ah, okay, I didn't see any previous context when scrolling up, but I must not have gone far enough

#

Can u just call whatever skip event button calls on click

uncut viper
#

my context is just my memory from previous days, so not your fault

latent mauve
#

It sounded like a modded gameplay question out of context, LOL.

lucid iron
#

I suppose u could sorta click a menu if u call receiveLeftClick too but idk which one's event lol

Ah I see what you're trying to do. It seems like the second entry is overriding the first. For example:
If BathroomExpansion is listed last, then in that area the final tiles are always either:
-> Fireredlily_FarmHouse2_BathroomExpanded
-> Fireredlily_Farmhouse2_Bathroom
If you put BathroomRenovation last, then the expansion tiles get overwritten as well I think..

latent mauve
#

Right, no matter what order I use, one of the states get overwritten when I don't want it to.

Im thinking of dismissing a Dialogue box, but I haven't found the exact method from SMAPI.

is Data/HomeRenovations an option? it seems to have direct support for multiple flags, but idk why the wiki doesn't talk about it other than the migration pages SDVpufferdizzy

latent mauve
#

Esca, I'm having to use both in combination already as it is.

#

If I don't use the map property in addition, then the map simply doesn't update to include the renovation map.

#

Data/HomeRenovations is what is making it show up in Robin's list.

royal stump
#

sorry, no idea how the system works re: that asset

latent mauve
#

It's a weird system to be sure

uncut viper
#

yeah the map property directly uses the farmhouse map overrides and skips the robin middlewoman

latent mauve
#

I tried excluding the map property and that just meant the map never changed.

uncut viper
#

the wiki doesn't talk about it because no one cares enough about it SDVpufferpensive

#

Lily has used home renovations more than any other modders I've seen combined in like the last year

latent mauve
#

LOL

#

And I am still finding pain points.

uncut viper
#

the price you pay to be a pioneer...

latent mauve
#

Well, at least I have confirmation that it is indeed a limitation on the map property only checking for one mailflag. Thanks for looking into that, Button.

#

It's late and brain fog is hitting me hard, so I'll see if I can't figure out a workaround or an alternative to do what I want later ❤️

loud sandal
latent mauve
#

Yeah, I was trying to move away from doing EditMap directly to the farmhouse, because the behavior is kind of cursed, but I may have to go back to it.

loud sandal
#

Yeah it is scary for sure lol

latent mauve
#

Alternatively, I can just do it to the loaded Bathroom texture maybe.

royal stump
#

it seems like a dynamic token in the expanded entry for the inactive map (if open flag, use open, otherwise use empty) or a conditional edit to the empty map patch would do it

#

but yeah, probably several routes with CP features, it's just binary in the data itself

#

(I'd been misreading earlier and looking at trigger actions SDVpufferdizzy)

latent mauve
#

If I went back to config-based, then I would just be changing the Maps/Fireredlily_Bathroom entry based on if they wanted the small or large bathroom.

lucid iron
#

Fireredlily if everything else fails you can maybe use the mmap map overrides thing i made

#

It can apply after vanilla map overrides for sure

#

I feel a little silly to suggest this when it's kind of based on farmhouse renovations tho

latent mauve
#

Honestly, this would be less of an issue if I had the bathroom somewhere else, because then I wouldn't be creating the open space on the right side and shifting the contents left into the blank space.

#

The bathtub/changing area and mirror are the pieces that kind of block traffic and make it hard to add the empty space after them.

Anyone got any tips on how to read a dll file? I have the app to open and edit it, but I can't understand it at all

You will need to de-compile the file to read its content, or find the source code of it on github.

It's batform I'm reading

I wanna make something similar just for my game that turns the farmer into a wolf

I also just been learning C# for like 2 days, it will be a learning curve at first for sure.

ornate locust
#

It kinda is a different language, C#

loud sandal
#

You get used to it, just keep at it. Persistence in tears was it for me lol

digital herald
#

I just did a quick scan over the Bat Form, it seems like you will need to update the AnimalSprite, and the time of day when you can transform.
Other than that, the code should stay the same.

lucid iron
#

If u know java or some other oop before then not as bad

lucid iron
#

And the farmer has 3many animations tbh

wet elm
lucid iron
#

A lot of harmony

#

By sucks i just mean "difficult to work with"

#

Not that it's impossible to do what you want because you can do basically anything with C#

wet elm
#

C# specifically for Stardew

brave fable
#

honestly given there's a (massive) Fashion Sense content pack out there that does full-body farmer sprite replacements with pokemon sprites, i'd say it's entirely possible to change the farmer into a wolf with FS only

!json may help

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.

I just published my first mod and am happy.

unkempt scaffold
stray hemlock
# unkempt scaffold Congrats! What mod is it?

Basically an add-on for the "Inches to Metric System" mod I made in correspondence with the author. The mod works by converting the minimum and maximum fish sizes into metric (though I suggested a change to that workflow) and that will permanently alter the recorded sizes of caught fish, making them three times bigger than they should be (not an issue when always using that mod and English).

#

I made a converter so that old save files will be re-converted back to inches in case you switch to a different language or stop using the mod.

#

I just realized that my code is a bit dirty, but it works.

unkempt scaffold
#

That sounds so complicated hahaha
Great work!

stray hemlock
#

Thank you.

woeful lintel
#

changing the data value directly to change the unit sounds like a bad idea™, but I guess it's fine for a mod

#

the "proper" way to do that is to just change the code that displays the number. Probably how the game does it btw, it could have saved you some time to use the built-in system?

stray hemlock
# woeful lintel the "proper" way to do that is to just change the code that displays the number....

I wasn't the person who made the original mod. But yeah, I agree, changing the data isn't good. Which is why I made my mod to "fix" old saves where the data has already been changed by applying the formula they used in reverse. Due to rounding it isn't exact, but it works well enough on already corrupted saves.
The new method I suggested is to simply add a new language, because the game will only use inches for vanilla English, not for a modded language that uses English text.

#

does the game not use the full language and region code? (genuinely asking)

#

english is en-EN (or default for mod i18ns) but other languages have things like pt-BR which I would hope is handled differently to pt-PT

#

(or whatever the portugal region code is)

stray hemlock
#

I've been using 24H Clock Language, which uses the same method, for quite a while and didn't encounter any issues. But maybe I haven't used any mods that could cause issues.

{
    "Action": "EditData",
    "Target": "Data/AdditionalLanguages",
    "Entries": {
        "English24": {
            "ID": "MetricEnglish",
            "LanguageCode": "en",
            "ButtonTexture": "LooseSprites/LanguageButtons.xnb",
            "UseLatinFont": "true",
            "TimeFormat": "[HOURS_12]:[MINUTES] [AM_PM]",
            "ClockTimeFormat": "[HOURS_12]:[MINUTES] [AM_PM]",
            "ClockDateFormat": "[DAY_OF_WEEK] [DAY_OF_MONTH]",
            "UseGenderedCharacterTranslations": "false"
        }
    }
}

As far as I know, the game doesn't check "ID", which is why it automatically loads English text simply based on the language code.

#

When you request a translation, it will automatically handle locale fallback (e.g., if a translation isn't available in pt-BR.json, SMAPI will check pt.json and default.json)
That sounds good enough to me. But I will read up on that. Thank you for the consideration.

Hello, I’m kinda new to this topic so please, bear with me while I try (emphasis on try) to explain what I want/need.
I wanna use more pixels/bigger arts for my stardew assets, like say 32*32.
How do I do that? Do I need a framework? And if so are there any available and working currently? :))

whole raptor
#

Weird question... but since we can in one action edit multiple assets with one FromFile, can we also edit one asset with multiple FromFiles? SDVpufferthinkblob

iron ridge
#

How would that work?

lucid iron
whole raptor
# iron ridge How would that work?

For example something like this:

"Target": "Portraits/NPC",
"FromFile": "assets/Portraits/Portrait.png, assets/Overlays/Overlay_1.png, assets/Overlays_2.png",```
So it'd apply those one by one. Overlays could be added with dynamic tokens depending on if they are needed, so we don't need multiple actions ![SDVpufferthinkblob](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/958634925639225395.webp?size=128 "SDVpufferthinkblob") I doubt it's a thing, but would be neat imo
magic zodiac
#

Uhhhh lemme explain better, you know how sprites are mostly 16x16? I want more detailed ones. Ones that are 32x32 or even bigger :)

whole raptor
#

Oh wait.. it'd need to be 2 actions anyway, since one would need to be replace and the other overlay... unless all the other ones after 1st would be automatically set as overlays

#

Yeah, when I remembered about patch modes the whole question stopped making sense 😅 But I wonder if it'd be something worth considering in the future SDVpufferthinkblob

hard fern
#

not even sure how the order would work

#

like i guess the first file gets patched over first

whole raptor
#

Yeah, if not specified as a overlay 1st would be a replace, then each one after that as overlay? SDVpufferthinkblob

dusk terrace
#

Fairly sure i know the answer but just wishful thinking... SDVpuffercry Is there any way to get which mod requests an edit to an asset, similar to how you get the mod name requesting your api?

inland rain
whole raptor
#

I'm guessing you don't mean just checking the log to see which mod edits an asset? SDVpufferthinkblob

lucid iron
#

Secondary question is why i suppose

dusk terrace
#

Patching old issues lol

#

Old ddfc model all edit the same dict entry so it has been an issue logging who's the culprit when something goes wrong

#

It'll be fixed in the new release though, but issue will still be there with backwards compatibility

lucid iron
#

Yeah I don't think you can do much in finding exact one

#

Usually I just verify on an entry to entry basis to see of something is incorrect

#

Your new model has a new target right

#

Not the same data asset as previous

dusk terrace
#

Big respect to aedenthorn, but sometimes i seriously question why they chose to do things a certain way lol

#

New model has mods register new patches under their own name yea, similar to how you'd use CP or other content frameworks

lucid iron
#

Well u can just ask erinthe now that she's here Dokkan

#

I ask my past self why i did things a certain way all the time

I dont blame them though, at the rate they were pumping out mods, future compat was probably low on the list xD

Android SMAPI

We are not able to provide support if you run into trouble or compatibility issues with Android SMAPI; please use the discord linked on the Android SMAPI github.

IMPORTANT: This is a highly experimental build and may be prone to glitches, bugs, or incompatibilities. Please see the wiki instructions for more information regarding installing the unofficial Android port of SMAPI for Stardew Valley 1.6.

Do not harass mod authors to make Android specific compatibility patches.

To use this command, type !androidsmapi.

It sounds like your map is referencing your png instead of the loaded vanilla sheet

#

do we have an "embed" command for tiled...

#

!tiled

ocean sailBOT
#

If you want to make mods that add or edit maps:

  1. Use Tiled to edit .tmx or .tbin files.

  2. Refer to the Maps wiki page for details on how maps work in Stardew Valley.

  3. Content Patcher allows you to create custom locations through editing Data/Locations

  4. Vanilla Maps can be edited via Content Patcher as well: EditMap

To use this command, type !tiled.
hard fern
#

eh.

boreal cliff
#

no command list from governor ? SDVpufferpensive

hard fern
#

well

#

there is a list

#

but it's

#

LONG

#

!tilesheetclimbing

ocean sailBOT
#

When creating or editing maps in Tiled, one common error is tilesheet climbing, marked by red text containing "invalid tilesheet path '../../..'. This is caused by SMAPI not being able to find the tilesheets needed by the map file. To prevent this error, make sure that you have a copy of all necessary tilesheets in the folder containing your WIP tmx file. Copies of vanilla tilesheets can later be deleted, but must be present while working on your map.

If you get this error with a completed map, an easy way to fix it is to open your tmx file in VS Code or a similar text editor, find all of the places with <image source=, and remove the filepaths to so that only the tilesheet names remain. For example, if the code says <image source="Content (unpacked)/Maps/townInterior_2" width="512" height="64"/>, change it to just <image source="townInterior_2" width="512" height="64"/>.

To use this command, type !tilesheetclimbing.
hard fern
#

mmm

#

well

#

this will probably work too

the second half

you can open the tmx in a text editor and cut out the file path

I wanna make a mod adding cooking recipes that would need crops that can already be found in the many Cornucopia mods. Should I add said mod in the dependencies of my own (and if so, do I need the permission of the mod creator?), or just create my own version of the needed crops?
I don’t think a lot of people will download my mod to begin with, but I still think about how having dupes of crops can be annoying for some people. 🙁

urban patrol
#

you don't need permission to add dependencies! you're welcome to create your own version of the crops, but if you'd rather not, it's not at all weird to require cornucopia

brittle pasture
#

you are free to make your mods depend on cornucopia

sleek igloo
#

can someone explain rq why some fields have // and others just use \ for filepaths?

#

whats the difference

#

I know there is one, I just can't quite figure out what

brittle pasture
#

they are mostly equivalent; \\ is used in data models that still use /'es to split their fields

urban patrol
#

it depends on where you're using it, but \\ is used to escape slashes in fields where that matters (for example, calling a texture in an event where / means continue to the next command)

brittle pasture
#

for example you can use ModId/Textures/Chairs in object data's Texture field for, but if you use that in furniture data the game will think you're trying to give it 3 fields named ModId, Textures and Chairs

sleek igloo
#

ohhhh I see

#

so \ is the alternate option when / is in use?

#

\*

#

\\

#

thank you!

#

I was trying to make vintage interface recolors for act of cooking but all the examples I looked at for patching another mod were different 😅

#

wasnt sure what to do

#

is adding .assets to the end of a mod id a way to tap into the assets folder? or is that a specific thing only certain mods do

#

I'm seeing this patch for love of cooking has blueberry.LoveOfCooking.Assets in the target field

brittle pasture
#

when loading a new asset, what the name is doesnt matter as long as it's unique

sleek igloo
#

right, I just mean the target path though

brittle pasture
#

yes

#

on your part what you need to do is use the exact same name as what they use

sleek igloo
#

I'm confused

#

in this patch, this is how it's written to tap into love of cooking { "Action": "EditImage", "Target": "Mods\\blueberry.LoveOfCooking.Assets\\Sprites", "FromFile": "assets/mod-sprites.png" }

#

but loc's mod id is blueberry.loveofcooking

brittle pasture
sleek igloo
#

ah, so then why does this work in this case?

brittle pasture
#

because that's the name LOC uses for its assets

#

not because there's any specific asset name scheme that allows you to access another mod's assets

sleek igloo
#

ahhhhh i found it, i was so confused where that came from

#

i didn't realize it was specified in the content file rather than the manifest

#

thank you for the clarification! SDVpufferheart

#

speaking of act of cooking, has anyone had their cookbook color change while in the kitchen menu? Mine goes very dark, like there's a dark semi-opaque filter over it

uncut viper
sleek igloo
brave fable
#

i'm pretty sure that's an issue with a mod editing the inventory menu. maybe a backpack mod?

#

it's come up once before

#

see the cookbook isn't actually part of the menu, it's an animation drawn behind the menu

#

so if a mod adds a blackout overlay to the inventory menu, wawoosh

gaunt orbit
#

Oh, interesting

sleek igloo
#

I don't have a backpack mod SDVpufferthinkblob

#

oh i think I have a menu mod somewhere, that is probably it

lucid iron
#

that is cursed

sleek igloo
#

lmao it DID hurt my eyes

#

hmm i cant get the aoc patch to work, but the log doesn't seem to have anything to say about it either

#

i think I'm targeting the assets wrong somehow

#

is this not right? { "Action": "EditImage", "Target": "Mods/Kana.ActOfCooking/assets/Interface_1", "FromFile": "assets/{{TargetWithoutPath}}.png" },

#

i feel like its a dumb error staring me in the face

#

taunting me

obtuse wigeon
#

it's possible that the mod doesn't load assets via the content pipeline meaning they may not be editable with CP, I can't find a source for the mod, if you have one I'm happy to have a gander through it to see

uncut viper
#

^ its impossible to tell you if you're targeting the right thing when the mod you're editing can make up anything it wants for its targets and we dont have the other mod to look at

sleek igloo
#

yeah i think that's the problem, I have no way to see how its adding stuff

uncut viper
#

yeah, it isnt using the content pipeline

#

the assets are not targetable

sleek igloo
#

ok then, manual replacer it is

#

I just hate having to replace it every time there's an update sigh

obtuse wigeon
lucid iron
#

I been wondering if I could do something like

  1. Divide mod into 2 dll (still 1 manifest)
  2. Conditionally load the 2nd dll, when another mod is present
    Purpose is that the 2nd dll can therefore have hard dep on the other mod
lucid mulch
#

yes, though the second dll wont go through smapis rewriter stuff

#

technically you dont need the 2nd dll though

#

.NET will only get angry that the dependency is missing when a method that uses it is called

#

so as long as you have abstractions to keep logic from being called unless its loaded, you are fine

lucid iron
#

Hm the specific problem here is that I want to edit another mod's content

sleek igloo
lucid iron
#

What degree of abstraction would be sufficient to make net not angy when another mod (spacecore in this case) isn't there

#

I know I can do some dynamic classes stuff instead but y'know type checking would be good monS

lucid mulch
#

if isLoaded() new SpacecoreIntegration(helper)

and have that integration register the assetrequested event handler

sleek igloo
#

also. successsss

image.png
lucid iron
#

Hm I'll try it then

lucid mulch
#

you just need to not touch the compile time types in the method signature or body somewhere where it could be not loaded

lucid iron
#

It is sort of a perpetual problem with many competing solutions for cp style frameworks

#

What is the isLoaded method in this case?

lucid mulch
#

ModRegistry.something

lucid iron
#

Is it the smapi mod registry one or assembly

lucid mulch
#

SMAPI in a sense does this with stardew itself.
its early startup intentionally avoids any contamination with stardew so it can startup and then complain gracefully if stardew is missing

lucid iron
#

Hm wait wouldn't smapi rewriter bonk me for having missing things

lucid mulch
#

it only checks for missing things from the allowlist of vanilla assemblies

lucid iron
#

I wonder why i thought i needed to like

#

Reflect for lookup anything assembly to patch it

#

If this works then i ought to be able to just put the lookup anything patch in its own thing?

lucid mulch
#

actually I might be wrong, I know the rewriter had an allow list, but I think the generic missing assembly reference isnt

brave fable
#

also the author of the Act of Cooking is in the server from time to time, so you can probably ask them to update their mod to use the content pipeline, or submit the changes yourself if you can

lucid mulch
# 
            // detect broken assembly reference
            foreach (AssemblyNameReference reference in assembly.Definition.MainModule.AssemblyReferences)
            {
                if (!reference.Name.StartsWith("System.") && !this.IsAssemblyLoaded(reference))
                {
                    this.Monitor.LogOnce(loggedMessages, $"      Broken code in {assembly.File.Name}: reference to missing assembly '{reference.FullName}'.");
                    if (!assumeCompatible)
                        throw new IncompatibleInstructionException($"Found a reference to missing assembly '{reference.FullName}' while loading assembly {assembly.File.Name}.");
                    mod.SetWarning(ModWarning.BrokenCodeLoaded);
                    break;
                }
            }

but the rewriters use

    private readonly ISet<string> ValidateReferencesToAssemblies = new HashSet<string> { "StardewModdingAPI", "Stardew Valley", "StardewValley", "Netcode" };

as their search path for rewriters

#

but you can hide from the first block by having the hard dependency in the second dll

uncut viper
#

i do look at the MethodInfo and turn it into a delegate in order to register the trigger action, but i dont actually call it

lucid iron
#

Weh

#

I'm tabling this for later when someone actually need it

#

The idea was that im lazy and don't wanna do animation stuff but the way I am dealing with textures makes using spacecore animation as is impossible

#

So i was gonna let ppl give me some data that I'll give to spacecore asset with the correct computed target rect and texture name

lucid mulch
#

probably for good reason as it can be a pita to troubleshoot if you didn't intentionally put guards in place to prevent the runtime from being spooked

uncut viper
#

which i didnt bc i forgor so BETAS actually has a hidden hard requirement on CP for the time being

#

its fine no one plays without content patcher anyway,

lucid mulch
#

if you lived entirely in reflection you would be fine due to no assembly reference but also be annoying for larger things

brittle pasture
#

(this + optional content packs make me wish for a "load if mod is present but don't complain if it isn't" feature)

uncut viper
#

i actually originally did it with reflection before switching to a hard dep bc i didnt realize smapi would refuse to load it lol

#

and ive been too lazy to go back and change back to reflection bc of the aforementioned no one plays without cp anyway

obtuse wigeon
#

gunna map a CP less pack just to spite you Button

uncut viper

lucid mulch

tbh does BETAS do anything if you didn't have any cp packs to use its triggers?

uncut viper

well, a C# mod can use its triggers and stuff

i dont know if there are any C# mods that do though

#

if we ignore C# mods then yeah no content packs = nothing happens

if the things that are not reloading are things using Sprite Sheet Extender specifically, then its up to Sprite Sheet Extender to handle asset invalidation correctly, which it may not

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.

Unless this was fixed in 1.6.16

#

1.6.15 i mean

#

Well it sounds like you're using another framework anyways so no

#

But Im chiming in on farmer sheet editing in general, idk if this was fixed in the past year

#

Its up to the framework to add mod refreshing capabilities

#

Most mods other than cp dont have mod refreshing functions

uncut viper
#

i think SSE is more of an outlier in that regard tbf if you dont count a deprecated one like JA
AT and Fashion Sense both have reload commands for example
idk what exactly you need SSE for but it might be worth considering if you can do it in FS instead

obtuse wigeon
#

is there a way I can hide a config option in a CP pack while still keeping it so it can be used? or would a better option just be to put it in a "depreciated" section? I want to migrate a building from a single building with a config to change interior size, to a building with 3 tiers total

uncut viper
#

no

obtuse wigeon
#

gotcha, depreciated section it is, ty

tight rivet
#

I thiink the solution's fairly simple:

# 
            "Action": "EditData",
            "Target": "Data/Festivals/spring2",
            "Entries": {
#

it probably should be Load

#

because it doesn't exist yet

#

testing c.c

uncut viper
#

no, theres a blank.json load in the content.json

#

if that was the issue you would get a much different error

tight rivet
#

.. if that's to me, there is no such blank load

uncut viper
#

i am looking at it

image.png
#

the first change in content.json

tight rivet
#

uh..

#

yeah, you're right.

#

Weird. Well, time to figure out why it's not loading in conditions then

latent mauve
#

(Even if you think there isn't a load, it's still not best practice to load anything other than a blank JSON with a priority for any data asset other people may want to add to)

true lynx
tight rivet
#

..oh.

uncut viper
tight rivet
#

hm.

narrow owl
tight rivet
#

Honestly, I thnk I just want ot move the festival initiation within the actual when patch

uncut viper
#

for most assets i ofc very much agree though

latent mauve
#

Button, I think the problem might still come up if anyone else makes a festival on that same day in their own mod?

uncut viper
#

thats the second half of what i said

#

it doesnt matter if the mod loaded a blank or a pre-filled spring2.json, so long as it was low priority

latent mauve
#

I'm gonna be honest, my focus is shot so I think my brain completely glazed over at the second part

tight rivet
#

.. if you have two festivals on spring2, one's going to have to lose unless it's passive anyway

uncut viper
#

even if they loaded spring2 exclusively and the other person loaded priority low, theyd still be doing editdata after, so its still safe

#

passive festivals use a different data asset as well anyway

tight rivet
#

right, yeah

#

anyway, I think just loading the blank file within the HasFlag will resolve the issue

uncut viper
#

if the blank load is happening before the actual data can be (bc of when conditions) that would be the problem id think tho

tight rivet
#

.. to be kinda honest

#

eh

#

it feels weird to load assets you know won't be usable, but >_>

uncut viper
#

its not weird if you arent aware that the game is going to complain about it if it finds it empty

tight rivet
#

fair

#

author does seem to know but I bet they just haven't had time to fix it since May

#

"Notepad: hey, want to enable copilot to help you edit this json???"

#

"Me: No."

uncut viper
#

(also i think the most common case of a blank load is for events i imagine? which is completely safe to have empty, so could just be habit)

#

(i forgor where else blank loads are used commonly)

tight rivet
#

ahh

uncut viper
#

oh dialogue and stuff duh

tight rivet
#

as much as i am trying to learn CP

#

events scare me

#

thank you, though!

latent mauve
#

(any brand new JSON file target where you might use {{ModId}} is a valid place for a blank.json load, so you can use EditData to add the tokens)

#

normally i fix these sorts of things myself but I have no idea how to use Button's mod and I figure more folks will find their game being crashy after checking the radio with that

uncut viper
#

(not enough escaping; the i18n token is escaped properly, but then you have more escaped quotes inside the i18n dialogue itself)

sleek igloo
#

(I don't really know what that means fhweifhei)

uncut viper
#

(dw thats for 6480 to see)

sleek igloo
#

I know I'm dumb about code but I DO like to learn, what is it?

#

escaping in this context

uncut viper
#

in the json somewhere there is this trigger action happening:

"Spiderbuttons.BETAS_Message \"{{i18n:Radio_{{TodaysRecipe}}}}\" true"

that i18n token is being replaced with the actual i18n ofc, so it becomes this:

"Spiderbuttons.BETAS_Message \"Mille-feuille! Despite its 'million' layers, it’s not fussy; it’s precise. It’s the kind of dessert that rewards patience, celebrates craftsmanship, and says, \"You deserve something beautiful today.\" Layers of flaky pastry and cream, so smooth, so rich. And the top? That signature glaze, striped with chocolate, dragged into that iconic feathered pattern with the tip of a knife...\" true"
sleek igloo
#

oh the quote inside?

uncut viper
#

thus it sees the escaped quote before "You deserve" and thinking thats the end of the first escaped quote, before Mille-feuille, which was before the i18n token

sleek igloo
#

why is it called escaped though

uncut viper
#

therefore it thinks thats where the actual message part ends, and then it tries to parse the rest of the dialogue as other stuff

sleek igloo
#

(i can assume but yknow what they say)

uncut viper
#

because if you have a string like this:
"i am string!"
then json parsers use those quotes to determine where the string starts and ends. if you want to use a quote in the string, you need to tell the parser that this special quotation mark is not marking the end of the string, i want to literally use it in my in this case dialogue
so the slash must... escape the parser, i guess, is the reasoning behind it.
"i am a \"string\" apparently!"

#

the slash tells the parser that the character after it has no special meaning and should be taken literally

#

"escaping" is not a stardew term, it's not even a json term it's used generally in programming. dont know the exact origin of using the word "escape" specifically

sleek igloo
#

ahhh okay, thank you!

uncut viper
#

this is also why you see \\ used in asset names, because the \ has a special meaning, because it acts as... the escape character! so you need to escape the slash so the parser knows you arent trying to escape something else

also sorry for always having so many annoying questions, this is how i learn/attempt to understand things I can't quite get my head around SDVpufferlurk

damn escaped quotes

uncut viper
#

if its easier you can just load your i18n to some string asset and toss in a translation key instead

drowsy pewter
#

Hmm

#

might account for translators sticking quotes in too

uncut viper
#

single quotes instead would also work, though i understand they dont really look as fitting sometimes, and it also wouldnt stop a translator from accidentally using double quotes either

#

replacing the double quotes around the trigger action itself with single quotes might also work? uncertain

drowsy pewter
#

Yeah I'll swap to single quotes as the first thing

uncut viper
#

like:

'Spiderbuttons.BETAS_Message "{{i18n: etc}}" true'
drowsy pewter
#

translators love to goof around though hehe

uncut viper
#

... except use single quotes and not backticks like i did

#

i think that would actually fix it bc itd mean the escaped quotes inside the i18n dont need to be changed at all bc theyll be escaped correctly already

#

i think

#

dont quote me on that no refunds if im wrong

#

dont singlequote me on it either

Interestingly, the history behind it is the opposite. The normal mode for teletypes and printers was to simply print all text, and you needed an "escape" character (which was the original purpose for the Escape key) in order to make it do different stuff. In a way, it would "escape" from it's normal way of operation.

Nowadays strings are a specific type of data inside a bigger meta-context, and as such the meaning has basically flipped.

You can still use these sequences nowadays to change the color of the text in the terminal, for example.

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.

# lucid iron I remember some jank around this when target field is involved

...sorry got really sick yesterday so had to give up for the day 😅

what kind of jank? if it were to only set defaults when adding a new entry and not when editing one... that'd actually be perfect for my use case

that use case being merging a set of model entries in a list asset... it's easy enough with direct fields if I just give it a default entry that gets merged in last... but gets problematic with entries of list fields

e.g. somebody has a patch (A) with an image with IDModExample.Image0 and some missing fields should be expected to use a default value
another mod could add a patch (B) for that image entry in 2 ways:
option 1) target both the entry in patch A and the image and change the required fields only
option 2) make a new entry and list an image with the same ID

so in option 1, patch B's empty fields should be ignored and filled with patch A's values when merging
and option 2, patch B's empty fields should use defaults which would overwrite and ignore patch A's values, unless those fields are explicitly set to null in which case they would use patch A's values when merging

It seems target field related at the time

(Also I have Lucikiel and now Jean and almost Jorts if you want them too to test stuff)

uncut viper
# whole raptor Hmm... decided to change the queries into the simpler version of CMCT's tokens.....

chu is correct, because with the way CMCT and CP work, content patcher will still check both your HasMod and the cmct token to see which ones are valid. this means that even though HasMod is false, it still has to check the cmct token after, which means it checks a mod that isn't installed and fails. if the query worked, then it's an unintentional and unsupported "workaround" which may not always work and falls under the disclaimer on the cmct mod page that says you might get weird bugs

gentle rose
whole raptor
#

Interesting.. I don't think I've seen any bugs related to that (and I had it like that since CMCT released

#

Hypothetical question... could it affect performance impact tho? SDVpufferthinkblob Or just cause weird bugs

uncut viper
#

if anything the mod not being there helps performance. but it means the token might crash at some point

#

depending on how you try to use it and how the other mod in question might change in the future

#

it's not something likely to cause bugs during a single play session, but across play sessions

safe kraken
whole raptor
#

If the other mod isn't installed the token isn't used at all, so shouldn't be an issue SDVpufferthinkblob

uncut viper
#

it is, with that dynamic token setup, for reasons just explained

gentle rose
dusk terrace
#

why does CP condition not have an early escape clause? SDVpufferthinkblob

#

or is it just that the token substring is applied before any check is done?

whole raptor
#

How so? Even if all the e<number> tokens are only used in an include gated by has mod? SDVpufferthinkblob

uncut viper
#

it's because of cmct. Content patcher has no reason to not look at a cmct token because cmct is installed

#

it's cmct that is then checking the other mod

dusk terrace
#

ohh just noticed their hasmod isn't checking for the mod the token is from, ignore me :D

(Be adviced, Jorts only has the first face fully animated, the others are WIP still so they won't show)

Yep, I think I mostly get it now

Cause if it's installed I'm assuming it's just "Is 12 = 12", but if not there's no way to get anything

uncut viper
#

don't remember how query works off the top of my head. it's unique in a couple ways. it might just eat the error and turn it into false for all I know

whole raptor
#

That's what I'm guessing too

dusk terrace
gentle rose
#

it doesn’t really explain what happens when they do fail though

dusk terrace
#

I assume fail means the expression fails and returns false, not the entire patch failing

# gentle rose this is windows, and also I strongly disagree, because what if there just isn't ...

There's usually always something to do. RAM is storage that is faster. You rarely get into a situation where you use less than your memory's worth of storage, be it caching or anything else.

Of course RAM usage should have priority, which is a much bigger issue to properly determine that. Maybe I should have clarified: Under optimal conditions RAM usage should always be used up because the system automatically uses it for less important tasks when it's free and clear it when there are more important things.

This is not to say that software shouldn't be unoptimized.

(there's also things like ram speed being limited and the fact that operating systems just need a certain amount of ram to be free at all times in order to function that mean it just isn't practical to be always aiming for 100% utilisation)

stray hemlock
# gentle rose I'm sorry but I have daily driven linux systems for years and you just aren't ri...

For me they are. It takes a while, but they are quickly at 95% and then stay there. And in the beginning I wondered whether that was correct, but then I read up about it, and the system does a lot of stuff when nothing is important otherwise. Buffer cache is one of these things.

Granted, I almost never turn of my systems, so I when I say "under normal conditions" I meant "running for at least 24 hours".

gentle rose
#

ah, what is happening to your system (whether necessary or not) isn't necessarily a rule of thumb for all unix systems. I tend to have more customised installs (have I mentioned I use arch btw) and simply do not see 100% utilisation full time, despite my ram never exceeding 8gb. I can't remember if my buffer cache is fixed size or dynamic so that may be a factor but my system barely works at 95% utilisation haha

#

but also I'm diligent about regularly turning my computer off

stray hemlock
#

Yeah, I was more talking general in my initial post. I didn't really know your level of expertise so I was giving a rather general answer (the "always" was a really bad choice of words, sorry qq) because I have seen a lot of people worrying about RAM usage and saying Linux is bad because it uses too much memory.

But I think you are more experienced and knowledgeable than me, so I'm sorry for that.

Hi! This is a support channel for issues such as game errors, missing saves, games not launching, and so on. Your question seems to be more gameplay focused, and as such would be better suited for:

To use this command, type !gameplayquestion.

thank you pillow. i would now like to ask about game errors, missing saves games not launching, and so on in this support channel

uncut viper
#

sounds like a pebkac error to me sorry blueberry

obtuse wigeon
#

that's a new one

brave fable
#

oldest tech support acronym in the book 🙂‍↕️

gentle rose
#

pebkac? it's about as classic as percussive maintenance

#

if not more

uncut viper
#

that and picnic

obtuse wigeon
#

picnic is the usual one I hear, easier to remember aswell

uncut viper
#

pebkac is more fun to say

gentle rose
#

I never heard picnic until I joined this server SDVpuffersquee

brave fable

i'll admit i've never heard picnic in my life

problem in chair, not in computer

obtuse wigeon
#

it's great if you have sandwiches and a blanket

uncut viper
#

you can also say its an IBM error if you wanna be meaner about it

obtuse wigeon
#

I do like that one, but that's more reserved for my own stupidity XD

gentle rose
#

a little outdated now that that's not a relevant thing to say 90% of the time SDVpuffersquee

uncut viper
#

because PEBKAC is totally relevant

#

an acronym with so much more meaning

brave fable
#

wonderfully it does also open up the avenue for the problem to be a cat

gentle rose
#

at least we still use keyboards and chairs SDVpuffersquee gone are the days when so many computers were IBM

uncut viper
#

IBM itself still pretty relevant though i reckon

i could be using a touchscreen keyboard, but for the purpose of being an exception a laptop keyboard is not a discrete keyboard 🙂‍↕️

uncut viper

if you call it a keyboard then it is a keyboard

brave fable
#

look ma, no chair

uncut viper
#

it aint a PEBDKAC error

ok a combination computer-typewriter sits in front of me as i stand

oh i know this one, GO EAST

#

I have always heard it as PLBKAC -- "Problem Lies Between Keyboard and Chair"

uncut viper
#

theres no word starting with E in that one tho

latent mauve
#

Yeah, not sure why the people who taught me it didn't use an E word

#

But there was always an L

Hey guys! It’s been a while since I’ve been here or touched any code, but I’m back because I have an update I’m trying to get out by the end of the week, since I made some promises.😅 I need to make portraits that have a random chance of being chosen among each other during a specific season, but each of them will also need to have the option to be individually disabled in a config.

If all but one option is disabled, would it be possible make whatever portrait is the last remaining to be the default for the entire season, vs it still being chosen by chance? I basically need one special portrait to always be chosen, but all to have an equal chance of getting picked if two or more are enabled.

I also need to link each portrait chosen to their own specific sprites. So… how should I go about this? Which wiki pages would you recommend I look at? Are there any mods that do this which I should also check out? Thanks!

re: default portrait, you can probably make a dynamic token for the portrait that checks if its config is turned on but every other config is turned off, and if thats the case, set its value to "1", but otherwise set its value to "0.1" or whatever percentage chance you give them all by default, and then use that dynamic token as the value in the RANDOM token i assume you're using for the appearance data

#

(and by RANDOM token i mean the RANDOM game state query)

#

that does ofc as mentioned assume you're using that GSQ in the first place or even using the Appearance system at all in the first place

fierce vault
#

I’ve done dynamic tokens before, so I’ll need to open up the json and my references to see if I can get this done. Thanks.

Adding warps won't work properly because the farmhouse is hardcoded to move any incoming warps from the farm to the front entryway. It's an unavoidable side effect of how building interiors work

Thank you!
