[merry river]

okay so do I do the HasMod check for CMCT or for Free Love in the include?

wait my when syntax is off i think

[vernal crest]

Yes it is

The Include patch (so not this one) should have the HasMod for both mods if you're not doing a hard dependency on CMCT

[merry river]

Ahhh okay! thank you so much!

[merry river]

"HasMod: |contains=aedenthorn.FreeLove, Spiderbuttons.CMCT": true, would it work like this?

[vernal crest]

No, you need to do two separate checks for an AND. That's doing an OR check.

"HasMod |contains=aedenthorn.FreeLove": true,
"HasMod |contains=Spiderbuttons.CMCT": true

[merry river]

Okay, got it! Thanks a ton!!

[vernal crest]

You're welcome :)

[elfin kindle]

Wh...why in the world has my mod decided that my "EditData" for "Data/Events/Farm" just... doesn't exist/work? When i try to debug the events there, it just says that the event doesn't even exist

[vernal crest]

Did you forget to save? Put it in an Include but then forget your Include patch?

[elfin kindle]

No, I've saved and its together in the same file as all the other events but those work???

[vernal crest]

What's your patch summary say?

[elfin kindle]

Lemme get a proper one but it just says that the event im calling on doesn't exist and that's it

[vernal crest]

That's not what a patch summary does

Do you know what I mean by patch summary?

[elfin kindle]

Ah my bad, I googled but had too many thoughts going on cus the current patch was a desperate attempt one so i wanted fix that before I actually sent a proper one ^^ Gimme 2 sec

Yeah okay it seems to just totally be blind to the Farm events

Im not sure what the best way to show all this info is but like, all the other even changes are there but not the Farm one

[vernal crest]

Look at the actual line for the events to see if it's telling you that a condition hasn't been met or something

If there are no lines for the events whatsoever, then the problem is that Content Patcher itself is not even seeing the patch.

In which case you have accidentally commented it out, not saved as recently as you thought you did, or are accidentally editing the wrong file.

Or you have an error message telling you that the patch was ignored but missed seeing that.

[elfin kindle]

Aaah its my i18n issue again, that embarrassing I had players say a certain event wouldn't load so I thought i'd look at it, but seems like i had made a new issue and wasn't actually looking at the players issue.

Whoops 😭 i18n is difficult dude, i shouldn't have set it up when in the middle of the night-

Well it's not really difficult, but one tired mistake ended up creating many lolol

[vernal crest]

Ah yeah, attention to detail slips can be a problem

[elfin kindle]

Truly Well time to actually fix the original problem my player was having lolol

[vernal crest]

Good luck!

[elfin kindle]

It was apparently that the event doesn't like the "Season Spring Summer Fall" precondition? It's working on another event in town, but it won't play on the Farm event??

[vernal crest]

How exactly have you written it?

[elfin kindle]

'/Season Spring Summer Fall"' , is that.. not how you write it? I couldn't find any example on the modding wiki so i've been just assuming

"{{ModId}}_MirrenHeartEvent14/t 610 2000/f {{Mirren}} 3500/SawEvent {{ModId}}_GettingHaleyToHelp/Weather rainy/Season Spring Summer Fall

[vernal crest]

Typo

Spring

[elfin kindle]

Ah it's not a type in the actual code, i just remade it in discord lolol

[vernal crest]

And it's definitely listed on the wiki, were you on the official one?

[elfin kindle]

Oh I've just been looking at the stardew valley wiki for this one, where it's pretty ambigious

[vernal crest]

The + sign indicates that you can list multiples, which is done how you have done it

But why are you rewriting it instead of copying and pasting it to show me? The real one might have a typo in it

Also, what's making you think it's specifically the season condition that is the problem?

[elfin kindle]

Yeah, it's how it's worked for all the other + ones. And it was just so i wouldn't backtrack the actual code, which is laziness I'll fully admit 💀 I did copy and paste it from the working event and had checked for misspellings, as well as "spring" instead of "Spring", and i'm thinking it's that because it works when i take it out, and then stops working when i put it back in

Ah well putting !Season Winter made it work! And I was thinking it might not be a huge deal if it doesn't work as i don't think it can't rain without a rain naturally during winter and that's the more important part ^^"

[vernal crest]

Well, not winter is a more succinct way of putting it anyway so that works lol

[elfin kindle]

Yeah very much, i forogt you could do the whole "if not" way of doing it until just now lololol

[tiny zealot]

(github markdown woes) i am trying to put together a table of color swatches in github markdown and most/all of github's rendering strips CSS and won't accept an <img> with a base64 src. i'm unlikely to create 143 colored pngs for this (if that would even work; it might block all direct html images), so does anybody know a way to display a block of color? (css is ideal, since i already have the colors in a nice, css-friendly rgb(r,g,b) format)

i guess i could just bake an enormous image for it. that might have to do

[gentle rose]

svg?

[tiny zealot]

i don't speak svg

if you know a way to embed it directly as html without github stripping it (and if it's easy to generate on the fly from a known rgb value), i could try it, but i think i might be consigned to the big image at this point

(i don't fancy including 143 small images in the repo, but i can justify one big one)

[lucid iron]

Svg makes sense to me

[tiny zealot]

also, related but not related, TIL monogame has a color called MonoGameOrange (R:231,G:60,B:0,A:255)

[digital herald]

You can use a placeholder image https://anyplaceholder.com/placeholder?width=100&height=100&bg=09f&color=fff&text=%23fff&fontSize=20&radius=0&format=png
The text, size, and color can be customized. Created using this https://anyplaceholder.com

[lucid iron]

It can still be text form

[tiny zealot]

thanks! this looks useful, but i don't wish to link to an external host

<svg> seems to be stripped out entirely (<img> gets gutted but a vestige remains)

[lucid iron]

https://github.com/potherca-blog/StackOverflow/blob/main/question.13808020.include-an-svg-hosted-on-github-in-markdown/readme.md

It looks like you have to commit the svg separately (pain)

[tiny zealot]

okay, big image it is then 😔

[lucid iron]

But it is a text format s.t. versioning is slightly better thab bitmap i suppose

I do not think average modder person knows what an svg is

[digital herald]

if you have the colors in a neat format, I can help with generating the readme.

[tiny zealot]

respectfully, i think you have misunderstood my problem

[digital herald]

No problem, I thought you were having issues with displaying content using github markdown. Since github doesnt really support outside links. You can write HTML using github pages, and embed it using iframe. Or host the images on the repo.
I was suggesting automating this process of updating the colors on readme.

[gentle rose]

I don't think github markdown supports iframes either though

yeah it doesn't

[digital herald]

Sorry my bad, github readme.md doesnt allow iframe. It seems like the only way is to host the images on the repo.

[austere spruce]

Hey yalls, I came to ask some questions about making mods. How would you go about making a modded farmhouse interior layout? I've been trying to use google to find tutorials but I keep getting guides for installing mods lol

[hard fern]

!tiled

[ocean sail]

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]

u need tiled

[autumn tide]

!unpack
there are maps for farmhouse interior in the unpacked game to use as a base :)

dammit

!unpack

[ocean sail]

Follow this guide to unpack the game's content files in order to see and explore how the game data is structured.
It's helpful when making your own mods, or just to learn about how the game works!

To use this command, type !unpack.

[autumn tide]

okay there we go

[austere spruce]

Great, thanks :)

[austere spruce]

Follow up question, how exactly do i import the tile set in tiled so it can auto fill the map files

[hard fern]

you should be working with your tilesheets in the same folder as your map

and this little button to embed them

[lucid iron]

When editing vanilla maps, you want to make sure to start with copy of the original

Once you unpacked you can copy the tmx + needed sheets to working dir for that

[sage pollen]

If I have a mod related gameplay question, is this the right chat to ask?

[hard fern]

better to ask #modded-stardew for gameplay questions

this is for making mods yourself

[oblique meadow]

This is for making mods @sage pollen if you have a playing the game with mods question go to #modded-stardew if you're having technical issues with a mod, #1272025932932055121

[sage pollen]

Oh, I see that now. I am really turned around trying to find this one fish
Thanks guys

[tiny zealot]

i speak a few words of svg now https://github.com/ichortower/FontSmasher/blob/dev/docs/color-table.md
i ended up generating all of the svgs. i don't care for having all those files, but it turns out i also don't care for having a big clunky image (and, critically, having to create the big clunky image)

i spent an inappropriate amount of time on this extremely minor feature so i hope someone appreciates it /lh

[uncut viper]

i would if it worked on mobile

[tiny zealot]

simply do not look at github on your phone. skill issue /s

[uncut viper]

just make your own docs site. skill issue

[lucid iron]

Can i borrow yer script but for color context tags?

I wrote this down by hand it was terrible https://github.com/Mushymato/DynamicItemSpriteCompositor/blob/main/docs/colortags.md

[tight rivet]

hm. I wonder how to use CP to update the machine rules generated by PFM..

[autumn tide]

okay i have an idea- would it be possible to enable other NPC shops to open geodes?? considering making it possible for dwarf to open geodes for ppl who hate clint (me)

[brittle pasture]

you dont

[tight rivet]

:V

That's going to make this difficult then

[brittle pasture]

is this for compat with another mod

[tight rivet]

yes

[brittle pasture]

i considered adding this to my custom blacksmith mod months ago

[autumn tide]

oooh you have a blacksmith mod?

[tight rivet]

(more specifically, I'm adding stuff that patches furnaces to a mod that adds custom furnaces, or looking into feasibility of it.)

[brittle pasture]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/32864

[uncut viper]

if the qustion is "would it be possible" the answer is always yes. if the question is "would it be possible with CP" the answer is much less likely to be yes.

[autumn tide]

why joke fuck clint

[autumn tide]

gotchaaaa

[brittle pasture]

which mod is this out of curiosity

[autumn tide]

ty

would it be possible for an idiot like me who doesn't wanna do too much work but is open to looking at framework and dependencies to enable other NPC shops to open geodes?

[uncut viper]

if selph only considered adding it but did not actually then id say probably not

[autumn tide]

oof okay

[tight rivet]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/22401 is the PFM mod

glancing at it's code I'm hoping I do not have to learn PFM for it

[brittle pasture]

hmm yeah, I was asking because I vaguely heard of similar CP mods

no 100% replacement though it seems

[autumn tide]

hmmm okay

[brittle pasture]

and yeah, your best course of action to change PFM rules is ||file replacement||

[tight rivet]

[gray bear]

i saw there was a mod to make calico eggs and qi fruit not disappear from the inventory, but im assuming making them a wallet currency kind of deal like qi gems and golden walnuts is a c# thing

to mod ideas github i go

[brittle pasture]

unlockable bundles support that

[gray bear]

oh?

[brittle pasture]

custom currency i mean

[tight rivet]

I'm working on a calico eggs one now

speaking of that, I hsould test ifit worked

[uncut viper]

would double check if that actually lets them able to be used where the game normally expects them

[autumn tide]

was thinking of like maybe seeing if clint's shop is a map tile action thing and then adding that action to an anvil in dwarf's cave and then having a location change trigger action that changes clint's geode opening sprites to dwarf- as well as changing the geode opening bckg

[gray bear]

i mean if you add calico eggs as a custom currency will that just make em that forever

[tight rivet]

.. that one I can't doubletest as I'm well past the festival window, lol

[gray bear]

yeah can you still spend em? thonk

[autumn tide]

hmmm i think spacecore has some custom wallet item/currency stuffs?? not sure tho

[uncut viper]

its not a map action to open the geode menu. its a response to choosing a dialogue choice when you talk to clint

[autumn tide]

OH

okay gotcha

...i'm not going to do that then. (telling myself this bc omggg scope creep)

[uncut viper]

you cant do that without C# anyway

[autumn tide]

okay thank god i'm not that ambitious

[tight rivet]

.. does anyone have a save at the desert festival I can borrow?

[autumn tide]

you can cheat the date using console!

[tight rivet]

well, that works, I guess.

[lucid iron]

If you just unlock bus then you can get desert fest on save y1

Normally I cjb unlock that

[dusk terrace]

Just make 40k in the first 2 weeks without cheating np

[tight rivet]

... okay

sometimes testing mods makes me worry

[soft lance]

The localized text strings of the Desert Festival occur today!!!

[tight rivet]

the mod works but interacts oddly with the dropdown that's present in the festival (in that you'll see it drop down and rise up a few times)

[hard fern]

wow my favorite festival has always been [LocalizedText Strings\1_6_Strings:DesertFestival]

[lucid iron]

Is the tooltip your mod

[tight rivet]

no

my mod is making calico eggs a currency. 😄

[soft lance]

can i eat da eggs

[tight rivet]

[lucid iron]

I guess u just need unlockable bundles for that right

[tight rivet]

yep

it's actually pretty simple

[lucid iron]

Wonder how it deals with egg gone tho

[tight rivet]

uh.. >_>

[soft lance]

can i fry the eggs.

[tight rivet]

i suspect that it wouldn't actually erase at the end of the festival like it should

[soft lance]

https://tenor.com/view/food-egg-fried-breakfast-gif-3303487

[lucid iron]

Well the good thing is that it's ez to test and just a bug report if it no work

[uncut viper]

would that even be considered a bug? i dont see much of a point to making it a currency if you didnt want to keep it permanently

[lucid iron]

Feature request to delixx then

The purpose of currency is just to not have inventory slot tho

There's other non persistent currency like star tokens

[brittle pasture]

star tokens is a secret hardcoded festival points thing right

[uncut viper]

yes, star tokens use a shared int across all festivals

[tight rivet]

i don't think you could use CP to remove them

[uncut viper]

not without a dependency framework

[tight rivet]

and tbh, personally, I'd rather just keep them in the wallet

.. lol, PFM machines don't have logic in the Data/Machine asset

welp I guess I'm learning PFM syntax

[uncut viper]

thats why selph said you cannot edit them

(with CP that is)

[lucid iron]

Could you just rewrite the mod in data/machines

[brittle pasture]

PFM rules still take precedence if the user has the original mod

[tight rivet]

I could, and I'll rpobably end up doing so for local use

.. but on the other hand

really not sure I could convert the PFM config to anything else, so

(I guess the main reason I wanted to do it in CP was for HasMod stuff. )

[ornate locust]

that mod has always showed it like that, yeah

so it's not broken! It just doesn't know what a localized string is

[tight rivet]

ah

[lucid iron]

What is meant by pfm config

Is it different than the content pack itself

[tight rivet]

it controls the animation and stuff of the machine itself

[lucid iron]

Well I am fairly sure you can do all that in Data/Machines, questions is just permission and purpose of your mod

[tight rivet]

it's mostly to make three mods play nice together. If it's an issue with permissions I'd probably just not release it, lol

[tight rivet]

Congrats on your mod, Midnight!

[autumn tide]

okay i have a question- what on earth are blank.json files for???

[obtuse wigeon]

initialising, thats entirely it to my knowledge, EditData only works on assets that are already present, loading a blank.json makes said thing present

[dusky sail]

if you load something you cant use content patcher features such as tokens. but if you edit something you can. so you load the blank to create the asset and then edit it so you can have all the thingies

[autumn tide]

...i got no clue what that means but ty for responding LOL

[uncut viper]

its not just for tokens but both answers combined paint the whole picture

you cannot use tokens like {{ModId}} inside a .json file loaded with a Load action. they dont get parsed

[autumn tide]

hmmm okay

[uncut viper]

unless you meant you dont know what Atlas meant?

[autumn tide]

uhh i didn't get either-

i have a irritating learning curve-

[uncut viper]

you can do EditData on something like Characters/Dialogue/Penny or whatever because that asset already exists, you can see it in your unpacked content folder. there's already stuff in there. It contains a bunch of strings for the dialogue, so you can edit that list of strings just fine

but for a custom NPC, Characters/Dialogue/MyNpcName doesnt exist. you cant edit its list of strings bc there is no list of strings

[autumn tide]

mhm

okay

[uncut viper]

a blank json file, just { } is an empty list of things for you to edit

(or an empty dictionary, but for the purpose of explaining that difference is semantics)

[elfin kindle]

I also wondered wtf blank.json was for and this is what Abagaianye said! ^^

[uncut viper]

so you use the blank.json file to give the empty list, the blank canvas, to Characters/Dialogue/MyNpcName

then you can edit that blank canvas

[autumn tide]

hm, okay i think i got it

[autumn tide]

gotchaaa okay

[uncut viper]

if you know you're not going to use any tokens at all inside your dialogue (or schedule, or event, or whatever) then you can just Load the json directly to the target in question

and not use an empty one

[autumn tide]

hmm, maybe someone should make that a command?

the 'what's the blank.json for' question answer thing

[exotic token]

mail flags can be used to load patches right?

can it be used to remove patches too?

[lucid iron]

Not really?

A mailflag is either true or false

[exotic token]

ugh i thought so

[lucid iron]

And a patch is either loaded or not loaded, possibly conditioned on mailflag

If you consider that removal then sure

[exotic token]

so it can make the patch unload

[tiny zealot]

sure, everything's MIT, take whatever you can find in the repo
as usual, i don't really recommend other people use awk or my terrible bash svg generator, but you may, if you are into that sort of thing

[lucid iron]

I think unload is the wrong terminology here

[exotic token]

so lets say I have a patch that turns alex into a girl

[lucid iron]

If you had patch A B C and B got a When HasFlag

[tiny zealot]

down the line i might automate the color data file by dumping it from within the game somehow, but that's later. i'm mostly confident i didn't mistype any of them

[lucid iron]

When the flag is not set the patches that apply is A C

[exotic token]

and I want alex to be a boy again a few days later

is that possible

[tiny zealot]

yeah if you unset the flag that gates the patch, the patch will stop being applied when your context updates

[lucid iron]

In that case what you actually want is a trigger action that toggles the mailflag controlling the "alex is girl" patch, whatever that might be

Common ways to do few days count down is conversation topics and IncrementStat

[drowsy pewter]

alex is going through some things

[exotic token]

it was an example

[lucid iron]

the key thing is just that you do not control when content patcher rechecks patches, that is fixed by the updaterate (default daily)

you would make the condition true or false so that the next time content patcher rechecks, it will do something different

[hard fern]

Congrats on your transition Alex

[exotic token]

at least i dont have to make a second alex npc

[lucid iron]

Well ig it depends on what alex is girl should actually affect

[exotic token]

sprite, portrait, and dialogue

[lucid iron]

Cus if it's just sprites then using appearance system is better

[exotic token]

appearance system?

[lucid iron]

Yeah the Appearance field in character data

You can use that to change npc sprite and portrait conditionally

It's what seasonal outfit mods use

The reason why you should use that even if you have to do HasFlag elsewhere is cus you can give girl alex a very low precedence so that your appearance win

Otherwise you'd have to editimage all these other mods

[nimble karma]

Hi y'all, not quite sure where I would ask such a broad question but I figured I'd start here. I've been playing modded Stardew for quite a while now (like 600+ hours whoops!) and finally got the urge to create my own mod. Does anyone know where I'd find resources to build custom bundles in the community center? I was looking at basically building on Custom Community Center Bundles and expanding it to include a few other mods (Alchemistry, Grapes of Ferngill, Sunberry Village) alongside their optional Cornucopia, RSV, and SVE bundles.

I don't really have too much coding experience, but I've been editing JSON files to make mods interact with each other in a cleaner way so I know how to find basic stuff like itemID's and the like \

[obtuse wigeon]

Theres a framework that lets you make your own bundles called Unlockable Bundles and another called Custom Community Center Bundles, check out both of these and see if they fit your needs! I'm not sure how different they are so it's entirely which would fit your needs better

Oh wait it seems the Custom Community Center Bundles isn't a framework my bad!

[nimble karma]

I forgot about Unlockable Bundles, I'll have to check them out!

[obtuse wigeon]

I don't think the regular bundles in the game are hard coded either? but I'm not sure about that though if you just want to edit them

[nimble karma]

That's what I was thinking, the Custom Community Center pack I downloaded is shockingly simple

[obtuse wigeon]

Found it, looks like they are editable with just CP https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Bundles

[nimble karma]

Alright, I'm gonna study this and compare it with the Content.JSON in the CCCB pack I have and just strip it down to understand it

I'd love to work on restoring the old Love of Cooking Community Center bundle afterwards, but that'd probably be waaaaaay more work

One step at a time

And I'm not much of an artist so 😅 if there's sprite editing involved, I'll probably leave that alone

[tiny zealot]

!anyonecancook everyone had to draw their first pixel art at one point

[ocean sail]

To use this command, type !anyonecancook.

[stray hemlock]

Pixel art is also different from "manual" art in that you don't have to learn the ergonomic "crafty" parts of painting and drawing. That's what helped me, as someone who still can't properly hold a pen due to developmental dexterity issues, I recently realized that with pixel art I don't have all these issues that made me hate art lessons in school. I'm still a beginner, but finally art is fun.

Just to clarify, I don't want to say that it's easier, just that it requires a different skill set which might make it easier for people who have difficulties with the skill set required for "manual" (is there a word for that?) art.

[shut edge]

Just edit vanilla stuff tbh, that'll get you farther than you might think

And you might pick up the basics from that

[narrow owl]

https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/618f0d673f2b4a148129a85508e59453 any idea why the recipe that gets sold at moonlight jelllies isnt appearing in cooking menu and why the recipe is showing torch recipe?

[brave fable]

you need to change "Name": "Irish Moss Pudding" to "Name": "{{ModId}}_IrishMossPudding" and of course correct the other Name fields for each item

ideally you should also ModId prefix your buff Id fields

[narrow owl]

got it ty

[soft lance]

Got a question, is it ModId, or ModID? I've seen both

[brave fable]

content patcher is case insensitive (*when reading tokens), you can use {{season}} or {{MODid}} if you like

[soft lance]

phew okay haha good to know, ty

[autumn tide]

god i love case-insensitivity

[brave fable]

it's all fun and games until you start using case insensitive file paths

[autumn tide]

idk if i spelled that right but

[brave fable]

and then it all falls to bits

[autumn tide]

oh it does?

shit

alr

[brave fable]

windows users occasionally create an Assets folder and use assets in their FromFile values, and then the changes are never applied for linux users

[autumn tide]

ohhh okay

[tiny zealot]

there are also some gotchas sprinkled throughout stardew modding in general. lots of it is case-insensitive, until you hit something that isn't and oopsie doopsie

[brave fable]

the same applies to pretty much anywhere that would use file paths if you're inconsistent, not necessarily just CP fromfiles

ideally you should follow as it's presented in the documentation

[autumn tide]

yeahhh like character names

[brave fable]

since of course programming is nothing if not inconsistent

[tiny zealot]

and npc sleeping animations

[autumn tide]

thank god the npcs im working on dont sleep-

[brave fable]

and event commands..

the list goes on 🙂‍↕️

[autumn tide]

..speaking of... i'm gonna force myself to go bed

a tragedy

[soft lance]

truly a tragedy

its 10pm, i gotta sleep and wake up at 4 am

will i do that? no

will i sleep at 12 am? yes

[autumn tide]

it is i wanna be cryptid without biological needs

[autumn tide]

lucy no sleep

[soft lance]

4 hours is enough for now

cause a flight

so i cant really sleep in much

[hard fern]

Just be me and dont sleep

[autumn tide]

damn, just take care of yourself okay?

[soft lance]

your right, i just have a skill issue, i gotta not sleep 100%

hmmmm

[soft lance]

lol yeah not the best..i heard some get hallucinations, I get more of like

in and out of sleep mid text

and my mind jumps from like

"yeah i love chocolate cause the trains in ohio went fast thats why we have space"

it starts to lose track on where its at 🤣

[autumn tide]

hmmm yeah i can't fall alseep without meds so that's not really my issue

OH i thought you meant rapidly falling in out of sleep lol

[soft lance]

ohh

[autumn tide]

yeahhhh i've been there-

[soft lance]

mine is like 5 seconds asleep and i wake up and continue typing and then again

        },
                // ... etc
},```

(i had been doing EditImage on the world map before, but BaseTexture is supposed to be more performant and also won't get overwritten by recolors, for example)

[vernal crest]

Is that not working, nic? What error are you getting?

[urban patrol]

"must set the Target Field" (can send log if you need but that's it)

[uncut viper]

what asset are you editing?

[urban patrol]

ohh

[vernal crest]

Oh yeah haha you don't have a Target

[uncut viper]

bc it doesnt say so in your patch

[urban patrol]

🤦

[uncut viper]

i can see why thatd be a confusing error to get if you arent sure you're using TargetField right

[urban patrol]

yeah after like 6 revisions i was like well clearly i don't understand TargetField

thank you for the second and third pair of eyes on that lol

[lucid mulch]

a load bearing space in that error message

[vernal crest]

I was no help lol

Except for making you feel better for missing it I guess because I did the same thing xD

[fluid night]

Help!

[lucid mulch]

Would the error message must set the 'Target' field have been less ambigious?

[vernal crest]

It would for me, yep

[urban patrol]

i think so, and also me not accidentally reading 'Field' as capitalized (it's actually "must set the Target field"

[narrow owl]

i think appropriate channel would be #1272025932932055121 or #modded-stardew

[fluid night]

but the errors in the code for the mod I made?

[narrow owl]

why do people stop using json assets?

[vernal crest]

It means that it's looking for a file called PremiumBarn_winter.png in the assets folder but it can't find one.

[vernal crest]

Don't need to use it anymore because we can use CP instead

[fluid night]

ohhhh okay I know the problem now

[tiny zealot]

json assets had one job in 1.5 (prevent collision of numerical item ids), which is now obsolete (mods can choose string ids, and if properly namespaced they will never collide)

[narrow owl]

k

[vernal crest]

ichor's explanation is better

[narrow owl]

what abt producer framework?

[lucid mulch]

iirc it has some niche usecases still but for 90% of things can be done directly in CP using vanilla machine rules

[vernal crest]

PFM is still maintained though

[narrow owl]

what r those niche cases? im rlly curious

no idea

[urban patrol]

patch is being applied but

[vernal crest]

Did you do a patch export to make sure it's in the right place?

[urban patrol]

of Data/WorldMap or the map texture?

the answer is neither but which would you like

[vernal crest]

Data/worldmap

I do that when I am not sure why my change isn't applying

(Not specifically for world map, haven't done that before)

[urban patrol]

hmmm is this perhaps a case where i need to MoveEntries inside a list? they're in there, but the vanilla BaseTexture is above them

[lucid iron]

oh this aint the format i was meaning

[urban patrol]

🙃

[lucid iron]

ill brb cus its annoying to explain in words anyways

[urban patrol]

okay np

[lucid iron]

https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/e282c3bb828948cebf4e2a7ffecfc83c#code.25

@urban patrol this is the bit to put in a piece of tx

[urban patrol]

you beat me by literally 5 seconds

thank you so much though

now to test stupid recolors

[lucid iron]

i deliberately mismatched recolors

the benefits now is that ppl can just editimage you to add compat

cus you are loading stuff to actual target that is not just worldmap

[urban patrol]

excellent!

although they'll see my messy half-recolored maps lmaoooo

[lucid mulch]

That might be the first time I've actually seen the texture field used for a map area outside of vanilla

[urban patrol]

i'm chu is a pioneer

[lucid mulch]

Last time I did a scan in mods I got zero results

[lucid iron]

i do think u should prob use season conditions but shrug doing a bunch of loads is also ok

does remapping use this?

[urban patrol]

i do at least tokenize it so hopefully it's better?

[lucid iron]

it seems like the kinda mod that would

tokenize it makes it worse :)

[urban patrol]

ah.

[lucid iron]

well, it's more like if the data is invariant

then game never has to invalidate it

or uh, content patcher never has to

[lucid mulch]

It would have been back in March or something I did the scan

[lucid iron]

if u put a token that is variable then it means at some point content patcher will have to invalidate the whole asset

but as content modder i wouldnt worry about this just do what feels nice

[urban patrol]

i think for the sake of my own sanity and not have 4x the amount of code, i shall live with poorer performance for now

[lucid mulch]

🙁

[urban patrol]

if people complain that i get too bulky i'll revisit it

[lucid iron]

i was actually thinking you do a bunch of loads instead

[urban patrol]

hmm i guess that wouldn't be too much extra work

[lucid iron]

{
  "Action": "Load",
  "Target": "{{ModId}}/worldmap",
  "FromFile": "assets/maps/tilesheets/spring_worldmap.png",
  "Priority": "Low"
},
{
  "Action": "Load",
  "Target": "{{ModId}}/worldmap",
  "FromFile": "assets/maps/tilesheets/summer_worldmap.png",
  "Priority": "Low+1",
  "When": {"Season": "Summer"}
},

like this + fall and winter

[urban patrol]

+2 and +3?

[lucid iron]

well Low+1 is fine for not spring

spring is the base unconditional load

[urban patrol]

oh i see

how about for recolors? should i not tokenize that as well

[lucid iron]

sure u can do that, they r likely essentially invariant

go make a DT for worldmapflavor or something

[urban patrol]

that's what i already got :)

[lucid iron]

anyways the thing to avoid is just EditImage LooseSprites/map

once u get out of that its alright to play a little loose with your own assets

if someone else wish to do compat with you they can do Default priority When loads Season to nic.dbd/worldmap

and they'd just win

[urban patrol]

and their loads are preferable to them EditImaging mine, for performance?

[lucid iron]

editimage cost more than load yes

[lucid mulch]

That reminds me, I should check to see how load priority works in cp and if it's smart enough to not bother invalidating if a higher priority patch was winning anyway

The key with loads is that only one load is actually going to win and touch the filesystem for the image

[urban patrol]

and so even seeing multiple loads and throwing the rest out is still better over edit+edit+edit+edit, makes sense

[brave fable]

yeah, names and buff ids look good

[lucid mulch]

also need to check how asset propagation happens for worldmap and textures it tries loading

[lucid iron]

loads that dont activate never actually goes into the part where a Color[] is allocated for texture editing operations

that is why it's strictly better when 1. you can do it, no Exclusives flying around 2. no need to do any Edit

[gray bear]

color crimes?

[lucid iron]

i really wish Exclusive wasn't the default

ik why but one can wish

[lucid mulch]

ok worldmap maparea textures are fine, vanilla keeps references to them all and renders them all, rather than compositing a new image

[lucid iron]

does the game ever do any composition of new texture2d on the fly

[lucid mulch]

game does plenty of map modifications on the fly which wont track the source changing (spouserooms/patios for example)

ah yes, the building paint mask does

[brave fable]

staminarect 🙂‍↕️

pretty sure farmer sprites are also constructed for skin colour and arms

[lucid mulch]

I should have gone to the smapi propagation code first

[brave fable]

not sure if it uses a new for that or just edits the loaded texture

[lucid mulch]

playersprites, the tool spritesheet and building masks

hmm tool spritesheet looks like kinda dead code, nothing seems to mutate it anymore but still has the plumbing to be in a different texture2d from the content pipeline

unless it was for old mod support?

[lucid iron]

oh yea building masks those r funny

[lucid mulch]

ok ancient history https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/issues/346 for stardew 1.2.30–1.2.33

[gray bear]

why did you add dynamic tokens for days of the week?

[smoky sage]

Well... I used the template I found on the Wiki, and since it didn’t cause any issues before, I just left it as is.

[gray bear]

what are you using these tokens for?

can you share the scedules.json?

[smoky sage]

Actually, I don’t know what to do with these tokens.

[vernal crest]

Have you changed his schedule recently?

[smoky sage]

yes, I adjusted his time.

[vernal crest]

Have you slept since doing that?

In game

[smoky sage]

Well... Not really...

I just logged out and logged back in.

[vernal crest]

You have to sleep in game after making schedules changes

So try that and see if it helps

[smoky sage]

ok! I'll go try it now!

[vernal crest]

And if it doesn't, please paste patch summary full LuoLi.Zayne into your SMAPI console while in your save and then get your log again

[smoky sage]

OMG, I did it! Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️

[stray hemlock]

Is there a debug command that opens the pause menu? I can't find it in the wiki, but maybe it's a combination of a few different commands.

[fossil osprey]

The pause menu?

Like, the pause mode where the whole game is paused outside of an inventory?

[gentle rose]

all menus pause in single player, none do in multiplayer

[stray hemlock]

Nope, I just realized I meant the inventory, sorry.

[stray hemlock]

True. I tend to forget about multiplayer.

[gentle rose]

don't let button hear you say that

[stray hemlock]

You need to have friends for multiplayer.

Also, multiplayer is much more stressful because nothing pauses. It feels like the days go by so fast.

[neat vigil]

Hello, I'm kind of a beginner in modding.
This is the first time I'm modding a game and I would like to know something.
So basically, I’d like to use Harmony to modify the power of my pickaxe, and I wanted to know if there is any documentation with Stardew’s functions, like the Pickaxe Do function, etc.

Sorry to disturb you all 🥲

[gentle rose]

there is not, no. I'm guessing you have some programming experience from the sound of it?

the difficult thing with modding in general is that the source code isn't intended to be used as a library so it typically isn't super well documented, most of this part of figuring things out is done via decompiling

(or by asking here for help if you can't figure it out, of course)

[neat vigil]

Oh okay, thank you 🫡
Yes, I have some programming experience, but it's only been about 2 years of making games in Unity, so I'm not a very advanced programmer.
But I am familiar with some design patterns and the basics

[gentle rose]

the most important skill in (non content pack) modding in my opinion is the ability to read code, and it's also a great way to develop that skill. I'd start with decompiling the game.

[stray hemlock]

I don't know if Harmony is the right tool for that. You generally don't want to override game methods. I know the power of the pickaxe is stored in variables (which I'm still kinda deciphering), so modifying these variables is the safer choice.

[neat vigil]

The thing is that I am feeling lost, I don’t know how to do it without harmony

[stray hemlock]

By "power", do you mean how many hits it requires to break stuff?

[neat vigil]

Yes

I'm sorry if I seem clueless or if my questions sound stupid
I don't have a lot of time to create this mod, so it adds a bit of stress

[gentle rose]

what's the time pressure?

[neat vigil]

I only have 4 days before I show the mod to some of my friends and I have a lot of ideas I want to include in it so I am working on it 24/7

[gentle rose]

as far as I can tell, the only "variables" relating to the pickaxe are a state variable (changing it is pointless, it changes all the time) and some consts, so this would require harmony like you thought

[stray hemlock]

The pickaxe has a variable of type NetInt called additionalPower. Without testing I assume that this will be what you want to target.

[gentle rose]

I think

[stray hemlock]

The method seems to use it to calculate the full power.

int damage = Math.Max(1, (int)upgradeLevel + 1) + additionalPower.Value;

[neat vigil]

I have already did it but it doesn’t work

[gentle rose]

it will work on stones but not boulders

[neat vigil]

Maybe I am using it wrong

[gentle rose]

which don't use that netfield at all

(also, you still need a way of setting that variable, it isn't static so you can't just set it once)

[heavy pewter]

using StardewValley;
using StardewModdingAPI;
using StardewValley.Mobile;

namespace ifthisdoesntworkidk
{
    public class Test : Mod
    {
        public override void Entry(IModHelper helper)
        {
            var harmony = new Harmony(this.ModManifest.UniqueID);

            harmony.Patch(
               original: AccessTools.Method(typeof(VirtualJoypad), nameof(VirtualJoypad.CheckForTapJoystickAndButtons)),
               postfix: new HarmonyMethod(typeof(Test), nameof(Test.ButtonBPressed_Postfix))
            );
        }

        private static void ButtonBPressed_Postfix(VirtualJoypad __instance)
        {
            if (__instance.buttonBHeld)
            {
                Game1.currentLocation.tapToMove.mobileKeyStates.actionButtonPressed = true;
            }
        }
    }
}```

Finally, ended up learning Harmony just for this

[gentle rose]

hey nice!

[stray hemlock]

How often does it change?

[gentle rose]

well, every time a pickaxe is created it gets a new one, so you can't just set it once for all pickaxes

as for how often they're created, at the very least whenever you get a new one from clint, but I wouldn't be surprised if more often

[stray hemlock]

Fair.

[gentle rose]

are you the one who made the virtual B button mod on nexus?

[neat vigil]

Maybe I can just check the current tool of the player and upgraded it ?

[gentle rose]

you'd end up upgrading the pickaxe every time the player selects it. I think you were right that this will need harmony

[stray hemlock]

Yeah, sorry. I just really dislike the idea of modifying game methods, so I always try to search for alternatives.

[gentle rose]

a prefix with a power ref argument might work

[neat vigil]

And you were right I think because even the wiki says that it’s better to use Harmony as a last resort

[gentle rose]

we've actually debated whether that warning is a bit too scary in the past 😅 harmony can be absolutely fine and even a better way to do things sometimes

[neat vigil]

Yes, it does, but I’m not really familiar with ref… so is a ref a real reference to a variable in the game?

[stray hemlock]

Let's convert all my Content Patcher mods to harmony then

[fading walrus]

[lucid iron]

You can just mark it as modified no?

[gentle rose]

wdym?

you still have to set it for every pickaxe

[lucid iron]

Get pickaxe increase the power only if no modData

[gentle rose]

that would still require harmony, wouldn't it?

did you mean to reply to the message about setting it too many times

[lucid iron]

Nah inventory changed is sufficient

[gentle rose]

tbh I forgor about moddata

[lucid iron]

I think the main deal is actually making sure it's not slow as hell

[gentle rose]

in this case I mean using ref int power as one of the prefix arguments, which I hope would give you a reference to the actual int that will get passed to the method

[lucid iron]

Besides that

You can just make an pickaxe upgrade

New item, higher power in data

[neat vigil]

How did you all learn about modding? I’m really fascinated by how well you understand what you’re doing

[neat vigil]

It works 🫡

[lucid iron]

It's a hobby

[gentle rose]

wait additionalpower isn't even applied to boulders

boulders are hardcoded 4 'power's

[stray hemlock]

"Learn" implies that I know what I'm doing, which I don't.

[gentle rose]

(so power == 4 => instant break)

[neat vigil]

Welcolme to the club 😭

[stray hemlock]

power is weird though. I think it's simply hardcoded as 1 when using a tool.

who.CurrentTool.DoFunction(who.currentLocation, (int)who.GetToolLocation().X, (int)who.GetToolLocation().Y, 1, who);

Oh, wait, no, it immediatly gets assigned a new value.

power = who.toolPower;

public override void DoFunction(GameLocation location, int x, int y, int power, Farmer who)
{
    base.DoFunction(location, x, y, power, who);
    power = who.toolPower;

[gentle rose]

yeah but we overrode that with their prefix

[stray hemlock]

I should probably stop using Nano to quickly look at the files.

[vernal crest]

Reading the wiki, reading the code, experimenting, and talking endlessly with other modmakers here and other discord servers lol

[neat vigil]

I decompiled the code, and since then I understand a big part of it better

Than you for your advices 😁

[hard fern]

Considering my first mod was a shitpost mod i just kinda went for it lmao. It's what i get for hanging around the modded stardew channel all the time

[narrow owl]

what mod was it?

my first mod was cuz a wanted to build a fish pond army and there was no ez way so I got sent down the generational sidequest of a lifetime

[narrow owl]

ty

[hard fern]

ahaha, it's not up anymore

[narrow owl]

what was it then?

do u have the files still?

[hard fern]

nope. lol.

[narrow owl]

then i assume it was cursed beyond human imagination?

[nimble marlin]

I thought my mod was causing compatibility issues with Fashion Sense, but then I ran the game with only FS installed and it still happened. does anyone know if this is a problem with FS, or if I'm doing something wrong?

[obtuse wigeon]

That's what usually happens, you have to also install a pack with shoes and arms that fit, FS has one available on the mod page I believe

[nimble marlin]

but I have it installed, the Player Height Variety mod from PeacefulEnd

so weird... I'm patching FarmerRenderer so I thought this was the cause but it seems not

[obtuse wigeon]

Did you manually select the FS specific shoes in the shoe tab? They're not automatically added when choosing a different farmer height sprite, but this is normal FS behaviour regardless of whether you touch farmer renderer

[nimble marlin]

no... I didnt knew I had to do this, so if im changing player height I have to change other stuff too?

[obtuse wigeon]

Yep, all have to be done manually, a tad annoying but when you have many FS packs its rare the base sprites will be used anyway

[nimble marlin]

thank you! now everything makes sense ^^

[lucid iron]

@nimble marlin while you are here I have compat ask for act of cooking

Do you think you could load your custom sprites to the content pipeline so that people can EditImage them?

[narrow owl]

how do you make a dependency required?

[autumn tide]

ooh one sec lemme paste the code

    {
      "UniqueID": "dependencymod",
      "IsRequired": true
    },

[stray hemlock]

I think IsRequired is true by default.

[narrow owl]

you do that in manifest?

[obtuse wigeon]

Yep in the manifest, under the dependacy field

Either dependency or dependencies I don't remember off the top of my head

[autumn tide]

here, I can attach a screenshot of my manifest for reference

and i will replace the update key thing dw

[narrow owl]

i think u shud maybe consider updating the unique id lol

[autumn tide]

NEVER

I SAW THT

I SAW THAT

YOU TRAITOR 💔

shakespear in 2025 ahh 🥀 💔

[autumn tide]

it makes sense in context okay 😭

[hard fern]

I you you the traitor?

[narrow owl]

exactly

[narrow owl]

explain

[autumn tide]

using 'thou' as a pronoun could be considered offensive depending on the context- i was literally quoting something a judge said to someone accused of treason 😭

[ornate trellis]

since when

tf is english anymore 💔

[autumn tide]

the elizabethan era

[ornate trellis]

anyway, reads more as a fee fi fo fum

you're jealous of my way with words

[autumn tide]

THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO /lh

ok buddy

[ornate trellis]

anyway, mods

[autumn tide]

oh yeah those are a thing

[narrow owl]

oopsie

[ornate trellis]

they sure are

[hard fern]

nah. mods arent real.

[autumn tide]

just early modern english insults

[autumn tide]

new mod idea unlocked

[worldly wadi]

How do I make seasonal tilesheets?

[brittle pasture]

if this is for maps, then if you prefix the tilesheet name with spring_ then the game will automatically swap in the season name as appropriate

you do need a Load block to load the other variants

[lucid iron]

Also it's outside maps only

[autumn tide]

helloooo how can one only edit a small portion of a vanilla PNG?

[lucid iron]

EditImage has ToArea

[worldly wadi]

Do I need to create new saves to test if they're working?

[autumn tide]

gotcha, tysm! hmmm specifically i wanna edit the sprite for an item, is there another i way i can do that?

[worldly wadi]

Bc I did all that, and is still stuck on spring, no matter the season

[lucid iron]

You can either edit image or edit data the Data/Objects entry to use new texture

New tx that you are loading

that will break existing instances of the object though

[autumn tide]

gotchaaa

maybe edit the OG springobjects thing then, ty

[brittle pasture]

hmm as long as you dont change the sprite index it should be fine right (granted this will need you to use a big ol empty sheet)

[lucid iron]

Yeah it's a tradeoff

A mod that edits everything might consider doing that though

[autumn tide]

[lucid iron]

One of the back of mind things is to ask tai about switching vanilla tweaks to that

Perf reasons

[autumn tide]

wish i could help but maps are my mortal nemesis 💔

[ornate trellis]

i believe the tilesheets need to have the season at the start of the name or something?

[brittle pasture]

I did mention that
maybe some context (code, etc.) could help

[versed moss]

I am thinking of coming back to mod make. Has there been any development in the music adding side. Like adding a victory theme to floor 120 or making custom song appear in the skull caverns

[autumn tide]

heyy I'm back, is there a way to edit an entry from another mod without directly stealing the code of that entry?

[royal stump]

it's easy enough to add new tracks, afaik (Modding:Audio), but temporary levels might be weird about editing music with the vanilla Locations/LocationContexts assets
(and there's a music map property, but it's deprecated for w/e reason)
I'd probably recommend a framework, e.g. BETAS's ChangeMusicTrack trigger action, which could set a new track when you arrive on specified floors

[royal stump]

in CP terms, you should just be able to EditData on the asset in question like normal, though you might need "Priority": "Late" or some such
https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/action-editdata.md#usage

[autumn tide]

oooh awesome tysm Esca

[royal stump]

and possibly Fields to keep the stuff you don't want to edit intact

[versed moss]

Yea the one framework from a few years ago that got me those results was the custom music one but now I have switch to content patcher

[lucid iron]

I wonder if u can play music via map edits then

[lucid iron]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/37134

Since the map of f120 mines is an actual editable map asset

The location should be undegroundmine120 or something?

[versed moss]

Thanks

[pale river]

I you you your traitor?

[stray hemlock]

The traitor was Paul.

[autumn tide]

cmon i already explained this

[pale river]

I looked it up, it's not really an insult, but disrespect. Thou is the informal version of thee. In french and german there are two different types of you, (tu/vous, du/sie), tu/du is like first name basis, there's even a friendship ceremony sort of for putting someone on "du" status. Basically it's the equivalent of calling your teacher/boss/doctor by their first name

[gentle rose]

learned a new thing today! "I thou thee, thou traitor". neat!

[autumn tide]

yup! you put it better than me lol

[autumn tide]

afaik it is considered more intimate though, but yeah

[pale river]

its like if you said mr harvey instead of dr harvey

[autumn tide]

or maybe like straight-up like a fairly intimate nickname

[gentle rose]

hey, here in the UK that's the more respectful way to address surgeons

[autumn tide]

THE BRI' ISH!!! /j

[pale river]

that's cool, it's considered really disrespectful if you did it to a professor here in canada

[gentle rose]

surgeons historically weren't doctors, and calling them "Mr." stuck. I've actually had some correct me in the past haha

[stray hemlock]

Here in Germany you'd always use "Mr." (or other gendered terms) and only append the professional title when you want to be really, really formal, as in a letter.

Like, "Mr. Dr."

[heavy pewter]

[stray hemlock]

Most people use Nexus to get their mods. You don't have to upload it there, but it should be your personal decision only.

Don't stress out about similar mods.

[narrow owl]

yes always upload if comfortable cuz you never know if someone will benefit

[stray hemlock]

I personally don't like using Nexus, but that's where the community is.

[lucid iron]

If you want you can make a release on github so that people can download from there

Nexus/no nexus is your choice

[stray hemlock]

If all else fails, convert the zip file to hex and post it here.

[lilac scaffold]

Does anyone have a solution to or know of a workaround for config files being reset / overwritten when updating a mod?

[stray hemlock]

That shouldn't happen if you don't ship your mod with config files.

[brittle pasture]

the config is saved in config.json file in the mod folder

dont ship it yeah

SMAPI will create one if it's not present

[stray hemlock]

The defaults will be taken from content.json, so no need to provide one.

[lucid iron]

If you are a C# mod you may choose to store your configs in other places

Global app data for example

[lilac scaffold]

I don't ship it, but users are stating that it gets overwritten whenever they update with Stardrop

[lilac scaffold]

is this a feature of the config api?

[uncut viper]

if you're not shipping the config with your mod and not purposely overwriting them via C# then any config being overwritten is not you or your mods fault

[urban patrol]

stardrop warns you that updating mods using it will overwrite config settings yeah

usually i think the recommended course of action is to move the config file outside of the folder, update, then drop it back in

[neat vigil]

Hello again, I would like to change the game’s music but I can’t manage to do it…. My mod doesn’t show any errors, but when I launch the game, it still plays the same default music

If someone knows what the issue is, please tell me 😭

[brittle pasture]

post the code that you have?

[lucid iron]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/APIs/Data

Global app data is a different kind of mod data to store

[neat vigil]

I am using Content Patcher for the music

[lucid iron]

But nothing stops you from using that for configs

[stray hemlock]

!json

[ocean sail]

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]

It will be next to the save files in sdv app data folder

[lilac scaffold]

gotcha. thanks for the additional context

[lucid iron]

I personally don't do this because I treat configs as transient stuff

[uncut viper]

please use the json uploader in the governor command in the future, but that is not how you target audio

[stray hemlock]

If you used the link in the bot's message you could have uploaded it there and shared the link.

[brittle pasture]

pls use the json site as requested, and that code is also not how you load/edit music with content patcher

[lucid iron]

Mod should have sensible defaults and config is for accomodations of ppl with different opinions than me

[uncut viper]

"Music/<whatever>" is not a thing

[neat vigil]

I am sorry

[brittle pasture]

[[Modding:Audio_changes]] for how to edit audio

fuk

[uncut viper]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Audio#Audio_data

[neat vigil]

thank you !

And sorry again

so the next time, if I want to upload my json, I have to hit !json ?

[stray hemlock]

Mods should have sensible defaults and ppl with different opinions than me are wrong
FTFY

[lucid iron]

Don't put words in my metaphorical mouth :)

[uncut viper]

read the governor command and follow its link to upload your json. you can just go to the same link next time, you dont need the command every time

[stray hemlock]

It's what you think though. It's the same people think when I tell them that I use Discord in light mode.

[hard fern]

What does fifty mean

[lilac scaffold]

ah makes sense. Thank you

[uncut viper]

fifty?

[hard fern]

Maybelline i

[stray hemlock]

Fixed That For You

[uncut viper]

oh, FTFY. fixed that for you

[hard fern]

Oh my god

My phone is against me

[stray hemlock]

Punish it by not charging it tonight.

[lucid iron]

If I truly feel an option is "wrong" then I wouldn't invest time supporting it

[lilac scaffold]

well, when my mod is dynamically loading content and interacting with any number of objects in the game, its better for players to have control for their own sanity sake. Auto Forager is meant to be QoL mod, not a headache of inventory management

[lucid iron]

I also have a few mods where my personal defaults is not what's in the code because I know I'm the weird one this time

[stray hemlock]

True. I was joking, sorry if that didn't come across.

[hard fern]

See i hate discord light mode but prefer word and vscode in light mode

[lucid iron]

Yeah I also had a case like that (machine control panel) and I decided the data lives not in config.json from the start

Previously I actually made it save specific so that people could have different concurrent saves with different mods n settings

So yeah it's ultimately your mod's data, store it however desired

[urban patrol]

are locations created every time a save is loaded if the "CreateOnLoad" field is true? trying to figure out if i can spawn a hardwood log in my already-existing map for the next update

[lucid iron]

You should/could just use ftm/spacecore for that

The create on load stuff doesn't recreate location that exists in the save file psure

[urban patrol]

hmm darn yeah then i'll have to

[lucid iron]

If the log isn't vital then adding it is also fine

Ppl can rtf it right

[urban patrol]

just wanted to transform this from plain cliff to minecart but make it a lil difficult

[lucid iron]

I forget if betas had a regenerate terrain feature thing

[urban patrol]

oh yeah i can use BETAS trigger action

yep

[uncut viper]

(yes)

[lucid iron]

It definitely has a clear terrain

[uncut viper]

well

ish

RegeneratePathsLayer

[lucid iron]

Yeah that should work 4 this right

[uncut viper]

i dont know what all is on the paths layer i dont make maps

[urban patrol]

this log is paths yes

[lucid iron]

You will get debris back too then

And grass

[uncut viper]

i know theres a stumps map property so if it was that it wouldnt work

[lucid iron]

Trees

[uncut viper]

RegeneratePathsLayer takes a rectangle

so you can regenerate just the stump

it just calls the vanilla function GameLocation.loadPathsLayerObjectsInArea(int x, int y, int w, int h) lol

[lucid iron]

Hm how does this stuff work anyway

I know paths lights actually just secretly edit the lights map prop

[urban patrol]

are trigger actions having been run stored in the game save? i don't want the log to come back every time someone downloads the file again

[uncut viper]

a light isnt an Object is it

yes tractions are saved

[exotic token]

can you make an event thats just a text box on a black screen?

[lucid iron]

Yeah i mean does the path stump secretly becomes map prop too

I don't know the answer

[gentle rose]

how dare

[uncut viper]

no all those get added to the maps objects or terrainFeatures lists

or largeTerrainFeatures

or resourceClumps.... i can never remmeber which is which

[urban patrol]

yes, set the viewport to 1000 1000 and use message

sidenote that viewport is weird and differs between indoors and outdoors

you may have to deal with clamp

[uncut viper]

(related to terrain features, id still love to know who is responsible for the method name GameLocation.checkForTerrainFeaturesAndObjectsButDestroyNonPlayerItems(int x, int y) because i still love it. so wordy)

[urban patrol]

is that what happens when an NPC paths through debris and stuff?

[uncut viper]

probably not, id imagine that would be GameLocation.characterDestroyObjectWithInrectangle() or GameLocation.characterTrampleTile()

as far as i can tell the one i mentioned is only used to make sure trout derby and squid derby temporary NPCs dont overwrite chests or other player-placed objects

[urban patrol]

these are so specific lol

[uncut viper]

i just like how overly descriptive and specific that one is and also because it holds the record for longest method name in the stardew codebase (last i checked anyway, which was sometime after 1.6.9)

[gentle rose]

ig they’re the only passive festivals without their own map whose npcs move

wait DO they move

[uncut viper]

they dont move, but they are actual NPCs

and not animated tiles

they just need to not destroy a chest if they happen to get placed on top of a chest

[gentle rose]

they got actual npc sprites before gil did

[uncut viper]

which means if you know where theyre meant to spawn, you couldprevent them all from spawning

you know the little red or green rectangles that show up on the map when you're trying to move or place a building or something to tell you where you are and are not allowed to place it
does any C# modder here happen to know where the drawing of those things is actually handled

[torn beacon]

CarpenterMenu.draw handles the little red and green boxes, if I read things correctly

[lucid iron]

Object.drawplacementtiles for objects and then carpentermenu.draw yep

It's not rly unified

[uncut viper]

carpentermenu my nemesis

thank you two!

[modest dagger]

Is there a way I can make a machine recipe only work if a mod is installed

[vernal crest]

Put the patch for that recipe behind a hasmod condition

[modest dagger]

yea i figured it out (sort of)

thank ye

I should separate it from my main crops file right

[vernal crest]

Up to you. No change in behaviour as far as CP is concerned regardless of what file it's in.

[modest dagger]

ah so it's just for ease of access for me then

[vernal crest]

Yep. You only need to use includes if you want to local token them or if you're using something like CMCT with an optional dependency because you need to gate the cmct check behind a hasmod first so it doesn't try to find a token from a mod that isn't installed.

[lucid iron]

HasMod include json is nice for organization

[modest dagger]

Thanks Aba but ye lost me

[lucid iron]

But what is the detail of machine rules here

It might not actually matter?

[ornate locust]

If you don't use CMCT, it probably doesn't matter.

[lucid iron]

If you have a machine rule that requires a input item that doesn't exist

Then that rule is just inert cus it never activates

[ornate locust]

Hasmod includes are just nice with Cross-Mod Compatibility Tokens becuase it won't throw (probably harmless) errors

[lucid iron]

They r kinda important errors

[modest dagger]

II'm trying now to make the item not appear if the mod isn't active even if it's part of my mod. I already have it so it won't drop and the recipe won't work

[uncut viper]

(theyre definitely not harmless)

[lucid iron]

Yeah in this scenario gating everything related to that item in 1 json included by hasmod is nice

But y'know it's ur mod ur organization

[ornate locust]

I stand corrected, didn't think they'd be harmful if you had the thing set not to activate without the mod anyway.

[uncut viper]

Content Patcher is the one that decided that a token failing is a warning and not an error

[modest dagger]

so wait I can set it up so everything I need for a compat is in it's own json and then i won't have to individually disable the things

[lucid iron]

HasMod is a special token that cp optimizes away after the first load

Cus it is invariant

[uncut viper]

until someone makes a load-mods-at-runtime mod

[ornate locust]

Yep, if you want to organize that way

[modest dagger]

yea no i'm doing that it seems way easier

[whole raptor]

Having a mod compat folder is neat, just don't forget to make a correct include, so you won't catch yourself having something that never works in your mod for a year and a half without noticing (that definitely did not not happen to me )

[ornate locust]

LOL Oh no, I've done that

got it before release anyway...

always update your includes

I used to have it in allcaps on my Trello before I started just remembering to do it, UPDATE YOUR INCLUDES

[lucid iron]

Not so fast criminal scum

[uncut viper]

probably not, it'd probably be pretty slow, performance-wise

[vernal crest]

Not so slow criminal scum

[odd ginkgo]

hey all, super niche question for events, and conditions to start events

I want an event to start in the desert if its raining in the valley. According to the modding wiki, the weather condition is for the players current location

is there anyway to add a condition for the weather is another location?

[uncut viper]

you can use the GameStateQuery precondition with the WEATHER GSQ that can take anyu location

[odd ginkgo]

time to learn haha

thank you!

[uncut viper]

GameStateQuery WEATHER Town Rain should be all it takes

maybe GameStateQuery WEATHER Town Rain Storm GreenRain if you want to cover all types of falling liquid water weathers

[lucid mulch]

I technically have, but did it at early startup to not cause problems

[uncut viper]

i meant more like a user being able to just add a mod whenever they wanted

even in the middle of the day

[modest dagger]

first mod compat for ARC is done thanks y'all

[uncut viper]

otherwise SMAPI itself fits the bill of loading mods at runtime

[lucid mulch]

isn't too hard, but would require CP to do a full rebuild of its state model because hasmod being immutable means its decisions get baked into the runtime view of the json

and making hasmod not immutable would suuuck

[uncut viper]

the thing ive never cared to put too much thought about is what the potential consequences would be for running peoples GameLaunched events at far after the actual game launch

my hunch is "not much actually" but thats about as far as my thinking ever goes with it

can probably cause problems if a mod is relying on loading before another mod to do things first, but since you cant guarantee that afaik anyway tats probably very minor consideration

[lucid mulch]

or hitting apis that have assumpsions on timing (like registering cp tokens)

[uncut viper]

well if we're already gonna be forcing CP to redo some stuff for HasMod im sure we could knock down a few more reflective barriers to make it figure out tokens again

should be super easy trust

[lucid mulch]

I mean its the exact same problem

it needs tokens ahead of time for the same reason hasmod is immutable

[odd ginkgo]

genuine thank you for this, that's a future bug fix I hadn't even thought of

[uncut viper]

in this hypothetical scenario where someone is making this mod and putting in the effort to make it work properly, i think "needs" would be a strong word to use

[lucid iron]

Yeah this hypothetical scenario is someone taking a jackhammer to content patcher and bonking it until it do what they need

[soft lance]

Hi

PLAYER_LOCATION_NAME Current BeachNightMarket

Is there a way that you can check if there is either BeachNightMarket or Beach instead of just one? I want both to be acceptable for my quest conditions

"Condition": "DATE_RANGE Winter 1 Winter 28, PLAYER_LOCATION_NAME Current BeachNightMarket, PLAYER_BASE_FISHING_LEVEL Current 4, PLAYER_HAS_CAUGHT_FISH (O){{ModID}}_Gingerfin, !PLAYER_HAS_MAIL Current {{ModID}}_QuestWillyGingerfinLetter",

[royal stump]

that query accepts multiple location names, so PLAYER_LOCATION_NAME Current Beach BeachNightMarket or some such

[soft lance]

Oh I am so silly, thank you so much!! this is very good to know : )

[royal stump]

there's also the more generic "any" query, e.g. ANY \"query 1\" \"query 2\" if needed, but that's how the multiple names will work anyway

[soft lance]

Ohh, and lastly for a friend of mine, how can you make it so for af ish to spawn with Conditions it can spawn on a custom map? Is it using like {{ModId}}MapName? Or similar?

Just curious since they have a custom map

if not totally fine

[royal stump]

I'm not super familiar with the post-1.6 fish system, but it's controlled by a section in Data/Locations for each location, so their custom location should have an entry there and include the custom fish*
https://www.stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Location_data

this tutorial might help too https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:_Adding_a_New_Fish

[soft lance]

tyytyy

[soft lance]

I know how to add them to vanilla maps

just wondered if I had to do something special for custom mod maps

[uncut viper]

from the games pov, there is no difference between a custom map and a vanilla map

it doesnt know the difference

[soft lance]

awesome ty

[soft lance]

speaking of queries..

i did for instance DATE_RANGE Winter 1 Winter 28, it errors, so I did
Winter 1 1, Winter 28 1, and that works, but only for year one

How can I make it any year? I dont want a min or max year, just between x month and x day of said month(s)

[uncut viper]

things in < > are required, things in [ ] are optional. the first year is required, the second one is not

[soft lance]

ohhh

like

[uncut viper]

Winter 1 1, Winter 28

[soft lance]

DATE_RANGE Winter 1 1 Winter 28?

ohh yeah

tyty

[soft lance]

it will keep it only in winter tho?

cause im worried if its gonna go from

Winter 1 year 1 to winter 28 year infinite

[uncut viper]

shrugs. i actually dont really understand how that query works exactly tbh after rereading it

[soft lance]

ahh oki

[royal stump]

the comma will break that, but for "any day in winter of any year", just DATE_RANGE Winter 1 1 should do it

[uncut viper]

(oops, my bad. i didnt mean to put that comma)

[soft lance]

hmmm i see, however isnt that just saying Winter 1, year 1?

[royal stump]

if not included, it assumes the whole [] [] [] part is winter 28 999999 or some such

[soft lance]

or if its only one like here it encapsulates the whole month

[vernal crest]

I had DATE_RANGE Fall 22 1 Fall 28 in a mod of mine and it stayed true after Fall 22 year 1. It never went back to false.

I think it was checking between Fall 22 Y1 and Fall 28 Y99999

[soft lance]

yeah i think cause it still weas going until fall 28 year infinite lie in incremengts

[royal stump]

...ah, then it probably isn't designed for what I assumed at a glance, yeah

so it's a single timespan from one date to another

[vernal crest]

I ended up having to do SEASON_DAY fall 22 fall 23 fall 24 fall 25 fall 26 fall 27 fall 28 so it would check those days every year

[soft lance]

Eeee yeah I feared that

but probably for the best

[royal stump]

if the goal is just a query that's true on any day in winter, SEASON winter should cover it

[soft lance]

okay, sure, whatever.

(I rran across it checking for latest mods)

[autumn tide]

I don't wanna hate on anyone (...in this scenario ..yet /j), but i agree it's so frustrating when ppl use AI to make acutal ART like cmon

[autumn tide]

REAL it's just soooo irritating

congrats on your wip mod btw!!!

[autumn fog]

like mods are a community thing why would i use a mod someone couldnt even be bothered to make a thumnail for

let alone code

[autumn fog]

ty!!!

ok the same issue still happens without any other mods

i just followed this https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:_Your_First_Content_Patcher_Pack but the item shows up as this thing??

[uncut viper]

this tutorial uses Entries when it should use Fields

[autumn fog]

oh ok

[uncut viper]

Entries practically speaking erases all the data about the item, and then fills in that newly erased item with the stuff you wrote (description and displayname in this case)

Fields will not erase anything and only change what you wrote it should change

[autumn fog]

ohh tysm!

[uncut viper]

the reason it turned into the green weeds is because since the data is erased its actually all being reset to default values, so its using the very first texture on the objects spritesheet

among other default values for things like edibility and type and whatnot

[autumn fog]

ah yea, i assumed it was something like a missing texture issue

[lucid iron]

Guys, when does our logic runs in the game? Does the game prioritize vanilla logics over our logic? Or Do they all run in the same tick?
I'm still trying to manipulate a certain vanilla logic(the one that stops button B from being fire continuously)

There's no 1 answer

i know ive been there

[karmic gust]

when you're adding an animation for a schedule do you use an NPCs internal ID for the key so it calls from their sprite sheet? like "{{ModId}}_Fable_sit"?

[finite ginkgo]

A Data/animationDescriptions entry only specifies which frames the animation uses, it does not affect spritesheets, the key/name is arbitrary, it will use whichever spritesheet your NPC currently is using

[karmic gust]

oh I see, so if I add fable_sit as the key and use that in her schedule it'll automatically pull from her sprites. do I have that right?

[finite ginkgo]

Yes

[karmic gust]

thank you!
