Custom Bush is returning an empty season list (bush.Seasons = []), probably due to the dynamic conditions. The upcoming Lookup Anything 1.56.0 will show 'unknown' for the next harvest date in that case instead of breaking the menu. Thanks for reporting it!

[merry river]

Thank you for looking into it!

[fierce vault]

Button (you here?) I just noticed earlier that we’re on the same team!

[modest dagger]

is there a playsound action

[urban patrol]

in what context, trigger actions? tile actions?

[modest dagger]

trigger actions

[urban patrol]

not vanilla. BETAS has it

it's a tile action in vanilla

[modest dagger]

bugger, thanks nic

[torpid sparrow]

Betas is the best

[barren tapir]

OMG A FAMOUS PERSON

How would one modify the buffs of an object in C? This is what I'm currently trying to do:

// TODO: Apply  random buff.
Buff b = held.GetFoodOrDrinkBuffs().First();
b.effects.LuckLevel.Value += 10;

And I'm almost certain I'm barking up the wrong tree here 😅

On the upside, everything else I'm trying to do when using Fairy Dust is working!

[void aspen]

I really gotta learn C and especially SDV C mods, they seem funny to do

Hope my lua and py experience is enough to understand most of it

[half tangle]

as a start, make sure you learn C# and not C 🙂

[sterile crescent]

none of the c# videos i watched seemed relevant to stardew valley code on the slightest, are there resources for SDV type code specifically?

[half tangle]

the bottom of the page on buffs is probably helpful for you here https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Buffs

this wiki page is how I started with with C# mods https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/Get_Started and then I read a book on C# to learn some of its specifics (my coding background was not in C# before then)

you'll also want to decomplie the game (as noted in the wiki) to get a feel for what's going on in there and figuring out how you want to interact with it using your own code

[void aspen]

Right right

[terse girder]

is there a way to make an npc warp only accessible to one npc?

[calm nebula]

No

[terse girder]

damn

[brave fable]

out of interest, why do you ask? there may be better ways of getting the same effect

[terse girder]

basically i put a warp to and from a specific spot to cut down on walking time for my custom npc but it turns out a few other npcs like the warp and i don't want that

im thinking about just trying to move it but if u have a better solution i'd love to try

[void aspen]

Is making a little side tmx (2) which only your npc can access a possible variant for how npc warps work

[calm nebula]

(No)

[void aspen]

Boring

[solar bramble]

Hey friends! I'm making my first ever mod. Im making a pocket dimension in order to store and sort all my items from the various mods I've added to my game(I was using bags, but I was still feeling overwhelmed). I'm almost done, I'm just having some trouble with the wrap location. I want it to save the location the player is at before they warp into the pocket dimension, but my code keeps giving me error. previousTileX = Game1.player.TileX;
previousTileY = Game1.player.TileY;. I've tried this and getTileX/Y, but I can't seem to find the right command. Any help is appreciated.

[half tangle]

You may have to keep track of the player's tile history yourself and then store the specific tile somewhere at the moment of a location change in a Warped event if the new location is your pocket dimension

[brave fable]

hi, what's the error? there's several player position values you can use, like Position (current map pixel) and lastPosition (map pixel before movement applied, used for reverting movement), or Tile (current map tile coordinates) and TilePoint (the same but as Point instead of Vector2), or even getStandingPosition() for the centre of their collision box

[void aspen]

Damn this looks much more fun to play with than just some contact patches

[solar bramble]

"'Farmer' does not contain a definition for 'getTileX' and no accessible extension method 'getTileX' accepting a first argument of type 'Farmer' could be found." This is the error message. I'm still learning C#, but I'm having a lot of fun messing with this to help learn.

[brittle pasture]

do you have a decompile or an LSP/autocomplete set up

then you don't have to guess

just checked the correct property is Tile

[solar bramble]

I don't. I haven't really gotten that far with tools yet. Thank you for your help! I'll have to make a decompiler my next learning project.

[brittle pasture]

!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.

[solar bramble]

Thank you so much.

[hard plank]

I'd like to make a mod for NPCS that would change their sprite size, is this doable?

[jaunty shuttle]

Can you elaborate? Making the #px x #px area larger, or having more detail within the existing width and height? Which NPC's, new ones or the townspeople?

[hard plank]

the townspeople! I'd like to make a mod to change them into pokemon models, like how this mod does so for the farmer:

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/39038

[eager tree]

idk if it is, but maybe spacecore can help you with it. there's a override size option. though I know it has its limitations to what it can override

[hard plank]

I was told this would probably cause weird collision and interactions, but that 1.7 would have a "ForceOneTileWide" option that would help.. is it something like that?

[eager tree]

you'd have to override each sprite separately tho

[jaunty shuttle]

From my understanding, it's possible with frameworks yes, but it's not easy. Especially if this is your first mod

[hard plank]

it would be my first mod, yeah! haha. I have a friend who is very depressed and I wanted to surprise them by making a fully Pokemon-ified valley

[half tangle]

you might look into https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/14487 if you need more pixels in the sprite, but making them physically larger may be more difficult

[hard plank]

as long as they look like Pokemon and can still function, that'd be enough

[eager tree]

I would recommend for you to limit yourself to one NPC first. Test it out a lot before committing to all town folk

[half tangle]

For handling physically larger sprites, https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/22941 has that feature

[hard plank]

this is a good idea, thank you

[hard plank]

this looks super helpful! Thank you! I have the pokemon mystery dungeon sprites that I'm hoping I could use

[half tangle]

But, yeah, you'll need a framework if you're going beyond the vanilla resolution limitations

[eager tree]

wish you luck, seems like a nice idea

[hard plank]

thank you very much!!

[solar bramble]

I'm allllmost done. I'm having a problem with the end game. I have me mod folder set up like so PocketDimension/ manifest.json ← C# mod manifest PocketDimension.dll content/ ← Content Patcher pack folder manifest.json ← Content Patcher manifest content.json assets/ PocketDimensionMap.tmx but I cant get it to load the map. Content Patcher seems to not acknowledge the mod at all. Is there a different way I should be situating my folders?

[brittle pasture]

they cannot be nested

need one parent folder containing two mods

you can also let ModBuildConfig do the bundling automatically

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Pathoschild.Stardew.ModBuildConfig#bundled-content-packs

[ornate drift]

is there a way to add dialogue to your custom npc if the player offers them to move into their farm

like that one thingy in calico desert that lets you have npcs as roommates

[brittle pasture]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Dialogue#Engagement_dialogue

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Dialogue#Roommate_dialogue

[ornate drift]

i see

thanks

[solar bramble]

Thank you so much. I'll read up on this and figure it out. You guys have been great.

[ornate drift]

do NPCs go to the resort at random or is it a part of their schedule

[torpid sparrow]

random

[ornate drift]

oh so i shouldnt put it in schedule

[torpid sparrow]

you can also turn that off/on in their disposition

[torpid sparrow]

no

unless they have a specific reason to go

[ornate drift]

hmmmmm

so open 5 times a week

sunday and friday

[torpid sparrow]

hard at work

[ornate drift]

bro gets no rest

i wonder if theres a mod that focuses on electronics

like

not just phones specifically

modern tech electronics

[torpid sparrow]

hmm i mean

that would break immersion

but maybe

[ornate drift]

that would be the point of the mod

modern tech isnt supposed to go well with something like a farmer valley

Vincent will just be scrolling on his phone all day lmao

or Sam

[torpid sparrow]

vincent ipad kid

shudders

[ornate drift]

watching ai brainrot videos

BLEGH

[marsh reef]

bro this is so handy for messing with tiles 😤

[fierce vault]

You know, I feel like getting to work on my other npc again would be a fun break. I've learned a lot by cramming to get this mod done in 26 days, and it's been both stressful and fulfilling, but working on it's just not the same as my other mod. I know parents aren't supposed to pick favorites, but my creations aren't my kids, and I definitely have a favorite. I like my mod, don't get me wrong, but I guess my first idea's just the most special to me

I'm pretty happy that I undertstand event making a lot better now

It's kind of fun

I enjoy it more than writing the script for the event I think, because I get to see my work in action and also figure out how to make what I wrote sound less stiff.

I was dreading event making just months ago

it's not so bad now

[fierce vault]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I might be getting tired of multilining my events though

[hard fern]

yeahh its part of the reason why i just stopped 😅

[fierce vault]

I have that stardew extension which which makes the different code commands of an event readable by color, and after constantly scrolling up and down that huge, dull orange, mammoth of an intro, I think it's gotten kind of annoying

This isn't the character arc I expected

I think multilining is more enjoyable for shorter events

[hard fern]

i think i just like doing things "the hard way"

[fierce vault]

The thing that gets me is that everythings the same color when you multiline

I wish the stardew extension also worked on multilined events

[tiny zealot]

i wouldn't say i "enjoy" multilining, because it's a band-aid on the actual problem (using one big string for a data model), but it's so much better for source control and editing

[buoyant moon]

I'm still considering writing events in my own format and then have a script that converts them to the expected JSON

[fierce vault]

Oh, so you still prefer it? I do regularly space different sections out

Part of why I liked multilining is because it made everything feel easily swappable and modular

[tiny zealot]

yeah noodling with the event is much easier for me on multiple lines

[fierce vault]

less ways to accidentally delete other commands too, I think

[tiny zealot]

although technically i do most of my editing in the slightly-different-but-still-multiline test_event.txt format, then convert it to the json format for actual use

[fierce vault]

Oh, sounds too complicated for someone like me 😅

Actually, when I read what you said again, is that format something that's covered somewhere, or is it a personal thing?

[tiny zealot]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Console_commands#Festivals_and_events
runtestevent/rte

[fierce vault]

Oh, interesting. I'll take a look

[buoyant moon]

Huh, that seems convenient

[tiny zealot]

it's a tool helpful for people like me. you pay an inconvenience fee at the end (converting the script) and get faster iteration during the writing/testing phase (one console command, the script is loaded hot from disk every time with no cache, no patch reloading, etc.)

[fierce vault]

oOh

[tiny zealot]

not everyone finds it useful (cf. abagaianye arguing against it and me arguing for, all in good spirits of course)

[fierce vault]

Hmmm

[buoyant moon]

Not something I would have expected for a debugging command

[fierce vault]

Note: this file must use CRLF (Windows-style) line breaks, or it will fail to parse. If you are on Mac or Linux, make sure you convert when saving (any text editor should be able to do this).

I'm not familiar with windows, but...

I could probably google it lol

So, when using this, all the events are still one default color though right? No smapi schema, or stardeww syntax, or whatever they are both called

[tiny zealot]

probably? i wouldn't know

[fierce vault]

Ok. Thanks for the info, ichor

maybe I'll do both multilining and one string writing in the same events json depending on how I feel

[twilit quest]

grumpy If Nexus has a tag for "AI-Generated Content", why doesn't it have one for "Made without AI"?

[torpid sparrow]

i think the majority is made without AI

it would be a little redundant i fink

[hard fern]

yeah

[twilit quest]

You're probably right. Hopefully that will remain the case. ^_^

I just wanted to tag my own mods with, "That's right, this was made with my own blood, sweat, and tears (and copious help from the SDV Discord)."
But I suppose that's a bit long. XD

[lucid iron]

u can always put that in desc

and i think u can do custom tags right

[brave fable]

surely people will just filter out 'ai-generated' and get the exact same result

[torpid sparrow]

yar

[twilit quest]

You folks are all so smart and logical ^_^

[torpid sparrow]

glymr ur bundles destroyed me

i gave up

[twilit quest]

Oh no! ^_^;;;

I'm sorry

[torpid sparrow]

a lot of them were fun though

[twilit quest]

Were you using the Vanilla version?

[torpid sparrow]

i just never make friends early on so the recipes were GUH

[twilit quest]

Ahhhh

[torpid sparrow]

yes

[twilit quest]

Yeah

None of the recipes for the Minecarts required over 3 hearts (and the QoS ones were all available fairly early in the year)

[torpid sparrow]

i still had fun though

the struggle is entertaining

[twilit quest]

It's definitely meant to be challenging

There's a rhythm to it. I have trouble making friends early, too, since I'm usually focused on accomplishing specific goals. It's part of the reason I put the recipes in, so I wouldn't leave making friends and cooking all the dishes until I was trying to get perfection XD

Thank you for trying it out, @torpid sparrow. I'm glad you had fun, even if it was also frustrating XD;

[torpid sparrow]

it's great!!

had me doing a lot of stuff

[terse girder]

how does one get rid of the vanilla marriage dialogue

for a custom npc

[torpid sparrow]

there are marriage dialogue keys

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Dialogue#Marriage_dialogue

[terse girder]

i have stuff in there 💔 why is it still pulling from vanilla

i dont get any error messages

[torpid sparrow]

did u include ur json

assuming its in a separate json idk

[terse girder]

yeah

[torpid sparrow]

can i see ur json

[terse girder]

to be honest im a little self conscious about my dialogue writing ability so im going to change all of the dialogue to just "e" but yes!

[torpid sparrow]

i wont judge dw

[terse girder]

frick character limit

[torpid sparrow]

!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.

[torpid sparrow]

send through here

just send the link and ill be able to see it

[terse girder]

https://smapi.io/json/none/79e7b0c302d64f899b8f3bdce5fde7cd

my only idea is maybe i didnt put Enough dialogue ?

[torpid sparrow]

hmm no there should be at least some popping up

did u add this mid-test?

[terse girder]

nah i always turn the game off and back on when i change anything

[torpid sparrow]

hmm

[torpid sparrow]

btw u dont have to all the time

you can put patch reload ModId into ur console

itll reload ur CP patches

[terse girder]

damn...gotchu

[torpid sparrow]

certain patches will require a relaunch but you can always try that first

works 90% of the time

[terse girder]

but yea i tested over multiple ingame days and only vanilla stuff is coming up for some reason

[torpid sparrow]

it doesnt look like anything is wrong there

[terse girder]

i am very confused 😭

[torpid sparrow]

can u type in patch summary modid into ur smapi console

and then send a log?

!log

[ocean sail]

Important note: Your computer username may appear in the log. If your username is your full name, please be aware of this before uploading it.

Please share your SMAPI log file. To do so:

1. Open this page: smapi.io/log.
2. Follow the instructions at the top of the page to upload the log file. (Don't copy & paste from the console window!)
3. After uploading, it will show a green box with a URL to share. Post that URL here.

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

To use this command, type !log.

[torpid sparrow]

you'll have to close ur game

[terse girder]

just like that or do i replace modid with my actual mod id

[torpid sparrow]

ur mod id

[terse girder]

gotta make sure im not literally stupid

https://smapi.io/log/f47e04efbe594ddb98bf6e9ddc509a28

[ocean sail]

Log Info: SMAPI 4.5.2 with SDV 1.6.15 build 24356 on Windows 11 (10.0.26200.0), with 9 C# mods and 1 content packs.

[terse girder]

i turned off pretty much every mod except the ones i need to test

[torpid sparrow]

hmm the patch hasnt been applied

[terse girder]

hm

[torpid sparrow]

the regular dialogue too? thats confusing

is the regular dialogue working

[terse girder]

the regular dialogue is working fine yeah wtf

[torpid sparrow]

oh did u load a blank

for marriage dilaogue

[terse girder]

yeh

is

is that bad

[torpid sparrow]

no thats eright

[terse girder]

okok

[torpid sparrow]

i dont see ur blank load for marriage

[terse girder]

the only thing i didnt load blank for is disposition because the home location wasnt working if i did it through the blank for some reason

would that mess stuff up

[torpid sparrow]

no dont think so

can u maybe send ur content json

i dont know if u did unique lognames for everything so the patch summary is a bit hard to read for me

[terse girder]

yeh

https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/4ab4e8c12cec4a6b9f67bc8e6f3895f1

[torpid sparrow]

yeah theres no blank loaded for marriage dialogue

[terse girder]

oh did i forget to add it lmaooo

fuck

[torpid sparrow]

ur targetting this Characters/Dialogue/MarriageDialogue{{ModId}}_Mayoi which doesnt exist

[terse girder]

that would be why i am having issues it seems

i couldve sworn i added it in there

ty

[torpid sparrow]

np!

[terse girder]

yippee it's working now thank u

[marsh reef]

question about tiled, if i want a modded piece of furniture to default in the map im modding, how would i call on that in the farmhousefurniture

[hard fern]

uhhh

wdum

[brave fable]

simply use the item's internal ID in the property value as if it were vanilla furniture

[marsh reef]

so, it has stuff that will be in the farm house when generated, in FarmHouseFurniture with like the x y the the number id, do i replace the number id with the internal one? do i need (O)?

[hard fern]

(F) for furniture

[brave fable]

for vanilla furniture, the internal ID usually happens to be a number

[marsh reef]

oh fair

[brave fable]

you'll want to refer to the decompiled Data/Furniture asset for a comprehensive list, where the internal IDs are the keys on the left, correlated to the names on the right as reference

[marsh reef]

and the x y is for the top left corner of it, correct?

[brave fable]

i believe it's the top-left corner of the bounding box, not the sprite

[marsh reef]

right

[marsh reef]

🤔 but custom furniture im tryna use

[brave fable]

well that was referring to the vanilla furniture in particular, but as i said you'll want to use their internal ID all the same, since there's no functional difference between custom and vanilla furniture

if you have the furniture mod installed you can use patch export data/furniture while in the save to export a list of all furniture as it appears ingame, which can make it simpler to get the complete names of furniture including the mod id

[uncut viper]

(The property only allows numeric item IDs until 1.6.16)

[brave fable]

oh. i see. this is a problem

[uncut viper]

Correct. It is not possible via vanilla means until 1.6.16 releases, unless the modded furniture also uses a number (it shouldn't...)

[glossy cargo]

Does anyone know why the Sunfish is the only fish that the wiki claims can be caught in windy weather?

As far as I can tell from the in-game data, that isn't true. Heck, the data seems formatted to be either sunny, rainy or both, with not even syntax that would allow this anyway

[half tangle]

could be related to the fact that the sunfish is often forced to be the first fish a player catches?

maybe look at the edits to the wiki and see if there's any comment about it

[marsh reef]

is FarmHouseFurniture useable outside of the farm house? or is it named differently?

[lucid iron]

you cannot use it outside of farmhouse

if you wish to spawn furniture you can use ftm

[marsh reef]

... vorp

what would i put here

[lucid iron]

you dont.

[marsh reef]

broski no

[lucid iron]

farm type manager is a different system

[marsh reef]

i want a place to generate with furniture in it

[lucid iron]

no on the map

yes and i told you its a different mod to do it

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3231

[marsh reef]

thats what i'd use to make my lil house thingy generate with furniture? 🤔

[fossil osprey]

Maybe "sunny" means "not rainy" in-game, so the wiki added "windy" to be explicit?
Iirc the sunfish is the only fish that can't be caught when it's raining, so it's hard to say without digging deeper

[brave fable]

you can use it to spawn furniture anywhere, and considering FarmHouseFurniture apparently doesn't allow for non-numeric furniture IDs, it's best you use it for the farmhouse too

[marsh reef]

farmhouse i dont need, i need this extra map im making, to load in, on a new save, with furniture in place 🤔

[brave fable]

then yes, you're using FTM either way

[marsh reef]

alr, is there a wiki/document on the page? i may be blind

[brave fable]

you may be blind; see Customization on the nexus page

[marsh reef]

most definitely didnt see the readme, yes

[ornate drift]

would it be too overpowered if i made my bear sell a dessert that was equally as strong as rock prism candy once a week

[fossil osprey]

If it's once a week, and it's expensive/requires an exchange, then it's ok
You can trade MRC at the desert trader

[ornate drift]

i see

[ornate drift]

I'm gonna have to add 36 fucking items bro

[fossil osprey]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1458949849553698847/1485693715589890108/stickbug.gif

[ornate drift]

My plan:
Donuts - 5 per day
Cakes - 1 per day
Croissants - 3 per day
Cupcakes - 5 per day
Plates - 1 per day
Prism cupcake - 1 per week, if you miss it on a specific day, you'll have to wait until next week

[void aspen]

adding 32 monster cans took about 1500 lines of code for me lol

good luck

theres def a way to make it easier and shorter but I wasn't doing anything fancy

[ornate drift]

what the FUCK

[floral stream]

holy…

like 47 lines per

[void aspen]

it was my first time adding new objects so yeah I did what I could

each had way too many properties

[ornate drift]

I'd probably do something like
item name
item description
item buffs
health and stamina

that's it

isn't most of it just copy and pasting?

[void aspen]

It is

[floral stream]

health and stamina is just “edibility” both are calculated based on whatever number you put for edibility

[ornate drift]

ah

[void aspen]

That's how big properties of a basic bread are, now imagine that 36 times

    "Name": "Bread",
    "DisplayName": "[LocalizedText Strings\\Objects:Bread_Name]",
    "Description": "[LocalizedText Strings\\Objects:Bread_Description]",
    "Type": "Cooking",
    "Category": -7,
    "Price": 60,
    "Texture": null,
    "SpriteIndex": 216,
    "ColorOverlayFromNextIndex": false,
    "Edibility": 20,
    "IsDrink": false,
    "Buffs": null,
    "GeodeDropsDefaultItems": false,
    "GeodeDrops": null,
    "ArtifactSpotChances": null,
    "CanBeGivenAsGift": true,
    "CanBeTrashed": true,
    "ExcludeFromFishingCollection": false,
    "ExcludeFromShippingCollection": false,
    "ExcludeFromRandomSale": false,
    "ContextTags": [
      "color_brown",
      "food_bakery"
    ],
    "CustomFields": null
  },```

Definetely it could be done with tokens me think

just by putting some in the fields you gonna change

[devout otter]

This is where you'd want local tokens to make it easier.

[void aspen]

name description price edibility buffs

[brave fable]

you can omit most of those null and false fields to reduce the length a great deal

[void aspen]

dont be me and do it properly lol

[ornate drift]

i think the only thing I'd put is where you can't find it outside of one shop

[brave fable]

probably the true fields as well actually

[void aspen]

So this could work as well for a modded object?

    "Name": "Bread",
    "DisplayName": "[LocalizedText Strings\\Objects:Bread_Name]",
    "Description": "[LocalizedText Strings\\Objects:Bread_Description]",
    "Type": "Cooking",
    "Category": -7,
    "Price": 60,
    "Texture": null,
    "SpriteIndex": 216,
    "Edibility": 20,
    "IsDrink": false,
    "Buffs": null,
    "ContextTags": [
      "food_bakery"
    ],
  },```

[uncut viper]

"216": {
    "Name": "Bread",
    "DisplayName": "[LocalizedText Strings\\Objects:Bread_Name]",
    "Description": "[LocalizedText Strings\\Objects:Bread_Description]",
    "Type": "Cooking",
    "Category": -7,
    "Price": 60,
    "SpriteIndex": 216,
    "Edibility": 20,
    "ContextTags": ["color_brown","food_bakery"],
  },

This is actually all that specific entry needs

[ornate drift]

wouldn't price be in the shop json?

[uncut viper]

A modded object though would likely want to specify the texture

[void aspen]

Theres sell price and buy price

[uncut viper]

Because it's probably gonna be a custom texture

[ornate drift]

ohhh

[void aspen]

sell price on the object and buy price on the shop

[ornate drift]

okok

I don't know what that displayname and description are

not what they mean but like the strings and stuff

[void aspen]

Those are for languages

string is just a type of data which represents basic text

[ornate drift]

can't it just be something like DisplayName: "ModId_Macaron"

oh

[void aspen]

Display Name doesnt need modId either

its what you see in game

So just Macaron is fine

[ornate drift]

what's the sprite index

[void aspen]

The number of the tile on your tileset

from top left to bottom right

you already did an npc you may know that

[ornate drift]

you need a tileset for object? i thought they were separate 16x16 pngs

[void aspen]

why keep it separate

[ornate drift]

i literally exported all of them separately 😭

[void aspen]

you can sew them all in one tileset

[ornate drift]

I don't know i just figured it was that way

[void aspen]

in ase

[ornate drift]

i don't have ase

[uncut viper]

You can keep them separate. It is better performance-wise if they're all on one sheet, but unless you have a ton of them, it's largely negligible.

The game keeps them all on only a couple sheets.

[void aspen]

see how they are done here

you just load one file and use index for your object

[ornate drift]

oh damn

[uncut viper]

(Though please do try and refrain from sending complete, unaltered unpacked game assets)

[void aspen]

oh

thought it was fine to do here for educational reasons

[void aspen]

I can help you with placing all of them in a single file if you want

[uncut viper]

It's preferred to have them unpack their own assets, as it means they must actually have the game in some form themselves in order to get it

(The royal they, not Speedy specifically)

[ornate drift]

you'd be doing me a huge favour

lemme send you in dms

[void aspen]

Fair enough

[ornate drift]

nvm i can't dm 💔

[void aspen]

My bad one sec

[ornate drift]

LMAO

[void aspen]

okay do it again

i hate friend requests but I had dms turned off too fsr

they are on now

[ornate drift]

tyty

[pine elbow]

hello

best mods sdv?

its like i was lf someone making

mods

[hard fern]

If you want to use mods, this isn't the place for it

If you're interested in making them then you can ask your questions here though

[pine elbow]

bruh

how will i make mods here

ofcourse only lf discuss

[hard fern]

By reading the documentation...?

Im genuinely not sure what you're looking for at this point

The channel i linked is the place to discuss popular mods

[void aspen]

#modded-stardew for discussions about mods if you wanna play with some

#making-mods-general , #making-mods-art is for people who make mods and need help or feedback generally

[void aspen]

@pine elbow

[ornate drift]

uhhh okay

time to do this

[ornate drift]

wait whats the 216 for

[hard fern]

It's the key

Of the bread

[ornate drift]

er

[hard fern]

Um

[ornate drift]

do i make a custom key for a custom object

[hard fern]

Yes

[ornate drift]

so something like

1000?

or can i also use letters

[hard fern]

Better to just make it your item's id

That way it's entirely unique

[fossil osprey]

Yeah you can use whatever you want, so do something that has a meaning

[ornate drift]

so {{ModId}}_Donut

[hard fern]

Yeah

[fossil osprey]

exactly

[ornate drift]

no idea what to do with displayname and description

[verbal glacier]

Donut as the display name or the type of donut and description is just for what you want players to know about it

[hard fern]

it's basically just what you see when you hover over the item

like

[ornate drift]

oh so not localized text strings or whatever that is

[hard fern]

well uh

[fossil osprey]

Well you can

[verbal glacier]

that's for vanilla

[hard fern]

technically yes you can

[verbal glacier]

most mods use i18n now

[fossil osprey]

It's advised to, for translation, but you do you

[hard fern]

mm well for translation purposes i think they'll both do the job

[ornate drift]

meh im just focused on making a mod atm

so ima skip

[fossil osprey]

yeah but i18n makes for a way easier translation process, so it's advised to use i18n if you want to add translation

[ornate drift]

does the sprite index move from left to right

[verbal glacier]

here's blue moon wine from sve and in your default.json you'd have the dislapy name (blue moon wine) and description

[hard fern]

top left to bottom right

at the end of a row it wraps to the start of the next row

[hard fern]

oh and the sprite index starts at 0

[ornate drift]

i wanna use the last one
so 5?

[hard fern]

yes

[ornate drift]

yay

wait how does it know where the tileset even is

[hard fern]

wherever you loaded it to

[ornate drift]

do i add Texture: "Assets/Object PNGs/Sweets.png"

[verbal glacier]

you load your tilesheet and then with texture indicate it and with sprite index you use 5

[hard fern]

if you loaded your objects tilesheet to just "boink" then that is the texture name

[ornate drift]

augghhhh

[hard fern]

here i'll try and pull up an example

[ornate drift]

do i load the tilesheet from content?

[hard fern]

if vsc will load...

[ornate drift]

or in the same json as objects

[verbal glacier]

you can have it in objects but you need to include objects in your content

[hard fern]

so in my content.json i loaded my tilesheet

            "Action": "Load",
            "Target": "{{ModId}}/Objects",
            "FromFile": "assets/Objects.png"
        },```

and i reference it in the object data

"Texture": "{{ModId}}\\Objects",

[ornate drift]

so far i have this atm

[ornate drift]

oh

theres a target?

[hard fern]

you need a target

you can't just load a file to nothing

my target is my mod id/Objects because it's simple

you can make it literally anything you want

well uh, just not the vanilla assets

[ornate drift]

alright

[ornate drift]

why the two \s
i havent seen that before

[fossil osprey]

The first escape the second

And forward vs. backward is a war between windows and linux, no idea why backward here tho

[ornate drift]

the second i start using SDVE i just KNOW my mod is gonna break

[verbal glacier]

compatibility is hell

[fossil osprey]

Why? You've placed your building somewhere they modify?

[ornate drift]

the uh

playground

i replaced that area

[verbal glacier]

that should only really conflict with schedules, i think

[ornate drift]

but like i should def consider making it compatible

nobody plays vanilla sdv

realistically

[verbal glacier]

the main compatibility that you'd need to worry about is festivals cause the spot you picked is nice and tucked away

[ocean sail]

@verbal glacier You leveled up to Cowpoke. You can now share images in all channels!

[verbal glacier]

yippee

[ornate drift]

thats the point

i picked that spot bc its very far away from everything else

[fossil osprey]

eh there's a bunch more people than we think that don't use SVE, but I agree it's still widely used

[ornate drift]

20 million downloads bro

😭

[verbal glacier]

Look at unique

[ornate drift]

not to mention i think the owner of SVE worked on the 1.6 update

[verbal glacier]

20 mil includes redownloads

[verbal glacier]

Ye

[ornate drift]

its more than 1 mil regardless

so still a lot

[verbal glacier]

True true

[ornate drift]

mmm im gonna keep my mod out for a bit and try SVE

see how it is

[verbal glacier]

For compatiblity you'll want to use "When": {"HasMod |contains=FlashShifter.StardewValleyExpandedCP": true}

That needs to apply to every patch you make where you notice that SVE is making things difficult.

[dreamy dew]

Do mineral and gem ores, and large rocks or boulders count towards rocksCrushed?

[past loom]

hii, I have an issue with my map loading, it worked fine yesterday but today I added a custom tilesheet to my map and I think it ruined something? I did the thing where you edit the tiled file by using an app to delete the path thingies from the tilesheets so only the name remains but that didn't help. Here is the log if anyone can take a look :'D
https://smapi.io/log/fd7953dd465b49ff8ea4c2bc65fe641d

[verbal glacier]

the minerals/gems do i'll check for large rocks and boulders (you can use debug getStat rocksCrushed to check this as well)

[dreamy dew]

Using the console command in-game, right?

What about a crashed Meteorite?

[verbal glacier]

the large one in the mines didn't increase the number for me

in the terminal

[dreamy dew]

Oh, then I'm gonna assume it wouldn't count on the Meteorite.

[verbal glacier]

could you share your .json with the map/location data?

[dreamy dew]

I'm reading this wiki page, and there are other stats I know what's about but haven't seen it before.
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Stats

[past loom]

yup, here it is!

https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/072e8f82d4db4eb99ea6bd7bea823053

[verbal glacier]

Stardew keeps track of lots of little tidbits

[verbal glacier]

hmm, could you maybe try changing your location to {{ModId}}_ColumbinaHouse because it might be reading both your character and your location as the same thing

[past loom]

nope, still get an error

[dreamy dew]

Based on testing - not really testing, but more like keep "accidentally" consuming books when I'm supposed to gift them to NPCs - I notice buff skill books remain '1' regardless. This should be updated on the stats modding wiki page.

[verbal glacier]

{
      "Action": "EditMap",
      "Target": "Maps/Mountain",
      "MapPorperties": {
          "Warp": "20 4 {{ModId}}Columbina 13 19"
      } 
    },
```  maybe this might work (I am no expert with maps sorry)

[dreamy dew]

Any more consumption after initial use just gives the farmer XP if there are any from the book. I'm gonna make an assumption that these Book_book ID aren't just counter stats but also checks if the farmer has opened the buff book for the first time and/or adding it to their powers.

Oh, @verbal glacier (sorry for the ping), OtherPreciousGemsFound is the one counting the gem nodes now?

[past loom]

managed to fix this, turned out that tiled read my tilesheet as coming from my desktop rather than the mod folder which messed it up, but it's all good now! Thanks anyways ^^

[verbal glacier]

I think in 1.6.16 OtherPreciousGemsFound will track those gem nodes and rocksCrushed will include all of the small rock nodes

[verbal glacier]

Ah nice

[dreamy dew]

Ah, I think I got it. rocksCrushed counts stones found in the Farm and the Mines as well as nodes of gems and minerals (copper, iron, gold, iridium)?

Then as for OtherPreciousGemsFound, just the gem nodes?

[verbal glacier]

I reckon (though OtherPreciousGemsFound is not doing that correctly in 1.6.15)

[dreamy dew]

Sad that CaveCarrotsFound stat is removed.

Dramatic, but something snapped in me with that. lol

Btw, itemsForaged seems to count any item picked up by hand in the game, including Mayor Lewis' Purple Shorts and Robin's Lost Axe.

[verbal glacier]

hehe

There's probably no need for vanilla to make a distinction

[dreamy dew]

I think it's funny to me, makes one assume Lewis' Lucky Purple Shorts can be found in the wild.

[verbal glacier]

I mean...

check the bushes

[dreamy dew]

Oh, speaking of bushes, how are the berries counted? Or are they at all?

[verbal glacier]

I can't really find anything

[dreamy dew]

Do they not count towards itemsForaged?

They do give 1 Foraging XP per berry (3 max).

[verbal glacier]

when I use debug GetStat itemsForaged after harvesting a salmonberry the number does not go up

[dreamy dew]

Sad, but that's okay.

[past loom]

okay, another issue, sorry- Custom location works fine and I can enter but the NPC doesn't spawn there (even though I changed her spawn point) and she doesn't follow her schedule there. Got a red error in smapi telling me that the location isn't found but it clearly is if I can enter it, right?-

[fossil osprey]

That would be a fun mod, every once in a while Lewis loses his shorts and you can simply find it somewhere on the ground
Bring it to him for a reward, put it anywhere for fun reactions

[dreamy dew]

About MossHarvested, does it count how many Moss you get from harvesting from a tree, or how many you harvest trees of Moss?

[verbal glacier]

The number of times moss was harvested from trees by the player. according to the wiki

[dreamy dew]

I read that but couldn't quite understand it, sadly. But is it the latter then?

[verbal glacier]

i believe it tracks the number of times you interact with a tree and obtain moss, so the latter.

[royal stump]

just to confirm from the code, yes, that stat goes up by 1 when you remove moss from a tree, regardless of amount/whether you pick it up/etc
other moss sources like weeds aren't checked either

[royal stump]

your schedule might not be using the right location ID: it's looking for "Columbina_house", but your most recent upload of the CP content file uses "{{ModId}}Columbina" as the key (ID) in Data/Locations

[past loom]

oh alright! Let me try that then ^^

yeah no still get the same error

[royal stump]

can you upload the current file(s) with the Data/Locations and schedule parts?

also it might help to try on a new save, or at least sleep a day
iirc the game saves NPCs' schedule overnight and won't use edits right away

[rain inlet]

what an odd stat

[past loom]

I always quit the game and open it again after making changes, but give me a moment and I'll get the files :D

[royal stump]

a lot of stats are a little weird and picky, they're mostly added for internal use on one niche feature
(but as of 1.6 content packs can see them )

in the case of moss, I think the game only uses it as part of the rng seed for the next moss drop

[past loom]

this is the content file and the schedule
https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/f9eb9a9d2523486eb96b11dd704fa37d
https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/7f9d47d91eb14c76916423925ee79bd8

[royal stump]

ah, you've still got "Location": "Columbina_house", in the NPC's home data, so it might be complaining when it checks that part

[past loom]

nope, still get the error :'D

[royal stump]

if that text doesn't show up anywhere else in your json files, and you're testing on a new save again, you might have different files between your workspace and what the game's actually loading

that's the only columbina_house left in the uploads, at least

(not counting the map file name, which the game doesn't see)

[verbal glacier]

For your schedules you don't have Action: EditData and a set target and then entries

[royal stump]

that file's being loaded directly here in the main content.json:

{
      "Action": "Load",
      "Target": "Characters/schedules/{{ModId}}Columbina",
      "FromFile": "assets/schedule.json"
}```

[verbal glacier]

ah

[latent mauve]

The load however will probably break the tokens in the schedule file

[verbal glacier]

but doesn't this still need to have editdata and such?

[latent mauve]

{{ModId}} is a token and cannot be used in a loaded entry (you need to use a blank JSON and EditData for that)

[royal stump]

oh, my bad, I was assuming CP parsed tokens in those

[royal stump]

if the error isn't "columbia_house" anymore and says {{ModId}} in the console, fireredlily's comments would be why ⬆️
it'll need fixing either way

[past loom]

ah that might be it! Thank you guys, I'll try it later and see how it goes <3

[finite ginkgo]

Load directly loads data, it’s not a content patcher operation, it’s direct data, so no

[latent mauve]

^that

It's best practice to load a blank.json and then EditData to the target for a brand new schedule or dialogue JSON, because it does prevent the issue of tokens not being parsed, but it's not the only way if you know what you are doing

If you fully wrote out your mod ID instead of using {{ModId}} and didn't use any other tokens in the schedule, the load would likely have worked just fine.

[fleet oxide]

I'm having a difficult time understanding the use of the "true" condition when I use the move command during an event. it seems like every time, I try to introduce it, all my actors go nuts and walk all over the place. Does anyone have a link to a good explainer or something? I've been using a lot of the event tutorials on the wiki and they're really helpful but none of them go into a lot of depth about that one particular thing

[torpid sparrow]

true just meeans that the rest of the commands will play without waiting for the move command to finish

can i see ur json/event?

[fleet oxide]

sure! https://smapi.io/json/none/f1040bc74c5d41f5bc6885411e549a46

right now I'm looking at the last event in the file

from the jump, that first move command that has true in it makes Pam wander a bunch of extra tiles to the left when she comes in

[torpid sparrow]

/move farmer 0 -7 0 true/warp Pam 22 10/move Pam -1 0 2/ this would make her move left but im not sure why continuously

i think you have to do warp before?

warp before the farmer move command i mean

[prisma hemlock]

Not realy mod making, but what mods should i get for my first playthrough (NO NOT THE PAM HORSE)

[torpid sparrow]

the warp doesnt take any time so it can be placed really anywhere before u need it

[torpid sparrow]

#modded-stardew

[prisma hemlock]

Ohh mb i am blind!

[torpid sparrow]

nw!

[fleet oxide]

Ok, I'll give that a try!

[torpid sparrow]

also if u need pam there, why dont you set her up there originally?

[verbal glacier]

also shouldn't skippable//viewport be skippable/viewport?

[torpid sparrow]

it looks like u set everyone negative first before warping them

[fleet oxide]

She's supposed to be getting off the bus as the farmer walks up and then my NPC gets off, as if they just got there

[torpid sparrow]

oh yeah i didnt look at that

[torpid sparrow]

ahh ok

that makes sense

[verbal glacier]

you have that for a couple events

[torpid sparrow]

that may be the reason then

[fleet oxide]

I tried it with warping her before the move command and she still went way left unfortunately

[torpid sparrow]

did u fix the viewport one

[fleet oxide]

yeah I just tried it again after fixing that, still no luck

[torpid sparrow]

hmmm

ok

you can move two actors simultaneously

so instead of one move command being true and following it with another

do move farmer a b c pam a b c

[fleet oxide]

oh ok, let me try that

[torpid sparrow]

move farmer 0 -7 0 Pam -1 0 2

[fleet oxide]

yes, that worked! thank you!!

[torpid sparrow]

yay!

[fleet oxide]

ok, here's another question. Boris is supposed to get off the bus and bump into the player, but right now farmer just stops in the middle of the map and waits for Boris to get there. I'd like for it to be simultaneous, but if I add "true" to the joint pam/farmer movement, Boris walks right through the player.

[barren tapir]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong here.

I'm retrieving a machine's held item and trying to increase the LuckLevel of the item's buff by 10.

For example, if an item that gave +1 luck was placed in the machine, it would instead give +11 luck.

[fleet oxide]

updated json https://smapi.io/json/none/2dd4befb11a740619c325eea6a35b78a

i think it's because I do have to warp him in between the farmer's movement and his movement (just like with Pam), and the true condition doesn't like that. But it's harder to get around here because he needs to show up while everyone's moving

[barren tapir]

I also tried using held.ModifyItemBuffs, but that didn't work either

[urban patrol]

find the coordinates of where they collide and/or adjust their speed

i have an event where two characters collide and it took me an hour and a half to do so

just constantly tweaking

[royal stump]

GetFoodOrDrinkBuffs generates new buffs based on the item's data, and they're not stored on the item itself, so modifying them won't do much

the game generates the buffs with that and applies them immediately in Farmer.doneEating

foreach (Buff buff in consumed.GetFoodOrDrinkBuffs())
{
    this.applyBuff(buff);```

[main falcon]

Is there documentation?

or is this it?
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Index

[iron ridge]

docs for what exactly

[main falcon]

everything?

[iron ridge]

There's no one place

Most frameworks have their own docs on their own thing

Main wiki and modding wiki both have fairly general info, but main wiki has docs on the files/smapi things

[lucid iron]

!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.

[lucid iron]

If you have specific idea we can give specific help

[main falcon]

I'll ask when I run into trouble

[fading walrus]

what are you making though, out of curiosity?

[fleet oxide]

I don't think this will solve one of my problems though--how to warp my npc in while the farmer is moving? I've tried using "true" for the farmer's move command before the warp and using SimultaneousCommand and neither of those are working. Is this just a case where what I want to do isn't possible?

[urban patrol]

using move true or advancedMove would let you, yes. you might have to add pause(s) to get the timing right

[fleet oxide]

ok, let me try advancedMove. Using true on the move command was making my NPC walk through the player (almost like he was just bypassing his speak command and going through his next move command)

[urban patrol]

yeah move is tricky

i don’t think anyone is 100% sure of how it’ll act 100% of the time

[fleet oxide]

well that makes me feel a little better, lol

Success!!! Thanks @urban patrol !

[urban patrol]

yay!

[woeful lintel]

FF can do that and some of the other stuff you mentioned, but you'll have to learn how to use json and read through FF's documentation (I have some plan for a ModSmithy extension, but that's gonna take a while to get started).

[lucid iron]

It's ok Leroy i think i need to refactor a bunch of shit to make it nicer to add modules anyway

And that's also gonna be couple months

[twilit quest]

Hey, @brittle pasture? I'm using Custom Builders and I'm having a weird issue with the custom dialogue. I think the code may be bugged for the Instant build dialogue, putting in an extra underscore where there shouldn't be one:

My code doesn't have the double underscore, so I'm not sure where it's coming from.

[past loom]

okay so I fixed that isssue, the map now loads correctly so thank you both! The other issue is that now she isn't spawning there but in the mountains for some reason rather than the custom map :'D Like the x y tiles are exactly as I set them, but instead of appearing at the custom location, she spawns at that tile but in the mountains

[lucid iron]

We should double check the i18n maybe

Like the {{i18n:blah}} side

[twilit quest]

(Here's the code I'm using:
"selph.CustomBuilders_Instant": "So this is where your grandpa's old {2} was...",)

Question, I am doing schedules for my NPCs rn and I have a map that i put to off-limits for pathing because of looping issues and an NPC just went through that map and seems to have broken the rest of his schedule and idk why this happened? there's no lick of info of any kind in the lof either https://smapi.io/log/fa42381579a642dca209a373d108ae76

someone on nexus told me to add iln18 something to my thing how do I do that

do I just put string tokens in my content and somewhere else do the localization

[urban patrol]

do you have any kind of cloud or git fuckery going on maybe

i’ve deleted stuff by accidentally pushing instead of pulling

No, this is built in to Custom Builders

[void aspen]

can I do a boolean config token and then add a When Token = true to my editmap?

basically an option to turn on or off the tmx I overlay on the vanilla map

[verbal glacier]

check pathos' guide but then the tokens section

[ornate trellis]

no clue...but the pathing thing shouldve been there for a long time already

now hes going the right way but hes just stuck here now for some reason?

hm, if the walk to the schedule point takes way too long could it kinda halfway break...? cuz when he should hit his next point he jsut voidwalked off the map...

[verbal glacier]

It shouldn't break they should just immediately go to the next point

[brittle pasture]

yep it's a bug; I'll fix it in a couple mins

should be done; check out the latest version on Nexus

hm, weird. im not too sure why theyre stuck and then voidwalk then...

could you maybe share the .json?

[verbal glacier]

Just to make sure did you blank load their schedule?

[void aspen]

tyy

[urban patrol]

when does he leave to arrive at 1600

[ornate trellis]

oh yeah i have like 15 other npcs that do their thing like they should, its just him who wants to be a butt sigh

[void aspen]

how do I put my update things to my manifest

do I just copy the mods id from nexus

[verbal glacier]

yes

[void aspen]

"UpdateKeys": [44312],

this will work when I update my mods file right

[ornate trellis]

probably way too late for some reason...i especially put the a so he'd arrive there at 4pm but it seems he takes his damn time, ill go check again without interfering with time or standing in his way to be faster to see exactly when he leaves

[modest dagger]

so uh weird issue, my npc isn't centering on the tile properly?

[verbal glacier]

it should

[urban patrol]

if a1600 recalculates to 1100 or earlier it’ll cause issues

[urban patrol]

this happens

[modest dagger]

...can i fix it?

[urban patrol]

not that i know of

[modest dagger]

mother fucker

not u

[urban patrol]

in an event you can offset their position

in a schedule animation too

[modest dagger]

wait i can

that's what the problem is the animation is off centre

[urban patrol]

yeah with miriam i had to adjust her knitting animation because it changes whether she approaches the couch from beneath or above

[modest dagger]

dissect miriam got it

[urban patrol]

making NPCs sit on couches sucks a lot

[void aspen]

okay how do I know if my mod is updated now

[urban patrol]

no you need to specify nexus

look at an example mod

[void aspen]

okay I think I know how

[void aspen]

yus I found it

Added Nexus: before it

[ornate trellis]

its 11:40

[modest dagger]

okay followup question nic how did you determine the offset you needed

trial and error?

[urban patrol]

trial and error and copying charles to start with

yep

[modest dagger]

bugger

[urban patrol]

hmmm okay

is 2 16 a Buildings tile, a warp, or only accessible by walking over a warp?

[void aspen]

is it taking a while to update on the main page or I did something wrong..

[urban patrol]

just wait a bit

and check you updated it on both the file page and the documentation page

also, consider using semantic versioning!

[void aspen]

whats documentation page

[ornate trellis]

no its not, but it as a warps arrival tile would that cause issues?

[urban patrol]

it shouldn’t

[urban patrol]

like where you put your mod description etc

[void aspen]

huh

oh I see

[ornate trellis]

huh...

[void aspen]

like this?

[verbal glacier]

ye

[urban patrol]

yep!

[void aspen]

version 2 looks cooler

[ornate trellis]

WAIT

omg i read the dang coords wrong

oh my lord i switched x and y

[urban patrol]

that would do it!

[ornate trellis]

time to wait a wholeass half day again to see if it works now

[urban patrol]

do you use a fast forward mod

[gentle rose]

they're dangerous for testing because they can be a bit wonky

[void aspen]

world settime

[verbal glacier]

that can break pathing

[gentle rose]

even that I wouldn't use for schedules

[void aspen]

ah

[urban patrol]

i’ve personally only ever noticed issues with sinz’ event tester when testing events not schedules

but yes good caveat

[gentle rose]

ideally (in software in general), you shouldn't test using things that affect what you're testing on in the same way as what you're testing

so if you're testing timing, you should be using as few things that affect timing as possible

[past loom]

hii so my npc doesn't spawn inside her custom location for some reason, even if it's set as her home, doesn't even follow her schedule there either ^^, My bad for asking here so much but I don't have any experience with coding :'D
https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/71119ac05257461789ffe3cd975a580b

[void aspen]

this channel is the exact place you should ask stuff that requires coding a mod

so dont apologize

[urban patrol]

hi! can you try following these steps? https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Troubleshooting:_NPCs

[ornate trellis]

no, well, i sometimes use cjb but i try to keep things natural to rule out that being the issue lol

either way, he is doing his thing now, yippie

[void aspen]

wait uhh do I need to have config json on my nexus page if my content already has the default value

[urban patrol]

like a guide to config options? you can but it’s your choice

[void aspen]

or I just made everyone who gets a new version of my mod have my default now

I suppose whatever

[verbal glacier]

when uploading updates you remove the config

you can indicate a default setting and if they wish to alter that then they can

[modest dagger]

thanks nic, just needed to offset by a pixel or 2

[light jasper]

Hey if I update that PR can I actually get it merged?

[past loom]

I did! Like the weird thing is, she loads into 14 7 tile like I asked but in the Mountains instead of her Custom map, even though the location is set and idk what to do 😭

ran it through the json validator as well and there is no error so I suppose it should be fine

[urban patrol]

yeah, your json looks right at a glance to me

have you patch reloaded and started a new save since adding her spawn point?

also just a heads up, the json validator is great for checking syntax and sharing code, but it’s not smart enough to spot things that are syntactically correct but not working for other reasons. sharing it like you did is the best way to get help though for sure!

[past loom]

well I always restart the game when I make changes, but I was playing in the same save the whole time, does a new save impact things?

[urban patrol]

it can! i’m not sure when spawn points are set but you should try a new save yeah

if it’s still not working then we’ll try a patch export

i got used to having like a hundred junk saves in my files at all times just from starting a new game fifty times a day lol

not everything needs one, but some things like schedules are easier to test by making a new save

[past loom]

okay so made a new save and she spawned where she should have, but she doesn't move-

[urban patrol]

try the troubleshooting steps for schedules!

sorry to redirect you like this, it’s just that i wrote the steps and i’d just be restating the same things lmao

[past loom]

it's okay don't worry ^^

[barren tapir]

I'm trying to change the buffs an item gives. For example, a lucky lunch grants a +3 luck when eaten.

I want a machine that would return an item that instead has a boost of +13 luck (the original luck boost + 10). How would I do that?

[urban patrol]

quick poll—does anyone have a strong preference for what the command should be to link the NPC troubleshooting tutorial?

i’m thinking !npchelp

[wanton pebble]

Hi friends - would anyone know what "Non-static field requires a target" would refer to if a trigger action entry failed to apply? I'm not seeing anything different between a person's Json Validator for adding trigger actions than my own patches, but it's apparently failing. I don't have a full log, but I can request it if needed

[torpid sparrow]

good to me

[modest dagger]

anyone know how to do big animations? 😭

[urban patrol]

spacecore

[uncut viper]

That's not something that can happen from the json itself. That's a C# error

[royal stump]

Probably by transpiling that farmer code, or tracking when it fires and modifying the player's buffs? As far as I know, items don't store any information about buffs. They're just generated in that method and immediately applied to the farmer.

[uncut viper]

Would need the full log and whatever custom trigger action they were trying to use

[wanton pebble]

Oh thank goodness, so it wouldn't be DNR. I was really confused when my patches were just fine but theirs was bugging out

The fun part is there wasn't any custom triggers in there, just the normal ones

At least in the template. Now, in their mods, diff story

[uncut viper]

Some other mod could be changing things. Or Android weirdness if that's relevant

[twilit quest]

@brittle pasture Not as imperative, but there is a small issue with the documentation for Custom Builder as well.
This should be: This should be Character/Dialogue/<NpcName>

[modest dagger]

is that how SBV does it?

[uncut viper]

Either way, not your problem without a full log

[urban patrol]

idk, that’s how i do it

[wanton pebble]

Both are plausible - I only requested their json validator stuff. I'll let you know and come back to this once I have a full log to parse with

[uncut viper]

(and still probably not after but it'd be clear)

[wanton pebble]

hopefully the log will just let me know what's happening so I won't have to bug you guys on it much

[barren tapir]

Dammit, so way beyond my current capabilities 😅

Thanks. I was able to do at least 2/3's of my original goal with my first harmony patch.

[royal stump]

yeah, you could probably get the machine to add a "give +10 luck" flag to an item's modData, but applying it is beyond their jurisdiction

[verbal glacier]

SBV doesn't list spacecore as a requirement on nexus

tho ripley does which I think is one with a big animation sprite

[past loom]

yeah so I checked and I think I did everything and it doesn't work :'D

[modest dagger]

Elias has one and so does Jonghyuk so they do it somehow without spacecore

[ornate trellis]

sbv has some own c#

either way spacecore is also how i personally make fishmonger fish

[past loom]

like I don't use load because of the tokens but I checked the editdata and I think it should be okay? I also slept and it's in a new save and it still doesn't work

[verbal glacier]

did you load your NPC's schedule and dialogue through a blank.json?

[modest dagger]

alright so learn spacecore, got it. Thank ye void (and nic)

[void aspen]

teehee

[ornate trellis]

its pretty easyx to do tbh theres a template for it

https://gist.github.com/spacechase0/55f5b8b75a47b5d4d6f790609f48d20c here

[modest dagger]

anyone ever tell u ur amazing void

[past loom]

well I don't use the load function because of the tokens so I changed it to be the editdata

[ornate trellis]

not that often, but i take what i can get

[verbal glacier]

make a file called blank.json have it just be { } and then in your content.json do action: load, target: Characters/schedules/YourNPC also for dialogue

and then fromfile: blank.json

[past loom]

like this right?

[verbal glacier]

if you put your blank.json in assets then yes!

[past loom]

yup that works! Thank you so much guys <3

[latent mauve]

Nice, congrats on your working NPC!

[past loom]

thank you! Only took me like... a week to have her somewhat working :'D Still a lot to be done but I will try to conquer events next

[verbal glacier]

Good luck!

[void aspen]

Does content supports basic math?

[urban patrol]

what do you want to do

[void aspen]

Something like

...
 "SpriteIndex": {{StyleNumber}} - 1,
...```

[urban patrol]

i think you can use a query for that but i’m not sure

[void aspen]

Where Style number is a config thingy

[urban patrol]

why not just tell people to start counting from zero

[void aspen]

Oh wait I can do that and then do When {{StyleNumber}} = Last Number ill do the index 0 ig

[urban patrol]

you can’t use = like that

[void aspen]

I know that was just an example

[urban patrol]

oh ok

keep in mind this will require several patches

[void aspen]

yah

tyy

[lucid iron]

i would just make the style number correct tbh

why not 0 index them from the start?

[void aspen]

It kinda makes me uncomfortable to add 0 as allowed value

https://tenor.com/view/embarrassed-boo-ghost-gif-13095373

[lucid iron]

you can change the display name tho

i am local 1-index hater

[urban patrol]

users may not be able to read but you can tell them to kick rocks if they ignore your config instructions

[void aspen]

havent gotten to display name part

my config display name is the tokens name

[lucid iron]

yea im saying that u can change the values to show 0 as "Style 1" if u want

[void aspen]

Ohh right

thats even better

tyy

[twilit quest]

Hello again, folks! I'm wondering if it's possible to change BuildingType when upgrading. Here's the issues:
We want the player to start with a broken fish pond. With a Coop, you can say it houses 0 animals, but with a fish pond the types of fish allowed are in the fish data - too much to edit. So we're starting with a "broken" fish pond which is not BuildingType fish pond. This disallows putting fish into the pond, and also doesn't show the water overlay. However, when we have the player "Upgrade" the fish pond to a true fish pond, it's not working correctly, we think because it's not changing the BuildingType.

[lucid iron]

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/config.md#translations

u want the config.<name>.values.<value> keys

[void aspen]

btww

finally updated this

the issue is that I just added the update keys so a lot of people wont see it

😭

[urban patrol]

i think it's a rite of passge to fuck up the update key at least once for any given mod author

[fading walrus]

Want it showcased?

[lucid iron]

i dont rly know what u can do about that besides C# stuff tbh

[void aspen]

yuss please but let me do a proper post here then

wait nexus didnt update my preview yet

ugh

[fading walrus]

Sure! I'll showcase the proper post then

[lucid iron]

maybe if u just have the broken pond be map

[void aspen]

its old one

[fading walrus]

Aw

[lucid iron]

and remove the map patch after a pond is built

[fading walrus]

Yeah it might take a few minutes

[void aspen]

ill lyk when it does 🙏

or someone else

it took several hours for my old mod to get the updated preview on nexus

smh

[urban patrol]

nexus is currently having a bug with images and thumbnails

that’s a weird way to phrase that. there is currently a bug

[lucid iron]

if u just post image here it'll work

also u can be orange now if u want

[void aspen]

That would be super super nice

[void aspen]

Can I just put the image along the mod link?

[lucid iron]

dm bouncer and make wiki acc

[void aspen]

ightt one min

[lucid iron]

ya

[stuck marlin]

Would it be possible to make it a fish pond but unable to accept fishes similar to how you can limit the animals inside the coop without code?

[void aspen]

Updated my silly cat cursors mod to have even more different types to choose from!
Currently planning to do the same mod but with all the npcs as well, any feedback and ideas are helpful 🩷
(GMCM mod is super recommended to easily choose anything with the config menu as well for the best experience!)
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/44336

omgg I may be a bot I DONT remember 😭

[lucid iron]

its not exposed to the data, so no you cannot

[stuck marlin]

I see, thank you!

[verbal glacier]

shane

[void aspen]

oh it didnt use the new image

[fading walrus]

Showcased! Congratulations on the update!

[void aspen]

tyysm

[fading walrus]

You included the new image anyway it's fine!

[lucid iron]

if u really wanted to do it u can patch FishPond.isLegalFishForPonds

[fading walrus]

Ah but it doesn't show in the showcase blergh

[lucid iron]

that'd be a C# thing but relatively speaking not that bad

[lucid iron]

i forgor to mention u need to use <link>

[void aspen]

arrr

I see

any way we could delete the showcase and show it again?

[void aspen]

I forgot this thing exists

did it now

[twilit quest]

Also, @brittle pasture, for additional bug reports on Custom Builders, would you prefer them here, DM'd, on Nexus, or somewhere else? What is best for you?

[verbal glacier]

I think you'd need to send a ticket via Bouncer for that

[void aspen]

oh

well I guess it stays like this

yay

[uncut viper]

Cheeto

[void aspen]

[verbal glacier]

Congrats!

[void aspen]

omg I got two bonus points as well yay

[brittle pasture]

got it, I'll fix it later!

[brittle pasture]

either is fine, though Discord is more preferrable

[valid folio]

Hello, is there anywhere I can see how to edit data for objects like fruits, vegetables, etc.? I think the code was something like this, right?

"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Data/Crops",
"Fields": {

[twilit quest]

Thank you. ^_^ It seems like Upgrades are taking 3 days with Custom Builders even when I set the number to something else. I originally had it at 1, and then I set it to 0 to try to get an instant build, and both times it took three days. It may be related to the fact that the building being upgraded to is a vanilla coop (ie Custom Building -> Vanilla Coop)

[brittle pasture]

can you show code

[twilit quest]

@brittle pasture We were also wondering if there might be a way to change the BuildingType with Custom Builders when upgrading. I detailed the issue here: #making-mods-general message and chu said that it will probably require C# coding. I was wondering if it's something Custom Builders might be able to handle now or someday. ^_^;

[gaunt orbit]

It's theoretically possible, but unlike with items, buildings don't have a standardized way of copying state from one instance to another

Also like, there's no standardized way to "clean up" a replaced building, only demolition, which could have side effects on some buildings

[barren tapir]

How would you get the ObjectData class for a given Object?

[uncut viper]

ItemRegistry.GetDataOrErrorItem() and then the RawData field on the resulting ParsedItemData

[elder scarab]

Guys, can someone help me with this problem? Even using the location data code, it's not working. As you can see, it reverts to the original map and doesn't switch to the new one New map

When it's my turn, nobody answers.

[void aspen]

How different mobile modding from pc one I wonder

[void aspen]

Are you able to access the smapi logs and see if they have any error message that could hint the issue?

Usually that happens when you don't do a new location data entry or if you do it wrong

[elder scarab]

Could you send me the link to smapi logs and instructions on how to use it?

[void aspen]

No idea how it's done on mobile, that's the issue 💔
Hopefully someone else could pick this up

[elder scarab]

Send me the website link and then I'll research what it's like.

[void aspen]

!log

[ocean sail]

Important note: Your computer username may appear in the log. If your username is your full name, please be aware of this before uploading it.

To use this command, type !log.

[void aspen]

There's the android option too

[barren tapir]

Yall, some hilarious stuff happens when you have a +101 to speed

[torpid sparrow]

oh i just realized, I should probably add in i18n for my config tokens

will i18n work for those?

[gaunt heath]

Yep! It's handled slightly different though

The content patcher docs have instructions, you can also grab my blåhaj if you want a recent example since their configs are nice and simple

[torpid sparrow]

yay thanks

[modest dagger]

if people want i18n for any mod i make i will add but i will not add preemptively bc lazy

[gaunt heath]

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/config.md#translations

[torpid sparrow]

?

ok everythig deleted

except for the question mark

i am not confused

i was trying to ask a question

ill try again

[gaunt heath]

It's really easy to do, and a few translators crawl the new releases. I'd recommend it if you're interested in getting translations in general

[gaunt heath]

I was like "damn idk how to explain the docs" lmao

[torpid sparrow]

if im understanding correctly, i just add to my default i18n with the correct naming structure?

i dont have to do anything to my configs in content?

[gaunt heath]

Yep! You don't change anything about the config section in your content.json, you just add corresponding entries to your i18n

[torpid sparrow]

great love that

ill do that after dinner

[gaunt heath]

Also pure true/false fields don't necessarily need translations because they're a checkbox in game. But true, false, secret third thing does need translations

[torpid sparrow]

ok great!

thanks kailey :3

[barren tapir]

I managed to modify the buff of the item in the machine... kinda.

Currently this modifies all instances of the object. Is there a way I could do this on only the object in the machine?

[urban patrol]

you're not super likely to find help with android modding here since it's different than desktop. you can join the thai stardew discord if you'd like (the android SMAPI developer is there) or otherwise figure out a way to share your log here, but nobody is ignoring you out of malice

[void aspen]

Timezones is a thing as well

[torpid sparrow]

if i set friendship requirement to like 40000 will it prevent an event from triggering?

[verbal glacier]

what event are you trying to prevent?

[torpid sparrow]

just a regular one

its not finished i need it to not trigger

[verbal glacier]

can it be done with a when?

or just with // and make the event a comment until it is done

[torpid sparrow]

oh true it is a single line

[drowsy pewter]

I thought I added the tree names but did not merge your pr. let me chdck

Like i added the tree names but at the time ui2 wasnt updated so there was no effect

[ornate trellis]

is tree names finally gonna happen? im still wondering how only my fruit ones work but not the wild trees safdasfsd

[marsh reef]

where would i find the dimentions of the hitbox and visual portion of the farm house?

[brave fable]

Data/Buildings 🙂‍↕️

Size and CollisionMap show the dimensions and hitbox (in tiles), and SourceRect covers the visuals (in pixels)

[modest dagger]

maps hard

it works, but at what cost

[brittle pasture]

it was indeed another bug with Custom Builders; can you try this version? thanks for the catch!
(if you have any further bugs I'd greatly appreciate it; I'll probably release this in a couple days since it also contains an important fix for another issue)

[marsh reef]

what mod(s) would i need to use to change the collision map?

and location of mailbox

[brave fable]

content patcher should suffice, you can use Action: EditDatawith Fields to edit only certain fields of the Farmhouse entry without replacing them all, e.g.
https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/action-editdata.md#edit-a-dictionary
except your case would likely appear with these fields:```json
{
"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Data/Buildings",
"Fields": {
"Farmhouse": {
"Texture": "Mods/{{ModId}}_MySmallFunnyHouse",
"SourceRect": { "X": 0, "Y": 0, "Width": 32, "Height": 32 },
"Size": "2 2",
"CollisionMap": "XX\nOO"
}
}
}

which would give you a 2x2 tile house with a 2x2 tile sprite where the bottom two tiles are passable, assuming you also Load a sprite to that Texture using Target

unless of course someone chimes in and tells me the farmhouse can't be edited in this way until 1.7 in n+1 years from now

[twilit quest]

Awesome, I'll install this version right now. I'll let you know any more bugs as soon as I come across them. ^_^ Thank you so much for the quick fix!

[marsh reef]

with a door 3 tiles to the RIGHT 🙂‍↕️

okok, thank you 🫡

[brave fable]

oh of course, the mailbox. you'll find the relevant fields on the same Farmhouse entry, there's several parts to it.
AdditionalPlacementTiles, ActionTiles, DrawLayers is probably all of them, though you'll find more specific coordinates in the same entry you'll likely want to change

[ornate drift]

would it be better to make my bears event focused on how the townsfolk would warm up to him rather than interacting with the player themselves

[verbal glacier]

You can do both, it really depends on how you want players to experience your character

[ornate drift]

realistically most humans would be terrified of a walking bear around town lmao

[torpid sparrow]

i mean

there IS a talking bear

and it walks just not upright

[verbal glacier]

• manny seems like a friendly bear

[twilit quest]

@brittle pasture The new version is working for upgrade timing! At least for instant build, which is the only thing I've tested so far. ^_^

[ornate drift]

he lives in the secret forest

so its not like anyone knows him

[torpid sparrow]

true

[verbal glacier]

I think most of the townsfolk would be open to a bear who bakes them delicious stuff

[ornate drift]

yeah buuut like
i mean interaction wise theyd have to get familiar with him

Vincent and Jas would be terrified at first glance, thats why im setting up an event with Vincent

[verbal glacier]

is he moving in then he might have to get familiar or has he been reclusive up until now, otherwise you could write him as a friendly face in town

[ornate drift]

the former

[verbal glacier]

well it might be nice to initially have manny interact with the townsfolk in an event and in another he meets the farmer, often it is the farmer that has to be included first so it might be a nice change of pace

[ornate drift]

that would be nice yeah

[opal glen]

I thought I finally sorted out the errors I was getting when trying to load my mod, only for me to try starting a new save, having it get stuck on a black screen, and generating thousands of smapi errors because I somehow deleted the mountain???

[torpid sparrow]

uhh were u editing maps

[opal glen]

I'm just trying to mess around with crab pots
