I even have a prototype to do that with any crop that I finished in, err... *checks*

drowsy pewter
#

You're evil DH

blissful panther
#

It just never got released.

Hisss light mode

#

Fully working, too. Just some modData added to the crop would specify the chance to spread, whether it it would destroy fences to do so, etc.

oh yeah, i remember that!

brittle pasture
#

well if you're interested in that behavior in a released mod then I got something for you

brittle pasture
#

though actually, hmm, it's not as evil (it only spreads to tilled dirt

blissful panther
#

Yeah, if I recall there were a few levels of madness this could do. Free spaces only, destroy floors, or destroy objects too, for the truly evil.

#

But yeah, the mod that actually exists is pretty... minty fresh, isn't it?

brittle pasture

Can you also implement compost

west thunder
#

May I ask a quick question?

calm nebula
#

Absolutely

west thunder
#

Is it possible to have a semi-aquatic barn animal?

calm nebula
#

We're being punchy

west thunder
#

Or is that just a coop thing?

brittle pasture
#

any animals can be set to swim

west thunder
#

Oh yeah?

Regardless of size?

#

I also seriously brainstormed a realistic fertilizer mod months ago before killing it because there was no way to make it fun from a gameplay perspective

#

so now I draw yarn

blissful panther
hallow prism
#

VMV got a compost feature on harvesting certain crops

#

thanks to atra

#

i am pretty sure atra would be ok for the concept to be frameworked (by someone that isn't atra), and i got enough of exclusivity that i would too

brittle pasture
#

yeah I should add a fertilizer dirt action to MTF (AAC - formerly CTF)

calm nebula
blissful panther
#

I'm now imagining a specific crop that fertilises instantly when it dies on season change, because leaving crops dead for a few days feels like something nobody would do...

brittle pasture
#

(also 6480 dunno if you're still around I also ported SpaceCore's phase harvest thing, I have not tested it though)
(benefit of using it is that it works with the other MTF features)

How can we do this (as well as detecting if:

  • The host player has seen a specific event
  • Relationship status of the player (s) with specific NPCs (especially among a predefined list of NPCs)

(Sorry, I am new to CP modding - so any of you guys please kindly teach me how to do things properly)

#

My specific use case is (for Immersive Unique Children Talk):

CONDITIONS:

  • The (host) player has RRRR and Star Crossed installed
  • The (host) player is married to the Wizard (of course after divorcing any existing spouse (s))
  • The (host) player has seen the engagement and/or marriage events of certain NPCs involved in Star Crossed pairings

ACTIONS:
The child (or children) would have unique dialogue - That's all

gentle rose
#

this wouldn't really guarantee the children are the wizard's tbh

#

since they can be from previous spouses

low marlin
# gentle rose this wouldn't really guarantee the children are the wizard's tbh

I mean:

All the children from the previous marriage might have dialogue reminiscing about how their birth parent (s) are doing post-engagement/marriage - Along with children from the Wizard's marriage (they would be detected by name - which if this IUCT patch / fork is published publicly (with credit to xiaoleiwen and Shaklin) can be edited by other end-users to match whatever name they assigned to the Wizard-born children) having special dialogue on their father's birthday (among other conditions I should not divulge right now)

#

So basically:

You divorce any existing spouse (s) (but having the divorcees remaining friendly with use of mods - thus enabling you to do the next part) -> Have seen Star Crossed rival hearts events of specific pairs (must be the host player seeing those) -> Marry the Wizard -> Have children with him in addition to the existing children from your previous marriages -> Double outcomes:

  • Children from past marriages would have dialogue involving the pair (s) the (host) player have seen engagement/marriage events
  • Children from marriage with the Wizard (detectable by name - which can be edited by the player) might have unique dialogue in certain circumstances

For all fairness - This is intended for players who are doing RP runs where they married any of the NPCs in specific Star Crossed pairings and then divorcing them after having children with them - so they would marry the Wizard without any issues (esp. with poly mods)

#

i cant believe tree size framework only has one mod

brittle pasture
#

could have been more but you insist on playing with our heart, six thousand four hundred and eighty

drowsy pewter
#

Well see the thing is

#

I plan to break some of my trees/bushes to start using it

#

so i only want to make the change once

#

but tedi says they're making a larger all-in-one framework thats gonna eat tree size framework

#

so if I rush to do it now, then in the future there'll be another framework change for my users

#

so idk when it will happen lol

low marlin
#

So I think what I need rn for my IUCT patch/expansion is:

  • How to detect if the host player has seen certain events
  • How to detect the host player's friendship levels with certain NPCs (preferably a list of those)
drowsy pewter
#

right now i'm pushing off plans for a nebulous "all tree update" and hoping by the time i finish doing all of the godawful tree art that the framework happens to be ready anyways

brittle pasture
#

you can use that with the event seen/relationship tokens

hallow prism
#

there's so much frameworks i want to have as optional/enhancing some of VMV stuff but it's so hard to focus/i don't always remember to look at stuff

brittle pasture
drowsy pewter
#

yeah thats one of the breaking trees i need to make wait for the all-tree update unfortunately

#

if the framework was ready rn i'd be rushing to do all the breaking changes with the next more crops update, but idk if its a good idea

#

probably better i dont have that extra work on my plate

{{HasSeenEvent: hostPlayer |contains=EventId}}

#

Relationship/Hearts still require specifying a single NPC, so you can list them out in a query

#

Hi guys, been a while since I've been in here. I've gotten bug reports with my cooking mod. If someone skips a heart event, then they won't receive the recipe in the mail. Is there a simple way to fix this, so that even if they skip it, they still get the recipe in mail?

hallow prism
#

there was also the custom moss that could have worked for cinnamon

#

but then it's yet another framework

brittle pasture
drowsy pewter
elfin kindle
drowsy pewter
#

if the mail action is after /skippable/ then it will skip the mail action

fathom hound
drowsy pewter
#

so what flag are you using to check it?

#

because the player shuold have "seen" the event regardless

fathom hound
#

I'll need to check it's been a while

#

One sec

low marlin
#

Speaking of Heart events - If the host player has seen a heart event with major changes (such as those in Star Crossed / rival hearts mod) - would the changes apply to every player in MP?

drowsy pewter
#

well i would hope they all have the same mods

#

depends if the mod author coded it correctly i guess

#

some people might overlook multiplayer

low marlin
#

Star Crossed would be the mod in which events are tied to how I am planning my IUCT fork

drowsy pewter
#

you probably know better than us then

fathom hound
drowsy pewter
#

see things like npc schedules and such are up to the host player to determine, so as long as the host has the correct flags those would work out fine. But there might be dialogue conditions or other stuff that's inadvertently checking for the farmhand's flags, and if the mod isn't set up properly to make sure all the farmhands are synced with the host flags, there might be a little weirdness

#

its up to you to read the mod code and figure out who's flags you need to be checking

fathom hound
#

"Trigger": "DayStarted", "Condition": "PLAYER_HAS_SEEN_EVENT Any 639373", "Action": "AddMail Current MarnieMatchaLatteLetter"

drowsy pewter
#

have you tested it yourself to make sure the problem really is because players are skipping the event?

#

players invent all sorts of reasons to explain weird mod behavior

fathom hound
#

No, but someone tested it for me, and said they made it so that their save rewatched the event again, then they got the recipe right after they did that, so I'm taking their word for it. They posted the solution of doing this as well in my comments.

drowsy pewter
#

so i'm not an event person, someone else can correct me, but I would assume that seen event is true whether or not you skip the event, because otherwise the event itself would just keep replaying if you did not mark it as seen

fathom hound
drowsy pewter
#

so personally i would test myself

fathom hound
#

could it be because they downloaded the mod after already skipping the event

drowsy pewter
#

wouldnt be

fathom hound
#

hmm okay

brittle ledge
#

Hasseenevent will fire even if they skipped it right away

#

nope this was all added at the same time, just one time

#

so no editing with this particular ID

drowsy pewter
#

is this host only trigger action?

brittle pasture
drowsy pewter
#

i notice it checks if any player has seen the event

fathom hound
#

yeah i made it as any, i basically copied this from another ID i had

low marlin
fathom hound
#

"{{ModId}}_MisterQiQiBurgerLetter": { "Id": "{{ModId}}_MisterQiQiBurgerLetter", "Trigger": "DayStarted", "Condition": "PLAYER_HAS_SEEN_EVENT Any 10040609", "Action": "AddMail Current MisterQiQiBurgerLetter" }, "{{ModId}}_MarnieMatchaLatteLetter": { "Id": "{{ModId}}_MarnieMatchaLatteLetter", "Trigger": "DayStarted", "Condition": "PLAYER_HAS_SEEN_EVENT Any 639373", "Action": "AddMail Current MarnieMatchaLatteLetter" }, "{{ModId}}_CarolineDangoLetter": { "Id": "{{ModId}}_CarolineDangoLetter", "Trigger": "DayStarted", "Condition": "PLAYER_HAS_SEEN_EVENT Any 719926", "Action": "AddMail Current CarolineDangoLetter" } }

Just find it weird that it's only the Matcha people are having issues with, when I have other items that have the same triggers, just different events

#

I also moved literally everything from my C drive to E drive, so it's gonna take me a while to re-set up Steam to run from my external drive, if anyone could help me test, i'd really appreciate it! or just tell me how to get steam to run again but from my E drive LOL

low marlin
#

Oh NVM, just happened to scroll upon the section for “Input Arguments” in the docs

elfin kindle
#

Hrm, has anyone else had issues with dialogue in the schedule? Like the dialogue pulled from strings, not their usual. Whenever the dialogue event is put in their schedule, they straight up ignore it and just stand at their previous spot?
Schedule.json: https://smapi.io/json/none/2c4e41fc7b104be79ebf28eb906362c8
Schedule Dialogue.json: https://smapi.io/json/none/ee5d0924852e420d8e46eb313f5f314b

In the content.json i've loaded both the schedule and Strings/Schedule in their respective spots with a blank.json and included both files. And i've made sure to sleep to reset the schedule whenever i've tried it and they still just stand there ^^" And im not getting an errors from the console either

So I have 12 nearly identical "books" (fake books with spacecore onitemused setting off a trigger action), and every time i need to code something for them I copy the same code 12 times and ctrl+f to swap out the ids.

Hello
Is there any way to get a list of all the item categories in the game? What I've tried is that I can't get the ones that add mods.
Thanks

Debug mode for time helps, but I was talking literally about the mod that allows you to speed up the game time x2 or x4 (or higher) so walking with him doesn't take literally all day

spice sapphire
# drowsy pewter You need to explain more in detail

I'm trying to make a mod that sends items to chests configured by item category.

For example, if a chest is configured with the fruit category, when you press the shortcut, all items with the fruit category are moved to this chest.

The problem I'm having is that I can't capture items with added categories, like in the case of Mirin's Museum of Curiosities, which adds a category called Curio (in Spanish).
And I want to make sure it captures any category that's added.

okay so- as you might have deduced from my posts here I'm way too ambitious for my own good- and I wanna make a huge 14 heart storyline for Krobus (similar to elliott's mechanics-wise) where they go into the mines to try and fight for justice in the shadowfolk society, helping some shadowfolk escape (they'll be added to the game as like half-NPCs similar to birdie) to the surface. After they come back, either:
A: no shadow monsters spawn, all shadow-eradication related stuff is removed
B: shadow monsters spawn much less frequently
(A will be default, and B will be an alternative option in the config)
might be posting here asking for storyline advice later :)

Hello I'm making a custom farmhouse map, is the spouse room really need to have a way connected to its left wall? Can I connect to its right wall instead?

lucid iron

Yea it's possible

The actual spouse room is within the beams so it doesn't need a wall at all

lean veldt

So a way connected to the bottom is fine too?

lucid iron

It's just a particular map area Bolb

Yes. BUT. Some spouses have furniture at the bottom of their spouse rooms so may become impassable.

do you find value in being able to reference game code without your pc

next plaza

It’s also got the unpacked content files, which is useful since it has history

So you could see when a filed on something changed

Or if you don’t have Stardew version history knowledge (because you’re not Stardew old like me), you could look up when an item was added (though if it’s before that asset was turned into a data model you’d have to check in two stages)

hey guys, programming question, but related to my mod. say my if statement has three required values (condition 1 && condition 2 && condition 3), does C# evaluate it one at a time in sequence until one fails, then skips checking the rest of the conditions?

brave fable
#

yes, evaluated left-to-right in this instance

molten summit
#

I may just suck at programming, but I am having it check condition 1, then condition 2. if it checked condition 2 first, it would throw an error, but condition 1 checks to see if that error would happen if it evaluated condition 2

#

normally I would just nest if statements for readability but it's not the way I have the code laid out lol

brave fable
#

for example, if (Game1.currentLocation is not null && Game1.currentLocation.ambientLight != Color.White) would stop after the first condition if currentLocation is null, so it would never throw an exception when trying to read ambientLight of a null instance

molten summit
#

ok, in essense that is the exact same thing I am doing, but for some reason it felt wrong

#

I am switching back and forth between a bunch of different programming languages and I am having trouble keeping track due to lack of sleep

Clearly c# just needs to introduce c++ constexpr. What could go wrong

#

(I unironically would like some sort of const correctness type thing too, though. Like if you mark a field as readonly, it could have the fields be read only too, not just the reference.)

#

(But in some saner way that c++ does)

gaunt orbit
#

Well, I think there's some advantages to having mutable set-once fields

#

Like collections and netfields

next plaza
#

Yeah, I don’t mean literally readonly

#

Like, a new keyword for that

Oh yeah I would love that

EditorBrowsable sadly does not apply

next plaza

Hmm

gaunt orbit

EditorBrowsable is ignored within the same assembly, which sourcegen counts as

next plaza
#

Also a way to force objects allocated in method body to have to be done with using or something (since scope destructors aren’t gonna happen for sure)

next plaza
gaunt orbit
#

Or at least an attribute to provide a warning

I guess if it’s your source gen you could bundle an analyzer that does that

what is it supposed to look like? do you know where the wrong texture is coming from? (another mod or same mod?)

valid folio
# tender bloom what is it supposed to look like? do you know where the wrong texture is coming ...

It happens with several mods — the item is a bracelet, but the texture isn’t showing in color; it looks white or something like that. The same thing happens with wool from another mod and with eggs from another one. I thought maybe a retexture mod might be interfering, so I disabled them, but the issue still persists.

If it´s complicated. I’ll open a ticket tomorrow and ask about it in the mod support section.

I don't know offhand what would cause it, but I'd recommend using Lookup Anything with some of the debug tools turned on

Is there a way to make the json parser fallback to the default value of a field on a data model when this specific field fails to be parsed? I have a field set as List<string>, but the author mentioned above made packs that give a single string. In previous FF versions, it was just ignoring the field on failed parsing, but using a proper data model makes it so that the whole data file fails to parse because of this one invalid field.

Hey, I have a quick question. I would love to get my mod out for more testing, are there any chats I could do that in? Also wanted to ask about dependencies for my mod.

Copy the tilesheets you're using into the same folder as the map.
For unchanged vanilla tilesheets, rename them to start with a dot (like .townInterior.png). This tells SMAPI to ignore the file when loading the map in-game, and load the one in the Content folder instead.

Hi hi! Does anyone know ThatKingKai?

I wrote to the author on Nexus, but the modder hasn't been active for quite some time now. I completed the default.json for them because it was missing a lot of lines, but the text from the strings.json wasn't implemented; that is, it's in the strings.json file but not referenced in the machine's code. Because of this, it never shows up in the translations and appears in English by default.

I already sent the author the default.json and the JSON files with the correct keys. It took me almost 48 hours to complete all that, and it's a really nice mod. It pains me to see that more people can't enjoy it in other languages.

Looking at the spacecore documentation, it looks like you would apply the Condition to the spawnable definition for the truffle crabs rather than as part of the spawn group code.

I have more improvements to add before I package it up and make it available again after many years. Just wanted to share that with no one in particular. Have a great day/evening all.

this is how ive written it but it doesnt seem to be working as the truffle crab is still spawning

latent mauve
#

Is there a reason you swapped from PLAYER_VISITED_LOCATION to LOCATION_ACCESSIBLE ?

#

Both are GSQs, but it's possible one is returning True when you aren't expecting it to

quick sand
#

im testing both each time to be sure

latent mauve
#

Ok, and you are testing on a new save as well?

junior tiger
#

I hope it's okay for me to come back, because I didn't get an answer earlier
I do have one more request though. The Log says that my NPC cannot get into his own room, because the warp couldn't be found, but as a player I can warp just fine, where can I start looking to find a solution? 🥺

https://smapi.io/log/a0acf1d7f94b4ecd96019b17f18d494d

Or... wait a minute? Is there supposed to be a warp directly into the basement (his room)? Because for now you have to enter the main bulding and THEN get into the basement

Loading up my computer to see if I can find anything else, would you mind sending the full JSON through the validator?

#

!json

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.

thanks and sorry in advance for the heft of the document

#

Things gradually driving me insane since I can't seem to record my screen ingame properly: Female farmer legs. I have black pants on. I realized the pants do not cover all the pixels of my legs at every point in the animation

latent mauve
#

Still parsing through the code

ornate locust
#

but I can't read the pants sheet well enough to figure out where pixels need to be added, and without a recording, I can't quite figure out where pixels need to be added anyway

#

why are you like this, default lady farmer pants

latent mauve
#

Pants are Cursed

ornate locust
#

hm, I guess I could grab the vanilla sheet and layer it over the farmer sheet. I was working with a FS sheet and that's apparently laid out differently. that might actually show me where the overlap is though

latent mauve
#

Yeah, the FS sheet confused me too badly when I tried to do the same templating.

ornate locust
#

Pants are cursed, I can't unsee these pixels. One frame in walking has a crotch pixel sticking out

#

it's like one frame in fishing, a couple frames in walking

latent mauve
#

Walking or Running?

#

That does matter

ornate locust
#

uh, whatever I do to get around every day?

tiny zealot
#

default movement is running (just WASD). if you hold Shift you'll walk and it's even slower

ornate locust
#

Running then

#

Oh I was not prepared to open the pants image

tiny zealot
#

rip to another modder discovering pants /lh

ornate locust
#

oh i see why everyone says pants are cursed, pants are cursed

latent mauve
#

This is why I included a preview under the file link xD

#

Pants are Very Cursed

ornate locust
#

why are ALL THE PANTS in here, I can't tell which pants are which

#

Is it just the first one or are they different for the femme body

latent mauve
#

which program are you using?

#

My Krita file should have just one pair of pants in it on a separated layer and I think someone converted it to a PSD at some point

ornate locust
#

oh I think it's the second one

#

I don't happen to have Krita. But I need the female pants anyway. I was looking at the actual game file to see

latent mauve
#

ok

ornate locust
#

Yeah it's the second one. OKAY I have it and I can see the pixels

latent mauve
#

Yep, now just find that frame in the FS template and fix it up

ornate locust
#

oh man this is much better, thanks for the idea. I don't know why I didn't think of this

#

got my brain stuck in one problem solving mode

latent mauve
#

I see the one that's 2 over to the right of it as well with a missing pixel. xD

ornate locust
#

oh yeah a bunch of these are. The one with arrows is just the one that I saw first and is thus my Nemesis

Bad spelling will end up killing modders just from the stress i think

I was gonna blame SMAPI for an issue that seemed nonsensical, turns out i was just being silly and spelled received incorrectly

It should know what i mean when i spell it recieved actually SDVitemblobfish

Sadly same error still 🙁

I've managed to make my NPC invisible for a set amount of horus, issue now is that when he gets set to visible again, he will not go back to following any sort of schedule hrm.... He just stands there

brittle pasture
#

and you reloaded the mod?

junior tiger
elfin kindle
# junior tiger Sadly same error still 🙁

I ended up having warp tiles added both through TilesData (the pictures thingies), and on map data AND added through my scripting. You can try adding a TileData and see if that helps? And make sure to put it on the Back layer (of the purple iconed layers!)

image.png
#

I am also a beginner though, i just had a similar issue and this fixed it

brittle pasture
#

and same error in log? stupid question but did you also try reloading the game (schedule is decided on day start)

junior tiger
brittle pasture
#

oh did you also fix the uncapitalized b in the interior

#

I'm assuming the map goes "Forest" > "Interior" > "Basement"

junior tiger
junior tiger
junior tiger
#

You are a real saint

#

It worked :3

#

In general though, can an NPC go through 2 warps? Because I'd like for him to go though the livingroom and then the basement instead of just disappearing and showing up in the basement

brittle pasture
#

they should be able to

junior tiger
#

I'm testing it rn, lets see 🙂

#

ugh, now I can't warp out of the basement 😭

elfin kindle
#

Do you have a datatile in there too or map property?

junior tiger
#

I do

elfin kindle
#

Funky

junior tiger
#

So, I can walk into the house and into the basement, but when I want to walk out of the basement it says "Living room couldn't be loaded or found"

#

I put a warp on the tile data and in the map properties

elfin kindle
#

huh... never had that issue before i cant help there SDVpufferwaaah

#

Right layer? SDVpetcatsad

junior tiger
#

I didn't have the issue either before I added the npc warp :/

#

Should be, hold on

elfin kindle
#

Hm yeah no clue, i haven't needed to go from one custom map to another so this is outta my depth SDVpetcatsad But you probs wanna post your .json logs where the custom map stuff is stored, cus it sounds like it might be something in there then

junior tiger
#

I did send in all my tmx files, but I don't think it's a json issue, since it worked before I added the npc warp 🥺

#

but you did get me one step closer, so a huge thanks still 😊

elfin kindle
#

Fair fair, probs then but yeah got no clue what to do from here lol And no problem! ^^

!log @junior tiger can you share your log, and your json if it contains any patches that affect warps?

ocean sailBOT

Important note: Your computer username may appear in the log. If your username is your full name, please be aware of this before uploading it.

Please share your SMAPI log file. To do so:

  1. Open this page: smapi.io/log.
  2. Follow the instructions at the top of the page to upload the log file. (Don't copy & paste from the console window!)
  3. After uploading, it will show a green box with a URL to share. Post that URL here.

Please do it even if you don't see any errors. This has useful info like what mods and versions you have, what the mods are doing, etc. If the issue didn’t occur in your last session, please load the game to the point where the issue occurs, then upload the log.

To use this command, type !log.
junior tiger
#

I managed to fix it

#

Even though it doesn't quite make sense

urban patrol
#

both you and your NPC can warp from forest >interior >basement?

junior tiger
#

yup

urban patrol
#

okay great

#

you shouldn’t need both map property Warp and tile data warp but if it works it works

latent mauve
#

This wasn't a patch using an EditMap, right?

junior tiger
#

Thing that confuses me is, if I warp from the outside to the inside then CustosLivingroom works, but if I want to warp from the basement to the livingroom I have to use CustosHouse?

latent mauve
#

(I missed most of the discussion, but I do remember that Map Properties do not carry over through EditMap actions from a TMX, you have to add Map Properties seperately through code if patching to a map that doesn't have the new map properties on it)

junior tiger
latent mauve
#

If you do patch export on your basement map, what does it show for the Warp map property?

junior tiger
#

patch export?

iron ridge
#

!patchexport

ocean sailBOT
#

A patch export makes a copy of specific stuff in your content folder so you can see what changes have been applied.

  1. Load up a save (with Content Patcher installed)
  2. Type patch export <FILEPATHOFTHING> in the SMAPI console and hit return
  3. Look in your patch export folder in the game folder for the relevant json file or image
  4. If it's a json file, you can share it via smapi.io/json. If it's an image you should just be able to look at it.
To use this command, type !patchexport.

you need the map asset name

#

I’m on my ipad so I can’t open up your rar file to check what that is

junior tiger

it needs to be whatever target you loaded your map to

#

no file extension

junior tiger
#

so the forest map? That's where the house is

urban patrol
#

i thought the issue was with your basement

junior tiger
#

It is, so I'll just let it spit out custos-basement? Without the tmx

urban patrol

yes, whatever target you loaded your basement map to

probably something like Maps/custos-basement but idk

I can't think of way to make MakeNPCInvisible as an action trigger work for what I want to do, so im gonna look and see if you can make warps that the NPC's can use but not players...

hey selph since you are here, can i set glow colors to specific animal skins?

green elm

Sorry to interrupt the discussion! I'm not sure if my question belongs in this channel, but I figured you folks are the most technically apt when it comes to game internals. How would I flag my save to say slimes can drops eggs, without actually building any slime hutches?
