[merry river]

thanks for the heads-up! in that case, it's my custom map, though

[merry river]

Okay, this event is giving me a headache. I really don't understand why it's not triggering when I enter the Woods during green rain despite it working fine using debug ebi. If someone could please check my code, I'd be grateful

[brittle pasture]

I think you're missing the ending slash in the key, causing your event to be treated as a manual script
also you should be using preconditions instead of conditionally patching in your event with When conditions

[merry river]

I changed it to a when condition in a despaerate attempt to get it work because I couldn't

[royal stump]

they tried it with GSQ is_green_rain_day before, but the thing is, I'm pretty sure the wiki definition of that is incorrect
(which is why it wasn't on the wiki for a long time)

[merry river]

oops, hit enter too fast

[royal stump]

you could try the normal Weather GreenRain event condition or the other weather GSQ
({{ModID}}_RecipeEvent/GameStateQuery Weather Here GreenRain, I think?)

[vast flicker]

I want to make a NPC mod but I’m scared that the art would be too different from vanilla and I would feel out of place :((

[jaunty shuttle]

People will still love it, it’s your own art style!! I think if you want to then go for it

[brittle pasture]

from the code it looks like IS_GREEN_RAIN_DAY checks tomorrow's date

[merry river]

I'll try both and see what happens

or rather, settle for the one that works first, if it does

[royal stump]

yeah, it's only ever used by the vanilla game for weather context, which I imagine needs to check the next day for overnight setup

the typical weather one should be able to see the current day's green rain

[jaunty shuttle]

There are lots of helpful people and resources here that can help you improve at SDV style art too

Olay

Okay!!✅

[elfin kindle]

Im getting so deep in the modding compats, my code is so ugly and confusing now lmao- Im trying to add an alternative house map, and its been giving me a lot of issues but i think it's finally working as it should BUT NOOO, cus for some reason my NPC can't find his way to Pierres shop from the new map. he can find his way out and to basically any other place, but not Pierres shop. Dude just walks off the screen.

[merry river]

Tried both and couldn't trigger the event either way but maybe my formatting is still off? {{ModID}}_RecipeEvent/GameStateQuery WEATHER Here GreenRain/

perhaps the gsq needs to be in quotation marks

[royal stump]

quotes will probably cause an error where it says the key is invalid (interpreting "weather here greenrain" as a single ID, rather than just "weather")

aside from trying without the / at the end, I'm not really sure what else to try, not very familiar with events myself

[merry river]

yeah haha, i was wondering when this part would apply

[royal stump]

yeah, that specific example is inaccurate afaik, it's just trying to demonstrate quotes/spaces

[merry river]

I already tried without the /

[royal stump]

some gsqs do want escaped quotes for things like /GameStateQuery ANY \"query 1\" \"query 2\"/, but that one doesn't

ig you could try temporarily targeting a map other than Woods, to see if it's not triggering there for some reason

[merry river]

I removed the preconditions and changed the target to forest but still, nothing. I'll take out the dynamic tokens now and see if they are causing the issue

and I don't have to load a blank.json for that since it's targetting an existing map, right? or am I forgetting something here

[royal stump]

you shouldn't, because there's already a Woods asset for its vanilla events

[merry river]

Well, replacing the dynamic tokens didn't help either. I really don't get it since the script doesn't appear to be faulty if it works with debug ebi

[brittle pasture]

try switching "Here" to "Target" in the GSQ precond

[calm nebula]

Test the gsq with the gq console command

[lucid iron]

Did you try the WEATHER gsq

That one that just takes GreenRain iirc

[royal stump]

they did

[merry river]

gsq result is true, changed "here" to "target", let's see

[calm nebula]

Shits and giggles try specifying Town

[merry river]

i checked for town rather than target and changed it in the precondition accordingly and still. nothing?

is there a way to wipe all kinds of flags

patch summary didn't show me that the event has been seen, though

[inner harbor]

I thought events didnt trigger in green rain at all?

[merry river]

please don't tell me that this is the root of the issue

[tiny zealot]

that would be wild and also i can totally see it

[merry river]

putting this on the list of things that are randomly hardcoded

[tiny zealot]

hang on, let's make sure it's true first

[brittle pasture]

GameLocation.checkForEvents

yeup
thanks for the catch lemur

[inner harbor]

Pretty sure it was because outdoor events are buggy as due to all the weeds

[tiny zealot]

yeah location events are blocked when green rain

[inner harbor]

Pity they cannot make indoor events happen

[merry river]

[lucid iron]

Hm i guess you can hack around it with spacecore

Location change trigger play event

Use a temp map version of woods while you at it

[inner harbor]

(I think we discovered this with Eli & Dylan)

[tiny zealot]

the PlayerKilled and rescue events, and your wedding, should still occur

[merry river]

wait, before i do all of that, allow me to scream in agony

[brittle pasture]

(tbh from a player's perspective I wouldn't want progress gated behind viewing an event that only triggers on one day across the entire year, meaning if I miss it I have to play at least another 112 days on average)
(unless this event is actually not important and/or you provide other workarounds)

[merry river]

in that case, should I take the precondition out of the event key and put it in the trigger action's condition field instead?

[merry river]

it's really just a recipe you can get with that and i'll look into alternatives but for now, i just want that damn thing to trigger

[vast flicker]

How do I make a heart event?

[brittle pasture]

[[Modding:Events]] assuming you know the basics for content patcher feel free to reference the wiki page

[[Modding:Event_data]]

[empty radish]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Event_data

[merry river]

IT FINALLY WORKED! Thank you, everyone, for patiently trying to figure this out with me. and thanks to space core for saving my hide once again

In case someone else runs into the same issue as I do and wants an event to play during Green Rain, this is the trigger action I set up with space core:

            "LogName": "Trigger action: Play event during Green Rain upon Location change",
            "Action": "EditData",
            "Target": "Data/TriggerActions",
            "Entries": 
            {  
        "{{ModID}}_RecipeEventTrigger":
                {
                    "ID": "{{ModID}}_RecipeEventTrigger",
                    "Trigger": "LocationChanged",
                    "Condition":  "ANY \"WEATHER Woods GreenRain\" \"RANDOM 0.1 @addDailyLuck\", LOCATION_NAME Target Woods",
                    "MarkActionApplied": true,
                    "Actions": [
                        "spacechase0.SpaceCore_PlayEvent {{ModID}}_RecipeEvent true"
                    ]
                }
            }
        },```

[merry river]

Hmmm not sure why it worked exactly once and when running another test, it plays right after leaving the farm house, soft-locking the game

[rocky copper]

Is there a way for Content Patcher "When" conditions to read in-game stats? A Query maybe?

[tiny zealot]

you can't use game state queries in CP's When conditions (although at least one mod provides a use-only-if-necessary token that does that)

you will need to rely on tokens that content patcher understands

[rocky copper]

Darn. I found a conversation about stats being maybe implemented as tokens for queries, but that was from 2021 and I wasn't sure if that was ever implemented

Thank you

[tiny zealot]

what are you trying to do? there may be another solution

[pale river]

@next plaza hi, I'm using spacecore's dungeon system for a custom mine. Is it possible to do monster floors, and is it possible to do a dungeon with only monster floors?

edit: I found out it's not possible, but I figured out a way to do it

[rocky copper]

Trying to add objects to the game but only if you've read a custom book.

[tiny zealot]

often if something is suitable to check with a GSQ there's a field for that and you don't need to do content patcher about it at all

[rocky copper]

I can make reading the book run a trigger action that updates when the player moves locations, but I was wondering if I could make it instantaneous

[tiny zealot]

i believe it's generally a better idea to add the item to the game data unconditionally, and only grant access to it when the conditions are met

for example, since reading the book sets a stat, you could put a condition on its entry in the (hypothetical) shop that sells it that requires the stat

those conditions are checked every time you open the shop so you would get instant results that way

[rocky copper]

They're meant to be items you can process in a vanilla machine only once you've read the book (and that I can do, just like you described), the goal was to only make them show up in the Shipping Collection if you read the book. I can patch them to exclude from the shipping collection, but then I'm back to square one

It'd probably be okay for them to only show up the next day or on location change, I was just curious how quickly I could make this work

[merry river]

If I wanted to append something using text operations, would this be the correct way:

            "Action": "EditData",
            "Target": "Data/Objects",
            "TargetField": [ "Entries", "void.Peiming_77616e6c657420646f6c6c"],
            "TextOperations": [
                {
                     "Operation": "Append",
                    "Target": [ "CustomFields", "selph.ExtraMachineConfig.SlingshotDamage" ],
                    "Value": "100",
                    "Delimiter": " "
                }
            ]
           
            }```

[brittle pasture]

why you need text operations just to set a customfields

[merry river]

accessing this from another mod

[brittle pasture]

then you can use TargetField

[merry river]

or i'd have to set EMC as dependency for said mod,

[calm nebula]

What is that hash

[merry river]

it's a mystery

for me to know and for you to find out

how would i set up target field then
i am confusion

My silly little crop mod has finally been updated <3 including new recipes, more config options and my tears

[blazing gulch]

thank you!

[royal stump]

I think this technically works? but you'd still have to spam it and pass the normal 1% chance of it happening:
debug monster GreenSlime 10 10 2
tech reasons:
the last argument seems to be interpreted as the slime's "mine level" if it's a number
mine level is used for slime difficulty/color, and also the special item check
it needs to not be an elevator floor or directly after it, so setting it to mine level 2 should make it do the 1% chance check

[wraith bay]

i do not mind spamming it, just happy to have a possible solution tyvm!

[royal stump]

(oh, and 10/10 can be whatever x/y tile)

seems to work in testing

[wraith bay]

yah. prelim test was working well, but wanted to get a chance to test both bobble versions once i get the full graphic set in.

Are these slimes as livestock 👀

[brittle pasture]

you can already ranch slimes in vanilla

hi! im pretty new here but I've been wanting to make a portrait for a custom npc but have no idea where to start. I do have a program ready, permission from the creator, but just do not know anything about the dimensions needed. When I see the two columns, I get too overwhelmed and dk where to start. Anything helps, thank you T-T

[urban patrol]

https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:_Making_a_Custom_NPC#Portraits each portrait is 64x64 px, and it should be two columns. the format is explained here

there's also a template just beneath it

[potent granite]

Okay I see it ! thank you so much ^^

[gaunt orbit]

benchmarking my catalogue optimizations and so far the early results are promising.
even setting aside the batching, the overall total processing time is reduced by almost half

next step is to stress-test it on my main modlist and see if/how it scales

[lucid iron]

Say wren is there any way to stash a built furniture list until you leave a location

[gaunt orbit]

I mean it's possible to cache anything, but what do you mean specifically?

[lucid iron]

Like in hhd sometimes i accidentally close the menu and i gotta wait for it to open again

What if u hold on to data longer is the ask

[gaunt orbit]

Yeah I can do that

[uncut viper]

"First of all, through Yoba all things are cacheable, so jot that down..."

[lucid iron]

What did yoba say about memory usage

[somber kernel]

Everything

[calm nebula]

Just swap, lol

If u can't swap spin up a aws

[gaunt orbit]

I didn't do it before because the assumption was that you would only close it when switching catalogues, switching locations, or when you're done decorating.

Entirely did not occur to me that you could close it accidentally

[valid folio]

Hi, could you help me? I’ve been trying all day to make a mail chain for a very specific quest. The mail chain itself works, but my idea is to donate a specific item to the museum and have that trigger a mail that should be sent the next day. The problem, or rather the problems, are several:

1. I can donate the item. I categorized it as an artifact or mineral, but I’m not sure if simply having one of those categories automatically makes it donatable.
2. Because of the first point, I don’t know whether the item was accepted because of my quest logic or just because those categories make it donatable.
3. When I donate the item, I should receive a letter the next day, and that’s not happening. What I don’t know is whether it’s simply not possible to trigger receiving a mail through a museum donation.

I didn’t implement it through a quest because I don’t think there’s a way to do it that way. I also didn’t do it through trigger actions, although I did create a quest just so it appears in the quest journal as a reminder for the player, mostly for aesthetic purposes. Supposedly, donating the object would trigger an action that removes the quest, which didn’t work. So I added a removeQuest in a trigger action instead, but since the mail never arrives after the donation, this “ghost” quest doesn’t get removed either.

What can I do? Do you need to see the code? I can send it if necessary.

[gaunt orbit]

By default all objects with those categories are donateable, yes. How are you hooking into the donation system?

[valid folio]

Hi, I’ll show you now.

[valid folio]

https://smapi.io/json/none/e9236d40bdcc4186b4a95ffdcdc43229

I copied the code from a friend, although hers uses an item reward instead of actions. She’s not online either, so I can’t ask her about it.

[gaunt orbit]

Does your item id have an s on the end in object data?

[valid folio]

Yes, it’s a sprite with two objects, that’s why I put it in plural.

[calm nebula]

Try putting the context tag in all lowercase iirc

[gaunt orbit]

Also it should be RewardActions and not just Actions

That's probably what's breaking it

[valid folio]

What I put there is the ID, not a context tag. I tried both ways, using the context tag in lowercase and using the ID. But I agree that the problem might be that I’m using Actions instead of RewardActions. However, can it send a mail as a reward?

[gaunt orbit]

I'm not sure. Maybe checking [[Modding:Museum_data]]

Wait it's just [[Modding:Museum]]

Oh! Thank you, I didn’t even know there was a section about that. I’ll check it out. Thanks a lot, I’m sure it’ll help me somehow.

[unique tusk]

Is there a command in event data preconditions or at least a way to script for an event to not happen if a different event has already happened? 😵‍💫

[jaunty shuttle]

I lean yes because Leah's events do that, but don't take my word for it cause who knows what's randomly hardcoded and what's not

[urban patrol]

you would just negate the precondition for having seen an event using a !

i think it's SawEvent?

[unique tusk]

I don't understand what you mean by negate?

[urban patrol]

you would use an exclamation point before it to negate it

like !SawEvent (if that's what the precondition is)

[unique tusk]

So I would put in the coding something like "!SawEvent [MOD_ID]" for every event after it? Or I put it in the actual event that can only be seen if the other hasnt happened??? 😵‍💫

[urban patrol]

whichever events you want to NOT play after having seen an event would need that precondition

[manic temple]

is there a mod for Kent coming home Y1 I might make one when I get good at code and I am to lazy to check myself

Content Patcher Animations is deprecated, iirc and its functionality is now in SpaceCore.

Do you know if there’s any bug with https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Museum ? I copied it exactly as shown, only replacing what was necessary. I even made the item ID and the context tag identical to avoid mismatches, but it never sends the mail. I’m sharing my code below.
https://smapi.io/json/none/9ad2910466c84d0ab0f1b6b11b165daf

[river gyro]

is there a way to go above the usual dimensions for an npc ? Specifically for making a custom one (𓂂ㆆ﹏ㆆ)

16x36 as opposed to 16x32

[lucid mulch]

going above is easy, there is a Size field that defines the size of the overworld sprite.

There are just downsides of doing so that make it so you need a very good reason to want to do so

[river gyro]

wat kind of downsides specifically ? i didn't think it'd make much of a diference due to how little its upscaled (⁠＠⁠_⁠＠⁠;⁠)

[lucid mulch]

Note: sizes bigger than 16×32 will cause issues like broken spawning, pathfinding, misalignment in the perfection end-game slide show, etc.

it wont upscale it will just be bigger

[river gyro]

i'm not good at wording things sory

thank you for responding

[fickle thicket]

You can use PoohCore to make NPCs bigger than 16x32 iirc!

Replace it once conditionally by setting a mailflag during it when its triggered, and have the condition contingent on that mailflag being false.

Theoretically you could trigger it twice in the same day but apart from that, youd be fine.

[valid folio]

Hi, I had gone to sleep haha. Yes, I’m not receiving the mail.

[valid folio]

Hi, Selph. I tried it that way too, and it didn’t work before. When I’m back at my computer, I’ll try again, since now that I made the ID and the tag match, I haven’t tested it that way again yet.

[brave fable]

invalid tile gid errors from tsx files should be blown up in a safe location somewhere in deep space

[uncut viper]

has someone been saving maps without the tilesheets again

[brave fable]

who makes a website called "map fixer" that doesn't fix invalid tile gid errors from tsx files

[uncut viper]

just embed them and upload the tmx 😌

the real answer is, it'd be impossible to do

fixing tile GID errors requires knowledge on what other tilesheets are present in the map and in what order

a .tsx on its own does not contain enough information to fix it

nor does a .tsx alongside a .tmx

[brave fable]

oh to have the information to fix it

the same tileset works fine embedded and breaks when replaced with the tsx

the tsx of course being identical

[fickle thicket]

What's a tsx map file for

[uncut viper]

sounds like it's being loaded out of order

as for why that may be, beats me!

a .tsx file contains information about a tilesheet. Usually, this information is kept inside the .tmx itself, but you can export tilesheet information to a .tsx which can in some situations make it easier to use thta same tilesheet in another map, since the .tsx will also contain information about the animations that tilesheet has set up

[brave fable]

consider you've got one tileset you're working on, and several maps it's used in. if it's embedded in all 3 maps, you have to export and re-embed into each map for every update, or worse, manually update all maps' tilesets for any changes (tile properties, animations, etc)

[fickle thicket]

Ah i see

[brave fable]

maps referencing TSX files will use the latest properties and animations, no need to export or embed or update or edit

[fickle thicket]

so if you have a tsx you can just update that and no need to update the rest of the maps?

[brave fable]

precisely

[fickle thicket]

ahh okay good to know

[brave fable]

however, every so often luck frowns on you and your map will be completely unusable for ??? reasons

[uncut viper]

You will also of course have to deal with terrible tsx related errors if you get any little thing wrong about them 😌

[fickle thicket]

eugh im guessing its pretty complex? good luck blueberry

[uncut viper]

Also if you're using custom tilesheets it's one more little annoyance having to make sure they're in the right spot too, which unlike the sheets themselves, is firmly next to the .tmx

[brave fable]

more obtuse than complex

odd tho. tileset first gid is 5176, tileset contains 2356 tiles, which should only result in tiles up to 7532, but the map has tiles with id 7654 and higher

hell, it has tiles with id 2147486268 and higher

[uncut viper]

those super large IDs are actually normal

iirc, something to do with flipping and/or rotating? maybe not, but i remember when i was making map fixer that there is something to do with subtracting from int.max

[brave fable]

how normal

[uncut viper]

as in, intended

working as designed

[brave fable]

oh, hm. maybe this is it

the tileset does not contain 2356 tiles. it is a 996x768 image which should have 2988 tiles

[blazing gulch]

Does anyone know the route for crafting items, I mean things like barrels and casks?

[uncut viper]

TMXTile.TMXFormat.LoadTile(Layer layer, TMXMap tmxMap, uint gid)

[brave fable]

?? ? ??

[uncut viper]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[brave fable]

hi, are you looking to make a new craftable machine?

[uncut viper]

Very byte-saving way of storing whether a specific tile placement is rotated I suppose

Rather than having another section of xml somewhere that saves coordinates and rotations

[brave fable]

i suppose so

[blazing gulch]

No, I'm only going to change the appearance of a machine

[brave fable]

oh i see, the route

TileSheets/Craftables has all those items

[lucid iron]

You can EditImage those

[blazing gulch]

thank you ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

[brave fable]

note to self: this particular invalid tile gid error was caused by me previously extending the tilesheet image downwards, but some combination of undo/redo/reexport PNG caused the tileset width+height+tilecount fields to desync with the actual tilesheet image, so the previous tilecount value was being used and my tiles in the extended area were above the gid+tilecount and considered invalid

updating the fields in the tsx solved the issue and the map loads with a non-embedded tsx tileset

[uncut viper]

that is a new and interesting error to me that i will not support in map fixer

[lucid iron]

Blueberry this is like 3rd time i witnessed you finding esoteric bug

It just keeps happening

[brave fable]

it would be trivial to compare the tilesheet image dimensions with the tilecount if the user also uploaded the tsx file, but probably not many people would have this problem

i'm something of an esoteric creature

[calm nebula]

If u look at tmxtile

[uncut viper]

ah, but what if there is another bug that leads to incorrect image dimensions being reported?

[calm nebula]

You can find that uses these very large numbers for flipping

[uncut viper]

atra I think you have lag

[calm nebula]

I thought it might have been bitmasking

[brave fable]

you would also need the tilesheet image 🙂‍↕️

at which point they may as well just drop the mod folder in chat and say 'help'

[calm nebula]

Yeah, and map export doesnt handle this either, oosp

[uncut viper]

(actually, I just double checked map fixer's code. it does actually re-calculate the tilecount and use that for gid calculations. so it would have fixed this if you embedded it 🙂‍↕️)

[brave fable]

tiled does that itself, the issue is fixed on reembedding

but i do not want it embedded 🙂‍↕️

[uncut viper]

yeah, but clearly we cant put all our trust in Tiled

cant you embed to fix it, then like, pop it back out

[lucid iron]

Can u just embed and unembed

[uncut viper]

like a shoulder

[brave fable]

probably, i was more interested in what the issue even was. i embedded, it was fixed, so i replaced the embedded tileset with the original to look at it again

[uncut viper]

the map fixer wouldve said what the issue was in the log as it applied the fix 🙂‍↕️

[brave fable]

but the issue would already have been fixed

[uncut viper]

(you brought these comments upon yourself with this one /lh)

[iron ridge]

i love when i have something i need to compile but i cant remember how i actually compiled it

[valid folio]

https://smapi.io/json/none/c821efeda4114095b336fa877a513f44

I set it up exactly as it appears on the wiki, matching what you mentioned it should be, and I’m still not receiving the mail. I’m going to try one more thing that might be interfering. I don’t think that’s the issue, but just in case.

[brittle pasture]

did you donate another item to test

i recall museum rewards only gets checked every time you donate

[valid folio]

No, I was thinking of trying something generic to see what happens.

[valid folio]

I always test it on new save files.

[valid folio]

No, the thing I thought might be interfering isn’t the issue either.

Alright, let’s try setting it to trigger when donating any mineral in the game. If this still doesn’t work, I’ll have to scrap the idea. I really liked it because it was a very nice story, narratively coherent, it introduced more new characters from my lab, and included characters who aren’t used or appreciated much (all in text form).

I have a draft of the mails in English in case anyone wants to read them. I just can’t think of a coherent way to justify receiving those items without that specific chain of events.

[valid folio]

Putting item_type_minerals instead of my item’s ID worked. I received the mail. So the problem must be with my item, right? But what’s the mistake? I had already tried setting the category to gem (-2), minerals (-12), and 0 (artifacts), and matched the Type accordingly for each category.

[brittle pasture]

post full object code

[valid folio]

ok

Artifact version
https://smapi.io/json/none/e3e1fea2f0ec416d8fb47c35109976a7

Mineral version
https://smapi.io/json/none/0d82eddf8d8f48bcb3139df29e5c2ab1

Gem version
https://smapi.io/json/none/4dc2c0a239054f9ebd078a941d0df97c

[brittle pasture]

your item is named {{ModId}}_prehistoric_saplings but you're using id_o_{{ModId}}_Prehistoric.Saplings

see the dot vs underscore

[valid folio]

No, that thing about the dot was old. Now I made both the item ID and the context tags match by replacing the dot with an underscore.

[iron ridge]

that was shockingly easy to port casey's tbin library to emscripten

and it doesn't crash my browser like my js one

[brittle pasture]

ok well that's what I see on my end so

[gentle rose]

are you suggesting people should edit maps in browser

[autumn tide]

helloooo does the ambient light event command work on rainy days?

(sadly not working for me rn)

[brittle pasture]

(when you post code you should assume that people will assume that all of your code is recent)

[iron ridge]

oh this is for sdvconvertergui3

i need to convert tbins to tmx files for tmxl2cp

[uncut viper]

i think people should edit maps in browser

[iron ridge]

there are worse things you can put in a browser tbf

[valid folio]

Whether I use an underscore or a dot, it doesn’t work. I thought it might be because the context tag has to match the ID, so I set both of them with an underscore.

The one you corrected for me with id_0_ already had the underscore. If you want, I can try again.

I’ll use the same Objects as Quartz, since that’s the one I donated. Or I could try this instead: copy the Quartz Objects, set it to donate any mineral, and see if it picks up my item that way, right?

Whay do you think?

[brittle pasture]

id_o, not id_0

and pls post the absolute latest version of the museum reward data you tried

[valid folio]

I copied and pasted that part directly from the wiki into the JSON file. I messed up there because the “o” is close to the “0” on the keyboard haha, I can’t see very well haha.

[valid folio]

Now I’ll post how I’m going to test it so there won’t be any confusion or doubts. Don’t worry.

[valid folio]

objects (quartz copy)
https://smapi.io/json/none/8bfca6ee98114559b46cb46a357f744b

Museum reward
https://smapi.io/json/none/806144f6b56f4bd89914cb4c6a45df7c

[valid folio]

Now it finally worked! I guess the wiki might be wrong because it shows it like this:
"Tag": "id_{{ModId}}_ShinyArtifact"

But my friend had it like this:
"Tag": "id_o_107" for the Dinosaur Egg ID.

So I copied it like this:
"Tag": "id_o_{{ModId}}_prehistoric_saplings"
and also like this:
"Tag": "id_o_{{ModId}}_prehistoric.saplings"

Neither of those worked. Then I tried:
"Tag": "id_{{ModId}}_prehistoric_saplings"

which is how it appears on the wiki, and that didn’t work either. I honestly don’t understand why it works now.

Thanks, as always, for your patience, Selph. I was about to give up on the idea, but then you showed up again and didn’t let me.

[brittle pasture]

congrats! yeah that is definitely an error on the wiki
at work now but I can fix it later unless someone beats me to it

[iron ridge]

are there any map properties that need only need the key to exist and the key can be empty?

[valid folio]

Ok, thank goodness. I was starting to think I was going crazy haha. Thanks to you for the help.

The whole thing turned out perfectly. I think that if I don’t find any more bugs in the real test playthrough I’m playing, I should be able to release the update and the complementary mod (the hybridization one) this weekend.

We’ll probably never really know what the actual problem was hahaha.

[gaunt orbit]

You mean the key to exist and the value to be empty?

TreatAsOutdoors and Outdoors are bool properties so I think they works that way

[uncut viper]

The value cant be empty though

Pretty sure they need some kind of value

[iron ridge]

looks like those values are just T

[sterile crescent]

finally got around to making that VoxBox Voice pack https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/42338 it's pretty barebones so far and only has vanilla characters but I plan on adding more NPCs soon!!! :D @tiny zealot

omg sent it twice 😭

[uncut viper]

they can be anything though, make sure you don't check just for T

[lucid iron]

(ghost ping )

[sterile crescent]

sorry i sent it twice 💔

[lucid iron]

Game has a hasmapproperty method which only checks for existence

[iron ridge]

mhm

[iron ridge]

ah good

[uncut viper]

i dont know if TMXTile will even load them if they dont have one at all though

dont have a value* at all

[lucid iron]

I guess one could go check how empty string behaves in tbin

[gaunt orbit]

I think it's distinguished in the file, but I'm not sure if xTile exposes it properly

xTile does weird things with properties

[merry river]

does anyone happen to know what is happening with my back tiles here? screenshot on the left is the map in tiled, screenshot on the right is in-game

[lucid iron]

The void...

You should use lookup anything to check what tile those black tiles are

Turn on tile lookup

If they are real tile ids then your tilesheet asset is wrong

[iron sky]

can a one crop harvest yield different items? for example, one cassava crop when harvested gives the player 1 cassava tuber and 1 cassava leaves?

can fruit trees do that too? for example, i want to when harvesting a banana tree can i get the banana fruit and banana leaves?

[calm nebula]

(a) yes with spacecore

(b) yes in general

[iron sky]

okay, tysm!!

[brittle pasture]

though not on the same date for (b)
it will be like the banana tree has 3 fruits, two are bananas and one is a leaf

[iron sky]

is it determined or random? like can i set it to
a.) always produce 2 bananas+1 leaves or 1 bananas+2 leaves, etc
b.) i'll never gonna know what i'm gonna get unil i harvest it could be 3 bananas or 3 leaves (rng dependant)

[brittle pasture]

can be either depending on how you set it up

but yeah to clarify: a fruit tree can add at most one fruit per day, this fruit can be either the banana or a leaf

[gaunt orbit]

Mutiple crop yields can also be done with Multi Yield Crops

Which has a less complicated format than spacecore iirc

[brittle pasture]

or Machine Terrain Framework which has more crop-related features and is more generally compatible with other mods that touch the harvest function (totally unbiased recommendation)

[iron sky]

ohh okayy

[gaunt orbit]

Oh I didn't know it had that! Yes I would absolutely recommend mtf

[brittle pasture]

I should really rename that thing to promote its crop behavior stuff

the MTF acronym tho

[iron sky]

okay i'll look into it when i'm gonna learn it

[iron sky]

amazing!!

[iron sky]

xD

[gaunt orbit]

[brittle pasture]

(and you will always see what's on the tree before you shake it)

[iron sky]

alright, thanks again!

[tiny zealot]

hmm i guess i should finish this mod at some point, huh

[merry river]

i am guessing those are real tiles, those black ones for indoor locations
i wonder how they got pushed down in game

[merry river]

the acronym is too powerful, would legit be sad if that changed

[inner harbor]

Got this Nexus message today. How exactly could they optimize a largely CP mod?

[hallow prism]

depends of the mod and how it patches things, it's not impossible, but i would say it's likely to not be very impactful

[tiny zealot]

depending on how the data is set up, it could be possible to combine patches to hot assets or change specific implementations (e.g. dynamic tokens are not great for perf). gains likely to be minimal (what lumina said)

[hallow prism]

it would be a tiny bit more on SVE because using even more old stuff/larger mod

(but imo the risk of creating bugs this way is greater than the gain short term)

[tiny zealot]

in general, i assume anyone saying "can you optimize this better" or "may i optimize this for you" without presenting specific things they would fix doesn't really know what they're talking about and probably won't succeed

[blissful panther]

Personally, I think I'd be saying a hard no way to them on that request unless they give the changes to me to make myself so it can just... be that way going forward.

[urban patrol]

@vernal crest is doing something similar with their mod list, so for example cursors doesn’t get reloaded 36975579 times

[blissful panther]

Because then you've got an "optimised" ES which is probably going to be more out of date, and since other mods depend on it... just sounds like a nightmare, and worse for people playing with it overall.

[hallow prism]

yeah i can't see myself allowing someone to upload a separate VMV and dealing with reports and stuff

[jaunty shuttle]

They could mean removing some features to make a light version of it. I’ve seen people do that before

[inner harbor]

Oh yes, definitely!

Also, i know mine aint perfect but i do feel like DTZ is the highest contributor to CPU heating.

I absolutely do not want anyobe uploading an entire replica of my mod for whatever reason.

(I also know nothing about this person).

[hallow prism]

i can't tell which mod would be the most affecting of performance, it's possible they made similar offer to other modders

if they have actual, relevant solutions it would be great to know

[inner harbor]

DtZ has the cars and a large amount of custom companions.

It would indeed be good to know how this person intends to optimize my mod indeed!

[blissful panther]

If you get an answer, I'd love a ping or DM or whatever, because I'm super curious.

[dire kestrel]

i'm (respectfully) wagering that they don't understand what they're talking about. people who approach authors in this manner are usually amateurish

[inner harbor]

After a brush with a scammer yesterday, i am highly suspicious of strangers today.

I suspect they intend to use AI.

They haven't posted the same thing on SVE or DTZ so now I'm a little offended.

[latent mauve]

Yeah, considering that they are using all three together, I would be skeptical that it's your mod and not the combination or one of the others causing the cpu strain anyway

[inner harbor]

Its a cumulative effect, i found when testing. Like every expansion mod added doubled load time.

(This was in 1.5 though)

ES copped the blame a bunch cos it was usually the third added, and thats the point the lag became super noticeable.

[unique tusk]

I'm trying to add in a new interactable map but something is going wrong and I have no idea what 😭

[urban patrol]

map path and map load target mismatch

[brittle pasture]

for JSON code you want to use smapi.io/json instead of smapi.io/log

(for future reference when uploading stuff)

[unique tusk]

I feel like I'm going crazy, these look the same to me 😭

[urban patrol]

was i looking at the wrong thing? hold on

it’s hard to see on the log site lol

[red egret]

If i write {{ModId}}, that will automatically always reach to my mod?

[urban patrol]

yeah no this is what you sent

            "FromFile": "assets/maps/Silver.Tree_Interior.tmx"
        },

make sure you’re updating the correct files in your mod folder

[unique tusk]

OH heck okay maybe I updated it quickly and then immediately forgot I did, sry my ADHD has me really scatterbrained 24/7 😭

[urban patrol]

no worries it helps to have a second set of eyes

[urban patrol]

in a json file inside a content pack for content patcher, yes

it doesn’t work inside tiled for example

[red egret]

ok ok ty

[unique tusk]

Hmmm even after fixing the mismatch it still says this when I try to warp to the new map?

I suspect maybe I messed up making it in Tiled cause a lotta the red says this 😵‍💫

[urban patrol]

check for red earlier in your log

[urban patrol]

this is likely an issue with tile data

but i’d need the full log

[ocean sail]

Log found, uploaded to: https://smapi.io/log/a6d988720a134127842ee7963329420b

[urban patrol]

yeah i think it’s tile data

object reference not set to an instance of an object might mean something is null when it shouldn’t be

[unique tusk]

I seee so I do have to fix the map itself :0

Tyyy!!!

[unique tusk]

Is there,,, any good guides on how to make a map for SDV in Tiled?

[ocean sail]

@unique tusk You leveled up to Cowpoke. You can now speak in our voice channels and share images in all channels!

[autumn tide]

ooh I think there's a command for this?

!tiled

[ocean sail]

If you want to make mods that add or edit maps:

1. Use Tiled to edit .tmx or .tbin files.

2. Refer to the Maps wiki page for details on how maps work in Stardew Valley.

3. Content Patcher allows you to create custom locations through editing Data/Locations

4. Vanilla Maps can be edited via Content Patcher as well: EditMap

To use this command, type !tiled.

[autumn tide]

YES

you're gonna wanna start out by unpacking your game, opening a vanilla map and seing how they do stuff

[unique tusk]

Yee! I'm using the Greenhouse map as a base but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to place a tile data to make the walls impassable

Also things keep loading in it,,,, weirdly

And I'm realizing I have no idea how to use Tiled 😭

[autumn tide]

oh shit I cannot help much here- but afaik all solid stuffs need to be on a tile layer called 'Buildings' (i fixed it bc I'm stupid)

[urban patrol]

things on the buildings layer are impassable. however greenhouse might not be the best cover for a base map because it’s special

[autumn tide]

(nic will correct me if I'm wrong LOL)

[urban patrol]

sadly you are lol

[autumn tide]

BUILDINGS

THATS WHAT ITS CALLED

[urban patrol]

the object layers are the pink counterparts to the normal blue layers that have tile data

[unique tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-reaction-michi-triste-crying-cat-reaction-sad-cat-hannicion-gif-17190162121303461099

Me, realizing I must essentially redraw the whole map now

My hubris truly was my undoing

[urban patrol]

you can continue using the greenhouse map if you want, but idk any detail about how it differs from other interior maps

[unique tusk]

"Oh joys" I said as I finished coding in the map I was then shot 52 times- /jk

[red egret]

I made a crop mod according to a tutorial and it doesnt appear in the game

[autumn tide]

hmm, send over your jsons?

[red egret]

oh wait i forgot to edit manifest

nah it shouldnt matter anyway, huh

ok i will send them

as files or over the io site?

[urban patrol]

the site is usually preferable

[red egret]

ok

[urban patrol]

btw @autumn tide if you want to learn how to help with maps most all information is on the maps wiki page. just bc i know you usually say you can’t help with them

[red egret]

your content.json doesn’t Include any of the following files

[red egret]

oh

okay

what did this do then?
"Target": "{{ModId}}/data/objects, {{ModId}}/data/crops, {{ModId}}/data/seeds",

[ornate locust]

I don

I don't think it did anything tbh?

[red egret]

why is it in the tutorial then?

this one https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:_Adding_a_New_Crop#Adding_Crop_Objects

[ornate locust]

Sorry, I meant anything about your includes, it just loads textures

[red egret]

i guess i have it all wrong

[urban patrol]

if you were trying to load them then i don’t think target without path is what you want

[ornate locust]

That first file just loads three images named Objects.png, crops.png, and seeds.png

It does not actually load your jsons

[pale river]

add this to your content json

{
      "LogName": "load the jsons",
      "Action": "Include",
      "FromFile": "(the jsons you didn't include)"
    }

[ornate locust]

Also do you HAVE images named objects.png, crops.png, and seeds.png?

[red egret]

i guess the textures should be like
"{{ModId}}/assets/objects
instead of data

[urban patrol]

with the file path, not just the file name

[red egret]

wrong folder

ok thanks

[red egret]

yes

[ornate locust]

Okay just checking, so that part should work then

and soup has you on how to load the data

[red egret]

thanks, i will try

I got a yellow error
[Content Patcher] Error loading patch 'Test-Berry Crops > Crops': file contains fields which aren't allowed for a secondary file (Format)..

[brittle pasture]

Format should only be set in the content.json file

every other imported file can exclude it

[red egret]

idk what that means

OH

the very top line

again this was taken from the tutorial T.T

[brittle pasture]

the tutorial presumably assumes you'll put everything in content.json

[red egret]

i had that thought but if i have 4 crops planned, it would get messy maybe so this is probably better

HOORAY they are spawnable

now to make them not a flower but a fruit

found it 🙂

[ornate locust]

The tutorial starts off with "be familiar with content patcher", I think it's making some assumptions

[unique tusk]

When you finally succeed at making the map but....

[red egret]

after so many mods i hoped i was familiar with CP

[unique tusk]

Praying this helps or else I might need to again pick a new map

[gaunt orbit]

Pretty sure that goes in location data and not map properties

[unique tusk]

What is location data

I stare longingly from the void

[gaunt orbit]

How are you making a new location if not with location data edits?

[unique tusk]

??? Do you mean???? the coding??? THIS???

[gaunt orbit]

Yeah that

[unique tusk]

[blissful panther]

I took that as more "what is life? " while your microwave refuses to work or something.

My MEEP test pack still doesn't have one of those...

[unique tusk]

Did I write this right?

[gaunt orbit]

I think so? You might need a comma.

[wraith bay]

heads up from the nexus mod authors discord:

A website bug has been discovered this evening (GMT) which is affecting tags on mod pages. If you save your mod "Details" page, all non-classification tags and tag votes may be lost. This has been flagged to our developers but as it's a Friday evening, it may take a bit of time before it's investigated.

In the meantime, if you can avoid editing your mod description, this should prevent the issue from occuring with your page. Any removed tags can be re-added, but the issue may re-occur each time the description is saved.

[unique tusk]

OKAY ITS WORKING EXCEPT THERE IS ONE ISSUE- somewhere somehow, there is a random place where if you walk there itll teleport you to the farm instead-

Im desperately trying to comb through the map to figure out where this warp is set and I deleted all the tile data to no luck 😭

[calm nebula]

Try the map properties

Also didnt u copy greenhouse

[unique tusk]

Nah I had to change to a diff map I changed it to the barn instead which may not have been my brightest idea

[unique tusk]

AH I THINK THAT WAS IT TY

[unique tusk]

I added another map but for some reason???? The viewport is just stuck here???? And I have no idea why 😭

[urban patrol]

check the map properties for a viewport clamp

[unique tusk]

I once again owe you my life

I jumpz with joyz as I marvel in Shadow Milk Cookies splendor :D

Now I must go draw his room so I can code in the final map

[fickle lichen]

question for smithy users; is there a way to change the name of the mod? like, i know you can do it manually in-game, but the old name still shows up in the files, so i wanted to know if there's a way to change the name of the folder without breaking anything?

can i do it manually? or does it break something

[lucid iron]

If you click on the pack, you can edit things like mod name and nexus id

The folder name is enforced though, but ofc it doesn't matter what you publish it as

[fickle lichen]

can i change this? or would it cause issues in the mod

the new name is Shigio's Little Trinkets

but it shows up as the old name

[lucid iron]

It would cause issues in the mod

[fickle lichen]

awh

alright ;_;

[lucid iron]

The mod id is enforced to remain same

If you want to change it then you would have to manually edit the folder and manifest

(as an aside i don't recommend calling a furniture mod "trinkets", because trinkets is a category of vanilla items)

[fickle lichen]

okii, thank you for telling me, i was very tempted to change it but now i know that i shouldn't do it lol

[fickle lichen]

ohh, i didn't know that?

sorry, english isn't my first language so i didn't know about that

😅

i just thought it sounded cute

hm, i'll see what i can change it to

[lucid iron]

Yeah trinkets in vanilla is like fairy box, frog egg, parrot egg etc

[fickle lichen]

would 'knicknacks' be a better word instead of trinkets?

[lucid iron]

Sure whatever makes sense

[fickle lichen]

alrighty!

[ornate locust]

Knicknack has real "lil thing I put on a shelf" vibes

[lucid iron]

Also if u were still doing separate textures I will recommend again to let smithy merge them

If u wished to rename mod anyways now is good chance

[fickle lichen]

yeaa that's because they're just tiny, random little things that you can place around lol

[lucid iron]

If u currently have something like this:

editing/input/tex1.png
editing/input/tex2.png

You can make folder named tex and do this instead

editing/input/tex/1.png
editing/input/tex/2.png

[ornate locust]

yee, that's a good word for em

[lucid iron]

And then smithy will make editing/input/tex.png for u, which can be used for all your furniture

[uncut viper]

everyone loves a good tchotchke or bric-a-brac

[fickle lichen]

i have a question; can i change this though? or is it the same as what i showed before (sorry, i'm a little slow in the whole modding topic lol)

[lucid iron]

This is the folder

[fickle lichen]

ah

[lucid iron]

So as mentioned you can only set the mod id on creation of a pack in smithy

[fickle lichen]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-thinking-gif-9694222

[lucid iron]

And the mod id is the folder name used for export

[fickle lichen]

hmmm

[lucid iron]

If you wish to change the mod id, then you choose one of 2 approaches

1. Just make new pack
2. Manually rename the folder and edit the manifest.json UniqueID field

Make sure u do 2 with game not running

[fickle lichen]

this is the correct path to the correct manifest, right?

[lucid iron]

Yeah that be the manifest file

(you should enable file name extensions btw)

[fickle lichen]

alrighty, so, from here do i edit the "UniqueID" part?

or it would cause issues?

[lucid iron]

Yeah that's exactly what I instructed

[fickle lichen]

good!

[lucid iron]

Change the one that says Shigio.modname

[fickle lichen]

thank you very much for helping me and being patient, i think other people would have crashed out with how slow i am with the modding topic 😅

[fickle lichen]

okayyy

[lucid iron]

You gotta remember that at worst you mess up this file and then have to undo your changes

It's not going to explode your computer lol

Be adventurous and experiment first then ask if it explodes

[fickle lichen]

hmmmmm apparently it worked but i got this little message, should i just close the game and re-open it?

[golden basin]

@brittle pasture so in animal configs i have a customm feeding plate that is placed like a rug. and when ppl put down multiple the auto feeder feature in the building only fills one f the feeding plates. is there a way to fix this?

[lucid iron]

Did you do all your changes while game is off

[fickle lichen]

yes

also i just did what i mentioned and i get the same message

[lucid iron]

I think you messed up then

[fickle lichen]

damn

[lucid iron]

The folder name absolutely have to be the same as the UniqueID

Something else you can do is to make a new pack via smithy, close game, copy everything except for manifest.json from old pack to new pack

[fickle lichen]

is this how it should look like?

[fickle lichen]

i think i'm gonna try that

the way to delete the first pack is to delete the folder, right?

[brittle pasture]

is it using the MMAP feature for tile properties on the rug?
that's strange; it should fill every tile if my understanding is correct

[golden basin]

its using space core

could that be the reason

[brittle pasture]

no, it should work the same methinks

[golden basin]

hmmmm very weird, i know i had ask if it would be possible to make a sort of feed dispenser? to remedy this issue before but with the auto feed feature it was said to be redundant

[lucid iron]

If u use spacecore u need to do every tile

Cus it's by coordinates

[golden basin]

every tile?

what do you mean?

[lucid iron]

Yeah

Oh actually you are windows right

[fickle lichen]

yup, i'm on windows 10

[lucid iron]

Go delete the folder called StardewModSmithy.Staging

[fickle lichen]

okayy

[lucid iron]

That is special windows specific jank lol

[brittle pasture]

so to clarify do you mean the autofeeder only fills one slot of the feeder or only fills one feeder period

[golden basin]

i tonly fills one feeding plate all the others stay empty

[brittle pasture]

and it uses the vanilla Trough property?

[golden basin]

"Action":"EditData",
"Target":"spacechase0.SpaceCore/FurnitureExtensionData",
"Entries":
{
"{{ModID}}_FeedRug":
{
"TileProperties": {
"0,0": {
"Back": {
"selph.ExtraAnimalConfig.CustomTrough": "(O)684"
}
}
}
}
}
},```

looks like this

[lucid iron]

Your rug is 1x1 right

[golden basin]

yes

[lucid iron]

Ok then disregard the all coordinates question

[golden basin]

it uses your property

does cusotm feed not use the auto feed feature normally

i didnt even think of that

[brittle pasture]

no, I have at least a couple mods using custom feed and they all work normally (with map tiles, not furniture)

maybe you can send your mod over so I can try to reproduce

[golden basin]

yeah i can do that

[golden basin]

so you need to be a level 6 farmer to unlock the animals. the feeding plate is for the movorapators and they eat bug meat

[brittle pasture]

thanks, I'll look

[golden basin]

sorry if my mod is a mess im bad a originizing

omg wait would the silo for the bug meat being empty affect it

and if i have a custom silo would it pull from it automatcally

[fickle lichen]

alright so, after a goooooooood while of experimenting, i decided to just delete the old pack and make a new one, this time with the confirmed name

also, thank you for helping me!

[brittle pasture]

yeah I cannot reproduce
did you ensure that you have all the bug meat in your silos

yes autofeed pulls from silos, and if the silo is empty it doesn't pull anything

[golden basin]

you have the bug meat silo>?

[brittle pasture]

yes

[golden basin]

omg

[golden basin]

ill tell the ppl on my mod comments about this cause theyve been blowin it up

[brittle pasture]

yeah once you fill the silo you can pull both bug meat and hay from the hopper on the top left

[golden basin]

but what about the custom hopper is it not needed>

[brittle pasture]

you can use that too, but the custom hopper feature was written before I patched the vanilla hopper to work with custom feed as well

[golden basin]

will the auto feed not work with this the custom hopper cause my barn doesnt have it

[brittle pasture]

no need, autofeeding is a property on the building map

[golden basin]

hmm its still not working for me actually

[brittle pasture]

what's the code on your custom building?

[golden basin]

its just the barn

[brittle pasture]

a deluxe barn right

[golden basin]

yeah im pretty sure let me double check

[golden basin]

its a deleuxxe barn but it was missing a default hopper....

[brittle pasture]

I wonder if it's mod interference, because on my minimal modlist everything works perfectly as far as I'm aware

[golden basin]

i even build a new deluxe barn and its still not working

[brittle pasture]

so you

• built a deluxe barn and put down a few meat troughs
• built a bug meat silo and filled it with meat
• went to bed
  and it's not populating when waking up?

[golden basin]

yeep thats what im doing no bug meat is being filled in the troughs

[brittle pasture]

can you test with just your mod and the required deps

[golden basin]

sure let me do that

[golden basin]

IT WORKED

so its a conflict

[brittle pasture]

hmm
feel free to send your log from your regular save over; good chance it's the same mod causing problems for your commenter

if you can do 50/50 and isolate the exact mod causing it I'd also greatly appreciate it, but I understand if it's a lot of work

[golden basin]

currently doing it atually

[golden basin]

you wont beleive which mod it is

Misc Map Actions Properties

[autumn tide]

HUH

how could MMAP

[golden basin]

i know!!!

[autumn tide]

it's insane-

[uncut viper]

Well... I always knew Selph and Chu would have to fight it out for modding dominance eventually...

[autumn tide]

[brittle pasture]

alas, I'll go prepare my revolver and we can duel under the high noon

[golden basin]

lmfao XD

i hope it gets fixed though

[autumn tide]

I'll get the instruments ready for the suspense music

[brittle pasture]

seriously though, I wonder how this can happen; is MMAP's furniture tile thing overriding SpaceCore's furniture tile thing

[golden basin]

that could be it

should i like @ chu or???

i dont wanna annoy them actually imma hide

[uncut viper]

@lucid iron terrible crimes

[golden basin]

crawls under a rock

[brittle pasture]

I enabled just MMAP on my test save and it still works

[uncut viper]

(Recompense for all the times chu has tried to scope creep me)

[golden basin]

not for me!!!

i slept and everything

[brittle pasture]

wonder does it only happen if there's a MMAP mod that uses the feature

what even is one I can pull though I'm unfortunately not a furniture mod installer person

[golden basin]

i actually dont have any mods that use it right now its just in there from a different mod i was testing

[brittle pasture]

nvm I just reproed

[golden basin]

reproed?

[brittle pasture]

short for reproduce

[golden basin]

oooooo i see

hell yeah

[patent lance]

New quote added by atravita as #7332 (https://discordapp.com/channels/137344473976799233/156109690059751424/1472046368230080595)

[brittle pasture]

ok I can't reproduce anymore, but with MMAP installed I get booted back to the farmhouse if I sleep in the barn

[golden basin]

so is it mmap causing the issue?

[brittle pasture]

so I for some reason can't reproduce anymore, but I suspect that it's the tile property optimization feature that's causing it. try disabling it in the configs before the game starts and see if it happens
https://github.com/Mushymato/MiscMapActionsProperties/blob/main/README.md#config-enable_doestilehaveproperty_optimization

[golden basin]

ill try that

[lucid iron]

crimes

oh yea i always expected that to blow up one day

[golden basin]

YEP that fixed it

[lucid iron]

hence the config

[golden basin]

setting it to false fixes the issue

[lucid iron]

but if u disable it ppl's big furniture land struggle™

[golden basin]

is there a way to fix the conflict though?

[lucid iron]

well its prob something i fix

since i am the one changing how doestilehaveproperty works

but i dont actually understand how it is borked rn

[brittle pasture]

and I stopped being able to reproduce the issue at all...

[lucid iron]

oh clown are u on 1.6.16 alpha

[golden basin]

nope

should i be

[lucid iron]

well probably not, cus this transpiler is borked on 1.6.16 alpha

https://github.com/Mushymato/MiscMapActionsProperties/blob/main/MiscMapActionsProperties/Framework/Wheels/Optimization.cs

[golden basin]

transpiler?

[lucid iron]

the intent here is to replace the very slow foreach (Furniture item in furniture) and instead use a point -> furniture cache

to not look at every single furniture that ever furnitured

[brittle pasture]

so when I was still reproducing it sleeping in a bed in the barn would kick me back to the farmhouse (possibly the bed's sleep property was gone as well)

[lucid iron]

oh maybe the furniture cache isn't built?

[golden basin]

so for now do i just tell ppl to switch the config to false to fix the auto feeder??

[lucid iron]

https://github.com/Mushymato/MiscMapActionsProperties/blob/main/MiscMapActionsProperties/Framework/Wheels/CommonPatch.cs#L179

idk how tho

[brittle pasture]

yep
ok I think I got a repro step with just vanilla:

• put a bed in a barn or any non-instanced locations
• go to sleep, you should wake up in the barn
• immediately exit the game and reload
• you would now wake up in the farmhouse

[lucid iron]

but yea i will look at it tmr to see what is wrong

[golden basin]

i could always just use mmap, can i make my feeding plates using mmap?

[lucid iron]

i suppose so but i dont think it'd make a difference

[golden basin]

ah dang it

[lucid iron]

this bit of code doesn't do anything special for mmap furniture properties

[golden basin]

i was trying to spare you the trouble of fixing things

[lucid iron]

at best u could try having a path as a trough?

shrug

[golden basin]

path?

[brittle pasture]

actually I just used a fresh save and it seems you don't even need the exit/reload step

[golden basin]

hmmm could that actually work though

[lucid iron]

i have to fix things no matter what so dw about it

[golden basin]

can i make a path into a trough cause that would be sort of awesome

[brittle pasture]

(and thanks chu for looking into this)

[lucid iron]

yea mmap has feature to add tile properties to paths, as in cobblestone path

so u could make a trough "path" maybe

[golden basin]

is there written examples?

[lucid iron]

https://github.com/Mushymato/MiscMapActionsProperties/blob/main/[FullMod]/[CP] Firefly Paths/assets/props.json

this one is light props, same concept tho

[golden basin]

hmmm now i just....need to learn how to make paths

[lucid iron]

https://github.com/Mushymato/MiscMapActionsProperties/blob/main/[FullMod]/[CP] Firefly Paths/assets/floor.json

[golden basin]

thank you !

[lucid iron]

tbh i am still kind of confuse about what is not happening

cus if it was "doesTileHaveProperty no work with transpiler on" wouldn't every trough fail?

[brittle pasture]

maybe some of them managed to get on the cache?

hand placing still works apparently

[lucid iron]

is furniture tile locations like, wrong until save is loaded...

hm ok i think i comprehended something i was missing you were testing with the bed property?

not the trough

[brittle pasture]

I tested with a furniture bed yes

[lucid iron]

why is farmer briefly back in Farm...

well i think it's prob cus i made assumption that i'd only need to cache for 1 location at a time

[golden basin]

it WORKS

floor paths are so much cooler then single paltes

plates*

YESSSSSSSS

[lucid iron]

did u have the option in mmap True for this

@brittle pasture @golden basin https://github.com/Mushymato/MiscMapActionsProperties/releases/tag/1.13.1 i fixed it i think

[golden basin]

it was set to true!!!

what was the issue though

[brittle pasture]

speed

(not the answer to your question I should clarify)

[lucid iron]

this

prev

• there was 1 perscreen static cache point -> furniture
• it gets nulled whenever player change location so that it's rebuilt on demand
  new
• the cache got moved into the location watcher i had for other reasons, so there is now one cache for watched location

[unique tusk]

I revisited an old event I did (and it was working before) but now on this specific part the farmer gets stuck endlessly walking in place??? Idk why either cause I havent rly changed anything besides adding some more maps????

[brave fable]

using advancedMove, i assume?

[unique tusk]

Nope, normal move, this is what the coding looks like for the specific part where the farmer gets stuck walking in place

I added the pause in hopes it would fix it but it does not-

My only other guess is the place where the farmer is getting stuck is where the new warp is? But Idk how to fix that so Im rly hoping its not that 😭

[unique tusk]

I FIXED IT it was the new warp

[brave fable]

happy to be of service 🙂‍↕️

[unique tusk]

[dawn ore]

When adding a customer character and having them be the person giving a special order, how do i make their little icon appear on the board?
I looked at the code for SVE and I can see they get added to the emojis tilesheet, but how does the game know which one is which? I have a little sprite saved that is 9x9 pixels, which seems to be the dimenstions, i just need to link it into the game somehow

[ornate locust]

I think that requires C#

[dawn ore]

Ah really? bummer

I couldn't see anything one way or the other on the wiki

[ornate locust]

the name list they are tied to is hardcoded apparently, so you gotta C# it

[dawn ore]

what's the property/key word i should search in something like SVE's source code to find it?

ah i found it: https://github.com/FlashShifter/StardewValleyExpanded/blob/7481ed586043802876d047d09aeaa3a6b7834858/Stardew Valley Expanded/StardewValleyExpanded/SpecialOrderNPCIcons.cs

[lucid iron]

If you don't mind some hacks you could use Baby

[dawn ore]

say more?

as i am trying to keep this mod fully CP based, no C#

[ornate locust]

I'd love to have that one dehardcoded in one of the next patches

[dawn ore]

ah, I've figured out what you mean by 'Baby', you can overwrite one of these sprites:
are any of them fully unused?

If I make it baby as suggested, will that break anything else?

[ornate locust]

A baby probably isn't used, but I don't know if any other mod does the same thing either

Just a potential compatibility thing. Other than that, the baby ones are definitely not used for special orders

[uncut viper]

Well none of the characters are fully unused at all. They're used for emojis. Depends how much you care about multiplayer.

[ornate locust]

ohhh emojis

[dawn ore]

I have never actually used emojis in mltiplayer, how are they used their?

[uncut viper]

Chatting.

Just in the text box.

[dawn ore]

like you type :baby: or something and it becomes that icon?

[uncut viper]

No, you select them from a menu or type their ID number.

[dawn ore]

oh yeah, i can see that in game. I had never noticed that before huh

[broken yew]

can a villager/NPC arrived in town by a heart event?

I look over online by i can't find a mod or anything similar to it

[brave fable]

yep, simple as in the Data/Characters entry you can set their UnlockCondition value to a game state query like PLAYER_HAS_MAIL Host {{ModId}}_MyFunnyMailId

it's best to set the mail on the host player so all players in multiplayer will resolve the condition with the same value

in order to set the mail on the host player specifically you'll likely want to add a new trigger action, which you can invoke from your event with the action {{ModId}}_MyCoolAction command in the event script:
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Trigger_actions

[inner harbor]

There are some mods that have the c# built in. i add them with east scarp.

[broken yew]

i am still a beginner. is mail important?

[hard fern]

only if you want your npc to send mail to the player

(mail can also be used to set flags, so if you want to have a "trigger" for events they can be useful there too)

[broken yew]

really?

[hard fern]

yeah

[hard fern]

and yeah, you can do something like this. in fact you might be able to use mail flags for this 🤔

i actually have a NPC made in the game but i am still working the code since this is my first time coding

This is really helpful

Thank you

[dawn ore]

hello, id like to add a bunch of dialog to existing NPCs, but not overwrite existing dialog and make sure I don't clash with other mods.

heres what I've got so far:

            "Action": "EditData",
            "Target": "Characters/Dialogue/Harvey",
            "TextOperations": [
                {
                    "Operation": "Append",
                    "Target": ["Entries", "Thu"],
                    "Value": "||The air is so much cleaner now!$h",
                    "Delimiter": "||"
                }
            ],
            "When": {
                "HasFlag": "KlyJuly.RenewableValley_GridUnlocked"
            }
        },

What am i missing?

[analog yacht]

Hi. Im currently thinking about doing a gun mod. It should be possible thanks to the cross bow framework. Right ?

[analog yacht]

Other question. Is it possible to let everything in the game run slower but the character is the same. So slowing time down for example npcs ?

If yes a flash mod should be possible right ?

[fossil osprey]

That sounds complicated
Your best bet would be to manually slow down npc/monsters in an area of effect, I think

[lucid mulch]

multiplayer time mods that can pause all npcs dont pause players.
so doing that but constantly pausing and unpausing at whatever slowdown frequency you want would achieve the same outcome

[old edge]

if anyone can help me improve on it. I am making a pocket watch with alarm

[versed wyvern]

It looks like what you've written here is trying to add | | twice, as delimiters for Append operations add the specified text and you already wrote | | in the value?
Also, rather than turning an existing line into a weekly alternating dialogue reacting to something like the air, perhaps you'd want to set up a conversation topic instead so they can react to the event only after it happens and not for perpetuity?

[dawn ore]

thanks, I did actually figure out through trial and error that removing the first || helped, so it's working now.

TBH i wanted to do conversation topics but got a bit intimidated reading about them so stuck with this for now

[pale river]

how do I add a prioritized dialogue to the dialogue queue using c#? I think it has something to do with dialoguebox but I don't really know how

[gentle rose]

you shouldn't usually be adding dialogue directly to the dialoguebox iirc - I think NPCs actually have a somewhat complicated "queued up dialogue" system you can check though

[golden basin]

can i create a animal cracker type thing for my carnivore animals???

is there a mod for that

[merry river]

Does anyone have an example for a quest with the Basictype?

[golden basin]

@brittle pasture hey selphhhhh is there a way to make custom animal treats like the animal cracker?

itd be cool you could have like a option for it like if i want a fruit to take the place of the animal cracker maybe i could just list it in the AnimalExtensionData

[pale river]

😔 ohhh yeah it's pretty complicated, thanks iro

[lucid iron]

you just push it onto npc.TemporaryDialogue

[rough summit]

Hi, does anyone know if this seedfinder still works with the current game version? https://github.com/Underscore76/SeedFinding/

[lucid iron]

there is npc._PushTemporaryDialogue for ref

[pale river]

thank you so much 💖 it's for the social quest thing, so would it take priority over others? Or would CTs and other things take priority over it too?

thanks so much I was looking at dialogue.cs

[lucid iron]

for the social quest thing i'd just use actual CT

[pale river]

how about the transform/shapeshifting axl thing from like a month ago if you remember?

[lucid iron]

temporary dialogue is same kind of thing as schedule strings

if u want to just use particular key, then NPC.setNewDialogue is what i'd use

[pale river]

thanks so much for your thoughtfulness; that's what I was thinking of doing but I couldn't find/figure out the code for the schedule strings and such

[lucid iron]

doing it to all NPC player arrives at location is convenient yes

BETAS actually has a action that indeed just set dialogue of npc to a key

[manic temple]

A mod where the arcade games were easier, good or bad idea? (please dont steal)

[pale river]

editing the arcade games doesn't sound like a beginner mod

[manic temple]

someone said he wanted to get Prairie king achievement

[manic temple]

hmm still I could try it if I fail I'll do research till I succeed

[pale river]

you could ask in #modded-stardew if anyone has any recommendations for mods like those

[pale river]

!startmodding

[ocean sail]

Making mods can be broadly divided into two categories:

• Content packs are formatted text files, and don't need any programming knowledge. They can add/edit NPCs, maps, new items, shops, and more. To get started, see the list of framework mods, the wiki tutorial for Content Patcher, and there might be relevant guides on the tutorial wiki.
• C# mods use programming code to change fundamental game mechanics. See getting started with C# modding.

Usually it’s easier to start with making content packs, since you don't need to learn programming.

To use this command, type !startmodding.

[uncut viper]

Being all self contained IMinigames, they actually are not bad to mod, but you'll likely need transpilers

[pale river]

you'd want to look at the c# section

[manic temple]

I looked up arcade and minigames on Nexus and saw nothing so the idea seems new

[pale river]

you'd also want to decompile the game's code to see what to edit in the IMinigame.cs

[uncut viper]

(You also might not though, can probably do a decent bit by changing things in an update postfix as well if necessary)

The idea isn't new, but don't take that to mean you shouldn't do it

Your specific ideas are (likely) new. Two cakes and all

[pale river]

!decompile

[ocean sail]

If you want to make SMAPI mods with C#, one important resource is decompiling the game to read the game code. Here's how to do it: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/Get_Started#How_do_I_decompile_the_game_code.3F

To use this command, type !decompile.

[manic temple]

thanks for the help

[merry river]

oh i might look into that! (and add the millionth dependency)

[merry river]

okay I should clarify the reason I asked this: how do I manually decide when the quest is complete? are there Tractions for that?

[golden basin]

you can trigger action the quest to end throughn dialogue, events or mail

are you wanting to end the quest during a event?

[uncut viper]

There is a RemoveQuest trigger action yes

And in 1.6.16 there will be a CompleteQuest traction (BETAS also has this one itself if you want it now)

[golden basin]

is there a way to make custom animal treats

[lucid iron]

Not in vanilla

You can do animal husbandry integration though

[golden basin]

nah thats not really what i wanna do cause then id need tomake animal meat of my animals and that makes me uncomfortable

[lucid iron]

Can AH drop other things when u use wand

I dunno

But I guess another approach is to just optionally retexture the golden animal cracker

Just 4 fun

[abstract moat]

anyone know why my custom NPC keeps trying to load Portraits from base game instead of mods folder? I've tried to fix this for hours, tried checking against a couple NPC creation guides + working NPC mods and I just can't figure it out

[lucid iron]

All NPCs use Portrait/<npc internal name> by default unless you set texturename and or appearances

You should be loading a texture to the path

[abstract moat]

I do have Appearance but not texture, I'll try that next thanks!

[red egret]

does a crop template HAVE to be 8 tiles wide?

i cant get my crops show up in game except the first one

[unborn shadow]

Hello! I wonder if it is possible to trigger a follow-up mail a few days (e.g. 5 days later) after the event ends, rather than the very next morning. My NPCs discuss planting flowers with the farmer, so receiving a 'the flowers have bloomed' mail the next day feels too rushed. Is there a way to implement a delayed mail with CP? Or should I use other modder utilities?

[royal stump]

I'm not sure exactly how long they need to be, but judging by the phrasing for SpriteIndex here, you do need to put each crop on a separate vertical row
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Crop_data

[red egret]

i have that, each occupies 8x2 tiles but 2 more tiles are extra, so it is easier to write the indexes, like 20, 40, 60

[royal stump]

I don't think that's relevant to a crop texture? the second row is 1, the third is 2, etc, in this case

unless you need to reference them in different data, anyway

[red egret]

it says even optional but then idk

[royal stump]

it's hard to tell w/o tracing the whole thing, but the sheets might care about being the right width (either 128px total or per crop index), so I'd stick to the template

[red egret]

okay

[royal stump]

it's a bit complicated, but I think you can do something like this for a custom delay timer

"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Data/TriggerActions",
"Entries": {
    "{{ModId}}_SendDelayedMail": {
        "Id": "{{ModId}}_SendDelayedMail",
        "Trigger": "DayEnding",
        /* if the player saw the event... */
        "Condition": "PLAYER_HAS_SEEN_EVENT Current Your_Event_ID",
        "Actions": [
            /* increase a counter by 1 */
            "IncrementStat {{ModId}}_SendDelayedMailCounter 1",
            /* if the counter is 5 or more, send the delayed mail */
            "If PLAYER_STAT Current {{ModId}}_SendDelayedMailCounter 5 ## AddMail Current Your_Delayed_Flag"
        ],
        /* if the player has the delayed mail, disable this trigger action */
        "SkipPermanentlyCondition": "PLAYER_HAS_MAIL Current Your_Delayed_Flag"
    }
}```
(edit to use seen_event instead of another mail flag)

[unborn shadow]

It does seem a bit complicated but still doable, I'll give it a try, thanks!🥹

[opaque field]

I want to make a farm map with a busted coop that you can fix for half the material cost of buying a new one, is that doable with CP?

[royal stump]

afaik no, that'd take a new framework feature or changes in 1.7
you can add a new non-functional building, and spacecore (+ possibly other frameworks) can spawn buildings on new farms, but building upgrades can only specify one precursor building type

[opaque field]

Hmm. That makes sense since the only other farm that has something like that is SVE

[royal stump]

e.g. Big Coop just has "BuildingToUpgrade": "Coop",

fixing up a static map area like SVE is possible, just not the literal building system

[somber kernel]

You could do something like this but it not being the OG coop. Tho I think that’ll be some additional coding haha

[royal stump]

or rather, making it into an existing building type like Big Coop would be the issue

[opaque field]

Hmmmm. Okie, ty!

[royal stump]

(setting an upgrade on "Coop" would also make it unable to place by itself)

[brittle pasture]

Buildings Included allows you to place buildings after the fact, then you can specify a quest chain or custom bundles with Unlockable Bundles to trigger the placement

[opaque field]

Omg THANK YOU

[brittle pasture]

no, and I'm not sure if that's something I can/would add for now
I see that Animal Husbandry was mentioned, and you don't have to make your animals butcherable even with AH; it's also more than just a framework though and probably not something you want a hard dependency on

[golden basin]

thats okay i understand

[analog yacht]

If I add new iteams how does it work with the iteam id? How do I know that no other mods use this id

[fossil osprey]

It's a good practice to prefix anything you add with your mod's internal name

[lucid iron]

All mods must have a UniqueID that doesn't conflict with any other mod in the list to load

So if you have Hollow.CoolMod_Thing it won't conflict with chu.FancyMod_Thing

In content patcher you can use {{ModId}} to get your modid

Without having to write it out

[analog yacht]

So like Hollow.CoolMod_Thing_ID5

[fossil osprey]

It's more like, for example, if you add a "butter" item, internally you'll call it something like "Hollow.MyCoolMod_Butter"

And define it's display name as just "butter"

[analog yacht]

Ahhh. Ok thank you both

[lucid iron]

Yeah u just need {{ModId}}_whatever if u r in content parcher

[analog yacht]

Currently working on a majors mask mod. In the game there is a mask which makes you bigger. Is this possible ?

The plan would be to increase to char

[lucid iron]

C#

You can do anything in C# and for this specific thing it's farmerrenderer

[analog yacht]

Thanks

Would it make problems with hitboxes and doors ?

I think yes

[lucid iron]

That's a question you must answer with how you implement this

[hallow prism]

does someone has an example of a target edit of a npc appearance?

i hate figuring target field again 😄

thanks a lot 🙂

Hi all!
I’ve built an expansion mod that brings clean energy to Pelican Town.
It adds a new NPC, James the Electrical Engineer, and via a series of special order quests you add an electrical substation behind the community center, rooftop solar panels across town, construct a wind farm in the mountains and make the bus to the desert electric. It also adds an electric furnace that doesn’t need coal, and each energy upgrade makes your electric machines faster based on weather conditions, as well as a few other small quests. I've included an image of the wind farm 🙂
It's nearly ready for release, I’m just doing compatibility testing and finishing touches.

I’m trying to decide on a name and would love your input!
My working title was Renewable Energy Valley, but I’m also considering Renewable Energy Pelican Town, or something else. What do you think would help convey the idea most effectively and help to get people interested? (I'm not good at marketing haha!)

[fickle thicket]

What about something like “Sustainable Valley”? Or does it have to focus on the renewable energy part specifically?

And that looks great, by the way

[analog yacht]

Hi. Can anyone please tell me what to do pls. Wanted to build a DLL and that error poped up

0>Pathoschild.Stardew.ModBuildConfig.targets(75,5): Error : The mod build package found a game folder at /Applications/Stardew Valley.app/Contents/MacOS, but it doesn't contain the Stardew Valley file. If this folder is invalid, delete it and the package will autodetect another game install path.

[dawn ore]

The mod is focused on renewable energy (electric upgrades, solar, wind, batteries) but I'm open to names with the word 'Sustainability' in it if people think it would get the idea across better.

[royal stump]

You might just need to do what it says there: if /Applications/Stardew Valley.app/Contents/MacOS is just an empty folder, delete it, then try again.
If not, you could try the "Detect game path" instructions here:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Pathoschild.Stardew.ModBuildConfig#detect-game-path

[analog yacht]

Got it with adding the gamepath on the csproj now it works.

But now there is my name there. So I should fix it with an nother method

[analog yacht]

Nop. Just looked. Its not empthy

[royal stump]

Then either it's missing some game files, or they're in a different folder, so you'll need to find them and set the game path in your project

(someone who actually mods on mac might have better advice, though)

[analog yacht]

Hm. Let me just re download the game

Wait. Do i need to redownload smapi

[royal stump]

you may as well, but I don't think it's related to the error

[analog yacht]

Jep. No fix

Hm

But thanks

[royal stump]

if the game runs at all, the "Stardew Valley" file should exist somewhere, so you can still try the GamePath thing
unless that is in the folder it mentioned already

[pale river]

Green Energy Valley

[pale river]

what IDE are you using

[analog yacht]

Rider

[pale river]

https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/C-Sharp_Modding_on_MacOS here's a tutorial on rider

[analog yacht]

Thanks

[pale river]

if it still says it can't find the game then you'll have to make a stardew.targets file

you'd put this in your users folder, and edit it to your gamepath

Carbon Neutrality in the Valley/Carbon Neutrality Valley

Oops I sent that too early by accident. I also like Renewable Energy Valley! It gets the point across quickly

[old edge]

My pocket watch alarm mod seems to be working well enough. Is farming +1 foraging +1 good for when the alarm is off and when the alarm is on it adds those and speed +1 and luck +1 or is that too much?

So when it’s on it would have 4 effects

It also chimes when the alarm goes off

[golden basin]

Ppl can fudge that easily

Do you set your own alarm

[old edge]

Yes I made it so you can set the alarm to go off whenever the farmer wants

I wonder if I can add different watch faces with unique time piece features

[golden basin]

If ppl set it for short intervals will the effects stack

[unborn shadow]

Hi! I'm writing an event for two NPCs visiting the farmhouse. I've defined different initial coordinates for each in the event header, but they keep spawning on top of each other at the default 'farmer front' tile.😅 Is there a way to force-spawn them at specific tiles, or is the Farm map hardcoded to snap NPCs to a specific spot during events?

[golden basin]

It's very hard coded

[merry river]

farm evil

[ornate locust]

Nexus has an annoying thing where it only searches titles unless you take more steps than most people know to take, so you'll probably want a little SEO in your title either way. Like Your Title Here - Custom NPC or something like that

(one day Nexus will search descriptions as well by default...)

Fun names just don't trip the search engine unfortunately

so we get anime-ass titles like "Sustainable Pelican Town - Custom NPC and Clean Energy Solutions"

[unborn shadow]

Alright then I'll have to modify my scripts 🥲 thank you!🌷

[golden basin]

uhoh

how do i report

[cedar turtle]

on it

[golden basin]

hell yeah thank you

[cedar turtle]

right click (tap and hold on mobile) > apps > report btw.

And thanks y'all for the report

[hallow prism]

sure!

[old edge]

You can set it once then it chimes at the set alarm time. So far added some options to choose the chime sound. The buffs stack only when the alarm is on. It adds the speed and luck. When it’s off only has farming and foraging effect +1. Is this too power for one pocket watch?

[calm nebula]

Start the event with thr camera off screen. Make one npc move over one tile

It's very hardcoded

[final arch]

if you warp them as first command nobody will see it probably

[old edge]

need to fix the ui

[hard fern]

farmhouse tiles

then maybe try towninteriors?

not sure which beans exactly you're talking about but

towninteriors

and check towninteriors 2 too

[still patio]

[hard fern]

i dunno... for funsies....

[analog yacht]

[hallow prism]

you need to provide context about the mod you're making

[fresh tree]

Hey guys....To make a cutscene work in a custom house, do I need to create some kind of path or something like that?

[hallow prism]

yes kinda

you need to load a blank asset of event for the area (if it's yours)

[analog yacht]

Working on a mod wich adds masks from Majoras mask.

Im using C# and Content patcher. The mod gets loaded

[hallow prism]

i prefer no pings

!json

[ocean sail]

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.

[analog yacht]

Ups. Sorry.

[fresh tree]

I did it, but when the NPC walks around the house, she simply runs into the void.

[analog yacht]

But. What’s the problem know ?

Is it the json?

[hallow prism]

then if the event triggers but there's issue, the issue is with the cutscene code
i suggest providing the json

so someone can see if there's obvious issues

[fresh tree]

Ok

[hallow prism]

how do you expect me to know without the info?

[fresh tree]

I'm just going to grab a bite to eat and turn on the PC.

[analog yacht]

What infos do you need ?

[fresh tree]

How is your code written? That's why she asked for the JSON.

Hi! I want to lock my NPCs' house entirely every Friday since they'll be out of town (using 0 schedules). Can I achieve this by using EditMap with a when condition to overwrite the LockedDoorWarp property? Or is there a better way to trigger a 'closed' state for the whole day?

[hallow prism]

i think you can try the overwrite approach (or just patch the lockeddoorwarp property on non friday with CP)

i don't know of a better approach
