Have you ever wanted to live in a cave? Or perhaps, take a cave nap? Well now you can without Harvey charging you. This mod adds a sea cave in a second large rock off the east pier.

Sea Cave

This mod adds a sea cave in a second large rock off the east pier. You MUST fix the wooden bridge, or have the no clip mod, or swim mod to access this location.

thank you 🫶

#

So, basically, if I want to make sure it doesn’t extend beyond the toolbar, the solution is—I guess I just have to switch to a different weapon to replace its sprite?

Yeah dknt use a dagger

#

Or tbh make your own weapon

Why are daggers like this

#

is it possible to have PerItemCondition check for several conditions? e.g. "PerItemCondition": "ITEM_CONTEXT_TAG Target EXAMPLE_1, !ITEM_CONTEXT_TAG Target EXAMPLE_2"

proven spindle
#

Though it's 'either' not 'all of these', not sure if that's what you're looking for

merry river
#

my idea was to check for all items with that specific tag except for the ones that have the first tag but another that excludes them

proven spindle
#

If it's 'all of these', I'd assume what you posted would work but I haven't tried it

merry river
#

more specifically, I have mushroom_item but I need to exclude some of the mushrooms

brittle pasture
#

[[Modding:Game state queries]] you can list several conditions separated by commas, and they will be evaluated as AND

empty radishBOT
brittle pasture
#

your initial code should work

merry river
#

thank you! I wasn't sure if the same applied to the PerItemCondition field SDVpufferheart

Hi hi, I’m trying to make a game state query that specifically checks if the bridge to the quarry is available but I cannot seem to figure out what to put in for it. Is there an event trigger? I swear I’ve looked the wiki up and down and I’m simply not seeing it. Thanks!

Hey all, wondering if I could get an opinion. I'm thinking about making a reddit post about my mod, but still have to add in a letter you receive after winter's over. I'll probably fix that in a few days, (maybe even later today) and since only will happen 5-4 weeks after my npc, I'm assuming most people wont get to that point immediately anyway. Do newly added letters from updates send if players update the mod if the conditions were met for it to show up earlier (before it existed)?

#

I think I'll just make the posts, and hope for the best.

brittle pasture
fierce vault
#

If I get it done quickly enough anyway, it shouldn't really affect anyone playing normally

brittle pasture

it's listed on the mails page

#

Here I am again… I was wondering if it’s possible to craft a sword with the Dagger ability using only the Content Patcher? If not, are there any other mods I’d need?

gaunt orbit
#

yes, it is possible

#

have you ever made a content patcher mod before?

brittle pasture
#

I think they already know and they are trying to get around the weird drawing offset of dagger weapons (see posts above)

#

XY problem thing

primal tree
#

Actually, this is my first time creating a mod. If it’s possible, I think I should go back and read the mod documentation to figure out how to do it. Thanks!SDVpufferheart (Just to be clear, what I’m looking for is the dagger’s special attack skill—the one that lets you attack enemies quickly.)

brittle pasture
#

the solution to your actual issue (if I'm inferring it right) probably involves transpiling the weapon draw code

Hi everyone, I’m new to the discord 👋🏻 and looking for mod creation help. This is my first time ever creating a mod, so please be patient with me. I’ve been using the official SV wiki modding guide pages as well as a few forums and other resources I’ve found through NexusMods, but I’m hitting a wall. Maybe I’ve made my mod idea too complicated as a beginner or I’m just not understanding the guides 😞. Is anyone interested in helping me with my mod idea that’s willing to answer questions, give feedback/criticism, and/or play test? Any help is super appreciated 🤍

void aspen
#

What is your mod idea and what you've done already?

#

First recommended thing to do is creating a custom content pack or a custom map or a retexture so if it's something around that then even I can help

gritty bramble
#

Okay I haven't dipped my toes in this channel yet because I wanted to have my maps made before I deep dived into the more complex stuff, but out of curiosity are the NPC pathways going to be an issue if I change the placement of something (like the fences in town).

And similar to that note, do I have to make sure the puzzle path for the golden Lewis follows the same route for the statue to trigger?

void aspen
#

You can get the statue as long as you have the note, path doesn't matter

brittle pasture
#

NPC uses a pathfinder so unless your fences spots is going to occupy one of their end point it shouldn't matter

void aspen
#

it would be nice to retexture the path note to match your new thing tho

brittle pasture
#

as mentioned the statue isn't affected but your players may complain if their note doesn't match

gritty bramble
void aspen
#

Spouces can walk around your furnished house and farm so any npc can do the same with most map changes me thinks

gritty bramble
void aspen
#

unless you enclose them or mess with said endpoints

gritty bramble
brittle pasture
#

(SVE changes the town map extensively, making it so the Joja truck note no longer matches the roite, and instead of changing the path the author just changed the note to tell the player to go to the Joja truck directly)

gritty bramble
#

I might just make the puzzle path still doable for purists but yah

void aspen
#

Yeah making the same for lewis is as good too

#

was thinking about it

gritty bramble
#

Thank you SDVemoteheart

#

Is there a way to turn my 2x3 tmx into a furniture piece like a sofa or a placeable jukebox which can be used without additional to cp frameworks?

#

or I need stuff like spacecore and such

#

since I need tiledata on it

#

oh the essay

lucid iron
#

Sofa you can do but it's not really easy

#

Have to write furniture data instead

#

For jukebox you need to make the furniture and then have something to associate the furniture with a tile action

#

You don't work with tmx files outside of map

#

It's png and data models

void aspen
lucid iron
void aspen
#

igh igh

lucid iron
#

The asset is Data/Furnitures

lucid iron
void aspen
#

jukebox isnt a furniture I suppose oh

lucid iron
#

Vanilla furniture does support sitting but not arbitrary tile action

void aspen
#

not in data furniture at least

void aspen
lucid iron
#

Nah but there's a jukebox map action you can repurpose

#

So u can make it furniture no problem

void aspen
#

im fine with it being a separate non furniture thing too

#

ill take some wikis anyway

#

ty

lucid iron
#

Making it not a furniture would be harder imo

#

And still not possible with just content patcher

#

I try to recommend what I think is the easiest approach

void aspen
#

Yeah im just scared to use additional frameworks

#

but its totally gonna be the way for my next work

#

my monsters mod is a huge step above what I could do

#

gradually gonna do a more complex stuff

#

once I learn more stuff and practice on my little projects, I will update them to match my skill

#

theres still plenty of space for them to improve

#

Dove its been half an hour of you typing please have some mercy

lucid iron
#

Except the Target is a modded spacecore provided one

void aspen
#

I see

#

so its not complex in a slighest if I understand how to do cp changes

lucid iron
#

So it's really not that different, once u know how to do EditData in general it's applicable

void aspen
#

I see

uncut viper
#

The only real difference between most frameworks and what you're already doing is how good the documentation is for the framework

#

Most however have very good docs

void aspen
#

I suppose the more popular fw is the better its doc

proven spindle
#

That tends to happen naturally as more people ask questions about a framework they want to use

#

So more info and clarification gets added to the docs

#

But for every framework I've seen the author's happy to answer questions on it even if the docs aren't fully fleshed out yet

lucid iron
uncut viper
#

I don't think it's very true either

lucid iron
#

Is just like this

lucid iron
uncut viper
#

To add to what chu says there is no point to the framework existing at all if no one knows how to use it

hardy cedar
# void aspen What is your mod idea and what you've done already?

Thank you! Would love to share my idea 😊 Sorry in advance for the wall of text I’m writing!

I want to add a new coop animal (chicken) with ContentPatcher framework. I always felt there was a huge gap between coop and barn animal profits for mid to late game, so I wanted to create a coop animal mod that fills the gap but feels vanilla- friendly.

My mod adds an egg that can be obtained from Qi’s gem shop which you can hatch with the incubator into a special chicken. I want the chicken to be configurable for two production modes to choose between: 1) produce special eggs with a new artisan product made from them that gives the player a couple buffs, or 2) produce a randomized set of rare items related to Mr. Qi and Ginger Island (items produced in this mode would all be vanilla items, but rare & valuable like iridium ore, cinder shards, etc.).

I already have sprite sheets for the chicken, its eggs, & the artisan product made from the eggs. I recolored base game sprites and made slight tweaks so they are more unique. I also made two custom sounds for the new animal (adult and baby versions) using base game sounds layered over each other.

I’ve got my mod folder set up with JSON manifest & content files, & I set dependencies for Content Patcher and Extra Animal Config (which I want to utilize but don’t know how). The content file has a configuration schema to allow players to toggle whether the chicken produces eggs or rare drops, whether the chicken can eat golden crackers, and if the player wants the special eggs and artisan item to be counted toward perfection or not.

I have folders in the mod for the data JSON files, assets, and i18n for easy translation. In my data folder, I parsed out the data into separate JSON files so I can easily catch bugs or other issues. I have individual JSONs for: the chicken itself, the items (eggs and artisan product), mayo machine input/output, audio additions for the animal, & the patch to add the egg to Qi’s shop.

lucid iron
#

Whether they are better or worse mostly depends on whether i remember to write for non-programmers that day

lucid iron
proven spindle
#

I'm not saying frameworks get published with no documentation

#

Just that they tend to get more fleshed out over time, with stuff like examples and edge cases

lucid iron
#

I think before you get into configs and all that, you should do 1 make chimkin exist in your game, just letting it be buy from marnie is ok

hardy cedar
lucid iron
#

We can worry about the produce w/ EAC and config schema after chimkin exist

brittle pasture
#

nothing you describe so far needs EAC, so yeah I'd focus on getting the chimken to show up first

#

Have you taken a look at other new coop animal mods?

hardy cedar
lucid iron
#

I recommend this one

brittle pasture
#

that's exactly like what the duck does no

lucid iron
#

For now let's do just eggs for simplicity

hardy cedar
proven spindle
#

It might help to start a bit simpler

#

Create the egg object, have it show up in the game, and add it to a shop

#

Then start setting up the animal after that

hardy cedar
lucid iron
#

The one i linked only adds one animal, which is what you want to do right

Hello again all! I am trying to create a warp totem type object that randomly picks from several possible locations to send the player. Is this something that is possible using the ObjectExtensionData in SpaceCore, or would it require more C# implementation (or secret third thing)?
I know the Eli and Dylan mod has (spoilers?)||the Chaos Totem||, which does essentially the same thing, but that appears to be a custom C# addition to the mod.

marsh reef
#

Anyone know how many tiles, past the player down, you can see max zoomed out?

uncut viper

Depends on the players screen resolution innit

does anyone know if it's possible to use Content Patcher to edit another mod's content.json? i could have sworn i came across a mod that used a structure like: "Target": "Mods\Folder/assets/example.png", but i cannot remember. anyways, i want to edit a mod's content.json using my own to add more configuration options

uncut viper
#

Not everyone plays at that resolution, so I wouldn't rely on it being consistent

Need to know how far off to place a secondary destination

With EMC, for the "IngredientConfigs" section, does an item that fits the "ContextTags" entry need to have both, or would it be either or?

example:
"ContextTags": "jazz_item, allium_item"

both

if you want either you can add two entries; it should work even if it's only for one ingredient slot

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.

proven spindle
#

"Target": "Data/gifttastes",
Target should be Data/NPCGiftTastes

brittle pasture
#

also your format is not correct (you're missing the generic gift dialogue responses)

#

the unpacked files has examples

upper fractal
#

i placed it in the dialogues

brittle pasture
#

it still needs the generic responses fields

proven spindle
#

If you're skipping them you'll still need to double up the slashes

upper fractal
#

so should i put it in the same format as in the one from the wiki ?

brittle pasture
#

(as a side note I highly recommend adding {{ModId}}_ to the beginning of your NPC's internal ID, to avoid the chance another person releases an NPC named Heycien and conflicting with yours)

#

yes

upper fractal
#

i tried to put that token but it said something like it didnt exist and stuff so i gave up and erased it altogether

brittle pasture
#

weird, you're probably not formatting it correctly?

#

it'd just be "{{ModId}}_Heycien"

proven spindle
#

You have to make sure it's consistent across all entries that use your npc's internal name

#

If it's missing in any of them then that error would show up

#

(Easiest way is probably to ctrl+f 'Heycien' and replace with '{{ModId}}_Heycien' in all files)

brittle pasture
#

(though don't do it for the display name of course)

upper fractal
brittle pasture
#

it'

#

'd just turn into your actual mod id

proven spindle
#

The {{Modid}} part is a token, it auto adds the UniqueID from your manifest file to ensure the things your mod adds (npcs, items etc) are unique to your own mod and avoid compat issues with other mods

#

Hey peeps, adding translation to config options. Would one replace true & false with translatable tokens as well, or does this break contentpatchers logic?

brittle pasture
#

you should not change the actual config values

#

you just add new i18n keys

#

if you did that with the existing tokens you should revert those changes

near imp
#

the documentation shows translating config choices like wood or metal, but no example for true / false.

brittle pasture
#

it'd be the same

uncut viper

You do not want to translate the underlying values for the same reason you don't translate things like location IDs

!tilesheetlimbing

#

fuck

#

!tilesheetclimbing

ocean sailBOT
#

When creating or editing maps in Tiled, one common error is tilesheet climbing, marked by red text containing "invalid tilesheet path '../../..'. This is caused by SMAPI not being able to find the tilesheets needed by the map file. To prevent this error, make sure that you have a copy of all necessary tilesheets in the folder containing your WIP tmx file. Copies of vanilla tilesheets can later be deleted, but must be present while working on your map.

If you get this error with a completed map, an easy way to fix it is to open your tmx file in VS Code or a similar text editor, find all of the places with <image source=, and remove the filepaths to so that only the tilesheet names remain. For example, if the code says <image source="Content (unpacked)/Maps/townInterior_2" width="512" height="64"/>, change it to just <image source="townInterior_2" width="512" height="64"/>.

To use this command, type !tilesheetclimbing.

tiny zealot
#

you control when your mod's mail arrives

fierce vault
#

This is what I'm trying to account for

uncut viper
#

Your mail key would need a very specific format to be sent automatically, otherwise its up to your trigger actions

#

The condition has to be true for it to send it, regardless of when it was installed

fierce vault
#

Yeah, I have a trigger

uncut viper
#

Your condition up there currently requires it to be spring

tiny zealot
#

(please don't use specific mail keys to get specific send times. use a trigger action)

fierce vault
#

I'm not sure I know what you are refering to?

uncut viper
#

(I would personally allow the cooking recipe letters though since those (SHOULD!) be inherently namespaced)

fierce vault
#

I don't think I'm doing that?

uncut viper
#

(But I would still do tractions anyway. But it wouldnt cause issues)

#

You're not, ichor is just adding on to me saying that you can format letters a specific way for auto sending

tiny zealot
#

i'd still use a trigger for recipe letters, since then you can have the letters be specific to the recipe instead of generic and reused

uncut viper
#

You can do it for dates, but you shouldnt

#

Tbc I'd also still recommend tractions 10 out of 10 times for everything regarding sending mail

fierce vault
#

I did not know that was a thing. Interesting

uncut viper
#

It would honestly be easier if you pretended you still didnt

#

what horrors must this cause?

But it is still useful to know so that you don't accidentally do it when copying vanilla

before trigger actions, specific keys for dates etc. was the only way to control mail in the base game code, so we needed MFM and maybe other frameworks to do more complicated stuff and/or avoid conflicts. but now trigger actions are here, and they're good, and please everyone use them thank you

uncut viper
#

Well, vanilla uses the date format for quite a lot of its mail. But it must be formatted like spring24 or whatever. Nothing but the date

#

So, if two mods want to send mail on spring 24th using that format, then... yknow. Incompatibility

fierce vault
#

ah, ok

#

I saw those now that I think of it

#

in the unpaacked

#

so, this is sending the mail in summer huh?{"LogName": "Send Santa Letter", "Action": "EditData", "Target": "Data/TriggerActions", "Entries": { "{{ModID}}_SantaLetter": { "Id": "{{ModID}}_SantaLetter", "Trigger":"DayEnding", "Condition":"PLAYER_HAS_SEEN_EVENT Host parcy.jack_lastHi, SEASON Spring, DAY_OF_MONTH 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28", "Action":"AddMail Host parcy.jack_santaLetter tomorrow" } } }

uncut viper
#

No, that's still requiring Spring in the condition

fierce vault
#

does it pick the first day?

uncut viper
#

I'm not sure what you mean.

fierce vault
#

does it pick the 10th as its first choice for sending the mail, and then the rest in order if it fails to trigger?

uncut viper
#

It's not picking anything. Every time a Day Ends (DayEnding), it checks if the condition is true. If its true, it does your Action and marks this trigger action as done, so its never checked again. If it's not, it doesn't.

fierce vault
#

Oh, ok. that sounds like what I want it to do I think

#

I'll go test my mail ingame now that I've changed some stuff

#

trigger actions are pretty cool

#

tractions

calm nebula
#

Do u want to require spring

fierce vault
#

I mean, not really now that I think about it since the mail would not send before seeing the necessary event

#

I guess I can remove that

#

thanks!

#

Hey, so Si helped point me in the right direction with looking at vanilla mail earlier, but just incase I've misunderstand or forgotten something, do guys think this all looks right?{"LogName": "Send Santa Letter", "Action": "EditData", "Target": "Data/TriggerActions", "Entries": { "{{ModID}}_SantaLetter": { "Id": "{{ModID}}_SantaLetter", "Trigger":"DayEnding", "Condition":"PLAYER_HAS_SEEN_EVENT Host parcy.jack_lastHi, DAY_OF_MONTH 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28", "Action":"AddMail Host parcy.jack_santaLetter tomorrow" } } }in the default json:"Mail.parcy.jack_santaLetter": " removed for spoilers^ -Claus[#]Santa's Letter" in the dialogue json: {{i18n:Mail.parcy.jack_santaLetter}}",Because I can't get the mail to show up still. Si mentioned I'll need two i18n fields per letter, (one for the body of the letter, one for the title) because the [#] (and any other commands) in between have to be in the entry, they can't come from the i18n file (similar to events)

I guess I'm not sure if that actually means a whole other separate key though, because I'm not sure how I'd even format that. Just a little confused.

tiny zealot
#

i18n is a text storage and retrieval system for mods (that happens to be driven in part by what language the game is set to)

#

there's very little "have to" in how you set up your keys and values. it's up to you

#

Si is probably making those recommendations because putting syntax about the mail (the [#] and so on) in the i18n text runs the risk that translators for your mod will fuck it up and break your mail

fierce vault
#

Oh

tiny zealot
#

important to stress here that the game never sees your i18n files, just like it never sees your content patcher tokens (indeed, CP does i18n for mods by using a token!). content patcher evaluates its tokens before handing the data off to the game

fierce vault
#

Wow, you can actually separate that bit of code? Interesting. I was wondering if my set up was wrong because my letter will still not show up even though I should have met the conditions. Is what I have here supposed to be working at the base level?

tiny zealot
#

typically i set up mail in CP something like this (please forgive errors)
"{{ModId}}_WhateverMailId": "[letterbg whatever]{{i18n:mailId.textcontent}}%item or action or w/e %%[#]{{i18n:mailId.title}}",

#

so the "code" parts are baked in to the actual mail data and the text is pulled from the i18n

#

the best way to test whether your conditions are working is debug gq "paste your query here" in the situations where you think it should be true/false and see what the game tells you

#

if you've been debugging this for a while, you may also be in a state where you have run this action already, so it is not firing for that reason (remember actions are by default run only once per save)

fierce vault
#

Oh, I'll start a fresh save then

tiny zealot
#

that situation is especially likely if you are testing a DayEnding traction, since it will run right before saving the game

fierce vault
#

Oh, I don't even know if I need this one to be a dayending check. That was just copypasted from my other traction

tiny zealot
#

for sending mail i prefer DayStarted/AddMail Now over DayEnding/AddMail Tomorrow

fierce vault
#

Ok, thanks

#

I just realized something unrelated-

#

My mod's intro event triggers right after krobus's winter event, and that makes it feel less natural... I didn't really think much about it because I originally had jack's birthday on winter first, so I felt it was necessary, but I changed that to be on winter star instead, so maybe my event should be playing on winter second? Idk, is this a big deal?

#

(Not asking any specific person, just whoever has an opinion on this)

Hey! I published my first ever mod last night and wanted to share it SDVpufferheart

#

(Thank you!)

fierce vault
#

I guess the intro is technically his b-day, but it's set to the 25th because his b-day dialogue turns into winter star gift dialogue

#

It also makes it less annoying if you build him on the 5th or something

#

Because then you won't see his birthday as winter 1st

It does boilerplate for asset handling, gmcm/config stuff, and event registration mainly. It also has helper tools for harmony, dumps translation keys into a strings file, and can merge local jsons into other dictionary assets. Plus a few other useful things like adding the mod id as a global constant.

I also have plans to add automatic hot reloading to the asset stuff

I forgot to update the version number of my mod in the manifest when I updated it yesterday so I tried uploading a fix on nexus but when I go to download the files again (to make sure it's updated ig) the manifest still has the old version, even tho I KNOW I updated it... is nexus very delayed in making files available for download or something? I can see both the old files in my archive and it's been 10 minutes so idk I feel like I'm going insane lol

#

Or did you typo the mod id

hoary flame
#

it's the /games/ part of the url apparently

gaunt orbit
#

I see 1.1.0 on files and listed as current version, you should be good

Smapi caches version data to avoid spamming the nexus api, so it may take some time for the update checks to show in console

fierce vault
#

ah! my npc won't show when I skip the event again! SDVpufferwaaah

hoary flame
#

ahh okay thank you

fierce vault
#

odd because I have setSkipActions SetNpcVisible {{ModID}}_Jack/ before skippable

gaunt orbit
#

Imagine if it made a request for every mod every time anyone launched smapi. Nexus would get ddosed and launching the game would take even longer than it does

fierce vault

Doesn't let me open it

Also, I guess my setSkipActions aren't working the best either?

proven spindle

ah yeah

#

I forgot about that

wait

#

No, I'm not sure whether it's there or not, because I don't know exactly which thing you're referring to

#

I have data, but is it the right kind? Idk

#

But I was looking at the mail from content unpacked earlier

proven spindle
#

You'll want an entry that's

"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Data/Mail",
"Entries": ...
With the mail in the vanilla format in Entries. That's what the trigger action then references when sending it

fierce vault
#

Ohh, ok, thank you. that makes sense now!

inland rain
#

sorry for the late reply, I was trying (and failing) to remake those mods. The problem with what you suggest is there can be up to four sprinklers per tile; you have to specify the corner as well, which quarter of the tile you are querying. I can add a method that returns the tiles if you give it the tile you want to check, the corner, and the radius (I can add a method that gives you the radius as well)

meager ginkgo
#

where can I find resources for how npc schedules work?

ivory plume
meager ginkgo
inland rain
ivory plume
#

The end result would be the same, but it avoids the mod needing to call the API four times per tile. The API goes through the whole proxy mapping framework, so there's a non-trivial overhead to each API call.

#

I guess worst case I can just call the API four times per tile, and have a longer cache if needed.

inland rain
#

okay, that's understandable, but they aren't really tile based... like there's no sprinkler at x,y, they are each at the intersection of 4 tiles; it seems like it would be weird to query a tile for that, though I could add such a function I think

There are people who do commissions but this is also a great opportunity to practice art!

I know it's intimidating, but it helps if you think of it less as a skill to improve and more as a way to express yourself and try new things

You might produce things you don't like, but that's okay because the process is more important than the result, even if your ultimate goal is to make something you can use in your mod

Your spoiler opening tag is sandwiched between an open and close tag for size

If it opens on the outside it has to also close outside, and if it closes on the inside it has to open on the inside

    HashSet<Vector2> tiles = null;

    for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)

            var obj = ModEntry.GetSprinklerCached(terrainFeature, i, terrainFeature.modData.ContainsKey(ModEntry.nozzleKey + i));

            tiles ??= [];
            tiles.AddRange(ModEntry.GetSprinklerTiles(cornerTile, i, GetRadius(obj)));

Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right channel but i think it is -

I am in the midst of trying to create a mod with JSON Assetts as a dependency, im someone with little to no grasp on modding and the only thing i've done before is make a dialogue mod.

Ive been trial and erroring this mod for like 6 hours and i just wondered if anyone here had a better grasp on how rhe JSON assetts thing works because there'z sometjing that just isnt working :((

i have the sprite for the item i want to add, i tried using a tilesheet...i re wrotr the manifest like 4 times...i truly am stumped.

ornate locust
#

Why are you using JSON Assets?

#

It isn't needed anymore

#

unless it's for an old mod with it as a requirement anyway

mighty ocean
#

boy i don't know i said i have little to no modding knowledge im just following tutorials online 😞😞

You must be following an older tutorial then, you don't need to use that

oh. What do i do instead then?

What are you making?

dumb littke mod where i give the bachelor/ettes music tastes - adding in "vinyls/cds" which dont have any use apart from gifting to npcs.

Oh wait how silly of me

#

Here's a new tutorial

#

It's how to make a pie, that's an item

mighty ocean
#

Oh okay okay so- i can 100% add NEW items into the game - yeah? Because the reason i ended up using JA instead of CP was because a forum told me CP is only for retexturing stuff or something

ornate locust
#

That is old information

#

That was once true IIRC, but later updates opened stuff up a lot

#

I did a NPC mod and it's all in content patcher, and it has several new items like you're talking about that are things you can give as gifts

You can do all kinds of stuff in it now

Well damn I feel silly now i was doing it right in the first place 😭 i was using CP fo begin with and moved onto JA when a forum told me to do so - ugh thanks man

If someone told you that recently, might wanna tell them their information's old!

Unless you specifically want language-specific edits

Because I'm getting the same problem of the mail appearing but not registering

#

I'll just upload the whole content json too. Don't read the goodbye eval tokens if you care about avoiding spoilers. They're also not relevant to this mail issue. I've got another issue trying to use the mail flag in one of them to change jack's sprites/portraits, but that's definitely lower on the bugs list. https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/3c1343e4aae54fbb90984bdab8c0dc03

#

I also have the feeling that I may be needing to register what mail background is used?

#

But it should default to the default... right?

half tangle
#

An entry in mail data is sorta three parts:
The key: "mail.parcy..."
The first part of the value: "letter contents"
The second part of the value: "letter title"
Your key should not be an i18n token. The two parts of the value would be two i18n tokens put together with the [#] separator

fierce vault
#

Tbh, I'm second guessing my i18n-ing here

#

Ok, yeah, that makes sense

half tangle
#

"key" : {{i18n:v1}}[#]{{i18n:v2}}
(I think I wrote that right)

#

And yeah, it'll pick the default background if you don't specify

fierce vault
#

so, about the key; is this separate from what ichor was doing about compartmentalizing here? "{{ModId}}_WhateverMailId": "[letterbg whatever]{{i18n:mailId.textcontent}}%item or action or w/e %%[#]{{i18n:mailId.title}}",

half tangle
#

That first part of your value may end up being a bunch of i18n tokens depending on formatting

fierce vault
#

Oh

#

I'm looking at it again, and I realized they are doing the same thing, essentially 😅

#

I'm on mobile, so limited typing abilities here

(plus formatting and actions and such)

Hello! I need some assistance with figuring out Tiled. I want to make a small custom house for my npc, but I have absolutely no clue how to do that.

Or are tou asking for line a general tutorial

stoic chasm
#

Just a general tutorial

hard fern
#

Uhh

ocean sailBOT
#

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.

#

did you relaunch the game after making changes?

#

locations are only created when a save is loaded, so you have to reload the save if you want to see changes. Additionally, CP does not auto-update json changes; you need to use the command patch reload MyModID to force it to reload changes you've made to a json file

or you can relaunch the game, which will reload everything from scratch

The Cask class overrides the "TryApplyFairyDust" function of the "Object" class.

Is it possible to create a class for a new machine that only overrides this function? And if so, how would one tell Stardew to use that class?

I can clarify if need be, I'm aware this is a bit vague

torpid sparrow
ocean sailBOT
#

When creating or editing maps in Tiled, one common error is tilesheet climbing, marked by red text containing "invalid tilesheet path '../../..'. This is caused by SMAPI not being able to find the tilesheets needed by the map file. To prevent this error, make sure that you have a copy of all necessary tilesheets in the folder containing your WIP tmx file. Copies of vanilla tilesheets can later be deleted, but must be present while working on your map.

If you get this error with a completed map, an easy way to fix it is to open your tmx file in VS Code or a similar text editor, find all of the places with <image source=, and remove the filepaths to so that only the tilesheet names remain. For example, if the code says <image source="Content (unpacked)/Maps/townInterior_2" width="512" height="64"/>, change it to just <image source="townInterior_2" width="512" height="64"/>.

To use this command, type !tilesheetclimbing.

if you go the custom class route you'd need harmony anyway to make the game create your class when placing the machine down

marsh reef
#

🤣 no need, i found out i can open in it cs code and copy paste everything

#

the animations were on all the wrong blocks

gaunt heath
#

But yes, you can directly replace the tilesheets in the software

#

In the bottom right of the main screen you can click the button that looks like a wrench, and then go to tilesheet properties and there will be a field with a file path to the current sheet. You can replace the asset from there.

barren tapir
#

Good news! I got it working!
... Bad news, TryApplyFairyDust isn't the function I was looking for (turns out it gets called whenever you hover over an object 😅).

I'm gonna try and patch performObjectDropInAction instead, see if that works.

vale holly
#

that also gets called when you hover, you need to check the probe parameter

barren tapir

Good to know.

#

In that case, TryApplyFairyDust should hopefully work!

any idea why my patch doesn't get applied in release mode (Smapi does detect that the mod uses harmony), if I build in debug mode or wrap PatchAll in a try catch block the patch does get applied:

{{L@Kid}}.Dialogue.Resort

#

Let's say L@Kid is Sarah or something

#

This would look for Sarah.Dialogue.Resort in your i18n file

#

Another thing is that you are using this feature to pick a dialogue asset

"KidDialogueSheetName": "{{ModId}}_{{L@Kid}}_Kid"

But you are still loading to the default dialogue asset name

"Target": "Characters/Dialogue/{{ModId}}_{{L@Kid}}"
#

These need to match up

i think the i18n is right. the file in the i18n json and the file that pulls the dialogue matches

How can you have an unflavored item name override for a cooking recipe output? I see this in the documentation

"... with flavored variants named "Apple Jam" or "Grape Jam", but want "Marmalade" for if it's flavored after oranges), you can set the following string keys in Strings/Objects:

selph.ExtraMachineConfig_FlavorNameOverride_(O)QualifiedItemId/FlavorId"

but I'm not really sure how to set that up for Strings/Objects...
my current code just in case:

#

no

#

let me see if I can find an example

Hidden File Extensions

Windows and Mac hide most file extensions by default. If you are creating or updating mods, it's helpful to show file extensions so that you can be sure all mod files are named correctly.

To show file extensions on your computer:

On Windows 10, open File Explorer, click on the View tab, then check the File Name Extensions box.

On Windows 11, open File Explorer and click on View > Show > File Name Extensions.

On Mac, open Finder, and in the menu bar, click on Finder > Settings (or Preferences) > Advanced, then check the Show all filename extensions box.

To use this command, type !fileextensions.
cunning quartz
void aspen

try that

ivory plume

(A misnamed manifest.json file would show a different error: "because it contains files, but none of them are manifest.json".)

hard fern

if it allows to remove the .json then its a part of the file name

#

and not the extention

do this and if it does show up as manifest.json.json then you know what to do

(An invalid ID would be a different error though; "manifest is invalid" is specifically invalid JSON format.)

I mean it technically worked but it only changed 1 of the clothes options and it was meant to change multiple LineCry

void aspen
#

well at very least manifest is manifesting now

#

how exactly do you change your things

!json its easier for people to check your json files if you share them through the validator (in the future)

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.

0 0 96 64

cunning quartz
#

i dont think anything else that changes shirts though ill double check though

near imp
#

its hard to tell from the screenshot of your shirt asset image, but if that is a partial replacement of shirts, meaning that a lot of blank space is left on the .png where normally there would be shirts, you might also want to change how your new shirt texture is applied, with PatchMode

void aspen
#

Well ideally thats how youd want to change only part of the shirts
You also need to add this after your target
"ToArea": { "X": 0, "Y": 0, "Width": 96, "Height": 64 }

Youre trying to make a mod that replaces some but not all of the default shirts right?

cunning quartz
void aspen
#

you do a rectangle, I also retrived the shirts you accidentally deleted by blank spaces

near imp
#

Or specify which area of the image to replace, as Sasha says

void aspen
#

Try swapping the file and adding the line with ToArea

#

and see if it works

#

this way you keep the default shirts and make it compatible with other mods

#

kinda

near imp
#

If their new_shirts.png is the same size as the full default game shirt sheet, they will also need a FromArea, im pretty sure. contentpatcher wont know to disregard all the blank space on new_shirts.png otherwise SDVpufferthinkblob

void aspen
#

oh oh right

void aspen

#

alternatively, if they shrink the size of new_shirts.png so its only the size of the replaced shirts, the FromArea can be skipped (iirc)

cunning quartz
#

Sorry im a little overwhelmed and confused where should i start

void aspen
#

You need to do only two things, adding a line to your content to specify which area you want to edit on the original texture by adding this after the Target line
"ToArea": { "X": 0, "Y": 0, "Width": 96, "Height": 64 }
and then you also need a proper png for your new shirts file, the one I did here should work as fine

image.png
#

(you could also do two different rectangles but this works too)

cunning quartz
#

so replace the last image with the one you sent?

void aspen
#

generally yep

#

your file is too big and has blank spaces which game doesnt recognise and basically removes almost all textures for other shirts

cunning quartz
#

i see now that ive done that just try and relauch and see if it works?

void aspen
#

yep

#

would be nice if you dont use other shirt replacing mods that could mess yours one up for a testing period

#

but thats on you

cunning quartz
void aspen
#

you could just movethem somewhere for a while but Ig that works too

cunning quartz
#

im not worried about the other shirts i kinda just want these ones anyways

#

its still just the one shirt

void aspen
#

💔

cunning quartz
#

do i need to change something in the content.json

void aspen
#

are you sure you choose the right ones in the menu

void aspen
cunning quartz
#

void aspen
#

cunning quartz
void aspen
