making-mods-general

[hard fern]

just for that im going to make an npc named CatKing with no prefix just so it conflicts with your mod specifically

[lucid iron]

deporting you from canada

[tight rivet]

anyway, apologies about that. I got too involved in prob lem solving that I should have just submitted it back to you rather than puzzle out compatability on my own

[ornate locust]

I got it fixed on my end. Checking to make sure the other Make Reals don't do something like that as well, just in case

[rustic walrus]

I was thinking that maybe on Nic's file there's no key for dating dialogue? I remember seeing marriage but not dating

[urban patrol]

did you try the patch export

[rustic walrus]

I got on the game's files too but couldn't find where the accepting bouquet dialogues are

[urban patrol]

you’re correct, i don’t have those keys, which is why you’re adding them (via EditData)

[tight rivet]

Marlon does, but appearsto be a "just make sure you load yours after Marlon"

[rustic walrus]

I think no

[tight rivet]

i did not have any others to test

[urban patrol]

do this

[hard fern]

🎄 ?

@indigo yoke

I feel Patching <BuffEffects.HasAnyValue> to also check spacecore skills would be best... but I have no clue how to accomplish that
I haven't looked at the stardew code yet, but what's so hard about patching that?

I can't recall which class BuffEffects is, to be fair

[uncut viper]

just a loop over a buff's stats (stam, mag radius, fishing level, etc) to check if any are non zero

[next plaza]

Yeah but like, does it not have a reference to anything to let us know it had spacecore skill stuff, or something?

[uncut viper]

it doesnt have access to the Buff it belongs to

if that matters

[indigo yoke]

custom spacecore buffs are tied to the custom fields of the item and I don't know how I would pull the effects off the item for it to check

[next plaza]

I think I added support for Data/Buffs for them as well? If not, I meant to.

Let me open the decompile repo and take a look

[uncut viper]

BuffEffects has no way of knowing what buff it even is

its just a grouping of stats with no identifiable parts

[rustic walrus]

It's not showing

[next plaza]

...oh that's a NetFields class?

Okay so it'll be easy to attach data to it in 1.7 at least

[pine elbow]

got it figured out

[next plaza]

I mean, we could add a custom netfield anyways

[urban patrol]

you can’t find the file, or inside the file your lines aren’t showing?

[next plaza]

It's not like SpaceCore doesn't already do that

[rustic walrus]

The lines aren't showing

[next plaza]

Might simplify some of the other stuff too

[urban patrol]

okay so that means your patches aren’t applying

[indigo yoke]

Like I am sure there are ways to do it. I just don't know how

[urban patrol]

is this inside a separate file from content.json? do you have a patch inside content.json Including this file?

capital I Include btw

[next plaza]

BuffAttributesData doesn't have CustomFields???? LAME

[lucid iron]

can unlame it for 1.6.16 thx

[rustic walrus]

Separate file, That's what I was wondering about though, should I name the file Include?

[urban patrol]

no let me explain

[indigo yoke]

like at my skill level, I most likely would go for patching a transpiler for IClickableMenu.drawToolTip. But like for blueberry or Kasey? Connecting the spacecore skill buff data to BuffEffects.HasAnyValue feels possible/plausable which is why I suggested it.

[next plaza]

@indigo yoke Here's an example of adding netfields with a harmony patch if you want to experiment: https://github.com/spacechase0/StardewValleyMods/blob/develop/framework/SpaceCore/Dungeons/DungeonImpl.cs#L60

Though, that won't help with getting the data onto BuffEffects to begin with...

[next plaza]

(It's Casey by the way)

[next plaza]

But this is already for 1.7 😔 (so I assume Pathos wants to keep CustomFields for 1.7?)

[urban patrol]

when SMAPI loads a mod it looks at two things: manifest.json and content.json. that's it. everything else, it has to be told where to find it. for separate files, this is done either through Loads or Includes. if you look at my content.json, you'll see that for every file in my mod folder, i've put a patch in content.json with the Action Include, which for JSONs, basically tells CP "hey can you please copy everything from this FromFile path and paste it right here in content.json?"

[next plaza]

(Technically that's only for Bufs not BuffAttributesData, but still)

[urban patrol]

so since you don't have a patch to Include this file, the game has no idea it exists

also i mentioned that target mimics file structure but isn’t actually—FromFile is different, it does actually need to be the file location

[indigo yoke]

wait, confused, how is that different from the custom fields we already have on buffs?

?

[next plaza]

[next plaza]

Okay I'm guessing that that means it was added to BuffAttributesData? But Pathos did that, so not entirely sure 😛

[indigo yoke]

Pathos please explainnnnn

[next plaza]

sighs

pulls up the 1.7 code

[indigo yoke]

(I am joking, don't bug pathos)

you don't need to check as well

xD

[royal stump]

@ pathos unwater your home and answer at once

[next plaza]

Too late already have the branch open

[next plaza]

I mean he might want to prioritize it not for that reason but because the PR pile keeps growing

[royal stump]

also fair

[next plaza]

Okay yeah this is for BuffAttributesData

[royal stump]

but yeah, the logic around buffAtt into BuffEffects is a bit confusing, figured it was a mislabel

[next plaza]

(I'm up to 13, not including the not-done-yet stuff that is going to be 3-4 PRs for SMAPI rather than SDV)

(And of course I'm still working on stuff for not-SMAPI, since that's literally my job)

[indigo yoke]

might be good to switch spacecore buffs then to buffatt than just buff data then once 1.7 comes along.

[next plaza]

I updated the 1.7 migration page to clarify that

[next plaza]

Yeah, one thing I want to do for 1.7 is investigate a code crime idea that would let me do structured complex fields on StardewValley.GameData stuff. Not 100% sure it will pan out though

[indigo yoke]

I encourage said code crimes

👍

[next plaza]

"structured complex fields" ie. "the whole reason stuff like ObjectExtensionData still exists" (or more specifically, stuff that isn't simple to parse like Color, Vector2, etc. - such as lists of data models)

[rustic walrus]

It works perfect now but I put the incorrect portrait key so he was like: "Yes babe I love you too >:(" Lmao

[modest dagger]

quick question it doesn't matter if i have a bunch of tilesheets does it so long as they're all properly loaded

[devout otter]

Aggressive affection.

[uncut viper]

as opposed to one single tilesheet? unless a framework requires them all in one sheet, theres no functional difference most likely for whatever it is you're doing, but there is a performance cost

[modest dagger]

well i don't intend to do 1 per sprite

but like i'd rather separate different item types if i can

[uncut viper]

the same applies. no functional difference but there is a performance cost

[modest dagger]

but how bad is the performance cost

[uncut viper]

likely not enough to worry about

[modest dagger]

okay thank you

[uncut viper]

death of a thousand cuts thing and all that

[modest dagger]

ah yea i doubt i'd have more than a dozen at worst

[rose sequoia]

is there an content tag that contains all object ? I want my character to only accept gifts on their birthday

[urban patrol]

you might be able to catch most if not all of them by using categories? not sure if anything falls outside of that

[rose sequoia]

okok

[uncut viper]

books dont have a category tag

[urban patrol]

they do have a context tag though

[rose sequoia]

does someone also know if acceptbirthdaygift has a bigger priority than rejectitem ?

[urban patrol]

book_item i think

[rose sequoia]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Dialogue

[uncut viper]

vanilla books do, modded items not guaranteed

[urban patrol]

😔 i can't think of any way to foolproof it, yeah

[hard fern]

mmm its probably possible with C# thought right?

[uncut viper]

literally anything is possible with C#

[royal stump]

conditionally editing "CanReceiveGifts": false in the NPC's data would probably make more sense, though it wouldn't limit what they can accept on the birthday
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:NPC_data#Social_features

[urban patrol]

could you use a wildcard? like item_o_*?

[uncut viper]

no

[royal stump]

(why am i cursed with a border now)

[urban patrol]

darn

[uncut viper]

you accepted your discord wrap-up gift and probably applied it without realizing thats what you were doing

[royal stump]

ah, yeah, I pressed that button again when someone mentioned it
it did nothing the last few times

[rose sequoia]

if canreceivegifts is false by default and i add this would it work ?

{
  "Action": "EditData",
  "Target": "Data/Characters/{{ModId}}_Cheval",
  "CanReceiveGifts": true,
  "Condition": "SEASON winter DAY 24"
},

i forgot entries

[royal stump]

NPC data doesn't have a "condition" there, or for the gift setting
you'd need to use Content Patcher's tokens to change true/false conditionally, e.g.

"CanReceiveGifts": "{{Query: {{Day}} = 1 AND '{{Season}}' LIKE 'Spring' }}",```
but with your NPC's birth day/season instead of those

a dynamic token would probably be clearer
https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/tokens.md#dynamic-tokens

[rose sequoia]

thanksss

[ornate locust]

alright patch export appears to indicate all the gifts are applying properly to modded dudes... success

It looks like Gil was the only guy not playing nice, but I did a pass through anyway. Noticed Morris's gifts weren't applying to all possible Morrises too

[rose sequoia]

it did work but i got stuck because of "=" and "==" diff

[dense arch]

I don't quite understand some of the dialogue commands, is there a way to have the dialogue set up such that a given line will pick 1 of 12 names out of a hat at random or do I have to use the delimiter with || to set up a sequence of 12?

[royal stump]

sorry about that, == is what C# code does, I just guessed CP would use it too

[rose sequoia]

no worries at all I'm glad it works

[urban patrol]

you can use a dynamic token with Random, but keep in mind Random is only evaluated at the start of the day

[dense arch]

that's fine, but I have no idea how to set that up
It's not jumping out to me on the dialogue modding wiki page either

[tight rivet]

congrats!

Speaking of funny errors:

[game] The social page found conflicting NPCs with name DialaSBV (one at Custom_SBV_DialaCafe {X:4 Y:8}, the other at Custom_SBV_DialaCafe {X:4 Y:8}); only the first will be shown.

uh.. why are you double loading the same npc at the same spot, game? 😄

[hard fern]

Why not

[urban patrol]

you want to look at dynamic tokens instead, in content patcher documentation

then you would write the dialogue like "Today I'll visit {{RandomNPCName}}!"

[rustic walrus]

Nic and I's result of me learning how Json works lol

[dense arch]

ooooooof, I'll fall back on that if the delimiter fails me, but thank you

[rose sequoia]

can npcs wander around in a location by themselves ? like they move from position to position but without leaving a specific location

[hard fern]

No, you need to give them a schedule

[urban patrol]

yep, look at vincent for an example of how to use square

but it can’t be all over the location

[hard fern]

I thought they were asking if the NPCs had some kind of auto roam

[urban patrol]

yeah i think we both heard different things lmao

is either of those what you meant?

[hard fern]

Square would still need to be in the schedule right

[urban patrol]

yep

[rose sequoia]

i was asking if i could place an npc in a location and make them move in a specific range

[rose sequoia]

it's ok with me

[urban patrol]

yes square can do that! you define the area they wander in

[hard fern]

That's part of their schedule then. You can just make sn npc walk back and forth the whole day if you really want lol

[reef creek]

when creating dialogue for a mod, what specific indicator can you use to put dialogue for a specific set amount of hearts with the character?

[hard fern]

[[Modding:Dialogue]]

[empty radish]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Dialogue

[reef creek]

I'm creating a new json with completely different dialogue. What i meant to ask was, for specific hearted dialogues how do i put that in that i want it for specific hearts? like instead of "Mon4": is there a way to make it dialogue that can be shown at random depending on the hearts you have with the person? i keep wanting to put "4": but I dont think that would work and the wiki doesn't really say anything about it

[rose sequoia]

probably "<location><hearts>" or "<dayOfWeek><hearts>" like "Tue2": "dialogue for the character on tuesday with 2 or more hearts",

[hard fern]

I'm still confused.

If you want to randomize dialogue you can use the random token

[reef creek]

I'm sorry for being so confusing😭 . I just wanted to know if there was a way to put it at random without location or day and still have it be set to a specific heart

[lucid iron]

The vanilla keys don't support what you want

But you can achieve it by using content patcher conditions instead

[reef creek]

how do you do that?

[lucid iron]

The idea is that you overwrite every key with your own i18n stuff instead

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/translations.md#what-else-can-i-do-with-translations

You can then control what key with tokens such as hearts https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/tokens.md#relationships

[reef creek]

thank you for the help!

[soft lance]

i am a cheeto

[tight rivet]

Congrats!

[ornate locust]

Get Dusted

[reef creek]

Ugh the sweet relief when your coding finally runs smoothly

[smoky sage]

I need some help!! 😭
My high-definition portrait (mod) can't load my winter portrait! No matter what I do, it just won't load, so I'm here to ask for advice on what to do. 😢
The high-definition portrait mod is Portraiture, with the Nexus Mods ID ending in 999.(The normal winter portrait clothing is black.Moreover, there are no errors reported in my log.😣)

[dreamy cedar]

Is there anybody on that might know if it's possible to debug sdv from Rider on Linux? Doesn't work for me from Rider, does work from vscode.

[lucid iron]

It's still bugged from what I know

[dreamy cedar]

Thx. I'm guessing that it's to do with the steam container, and if one could somehow extract it out of there and make it run with default runtimes, that might make it go.

[brittle pasture]

Portraiture uses its own system for seasonal/location portraits

you need this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/24534?tab=description

[lucid iron]

Sdv/smapi doesn't depend on steam though

I dev mods without steam open most days

[dreamy cedar]

True, it doesn't depend on steam, but it does depend on the steam container that it's shipped within. That is, it's loading runtime modules from there rather than the main dotnet location.

[smoky sage]

Hey, I made it! Thank you so much!

[tight rivet]

I have more and more respect every day for people who make CP mods compatible with each other:

[lucid mulch]

For what it's worth, stardew opts out of the steam runtime mechanisms, and the stardew install has a self contained .net install

https://steamdb.info/app/413150/config/#:~:text=Arguments-,STEAM_RUNTIME%3D0,-Launch Type

[blissful panther]

Like SinZ says, it's nothing to do with Steam. Stardew works from any directory, without Steam loaded.

As for Rider, well... right now, nope: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-112901/Rider-fails-to-attach-debugger-to-an-instance-of-SMAPI-Stardew-Valley

I've had this reported for over a year. It's at least been acknowledged, but no movement yet.

[inland rain]

Auto plots, lets you set up plots of any size and shape to be automatically tilled, fertilized, planted, and harvested as you specify per season. Will pull seeds from chests or buy them if available from the seed shop.

[woeful lintel]

Hey, I started a "getting started" guide for FF: https://leroymilo.neocities.org/tutorials/FF_getting_started some feedback would be nice.

also if anyone has trouble getting started with FF, you can point them to this

[dense arch]

Is there a way to prevent specific NPCs only from randomly visiting the resort?

[ornate trellis]

"CanVisitIsland": "FALSE", id assume

[dense arch]

where do I set that? assuming I already override the character with a mod, do I just slap this as a condition in there in the content.json?

[ornate trellis]

thats part of the Data/Characters yeah so you jsut add it like any other thing in there you change not in the appearances tho, jsut simply like when you set them to romanceable or anything basic

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:NPC_data

[gray bear]

guessing you're trying to edit this?

[dense arch]

ok, an example would really help me here, I mostly learn by mimicry
do I just set the CanVisitIsland false between action and target?

[gray bear]

this is gonna be added in addition to the already existing appearance

[ornate trellis]

itsas i said not part of appearances

its on the same level as it, not inside it

[dense arch]

I have absolutely no clue how to set this up then

[gray bear]

are you changing the conditions only?

[dense arch]

I only want to blacklist all the spouses from randomly going to the resort

[gray bear]

that's not an appearence field, as void said

[ornate trellis]

appearances dont matter then

jsut targget the npcs Data/Characters overall and set "CanVisitIsland" to false

then they wont visit at all

[dense arch]

can I just make an adhoc CP file that goes like
this and repeats for every spouse

[gray bear]

unsure if you need targetfield here

[rose sequoia]

isnt it "Target": "Data/Characters/leah" ?

[gray bear]

nope

[dense arch]

I based it off this

[ornate trellis]

p sure you need target field or else it either doesnt work or will set literally every npc to never visit

[gray bear]

    "Format": "2.8.0",
    "Changes": [
        {
            "Action": "EditData",
            "Target": "Data/Characters",
            "Fields": {
                "Maru": { 
                    "CanVisitIsland": false
                }
            }
        }
    ]
}```

you can just do this

and then add one for every bachleor

example from CP docs

[dense arch]

will the example I used above work? Because I will just copy and repeat that then

[ornate trellis]

true, saves a bit of unnecessary repeating..

[gray bear]

you can just add more fields here

[ornate trellis]

id jsut keep and test to see if it works and if it doesnt you can try beas example? up to you

Beas would be a bit less bloating tho

[dense arch]

I am not trying to sound dismissie, but bloat has ceased to be relevant a few hundred lines ago 😂

[gray bear]

are those schedules

[dense arch]

yes

that's a different file

[dense arch]

even if that is inefficient as all hell, I am still gonna keep going 😂

[ornate trellis]

uh

[gray bear]

it'll be one block but your example should work

also is that one big schedule or

[ornate trellis]

why do you have the same schedule for all days

[dense arch]

because it's the same weekday

and by setting it this way, I can ignore rain

[ornate trellis]

you could just use GOTO to simplify it

[dense arch]

yes, or I could stick with what I understand

[gray bear]

you can just do marriage_Fall then

[dense arch]

every weekday has a different schedule

[gray bear]

that'd work right?

[ornate trellis]

like, do the schedule on idk marriage_fall_4 and the rest of the week do GOTO marriage_fall_4

[ornate trellis]

i only see the same strings and positions in that screenshot

[gray bear]

yeah they all look the same

[dense arch]

yes, because it's all the same weekday

look at the dates

they are 7 apart

this is basically marriage_fall_<weekday> but because I didn't see that specified as working, I use this

[gray bear]

can't you use weekdays in the key

[ornate trellis]

yeah but what i mean is all that repeats you can just do the GOTO thing to make it less bloated for the ones that DO repeat

[dense arch]

"when not raining"

I want to middlefinger the weather though

[gray bear]

this one doesn't care for weather

[ornate trellis]

thats not marriage tho

[dense arch]

I specifically set this for only marriage

[gray bear]

hmmm

[dense arch]

anyway, I am fine with the bloat, switching to something else will just muck with my muscle memory now

this is not for release anyway, so it's fine

[ornate trellis]

i personally jsut set my npcs rain schedule to a normal schedule where they dont stay inside

[gray bear]

is marriage_season not a key

[ornate trellis]

theres also the option of randomizing but i havent done it before so idk

[dense arch]

and I completely forgot what I was doing now 🪦

[ornate trellis]

well, anyway, back to the topic of the resort

you wanted to see if your no resort visit works

and i will go make myself lunch so im gonna be afk lol

[gray bear]

i wasn't aware the marriage schedules were so limited

but yeah see if your island edit works first before duplicating

[dense arch]

ok, slight adjustment
can I set the "canvisitisland false" with something like

"Condition": "PLAYER_NPC_RELATIONSHIP Any Abigail Married",
so that it only takes when you're married?

I assume I'm gonna need separate change blocks for each NPC if I want to?

[gray bear]

canvisitisland accepts GSQ, so you don't need to

[dense arch]

I don't know my way around how to format this

[gray bear]

you already did

instead of false, put in "PLAYER_NPC_RELATIONSHIP Any Abigail Married"

CanVisitIsland is the same as a Condition field, but specific

[dense arch]

doesn't that need to be !Player then because I only want them to visit if not married?

[gray bear]

do you want abigail to visit the island when she isnt married?

[dense arch]

yes. Am I expressing this wrong? ⚰️

[gray bear]

you did before, so

it'd be "!PLAYER_NPC_RELATIONSHIP Any Abigail Married"

since you want this condition to be false

[dense arch]

that's what I said

[gray bear]

yeah you're right

and then you do that for every other romanceable

[dense arch]

ok, thank you

this would have been a lot easier to learn 20 years ago...

does someone know why the "2_*" is selected when i talk to an npc even if there are at the location and tile ?

I was basing my assumption on this behavior https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Dialogue#Location_dialogue

[gray bear]

ive no idea what 2 is reffering to

oh, day of the month! this means this dialogue appears every 2nd

do the rest load without any errors?

[rose sequoia]

no i don't see errors

[lucid iron]

spring prefix doesn't work, but I see that you got a no prefix one

Does it work if you remove the tile

[gray bear]

wiki says it does, does wiki lie

[lucid iron]

It's a bug, fixed in 1.6.16

[rose sequoia]

wait maybe i'll quit and relaunch the game completely instead of reloading the mod

[gray bear]

is it just spring or all season prefixes

[rose sequoia]

well it works now

[ornate trellis]

love it when i test an event and get totally unrelated red text from a mod i didnt do anything with and then its also partly in German in the log? i dont have any mod set to my mothertongue or anything lmao

[gray bear]

game is speaking to you, clearly

[lucid iron]

Just spring

[gray bear]

fasinating

[ornate trellis]

idk what the game wants from me

[gray bear]

mood

[ornate trellis]

the mod the error is about is NPC Map Locations

so i cant even go in her and be like can anyone tell me what this error means because its in freakin german

anyway, if i set no preconditions in an event will it jsut trigger whenever the player enters said location the event is in?

*the next time the player

[gray bear]

hmm, if its just location? yeah

[ornate trellis]

yee

[gray bear]

i think there is an event like that in game? or i misremember

...it was prolly a mod

[vernal crest]

Can't you just translate it?

[ornate trellis]

i guess i can but idk if itll be right. not that i even know if it has to do with my mod to begin with

[opaque field]

Hime, (sorry I'm nervous to just like "@" you) I was wondering if it would be okay if I add a few Sterling-related jealousy lines to my Shane mod? @orchid acorn

[ornate trellis]

its this btw https://smapi.io/log/d10122ad0c054e7db28db73da3a9fd91 is does translate to "The operation is not applicable to a file with an open area associated with a user" odd enough its only one sentence of it in german but anyway

[ornate trellis]

hime is rarely in here its probs better to @

[obtuse wigeon]

Oh thats seems like the OS returned the error when the mod did something like read or write I think

[vernal crest]

Hrmmm maybe it's saying the config.json for NPC Map Locations can't be accessed

[lucid iron]

(If u don't proper @ I don't think hime will see this)

[ornate trellis]

hm, odd

[opaque field]

I went back and added an @ will that do it? Or do I need to do something else

[obtuse wigeon]

I think that tags?

[lucid iron]

Discord won't ping for edit in @ afaik

[ornate trellis]

the only thing i really did was to test my event(as you can obviously see) with a few patch reloads (and one CJB time forward)

[obtuse wigeon]

oh nvm then (in response to the @ thing)

[lucid iron]

You can also go ask hime in sunberry channel perhaps

[opaque field]

ooh, okay ty

[vernal crest]

Is your OS language set to German void?

[ornate trellis]

yes, but this is the first time ever anything was translated

i mean, its not really impacting anything, im jsut really confused

[lucid iron]

i think its just stardrop or something holding onto config file too hard

[vernal crest]

I think it was probably just a coincidental file lock situation where the game tried to access the mod's config at a time when it was locked so the system said it wasn't available. If it doesn't happen again I think you can probably just write it off as a one time thing.

[ornate trellis]

ah, okay, yeah, ill keep my eyes peeled to see if it happens again

i Included 2 files cheval.json and julien.json, and they are almost exactly the same file, both load and edit their own schedule json files, however in the loading of the mod, content patcher doesn't load julien schedule ?? how is it possible

[hard fern]

!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.

[obtuse wigeon]

!log too, makes it easier to understand the log

[ocean sail]

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

Please share your SMAPI log file. To do so:

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

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

To use this command, type !log.

[rose sequoia]

the only error i get is Missing required fields: Format.

[iron ridge]

add it then

but also share the link here

[rose sequoia]

https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/771fa0cfa4f44e2493fb6aba557380be

[rose sequoia]

but it's a secondary file, shouldn't i only add it on the content.json ?

[hard fern]

At least you turned the intensity down lol

[gray bear]

it's like minecraft

kinda seems like the cow wants to eat u though

[rain matrix]

While I was beating up the vanilla pathfinding, they tended to animate and then creep towards me like ghosts.

[gray bear]

horrifying

[rain matrix]

You can kind of see them doing that in this vid but way worse in previous iterations

[gray bear]

feed the cow or else

[rose sequoia]

here are my files :
https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/dfb45081042642cfbbb460edcb5405f1 (julien.json)
https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/bd7da169304a499794594f55dbd8ef4f (cheval.json)

and my logs :
https://smapi.io/log/4ee3ff5f5c53475fb37cf2cb07e614e9

Why does cheval.json file loads Characters/schedules/{{ModId}}_Cheval and edits it in the logs, while julien.json does not ?

Log Info: SMAPI 4.3.2 with SDV 1.6.15 build 24356 on Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0, with 3 C# mods and 1 content packs.

[rose sequoia]

my best guess is that it has something to do with [18:04:26 TRACE game] gameMode was 'loadingMode (6)', set to 'playingGameMode (3)'. between the time cheval assets are loaded and julien assets are loaded but even if it's this, I don't know how to change it

[gray bear]

why is there both a load and an editdata

does the from file in the first block exist?

[hard fern]

You can't token loads

[gray bear]

wha

[hard fern]

Its why you see blank loads+ includes so often with npcs

[gray bear]

is schedule/julien.json a blank load?

[rose sequoia]

i tried both methods to be sure it loaded somehow

[gray bear]

what are the contents of these files

[rose sequoia]

nop its exactly the same content as for cheval

{
    "spring": "630 {{ModId}}_EnglishClub 7 7 2 square_2_2_2/1900 {{ModId}}_EnglishClub 7 7 2"
}

[gray bear]

i guess, having both isn't an issue

[rose sequoia]

but i also tried with empty files just the {}

[gray bear]

same result

[rose sequoia]

yes

[gray bear]

so one schedule works and one doesn't?

[rose sequoia]

yes

[gray bear]

try running patch summary MODID (replace with urs) in the console

[rose sequoia]

some of julien patches are loaded but never applied apparently

[gray bear]

check the names of files match, i suppose

[obtuse wigeon]

I think it thinks .EnglishClub_Julien is a file extension, theres something that didn't like that but I'm unsure whether it's been fixed or not (or I dreamed it), try replacing the . to an _

[gray bear]

works ok for other char tho

[obtuse wigeon]

Cheval's dialogue also is excluded due to the . too

      [X]     | [X]        | [ ]     | Exclusive | Adding npcs jsons (from code/npcs/cheval.json) > Load Characters/Dialogue/{{ModId}}_Cheval (=> Characters/Dialogue/Cheval.EnglishClub_Cheval) // hint: asset name may be incorrect (shouldn't include '.EnglishClub_Cheval' extension).

[gray bear]

smapi doesn't vibe with dots

which is odd since most mod id have em

like, this works

[obtuse wigeon]

Thats why modID has a token to get around the issue of dots in names, I think thats one reason for the token atleast?

[gray bear]

behold, dot

[lucid iron]

This isn't a real problem

It is just hint that became confusing now

[obtuse wigeon]

Ahh gotcha okay

[gray bear]

it's not cause of the load right?

[lucid iron]

Are you sure u want a load instead of include here?

[gray bear]

is there a difference between them?

[lucid iron]

Well yeah

One of them dumps the json content into asset

Other one is just "do all these cp patches here pls"

[gray bear]

load is what you usually use for schedules tho

is it different here? mega thonk

[rose sequoia]

[18:35:16 WARN game] Ignored unknown location 'Cheval.EnglishClub_EnglishClub' in save data, including NPC 'Cheval.EnglishClub_Cheval'.

my old room is remembered with my old LocationId now that i changed it

[hard fern]

you can't use tokens in loads, so you need to use include

[lucid iron]

Usually you use Load to initialize the asset

Then EditData to put stuff in

[gray bear]

does {{modid}} even count as a token

[lucid iron]

You have done this in hmk

Yes

[gray bear]

yeah but i also use {{modid}} in the load

[rose sequoia]

wait it does work on a new save

[hard fern]

-9+

[lucid iron]

that's the target

[gray bear]

im mostly confusion

[hard fern]

Sorry

You're loading a blank json

There's nothing actually in the Jason

[gray bear]

there are {}

[hard fern]

The problem is when someone tries to load a file when there's tokens in the Jason

[latent mauve]

If you have changed the location name, make sure you used FormerLocationNames in the location data to keep it from breaking on a save with the old location

[hard fern]

(sorry about Jason)

Im on my phone

[gray bear]

jason is really particular

[rose sequoia]

that's what I was looking for

but i changed saves so I don't need it anymore

thanks anyway

[rare orbit]

hey? what's the smapi command to force spawn npcs on the island? and how does that work for custom npcs?

[reef kelp]

Does anyone know why the Shiko mod won't let me interact with her? I can only give her gifts, but I can't talk to her.

[autumn tide]

hey! this channel's for mod making, you might wanna check out https://discord.com/channels/137344473976799233/1272025932932055121 :)

[gray bear]

that mod hasn't been updated in,,, a while

[blissful panther]

Long enough it even required PyTK and TMXL... ouch.

[gray bear]

im suprised it even runs at all

[rose sequoia]

what does this mean ?https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Dialogue#Location_dialogue:~:text=The game will check variants in this order%3A <season><key>%2C and <key>.

[gray bear]

means you can do
<season><location>_<x>_<y>

[rose sequoia]

hmmmm

is there a way to do <location>_<x>_<y>_<day_of_week>

[dense arch]

is there a way to disable this or is it hard tied to the skateboarding animation?

[hard fern]

i think it might be sam's schedule strings

[gray bear]

it is

[gray bear]

don't think so? unsure

[dense arch]

this is the current point
1700 Town 70 71 2 sam_skateboarding "Strings\schedules\Sam:marriage_sun4"/
and that's a full string, but the "sam's trying to do" is taking priority

so how do I get around that?

[gray bear]

the animation description has that

[dense arch]

I have no clue what to do with that information ⚰️

[hard fern]

sam's schedule strings dont have the Thing nvm

[gray bear]

animation calls for it

[hard fern]

but it does have this "fall_11.000": "I gotta go visit Uncle Doctor today... Great.$7",

harvey is uncle doctor....

[gray bear]

you can uhh

dyamic token it i guess

[dense arch]

I have less than zero clue of what that entails

[hard fern]

[gray bear]

change it depending on whenever sam is married or not

[hard fern]

to answer this, yes it's tied to the animation

[dense arch]

I mean generally speaking I have no issue nuking that from the game entirely

I find the animation-specific dialogue blockers to be tedious at best and worse than frustrating at worst

[gray bear]

i don't know if that'll break anything

but you can

[dense arch]

wouldn't it just call whatever dialogue sam would have on that day anyway?

[gray bear]

animation dialouge likely overrides it

[dense arch]

so what I am hearing is I nuke the entire bracket you posted up there from animation descriptions

[hard fern]

abby? "spring_4.001": "I'm just here for my annual check-up! Don't worry, I'm not preg... I mean, I'm not sick! Heh.$9"

[gray bear]

is that marriage dialouge

[dense arch]

is there a way to do that without rebuilding the xnb? if not, I'll just rebuild the xnb

[hard fern]

no

[gray bear]

do not rebuild the xnb

[dense arch]

why not?

[gray bear]

i will give you the code please i beg

[gray bear]

[dense arch]

I get that rebuilding xnbs is disliked, but this isn't a mod for release

[hard fern]

if you're not doing anything else with the animation descriptions you can just do an editdata/load on the whole thing

[gray bear]

this isn't about release, there's just no need

[hard fern]

just with sam's line gone

[urban patrol]

the reason not to repack xnb is because it can corrupt the game/save

[dense arch]

I mean if I am removing something from it, I'd like to remove the entire thing

all of the animation lines are just tedious

[urban patrol]

content patcher has safeguards in place that never touch actual game data, just access it in the content pipeline(?)

[gray bear]

if you just make a json like that you can override the og, no need for xnb-ifying

[dense arch]

well, that's a good reason

[urban patrol]

if you want to remove animation strings, you should target the animation not to call the string, not the string itself

[gray bear]

duplicate the file, remove what you don't want, load over

[dense arch]

so remove everything

[hard fern]

wow these schedule strings are really interesting

[gray bear]

just the strings u don't want

[urban patrol]

no, don’t remove everything. look at animation data and just remove the bit that calls the string

[dense arch]

for the animation descriptions, that's all of them

[gray bear]

im talking about Data/animationDescriptions

[urban patrol]

[[Modding:Schedule_data]] i think it’s here

[empty radish]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Schedule_data

[hard fern]

if you just remove everything you'll probably break something that's looking for the strings

[gray bear]

don't edit the strings, the data file

this goes on

[hard fern]

unless you go in and edit everything that calls for the strings to not do so as well

[gray bear]

this be the animation

[dense arch]

when I say everything I mean everything you posted

[hard fern]

"winter_16.001": "I'm seeing the doctor about my lungs... breathing in all that coal dust can't be good.",
"winter_16.002": "How do my lungs sound, doc? Sometimes they make a rattling sound when I exhale.", should we be worried about clint

[gray bear]

those are strings, not the animation data

[dense arch]

because that's everything I saw of the file

[urban patrol]

again, that’s not the file you need to edit

[dense arch]

I'm starting to get the impression there's a certain level of "already knows all the basics" expected in this channel to follow 🪦

[gray bear]

well i mean, making a mod without knowing the basics is a bit diffcult but

[hard fern]

we're not sure what you actually know or dont know

[urban patrol]

if you have specific questions we can answer them! but treating people like they don’t know anything can be rude

[dense arch]

I have a very rudimentary understanding of how schedule and dialogue data works, that's it

[urban patrol]

have you read the wiki page i just linked

[gray bear]

files in the Strings folder just have text, not any data

[dense arch]

we're way sidetracked here, I just wanted a way around the game calling that useless textbox, I don't even understand what you're trying to explain to me at this point

I've read the schedule data page on the wiki, that's not helpful here

[urban patrol]

and we’ve said: target Data/animationDescriptions. you can overwrite the whole entry (but that’s bad for compatibility) and edit out the bit that calls the string

[hard fern]

ok, what you want to do is nuke the whole thing, but just getting rid of it without making sure nothing else in the game needs it is just asking for things to break

[urban patrol]

if you scroll down it has a box all about animation data

[dense arch]

yeah, I have no idea how to do that

[urban patrol]

then you should review content patcher documentation i’ll link it

[dense arch]

no

[iron ridge]

then don't make a mod if you don't want to learn how to

[urban patrol]

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/tree/develop/ContentPatcher

[devout otter]

• Even if you wiped the animation dialogue, the game would still try to call for them and it would most likely give you error.
• What you need to edit is the part where the game actually call for the dialogue.
• Which is in Data/animationDescriptions.json

[dense arch]

I learned what was necessary
I try to learn only what's absolutely necessary because I am already spending way too much time on what I am doing and not playing the game

[urban patrol]

if you don’t want to learn then i can’t help you

you’ll break things if you try to just wipe them without knowing what you’re doing

[dense arch]

you're telling me to review the entire CP documentation for a single issue I have

[urban patrol]

good luck

[iron ridge]

just ignore the irrelevant parts?

you don't need to read editimage or editmap, for example

[dense arch]

how will I even know what is and isn't relevant?

[devout otter]

Kuugen, you have been doing this for a while. And when people try to teach you the basics you answer with variations of "I don't need to learn that" and "I don't want to bother learning that." Do you just expect people to handhold you forever through parts you deem unworthy of your time?

[iron ridge]

for example, the people telling you exactly what action to use

[gray bear]

you really just need EditData right now. but do read the introduction
https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide.md

[hard fern]

you'll never know if you never look at it

[autumn tide]

hellooo i am back to see if this is doable
pasted message here:

okay i am here to ask questions bc i am stupid-
i have the usual "generickey": "{{i18n: 0h.{{Random:{{Range: 1, 20}}}}}}"and basically i want a line of dialog to be able to trigger at multiple heart levels, without having duplicates of that line in my i18n file, i was thinking i might be able to use tokens for this somehow??

[gray bear]

why both Random and Range?

[dense arch]

I learned how to do schedule data, dialogue data, portrait stuff, and I thank people when they help me understand things I struggle with. What do you want from me?

[autumn tide]

oh i can do only one? i thought both were necesary

[gray bear]

uhh, lemme re-check how range works

[hard fern]

they both work, i think

random is to randomize the dialogue

[autumn tide]

ty

[hard fern]

and range is picking a random number from 1-20

[autumn tide]

mhm

[hard fern]

so using both will randomize the dialogue based on a random number?

[autumn tide]

so i can just use range then?

gotchaaa okay so i can cut out the random thing

[gray bear]

range isn't it

it outputs a list

[autumn tide]

ty :)

[gray bear]

is does right? pretty sure ive had this issue before?

[hard fern]

(i dunno?)

i think range is checking if your hearts are anywhere between 6 and 14 then

[gray bear]

just doing {{Random: numbers here}} will work

actually no

[autumn tide]

[gray bear]

there is a way to do this, i swear

[autumn tide]

hmmmm, maybe define every line by heart range and do like
"generickey": "{{i18n: npc.{{Random: 0-2, 2-4, {{Range: 1, 20}}}}}}"
..wait that makes no sense

[fading walrus]

The Content Patcher documentation is really the starting point for modding with content patcher - I'm relatively new to using it myself for smaller projects now that I've switched away from Json Assets and quite frankly, you need to read the sections of the documentation that's necessary for what you're doing to really know how to do stuff. So if someone points you in that direction, it's to help you. If you reject the help you're being given while simultaneously assuming this channel requires a minimum skill level to even ask questions, you're kinda doing yourself and your project a disservice because you're giving up before you do the stuff you need to do to get the thing working!

I'm absolutely not trying to dunk on you here or be discouraging - the docs are really detailed and it's easy to get overwhelmed while reading it if you're new to doing something - but sometimes you gotta do the prescribed reading to do the assignment. The wiki helps, the modding wiki helps, the people in here help, but the content patcher docs are like the foundational course, you know? /gen

[hard fern]

hi quill

[fading walrus]

"Try to avoid referencing university classes" challenge failed successfully /lh

Hi forsy!

[hard fern]

i almost typed quail

[gray bear]

who here has made an NPC and knows randomizing dialouge

[autumn tide]

pls i beg

[gray bear]

i am lost in the sauce, sorry claude

[hard fern]

i uh.. have(?) but i just am basic

[autumn tide]

LMAO, no worries :) thanks for trying to help!

[hard fern]

and just do random 1-5

[autumn tide]

i mean this is what i got rn:

[gray bear]

there are some keys that seems to just, do a random

[autumn tide]

but some of the i18n results are repeated so they show up for multiple hearrt levels, but that's hard to sort so

[gray bear]

i don't think i18n allows tokens in itself

[autumn tide]

mhm

the i18n key should allow tokens though, right?

[gray bear]

yesm

[autumn tide]

hmm i'm sure this must be doable somehow but i am clueless

[uncut viper]

you can always put a token in a token

[gray bear]

token ception?

[autumn tide]

uhh, for what purpose? still lost lol

[uncut viper]

things like the exact purpose you're asking about?

[autumn tide]

uhh, like how might the russian-nesting-token might be used for that?

[uncut viper]

you can put a range token inside a random token inside an i18n token. it doesn't matter. you can always put a token inside a token.

[autumn tide]

GOTCHA okay

[dense arch]

I just wanted to make some personal edits for my own game, but every day I run into more learn scope creep, and it's already outpaced the "how much time I can reasonably spend on this before the playthrough dies to running out of time" by a factor of 200% and I am not even halfway through the NPCs
speaking realistically, I should just give up entirely on this and cut my losses. 🤷 I have to go back to work until mid 2027 soon so even if I finish this, I won't get to play it.

[gray bear]

wait does {{Random:{{Range: 1, 20}}} work as you want it too?

[autumn tide]

wait so maybe something like
"2heartskey": "{{i18n: npc.{{Random: npc_2h, npc_0-2h, npc_2-4h}}.{{Range: 1, 20}}}}"

[gray bear]

oh it literally does you were right all along

im so sorry

[autumn tide]

my brain is making windows dial up noises

[gray bear]

range outputs a list and random uses

[autumn tide]

dw!

[gray bear]

you're doing great, but yeah use the tokens for i18n keys, not values

[autumn tide]

maybe i should give up and just let the values repeat

that seems easier tbh-

[gray bear]

you're going to need to make i18n lines like npc.npc_2h.1 and npc.npc_2h.2 for this, yes

and so on and so forth

[autumn tide]

...nahhh i'll just give up

[gray bear]

20 is a lot

[autumn tide]

i am writer

[gray bear]

have you written 20 of each?

[autumn tide]

...for krobus

not dwarf yet bc their tone is harder for me to get right

[urban patrol]

modding is very time consuming, it’s true! if you’re running into frustration, you can always commission a mod author to make the personal edits you want. however trying to skip the basics will ultimately cause more work and frustration for you in the long run.

[autumn tide]

HMMM mayhaps i'll put my dialog shit in a spreadsheet for navigation

[dense arch]

I should have just asked from the start what I need to know to do a custom schedule+strings mod, get told what I needed to know, and then immediately given up on that

[autumn tide]

cmonnn where's the fun in being sensible

[dense arch]

when you get to the point that you have so little time, energy and mental bandwith available for anything other than work that you are portioning that out in a schedule of multi-years instead of weeks or months, you naturally gravitate towards that 😂

[autumn tide]

BORRRRING /j

[dense arch]

unfortunately with my age and responsibilities, boring is the only available thing

[autumn tide]

i get that, but for me I just can't relate much cause I simply cannot work on tasks in a 'normal' way bc ✨ neurodivergence and disabilities ✨

modding is effectively the embodiment of scope creep lol

[dense arch]

yeah, and that is exactly why I didn't wanna go and learn all those extra things. Because I am catastrophically vulnerable to scope creep and then said scope creep leaving me with my 5-6 week break that I get roughly every 18 to 20 months, during which I can actually focus on a game, with just unfinished projects and exhaustion. 😂 This time I gave stardew another shot, enjoyed my time and since a few days ago wanted to give some personal modding a try. Terrible mistake, that last part.

I am not gonna remember any of how this works by the time I get my next break, never mind finish what I was working on now. If anything I'm grateful toward the people insisting on 'read these' that I actually realize I need to just stop and give up

[autumn tide]

well, that just means more time for other projects to mess around with :)

[dense arch]

no, not really

[autumn tide]

there's no shame in deciding not to do something

[dense arch]

I already used up twice as much time as I really had for the 'little' mod I wanted to make
my main regret is that now I don't get to finish my playthrough

[ornate locust]

Well I know how someone else did it! I referenced Eli and Dylan (and they referenced stuff Axell did). Their randomization is pretty streamlined

[gray bear]

oh?

[ornate locust]

            "Name": "WeekDayList",
            "Value": "Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat"
        },
        {
            "Name": "WeekDay",
            "Value": "{{WeekDayList |valueAt={{Query: {{Day}}%7}}}}"
        }```
If you have this in your dynamic tokens, you can do something like this and not have to list every day, for example:
```"{{WeekDay}}": "{{i18n:MV.Municipal.Dialogue.Daily.{{Random:{{Range: 1, 16}}}}}}"```

their randomization stuff let me set up my mod dialog pools how I wanted to. Didn't think I could get it working that way, but it worked out

My dialog pools don't replace after a certain amount of hearts, they're additive. So I have the normal day to day dialog in low hearts and more personal things in high hearts. And I can add to the pool based on other mods I have installed or things like Kent and Leo showing up.

so it's flexible

[gray bear]

i see, thank you!

will save this for later

[ornate locust]

would recommend, it was very nice to work with

[rose sequoia]

how can i do animations for a standing npc ?

[opaque field]

The above is also how I randomize dialogue at different locations and also different heart levels

I love it

[opaque field]

dumb question - how does one make it - daytime on a map?

my lighting forever feels really weird and dim when I use it for events

[karmic gust]

Do you mean an animation during their schedule?

[rose sequoia]

i was thinking of the kickflip animation, so yes i think

[karmic gust]

https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:_Making_a_Custom_NPC#Schedule_animations_and_string_dialogue

That tutorial should help

[rose sequoia]

thx

i keep using the basic sdv wiki instead of the modding one...

[karmic gust]

Yeah sometimes you have to check both to find more info

[autumn tide]

helloooo i got a question on my portrait template mod, does my answer make sense? sometimes i struggle with phrasing things correctly

okay more questions- how might one put a config-related ..thing under the conditions field?

god not more spam-

[gentle rose]

@outer glacier

[lucid mulch]

so thats where they put the link

[autumn tide]

oh you can @ bouncer for spam?

[gentle rose]

yup, either that or the mod role

[autumn tide]

hmm okay

[whole raptor]

There's also report in app

[lucid mulch]

I use the report app thing on the message

[autumn tide]

thought it was just the discord report thing you could use

[brittle pasture]

the screenshots are actually legible; discord filters getting sloppy smh my head

[gentle rose]

I usually do that but when there's a scam I just ping them

[lucid mulch]

though the report button is like 30 pixels away from publishing it to mod-showcase

[autumn tide]

i mean

that does sound a little funny ngl

[pine elbow]

can someone point out where the incorrect syntax is or what the error is comming from?

[gentle rose]

do the discord filters actually use OCR? I've been wondering if anyone uses that for a while now

[iron ridge]

i considered it for ES but i dont think bouncer does

[whole raptor]

Doubt it tbh

[gentle rose]

oh I meant the core discord ones, not bouncer

[iron ridge]

ohh

[lucid mulch]

missing an { for your fourth rule
also each rule should have a distinct id within the same machine, and not all be WheatToFlour

[pine elbow]

Figured it out

[brave fable]

have you added the Outdoors map property? the default is false, which has a low ambient light level

[opaque field]

no! That might, in fact remedy this

[pine elbow]

does the Modding wiki have any resouces on giving modded Items the Qualities? (Base, Silver, Gold, Iridium)

[brittle pasture]

[[Modding:Item_queries]]

[empty radish]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Item_queries

[brittle pasture]

item spawn fields are relevant in many places, including machine output (they're what the "common fields" are)

[lucid iron]

modded items are identical to vanilla items in most cases

so whatever you can do to a (O)12 also works on a (O)me.mod_fancyThing

[pine elbow]

is that where I get resources for Qualities?

[brittle pasture]

the Quality field

[rose sequoia]

is it like a common issue for npcs to be stuck on warp point for custom location ?

i added a warp in the saloon to another location, but when i tell npc to go to the location they are stuck before the warp point on the saloon

[lucid iron]

it usually means your topology is cursed in some way

or you have a non standard sized npc

[brave fable]

for the record outdoors maps have a few other differences like using the local weather and debris, spawning critters, ambient sounds, etc, so you may have some other changes than lighting

[opaque field]

Yeah I gotta fiddle with some stuff, I might just mess with the ambient lighting within the event itself

[brave fable]

i had to move my event map back layer to back1 to stop rabbits from appearing on the sky

ridiculous creatures

[calm nebula]

Are you sure that isnt normally rabbit behavior

[brave fable]

yeah it's fine to change just the ambient lighting but it does mean you won't necessarily have the appropriate light for the time of day

[lucid iron]

what if u just add huge light source

the Sun

[brave fable]

i suppose you could do that

[opaque field]

It's not a location that actually needs to like, exist, but I did get it to look right for the event time block

thankfully

[brave fable]

mine were temporary event locations as well, same differences

[opaque field]

ooh, okay good to know! 😄

Between that and the little fixes I needed to do I'm now going to torture myself with fanged portraits XD

[calm nebula]

Isn't there a rabbit in nthe.moon

[brave fable]

there is! and a very famous comic book based on it, with a tv show adaptation and an excellent stardew valley clothing mod

[karmic gust]

Is it possible to make an NPC like a single variant of something? I want to make one of mine like apple juice specifically rather than just juice broadly

[lucid iron]

hm not really rn

[soft lance]

What is the name/terminology for the books like Bait And Bobber and Woodcutter's Weekly that give you more skill in a professional (Foraging, fishing, mining, etc), or luck, etc

Whats the name of this? I dont know since im looking on the modding wiki, sorry if its a bad ask!

[lucid iron]

you can make your npc like all apple flavored thing though

is that sufficient

[lucid iron]

they are exp books i thikn

[karmic gust]

hmm, no probably not. It's the gift taste of a 2 year old so I can't imagine they'd like apple jelly or something

I'll probably just do broad juice category then

thank you!

[lucid iron]

maybe one day we can have 2 tags in a gift taste

[karmic gust]

that would be pretty neat. in the meantime will make do!

[soft lance]

yeah, just dont know where the modding page for em is : ( (cant find anything about books)

[lucid iron]

i think books r just a type of Object

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Items

Object.booksCategory
Object.skillBooksCategory

these 2

i dont know how exactly they get categorized

[soft lance]

hmm, okay, is there a mod that adds new books? i can look into implementation from there

if not i can check myself

but ty for pointing me that way!! ^^

[lucid iron]

yea theres some, tho for the new power ones they tend to be C#

what r you hoping to do exactly?

[soft lance]

ahh gotcha, im just looking to add basic logic like something vanilla, im not adding anything crazy (id like to make one book add more fish skill and another for luck)

[brave fable]

top results for books are https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/21526 and https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/23891

[lucid iron]

hrm to make an exp book

the id has to start with SkillBook_

try adding new object with SkillBook_Lucy.Mod_whatever_<skill id> id

you cant change the amount of exp tho

functionally same as a vanilla book

[soft lance]

hmm

tyty everyone i will attempt! : )

[lucid iron]

id prob just like

give player multiple book as reward to simulate

[soft lance]

probably!

[grand lantern]

i hope this is the appropriate place? i use Auto Forager and i love the mod to pieces. i have 3 mods that it doesnt pick up the eggs and such from but it does pick up other eggs from the base game so i know its possible.

the mod description says
"If you are a mod maker working on custom Forageable items, to have your item recognized by the Auto Forager, all you need to do is add the context tag "forage_item" to the item definition"

so i need to add that context tag to the item definition in the other mod codes? i figured i would make the change and leave a comment on the mod page of the change i made so if they wanted to update their mod with the line, they could? but im not sure where i would put that line either.

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/36167 this is one of the mods i want to use it on for example.

[drowsy pewter]

It would be a context tag, check out this page as it shows several different methods for adding tags! https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Context_Tags

[grand lantern]

thank you!

[karmic gust]

I'm trying to use a random pool of dialogue for my NPC but the dialogue isn't working in game. This is how I have it set up in the content file: https://smapi.io/json/none/c1b57a7ff96a46a4af7ea0aee70f74a3
and this is what's in the i18n file:
https://smapi.io/json/none/593d391ba8f14ca19e64a52602a8005a

I also don't know that it's relevant because there aren't any errors but here's the log too just in case:

[autumn tide]

i think you're missing the colon

[karmic gust]

where am I supposed to put it?

[autumn tide]

afaik it should be after random

[hard fern]

well your colon should be inside your body

[autumn tide]

im not good at i18ns tho

[hard fern]

it's not good if it's missing XD

[autumn tide]

PPFT

[karmic gust]

ahh okay let me try that, thanks!

wait is there supposed to be a space after the colon?

like Random: 1

or

Random:1

[autumn tide]

i don't think it matters

ALSO

you can use range!

[lucid iron]

Can u patch export Characters/Dialogue/{{ModId}}_Andre

[brave fable]

json parsers don't care about spaces and newlines, all non-visible formatting is technically optional

[lucid iron]

But replace ModId with the actual id

[autumn tide]

like
"Mon": "{{i18n:Andre.{{Range: 1-34}}}}",

[autumn tide]

three cheers for json parsers!!!

[brave fable]

but do format your file to be consistent and readable all the same, because you are not a json parser

[hard fern]

thats what you think

[vernal crest]

That particular line is going to look for a key that looks like Andre.1,2,3,4 etc all the way to 34.

You need the random token for it to pick just one of those 34 numbers

[soft lance]

YOUR ALIVE!!!@!11!

[autumn tide]

mostly!

i am just v tired

[karmic gust]

I did and it's just showing an empty pair of brackets

I don't know why. The other dialogue (the not randomized ones) are appearing in game

[lucid iron]

Hm your log shows that the EditData didn't apply at all

(more accurately doesn't show but u get it right)

[karmic gust]

yeah

[lucid iron]

Double check that this json is included

[karmic gust]

okay

[lucid iron]

And send new log with patch summary

[karmic gust]

should I patch summary full?

[lucid iron]

Do just ur mod

[uncut viper]

did you actually fix the missing colon?

[lucid iron]

Still looks broken yep

[karmic gust]

I just edited the Monday one to test

[uncut viper]

well they all need to be fixed

[calm nebula]

Chue has the pretty name color now

[lucid iron]

No grass

Only slither

[calm nebula]

There is absolutely no evidence for this and is completely something I just made up but I think Pathos's snake inspired the role

#making-mods-general message snake in question

[rose sequoia]

my warp tile was landing the npc on another warp tile that would land the npc back on the first warp tile

but it's fixed now

yaayyyyy

[karmic gust]

Okay, I fixed all of the colons and now it's running correctly!

May I ask why it worked only when it was fixed for all of them? Just so I understand for the future and don't make similar mistakes. My thought process was that I would ensure I got the format correctly working on Monday and then copy that to the other keys once it did, rather than redoing everything multiple times if I did it wrong again.

[uncut viper]

because broken parsing will break the patch

a patch can only be applied in its entirety or not at all

[karmic gust]

okay, so one incorrect entry can break the others as well

thank you!

[reef creek]

Does anyone have knowledge on sebastians dialogue?

im making a sebastian mod and came across some code that I dont know where it fits in the vanilla game

[vernal crest]

Do you mean you found some dialogue for him but you don't know where it happens?

[hard fern]

i might be able to answer, but what kind of code did you find?

[soft granite]

How many ticks are there in an in game day?

[lucid iron]

there are 60 ticks a second

[brave fable]

are you asking to time a buff duration? you can use -2 for the duration to last until the end of the day

[soft granite]

No, i’m asking for something that checks for whether something is true every x ticks, but didn’t know how long a tick is in terms of game time even knowing the real second/in game minute ratio

[tiny zealot]

if what you're working on concerns game time (of day), maybe it would be better to check your condition using the time changed event?

[real oyster]

can anyone recommend some good mods for multiplayer?

[soft granite]

I’m actually trying to understand someone else’s mod (random monster ambush)

[brave fable]

it's better to ask for recommendations in #modded-stardew there's some commands and links there for recs

[soft granite]

The settings for the mod are kind of unclear….

[real oyster]

tysm

[soft granite]

But 60 ticks per real life second is good

[lucid iron]

well, i think that mod was probably vibe coded...

do you want to make a similar mod for yourself?

[soft granite]

No

I would not do the same if i made such a mod, but that’s because this mod using c and not the regular json stuff

[lucid iron]

yea i was gonna say you can add monster spawning with FTM / spacecore

could also do a fairly simple C# mod if you want

[brave fable]

(they mention on their user page they ai generate code, art, writing, etc for their mods)

[lucid iron]

as long as you remember to yeet the monsters on saving you won't have the strange problem

[soft granite]

I didn’t see that, but that explains a few things. I disabled the mod and the monsters didn’t go away, and disabling the mod caused glitches. I complained to the mod author that something in the mod had caused a weird glitch where the camera froze in place unless i paused and unpaused the game repeatedly.

I guess that i will disable mods by that author; then

[hard fern]

Is it the same mod author that's been making like 2000 of these mods that don't actually do anything

[brave fable]

(if you mean the soil quality generated code mod, that one's pretty clearly by a different user based on the git repo)

[soft granite]

Oh yeah its that guy thats made like 175 mods in the past month

Didnt know

[lucid iron]

(they caused bug looks like)

[soft granite]

Yeah it was a serious bug. To make matters worse he was hesitant to consider it a bug and they suggested just to make sure all the monsters were dead before disabling the mod

To be fair most of this persons mods seem to just seem translations which wouldn’t be too hard to crank out quickly i think

[lucid iron]

I personally feel mod being cleanly uninstallable is important for sdv cus uninstalling a content patcher mod is so easy

So it is kind of shock to user if a C# mod didn't do the handling of uninstall properly

Not that I would uninstall me own mods ofc

[tight rivet]

i had a mod onc that spawned mosnters

I remember havign to place them in a list to make sure they were cleaned up before save

[royal stump]

yeah, I think monsters are still a bit weird when saved, though I haven't re-tested it recently
e.g. they'd end up at tile 0,0 the next day, or certain types would throw errors

though 1.7's monster rework/asset stuff will probably change that if it goes through

[soft granite]

It does so now, at least, after i complained. It was just that it was a very strange bug

Despite using ai the person at least understood what they were doing enough to correct errors once pointed out

Actually, maybe I just wont use it

[haughty carbon]

Does anyone know if the "Everything Dew" modpack includes a large map? With the amount of content it has, I don't think the standard size will be enough.

[brittle pasture]

you may want to ask #modded-stardew

you can also browse the mods in the collection yourself

I recommend reading up on a collection to see what you're getting into regardless

[pale river]

I couldn't tell a difference from the uncompressed version

[haughty carbon]

OK thanks

[azure raven]

can anyone guide me on this one, if thats okay. i am creating a content pack, and what i wanted is when i give robin service papers (modded item), she would respond and then prompt a yes or no question.

if i pick yes, it should do conditioning to properly show the next dialogue, when current money on hand is enough for the service fee (configurable using config.json) then show the "yes" dialogue, otherwise fallback to "insufficient fund" dialogue.

here's a minimal code in the Changes for Robin's dialogue

[gray bear]

i think you need something more complex

see: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Dialogue#Dialogue_commands for now

sorry about questioning the format, its correct

i think a query will help here

[azure raven]

i actually have put them in i18n. oddly enough that exact format works in content patcher, as per my testing, even though its not a standard json format

[azure raven]

np, so like a query condition?

[gray bear]

yeah so

for the yes response, try "$query PLAYER_CURRENT_MONEY Any 1000#You picked YES!|Sorry, you have insuffient funds"

i think you only need a minimum for that query

can also tokenize the amount with config, this is more of a base example

Player conditions wiki page

[azure raven]

yeah this one work, thanks

[gray bear]

np

might wanna make it current instead of any if you want only a single player in mp to get it

[near island]

Does anyone happen to know what triggers little emojis to show up in dialogue boxes? For example this line is getting a gold coin emoji with an e trailing it:
"I've got my own end of season tasks to finish; reports, orders, a few stern notes to suppliers who think 'late' is a personality trait.#$b#"
Specifically emoji 41 in this chart here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Multiplayer/Emojis

[gentle rose]

the gold coin is usually a $, I think?

[near island]

The only $ is the dialogue break though. And idk where the "e" is coming from.

[brave fable]

🪙 e is usually because you've missed a # divider between the dialogue and the $e command

as for e instead of b, it's possible you haven't updated the correct file with new dialogue changes

[near island]

Gotcha, thank you!

[gray bear]

why is the game yelling?

[gray bear]

should i have used to area and not from area-

oh, damn

[ornate locust]

Sorry it's hard without seeing the image

[gray bear]

im editing springobjects

[ornate locust]

Okay so yeah, you probably need ot use To Image

er, To area

You're sticking the whole image on top of a spot on a bigger image

[gray bear]

smapi was trying to find stuff that didn't exist

ty

[ornate locust]

Well technically your "to area" would be the entire image too

For what you have coded

So it didn't even notice that, it just went "32 x 16 is not the same size as the entirety of Objects_2.png" and broke there

[gray bear]

sorry smapi lmao

it works!!

this my bandaid fix solution for not having packs for every single crop mox, i just boosted saturation

it kinda works

pickles....too dark

wait

oh no

that's the wrong jelly location baahha

[blissful panther]

I wonder why nobody's made a... "More Cursed Objects" type mod.

[gentle rose]

more cursed in what way?

[blissful panther]

As in... more cursed objects.

Not more cursed objects.

[gentle rose]

tailored purple shorts but they walk around on their own?

ah, perfectly clear now

[blissful panther]

numberOfCursedObjects++;

Perfect mod name, there we go.

Cursed as in mannequins. Just more haunted, spooky things that do... things.

there’s that one cursed void chickens mod

why did the person i asked a log from just delete all their messages...

wow thanks discord for not updating

[nocturne marsh]

Apologies if I'm sending the image here since I can't send it to the other channels is there an English version of this NPC

[woeful lintel]

this is not the right place to ask this.

ask this in #modded-stardew by linking the mod instead of blurry pictures.

[stray hemlock]

Maybe that channel should be renamed to #mod-discussion so people find it easier. I wouldn't understand the purpose of that channel based on its title alone.

Is there a @ocean sail command for redirecting people to #modded-stardew?

[obtuse wigeon]

Theres a #images-and-memes channel I think you can post the images in, then you can ask in #modded-stardew with a link to the images

[nocturne marsh]

Thanks brother a more friendlier respond I'm just new here so apologies

[drowsy pewter]

"No, more cursed objects!"

[golden basin]

is there a event command that lets ignore the tile map layers? like say i want a npc to be above the front layer?

[calm nebula]

Probably not but can you use a temporarily animated sprite

[tiny zealot]

no, i had to add one to accomplish this.
it's nearly trivial to do, since NPCs have a drawOnTop field and the draw code already honors it, but you can't set it without hooking up an event command

[autumn tide]

god not more spam-

[fossil osprey]

<@&239770080378880001>

[autumn tide]

istg there has been soooo much spam as of late and idk why, like usually i don't see any

[karmic gust]

Probably trying to tempt people when they're most broke bc of the holidays

[autumn tide]

ahhh yeah that makes sense

sad cause it looks like a real account too, sucks that ppl get hacked

[tiny zealot]

i'm inclined to think there is less thought than that put into spamming

[karmic gust]

That's probably true

[autumn tide]

yeah, probably so

it's really not a very elaborate scam

wonder if it ever actually works

[tiny zealot]

anyway, modmaking!

[fossil osprey]

That reminds me of that time we discovered not all spams were bots, after one spammer posted "v" in one channel instead of its whole paragraph

[autumn tide]

oh shit-

oh yeah mods

[karmic gust]

(it does or they wouldn't do it. Cast a line 1000 times and you're bound to get a bite)

[autumn tide]

mods are a thing

hmm, how many like tile message thingies should there be in an indoor map of a house?

i know it's a matter of preference, but what do you all prefer?

[karmic gust]

I don't think there's a minimum. I think generic things likely don't need it (unless you want to add something specific) but I like to have a decent amount. Anything interesting that might show something about a character

Like I added some messages for fridges when I wanted to show something. For example, I used the line "It looks like someone meal prepped for the week," to show the NPC was organized, but I didn't do it in all the maps

[autumn tide]

oooh that's interesting!!

I'm working on a new cave for dwarf rn

[karmic gust]

Are you using the map you showed in the art channel?

[autumn tide]

so far this is what i've got:

[autumn tide]

yup! lemme send a new screenshot one sec

[karmic gust]

<@&239770080378880001>

[autumn tide]

OMFG

okay ty mods

[karmic gust]

I like it! If I was playing I would likely go check out to see if there were lines for the campfire, the food, the anvil, and the furnace

[autumn tide]

ooh okay!

[karmic gust]

Also some of the little trinkets laying around like the ring and swords

[autumn tide]

mhm!

I should prob add some for the bed too

and the pond

[karmic gust]

Maybe some of the helmets as well

[autumn tide]

the ladder one just teleports you to floor 1 of the mines, and the kitchen one opens the kitchen menu

[karmic gust]

That's cool!

[autumn tide]

oooh yes! gotta insert my elaborate Helm Lore™ somewhere

[gentle rose]

another scam?

[autumn tide]

okayy so that's adding messages for:
campfire (in my mod one of dwarf's stims is making fires, maybe allude to that?)
furnace/anvil
pond
bed
dagger beside bed
helms (Helm Lore™)
food/ingredient stashes
pickaxe, sword
lil gemstone trinkets

[autumn tide]

yep 🫠

i don't think i've actually seen any in this channel before a few days ago

hmm, any ideas for human objects dwarf might've 'found' that I could include messages for?

i could def use Action Letter for some lost human letters dwarf ...found

[karmic gust]

I usually toss old boots out of my inventory when I get new ones in a chest

Maybe those?

[autumn tide]

ooh okay! i think some fight-y gear and hoards of bombs would be good things to add, as well as maybe a few discarded items of human clothing?

[karmic gust]

Probably yeah!

[autumn tide]

could also use Action playSound for a few items for extra immersive-ness

but that might feel like too much idk

[karmic gust]

The only thing is I think you can't use that and the messages on the same tile

At least I couldn't get it to work when I tried. But I could have done it incorrectly

I didn't care too much about the message to try 😅

hmmm maybe the anvil could work as a forge AFTER a player unlocks the caldera? but I'm not sure how to implement that

[karmic gust]

That would be neat to implement

Hello guys, can someone help with this snippet?

https://github.com/kazutopi1/Harmony/blob/main/ShopAnywhere.cs

All the options in "nextPage" doesn't do anything for some reason

Smapi says no error too

Page 1 options executes properly, it's just the Page 2(nextPage) isnt

[autumn tide]

no worries! where did you find their mods?

[raw oxide]

NexusMod then i saw he had github

[autumn tide]

Gotcha, you could just message them on Nexus then, or their profile might have other instructions for contacting them :)

[raw oxide]

Ok thank you ^^

[autumn tide]

Hm, is this for a mod you're working on or just general tech support? If it's the latter, you might wanna ask here: https://discord.com/channels/137344473976799233/1272025932932055121

[heavy pewter]

[autumn tide]

Gotchaaa okay, uhh sadly I can't help with that bc the only thing i can do is CP and even there I am absolutely a novice-

[lucid iron]

The mod is licensed under MIT, you may fork it to do stuff

[raw oxide]

[raw oxide]

[autumn tide]

okayyyyy so i wanna add a human book to dwarf's cave that they're trying to study, what should the book be about?

mining maybe? it's something they might be able to use to like cross refernce using diagrams or whatever

[tiny zealot]

adding to this, i try to follow the Law of Conservation of Detail: make sure there is a reason for the message to be there. (it doesn't always have to be the same reason)
examples: give a character a little bit of personality, give player a clue or foreshadowing about something, make a little joke, etc.

[autumn tide]

hellooo can you put i18ns in other i18ns?

[tiny zealot]

define "in"

[calm nebula]

Can you please elaborate

[autumn tide]

like the inside the value of another i18n

[lucid iron]

No

[autumn tide]

aww okay

[lucid iron]

If you need someone else's i18n then you need cmct for that

[autumn tide]

thanks :)
