I Don't know how to code the map location tbh

west thunder
#

Clarification.

#

I could do without, though.

#

my goat..............

#

Actually, if I could do without, then why am I wasting y'all's time in the first place?

#

Unless adding spaces has some hidden defect?

#

But it works!

autumn tide
#

sorry, I don't accept DMs from ppl I don't know well

#

gtg for now, but chances are I'll log in sometime later! bye y'all :)

opaque field
#

My plan for Maru is that it's more of a Kuudere vibe. Her interactions with you are more of a social experiment until she realizes shes falling for you

devout otter
#

Well, ideally not after the mod is uploaded, because then your uploaded manifest wouldn't have the key.

heavy pewter
#

How do i cover that transition from robin's house to current location? I usually just postfix patch warpFarmer() here but i want to go full smapi event hooks here

Screenshot_20251225-002729.png
devout otter
#

Make the page, then grab the page code before uploading to the page.

lucid iron
#

I do this and I'm not forced to warp to robin's at all

#

Works for wizard too

west thunder
#

Just replace these in the content file?

#

Also, both the portraits AND overworld sprites didn't work here, yet the parentheses are only tied to the former. Does that mean they broke down the entire file or something?

#

Because I admitedly haven't checked if the monsters worked or not, just Krobus.

#

But they seemed to have worked with spaces.

heavy pewter

#

I got my boots to look right in the game

meager depot
#

As a host, is it possible to modify the money of an offline player?

lucid iron
#

Like with a mod?

meager depot
#

yeah

#

using c# in particular

ruby marsh
#

Game1.GetPlayer() should work but I didn't try that myself.

lucid iron
#

Yeah you need to get the farmhand's Farmer instance

west thunder
#

Like, at all.

#

Unless it's because I haven't updated my Monster Variety yet?

#

But that might just be reaching.

#

@autumn tide I'll need y'all's help after all.

short temple
west thunder
#

Yeah, I think I'll need help with i18n.

heavy pewter
#

They all call warpFarmer(locationRequest, ...) to warp the player to their designated locations

lucid iron
lucid iron
#

The catalogue has a little dialogue where you may open building menu

heavy pewter
lucid iron
#

Ah the ol platform specific behavior

lucid iron
#

Just to be extra sure it's a mobile quirk and not due to mod implementation

short temple
#

How i create a custom moving sprite inside a map? I want to do a dwarf working on a forge hitting it with his hammer

lucid iron
#

You can do animations in tmx

#

But is the dwarf a map tile or an actual NPC?

short temple
#

A kind of mix actually i want him to standby by in front of the forge hitting it and have a dialogue like, leave me work human i need to finish this tools

#

Dont know if i make an animated tile instead

#

Or a standstill NPC

urban patrol

#

Does anyone have any information on what DaisyNiko's recolors are doing on a layer adjustment level? I'm trying to use their Photoshop edit layers, but I use GIMP and my program doesn't have the features that are actually changing the color. I'm pretty sure GIMP has the tools needed to make the changes and I can do it if I just know what the adjustments are. I'm opening the layers in Photopea, but it won't tell me what those layers are doing. This is driving me crazy.
EDIT: Wait, I think I found the info in Photopia

lucid iron
lucid iron
short temple
#

I'm gonna need more coding for this to work

lucid iron
#

If u want to be able to talk to them, then a npc is easier yeah

short temple
#

Thanks for the advice pal

wet iris
#

nvm... it doesn't do it, there's just a machine control panel mod that shows it as that but then they dont actually turn into juice or anything

brittle pasture
#

I still don't see the code

wet iris
#

well

#

it works tho

brittle pasture
#

I assume that means you no longer need assistance with the code

wet iris
#

yeah thank you for being willing though 0:

#

i do appreciate it

autumn tide
lucid iron
#

That's why hops become pale ale instead of hops juice in vanilla

#

And machine control panel shows that as the pale ale rule first, followed by the juice rule (which contains hops as possible input even if normally not reachable)

autumn tide
wet iris
#

ig i can just put my special ones first instead of my bad old code đŸ˜©

odd ginkgo
#

whew, my mod overhaul is like 98% done and the last 2% is taking forever

#

marriage dialogue, festival data, movie theater data... what if I just say "no one can go to the movies" iswtg

lucid iron
#

It's achilles turtle

#

Every day 98% of the remaining work is done

ornate locust
#

Technically you can make people reject movie tickets...

#

I do it for just one kind of movie, but you can just decide NO MOVIE

gray bear
#

no more movie!!! not even fnaf 2

west thunder
#

So that's literally all the default file is, huh?

lucid iron
#

Yep it's not that complicated

#

The deal with configschema is that it uses specific keys that is documented, normally this is used via {{i18n: key}}

west thunder
#

So I can just have a billion different lines that just change the display names of config options?

lucid iron
#

Mhm

#

Just make it right format n u good

west thunder
#

Hm.

west thunder
#

Because the monsters seem to work perfectly with them.

gentle rose
#

did you remove the brackets?

west thunder
#

The parentheses?

#

Mhm.

#

No work.

gentle rose
#

new json in the validator and log please?

lucid iron
#

So the name in the config schema section is the token to use

#

You gotta make sure it all matches

#

Display name from i18n is only for gmcm

west thunder
#

It's Winter Star's Eve.

west thunder
#

Must be spaces then.

gentle rose
#

in that case, we can't debug theoretically but once you're at your computer we can help SDVpuffersquee

west thunder
#

But the monsters WORK with 'um. This is mystical.

gentle rose
#

is krobus' internal name actually krobus

lucid iron
#

Yeah i believe so

west thunder
gentle rose
#

don't abandon the festivities, we can do this tomorrow if you want

west thunder
#

Only two people.

#

Two very well fed, sleepy people.

#

Here you are. Back to the table I go.

gentle rose
#

when the festivities are actually over, the log would be helpful at this point

autumn tide
#

Okay I have returned- uhh lmk if I can help out Radical!

lucid iron
west thunder

#

would there possibly be an issue with putting quotes around “true” etc instead of bools

Silence, Guvvie.

west thunder
west thunder
urban patrol
#

what is your mod id so we can filter it

#

(for future reference though, it's usually best to test your own mods in isolation to rule out strange interactions with other mods)

lucid iron
#

Well it says it loaded krobus rn

west thunder
lucid iron
#

Are you failing at disabling

west thunder
#

If that's what it is.

west thunder
#

I then enabled the features in-game via the config to no avail.

lucid iron
#

Oh so delete config.json if u changed

west thunder
#

My Talkohlooey's portraits work fine though, but that's because they just replace the mod assets and not anything else.

west thunder
lucid iron
#

You can check the config json generated after first launch to see what it's at by default

autumn tide
#

Hm, you could set the portraits to low priority?

west thunder
#

Well, the config file I have up to this point had everything set to true.

image.png
#

Because I, of course, wanted to see if Kroby works.

west thunder
#

Nor why would I want to do that (curious, not confrontational).

autumn tide
#

OH to make the the Kroby portraits/sprites have lower priority to other portrait/sprite mods, assuming you’re including the Kroby stuff on your main monster recolor mod

west thunder
#

The only reason I made a redesign for him was to fit with the brutes and shamans.

#

And, in the future, snipers and... girls?

autumn tide
#

Alright! That way it can still be true by default and won’t override

west thunder
#

Shadow girls are a thing, apparently?

autumn tide
#

Idk why they got the girl sprite like that 😭

west thunder
#

Don't tell me.

#

I want it to be a surprise.

autumn tide
#

Why are the shadows so gender roles

west thunder
#

I've only got around to seeing the dangerous skull caverns.

#

Only a matter of time until I take a look at Danger in the Whatever.

autumn tide
#

Oh they’re not even in game

west thunder
#

WHAT?

#

Then what's the point?

autumn tide
#

YEAH

#

idk old remains of pre-release shit?

west thunder
#

Pretty sure the snipers are, though. People told me so.

autumn tide
#

Ngl I realllly hope they never gender role my beloved shadow blobs SDVpufferwaaah

lucid iron
west thunder
#

Might do something fun, because my brutes don't look mentally stable enough to wield a weapon, a ranged one at that.

autumn tide
#


although ngl the idea of the shadowfolk with bows being like the shadowfolk version of fembots or some shit would be very amusing

#

I don’t know why that came to mind

#

a profound silence has entered the chat

gentle rose
#

I think seasonal cute characters is editing over your krobus stuff

autumn tide
lucid iron
#

It's canon to me

autumn tide
west thunder
#

As intended, monsters true, Krobus false.

autumn tide
#

wait so what's not working?

gentle rose
west thunder
#

But how could this be?

#

I don't remember it changing Krobus

#

Let me double check.

autumn tide
#

maybe seasonal cute characters has some planned krobus edits and it's still in the files?

gentle rose
#

your log says it is

autumn tide
west thunder
#

this can't be

autumn tide
#

it seem that it can SDVpufferpensive

gentle rose
#

the logs don’t lie 😌

west thunder
#

My logs don't lie, and I'm startin' to feel they're right.

#

Odd. When I found out Cat Valley and my emote mod were conflicting, the console told me so.

#

Not this time, though.

#

Hmm.

autumn tide
#

hm

west thunder
autumn tide
#

mhm!

west thunder
#

Well, then I'll just need to disable 'um.

autumn tide
#

could also set your priority to higher if you want your mod to override others

gentle rose
#

it’s because there’s no conflict, you’re loading and they’re editing

west thunder
#

Mmmyeah, there's a Krobus portrait and overworld spritesheet. It's definitely the fault of the seasonal cuties.

#

Eh, either way, so long as theirs are disabled via config, everything should be alright.

#

I think. I hope.

autumn tide
#

it should! just maybe make a note that seasonal cute outfits has kroby stuff in your mod desc

gentle rose
#

or not. lots of mods edit krobus, it’s not really your problem tbh

autumn tide
#

OH also if you still want me to show you how to the i18n stuff I'd be happy to help!

west thunder
#

I'll add a heads-up to check for anything that might interfere.

west thunder
autumn tide
#

yeah, it just seems that mod users can be irritating about compat LOL

west thunder
#

For now, I just want to test it out and hopefully update the mod tonight.

autumn tide
#

alr!

west thunder
gentle rose
#

this is why we say test on a minimal loadout though

autumn tide
#

happy update :)

#

oh and christmas eve-

west thunder
#

Thank you, triple.

#

You lot have been quite helpful.

autumn tide
west thunder
#

You've saved the mod, as per usual.

autumn tide
#

aww :) this server's really awesome

#

everyone's so helpful it's rlly sweet

west thunder
#

This is quite possibly the most helpful server I've actually been in.

#

No matter when the channel was last active, at least one person immediately answers to your questions.

autumn tide
#

oh yeah it's awesome!

west thunder
#

You dudes are like supercomputers.

odd ginkgo
#

hi ya'll, can someone help me figure out what's going wrong with this indoor window in the spouse room?

Screenshot_2025-12-24_140417.png
#

these are the map properties

Screenshot_2025-12-24_140539.png
odd ginkgo
autumn tide
urban patrol
odd ginkgo
#

otherwise... maybe no window and I'll test whether the player can place one

urban patrol
#

did you patch reload/exit and re-enter the location/sleep?

odd ginkgo
#

I did not!

#

okay, some more testing to do

urban patrol
#

day/night tiles and light are weird, especially when cheating to test stuff

odd ginkgo
#

I keep trying to remember that about all the playtesting haha, events happening out of order and dialogue happening out of order because I keep manipulating time lol

latent mauve
#

spouse room windows tend to be strange because the day/night tile properties are actually set in the Farmhouse itself and not the spouseroom map.

#

The DayTiles and NightTiles map properties are cleared when loading the spouse room, so custom values for those properties won't work for married players.

lucid mulch
#

There is a hard coded list of tile indexes that will automatically append to the day/night map properties which the spouse rooms do use

odd ginkgo
#

so the window needs to just be in the spot where it's hardcoded to be

#

I'll look at the vanilla spouse rooms

latent mauve
#

More important that you just use the actual tile they use for those windows, based on what SinZ is saying

lucid mulch
#

Its the vanilla tilesheet coordinates more than the actual tile

latent mauve
#

by tile I meant the tile in that spriteindex rather than the location of said tile on the map. 🙂

#

so the same one on the vanilla tilesheet, yep

autumn tide
#

also on the topic of spouse rooms- okay so basically I wanna make krobus's spouse room partially closed off bc I'm making them autistic and they need time alone- would it be possible to make a spouse room enclosed like that wish extra walls? or just should i straight up add a warp thingy (that leads to a new room where kroby spends his alone time) to the spouse room?

odd ginkgo
lucid mulch
#

Putting a warp in there does not seem easy

autumn tide
#

aww :(

lucid mulch
#

I haven't tried personally, but warps in farmhouse in general are a pain, and that's before taking into account trying to put it in the spouse room

autumn tide
#

gotchaaa okay

#

maps for me are just a mystery in general

#

maps are some vauge higher power the mortal mind was never meant to comprehend

lucid mulch
#

Farmhouse is the weirdest map in the game

lucid iron
#

maybe u can just leave that spot blank

latent mauve
#

Elliott just goes invisible when he's on his book tour

#

sparrow you should use tilesheetinator

#

!tilesheetinator

ocean sailBOT
#

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.
autumn tide
#

wait how tf does the default marriage schedule

odd ginkgo
autumn tide
#

i was thinking they spend a select amount of time in their room etc etc but HOW DOES SCHEDULE

latent mauve
#

They spend time in their room if it's raining mostly

#

Saturdays are patio days

autumn tide
#

cause even with csk idek how to define where in the farmhouse to put them-

lucid iron
#

hm sparrowfren since u have mmap as a dependency u can probably fake day/night tiles with a TAS and a light yggy

autumn tide
#

ohh and kroby also is only outisde on rainy days..

lucid iron
#

thats how the new glowing trees work

#

the lights (which r very hd) are a long lasting TAS

odd ginkgo
#

oh!! I might as well go all out if I'm going to make it required

lucid iron
#

i never attempted to use it for spouse room so uh, it might be haunted blobcatgooglyblep

autumn tide
#

SDV scares me

uncut viper
autumn tide
#

oh god of course this bitch is even more complex-

#

no disrespect kroby you're my blorbo SDVpufferheart

lucid iron
#

everyone knows there are 3 genders, bachlor bachlorette and krobus

uncut viper
#

yeah Krobus doesnt use the spouse patio

autumn tide
latent mauve
#

Krobus doesn't want to be seen, he does not go outside on patio days.

autumn tide
uncut viper
#

He will stand on the porch tho

lucid iron
#

he doesn't even have a patio in vanilla right

autumn tide
#

nope

uncut viper
#

just doesnt like the sun

latent mauve
#

yep, just close enough to duck inside if needed, Button

uncut viper
#

Also Claude don't bank on CSK being 100% foolproof for married/roommated NPCs

autumn tide
#

oh ik lol, but better than vanilla

uncut viper
#

fuck if i know how to untangle marriage duties properly

latent mauve
#

In vanilla, Krobus expresses at one point that even though he's moving in, he doesn't want to be seen by the other villagers, so Krobus has some odd behaviors that are in keeping with that.

calm nebula
autumn tide
#

ahem.. CA.... if you ever wanna wholly redo the schedule thing that'd be nice-

autumn tide
autumn tide
lucid iron
#

it uses another thing (wild tree tile props) but in your case you'd use them as ordinary tmx TileData props on the spouse room

mellow laurel
fossil osprey
#

Yeah

lucid iron
#

oh does AT still have the wallpaper bug

#

jank where it is not quite flush with bottom tile

mellow laurel
#

hmm including the shadow? I will test.

#

i wish we could actually see files for mods without downloading

#

cuz sometimes i don't want to download a whole mod just to check something

west thunder
#

It appears I am eligible for getting the dangerously cheesy Mod Author role.

#

Would anyone have the time to assist in these endeavours?

#

mhm!

not rn, but want me to showcase your mod?

did you send a private message to @outer glacier ?

dont need my help and im not qualified anyways

tender agate
#

does it count capitals as a separate letter

tender agate
uncut viper
#

its a wiki. you choose where to put the edit

hard fern
tender agate
#

yes but which wiki

uncut viper
#

(in general. this wiki page in particular is meant to be alphabetical, but you still have to intentionally make it so)

#

the normal wiki

#

should be above radium yeah

#

though the list is already slightly inconsistent in other ways anyway

#

so i dont know how much the junimos really care

tender agate
#

oh wow didn't know there's a wiki list of mod authors that's crazy

uncut viper
#

you have to be on this page in order to have the server role and decompile repo access (if applicable)

#

they are synchronized

#

(which is why you cant just add yourself to it willy nilly)

tender agate
#

decompile repo access?

uncut viper
#

yes. mod authors of level 50+ can request access to a private GitHub repository that contains a cleaned up version of the decompile

tender agate
#

oh...that sounds useful

uncut viper
#

its not source code, it is still the same decompile you could make yourself

#

but with a bit more work put into it so it can be recompiled or ran in debug mode or whatever and has the commit history to see changes across versions

lucid mulch
#

same decompile with a bunch of manual fixes applied so it can recompile again

uncut viper
#

and also has the unpack too i believe

#

but dont quote me on that one

lucid mulch
#

unpack and extra to actually extract the shader effects that the standard unpack cant do

uncut viper
#

quote sinz on it

@autumn tide Info about config because I saw you talking about it before: spaces are allowed but I recommend not using them because imo it's a better habit to be in to not put spaces in keys. Also, don't use the Description field because the description should be i18ned as well and you don't need the field to be present in the ConfigSchema for config.<name>.description to work as an i18n key.

autumn tide
autumn tide
vernal crest
#

Yeah it's super handy!

autumn tide
#

oh also happy christmas! it is christmas day for you right?

vernal crest
#

You can use it for values as well, though I found that the value IDs need to match the i18n if you want to be accessible for blind players because Stardew Access reads out the value rather than the i18n.

#

Yes it is, thank you and merry christmas for you as well :)

Excuse me, I have a question about a certain function. Someone told me that with a certain code or command I can track a specific word within the game and replace it with another without having to search individually in each dialogue.

#

I'm doing the change manually, dialog by dialog, but I don't understand how to do it with events.

vernal crest
#

The same way you do it with dialogue. Target the asset that the event is in, copy the entire event into your file, and change the name in each place in that event.

brave fable
#

the way of doing it automatically and programmatically would be by writing a c# mod to replace all pattern matches on all data assets loaded

rough lake
brittle pasture
brave fable
#

oh

brittle pasture
#

it is not compatible with any additional dialogue mod as a result

rough lake
brittle pasture
brave fable
#

well to be fair any attempt at this problem is going to be incompatible with something

#

e.g. Sebby or seb or sebdog instead of sebastian

hard fern
#

sebdog...

rough lake
#

{
"LogName": "Maru Dialogue", //Dialogue changes for Maru
"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Characters/Dialogue/Maru",
"Entries": { //Name change + Gender specific language.
"summer_Tue": ,
"summer_Tue4":

#

Hey, what's the code that works? Because since I've only changed the dialogue, I can't get any character to mention it to confirm that it works.

hard fern
#

you're missing some } though

vernal crest
#

You can use console commands to make them say a specific line. Like debug loaddialogue Maru Characters/Dialogue/Maru:summer_Tue

hard fern

#

aaaaa thank you

#

And by any chance, is there anyone here who would like to teach me how to write a C# mod? I'd like my mod to be compatible with others like STE.

hard fern
#

STE?

vernal crest
#

We can point you in the right direction to find resources for learning C# but to ask someone to personally teach it to you is to ask a lot.

rough lake
#

jajaja

#

I think I wrote it too fast and changed a letter.

rough lake
#

Okay, so how do you create a C# file? What's the difference between that and a JSON file?

vernal crest
#

You could try looking at the C# comms people and seeing if you could offer to pay them for lessons

#

JSON is a data storage format, it merely stores data in a specific format so programs can read it. C# is a programming language - you use it to write the programs that do things like read JSON file data (and everything else - Stardew Valley is written in C#).

rough lake
#

ohh....

vernal crest
#

Usually when people say "ohhhh" they don't understand, is that what is happening for you?

rough lake
#

No, it's just that I suppose it's difficult because we're talking about a programming language like Java?

vernal crest
#

Yep, exactly

rough lake
#

:,v

brittle pasture
#

how much experience do you have with programming

vernal crest
#

If you know Java already, learning C# won't be too hard

okey

#

I'm going to try to venture into the world of C#.

#

If this blows up, I'm afraid I'll have to ask for your help again.

#

#

Start by following the tutorial Selph linked to get a simple C# mod working without trying to make it do anything to dialogue or names yet

rough lake
#

Okay, the thing is, for now my .json mod only changes the character's appearance and name in dialogue boxes and menus.

#

So I haven't really accomplished much.

vernal crest
#

I'm not sure how that is related to what I said?

rough lake
#

perhaps I misinterpreted it

#

It's because I don't speak English, well, it's not my native language.

vernal crest
#

I was just saying don't try to make the C# mod change any names at first.

rough lake
#

That's why I'm having so much trouble understanding this; the help pages are in English, and things get lost when they're translated.

vernal crest
#

Just follow the tutorial exactly.

rough lake
#

🙁

vernal crest
#

It does sound really difficult, I'm sorry

#

What's your first language, Mariel? a small number of the help pages were translated into Chinese

rough lake
#

spanish xd

gentle rose
#

oh SDVkrobusgiggle should have guessed from the name, really

rough lake
#

I can translate them without a problem, but sometimes the translation changes too much what it says or misinterprets everything, or if

gentle rose
#

let us know whenever that happens so we can both help you and improve the help pages

Hahaha, yes, it's classic for Spanish speakers to have biblical names, sometimes I hate it :,v

Hey can I get some help with an error in my mod, I keep getting the I can't load "- your mod because its DLL has no 'Mod' subclass." I followed the guide on the wiki but I don't know what the problem is.

vernal crest
#

Can you show what you've got? Ideally via github link?

swift ravine
#

I don't have a github link sadly, but I can put the basic code here

public class ModEntry : Mod
{
/*********
** Public methods

/// <summary>The mod entry point, called after the mod is first loaded.</summary>
/// <param name="helper">Provides simplified APIs for writing mods.</param>
public override void Entry(IModHelper helper)
{

}

    /*********

    /// <summary>Raised after the player presses a button on the keyboard, controller, or mouse.</summary>

    private void OnButtonPressed(object? sender, ButtonPressedEventArgs e)
    {
        // ignore if player hasn't loaded a save yet
        if (!Context.IsWorldReady)
            return;

        // print button presses to the console window
        this.Monitor.Log($"{Game1.player.Name} pressed {e.Button}.", LogLevel.Debug);
    }
}

}

#

I'm pretty new to this lol

#

I'm still pretty new to C# myself unfortunately, but I can see that you didn't copy and paste exactly from the tutorial

#

Why don't you try doing that and see how that works?

okie

#

Even with it directly copied I get the same error

#

đŸ€” can we target specific lines in events with TextOperations or no?

#

since i know you can do it with gift tastes, i thought maybe it might work for events, since they both have those slashes

brave fable
#

sure, you can use text operations on any text

#

since event lines are slash-delimited just the same way as simple data entries like fish and gift tastes, it'd be exactly the same setup as for those

hard fern
#

oh ok good

#

the hard part is uh... counting. i guess.

vernal crest
#

You don't count for text operations, you specify the delimiter and then the value to search for between the delimiters

hard fern
#

but maybe im confused at what you're talking about

vernal crest
#

Are you doing replace delimited?

hard fern
#

?

#

SDVpufferwaaah im confused

#

uhh ok wait i think i get it... maybe

vernal crest
#

What kind of TextOperations patch are you doing?

hard fern
#

i want to replace specific lines of dialogue in an event

#

...actually it might just be better for me to edit the entire event

#

now that i'm thinking about it

gray bear
#

can you edit one line from an event?

vernal crest
#

I personally prefer to use ReplaceDelimited rather than everything the whole event

#

Yes you can

#

I helped someone edit just one sentence inside a speak command, even.

#

Forsy if you're trying to replace specific lines but you don't know what ReplaceDelimited is... I'm not sure you're actually doing TextOperations

hard fern
vernal crest
#

You forgot that you'd written it?

#

You can replace commands by counting the fields btw but you don't use TextOperations for that, you use Fields

hard fern
#

im too busy thinking about editing gift tastes with that

#

so i confused myself

#

and didn't realize what you were talking about even existed

vernal crest
#

I see lol

gray bear
#

speaking of gift tastes, the way to add specific ones for NPCs is to edit their dialouge and use AcceptGift_<id> right?

vernal crest
#

That's to give them specific responses, it doesn't affect whether the gift is loved, liked, etc

#

Though you could make the taste for the item neutral and then use an action in the dialogue line to add friendship points - but they wouldn't get any bonuses for birthdays that way

gray bear
#

thank you! already set is as hated/loved etc just haven't added the dialouge for it yet.

can we see all of your code in the json validator please?

!json

ocean sailBOT

JSON is a standard format for machine-readable text files that's used by Stardew Valley mods.

If you need help with a JSON file, you can upload it to smapi.io/json to see automatic validation and share the link here.

When making mods, it's recommended to edit your files in a text editor with JSON support, such as VS Code, Notepad++, or Sublime Text. These programs will check for syntax errors.

To use this command, type !json.

Creating Translation Capability

So you'd like to stop writing all of \"your strings straight in your content.json?\" and/or you'd like the capability to see all of your strings across all of your .jsons?
Introducing i18n!

  • How to make your mod compatible with other languages: stardewmodding.wiki.gg

  • The file where you can put all of your strings is called default.json, and it sits in a folder at the same level of your assets, named "i18n".

  • If you're converting from an older version of the game, there's a converter for ease-of-access.

Not to be confused with {{DynamicTokens}} since these require the specific {{i18n:<KEY>}} modifier

To use this command, type !i18n.

The mod finally works, but now I have a problem that I don't know if it was my fault.

#

I managed to change his name in the dialogues, but sometimes when I talk or interact with others, the game appears in English.

ornate trellis
#

did you touch any strings or CTs

rough lake
#

I don't think so, only what appears in my .json file that I sent.

royal stump
#

Is your game language set to English on the main menu? Your edits don't have any "When" conditions, so they'll be active in any language setting.

rough lake
#

My game is in Spanish because that's the language I speak.

royal stump
#

I'd recommend checking anyway, but if it's still set to Spanish, try removing other mods, or temporarily remove yours. Nothing in your uploaded file can change the other dialogue's language.

rough lake
#

I just noticed that it only happens with some dialogues or texts; I've already spoken to several villagers, including Vincent, and his other dialogues seem to be fine.

#

I only have these installed and none of them interfere with the language.

took a bit to search because it tokenizes names and such, but that example is in it

"Sat_1": "{{KentParentUC}}'s coming back soon!#$b#I hope {{KentGenderLC}} brings me some toys.$u",  ```
ornate trellis
#

ahhh

rough lake
#

But then the problem isn't with my mod?

royal stump
#

the English lines are because of Villager Manager, yes

#

your mod would do similar things (show Spanish lines for players in other languages), but it's fine otherwise

rough lake
#

Ah, okay, thank you so much nwn

#

They told me I should do an i18 but I can barely figure out what the heck I'm doing with my mod haha

royal stump
#

yeah, that part's a bit more complicated, just saying "only use this if you're playing in Spanish" is fine

rough lake
#

Let me see if I understand. i18 involves placing all the text in a separate .json file, and then placing the commands in the main file, which is content.json. For example:
"LogName": "Dialogue Jodi",
"Action": "EditData",
"Objective": "Characters/Dialogue/Jodi",
"Entries": {
"dating_Sam_memory_oneday": "{{i18n:jodi.dating}}",
How do I connect these to i18 and allow other players to translate into their respective languages?

#

I think I misspelled what I said last, it's

#

And that's how I connect this to i18 and allow other players to translate it into their respective languages

royal stump
#

yes, {{i18n:jodi.dating}} gets replaced with the appropriate text from a translation file in the SamToFang 1/i18n folder
if the game is set to Spanish, it should use the text from es.json, or default.json if that doesn't exist
and those i18n files would just need to contain something like this

{
  "jodi.dating": "write your text here"
}```
rough lake
#

It's placing, for example in this case, Jodi before the event name, like this: "Jodi.dating_Sam_memory_oneday":

#

And this is what goes inside the content.json file: {{i18n:jodi.dating}}

royal stump
#

"dating_Sam_memory_oneday" should stay that way whether you use i18n or not, the i18n key doesn't need to be there

The answer is that u can combine multiple price modifiers but making custom one in C# is a bit of a pain

oh, I meant for the whole shop? I made this thing lol

#

The principal is the same tho

autumn tide
#

gotchaaa okay

#

Am not at my puter so I'm just trusting you when you say this field exists sleep

royal stump
#

wiki does say there's a shop pricemod and a per-item pricemod

autumn tide

just yoinked it from pierre's shop

and quantity modifiers are all lists since they share code iirc

#

(not quite sure what the question here is, though)

autumn tide
#

tbh i've kinda lost track too- /hj
i was just worried that the price modifiers field was somehow hardcoded bc I only saw it for the seedshop, but it looks like it's not?

(okay yeah, both lists)

they should work the same for any shop, afaik

royal stump
#

unless that would happen before it ends? I'm not sure if there's a post-dialogue trigger (or a need for one)

rough lake
#

Help, my i18n isn't working, the game says it can't find the translation

that means the key doesnt match
what's your i18n file look like

rough lake
brittle pasture
#

you have a stray } at the end

plucky vortex

#

I think you also need the trigger action to reset the dialogue

#

one extra
every { must have a matching }, and you can count them

that means the file is invalid

#

try reversing the order of the commands

#

possible that the opening of the shop, which erases the current menu in favour of a shop menu, prevents the dialogue box (which is a menu) from doing any action that comes after, since it is being forcibly closed

It seems that the dialogue isn't being added despite me rearranging the order

#

Another question to link the change in the event dialogs in the i18n co, is the content the same as normal dialogs?

#

I mean, is this same format used or is a different one?
"{{i18n:caroline.AcceptGift_(O)16}}",

vernal crest
#

You always use the format {{i18n: <key here> }} (except for ConfigSchema). You decide what the actual key is - it doesn't matter to Content Patcher what the key is as long as it matches between the i18n token and the i18n file key.

rough lake
#

And what should be placed within the {{i18n: <key here> }} for the program to localize the translation? in the case of events

vernal crest
#

Anything you want.

#

As I said, you decide what the key should be.

#

It just has to match between your Data/Events/<Location> file and your default.json (or es.json if you're writing yours in Spanish)

#

Would you like an example of what I mean?

rough lake
#

That's just how events look.

# rough lake That's just how events look.

Ok here is an example using a few lines from this event that you showed me. You do not have to use event.45.lewis.# as your i18n key, that's just how I do mine so it's easy to use the key to see what is happening. The important part is just that your patch editing Data/Events/Town has i18n keys that match what is in your es.json.

    "Target": "Data/Events/Town",

#

If you're wondering about the TextOperations, it's how to edit an event without making it completely incompatible with other mods.

rough lake
#

ammm

vernal crest
#

If you make sure your mod runs later than other mods, you will be able to change the dialogue even if the other mod has edited the event, as long as they didn't change the dialogue itself. You could do that if you replaced the entire event using EditData too, but then you'd replace the whole event with the vanilla one.

rough lake
#

Do you know how to change the names of objects or locations? I need to change the name of, for example, "Sam's house" to "Fang's house"

rough lake
vernal crest
#

Where in the game does it say "Sam's House"? (Asking because I can't remember)

brittle pasture
#

location data has a display name field

#

I'm not actually sure if it's used anywhere visible in the unmodded game

vernal crest
vernal crest
rough lake
#

I think that's the name of the location on the map "Sam's house" although it actually says something like "Sam, Jodi, Vincent and Kent's house"

brittle pasture
#

if you unpack the files and look at Data/Locations you can see the field in question

rough lake
#

{
"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Strings/NPCNames",
"Entries": {
"Sam": "Fang"
}
Does the one I use change its name in the menu and dialog box, also on the map?

brittle pasture
#

hiiiii there!
so i'm not entirely sure where i should insert this question of mine, & i do apologize if this isn't quite the correct place, but um... would it perhaps be feasible to commission a mod artist to update an older mod (which isn't mine) & make it fully compatible for 1.6? it would be solely for my own personal use, of course :')) i've just been trying to do so myself with this mod in particular for hours on end, but still to no avail........ therefore, it is admittedly starting to drive me off-the-walls freaking bonkers!!!!!! catclap

What mod is it? The answer depends on the permissions.

it would be the "project yellog town overhaul" mod, by @/YriKururu on nexus.

gentle rose
#

I think the concept of personal use gets stretched if the art is shared or especially if it’s commissioned SDVpufferthinkblob so you’re back to needing permission

hard fern
#

Yri's permissions are closed, as far as I know. And Yellog's as well

vernal crest
#

There is a way: the person updating it doesn't touch any assets

#

If it's possible to write the mod such that the user can drag and drop the existing assets into it (or drag and drop the new json into the existing mod) then it can be updated without any asset sharing

hard fern
#

But that would make it impossible to "fully" update the mod to account for new tilesheets, wouldn't it?

vernal crest
#

The person with the assets would need to make their own, personal use, updates to the new tilesheets.

#

So if they weren't able to do that, yeah, it would make it impossible.

#

Looks like it's not on Nexus anymore, so you'd be limited to getting help either only from people who already own the mod, or making placeholder assets that the updater could use to write the new json around

brave fable
#

it should be fine to serialise the item instance itself, not just the id -- it'll be important to save quality, quantity, custom fields, moddata, preserved sheet index, parent item, and so on

Hey everyone, I didn’t quite understand what the difference is between using AliasTokenNames and DynamicTokens.

For example, to replace
"Strings\schedules\{{ModId}}_NPCNameCan
I use AliasTokenNames, or do I need to use DynamicTokens?

I honestly didn’t understand much of the difference between them. Could someone please explain it to me?

gray bear
#

what are AliasTokenNames? can't say ive heard of them

vernal crest
#

Aliases are just to let you use a shorter name for your token

#

I've never actually seen anyone use them

#

Probably because we don't really have long token names for the most part since 1.6 with things like JA and DGA not being current anymore.

vernal crest
patent lanceBOT
tepid prawn
# vernal crest You need a dynamic token if you want to use that as a value, but you're only goi...

Hm, I’m not sure I understood.
In Schedules, for example, I’m going to use multiple animations that start with {{ModId}}_name1_(actionID), and multiple dialogue entries that are Strings\\schedules\\{{ModId}}_name1:(dialogueID).
And I have this for several NPCs I’m going to create, each one with multiple schedules.

From my perspective, it would be useful to create an AliasTokenNames or a DynamicToken where {{name1}} would be equivalent to {{ModId}}_name1, replacing {{ModId}}_name1_(actionID) with {{name1}}_(actionID). Likewise, {{Strings_name1}} would be equivalent to Strings\\schedules\\{{ModId}}_name1, replacing Strings\\schedules\\{{ModId}}_name1:(dialogueID) with {{Strings_name1}}:(dialogueID).

Does that make sense? Is there another, easier way to do this?

calm nebula
#

Dynamic token

#

AliasTokenName is for the token name itself

vernal crest
#

I would personally make a json snippet in my VSC settings rather than cluttering up my mod with a dynamic token just to give myself less writing, but I know others do it.

tepid prawn
#

It makes sense! And how do I usually reference that file inside the schedule?

vernal crest
#

Same way you do with the strings one

#

Characters\\Dialogue\\NPCName:KeyName

tepid prawn
#

Ah, perfect! Either way, I think it would also be useful to use snippets or DynamicTokens for this.

Thank you very much, everyone!

ocean sailBOT
#

JSON is a standard format for machine-readable text files that's used by Stardew Valley mods.

If you need help with a JSON file, you can upload it to smapi.io/json to see automatic validation and share the link here.

When making mods, it's recommended to edit your files in a text editor with JSON support, such as VS Code, Notepad++, or Sublime Text. These programs will check for syntax errors.

To use this command, type !json.
latent mauve
#

It's even easier if you put the code in there and then link it

However the first thing I would look for is an error in your SMAPI log, as it's possible your location isn't being loaded because of an issue with your map tmx file @terse spruce

For you Windows wizards, I've had some player issues with people using Windows NT not having event commands work, specifically "setDating". Both players who were kind enough to send their logs have very few mods, none of which would interfere with relationship status. Is this a limitation with that version of Windows?

There's no setDating event command in the base game; is that added by a mod?
