It's just that no one does this for png cus no advantage

autumn tide
#

mhm

lucid iron
#

While ppl often do so for data assets because you get to use tokens

autumn tide
#

okay

#

so, I make a new file for my localizedText keys, and that file is loaded into blank.json, which is included by my content file?

lucid iron
#

You have all the words but the order is incorrect Dokkan

autumn tide
#

fuck

lucid iron
#

Do you have a blank.json first of all

autumn tide
#

mhm!

#

but i've never used it for anything

#

it's just chilling there

lucid iron
#

You load that into "whatever target you want"

#

And the target becomes the thing you write before the :

autumn tide
#

...brain is lagging like hell one second

#

also tysm for your help!

lucid iron
#

I stress again that Include is basically just a way to tell CP to go to this other file and paste those patches in right here

autumn tide
#

mhm

lucid iron
#

It does nothing to the actual game content

autumn tide
#

okayy, so would this be correct? I'm sorry I take forever to learn shit-

 {
            "Action": "Load",
            "Target": "FileWithKeys",
            "FromFile": "blank.json"
        },
lucid iron
#

Yeah

#

You may note that I keep calling these assets instead of files

autumn tide
#

mhm

lucid iron
#

The distinction matters cus assets is what game uses to reference stuff it doesn't know about the file system

autumn tide
lucid iron
#

After the Load you also wanna do the EditData

autumn tide
#

okay, so like

lucid iron
#

To quickly test a token u can do

debug token [LocalizedText claude.Krobo:playernameDwarf]
autumn tide
#

dammit hit enter too fast-

#

mhm!

lucid iron
#

Lastly give the asset a more unique name than FileWithKeys

okay could someone go over that again please SDVpufferwaaah I'm really sorry-

It's like tossing ppl shark pool u see

side question: I know that Button's Emote Framework makes it so that you can make emotes of (almost) any size, is there something like this that could apply to regular items? like, if instead of 'onion egg rice bowl' or 'specialtotemcharm' being 16x16, I could make them like, 32x32 instead?

hallow prism
#

there was a mod for that at some point, i'm not sure if it's still up to date

lucid iron
#

Do u want it to become more HD or become actually just bigger

odd ginkgo
# lucid iron Feed it to the nerd pool

In one of my new maps, the Cove, there's a set of tiles that are getting re-arranged. Same tiles each time, and I'm pretty sure it's the ones I borrowed from the ginger island tilesheet, to "jazz up" the beach. I think it's a recolor that's doing it, but it's been two users so far with the exact same tiles...

autumn tide
#

okay SO - I plop this into my content.json

 {
            "Action": "Load",
            "Target": "HITC_FileWithKeys",
            "FromFile": "blank.json"
        },

and THEN... uhhhhhh

opaque field
#

I want to have just a little more room to make sprites but still have them look the right size in game. I keep trying to make a choker/collar item but there just aren't enough pixels - so maybe more HD?

lucid iron
#

You can use spacecore for that

odd ginkgo
#

you can see the tiles are exactly where some islandy bushes go

sw76Icx.jpeg
lucid iron
#

This doesn't look vanilla

#

Do you know what recolor they used?

odd ginkgo
#

They said Vibrant Pastoral, and that they tried disabling it, but it didn't change anything

lucid iron
#

You should ask them for a patch export mapnamewrittenout

#

Make sure they send you the tmx + all pngs

odd ginkgo
lucid iron
#

This is assuming you can't reproduce

odd ginkgo
#

I just needed a direction

lucid iron
#

And that these are all vanilla sheets

#

Most likely their sheet is not correct bc tile recolor messed up

#

You can see how they are consistently wrong

odd ginkgo
lucid iron
#

Btw cc my fren express interest in translating your mods to chinese but they aren't i18n'd atm right

hallow prism
#

i was like "what is this command "mapnamewrittenout"" for a few seconds

opaque field

I do think it's usually better to start with i18n but y'know not too late to fix it

Early on in overhauling, I put a bunch of dialogue for Taro in, and it kept returning errors, so I never went back to try again even though I KNOW it's necessary

autumn tide
#

i can help with i18n-ing!!

opaque field
#

That's what I've been doing with my mods that I'm currently working on - Shane has been such a lesson

odd ginkgo
#

I just need to take a whole afternoon and i18n-ify... anyone who wants to help is my hero

autumn tide
#

i can!

#

maybe we could do a trade or something?

autumn tide
#

YES

#

anything to not do spritework

uhh can I DM you?

#

I'm hoping to have an update out for Shane that includes everythging being in i18n soon, but I'm struggling to make the event locations visitable and have the fish part work T.T

hallow prism
#

what do you have trouble with exactly?

opaque field
#

When I try and fish there I just get junk rather than any of the fish I listed T.T

#

i18n ifyer also doesn't seem to play well with the {{ModId}} prefeix

lucid iron
#

I don't think it resolves tokens

opaque field

itttt doesn't haha

I just renewed HiDive to watch made in abyss though so I'mma sit down and just try and blast through these objects XD

you can provide your json for help with the fishes part

Getting closer on my Gun Blade. Just need to work out how to rotate the sword during firing. You guys know any mods that do custom weapon animations?

where is it defined? what is the purpose?

can you try commenting it, and removing all the

and see if you do fish something?

opaque field
hallow prism

it may be useful in areas with two different water point, like pond/river in the forest

immense joy ensues crackling intensifies

glad i was able to help

(iirc I think one other mod it affects is Machine Terrain Framework? from last time I saw SinZ mention it. however for my two cents since I am one of the ones it breaks, I'd be perfectly happy to accept such a breaking change since the benefits outweigh it and fixing the issue is easy anyway, I just haven't yet because it's currently not required. So if it is just me and MTF feel free to act like it's just MTF SDVpuffersquee )

Hi! I'm looking for a mod to change the icons for a couple tree seeds? (Maple and Birch I think)

sorey

dusty pine
#

sigh I have finally returned to the game to learn that my mod is now completely obsolete because CA did his own version of it in the updates hahahahhahahhaha

lucid iron
#

You are promoted to vanilla congratulations

#

What is the mod btw Bolb

opaque field
#

ok so for i18n ifying my config.. do I just put the part it gives me in the default like everything else or do I need to add like {{i18n:PlayerPronoun1.name}} to the config section of my content.json?

dusty pine
#

Immersive Festival Dialogue

#

it added over 600 new lines just for festivals after year 1

lucid iron
lucid iron
ornate locust
#

Probably just have to change it to apply to the y2 keys too

lucid iron
#

It depends on how you want to handle an update (assuming that's why you are in this channel)

#

Besides that maybe u can just use _y3 and on keys?

ivory plume
#

(If there's one thing players always want, it's even more dialogue.)

lucid iron
#

Hm can u queue up more dialogue if u do some text operation append with #$e#

hallow prism
#

yeah and variation so things aren't always the same

lucid iron
#

Does that work bolbthinking

dusty pine
ornate locust
#

Doesn't adding years break basically everything? Or is that just for positioning.

hallow prism
lucid iron
#

When I looked at the dialogue logic it seems to be limited to the character

#

So it should be fine to have shane on y5 dialogue and some modded npc on their y1

hallow prism
#

i make a mod when i use append to add to vanilla dialogues, it works fine, it may just be weird if another mod edits the original, vanilla line

#

but well, good enough

dusty pine
#

It's been so long since I did any mod writing (2018) so I have to do a lot of work just to get current. But I've always wanted to update it

lucid iron
#

I was thinking itd be nice if u can have like 3-5 dialogue in 1 fest

#

To make seeing all 600 a little more practical

dusty pine
#

they were spaced out over years and based on relationship status

lucid iron
#

Fwiw i don't think there's been that much changes in the dialogue syntax

ornate locust
#

Yeah, if it's conditional like that, you can probably just apply it to both y1 and y2 and be done with it. The conditions would do most of the work

lucid iron
#

Though i assume $query would have been after your time Dokkan

ornate locust
#

maybe just bump back whatever conditions space them out over years so they start on y3 instead of y2 so both vanilla ones get seen

opaque field
#

can I use the i18n-ifyer to also make my event guide easily translatable?

#

hm wait maybe not cuz the guide is a txt not a json

ornate locust
#

I think there's not much easier to translate than a txt file

#

i18n is for stuff mixed up in code, generally

opaque field
#

oh okay cool :3 theennnnnnnnn I think I just need to add i18n for my furniture

#

and then test the locations, event updates, buffs, weapons, and dialogue triggers

#

wait before I dive in for my testing. I want to use Meep on a tv I put in the remake of Shane's room I did. Do I target the map I made with the actual tv or do I target AnimalShop?

balmy valve
#

i think it's finally time to add SVE compat to CtrlAltZero. How would I go about making a dynamic token to change the location of Alta's house? Or would I need to make a new map portion entirely?

urban patrol
#

yeah you’ll probably have to make a new map patch

#

SVE frequently shifts things by like one tile

ornate locust
#

even if you do not think you need to make a new patch, you need to make a new patch

urban patrol
#

i guess you could technically do patch mode overlay and just change coords but that’s iffy

#

easier to just visualize with a new map

ornate locust
#

I went through the "this looks the same- oh actually this one tree is over a tile" thing

#

cliff edge moved by one tile, etc

urban patrol
#

so annoying

ornate locust
#

And if your patch has the ground in it, that may have also changed just a teeny bit, enough to notice

balmy valve
#

ok.

#

so im just gonna make a new map and use that for the patch

ornate locust
#

It's your safest bet, yeah

balmy valve
#

alright

#

now to open the SVE map into Tiled and have a nice long cry...

#

oh my god

#

never mind

#

SVE users can rot

#

I need medication for this

urban patrol
#

use tilesheetinator

balmy valve
#

it's a future rohan problem oh my god

urban patrol
#

!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.
ornate locust
#

Tilesheetinator does really speed up loading those tilesheets like a dream

balmy valve
#

im just gonna

#

not

#

for now

#

i still have i18n to focus on first, even with the i18nifier

#

Doofenshmirtz ahh names

#

"Ahhh, Perry the Stardew modder! Behold, my tilesheetinator!"

ornate locust
#

it does do this with one button once you have it set up though

absolutely my favorite modding tool (sorry soundboard you're still up there)

what is the button

#

NOO and then I have to adjust NPC schedules as well and I go back to school on the 4th

#

Hell no im not starting this

urban patrol
#

you would only have to change schedule points if they're hanging out in their yard or smth

balmy valve
#

they are

constantly

all the time

WAIT once the community center is built do the ladies go there for aerobics instead of pierre's??

ok good

autumn tide
#

okayyy would anyone who does C# modding be willing to make a small patch for me? basically there's this thing in the sewers where Kroby's shop is hardcoded to only appear when roommated, could someone just ditch the code so I could add the shop chest myself? if you wanna trade for it, just ask, I can help out a little with most stuff!

iron ridge
#

so that the shop would be always the roommate version?

uncut viper
#

you should be able to just add the shop tile yourself

#

as long as the tile index is the same

#

if its the same exact chest from the tilesheet it should work

autumn tide
#

mhm! here's the code about it:

uncut viper
#

it just might get removed if its in the same exact spot from the removal code

autumn tide
#

I just have a billion and a half different layers

uncut viper
#

just put the chest one tile to the side

autumn tide
#

ik I can, but would that stop the game's chest thing from appearing?

uncut viper
#

also it doesnt even need to be the same chest just use the OpenShop action

#

no

autumn tide
#

I prolly phrased it wrong, I just want someone to delete that chunk of code so I can use OpenShop and not have to worry about overlap with the original

uncut viper
#

then you dont need C# to add the shop yourself when not roommates

#

nothing is stopping you from using OpenShop

autumn tide
#

Could you clarify? I'm confused

#

I understand that I could use OpenShop

uncut viper
#

you said you wanted to add the shop chest when krobus is not roommated, bc by default it only appears when roommated

autumn tide
#

mhm

uncut viper
#

you can just put an OpenShop action one tile to the side

#

of where it normally is

autumn tide
#

could I just add a conditional map patch when not roommated that has chest and tile action on that same tile (but different layer)?

uncut viper
#

no, it cannot be on a different layer

autumn tide
#

Oh? Like if i put the chest on buildings 3 or something would the tile still be okay on buildings3?

uncut viper
#

i just said it cannot be on a different layer

#

it must be on Buildings

#

not Buildings3

autumn tide
#

...okay

uncut viper
#

the picture of the chest can be on Buildings3, sure, but the tile action cannot

autumn tide
#

Little lost tbh-

uncut viper
#

itd be a broken chest that didnt do anything

hallow prism
#

did you have a break recently?

#

maybe drink some water or walk just a bit

autumn tide
#

OH okay, so tile actions only like base layers?

hallow prism
#

it's what i do when i'm overwhelmed

uncut viper
#

i am telling you that the way you do this without waiting for a C# component that may or may not arrive is to put the chest somewhere, literally anywhere else

autumn tide
uncut viper
#

you can remove it if krobus is in fact roommated so you dont have two chests

autumn tide
#

okay! like add that conditional map patch with the tile being different

uncut viper
#

you would have only one patch that conditionally adds a tile somewhere that is not x31, y17

#

when krobus is not roommated

#

(or x31, y16)

autumn tide
#

perfect! i think I got that then!

uncut viper
#

if you do not touch those two coordinates then it is literally no different from any other map patch or map functionality re: layers or tile actions or whatever

autumn tide
#

also, is there any hardcoding around being able to interact with krobus to open the shop? if possible i'd like to remove that but idc about it too much lol

uncut viper
#

if you click on Krobus when he is in the sewers and you're not gifting him an item or anything, it'll open the shop

autumn tide
#

mhm

uncut viper
#

as in, that is guaranteed behaviour

autumn tide
#

so that is hardcoded then?

#

gotchaaa okay okay

brave fable
#

it'd've'been nice if there was a vanilla dialogue/trigger action for opening the shop to save me a whole 5 minutes of work

uncut viper
#

use BETAS

lucid iron
#

make the npc say "use the sign next to me"

brave fable
#

does BETAS have an action that just closes a dialogue box and does absolutely nothing else SDVpufferpensive

uncut viper
#

i thought you wanted it to open a shop not close a menu

brave fable
#

i have many mysterious and important use cases

uncut viper
#

if Game1.drawObjectDialogue works with an empty string to open and immediately close itself then you could do that i guess

brave fable
#

if it did then i wouldn't need the action 🙂‍↕️

uncut viper
#

you would because that one isnt available via vanilla tractions 😌

brave fable
#

i tried all sorts and nothing worked hahah

lucid iron
#

well if u just add action that do Game1.exitActiveMenu that'd work right

brave fable
#

load-bearing unknown and unexpected mod action behaviour

uncut viper
#

you could set players health to 0. when they die it closes the menu i think

brave fable
#

this may have side effects

uncut viper
#

nonsense

lucid iron
#

im not sure if we r doing a content mod only or if custom C# is ok

urban patrol
#

side effect: get to see harvey :)

uncut viper
#

i assume blueberry feels comfortable writing C#

brave fable
#

well the idea was content only and writing my own action to close the menu in c# was the compromise

lucid iron
#

but blueberry has many mysterious and important use cases

brave fable
#

this was the rice cracker shop from || || months ago

lucid iron
#

ah i never recovered from the psychic damage

brave fable
#

you know, the one with the readable dialogue string

#

that also included a detour into boxing and unboxing a networked private struct to edit damage values

kindred lance
#

👋

autumn tide
#

..oh no will this be another thin crust pizza-

cyan marsh
#

did something change with Game1.player.isSitting ?

#

i was fixing one of my mods and it's shooting this error: Operator '!' cannot be applied to operand of type 'NetBool'

brave fable
#

you'll likely want to use IsSitting() instead

cyan marsh
#

ahh

#

so basically, yes

brave fable
#

but the issue is really that isSitting is a NetField, and for those you generally need to reference its Value field to get the actual value, e.g. !player.isSitting.Value

#

(some asterisks around certain netcollections)

cyan marsh
#

just need to check if the farmer is sitting or not

brave fable
#

sure, just mentioning for future reference, since netfields are pretty ubiquitous in the game

cyan marsh
#

i see... it helped with the other 120 errors x3

#

hmm what is the name property warning AvoidNetField: 'Game1.player.name' is a NetString field; consider using the Name property instead.

Hey, so I've been directed here by a lot of google searching, I was hoping maybe someone has a write up they could direct me too about creating cooking recipes? I've had plenty of success doing ones using vanilla and modded items, but I'm struggling to understand the "use any" functions like "use any egg/flour/fruit" which I was hoping to add into these custom recipes so they're more flexible with my mega modded play through.

Any help would be super lovely, pretty beginner at mod making and really only making personal use ones.

cyan marsh
#

not a horrid thing.. but my code is old and i need to figure the new things

calm nebula
iron ridge
brave fable
#

note the capitalisation SDVdemetriums name vs. Name, where generally the lowercase is a netsynced backing field, and the titlecase is a property that shorthands the value call for you, e.g. public string Name { get => name.Value; set => name.Value = value; }

calm nebula
#

Sorry

#

Flexible Cooking

cyan marsh
#

so simple.. e.e here i was concerned it was more complex

brave fable
#

it really is as simple as consider using the Name property instead hahah

iron lynx
# calm nebula Have you seen the flexible recipes mod by 6480

I've seen it mentioned in other mods but I'll take a look at its files to see what I can learn from it.

Since this is definitely not my normal modding (I cut my teeth on making Oblivion, Skyrim and Fallout mods) I've been sort of mimicking a very simple "adds 10 cooking items related to the hidden crops" mod since I thought that would be ideal.

cyan marsh
#

do we have anything on creating buffs

#

Like XP buffs, for instance

brave fable
#

adding simple attribute buffs or dummy buffs with strings and icons is simple enough with content:
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Buffs
adding unique behaviours such as XP bonuses on certain actions will require you to add harmony patches (or events, if available) to handle your use case though, of course

#

example from LOC here ⤴️

cyan marsh
# 
    class BonusExperience
    {
        private static readonly PerScreen<int[]> RecentEXP = new PerScreen<int[]>();
        public static void UpdateExperience()
        {
            if (Game1.player.experiencePoints.SequenceEqual(RecentEXP.Value)) return;
            if (Game1.player.experiencePoints.Length != RecentEXP.Value.Length)
            {
                RecentEXP.Value = Game1.player.experiencePoints.ToArray();
                return;
            }
            for (var skillIndex = 0; skillIndex < Game1.player.experiencePoints.Length; skillIndex++)
            {
                var EXPgive = RecentEXP.Value[skillIndex];
                var currentXP = Game1.player.experiencePoints[skillIndex];
                var gainedXP = currentXP - EXPgive;
                var BonusXP = (gainedXP * 2);
                Game1.player.gainExperience(skillIndex, BonusXP);
                SitnRelax.ModEntry.logger.Log($"Add {gainedXP}XP!", LogLevel.Debug);
                Game1.addHUDMessage(new HUDMessage("You're working Hard!", 4));
            }
            RecentEXP.Value = Game1.player.experiencePoints.ToArray();
        }
    }
``` I made this a while back but I don't use it.. i guess I never got it to work
brave fable
#

see i'd sooner add a harmony prefix on Farmer.gainExperience() to increase the amount given rather than monitoring changes on the list of recent experience gains

cyan marsh
#

yeah.. I probably don't use it because it causes the game to freeze xD

brave fable
#

the issue's probably that you're comparing RecentEXP before the Value has been initialised, but also i'd just replace the solution anyway hahah

cyan marsh
#

indeed

#

well it was a passing thought.. the mod's scope is met with the updates

#

hmm.. my reststates aren't working...

iron lynx
#

@calm nebula A really helpful mod, and one I'm going to add to the list but it actually doesn't quite fit what I needed

#

If I'm creating a cooking recipe, I'd be looking for how context tags get used to call out ingredient groups rather than a specific one. Examples like "any flour". The mod is helpful because I have almost all of those listed as compatible natively, but making my own I'd have to add the tags in, which is what I'm trying to learn

lucid iron
#

!unpack

ocean sailBOT
#

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

To use this command, type !unpack.
lucid iron
#

did you do this yet

iron lynx
#

No, sorry I'm super new to this so I'm not sure what that would do that looking at the content and data .json files isn't.

autumn tide
lucid iron
#

unpacking the vanilla content allows you to see how vanilla recipes are defined

#

then, you can go look at say fish taco's recipe

autumn tide
#

oh yeah cause it would allow all fish!

brave fable
#

that being said, vanilla recipes can't use context tags for cooking recipes, which is a feature added by SpaceCore . vanilla recipes can only use object categories, given as negative numbers, like -4 for any fish

#

honestly Flexible Cooking is probably the most comprehensive example of context tag cooking recipes

iron lynx
#

Okay, yeah that's definitely a good direction. I have other mods that utilize the "any" for a few recipe types but the layout of their data files is significantly different than the simple one I was using to sort of have a baseline.

lucid iron
#

yep there are mods that let you do more things to recipes too

brave fable
#

the catch being that object categories are pretty non-specific and very few of them are actually supported in cooking recipes, whereas SpaceCore has you define your own display text and icon for whatever arbitrary ingredients you list

lucid iron
#

so seeing the vanilla data helps you know what is and is not base game

#

if you have a particular recipe you want to add/modify ppl can help you with that

cyan marsh
#

there it goes... sleepy farmer

image.png
brave fable
#

narcolepsy mod that has you pass out whenever you sit in a chair for 10 clock minutes

iron lynx

Categories alone might be enough for my specific use case. I assume the -14 meat would hook the animal husbandry mod as it is, and -79 for fruit would cover the other need. I don't mind needing wheat flour and chicken eggs in this instance.

Thank you, this is a huge change from what I'm used to with modding so lots to learn but its been fun!

but for now.. the longer you sit the faster the regeneration

if (Game1.player.health < sittingHP.Value)

    double damageTaken = sittingHP.Value - Game1.player.health;
    double addDamage = damageTaken * .50;
    Game1.player.takeDamage((int)addDamage, false, null);
    Game1.addHUDMessage(new HUDMessage("Hey!! What are you doing?! Don't let your guard down!!", 3));
    Game1.player.isStopSitting = true;
    Game1.player.currentTemporaryInvincibilityDuration = 0;

Buttons did mostly beat me to it, but in my modlist it was just a single harmony patch in BETAS and I think a single patch in machine terrain framework.

haven't done mod-dump level scans but its a relatively rare usecase and since SMAPI uses a forked vesion of harmony anyway, one option is to just partially rollback the validation changes or have it run in a temporary compatibility mode.

The only other issue I've seen depending on which compiled version of harmony I used I did have very weird behaviour where harmony patches on generic methods made the method always have that generic argument regardless of what it got called with, which caused problems with my Profiler content pack breaking the content pipeline by making all Game1.content.Load<> to be Texture2D and causing explosions everywhere.

and I don't fully know what I did that fixed it either, but after fixing some bugs in my version of the fork to get the patch naming working again it suddenly stopped having the generic bug.

Can anyone please enlighten me on why the CP relationship token sometimes has a little tantrum? It has just done this on a save load, but didn't do it on previous loads or on making a new save.

urban patrol
#

that's true i forgot about that lol

vernal crest
#

Hmm, actually, it didn't list any of Mads' characters in the expected field. I wonder if that patch is running before their data/characters edit so the NPCs don't actually exist at the time.

hard fern
#

🤔 it might?

vernal crest
#

Hmmm I think it's related to the fact that there's a token in the fromfile for the NPC data include and that token must not be ready at the time this check is done, so the Include doesn't run and therefore the NPCs don't exist.

#

All righty I think I have answered my own question! Thank you nic and Forsy for the rubber ducking xD SMCbadge_rubberduck

Is there a way for me to place some junimos in a specific location during an event? And a way to spawn some butterflies in the same spot, and then have them fly around randomly from there?

urban patrol
#

for the butterflies you’ll have to use MMAP. you miiiiight be able to do the junimos with a TAS but i think MMAP can do them as well

noble ermine
#

Oh...um, what is MMAP and TAS?

hard fern
noble ermine
hard fern
pale river
brittle pasture
#

though TAS is a bit complex to set up

urban patrol
#

i guess you could try manually do the random flight pattern but like why

vernal crest
#

You'd need a lot of TASs to have them fly around randomly

urban patrol
#

with MMAP it’s just a trigger action

pale river
urban patrol
#

and the critter setup but it’s not too hard

#

i’d send an example but i’m in bed lol

brittle pasture
#

you can of course do manual sprites for the butterflies

urban patrol
#

sometimes TASs feel like recommending C#. yes you can technically do anything but you gotta know the secret sauce

noble ermine
#

I'm planning an event that junimos gather together and used some sort of magic, and boom many butterflies shows up

#

But right now I don't know how to get junimos or how to get butterfly.

urban patrol
noble ermine
#

Okay, I've read that, and...I still don't understand how will it brings me a junimo or a butterfly....

brittle pasture
#

TAS allows you to draw any sprite to the screen, with custom animations and movement paths

urban patrol
#

well like i said my recommendation is to use MMAP, but i have to go to bed. others can explain in more detail if you need though! good luck

brittle pasture
#

and yeah it's also exceedingly complicated and you might just want to investigate the framework mod MMAP and read its documentation

noble ermine
#

Oh...anyway thanks, I'll go and check

vernal crest
#

I don't think TAS is that complicated, tbh. It just takes very careful reading of the wiki and using an example.

noble ermine
#

Can I use addTemporaryActorfor junimos?

vernal crest
#

What spritesheet are junimos on?

pale river
#

When you say modpack, do you mean content patcher mod?

pale river
vernal crest
#

Is it for muttering farmer?

pale river
#

actually no, it's for the stardew squad. I'm planning on doing a muttering farmer one later, because one of the npcs only says poyo

#

the muttering farmer makes npcs talk, so the character that only says poyo, ends up not doing that

#

it works now, it was just an issue of case sensitivity 😔

vernal crest
#

Ok it is a content patcher mod then

pale river
#

why do some modpacks have dll files?

hard fern
#

molds that have dll files are C# or have C# components

pale river
#

wish I could edit them, but visual code studio doesn't seem to like the file type

hard fern
vernal crest
#

You would need to know how to write C# to edit them

#

If they're source available you can find the source and download that to compile instead of decompiling theirs

pale river
#

there's a mod that makes npcs have speech bubbles above them when I walk near them. I can't figure out what mod is doing this, and I want it to stop / edit it

#

I'm pretty sure it's not muttering farmer, but I can't check the dll file in it

vernal crest
#

Can you read C#? Because if not, decompiling wouldn't help anyway. And if you can, you can decompile it.

#

I think it'd just be easier to put your log into the log parser and then check all the C# mods on Nexus though

pale river
vernal crest
ocean sailBOT

I'm pretty sure it's not muttering farmer and I have no idea what mod it could be

vernal crest

What has that got to do with it?

DId you confirm it was definitely that Say Hi mod?

pale river

If you can remember any of the lines that you saw an NPC say in the speech bubble you could do a find in files search across your whole Mods folder to find which mod it's from

vernal crest
#

Yeah, using Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code or Sublime Text

pale river

do I just open the mods folder on VSC? I'll try after I take a break

Yup, I right-click my Mods folder and choose "Open in VSCodium" and then go to the search tab on the left and it'll search through all the files in the folder (and subfolders)

Hi @ivory plume! Sorry about the ping. ~~I have a minor suggestion/feature request for the Automate mod.

I hope players have a toggle to allow/disallow moss to be taken from the trees. This is allowed by default, but mushroom logs produce better quality mushrooms if there are more moss on trees present. ~~

One question: how do we conduct NPC dialogue?

gray bear
shut edge
#

"Entries": {
"(O)330 Quality 0": {
"IgnoreAnimalQuality": true,
},

#

sadly this didn't work

#

didn't make any errors tho either

hallow prism
#

where does this come from?

shut edge
#

my dogs mod

#

was trying to make their EAC animal produce be non-quality

hallow prism
#

the format, i assume you didn't invent it

shut edge
#

AnimalProduceExtensionData from EAC

hallow prism
#

ok

shut edge
hallow prism
#

what happen if you patch export that to check it's properly applied and in right format?

shut edge
#

ah i just closed the game

#

but it was working as a produce drop fine

#

ItemQuery GenericSpawnItemData The override item query to use to actually generate this produce. Most item query fields will work, aside from quality (which is determined by friendship, unless specified) and stack size (which will always be 1, or 2 for animals that were fed Golden Crackers).

#

this is what confuses me

#

says "aside from quality" but also says you can specify it?

hallow prism
#

my understanding is that it's not set in the same field

shut edge
#

IgnoreAnimalQuality bool If set to true, ignore the quality from animal friendship and just use the quality from the item query.

#

this also seems like it's saying to set a quality in the query tho

#

so i dunno

maybe i'll try this again after i've slept properly

hallow prism

yeah

vernal crest
#

Are you inside the AnimalProduceExtensionData field?

hallow prism
#

sleep is a good way to reset things

#

and when you'll try again, provide your full json and log and maybe the patch export

#

because right now i feel its a bit of a puzzle 😄

shut edge
#

yeah same lol

vernal crest
#

Why have you written the quality field inside the item id?

shut edge
#

wasn't sure where else it was meant to go

#

since that line is allegedly an item query

vernal crest
#

Yes but it's meant to be for the item and there's no item called "(O)330 Quality 0"

#

You can see from the pig example that it's meant to just be the item id

shut edge
#

admittedly i do not know what i am doing

#

i'll check some other mods i suppose

vernal crest
#

I found EAC really difficult to navigate as well lol

shut edge
#

it's a bit tricky for sure

#

cool when you wrangle it tho

vernal crest
#

Selph's docs are good, but they're coming at them from the perspective of already knowing how it all fits together

#

It took me quite a bit of trial and error and staring very hard at the docs before I could get my EAC stuff working

shut edge
#

yeah

#

i imagine they make perfect sense if you actually understand all the relevant terms lol

vernal crest
#

But I think the examples are helpful

shut edge
#

they are, i just wish there were more / one for each feature

vernal crest
#

Because, for instance, you can see with the last example it's got HarvestTool. HarvestTool is at the same level as IgnoreAnimalQuality, so you could copy that example exactly as-is and just replace the HarvestTool field with IgnoreAnimalQuality.

#

And then you'd have the right syntax

hallow prism
#

selph may be happy to have some links to put to mods that can serve as examples?

shut edge
#

i'll poke around on nexus

shut edge
#

item and animal quality are different things here....i think

vernal crest
shut edge
#

right, that was just somethign i was trying. the other ones don't have that, and still make quality'd items

it seems like there is somewhere i COULD tell it quality = 0 but i can't figure out where

        "(O)62": {
        "IgnoreAnimalQuality": true,
        }
      },```
#

this is what the others look like. they're still popping out with stars

#

maybe i'm missing a comma

vernal crest
#

I don't see you actually setting the quality anywhere though

#

You also need the item query field and the Quality field inside that

#

I shall edit my example

#

Example edited

shut edge
#

hmmm, thank you

#

i'll take a look

vernal crest
#

You were using IgnoreAnimalQuality to tell it to only use the quality from the item query, but you had no item query.

Hi everyone!
I’m trying to use random dialogues inside a schedule, but it doesn’t seem to be working. For example:

"sitting_saloon": "{{Random: Have you tried the {{Random: beer, salad, bread, spaghetti, pizza, coffee}} from Gus? It’s amazing, you should try it!$1 @@ My wife and I usually come here to relive the old days!$1 @@ This is always a great place, we love the music and the company.$1 |inputSeparator=@@}}"

Shouldn’t this work? What’s the correct way to do it?

hallow prism
#

what isn't working at the moment? it doesn't trigger? it gives strange characters? else?

#

can you provide the json, are you loading the schedule dialogue or editing it?

tepid prawn
tepid prawn
hallow prism
#

i can't tell you how this dialogue is supposed to work, it's been a bit of time since i did random dialogues (and i don't really do it this way, althought it should work on paper)

#

but it's why we need log/json and all to check things 🙂

#

!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.

@uncut oriole Say do you know how to decompile the phone version of game

uncut oriole
#

Yes.

lucid iron
#

I made some attempts on the apk but fear I was missing something kyuuchan_run

#

Are there instructions on that

uncut oriole
#

If you have the mobile SMAPI installed it has the dll in the root folder for mobile. You can use a decompiler after you've extracted.

lucid iron
#

Ok time to buy game on the phone then

#

I may have been avoiding this to have reasonable excuse to not fix phone mod problems...

uncut oriole
#

You should buy the game on your phone regardless if you're modding or not. 🙂

lucid iron
#

Yeah but I play on PC

#

Pathoschild has a private decompile repo for the PC version (windows specifically)

#

There's also one for the android version but it hasn't been updated since 1.5.6

uncut oriole
#

I know. Mobile controls isn't as good as PC and mod support is almost non-existent. This is why I'm focused on making the mobile version better.

lucid iron
#

It'd be good to have newest version there so that people can do support for phone easier

#

Right now I'm basically just guessing what to do based on logs lol

#

And I gotta remember that phone users dont have right click or middle click Dokkan

uncut oriole
#

That sounds awful without adb. Especially when method signatures are different on both platforms. It's not helpful that SMAPI just says a mod isn't compatible without more details. That's also something I would like to fix on the mobile side of SMAPI

lucid iron
#

Oh it does actually give some more details in Trace

#

When trinket tinker stopped working on phone back in 1.5.0 I eventually got logs that told me what methods were missing

uncut oriole
#

Yeah but it could more more verbose. I'm actually not too familiar with how PC does it since I've been targeting to mobile first and then filling in the gaps for PC

lucid iron
#

I think these are all covered by rewriters now

#

When smapi has error that says not compatible there's usually a matching "broken code in blah blah" in trace

uncut oriole
#

The mobile version of SMAPI rewrites a bunch of methods but unfortunately doesn't cover all of them. 😕 I have to do the same thing for the mods I wrote that support both platforms. At least until I can help update mobile SMAPI.

lucid iron
#

Yeah it's the same from other direction blobcatgooglyblep

Sometimes the transpiler just doesn't work™

I don't recall off hand what it would be sorry

lucid iron

So a patch on a getter works fine for linux and windows

But never happen on mac

#

That's interesting. I have the game on all platforms but have not targeted Linux or Mac directly. Now I'm curious if my mods will work.

vivid rapids
lucid iron

I think linux is pretty similar to android runtime wise

#

Though android has extra layer of java right? Idk how that works

calm nebula

What i think is going on is that you're trying to click when the safety timer is still active

Try dialogueBox.safetyTimer =0

Would it be possible to just skip clicking

ok! i was away, so i don't know if you got an answer, but tokens don't work in loaded files, they work in edited files however. The usual approach is to load a blank file then edit it to add what you need (for stuff that doesn't already exist in vanilla)

that's the correct thing to do unless you have reason not to

some old mods (mainly ones ported to 1.6 with minimal changes to make then run) still think the internal name is the unique identifier so there is also existing expectation that they're unique

I've deliberately mismatched internal names in two cases:

  • to make an item benefit from the Rancher profession (I added Cloth to the internal name; this is probably not criminal)
  • to make a modded BC work as a barn/coop heater (the game only checks that the internal name is Heater; this is definitely criminal and will blow up in my face some undetermined time in the future)

per the first bullet point: why can't it still match the id...

urban patrol
split linden
urban patrol
#

let me make sure i understand: your map is correct with the game closed. you save the map. you launch the game and changes are made in tiled without your consent. you go back to tiled with the game still running, correct the map, save it, and then it works? do you patch reload it?

split linden
#

yep to everything, but i dont have to patch reload it

urban patrol
#

that shouldn’t be possible lol

#

i’m not doubting you just completely stumped

split linden
#

would it be something to do with content patcher changing the file?

urban patrol
#

not likely. any edits content patcher makes happen to things in the asset pipeline after being loaded, not to your files

#

you don’t have a C# component do you?

lucid iron
split linden
#

no just a custom location

#

i have the base modentry.cs

lucid iron
#

Then content patcher shouldn't be editing your map file

split linden
#

is there anyway i could check what last edited the tmx file?

calm nebula
#

How are you adding the location

split linden
#

content.json custom locations

urban patrol
#

what happens if you patch export it before and after changing it in tiled with the game open

split linden
#

whats patch export?

urban patrol
#

it’s a command you type into the SMAPI console. patch export Maps/YourMapName and then navigate to the folder it tells you

split linden
#

would my map need to be in the game maps folder? currently its in an asset folder with the rest of the mod

urban patrol
#

nope, you can structure your files however you like. Maps/Name is the target they need to be loaded to, but it’s not actually a filepath

#

targets mimic vanilla file structure but are actually abstract

the fact that they are walking is based on schedule

i understand language is a barrier, but we can only repeat the same advices

I think this is the point where you post your code so we can look

Ok so if I name the main folder "Operation Sweet Talk", and then name the CP folder "Sweet Talk Core" and the C# folder "Sweet Talk Code" would that work?

gentle rose
#

you can name your folders whatever you want

#

but it would be confusing for your users most likely

opaque field
#

I mean in the sense of Smapi not telling me that I have duplicate copies of the same mod

gentle rose
#

since neither Core nor Code inherently mean C# vs content patcher

#

that has nothing to do with folder names, that's your manifest id

opaque field
#

oh okay - hm interesting. TY

uncut viper
#

i dont think its likely to confuse anyone

#

i think theres a very good chance that they literally wont care or probably even notice

#

because they will just drag and drop Operation Sweet Talk into their mods folder

#

and be done iwth it

#

and a user has no reason to care which part is CP and which is C# and which is FTM or FF or CC or whatever, so that doesnt matter

gentle rose
#

it will confuse me SDVpuffersquee

uncut viper
#

when you're in the "end user" position you also have no reason to care

gentle rose
#

I still think the best thing to do is clear names because inevitably someone is going to have to look at your folders

uncut viper
#

its not really inevitable, and its not any work to just open one of them, and also "Core" is a common thing to name a C# component to differentiate it from CP anyway

gentle rose
#

their c# component is 'Code'

uncut viper
#

tbf, if i was actively looking inside "Operation Sweet Talk" and saw Core vs Code, id go to Code first anyway

#

either way, i still dont think Crackling Charcoal should care that much what they name their folders

#

and i think "how would an end user feel about these folder names?" is close to last on the list of priorities

gentle rose
#

(my preference for name personally would be Content vs Framework/Code/Core, but yeah it was just a fairly insignificant suggestion haha)

i think some folder clarity is great in general, but it doesn't need to be perfect

caring too much about folder naming is putting the cart before the horse

#

finish the mod first, then figure out the names if you still care

Quick silly question and im more just needing a nudge in the right direction more than anything. I have my NPCs bedroom door. When I am low hearts with the NPC, I get the message that I cant enter their room. But when Im at high hearts I cant interact anymore. Ive read the wiki, and Ive copied the setup of like Sam or Alex's rooms exactly and nada. Bottom of the door on the buildings Tile layer. TileData Action Door Jett on the buildings Object layer. It worked before its just....not now. Ive relaunched the game about a half dozen times. Im stumped

How would I use a dynamic token to change a map edit?

This is for SDV compatibility

Why are you using a dynamic token? What part are you using it for?
