you can also just open Data/CraftingRecipes and see how many lines there are

rigid musk
#

that...

#

why did i not think of either of these things

#

i always do this to myself

fervent horizon
#

looks like 150

#

Where can I find the "Good night, dear" line that your spouse says in a speech balloon while in bed at night? Doesn't seem to be in any files in /Data or /Strings

hard fern
timid onyx
#

Are you sure? I thought it was part of the additional 1.6 spouse interactions like making them jump when you interact with them from behind

#

There's also a line akin to something like "Aren't you coming to bed, dear?"

#

I did experience these in a modded game but I do not think my dialogue mods would go out of the way to add C# interactions like that

ornate trellis
#

never heard of those before the only stuff I know is the general marriage dialogue

#

Awesome, thank you

hard fern
#

🤔 huh the more you know

brittle pasture
#

I saw those lines and I played like an avg of 2 hours per month smh my head

umbral plume
#

pst hey @gentle rose real quick; the animated portraits mod-i should make all the frames on the same sheet right? not as seperate files?

whole raptor
#

I'm actually kinda curious how the sheet looks like for animated portraits SDVpufferthinkblob

umbral plume
#

(although 64 pixels is tiny so i wanna make mine bigger like 192 but i dunno if thatll mess it up....?)

whole raptor
#

If we're talking about Iro's new framework, then it does support HD portraits

lucid iron
#

New hd portrait framework has layers so you can have eyes separate from mouth and so on

umbral plume
#

im just not entirely sure how im going to make sure i draw them aligned and not like a pixel off cause that would major suck

gentle rose
umbral plume
gentle rose
#

dw about it, it's all good! (though some people prefer to be asked about being DMed so it's usually best to ask in server, you'd be amazed how many spam DMs some people get)

umbral plume
gentle rose
#

you draw the entire portrait sheet in a single frame, then the entire portrait sheet for the next frame in a new file, etc etc

umbral plume
#

i used to make them seperate files because krita but the vanilla and your for modders thingy has it all on one big sheet so i wasnt sure which was the best to work with

gentle rose
#

so the things all in one sheet are the different emotions, not different frames

calm nebula
#

38

gentle rose
#

so the top left is portrait 0 (neutral? maybe?), top right is portrait 1 (happy? iirc?), etc etc

umbral plume
#

ohhhh like those strip photos from photo booths

gentle rose
#

exactly!

#

so each frame is built like that, so frame 1 has frame 1 of each portrait

umbral plume
#

okay so the first colomn is frame 1 of each emotion is one file, then the next colomn is frame 2 of each emotion is a second file and so on

gentle rose
#

not quite, there are always two columns and they're just more emotions

#

it goes

0 1
2 3
4 5
6 7

for most vanilla portrait sheets

#

but you can have over a hundred if you want (guess how we know...)

umbral plume
#

and lastly: does each portrait have to be 64 pixels cause thats tiny

brittle pasture
#

yes*
*there's a few HD portraits frameworks out there, including iro's one but tbh I'd recommend just working with 64x64 like mr ape intended

gentle rose
#

in vanilla yes, in my framework no

umbral plume
hard fern
#

🤔 so if i put this in the "Items" field in a shop entry, would it only sell items that have the specified context tag, and only on mondays?

                            "ItemId": "RANDOM_ITEMS (O)",
                            "PerItemCondition": "ITEM_CONTEXT_TAG Target {{ModId}}_hereismycontexttag",
                            "Condition": "DAY_OF_WEEK Mon"
                        }```
shut edge
#

hmm

umbral plume
#

its cool if theres no answer for this one but anyone got any advice to keep the portraits lined up so theyre not like a pixel off and i have to readjust them one by one? i wonder if i can use onion skins without using multiple frames in krita?

hard fern
#

use an editor with a grid

brittle pasture
#

(krita is one of those)

umbral plume
#

krita does so i should probably just line up the shoulders or whatever with the grid then ii guess

brittle pasture
hard fern
#

gotcha

umbral plume
#

or i could use onion skins and then just delete the extra before finalizing it lol

#

anyway THANKS YALL i love this community so much yall are so damn helpful

umbral plume
#

I DONT HAVE ANY PENS THAT CAN DRAW SUCH SMALL PIXELS SDVpufferwaaah

lucid iron
#

Pencil tool at 1px?

umbral plume
#

HOW DID MR APE MAKE ART SO TINY

brittle pasture
#

with pixel art you're going to be primarily dropping pixels one by one

#

at the scale SDV uses

gentle rose
#

apparently krita has some built in brushes specifically for pixel art

hard fern
#

i think i messed up lol.

are these strings not LocalizedText or .

ah i see it

#

wuoops

brittle pasture
#

though from the screenshots you may be missing the Strings/ part of Strings/1_6_Strings

#

yep lol

#

also : is the separator between the asset and the key, not another slash

hard fern
#

im also missing the closing bracket lol

#

you know what.

#

i was copying my mod

#

where i did it correctly

#

how did i fuck it up like this???

#

nice now my shop menu crashes when i turn my config on.

Suggested fixes: One or more mods are out of date, consider updating them

brittle pasture
hard fern
#

i already fixed that

brittle pasture
#

ah I still see it in the logs so
probably not causing the crash though

hard fern
#

the error is at the very bottom

#

sorry it's cuz i patch reloaded a bunch of times

brittle pasture
#

looks like the error's coming from your recipe edits

hard fern
#

hm

#

im noticing it explodes and dies when i get to the cake

brittle pasture
#

(side note, your shop data is fine, but to limit confusion for yourself you should probably make the key and the Id field the same)

hard fern
#

it;s my recipes

brittle pasture
#

just in case can you post the main content file where you're defining those tokens

hard fern
brittle pasture
#

MUSH is missing the quantity for the last item

hard fern
#

ah crap

#

thx

#

SDVpuffersweats nope

#

still crash

#

same error

brittle pasture
#

what the new log says

#

(the error is caused by the recipe having two ingredients with the same ID)

#

(previously it failed because your missing number causes some recipes to be parsed as having multiple ingredients with the ID 1 instead of 1 being the quantity)

#

your Shrimp Donut recipe is missing a number

#

and Warrior Smoothie

hard fern
#

ugh im going to explode

#

i did fix the smoothie one

#

ok im gonna give up for now

#

i need to be places

#

ok nvm i dont need to be places

#

i still missed one somehow

#

wait can you not patch reload dynamic tokens or something

brittle pasture
#

yeah it doesnt

shut edge
#

looks like the issues i was getting with livestock bazaar are because it didn't like my animals being different dimensions

#

which isn't a surprise or problem really

indigo yoke
#

hmmm. might be out of scope but I wonder if CJB Item Spawner could read all the monster data and generate a spawn egg for each of the monsters.

So while testing mods there are faster ways to just grab and test the baddies.

shut edge
#

debug ws marnie

#

helps a lot

brittle pasture
#

there were talks some time ago about CJB Item Spawner exposing an API so we can register custom spawns

doublecheck with the wiki

ugh

#

so

#

sigh

#

thank you selph

#

i have to go fix like roughtly 3 mods now

#

hm nope it still doesn't work

#

wait what

brittle pasture
#

you didnt change it?

hard fern
#

sorry i parsed the wrong file

#

sorry i managed to misplace my entire mod???

it went to the shadow realm

doesn't the game come with that dll

just checked my install folder

Oh, it seems like it does

interesting. Version incompatiblity, maybe?

Can I add more furniture textures to an existing AT furniture mod by just dragging a new one in the textures folder? or is it more complicated than that?
ie. a mod author that made 2 at furniture packs removed them from nexus and combined and reuploaded them on kofi, only thing is they also condensed and got rid of some texture I liked but I was wondering if I just drag some of those old textures into the new file if it will work?

The game comes with the 6.0 version of it, but my mod requires >=8.0

I wonder how I can fix that....

gentle rose
glossy cargo
#

it's mine. I'm creating a new mod. Trying to launch the barebones version of it

#

I can do any trial and error anyone would suggest

#

but I believe Selph's intuition was very correct, and it's a conflict between the two versions. No clue how to fix it though

royal stump
#

I vaguely recall that being a persistent limitation of SMAPI's loading process, but Pathos or somebody who develops it would know better than me

#

the only real workaround I know myself is recreating the necessary bits in your own code base

No clue, it's an indirect dependency

Hm yeah i was gonna say what if u change hint path but no clue how to do that for a nuget

*change hint path so that it just grabs the 6.0 from game

uncut viper
#

i wonder why its even trying to pull v9.0.0.0 of that assembly because when lookin at the repo, it seems like NET 6 support was only dropped 2 weeks ago for Discord.Net... but that wouldnt be in the latest stable release yet

and the timestamps of your dlls there also indicate its using the version from july, which is before they dropped net6 support

hi there, so, i'm making a fashion sense mod and for now i made a ribbon, already made all the sprites (such as the front, back, etc) but for some reason whenever i wear it in-game, the ribbon will not show the different angles i made for it, instead it shows the same sprite over and over, but a bit cropped on the sides. could someone please help me? this is the json file in case it is needed.
https://smapi.io/json/none/269b7947e33642618e644007cd0a7d08

#

oh, and by the way; in case this is also needed, the whole image size is 24x76, while the sprite itself is 24x12

vernal crest
fickle lichen
#

oh, and by the way; today i've been testing out some of the tips you gave me, and there has been some pretty great progress; the ribbon shows up in the game! :p

vernal crest
#

Yeah that sounds like a good plan. A hint for what will help: open your ribbon png in your art program and find the pixel co-ordinates for the top left of each view

fickle lichen
#

what do you exactly mean by finding the pixel co-ordinates for each view? :>

#

sorry, i'm a bit slow lol

#

you mean finding out how many pixels does the sprite have?

#

....okay, i just tested out the ribbon in the game, and apparently changing the starting position numbers worked, but for some reason the sprite looks... cropped? i don't know how to explain it, but it just doesn't appear fully

hard fern

#

FWIW, I managed to downgrade Discord.Net to a version from 2 years ago, that used the same dll as Stardew does, and it worked. The library still seems to work with Discord for my purposes, so I think I'll be okay

fickle lichen
#

uhhh

#

i'm not sure about what do you mean

#

you mean the starting position?

hard fern
#

umm

#

maybe?

#

if you set the thing to be a siz

#

but didnt adjust the starting position

#

it'll be like.

#

#

maybe im too tired for this my brain is kinda frying

#

one sec

#

like.. ur hatsize

#

im looking at the github page rn

#

in the hat template example, where it has all of this stuff

image.png
fickle lichen
#

alright so the hatsize is 24x12 for the front, 14x12 for the right, 14x12 for the left, and 24x12 for the back

hard fern
#

you might have to adjust the starting position then

fickle lichen
#

hmm..

hard fern
#

bc i think it starts counting at the top left, but since you have gaps on both sides, it stops before it gets to the actual edge of your hat

fickle lichen
#

eh, i'll continue working with this tomorrow, i'm pretty tired rn

#

goodnight!

#

Hey everyonne

#

Quick question

#

On Nexus, when you download a mod

#

How can you remove the super long random characters they give with it?

#

"Aquatic Sea Fish 1.0.2-38752-1-0-2-1761705112.zip"

#

It gets very annoying to see it, is this a bug with Nexus? Everything gets zipped normally, so I'm very confused

tiny zealot
#

it's not a bug. it's just how nexus assigns filenames

soft lance
devout otter
#

You can't. That's how Nexus index their filename. So what you do is pack your mod in another folder and hope that user will use that instead of your zip name.

soft lance
vernal crest
#

Yeah as long as people aren't unzipping by letting Windows give it a new folder with a name taken from the zip (in which case they will get a doubled folder) then it doesn't matter what the zip is called. And if they are, that's their problem lol

vernal crest
soft lance
#

Lol, I just realized my mod had no update keys, just added them...my mod has been out for a week...hopefully this wasnt too big of an issue..I mean v.1.0-1.0.1 has very minor bugs, so hopefully people on those versions know when to update, im shocked i never caught it till now lol

solid apex
#

are there links with an updated way to create maps? I wanted to create a sign that then teleports to the custom map/house, so I can make it more compatible with extensions mods. I downloaded Tiled, unpacked the Content folder, but I don't know ehere to go from hereSDVconcernedCA

vernal crest
solid apex
#

thank you

faint ingot
#

So... I am planting an idea in my head for a future mod, and it has me wondering: Is Yoba translated differently in other languages, or is it fairly universally just "Yoba"?

royal stump
#

I can't read all of them, but it's directly pronounced "yoba" in the majority (that is, in everything I can read)

hard fern
#

Yeah, that's what i gathered too. I checked about 7 or so language files

#

7 different languages

drowsy pewter
#

I can confirm its yoba in english

royal stump
#

the least literal one I can see is Иобы, which I guess would read like "ioby"

faint ingot
#

works for me thank you

#

While you're around, I have a question that I think is about FTM? Is it normal for an outdoor FTM area to spawn wood debris, it's not a big deal but I'd rather it didn't.

#

I'm redoing one of my maps anyway and it would be a good time to change that if possible

royal stump
#

FTM just spawns the things each pack tells it to, so that shouldn't happen unnecessarily
it doesn't stop base game spawns, though, so that'll happen if the game would normally do it

#

(I don't recall how sticks and such work normally, though, aside from the farm always spawning them)

calm nebula
#

Sticks and stones can break my bones but

dusky sail
faint ingot
#

Maybe it's unrelated to FTM but I couldn't find map settings that were helpful

vernal crest
#

Did you start your map by copying from vanilla?

faint ingot
#

To be honest I don't remember that's certainly possible

#

I do see some things like this in the TMX is that the source of the problem? <tile id="314"> <properties> <property name="Type" value="Wood"/> </properties> </tile>

royal stump
#

so as far as I know:
a) the forage in Data/Locations -> "Forage" could do that
b) any outdoor location will have weeds/twigs/stones appear, though it's much less common than on the farm/islandwest unless you intentionally set some map properties (e.g. "SpawnDebrisOnNewMonth")

#

that said, the map property skipWeedGrowth should turn "B" off entirely

#

but as far as FTM goes, it won't add twigs unless you intentionally spawn "Twig" or 294, etc

faint ingot
#

OK, thank you for the info I will tinker with those settings, and forgive me for thinking this was FTM's doing!

versed wyvern
#

Could I get a quick explanation to clarify how the "Priority" field works for Edit patches? Content Patcher's docs for Edit-type actions says that patches are first applied by priority, then by load order, then by the order they're written in the json, so that means an action with any priority specified will effectively cut in line for load order?

drowsy pewter
#

yes correct

#

load order is the order of each mod in the mod list, but priority will jump past that

#

So you can have patches that both take place before and after another mod's patches, if you need to control it in that detail

royal stump
#

tbc, the default priority of an edit is 0, so just specifying one at all doesn't mean you go first

versed wyvern
#

Hmm, so that confuses me

drowsy pewter
#

Whats your usecase?

#

We can help you choose a best course

versed wyvern
#

Okay, so... say Mod A loads a custom character, and Mod B which loads after Mod A contains edits to that character.
Reading the docs I was led to believe that if Mod B adds Priority fields to the edits they would then ignore the load order and jump ahead of Mod A, which sounded like that would break things
Esca just clarified that even without a specified priority they are considered Priority 0, so actually both actions are ignoring load order, it's just that if we don't specify priority then they have the same priority and it defers to load order to decide what goes first?

drowsy pewter
#

Without priority they will follow load order yes

#

In this case I would suggest that Mod B add a dependency (full dependency or false dependency) to the manifest to ensure it loads second

royal stump
#

loads happen before any edits, so unless Mod A is doing actual edits, it may be a moot point

drowsy pewter
#

also a prudent point haha

royal stump
#

but the main thing with priority is that all edits that don't specify a priority still have "Priority": "Default" internally

versed wyvern
#

Okay, I think that all makes sense, I was just confused about how it sounded like the priority field existing at all was making things cut in line

drowsy pewter
#

So if Mod B adds Priority Early, it will cut ahead and break stuff. But if it adds Priority Late it wouldnt, it would come second. It just would be slightly better to depend on load order for this type of thing.

#

Priority is to control mod patch order, not to always cut in front. A lot of times you want to cut behind

royal stump
#

yeah, the common use is just "oh my basic edit is getting overwritten by something" -> add "Priority": "Late"

#

SDVpuffernerd a quick reference, assuming I didn't get lost somewhere

image.png
drowsy pewter
#

I feel like I'm in class

versed wyvern
#

I got here in the first place trying to research some kind of mod conflict involving patch order but I think this means Priority isn't the source of the issue at all and I'm in over my head henyaDerp

drowsy pewter
#

if you want to explain the conflict we can help

devout otter
#

Sorry to interject a bit. But I feel like I need to point out another Priority behaviour: if this is a Load and not an Edit, then the priority is Exclusive if not specified, not Default.

#

You can't have two mods Loading the same asset with an Exclusive priority.

#

And if one of them is Exclusive, it would override any other priority.

versed wyvern
# drowsy pewter if you want to explain the conflict we can help

Might be a bit tricky because the problems aren't from my own mods, just something that was reported to me regarding their dependencies
I'm using Scale Up Unofficial, an update to Platonymous' Scale Up mod using open source code, for one of my mods, and a user mentioned that SUU resulted in an error with another mod's EditImage actions that resulted in System.InvalidCastException: Can't replace loaded asset of type ScaleUpUnofficial.ReplacedTexture with value of type Texture2D. The new type must be compatible to prevent game errors.
The EditImage actions in question had Late+ priorities set and removing them also removed the error, and the error also did not appear with Early priority. So my assumption was that somehow adding the priority field was causing the patch action to step behind something it shouldn't be, but from what you folks just explained to me that shouldn't be possible because that's not how Priority works, right?

So from there just leaves me thinking that maybe it's just a bug with SUU if a mod contains a Late priority Edit, but my attempt to reproduce such an error in my own mods didn't break anything so right now I'm just confuse trying to find something to report to the author WarShrug

drowsy pewter
#

If scale up is involved it's a different thing altogether

versed wyvern
#

My guess had been that adding a priority field somehow causes Edit actions to interact with Scale Up in the wrong order

#

But that sounds like that shouldn't be possible

drowsy pewter
#

I mean it's a pre-1.6 unofficial update C# mod getting involved in load order, it could be anything from an issue with the load order itself to with the C# mod's unofficial update

#

So idk how helpful we could be

royal stump
#

yeah, it's not so much a CP/priority choice issue there as Scale Up being incompatible with something (e.g. it might assume all edits are Late or earlier)

versed wyvern
#

Aye, I was just trying to figure out how I could make a bug report to the author but I can't... actually break anything in the same way so far rosedopHuh

devout otter
#

So the order of patch is like. You have a Load on your asset using SUU, then another mod does EditImage on that asset using Late priority?

versed wyvern
#

Nah, the assets were from completely unrelated mods but SUU has to patch into the sprite code and it appeared as if the priority field was causing something to break with basic Content Patcher functionality

#

So my questions about how Priority worked ruled out my assumption that it was causing the actions to jump ahead of the load order, and this must just be a bug with SUU that I should figure out how to reproduce before reporting

I am confused on why they are so far apart.
The debug code says

[Wizardry] The player position is {X:480.5559 Y:578.1362}

If I use temporary animated sprites it works.

Does the draw spritebatch have a different ... hmmmm. I think I might know the issue.

Hi! Who knows which file in the game is responsible for the character’s sprite specifically in the gift log? Because the sprite has been replaced everywhere else, but not in the gift log.

vernal crest
#

Their base sprite at Characters/<NPC Name>. Changes to their sprite using Appearance don't get reflected in the Gift Log.

#

it will only show abigail.xnb in the gift log in winter as aba mentioned

If your change for that asset is turned off in winter, it will show the vanilla art

You might need to adjust it in the settings to turn tile data info on. I haven't used it in "player" mode for so long I don't remember what it shows lol

# vernal crest !json Can you share a link to your json, please?

I wasn’t paying close attention—while learning how Content Patcher works, I had set a “When:” condition and specified the season. Later I learned that this isn’t actually necessary, since the file is replaced based on the original file’s name, but I forgot to update this in content.json. 😅

Thanks for pointing that out.

I just wanted to make green fall for earthy recolor. I begun with just replacing the fall_outdoorsTileSheet and all fall tilesheets with their spring counterparts. They layer perfectly onto each other, have the same resolution of 400x1268, but when I replace the fall_outdoorsTileSheet it just leaves those weird spots

vernal crest
#

Are you accounting for SVE's additional tilesheets?

tiny zealot
jaunty moat
vernal crest
#

Also check the fall_outdoorsTileSheet2 like ichor said

jaunty moat
#

yeah, I checked it out as well

#

Lookup Anything clearly says that the tile is from fall_outdoorsTileSheet and I even found the individual tiles on the sheet

#

And they're recolored

#

I'll see maybe some other mod is overriding it

vernal crest
#

Yeah you can check your log

#

If you upload it to the log parser and then click the Trace button and search fall_outdoors it will show you all of the mods editing those tilesheets and in what order

jaunty moat

is this correct? also want it to be easily legible, lmk if it isn't!
An NPC's named file in <samp>Characters\Dialogue</samp> contains most of their dialogue. The game will select dialogue from one of the sections below, in the order shown. This means keys listed earlier in each table are checked first (and thus have higher priority), but note that some keys only apply in certain circumstances or have a random chance to be chosen, in which case lower-priority entries may appear.

#

for a wiki entry! this is the og line:
An NPC's named file in Character\Dialogue contains most of their dialogue. The game will choose dialogue from one of the sections below, in the order shown here.

i want krobus and dwarf to break into the basement and get attacked by the demon shorts-

#

if I'm gonna traumatize them i owe them some cute fun events LOL

tiny zealot
#

i don't know anything about how that area is set up but i assume the shorts are hardcoded in an annoying way, so my expectation is

  • you won't be able to stop the shorts from spawning
  • you won't be able to control what they do

@simple girder Hi, I'm planning to update my Enchanted Ceremony mod soon-ish (probably) and I saw lots of people wanted to see Fleurine as a wedding guest. Would you mind if she participated if your mod is installed?

dire kestrel
# fickle lichen yes

not sure what's going on there then SDVpetchickensanta it should output something, even if no foreign packs are loaded

unreal spoke
#

Make sure you didn’t accidentally uninstall Console Commands. That might potentially be the problem.

uncut viper
#

Console Commands is not required as the debug prefix is not required

#

Console Commands adds a command prefix debug for running the vanilla debug commands but fs_reload is Fashion Sense's own thing and you would just type fs_reload

same reason you dont need to type debug patch reload ModId for CP mods

Do NPCs have a conversation topic about player getting married? SDVpufferthinkblob

uncut viper
#

yes, married_<Spouse Name>

#

as well as the generic married

#

if you've already been married once before you even get married_twice (instead of married, it wont reset that one)

#

the spouse-specific one will happen every time as long as you get married to a different person every time or divorce them but the others only happen once

whole raptor
#

Oh, so I wouldn't even need to add a topic, I could just add a dialogue with a key for a specific spouse? Neat

uncut viper
#

you can yeah

#

there's also roommates_<Spouse Name>

(there is no generic roommates or roommates_twice)

these all do still last the default 4 days though so if you wanted longer thatd be good reason for your own topic i suppose

I am not home so I can't check the unpacked data atm but an idea popped in my head and I am super curious about it:

Can locations have custom tags like items?

royal stump

GameLocation has modData you can use, though not really tags as such

#

that and map properties, I suppose

hallow prism
#

there is a location context too, but i don't think locations can have several of those

indigo yoke

most data entities in game has CustomFields really (aside from the string ones that we're all praying 1.7 kill someday)

autumn tide

hmmmmmmmm

indigo yoke
autumn tide
#

hey! got questions about advancedMove, for a loop, does stopAdvancedMoves immediately stop the character from moving or does it wait until the sequence is over?

royal stump
#

I'm not familiar with the feature, but you could probably choose a field ID to check for it, then set the field's value for known vanilla/etc locations

#

e.g. via mod data, location.modData["modID_SomeTagID"] = "true";
or if several tags would be involved, location.modData["modID_Tags"] = "some_tag, some_other_tag";

#

one of the CP-accessible things would be better if mod authors are intended to add them

for ref, both Data/Locations and Data/LocationContexts entries have a field like this at the bottom:

Thank God for NamingMenu

I finally learned exactly how ctrl+left/right in most programs worked after carefully examining it

#

I never thought I'd learn that

next plaza
#

What all was I doing?

  • Movable caret instead of always at the end
  • Delete key support added (with behavior as expected)
  • Using the mouse
  • Selecting text, both with cursor and arrow keys+shift
  • Using ctrl to traverse words in a way you'd expect from any other program
  • Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, and Ctrl+X all work as well (+Ctrl+V working as expected with selections involved)
#

The part I stopped at was getting text to scroll if it was longer than the text box... but after I stopped from getting annoyed, I realized vanilla doesn't allow text longer than the text box anyways

gaunt orbit
#

I think I did scrolling in my search box?

next plaza
#

Ah, but did you have caret movement and selection? That makes it much trickier

gaunt orbit
#

Though it's primitive and just takes the last n characters of the string

#

Yeah it's not that advanced

#

Though I did add right-click to clear, partly because it's more efficient but mostly because I developed that reflex from years of tmi/nei/jei/emi searching

next plaza
#

Honestly if I skip the text scrolling part, it's probably very close to ready

next plaza
#

I'd always use ctrl+a + delete/backspace

#

(In general, not sure if the MC mods work with that)

gaunt orbit
#

Some of them support it

brave fable

it's all for nothing if your text input doesn't support ctrl+backspace and ctrl+delete

the right click clear is vital to me thats why i added that to searchable collections page

Seriously, it was basically everything you'd expect from a normal textbox excluding right stuff (unless I'm forgetting something)

Before I go get lost in the decompile, does anyone know how the game determines that the slime hutch troughs are valid to water?

uncut viper

public override bool performToolAction(Tool t, int tileX, int tileY)

  if (t is WateringCan && tileX == 16 && tileY >= 6 && tileY <= 9)
  {
    this.waterSpots[tileY - 6] = true;
  }
  return false;
}
#

in SlimeHutch.cs

vernal crest
#

Oh darn it's based on actual tile coords? Well, poop. Thank you for finding it so speedily for me though!

uncut viper
#

it does a similar check for sprinklers on dayupdate

vernal crest
#

Hmm the monster hutch framework hutch interior is way bigger than that, it must change it

uncut viper
#

it does patch a bunch of hutch functions

vernal crest
uncut viper
#

i think thats just making every spot waterable

#

idk the reasoning exactly for multiplying the coordinates but i think it just means no matter where you water itll mark it as watered in some way and then its own WaterSpot detection function at the bottom is used in place of the vanilla check for whether or not something is a water spot

#

which will account for the spot you watered

vernal crest
#

My guess is that it's using the tile id to determine if it's a water spot?

uncut viper
#

i meant like there are other ways they couldve kept track and idk why they chose this way specifically

#

the watering can check isnt checking anything besides that it is a watering can

#

if its a watering can then the tile you watered WILL be marked watered

#

no matter where the tile is

vernal crest
#

So I could just water the floor and even though it doesn't change texture it will count?

#

Huh

uncut viper

probably? idk i didnt feel like looking at the giant DayUpdate prefix up above im just goin off the bottom 3 functions

It sounds like they are slightly more background thread than stardew but not too much

calm nebula
#

Stardew does request gen 0 gc every time you leave one map and go to another

spice anchor
#

Oh I'm dumb xD

calm nebula
#

Easy enough to test the every frame thing

lucid mulch
#

Yes, this is a largely single threaded application. We utilise background threads for some computation, but normally do not allocate on those threads. Game developers are always happy to trade lower main thread time for higher overall CPU usage, because most games are inherently hard to parallelise.

#

In a similar manner, doing GC's more frequently means higher overall GC time, but lower individual GC time. Since games care primarily about their frame budget, a shorter GC that runs every frame is preferable to a longer GC that runs periodically (especially if we have no control over when it runs).

calm nebula
#

Why is it so much faster

lucid mulch
#

Satori GC has classic Dijkstra-style write barries, so throughput is comparable to the default CoreCLR GC. Everything allocation-sensitive gets eventually limited by how fast you zero-out memory, so this is unsurprising.

Satori GC has a generational incremental concurrent GC design. All major GC phases that are proportional to the heap size run concurrently with the application threads. That is - all except compaction, which would require read barrier to run concurrently. But compaction is just an optional thing that GC can do, but does not have to. Native allocators do not compact and do just fine. Some other GCs (i.e. Go lang GC*) do not compact either.

In LowLatency mode Satori GC turns off compaction. That may trade a slightly larger heap for better latency guarantees, 0% - 30%, depends on workload..
In rare cases you may even see a reduction in heap size as collections happen faster or if compaction was not very useful. Like in some ASP.Net scenarios where except for a small resident set everything dies after request is over - so why compact what soon will be garbage? (it is hard for GC to know this though without some longer-term history/statistics)
https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/discussions/115627#discussioncomment-13162705

calm nebula
#

Still, you should be able to very easily benchmark "running gen 0 every frame" SDVpufferthinkblob

#

Nice, thanks!

lucid mulch
#

The main result that has been verified is that Satori is less kind to low memory devices than the traditional workstation GC, but in intermediate/high memory, it gets much better latency performance

calm nebula
#

RAM is cheap

gaunt orbit

Monogame itself is single-threaded, which makes multithreading any game built on it very difficult

#

And Terraria is very much not designed for multithreading

....although tbh just....if I strongly care about gc latency I would be in Rust

Hello, I'm trying to add my boots with content patcher. I've read wiki guide(https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Boots). I noticed that there's a boot color option. To make my shoes look blue, I create a 1*1 texture with a blue pixel and set the color sheet index to 0 with corresponding color texture, but the shoes color didn't change at all, what am i doing wrong?

calm nebula
#

Esp if game consoles pack their own gc

#

Game frameworks

#

Unity

#

I forgot...check the base game but I recall 4 pixels

unity eventually is going to be CoreCLR and then would care about modern advancements in GC

Btw, I used gpt5 to help me debug my cp pack, it gave me the following code:

{
  "Action": "EditData",
  "Target": "Data/Boots",
  "Entries": {
    "200": { 
      "Name": "Magic Boots",
      "DisplayName": "Magic Boots",

      "Price": 1000,
      "Appearance": 6,
      "IndexInColorSheet": -1
    }
  }
}

But in the wiki, each entry is a simple text instead of a well-structured json (like "Name/Desc/Price/.../..."). Does content patcher support editing boot data like this?

What is a context tag? Is it able to determine game logic, or just used for categorization?(Im quite new to sdv modding)

brittle pasture
#

both
some machines/shops/etc. may choose to interact with every item of a certain context tag instead of specific item IDs

#

you can define any tag you want and attach them to any items you want

Like a component in unity?

I guess? though context tags by themselves do not define any behavior

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.

also in your C# code you need to turn {{ModId}} into your CP component's mod ID

the substitution in the CP component is done by CP itself, in your C# code you need to do it manually

got it.
this is wacky... uh run patch export Data/Quest, check the file it generates and see if your quest shows up? but make sure to restart the game and reapply all you code changes just in case

cloud condor

thanks for all the help btw. this quest thing has been bothering me for a few days now

#

Is your mod set to the old version of the game? I don't remember but maybe there's a change of quest format before and after 1.6...

brittle pasture
#

nah quest data is still the good ol string format in 1.6

cloud condor
#

so when i tried to run that command it says its asking for arguments as if it didnt read Data/Quest

brittle pasture
#

whoops I had a typo, should be patch export Data/Quests

#

hmm wait a second, your log is complaining that your content pack is not updated for 1.6 even though the json you posted has format version 2.8.0

#

try making sure that the file you're editing is actually the file that's being loaded by the game?

vernal crest

Nice catch

cloud condor
#

alright i did forget to put the new folder from my git into mods

issue do still be there though

#

and now when i try to leave the house after activating the quest I get an endless error

brittle pasture
#

did you apply the {{ModId}} fix I suggested

cloud condor
#

boutta facepalm myself

#

how do i apply that fix exactly

brittle pasture
#

in your C# code, replace {{ModId}} with the ID in the CP component's manifest

cloud condor
#

for replacing the mod id is it just the Unique ID in the manifest?

brittle pasture
#

yes

cloud condor
#

ok cool

#

ok the quest is still giving me that same error where its null

hard fern
#

this sure is a map patch... SDVpuffersweats

brittle pasture
cloud condor
brittle pasture
#

and your C#?
and just in case do run patch export Data/Quests and post the file it generates

cloud condor
#

ok so the issue is potentially that in the c# it doesnt have the word content after the UniqueID

#

thats the issue

brittle pasture
#

your quest is added by the CP component, so {{ModId}} gets turned into the id of the CP component

cloud condor

gotcha, thanks again foir all the help

If you're using Content Patcher, your options are: the sprites directly to the right of the first one

If using Furniture Framework, your options are: not sure, but I'd guess closer to MMAP than CP

Hi @,

Sometimes, I wish this valley had a real high-end restaurant nearby. Someone I know online was telling me about the crazy types of fish that people eat raw - like poisonous pufferfish and sea urchins. Wild, right?

I have to try that some day. If you catch a good pufferfish, make sure to let me try some - though, maybe you should be the one to taste-test it for poison first.

Just kidding, lol.

hello! anyone knows how to debug translations? i'm trying to do config settings translations but even the default.json doesn't seem to apply

vernal crest
#

It sounds like it's someone else's mod? You should check the field names in their ConfigSchema in the content.json and compare them against the i18n keys in the default.json

uneven spindle
#

thats the guide i was following but still

#

i can share the relevant bits of the content.json if you want

vernal crest
#

Yup that'll be helpful. And the default.json please

uneven spindle
#

the default.json is placed inside the i18n folder

vernal crest
#

Is this your mod?

uneven spindle
#

no its not, i began working on some fixes to get into modding

#

i read about localization and decided to implement it for fun

vernal crest
#

It should not have a Description field in the ConfigSchema and the enable clothing section key in the default.json is written incorrectly. The names should be getting translated though

uneven spindle
#

maybe its not working because of those errors?

vernal crest
#

You have config.EnableOutfits.EnableOutfits.name but it should be config.section.EnableOutfits.name

#

Maybe, are there errors in the log?

uneven spindle
vernal crest
#

I'm on my phone by the way so it's likely that I'm missing some additional errors

#

Did you add the i18n before starting the game?

uneven spindle
vernal crest
#

And do you have file extensions turned on if you're on windows?

uneven spindle
uneven spindle
#

like restarting the game after making changes inside the i18n folder?

#

yes i'm restarting the game after each change

vernal crest
#

Ok, I'm unsure of what's going on so I recommend making a copy of your default.json and then deleting all but one set of the config translation keys. Make sure you comment out/delete the description field for that config setting in the ConfigSchema too.

(This is to reduce the variables to help isolate the problem.)

uneven spindle
#

let me try the other fixes first, maybe that was it

#

i deleted the descriptions in my content.json and removed all but his bit in the default.json

{
    // Outfit settings
    "config.section.EnableOutfits.name": "Test",
    "config.section.EnableOutfits.description": "Test"
}
#

but it doesn't seem to work

Hey everyone 👋

I'm trying to automate SMAPI from another process (Rust), but I ran into a problem.
I start SMAPI like this:

let child = Command::new(&preference.smapi_path)
    .stdin(Stdio::piped())
    .spawn()?;

Then I try to send a command to it:

let stdin = runner.child.stdin.as_mut().unwrap();
writeln!(stdin, "patch reload \"{}\"", downloaded_mod.unique_id)?;
stdin.flush()?;

But nothing happens — the SMAPI console doesn’t react at all.
If I type the same command directly into the terminal, it works fine.

So… is there a way to send console commands to SMAPI via stdin?

whole raptor
drowsy pewter
#

actually its the trigger action that shows up in trace, the mailflag shows up with the trigger action, so technically the mailflag is not needed but I'm not sure what other action would be a good choice to put there

#

I use the mailflags to communicate between mods, so the trace message is secondary for me

gaunt orbit
#

I'm not sure why, exactly, since it uses the standard c# api for reading from console

#

Pathos doesn't know either

jolly light
tiny zealot
#

(which i only have to do because when SMAPI is running via dotnet watch, approximately half of my direct input gets eaten and enters the void, but redirected stdin is fine)

next plaza
#

(SMAPI doesn't use Console.Read/Write directly anymore with that)

#

...specifically the second autocomplete PR

#

The one that isn't closed yet

#

Despite being over a year old at this point

#

I should really update that

uncut viper
gaunt orbit
tiny zealot
#

it's irritating because it makes a second terminal which accepts input but doesn't display it, and the initial terminal displays but won't take, but if i don't do that then the starting terminal eats an arbitrary subset of keystrokes (for mysterious reasons) so is totally unreliable

#

hot reload is Good™ so i pay the price, but if i don't need it need it then i just run the game conventionally

gaunt orbit

So maybe it's a windows or c# specific problem

there is a CP condition field that should accept hasmod
