if i wanted to create a mod for another mod, a rival hearts one, should i reach out to the mod author first to make sure i have permission before attempting anything? i've been thinking about it for a while and i want to try modding something like that, but just want to make sure i'm not stepping on any toes or wasting my time

You should be able to use the dialogue console command if you specifically need to see the emotion in the dialogue box. If you just need to ensure that your emotion portrait is definitely in game, you can patch export.

Thanks everyone for answering my questions yesterday, I ended up doing
new CodeMatch(ci =>
ci.opcode == OpCodes.Call && (ci.operand as MethodInfo).Name == "ChooseFrom"
),
new CodeMatch(ci =>
ci.opcode == OpCodes.Stloc_S && (ci.operand as LocalBuilder).LocalIndex == 7
)
but now I'm having trouble making my own code instructions
new CodeInstruction(OpCodes.Ldloc_1),
// v2 (location of rod)
new CodeInstruction(OpCodes.Ldloc_S, v2Storage),
// lighting event
new CodeInstruction(OpCodes.Ldloc_2),
new CodeInstruction(
OpCodes.Call,
AccessTools.Method(typeof(UtilityPatch), nameof(CheckCombinedLightningRod))
),
new CodeInstruction(OpCodes.Brfalse, label),
new CodeInstruction(OpCodes.Ret),
new CodeInstruction(OpCodes.Nop).WithLabels(label)
I get NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
CheckCombinedLightningRod is a public static bool that takes in 3 things
I checked that the access tools method is non null, that v2 storage has the correct thing. when I remove the last three lines, the exception goes away
I also put logging at the beginning of my function to see if anything happens but I don't see it in the logs
label was created with new Label()
brittle pasture
can you post the full function
brisk wedge
public static void CheckCombinedLightningRod(
Farm farm,
// v2 is the vector location of the randomly chosen lighting rod
Vector2 v2,
Farm.LightningStrikeEvent lightningEvent

{
try
{
ModEntry.Logger.Log($"Start", LogLevel.Error);
ModEntry.Logger.Log($"Start {Game1.timeOfDay} {v2}", LogLevel.Error);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ModEntry.Logger.Log(
string.Format(
"Unhandled Error in {0}.{1}:\n{2}",
nameof(Utility),
nameof(CheckCombinedLightningRod),

),

stupid question how do i get an il

i dont remember what its called in the transpiler parameters
the ILGenerator generator

Add in an parameter with type ILGenetator

(i always call mine il and forgot thats not the default)
calm nebula
And call .DefineLabel from there
brittle pasture
uncut viper
(well "default" aka whats used in the docs)

Hey, mine are called gen

see that you need to pass a new parameter in the transpiler into the code matcher object
and see the label creation methods I used below

how do i make a music choice conditional depending on a seen event id?
i don't want to make a gazillion conditional 14-heart events
vernal crest
Use a dynamic token
vernal crest
Feel free to ping me if you need a hand figuring out how to use it in this context

i just speed-composed 6 songs
@vernal crest hi, abagai! i am done setting up the token. how do i use it to change which music plays in an event?
vernal crest
<@560002918351110145> hi, abagai! i am done setting up the token. how do i use i...
Are you using it as the first command in the event setup or using the playMusic command?
vernal crest
Okay so instead of having playMusic SummertimeSadness/ in your event, you'd have playMusic {{DT_EventMusic}}/.
balmy valve
so i only have the dynamic token values rn, how do i connect them to the songs?
If that makes sense
vernal crest
Hmm actually, is this event happening on the same day as the event that decides which music will play?
balmy valve
No, the deciding event is a 6-heart and the result event is a 14-heart
vernal crest
Oh okay that is fine then
vernal crest
so i only have the dynamic token values rn, how do i connect them to the songs?
The same way that you would without the dynamic token. Load the music to Data/AudioChanges and make sure that its ID is the same as the value in your DT.
balmy valve
Wait, but the values in my DT are simple strings without the {{ModId}} token in them
Wait nvm thats not how it works
the ID is just the in-game name right
vernal crest
You can make the values include the mod id token or you can put the mod id token in the event
balmy valve
like Spring (It's a Big World Outside)
vernal crest
Your custom music should have a mod id prefix in its ID
vernal crest
Yeah
balmy valve
what if the dynamic token name alr has my modid in it, would i then do {{ModId}}_{{DT_{{ModId}}_SongToken}}
that is so cursed
Will this also mean that if the player skips the event, no song will play? Good.
vernal crest
Don't put your mod id in the dynamic token name
balmy valve
ok
vernal crest
It's internal to your mod (unlike the value) so it doesn't have to be globally unique
balmy valve
Excellent...tee hee >:3
Let me make a placeholder 14-heart event (guess i'd better make it an 8-heart for now) and test it
Thank you so much for your help btw, I would've really struggled otherwise
vernal crest
You don't need to make it an anything heart event. You can give it no preconditions and just use debug ebi to run it. (Or go to the location you've put it in)
balmy valve
oh yeah
eh whatever
It's saying {{DT_SongToken}} could not be used as a token bc that token could not be found.
But it's a warn, not an error
Is that just because i haven't done the deciding event yet?
It's also saying "must set the Action field"
vernal crest
It might, or you might have a typo somewhere. Share your json please
You should have a default value for the DT by the way so that if a player doesn't choose the music there will still be a value.
balmy valve
Oh. Yeah I don't got that. Gimme a second to fix that n then I'll share my json
hallow prism
yeah dynamic tokens are better with a default neutral value as a failsafe
like if the player skips an event or something
balmy valve
oh. my. god.
so many
i have never seen so many errors on one file before
Ignore the warps, those work fine
vernal crest
You appear to have tried to put your dynamic tokens inside your Changes field instead of the DynamicTokens field like they're meant to be
balmy valve
they go OUTSIDE CHANGES???

Hello!
I’m specifically trying to make a trigger that runs the first time the player speaks to an NPC (Willy for example) on a randomly sunny day, and then never repeats. What’s the correct way to set up the TriggerAction so it checks weather and conversation, runs only once, and doesn’t show again? (The dialogue and the trigger action never get shown again)
I'm pretty much making a quest that starts as soon as you randomly talk to Willy on a random sunny day, but I also want that dialogue he says for the quest to never appear again

there are a few ways to set this up, but I would:
- set two trigger actions, one adds a conversation topic on a sunny day and one removes it on non-sunny days, have them always run but with a

the tricky part here is that you wanted a dialogue only on sunny days

seeing CT dialogue automatically makes a mail flag, <npcName>_<CT>

And you want the dialogue to be random, too, Lucy? So may or may not happen on any given sunny day?

No, you put it at the top because it gets evaluated first and then the others come after. Use debug gq PLAYER_HAS_SEEN_EVENT Current <event> to check if the game is recording you as having seen the event(s) that you're using as your condition.
balmy valve
It is not.
Is this because all events are a switchEvent from the main one (the 6-heart event)?
vernal crest
It might be, I am unsure how secondary events are recorded. I can check though, give me a bit.
balmy valve
okay, thank you so much
ornate locust
Maybe the randomness could be contained in the trigger action
balmy valve
My whole day spent on one (1) hearg eveng.
vernal crest
That seems like a small amount of time to spend one one event to me lol
I usually spend much more than one day on them
balmy valve
...i coded the base mod in 2 weeks and this update has been in the works for. uh. 14 days
vernal crest
Hmm yeah it didn't record a vanilla one as having been seen either
You can just set a mailflag in each secondary event and check that instead
balmy valve
my mod is like 10% content 90% mailflag atp
I'll do that n get back to you
Mailfglag no work ;c
it's still playin da goofy ahh theme
@vernal crest should i repost my json
vernal crest
Have you checked if the mail flag is showing as true?
(You might want to start i18ning soon)
balmy valve
gimme a sec
balmy valve
false. it's midnight so im done for now
brittle pasture
ngl coding without i18n scares me more
wdym I have to go to where the text is used to edit it
vernal crest
false. it's midnight so im done for now
Good luck with it tomorrow. You can try just manually adding the mail flag if you want to check that the dynamic token part works before you have to fiddle with why the mail flag isn't being added.

Unless someone has modified smapi itself, nope
inland rain
https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/blob/develop/docs/technical/mod-package.md#...
ah great ty
obtuse wigeon
Oh sorry I thought you meant something like
[C#] mod 1
Manifest.json
[CP] mod 2
Manifest.json
That is also how I interpreted Erin's question, dw.
vernal crest
I think as long as the CP mod has manifest(?), SMAPI will read it
You can't nest a mod inside another mod folder. You can have as many mod folders as you want inside an umbrella folder, but that umbrella folder cannot have a manifest.json in it
inland rain
except now both the main mod and the cp mod are in subfolders :/
uncut viper
That is how all mods that come with both a CP portion and a C# portion must be packaged.
inland rain
that means anyone with an older version of the mod is going to have problems when they overwrite
uncut viper
Then you tell them not to overwrite and instead delete and reinstall
vernal crest
I've made changes where I told people they had to completely delete and reinstall. They survive.
inland rain
still seems like not great design... I add a content pack and suddenly my mod files move to a sub folder
uncut viper
The content pack is an entirely separate mod as far as SMAPI is concerned
inland rain
yes but why not have them all in the Mods folder as normal?
uncut viper
You can, then theyd both be subfoldered to Mods
vernal crest
Well, you don't have to make yourself a subfolder
inland rain
I can't SMAPI automatically subfolders them
uncut viper
You just cannot have an entire mod folder inside another mods folder
SMAPI doesnt automatically move any files
inland rain
vernal crest
We'd end up with every CP mod being inside a Content Patcher folder if that happened
brittle pasture
well nothing stopping you from dumping those 3 folders into the top level Mods folder yourself if you really have to preserve the existing structure
uncut viper
SMAPI didn't put anything in any folders. That's not what SMAPI does. It doesn't touch your file system like that
brittle pasture
don't though
inland rain
SMAPI didn't put anything in any folders. That's not what SMAPI does. It doesn't...
this is what happens when I build the mod in VS... sorry I guess it's not SMAPI, it's the mod builders
uncut viper
Then yeah, thats the mod package builder
brittle pasture
since I'm pretty sure most self-respecting unarchivers would automatically create a folder for you anyway (I know mine does on Linux)
uncut viper
Because that's what most people do for multi-part mods
You can just... move them outside the folder
vernal crest
You might get confused users if they're meant to be a package deal and aren't subfoldered like normal though
inland rain
I can... every time I build the zip file? make a new zip file?
brittle pasture
but yeah I'm going to add to the chorus that you should just tell your users to live with it
uncut viper
I don't see why not?
brittle pasture
since I'm pretty sure most self-respecting unarchivers would automatically creat...
uncut viper
I don't use the zip file that the builder makes for me
inland rain
sorry, I didn't realize we shouldn't use it
uncut viper
No one's saying you shouldnt
vernal crest
I usually don't either because I forget about it
uncut viper
But if you don't like how it packages your files, then don't use it, or repackage them differently after
vernal crest
Or don't bundle your CP mods in with your C# mod at all
inland rain
sorry, I guess no one sees the issue I am having, thanks for responding anyway
uncut viper
We know what the issue is, we're just telling you that you don't have any other alternatives
inland rain
was that really what you were telling me though?
uncut viper
Yep
inland rain
oh my mistake, it seemed like you were trying to tell me lots of ways my issue wasn't an issue
vernal crest
You were being told all the options available to you after being told that what you wanted wasn't an option
brittle pasture
(summarizing everything) you can let the mod builder make the zip for you, and edit it manually to remove the top level folder
so instead of the zip containing one folder which contains 3 folders, it can contain 3 folders directly
but if you do this then some unarchivers will just make a folder for you and the end result's the same
alternatively you can just make the CP mod be a separate file on your modpage
inland rain
thank you, I did think of that, but I don't want the user to know about one of the content packs, because they are secret items
brittle pasture
I think you severely overestimate the typical modding knowledge of an average user
- nexus file preview would show it anyway
inland rain
I just want the items to be bundled with the mod... they shouldn't be an optional download I don't think
uncut viper
You could always just create them in the C# portion
inland rain
yeah that would work, ty
uncut viper
Not only would that make them unremovable but then the amount of people who'd know about it drops to practically 0
(Well unremovable via uninstalling)
inland rain
it came up because someone updated my mod to CP and added the pack to the mod folder... but then it wasn't being added
idk what they were doing, but now I have their content pack in my mod folder
brittle pasture
they didn't delete before updating most likely
inland rain
on github I mean
brittle pasture
(I think that it's a good thing to be opinionated and subjective in coding, so my subjective and opinionated opinion is that we spent way too much time debating a solution to a problem that honestly doesn't exist, and it's totally okay that you think otherwise)
inland rain
I just said it doesn't seem like good design to have the mod structure changed automatically just because I add a content pack to it... people were trying to tell me it wasn't happening... felt like gaslighting, sorry if I misunderstood

Hey guys, I've come up against a bit of a stumper and figured it was time to phone a friend.
https://smapi.io/log/f8d6f7b7f2cd4ae78f57f9064e0c4893
I have an event that patches a couple of map assets and loads one in. All of them rely on the same flag:
{
"LogName": "Patching bathhouse menslocker room door for event (female player only)",
"Action": "EditMap",
"Target": "Maps/BathHouse_Entry",
"Priority": "Late",
"MapTiles": [
{
"Position": { "X": 7, "Y": 3 },
"Layer": "Buildings",
"SetProperties": {
"Action": "WarpWomensLocker 3 27 BathHouse_MensLocker"
}
}
],
"When": {
"PlayerGender": "Female",
"HasFlag": "{{ModId}}_Seb12h"
}
},
That flag (Kantrip.OlderSebastian_Seb12h) is clearly listed in the user's HasFlag section of their SMAPI log, yet none of the changes are being applied.
ocean sailBOT
Log Info: SMAPI 4.3.2 with SDV 1.6.15 build 24356 on Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0, with 48 C# mods and 121 content packs.
Suggested fixes: One or more mods are out of date, consider updating them
tribal ore
" [X] | [ ] | [ ] | Late | Patching bathhouse menslocker room door for event (female player only) (EditMap Maps/BathHouse_Entry) // conditions don't match: HasFlag

"
vernal crest
Are they definitely a female farmer?
Oh you posted the log whoops I skipped that
And it says the HasFlag is the one that doesn't match
I am doing well tonight
Ummm is it possible that the user has edited the files and changed the HasFlag check somehow?
tribal ore
Ummm is it possible that the user has edited the files and changed the HasFlag c...
Edited the mod files? I can check, but this event has plagued me with issues for so long I doubt it
It seems to work fine for most people
But then I'll get someone like this. This is the first log that has managed to capture a failure to launch event, but the flag is clearly there so I'm just... scratching my head
vernal crest
Yeah me too, hence the only thing that I can think of being that what the HasFlag is checking for is not what is actually present.
Oooor...how long before the check happens is the flag set? Like is this patch meant to be applying the same day?
tribal ore
One second, let me check
Yeah, it's day started (because I have to check weather). HOWEVER, usually by the time they get to this point they have gone through 2 other mini cutscenes leading up to this point that also rely on the same flag.
Do you think this would work better if I was using BETAS and setting the flag the night before maybe?
gray bear
this condition will be checked at the start of the day right (unsure if that's anything)
vernal crest
What's setting the flag?
tribal ore
A trigger action
"{{ModId}}_Start12Heart": {
"Id": "{{ModId}}_Start12Heart",
"Trigger": "DayStarted",
"Condition": "PLAYER_HAS_SEEN_EVENT Current {{ModId}}_Event_11heart, !PLAYER_HAS_SEEN_EVENT Current {{ModId}}_Event_12heart_0, PLAYER_FRIENDSHIP_POINTS Current Sebastian 3000, PLAYER_NPC_RELATIONSHIP Current Sebastian Married, WEATHER Here Rain Storm, !IS_FESTIVAL_DAY Any, !SEASON winter",
"Actions": [
"AddMail Current {{ModId}}_Seb12h Received",
"AddConversationTopic {{ModId}}_Topic_12h 1",
"SetNpcInvisible Sebastian 1"
]
},
Are the events checking for the flag using a precondition or a When field?
tribal ore
Yes
vernal crest
Yes...both?
tribal ore
Oh! As a precondition
"{{ModId}}_Event_12heart_1/f Sebastian 3000/e {{ModId}}_Event_12heart_0/n {{ModId}}_Seb12h":
Not as a When. The only When checks are in the map patches
vernal crest
Then I think that the events are checking late enough that the flag is present but the map patches are checking before the flag is present.
tribal ore
Hmmmmmm
vernal crest
You could try just switching the Trigger from DayStarted to DayEnding to get it to run when the player sleeps the night before
tribal ore
The problem is the weather. The event is rain dependent
vernal crest
Ah
tribal ore
So I would need to use BETAS or something to let me look ahead for weather the next day (I think)
vernal crest
Well, there's also changing your update rate to LocationChanged
tribal ore
Hm. Can I do that for just this event?
vernal crest
No, you'd be doing it for the map patches themselves so they'd check the conditions every location change the whole game
tribal ore
Ooooof. Hmmmmm. Maybe I could include those map patches in another file and gate it with a When?
vernal crest
It might be worth doing just to confirm this is actually the problem, if you can try to recreate the issue without changing the update rate and then see if it gets fixed using LocationChange
tribal ore
I migth be able to ask the user who opened the bug report to use a special config.json. I haven't been able to reproduce this problem even once on my end
Which is why it's been so hard to fix
vernal crest
Ooooof. Hmmmmm. Maybe I could include those map patches in another file and gate...
Yeah if you have another condition you can gate it behind that'd work I think - I'm not totally sure but Esca said the other day that they thought something like that should stop the patch inside the included file from having its conditions checked
vernal crest
Which is why it's been so hard to fix
Well, if I'm right, you now have the conditions to be able to reproduce, which are that you have to rush to those locations on exactly the same day you receive the flag for the first time. If you've already been doing that then I might be on the wrong track.
gray bear
dont think so
tribal ore
Even if it doesn't work, at least it's something for me to try xD
gray bear
oh no it does it seems
vernal crest
Yes, OnLocationChange is just changing the update rate of your patches regardless of what the patch is doing

Alright. Hopefully this is the magic bullet I've been looking for. Thank you again!

The issue with the vanilla "group dating" thing is that they just...forgive you after a week. Whereas the dateables in this mod care deeply for each other, so they wouldn't ever forgive the player for breaking the other's heart

balmy valve
yeah, but...how?
balmy valve
okay but how do i connect that to the conversation topic/event memory
hard fern
Can't you do conditional editdata based on if the trigger action/event has happened? I'm a little out of the loop atm
Hmm or can you could set it for as long as the ct is active?
With a gsq

While conversation topic is active, NPCs reject gift and return dialogue "I don't want this." How do??
hard fern
That's what my suggestion was for
balmy valve
where put gsq though...
hard fern
You'd add the rejection lines by editdata-ing the npc's dialogue
balmy valve
OH
hard fern
The gsq would be in the "When"
hard fern
I'm not sure how to answer that, the same way you do any other editdata patch? 🤔
I don't think i can help
Im bad at explaining
balmy valve
ok let me try
uncut viper
you cannot use a GSQ in a When condition

oh, btw, once i'm done editing maps...which tilesheet pngs should i remove from my folder? just the seasonal ones, i'm assuming?
uncut viper
all of them
balmy valve
all the vanilla ones??
uncut viper
all of them
if you have custom ones, they should ideally be loaded somewhere into the content pipeline into the Maps/<whatever> asset
balmy valve
They are loaded, but I keep them in there
uncut viper
dont do that
i mean, keep them in your mod somewhere
but dont put them next to the .tmx
balmy valve
i don't, i put them in a seperate folder
balmy valve
no, no pngs in same folder as tmx
hard fern
you cannot use a GSQ in a When condition
Thanks for correcting me, i get confused with other conditions and content patcher When conditions
balmy valve
all my pngs are in a folder separate from the tmx, including the vanilla ones. however, i am scared that if i delete the vanilla tileset pngs, my maps will fail to load (it's happened before, it happened today actually)
like the editmap patch straight up did not happen
uncut viper
the vanilla ones should not have been separate
you will now have tilesheet climbing errors
uncut viper
if you always had your custom ones separate too, then those will also be broken

this line is my idle animation, it's 0,128, and this is my code. i'm aware the position is incorrect, but i don't know what the correct answer is
"Idle": {
"FrameStart": 128,
"FrameLength": 4
},```
trying something real quick
i... ALMOST figured it out
i'm so used to having to put image coordinates but this thing actually counts frames, so the answer was 17
however.... there's a new problem
brave fable
Whats probably the time in ms of fade to black? im calling warpPlayer() but its ...
you should look for a static afterfade-sort of event hook to use on Game1, i don't have the code in front of me but you should be able to register some behaviour on fade complete rather than timing it and hoping for the best
ebon birch
this is definitely not what this should look like 😭
sorry im listening to reddit stories on youtube, i forget this damn thing also copies sound LOL
i can fix the sprites being a bit off but there's a flash there as if one of the frames is missing which i'm not sure what that's about, and it's also very fast. i assume there's a line i can add to slow it down
i may have figured out the invisible frame actually! the frames start at 0, not 1, so the startframe should be 16, not 17, and the missing frame is because it's looking for something that doesnt exist
balmy valve
this is definitely not what this should look like 😭
thats really funny it fits so well
ebon birch
lol
i think i fixed it, but i needed to add another row of sprites to the idle because it was blinking too often
might actually be too slow now but i can speed that up, feels a lot nicer

I'm glad they got a raise anyway
ebon birch
haha
the speed was at 550, i bumped it down to 400, here's hoping that's a good speed
i wish i didnt have to restart the entire game to test minor edits like this

it sounds like you're accidentally replacing the entire trigger with just your entry?
your targetfield needs to be deeper
ebon birch
i think this speed is the sweet spot

Nice work figuring it out! I enjoyed your progression of being able to work out what was wrong and fix it ^_^
ebon birch
thank you! sometimes i need to puzzle things out on paper so to speak before things start making sense
im too tired to do the other five variants tonight though haha
but having the one fixed just means mostly copy pasting and then minor edits on the spritesheet to make the actual idle animations for the other five
wasnt initially going to do an idle animation in this update but the idle was just a forward sprite sitting there static and i was like "well i can at LEAST do a blink or something" and it became a whole thing

Do you watch Smosh Pit? I listen to them reading Reddit while modding sometimes.
ebon birch
i plan on doing an all fours running animation for when it gathers forage off the ground, but that requires drawing an entirely new sprite set, so that's a nebulous future update
i do not
i listen to darkfluff, mark industries, and sometimes markee
i like darkfluff's voice, he was the one in that video
brittle pasture
(Doesnt vanilla has tags to exclude pickle/stuff already? Or is it the reverse?)
it has tags to allow juicing/wining non-veg/fruits (same with pickles/jellies)
not the inverse
hallow prism
Ok!
ebon birch
anyway after i finish and push this update for the chu companions i'm going to figure out how to code up my hitmarkers and upload those
i know it seems like i already figured that out since they're in my game, but i have a massive texture overhaul where i combine texture packs on the base sheets, so that instead of 200 texture mods i have just the one. i have to reverse engineer the code i wrote two years ago or whenever 1.6 released to figure out how to actually only replace the hitmarkers and not the entire cursor sheet
i also plan on expanding the scope of that mod by adding in more hitmarker stlyes, like moons and stars
and having them rotate randomly daily
it would be the kind of mod that should have a config but ive never done configs before
that's a problem for future me
present me is going to bed

For some ungodly reason, neither the portraits nor overworld sprites for Krobus that I've made are being used.
ocean sailBOT
gentle rose
yup, perfect
west thunder
For context, both the portrait and overworld spritesheets of a character use the same exact names, so I had to make separate folders for each pair (regular and trenchcoat) in the assets folder.
gray bear
no () allowed
west thunder
wharg
gray bear
west thunder
That's bulldookie.
gray bear
config values don't support special characters
you can make it look like you want with i18n
west thunder
For future reference, what characters aren't allowed?
vernal crest
Please don't even use spaces
gray bear
ABC only, i think
vernal crest
And use i18n to control the display name of the setting (and description)
gentle rose
anything other than letters and numbers shouldn’t be used
west thunder
you're joking
gentle rose
A-Z, a-z, 0-9
west thunder
And how complicated would an i18n file be?
gray bear
yes i forgor number ^
vernal crest
Easy
gentle rose
and necessary regardless!
gray bear
i18n files are big ass lists, and we have an i18n-inifier
vernal crest
Create i8n folder, create default.json file inside said folder, use https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/config.md#translations to add config translations
gray bear
https://nom0ri.github.io/sdv-i18nifier-app/
this helps ^
west thunder
Do I gotta look over the whole page or just type in whatever it is I need to do in the Translations chapter you've linked?
gray bear
the page aba linked is really short. got all info you'd need for config i18n values
vernal crest
Example of i18n with just config descriptions (uploaded here rather than json validator because the validator removes my beautiful comments)
gray bear
how dare the json validator do this 💔
vernal crest
(You can download and edit it if it feels easier than starting your own from scratch)
You don't have to do anything in the content.json to use i18n for config stuff, unlike for using i18n in other places.
gray bear
a bit related but should you not use spaces in section names as well?
gray bear
i go fix. thank you
vernal crest
You can translate them (and give them descriptions!) just the same as config options
gray bear
this is more of a phrasing formatting question, what I'm trying to make clear is if the user sets "None" on the DISCO mod config, the icons won't show up. help making it clear would be awesome 
ty
"config.SourceIcon.description": "Scales the small icon in the top left of sprites showing the item that was used to make it. Sub-Icon Display MUST NOT be on NONE on the \"DISCO\" menu for it to show up.",
lucid iron
Did u mean to ping me
gray bear
i pinged you?? sorry
lucid iron
Naw it just seemed very out of context here
gray bear
lucid iron
But yeah I gotta go back and add tooltips and probably adjust how the button looks later
gray bear
yeah i have that affect on chatrooms
lucid iron
That said the purpose of having a shared config on disco side is so that you don't have to add it
gray bear
oh i just let users change the scale of it
maybe i'll yeet that, however
but can't change the scale if they turn it off
lucid iron
Yeah that's another thing I may do in the "always" mode
I'm personally against having too many config that r too fine grained bc i generally think my opinions r best 
gray bear
that's very based and fair
lucid iron
At some point i just go yeah sure go change this json 
gray bear
can't think of a single reason players would complain about that /s /j
but yeah its fair

I did a content patch but i need to create a content.json, how i do that?

I did a content patch but i need to create a content.json, how i do that?
Uh, could you elaborate please?
short temple
Did the manifest, sprites and the 18in i need to create the content.json file
autumn tide
a content.json is where the base of your code would be (unless you're making a large enough project that you want multiple files for your code, in which the content.json would be used to include the other files)
autumn tide
Alright, so you wanna make the code for that?
short temple
Yep i need to learn to make the codes
autumn tide
I'm not really experienced in custom items or animals, but I can attach the wiki links, they're pretty helpful
short temple
I have all morning reading how to code from the wiki
The only thing i still missing is the content
autumn tide
Oh yeah the wiki's great! I have a few other guides i can find too
short temple
Please it would be very appreciated

And then cross-reference to a mod that do a similar thing to what you want to do. I suggest looking at silvermoonchan's animal mods.

i do too but all under one huge label ig
within each character expansion I also add: maps, food, recipes, items, clothes, weapons, things that have buffs, furniture (and I think that's it)

oh yeah i'm working on that too!! sadly the volcano dwarf is a literal tile-

not even an npc
BUT you can still edit the sprite
short temple
So You have to edit the tile then
autumn tide

OH and do you have the unpacked game yet, @short temple ?
short temple
In android i did most of my content packs in my phone
lucid iron
Ye. I was gonna peek at WAG cuz I know that adds forage
So although you can add forage normally you will likely want to do it through ftm/spacecore so that you don't make vanilla forage rare af
short temple
So i can backup to cloud anywhere
autumn tide
..i got no clue about android modding sorry
short temple
It is literally the same thing
autumn tide
uhh but do you have the unpacked game? it's like a collection of a decent part of the code
short temple
Yep

So I can just make the i18n file like this?
Or is there something you need to add in the beginning?
lucid iron
Not really i18n are i18n solely by their relative path
The file is just string: string
autumn tide
nah! BUT adding "$schema": "https://smapi.io/schemas/i18n.json", under the first curly bracket makes vs code happier
autumn tide
oh :(
west thunder
Because config options don't allow special characters like () in it.
west thunder
So everyone suggested I'd make an i18n file so I could translate the config options from there to whatever I like.
autumn tide
mhm!
west thunder
I beg of you, how do I set it up?
autumn tide
SO first you wanna set up a folder in your mod.. thing called i18n
west thunder
Done.
autumn tide
then make a file called default
west thunder
.json, yeah?
autumn tide
mhm!
