[fading walrus]

... Dosas are closer to crepes, to be precise

[brave fable]

ooh you're totally right, i wrote that before moving between like 3 dosa shops

[fading walrus]

I wish I lived between three dosa shops

Have to go to a whole other city just to eat them

[drowsy pewter]

yes i think a naan chef is more likely to do the pizza animation than the pancake one (if im not remembering them wrong)

[brave fable]

i waste potential by savouring fine biryani instead

[fading walrus]

Both is good

Dosa for lunch or breakfast, biryani for a food coma-inducing dinner

[brave fable]

it's just as likely for someone to use a context tag i don't expect, or omit them entirely, as it is for them to name their items slightly differently (or in another language)

[drowsy pewter]

does it check the internal name of the item or does it only work on english games?

[calm nebula]

to be fair it's an assum[tion the internal name is englihs

what if a chinese dev wants to use chinese instead

[brave fable]

well it checks the internal name, but there's nothing stopping someone from writing the internal name in their own language

or indeed just plain gibberish

[lucid iron]

Oh i mean u keep current rules, but also define loc_anim_pizza

[brave fable]

note that BakeyFoods and CakeyFoods make no attempt to check for torte, pain, tortilla, biscotti, or any other common non-english names for foods listed there

[lucid iron]

In case 6480 is like "tortilla is a pizza"

[drowsy pewter]

never

OffcenteyFoods

[calm nebula]

help help I'm drowning in tortillas

[brave fable]

hate to tell you but love of cooking specifically states that tortilla is a pizza

[drowsy pewter]

Oh well you're the expert

[calm nebula]

oh my god 6480

[drowsy pewter]

tortilla is a pizza i guess

[brave fable]

but i do like that opt-in rather than naive search

[calm nebula]

(aside)

[brave fable]

or in addition to naive search

[calm nebula]

tortillas irl are made with a tortilla press

[lucid iron]

Ig it could be custom field too like

[gray bear]

press the tortilla

[lucid iron]

"blueberry.LoveOfCooking/Anim": "Pizzary"

[brave fable]

(all you need is your tortilla press, a cheese press, and whatever it is that makes crushed tomatoes and you've got yourself a whole pizza machine.)

[calm nebula]

please have this animated for us by next week

[gray bear]

or else /j

[calm nebula]

[gray bear]

a blender?

[calm nebula]

🇾🇪 🇸

[gray bear]

actually are crushed tomatoes cooked beforehand

[calm nebula]

also, that's not how pizza dough is made

smh

[brave fable]

(oh, yemen. i thought you put indonesia by mistake while trying to write pls with poland)

[gray bear]

(which country is the no flag from?)

[calm nebula]

norway

it's a yaml joke

[gray bear]

flag_maybe where

🇲🇦 close enough

[calm nebula]

anyways, blubs, I demand more accuracy in cooking mods

[gray bear]

🇲🇦🇾 🇧 🇪

[calm nebula]

that's not how tortillas. that's not how pizza dough. where is my instant pot and my takeout-at-midnight-and-tears

[gray bear]

risotto is made without rice

[calm nebula]

is risotto a mod item or a vanilla item

[brave fable]

at level 10 you can make a one-pot roast. and since i never made cooking foods take time either it's pretty much instant

[true coyote]

My culinary degree is in shambles seeing this speak

[gray bear]

vanilla

[true coyote]

What do you mean tortilla is pizza

[brave fable]

fiddlehead risotto is vanilla. it's more fiddlehead than risotto

[true coyote]

Hotdogs are sandwiches

[gray bear]

there is no risotto in risotto

[true coyote]

Risotto without rice?!

[calm nebula]

oh, if I could make cooking not take time irl

[true coyote]

hyperventilates

[calm nebula]

one thing I want for the One App to rule them all is automatic recipe interleving

[gray bear]

eggplant parmesan without cheese

is tomato a type of cheese

[true coyote]

It is now

[brave fable]

depends how long you leave it for

[gray bear]

if u want cooking accuracy try a diff game

[drowsy pewter]

well to be fair stardew doesnt have authentic parmigiano reggiano

[calm nebula]

please, 6480, how can I put cayenne in everything if there's NO CAYENNE

[brave fable]

does it not? has anyone written a scathing article about this?

[gray bear]

chocolate cake has no chocolate

[calm nebula]

betrayed

no red oil either

[true coyote]

I think i saw someone made/is making a more accurate recipes mod anyway? Lol

[calm nebula]

betrayed

[gray bear]

they are made

[brave fable]

another fine abandoned love of cooking feature was more accurate recipes into the bin

[gray bear]

there's like more than one, doesn't ruin the point

[drowsy pewter]

its already a config in cornucopia but someone recently made independent ones

[calm nebula]

siracha is a lifestyle

[true coyote]

Oh blueberry can I pick your brain

About loc

[brave fable]

please do. get it out of there if possible

[drowsy pewter]

i mean i wouldnt complain if loc added rice to risotto

[gray bear]

is baked fish a fransktein of two other fish

[true coyote]

Is there anyway to display if a recipe has been cooked at least once?

Without yknow having to use up lookup anything

[drowsy pewter]

half and half... but which half?

[gray bear]

there's a game setting

adv. crafting info was it

[true coyote]

I'm p sure i have that checked and it only shows for crafting

[gray bear]

sprite leans into sunfish head but bream tail

[drowsy pewter]

mermaid fish

[true coyote]

None of my recipes show they've been cooked without using lookup anything

[gray bear]

should work for cooking too

[brave fable]

i could look into it, though the cookbook itself is kind of busy already

[true coyote]

Or at least maybe a filter for uncooked doshes

[gray bear]

ah yes, yellow

[true coyote]

Dishes*

[brave fable]

already available! it's in the filters tab of the cookbook

[true coyote]

Yeah I get thay

[gray bear]

BC has that but if ur using LOC YEAH

[true coyote]

Especially since it doesnt like to format with custom fonts xD

[gray bear]

shit caps look

that's cool

[brave fable]

you have issue with yellow vegetables? but not the blue ones?

[true coyote]

But i will persevere

[brave fable]

the cyan vegetables on the plate?

[gray bear]

i am ingoring the blue

joja veggie

[true coyote]

Really? Ionly have dishes ready to be made (which includes ones already cooked) and uh well not uncooked afaik

Let me get on my pc

[drowsy pewter]

"yo does anyone else like crab cak--"

blueberry, without prompting: blue

[gray bear]

it is green color theory is a drug

pretty sure this one is literally just blue

[brave fable]

crab cakes and bean hotpot are my favourite foods ingame. which is why i get so many opportunities to stare at them in bewilderment

[gray bear]

just beans in a bowl

[brave fable]

two beans.

barely a plural

[drowsy pewter]

Two bean hotpot

new shitpost mod idea

[gray bear]

is the cooked thing from BC?

[calm nebula]

maybe they are big beans

tbh it's also inaccurate that bean plants only produce 2 in stardew

[gray bear]

beans r pretty large compared to player

it checks

[drowsy pewter]

i hate to tell you this but stardew isnt exactly accurate when it comes to farming

[calm nebula]

it's canon now.

it's not?

[gray bear]

or cooking, or fishing, or mining

[true coyote]

it probably is from BC, I dont have it, i cant remember if it was conflicting or causing crashes/freezing

[drowsy pewter]

but monster combat, thats pretty on point

[gray bear]

the BC cooking menu doesn't work with the LoC one

[gray bear]

ah yeah it's how i learned my epic slime fighting moves

[true coyote]

yeah that

ok yeah LoC filter only has ready to cook (which is any recipe that has the ingredients, not just uncooked) favorites, new and buff recipes

[gray bear]

new great category

[brave fable]

new.. is uncooked

[true coyote]

wat

[gray bear]

new means u havent made it yet

[true coyote]

man in my mind new = "heres the last like 5 recipes you picked up" lol

[brave fable]

see in my mind 'uncooked recipes' is a salad

you see the issue here

[gray bear]

it's more "you havent made it so it's new to the kitchen"

or you

[true coyote]

true, but is it uncooked salad if its got cooked ingredients in it?

[gray bear]

"not made" also sounds horrible

that's cooked salad

[true coyote]

well at least now I know new = not cooked

now, if only the kitchen would register nearby chests like the work bench can with chests using better workbench

[brave fable]

oh that's in the next update i think

[true coyote]

O:

I patiently await to cook then

[brave fable]

just gotta wait for a pr to merge before i can post it

[true coyote]

i wish sdv had a feature in ff14 where I could downgrade quality items to normal

since currently LoC wont let me cook if i have all the ingredients but theyre not all the same quality

[gray bear]

is there no setting for that?

[true coyote]

not that Ive noticed?

[brave fable]

it should, just add them on separate plates

[true coyote]

I know in cjb you can spawn items at any quality

but i dont think existing items you can downgrade

[gray bear]

or do u mean like, same ingredient but diff quality

[brave fable]

it sums up the quantities of all matching ingredients, you don't need to use a single stack for a single ingredient

[gray bear]

like u need 3 blueberry and one is gold?

[true coyote]

yeah one of my ingredients, It needed 3 but one was a different quality

and wouldnt let me cook

[gray bear]

there's a plate limit no?

[true coyote]

I had an extra plate left over

[gray bear]

[true coyote]

cant remember the recipe but it had 4 total ingredients, I have all 6 plates unlocked

one of the ingredients required 3, but one was silver quality

wouldnt give me the cook button

[brave fable]

if you can replicate it and share a screenshot that'd be good, sounds like a bug if anything

[true coyote]

until I got another normal quality one

ok, if I see it again I'll send you it!

gotta get my toddler out of bed now though :(

[shut edge]

Make a quality scrubber BC

There's a mod that adds a quality merge button but I forget which it is

[brave fable]

quality smasher iirc

[shut edge]

Sounds right

[obtuse wigeon]

Theres two, quality smasher and another one, both of which I have in my game, one by keybind the other by button

actually doesn't Better crafting have a quality smash feature? or it mightve been extended storage

[gray bear]

BC doesn't

right im going to, try n add schedules

wish me luck

what the fuck

so i know vanilla npcs can attend the desert festival, shouldn't that be a schedule thing

oh is it i am blind

i struggle

how do i set a home entry for an npc

[hard fern]

in their character data

[gray bear]

so if they live in the farmhouse, location would be Farmhouse?

[obtuse wigeon]

NPCs don't have pathing on the farm, unless you're using Chus mod which might have it added?

but if they did I believe it would be FarmHouse

[gray bear]

the children run around the house

chu said to add a home entry since im adding schedules

[obtuse wigeon]

I'd say pathing was added then, it should be FarmHouse, I don't see why not atleast

[gray bear]

makes sense

[lucid iron]

The home should not be farmhouse

[golden basin]

I do this for roswell

[lucid iron]

It should be where you want them to start walking to the squid fest

[golden basin]

you have to add a npc warp to the farmhouse to make them actually leave the house but they can walk

[gray bear]

busstop????

[lucid iron]

Sure

[golden basin]

wait is this a married npc or like a extra npc that moves in with a married one

[lucid iron]

But no dont do any of the usual hacks for npc in farmhouse cus the farmhouse version is the Child

[gray bear]

i need a warp anyway since i'm doing desert fest first

[lucid iron]

Doesn't desert fest have a npc warp normally

[golden basin]

it does yes

[lucid iron]

For the whole town

[gray bear]

warp normally?

[golden basin]

yeah it does for npcs

[lucid iron]

So yeah bea just plonk the kid in bus stop for now details later

[gray bear]

i need to get my gsq for sociallize right

[golden basin]

looks liek this

[lucid iron]

Bea is using my kids mod, it has a feature to enable a NPC counterpart to the Child

[golden basin]

thats the schedule entry

ooo i aww

see*

[lucid iron]

They are internally separate entities so that's why they don't have to start from farmhouse

And most days the Child version is the one active and roaming the farm

[golden basin]

ooo i see

i thought it was like a npc that moved in or something

i have roswell move in if you marry lyell so

[gray bear]

IS_PASSIVE_FESTIVAL_TODAY says to use passive festival id,,, what is

[lucid iron]

Bea the toggle between Child and npc happens on the start of day so just imagine ur kid ran out to bus stop at 5:59 or something

I guess i can do something to make them to the run outside in morning later but eh that's Later

[gray bear]

i am confused about formatting a bit

[lucid iron]

Did u check the asset

Data/PassiveFestivals iirc

[gray bear]

first one is id right?

[vernal crest]

What are you confused about? Looks right to me

[gray bear]

i have a bad track record with GSQ

[tired matrix]

Yes I’ll change to modid before releasing the mod, its just so i dont confuse myself

[lucid iron]

You can setup a dynamic token instead

Then write {{Xavier}} instead of {{ModId}}_Xavier

[tired matrix]

Im having an issue where my recipe appears as fried egg

[tired matrix]

Oh that will do, I’ll do it

[gray bear]

what's ur recipe code look like

[tired matrix]

Thank you chu

[tired matrix]

Let me see if i have my content saved here

https://smapi.io/json/none/adb20e1e4da949dd8b4360190ba6d6ca

Line 2404

Ignore the rest its an old json

Damn i think i just found the problem

Its set as default

[vernal crest]

What's set as default?

You do not need a new Data/CookingRecipes patch for every recipe that you add, by the way. You can just add them in one patch.

[gray bear]

which recipe is it? i need search

[tired matrix]

Hotpot

Beef_Hotpot

[tired matrix]

The hotpot

[tired matrix]

Its cuz im an idiot as always

[gray bear]

i need to uh, stare at recipe data

[vernal crest]

You have your field count wrong

Your unlock conditions for all three recipes are in the display name field, while you have 25 1 in the unlock condition field

You need to delete that 25 1/ from all 3

[tired matrix]

So i just delete this?

I thought it was required

[gray bear]

isn't that too many fields

[vernal crest]

Yes, cooking recipes only have 5 fields (0 to 4) and if you don't intend to put a display name (which you haven't unless your display names are meant to be f Xavier 5, f Xavier 7, and default) you should only be using four of them (0 to 3)

[gray bear]

"Fried Egg": "-5 1/10 10/194/default/",

ingredients/unused/yield/unlock condition/displayname

[tired matrix]

Oh i didnt know there was a limit for conditions

Will fix it

Thank you guys

Im learning so much

[vernal crest]

Limit for conditions?

[hallow prism]

if you need several conditions at once it's better to have null and send recipe otherwise

[tired matrix]

For conditions or /?

[vernal crest]

Oh, fields

In this case condition means unlock condition

[tired matrix]

I don’t, just thought it was required to set a date

[gray bear]

an unlocking condition isn't required

[vernal crest]

It's not even possible to set a date for unlock conditions

[tired matrix]

Isnt 25 1 a date?

I dont even remember what it is lol

[vernal crest]

Nope, it's gibberish

[gray bear]

it's nothing at all

[vernal crest]

Did you read the recipe data page to write these?

[tired matrix]

Pfttt

[tired matrix]

Yeah

But i dont remember

[vernal crest]

You may want to have another look

[gray bear]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Recipe_data

[tired matrix]

I made the recipes first after doing the basic for the npc

[gray bear]

maybe u got confused by the Big craftable field, that one isn't used in cooking

[tired matrix]

Have no idea where i saw 25 1

[gray bear]

salad has 25 2 but that's the unused fields which literally accepts any 2 numbers

[ancient flame]

hey, is there a template/simple guide for replacing textures with content patcher somewhere? trying to fix up an outdated mod for myself, figured i'd ask before i try to reverse engineer some other random mod lol

[vernal crest]

What texture do you want to replace?

[ancient flame]

fences

(and gates)

[vernal crest]

!unpack You will want to unpack your game content so it's easier to find the data, then use a Load Content Patcher action if you're intending to replace the entire image file (will be totally incompatible with other mods, but if you want to replace the entire file you'd be most likely incompatible anyway) or an EditImage action if you only want to replace parts of the file. There are examples on both pages for what the patches should look like (a patch is one section of code with an "Action" field in it contained in curly brackets.

[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.

[vernal crest]

Oh and I even have a wiki page with info about what the fence sprites are like (it's old and hasn't been checked for outdated information but to my knowledge fences haven't changed: https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Fences

Once you unpack your game, you will find the fence files (Fence1.png through to Fence5.png, missing 4 for some reason) in Content (unpacked)\LooseSprites

[ancient flame]

yeah i have it unpacked already, needed to edit farm map before and needed tilesheets 😄
got it, and the wiki page is also useful since i had trouble trying to figure out what some of the gate orientations were lol
thanks a lot!

[vernal crest]

You're welcome! If you need more of an overall picture of using CP, the author guide is an overview.

[ancient flame]

will check it out, ty

[vital lotus]

If we make template with local tokens, if we didn't specify one of local token when calling the template what would it return? Would it be just null or is that even allowed? I'll try if I'm on pc but am currently don't have access to it 😅

[lucid iron]

It'll yellow at you

What you want to do instead is to pass empty string and do HasValue check on the inside

[vital lotus]

Thank you

[verbal narwhal]

https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/555c9b9499674ea0b9d5ad3b58a538ee
can anyone tell me what is wrong with #1 and #3?

[lucid iron]

Actions is a list

And you out CP style When in Condition which only takes game state query

[verbal narwhal]

ohh thank you!

after I have read that using gsq in cp patches increases loadtimes I thought I should switch

[lucid iron]

Uh I don't think you understood it, or the source is incorrect

CP When is evaluated on day start and optionally on location change and time change

Whenever the condition changes enough that the asset must be edited the asset will be reloaded, this can be expensive

[verbal narwhal]

oh! what

[lucid iron]

Condition or GSQ is a different thing, from a data perspective it's merely a string

Whenever it's needed the condition is evaluated by itself for a yes/no answer and then proceed to whatever work

In the case of trigger action it decides if it should run the following actions or not

Only specific fields can take game state query

Which one to use really depends on the scenario, like it's fine to use When/tokens if you wish to change a particular dialogue only in certain cases

[verbal narwhal]

mhm yeah I think I mix up when and condition regarding their meaning

[indigo yoke]

is there any easy event to track if a player just used stamina?

like is there a "player did an action" event? so I can plug into that and check

[lucid iron]

If stamina is a netfloat u can hook onvaluechange

[gaunt orbit]

The sourcegen thing now has automatic event hookups, supporting all smapi events, as well as static mod-defined events which use EventHandler<>. It chooses the event to use based on the method parameter type

[indigo yoke]

is onvaluechange a new smapi event? I don't see it on the wiki. it is a netfloat

[lucid iron]

No it's just how the game netcode works, not smapi

[gaunt orbit]

It's an event on the netfield itself

So you would do Game1.player.stamina.onvaluechange +=

[indigo yoke]

might have found an smapi bug?
Context.IsWorldReady says Whether the player has loaded a save and the world has finished initializing..

So checking to see if it is false should mean they are on the main menu. So

            if (e.IsMultipleOf(3) && !Context.IsWorldReady)
                return;

Should make sure the code doesn't run on the main menu. yet my log for the code after it is being sent.

[lucid iron]

Isn't that cus u did a && instead of ||

Need e is mult of 3 OR not context ready then return early

[indigo yoke]

okay ty. was thinking I wanted to check if a multiple of 3 and the world isn't loaded, to skip.
Okay, I see the issue now when typing it out here.

[true coyote]

@brave fable this was the recipe -- I'm not sure if its the only one because I dont have any ingredients to check for things that may not be working (scrolled through what i could cook and it is calculating correctly with mismatched qualities, for what I have)

when i made it previously i played around with the font size and style to see if the cook button was hidden, but it's not

[gentle rose]

probably a good time to learn de morgan's rule - if you want the code to run whenever (e isn't a multiple of three) AND (the world is loaded), then you want it to return whenever NOT ( (e isn't a multiple of three) AND (the world is loaded) ), which is the same as (NOT e isn't a multiple of three) OR (NOT the world is loaded)

aka

!(!e.IsMultipleOf(3) && Context.IsWorldReady) == !!e.IsMultipleOf(3) || !Context.IsWorldReady

[cold marsh]

If I read this right, by setting SpouseAdopts to false my NPC will always get pregnant regardless of the player being male or female, right?

[gray bear]

someone will get preggo

[ornate locust]

that sounds like a threat

[cold marsh]

Oh, I get it now, thanks

[ornate locust]

though what happens if that's set to false and you're both same gender? Is there logic for that, or...

Pregnancy dice roll

Eenie meenie miney mo

[gray bear]

unsure

if u set it to false u shouldn't be able to adopt no matter what

but who is going to get preggo

[ornate locust]

Actual stork shows up

[gray bear]

makes sense

[fathom rapids]

game rolls the dice for which of you is trans, obviously

[gray bear]

what if both female

oh wait

[fathom rapids]

yeah its easy

[gray bear]

this will cause an issue if the npc is nonbinary wouldn't it

[fathom rapids]

why?

I mean game code wise i have no idea how youd set it up

but lore wise

well they have something down there probably

[gray bear]

well u don't know, cant trans a non existent

[fathom rapids]

gender and genitals do not correspond like that

hmm. whoever is nonbinary is definitely trans, but it leaves open the question if the other person is

and its like... open free season. shroedinger's private medical details

the pregnancy roles mod needs to come back <3

[gray bear]

grow baby in a vat

more comfortale for everyone involved

[fathom rapids]

except possibly the baby

[ornate locust]

become Drukhari

[uncut viper]

nothing you could say could convince me not to pronounce that like "become drew Carey"

[ornate locust]

edgy Warhammer space elves, only the super powerful don't vat grow their kids

Imagine the pointiest elves possible dressed themselves in a hot topic

[uncut viper]

my wife is a big Warhammer nerd so I'm familiar I just think they're name is funny

[ornate locust]

It is a funny name

[fathom rapids]

ooh i like that

[twilit quest]

Thank you so much to everyone who helped me with the Broken Farmhouse mod. It's finally live! You can find it in the #mod-showcase channel. ^_^

On an unrelated note, is there anyone here who is in the Los Angeles, California area (or who can get there by tonight) and is free tonight? I have an extra concert ticket, since the person who was supposed to go with me got sick. >_< I'll ask around in more appropriate channels, but I wanted to give you folks first crack at it, since you've been such a huge help. ❤️

[verbal narwhal]

dies when: quere: gsq work?
like:

        "HasSeenEvent:AnyPlayer": "9333220",
        "HasMod": "camiska.FrogTankFrogEgg",
        "Query": "NOT IS_EVENT 9333220"```

*does

[lucid iron]

No

[verbal narwhal]

thanks though

[hallow prism]

if you explains your goal someone may have alternate idea about how to do it (maybe)

[verbal narwhal]

Thanks, I’ll try it tomorrow again, my brain is mush^^

[brittle ledge]

question for modmakers, especially those who are new: when you're looking at the modding wiki for info, how do you find what you're looking for? What would make it easier for you to find things? https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/

(Please feel free to ping me when replying)

[ornate locust]

If I ask the question "How could I send a letter more than one day after an event", would I regret hearing the answer?

[lucid iron]

just use stats or CT

[uncut viper]

use a CT or stat timer

or an event memory CT

[lucid iron]

our answers reveal our biases i see

[uncut viper]

i prefer the stats way but i most often see people recommend the CT way so i just put what i think people would more expect to hear first

[ornate locust]

What's a stat timer?

I can infer based on the name, but I'm not sure where to find the How

[uncut viper]

increment a stat every day until its the number you want

then do something when its the number you want

[lucid iron]

the thing to use is action IncrementStat

[ornate locust]

Ah there it is

Thanks!

[oblique meadow]

Really random question someone might know. Is there a reason anyone is aware of that the SVE premium coop and premium barn are standalone buildings and not upgrades? I have debated doing a small patch for it since so many people in modded farmers complain. But figured maybe there’s a reason I don’t know about

[lucid iron]

the footprint is bigger

it is probably gameplay design choice too ofc but thats less important

[tame burrow]

CT way is probably a hold over from 1.5.6, from before we had increment stat

[oblique meadow]

Gotcha. So theoretically I could update it and it might make for some wonky layouts but it should work

[lucid iron]

i would just edit the Size smaller

its fine for a building to have texture bigger than it's footprint

[oblique meadow]

Got it

Ok. Thanks Chu

[lucid iron]

animal door may need fixing tho

but yes juggle it until it works out

i would prob balance the prices lower as well

[oblique meadow]

Unrelated. I have some MMAP questions for you. I just want to reread the documentation first before I waste your time with questions you already answered

[lucid iron]

what ails thee

[oblique meadow]

I’m not wrapping my head fully around the panorama stuff is all

[lucid iron]

have you tried it in game yet?

[oblique meadow]

Slightly. Then I got distracted.

That’s why I wanted to reread before I harassed you fully haha

[urban patrol]

@ivory plume hello! would you mind giving me decompile repo access? my github is here https://github.com/nbeymer99

[lucid iron]

well just remember that most of the fields r optional for the simple usecases

[oblique meadow]

Working on that cliff farm idea you mentioned

Trying to figure out how to make the ocean alive

[ivory plume]

Done! See the repo readme after you accept the invite for more info, and feel free to ask if anything is unclear.

[urban patrol]

thank you!

[lucid iron]

i had vague idea of making use of the Minigames/*_boatJourneyMap assets as TAS for lil boats on the water

MMAP_IslandHorizon as base

[oblique meadow]

That’s kinda where my brain is at. I can animate some tiles on the right sequencing to make it look like the boat is sailing across the water once in a while

[lucid iron]

well u dont have to animate them by hand

there is a whole feature to make animations that go across the screen, like the clouds

[oblique meadow]

As part of MMAP?

[lucid iron]

as part of mmap panorama

[oblique meadow]

Ok. I definitely need to reread

[lucid iron]

u can try MMAP_MountainView for example

the relevant bits are these 2 pages

[hallow prism]

hey it's me again for a "help me with english" request
Those rivers run so deep into the mountains, you never know where they'll
is there a term i can use for finishing this sentence? Like, i know how i'll say it in french but some language expect specific words.

[lucid iron]

lead

Those rivers run so deep into the mountains, you never know where they'll lead.

[oblique meadow]

I would go with ‘end up’

[hallow prism]

thanks! i will see which one works best for the context, i appreciate the help

[twilit quest]

What is the term in French?

[hallow prism]

in french i would use "ressurgissent"

[twilit quest]

So like, "come out"?

[hallow prism]

roughly yeah

[oblique meadow]

So google translate says that means resurface. So I still like end up

[twilit quest]

"End up" is pretty good, that sounds the most colloquial. "Resurface" is more specific, but sounds slightly less natural. "Lead" sounds good, but is vague.

[hard fern]

resurgance?

oh

i didnt read the sentence

lol

[twilit quest]

You could also say something like, "you never know where they'll come spilling out" or something like that

[hallow prism]

maybe, but i'm not sure if it'll sounds natural and people sometimes already have trouble with that part

[oblique meadow]

I think context of why it’s being said could matter. Because in another context I could see ‘take you’ working

[twilit quest]

"end up" is the most natural and colloquial so far

[twilit quest]

If you're following them, yes, but mainly in that context

[hallow prism]

so context is for a character speaking of a lake, then of the rivers coming from the lake (which i should by the way make clearer) but since they go underground you can't take them

basically it's how you have one river going under the ground at whatever point and then it end up being the same river way further because it traveled a lot underground when you can't track it

[twilit quest]

nods

Yeah, I vote "end up"

Thank you for clarifying the context ^_^

[hallow prism]

sure 🙂

thanks for the suggestions everyone 🙂

[tired matrix]

Can i make a npc’s sprite disappear when i have a certain trinket in my inventory?

[brave fable]

imo end up works for someone following the river, but lead works better for the river, which runs like a path

[sleek flint]

Is it possible to type in icons inside a dialogue box (no portrait)?

[tired matrix]

Is there a trinket condition? I cant find it

[brave fable]

depends on the icons, the game substitutes some in automatically for special characters, such as ❤️ for <

[lucid iron]

for trinket tinker the general method is to use the vanilla set npc visible traction

[tired matrix]

So the npc that isnt being used disappears?

Oh so thats what its for, i thought it would set visible the tinker not the npc npc

[sleek flint]

Is there a guide on the possible icons and how to write them, and is it possible to create my own?

[lucid iron]

its for setting the matching npc hidden yea

[tired matrix]

Will hide it thanks again chu

Was trying to find condition to put on the npc’s sprite lol

[calm peak]

howdy guys :D So, i'm doing a personal-possiblei'mnotsureyet public modpack, and I was interrested in trying making a paintmask for a building mod...

....Does someone know how to do it? :C

[brave fable]

anything is possible ☀️ but there's no framework as far as I know

pretty sure there's a guide to the icons on the great ID spreadsheet

though if you can find one on the modding wiki that's probably a better bet

[sleek flint]

Wdym by "the great ID spreadsheet"?

[brave fable]

🧓 ...

[sleek flint]

The thing is I don't even know what to look for but I will try.

[lucid iron]

!itemids

[ocean sail]

Item IDs

https://mateusaquino.github.io/stardewids/

To use this command, type !itemids.

[brave fable]

not that one

[lucid iron]

well idk

just make krobus say all the ascii i guess

[brave fable]

the non-public Google sheet with absolutely everything on it hahah

honestly I don't know what i'd search either, the best I can tell you is $ 🪙 , < ❤️ , ^ , and some other miscellaneous characters for arrows

I don't remember the character for but he's in there too

[sleek flint]

In that case, can you tell me where the Google sheet is? You don't have to send it for me if you don't want to, but any help on where I could find it would be appreciated.

[proven spindle]

The event modding resource right? There's a link to it in this channel's pinned messages, named 'the great ID spreadsheet' in an old Pathos post from 2020

[sleek flint]

Found it! Thank you very much

[proven spindle]

Was trying to jump to that post so I could link it directly but discord isn't cooperating with me today lol

[sleek flint]

There aren't that many icons 🥲

[brave fable]

it'd be cute to see a builtin [] token in the style of LocalizedText to insert icons, emotes, items, etc in dialogue instead of having to use arcane runes and wild guesses

[sleek flint]

I will see if I can add my own, but if it's too hard, I won't bother. Any idea where exactly is the game's code for these icons?

[brave fable]

what did you have in mind?

they're baked into the spritefont hahah

and the substitution happens in the spritefont c# implementation

.. for some characters, anyway. the ones baked into the spritefont are simply the sprites for that character

[sleek flint]

I am making a custom channel that will tell you what floors are special floor types today and I wanted a skull, slime, dino, and fungi emoji.

[brave fable]

well this is very much roll-as-you-like territory, so there's not much input I can give as far as the implementation goes

best I can say is to avoid trying to edit the spritefont assets themselves, and find some other way of drawing an icon inline

[sleek flint]

If you mean the logic for this, then I already made it. I just wanted the icons to display the results in a pretty way.

[sleek flint]

Why?

[brave fable]

I mean the logic for displaying the icons, it's something of a task in itself at a guess

[sleek flint]

I will go for the best quality to effort/misery ratio.

Thanks Blueberry

[lucid mulch]

One thing that would be nice is LocalizedText being nestable

[brave fable]

i could go on for a while about this, but since i'm sunday morning chilling I'll leave it at 'have you ever seen someone patch a spritefont to add more characters'

[lucid mulch]

currently the output of LocalizedText only gets genderblock preprocessing but nothing else

[drowsy pewter]

it is a sunday morning chilling time

[sleek flint]

Also, does anyone know where I can find that pink sky I remember there were ones that were only pink without the orange and all of that, but I would be ok with anything at this point. I just can't seem to find anything except the normal panorama.

[brave fable]

uhh i have it around here somewhere

it's from the hot springs scene in my endless mod lol

[sleek flint]

What endless mod? I am curious.

[brave fable]

how do you need it?

[sleek flint]

wdym?

[brave fable]

best not to be curious, it's endless after all

what size, format, ..?

or if it was just out of curiosity

[sleek flint]

the original size to be able to edit it, and in any format.

[brave fable]

ahhh really makin me get on the pc huh

[sleek flint]

Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt your sunday morning chilling

[brave fable]

alas bed

[sleek flint]

Thank you!!! Do you remember where you got these, btw? I am trying to gather multiple variations and test them all to see which ones are best.

[brave fable]

you can plug this into gimp or photopea.com and check it out

well the background mountains and clouds are from sdv of course, the stars would've either been from the sebastian cutscene or hand-drawn, the rest is just some messy gradients and overlays

the weird leafy border is unused content from the same mod

[lucid iron]

are the bg from harvey balloon

[brave fable]

it doesn't much matter if it ends up in your mod if that's what you're doing, since it's probably royalty-free now by virtue of being on the wiki

no idea how this stuff works

[uncut viper]

trademark lawyers hate this one simple trick

[brave fable]

trademark lawyers can answer to this legally-binding document stating that i, the rights holder to those pixels, hereby permit all use under whatever purpose etc etc money

[uncut viper]

(what blueberry doesnt say is that the "etc etc" stands for "if you give me all of your")

[brave fable]

(it's explained in the fine text)

[broken rivet]

How to add a new horse using Cp mode? Not replacing.

[lucid iron]

you cannot

[uncut viper]

with CP alone you cannot

however, you can try this https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/35810

[lucid iron]

need extra mod

[lucid mulch]

turn all the tractor features off, boost its speed and reskin it to be your custom horse, ez

[obtuse wigeon]

does adding extra data to the manifest.json for CP packs cause any issues with mods? The extra data would be personal metadata (for a tool) with fields like Priority or Status, all prefixed with a unique Identifier

[lucid mulch]

no

[obtuse wigeon]

Perfect thank you

[lucid mulch]

though mods can access that info and may use it for their own purposes

[lucid iron]

If u r in C# u can access those fields

[obtuse wigeon]

That's good info to know for the future, I shall keep that in mind thank you

[brave fable]

which of these hairstyles have the best/worst back sprites it's real hard to balance the detail between the compact and busy fronts and the otherwise huge and empty backs

and what works for the smaller back sprites (e.g. right) doesn't necessarily work at all for the larger ones (e.g. right-1)

[lucid iron]

I think chibiusa is less croissant now so that is good
The bun looks really big from the back (2nd from right)
I am not sure I understand the geometry on 4th from right

[tiny zealot]

4th from right is giving vanilla hair (unknowable geometry) /lh

[tender bloom]

Small note but 2nd from right i think the bun is fine actually but when i do the same hair on me i get a much stronger dividing line between “up” hair feeding into the bun and “down” hair hanging loose (just noting about back view, side and front look fine to me)

[obtuse wigeon]

Bottom row, 2nd from the left looks the best imo I think, 4th from the left seems a bit too dark compared to the rest of them

The details get kinda washed out due to it

[brave fable]

right-3 is uranus and it was agony to even get this far lol

[tender bloom]

Pardon my poor drawing but something like this is how the lines of hair look to me in a similar hairstyle

[brave fable]

back to the drawing board

[tender bloom]

I have hella hair so I can get substantial bun volume if I try

[brave fable]

yeah we're after pork buns more than dumplings for pluto i think

[tender bloom]

And also I think Stardew hair defies some amount of logic

Like you can have hair that goes practically to your knees in vanilla

Who’s to say you can’t have pork buns on your head?

[brave fable]

it's shoujo comics. the hair, like the legs, just keep going

solid feedback all round, time to get out the big eraser for big problems

[white pasture]

Is that not possible in real life?

[hard fern]

It's possible, but definitely impractical.

Hair weight a lot

[brave fable]

depends how much time you're willing to spend washing it

[white pasture]

True…

[hard fern]

But the farmer doesn't care about washing and brushing hair

[white pasture]

The farmer has perfect hygiene

[brave fable]

the farmer, canonically, reeks (source: haley)

[white pasture]

Oh true

[brave fable]

more on right-3 (uranus), is the front frame still usable or bin it

[hard fern]

Like 3 from the right??

Which one

[brave fable]

short hair with centre parting

[hard fern]

O

The front looks good, imo

[tender bloom]

In addition to being wildly impractical, it also depends partially on genetics and partially on an intense hair care routine (that the farmer clearly isn’t doing)

[hard fern]

Yeah, long hair is really hard to maintain

You have to make sure the ends aren't breaking

[brave fable]

i don't even know swishy short hair too hard. better than the 2020 sprite is good enough to ship

pretty sure exactly nobody is installing the mod for the hair anyway hahah

[urban patrol]

i think it's cute!

[oblique meadow]

I like it. It reminds me of something but I can’t put my finger on it

[ivory plume]

(Things get weird in rewriter code. )

> this.GetType().FullName
"StardewModdingAPI.Framework.ContentManagers.GameContentManager"

> this is StardewModdingAPI.Framework.ContentManagers.GameContentManager

[gentle rose]

how does that even happen?

[ivory plume]

SMAPI's rewriters work by redirecting method calls, so this (as seen by the compiler) and this (at runtime) aren't the same value.

[gentle rose]

ah. terrifying

[brave fable]

thanks for the hair style tips 🥳 2019/2020 - 2025 comparison for your pleasure

you can really see the sailor moon art style in the new ones!

[brave fable]

bangs are the heart of sailor moon. cowlicks are the soul

omg hairstyle number 3 looks like my hair! i have to download just for that

[hard fern]

Blueberry these hairs look yummy

[obtuse wigeon]

Is there a way to export a list of GSQs from vanilla and from the loaded mods? Similar to a patch export. I couldn't find anything like that

[fathom rapids]

4th on the right needs to extend further to the left. It's wider on the front and side views

Also, the bangs probably don't curve around all the way to the back?

Other than that back one, these all look so gooddddddddddd

I love Rei's, Ami's and Setsuna's hairs the besssttttt

oh and Minako's <3

[royal stump]

As far as I can tell, no, but I just threw one together out of curiosity if you want it. It could be something to ask Pathos about for the alpha or SMAPI, and I might toss it into EMP later.
(Making it actually describe their args would be a mess, though.)

~gsq
[TestMod2] Registered game state queries:
PLAYER_SPECIAL_ORDER_COMPLETE
PLAYER_KILLED_MONSTERS
PLAYER_STAT
//etc
Esca.FarmTypeManager_NUMBER_OF_MONSTERS
Esca.EMP_IS_TIME_PASSING

[obtuse wigeon]

Oh that's fantastic thank you! I shall go ahead and add that mod to my mod list and see which GSQs are available!

[lucid mulch]

past me did do a one-off dump

[obtuse wigeon]

I shall also be having a look at this too, thank you! This is mostly to see if theres ones left off the modding wiki, so the more data I have the mor I can find out and add!

[royal stump]

I think the (vanilla) wiki's pretty complete, aside from the green rain one, since it's wonky for internal use & a normal weather check exists

[obtuse wigeon]

Here the list from my game with over 500 mods

I have noticed a few in the list that aren't on the wiki.gg modding wiki

[royal stump]

I didn't know it had one, seems handy

[lucid mulch]

not gsq but the only thing I know is missing from vanilla wiki is the extremely niche end Leo event command

[obtuse wigeon]

The modding wiki is great for more specialised and niche use cases, quite a few resources on there that either wouldn't feel in place on the official wiki, or are niche enough that they are rarly used but still useful to include for prosperity

[gritty sandal]

Would it be wrong to observe others art style and how many pixels they take to make stuff to try and make my own? Without copying it?

[brave fable]

well, nobody can stop you from looking 👀

[fathom rapids]

how would it be wrong to observe others' art style????

[uncut viper]

if you're not copying then i believe thats called learning

(/lh)

[fathom rapids]

also, you need to copy to learn

you should observe others' art style and then try to copy it actually

art styles are not copyrightable

[gritty sandal]

Oh :0

As long as I don't publish it and claim its mine I can

Learn from others?

[fathom rapids]

also that, yes

[gritty sandal]

[fathom rapids]

as long as you dont publish it you can copy anything

[brave fable]

i suppose it depends on what your goal is, though. if you want to make game-fitting art, you have to study the actual game art, rather than someone's custom content. if you want to make things in their style, then you would

[gritty sandal]

Oh that'll make my life much easier T-T

[gritty sandal]

Ohhhh so for example if I wanna make npc I should go in sprites of the game and see for myself?

[fathom rapids]

note that you can absolutely publish stuff made to mimic someone else's art style, as long as you dont copy the actual specific stuff they made in it

[uncut viper]

and ofc it helps to try and learn why they put the pixels where they did, just copying by going "ok they put a blue pixel here so ill put a blue pixel here" isnt gonna do much good

[fathom rapids]

yup

[hard fern]

pls i stare at other people's work like a hawk when i dunno how to do something. seeing a real example makes it 900% easier to understand how it works

[fathom rapids]

vanilla assets you can straight up edit to make your npc portraits

[hallow prism]

studying stuff is ok and a good way to learn

[gritty sandal]

that's saving me from so many headaches thank yall so much

[hallow prism]

even when aiming for vanilla style, understanding some concepts is always helpful (hue shifting, dithering, shading... )

!artguide

oh well

i knew the command wouldn't be that, because of course

[fathom rapids]

!pixelart

[ocean sail]

Where to Start With SDV-Style Pixel Art
If you've never done pixel art before, don't stress! It's easy to pick up the basics - the key is to start small, ask for feedback, and incorporate that into your work.

To start, you'll want an art program. See a list of recommended programs in the !software command.

Here's some good beginner tutorials!
http://pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11299&PID=139322
https://medium.com/pixel-grimoire/how-to-start-making-pixel-art-2d1e31a5ceab

To start off, try opening an existing portrait and changing the outfit. Start small: edit a shirt pattern, change a jacket collar, or remove a scarf and draw the clothes underneath. Ask for feedback too! The best way to improve is learning how to identify what's wrong and why, so then you can work out how to fix it.

Here's more good tips from the artist of "Celeste":
General pixel art 1: https://www.patreon.com/posts/pixel-art-1-6971422
General pixel art 2: https://www.patreon.com/posts/pixel-art-part-2-11225146
Outlines: https://www.patreon.com/posts/outlines-14106192
Shading: https://www.patreon.com/posts/shading-13869731
Portraits: https://www.patreon.com/posts/portraits-8693396

SDV has a few quirks to remember too:

• Colour limits: Limit the number of shades you use - stick to six including the outline.
• Hue shifts: Rather than making shadows and highlights lighter or darker versions of the base tone, SDV shifts the hue too. Eg. a base orange will have yellow highlights and red shadows. This goes for skintones too!
• Light source: SDV uses a top-right & slightly forward light source - check the vanilla art for reference.
  Most importantly, don't hesitate to ask questions and get advice from people. Have fun!

To use this command, type !pixelart.

qq: do i need a mod to kiss a farmhand in mp

i am, unsure, wiki doesn't say. anyone here be using mp

[uncut viper]

don't believe so

assuming you are married ofc

[brave fable]

you right

[spark wharf]

Need help learning how to convert an XNB to CP using https://xnb.pillow.rocks/ I need it explained to me like I'm 5 years old because I don't understand the usage guide 😩 the mod I'm trying to convert is a replacer to the cat.xnb file

[gray bear]

i'll be honest i've only ever done it manually

-opens usage guide-

[spark wharf]

I've never touched a mod in my life outside of config files

[gray bear]

alright so, i think i understand.

what's ur xnb mod folder look like

[spark wharf]

the mod didn't come with a folder, it's just a download to the xnb file. if that's what you mean?

[gray bear]

ok so

make a folder called Content and put the xnb files inside

[spark wharf]

Is that the same Content folder that's already in the Stardew Valley folder?

[gray bear]

make a custom one

i just did it i can provide you with a quick tutorial

[spark wharf]

sorry I just feel like I'm really slow.. where do I make the new Content folder?

[gray bear]

and then upload content folder to the website

[fathom sentinel]

meanwhile i am reading this doing same thing

not sure if it does paired with portrait

[gray bear]

it will work with anything

[spark wharf]

Alright I got a folder on my desktop named Content with the cat replacer xnb inside

[gray bear]

right side should be like this

not same text but should show a file

[spark wharf]

Yep so far so good

[gray bear]

fill in the info on the left (credit og author) and then click done, download button should appear

[fathom sentinel]

does the version matter

[gray bear]

nope

oh wait, i think

the content.json is empty right i, which files are you goes trying to convert

[fathom sentinel]

wdym

[gray bear]

tell me the name of the files

for example hairstyles.xnb is in Content/Characters/Farmer

[spark wharf]

cat.xnb

[fathom sentinel]

its a lot but its the npc names.xnb

[gray bear]

portraits?

[fathom sentinel]

yep!

[gray bear]

You need to make multiple folders inside each other, since cat.xnb. you see where the game file is? same scrtucture

Content/Animals

[gray bear]

Same idea, really. so Content/Portraits

[spark wharf]

Ah ok so go back to the beginning, make Content Folder with Animals subfolder, and put the new cat.xnb in Animals, and upload?

[gray bear]

needs to be the same as how the game does it

when it makes the mod, it will be in a zip. make sure all the folders are inside one folder, don't want manifest and content to be in the wild

[fathom sentinel]

i am trying my best to understood so i woudnt burden you guys

[gray bear]

it's okay, it takes time ❤️

[spark wharf]

the content json is still empty

[gray bear]

maybe i don't know how it works,,, honestly would be easier if i just did it for u

[spark wharf]

or rather, it shows this, but it showed this the first time too

[fathom sentinel]

ohh i have to make another content folder with the portraits folder inside that has the xnb files?

[gray bear]

might be broken, i'll bring it up to Pillow

are the portraits inside a folder right now?

[fathom sentinel]

inside here!

should i convert it?

[gray bear]

try, to upload it like that

i am confused about this converter

[fathom sentinel]

to the converter?

[gray bear]

yeh

[spark wharf]

would you be willing to? the mod author says in the comments that anyone can fix the file and use it.. the mod comes with both CP and XNB versions but the CP version (which was done by a different person than the original author) broke and the CP author is awol, and the XNB author doesn't know how to fix

[gray bear]

no okay it just broke

yes. i will gladly fix it for you

send me the xnb?

[spark wharf]

the XNB works fine and I've been using it, it's just the CP that something's borked

[gray bear]

or, mod link

[spark wharf]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/22165

please use the Gray XNB if you need to choose

[fathom sentinel]

i did it, should i delete the other portrait folder and keep the converted portrait? (pls pardon me, i only know how to code design)

[gray bear]

i can make it configrable

[spark wharf]

that also would be awesome

[gray bear]

open the zip somewhere else, see if content.json inside it has anything in it

[fathom sentinel]

same as this

[gray bear]

ah gee. can also convert yours if you want, im either misundestanding the converter or it doesn't work

[fathom sentinel]

that would be very appreciated, but only do it once you're done with torayori and have extra freetime

[gray bear]

i have a lot of free time, feel free to send me the mod

won't take long

[fathom sentinel]

i am not that sweaty mod player

[gray bear]

im almost done with it

[fathom sentinel]

the portrait mod is in naver, it is in korean but heree

https://m.cafe.naver.com/ca-fe/web/cafes/starvall/articles/248750?useCafeId=false&tc

[gray bear]

lucky for u i have an account

[fathom sentinel]

does it make an difference if you have an account in it?

[gray bear]

some posts can't be seen without one

[fathom sentinel]

i didnt log in there, just an guest

[fathom sentinel]

ohh

i hope they had an cp version posted

[gray bear]

should mention this doesn't change the icon when picking a pet @spark wharf

[spark wharf]

thank you so much, and totally okay with that, the original didn't either

[gray bear]

did u get the beach portraits as well?

[fathom sentinel]

i also wanted the bench!

[gray bear]

there isn't a cp ver, i make one

[fathom sentinel]

i just love the thought of them in that body figure

ahha..

[fathom sentinel]

thank you!

[gray bear]

would u care if they're xnb or png

[fathom sentinel]

as long it works, i woudnt care

and it wont replace the original xng

[spark wharf]

can confirm it works, very appreciated!

[gray bear]

so there's a short hair elliot option, do you want it configurable

[fathom sentinel]

i will keep the long onee

[gray bear]

alr

so many men

[fathom sentinel]

LOL

i wonder if it can overlap with baechu portraits

[gray bear]

can't edit two of the same assets

do beachu have the winter ones

[fathom sentinel]

the seasonal do

[gray bear]

hmm

[fathom sentinel]

like i want to keep the baechues female portrait but change the bachellors portrait

[gray bear]

i mean beachu's have seasonal

[fathom sentinel]

ohh

[gray bear]

you can rename the png's from this mod and put into beachu's for like spring

but it wouldn't match the sprites

maybe the beach ones

[fathom sentinel]

its fine

its the portraits i am prioritizing

[gray bear]

alright

i can uhh, try to make these portraits load first

[fathom sentinel]

alrrr and again, tysm for all the work

[fathom sentinel]

like replace naver png to the baechu's png?

[gray bear]

well yeah

[fathom sentinel]

if so, i can do that part

[gray bear]

you'd need to rename them to the season you want them to replace in

[fathom sentinel]

okii

[gray bear]

so from Alex to Alex_spring, and put beach ones into the Beach folder

[fathom sentinel]

how stupid am i

[gray bear]

not at all

[fathom sentinel]

i couldve done this a long time ago

to replace the png file??

or maybe i just dont have the coding sense yet

[fathom sentinel]

let me know once you upload itt

[gray bear]

oh! i though u were doing the replacing thing

don't need code for that

suppose i could make u the replacer, to save u any trouble

it's much easier than coding a mod who might not even get priority

hmm seems like some of the ones in that portrait don't get one in beachu

that i can code

[fathom sentinel]

i hope it wont cause another burden

[gray bear]

not at all

do you want all the new portraits to replace the spring variant? the others will be in beachu style

[fathom sentinel]

maybe all season will be the same

but the females will stay in baechu style

[gray bear]

[fathom sentinel]

[gray bear]

@obtuse wigeon @lucid iron
The keybind and iconic framework issues in Fishbot should be resolved in 0.3.0, i completely replaced the input simulation with harmony patches and direct game code access. Let me know when youve tested it, I'm a bit too low on time to comprehensively ensure that everything is still working perfectly.

https://tenor.com/ghlGdExoTOL.gif

I have embraced The Harmony

[gray bear]

tis done

uhh i did double check if i forgot anyone, might have made a typo, do lmk

[fathom sentinel]

i will just download it?

[gray bear]

unzip and place into ur mod folder

[fathom sentinel]

lol

[gray bear]

i am not dangerous

[hallow prism]

it is exactly what someone dangerous would say! /lh

[gray bear]

discord says this about all files btw. also, it mentions program, there isn't a program in there

just a few files

[fathom sentinel]

thats it?

i am shocked

[gray bear]

and png's in there

[fathom sentinel]

in the world of coding

[gray bear]

replacers aren't hard to code

[fathom sentinel]

let em try to run

hold on, its person error

[gray bear]

? did i break something

[fathom sentinel]

i am doublign if its me

if i put it all in the mod

cause the sprites of baechu isnt loading

[gray bear]

o

since u removed the files they wouldn't

should've mentioned

[fathom sentinel]

let me just double checkk

[gray bear]

if u want sprites and not portraits to load it'll be a code edit

[fathom sentinel]

ohh its vice versa

OHHH

i see

[gray bear]

it's all or nothing

[fathom sentinel]

i get it now

its alrightt now that my confusion is answered

let me see the portrait

i need to wait 9 am

[gray bear]

they should show up in the social menu

[hallow prism]

pretty cool! i also experimented with hue shifting/colored base for some of my hairs and it definitively make them more vibrants

[gray bear]

it seems i have an extra space somewhere

[fathom sentinel]

AAAA its workinggg

thank youu!!

[gray bear]

if i want them to say the item name in lowercase, where would i add the block for it?
like this?

[ItemName {{Random:{{lowercase:(O)137,(O)145}}}}]```

[gray bear]

no problem! glad to help

[fathom sentinel]

lifesaverr

aww but i am afraid that

on the next update, it might corrupt

[gray bear]

next update for beachu u mean?

[fathom sentinel]

mhm!

[gray bear]

you'd need to do the same thing you did

[fathom sentinel]

also i did a test if it works by adding an seperate mod of seasonal baechu but sprite only and it also workss

the naver file stayed

and the sprite chnaged to baechu style but the portrait didnt change, just the file you gave

i am so so so sos so grateful

thank you so much againn

[hard fern]

lol, reading it like this is like when you watch something and some words are badly dubbed over

[gray bear]

wahh formatting

also i think my strcture may be fucked

heck

did i fix

my lowercase is not correct

[lucid mulch]

you are using Fields to partially edit entries that don't exist

[gray bear]

but they do exist, i am birthing them~ i put in include in the wrong folder ig

so
[ItemName {{Random:{{lowercase:(O)137,(O)145}}}}] is not correct. do i just

{{lowercase:[ItemName {{Random:(O)137,(O)145}}]}}

??? formatting how

[hallow prism]

what are you trying to do, and why the lower case?

[gray bear]

understandable have a good day

[lucid mulch]

CP tokens can only affect what end up in the asset, but using dialogue tokens are runtime state

[gray bear]

i want my kid to say a name of the fish, but in lowercase, so squid instead of Squid

[gray bear]

unsure what that means, sorry

the dialouge string is
"winter_Sat": "{{i18n:boy1.Dialog.Winter.Sat}} [ItemName {{Random:(O)151,(O)130}}]$6",

how do i make it so the item name turns out in lowercase

[hard fern]

i too wish to see an error item

[gray bear]

(o) 151?

[lucid mulch]

simple explanation is CP runs first, and then the vanilla system runs

but if you did patch export <asset name> all the CP tokens will have been resolved, but all the vanilla tokens will be still be present

[gray bear]

so {{lowercase:[ItemName]...}}? since the cp one runs first?

[lucid mulch]

{{lowercase: [ItemName]...}} will just result in [itemname]... first

[gray bear]

am full of confusion

so lowercase before random?

[lucid mulch]

if you want to manipulate the output of a vanilla token you would need to use other vanilla tokens on it

[gray bear]

i have a random token in there

oh wait you mean

is there a lowercase vanilla token?

[lucid mulch]

you could un-lowercase it, not sure if theres a vanilla lowercase

[gray bear]

so i just can't lowercase it since it's a vanilla string?

[manic oasis]

someone help me with this?

is there a specific channel for these sort of thing? i need help with my daisyniko recolor because it's missing some tiles

oh thank you

[hallow prism]

here is more if you want to make a fix yourself for example

[brave fable]

if it makes you feel better bea, vanilla generally doesn't bother lowercasing item names fetched from data

something something "Octopus"

[lucid mulch]

treat them as proper nouns and don't ask too many questions

[gray bear]

that's fair. we must be nice to nouns

[opal hull]

Hey everyone! I've never made a mod before, but I would like to try to make one that prevents friendship loss with your pets if you don't have a pet bowl for each one. This way players could have multiple pets with only one bowl. So I have a couple questions: Does a mod like this already exist? And if not, what are the best resources for me to look at to attempt to create such a mod myself (like is there anything more specific than just general modding tutorials/wikis)?

[hallow prism]

hi, i believe this mod would require C#

alas i'm not a C# maker so i can't guide you exactly on what is needed (i assume something like finding the proper function, disabling the part you don't like)

[left nova]

Someone commented on No Friendship Decay - Reborn that it also works with pets, but not with barn animals.

I didn't test the mod myself though, but I think you should give it a try.

[opal hull]

I wasn't sure if mods that prevent friendship decay from like not petting would also prevent the loss from not having enough bowls, but I will give it a try first! Thank you!

[opal hull]

If the mod that HitMe suggested doesn't work for what I want, then it's helpful to at least have a starting point for what I want to do, so thank you!

[late gull]

What is the proper way to loop music when using the Game1.changeMusicTrack method?

[lucid iron]

How are you adding the music

[late gull]

I'm storing the previously played music track in a private readonly field called previousMusicTrack when the iminigame is launched, using Game1.changeMusicTrack("poppy", true); to play the vanilla poppy music, and restoring the previous music with Game1.changeMusicTrack(crusher.previousMusicTrack); when the IMiningame is closed.

Sorry if I've gotten some of the terminology wrong, I'm still pretty fresh to C# and am learning as I go

[lucid iron]

Ah it's not custom sound then

[late gull]

Nooo just using vanilla music

[forest plank]

can someone help me locate this certain bush in tilesheets? i might be blind but i searched everything and it's just... gone

[gray bear]

is this not spring_outdoorstilesheet

i look anyway

no i am wrong, bushes have their own tilesheet

Tilesheets/Bushes

[lucid iron]

I'm on phone so I can't look but iirc there is vanilla thing to just choose musics again

[forest plank]

thank you!!😭

[gray bear]

do not despair, being confused about "where is asset im looking for?!" is a part of being a modder

[humble timber]

real

sighs deeply in that one fucking meadowlands tile.

[tender bloom]

Note that if it’s in tilesheets the way to include it on a map is via paths layer

[forest plank]

tiles are so confusing, i spend 90% of my time searching for them and figuring out which one suits and which one does not🥲

[vernal crest]

If you're trying to figure out how to use them in a technical sense (like "how do I put a bush here that the player can shake") as opposed to just trying to figure out which one you think looks best, my advice is to aggressively copy vanilla. Find a vanilla map that does what you want to do and then copy it exactly. You'll make far fewer mistakes and gradually build your own understanding of how to make things work the way you want them.

[near island]

Could I get someone to do a quick test to make sure my 2 mods are working? Either https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/37365 or https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/37232

Just have to go to the back freezers of JojaMart, or the Candy rack by the checkouts.

I'm trying to troubleshoot for someone who says neither of my custom stores are working for him and I can't think of why that would be. It works for me. I'd just like to confirm that either one is working for at least someone else.

[gray bear]

do u not have them both installed

i have a test save already, so sure

[vernal crest]

Did they give you a log?

[forest plank]

i did open the cindersap forest map for that reason, but apparently all the bushes were marked with the path icons and i couldn't really find anything that would provide an image of it straight from the tilesheets

does that mean i need to put an icon as well, or just insert both tiles of that bush directly on the path layer?

[gray bear]

real bushes are just paths

[near island]

https://smapi.io/log/59bd9d62843648b79fded8140cf46b81

The gave me this one, but I'm away from home atm and it's a pain to sift through on mobile, but I don't see any outright errors

[oblique meadow]

The real bushes are the friends we made along the way

[vernal crest]

If you want a bush that functions the same way that the vanilla ones do, you need to put the icon onto the paths layer. I'd recommend doing that either way, unless you really, really don't want the player to be able to chop it down if they have the bush chopping mod.

[near island]

Thank you! I do have it installed but I just want verification that it is working for someone besides myself. For my own sanity

[gray bear]

joja farmer ready

when does jojamart open

[forest plank]

ah, so finding that tilesheet was unneccessary anyway?

[gray bear]

you can edit how they look with the tilesheet

if you just wanna place them on the map, kinda?

[near island]

10

[gray bear]

@near island works as intended

[vernal crest]

Yes, especially since if you want to place them directly on the map you'd use the ones in the tilesheets in the Maps folder rather than the tilesheets/bushes one

[near island]

Ty so much. I was pulling my hair out. I'll try to get more info from him. The only thing I can think is he's trying to shop outside store hours?

[vernal crest]

He has the shoplifter mod, that might be impacting it

[gray bear]

looking at the log they sent, i see nothing. might be yeah. self serve wouldn't work on modded shops no?

yeah also that, seems like they were banned from joja for a bit

no self serve actually

[near island]

Not sure what that mod is, I'll check it out thank you!

Appreciate it guys, this has been driving me crazy. I hate having any bugs at all in my mods.

[vernal crest]

I believe it lets you break into shop buildings while they're closed but yeah I don't know anything more

[forest plank]

i presume these two are the same thing, yes? and the right one can be interacted with while the left one not? ngl all this trouble i have with just one bush is rather silly😭 it's my first time making a map so sorry for being so confused

[gray bear]

your mod wouldn't cause this bug, maybe he was doing what aba said and that's why the shops don't work

[near island]

Ahhh. That would make sense

[vernal crest]

You don't have to apologise! And yes you're correct.

[near island]

Thank you much guys!

[gray bear]

hope u figure it out! np! im going to drink some jojamilk™

[forest plank]

okay, thanks for everyone's help!

[gray bear]

ur milk sprite is very nice btw, really says corporate

[vernal crest]

You're welcome! By the way, just in case you don't already know, but turning on trace messages and then using the search box to limit the log to only messages relating to your mods makes it way easier to search logs on mobile (and computer lol). Another thing you can do is look for the asset to see if anything else is editing it. Like checking "jojamart" to see if any other mod edits the jojamart map after yours etc.

[gray bear]

this one doesn't say anything conclusive

-# oh hey they have tsp

[near island]

I was worried that it came out looking like a bottle of bleach lol, but I couldn't get the handle a different way that I liked

[gray bear]

no no it's perfect

[near island]

Thank you! I'm new to modding SDV so I don't have all the cool tools figured out yet

[gray bear]

and bleach isnt blue so ur in the clear

[vernal crest]

Hehe I noticed that too

[gray bear]

sometimes im reminded people use my mods and im like

[vernal crest]

I like to tell people about the cool tools so if you ever want to hear about more feel free to ping me ^_^

[junior tiger]

Hey, so sorry to bust in again 🥺 over the last few days I made a house and want to add it to the forest map, but I have encountered a few issues with tiled.

First one, is this is my house, but in tiled the bottom is cut off

Does anyone know why this could be? Did I import it wrong?

[lucid iron]

How did you add the tileset

And this is supposed to be npc house right

[junior tiger]

"add new tileset at the bottom" I followed another tutorial again

[junior tiger]

Yes, for NPCs that I've been working on

[lucid iron]

Not player farm building

Ok what is the height of the png?

[junior tiger]

272 X 175 do I need to resize it? Does it have to me a multiple of 16?

[lucid iron]

Yeah cus each tile is 16x16

Your thing looks cutoff by more than just 1px though

Does tiled just floor automatically

[junior tiger]

Okay, I think that should help. I can increase the size and let you know how it works out

[lucid iron]

Yep pls do

[junior tiger]

I'm not sure how you mean 🥺

[lucid iron]

Math floor means round down and math ceiling means round up

[junior tiger]

Oh, I don't even know where I would find that setting.

But now the house appears to be cut off on the right. I changed it to 270 x 175

[lucid iron]

Uh you wanted to change 175 to 176 (11x16)

[junior tiger]

Wait hold on, nevermind

Yeah 😭 I used the wrong multiples

[lucid iron]

272 is fine cus it's 17x16

[junior tiger]

You were right

It seems to work out 🥺 thank you

The guide also asked to find and remember the coordinates of the door and top left for the future, but I'm not sure how to find them :/ I'm new to tiled
