ah makes sense
sounds like a bug to file to animal husbandry

How hard will it be to change the internal name of a mod/modded character?

lucid iron
#

Pretty annoying but possible

lucid iron
small lotus
# lucid iron What's the reason

I want to use the LADS Zayne mod, but the RSV Zayne is conflicting so I'm gonna change RSV internal name so they can load properly

lucid iron
#

Oh I'd probably change lads zayne just cus his mod is smaller

latent mauve
#

Please be aware that you will likely need to create a new save for both to properly exist once you have changed either, because FormerName (the usual method for changing a NPC's internal name mid-save) will likely behave weirdly with two NPCs with identical names in the save data

small lotus
#

I'm okay with both

lucid iron
#

So assuming we start from a only 1 zayne scenario, you can look through the whole mod to all refs to Zayne and update them, you'd have to know what is changeable though

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.

I don't know the answer (someone else probably does) but that's a pretty easy thing to check by just doing a quick edit to shirts and pants and seeing if it changes the underwear in game.

feral trail
#

would it be theoretically possible to make compatibility mods to use multiple modded farms (kinda like multiple farms in multiplayer) each with their own modded farm and greenhouse of different kinds, as well as to make community center bundle replacement mods play nice with each other? Even if it would be very difficult

feral trail
#

oh, and different modded farm caves. i assume it would just be setting up warp points for the various maps in terms of allowing travel between, but I'm not sure about the baseline allowing multiple farms. given that the vanilla game has both the farm and the ginger island farm, and at least one expansion pack I know of has another, I would assume it would be possible

Apparently, roses in the sand doesn't feature a spouse portrait

Like, adding it as furniture/ to the traveling cart? Not super hard :3

feral trail

#

if not, it won't exist in same save.

#

so what you need to do is research each real names the mods use

feral trail
#

that makes sense, thank you. i'm hoping I can find a way to make the mod itself find the individual farm name in each custom farm mod, and either assign it to an available "farm space" that's created by the mod (or convert it to one), or to be assigned to one (either by a config menu, in game dialogue, or the option for both)

im not sure if this is a question i can ask but...
could i have advice on how to start trying to formulate a community when i begin being able to publish my mods? im not sure how to go about it and I'd love if i could manage it especially cuz i wanna get into commission work if i can-
like...do i just put link in the mods description like ive see in many mod descriptions, is there more to it or any just..general advice TvT

(if this is the wrong chat to ask or if this isnt a proper question i can ask i apologize)

Okie :3

# feral trail that makes sense, thank you. i'm hoping I can find a way to make the mod itself ...

It be necessary to monitor all custom locations and check whether the map property "IsFarm" of the map data assigned to them is true.
(Anywhere can be farm with that property. watch also "Map" section in wiki)
Assuming that "IsFarm" may be assigned later, you won't be able to catch all of them unless you monitor at a fairly high level.
When you want it automatically rather than manually, it seems like you'll need to perform operations that Contentpatcher can't do.
Implementing the functionality you envision would require a fairly deep understanding of the game's internal structure.
(If you pickup the mod you support, or leave it user declaration, it may be more easily, I guess.)

merry river
#

kind of a general question because i had an idea but i can't access my computer to look it up right now:

how do you implement those short events where an npc shows up in front of the farm in the morning to say something? (thinking of the event where marnie gives you your pet for example)
what are the target coordinates for that since farm layouts are all different?

gentle rose
#

oh, interesting. let me check for you, there’s a chance they’re hardcoded tbh

vernal crest
#

My understanding is that you just put the event on the farm and it will put the NPC in front of the house by default

opaque field
#

Can confirm ^^

teal crest
#

Events in the main Farm are manipulated as relative Coordinates.("ignoreEventTileOffset" in Event command disabled it though.)

merry river
#

oh interesting! i'll try to check that later then. i did see some custom NPCs showing up on the farm like that but I can't remember whether or not they had c# components

teal crest
gentle rose
# drowsy minnow im not sure if this is a question i can ask but... could i have advice on how to...

it depends how much you care and how big the mod is - a lot of people just publish mods and let them stand for themselves, developing more of a community as they go. You can’t link to commission stuff directly on nexus (or even mention the word “commission”), you’ll get banned (annoying rule, I know) but links to discord servers etc are pretty common, and a lot of people have a ko-fi, vgen, tumblr, etc where they put mod stuff. Some people like to advertise on reddit but it’s a mixed bag (the main stardew subreddit tends to dislike modding and the modding subreddit is kind of unmoderated right now).

bleak bough
#

Helloo, I'm new here!
I wanted to ask if it is possible to have different farm saves with different mods each?
For example, if I want to download a few CP farmhouse mods and have a different one for each save, is there a way to do that?

#

I saw a mod that allowed something along those lines but I can't find it anymore, and there are so many beautiful CP mods that don't have an AT conversion but I'd still love to have them in my game🥺

!stardrop You can use the mod manager Stardrop to easily switch between profiles for your saves

ocean sailBOT

Stardrop is a mod manager written specifically for Stardew Valley. See the Stardrop wiki for installation and usage.

See this tutorial for connecting Stardrop to Nexus or updating mods in Stardrop.

If you have issues with Stardrop, see the issue report guide.

To use this command, type !stardrop.

Now that HMK is out, what can I use as reference to create custom (potentially NPC) kids of my own?

hallow prism
#

dolphin's mod maybe could be a good start

lucid iron
low marlin
#

For instance, what is this "String" target for?

It doesn't seem to exist in the base game itself...

image.png
lucid iron
#

Those are for localizedtext

#

After setting the asset up you can use [LocalizedText Strings/DolphINaF.AdoptLeo:somekey]

#

It's nice for i18n since this just works within i18n no passthrough needed

#

Adopt leo very good but because it's usually adopt npc mode there's some differences between that and the have your own kid mode

low marlin
#

What about the sample Senlets/ARV Kids pack on HMK's GitHub repo?

gray bear
#

the example packs generally use other CP mods to make the kids real, iirc

#

see "HMK example"

#

that one is just a baseline of a custom pack

low marlin
#

So if I want to make HMK NPC children for vanilla/modded spouses - what can be inferred?

gray bear
#

i don't understand the question

#

i made one by using the [CP] HMK Example as a base and adding things

low marlin
# gray bear i don't understand the question

What is different if I want to make HMK kids for these two situations:

  • Kids of vanilla spouses (or even Krobus, if there are mods that allow children to be adopted with him)
  • Kids of modded spouses (e.g. Sen, Sterling, Sophia, Victor, the Wizard, etc.)
lucid iron
#

You can look at the ARV one too sure, they don't have textures though

#

Senlet is similar, because I don't wanna commit other ppl's art blobcatgooglyblep

gray bear
#

different would be just, the spouse value

#

like tokens aside it'd just be a different Parent

#

you need to use interal/id names for modded characters

lucid iron
#

Yeah modded npc are indistinguishable from vanilla npc

low marlin
#

Likewise, if I want to add additional events (like what seen in Dolphin's Adopt Leo mod), how can this be executed?

gray bear
#

adding events is a vanilla feature

#

i mean like, CP feature but its not like a special HMK thing im pretty sure

lucid iron
#

Yeah I don't do anything special there

#

You can get the kid display name via some tokens tho

#

These r useable for dialogue and event

low marlin
#

What about seasonal/condition-based outfits for each HMK kid the player has?

lucid iron
#

That's just appearance data stuff

#

Muffin & Cookie have 4 season outfits plus festivals

#

You can add more with different conditions

low marlin
#

What is the “L@Kid” label in HMK content packs?

true coyote
#

when you can't reproduce the issue

lucid iron
# 
{
  "Action": "Include",
  "FromFile": "data/kid.json",
  "LocalTokens": {
    "L@Kid": "muffin",
    "L@Endearment": "{{Endearment_Muffin}}"
  }
},
#

so this is the bit in content that's including the file

#

then inside data/kids.json itself, {{L@Kid}} is a token that has value muffin

#

i also have a separate include on the same file, where "L@Kid": "cookie",

short temple
#

How can i make a custom building like the barn? I want to make a monster farm building

hallow prism
#

you can look at mods adding custom buildings

#

usually they require a map, and buildings data

#

custom behaviour like monster farm may require extra mods or C#

short temple
lucid iron
#

u can make farm animals that are monsters

#

and then a custom animal building for them

short temple
lucid iron
#

for something more like slime hutch there's a particular framework for it

short temple
low marlin
short temple
#

But they lay eggs and You can make mayo, they also drop fangs, i can still remain all those if they change the building? Or the slime hutch prevents that?

lucid iron
#

its just a way to make making a lot of kids faster

short temple
lucid iron
#

i would go look at a mod like snes dino

short temple
#

Thanks buddy

low marlin
#

For the CP token “ModId”, which mod’s ID does it check for, specifically?

gray bear
#

the UniqueId value in the manifest.json

#

that is the only mod id that exists. if you mean the numbers in the nexus url, that's the nexus page id

low marlin
#

In the Muffin & Cookie example pack (which is a conversion of the ARV Kids content pack for Growing Valley), what does this do, exactly?

lucid iron
#

well u see where in the manifest it says Himetarts.ARV.HMK

#

whenever {{ModId}} shows up in the json now, it gets replaced by Himetarts.ARV.HMK at runtime

gray bear
#

adding {{ModId}} makes stuff you create (in this case, kids) more unique and less likely to conflict with other mods

#

-# god that sounds so cursed without context pls help

lucid iron
#

for content patcher, anything in a {{ }} is a token

#

which will turn into some actual value

gray bear
#

like if your child name is James and their internal names is just that any other mod that adds a NPC called James will break. hence why the reccomanded thing would be {{ModId}}_James

lucid iron
#

HMK asks you to actually give a particular key (kidid) that refer to your kids with, because i didn't want to count up 1 2 3 4 etc

#

and dont have to make ppl wrangle different scenarios of older/younger sibling

gray bear
#

i just use like boy1 and girl2 etc but that's a me problem

lucid iron
#

the arv pack is a little special in that muffin being the older sister is enforced

#

but that is also example of why not simply counting up opens possibilities

gray bear
#

actually i could just change mine, my only issue if what if i change their names but like, display name and id don't have to match

#

hey chu if i don't set any of the kids being older is the order just random

lucid iron
#

yea like normal

#

this bit says "cookie can't be choosen for birth until player has muffin as a child"

gray bear
#

wait, how does that work for the first child? like the first would be muffin but the condition is u have muffin already

lucid iron
#

Muffin is unconditional

#

This is inside the unique-cookie include

#

Which is cookie only

gray bear
#

ah, i see

pine elbow
lucid iron
#

The NPC's home map should be {{ModId}}_JanelleApartment

@next plaza are you available sometime this weekend for setpiece debugging pretty please? i can offer a kitten picture in return

lucid iron

Regardless of how many layers the fromfile is the same

west geyser
#

So I could do like "FromFile": "assets/data/filex.whateveter, assets/data/filey.whatever"?

lucid iron
#

Yep that's fine

#

Includes are a little special in accepting comma in FromFile

#

Other cp actions generally don't

west geyser
#

I know target files allow it. Also, could I do includes from different files like "assets/data/filex.whatever, assets/random/filey.whatever"? or would that not work?

lucid iron

No Includes are explicitly for content patcher json

urban patrol

you shouldn’t use it in i18n because it’s specific to your mod anyway and yes it doesn’t get parsed correctly

Creating Translation Capability

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

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

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

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

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

To use this command, type !i18n.

Hi! For my wild trees mod, a player asked me if it would be possible to let one of the trees have customizable colors. The options I’ve thought about so far are the following:

  • Using GMCM, although that would probably limit it to choosing only one color (I think).

  • Using Alternative Textures, which would allow changing the color of different trees and having multiple colors in the same save.

  • Packing the recolored images in a zip file and letting the player replace them manually. This would be the easiest approach, but also the least user-friendly.

If you suggest using Alternative Textures, do you have a link where I can read how to do the procedure?

# ocean sail

i dont think it would help since i just need to rename all the keys and not the dialogue itself 😔

autumn tide
#

!json hmm, could you share your json please?

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.

Sorry for bothering again. I’m running into several issues: my NPC doesn’t follow her schedule and can’t be interacted with. I’m not sure if I’m handling the i18n translation or the default.json file correctly. Also, I don’t really know when I’m supposed to use {{ModId}} in i18n. And I’m not sure if blank.json is causing conflicts with the load dialogue and schedule. https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/b49299b9951144099293b5198de2f91a

lucid iron
#

well the schedule thing is probably because of your warps blobcatgooglyblep

#

you shouldn't use any tokens in i18n files they don't work unless you pass em in

modid is also not needed bc i18n is already scoped to your mod

(If you want to check what the game actually sees, you can enter patch export Characters/Dialogue/<your mod id>_Janelle in the SMAPI console and open the file it creates.)

#

EditData only edits an asset that's loaded by the game. Since that's a custom asset, do you have an "Action": "Load" to add it too (usually from an empty JSON file so you can edit those lines in)?

@frosty gate Hi! I'm adding Stardew Access support to Lookup Anything's search UI, as an experimental step towards making all my mods accessible. (The search UI is pretty simple, but it has representative trickiness like text entry and dynamically added/removed clickable elements.)

It mostly works, but I noticed some inconsistent behavior.

The intended behavior is:

  1. When the search UI opens, it selects the search box and speaks basic instructions ("Lookup Anything search menu. Search box selected. Enter text to search.").
  2. When the keyboard closes or the search results change, it describes the search results (e.g. "Search box. 3 results found for "Abigail". Navigate down for results.").
  3. Search result components have a ScreenReaderText value which describe the result (e.g. "Abigail (NPC)").

However:

  • If you enter text using the on-screen keyboard, all screen reading in the menu stops after that point (both mouse hover and controller snapping).
  • If you use controller navigation and then switch back to mouse, hovering elements with the mouse no longer reads them.

Here are the code changes (the relevant bit is SearchMenu.cs), tested with both Stardew Access 1.6.2 and 1.7.0-beta.1.

Could you see if I'm doing anything incorrectly?

It sounds like you don't have a translation with the key Janelle.Dialogue.Introduction in your i18n/default.json file?

#

Though that won't prevent you from interacting with the NPC, it'll just say the literal text "(no translation:...)".

pine elbow
#

Yeah, I don’t understand what the problem is. And in the default.jsonI have it like this: "{{ModId}}_Janelle.Dialogue.Introduction". Could it be because the ModId is in the default.json but not in the i18n?

ivory plume
#

Yes, the translation key you give to {{i18n:}} needs to match what you have in the i18n/*.json files (whose keys also can't contain tokens).

this is gonna be a dumb question but I can't figure out which code to use for what I'm trying to do while adding a event to my mod.

@ruby marsh Hi candidus I released a kid related mod Have More Kids recently and I want to ask for your opinion on how compatibility should work. For some context, Have More Kids is a mod that tweaks a number of children related things like how many you can have and how fast they grow up, but it also has content pack features for custom kids with dialogue and all that.

Right now what I did is entirely disable the Child -> NPC aspect of HMK while LittleNPC is installed, to hopefully let people use HMK (no content packs) + LittleNPC (with content packs) together. It would be nice if I could get information about whether a particular Child is considered LittleNPC managed, so that HMK (with content packs) + LittleNPC (with content packs) is also possible.

e.g. you can patch export Characters/Dialogue/<youractualmodid>_Janelle

the way i18n works is:

  • dialogue.json:
    "VanillaKey": "i18n key"

  • default.json:
    "i18n key": "the dialogue"

pine elbow
lucid iron

there's also patch parse "{{i18n:Janelle.Dialogue.Introduction}}" which will quickly let you check if your i18n key is good

load patches look a bit different in terms of format

you won't use fromfile for example

Hey @tiny zealot, So I was checking FontSmasher, and I was wondering if there was a list of like all the used PUAs by mods or if there was a way to reserve a specific range of PUAs, just to make sure no other mod changes the same one that I am.

lucid iron
#

what are PUA

sleek flint
#

Private Use Area characters.

#

like \uE000

#

Can't they be used with the framework?

#

I figured they can.

ornate locust
#

alright I was concerned about the pickup artists entering code, but that's better

bitter coyote

Do I need to capitalize folders and document names like how farmer needs to be lower case in events?

I use sublime, but it doesn't communicate the issue to me well

In general if u can do all lowercase that's usually better

and I don't wanna edit another character that actually gets used.

lucid iron
#

is this for the TV channels or something else

sleek flint
#

Yes

lucid iron
#

Both...?

sleek flint
#

tv channels

lucid iron
#

In the TV channels case I think it would be better to just do custom UI type things

sleek flint
#

I am making 2 mods, one is a framework and the other is a mod that adds 2 channels that uses it, and I want to have icons in the dialogue of one of the channels.

#

I am so tired of seeing my code SDVpufferwaaah
I don't wanna think about it anymore, I just wanna do something easy and simple like json and release the mods so I can work on something else.

lucid iron
#

As for font smasher think the glyphs are limited to particular font so if someone use your mod without your font then they'd lose the glyphs right

#

I'll let ichor answer it for certain on that one Dokkan

bitter coyote
#

Sublime is the darker one. ++ isn't showing me any errors

To allow modders to change the fonts without users having to manually change and choose the fonts themselves.

lucid iron

This is in regards to custom tv channels since it seems pretty functional already

#

Oh yeah i forgot that i wanted to check your TV draw code for compat SMCPufferjail

sleek flint
sleek flint

With custom tv screens

#

I know both mmap and ff implements something for that

This mod uses mmap to make a radio that's secretly a tv with 0,0,0,0 screen

sleek flint
#

Oh ok, that would be easy.

#

Thanks for reminding me to tell leroy I finished the compatability code with FF.

bitter coyote
lucid iron
#

I only patch 2 methods and don't directly touch draw

#

If you are also just using those 2 methods then no special compat required

sleek flint

What is mmap? SDVpufferclueless

It's chucore :)

@lucid iron If FonstSmasher is no good for me (hopefully not), what do you recommend I do to display the icons SDVpufferthink

preferably the most lazy-ass solution possible.

lucid iron

I haven't read your docs yet (they exist right) but iirc you have something to show an icon on the TV while the channel dialogue progresses right

Sorry for bothering again, but I still can’t interact with my character at all. The picture I sent long ago is the default.json, while in the dialogue.json I have the i18n keys. I used the patches and it says that the token string is invalid or unready, and the schedule doesn’t work either.

I had already encountered that error before, so I removed the load dialogue and kept the include, but nothing seemed to change. I only have one load dialogue and one load schedule

lucid iron

This is also nice

lucid iron
urban patrol

do you have two copies of your mod or something accidentally? you'll have to find where that other load is

Do a search for the one with LogName Loading Janelle Dialogue

i'm so confused on what "update key" means- cause it's saying that i put the mod page there, but i do it before? how does that work

gulp

pine elbow

Yeah that's the second one

sleek flint

The first one is called Blank JSON load

but it's saying to add it BEFORE it's even uploaded- is what i'm confused abt

sleek flint

Install this mod btw its really great and i heard the author of it is really handsome SDVpufferclueless

After you fill in the first page and go to media

OHHH okay

lucid iron
pine elbow

Yes

lucid iron

I just want to make sure I see what you see

pine elbow
urban patrol

in general, the recommendation is to load a blank.json because loads can't use tokens. then you use editdata to add in the actual data, where you CAN use tokens

sleek flint

I should really update this mod after releasing the TV mods, though. Does anyone have update ideas for it?SDVpufferthinkblob

Other than more NPC compatibility.

  • Characters/schedules/{{ModId}}_Janelle

This is the second load https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/f66e111b2840457fb58306c116267bcb#code.384
It loads this thing again

I made C# for 2 reasons, first I wanted to add little details, like for example, the name of the book that Elliotte releases gets mentioned in the letter, or for freelancers like seb it mentions a random company name, etc. And the second was because I wanted to learn C# coding. But I didn't really learn anything from it, though. Miss Coriel wrote the base code for me, I just copy-pasted it for every NPC (yes, as you can imagine its a mess and disgusting to look at 😭).

#

I actually have a more optimized version that used dictonaries and records instead, but I never released it. I don't know why but for now, while I am at it, let me actually add something to it instead of just optimization.

#

so again, if anyone has ideas, tell me.

summer spoke
#

Right, okay, I managed to fix things I think, but now I'm confused about how to name events. I think I know what to do, but do I need to seperate events into different jsons? Like, one's for heart events while the other's for non-heart events?

lucid iron
sleek flint
lucid iron
#

Yeah im not against just doing all the data edits in C#

#

So i guess it's more about whether u make it easy for other mods to add compat

#

E.g. let's say i have seb is a girl mod, can I easily edit the NPC name and message you are sending out?

sleek flint
#

I am considering adding multiple dialogues per NPC to reduce repetitiveness, but I am scared for my hand because of the amount of dialogue I will have to write SDVpufferchickcry . So do you all think I should do it?

sleek flint
lucid iron
#

Assuming I'm doing the "seb is girl" aspects in content patcher

sleek flint
#

and that will help justify the C# a bit.

lucid iron
sleek flint
#

wdym?

lucid iron
#

Basically when the player exhausted the special messages

#

Just give them the money with a HUD message pop-up

sleek flint
#

Ahh, I guess I could do that.

lucid iron
#

I guess you'd have to track which messages are already seen ofc

sleek flint
#

And iirc my mod wasn't compat with polymary sweet so I will add that.

lucid iron

Oh why not

sleek flint

I think

peepoClap ty guys its done

sleek flint
#

lemme double check I haven't seen the code in a while

lucid iron
#

Besides getting the freelove/polysweet API

sleek flint
#

I think a year.

lucid iron
#

You could probably just iterate the NPC list and use the NPC version of getspouse

#

That one returns the farmer

summer spoke
#

Or wait, do I need to do a new json for every story event?

#

or rather every event itself?

sleek flint
sleek flint
lucid iron
#

The iterate all NPC can be a bit slow tho

summer spoke
#

okay, thank you

lucid iron
#

And the API interface is same for both multi spouse mods rn so it's probably fine

sleek flint
#

I will check if polymary and free love have an API

#

if not I will just iterate only if they are installed.

lucid iron
summer spoke
#

Okay, I've got things to almost work. Now it's telling me "'Pitiable > Pitiable/assets/StoryEvents': file 'assets\Events\StoryEvents' doesn't exist..."

urban patrol

Is that the "Target"?

urban patrol

no in the from file

target never takes file extensions

summer spoke

okay, thank you

#

Hay, on the bright side, at least it's recognizing it, right?

autumn tide
#

um, I dont think you need the FromFile key there

summer spoke
#

Right, I'll try that, thank you

urban patrol
#

what you want is to EditData Data/Events/BusStop (loading it will erase all existing events). you also don't need a FromFile with an EditData; the data comes from the Entries as opposed to a different file

summer spoke
#

It's still giving me the message. Could the problem be in my content?

sleek flint
#

Does anyone have any other idea?

autumn tide
#

uhh, what did you want to do?

uncut viper
#

i dont have any context but its not like you cant just grab the position of the dialogue box

summer spoke
urban patrol
#

do you have a content.json and a StoryEvents.json in your mod folder?

summer spoke
#

Yes, they aren't in the same folder though, should they be?

urban patrol
#

no, that doesn't matter. i'm just trying to figure out what the structure of your mod is

#

inside your included files, you should remove the Format line

#

Format only goes inside content.json

Hello! I asked about editing bundles the other day, and I've made some good progress, but ive run into a snag when it comes to actually loading my bundles in game
I'm using content patcher to replace the .bundles file with a .json of my own, which is right here: https://smapi.io/json/none/42a3f06e841741bc9a7290ff1300b141
and it loads into the game just fine, when i go to the community center all of my craft's room bundles appear exactly as intended
however, when i try to click on any other room's bundle, i get a softlock that repeats the same error on a loop and locks my menu buttons (but not movement?)
My SMAPI log shows this: https://smapi.io/log/db9f4b9ec15243f8ade2d1a646715051
Do i have invalid data in the items list or the rewards? are the modded items to blame at all, despite the fact they loaded into the crafts room just fine? if anyone could point me in the right direction or help me parse the error im getting, i would really appreciate it

you cannot downscale something while retaining quality. you by necessity need to discard pixels in order to downscale. some scaling algorithms handle this for pixel art better than others, but you cannot turn a hi res image into a low res version without losing quality. if you want to retain the same quality, you would need to look to see if theres a framework or other dependency that can allow you to use a high res texture for furniture (im not personally aware of any options, but id look into Furniture Framework or Spacecore's texture overrides if you're interested)

there's no way to reserve characters at this time. since the game only uses one font at a time in each context, font smasher is (currently) only designed to allow modifying the one font, and the current expectation is for mods to coordinate externally (at this time there are only three consumers, and none of them use the PUA at all)
it is possible (no word on how likely) that in the future font smasher will support swapping to alternate fonts as desired, in which case you could sort of guarantee having the right character set for your messages

Is that the ModID+name one?

urban patrol
#

yep

bitter coyote
#

for every instance of dan?

urban patrol
#

everywhere that isn't inside of dialogue/strings, you need to use internal name

bitter coyote
#

Thank you. I will make the changes and report back

urban patrol
#

"hey dan long time no see" vs. "move {{ModId}}_Dan 4 0"

while we're at it, please change your event id to a mod id-prefixed string. we don't use numbers anymore

Can you give an example? Sorry, I have been learning from tutorials and the wiki and I get mixed info

Hello! I asked about editing bundles the other day, and I've made some good progress, but ive run into a snag when it comes to actually loading my bundles in game
I'm using content patcher to replace the .bundles file with a .json of my own, which is right here: https://smapi.io/json/none/42a3f06e841741bc9a7290ff1300b141
and it loads into the game just fine, when i go to the community center all of my craft's room bundles appear exactly as intended
however, when i try to click on any other room's bundle, i get a softlock that repeats the same error on a loop and locks my menu buttons (but not movement?)
My SMAPI log shows this: https://smapi.io/log/db9f4b9ec15243f8ade2d1a646715051
Do i have invalid data in the items list or the rewards? are the modded items to blame at all, despite the fact they loaded into the crafts room just fine? if anyone could point me in the right direction or help me parse the error im getting, i would really appreciate it

hey so I'm making a new event and mid event I'm having it switch over do sebastians room but it wont send the characters there, it only makes the view go back to his room. this is the code that i have put in at the moment:
changeLocation SebastianRoom/viewport 5 5/warp farmer 6 5 Sebastian 5 5/faceDirection Sebastian 1/faceDirection farmer 3/globalFadeToClear 0.07 true/switchEvent Sebastian

Try changetoTemporaryMap instead of changeLocation :3

opaque field
#

(I’ve never used changeLocation my b haha)

reef creek
#

the location change went well but yea i did get a smapi error about that do you want me to send my smapi log over?

tiny zealot
#

no, that won't be necessary. that error is your problem

brittle pasture
#

(not your fault; seems like the wiki is wrong?)

#

(if you look at the vanilla wiki data you can see that you're missing an empty field before the final field (display name)

upper orchid
reef creek
#

okay it did work at adding the characters in so thank you but now that are like at weird angles in the spot, how do I get them to just be right next to each other?

tiny zealot
#

if memory serves, warping farmer and warping NPCs end up at different Y pixel coordinates for secret reasons. i've used positionOffset before to address it

#

do be careful that positionOffset can cause subsequent move commands to break in inexplicable ways, also for secret reasons

#

(advancedMove does not have this problem. no, i do not know why)

reef creek
#

okay thank you!

latent mauve
#

Pathoschild, thank you so much for image transparency masks in the new SMAPI, I can now go in and simplify all my tilesheet changes instead of having dozens of individual Replace patches for scattered sprites. ❤️

#

Or at least, I can when it gets further supported by the upcoming Content Patcher update ❤️

uncut viper
#

ooh if the smapi update was released that also means official non-maps tilesheets is available now too SDVpufferparty

urban patrol
#

is there a changelog for it somewhere? i checked nexus and github but didn't see one

#

wait there they are, i was looking at 4.3.2

uncut viper
#

the nexus file description links to the changelog

#

its not packaged in a release on github yet

urban patrol
#

makes sense

#

Added support for map tilesheets referencing an asset outside Content/Maps using a relative ../ path (thanks to Spiderbuttons!). so i understand this makes ATA redundant--does it also fix tilesheet climbing? or is that a separate issue

uncut viper
#

separate and not a bug so isnt something that needs to be fixed

urban patrol
#

gotcha

uncut viper
#

it does make ATA redundant that part is correct, though its a different format from ATA so its not a drop-in replacement

urban patrol
#

"fixed" was a bad word there

uncut viper
#

ATA is still required for mods that used ATA until they update

urban patrol
#

congrats on making a mod so useful it gets adopted into SMAPI by the way

#

Fixed schema requiring AddNPCWarps instead of AddNpcWarps. oh this is exciting! i remember i ran into this with someone before

uncut viper
#

tbf im the one that PR'd the code into SMAPI in the first place SDVpuffersquee

urban patrol
#

was the idea for it to be a mod first, or were you sitting on the PR for a long time?

uncut viper
#

ATA came well before the PR

#

the PR has been since last June or July

urban patrol
#

oh pretty recently then yeah

#

Fixed validation error if a warp field contains tokens or consecutive spaces (thanks to irocendar!). i should stop ignoring when people have that error in the validator then, i guess? SDVpuffersquee

uncut viper
#

as far as i know that means it wont give the error in the first place

#

well, spaces maybe, im not sure

urban patrol
#

i would imagine it would still come up if, for example, someone was missing a Y coordinate? since usually it was along the lines of "must match ToX ToY Location FromX FromY"

uncut viper
#

missing a coordinate isnt "contains tokens or consecutive spaces"

urban patrol
#

i think i'm not being clear. the error would come up every time someone put a location name that had their mod id in it

#

even if it was formatted right

uncut viper
#

correct

#

now it will not

urban patrol
#

very good!

uncut viper
#

i understand what you meant now. yes stop ignoring it SDVpuffersquee

Hey all! I am using the stardewmodding-wiki as a guide, but i cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.

Im adding a custom BC (Big Craftable) using CP (content patcher).
My mods loads correctly into the game, but the in-game name, description, and image are all error values.

CP Summary shows that the item loaded in successfully into Data/BigCraftables, but it says the Sprite was not applied.

content.json:

  "Format": "2.8.0",
  "Changes": [
    {
      "LogName": "Load Drink Shop Sprite",
      "Action": "Load",
      "Target": "Mods/{{ModId}}/BigCraftables",
      "FromFile": "assets/BigCraftables.png"
    },
    {
      "LogName": "Add Drink Shop",
      "Action": "EditData",
      "Target": "Data/BigCraftables",
      "Entries": {
        "{{ModId}}_DrinkShop": {
          "Name": "{{ModId}}_DrinkShop",
          "DisplayName": "Drink Shop",
          "Description": "A small stand for buying drinks.",
          "Price": 500,
          "Texture": "Mods/{{ModId}}/BigCraftables",

  3. After uploading, it will show a green box with a URL to share. Post that URL here.

Please do it even if you don't see any errors. This has useful info like what mods and versions you have, what the mods are doing, etc. If the issue didn’t occur in your last session, please load the game to the point where the issue occurs, then upload the log.

oh did you spawn a new one

after making changes

ivory plume

Your Data/BigCraftables edit seems to be incorrect in that log.

urban patrol
ivory plume
#

The log warning says:

Can't apply data patch … Error converting value "assets/BigCraftables.png" to type 'StardewValley.GameData.BigCraftables.BigCraftableData'

Which means Content Patcher is receiving a string entry like this:

"{{ModId}}_DrinkShop": "assets/BigCraftables.png"

Which doesn't seem to match that JSON. Is it possible you're looking at a different version of the file or it hasn't been saved?

paper locust
ivory plume
#

Can you enter patch export Data/BigCraftables in the SMAPI console window, upload the JSON file it created to smapi.io/json, and post the link here?

paper locust
#

oh my gosh. The name of the object is "leggomyeggo.DrinkShopObject_DrinkShop"
when i spawn that in, it works

urban patrol
#

one mod i find useful for testing is CJB item spawner! it brings up a searchable menu

paper locust
#

So i should probably remove the {{ModId}} to keep the name simple

        "{{ModId}}_DrinkShop": {```
urban patrol
#

no, you should very much keep the {{ModId}}

paper locust
#

or would better practice be to just keep {{ModId}}. Do you have any tips?

urban patrol
#

yep, we always recommend prefixing things with your mod id when possible! another debug command that you might find useful is fuzzy item name. for example debug fin drinkshop would do a fuzzy search for your item and wouldn't have to be an exact match

#

or cjb item spawner like i mentioned

Hey, I managed to make my NPC talk and now at least she follows her schedule. The problem is that I had to write something like "Janelle.Mon", since I want to add more characters. If I only put "Mon", there would be a conflict later on. I’m absolutely certain that the ‘Janelle’ part is what’s causing the issues, because once I removed it I was able to talk to my character. However, I still need a way to identify that the dialogue belongs to her.

urban patrol

urban patrol
#

you can use multiple files inside a folder called default

#

this is how mine is set up

image.png
pine elbow
#

Thanks!

urban patrol
#

you can use whatever key you like inside your i18n; but inside an edit to their dialogue, you must use the keys provided by vanilla

#

did you see this that i sent earlier?

the way i18n works is:
dialogue.json:
"VanillaKey": "i18n key"

default.json:
"i18n key": "the dialogue"

pine elbow
#

Yes, and when I did it that way it worked. Since I saw that SVE, for example, used something like "Scarlett.CharacterDialogue.001" in their default.json, I thought I could do the same. I suppose they can because they have C# or something like that.

#

Thank you, as always, for your patienceSDVpufferwaaah

urban patrol
#

they can do that because you can set the i18n key to be whatever you want

#

would a practical example of what does and doesn't work help?

#

(however yeah in general using SVE as an example can lead to a headache since many things about it are outdated, not best practice, or made possible behind the scenes with C#)

pine elbow
uncut viper
#

please be aware that multiple i18n files will still not allow you to have multiple of them with the same key

#

even if they are in different .jsons

#

e.g. you can only have one "Mon" key across all of your files

pine elbow
uncut viper
#

nic's practical example would probably help, since what nic was describing is the solution

pine elbow
#

Oh, okay, I just didn’t want to bother her anymore

urban patrol
#

it's not a bother!

dusk mulch
#

was wondering why an item wasnt being added to the game, just realized i forgot to add the framework...

urban patrol
#

my mod folder>i18n>default>Charles.json:

{
    "charles_dialogue.Mon": "You should come see the agency sometime. We've set up right above the old Community Center.#$b#$1Nobody ever comes in there, so they can't complain it's haunted if we're too loud.",
    "charles_dialogue.Tue": "You can tell us if you’ve got any supernatural mysteries that need solving, yeah?",
    "charles_dialogue.Wed": "You live on %farm, yeah? That's brills! I never tried gardening myself, but it must be aces growing your own food.",
    "charles_dialogue.Thu": "You seem pretty handy. Maybe you could help us out on a case sometime!",
    "charles_dialogue.Fri": "Edwin and I once solved a case on %farm. That was before you came to stay, though.",
    "charles_dialogue.Sat": "Do you go fishing very often? Careful not to fall in.$7",
    "charles_dialogue.Sun": "Other people might have the day off, but our work never stops, huh?$1",
}```

my mod folder>assets>characters>charles>charles_dialogue.json: 
```{
"Changes": [
    {
        "LogName": "CharlesDialogue",
        "Action": "EditData",
        "Target": "Characters/Dialogue/{{ModId}}_CharlesRowland",
        "Entries": {
            "Mon": "{{i18n:charles_dialogue.Mon}}",
            "Tue": "{{i18n:charles_dialogue.Tue}}",
            "Wed": "{{i18n:charles_dialogue.Wed}}",
            "Thu": "{{i18n:charles_dialogue.Thu}}",
            "Fri": "{{i18n:charles_dialogue.Fri}}",
            "Sat": "{{i18n:charles_dialogue.Sat}}",
            "Sun": "{{i18n:charles_dialogue.Sun}}",
                }
    }
  ]
}```

you can see that the keys inside the patch are Mon-Sun as provided by vanilla, but the value i assign to them (the i18n token) is whatever i want. i then use whatever is inside that token as the key inside my i18n>default>Charles.json, and the value of THAT key is their dialogue.
pine elbow
#

Alright, so in the dialogue.json I put ‘Monday’ and in the i18n token I can set whatever I want. Now I understand what you meant. Thank you so much!

not exactly true making of a mod, but is anyone able to remind me which files/filenames I'd need to edit to change the name of an npc in a larger mod (Hazel from downtown zuzu) to make it compatible with Hazel the romanceable witch?

They do actually go sleep on beds which makes seeing the sleep kind of hard

uncut viper

ah hit enter too early

#

they prefix their Hazel's internal name with their mod id. there shouldnt be any incompatibility

huh, smapi yelled at me about it

Oh they use same texture huh

uncut viper
#

oh so they do

mellow laurel
#

sounds like they aint compatible ThinkBigEyes

uncut viper
#

well thats very unfortunate

lucid iron
#

Unfortunately but at least we know what to fix (the Load to Characters/Hazel)

uncut viper
#

but much easier to fix than if the internal names were identical at least

lucid iron
#

Is either author reachable rn?

uncut viper
#

jennisome of the other hazel mod has been responding to comments as recently as last week

#

though in their case the fix is more involved as they do not mod ID prefix anything

lucid iron
#

I think they can keep the internal id for now if they use TextureName

uncut viper
#

for downtown zuzu you'd need to edit the npc.json in the CP folder and edit the Hazel Data/Characters entry to remove the "TextureName": "Hazel" part then also replace any Targets with Portraits/Hazel with Portraits/{{ModId}}_Hazel and similar for Characters/Hazel

#

i do see Characters/Hazel_Custom_DTZ_Pizzeria used in here too though but idk where that actually gets applied since Hazel doesnt have any Appearances

They're all trying to call up the same asset to display. I tried changing the "Action" to "Load" instead of overlay or replace, thinking that might be enough of a change but no.

I have a version of these files where it works. Instead of saying "IncludeGray, Include Pink" etc, I just have them all lumped together under "recolor" with the color options listed. I thought that maybe if I wrote each one out separately they could each be turned on and off.

So it's looking for the furniture.png and then I'm doing whatever to that (overlay or replace)?

The new SMAPI Mask thing doesn't work like I thought it would, so now I wonder if it can be used for Content Patcher at all? Because I have no idea where and how to put PatchMode.Mask in the usual C.Patcher paragraph (which is "Patchmode": "Replace/Overlay") so I do not think it'll work for my mods. Does anyone have an example I can look at?

does CP received an update? if yes, see if there's patch notes

lucid iron
#

I think it's basically eraser

lusty halo
#

Uh, no there's no new CP update. I probably have to wait for that, maybe? Silly me, I was too eager, should've waited.

lucid iron
#

Yeah i think the change to make use of it needs 2.9.0

#

Rn it's smapi mods who can use it if desired

hallow prism
#

so i see how that would happen 😄

# lucid iron What's the goal?

I edit several places in the same tilesheet, so I have several patches focused on that tilesheet. Can slow things down. If that new Mask can work with CP then I save so much space and loading in the json. Let's hope it's something for CP as well.

#

Dw the change is already merged over in CP

#

Just need release

#

@ivory plume speaking of that do you want me to help with zh docs for new feature?

lusty halo
#

Indeed Lumina, usually I see all the frameworks getting updates at the same time, and I saw the news before coffee so I didn't realize CP wasn't updated yet ahah! 😂

i wouldn't be against this being added as alternate commands like portraits have 😄

Did u not have that originally?

atm this line

用源图像修改目标区域中的每个像素。如果源图像有透明像素，则目标图像将在这些位置变为透明。
is the translation of
apply the source image as a transparency mask, which subtracts the opacity of each pixel in the mask from the same pixel in the target image. For example, a fully opaque pixel in the new content results in a fully transparent pixel in the final image.
