(i still think its weird it does a tile check on seemingly the wrong collection first... "seemingly" bc idk maybe theres a reason)

#

if everything is working fine now and theres no issues i dont need the patch ill just add a note to the description of the traction

urban patrol
#

okay!

brave fable
#

so what's the use case for regenerating without clearing/replacing terrain features at the target tiles?

uncut viper
#

if you added a map patch that adds new things to the paths layer

#

also, it was only tonight i realized that what i thought were anti-duplicate checks are not in fact preventing duplicates. you wouldnt wanna clear a space if you didnt have to bc what if someone planted a tree there themselves or somethin

Is it possible to make a content patcher mod to replace the projectile.png?

I'd be surprised if it wasn't possible

Folks, I'm trying to Google how to edit the map to see if I can make a patch for @oblique meadow's Sylvanlight farm.

All I'm getting is stuff on how to create the farm maps, or change the forest, etc. I want to edit the one that is in the menu and shows like the characters on it. (Mostly so I can find my dang character.)

I'm clearly not using the right words, or it's not possible. Any assistance?

fossil osprey
#

Oh, you want to edit the world map?

#

If so, that's 100% possible

wheat kelp

Thank you 🙏🏻

I'm in a lot of pain today and my brain is not Englishing well 🤣

wheat kelp
#

Sweet deal. Going to add this to the top of mods I want to try writing. (Even if just for me.)

#

It'll probably be easier to start with replacers then ones that add in quests and NPCs anyway lol

fossil osprey
#

It's really not that hard to modify the map, hardest part is doing the art ^^

#

And yeah, replacing is always easier than adding for this game, but the processes aren't that different so it's easy to learn :)

wheat kelp
#

Speaking of, the sprites don't really have hands, do they?

hard fern

You just have more or less a vague approximation of one

urban patrol
#

yep, the festival itself works, it's just the characters don't show up

#

(it wasn't working earlier, and i figured out i need to load a blank lol)

#

do you need to see the patch export?

vernal crest
#

Nah

#

I don't have much experience with festivals, but in looking at the json I copied from Jorts and Jean I see the year 1 Set-Up_additionalCharacters doesn't have _y1 after it like yours does. Have you tried without it?

urban patrol
#

yeah, both

vernal crest
#

Ah yes reading the wiki more it says to use the y1 bit

urban patrol
#

yep!

vernal crest
#

I have nothing more to offer without starting a deep dive I can't afford to do right now, sorry. Might be helpful to provide a log with a patch summary for just your mod though

urban patrol

no worries! will do

Log Info: SMAPI 4.3.2 with SDV 1.6.15 build 24356 on Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.22631.0, with 21 C# mods and 1 content packs.
Suggested fixes: One or more mods are out of date, consider updating them

devout otter
#

Or maybe that's just for the path icon map thingie?

uncut viper
#

loadActors does load people from the layer in Tiled of the same name (Set-Up but it can technically be whatever, though Set-Up specifically has some extra stuff for spouses and children?) and will also load <layerId>_additionalCharacters_y[year]

#

so loadActors Set-Up loads the Set-Up layer in Tiled and Set-Up_additionalCharacters_y[year] in the festival data

#

it is case sensitive

deft pivot
#

H-hi, I encountered this problem with my custom Krobus sprite as I tested my custom Krobus mod

#

I think it's because my spritsheet is taller than vanilla Krobus'

#

How can I fix this?

brave fable
#

hi, you'll want to add a TargetField patch to change Krobus' size in Data/Characters, he's only 16x24 in data

#

you could also use TargetField: [ Krobus, Size ] with just the X and Y entries if you wanted to be a little funny

#

but we're very serious here. not very funny at all

deft pivot
brave fable
#

no problem! SDVitemgiftblue

finite ginkgo
#

(fwiw since Size is only 1 level in, using Fields instead of Entries + TargetField would've also worked fine)

brave fable
#

we choose to be very slightly funny

drowsy pewter
#

I love using fields during those very few times i am able to

#

makes me feel like a slacker

deft pivot
#

I posted it over on Nexus! Where can I promote it on this server 😅

hard fern
#

🤔 hmmmm sooo.... about that "make villagers only like items tagged A AND B, not either or" thing

#

since i can't just do something like that in vanilla with coming up with combinations for every outcome

#

what will i need to do in order to Make a Mod that does that?

drowsy pewter
#

i assume you already know C# is involved

fossil osprey
#

Would it be possible to reverse it? Like, (A AND B) = NOT (NOT A OR NOT B)

hard fern
#

c# is probably infinitely easier than doing the "list every combo" route, and it can be used in more cases

#

how can i make mods guys?

latent flame
ocean sailBOT
#

Making mods can be broadly divided into two categories:

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

To use this command, type !startmodding.
steady niche
#

c#

tiny zealot
#

you can do a lot of mods without writing any C# (see first bullet point)

steady niche
#

i want to make a hotkey to add 1 skill level

tiny zealot
#

that would be a pretty good first mod if you want to learn C# modding

#

adding hotkeys is usually C# territory but i wouldn't be surprised if spacecore or betas or some other big glue mod had some level of hotkey support for content mods

steady niche
#

can yall teaach me

vernal crest
# steady niche can yall teaach me

We can provide advice/guidance, access to resources, and feedback. But if you want someone to take you step by step how to make a mod you'll probably need to head to the commissions page on the wiki to find someone (mostly people who are members of this server, not randoms) you can pay to teach you that way.

!json please

ocean sailBOT
#

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.

"TriedToMarryButKrobus": "You can't propose to someone while living with a housemate. Besides, why would you? Krobus is obviously superior to any of the romanceable characters like cmonnnn.. (You could also download a poly mod, free love is pretty good!) - {{ModId}} creator <",

#

i don't think any mod has a wholly serious tone lol

tiny zealot
#

the vanilla game has the dialogue key "TriedToMarryButKrobus", which is straight-up hilarious /lh

woeful lintel
#

how would one add a context tags to entries in Data/Objects after the game added the automatically generated ones? Like category_<category> and stuff

#

is editing Data/Objects on assetRequested late enough?

autumn tide
brittle pasture
#

they're not part of data

#

what's your use case? are you trying to change the category context tag of an item without actually changing the category?

woeful lintel
#

damn it

#

adding context tags based on what is already on the item

#

like category_vegetable AND color_green

#

but on a large scale

brittle pasture
#

well nothing stopping you from adding those tags to data directly too

brittle pasture
#

oh wait I get it

#

I think

drowsy pewter
#

i think this may be related to "make villagers like item that has both context tags" thing

hard fern
#

yes

brittle pasture
#

well if you're working in C# you can just check "Category Vegetable" instead of "have category_vegetable"

drowsy pewter
#

yeah

brittle pasture
#

pretty much every autogenerated tag is based on data in the first place

woeful lintel
#

I know that, but the goal is to make a CP framework where people give a logic combination of context tags

lucid iron
#

Well u can do that with gsq right

brittle pasture
#

maybe you can just hardcode those cases

woeful lintel
lucid iron
#

What if u make a gift taste system that check gsq

#

Instead of the vanilla gift taste stuff

brittle pasture
#

well uuuuhhhhh postfix _PopulateContextTags

woeful lintel
woeful lintel
#

damn, I was looking forward to making a mod without harmony...

lucid iron
#

GSQ can just do 2 comma separated has content tag

#

I don't think there's that many places that only support a ctag

woeful lintel
lucid iron
#

Yeah I can see the opposing argument but I think it's better for more things to just support GSQ item condition

#

Because it's the more powerful system and has more applications beyond just this

brittle pasture
#

(terrible idea perf wise so don't do it)

lucid iron
#

I could make it so that the character gets a shrimp allergy during heart event 8 and now hate shrimp

hard fern
#

:(

lucid iron
#

Something like this wouldn't be checking ctags at all

woeful lintel
#

I think this is actually a two cakes situation

#

A mod to generate context tags from other context tags and another to create GSQ gift tastes

#

hmmm, actually, postfixing Item._PopulateContextTags would allow GSQ as well...

#

oh well, 1 a.m. so future me problem (I'm gonna forget)

#

Is there a tutorial on how to make spouse room redesign mods 🥲 programming is one of my weak points, so I need a tutorial to help me understand it. I don't even know where to look to find the vanilla spouse rooms in the game files

#

To add: I just want to change Krobus' to match my Krobus portrait mod, and I also want it to accomodate the free love players

fossil osprey
#

I'd advise you to find a mod that basically does what you want, and see how they did it :)

But it's not hard, you can do it with content patcher and just modify the spouse room map (I don't know where to find these specific assets however; have you unpacked the game files to see where they are?)

#

!unpack

ocean sailBOT
#

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.
devout otter
#

After you've unpacked the content files, you'll be able to find the spouse rooms in Maps\spouseRooms.tmx. What you'd want is to have your own map patch over the Krobus section of that map.

hey hey! i’m Kry (or Krystin / YourHonorTheyNeededToSuffer). self-taught coder + writer + chaos gremlin. i’ve been deep in fandom coding hell for years — built a 25k-line discord bot (ArchiveMate) by myself, run a chaotic writing/book club server, and dm a custom D&D campaign i coded systems for.

i’m learning sprite + pixel work right now because i’ve officially lost my mind and decided to make a Stardew Valley × My Hero Academia expansion called Stardust Institute. think: cozy farm mornings, hero college afternoons, and villain encounters at night.
twelve romanceable students (aged-up class 1-A), five teachers, four roaming villains, full SDV romance/event system. quirks become buffs + gear (no crazy engines, just smapi/json assets), the farmer stays quirkless for story reasons.

nothing’s built yet — i’m still in the concept + planning + “learn every pixel art tutorial ever made” phase — but i’m serious about building it and hoping to meet folks who love coding, writing, or art for SDV and want to teach or collab

Hi guys, I want to make a mini personal mod that helps with logging data from the fishing minigame. Is there a way I can extract general data from it? Ie whether a fish is in the catch bar or not, how much xp has been gained from fishing and other pieces of data related to fishing. I am very new to modding as you can probably tell and I just started looking through the source code today

urban patrol
#

looking through the decompile is definitely the way to go! as for making a mod in general, we have some resources. you'll want the C# side of things

urban patrol
#

great! unfortunately i'm a very beginner C# modder myself so i don't have any other advice, but yeah keep poking through the decompile

#

i believe SDV is event-based coding so in general you're going to want to check things based on that

I found a stardew decompiled github that i am reading

#

by veywrm

urban patrol
#

you should decompile it yourself, that may be out of date

toxic robin
#

brittle pasture
#

in this case you want to look at the code for FishingRod the tool and BobberBar the menu

toxic robin
#

Yea, I know where that is. It is in the menu folder

(what the repo owner did not you)

Question re: i18n translation patches. Are translations still subject to the original mod author's permissions if the only file with the translation is the translated i18n json file?

uncut viper
#

translations are considered a derivative work and subject to the original authors copyright and permissions

#

most mod authors however would be happy to have it translated

#

but it cant hurt to ask

lucid iron
late gull
#

Thanks, that's what I thought! I'm fine with anyone doing it but the translators are accepting Donation Points which I don't allow through my permissions.

lucid iron
#

You can report that if you want

uncut viper
#

oh if its your mod you can decide whatever you want basically

#

like chu says nexus sides with the author if the author makes a case and will go beyond just like, "is this technically legal" to decide it

Is also fine to just dm translator if u dont wanna escalate yet

Sometimes ppl just aren't aware of perms nuance

if (Game1.activeClickableMenu is StardewValley.Menus.BobberBar bobberBar) to also cast the object to a properly typed variable so you can do stuff on it

Although it's interesting

#

Is that one assetname with two parts or smth that's fun

i'm fairly sure the xnb for a spritefont has the texture atlas baked in, so yes i think so

xnbhack i think knows enough about it to dump the png along with the json

can you just tell content patcher to use Texture2D as the type for the patch export

tiny zealot

can you? i did not know about this

You can!

you can also specify exact types like patch export assetname Full.Type.Name.Texture2D or whatever

Yeah. Images and maps get a little shorthand though

just image ius better tho

because stardew ui uses a lot of exact pixel coordinates

https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/9ea84d9def944972930befd8dab401f8 back to trying to get characters to spawn at my festival--i added the event command loadActors Set-Up, then after getting an error, added an empty layer called Set-Up to my map, but still no NPCs. i tried changing the key set-up to be capitalized, but that throws an error too. anyone got an idea what's wrong? if i can't get this to work then i'll try adding NPC tiles on the map file even though it's not recommended on the wiki

the way RSV does it is by performing text operations on their own event, similar to how you might add NPCs to a vanilla festival. i guess i could try that too, before trying the map tile thing

Hi!! I'm super new to modding and I'm trying to edit a greenhouse mod so that I'm able to place wall furniture. What I've gathered is that I have to change the location type to decoratable. Is that possible? Is it super complicated?

# south dune Hi!! I'm super new to modding and I'm trying to edit a greenhouse mod so that I'...

I can't say off the top of my head whether that will be enough to place wall furniture or doing that will stop the greenhouse working properly, but changing the location type is pretty easy. You need an EditData patch with a Target of Data/Buildings and you should be able to use Fields to change just the value of the BuildingType field. You can use the example for editing the MossSoup description and just change the Target, the key (from MossSoup to Greenhouse), and the field (from Description to BuildingType). EDIT: This should be Type in Data/Locations, not BuildingType in Data/Buildings

woeful lintel
#

I want to patch Item._PopulateContextTags but I'd like it to postfix any override rather than only the base method. For example, Object._PopulateContextTags calls base._PopulateContextTags on its first line, so I'm pretty sure a postfix on Item._PopulateContextTags would only run right after this call, and not at the end of Object._PopulateContextTags, is this correct?

#

I guess the workaround would be to patch all overrides, and for each one check if the __instance argument matches the type that the postfix is patching.

#

oh, well it seems that only Item and Object have this method anyway

south dune

#

so that may be related to designating stuff as walls

i'm not sure if i'd recommend changing the Greenhouse BuildingType to anything other than GreenhouseBuilding or something extending that type

#

oh the interior, rather

vernal crest
#

Dangit I gave them the wrong advice

brave fable
#

if you want to make a building interior location decoratable you wouldn't change the BuildingType, since that's the 'exterior' of sorts you buy from Robin

#

the Greenhouse interior location type is set from Data/Locations in the CreateOnLoad group, which is conveniently null and entirely non-unique

vernal crest
#

So should Enni be editing Data/Buildings IndoorMapType, Data/Locations Type, or something else?

brave fable
#

typically you wouldn't change a building's interior location type from Data/Locations, instead using IndoorMapType from the Data/Buildings entry, but the Greenhouse only ever uses a single instance

#

since it has a Data/Locations entry with a CreateOnLoad field, it (probably) won't use the IndoorMapType field and instead use the CreateOnLoad Type field

hmmm... I have an issue with generating context tags from context tags on items: I postfixed Item._GenerateContextTags, but this is only called if they are marked as "dirty" or if the item instance has _contextTags == null, so I think I would have to mark dirty any item spawned from save data...

How to make VSCode not scream at json comments

In Visual Studio Code, go to File -> Preferences -> Settings, then search for "associations", and in the "Associations" setting, click the Add Item button to add an item with key *.json and value jsonc (see image).
If you are making a content pack for Content Patcher, you should consider using its json schema so that VSCode can tell you if your patches are valid, you simply have to add

"$schema": "https://smapi.io/schemas/content-patcher.json"

at the start of your content.json file.

To use this command, type !vscjsonc.

Any Linux folks on-line? I'm stumped about how to get a debugger going. When I launch from Rider, I never see any signs of life from Stardew Valley.

urban patrol
#

is there a way to conditionally add an event command for if a user has a mod installed, without writing two separate patches, one with a When: HasMod? i can do two separate ones it's just annoying

calm nebula
#

There is a fun way but also like, which command are you thinking of?

#

(The quick explainer of the dumb way is you can do -- to comment out a command but tbh I think you're better served by looking into whether or not the game has conditionally for the command you want)

urban patrol
#

it's not necessary for the event, just adds butterflies. but i feel bad making people install a whole framework because i decided to play with critters lol

royal stump
#

a dynamic token could probably do it? e.g. your_event/etc/etc/{{DynamicThing}}etc/etc
-> DynamicThing equals ModCommand/ if hasmod, or / if not

calm nebula
#

Oh, I was just gonna suggest a dynamic token that was empty if mmap was installed

urban patrol
#

ah smart!

royal stump
#

not 100% sure how to do the slashes correctly with event syntax, but yeah

calm nebula
#

And -- (the event command comment syntax) if not

urban patrol
#

excellent

uncut viper
#

does commenting out an event command completely prevent it from being parsed, or just from being run?

calm nebula
#

I don't think it's parser at all

royal stump
#

probably never sees it, at a glance here

protected void CheckForNextCommand(GameLocation location, GameTime time)
{
    string[] args = ArgUtility.SplitBySpaceQuoteAware(this.eventCommands[Math.Min(this.eventCommands.Length - 1, this.CurrentCommand)]);
    bool num = ArgUtility.Get(args, 0)?.StartsWith("--") ?? false;
uncut viper
#

is that called from within Event.ParseCommands()?

#

Because that gets called when an event is created to check the script

royal stump
#

ig not, it looks like that's in Update which is called elsewhere

uncut viper
#

I'm not at my computer to check how the -- is handled during parsing

calm nebula
#

Neither am i

urban patrol
#

what if i defined it as / when no MMAP, and /action ActionString/ when MMAP?

#

and not putting the slashes in my event

uncut viper
#

But I don't recall seeing it when I was looking at the code the other day

#

I may have missed it though

royal stump
#

just woke up and slowly reading through the 16 calls to ParseCommands, idk the flow of these in practice

calm nebula
#

But i thought it would skip past marking it as an action anyways

calm nebula
#

I'm advocating for the -- because it keeps things together tbh

uncut viper
#

My assumption would've been it still checked if it had a command handler first

royal stump
#

at any rate yeah, using a token to just have it do nothing if HasMod's false should be fine
(it may need / for one and action ActionString/ for the other to avoid a // situation)

uncut viper
#

I mostly assume that because why does the comment syntax exist otherwise

#

When would you want to comment a command instead of just removing it

calm nebula
#

Nah, that's for CA to do rapid development i think

uncut viper
#

(in vanilla)

calm nebula
#

Just -- a command instead of

#

It would confuse the command lookup anyways

urban patrol
#

i know that event commands can take ? for NPCs that the game isn't sure exists, but does that also apply to festival setup?

royal stump
#

if you mean the "set-up" key event, it seems like those work, the game uses Kent? in set-up_y2 for the egg festival

#

and they seem like they share all the same parsing/command stuff

urban patrol
#

cool! it's not a game-breaking error when it tries to add them, but i know i would get bug reports about red in the log anyway so trying to minimize that

uncut viper
#

festivals are just sparkling events

urban patrol
#

aww man. "no NPC found with the name 'Kent?'"

#

let me see if i can add them another way maybe

#

yeah vanilla seems to only add actors through the map layer, but oddly enough only kent seems to have ? with his commands and leo doesn't. i wonder if it's hardcoded somehow

#

i guess i'll write more patches to append them in conditionally

uncut viper
#

Leo has hardcoded exceptions yes

#

loadActors simply will not load any NPC whose name is Leo unless the host has the leoMoved mail flag

urban patrol
#

it's odd that his advancedMove doesn't throw an error with him missing then

uncut viper
#

advancedMove just tries to grab the actor and if it cant find the actor it just does nothing

urban patrol

#

relatedly, is there no migration guide for 1.6.15? i think festival shops may have changed since the festival wiki page was updated, but i can't find any info in 1.6 or 1.6.9

there is a section in the 1.6.9 page for 1.6.15, but between 1.6.9 and 1.6.15 is 95% just bug fixes

#

nothing about festivals changed

urban patrol
#

okay

#

maybe it was an even earlier change? idk

#

the wiki said festivals have a “shop” field but in the unpacked data it looks like they’re just extra entries in Data/Shops combined with a map tile action to open it like normal

uncut viper
#

you can do either or

urban patrol
#

ah okay easy then

#

i might add that as a note on the wiki

tight rivet
#

Hm. Sunberry has a lot of tiems that are marked colelctable but not donatable

uncut viper
#

if you mean for the museum, you dont mark something as collectable. it just automatically goes on the collections tab regardless of donatability if its the right category, which is separate from museum eligiblity (and changed in 1.6.16 so that they wont show up at all in the collections tab if they arent donatable)

You'll have to ask someone who actually does npc stuff how to use them though, I have no idea

golden oar
#

i thought about that, but i think that would have to revolve around the convo topic expiring, and idk if that is possible

urban patrol
#

set a CT while in the event with an expiration date of however many days you want. then in the condition for the trigger action, make the condition when the CT is NOT active

urban patrol
golden oar
#

how does it work?

urban patrol
#

are you familiar with trigger actions?

golden oar
#

yes

urban patrol
lucid iron
#

You can use a stat (IncrementStat) if you want

#

It'd be a direct counter and you can control length

#

Needs more work tho

golden oar
#

oh sorry i didnt see the previous message

#

ill try that

urban patrol
#

no worries, good luck

uncut viper
#

if you go the CT route then you must also make the condition rely on having seen the event, too, not just not having the CT, ofc

#

dont forget that part

urban patrol
#

yep, otherwise it would just trigger immediately

golden oar
#

Makes sense. Where are convo-topics stored? Ive never added one with CP before

urban patrol
uncut viper
#

the same place mail flags are, on the farmer. which is to say, nowhere you really need to care about

gaunt orbit
#

They don't have content per se, they're more like timed flags

uncut viper
#

you just make them with the trigger action

gaunt orbit
#

IIRC the only way they affect dialogue is via preconditions

uncut viper
#

event preconditions? wdym

gaunt orbit
#

Oh right those are only for events

#

I forgot how dialogue keys work bc I never use them

#

Anyways. My point is that it's not like mail where you have data stored in an asset somewhere, it's just an internal game state flag

urban patrol
#

what's the best way to check for kent? does he have a specific flag, or is it like any time after spring 1 year 2, or something?

uncut viper
#

without a mod providing a custom token for it you'll never be able to perfectly account for any mods that might change his availability

#

but his default unlock condition is literally just "YEAR 2"

#

he uses the UnlockConditions of the NPc data

urban patrol
#

year 2 is good enough for me then

#

unless there's a way to check that his unlock conditions have been met, but i don't really care too much about that

patent lanceBOT
uncut viper
#

you could actually probably check if the player has friendship with him at all

#

if you're checking in a spot that allows GSQs

#

this does still assume that if a mod changes his unlockcondition they still keep his intro event though

urban patrol
#

it's a When condition but i think you can convert any GSQ into a when?

uncut viper
#

no

urban patrol
#

never mind then lol

uncut viper
#

Esca's Modding Plugins allows using GSQs as Whens

#

you can use GSQs as trigger action conditions to set mail flags that can be used in Whens

#

but you cant use a GSQ in a When directly

urban patrol
#

i see

uncut viper
#

you may be thinking of the other way around, where you can use tokens in a GSQ if they resolve to true/false

urban patrol
#

oh that might be it yeah

#

would When Year 2 return false if it's year 3?

#

this sounds like a dumb question lol but i was wondering if year 2 just meant not year 1

uncut viper
#

like "When": { "Year": "2"? yeah thatd be false in any year past year 2

urban patrol
#

makes sense lol

#

can Year use contains? i could maybe do when year contains 1 false

uncut viper
#

you can do that yup

urban patrol
#

excellent

#

thanks

#

(C#) how much do i need to reinvent the wheel if i want to evaluate the object a player is holding, remove one instance of that object from their inventory, then add a CT based on that item? i was looking at the list of events to see where i need to enter, and i didn't see anything that reminded me of things like tile actions. i assume i don't need to recreate tile actions, but in that case, where do i enter? is it on button pressed?

uncut viper
#

you probably dont want to use SMAPI events for this

urban patrol
#

oh okay

uncut viper
#

this is for a thing like the soup pot, right?

urban patrol
#

yep!

#

i tried to find luau data but got lost

uncut viper
#

i would register my own tile action via GameLocation.RegisterTileAction()

urban patrol
#

awesome, i'll look at that

uncut viper
#

you'll need to provide it a function with the signature bool yourfunctionhere(GameLocation location, string[] args, Farmer player, Point tile)

#

but inside that function you can do whatever you want

urban patrol
#

is that something that's required by all tile actions?

uncut viper
#

yes

urban patrol
#

so in this case my entrance would be something like on save loaded, right? on save loaded, register my tile action, and then the game handles the timing of when i put carrot in soup?

#

or am i misunderstanding ModEntry

uncut viper
#

you can register it whenever

#

theres no reason not to register it in your Entry function

#

when a player right clicks a tile with an action tiledata on a map, the game will look to see if there is a registered tile action with the same name

#

if it exists it'll give that information to the function that was registered with that name

urban patrol
#

ModEntry gets called by SMAPI when mods are loaded, right? so if i registered it in ModEntry my tile action would exist in... the content pipeline? somewhere?

#

okay so it always exists but only gets checked when acted on

uncut viper
#

ModEntry gets constructed when SMAPI loads your assembly. Entry() gets called when SMAPI does its mod stuff in order

#

GameLocation, the class, already exists

#

its not in the content pipeline

#

its just a C# class that exists and it has a static function you can access

urban patrol
#

okay i think i get it. i'm not really storing the tile action data anywhere, just building a road to it for the game to travel down when it needs?

uncut viper
#

you're telling the game what function to use when someone adds in a TileData with an Action that matches the name you linked to that function

#

e.g. Action OpenShop Whatever blabla, thats an Action whose identifier is OpenShop so it would look to see if someone called GameLocation.RegisterTileAction("OpenShop", blabla)

#

and then it would use whatever function was assigned to that identifier

#

(thats not actually how it works for vanilla actions, but its analogous, so whatever)

urban patrol
#

that's okay lol

#

calling back to our conversation a few days ago, and looking at this, my function should, in addition to doing the things i need it to, return true if successful, because it's a bool?

uncut viper
#

correct

#

usually, returning false means some error occured

urban patrol
#

so i could return false if farmer is holding a non-object

#

or is that not the intended use

uncut viper
#

i think that probably is up to personal style

urban patrol
#

i'm losing my mind. is this not 4 pairs of brackets? you can see i've gotten nowhere with this

image.png
brave fable
#

you're defining a method inside of another method, which isn't allowed

#

if it was a mistake, just move the DidTileAction method outside of the Entry method, within your ModEntry class

#

if you wanted to create a local function instead, remove the private static keywords from the function declaration

urban patrol
#

ohhh yeah i did add private static after, so that's why it went nuts

#

i don't know which one i want tbh

brave fable
#

if you don't know what a local function is, it's effectively the same as having a lambda or func/action, but with an identifier

#

just a reusable block of code that's only accessible from within the enclosing method or function (possibly unlike lambdas/funcs/actions which can be passed around, though i've never tried passing/returning a local function)

#

how about you write out what you intend to do with it SDVpufferchickegg

urban patrol
#

i'm trying to register a tile action which 1) evaluates the item the farmer is holding 2) fails if the farmer is holding a non-object 3) removes one instance of held object from inventory 4) evaluates said held object and sets a CT

#

i'm trying really hard to be independent but i can't even find in the decompile how to get the held object SDVpufferchunks

brave fable
#

surprisingly you can use HeldObject

#

or is it ActiveObject

urban patrol
#

i saw ActiveObject but got a ton of errors when i tried to use it

#

i'm sure i wasn't using it correctly

brave fable
#

ah ofc heldObject is for objects, players use activeobject

#

runtime errors (from game/smapi) or compile errors (from your ide)?

urban patrol
#

my IDE

#

i've tried Game1.player.ActiveObject, player.ActiveObject, uhhh i think something else

gentle rose
#

can we see what your code was and what the errors were?

urban patrol
#

are screenshots or copy/paste better for C# code

gentle rose
#

screenshots are fine in this case

#

generally uploading to github is what I recommend tbh but this is a very short snippet

urban patrol
#

type mismatch i think

#

and i know my mod entry is wack

gentle rose
#

ah, no it's a programming concept

when you're comparing two things you need to use two equal signs, ==

urban patrol
#

oh my god i feel stupid

gentle rose
#

one equal sign is for assignment

urban patrol
#

i am lost in the SAUCE

gentle rose
#

no don't! this is how you learn things

urban patrol
#

i should've known that though

gentle rose
#

but for comparing to null in c# you can also do "is null" instead of "== null"

urban patrol
#

is scares me

#

is it always equivalent to ==

gentle rose
urban patrol
#

stop being nice or i'll cry on you

brave fable
#

as ever you've a few options for registering tile actions, here's an example of a few different ways

public static void RegisterTileActions()
{
    bool doSomething(GameLocation location, string[] args, Farmer player, Point tile)
    {
        return player.ActiveObject is Wallpaper wp && wp.Edibility > 0;
    }

    GameLocation.RegisterTileAction("Func_TileAction", (location, args, player, tile) => doSomething(location, args, player, tile));
    GameLocation.RegisterTileAction("LocalFunction_TileAction", doSomething);
    GameLocation.RegisterTileAction("Method_TileAction", DoEverything);
}

private static bool DoEverything(GameLocation location, string[] args, Farmer player, Point tile)
{
    return player.ActiveObject is Furniture f && f.IsFruitTreeSapling();
}
urban patrol
#

is that 3 ways?

brave fable
#

Func uses a lambda pointing to a local function, LocalFunction uses the local function by its identifier, and Method uses a declared method on the enclosing class

#

yep, 3 ways SDVpufferthumbsup

#

you can also use ActiveObject is null and is not null if you prefer

urban patrol
#

without Game1.player?

brave fable
#

no, you still need that, just pointing out the is and is not pattern

urban patrol
#

oh gotcha

brave fable
#

if you were writing this from within Farmer then you could omit Game1.player provided you were certain that your code only affected the current player

#

but that's neither here nor there

#

you aren't in Farmer and you won't ever be ☀️

gentle rose
#

you may have noticed that I didn't tell you what is does mean when you asked if it's equivalent to ==. that's because uhhhhh kbf_run

(I'm kind of joking, is is usually used to compare types and for pattern matching. null is generally its own type so you can always do is null)

urban patrol
#

i feel like learning what is is is step one million of me learning this stuff lol

#

is is is is is...

gentle rose
#

programming is a skill, which means it's a combination of constantly learning various things like that and then practicing them until you remember a fraction of what you learned

brave fable
#

there's also a secret fourth way i've taken a liking to```cs
public static class TileActions
{
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method, Inherited = false, AllowMultiple = true)]
private sealed class TileActionAttribute(string id) : Attribute
{
public readonly string Id = id;
}

public static void RegisterAll(string prefix)
{
    foreach (var method in typeof(TileActions).GetMethods(BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static))
    {
        if (method.GetCustomAttribute<TileActionAttribute>() is TileActionAttribute tileAction)
            GameLocation.RegisterTileAction(key: $"{prefix}_{tileAction.Id}", action: method.CreateDelegate<Func<GameLocation, string[], Farmer, Point, bool>>());
    }
}

[TileActionAttribute("Shop")]
private static bool Action_Shop(GameLocation location, string[] args, Farmer who, Point tile)
{
    if (location is not null && location.getCharacterFromName("Shopkeeper"))
    {
        var dialogue = npc.TryGetDialogue("shop");
        npc.setNewDialogue(dialogue, add: true, clearOnMovement: true);
        Game1.drawDialogue(npc);
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

type mismatches plague me

brave fable
#

handling remove-one-from-item-stack is a bit of a trick, but your task should be as simple as ```cs
// player is holding an Object or something that extends Object
if (Game1.player.ActiveObject is not null)
{
// handle your CT and such here while the object still exists (non-null)
// . . .

// reduce stack, removing object if fully consumed
Game1.player.ActiveObject = Game1.player.ActiveObject.ConsumeStack(1);

// rousing success
return true;
}

// deep shame
return false;

urban patrol
#

i was just about to try to translate that into english to see if i understood

#

how does an if statement perform an action?

gentle rose
#

I'm going to have to start using // deep shame myself

gentle rose
brave fable
#

the if-statement does nothing special, it's simply calling ConsumeStack per the () method invocation parentheses here we fill with our parameters, and then evaluating the result with the conditions provided

urban patrol
#

what if the player had 300 blueberries though? how would it be decreased to 299 blueberries

floral grove
#

hi sorry for asking this, any recommended robin marriage mod for 1.6

brave fable
#

without the parentheses, if (Game1.player.ActiveObject.ConsumeStack is null) wouldn't be legal C#, but if we were in typescript or something it would check whether that method exists on the object instance

brave fable
#

it would also give back the item with the updated stack size as the return value if the stack was greater than 0 or the item simply can't be stacked more than 1 anyway, in which case it would return null, per the documentation on that method on-hover

gentle rose
#

so an if statement condition can be anything that "evaluates to a boolean (true/false)". That's kind of a tricky concept itself, but it includes any comparison operators (==, !=, is, etc) and any methods that return bool.

Comparison operators can compare anything that has a value, so if a method returns something (so it isn't a void) you can call it inside a comparison

brave fable
gentle rose
#

dammit blueberry SDVpufferwaaah

urban patrol
#

i think i'm just used to incredibly non-concise programming. like it's not intuitive to me to call methods in anything but their own line of code

gentle rose
#

there's value in doing it that way sometimes (as long as you store it in a variable) but c# has lots of fun ways to avoid needing to do that

#

a fair few of them involve the is keyword

urban patrol
#

our good friend

#

how come we have to set ActiveObject to null if ConsumeStack already took it away

brave fable
#

i \❤️ is

#

ConsumeStack simply returned null, it can't somehow nullify the object itself

gentle rose
#

I assume it returns null if there's nothing left?

brave fable
#

we need to tell whatever Inventory instance still holds a reference to that object to replace it with null instead

#

or in this case, Farmer.ActiveObject

urban patrol
#

so then did ConsumeStack already tell the inventory instance to decrease the display number from 300 to 299 by being called?

brave fable
#

it simply returns null to tell us that yep, the item was consumed, there's nothing left, no matter what the Stack value may be, given that some items don't necessarily have a stack

#

we could be a little more concise by using Game1.player.ActiveObject = Game1.player.ActiveObject.ConsumeStack(1);

#

which would assign the same object instance if it wasn't fully consumed, or null if it was, correctly clearing the reference

urban patrol
#

ironically enough i like that more

#

it looks like things i'm used to

brave fable
#

so much for non-concise programming SDVemoteconfuse

urban patrol
#

only in the sense of like i = i+1

brave fable
#

#

Hi,

I'm trying to make a button that opens my mod's settings in gmcm, and I'm getting it.

But when I open it, the mod list menu is stuck, and there's no way to exit.
Any advice on how to do this without this happening?

There is a bug currently with GMCM

#

I think you can enter debug tailor in the smapi console to close it

#

!gmcmsoftlock

GMCM Soft Lock Bug

GMCM currently has an issue in which it “soft locks” the game by preventing you from closing its menu. If this happened to you, go back to your SMAPI console, type debug tailor and press enter. This should free you without having to reset your day.

To use this command, type !gmcmsoftlock.

cyan marsh
iron stream
# iron stream How would I go about adding i18n support to the variants created when using the ...

Sorry I just realised this makes no sense without context:
I'm currently using the furniture framework mod to add some animated furniture, it provides the option to have a collection of furniture under one 'group' e.g. have two different cat statues that are different colours under the same section ("Display Name": "{{RectVariant}} Cat Statue",) but differentiate the name ( "Source Rect Offsets": {"White": {"X": 0, "Y": 0}, "Black": {"X": 0, "Y": 32}).

Here's the code:

            // Sprite by SonreirAngel for Seasonal Japanese Buildings
            "Display Name": "{{RectVariant}} Cat Statue",
            "Description": "A statue to test Animations and Variants. Sprites by SonreirAngel",

            "Rotations": 1,
            "Collisions": {"Width": 1, "Height": 1},

            "Placement Restriction": 2,

            "Source Image": "assets/neko_statues.png",
            "Source Rect": {"X": 0, "Y": 0, "Width": 16, "Height": 32},    // in pixels
            "Source Rect Offsets": {
                "White": {"X": 0, "Y": 0},
                "Black": {"X": 0, "Y": 32}
            },```
I would like to add support for i18n files but I'm unsure how I would tag the `{"White": {"X": 0, "Y": 0}, "Black": {"X": 0, "Y": 32}},` (white and black) in the i18n file. Does anyone know how I would do so?

Then, i18n support is not released yet: it's in the 3.2.0 version, which is being tested. The good news is that you can try it to make it release faster!

#

Oh that's great! I'm happy to test it for my mod :D thank you so much

The short explanation for localized variant is that you want to make the variant token a part of the i18n key so that you can translate the variant key itself.

I'm pretty far from being a C# expert, but it feels like there could be a way to make whatever you're making depend on SV/SMAPI to be able to access the content loaders to avoid doing it "by hand"

cyan marsh
#

i don't do it by hand

#

and SDV isn't involved

#

I have a mod that pulls the data for me for off the game use.. which is available for anyone and you just need to press CTRL+G to make that happen

#

And NPC Creator 4 will look for it automatically

#

the only work I put in to it was making sure all the data was sorted

gentle rose
#

so it's manually parsing content packs?

cyan marsh
#

nope

#

when the game loads with SMAPI, all of it is loaded normally

gentle rose
#

oh so it does rely on sdv

cyan marsh
#

not the program

gentle rose
#

right but the data collection

cyan marsh
#

it just acquire the lists I acquired from my companion mod

image.png
#

it pulls everything I need for me.. I can even acquire positions of my farmer to use in events

#

basically, I don't need to look up things... I have it all

#

that reminds me.. i need to update the githubs

gentle rose

#

and get a smapi output right?

that is not what I needed

you can get it in the chatbox but yeah, I guess if you want it saved to a log file on its own it doesn't do that

I just find that when I'm already manually moving my farmer around it's just as easy to copy paste the coordinates ngl but we each have our processes

this is intergrated for NPC Creator 4

#

I am removing as much work as possible for people 😛

#

go to where you want to do an event.. stand in places, press CTRL+P in the areas you want people to go

gentle rose
#

btw, is there any chance you can add a comment to the top of the NPC creator 4 output content.json file saying "generated with NPC Creator 4"? just so if people need help we know where things came from

cyan marsh
#

usually I have it put in the manifest.json

gentle rose
#

often people only share the content file when they ask us for help so it might be helpful to put it there too if that's possible

#

otherwise we spend time trying to figure out what people do or don't know and where info came from etc

cyan marsh
#

sounds like a plan.. I will bake it in the content.json from now on

gentle rose
#

ty, sounds good 👍

cyan marsh
#

hopefully, people won't need to ask for help DX

#

it's hard to figure out how to make things 100% foolproof

gentle rose
#

if you want to REALLY go the extra mile, a clickable section next to each feature with a link to the relevant main wiki docs so people can read further would be fantastic. That way, rather than only doing things for them, this can also be a learning tool

cyan marsh
#

had plans for that

#

plus making a wiki for the application

gentle rose
#

nice, sounds great!

let's see how the new coding interacts with my character data

drowsy pewter

gosh i wish someone would make a vr mod for stardew valley that also supports localizedtext in context tag recipe ingredient fields

calm nebula
#

100% she'll make the best multiplayer mod for haunted chocolate

gentle rose
#

hmm. may have to shift up a gear and go to her thread

Ugh why is AI now writing emails and not emptying the dishwasher

Hey you lovely people. I have a quick question. So in stardew you have the doors that only open when you have a certain heart level with the corresponding NPC. How can I apply this to my existing Custom NPCs? When I made the custom house there was a thing you could edit so that you could only enter the house with a certain heart level, but since there are 3 npcs in one place I don't want the player to have to figure out which npc unlocks the house. So I just wanted to put the doors behind heart levels. Is that doable without any C++?

that isnt the same as for the front door of the house though, so like... do you want both interior doors and the front door to be locked behind npc friendship?

Is that doable? And if so, do I do it in Tiled or in the JSON?

#

So like this? This is what I had before, but can I change the heart level that's required or is that hard coded?

In the tiledata

#

Oh, so same thing I did for the warp

#

Yes, this looks more correct

Hi, this is my first time creating a mod. The mod is for Leah Expansion, im currently testing on the configuration, for user to choose "Overwrite - Change all dialog to new dialog", or "Enable - which the system will randomly choose from the list of dialog"

Im currently stuck at the randomizing the Introduction (when we talk to Leah for the first time), did I do it the wrong way?

Hey Guy´s, im absolutely new to making mods and im trying to make a new NPC for my Wife but i got problems with installing it and maybe someone can help me :)?

#

i installed the Mod manually cause nexus instalment wont work and it doesnt tells me what the problem is. So the problem is that my Game works without any error warnings with all my 120 mods, but as soon as i install my NPC i gget CP errors and nothing works anymore
