Or i suppose, I'm not sure why you have this

#

Currently greenhouse is a building so if you want to change how it looks you need to edit building data

#

If you think you have to handle the greenhouse being moved around, then no you don't

calm nebula
#

On maps that are replacers, not new maps

lucid iron
#

So would u need it for custom farm Bolb

calm nebula
#

If you make a replacer, yes

#

If you make a new farm, no

lucid iron
#

Haunted

#

The target is probably Maps/Farm_Greenhouse_Dirt then

#

You can confirm this by looking at the Content folder

calm nebula
#

There is a special one for the four corners map!

#

But seriously, make a nonreplacer unless you really love android

gray bear
#

inchresting

lucid iron
#

Why would android be a problem

#

Like im assuming meadowlands work properly there

summer spoke
#

since the event I want to write out needs to happen after a certain event, do I need to write my own event id or should I use the in game event?

calm nebula
#

Android does not support nonreplacing farms iirc

gray bear
#

i don't understand the question

summer spoke
#

mine?

gray bear
#

yeah. if you write the same id as the event you want yours to be after you're just going to override it

summer spoke
#

Right, thank you

gray bear
#

there's a condition for a player seeing an event beforehand

summer spoke
#

Would you please tell me what it is?

gray bear
#

PLAYER_HAS_SEEN_EVENT <player> <id>

summer spoke
#

thank you

gray bear
urban patrol
#

if you want it to be an event precondition though it’s different

gray bear
#

i keep forgetting how different events are

tiny zealot
#

you can use any game state query as an event precondition (there's a precondition that checks a GSQ)

urban patrol
#

yeah you need to put GameStateQuery before it if you do that

gray bear
#

yeah there's isn't a specific one for seeing an event before

summer spoke
#

okay. thank you

tiny zealot
#

there should be one for seeing a previous event

urban patrol
gray bear
#

so GameStateQuery PLAYER_HAS_SEEN_EVENT <player> <id>?

#

yeah ignore me see that ^

tiny zealot
#

either one will work! the non-GSQ one will probably be imperceptibly more performant

#

so just do whichever one makes sense to you and is likely to be easier to understand/maintain down the line

summer spoke
#

That makes sense, thank you

Hi guys, I hope you’re doing well and that you’re giving all your heart and your mental health while creating all those little animated pixels.

After creating maps and understanding how everything works thanks to you, I’d like to learn how to develop NPCs. Is this the only reference page? https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:NPC_data

(I still struggle with the GitHub interface, so I’m not sure if there’s a dedicated page.)

this might be a dumb question, but I need to make a dialogue tree for an NPC and it's telling me to start with an Introduction, which is obvious even to me. However, I want to meet the NPC in an event. Does that mean the introduction is in the first event, or is it outside of an event?

Creating a Custom NPC

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

To use this command, type !npc.

right

tiny zealot

1.6.16 (i think) will introduce another way to have a first dialogue line, which works largely the same way but isn't a conversation topic key limited to the first six days (krobus is currently hardcoded to act this way, and the new key will enable it for other NPCs). but that's in the future

west geyser
#

I edited a map all by myself, but uh, anyone got a link to somewhere that shows what the different path tiles mean?

hallow prism
west geyser
#

Thanks. I was having a heck of a time finding the info.

hallow prism
#

sure, wiki is full of info but sadly you need to know where they are to find them most of the time 😄

west geyser
#

Yee. Also, can I have my own trees be spawned via the tree path tiles already available/ have them only spawn specific trees based on what map they are on? Or would I have to make my own tiles for that? And how would one potentally go about that?

brittle ledge
# summer spoke this might be a dumb question, but I need to make a dialogue tree for an NPC and...

What are you seeing that's instructing you to do a dialogue tree? SDVpufferthinkblob

It's plenty possible to have the first appearance of your character in an event (i.e., they do not show up at all prior to the event), though it's a little complicated/annoying to do so. The easier way would be to just make it so the player is likely to see your event before they see the NPC (which is what I do for Jorts and Jean as an example).

summer spoke
brittle ledge
#

Ah, I think we're confused cause you called it a tree, we usually just refer to it as a dialogue file kyuuchan_nod2

Sorry lol

Hello, good afternoon, could someone please help me if possible? Months ago I downloaded a mod that has this lampshade, but my brother deleted my Stardew and I lost the mod's name (old imageland_cry ).

hey guys, I am trying to add a simple Quest that works like the Ship Repairing. I basically want to have one tile that I can interact with, where I can 'deposit' a specific Item, like f.E. 500 Wood and after it does that, it should basically just replace a part of a map. (It should just change a broken house with a repaired one). Do I have to use C# for that or is there a simpler method to do this?

#

I guess it is a bit like the small bridge on the beach

brittle pasture
#

you can use Unlockable Bundles

subtle condor
#

I guess that would work, yeah. It is a bit of a workaround, but I'll look into that, ty

pine elbow
#

Hey everyone! I’m working on a small mod expansion and need to make a minor adjustment to Stardew Valley’s town map so I can access a new area. I added a "bridge", but whenever I enter the town it doesn’t show up, even though I can still walk across the water. So the game seems to recognize the change, but the bridge itself isn’t being rendered. I’m not sure how to fix this

subtle condor
#

How did you add the bridge? Did you make a smaller separate map file of just the bridge, that you placed over the town map?

pine elbow
#

I used the entire town map, and in the code I only set it to change the map at the coordinates where the bridge is located. Could that be the issue?

subtle condor
#

I remember I had a similar problem when I tried to add a small wooden bridge in the mountain Map. I think if you fully try to load a separate file, you have to replace the map file in the data/locations folder as well. But honestly, it is way easier to just make a separate map and parse that over the existing map XD

urban patrol
#

yeah you should use EditMap if you weren’t already

#

!json can we see your code

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.
subtle condor
urban patrol
#

locations are actually a distinct concept from maps and very likely not the issue here

pine elbow
urban patrol
#

and how are you applying your changes in json

uncut viper

(CustomLocations also still works, it's just very not recommended)

you've closed out your changes block but put a patch after it. all patches need to be inside the the square brackets of Changes

urban patrol

good luck and let us know if you still can't get it to work

subtle condor
ornate locust
#

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what UNlockable Bundles is made for

#

west geyser
#

I'm workin on makin files so that I have each map stored with their tilesheets in a folder for each location so I don't have to go file hunting if I wanna change any of the maps.

urban patrol
#

!tilesheetinator you should download this

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.
west geyser
#

Oh, that actually probably will make it much easier.

hallow prism
#

i believe you can even make custom ones now

#

so you can do something like vanilla with a yellow "!"

brittle ledge
#

You'll need to 1. Load the sprite sheet for the temp actor like you would a regular NPC (portraits not required) and then 2. Add the temp actor at the beginning of your event.

west geyser
#

Uh, so my location thing broke. I didn't even change the code. All that changed was that green rain happened.

hallow prism
#

i'm not sure what a location thing is

west geyser
#

Custom location. Sorry for not clarifying. It is bein not great atm, and I am trying to figure out why. I'mma check tiled to see if I messed it up somewhere there, cuz from what I can tell it ain't the jsons.

urban patrol
#

tiled doesn't handle location data

locations =/= maps

did the map break?

did you load your map

#

MapPath refers to an asset that's been loaded, not a filepath in your mod folder

west geyser

Yee, I did load it in my content json.

urban patrol

your target of your load and the map path don't match

west geyser

Frick.

urban patrol
#

also please prefix your location with your mod id

west geyser

It's just a location I'mma scrap, usin it to learn the basics of location creation.

urban patrol
#

good habits start early!

autumn tide
west geyser
#

Ok, so the map path and the target of the load match and it still can't find my location.

urban patrol
#

did you test on a new save

uncut viper
#

patch reload won't work for creating new locations if that's what you tried

#

not on its own anyway

west geyser
#

Oh. I guess I gotta reload the whole game?

urban patrol
#

"create on load" means that the location is created when a save is loaded

#

so you can't just patch reload when in the game

autumn tide
#

exit to menu and reload the game might work though!

west geyser
#

Mk. Thanks. I have it fixed now. Sorry I didn't know that the patch reload doesn't work on locations.

urban patrol
#

glad it's working!

west geyser
#

I cleared some area and added the grave thing as a test. Anyways, now I've got that figured out I'mma go take a break and doodle up my map concepts and probably switch all my actual stuff in my content patch to the mod id token.

I gotta add the mod id token to every reference of a modded item, even in the content json, right?

thats what ive been wondering too

#

cuz i had it happen before but i had my whole tilesheets in there then, not blanks...

jovial dirge
urban patrol
#

by copy pasting, do you mean you're copying tiles from existing maps and then pasting them into other maps? yeah don't do that

latent mauve
#

I've seen that issue once (the blanks), and it had to do with someone not properly setting the size of the tilesheet (so the program thought it was 0 wide)

jovial dirge
ornate trellis
#

yeah dont do that

urban patrol
#

yeah that's definitely causing your duplicate tilesheet issue

jovial dirge
#

ty guys

ornate trellis
#

if you really want tilesheets from diff maps then save them as a tsx file so stuff like animations etc are kept

#

then you can open the tsx in your wip map and embed it

uncut viper
#

a mod cannot be both a .dll/C# mod and a content pack

autumn tide
#

do you have a manifest?

uncut viper
#

the format of your json is the content pack format for Content Patcher specifically, thats not a general SMAPI thing

#

so you must make a separate Content Patcher mod to use a content.json

urban patrol
autumn tide
#

aah okay

devout otter

Does your mod have a C# component, siva?

uncut viper
#

presumably that is what Sivarior.BeachApartments is

#

in the log

lucid mulch
#

The c# component did log messages

uncut viper
#

im guessing there is just a content.json inside the C# mods folder under the assumption that it would still be loaded and used automatically

pine elbow
calm nebula
#

Are you using the mod build config content pack packaging magic

brittle ledge
#

Yeah, you'll have to do what button says and split them. Expansions like Sunberry or Ridgeside are examples of mods with both a C# and CP portion if you want examples

calm nebula
#

<ContentPacks Include="your-content-pack-location" Version="$(Version)" />

#

It's an item group

pine elbow
brave fable
#

you don't need to be an expansion to have multiple components either, most of my mods add items with CP and behaviours with C#, like raised garden beds, love of cooking, etc

brittle ledge
#

If you do any other content packs (such as FTM or Custom Companions) that don't run through CP, they'll also have to be separate folders kyuuchan_nod2

urban patrol
#

that's true CP is crazy powerful and you may not even need C# depending

pine elbow
#

Yeah, but I was planning to add more NPCs, and I understood it was necessary to do that with C#.

brittle ledge
#

Nope! NPCs are generally CP only!

uncut viper
#

not at all

pine elbow
#

Okay, so I can do everything with CP?

brittle ledge
uncut viper
#

new game mechanics can not be done with CP only

urban patrol
#

from what you've said yes

uncut viper
#

but generally if its something you can see inside your unpacked folder and what you want only needs something in there to be edited to make your idea work, it can be done with CP only

#

(emphasis on generally)

autumn tide
#

there are some frameworks that you can utilize for non-vanilla game mechanics tho!

Guys, I've been trying to learn how to add new furniture for the game. Can anyone tell me how to draw a texture from a file? Is it not this? "TestPainting1": "'Cool Name'/painting/2 2/2 2/1/0/-1/Cool Name/0/Mods\[CP] Test\assets\pic/true"

#

like the "/Mods[CP] Test\assets\pic"

brittle ledge
pine elbow
#

Guess I freaked out for no reason, hehe. Big thanks to everyone for the help!

autumn tide
uncut viper
#

no, the texture needs to be an asset name, not a file path

#

and its slashes cant be in the same direction

urban patrol
#

in a slash-delimited string you'll need to escape the slashes

uncut viper
#

(unless the asset name has no slashes)

#

you must Load the texture to some target and then put the target in there

autumn tide
#

ahh

uncut viper
#

escaping the slashes doesnt matter either, they must be the other direction

autumn tide

oh backslashes!

tawdry light

urban patrol
#

as button said you need to load the texture in a separate patch

tawdry light
ornate trellis
#

id suggest showing us the full json but yeah did you load the texture itself?

jovial dirge
tawdry light
#

So then I just load the texture and instead of putting the address it would just be the name of the asset? like .../Cool Name/0/pic.png/true

gentle rose
#

there’s an issue in my comments? SDVpufferthinkblob

urban patrol
#

in a load, the fromfile is the path in your mod folder, but the target (whatever you make it) would be what you use for the furniture

gentle rose
#

I don’t have any new comments and none of the current ones are caused by this, but yes, you need to have an up to date version of tiled for the extension to work.

brave fable
# tawdry light So then I just load the texture and instead of putting the address it would just...

maybe an example would help:

{
  "Changes": [
    {
      // load the sprite asset from png file to game content
      "Action": "Load",
      "Target": "Mods/{{ModId}}/MySpriteAsset",
      "FromFile": "assets/pic.png"
    },
    {
      // add furniture entry with unique id using our sprite asset as a texture
      "Action": "EditData",
      "Target": "Data/Furniture",
      "Entries": {
        "{{ModId}}_MyNiceFurniture":  "'Cool Name'/painting/2 2/2 2/1/0/-1/Cool Name/0/Mods\\{{ModId}}\\MySpriteAsset/true"
      }
    }
  ]
}

note that with our sprite load change, we're using the asset name in the Target value as the texture field for our furniture, not the relative filepath in the FromFile value

I'm trying to revive my mod and the coding is so wonky. For example, I was making up random IDs when I should be using this {{ModId}} thing

brave fable

if you're using Notepad++, Sublime Text, or Visual Studio Code you can just press ctrl+shift+F to do a find-and-replace on your ID to replace it with {{ModId}}

autumn tide
brave fable

though it's worth noting that CP can't parse tokens embedded in TMX files or JSON files added to game content with Load, so those wouldn't be parsed into your actual mod id

tawdry light

you could restart if you like, since as they say you learn far quicker doing something 100 times rather than doing the same thing until it's perfect. but on the other hand it's good to get something reasonably finished before doing it again

Thanks a lot blueberry

The item has finally been added and now I know how to add more if I need to

urban patrol
brave fable
# west geyser Do I add the ModId token to my textures as well?

all asset names should be globally unique, generally meaning any Action Load Target for assets not already existing in the base game. just don't outsmart yourself by doing something like Target: Mods/{{ModId}}/Characters/{{ModId}}_Simon for an NPC spritesheet when the game is automatically trying to load something like Target: Characters/{{ModId}}_Simon hahah

#

other places may also expect globally unique names, such as item IDs, npc internal names, item query IDs, and so on

calm nebula
#

Just append a guid to all your textures (dont do this)

west geyser
#

Wait, so it wouldn't work if I went 'assets/Characters/{{ModId}}_Whatever npc'? Or is it just better practice to put the 'Mods/{{ModId}}/ect'?

brave fable
#

i mention Characters/{{ModId}}_Simon because the game automatically tries to load the npc spritesheet from Characters/<npc name here> when constructing npcs, which wouldn't start with a unique modid token even though that spritesheet asset didn't exist in the base game

west geyser
#

But what about the ModId thing in the earlier fields(?)?

urban patrol
#

there are hardcoded things the games sometimes tries to pull from. another example is maps; maps HAVE to be loaded into Maps/YourMapName, because that's where the game looks. if you tried to load your map into Mods/{{ModId}}/{{ModId}}_MyCoolMap you would run into an error because the game would go "but that's not maps"

#

what blueberry is talking about, NPCs, is another example. NPCs MUST have their portraits and sprites loaded to a specific target

@brave fable Even tho the mod is working now can I ask one more thing about the example u gave just so I know in the future? In "Target": "Mods/{{ModId}}/MySpriteAsset", I can replace the "MySpriteAsset" with anything right? but lets say I need to load a different png as well, can both targets be the same or do I need to create a target for each Png as so they don't overwrite each other?

brave fable
# tawdry light <@169338783307792385> Even tho the mod is working now can I ask one more thing a...

all unique assets must have globally unique names, so two separate spritesheets must have different asset names used as Target values whenever referenced. fortunately asset names are completely arbitrary unless the game or a mod expects them to be in a certain format, such as with NPC spritesheets mentioned above, so you can write anything you want there so long as it's meaningful (to you or whoever is reading) and globally unique (such as with your {{ModId}} token)

west geyser
#

I mean, I've gotten into the habit of putting AU, just an abbriviation for the town I wanna make. Their display name is Dakota, which is a funny coincidence that happened while I was making my conlang, cuz in the alien culture they belong to their parents name them for what life the parents want for the child, like Akimil(Sacred Walk) or Kikita(Love life) or Dakota(Happy life).

urban patrol
#

cool! yeah you can make it whatever you want, i just wanted to make sure you knew you didn't have to for purposes of making it unique, since your Mod ID handles that

tawdry light
west geyser
#

Fair. Also, sorry if sharing too much. So, just double checking, I shouldn't put ModId token in the FromFile? or is that something I should do/best practice?

brave fable
#

FromFile is a filepath relative to your [CP] mod folder; it doesn't need to be globally unique since it's looking for an (already unique) file in your folder

urban patrol
#

Hi! I've got a question about events. Is there currently any way to imitate the egg hunt but for custom events?
One of my mods has code for this, but it broke with 1.6 and I can't seem to find the cause. Thought it'd be worth it to ask if anyone has done it too (or if anyone knows why a player might freeze in place despite calling @event.setUpPlayerControlSequence(ownId);)

Any help would be appreciated SDVpufferheart

autumn tide
#

Oh, like grabbing stuff like haley's heart event?

vale stream
#

Yeah, like that!

#

I can show the code if needed

autumn tide
#

There is a command for it but I believe it needs C# to actually work

vale stream
#

Is it playerControl by chance?

calm nebula

player control sequences require a C# component to function

Is there a limit to exactly how many maps someone can add with a content patch? Also, is there a size limit to maps? Just asking for planning reference.

120x120 is the reccomended max i think!

there's a technical limit of about 150x150 before things visually start glitching, but the entire Town map is 110x110 as a size reference for a practical limit

Hey! for some reason when I give my custom npc a bouquet, her portraits are all messed up (showing mad face instead of happy) can I put something in dialogue to change the dialogue so I can set the portraits correctly? I don't think I made the spritesheet for the portraits incorrectly but I'll check to make sure

ivory plume
hexed snow
#

I made these a long while back in 1.5 so if 1.6 changed any of that it's definitely messed up lol. The other possibility is that it was just messed up from the start and I never noticed or forgot to fix itSDVpufferwaaah Either way I'll check right now!

ivory plume
#

The spritesheet format didn't change in 1.6, though there are some portrait-related dialogue changes (e.g. it won't try to parse invalid values like $harry as a portrait command anymore).

Oh yeah something was messed up. After 3 it's very wrong

ornate locust
gaunt orbit
ornate locust
#

That'll get you to it

gaunt orbit
#

Order determines which cabin each cabin marker is for

#

So if you have 8 cabin tiles and only 3 cabins it knows where to place them

ivory plume
#

(New in the upcoming SMAPI 4.4.0: a set_verbose console command which toggles verbose logs during a session for all or specific mods, to simplify troubleshooting.)

image.png
peak halo
gaunt orbit
#

If you didn't know, you can start the game with prebuilt cabins

peak halo
#

Oh okay I get it

#

Why do some have the same order number?

gaunt orbit
#

Bc there's two types of cabin markers and each type needs its own order

#

One is for "spread apart" and the other is "close together"

#

@outer glacier

#

Thank you

peak halo
#

Does their placement matter when building a map? Like does it need to be specific?

gaunt orbit
#

No, it's just so that you can tell the game where you want them as a map author

#

Though they do need to have enough space to fit a cabin obv

#

You can have as many or as few as you want, but the number you put in will determine the maximum number of starter cabins people can have when using your farm type

#

The vanilla maps app have 3 of each type, for a maximum of 4-player multiplayer. There's a few modded maps which support up to 8 players

peak halo
#

And I need to make sure i have two of everyone I make?

gaunt orbit
#

For each spread apart one you need a close together one somewhere on the map, and vice versa

peak halo
#

Close together to each of the other tiledata for cabins?

gaunt orbit
#

No so like. When you start a save you can choose to have your cabins close together or far apart

peak halo
#

Is there a way to identify which is a cluster cabin setting and a spread apart?

gaunt orbit
#

Yeah

#

There's two different paths tiles

#

The tiledata goes with the tile

peak halo
#

They have different IDs and Orders. Does the early ID one count for cluster or spread? Like ID 66 and ID 69 are both Order 1

gaunt orbit
#

ID is internal and the game does not ever see it

#

As a I said there are two different tiles in the paths tilesheet

#

Please look at the tiles on the path layer where the tiledata objects are

peak halo
#

oooh I see

gaunt orbit
#

The tiledata is being applied to those times

peak halo
#

I have a hard time seeing the little red cabins in the squares

#

so I see what youre saying now though

gaunt orbit
#

It looks like you have the highlight layer setting turned on, I recommend disabling that. It may help with visibility

peak halo
#

Yeah I think the guide I followed said to turn that on

gaunt orbit
#

I generally do not recommend modding guides unless they're on the official wiki or the modding wiki

#

The official wiki is mostly documentation rather than tutorials but for most things it is very thorough

peak halo
#

I believe it was one of the links the guide sent me to for downloading tiled, smapi, etc

vernal crest
#

The official wiki page is the one that says to turn the highlight layer setting on

#

I just ignored it because I found it confusing

gaunt orbit
#

What really? Ew

peak halo
#

Yeah

gaunt orbit
#

Fair enough

peak halo
#

Definitely better off

vernal crest
#

If I am ever confused about which layer something is on, I use ctrl+shift+h to hide all the layers except the one I have selected

gaunt orbit
#

It is useful for making sure you're on the correct layer, but it makes it really hard to see the map

brave fable
#

again though the hotkey is H so just toggle it on and off whenever you need it, there's nothing saying it always needs to be on or off

peak halo
#

Why is there a NPC barrier at the very bottom corner of the map? Does that do anything?

gaunt orbit
#

I admittedly have not read the guide bc it came after I was already doing maps

gaunt orbit
peak halo
#

Guild say it blocks npc movement but when do npc even go down there?

gaunt orbit
#

Animals and monsters are also npcs

#

Weird, I know

#

Townspeople will greet slimes if you put them in the town

But just for that 1 specific tile?

How would I go about adding a custom npc room?

latent mauve
#

A spouse room, or just a room that they live in when they're not married?

A spouse room my bad!

latent mauve
#

For a spouse room you'll need to make a TMX file of your desired room-- I suggest using one of the vanilla spouse rooms as a template so the size is correct.

hexed snow
#

I've been looking through the wiki and havent found anything. All I can think to do is load it in the content.json but I completely forgot how to do that

latent mauve
#

And then you'll set the texture for that spouse room as part of your Data/Characters entry for the NPC. 🙂

#

(If it wasn't for the spouse room, I was gonna point you at my apartments mod as a placement suggestion SDVkrobusgiggle )

hexed snow

I am very tempted to add fake Artifacts to my Dubious Art Market mod, but not sure if it's possible to add a "Maximum Items donated to the Museum" as a Condition.

tiny zealot
latent mauve

Poking around at the GSQs and there is MUSEUM_DONATIONS <min count> [max count] [object type]+

if you want museum completion specifically, you can check the mail flag for the stardrop that you get for doing it

the flag is better because the max amount of things that can be donated can change with different mod lists

# latent mauve Poking around at the GSQs and there is `MUSEUM_DONATIONS <min count> [max count]...

Basically, I want to gate certain sales so in the early game, Cheap artifacts findable very early on will be available and then as you donate more, the "Vendor" starts making later game Artifacts and discontinues the early game ones. Primarily since the fake artifacts will all have "Gunther can tell you more about this if you donate it to the Museum" as their description but obviously you can't actually donate it. The ruse is up if the player knows for sure they donated something since the description changes when you donate.
I also need to somehow give them the "Artifact" type without them actually being donatable? Is that doable? If not, I have a backup idea.

# autumn tide THE WHAT

Around the time @tiny zealot made the "Romanceable Hat Mouse" mod (Better Known as Hat Mouse Lacey) I joked that I had always wanted to make the Bear from the Maple Syrup Secret Note romanceable, and they Strongly encouraged me to do it. Sadly, it is Well outside my skill level, so it's been backburnered for a while. I'll need to research this NPC Maker.

All else fails, I can make my Bear like Krobus - They just stand around stationary all day and night and then move into your house if you cozy up to them. Barely any scenes. Minimum Viable Product and all that.

The single largest hurdle I see to my Bear mod is that the Bear is bigger than a standard NPC.

Honestly I was absolutely GIDDY when the prototype Art Market worked, which was all the motivation I needed to decide to power through it. I'm sure once I make Romanceable Bear MVP Edition, I'll figure out how to make them more complex later, instead of trying to make the whole thing at once...

speaking generally, you write your own patches to change just the bits you want, then make sure your patch runs after the relevant one from the mod in question

Can one make a farm outside of the normal farm with a content patcher? Asking for planning reasons.

Or make a place where the player can sleep that isn't a farm?

I don't think any C# is needed to allow crop-growing and such in other locations, but it depends on the definition of "farm", some features are difficult to replicate or move
sleeping somewhere else is largely fine, though, you can use bed tile properties and/or allow players to place their own beds in a given location

Is Gunther coded as an NPC in the game? If so, where can I go read the code that runs him? If not, how do I make an """NPC""" visit you on your doorstep like he does??

Check Data/Events/Farm

late pewter
#

I found him in Data/Characters! He is coded as an NPC but has no schedules or dialogue whatsoever, being powered entirely by events or probably Tile interactions.

lucid mulch
#

Most people are technically characters these days in 1.6, but even if they aren't you can always make temporary actors which bypasses a character/npc requirement

devout otter
#

Yar, you can check Marcello in Harvey's 10-heart event for how you can add a character to an event without having to make him an "NPC" in `Data/Characters'.

late pewter
#

Basically, I want a character to show up on your doorstep one or twice, and they sit behind a counter otherwise.

#

Basically exactly like Gunther

devout otter
#

Aa, yeah, if you want the NPC to have dialog behind the counter then the simplest way is to make a non-social NPC like Gunther.

late pewter

Doing more research, I think I'll have to go with the Gunther clone. The hard part is writing the event. I have never done this before. I'll procrastinate and make all the art first.

The fix

late pewter
#

I just realized there may not actually be a way for an event to occur when you've donated only 1 artifact like I intended? I may have to stick with mail?? Not seeing how the game checks how many artifacts you donated in Gunther's event. It seems to be hardcoded somehow?

fossil osprey
#

Well there are some rewards you can get after donating a certain number of artifacts, so there's surely a way (or hardcoded indeed)

gentle rose
#

if you can make mail happen you can probably make a next day event happen using a mail flag

proven spindle
vernal crest
#

There's no reason to add mail flags into it, because anything you can check with a trigger action entry you can check in the event preconditions anyway.

vernal crest

#

How would I write that into an event, though? The format doesn't appear to have that? Unless I'm missing something? But for mail, It may be doable, I just need to read more into how to send mail.

The GameStateQuery precondition lets you use any GSQ

So it would be exactly the same as how you'd check it for sending mail

i just kinda... take an in-game screenshot and just slap it onto nexus. cropped if needed. im usually too lazy to make them look pretty haha. i just need functional

#

Gotta change My character or maybe do a better looking farm so i can take the pics outside, i just did a random new Game file and took the pics and i'm like uhh this should look better

#

Thanks for the ideas ❤️

This "land placed" thing is actually a bit of hardcoding not found on additional farms, which is why i didn't know about it

scarlet warren
#

ah

lucid iron
scarlet warren
#

I didnt see their responce. What did they say?

#

Ah

lucid iron
#

You can double check your Content folder

#

If an asset is like

#

Content/Maps/Farm.xnb

#

Then you be editing Maps/Farm

scarlet warren
lucid iron
#

You can just add new farm types now

scarlet warren
lucid iron
#

Instead of replacing standard farm

scarlet warren
#

The whole point of my Modest Map mods is to make the default maps cleaner.

lucid iron
#

Whether u wanna do that is your call

scarlet warren
#

They are intentionally replacers

#

also havent figured out how to ADD maps just yet

#

Will probably do that when I make a brand new one

lucid iron
#

Adding a new map is also just doing a Load

scarlet warren
#

it is??

lucid iron
#

But instead of Maps/Farm you load to a custom target

#

Like Maps/inkubus.NewFarm

#

You also need to add the farm data + the location data to make the map actually exist in game

scarlet warren
#

and the icon on the create screen and minimap?

lucid iron
#

Yes that's part of the additional farm data

#

Map is sort of similar to texture in my mind, i.e. a kind of artistic asset that is just loaded

#

you need data around it to actually give it purpose in game otherwise it's just never accessed

opaque field
#

I know BETAS has a "passed out" trigger but what if that but also each time added an increment stat so people could be like "yo you've passed out 10 times I beg you take better care of yourself"? Could you do that with BETAS or would that need C#?

hard fern
#

hm i wish it were possible to display bust sprites above the dialogue box for a conversation between two npcs... i know i can do it but only one at a time...

opaque field
#

ooh wait maybe use the trigger to add the increment stat and then have separate trigger actions that check how many points they have like {{ModId}}_PassedOutStat, and then trigger dialogue via conversation topic?

lucid iron
#

Yeah u can hook the betas passed out to increment stat

opaque field
#

WHOO

#

now the harder part, figuring out how to apply that to the player dying+where they died

#

maybe to start do something to HospitalEvent? if HospitalEvent add Trigger then use trigger to add CT?

calm nebula
#

Does the TriggerAction fire at the death location or the revival location (honest q)

woeful lintel
#

If GameLocation.startSleep is called but Game1.player.isInBed.Value is false, then the game dims the light and play the player sleep animation but doesn't trigger newday until the player changes location

#

so I tried to just set Game1.player.isInBed.Value = true; before calling the sleeping question dialog (copied from GameLocation.performTouchAction) to make FF's custom bed sleep spot feature work but it somehow turns to false before GameLocation.startSleep according to a debug prefix I made.

lucid iron
#

Do u also call the map action sleep at any point?

woeful lintel
#

I let the location handle everything by just doing this:

                        location.createQuestionDialogue(
                            Game1.content.LoadString("Strings\\Locations:FarmHouse_Bed_GoToSleep"),
                            location.createYesNoResponses(), "Sleep", null
                        );
lucid iron
#

People used that for NPC house player sleepovers before so it should work

woeful lintel
# woeful lintel I let the location handle everything by just doing this: ```C# ...

and just with this, it works fine but ONLY IF the custom sleeping spot is roughly where it would be in vanilla, so I assume that some flag is set (maybe player.isInBed) somewhere in the code but I can't find it~~, but if I set Game1.player.isInBed.Value = true; before calling location.createQuestionDialogue, then it somehow turns back to false before GameLocation.startSleep is reached ?!~~ that was on me somehow, still don't know why my collision code was faulty...

Hi, I have a doubt, mostly about Nexus instead of mods. Is Nexus using AI on the mods's images? I can't tell if it's just the authors's own edits or if it's Nexus' doing, or something else (maybe Opera?). I'm not even sure it's AI, but it looks like it?

I've seen a few more with such rendering, and I just wanted to know (I'm not trying to attack these particular creators if they're indeed using AI btw). I have the AI tags blocked, so I know I shouldn't be seeing too many AI-related mods, but I'm seeing so many of these kind of edited cover images

I didn't see any news about it, so I'm a bit lost

what I mean is that it can't be a Nexus filter

tiny zealot
#

nexus does sometimes over-compress images and crush the detail out of them (not slop, just webp), but it used to be worse before a bunch of us complained about it

lucid iron
#

Hm that doesn't really look like AI and instead it's adobe illustrator vibes

#

It looks pretty intentional on author side to do the vectory vibes

#

And earthy interior 2nd image is the source that got vector filtered

#

A search for 14790 shows that it's had this thumbnail since 2022

woeful lintel
#

oh yeah, you're right, this has the vibes of a vector image

Oh yeah leroy i am working on new technology™

urban patrol

tbh idk how that even happened because i thought i deleted that folder and was using tilesheetinator at the time

lucid iron
#

@woeful lintel it is a gui for making mods such as furniture

#

I only did cp vanilla furniture + wallpaper output rn but I did try to oop things so that implementing other kinds of output is viable

woeful lintel
#

holly shit

(pardon the language)

lucid iron
#

You can look at the spaget I'll try to organize my interfaces better kyuuchan_run

woeful lintel
#

I'm not touching that until spring, but that is awesome!

lucid iron
#

Yeah I also need a break from UX fiddly lmao

woeful lintel
#

although I don't know If I'll have the motivation to do any UI work with C#/xna

lucid iron
#

But yes maybe we can do a FF plugin for it

#

Oh this is with stardewui

woeful lintel
#

haven't looked at this yet, maybe it's manageable

lucid iron
#

The way i set it up is that u get the texture draggy stuff for free via an include

#

And then u do the right side inputs

woeful lintel
#

although I'll work on actually finishing FF3 when I'm done with my master, I'll look into this after, it's really cool!

lucid iron
#

Plus the c# model behind it ofc

#

It means the furniture mode and the wallpaper mode can share a good portion of things

woeful lintel
#

I wish I could make UI for stardew with Godot... I would be unstoppable

lucid iron
lucid iron
#

I think I'll just release it as is for basic CP furniture use cases Dokkan

#

Some of the assumptions I made on handling of assets is a little tied down to content logics bc i want to make this useful for many kinds of cp mods

calm nebula
#

Chue do you look at xmldocs for this

lucid iron
#

I should but I think trinkets sucked all fun of xmldoc out of my body

#

But yeah I'll at least doc the stuff that's meant to be maybe implemented by other ppl

formal crown
#

In case I don't know, are there any utility or extra features mods for buildings? SDVpufferlurk

lucid iron
#

Yeah kind of?

formal crown
#

(modding-wise, not user-wise)

lucid iron
#

But you gotta be more clear

#

Buildings can use tile properties so it gets access to lots of things for free

formal crown
#

I'll have to meddle with DrawLayers (once again)

lucid iron
#

Ah I did a lot of that in mmap

#

But only for stuff vanilla doesn't cover

#

Here's what's in there rn

formal crown
#

I want to have two "skins" for a sawmill building, where one has its watermill at left and one for at right

lucid iron
#

Oh that one u can do with just vanilla i think?

latent mauve
#

Is it just for visual or is there going to be a location based input/output?

formal crown
#

Visual

lucid iron
#

Ok drawing is too hard actually so I'll try to explain in words

#

Firstly your entire building needs to be on 1 texture, don't use the drawlayer Texture field

calm nebula
#

Becuase I'm terror lol

lucid iron
latent mauve
#

(you can use the same vanilla behavior as the cabins for building skins if it's just visual)

lucid iron
#

I still have to make decisions about how to enter the data UX wise

lucid iron
#

So imagine you have a big draw layer rect but skin 1 draws the wheel on left

formal crown
#

Is there a way to make an animation change positions based on which skin is used?

lucid iron
#

And skin 2 draws the wheel on right

#

That's the easiest approach here Bolb

formal crown
#

I didn't see any on the wiki, but maybe I missed something

lucid iron
#

In the scheme i described you dont change the position on the actual draw layer

#

You r just make a big mostly transparent texture and change the position within the big box you gave yourself

formal crown
#

So the SourceRect points at an empty space, and the whole thing is one or two or whatever DrawLayer?

lucid iron
#

I did want to make the mmap stuff conditional on what skin but it is kind of pain

latent mauve
#

Its not as simple as a "only use this DrawLayer if the skin is this type" because there isn't a GSQ/condition for that AFAIK

lucid iron
#

I was only talking about the draw layer itself

formal crown
#

The watermill is not static

lucid iron
#

Yeah but isn't the animated parts a draw layer?

formal crown
#

Yes

lucid iron
#

Mhm so i was only talking about that part

#

Let's say your wheel is like i dunno 32x64 big

#

And building is 128x64

#

We'll put the wheel animations beneath the building, on the same png for both skin

#

If u make the draw layer use source rect 0 64 128 64 and 4 frames, you can have skin 1 put the wheel only on 0 64 32 64, 0 128 32 64, etc

formal crown
#

Ohhh

lucid iron
#

For skin 2 you'd have the wheel on other side 0 96 64 32, 0 96 32 64, etc

formal crown
#

So it'll always draw both "wheels", but because of the placement one is always going to be empty space

lucid iron
#

Wrong chat, sorry 🥲

lucid iron
#

I pulled the numbers out of my hat but that's the idea

unique tusk
#

ALR Got burnt out for like,,, a couple months BUT finally picked up my modding project again and immediately got stuck so chat how did I mess this up?? 😭

image.png image.png
#

Im not getting any red text it's just none of the dialogue I wrote is appearing in game ksjgdkasj

formal crown
#

So you can set a seperate SourceRect for the second skin?

lucid iron
#

No you have to set the same source rect

#

But that's why u make it big

#

So that u can just put the wheel where you need it on the texture

#

The vanilla limitation is that all skins have the same set of draw layer data, and the only thing that can change is the Texture (as long as drawlayer.Texture is null)

#

That is why we r doing some gymnastics to give us more room to work with on texture

formal crown
#

If both have the same texture and same rect, how is one of the wheels going to be empty?

lucid iron
#

By having that area on the texture transparent

#

We r being intentionally inefficient here Bolb

formal crown
#

Or do you mean having two Textures with almost the same features?

lucid iron
#

Well you have 2 textures skin 1 and skin 2 yes?

#

That part isn't negotiable, it's how building skins work in general

formal crown
#

Well I could have yes

#

Ohh so. its this:

lucid iron
formal crown
#

Its ugly since it only took 30 or so seconds

unique tusk
#

Me, who has no idea how to use a trigger action: uhmmmm

lucid iron
formal crown
#

Thats. Smart SDVpufferwow

lucid iron
#

Although bc it is going to be animated you probably wanna move the wheel down

#

So that the static building gets it's own rect

#

And u draw the animation for wheel on the rects beneath

formal crown
#

And I just expand to the side when I do seasonal variations, yes?

lucid iron
#

Yep

formal crown
#

Thank you chu, you're a genius SDVpufferwow

lucid iron
#

I should probably look into making conditional draw layers happen tho

#

It was something i suggested few months back but it's probably not happening for 1.6.16

formal crown
#

Yeah, probably vanilla wouldn't use that so nope

lucid iron
#

This is a bit of a detour from your actual problem though

#

I think what you need to confirm is whether your CT is actually set

unique tusk
#

Hmmm I think I'm overwhelmed and am gonna come back to this problem later 😭

hey, im writing a remake of stardew valley for the 3ds as a hobby project, and i was wondering, do the maps hold data for buildings at all or are those loaded all through code, the picture seems to make me think that all object positions are defined in code but i may be wrong

Tyy tho for trying to help!!

Grass, debris, trees, bushes and MP cabins

If the thing you are making isn't going to be an sdv mod, you don't have to be tied down to sdv shenanigans

molten helm
#

i know, im trying to keep the code structured similarly to the original though to maintain it in order

lucid iron
#

If the thing you are making is meant to be a 1:1 port then I'd actually look at whether it's viable to get some flavor of Linux onto 3ds

(Oh, I missed stumps and boulders)

molten helm
#

i can show my progress though, i got all the maps and tilesheets imported and can load them on 3ds

lucid iron
#

Retuning to your original question, there are objects added in C# for various purposes

#

But it's saved to the save file just like if a player went and placed an object

#

Or built a building

#

You can look at the GameLocation.objects and GameLocation.buildings for this

#

They get serialized

molten helm
#

ill do that

#

i wonder which ones worse, C# or C++

lucid iron
#

C++

formal crown
#

(C++)

molten helm
#

im setting myself up for failure

lucid iron
#

This isn't an opinion :)

molten helm
#

before c++ i was writing all my 3ds homebrew in C which was even worse

lucid iron
#

C# is a pretty normal high level oop language with the usual nice things like garbage collection and exceptions instead of segfault

#

C++ likes to pretend to be this SMCPufferjail

molten helm
#

this is gonna be a long year lmfao

#

i wonder if i would be even able to release it if i ever finish it

Probably not if u use mr ape's assets

The 3ds is really underpowered though so it probably wouldn't run something like stardew very well

lucid iron

Well there was official sdv on ps vita

some maps are positioned poorly thats why they are black

fwiw, before:

And current:

tiny zealot
#

the way base stardew works is all the music is .wav files (huge), and they are all loaded fully into memory at game start. so you will need to essentially reimplement the audio system, and almost certainly re-encode the music files

#

of course you're already rewriting the whole thing in C++, so reimplementing is not a concern per se

lucid iron
#

What does actual 3ds game do for the musics

formal crown
#

(That rail and white bench are layering shenanigans, but I don't remember the exact problem with them)

#

The Log and that half-circle are working animations iirc?

tiny zealot
lucid iron
#

I would if this was still massive improvement for devs coming from like gba or something

tiny zealot
#

like back on the super famicom you would load up the (essentially midi) data and hand it off to the sound chip and that would do all the music playback, and leave your ram and cpu free to do the game parts

#

i don't remember much about how the gba does it, if i ever knew

molten helm
gray bear
#

is there a framework that adds like, a Skins feature but for furniture? besides AT, i should clarify

molten helm
#

Actually it might have been streaming from the files not through ram

lucid iron
tiny zealot
#

thinking once again about this comment, apropos of nothing trust

molten helm
#

I mean isnt there a harvest moon for gba

#

Close enough

tiny zealot
#

yeah, but if you just play that then you don't get to find workarounds for all the insane technical limitations you would surely encounter

molten helm
#

I think the gba has an arm7 processor

#

And the 3ds has an arm11

tiny zealot
#

gba is arm7tdmi, yes

molten helm
#

And ds has an arm9

Hey guys, I am struggling to get an event starting and I don't really know why. So I load a jsonfile with the event details into the Data/Events folder with the name of my own custom map. I am just testing, so, so far the whole json file only contains this: {"{{ModID}}_ShipRepairing/": "continue/50 50/farmer 50 50 2/skippable/pause 5000/end"}. Normally, the event should play as soon as I step onto my own map, right? Did I do anything wrong or is there a different way to initialize an event?

lucid iron
#

You can't use tokens like {{ModId}} in a Load

subtle condor
#

Oooh, okay, yeah makes sense. But it still doesn't work though

#

I don't need to initialize an event, right? It should just start as soon as I step into the location, unless I add preconditions of course

urban patrol
#

what’s the target of your load

subtle condor
#

Just Data/Events. Should I write Data/Events/the name of my map?

urban patrol
#

yes

#

although i recommend loading a blank and then using edit data instead so you can use tokens

gaunt orbit
#

Important- it should be the id of your location, which may not be the same as the name of your map

subtle condor
# urban patrol yes

yeees, finally it works, thank you SDVpufferheart sometimes it is just as simple as that XD

subtle condor
uncut viper
#

also for future reference there is no such thing as "loading to a folder" like your initial assumption. Data/Events, when it comes to assets you target, is not a folder, its just an asset name that happens to look like a file path

#

but is not a file path

gaunt orbit
#

I figured I would mention it bc people get maps and locations mixed up a lot

urban patrol
#

yeah all very good points

subtle condor
subtle condor
#

I also have another problem that I thought I found a solution for, but I didn't XD Is there a way to make a token with CP negative? I am trying to do something like "!HasSeenEvent:hostPlayer": "{{ModID}}_ShipRepairing, but it doesn't work with an exclamation mark. I tried something like "query: '{{HasSeenEvent:hostPlayer}}' = '{{ModID}}_ShipRepairing'": false, but I don't think that is designed to do what I am looking for XD

#

Not token, I meant condition

#

Or I guess a condition is a token as well XD

lucid iron
#

You can do "token |contains=value": false

gaunt orbit
#

You can't use a bang to negate conditions

What does ur textures look like now?

#

Right:

#

I managed to stick the wheel back on the right, but now the woodlogs wont appear

#

If both of their SourceRects are the same, the wheels will be half on soil and half on water which defeats the point

lucid iron
#

Oh do u need it to be adaptive to where the water is?

formal crown
#

I mean the wheel's purpose is visuals

lucid iron
#

Yeah i mean, do u want to let people change the skin as they please

#

Or auto change skins for them

formal crown
#

I didn't think it'd be a variable so that's on me

#

I suppose it means sacrificing the logs at the right side (they aren't a big deal, they were there just to make the door's side logically impassable)

lucid iron
#

Are the log pile a draw layer? or part of the base source rect

formal crown
#

Part of the source rect

#

I can seperate them if its needed?

lucid iron

Nah i think you just need to make the base sourcerect 1 tile wider probably

@polar escarp Hi! A comment on the Seasonal Hats page today reminded me that I never actually released the Fashion Sense integration, so I'm working on that now.

I noticed a few quirks when setting the data through Content Patcher though.

Given this code:

// patch A: add basic hat data
{
    "Action": "EditData",
    "Target": "Data/PeacefulEnd/FashionSense/HatData",
    "Entries": {
        "{{ModId}}/Hat/{{IdSuffix}}": {               // "ParadigmNomad.SeasonalHats/Hat/DeerAntlers"
            "Author": "ParadigmNomad",
            "PackName": "Seasonal Hats",
            "PackId": "{{ModId}}",                    // "ParadigmNomad.SeasonalHats"
            "FromItemId": "(H){{ModId}}_{{IdSuffix}}" // "(H)ParadigmNomad.SeasonalHats_DeerAntlers"
        }
    }
},

// patch B: disable color tint
{
    "Action": "EditData",
    "Target": "Data/PeacefulEnd/FashionSense/HatData",
    "TargetField": ["{{ModId}}/Hat/{{IdSuffix}}"],    // "ParadigmNomad.SeasonalHats/Hat/DeerAntlers"
    "Fields": {
        "BackHat": { "DisableGrayscale": true },
        "RightHat": { "DisableGrayscale": true },
        "FrontHat": { "DisableGrayscale": true },
        "LeftHat": { "DisableGrayscale": true }
    }
}

Issue 1: duplicate entries
Fashion Sense seems to duplicate the entries? For example, the content pack adds an entry with key "ParadigmNomad.SeasonalHats/Hat/UnicornFlowerCrownSpring", but exporting the asset shows both that entry and a copy with the key "ParadigmNomad.SeasonalHats/Hat/Unicorn Flower Crown (Spring)".

Issue 2: null field handling
The [Back|Right|Front|Left]Hat fields are null before patch B edits them, but:

  • If we remove patch B (so they stay null), Fashion Sense injects the default values. The hats work fine in-game, but the color tint breaks their design.
  • If we keep patch B (so the fields are initialized to the default value), Fashion Sense skips setting the inner default values. The hats are invisible in-game.

Changes in the final asset when patch B is applied:

- "HatSize": { "Width": 20, "Length": 20 },
+ "HatSize": null,

- "StartingPosition": { "X": 0, "Y": 60 },
+ "StartingPosition": { "X": 0, "Y": 0 },

- "DisableGrayscale": false,
+ "DisableGrayscale": true,

Does the content pack need to manually override HatSize + StartingPosition with the defaults in order to override DisableGrayscale, or is that a bug?

Issue 3: wrong texture used
Seasonal Hats has five versions of each hat: four static versions (spring, summer, fall, winter) and an auto-seasonal version. However all the variants for each hat somehow use the texture for the spring variant.

I can send you a zip of the content pack (and Content Patcher 2.9.0 which it needs) if you want to try it in-game.

# ivory plume <@433956433181147136> Hi! A comment on the [Seasonal Hats](<https://www.nexusmod...

Issue 1 is due to Fashion Sense using the item's name (extracted FromItemId) . It really should be using the given entry instead, I will get that corrected (so ParadigmNomad.SeasonalHats/Hat/UnicornFlowerCrownSpring would be the correct one).

Regarding Issue 2, definitely a bug! I will get that fixed so those two properties are set if they are not given (instead of only setting if the entire model is missing). That way you can set DisableGrayscale and still use the default position / size values.

For Issue 3, I will need to take a look at that content pack and test to see why the texture is not displaying correctly.

hellooo got more questions, does prefixing a condition with ! to make it negative have an equivalent for CP when token things?

lucid iron

Yeah it's the |contains thing mentioned earlier

Here you go!

Repro steps:

  1. Install these mods.
  2. Load a save.
  3. Activate the hand mirror.
  4. Navigate the Deer Antlers, Elk Antlers, Flower Crown, Mossy Flower Crown Elk Antlers, or Unicorn Flower Crown options.

If you have CJB Item Spawner, you can search paradigm to find the original items to compare their sprites.

The Fashion Sense edits are in patches/add hat with season.json, which has a workaround for the null field issue:

// HACK: when overriding `DisableGrayscale`, we need to explicitly set `HatSize` and `StartingPosition` to their default values.
// These fields are null at this point, so this will initialize them to empty data models.
"BackHat": { "DisableGrayscale": true, "HatSize": { "Width": 20, "Length": 20 }, "StartingPosition": { "X": 0, "Y": 60 } },
"RightHat": { "DisableGrayscale": true, "HatSize": { "Width": 20, "Length": 20 }, "StartingPosition": { "X": 0, "Y": 20 } },
"FrontHat": { "DisableGrayscale": true, "HatSize": { "Width": 20, "Length": 20 }, "StartingPosition": { "X": 0, "Y": 0 } },
"LeftHat": { "DisableGrayscale": true, "HatSize": { "Width": 20, "Length": 20 }, "StartingPosition": { "X": 0, "Y": 40 } }

Let me know if you need anything else!

The normal "token": "value" form is basically "token |contains=value": true

Is it possible to spawn monsters on a custom location with content patcher or do I need FTM?

brittle pasture
#

need FTM or SpaceCore yes

worldly wadi
#

Oh oki ty

#

what abt custom monsters? I mean, new monsters?

autumn tide
#

item extensions can do monster spawning upon item use too!

brittle pasture
#

you can have monsters that are reskins of vanilla monsters with custom drops and stats

#

if you want new behavior that's C#

#

but bats/mummies/duggies/crabs/dinos/shadow guys/etc. should cover all the basics

autumn tide
#

(eavesdropping bc also curious)

worldly wadi
#

Like, I'm planning to add a new monster with new sprites and with an existent behavior, it only attacks, doesn't do anything new, is this possible with only content patcher?

brittle pasture
#

with content patcher and a framework, yes

autumn tide
#

hmm, maybe could monster variety be used for that?? idk, i haven't messed with it yet

#

to nexus i go!

brittle pasture
#

monster variety adds variants to the vanilla monsters

worldly wadi

brittle pasture
#

you want to spawn new monsters in new locations, that's those two mods

autumn tide
brittle pasture
#

as I mentioned, use MV if you want your monster to occasionally replace the ones the game spawns in the mines

#

just to clarify since I can be unclear at times

autumn tide
#

yeah, it does seem like effectively a fancy reskin thing that enables custom loot and specific times for said reskin to apply, BUT it does seem like you might be able to add vanilla monster to a location and mess around with their sprites/drops, and then only make that variation apply when in your custom area?

brittle pasture
#

that would, for a third time, be FTM or SpaceCore

autumn tide
#

oh, to spawn the monsters or all of it?

brittle pasture
#

all of it

autumn tide
#

gotcha gotcha

lucid iron
autumn tide
#

ohhh

brittle pasture
#

yeah I implicitly said that but didn't want to say it conclusively since I don't own the mod

lucid iron
#

it can add skin to monsters spawned by other means but spawning is not it's job

autumn tide
#

oh yeah, I know that bit

lucid iron
#

that is how bog/aba chose to use it

autumn tide
#

i can suck at phrasing things at times-

vernal crest
#

We have had to make it very clear on the mod page that it doesn't affect how many monsters spawn because we keep having comments saying that it's causing too many/not enough monsters to spawn and I'm like "no you're imagining that" lol

How do question dialogues work, and more specifically how do action question dialogues work (such as backpack upgrade, or house upgrade)? Like, those are questions that specifically do not have a followup; but if I try to not add a reaction with $r, it doesn't work

Hii so im pretty new to modding in general..

after looking at things for a short while, i figured out what I wanted to do probably? has to be done with harmony, but I wanna just ask here to confirm my thoughts
If im modifying the game mechanics such as friendship/farming/combat, i need to use harmony right? smapi doesnt support this?
