what are you trying to do exactly?

#

if you just want to insert one entry into Mountain's FishAreas list use TargetField

opal glen
brittle pasture
#

alternatively just switching "Entries" to "Fields" would make your code work, but it won't be compatible with any mods that do the same thing

opal glen
#

I'm trying to add another crab pot fish type

#

I have no idea if that will even work, but I'm trying to get it to the point where I can even load the mod even if it's ineffective

this should do what you want if it doesn't fixing it is an exercise left to the reader

opal glen
#

I'm trying to change more locations than just the mountain. Not sure what's the least clunky way to do a similar edit for all of them

brittle pasture
#

there's local tokens which eliminate some repetition

#

ngl I'd just put my fish into freshwater

opal glen
#

I might end up just doing that. I mostly want to see if it works or not! The mod overall is a large and ambitious project for me and I'm learning a lot in the process of making it

#

so even if I go in a different direction, I'll still have learned something

marsh reef
#

just a yes or no so i dont gotta look through the whole wiki to figure it out, you can use AT on the farmhouse yes?

verbal glacier
#

yes

marsh reef
#

can the farmhouse be classified differently between upgrades? or for things i want to all be the same i just need all them to have the same first 2?

I tried a dynamic token at first, but I'm pretty sure I was setting it up wrong ^^' I wasn't sure how to have it so it could tell if it was an Evelyn location vs. Leah's

twilit quest
#

@brittle pasture I'm wondering if there is a way to limit what appears in the Custom Builder Dialogue menu based on specific criteria.
Currently the menu has two items: Add Broken version of Coop and Upgrade broken version of coop to Coop. If the Upgrade option is chosen when there is no Broken version of the Coop on the farm map, the game throws a "divide by zero" error. Is there a way to force a check for a particular builder to see if they have any building options, and not show their dialogue option if there are none? I can send or DM the specific code I'm using if you want.

tiny zealot
#

an Action: Include gated by a check is my other standby. i tend to use that one if the condition requires a bunch of changes to patches (like with SVE, typically)

Hello, I am working on a custom farm map for myself on the riverlands, however I broke all the walkways and can't seem to find how to fix this issue?

latent mauve
#

So, I've been messing around with creating farmhouse skins and I am noticing that the chimney smoke isn't moving as intended, even if I change the chimney value of the building in the skin Metadata field-- anyone know why this might behave oddly?

It is worth noting that:

  • Before changing skins at all, the smoke appears in the correct place.
  • Changing to a skin with the chimney in the same space results in the smoke being off by about one tile even if no chimney position value is set.
  • Once the skin is changed, even if you revert to the base/vanilla skin, the chimney smoke is incorrectly placed.
#

Changing the chimney value in the skin also appeared to do nothing.

(For any mod authors who might have an interest in it: the latest version of Festival Nudge now lets you specify backup/secondary/tertiary/as-many-as-you-want-iary locations for your NPC to be moved to in case it overlaps with someone else.)

I think so

latent mauve
#

the water tiles under the bridge may be part of it if you have changed those at all

twilit quest
#

@cedar shell The reason why the bridges on this map are passable, even though they are on the building layer, is because they have special tile data baked in. So, for example, if you open the original Farm_Fishing.tmx in Tiled, go to "Tilesets" in the lower right corner, click on the third Tileset tab (untitled tile sheet), and click on one of the bridge tiles (like the one next to the tower halfway down on the right side), you will see that it has a Custom Property of "Passable: T". Hang on a second and I'll get you a screenshot.

#

@cedar shell

image.png image.png
#

Those are from the right and left sides of the Tiled screen

grim latch
#

is there any SDV mod about Diablo?

brittle pasture
#

so you can do something like "if no coop on farm don't show the entry"

twilit quest
#

If your Tileset doesn't have that "Passable" property assigned to those tiles, it won't work. In order to have that property, you either need to add it yourself, or start with a map that already has them in it.

twilit quest

#

ah okay, I see what happened now, my tilesheets were broken and in fixing them I lost that so I need to readd. Thank you so much!

brittle pasture
# twilit quest Yes. Do you want to see the code?

that can be useful, but it's not strictly necessary
basically the DialogueEntryData model will have one more field named Condition which can accept any GSQ; if the GSQ's false the entry doesn't show up

Allow me to recommend the really excellent tool by Irocender that allows you to fix Stardew tilesheets without having them in the same folder: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/40281

Nexus Mods :: Stardew Valley
Tilesheetinator - Tiled Tilesheet Linker Extension for Stardew

Also, if you have to go and add the Passable property to a bunch of tiles, you may just want to start with a fresh version of the Riverlands map so you don't have to do that. ^_^; Also, there is another way to selectively add Passability by adding it as independent TileData (like those squares you see that say "TileData"). This allows you to add a property without adding it to EVERY instance of that tile on the map, instead adding it only to the selected area. Hit me up if you need more explanation.

@twilit quest try this; it has the new Condition field so you can set your builder dialogue entry's condition to "if have coop"

📎 CustomBuilders_1.3.4.zip
twilit quest
brittle pasture
#

yeah you have to
I can try an alt fix as well (not yet in the version above); it would involve the carpenter menu showing a dummy entry that says "no building available" if there's no other buildings

#

it's the most straightforward and forward compatible fix that doesn't involve me reimplementing much of the vanilla code

twilit quest
#

@brittle pasture I think this syntax is correct:
"Condition": "BUILDINGS_CONSTRUCTED Farm BrokenCoop",
Gonna go test it now

#

@brittle pasture Looks like it's working!

brittle pasture
#

nice! meanwhile I'm still brainstorming the other fix and every solution so far makes me want to cry blood why does a blueprint entry store its own index why is this info not part of the carpenter menu

Then choose the Rectangle tool:

image.png
#

Select the area you want to apply the property to. I used to do this square by square, but recently I've been doing it by area and so far it's worked fine.

image.png
#

Once you have the area created, a very, VERY important step is to name it TileData. It won't work unless it's named TileData:

#

Then go to the bottom left where it says "Add Property" and click the Plus sign:

image.png
#

This will make a new custom property that will apply to the selection. You can click the dropdown menu next to it to choose the kind of property you want. Most of Stardew uses "string", even for True/False options. "Bool" would probably work find for this, too.

#

Under Property Name, type "Passable"

image.png
#

Then fill in the box with "T":

image.png
#

This selected TileData on the Buildings Object Layer is now marked Passable, which means that even though it should technically be blocked (since there are items on the Buildings layer) you can walk right over it. This will let you walk through things regardless of what you put on the Buildings Layer, so be careful where you apply it.

#

P.S. Note how the area now has "TileData" on it. If it doesn't, then double check the name. Remember, without being named "TileData", it will not work:

Excuse me, I encountered some issues when creating a high-definition avatar replacement module for a content package.
I don't know how to use a 500x500 avatar in the game. Because there are many custom requirements (such as different seasons and events using different avatars), this feature may not be able to use existing mod.

Does anyone know how to implement this function? Thank you very much

When they're unpacked or exported they get turned into individual tiles, but making rectangles with them is also acceptable.

#

is it possible to use harmony patch a harmony patch method in other mods?

uncut viper
#

Do you mean to patch code in another mod's dll? Yeah, you can do that, you just need to make sure you get the full qualified name of what you wanna patch

#

You don't have to do typeof(Thing) to tell Harmony what to patch, there are overloads that accept strings. Or you can find the type with AccessTools.GetType() or something

main sky
#

i mean i want to patch another author's patches. for example, an author use postfix to change a method's return value but i want to keep the value, can i use a postfix to change the author's postfix?

uncut viper
#

Yeah, thats the same as what I just described

#

A patch is just a method after all

#

You would just be targeting the method they themselves gave to Harmony

#

You could alternatively just make your own postfix whose priority makes it go just before theirs, store the value before they change it, and then restore it in a different postfix that goes after theirs

main sky
#

ok thx

Hi, I am very new to this and am barely passable at coding. I am making a mod where I pull data about seeds - including fruit trees and bush saplings (both vanilla and modded for all). I have it pulling data for the seeds and fruit trees but am having issues getting data on custom bushes (specifically testing with cornucopia more crops which uses custom bush). I have successfully loaded the custom bush api but it seems to only give me data about the bush terrain feature, not the bush sapling. I can get the bush sapling ID, which can point to the bush ID, but then I do not seem to be able to get further with getting data about the bush via the api. Is there some way to make the connection or otherwise get that data? Thank you!

I have some tiles on a custom map that are still passable despite being on a buildings layer. What are some reasons why that might still be the case? Or could the reason be because I forgot to add the matching objects layers (I just noticed lol)?

put invisible tiles in the same place on the buildings layer

so even if i add 'draw: buildings' it doesn't really help?

you can use Passable T on the Back layer to mark it impassable

Passable T works as intended on Buildings but on Back its the opposite

#

I wonder if other layers support Passable properties

merry river
#

i'll try adding invisible tiles then or else my entire map will look botched

brave fable
#

if 'as intended' is 'invert the passable rule for this layer' then it's working as intended

void aspen
#

fair enough

#

still pretty confusing when you first meet it

brave fable
#

i avoid invisible buildings tiles wherever possible to reduce misplaced invisible tile issues down the line, i'd rather break my sprites into different layers

#

if i'm using invisible tiles it's usually going to be from a specific tile in the spritesheet that's hot pink in the editor until i hide the layer and export

#

makes it easier to reveal them later (visualising collisions, finding misplaced tiles)

void aspen
#

Sometimes when I study vanilla maps I start to think that CA itself has no idea how this whole map thing works and also just play with layers to make it work

cuz yeah sometimes its not avoidable

Hello! I have a few questions (again) 1: What kinds of things should I make sure I include in my npcs house? I know I definitely need a bedroom and kitchen (is there a way I can make the kitchen actually usable, too?), but is there anything else I should add? Two: how do I actually add the house into the game? (It's not done yet, but I was just curious!) How do I make the doors and add lighting? Three: does anyone know if there are stair tile thingys? Like in the farmhouse? (At least, I think that's what it's meant to be-) Because I wanna make my character have like a two-story kinda house. Four: does anyone have any recommendations for how to make the outside of the house? I keep not liking anything I'm doing SDVpufferchickcry And five: how do I make a spouse room/patio thing? Sorry for all the questions!

  1. depends on you. my list is: bed, fireplace, kitchen, some sort of sitting area with a couch and table. then i add whatever is needed for hobbies. If you have an idea of what ur npc's hobbies are, i can give some design suggestions. I love interior decorating. You can make the kitchen usable, yes
  2. you'll need to load a map, and create a new location, then add the appropriate warps to get into ur house
#
  1. should be in townInterior tilesheet
  2. are you drawing an exterior from scratch?
  3. new maps that you will load into the game, can help you with the code once ur done. the spouse room size is 6x9 and patio i believe is 4x4

# stoic chasm Hello! I have a few questions (again) 1: What kinds of things should I make sure...

Start with an existing map that's something like what you want. Look at the Map Properties for things like lighting. For an NPC house, you actually need to add two locations: the outside of the house (which can be tricky, because a lot of different mods edit or add to vanilla maps) and the inside of the house. I recommend looking at other modded NPCs that have their own living space to see how other folks have done it. For things like lighting, that's built into the Map Properties.
My favorite resource for building maps is this one: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Maps It will give you a LOT of info.

CA gives all of us permission to use game assets

#

Oooh okay

twilit quest
# stoic chasm That makes sense, it is their art so

One thing you can do, though, is use tilesheets someone else created in a map you make. You can't change that art, but you can build with it in Tiled as long as you make that tilesheet mod a requirement for the player. So there is a lot available for map builders. For example:
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9599
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/20139
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/36102 This one even has buildings you can use!

#

If you search Nexus for "Tilesheet", you'll find a whole bunch of options that give you everything from pathing to foliage to building pieces.

#

(You're probably already familiar with DaisyNiko's Tilesheets if you've played modded Stardew at all XD)

torpid sparrow
#

i think they said they wanted to create it

twilit quest
#

Now again, you can't put this art into paint and change it (unless you have the permission of the creator) but you can put it into Tiled and drop it in a map. Tiled also lets you do things like flip and rotate tiles, so you have a certain amount of flexibility. (I used this to good effect in Broken Farmhouse, for example, to make it look like a lighting fixture was dangling.)

@brittle pasture I was thinking more about Custom Builders this morning. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about anything here; I'm talking through this as a way to make sure I understand it. In Vanilla, Robin is hard coded not to show an upgrade as an available option unless the base building is already on the farm. Custom Builders works differently: a builder will show all options that the builder is capable of building, even if the base is not available. I can create a series of GSQs with OR statements such that the menu will not display if NONE of the base options are there. But if the same builder can upgrade multiple types of buildings, and if even one is available, then the builder's full menu of options will display when clicked on, correct? (ie if Lewis can help upgrade Broken Coop OR Broken Barn OR Broken Shed, and if Broken Barn exists on the farm, then all three options will be available on the menu). I thnk you said that you already put in a catch so that if the player clicks on an upgrade and the base isn't available, it will tell the player that the base building doesn't exist instead of throwing the divide by zero error, right?

Quick question regarding when you add something to a map. It changes the map size if it goes off the edge, but if you do that on the left, does that mess with the coordinates of other events and paths?

Hello, how are you? I want to do this. I want to create my own seasonal Sweet Gem Berry, meaning the fruit has a different sprite depending on the season, not the original one, but mine. Instead of creating three separate objects, I’d like my custom Sweet Gem Berry crop to change its sprite based on the season. Is this possible, or do I have to create three different objects, one for each season? I know this can be done with the vanilla Sweet Gem Berry using an image edit, right? But what if the item is from a mod?

tiny zealot
#

once an item is loaded into the game, there's no difference between it and a vanilla item, and in fact there's no fully reliable way to tell that an item is from a mod (or a particular mod). so you would patch a modded item the same way you patch a vanilla one, and the only difference is what assets you patch (and sometimes how)

void aspen
#

pretty dark huh

image.png
#

thought my map didnt load

tiny zealot
#

you also have to make sure your edits come after the mod you're targeting (so that their item exists by the time your patches run), but that's very straightforward

valid folio
valid folio
lucid iron
#

Even numeric ids are strings now

#

You should take advantage of the fact that they are string when making your own item ofc

tiny zealot
#

but yes you use the modded item's id and use EditImage on its assets and so on. you'll need to read the mod in question to figure out what to do

tiny zealot
# valid folio I didn’t quite understand that part.

the short version is SMAPI has to apply edits one at a time, in some order, and you can control where in the order your edit goes by giving SMAPI a number about it. if you want to edit SomeMod.MyBanana, you have to give SMAPI a later number than SomeMod.MyBanana uses

valid folio
# lucid iron Even numeric ids are strings now

I’m not very familiar with programming terminology yet, I still don’t fully understand terms like array and string. I usually learn things by repetition, I learn how to do them but I don’t always know why they’re done that way haha

valid folio
valid folio
tiny zealot
#

well

#

if it's a mod you didn't make (the putative SomeMod.MyBanana), you would read the mod's json or source code and get it from there

verbal glacier
tiny zealot
#

if it's your mod then all the stuff about edit order doesn't matter, you're in control

valid folio
verbal glacier
valid folio
tiny zealot
#

if you didn't specify one (generally a good idea not to unless you need to), it is Default for edits and Exclusive for loads

#

within your own mod, you do not need to specify priorities except in narrow circumstances (see below). the order you list your patches in your content.json/included jsons determines the order they apply

valid folio
tiny zealot
#

the narrow circumstances: if you are blank Loading a shared asset that is in the global namespace (i.e. other mods might need to Load it and it isn't fully controlled by you), you should use any priority for your Load other than Exclusive.
for example: you need to Load something (an empty json, {}, is best) to Data/Events/AdventureGuild if you want to put an event in there, since it is missing in vanilla (no events are staged there). that is a global shared asset, so you should set your priority on the blank load to something not-default. it is customary to use Low but any value other than Exclusive is fine

I have a question. Will the harvested fruit’s sprite change as well? I mean, will the one in the inventory change with each season? My idea was that the sprite would depend on the season in which it was harvested, but if the inventory item changes too, that would be too weird even for my mod. So I guess I’ll apply the change to the crop in the ground instead, which makes more sense, since the plant can change its appearance with the season while the fruit stays the same.

tiny zealot
#

not too familiar with crops but i'm fairly sure the inventory item is a totally different texture/object than the growing crop sprites so you can do whatever you want. they're not inherently linked

My idea was to change the fruit sprite, but since the inventory fruit and the fruit harvested from the plant are the same object, I assume the sprite will change even after it's harvested. So to keep things simpler, I'll apply the seasonal changes to the plant, which makes more sense, and the harvestable item will remain the base game fruit.

Thanks Ichortower and @verbal glacier for clearing up my doubts.

How do I get tilesheet index with my custom ts

latent mauve
#

I have a question if anyone knows when the Building data is determined: I have skins that I have created for the farmhouse, and each has its own Metadata with values for the Chimney position as I am still trying to fix the smoke not lining up. Does this get updated visually every time the skin is changed, is it a location change, a day change, etc.?

modest dagger
latent mauve
#

So far I've not seen it change, so I am trying to make sure that I am not just expecting a location change when it's only set in the morning or something.

void aspen
#

huh it was zero but its some number now

#

interesting

latent mauve
#

The only exception is when you have tilesheets that actually use the size of the object defined elsewhere to determine the width and height of the sprite index so they can sometimes be bigger than 16x16 (like NPCs)

void aspen
#

thats something different in this context me thinks

#

from someones other code

image.png
#

that 3rd number

#

is always the same

#

so its not the tile number its something else

#

im doing nighttiles for the first time so its super confusing rn

ornate trellis
#

nightiles is jsut like daytiles which is described on the wiki page

#

the layer you put is the one the tile you want changed is on, then its the coords, then the last number is the tile in the spritesheet you want to use the asset from is on

#

which is the same because i assume you are looking at a window tile or lamp or something similar which is jsut one tile big so its ofc always the same number

mellow laurel
void aspen
#

oh

latent mauve
void aspen
#

so nighttiles make 907th tile appear past 7pm

#

in this context

#

and daytiles are basically the same but they appear before 7pm

@spice inlet hi is there a GSQ or API to tell if current location is a PIF

#

Or any given location

spice inlet
#

PIF room location names follow a specific pattern: DLX.PIF_MINE_{layout id}_{farmerId}_{doorId}

#

so just check for that I suppose

#

there's also a few custom location modData entries

#

could check for them, though imo the name is more reliable and simpler

#

do you need a GSQ for that? I can add one in the next update

lucid iron
#

The thing i wanted to use it for is Merchant, I'd like to check this and then know to use the PIF entry warp for where to queue customers

latent mauve
#

So, for anyone curious, I figured out something about the chimney issue on the farmhouse skins: Saving and reloading the game the day after assigning the skin makes the chimney smoke redraw in the correct position as set by the skin's Metadata.

#

Just sleeping doesn't change the position, but reloading the game after a save (so the game loads with the building skin already applied) does.

#

It's just a bit weird, because even if I draw the chimney in the correct space and don't set the chimney position, the smoke draws in the wrong spot until those steps are completed.

Monthly mod stats time!

Mod compatibility

83.5% of SMAPI (C#) mods are compatible or have a workaround, up from 82.5% last month.

Unique mods by type

We have 805 more mods this month (compared to our typical average of 398/month). That was probably driven by Nexus Mods' Stardew Valley Modfest, which just finished a few days ago. That's the biggest single-month increase since Stardew Valley 1.6.0 (when we had 1060 new mods in a month). So it seems that event was a big success!

That includes:

  • +470 Content Patcher;
  • +196 SMAPI (C#);
  • +61 Alternative Textures;
  • +31 Fashion Sense;
  • +10 Farm Type Manager;
  • +7 XNB;
  • +4 Furniture Framework;
  • +3 Mail Framework Mod;
  • 0 Better Artisan Good Icons;
  • 0 Custom Furniture;
  • 0 Dynamic Game Assets;
  • 0 TMXL;
  • -1 Shop Tile Framework;
  • -4 Json Assets;
  • -4 Producer Framework Mod;
  • and +32 for frameworks with <100 content packs.

Content Patcher packs

We have 14,137 Content Patcher packs.

The top five Format versions remain...

  • 2.0 (3996 ↗ 4094), 2.3 (891 ↗ 907), 2.4 (667 ↘ 590), and 2.8 (844 ↗ 1064) for Stardew Valley 1.6;
  • and 1.19 (570 ↗ 572) for Stardew Valley 1.4.

Open source

  • We have 4,387 tracked C# mods, of which
  • 2,513 mods (57%) have a source code repo, with
  • 1,332 (53%) in a multi-mod repo and 1,181 (47%) in a single-mod repo.

The percentage of C# mods which are open source continued its steady decline this month (from 58% to 57%), probably related to the wave of closed-source AI-generated mods. The percentage has been consistently dropping by one point per month for the last several months.

Web costs

And finally, web hosting costs for the SMAPI.io site, update-check server, and API dropped slightly to US$199/month. (The graph is always a bit behind due to billing cycles.)

And that's it for this month! Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Does smaller frameworks exclude frameworks that work via content patcher? Like nature in the valley or secret note framework, which don't have their own contentpackfor field

uncut viper

Yes, those are not counted

That list only includes contentpackfor frameworks

(small nitpick also but those don't technically work via CP, they just work via the content pipeline. CP can access that, but so can any C# mod)

That's pretty cool to know. Thanks!

an accurate nitpick, though. It'd be interesting to find a way to highlight small framework mods that work via the content pipeline.

If you've already clicked the Star to set it as the primary image, that's the most you can do on your end.

it looks like the new ui

does that one have a star?

ah, I haven't gotten the new UI yet, then

I'm in this section, "Manage Mod" and then "Media"

(if gymnastic is on the beta UI, that's even more likely that it's a Nexus issue)

i don't know, but if your handle contains "teen" and/or you verified your age with the site (which is located in the UK), they may know or have guessed how old you are and acted accordingly

that certainly makes it sound like they have guessed you are not 18

i read a comment on a mod saying that the user could not see the embedded imagur photos on the modpage description because of age verification stuff in the UK

#

I wonder if that kind of thing is why I’ve seen some people put those mod page photos in the media section of their mods? Because when you do that, the image is being hosted on nexus. Not a perfect solution I feel, but it’s interesting

yeah imgur is unusable in the UK (and some other countries)

would anyone know why my mod keeps making a data folder with a .save file in it? in the mod's folder

unsure if that's normal with a FTM mod

royal stump
# spark wharf unsure if that's normal with a FTM mod

FTM packs always create a folder like your FTM pack folder/data with one .save file for each loaded save
they're json files that keep info about weather and what spawns will reappear overnight
the folder's safe to delete before uploading your mod, or while editing it etc

wait it also occurs to me there's a Scarlett here, NOT HER, THE SVE ONE

#

fun fact, marrying Scarlett via debug before all of that marries you to a fake Scarlett with a fake room and boy nothing I was doing was fixing it to be the real Scarlett without just redoing things

why

is that necessary?

ornate locust
#

I don't know! But there's a fake Scarlett you can talk to before she's giftable and after a certain event, it swaps over to a giftable Scarlett

#

Instead of changing the first Scarlett to make them giftable I guess

dire kestrel
#

i'm guessing that's why there's a scarlettfake in seasonal cute's files

ornate locust
#

Yeah ScarlettFake was the one I was with and she had her own DIFFERENT spouse room that wasn't Scarlett's current spouse room

I assume it's just antiquated code, yeah

Back in olden days

torpid sparrow

ah that makes sense

ornate locust

"Action": "AddMail Current BA_Letter_SandyClothing tomorrow, RemoveConversationTopic NewStock, AddConversationTopic EmilysNewMove"

#

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.
ornate drift
#

oh so im gonna need to copy things like interior and HxW tilesheets into my folder

devout otter
#

Have them present when working on the map, yeah. Then delete them after saving.

ornate drift
#

basically like this right?

void aspen
#

Doesn't Tilesheetinator fixes all these unnecessary things

ornate drift
#

it does, i have that

devout otter
#

Yeah, don't keep them there if you ever want to upload, though.

ornate drift
#

oh that bottom one is fucking it up

void aspen
#

All of them gotta be just the name

ornate drift
#

wait- why is it using TownInterior twice??????

void aspen
#

Then when you load your tmx to Maps/ it's gonna find tilesheets in the relatively same place it's located, so you load your custom tilesheets to Maps/ as well

devout otter
#

Something like that usually happens when you are working on a map on a folder, and then save it to another folder.

void aspen
#

That's how I think it works and it does work for me

#

If you open Tiled and all the textures are visible by default then there's a high chance some paths are wrong

ornate drift
#

oh that fixed it

#

hooray

#

even my custom object worked!

#

one thing though, my wall collision seems to be off

#

this is as far as i can get near the wall

#

i probably should put it a layer below instead

void aspen
#

Well cuz for these bottom walls it's better to put them on front level

#

Or always front

#

So you have an illusion of walking behind a wall

hard fern
#

yeah

ornate drift
#

happens with these ones too

hard fern
#

those bottom borders go on front, and you use the black void on buildings

#

that way, you can touch the wall

oh, okay!

You may wanna study vanilla maps layers with H key pressed to see how it works

ornate drift

ill try that

I did that

#

Now I do perfect collisions and layers almost by eye SDVkrobusgiggle

void aspen
# timber pilot I don't get it

Fix the Entry ID, remove the extra coma in the end and add include
Not sure how including works yet so Speedy can help you with that

#

Since it's your separate json, game have to know all additional jsons to include so you do that in your main content json me thinks

devout otter
#

Is it actually a separate json, or is that screenshot from content.json?

timber pilot
#

it's seperate. I'm tryig to do the include code now

ornate drift
devout otter
timber pilot
#

oh that's why it gave an error

void aspen
#

Includes copy the format of the main content json right

timber pilot
#

I did remove the format field but it still doesn't work

near imp
#

The content.json part of a working include should contain Format, Changes, and Action Include. Make sure to point the FromFile to the right folder (if the json to be included is in a folder, and the right name of the json).
The json to be included must not have a copy of Format (only one of these, and only in content.json), but it must have its own Changes before the Action : (WhatEverYoureUsing)

#

As usual make sure to check what the error is saying and make sure you have just the right amount of brackets 🥴 , enough commas (a missing one is a big deal when the game tries to read it, while trailing commas (unused ones at the end) are allowed). Generally make sure formatting is as it should be.

void aspen
#

since they also come before the changes

#

after format

near imp
#

hmm dont think so no, but not 100%. you could write it up and test

void aspen
#

I see

near imp
#

if you mean having a second ConfigSchema that is

void aspen
#

Thank you

#

yeah

#

but if included jsons can work with config tokens from the main content then its fine

near imp
#

though you can use localtokens to load a bunch of different things through the same included json, and you can gate includes with a When, so thats very useful

#

Include is supposed to work just the same as if the things were written in your content.json, aside from the duplicate Changes setup

Does anyone know a convenient way to know which mod is the cause of a "No Translation" text?

#

Usually, the translation token includes the name of the author and the mod it's from... I think?

But this one is weird

#

I know that this is not the place to ask about mod issues but this is more on the technical side so mod makers probably know more.

which is mostly a standart

just with negative stats

edibility does get buffed by quality. an iridium-quality magma cap is basically a full restore to health and energy and that's at 70->140. so 200 should be more than enough for whatever you are plotting

We don't recommend using generative AI (such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Grok, etc.) to write mods for Stardew Valley. There are a few reasons.

  • AI-generated content is not allowed to be posted in the server. If you need help with your code, you won't be able to post it.
  • Large Language Models aren't trained on enough Stardew-specific information to give reliable, accurate output. They also have no concept of what they don't know, and so cannot tell if they're incorrect. In short, they don't know if they're hallucinating a solution that simply feels like it makes sense or not.

This holds true for both SMAPI/C# mods, and mods for frameworks such as Content Patcher.

There's no shame in being new to Stardew modding, and you won't be talked down to for not knowing what you're doing. We strongly recommend consulting with other mod authors in the appropriate channels as a first step if you're completely stuck at step one.

#

what do I put in i18n? do I just use that instead of a dialogue.json file?

long jungle
#

If my item's DisplayName is {{i18n:FjorlagRond.MWBRM/RubyRing.DisplayName}}, it goes to the i18n file to find what text or lines of text corresponds to the token

#

In this case, "FjorlagRond.MWBRM/RubyRing.DisplayName": "Ruby's Aura"

#

So the name of the item will be "Ruby's Aura" as displayed in the game

round dock
#

You’d still need a dialogue.json if all of your dialogue keys are in there. Having a i18n alone doesn’t do anything by itself.

long jungle
#

So basically, the i18n files stores the Phrases and Sentences where the dialogue.json will summon them from, as long as you match the tokens correctly

round dock
#

i18n is pretty much an internationalization framework for translation ease

void aspen
# stoic chasm Hellooo. I was just wondering, how do the tile properties work? I am confused <:...

Tile properties is a way to add different mechanics to a purely visual tile
Usually tile properties on tilesheet are tied to the map tilesheet used on, so different maps using the same tilesheet may have different properties on the same tiles
Your tile can have properties in two ways, either by having it on tilesheet to give that property to every tile on entire map or done via TileData on purple objects layer if you want some individual tiles to have some particular properties
Usually only Back and Buildings layer tiles can have properties (Also to mention that all tiles on Building layer have collision property automatically, unless changed)
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Maps#Known_tile_properties

#

Tileset properties can be access via this button on the bottom right if you wanna edit them or just see what they have

the {{i18n}} token, a content patcher feature, pulls a text value matching the provided key (in this case, "son") from your mod's i18n files

meaning, that is valid if your i18n has a "son" entry in it

void aspen
#

I suppose you create a i18n folder inside your mod folder and then add default json with all the keys and english text, once you finish, you duplicate it for each language you plan on supporting and then edit those jsons name and text content without touching the keys

#

then you use keys wherever as long as you do it like {{i18n:keyname}}

#

chosen language in game will automatically take the right json to pick text from

#

and if you dont have this languages it takes the default one

#

so english most of the times
