[compact jasper]

I just tested my quest in my game and it works! But now I've run into another unexpected issue...

I seem to remember an earlier build of this mod working where you couldn't walk past this door into Kieran's room without being friends with him. I had it set up as a friend door, I think?

But now when he leaves his door open I can just walk right in.

It's not necessarily an issue- I can see it being in-character for him that he wouldn't prevent a stranger from entering his room- but its still strange to me.

[inner harbor]

I recommend double checking the door code

[compact jasper]

Sorry, I'm trying to retrace my steps and remember things I had set up years ago.

It loooks like this is what I have in tiled, as tile data on this door.

Is there something I need to do differently to have it behave as a friendship lock door?

[lucid iron]

since u changed kieran's internal id i think you also need to change it here

Aeolian.Kieran_Kieran

no tokens allowed in tmx

[compact jasper]

So I can't just do {{Kieran}}

I seee

why would it be Aeolian.Kieran_Kieran and not just Aeolian.Kieran?

[royal stump]

right, that stuff's specific to CP's json files

[lucid iron]

if u really want tokens u can do editmap but shrug it's just 1 prop

[royal stump]

CP turns {{ModId}} into your full mod ID, so if your mod ID in the manifest is Aeolian.Kieran, then {{ModId}}_Kieran turns into the final text Aeolian.Kieran_Kieran

[compact jasper]

Ohhhhhh

now it makes sense

[lucid iron]

i guess u can decide to call ur mod Aeolian.KrobusBFF_Kieran

[compact jasper]

damn i should've thought of that

[inner harbor]

The artifact spots are appearing but nothing is in them - do I need to set the percentage chance of something to 100?

[odd ginkgo]

so let's say you want to put a query into a changeLocation during an event, so that you go to different locations depending on the weather....

actually, I think I'm overthinking this

nvrm

good old "When"

[royal stump]

...whoops, I missed the 100% chance of clay in Default
a Data/Locations artifact spot should always produce that, if nothing else comes up

[leaden olive]

When should I use Content Patcher for patching, if I'm comfortable with C#?

My current mod has different varieties of grapes. And I'm planning to generate both the ObjectData and CropData from a smaller subset of data. But for other parts or future mods, am I negatively impacting compatibility or the player by not using it?

Thanks!

[brave fable]

i've made a few mods which have both a C# component and a CP component, and no matter how much you prefer C# it's hard to argue that it's better than using CP in terms of compatibility, maintainability, and readability

there's some tasks you simply can't do with CP, like iterative or recursive patches, but for most tasks CP is more usable

CP's LocalTokens is a non-iterable way of approaching generating object and crop data by adding tokenised values to a template, for example, which might well cover your main use case

[leaden olive]

Yeah... I had some "fun" adding flavoured outputs to existing and current machines in C#. 😂 And all of the examples I found, which used CP, were a lot easier to read.

[leaden olive]

Ooh, I'll take a look at those. Essentially the current idea is to have a GrapeData object with just the custom data and then extract the different ObjectData and CropData and their various descriptions from it. Thanks!

[whole raptor]

Appearance conditions check the location of the farmer, not the NPC, right?

[cyan marsh]

ugh... good morning

[gentle rose]

are you looking at a specific time when those aren't the same?

[whole raptor]

Just got a comment about Razzy wearing a festival outfit during a festival, while she's not attending and got curious

[gentle rose]

what's your appearance code?

[dawn lily]

Hello, if I want to use a Dropbox for a quest, is it best to just use a special order? Even if I want to trigger this before the ‘special order’ board has been unlocked? Let’s say I want to trigger a quest from Spring 1 that uses a Dropbox

[rugged flax]

hello,i am a modder,someone want to modder with me? (srry my english, i am not american)

[final arch]

most of us arent 😄

[final arch]

yes. specialorders dont require a specialorderboard

you can give it via event and I think via mail for example

probably via action trigger too 🤔

[whole raptor]

Condition is just IS_EVENT festival_<bla bla date here> (assuming they were talking about Dacar's seasonals)

[royal stump]

IS_EVENT checks Game1.currentLocation for events, so it's based on the local player's location
but appearances update at certain points of NPCs' schedules, iirc? so I could see that causing inconsistent changes

The NPC rechecks this field each time they change location.
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:NPC_data#Appearance_.26_sprite
so if the player was at a festival when your NPC last changed maps, she'd be in the festival outfit

[whole raptor]

Oh, makes sense, thanks

[compact jasper]

I've been banging my head against this event error...

[Content Patcher] Ignored Kieran > Events > assets/events/events.json > Kieran Heart Event 2: error reading info. Technical details:

I don't know where in this code the error is referring to...

My beloved

[gray bear]

very good extension

[compact jasper]

i didnt know this existed

[gray bear]

also has a really nice feature for events

for some reason trying to use this with your code just didn't work

[compact jasper]

it probably means my code is seriously incorrect lol

I have not retested it

[gray bear]

oh it was the bracket thing chu said

[compact jasper]

yeah i tested in-game and it works now, except I accidentally left in a bunch of lines from the previous event (I copy and pasted because this new event had a similar structure already)

but I think i fixed it now

[gray bear]

[compact jasper]

where did you find this gif of me

[gray bear]

the secret web /j

[compact jasper]

Can I have the game send mail a set number of days after an event was viewed?

[hallow prism]

yes, but it'll require using a conversation topic

[verbal narwhal]

Hi there! I’ve stopped procrastinating (sdv + modding) the past two months and now coming back and I’ve forgotten so many basic commands/wordings of things I’ve added custom gsq with my mod to act as conditions, how again can I check in the smapi terminal if any of my custom gsq are currently true or false? I forgot the wording/command

I swear as soon as I stop engaging with English language content I also lose the ability to speak coherently in English

[tiny zealot]

debug gq "YOUR_CUSTOM_GSQ parameters"

[late bramble]

Quick question, do doors work in temporary maps?

[inland crater]

Is there a mod that uncaps the maximum character limit in the text chat in game?

[gentle rose]

are any of your logs firing?

[inland crater]

It says it does not detect my chatbox

Does anyuthing seem obviously wrong my code?

[gentle rose]

well, the approach definitely doesn't seem ideal

[inland crater]

What should I do instead?

I dont like the character cap in the chaty

[gentle rose]

did you write this yourself?

[inland crater]

I tried to uncap the chat at first, then it didn't work. Then I tried to auto send the message

But I can't figure out how to detect chatbox

[gentle rose]

I meant the code. did you write the code yourself

[inland crater]

I asked ai how to detect chatbot

Sorry, how to detect chatbox

Because I genuinely didn't know how to

[gentle rose]

that's what I thought

just fyi, ai code isn't allowed in this server, but it also just doesn't work for modding

it doesn't know what anything is actually like in the sourcecode so it makes things up

[inland crater]

I'm just trying to detect the chatbox

I don't see other mods doing that, how do I do it?

Like, are there other mods I can look into?

[gentle rose]

you need to start by decompiling the game

[compact jasper]

when I open my map in Tiled, it looks like this, which I figured is because I had to reinstall the game and everything and its no longer pointing to the vanilla assets that I had used the xnb unpacker to unpack. I thought this was fine, because the assets still look fine in the game even when I open it in Tiled and it looksl ike this

But when I edited his heart door and opened it to test in-game, his map is now just a black space with only the custom assets I drew showing up. So now I realize it actually IS important that all these tiles are pointed to an in-game file, but I forgot how to do that. 🙁

[tender bloom]

you have likely saved without the tilesheet image file

try opening up the broken tilesheet and seeing if you can point it back at the image in question

otherwise...you'll have to re-add the tilesheet and manually fix

[compact jasper]

and its OK that the tilesheet is pointed to a file on my hard drive and not in the game files itself? Because I have to use a tool to unpack it

[tender bloom]

generally it has to be in the same folder as the .tmx file

and it has to be named the same thing as the game file

[compact jasper]

OK. Yeah, its just using the vanilla tilesheets

[tender bloom]

it doesn't matter where you keep this folder but it needs to be a relative filepath internally for it to properly pull the game file when you load it in

so if your map is in a folder named MyFolder and it's named myMap.tmx

[gentle rose]

or, alternatively, I made an extension just for this!

!tilesheetinator

[ocean sail]

You can use the Tilesheetinator tiled extension to create Stardew Valley maps that work in-game without having to copy vanilla and modded tilesheets back-and-forth, rename files with a . in front of their name, edit maps only in the unpacked content folder or make symlink workarounds.

See the mod page for full installation and use instructions.

To use this command, type !tilesheetinator.

[tender bloom]

the image has to be like winter_outdoors.png and inside MyFolder

or that!!

if this is confusing perhaps the extension is easiest

[gray bear]

click magic fix tilesheet button

[gentle rose]

(having a command so I don't have to go hunt for the thread and the correct version is nice )

(why didn't I do this sooner)

[compact jasper]

Oo! Let me take alook at this

[gray bear]

(still wanna make a wiki page for helpful add-ons/website but still scared)

[inland crater]

how do I do that?

[gentle rose]

!decompile

[ocean sail]

If you want to make SMAPI mods with C#, one important resource is decompiling the game to read the game code. Here's how to do it: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/Get_Started#How_do_I_decompile_the_game_code.3F

To use this command, type !decompile.

[inland crater]

Oh, okay. Thanks.

[compact jasper]

That plugin is very helpful, thanks. I think this fixed it and now I will test in game

[gentle rose]

I imagine it will still be broken in game if it was before, you will have to fix the existing ones first and then from now on they'll be fine

[compact jasper]

It works now, thanks!

[gentle rose]

nice!

[compact jasper]

I may ahve asked this already, but I have already forgotten: is there a way to use mail to trigger an event

Player recieves mail -> player can now view an event

[tiny zealot]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Event_data#Event_preconditions
LocalMail precondition, or you can use GameStateQuery for more granular mail checks, like other players or queued for tomorrow or w/e

[compact jasper]

So would this work:

"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Data/Events/Sewer",
"Entries": {
"Aeolian.Kieran003/Friendship {{Kieran}} 750/PLAYER_HAS_SEEN_EVENT current Aeolian.Kieran003/LocalMail KieranEvent3": "```

For Kieran to be at 750 friendship + the player needed to see the previous event + the player needed to read a specific letter of mail

[whole raptor]

I think you're checking whether you've seen the same event as the one you're trying to make

[compact jasper]

YEAH MY BAD

i will fix that, but i wanted to make sure the local mail thing is correct

[merry river]

What Nomori said, also i'm not sure if the normal GSQ syntax works in the event preconditions, i usually used uhhh

wait let me check

[autumn tide]

-# i would send my code for refernce but i haven't even tested my mod in like a month

[merry river]

"{{ModID}}_PM3H/Friendship {{PeiMing}} 750/SawEvent {{ModID}}_PM2H"

also here, from the wiki!

and the local mail thing looks right if KieranEvent3 is the key for the mail required

[inland crater]

I was looking at the mouse cursor fishing mods and they did not satisfy me. They had no sensitivity bar and was set up so the bobber started in the middle to deny the possibility of a perfect catch. So I made my own mouse cursor fishing mod. Should I upload to nexus? Idk how to

[fading walrus]

There's a big 'ol button saying "Upload" in the top corner of the nexus UI when you're logged in, click that and follow the steps in the page that loads

If your mod works as intended, I don't see why you shouldn't upload it! More fish mods for everyone, I say

[inland crater]

K!

I'll need to look into phrasing and describing mods first, I persume

[lucid iron]

Just be mindful of permission stuff i suppose, though only if your mod is based on existing code

For new code it'd just be all rights reserved until you license it

[fading walrus]

(What chu said)

[inland crater]

So you mean if I post it on nexus, someone could find my code with my dll?

[lucid iron]

Having 2 mods that have same idea isn't a problem

[inland crater]

Okay great

[lucid iron]

Well anyone can decompile yes but that's not the same as having your mod be open source

[inland crater]

I see.

[lucid iron]

Here's one of my mod pages for ref https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/38677

Near the bottom I linked the source code

[inland crater]

thx

[lucid iron]

The smapi mod list thing detects that so people can find my repo easily https://smapi.io/mods#farm-computer-network

(You can also PR this list if it didn't pick it up)

[tiny zealot]

i also tend to put the github link under Mirrors

i doubt anyone finds it useful but it satisfies the brain, since i do also release my zips on there

[tiny zealot]

ugh i can't copy-paste image data between gimp and aseprite on this box because gimp is wayland and aseprite is x11 and image data does not wish to cross the boundary (i am accepting solutions at this time)

text data is fine but no pixels 😔

[rare orbit]

https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/1549ada6950f41f081620d991641fd0f
So it says no errors... but when i load in? it only show's darcy's winter outfit.

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/39520
basically it's nyapu styled portraits for this mod

i wanna also allow the option to pull the nyapu styled portraits with the elf ears

but im trying to get the base stuff working

how would i add the option to pull the elf ear portraits?

cause the linked mod has the option to make darcy an elf

[urban patrol]

why are you loading and edit imaging the same target 4 times

only your third patch is taking effect

[gray bear]

are you editing a loaded asset?

[west thunder]

Sorry for any interruptions.

[rare orbit]

oops!

yeah it seems like when i added the portraits i added the wrong portraits to pull from

[gray bear]

you don't need to load these

[rare orbit]

Chocolatte12 made the first set of code! i had to edit it tho

ahh i don't?

how should it go then??

[urban patrol]

there are two approaches

[gray bear]

im going to assume chocolate loaded the portraits

[urban patrol]

1. load your assets to the target
2. edit image the target

[gray bear]

you can straight up edit image then

[urban patrol]

yeah either is fine it’s just a matter of what you want. loading yours will make them accessible by other mods for example

[gray bear]

i don't think one of those is rec above the other? thonk

[urban patrol]

yeah they miiiight differ in performance slightly but i’m sure not significantly

[autumn tide]

oh also chocolate has their own thread here if you wanna chat with them about it! https://discord.com/channels/137344473976799233/1448830761854570618

[gray bear]

what causes folders like __MACOSX and files like .DS_Store to appear?

ive seen it in a bunch of mods and am always confused

[urban patrol]

mods created on mac (idk specifics though)

[lucid iron]

Mac

Not important for non mac, u can just delete them

[gray bear]

ah, i see

oh... chocolate isnt using the appearence system

this isnt a bad thing, just think that'd be easier really

[autumn tide]

ye macs are just bitches like that- to get zips i have to zip the files and then send them to my dad's windows computer and have him remove the extra files it adds and then send it back-

[urban patrol]

oh to have winter portraits then you’ll also have to edit data/characters target field appearance

[gray bear]

nope

[rare orbit]

so below changes it should be like this?
{
"Action": "EditImage",
"Target": "Portraits/chocolatte12.DarcysCoffeeShop_Darcy",
"FromFile": "Assets/Darcy.png"
},

same with winter and the elf variants?

[gray bear]

i fear this wouldn't work well when the author doesn't use these

[rare orbit]

yes Chocolatte's mod added winter portraits and elf portraits

[autumn tide]

-# looks around nervously in holy shit did i fuck up my portrait template

[urban patrol]

do they do it with when conditions or something? yuck we should tell them

[rare orbit]

plus too? i typically copy n paste the base code

idk if that's ok

[gray bear]

there is no appearance field

[lucid iron]

Tbh you could ask if they want to switch

[rare orbit]

cause tbh? idk what im doin.

[gray bear]

i'll hop on chocolatte thread

[urban patrol]

yeah appearances are better than when conditions

[rare orbit]

we lucky it works at all for me ;w;

[urban patrol]

there’s a tutorial as well

[gray bear]

oh no, the issue here isnt that is doesn't work

[rare orbit]

mhm i keep reading it but idk if it's my brain? but it takes a while for me to understand and process stuff

autism such a fun disorder.

[gray bear]

you can just use the same targets, but you'd need the mod id

like the literal one

[rare orbit]

ahh is the mod id correct?

[gray bear]

gotta copy it from darcy's manifest

[rare orbit]

this code is correct tho right??

[gray bear]

can you link it? 👀

[rare orbit]

like under the changes section?

[gray bear]

yeah this will work

actually maybe hold off on this

[rare orbit]

it also doesn't help i have like 2 other disorders. like the gods need to understand that one disorder is enough for a person.... NOT 3 PLUS ;W;

like buy one get one free.

[autumn tide]

nahhh you gotta get that variety pack

[urban patrol]

my advice is to talk to chocolatte about switching to the appearance system. if they don’t want to, and you do want to use it, you can null out/redirect their conditional patches and implement the appearances system yourself. if you don’t want to, you would just copy paste their patches (conditions and config included) and change the from file to your own files. but i don’t recommend that approach.

[rare orbit]

or in my case buy 1 get two free along with a side of problems lol

[autumn tide]

mentally ill deluxe edition

got the DLC

[rare orbit]

day 1 pack be like

[urban patrol]

https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:_Adding_Seasonal_Outfits_via_Appearances

[autumn tide]

[west thunder]

Should've probably had prepared my question sooner. Sorry for any suspense.

[gray bear]

i didn't want the dlc

you're good

[autumn tide]

dun dun dunnnn

[rare orbit]

i'll ask em! cause im trying my best

[lucid iron]

There's no need to apologize

[autumn tide]

but it's free!

[lucid iron]

But usually it's best to just drop ur question

[west thunder]

Fine, I'll drop it.

Any minute now.

[lucid iron]

Multiple convos happen

[west thunder]

Trying to add config for stuff into my content file.
Do tell, if I were to have the "Section" bit labeled as "Graphics" under each individual config option, will they all have Graphics above their names or will they all be categorized under a Graphics header?

"ConfigSchema": {
"Lava Lurk": {
"AllowValues": "true, false", //true, false configs will automatically become check boxes in GMCM, otherwise they become dropdowns
"Default": "true", //The default selected value from Allowed Values
"AllowBlank": false, //If the player can leave this option unselected
"Description": "Enables Lava Lurk texture.", //What it says on the tin
"Section": "Graphics" //What header this section of configs will have
},
},

I know this sounds dumb, but I'm just a fledgling.

[lucid iron]

It'll have graphics as a header yeah

[gray bear]

oh sorry blossom i just kinda

[lucid iron]

The cp docs has examples

[west thunder]

As in, for every single entry?

[gray bear]

right you did see my config right?

[rare orbit]

it's cool!

config??

[gray bear]

anything below visuals uses the visuals section

[lucid iron]

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/config.md#sections

[gray bear]

you can put as many things you want into one section

[rare orbit]

i should really use anything but notepad....but my brain cannot get other programs.

like ah yes i totally attended college.

[gray bear]

try notepad++

[rare orbit]

i should

how can i get the ui fully?

[west thunder]

So, if I want all my config options to be below a single section, I only need to mention the section in the very first option? (In your case, Color Scheme.)

[rare orbit]

any video tutorials i can reference??

written ones take me several tries at best

[gray bear]

you need to put the "Section": "Graphics" in every single config option you want below it

[lucid iron]

You can omit section if you don't care

That'd just be no heading at all

[rare orbit]

my brain lowkey feels like a ps2 trying to run Shadow the hedgehog. i can do it. but it stutters

[west thunder]

Oh, so it'll automatically get sent to whatever section it's assigned to, yeah?

[gray bear]

take ur time

[west thunder]

Good point, actually.

These're just retextures.

[gray bear]

for refrence

        "ColorScheme": {
            "AllowValues": "Vanilla, Desaturated",
            "Default": "Vanilla",
            "Section": "Visuals"
        },
        "BookStyle": {
            "AllowValues": "Vanilla, VT",
            "Default": "Vanilla",
            "Section": "Visuals"
        },```

[west thunder]

I ain't doing anything more than that.

[rare orbit]

ahh!

[west thunder]

Thanks.

[gray bear]

fair

[rare orbit]

btw? would the above help for me?

[gray bear]

nah this is configs

[rare orbit]

like to toggle on elf ears if they got elf ears?

[west thunder]

You've helped. I'll put this knowledge into whatever overcomplicated mess of a mod I'll make in the future.

[gray bear]

you can just use the appearance field for that

[rare orbit]

how would i have it auto pull based on chocolatte's config?

[gray bear]

actually yeah you're gonna need a config

[rare orbit]

how so??

[gray bear]

you'd need a framework that yoinks tokens. forgor the name

[rare orbit]

send me the framework pls when ya can

https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/734cf724ab714a6e871c4dbc8de02558

[gray bear]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/28284

[rare orbit]

does this work?

the link i sent i mean

[gray bear]

this is how you use tokens by other mods right chu?

[lucid iron]

Again i really think you should just ask if choco is willing to do some appearance cide

[rare orbit]

i did!

[gray bear]

this doesn't change the elf ear thing being a config

[rare orbit]

no answer tho

[lucid iron]

The elf ear thing is also handlable

[gray bear]

do you need CMCT for it?

[lucid iron]

Instead of having 1 target

[rare orbit]

tbh? if i knew who chocolatte12 was on discord? i'd @ them

[lucid iron]

Have <portraitasset> and <portraitasset>_elf

People can then just edit image either

[rare orbit]

but idk which person is them so we guessing

[lucid iron]

And then darcy mod config choses what target is getting used

[rare orbit]

ohhh

[latent mauve]

Before CMCT existed, I had to do something with my own config schema to let my users set a config based on if they had certain CC layouts active via other mods. But that relies on the user setting the config option in both the earlier mod and my own so that they matched.

[lucid iron]

I'm of the opinion that if you can work stuff out with the mod author you should do that instead of cmct

[latent mauve]

CMCT makes it way simpler.

[rare orbit]

im trying to go the 1st route of asking the author

[gray bear]

would the appearence thing solve this-

[rare orbit]

im learning content patcher and that's already taking alot for my brain..

[gray bear]

just realized it literally could

[rare orbit]

mood

[gray bear]

yeah appearence is hella flexible you wouldn't need to do a single config

also im sure chocolate will respond when they're online. and you, can ping them

[rare orbit]

which one is chocolatte?

[gray bear]

not saying you should right now, but pinging people in discord is easy

[rare orbit]

i wanna make sure i ping the right person

[gray bear]

u can check their messges to see their user

its chocolatte12 just fwi

[rare orbit]

ohhh

kk

should i dm or just ping?

[gray bear]

they'd likely see it when they get online

they aren't right now, so we wait

[lucid iron]

The nain nonstandard thing is just

[pine elbow]

Can someone help me with the NPC question system in events? I particularly wanted to test how this works for my mod, but every time I've tried the code, the answer box appears, but when clicked, none of the answers work. Also, I'd like one of the answers to trigger an upcoming event. Does anyone have any tips on how to do this?

[rare orbit]

what i might do? is double check my nyapu styled Fleurine mod!

[brittle pasture]

post your code, you probably made a mistake somewhere

[gray bear]

Blossom, my best advice would be to go do something else. nothing to do right now

[rare orbit]

ahh

i still might work on some art tho or game

[brittle pasture]

as for your second question you'd set a mail flag in the answer script and have your upcoming event conditioned on that

[rare orbit]

usually when i can't reach someone? i go and pratice my pixel art/work on other stuff

(Please correct me if I'm wrong, I beg you. And don't mind the question lol it's just something random for the test)

[pine elbow]

Hmmm... Okay, I'll look into that then.

[gray bear]

!json can you post your code trough here?

[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.

[latent mauve]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Event_data#Raw_data

If you look there, you'll see that your preconditions need to be separated by / and go before the :

[urban patrol]

just a heads up, we can (and should) use string IDs instead of numerical IDs now

[brittle pasture]

others have mentioned that the precondition should be part of the key, so I'll get to the question thing: you should be using quickQuestion or question fork instead of the dialogue command

the wiki page above explains all the event commands

[latent mauve]

(I'm also not sure !r works the way you're expecting in events, since that is the alias for not (!) random <number> and you didn't actually assign a number and just used raining instead.)

[pine elbow]

Okay, I understand.

[pine elbow]

Sorry, it was never advisable to ask ChatGPT for help, right?

[latent mauve]

Definitely don't ask ChatGPT, it will give you unuseable gibberish most of the time for Stardew modding.

What was your actual intent with the raining bit? Did you just want it to not trigger the event when it's raining? If so, Weather is the more appropriate precondition to use. 🙂

[brittle pasture]

it is very good at spitting out code that looks like it's correct

[latent mauve]

^ ChatGPT is good at confident incompetence.

[pine elbow]

Okay, thanks, that's right, for the sake of my patience too, I'll definitely stop using it for that.

[brittle pasture]

unfortunately, in coding, incorrect code that looks like it's correct is just as incorrect as incorrect code that doesn't

your best reference is looking at vanilla events that do what you want

[pine elbow]

I honestly don't know what I wanted to do with that !r, but thank you very much for the tip.

[pine elbow]

The worst part is that I was just browsing some events, maybe I didn't pay enough attention to them.

[latent mauve]

My suggestion is to keep the wiki page open as you look at the vanilla events, so you can identify what each thing is doing. 🙂

The modding namespace on the wiki is pretty well documented!

[pine elbow]

I understand, thank you very much! 🙂

[violet valley]

is it possible to add new emotes (the above head ones) with content patcher?

[gray bear]

there is a framework i think

[violet valley]

oh cool whats it called?

[gray bear]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/39656

button to the rescue

[violet valley]

thanks

aw man that framework is only for adding it for cutscenes and stuff, not actually using it

[gray bear]

oh! damn

[lucid iron]

Yeah button did say that's out of scope

[violet valley]

Oh

[lucid iron]

It's time 4 u to make it

[violet valley]

yeah lol

[lucid iron]

The farmer side emotes

[gray bear]

[violet valley]

I'm assuming theres not a way to add them with content patcher, no other frameworks right?

[gray bear]

nope

[violet valley]

ok

[gray bear]

is it even possible to do

[violet valley]

probably not if button said its out of scope

[gray bear]

possible and out of scope aren't mutually exclusive

[violet valley]

yeah maybe I'll try at some point idk

[brittle ledge]

That would require C# to add farmer-usable emotes, yeah. I don't recall any frameworks that make the player-use ones moddable.

[hallow prism]

a mod author may just not want to do everything that is (theme) related, it means nothing about difficulty or possibility

[lucid iron]

Out of scope just means button doesn't want to do it

You can do whatever you want in C#

[hallow prism]

especially here when the purpose of both are quite different, they just share a name

[violet valley]

yeah

[violet valley]

ok

[tender agate]

not a framework but a mod that does make villagers emote
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/33624

[gray bear]

the comic sans

[uncut viper]

you can always just editimage existing emotes but i didnt consider farmer-usable emotes to be worth the time and UI investment to make when theyre only used in multiplayer games and even in those, probably not very much

[violet valley]

ah ok

[inner harbor]

I just asked Gemini to write me an event an ny jove, it did spit out code that looks superficially accurate. But also wont work.

[gray bear]

common ai intercation

[inner harbor]

But it's so confidently incorrect

I keep doing these things expecting it to say "i needmote information" or "i dont understand"

Guess that's due to my computer interactions in the 90s, lol.

[gray bear]

confidently incorrect describes AI very well

[inner harbor]

I cannot believe ppl ask AI to find why errors are happening

It has no frikking clue

[gray bear]

it doesn't know what its doing, really, so asking it for clarification is like asking a toy that makes lights how it does that

[inner harbor]

Anyway, i know this is all common knowledge and stuff, and i shouldnt be surprised. But how can ppl rely on this to solve problems?

[gray bear]

[inner harbor]

I can see it as a useful tool for setting up thr basics (so you can fix it) or brainstorming.

[gray bear]

people have made entire research papers on why people trust AI. i dunno

[inner harbor]

But to blindly copy what it does into a document and release it?

[obtuse wigeon]

AI chat bots are programmed to be confident right? I feel like that's something I remember being talked about a little while ago in general AI discourse, it's like they took "confidence is key" to the extreame XD

[gray bear]

yeah they are made to be reassuring

and suppportive

[gentle rose]

that’s not really the issue tbh

[inner harbor]

Honestly talking to it is kind of addictivr.

Theyre confident and they flatter you constantly.

[urban patrol]

that’s why they’re so dangerous

[inner harbor]

Yeah ... i can understand how lonely ppl might latch onto it. I mightve on my long empty nights earlier this year.

(I had reddit instead, lol)

Gemini came with my new phone.

[lucid iron]

You can uninstall it i think

Though goog is push it hard yes

[devout cliff]

Having everything constantly pushing AI in my face is v annoying

[vivid pine]

hi i'm wanting to try my hand at making a stardew mod but i'm unsure of which .NET runtime i should have on visual studio, a video i was following said .NET 6.0 but its a kinda old video, is it still 6.0?

[urban patrol]

yep still 6

[vivid pine]

tysm

[lucid iron]

!startmodding

[ocean sail]

Making mods can be broadly divided into two categories:

• Content packs are formatted text files, and don't need any programming knowledge. They can add/edit NPCs, maps, new items, shops, and more. To get started, see the list of framework mods, the wiki tutorial for Content Patcher, and there might be relevant guides on the tutorial wiki.
• C# mods use programming code to change fundamental game mechanics. See getting started with C# modding.

Usually it’s easier to start with making content packs, since you don't need to learn programming.

To use this command, type !startmodding.

[lucid iron]

You can use build with net10 or whatever as long as you target net6

[vivid pine]

tysm, i just realized i completely missed the expand tutorial section on the wiki. feeling so ridiculous rn

[whole raptor]

Maybe that's why I never trusted AI bots from the beginning... I don't socialize with people who are overly confident and flatter easily

[pseudo bronze]

does anyone know where the morris dialogue is stored in the files?????? i'm trying to see all possible dialogues (already unpacked xnb) but it's not in Dialogue. niche question so no worries if nobody know im just curious !!

[whole raptor]

StringsFromMaps? Just a guess since iirc Morris is just a map tile

[pseudo bronze]

OOOH THANK YOU !!

[whole raptor]

No clue if it's right tho, if you have an example of the dialogue I can look it up

[pseudo bronze]

i found some of it in the extradialogue folder, so i'd guess you're right

[stray hemlock]

Great and important follow-up question 👍
Copilot

Never in my life has a single sentence made me feel more like I was in school.

[tame burrow]

The confidently incorrect behavior of AI is part of what makes it so scary. Imagine asking questions about building physical architecture or electrical wiring and it tells you the wrong thing. Freaky stuff

[devout cliff]

The freaky part to me is people not questioning it

Lawyers have gotten into trouble for using AI to write motions and such

And it just halucinates case precident and such out of nowhere

[tender agate]

speaking of, is deepL problematic? saw a translation modding tool released earlier and it looks really well made that uses either Google translate or deepL apis

[tender agate]

the average person I could understand, but tech literate and lawyers not questioning or double checking is scary yeah

[autumn tide]

hellooo here to distract from the convo- can other JSON files in your mod load stuff or does it have to be content.json?

[stray hemlock]

That depends which framework you are using, I think. But Content Patcher supports it.

{
    "Format": "2.8.0",
    "Changes": [
        {
            "Action": "Include",

        }
    ]

[autumn tide]

yup! cp lol, tysm :)

[autumn tide]

agreed- its tone is just kinda terrifyingly enabling of ..basically everything

[stray hemlock]

Here is the full documentation:
https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/action-include.md

I was in timeout for five minutes because I first tried to send it as a hyperlink but my level isn't high enough.

[autumn tide]

Oh, i appreciate it, but i'm familiar with the basics of how Load works! just wanted to check if it could be done in other files :)

[autumn tide]

[stray hemlock]

It's the docs for Include, not Load.

[autumn tide]

me yesterday trying to send a server link even though i'm a verified mod author and am level 100+

[autumn tide]

ohhh okay! thanks :) ik about the include stuff too lol

[stray hemlock]

Well, server links are I think illegal to prevent advertising. I understand that. Don't remember if there are explicit rules against that though.

[whole raptor]

DeepL and Google Translate are pretty solid when it comes to translating in this age, but it obviously is not perfect with context or more unique stuff, using it is good, but it still needs to be checked by a human who knows the languages involved. Also I'd say it's accuracy varies depending on the language

[autumn tide]

yeahh, but it can be annoying

[stray hemlock]

Totally understand that.

[uncut viper]

server links go against rule 5 yes

[tame burrow]

For folks not super tech inclined I can see how it happens. They're being marketed this magical new "hyper intelligent" technology and probably don't entirely understand it

Kids, too

[autumn tide]

yeah, it must read as magical in a way

[fading walrus]

Am lawyer, some lawyers I think tried using it to reduce how massively overworked they are, but.... Clearly it did not work

[devout cliff]

Not even editing it is wild to me

[autumn tide]

OH also, you're the person who made the Sen mod, right? I think i reached out to you a while ago on nexus asking if I could use your mod as inspo for my Krobus and Dwarf expansion, I checked it out and it's so sweet :)

[odd ginkgo]

Has anyone played around with using playerControl during events?

how does it... work?

[autumn tide]

No worries :) and ty!

[autumn tide]

-# i wanna know this too i'm so curious 👀

[odd ginkgo]

the Haley beach event just has playerControl haleybeach and then continues with the event

so is haleybeach a C# script?

[hard fern]

sounds like C# stuff

🤔

but im not sure

[odd ginkgo]

I was worried that might be the case

[autumn tide]

also obligatory what's your idea question 👀

[hard fern]

my (uneducated) guess is that it gives control to the player, the player picks up her bracelet, and then returning to talk to haley ends the player control and continues on with her event.

typing that out makes it sound kinda obvious.

[odd ginkgo]

the farmer and the NPC are on a beach, and island turtles are on the other side of the driftwood. I thought it would be super cute if the farmer could remove the driftwood the same way you pick up Haley's bracelet, like walk over and clear it away. Alas, I don't know if learning C# is worth a cute moment

[autumn tide]

oooh that's so cute!!

...could always just force the player to do it like a normal event

[uncut viper]

all playerControl stuff in events is hardcoded

[autumn tide]

[odd ginkgo]

I think that's how it has to go, or we just forget the driftwood idea and hustle up top to the turtles

[ornate locust]

Hardcoding strikes again

[odd ginkgo]

tbh the event is already a huge success, since I had to combine submarine boat sounds and screenflashes/glows, and use switchEvents, like some kind of professional... so maybe it's okay

switchEvents is the best thing I never discovered up until now

[autumn tide]

aa that's amazing! can't wait to see it in game if i ever play again :)

[odd ginkgo]

me: can't wait to play a whole save after spending 1 billion hours modding!

[tame burrow]

I don't think I've actually played in 2 years....

[ornate locust]

me every time

[uncut viper]

tbh itd be super easy to make available to mod authors i think

[autumn tide]

...new buttons framework??

[uncut viper]

itd barely be a framework, itd basically just take one event command

[autumn tide]

...new buttons mod??

[uncut viper]

its not on my to-do list without immediate guarantee of use, ive got other stuff on my plate currently

[odd ginkgo]

no need to put anything on your list, I've worked out a nice workaround at least - although that someday sounds sweet!

[autumn tide]

same here! no pressure whatsoever buttons

[sleek flint]

I remember that there was a mod that made it possible for it to rain in Calico Desert. Does anyone know the name of the mod, and if its code is uploaded to GitHub?

[lucid iron]

i think atra had a wip bit that did the player control

[uncut viper]

it doest count bc atra hasnt worked on it for over a year

[lucid iron]

yea i bring it up only as "it seems pretty straightforward"

[uncut viper]

so straightforward even atra could do it, i see what you're saying

Agree. Atra is dumb

[tough gorge]

Does anyone know where the joja cola sprite is? I've unpacked the xnbs and I've looked through all the images and can't find it for the life of me XD

[brittle pasture]

maps/springobjects

as are most object sprites

[tough gorge]

Thank you!

[hard fern]

it's by the treasure chest if you can't find it

[tough gorge]

Thank you! I've found ot now aha. I've been looking for the past 10 minutes

[tender bloom]

!springobjects i like to use this page as reference

[ocean sail]

Most vanilla object sprites are in the Maps/springobjects asset. See a table of springobject sprites by index.

Some newer object sprites are in TileSheets\Objects_2. You can check the entry in Data/Objects to see where its sprite is stored; SpriteIndex is the position, and Texture is the asset name (defaulting to Maps/springobjects).

To use this command, type !springobjects.

[tender bloom]

It comes with handy little index labels

(The table link above)

[tough gorge]

ooh. I didn't even know this was a thing aha. The most stardew modding was making things for fashion sense, so I haven't needed the actual in game sprites before outside of the farmer

[verbal narwhal]

is there a gsq that checks for spouse jealousy?

[autumn tide]

how come?

[brittle pasture]

don't think so

[pale river]

i want to make my npc a roommate but saw that you'd have to make an unique item for it 😔

[brittle pasture]

I mean making an item is probably the easy part

[pale river]

art is the hard part for me 😔

[autumn tide]

it's easy!

[brittle pasture]

when in doubt grab a vanilla item and hue shift it

[autumn tide]

i think theres a special item thingy for it one seccc

[calm nebula]

Mash two vanilla items together

[pale river]

wow the wafflepancake? I accept!!

[calm nebula]

Downscale a bottle of miracle whip until it's pixel art

[autumn tide]

YES I FOUND IT @pale river https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Context_tags#:~:text=propose_roommate_<NPC name>

[pale river]

wish I could just append the tag to a vanilla item but that'd probably mess with other mods maybe

[calm nebula]

#making-mods-general message

[autumn tide]

hmmmmm maybe not? it would just be a roommate proposal item for one character

[acoustic summit]

I'm not sure if anyone here is familiar, but looking for opinions. By request I'm now integrating a creature tab into stardew access's object tracker for nature in the valley, and currently the list wont update the creatures unless things like terrain features, NPCs, objects and the like change or the user presses "~". I could make it so spawning a creature also updates the list but updating the list is costly lag-wise and doing that every creature spawn / removal feels like it might not be worth it.

Alternatively I could just accept it being a bit out of sync sometimes, particularly while players are just running around in areas with less NPCs.

[lucid iron]

I'm not familiar with how stardew access works in this case but what kind of entity is Bugs?

Are they Critters or something else

[tired matrix]

for some reason my custom npc cant have children and only adopt, how do i fix this?

[ornate locust]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:NPC_data#Social_features
There's settings for adoption and asking for kids in NPC data here

[acoustic summit]

They are something else, not derived from any stardew class. I managed to get the mod tracking and including them in a new tab through much trial and error though .

[ornate locust]

I imagine "SpouseAdopts" is the one you want

[tired matrix]

but if i put he adopts he cant hae children then?

ill just take adopts off then

[ornate locust]

Yeah, if null, it does adoption for same gender and false for opposite gender, so taking it off should do what you want

[acoustic summit]

Could also make it a config option if you'd like both option

[lucid iron]

Yeah i was thinking if it was like a character on the location.characters netlist then it'd be easy

[tired matrix]

also after marrying the kiss anymations turned out wrong, is there a way to fix it?

she's kissing his ass

literally

[acoustic summit]

I'm not too concerned with the difficulty of implementing the updating, more so with the cost of it.

[uncut viper]

why is adding something to a list so costly

[acoustic summit]

The way stardew access goes each time the list updates it goes through the whole breadth based search again.

Theres no methods for just adding one thing to it

[brave fable]

bureaucracy, mainly

[lucid iron]

Well that seems like a reasonable api request

It's probably better to ask than to do smth that is maybe not great

[tired matrix]

like his sprite is on 28

[tired matrix]

fixed im stupid

[acoustic summit]

Yeee I'll ask, why not Maybe even a method that re-searched a specific category instead of re-searching everything. For now though I might just leave it up to the user to click "~" when they want it synced.

[pure cedar]

Hi everyone reading, so i've had this idea for a custom npc, but i've been stuck in the planning for months now, so... how would guys make an npc whose story depends on the player choosing either the cc or the joja route? and is it possible to make it a content patcher mod or should i go the c# way?

[urban patrol]

!npc you can definitely do that! see the below resources for creating an NPC, and when you have a handle on the basics, check out mail flags and CP When conditions

[ocean sail]

Creating a Custom NPC

Keep in mind that making NPCs is a complex process that requires learning many different aspects of Stardew modding.
Here are a few links that can help get you started on all that you need to know:

• Tiakall has a great tutorial on making a custom NPC for 1.6.

• NPCs no longer use dispositions, check the wiki page for the new NPC data.

• Feel free to jump into the https://discord.com/channels/137344473976799233/1277457201077813280 thread for more interactive feedback and help!

• Fireredlily has a WIP NPC Builder Please do report any errors you get with it into the NPC thread!

To use this command, type !npc.

[tender bloom]

I would definitely recommend content patcher

at least until you find something that really justifies C# beyond what common frameworks can do

[pure cedar]

i'll be checking that, then

[pale river]

how do i check coordinates in the game?

[brave fable]

C# is only recommended for adding very unique behaviours that don't exist for other characters, like having them catch fire on rainy days or yell every 10 minutes

[tender bloom]

install debug mode mod

[brave fable]

Debug Mode is useful for that, otherwise use debug ppp in console to show the current player tile coordinates

[tender bloom]

or debug ppp

ah jinx

i'm lazy so i use debug ppp most of the time but when i remember it's nice to have debug mode cause it has a couple other features beyond just coords

i think it also gives map name?

[brave fable]

it does a lot but best is it shows coordinates for the hovered tile

[tender bloom]

yeah, unwalkable tiles are more annoying with ppp

you can still do them with debug warp but it's more typing and fiddling

[hard fern]

What is ppp mean.

[tender bloom]

player position....popcorn?

i forget

[brave fable]

it's short for print player position

[hard fern]

Ah

No popcorn unfortunately

[tender bloom]

no popcorn

[tired matrix]

Does anyone have a link with sve map tiles?

[urban patrol]

no, that would be mod piracy

they're inside the SVE mod folder

[lucid mulch]

SVE is MIT licensed https://github.com/FlashShifter/StardewValleyExpanded/tree/master/Stardew Valley Expanded/[CP] Stardew Valley Expanded

[urban patrol]

oh nice!

[brave fable]

on the other hand, the nexusmods page permissions mention

You are not allowed to upload this file to other sites under any circumstances

even if the github license explicitly applies to the entire repo, including art and content

[heavy pewter]

Does anyone know which class contains the method for crop/forage pickup? I want to patch it to 2x faster animation

[lucid mulch]

Gamelocation, Object, Forage or Crop probably

Small risk of being on farmer itself

Is it something Faster animations already solves?

[brave fable]

Crop.harvest() calls Game1.player.animateOnce() for crop pickup

[lucid mulch]

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/FastAnimations/Handlers/HarvestHandler.cs

[heavy pewter]

Yeah, but i want it simple and fixed, also, its for personal use for my next playthrough

[gray bear]

I know BETA's allow you to remove a certain terrain feature out of one map, but im going to assume there isn't a way to deal this will all maps that doesn't require multiple actions. yes i hate the little bushes that much

actually can you remove only the small bushes using this trigger action?
https://stardew.button.gay/docs/betas/tractions#ClearTerrainFeatures

desc says it matches with C# class type for the features but i don't know what those are

[noble ermine]

Does anyone know the name of the sound effect when character kisses?

[final arch]

dwop

very obvious

[noble ermine]

[noble ermine]

Thank you

[noble ermine]

Oh and btw, what is the name of the sound effect when right-click on the bushes

[vernal crest]

You should be able to find things like that by using debug logSounds in the SMAPI console and then shaking a bush in game. It will display the name of the sound played in the console.

[opal hull]

Quick question: what syntax to I use for a when condition that checks one of another mod's configs? Google isn't helping, as usual

*do I use

[vernal crest]

You need to use Cross-Mod Compatibility Tokens: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/28284

[opal hull]

Thank you!

[noble ermine]

Thanks, I'll go and try

[royal stump]

• I don't think there's any way to use that on every map automatically, no. Reset Terrain Features can, though it's player-side. Destroyable Bushes might also work, if you want to hit them with axes instead.
• The Bush example should remove any kind of "real" interactive bush (i.e. bushes that aren't drawn directly on a map). Everything in Tilesheets/bushes shares that same C# class, including tea bushes, so be careful with that on farms/ginger island/etc.

more technically, the small bushes are just Bush with a type number set to 0, medium are 1, etc
so the command doesn't seem to support discriminating there

(& tbc I misread at first, RTF doesn't let you target bush sizes either)

[cedar turtle]

Would it be possible to give me a rundown on the pros and cons on using CP or calcifer for furniture?
I'm playing with the idea of making rugs and tapestries, and from what little I heard the other day, CP would be better?
The features furniture framework would have aren't really necessary in my case I reckon so that's out

[lucid iron]

Calcifer isn't an or here

You still have to make furniture exist

This is just editing data/furniture

[gaunt orbit]

Calcifer isn't a content pack framework, it's a feature library framework. If you were using it, you'd still use cp or c# to edit the furniture data

[cedar turtle]

Yeah, it was more a "CP only or CP with Calcifer" question.
Sorry, could have phrased myself better

[lucid iron]

You can make it so that calcifer is optional req

Cus all you need rn is the catalogue

[cedar turtle]

So basically in a sense of
if you got calcifer, it gets its own catalogue; if not, then vanilla catalogue?

[lucid iron]

Yep that's possible

Either way make ur furniture exist in regular catalogue first, then u can use s dynamic token to change the random sale field

[gray bear]

so the only way to remove the type 0 bushes is to chop them myself or i guess do a map edit but that'll be compability nightmare

[violet valley]

Is it possible to add TV channels with content patcher, or do I need to use C# or a framework like Custom TV Channel?

[gray bear]

i'd imagine i can do C# crimes to remove smol bush but uhh

[gray bear]

there's this: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/24278

[violet valley]

ok

[gray bear]

mods that add channels use this exclusively

i'd imagine you can do it with C# without the framework but whats the point when it exists

[violet valley]

yeah

ok thanks

[lucid iron]

@sleek flint is making another tv framework with more features

[gray bear]

hey chu u know anything about bushes

[lucid iron]

They exist

[gray bear]

i want to yeet all the small ones but there's no existing system so i jsut, chomp

[lucid iron]

Well yeah this sounds like C# homework

Destroyable bushes is probably closest

[gray bear]

maybe i'll decompile game and stare

[autumn tide]

okay i have an idea- how easy/difficult is custom companions to use? i wanna give krobus a void chicken to chill in the sewers with them

..also if anyone has any cc stuff can i yoink your code-

[ornate trellis]

its p easy in my opinion if you just want something to walk around a bit

[gray bear]

yeah its a very approachable framework

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/10134

this mod adds shadow puppies in the sewer

[autumn tide]

oooh okay! i just want them to walk around a little, maybe be pettable, and maybe be added to the farm if roommated???

[autumn tide]

awww :)

[gray bear]

adding to the farm is slightly more complex i think

[autumn tide]

i was thinking either do the fancy cc shit there or just straight up add them to the coop as a normal farm animal

[gray bear]

you can add custom pets now

[autumn tide]

!cc

[ocean sail]

Custom Companions (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/8626) is a framework for creating custom entities such as animals, creatures, and monsters that can be spawned on maps or follow you around. See the mod’s in-depth wiki https://github.com/Floogen/CustomCompanions/wiki for details on how to create content packs for it.

To use this command, type !cc.

[autumn tide]

eugh more spam-

[gray bear]

<@&239770080378880001>

[autumn tide]

@outer glacier

[gray bear]

oh wait i just ponged all juni's

sorry

[cinder orchid]

👋

[autumn tide]

wait should we @ bouncer or junimos?

[gray bear]

bouncer sends them a message

[autumn tide]

hey!

[autumn tide]

oh?

[gray bear]

i just pinged everyone with the junimo role

[autumn tide]

[gray bear]

which seems more annoying than helpful

[ornate trellis]

i just do the right click report thing

[gray bear]

also works

[autumn tide]

ooh?

[ornate trellis]

i never write in the box tho since it feels self explanatory...(mods lemme know if i should type something when reporting cuz idk lol)

[gray bear]

yeah 1.6 added more pets

so you can just add more

[autumn tide]

ooh okay! sooo i can just make a custom void chicken pet and add them to the farm if krobus moves in?

[gray bear]

can make it so you need a specific amount of hearts with kroby to make it available

idk if u can just add em

[royal stump]

if you know where they are, you can target the specific tiles (with BETAS), ig
but yeah, no area-of-effect "remove a specific size of bush" methods exist in frameworks, afaik

[autumn tide]

OH yeah i was think of like making that pet like.. exclusively if krobus is roommated? is that possible?

[gray bear]

they are added to Marnie's pet shop so you can make a condition for it

dunno about just adding a pet to the player, that'd be a trigger action and idk if one exists

[autumn tide]

i was literally just about to ask that okay wow

lemme check betas

hmm doesn't look like it :(

anddd nothing in vanilla either :(

[ornate trellis]

you can make it so krobus is like hey for idk reasons the chicks are handled by marnie so you need to get it there and make it for free or use uhh livestock bazaar to make a pet shop in the sewer like...as if farmer gotta get them and carry them home or something?

[autumn tide]

hmmm that's a good idea!

[ornate trellis]

damn, all these new buildings getting released makes me want to look at the stalk chu and i tried way back to generate batteries...i keep forgetting where 2we left off there

[woeful lintel]

hey @sleek flint, I heard that you're making a TV framework, I'm interested in helping implementing compatibility with the Furniture Framework, because it has a feature to change the draw depth of the TV screen and I'm pretty sure that it won't apply to custom TV channels.

[autumn tide]

okay what should i name kroby's chicken

[lucid iron]

Did you replace the texture being drawn

[autumn tide]

hmmm is there a $schema for CC?

[woeful lintel]

no, but I have a transpiler that changes the value passed to the draw function

so if a framework replaces the TV screen drawing stuff (which isn't a bad thing since it's a complete mess), then it might break the FF feature

[lucid iron]

That sounds like it'd be fine cus im pretty sure the tv channel framework just replace the texture

And the interactions ofc

[woeful lintel]

well, if they get it to work this way, then fine, but I'm surprised it's possible, because TV screen drawing is weird and hardcoded af

[lucid iron]

For something like this custom companion or meep is the right choice because you can spawn them on the farm but they may have pathing nonsense going on

My personal rec is just make them ordinary npc

[autumn tide]

oooh nice!

..yeah i could do that tbh

[gray bear]

can regular npc live on farm with pathfinding

[lucid iron]

Move to farm is the cursed bit

[lucid iron]

No

[autumn tide]

hmmm, maybe still cc then?

[lucid iron]

But that's also not what im recommending

[autumn tide]

oh?

[lucid iron]

Make them ordinary npc for now

Consider if you actually care about them being on the farm later

[autumn tide]

..i do tbh

[lucid iron]

Maybe the void chimkin runs krobus shop after marriage

[gray bear]

her name should be Gertrude

[lucid iron]

I don't think the asset work you need really changes either so y'know it's not impossible to change implementation later

[autumn tide]

ngl that'd be cute, but i want the chicken to server as one of krobus's few sources of company, and i think they wouldn't want to leave them behind..

[autumn tide]

..hmmm

[gray bear]

make them a child using HMK

[lucid iron]

There's always option of the chimkin is a map tile on krobus spouse room, like all of my other best friends

:)

[autumn tide]

OH YEAH

that's an option!

[gray bear]

they can even be an animated map tile

u can do that with CP alone right?

[lucid iron]

So yeah point is just art/dialogue first implementation details second

[autumn tide]

or i could maybe trigger a quest after kroby moves in (if there is not a coop already) to build a coop and until then gertrude in the sewers?

[gray bear]

first make asset, than its fuck around and find out time

[autumn tide]

ikkk but i wanna speculate about fucking around and finding out

..i could go proper insanity and make a special buildung for gertrude..

OR

make it like shane's chicken spouse balcony thing!!1

hmmm ideas..

okay now back to what i was doing byeeee

[gray bear]

charlie doesnt wander around the farm

[inner harbor]

One of the mods adding a weird multi-eyed shadow kitty friend for Krobus at one point, and I added it into the sewers as a Custom Companion for him.

[autumn tide]

oh yeah, the More Krobus mod! that was actually the one that inspired me to start modding :) it is sadly broken though

[autumn tide]

hmm true

[cinder orchid]

👋

[iron ridge]

why do you keep sending that emoji and only that emoji in various channels?

[gentle rose]

did you need help with something?

[autumn tide]

hey! does giving a rejected gift impact friendship?

[gentle rose]

only one way to find out!

[devout cliff]

Is it possible when creating an NPC storyline to set it up so that the player could choose the romance storyline or a platonic storyline?

[autumn tide]

yup!

[hard fern]

Yesh, search d

Wow t

That was not at all

What i wanted to type XD

[autumn tide]

[devout cliff]

Yay

[autumn tide]

madatory what idea do you have question 👀

[hard fern]

*yes, it's possible to do something like that. You'd need to change the "CanBeRomanced" when a condition was met. It's probably easiest to just make an event with a fork, with the fork leading to the changed outcome, while the other doesn't change anything

[devout cliff]

I've had some ideas rolling around in my head, the easiest one to probably start with being a replacement character for Clint

[autumn tide]

Also could just change the dialog depending on the chouce made

[autumn tide]

real-

[devout cliff]

I just like it when I can do a storyline without being romantic necessarily. Have the choice

[autumn tide]

that's such a fun idea though- there are so many opportunities for making a fun blacksmith character set in the modern(ish) day

[devout cliff]

I have an OC that would slot in really well. Gentle giant trope. Shy. Townspeople think he's crushing on Emily but in reality he's just trying to work up the nerve to ask her to teach him how to sew

Very simple

[autumn tide]

awww

my mind immediately went to a larper-type person with a spin in historical metalwork LOL

[devout cliff]

Lol. I haven't developed it enough so who knows where it'll end up

[autumn tide]

(not pressuring at all! just stating ideas lol)

[devout cliff]

I think this idea will hopefully be the most accessible. And I'm not particularly attached to Clint

[autumn tide]

ik i hate clint-

...respectfully

..sorta

[devout cliff]

I know the feeling lol

[merry river]

advanced move my beloathed

[autumn tide]

'my beloathed'

realest thing i ever heart ngl

[ornate trellis]

guess he didnt wanna dwell over it anymore

[autumn tide]

..can i quote you?

[merry river]

i have been laughing about this for five minutes even if advanced move is pissing me off

[merry river]

i didnt come up with words, go ahead

[autumn tide]

DAMMIT MARILDA

...welp

[merry river]

is it because i am a low rank member of this server.

[autumn tide]

nah maridla's just bitchy sometimes

[ornate trellis]

with two voids present marilda tried dividing by zero

[autumn tide]

marilda also canonically hates me

[merry river]

two voids who love purple what will happen next

[autumn tide]

(context: #1448192663466545202 message)

waiting for the void squared crossover

[ornate trellis]

the universe will collapse

[merry river]

yay!

all according to plan

[autumn tide]

that sounds fun

[ornate trellis]

did you mean according to keikaku- gets murdered

[merry river]

i was just thinking about whether or not to say it like that but didn't know if everyone would know the reference

[autumn tide]

i do not but it is entertaining nonetheless 🙂‍↕️

[merry river]

(tn: keikaku means plan)

wait claude i'll show you

[autumn tide]

when in doubt i don't get the reference LOL

[ornate trellis]

I take a potato chip....and eat it!

[merry river]

this is the reference. that's all

[opaque field]

Question, I'm makin' a pair of boots, and they have a multicolored pattern. How do I set up the bootscolor so that when I equip them to the player they look right instead of just - brown?

[ornate locust]

ahh I remember when amateur anime translations were all you got and did crap like that

[merry river]

this is a gem in my books

[ornate trellis]

fun times

[autumn tide]

tbh 'when in doubt, claude has no fucking clue what's going on' is a great general rule to keep in mind when interacting with me-

[merry river]

i'm "watching anime in 3-parters on youtube" old

[ornate locust]

I saw one that started out with a literal full screen of terms and stuff and it vanished so fast even I couldn't read it all, and I am a VERY fast reader and skimmer

like MEMORIZE ALL THESE WORDS WE'LL USE anyway moving on

[autumn tide]

[ornate trellis]

but to go back on topic....I sadly cant help with boots related modding

[autumn tide]

oh yeah topic-

[ornate locust]

I unfortunately also know nothing about boots

[autumn tide]

yeah nor do i-

[ornate trellis]

i myself am stuck in retex cycle once more

[merry river]

me neither, all i've done so far is objects and npc

and map stuff!

[autumn tide]

ah, i have ..code, but idk what it is anymore bc it's been so long

[merry river]

ohhhh what are you currently working on? i started with my purple winter retexture but got overwhelmed

advancedMove {{PeiMing}} true -3 0 3 2000 3 0 1 1000/emote {{PeiMing}} 12/speak {{PeiMing}} \"(some yapping)\"/pause 200/speak {{PeiMing}} \"(moreyapping)\"/stopAdvancedMoves/pause 300/move {{PeiMing}} 0 1 2/pause 100/

now could anyone riddle me why my stupid ass npc walked into the ocean like jesus /lh

[autumn tide]

-# scope creep

[opaque field]

Dnag, LMAO I'll just shove it in a corner and deal with it later

[autumn tide]

tis the modders' way 🫡

[opaque field]

scope creep my beloathed

[autumn tide]

idk i kinda love scope creep

[merry river]

i mean I'm sure there's people around who are knowledgable on that stuff, just not me

[autumn tide]

we're in a toxic relationship but i love scope creep anyways

[opaque field]

I have mixed feelings about it. Sometimes it's really cool and sometimes it means I script 56 events for a mod XD

[autumn tide]

love of my life

[merry river]

wanna do my event scripting. can you tell me why advanced move never works when i use it /j

[stray hemlock]

I'm worried about you.

[opaque field]

tbr scope creep is how I ended up venturing into the land of making boots.

[autumn tide]

you should be but i'm not changing scope creep forever

[hard fern]

Funniest line ever lol

Why was he eating a potato chip so evily

[autumn tide]

i would totally romance the concept of scope creep if i could

[opaque field]

I only am just now starting to feel brave enough to use advancedMove tbr, it feels cursed.

[ornate locust]

I tried not to use advanced move, but then normal moves decided to DOUBLE HOW FAR EVERYONE MOVED

so I am now an All Advanced Move eventer

[hard fern]

Scope creep is mean to me but ive been a little unmotivated to work on my gemstones so I'm doing everything except working on what i need to. Including writing entirely unrelated fanfic to shirk imaginary responsibilities XD

[ornate trellis]

I am OURplefying the new building that dropped, the watermill

[autumn tide]

i'm disappointed in you voyager /j

[ornate locust]

I've never done a loop before, but I have seen people walk off forever with things like that. I don't think the reasons for the ones I've seen are very helpful, but I'll say them anyway

[hard fern]

Advancedmove gives me a headache so i only use it when i really need to

[opaque field]

I've been slowly moving around the different parts of my Kent expansion. Don't feel motivated to do dialogue? Gifts! Don't wanna do schedules? Mail!

I've totally sent Shane walking into the void past his room at least once

[autumn tide]

in-character behavior right there ngl

[ornate locust]

1. The mod that shortens animation times can cause it to mess up in events.
2. Skipping dialog quickly can cause it to mess up too

[hard fern]

Gah, i still have probably 100+ sprites i have to make, a whole building, several npcs... I wish the mod would make itself

[ornate locust]

These two things seem to make event movement just slightly more fragile, enough that something that SHOULD work breaks instead

[hard fern]

Oh yeah ive had an npc ZOOM bc i skipped the dialogue too fast

[autumn tide]

LMAO

[hard fern]

And it fucked up positioning for the rest of the event

[ornate trellis]

i remember when i was thinking that bout my mod...then i was jsut like nah, i gonna chill idk why

and then theres a day where i shit out like 5 portrait sets at once

[autumn tide]

ig now i'll add tiny pauses after dialog then, that might fix things?

[ornate locust]

it's something to try!

[autumn tide]

[opaque field]

I'm up to 32 events for Kent, NOT including the re-written Vanilla events for him, and Sam. The boots were a distraction from me needing to figure out how to move him into the Adventure Guild without any weird temporal field issues (which I've heard are a thing)

[autumn tide]

jesus

[hard fern]

The boots....

[ornate trellis]

sundays go nyoom

[autumn tide]

i envy you

[ornate locust]

32 events sounds like a hell vortex

[autumn tide]

my fav situation ngl

[hard fern]

Lol the portrait i finished I don't even want that npc in that mod anymore. I want to move her elsewhere

[ornate locust]

(I found making events STRESSFUL)

[ornate trellis]

don't, am not healthy

[autumn tide]

ye but productive

[opaque field]

Shane has 56, and I'm adding another one in a coming update. I'm getting pretty good at setting them up so they work more or less first try

[autumn tide]

i am also very unwell but also lack productivity-

[ornate trellis]

the fun part bout to be done in this retex...still gotta do all the code and test things...

[autumn tide]

DAMN

[opaque field]

I am very totally normal about my character expansion mods

[autumn tide]

...what's your nexus i gotta see this

[autumn tide]

same here

[opaque field]

It's the same as here CacklingCaracal lmfao

[autumn tide]

is this it?

[ornate locust]

I mean wow, I did 18 events and that felt like a ton

[opaque field]

The reason the events are so many is because I have a multiple story paths available haha so like there's a prologue section that you get regardless of your chosen path and then from there it splits into the routes - each has special gifts, maps, mail etc/

[autumn tide]

it IS a ton

[opaque field]

I know how to like things just a little bit I swear.

[autumn tide]

that's so cool

[ornate trellis]

in this household we do not judge hyperfixations and such

[opaque field]

Originally your path was determined by choices you made in the prologue but I changed that to config semi recently.

[ornate trellis]

or else id have to judge myself the hardest

[autumn tide]

eugh it sucks cause i'm equally ambitious and hyperfixation-y but not productive whatsoever even though i've spent all my days modding for the past 5 months

i just wish i could get shit done when hyperfixated

..alas, executive dysfunction is executive dysfunction-ing

[opaque field]

I'm playing around with temporary actors for Kent's mod to add an enemy to an event. Tbh I've been chipping away at this Kent mod for at LEAST 5 maybe 6 months. Shane only took 4 cuz I didn't have to change his whole disposition to make him dateable

[merry river]

Hell yeah!!!! another one for the collection

[opaque field]

It really do be being like that sometimes. Once I think I spent almost an entire day just staring blankly at Tiled and nothing else

[hard fern]

Sigh i wish the romance mechanic in stardew wasn't what it was, i dunno. Like it's never "enough" for the things i want to do

[autumn tide]

i do that a lot tbh

[devout cliff]

Mood

[opaque field]

What kinda stuff do you wanna do that the romance mechanic isn't 'enough' for? ❤️

[autumn tide]

eughhh it can just struggle coming to terms with being disabled when you were always hyper-productive as a kid due to like- the mortal fear of death

[merry river]

(cries in roommate)

[opaque field]

BUT LIKE YES THOUGH.

[autumn tide]

IK I was a deeply unhealthy child but i was so productive 😭

easily the worst part of my life BUT I WAS SO PRODUCTIVEEE

[opaque field]

Kinda same though, like especially looking back at some of my earlier art and writing like I WANT THAT BACK but not anything else haha

[ornate locust]

Oh yeah, I'm bipolar and before I was medicated, I got soooo much done on hypomanic swings

[autumn tide]

like i was buring alive in hell BUT I WAS GETTING SHIT DONE

[devout cliff]

I try to set myself so that when I inevitably switch hyperfixations, when I cycle back, it’s relatively simple to pick up where I left off

[hard fern]

I guess just a more in-depth romance, i guess. The dialogue being limited to once a day kinda is a problem (or twice a day if you're married)

[ornate locust]

it's not worth the rest of it, but man was it productive on the up swings

[autumn tide]

was it the shit I actually liked?

NO

but i could get my responsiblites done at least-

[sleek flint]

Sure, you can dm me if you want!

[opaque field]

I've been trying to slowly tinker with making a C# mod that allows for bonus dialogue cuz I ALSO want to yap with them more

[devout cliff]

Have you played Rune Factory 4?

[hard fern]

I'd also love actually having to go on dates/impress the npc you want to date before they'd give you the time of day haha

[balmy valve]

In a heart event, I want the player to answer a question which affects the end of the event, but not the scenes in between. Should I use a quickQuestion or a fork for this?

[autumn tide]

quickQuestion :)

and switchEvent

it's the best ngl

[hard fern]

Technically i know i can just do this with a lot of events but that's clunky

[balmy valve]

How do i make the effect delay?

[opaque field]

Absolutely quick question my lord and savior

[balmy valve]

Oh ok I see now

[devout cliff]

RF4 has so much dialogue

[opaque field]

All about trying to recreate the 'slow burn romance' kinda feel

[devout cliff]

Really pulls off feeling of lively characters rather than lines of code

[opaque field]

(absolutely NOT so I can squeeze all the self insert fanfic bouncing around in my brain into one mod)

[devout cliff]

They have a date system too

[hard fern]

Maybe one day I'll go full dating sim where the farmer has to actually put in effort to woo a character. Has to dress well, give them gifts, maybe develop some kind of personality system where the player needs to "study" to raise points in areas....

[opaque field]

Def gonna get this and rummage through the code lol ty! 😄

[devout cliff]

I hope it ends up helpful

There is a PC version of the game

[opaque field]

I love this omg, like they ask you questions based on conversations you've had in the past and judge you on how well you remember stuff

[devout cliff]

RF4 has events (separate from heart events with characters) that pop up more or less randomly. Short little plot lines to follow. Also. Sleepovers

[cerulean bluff]

does anyone know the best way to put a junimo hut on my farm in debug mode?
Is it just get the wizard shop and buy it?

[hard fern]

Yeah, i always feel like there's not enough effort put into romancing the characters, and the farmer doesn't deserve them XD i know i could just play a real dating sim if i really wanted to but i like modding stardew so...

[opaque field]

1000%, like I want bad first dates and like, the little tiny moments that build into the bigger moments etc etc

[devout cliff]

Preeeeeetttty sure that can happen in RF4 (I might not be remembering correctly but I’m pretty sure you can do poorly on the date events)

[hard fern]

I also love thinking about the dates themselves, like what kind of date would the NPC like to go on? How receptive are they to flirting? Stuff like that...

[brave fable]

you can use the build debug command to add buildings by name to your current standing tile

using quotes and full names, e.g. "Junimo Hut" if there's a space

[opaque field]

YES. Like, if they're having a little run in, where it it most likely to be based on the things they like. What are ways the player can notice things about them to bring up later as a way of showing interest (with the potential for being either adorably or disastrously wrong)

[cerulean bluff]

Thanks cranberry!

[hard fern]

Lol i could go on for too long about this haha. Maybe it's because i like a lot of character focused things

[opaque field]

Me toooo.

Okay, so, advancedMove continues to be cursed but my Shadow Brute Temp Actor works! There's also gotta be something I'm doing wrong with the way I've set up my hats and weapons assets because I just can't seem to get them to exist in game T.T

[ornate trellis]

hmmmm my retex is stuck in spring...

idk if i wanna fight this tonight, might bebbecause the author uses several sliced images for the seasons? instead of one sheet? idk

but hey, technically its in the game

[merry river]

okay for real now, how do i make an advanced move stop lmao

[opaque field]

StopAdvancedMoves!

[merry river]

i tried but my guy keeps moving into the void anyway

[opaque field]

😭 and you have false after the actor name?

[autumn tide]

okay i'm actually going to debug now wish me luck

[urban patrol]

put a pause after the move (not pause but as part of the advancedMove command)

[calm nebula]

Plz show event code

[merry river]

@calm nebula this was my advancedMove before i opted for a simple move command. I liked that my npc was pacing back and forth while talking but he didn't stop and ran off into the sea with the next move command if you can point out what i did wrong, i'd appreciate it! but it's 1 am so to bed i go

[autumn tide]

gn void

[merry river]

nighty!! good luck with debugging

[calm nebula]

The move command requires npcs to be tile aligned before use

Once you have done an advanceMove, you basically have to warp the NPC back on the grid to use move

Or stay with advancemove

[autumn tide]

..why do they have shorts (the dialog is a purposeful placeholder dw)

[autumn tide]

WAIT A SEC

DO I18NS LIKE TOKENS

oh god i might've fucked up

oh shittt

[hard fern]

What did you do. Why has krobus been shortsed

[autumn tide]

i got no fucking clue

...do you know about that i18n token thing

bc if not i am screwed

..like horrifically

[lucid mulch]

define "like tokens"

[autumn tide]

uhh dynamic token

do dynamic tokens display in i18n things?

[lucid mulch]

give an example

[autumn tide]

uhhhhh this dialog line:

  "i18n_Dialog.Dwarf.Gift.Liked": "I like this. Thanks, {{playernameDwarf}}.$1",

[gentle rose]

no, you can't use tokens in i18n

tokens go in the content patcher jsons

[hallow prism]

you can, but not like this

[autumn tide]

well. shit.

[autumn tide]

..i can?

[lucid mulch]

the contents of i18n cant use CP tokens at all, only placeholders that use similar syntax.
you could do {{i18n i18n_Dialog.Dwarf.Gift.Liked |playernameDwarf={{playernameDwarf}} }} though

[hallow prism]

you need either to have it be a part of the i18n key, or import the token

[autumn tide]

..oh

[hard fern]

I was just about to say that the i18n text can't parse the tokens as-is haha

[hallow prism]

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/stable/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/translations.md#can-i-use-content-patcher-tokens-in-i18n-files

see this also

[autumn tide]

cause i got a lot of tokens i use everywhere in there, would i have to do that for all of them?

i am lost rn one sec gonna read

i remain confused

uhh

[hallow prism]

ok then my advice is to keep that for later, sleep or rest, then return to that and test in a small thing until you got it

[autumn tide]

would anyone be willing to look over my dialog code and tell me what to do 😭

[hallow prism]

i'm not willing, but it may be because it's 2 AM

[autumn tide]

oh god go to bed lumina

[hallow prism]

i will, i needed to relax a bit

[reef creek]

Can someone who has experience with changing dialogue for a npc help me. I'm trying to change dialogue for sebastian and I can't seem to figure out what code to use to change his festival dialogue. I've tried this code but it won't work:
"Action": "EditData",
