameterless or is the : BaseOverlay a parameter?

[uncut viper]

[neat gazelle]

Bless you! It works! Yes!

[brittle pasture]

that’s the parent class

a “parameter” is what you pass into a function, like void DoStuff(int number) accepts a parameter number of type int

[obtuse wigeon]

Ahh okay gotcha

[brittle pasture]

(also I looked into the Iconic Framework docs and I’m pretty sure what you want to do is use the keybind settings + CMCT to grab the Automate overlay keybind)

[obtuse wigeon]

Looking further down I think I found what I need but it has paramenters

[brittle pasture]

(I’m assuming you’re using the pure content pack approach to add a keybind to toggle the Automate overlay)

[lucid iron]

I thought iconic works by reflection anyways

[obtuse wigeon]

I'm doing this to free up keybinds, It is a lot easier to go with a keybinds but accessing not often used things directly is the option I would prefer to go with for this

[lucid iron]

Not by simulated key press

[brittle pasture]

it has a keybind option

[obtuse wigeon]

Either keybind, method or constructor are the options it supports, whether that uses reflection I have no idea

[brittle pasture]

hmm it seems like Automate does have a EnableOverlay function in the mod entry

it’s not static though

[obtuse wigeon]

I'm not sure what static specifically means in this case, but I'm going to take a guess and say it means that it can't be called

[brittle pasture]

I’m pretty certain you’d need a PR to Automate if you don’t want to go the keybind route

[obtuse wigeon]

Gotcha, the API is a bit more sophisticated for C# so it may be possible to do it for that instead of a PR but I don't know it well enough, so that's one of the integrations I shall be leaving

[brittle pasture]

with enough reflection it is totally possible to make a C# companion mod that registers that action
but at this point a PR to add that to the base mod is an infinitely better solution; pathos is very welcoming of contributions

[obtuse wigeon]

Don't PRs also include the code that needs to be changed to facilite something like this? or is just asking nicely with reference to the framework and the API acceptable enough?

[uncut viper]

a PR would be you making the desired changes and submitting them for consideration

[late pewter]

Oh I'm liking htee art for this fish mod, do let me know when it comes out. I've seen a few fish mods, but haven't always liked the art for them.

[brittle pasture]

just “asking nicely” is a bug report /lh

[obtuse wigeon]

Ahh okay, I don't know C# enough to even begin to make a change to be submitted for consideration, it's not the worst thing to not have included, it's a rarely used feature by me atleast

[lucid iron]

I actually think automate should disable this feature and roll it into data layers instead

Sadly I don't remember if the data layers API change went anywhere

[uncut viper]

i would disagree very

[obtuse wigeon]

I personally do prefer adding it to data layer too as it's the kind of thing that thematically fits imo

[hidden locust]

hello!

I tried to add a new rule to the keg that uses 5 of a specific fruit as input, but in game it always outputs wine. Is there any way to make it use my custom rule instead?

sorry if it's a dumb question

[gaunt orbit]

make sure to reorder it in front of the wine entry with MoveEntries

[hallow prism]

yeah it's a question of rules priority

[gaunt orbit]

bc otherwise the game will hit the wine entry first and not look for anything else

[lucid iron]

*with data layers installed i mean

[hidden locust]

thanks, I will try that!

[lucid iron]

Tho it is not like it is happening anytime soon

[brittle pasture]

pls… i need my fishing zone overlay…

[lucid iron]

Soon™

Actually did auto layers release already

[brittle pasture]

you can ask in #modded-stardew

[harsh echo]

whoops

[gritty sandal]

Uh... Can someone break down where tf u get the coordinates and shit from please-

[obtuse wigeon]

A mode called DebugMode can help you, when activated, it lists the corodinates, locations, and a few other details if a song or event is playing, or in a menu

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/679

[round dock]

Debug mode my beloved

[obtuse wigeon]

By far one of the most useful mods I've used, there would've been so many broken locations without it

[hot gale]

What is 'big' for a C# mod? My .dll is 300kb

[lucid iron]

It doesn't matter very much

[obtuse wigeon]

content patcher is 326kb so not the biggest, but size doesn't matter, what matters is how you use it

[hot gale]

Cool

[lucid iron]

You can code in a way that's very size inefficient in terms of instructions ofc

Or code in a super size efficient way that is terrible perf

[obtuse wigeon]

I'd certainly prefer a larger file size if it means it isn't as performance intensive

[hot gale]

Just wanted to make sure it wouldnt get 'too big'

[obtuse wigeon]

it's stardew, my nearly 700 mod pack is only 2.3GB, size is not an issue at all I can promise you that

[lucid iron]

A single hd portrait is probably bigger than ur whole dll

[hot gale]

I know assets can rack up the size of a mod itself, I was just curious if there were any limitations to the actual size of the dll specifically - thanks for the calrification y'all

[obtuse wigeon]

to my knowledge there is no size limitations besides the storage you have on your computer (or ram, ram is probably the first storage based bottleneck)

[agile flame]

so im trying to test run my mod but i need the cs to be turned into dll i try to do this like a million ways all fail and it seems like there is a problem with smapi a missing file called stardewmodingapi.dll but even after downloading a new smapi install still isn't there so what can be the problem i can find this specific file in the stardew valley folder but i assume there should be one in smapi and one in stardew valley so can someone help me real quick

[gaunt orbit]

do you have multiple stardew installs?

[agile flame]

only 1

[tender bloom]

Have you set up the nuget?

It sounds like possibly you missed some of the setup

[gaunt orbit]

is your csproj the same as what the wiki shows?

[tender bloom]

Either that or the game is in a weird place

[agile flame]

i tried the nugget thing didnt want to setup for some reason from vs so i did it from the cmd

[gaunt orbit]

please post your .csproj file

[agile flame]

alr 1s

[turbid oak]

Where is the main dialogue file in the unpacked content?

[agile flame]

[turbid oak]

All I can find is engagement and extra dialogue files.

[gaunt orbit]

yeah this is super wrong. I'm not sure where you got this but it should look like this

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
    <PropertyGroup>
        <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>

[gentle rose]

who wrote those comments, btw? it looks like it’s from a template or something?

[agile flame]

ye i had no idea what i was doing in this part tbh

is there like a wiki for this part

[gentle rose]

wdym? you have comments saying “explicitly include YOUR mod source files”, where did those come from?

[gaunt orbit]

I recommend reading the wiki for your first c# mod. https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/Get_Started#Create_a_basic_mod

[agile flame]

a dumb friend of mine i told him to try and make it he said this should work it didin't i tried editing a bit still same results

[gentle rose]

well, I suggest not asking this friend again. clearly they’re hallucinating their answers and don’t seem to know much about stardew modding.

[gaunt orbit]

...anyways, why don't you fix the csproj and see if it builds

[gritty sandal]

Do every cp path mod use the same codes and coordinates?

[tender bloom]

The wiki should have exactly what you need, the link wren sent

What do you mean by path mod?

[agile flame]

i regret making a sdv mod in first place too complicated making a game from scratch was way easier but eh

[uncut viper]

(like floorings)

[gritty sandal]

Like cobble stone paths

[tender bloom]

Like the paths on the ground you can place?

[agile flame]

ye i opened the wiki

idk how do i find these parts of the wiki

i try to search it up but nothing pops up

[tender bloom]

If you’re making new paths then you don’t need to target the exact same coordinates

[gaunt orbit]

It's in its own subsection, but you can use the [[Modding:Index]] to help navigate it

[empty radish]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Index

[hot gale]

Making a game from scratch was easier?

[tender bloom]

It’s the modding sub space of the wiki, I personally just have Modding:Index bookmarked and I go from there

[turbid oak]

I'm worried it's just not there.

[gritty sandal]

But technically u could right?

[agile flame]

20 times easier

[tender bloom]

There isn’t one dialogue file, there’s like a million

[agile flame]

smart man

[gritty sandal]

And u don't need contentjson for AT mods?

[gaunt orbit]

can you imagine if all dialogue was in one file 💀

[tender bloom]

If you’re editing the existing paths yes, new paths would need new image files and new locations to load those files to

Not a man lol

[tender bloom]

AT has its own format

It doesn’t do content.json like CP, but you do need json files

[turbid oak]

All I can find are ones for engagement and extra dialogue

[gentle rose]

you can also make a wiki account and change your settings to include modding in search!

[tender bloom]

Each NPC has their own dialogue file

[gaunt orbit]

oh I didn't know that, I should do that

[turbid oak]

Oh. Thanks

[gritty sandal]

Ohhhh

[obtuse wigeon]

Thank you for the info! I shall be doing that rn

[gentle rose]

it’s so helpful, I strongly recommend

[turbid oak]

Can that be found in the characters file? I didn't see it there

[tender bloom]

Characters/Dialogue/Abigail.json

(for example)

[obtuse wigeon]

(I've just noticed that my profile on the wiki is blank, is that allowed to be edited? thinking of putting a list of my mods on it)

[brittle ledge]

Oh, what game was this? I'm sure folks would love to check it out

[gritty sandal]

May I ask what configschema means when coding?

I'm dissecting contentjsons to understand better

[turbid oak]

Ohhhhh. Thanks! I thought that folder was only for sprite sheets.

[tender bloom]

configschema is about setting up the format for the configurations

[obtuse wigeon]

It's the config options you can set to allow for configuration for you mod, if you have Generic Mod Config Menu they can show up in there

[violet valley]

How do I make monsters spawn in my map?

[gritty sandal]

Ooooo

[tender bloom]

so if you have configurations like: "ShirtColor": "purple" for example, you have to define a) what config options even exist, and b) what are the allowable values

[round dock]

Not at all, the folder inside pretty much contains all of the vanilla NPCs dialogue, regular/marriage

[agile flame]

i made couple ones that isn't online and will never be cause they are either mimics or is another game
but made one basically cookie clicker but cats im going to publish it very soon actually just had to pause it cause my laptop broke down and had to use another one untill its fixed

i can tag you when i publish it

[gritty sandal]

Ohhh ty guys!

[hot gale]

They go to another school you wouldnt know them type energy

[brittle ledge]

Oh, so it's incremental/idle? I follow the incremental reddit and incrementaldb so if you post it there I'll definitely see it!

[gritty sandal]

Poeple rarely make new stuffs from scratch right? Specially if it's retextures and stuffs

[lucid iron]

People make new pixel art from scratch all the time

[agile flame]

it is incremental but i don't post updates or anything like this so you won't find much info not now at least

[lucid iron]

I feel like you are asking about something else though, elaborate?

[gritty sandal]

Like instead of replacing the files like for example craftables to give it another appearance

[hard fern]

?

[agile flame]

and i get that you may be judgy or thinking im lying when i say making a game from zero is easier but trust me it is highly depends really but for me its way less steps

[gritty sandal]

I fear my English isn't Englishing

[brittle ledge]

Yeah, they're both places you can post a link to show it off when you release it incrementaldb's just an aggregator for idle games.

[agile flame]

damn bro how'd you guess the name

[lucid iron]

Craftables are a little special in that adding new ones that function the same may not be possible

Due to hardcoded things

[hard fern]

um ok does anyone know how to get appearances to work with HD portraits? like, can spacecore do that...

[gritty sandal]

Let's take paths for example. Poeple usually don't make new paths right? They can just replace the vanilla one with a different texture right?

[lucid iron]

You can make new paths easily

It's got a data model
