eep, rule.. 12, was it? it recently had a change, just letting you know nullnnow

[barren tapir]

Sorry

[void aspen]

4 vs 1 😭

[autumn tide]

no worries! you didn't know

[hard fern]

Discord decided to scroll me up past all 287 messages....

[autumn tide]

oh heavens

[void aspen]

thats a really good idea I may use it one day

free labour is always cool

[icy pond]

Can I set a "When" condition in the ConfigSchema to only show a config option when a specific mod is included in my mods folder? Or do I need to just add the config options and ignore them without that mod?

[lucid iron]

no

[ornate locust]

Can't do that without C# or something

[lucid iron]

simply just disregard

[icy pond]

Ok, thanks

I'll just add a description to those configs that tell the player they don't do anything without the other mod.

[ornate locust]

That'll do

[torpid sparrow]

On account of no more school I’m going to try to finish the last event tonight

It’s gonna be hard

[whole prism]

l-last event

is this for npc >.<

[torpid sparrow]

Yas last event for the 14-heart arc

Not in general though

[whole prism]

oo okayy

cries

im so tired

i gotta test half of all my 30 new quests

[twin mica]

hello everyone, im new to the server and also new to making mods for stardew valley, im pretty sure this is the right channel for asking for help but let me know if it's not
my smapi log is here: https://smapi.io/log/8c17f83d47ad4d92be6f146bc8d0a690
the error im having is IndexOutOfRangeException. im trying to change one of lewis' liked gifts to a loved gift, specifically the blueberry. the error occurs when i attempt to gift a blueberry to lewis in-game.
here is my code: https://pastebin.com/h22K7Y4L
thank you for reading

[ocean sail]

Log Info: SMAPI 4.5.2 with SDV 1.6.15 build 24356 on Windows 11 (10.0.26200.0), with 3 C# mods and 0 content packs.

[whole prism]

I sadly don't know much about modding with C#, however, I did just try something.

I don't think C# is needed for this, at least I believe. I just got Willy with gift tastes to replace his disliked item, a Daffodil, just now with a snippet I'll send u, but modified for your mod

[whole prism]

 {
            "Action": "EditData",
            "Target": "Data/NPCGiftTastes",
            "TextOperations": [
                {
                    "Operation": "Append",
                    "Target": [
                        "Fields",
                        "Lewis",
                        1
                    ],
                    "Value": "(O)258",
                    "Delimiter": " "
                }
            ]
        },

If I'm not mistaken, this should allow Lewis to love blueberries

I'm not an expert, and I don't know if the game is reading that the blueberry is his favorite because it replaces the old ID, or, it just prioritizes loved items first

Regardless, this is a risk-free way to implement that, at least to my limited knowledge : )

for the target, the last value, 1 represents loved, 3 represents liked, 5 represents neutral, 7 represents disliked, and 9 represents hate

[heady crest]

is there any workaround for this? its really annoying that the windows wont go dark at night

[barren tapir]

I've just published my golden chicken statue mod! https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/44652

[whole prism]

I love this. Thank you for your service

[barren tapir]

TYSM!!

[twin mica]

tysm for all of your messages Lucy! where exactly would I put this snippet you sent, I'm a bit puzzled on that

[void aspen]

whats delimiter I wonder

Ive seen it some places but never understood

[whole prism]

This would be a different type of mod! We call them Content Patcher mods

Modding link: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Index
Gift Tastes link: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Gift_taste_data

And, how to understand Content Patcher link: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Content_Patcher

Content patcher is a SMAPI mod which lets you change the game assets (images, dialogue, data, and maps) without replacing game files or writing code. You use it by creating a content pack (basically a folder) with a couple of JSON files (basically text). Just by editing a JSON file.

Most mods in Stardew Valley are Content Patcher mods, since a lot of things are simplified by it. Some logic is only available with C#, but thankfully, gift tastes does not require using C#.

[ornate locust]

It... delimits. Specifies boundaries

It's the thing between items in a list basically

[whole prism]

I will send you in DMs a basic, stripped down Content Patcher mod, which has exactly what you requested, so you can learn, expand, and get a feel for it : )

[void aspen]

Huh

[twin mica]

oh okay! that's good to know

[brave fable]

delimiters are also often referred to as separators in some cases. same principle

[hard fern]

since gift tastes are all like
"74 206 835/", the delimiter is a space because that's what separates each item

[ornate locust]

Some lists are separated by commas, some by spaces

[void aspen]

oh I see

so delimiter just points out what symbol is used to separate items in lists?

I see

[uncut viper]

There's also nothing saying a delimiter has to be a special character either

[void aspen]

can it be a word or a sentence

[uncut viper]

If you have the string "wowow124abc" and say the delimiter is "2" then you get two items, "wowow1" and "4abc"

[void aspen]

neat

[whole prism]

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't terminal emulators do the same thing with flags?

or is that a very different approach they take

[uncut viper]

i havent the faintest

[whole prism]

gotchu

[void aspen]

[whole prism]

like some commands you can run "commandName --details"

and usually "--" is the delimiter

to specify flags

[whole prism]

gonna be honest with you

this seems like that meme but

this emoji seems like it was breaded, and deep fried

[iron ridge]

the delimiter is always the space for arguments, no?

[void aspen]

deepfried tbh creature

something I can imagine happening

poor thing

[whole prism]

depends on the app, but on terminals its sometimes --, sometimes just a space

really depends

[hard fern]

tbh katsu

[hard fern]

put it in a burger

[iron ridge]

flags are handled by the app

arguments are always separated by a space

a program could just as easily make arguments be *thing or **thing

[whole prism]

gotchu

[whole prism]

well, remember, if the argument doesnt work

thats not the problem with the application

thats a problem with glibc, systemd, kwin, systemd, pulseaudio, ffmpeg.. (this is a joke)

kidding, this isnt programming off topic

but yeah i get what u mean dw!!

[vernal crag]

What quest is this tile related to? Custom Property - Action: HMTGF
Hate that place, wanna rework it but don't know how important it is

[ornate locust]

Easter egg

[vernal crest]

It's an easter egg. ||If you interact with that tile with a super cucumber in your hands it gets swapped for the HMTGF statue.||

(I am orang again)

[vernal crag]

Okay, guess I can safely remove it

Thank you

[calm nebula]

Aba weren't you moldy

[near imp]

perhaps move it out of the way?

[brittle pasture]

~~aba took antifungal spray ~~

[vernal crag]

yea makes more sense

[severe cairn]

I'm having some issue with a game state query
I'm checking if they have caught a specific fish, but it seems to not be working? Other querys work, just not this one
I might be using the wrong IDs, but im not sure where to find "specified fish qualified IDs"

PLAYER_HAS_CAUGHT_FISH Current 156 (its the ID for the ghostfish item, which is why im assuming the issue is the id being wrong, but i dont know where to find the actual fish id)

[brittle pasture]

has to be (O)156

1.7 fixes it so 156 also works, but for now you need the full qualifier

[uncut viper]

(1.6.16 fixes it)

[severe cairn]

ohh ty!

I did assume that too like an hour ago, dont know why i didnt try it tho

yay it works great! Now i can go to bed lol, thank u for freeing me from purgatory

[half tangle]

@ivory plume a request: change the + button in CJB cheats to always draw as if the floor number was 3 digits long. Clicking (or shift clicking) on it to increase it only to have it jump several pixels to the right is a small annoyance that'd be nice to have changed like this.

[void aspen]

using cjb cheats 🫢

I still use debug commands manually

[half tangle]

heh, I use a mix... depends on what I remember exists in the moment

[ivory plume]

Sure! I can look into that for the next update, or pull requests are welcome if you wanted to make the change.

[modest dagger]

I thought setting the location to something other than their home would make them just spawn there at the beginning of their schedule

[ornate trellis]

with a 0 schedule point, i believe

[long jungle]

Hello guys

Please correct me if I am wrong

Does this mean that I only need to use Content Patcher to edit data/objects and use the CustomFields field to allow an item to become a slingsot ammo?

[brittle pasture]

yes

[long jungle]

Dem, you are a legend

So for example, I just gotta put

"selph.ExtraMachineConfig.SlingshotDamage": 50

and whatever item I edited the custom field of can now be slingshot ammo that deals 50 base damage?

[brittle pasture]

yes

[long jungle]

Thank you so much Selph! I was honestly lost when the Slingshot Framework suddenly disappeared. I really appreciate your mod.

Now I just gotta test if they modify ammo damage the same ways and replicate how my mod was when it was using the old framework.

[severe cairn]

Had the same issue cus I have an event in the mines, but wait
If you shift click does it go up by 10? I've just been spamming

[modest dagger]

thanks void now during green rain she spawns and just glares at the witches cave ❤️

[valid folio]

Hi, is it possible to make an item obtainable from a geode only if a specific mail has been received?

Maybe using When and PLAYER_HAS_MAIL?

[torpid sparrow]

i underestimated how long this event was gonna take

ill finish tmr....

[torpid sparrow]

yeah i think so

conditionally adding the entry to the geode list sounds right

[valid folio]

Are you the author of the Tilly NPC? Sorry for the random question haha.

[torpid sparrow]

yes!

[valid folio]

Nice, I´ll try, thanks

[valid folio]

Can I send you a private message? I was going to message you on Nexus, but since you’re here haha.

[torpid sparrow]

If you have a specific question/request sure! Otherwise I prefer just here or you can shoot me a dm on nexus too

[valid folio]

I wouldn’t even know how to categorize what I want to tell you haha, but if you prefer a DM on Nexus, I can do it there, it was my first option after all haha. Thanks a lot!

[brittle pasture]

Geodes support item queries, which have Condition field

no need for CP's When

[torpid sparrow]

Selph to the rescue

[torpid sparrow]

Yes pls!

[valid folio]

Always haha

[valid folio]

But where should I put the condition? It’s my first time trying to do something with a geode haha.

[brittle pasture]

is this the GeodeDrops field?

then it's just in the item spawn entry (ie. next to ItemId)

if you unpack and look at the Artifact Trove it should be obvious

[valid folio]

I didn’t know that about the Artifact Trove, thanks a lot. My idea was to put it in the Magma Geode, but I’ll take a look at the Trove.

[brittle pasture]

well either works really

I'm just using an example

[valid folio]

Ah, I thought the Artifact Trove had a condition on one of its drops, that’s why you told me to check that one specifically.

[brittle pasture]

none of the existing geodes have a conditioned drop, but if you unpack with default settings it should still show them as null

[valid folio]

Ty

[misty ivy]

Hii!! Is it possible to change a map sprite during certain weather with the when condition? Like rainy?
Context, im making an npc that has a barn and sheep and I'd like the barn door closed when it rains o.o

[brittle pasture]

yes, you can either patch the map itself or the tilesheet (if this is a custom tilesheet) with a When condition

[misty ivy]

Thank yeouu

[valid folio]

Selph, do you know if it’s possible to make an item a one-time obtain, meaning you find it once and can’t get it again from the geode?

[brittle pasture]

there's the SetFlagOnPickup field

set a flag, then condition on "player does not have flag"

[valid folio]

Mmm, I understood it halfway, I get that we would mark that the player already obtained it, but I’m not sure how to write that. If you know of an example…

[brittle pasture]

"SetFlagOnPickup": "CoolMailFlag",
"Condition": "!PLAYER_HAS_MAIL Current CoolMailFlag"

[valid folio]

So, to make the item appear after I receive X mail, I put the condition, and to make it so that once the quest item is found it won’t appear again, I put what you told me? Changing the name CoolMailFlag to whatever I need?

[brittle pasture]

you'd use two conditions

has mail flag "allow quest item" AND not has mail flag "quest item found"

you can specify two conditions separated by commas

[valid folio]

I think with this and a link a friend gave me, I can start working. Thanks again, my friend, always ready to help.

[stoic chasm]

I've got 68 portraits so far, do you guys think that's enough? (So far I've got annoyed, angry, sad, angrysad, happy, happysad, blushing, shocked, and broken.)

[stoic chasm]

This includes variations, obviously, like tears and stuff

[ornate drift]

holy DAMN 😭

[long jungle]

Excuse me, but 68 portraits of whom?

Just one NPC or each one of them?

Or is it for yourself?

[stoic chasm]

For a custom npc I'm making. They are all for one individual

[brave fable]

consider: the wizard has two (2) portraits

he is universally beloved

[stoic chasm]

I am really sorry, but can you explain what you mean by that-?

[primal garden]

This is my manifest
{
"Name": "Evelyn's Big Lips",
"Author": "AngelWhatEver",
"Version": "1.0.0",
"Description": "This mod gives Evelyn big lips for her husband George but be careful when it's winter then her lips will turn ice cold blue.",

"UpdateKeys": [
44642
],
"ContentPackFor": {
"UniqueID": "Pathoschild.ContentPatcher"
}
}

the json validator gave me this error 8 UpdateKeys[0] Invalid type. Expected String but got Integer.

can anyone help me pls

[brave fable]

the question usually isn't 'is this enough portraits', but 'have i fully expressed this character', where there are plenty of ways of doing so

the wizard for example has 2 portraits, no seasonal outfits, no schedule, never leaves his house, isn't interactible at most festivals, and barely has any dialogue, but the player can very well appreciate his character all the same

he just gets a few cutscenes, good characterisation, an iconic, a unique mail style, and a couple of decently useful unlocks and story points

[brave fable]

assuming you're uploading to Nexus, you'd use "UpdateKeys": [ "Nexus:44642" ]

[primal garden]

[[Modding:Manifest]]

alas

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/APIs/Manifest#Update_checks

[primal garden]

also how do you get that block around your text?

[stoic chasm]

Ooooh okay. Thank you for explaining! I get it now

[brave fable]

one backtick for inline style, three backticks + newline + text + newline for a block

!codeblock

[ocean sail]

You can embed code in Discord using a series of three ` :
```
Your code can go here
Even if not a haiku
Just an example
```

For syntax highlighting, add the language code on the same line as the first
``` (with no space, like ```json).
The usual codes are cs (C#) and json.

To use this command, type !codeblock.

[primal garden]

oh ty

[long jungle]

Wow. Is your mod not released yet?

May I know the future name of your mod so I can check it out when it's released?

[brave fable]

for another example i have a character with happy + sad + blush portraits and then like 5 different eating portraits since i feel that's better to express their character

one outfit variant, one no clothes beach variant, maybe a winter one if i can be bothered

[stoic chasm]

That's the thing, the npc I'm making isn't going to be released anywhere. She's going to my best friend and my best friend only, ehe- The reason for that is because, well, this npc is based heavily off of myself

[brave fable]

in that case, 1 is enough, and everything else is just as much as you like until you're satisfied

[primal garden]

  "Format": "2.9.1",

its giving me this error "10    Changes[1].Action    Invalid value. Found 'load', but expected one of 'Load', 'EditImage', 'EditData', 'EditMap', 'Include'."

[stoic chasm]

Alright! Thank you for your help. I appreciate it

[primal garden]

can someone please help me thanks

[brave fable]

you wrote load instead of Load 🙂‍↕️

[primal garden]

oh tysm

didnt even realize

[ornate drift]

is there a way to replace existing hats into two different colors

EditData?

[primal garden]

my mod is still not changing evelyn's sprite?

[ornate drift]

You forgot the ,s at the end

i think

[primal garden]

which line?

[lucid mulch]

Portraits are for when you are talking to them, the overworld sprites is Characters/Evelyn

[ornate drift]

the } and ]

[lucid mulch]

There's no missing , in that code block, and any extra would be technically against json spec, though SMAPI/CP would accept it anyway

[primal garden]

I meant portait

[primal garden]

where tho

[ornate drift]

at the end

right before the last }

[primal garden]

I have those there before yhe last one tho

[ornate drift]

oh

it's not visible here

there's only one content pack loading, are you making edits to Desaturated Trees for Stardew Valley Expanded orrrr?

@lucid iron Hi, I have been playing around with MMAP for furniture and I have some questions:

1. Is it possible to use mushymato.MMAP_Light to create custom window lights? Like the ones that overlay the white "haze" during daytime? I have tried by specifying the light type for windows (2/6) and the lightContext "WindowLight" but I can only seem to get the normal type of lighting, using the window texture. I know that window lights work a little different so I wonder if that's actually supported or I'm just not doing it right.

2. For changing which furniture goes on top when I want to place them overlapping I can use SortTileOffset within DrawLayers, but I wonder if it would be possible to add SortTileOffset as it's own furniture property so it wouldn't be necessary to specify the texture again since I am not actually changing it (and maybe then it could also be compatible with AT).

3. I found one restriction when using SortTileOffset. In vanilla for wall furniture, the furniture that is 3 tiles high always places above a 2 tiles high which places above a one tile high furniture. With SortTileOffset, it is possible to make a 1-tile high furniture place above a 2- or 3-tile high furniture, but it is not possible to make a 3-tile high furniture go below a 1- or 2-tile high furniture. This is maybe just a vanilla limitation but I was wondering if there was a way around that to have some wall furniture automatically place in the background.

[ornate drift]

uhhhh

the game did not replace the hats png

its supposed to be replaced with a white cowboy hat

is it because its farmer and not Farmer

[verbal glacier]

Do you want to replace a hat or do you want to make a new hat entry?

[ornate drift]

replace

thats why its EditImage not EditData

im trying to replace hats.png

[ornate trellis]

its Characters/Farmer/hats

[ornate drift]

hats has a folder...?

[verbal glacier]

https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/action-editimage.md

farmer is the folder

[ornate trellis]

no folder, but thats the asset to target

it says so on the wiki https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Hats

[ornate drift]

im already targetting Farmer though

didnt know i had to target hats as well, i figured it was just a PNG

[verbal glacier]

you were not targeting deep enough

[ornate drift]

didnt know you can also target PNGs

[void aspen]

I mean, that's how most cp retexture mods works

[ornate trellis]

i mean thats the same for example when you have a farmhouse retex you dont just target the buildings folder but the exact farmhouse

[ornate drift]

that...didnt work either

[void aspen]

Have you set hat entries

[ornate drift]

wdym

[void aspen]

Oh you just replace them

[verbal glacier]

do you want to replace a single hat or all hats?

[ornate drift]

yeah

no new ones

[ornate drift]

its specifically 2 hats but yeah

[verbal glacier]

FromArea and ToArea is what'd you need

[void aspen]

How does your asset file look like

[verbal glacier]

also a patchmode (I think)

[void aspen]

You should one replace ones you need not all of them me thinks

[ornate drift]

ykw ill just make completely new ones at this point 😭

[void aspen]

No you gotta learn how to do it

[ornate drift]

i already know objects and edibles

i just need to learn wearables

or hats as you call them

[void aspen]

I had my original file already cropped so I only needed ToArea, tho not sure whats patchmode

but ig FromArea is just as good as manually cropping

[ornate drift]

oh jeez im gonna need xy as well?

[void aspen]

yeah

[verbal glacier]

if you want to replace yeah

[ornate drift]

i figured it was as basic as replacing an entire PNG

okay uhhhhh

the one i replaced is below the straw hat one

[verbal glacier]

you should generally not replace an entire PNG, you should crop your sprite to size and then target only what you'd need

[ornate drift]

what size are hats

16x16?

[void aspen]

if your hats aren't touch on the target file then youd need to do two edits

20x20

[void aspen]

Replace is going by default so its not necessary to put in content most of the times

[void aspen]

ideally youd want to create a 20x80 tileset for one hat and then the same for the other and then you use two editimage to replace them on the target file

[void aspen]

"ToArea": { "X": 80, "Y": 80, "Width": 20, "Height": 80}

I thought you had two hats to replace

[ornate drift]

yeah ill show the other one in a bit

aughhhh

[void aspen]

im using tiled to easily get the cords btw

[verbal glacier]

yeah I was just mentioning it without really thinking

[ornate drift]

wait you can just use tiled???????

[void aspen]

I mean it does help

its not necessary and isn't used that much

but it does its job well

gets the sprite index too if needed

then you just count your rectangle size which for hats is 20px wide and 80 tall

cuz its 4 sprites on top of each other

[ornate drift]

okay uhhhh

hold on

[void aspen]

this works

after you finish testing them you can add them as new hats as well

[ornate drift]

how can i check their xy coords

[void aspen]

are you replacing that green and blue cap

[ornate drift]

ye

i mean mine

hat1 and 2

[void aspen]

your hats already cropped so they dont need FromArea

You only need ToArea on the target file

[ornate drift]

oh okay

[void aspen]

I found this one for you here

for a green hat

not sure what other hat you replace

[ornate drift]

much appreciated

its the trucker cap

and sports hat

so it should be like this right?

[void aspen]

"ToArea": { "X": 160, "Y": 640, "Width": 20, "Height": 80}

[void aspen]

pretty much me thinks

then you do the second one just with other coords and from file

[ornate drift]

hopefully this works

[void aspen]

you could as well use the original big file but it would require you to use FromArea which is the same as ToArea since you just colored other them

[void aspen]

coma

after from file

both lines

[ornate drift]

did it

time to test

[ornate drift]

can you teach me this btw

so i dont have nightmares about xy coords placement

[void aspen]

do you have Tiled rn

[ornate drift]

yay

and yeah

[void aspen]

Open it
Create a new tileset
Find your image
Don't forget to put the right grid res, for hats its 20x20
for other stuff it could be either 16x16 or 16x32

[ornate drift]

oooh ok, ill note this down

[void aspen]

then you press okay and save the tsx file in any place
its a tiled file that has your texture

[ornate drift]

tysm!! saved me a ton of time

could not be more thankful

[void aspen]

then you just click on any tile and its gonna have the coords and sprite index

top left sprite corner is its origin, to keep that in mind

[void aspen]

If you really wanted to use your big asset file then youd need to use FromArea as well, but since you already covered the right tiles with your own texture then youd use the same FromArea coords you used for ToArea

So it still would be two editimages but youd have the same FromFile just with different Areas

[ornate drift]

yeah

xy hw

[void aspen]

wh

but yeah you got it

[ornate drift]

x tile y tile height width

[void aspen]

its generally width then height

[ornate drift]

oh

[void aspen]

that should work as well for your big file

{
   "Format": "2.8.0",
   "Changes": [
      {
         "Action": "EditImage",
         "Target": "Characters/Farmer/hats",
         "FromFile": "assets/hats.png",
         "FromArea": { "X": 80, "Y": 80, "Width": 20, "Height": 80},
         "ToArea": { "X": 80, "Y": 80, "Width": 20, "Height": 80}
      },
      {
         "Action": "EditImage",
         "Target": "Characters/Farmer/hats",
         "FromFile": "assets/hats.png",
         "FromArea": { "X": 160, "Y": 640, "Width": 20, "Height": 80},
         "ToArea": { "X": 160, "Y": 640, "Width": 20, "Height": 80}
      },
   ]
}```

See how I use the same Coords for both area things

so its not anything hard once you get it

[ornate drift]

true

i appreciate you explaining all this

now i know how to edit stuff properly xd

thanks

maybe someday ill try adding custom hats

[void aspen]

you can do it today tho

[ornate drift]

should just be EditData for the most part

[void aspen]

you already know how to do custom food

[ornate drift]

busy with Manny

[void aspen]

hats arent any harder

tho I never did hats myself

Im not sure of hats have 20x20px based indexing or 20x80px

Probs 2nd

So it would be a bit harder to count the index

[ornate drift]

index shouldnt be that hard

[verbal glacier]

I think it would be something like this for your hat1

{
"Action": "Load",
"Target": "Mods/{{ModId}}/PinkCowboyHat",
"FromFile": "assets/hat1.png"
},
{
    "Action": "EditData",
    "Target": "Data/Hats",
    "Entries": {
        "{{ModId}}_PinkCowboyHat": "Pink Cowboy Hat/{{i18n:PinkCowboyHat.description}}/false/true//{{i18n:PinkCowboyHat.name}}/0/Mods\\{{ModId}}\\PinkCowboyHat"
}
}

[onyx reef]

Bit of a stupid question but with Content patcher can i make it so you get an item instead of gold when you sell an animal

[lucid iron]

1. The haze isn't really a light source it's an actual draw thing. I would use a draw layer for this and condition it on daytime
2. The sort tile offset should work on the base texture too. AT compat is doomed though
3. Hmm did you try negative numbers?

[void aspen]

Any idea why would this remove all vanilla items when I try to add my item?
Or do I somehow replace the whole stock with my own item
All I wanna do is just add them to existing items

{  
  "Action": "EditData",
  "Target": "Data/Shops",
  "Entries": {
    "VolcanoShop": {
      "Items": [
        {
        "Id": "{{ModId}}_Item1",
        "ItemId": "(O){{ModId}}_Item1",
        "Price": 2000
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}```

[verbal glacier]

you need to use targetfield

                "VolcanoShop",
                "Items"
            ],```

[void aspen]

oh

[verbal glacier]

and then entries

[void aspen]

tyyy

[game] Item spawn fields for shop 'FishShop' > entry '???' produced a null or empty item ID.

hmmm

things did work with custom shop

[verbal glacier]

can you share the json

[void aspen]

im not sure you wanna look into 2500 lines of that

Ill fix it

[verbal glacier]

or the section

[void aspen]

 {  
    "Action": "EditData",
        "Target": "Data/Shops",
        "TargetField": ["FishShop","Items"],
        "Entries": {
                "FishShop": {
                    "Items": [
                        {
                            "Id": "{{ModId}}_Monster27",
                            "ItemId": "(O)  {{ModId}}_Monster27",
                            "Price": 2000
                        }
                  ]
                }
          }
},```

not using vsc is kinda hurting me

but generally everything worked with a custom shop

now theres issues when I do the same for vanilla

[verbal glacier]

for fishshop you'd put the same as id and you don't need the second "items"

[void aspen]

so I do entries without opening new fishshop and items brackets

if I do target field

[frozen elm]

1. That makes sense I will try that!
2. I didn't even think to try lol but that does work, thank you!
3. Aaand this got solved by trying 2., I guess I forgot to tell it not to draw the base layer as well so it kept putting that on top anyway...
   Your reply solved all my problems in any case

[verbal glacier]

    "Action": "EditData",
        "Target": "Data/Shops",
        "TargetField": ["FishShop","Items"],
        "Entries": {
                "{{ModId}}_Monster27": {
                            "Id": "{{ModId}}_Monster27",
                            "ItemId": "(O)  {{ModId}}_Monster27",
                            "Price": 2000
                        }
                }
},```

[void aspen]

Oh I see, I got confused with the custom shop code that doesn't look the same for vanilla one

tysm

okay everything worked ty again

[verbal glacier]

No problem

[woeful lintel]

you're doing quite advanced Furniture tinkering, you might want to look at FF's feature, I think they'll be easier to use than working with vanilla hardcoded behaviors through MMAP (even though MMAP is also a good option)

[frozen elm]

yeah I know about FF and it's great (haven't kept up with the more recent updates though) but the thing is I only need/want special stuff for some of the furniture items and I don't feel like rewriting everything for FF right now, and also I want some parts to stay compatible with AT and then I'd need to split it so I wanted to see what MMAP could do for this.

[woeful lintel]

I should make a converter at some point... and compat with AT is complicated indeed.

[spiral lion]

hello!
does anyone know a good way of how to move a custom NPCs home tile after an event???

[fossil osprey]

I'd say to have their home tile definition be conditional to a flag, so depending on whether or not the flag is enabled the home will change

I'm no expert, but I think you can set flags after an event

[spiral lion]

i will try it!

[fierce vault]

I just got the coolest comment where someone said they thought my mod’s writing was so good! Really made my day even better 😄

[clever monolith]

Hi, does anyone here play stardew in a language other than English?
Do ALL items in the game have a translation?
I'm trying to provide translation keys for some smapi logs for my mod but I'm not sure what more I can do other than
"log.yield-item": " {{name}} ({{quality}}) x{{count}}"

would this print out the item name quality and count in their respective language?
So for example if it's printing in English
"Milk Gold x2"
Would it print the Chinese equivalent if the person has the game language in Chinese?

[void aspen]

uhh

[hard fern]

ah yes

[vale holly]

you can maybe use the DisplayName property of the item

[hard fern]

2000 uh.

[void aspen]

can I get 2000 uhhhh

qi shop doesnt have Prices it has Requires apparently

gotta fix it ig

[hard fern]

💎

big

[void aspen]

fixed it yay

[torpid sparrow]

behold....the last event

[void aspen]

In case anyone else find themselves in this situation

"TradeItemId": "(O)858",
"TradeItemAmount": 30,
"Price": -1

[clever monolith]

my goodness is that how events are created?
C# is so much simpler compared to that

[craggy goblet]

Now I'm even more afraid of creating my events 😭😭🫡

[void aspen]

would be nice to have some kind of event builder that converts simple things to this text

[clever monolith]

yeah this will forever be just an idea
I don't have that kind of patience for that oml

[fierce vault]

events are fairly simple, when you're familiar with how they work better. It kind of is already text

[torpid sparrow]

i did not mean to scare anyone

that event is technically a 3-in-1

so it got super long

[fierce vault]

wem, idk what your event's about, but if it were mine, I think I would get ill if I tried multilining that thing 😵‍💫

[harsh bobcat]

real quick, does anybody know if you can add multiple stacks of one item in one command?

I'm pretty sure no triggeraction commands allow that

but want to check

[torpid sparrow]

multlining would drive me crazy

bc of the sheer length

theres 72 strings (thanks i18n)

[warm maple]

Hi! I'm trying to mod Copper Still/More Sensible Juices to be compatible with Cornucopia (currently the CS/MSJ code interferes with the production of e.g. Sparkling Wine, because White Grape Juice doesn't follow the rule set down for White Grapes). I have a snippet of the code that Copper Still uses to make Sake out of Rice Juice:

                "RequiredItemId": "(O)350", // swap unmilled rice for juice
                "RequiredTags": [ "juice_vegetable_item", "preserve_sheet_index_271" ]
            },```
and I'm trying to get it to work with the juices of the Cornucopia crops, but I have no idea how to modify the `preserve_sheet_index_foo` to apply to a modded item.

[toxic topaz]

is there a legend for npc sprite sheets somewhere? like which panels are which

my mod isnt loading and idk why it is not loading the smapi json viewer said it the manifest and content.json were fine

[verbal glacier]

what does your smapi terminal say when loading, do you get an error?

its a mod that supposed to change evelyn

[verbal glacier]

does it have evelyn in the mod name? cause that is not showing up

[primal garden]

it should

or maybe by eve

[verbal glacier]

can you share your manifest and content.jsons?

[primal garden]

https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/fbfcb56aaee3492388a98c853e79bb50 here content

[verbal glacier]

you shared content twice

[primal garden]

oh sry https://smapi.io/json/manifest/aa3fd8423f6847f09c40eacb5c7fd89f

is there anything wrong

[verbal glacier]

well for content I believe the format should be 2.9.0 (even though content patcher is at 2.9.1, the format only jumps up every 0.1)

[primal garden]

okay thx I will try that now

[primal garden]

it still isnt working?

[verbal glacier]

are both your manifest and content.json in the same layer? so not in a folder

(besides your mod folder)

[fossil osprey]

I was gonna say, maybe the issue lies with your folder structure

[primal garden]

so how should it look

this is it for me

[fossil osprey]

In your game Mods folder:

MyCoolMod
    - content.json
    - manifest.json
    - [any other folder or file you use]

So if that screen is in a folder that's inside the Mods folder, it should work

[primal garden]

well here is the folder layout

[verbal glacier]

your mod shouldn't be in another folder

[primal garden]

should I take it out

vortex did that for me

[void aspen]

do you have a steam sdv or gog one

[primal garden]

steam

[void aspen]

im wondering

this folder layout looks rather strange for a steam one

[uncut viper]

As long as the folder the mod is in doesn't have it's own manifest, it doesn't matter if it's inside another folder.

[verbal glacier]

ah

[uncut viper]

The content.json format also doesn't matter

[void aspen]

smart if one want to make separate folders of mods

[primal garden]

Roaming\Vortex\stardewvalley\mods\b25zJbYl1\CP Evelyn's Big Lips , this the layout

[uncut viper]

Ultimately the issue likely lies with Vortex and not your mod, which isn't something we can really do anything about. You'll just have to try your mod without vortex to see if it works fine when done manually

[primal garden]

I tried with stardrop

[uncut viper]

Try it without any mod loader at all.

Mod manager* sorry

[void aspen]

im a bit confused why use a mod manager if thats a mod you did

not sure how vortex or sdrop work

[fossil osprey]

When you use a mod manager for modding your game, it's not unheard of to simply try to plop your own mod with the rest of them

[primal garden]

I used smapi and not any mod loader and here is the log https://smapi.io/log/1a8e27a99b74416691751e7fb811fda6

[warm maple]

You misspelled "assets".

Rename the "assests" folder and your mod should work fine.

[primal garden]

omg tysm

[crisp jasper]

dude what the heck

(mod is Tool Upgrade Bundles btw, I’m just making some personal edits)

[primal garden]

it finally works

this would have been a good april fools mod

[swift falcon]

bundles cant change unless you make a new save fyi

But you might already be aware

[crisp jasper]

like sleeping in the bed? because exiting and reentering the save has worked for me

and I have successfully changed the amounts of items, like on the copper axe

moss on the gold axe and mossy seeds on the iridium axe are just not working for some reason

[proven spindle]

Vanilla bundles like the CC bundles can't change, but bundles made using the Unlockable Bundles framework can

[crisp jasper]

yep, that’s what Tool Upgrade Bundles is working with

[swift falcon]

Ohhhhhh

nvm i forgot tool upgrade bundles are unlockable bundles

I just had an image in my head that they were in the boiler room

[crisp jasper]

oop lol

sigh tried sleeping in the bed and exiting and reentering my save but nothing 😭

also did a patch reload

[old edge]

For unlockable bundles?

[crisp jasper]

yeah, I’m trying to make some personal edits to Tool Upgrade Bundles, which uses that as a framework

[old edge]

https://gitlab.com/delixx/stardew-valley/unlockable-bundles/-/wikis/home#console-commands

[stoic blade]

might have to use ub Undiscover name.of.bundle first before going to bed to reset it's data.

you can type ub Savedata to check all UB bundles status

[old edge]

I’ve never tried to debug the bundles but you can with the console commands.

[crisp jasper]

testing

[stoic blade]

Had to work with that when testing UB integration for UIIS2Alt

[crisp jasper]

okay interesting

[stoic blade]

So yeah, make your changes outside game then inside console type ub Undiscover Pixelatica.Tool_Bundles.Gold_Axe_Bundle . Go to bed to save and then check.

[crisp jasper]

just did that

still 50 moss instead of 25 😭😭

[stoic blade]

I have to go back and look what i did to deal with that 😅 give me a moment.

[lucid iron]

I don't mean this in discouraging way but it may be faster to just give yourself 25 moss

[merry river]

Can FTM check for a specific config value of the main mod it belongs to so a certain FTM pack only loads in when the according config is set?

[crisp jasper]

you could add a config to that mod, something like Enable: true/false and then add a When field to the textures and maps and stuff

[lucid iron]

FTM does support cp tokens but not config tokens iirc

[crisp jasper]

oh lol

[lucid iron]

You probably have to do indirect mail flag to do this

[merry river]

Okay, I was afraid that is the case. Do you have any idea how to solve this? It's about my NPC house's map patches, some of which target the vanilla maps, and the items should obviously not spawn there if the player didn't select the house location to be in the forest map

[stoic blade]

@crisp jasper Try ub ResetBundle <bundle.name> instead

That changed it whitout having to go to bed aswell.

[crisp jasper]

AAA FHANK YOU

IT WORKED :D

[stoic blade]

Great! 😃

[lucid iron]

I think you might wanna look at using spacecore spawning stuff here

Those would go in the cp pack and be able to use conditions

[merry river]

I already did but the spacecore spawn trigger actions ignored the conditions I set up maybe I'll try to figure out what exactly I did wrong

[urban patrol]

i can take a look if you want to send the json

(after i heat up lunch)

[stoic blade]

I'l go back and keep working on my spinoff shoot of "Honey, I Shrunk the Trees!" ("Hide Trees"-toggle i'm testing)

[merry river]

no rush and I'd appreciate it! I initially tried to figure it out myself but alas

[urban patrol]

spawning is complicated

[merry river]

trigger actions: https://smapi.io/json/manifest/d1d200c324854182bbba7a94b43aee35 (this is specifically about {{ModID}}_Trigger_CursedSpawnable)
spawnable definitons and spawn groups: https://smapi.io/json/none/94ef32bf2ed042fcbaf6f2d9958f9692 (see {{ModId}}_no and {{ModID}}_CursedSpawnable)

The specific object is supposed to spawn super rarely but despite that, multiples tend to spawn daily even without the conditions being met

...the first one obviously is not supposed to be a manifest file

[primal garden]

what permission allows me to tell people that they could update my mod for a newer version if my mod gets out dated

[ornate locust]

You can do custom permissions if you want to be that specific

There's a checkbox for custom permissions

[primal garden]

how do I get my mod to show on #mod-showcase

[fossil osprey]

You post it here, then ask nicely for someone with the mod author role to showcase it for you

[uncut viper]

(However keep in mind that a mod author is not obligated to do it on your behalf.)

[primal garden]

tysm

[fleet oxide]

Am I correct in understanding that if I want to add some items from different .png assets to an event, I need to turn them into map tiles and overlay them using CP's "EditMap" action?

[primal garden]

Would these premissions let me update this mod?

[ornate locust]

this one here means you can, yes

[uncut viper]

As long as you don't enable DP

[ornate locust]

You have to ask re: DP, yes

[uncut viper]

(Or sell it obv)

[primal garden]

Well I wont be planning on doing that tysm

also why does it have these files in it

[wispy bramble]

mac user

[primal garden]

will I need those files

[wispy bramble]

no

they do nothing

[primal garden]

ty

[ornate locust]

That is not necessary, it's a file Macs tend to leave scattered around

[warm maple]

Anyone?

[brittle pasture]

preserve_sheet_index_271 = item's flavor is 271 (the ID of the Unmilled Rice item)

if you want more eligible items for the machine entry add another entry to the Triggers list

[marsh reef]

are there any mods that use AT to change the farmhouse texture that I could look look at for structure? bc the wiki doesnt make sense to me 😅

[urban patrol]

nah, if they're already objects in the game, you can use addObject

[dire kestrel]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/42864

[modest dagger]

when my event refuses to work but doesn't give an error

[barren tapir]

How would you create animated furniture?

[fleet oxide]

ah ok thanks! that sounds so much easier. I wasn't sure if I could use addObject for anything other than springobjects

[fierce vault]

You can get rid of them if you want to though

[urban patrol]

yeah just use whatever the modded object's internal ID is

[fierce vault]

I have a tutorial I can link to from a previous conversation if you’d like to do it

Besides just being unnecessary file bloat (though pretty minimal), they also can contain your computer user name, which may or may not matter to some people

[fleet oxide]

Oh, but what if it's something like Maru's telescope, where it doesn't have an ID?

[urban patrol]

that's not an object. when i say object i'm referring to entries inside of Data/Objects. you're correct that you would need to either make a map patch or use something like changeMapTile

[fleet oxide]

Ok, thank you!

[warm maple]

I don't understand what you mean. What I'm trying to do is make new rules using the same preserve_sheet_index function, but for juices made out of Cornucopia crops. For example: Sparkling Wine is supposed to be the product of Cornucopia's White Grapes in the Keg, but More Sensible Juices has you put Juice in the Keg instead of Fruit, so I need to apply preserve_sheet_index to (0)Cornucopia_WhiteGrape if I want to make Sparkling Wine out of White Grape Juice.

[brittle pasture]

then you use preserve_sheet_index_Cornucopia_WhiteGrape

[warm maple]

Ah, thank you! Yeah, I just needed the syntax lol

[urban patrol]

so you're seeing multiple cursed objects appear daily?

[merry river]

not daily in particular but a lot more frequently than intended

and the conditions like foraging level 10 or specific days are being ignored

[urban patrol]

i had an issue like that where i was seeing pearls spawn like every single day, let me see if i can find what i did

i'm also always wary of editing trigger actions with a When, though i don't know if that's warranted

ask someone smarter than me about that lol

[merry river]

i haven't used a When in that case, I stuck to the condition field

[urban patrol]

in your trigger actions json? i see conditional edits based on config options and SVE has mod etc

[merry river]

ooooh that's what you mean
i don't know enough to confirm or deny whether or not using when does anything, but they are required since there's three different maps

[urban patrol]

oh yeah i can see why you're doing it, i'm just cautious and wondering if there's perhaps a better way to do it using just Conditions. but again idk if that's even relevant

[merry river]

the only other option would be to do a conditional include

[urban patrol]

which is essentially the same thing, yeah

anyway i shall speculate on that no more

@merry river this is the issue i was having

[merry river]

@urban patrol so this is what you did eventually? would you mind showing me your code for better understanding?

[urban patrol]

yeh let me link

[marsh reef]

guys what's the extra bit on the right side of the farmhouse texture? 🤔

[urban patrol]

https://github.com/nbeymer99/DeadBoyDetectives/blob/main/data/Spawning.json you're looking for the lighthouse beach/grass stuff

[near imp]

legacy space probably. the greenhouse used to be on the same png as the farmhouse

[marsh reef]

I see

[modest dagger]

I got multiple buildings layers but the additional ones are still passable, how fix pls

[near imp]

only the OG building layer blocks passing

[modest dagger]

is there not a way to change a layer to be impassable

[gaunt orbit]

extra layers are cosmetic only

[modest dagger]

fucking hell

[gaunt orbit]

you can put Passable F on Back

[near imp]

yeah, better formulated sorry bit tired

[gaunt orbit]

I just replied to the wrong message :P

[modest dagger]

right so what I need to do is layer better got it

[near imp]

if there is room for something on Buildings, you should probably put it on Buildings. otherwise you can use invisible tiles to block (although this may bite you in the butt later on ). It seems best practice to only use the extra layers for the tiles that you need to overlay on something on the original layer.

bah i cant english real gud tonight

[merry river]

Ohhh I see now! Thank you so much, Nic

[urban patrol]

did it fix your issue? 👀

[heady crest]

any tips?

[merry river]

I will attempt to change my code tomorrow but I set up my spawn groups differently without grouping everything together, so I'm positive this is what I have been doing wrong all the time

[near imp]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/16507 this looks to be what many are using to fix the issue

[urban patrol]

ah gotcha well lmk, i'm curious!

[heady crest]

thank you ill check it out

[craggy goblet]

Probably silly question, but how exactly do I open the game's XNB files? 😅😔 (preferably the maps and tilesheets to work on my own map[s])

[near imp]

!unpack

[ocean sail]

Follow this guide to unpack the game's content files in order to see and explore how the game data is structured.
It's helpful when making your own mods, or just to learn about how the game works!

To use this command, type !unpack.

[craggy goblet]

tyy kattia :D

[fierce vault]

oh no… someone made a clearly ai translation of my mod when the i18n files aren’t complete and I said no ai

literally in the perms

[near imp]

bonk them

[ornate trellis]

bonk time

[fierce vault]

I know its ai because they have a billion other translations and have an ai profile 😔

They did not ask for permission, so thats what i would report, right?

[ornate trellis]

hey, so, whats the common thing to do when one would make a terrain recolor and wants to add compat with tilesheets? do you just...recolor them and then put the tilesheet mod also as a dependency orrr

[near imp]

breaking perms sounds like something you can report to nexus ye. get it taken down

[fierce vault]

yeah, I’ll try

I have the standard perms on, and no ai stated, so im assuming even if the ai cant be proven, the fact that they didnt ask would be enough right?

[near imp]

i would think twice, and then again, and then again if i really really wanted the compat hell of a recolor mod /unhelpful but yeah i think so? you would need to check the tilesheet authors perms, if the perms are not open then you would need to check with them

[fierce vault]

kind of upsetting, i even stated in the i18n itself the mod wasnt translation ready

[ornate trellis]

i wouldnt dare to try all lmao, only the ones i use myself (tho thats far in the future, first is vanilla tiles)

[ornate trellis]

yeah, I'd just say that you said no translations yet as the reason

[near imp]

definitely not cool. sounds like they cant translate or read 🙄

[fierce vault]

I'll see what I can do. hope this doesn't ruin the experience for a few people, because the translation would clearly be lacking

[near imp]

this is fixable, you got this 🫂 and im pretty sure nexus will take your side

[old edge]

I'm having an issue with an important item I made being destroyed by bombs

[ornate trellis]

i mean, since theres no i18n yet that would mean they had to upload parts of your mod so thats another issue, isnt it

[old edge]

do I need to create code to make the item impervious to bomb blasts

[near imp]

it sounded like they have a partial i18n

[ornate trellis]

ah

[fierce vault]

oh no, there is, but it's missing a lot of keys from stuff like events

I clearly state this in the file itself

oh

[autumn tide]

eugh, sorry parcy :(

[fierce vault]

and it's opted in to receive donation points :/

should make a takedown even easier tho

[autumn tide]

destroy them

[fierce vault]

which one? stolen content or DP issues? I'll get to explain either way

Probably stolen?

[near imp]

feel like the stolen / no permission is the major one

the other one is like salt in the wound

[fierce vault]

yeah

[uncut viper]

Also, enabling DP isn't an issue unless it is done without permission, so it would still fall under the first one.

[autumn tide]

can I ask which mod creator it was? tryna hide all AI/ripoff accounts on my nexus so they don't show up for me

(no worries if not I get not wanting to spread this shit)

[fierce vault]

wait, when it askes for a source link, do I put in my mod?

[fierce vault]

I can ping you the name after

[uncut viper]

(Publicly calling people out in this server is against our rules.)

[fierce vault]

oh

alright

that's fair

[autumn tide]

aah okay, gotcha

makes sense

[fierce vault]

I was going to say, no malice towards this person though

not a nice thing to do obviously, but it doesn't make them a bad person

[autumn tide]

the internet can really be a breeding ground for the most horrific dogpiling and hate

[near imp]

yeah brigading is unnecessary

[fierce vault]

or, you can't judge their character solely off of this

I just want the translation down 😅

[autumn tide]

that's wholly reasonable!

[fierce vault]

is this my mods link though?

I think it is?

[autumn tide]

I'd assume so

[near imp]

whats the context of the word?

but i think so too. like source where something was taken from

[fierce vault]

source link (required)

ok got it

[near imp]

ugh well thats brief

[ornate trellis]

yeah the link is for the mod the content is stolen from(if you picked the first like others suggested) so you put yours

[fierce vault]

do I mention ai likely being used?

I don't have solid proof outside of their other mods looking pretty obvious

[near imp]

in the context of that your perms state 'no such usage', i think (but no expert)

[fierce vault]

Ok

[near imp]

but if you have your perms set that all translations must be approved first, then that would be the major one, that applies regardless

regardless of how a translation is done.

[fierce vault]

I have perms set that you have to ask for permission before modifying my files I think

its the default one

[near imp]

seems like this would be the one. but again i havent done this before. it just seems like the one that applies directly.

[fierce vault]

this good? The translator for this file did not ask for permission first to make this translation.

Idk, do I go into more detail?

like, that's technically the issue

[near imp]

You could add that your permission settings state that this is not allowed without approval by you, or something like that? just to drive home the point.

but it seems like a good short summary of the issue

[lucid iron]

Nexus usually sides with author on these things so don't fret too much

[near imp]

im hoping and assuming that whoever handles reports on nexus will have more than two braincells to rub together so they will probably figure it out

[lucid iron]

You mainly just need to express that you did not allow this translation to be made

[fierce vault]

Is this ok?

The translator for this file did not ask for permission first to make this translation, when I have asset use permissions set to "You must get permission from me before you are allowed to use any of the assets in this file". I also would not have approved this translation if asked, because the mod is not translation ready and I believe this user uses ai to make translations. AI use on my assets is also against the permissions set on this mod.

Idk, too much detail?

I can't prove ai use, but that's not the main point either

[toxic topaz]

you can never too much detail for a report imo

[jaunty shuttle]

I mean if you put "do not translate it's not ready" in the literal i18n...

[fierce vault]

Yup

in the literal file

Which they probably couldn't read

[near imp]

i dont think they even read the file

[fierce vault]

Could've used google translate on my permissions at least

[near imp]

something something "if those children could read they'd be very upset"

.jpg

[jaunty shuttle]

So they probably did not even look at it, which means it's likely they used AI which is also against your permissions

[fierce vault]

Kay, it's sent

[autumn tide]

you gotta be bilingual to be a translator imo

[fierce vault]

I wouldn't be that mad if they'd just asked. Yeah, it would've meant they didn't read the perms still, but I respect asking for permission first

[autumn tide]

damn that was the quickest I've seen a scam post removed! ty junis :)

[near imp]

that does feel like step 1

[near imp]

i didnt even see what it was 😮 but you knew it by the way that it was?

[icy pond]

What is the proper syntax to set the "Value" of a Dynamic Token to the string of a config setting?

[autumn tide]

like, if you wanna properly translate you need to understand the nuances of both languages and be highly proficient at writing in the translation language as well

[autumn tide]

yep there's this whole genre of photos of computers showing Mr Beast tweets telling you to visit some link to win 20k or something

[lucid iron]

It'd be "Value": "{{ConfigToken}}"

[autumn tide]

usually always the same photos too smh

[lucid iron]

But i guess there is a question of why do u need this

[icy pond]

Ok thanks

[fierce vault]

Some people would be ok with ai translations on their mods, and I'm fine with these translators releasing those kinds of mods in that context. They just need to disclose that they're using ai to make the entire translation, or most of it anyway (meant to link to my other message)

[lucid iron]

You can use config token directly no?

[autumn tide]

scammers gotta get better material smh

[fierce vault]

I wonder if they even played with the mod, or just thought it looked good enough to make a translation for their massive list

Idk, but they endorsed it though

[autumn tide]

there's that at least

[icy pond]

Well that's the issue. I'm working on a gender dialogue mod. I want it to support other mods and I want to include a NonBinary option. I also want Dynamic Tokens that can easily be used in other mods with "Cross-Mod Compatibility Tokens"

That said as I was working on this I suddenly realized that NonBinary pronouns and gender references tend to change the grammar structure of sentences. Which would mean totally rewriting every sentence to fit the NonBinary version.

That's more work than I'm willing to put in ATM.

So instead I thought for now I'd use names/nicknames. But since the names can be changed in the config I need to make three values for each Dynamic Token. MalePronoun, FemalePronoun, and a reference to the NPC-Name config.

[uncut viper]

CMCT can grab your config tokens just fine too, no need to put them in a dynamic token.

[icy pond]

Oh that's good to know.

[autumn tide]

aa that's awesome :)

[long jungle]

Aww I see. So it is a personal mod. Well, thanks for sharing!

[fierce vault]

i was going to say something more on my thoughts abt translations, but my laptop died, so I just hope it saved what I spent minutes writing :/

[lucid iron]

i think since u are the provider of Gender™ here i'd just do a LocalizedText

[icy pond]

@lucid iron I'm not sure what that is.

[lucid iron]

write this into various dialogues: [LocalizedText EazyT4RG3T:PronounA]

and then Load the asset EazyT4RG3T, populate the key at PronounA with value "{{PronounAConfig}}"

all mods can use [LocalizedText EazyT4RG3T:PronounA] in their dialogue to fetch the value you have provided

[icy pond]

Right, but if my config options are "AllowValues": "Male, Female, NonBinary",
Then that solution wouldn't work would it?

[lucid iron]

it would cus u r just putting the config into asset

and content patcher will invalidate the asset for you when you change config

https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/600ea577241242a295fab9ddccab5ba3

here's what the load and edit looks like

[craggy goblet]

Okay, even sillier question than before – is there any way to access the game's XNB files when you play on Android?
-# probs not, right... 😅🥲😔

[lucid iron]

for ref, LocalizedText is actually what vanilla game uses for translations, but much like i18n it's nice for fetching some text from some key value store

i dont think the content is different?

the mobile atlas stuff is in the pc version of game too

[craggy goblet]

Tried using XNBHack via PC, didn't do anything...

Maybe I'm just stupid

But I did follow the readme on the Github page...

[lucid iron]

do you own the PC version of game

[craggy goblet]

Noooo.... that's most likely the issue

But my pc can't handle the game, that's why Android

(AKA not enough space atm)

(and no money either lol- 😅)

[lucid iron]

ig the question is what exactly do u want to mod

if android smapi let you use console commands then u could maybe use cp patch export?

its very out of my knowledge base

[iron ridge]

you could probably get the apk and the assets might just be in their raw xnb form instead of in another weird format?

and then use xnb-js or xnbcli

[craggy goblet]

wait i think i found something to workaround

[craggy goblet]

Wanna make a Custom Map

Where the Quarry Mine bridge is

just a small thingy

"small" for now lmao

[near imp]

im guessing sharing even just select parts of the unpacked files is considered a no-no, since its technically redistribution of material?

[lucid iron]

an map making

prob not getting around having to unpack stuff

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/18387

maybe this work on phones i dunno

[craggy goblet]

That looks kinda OP actually XD

Yeah nah, my idea ain't working 😔

weird

[fierce vault]

It's saved! 😅 This is what I wanted to say:

You know, there's something I've noticed about many people offering to do translations, for the authors that care about not having ai translation released. If you look at some translators' files/profiles, they have ai avatars or thumbnails (sometimes both), and/or they also release translations very quickly. I know it's flattering to receive a message asking to translate your mod, but a lot of the "big" translators (the ones that are more likely to often offer soon after release, I think) are using ai, or heavily relying on google translate at least.

Not a big deal imo if the mod author's fine with that, just something to be aware of. I think they should also be disclosing the ai use when offering to translate, but some of them probably don't even think of it though 🤷‍♀️

[icy pond]

@lucid iron Wouldn't I still have to pass the config tokens for "NPC_Gender" and "NPC_Name" to the LocalizedText? I guess I'm just not understanding the benifit of doing it that way.

[lucid iron]

the main benefit is that localized text works inside of i18n files

tokens require people to pass it through args

[icy pond]

@lucid iron Gotcha. So better Translation support.

[near imp]

~~hmm, does nexus not always update permissions immediately? i turned one setting on, changed my mind, and turned it off again (the part about uploading to other sites), but its not updating the mod page ~~ nvm there it goes

[lucid iron]

its like an extra feature you are providing to mods who might depend on you to provide Gender™

and they wont need CMCT to use it cus this is a vanilla system

the existing "Gender Neutrality Mod Tokens" mod does things by registering mod provided content patcher token in their C# which also allows everyone to use it

but since it is still a token you cant use it inside i18n as easily

[void aspen]

Pretty funky to use but I liked it

[icy pond]

Yeah. I'm afraid C# is currently beyond me

[void aspen]

Thanks to this mod I started modding myself

[near imp]

@void aspen oh hey sasha, ive been meaning to ask you a witchcraft-related question about the program you use sometimes. can it select pixels in a sprite based on if they are part of the outline of the sprite? like select every pixel that is next to the transparent part of a spritesheet, that kind of thing. if youre busy right now i totally understand though

[void aspen]

I'm pretty sure it can totally do that, tho I'm not that smart in its myself but I'm sure it can

I find new things there everyday

[uncut viper]

(Correct. General rule of thumb: If someone could take what you shared and use it as is as a drop-in replacement for one of the games files, you probably shouldn't be sending it.)

[void aspen]

I can help you with it tomorrow or anytime, just not now cuz it's 1am

[uncut viper]

(Emphasis on "general rule of thumb" not "hard and fast rule that covers everything and every case 100%")

[craggy goblet]

@lucid iron Map Editor does not work on Android. sighs

But thanks for the idea :)

[lucid iron]

try cinderbox maybe

but that one also require owning PC sdv

[craggy goblet]

🥲🥲

So I'm screwed any way

[fierce vault]

Oh, you know what? To very briefly touch on this (since I was just looking through some of the messages again), I'm glad this servor states "Secondly, we want to remind you that people who do use generative AI are still people." in the rules, because some artist spaces I see online will straight up demonize other people over ai art/etc. and can be really cruel. Genuinely, no actually hateful feelings towards the translator from earlier. I hope they enjoy the mod if they can understand it, and I wouldn't ban them from the page over this.

[autumn tide]

oh yeah, and there are much greater evils in this world to be upset about

[fierce vault]

I don't even mind if they use a personal ai translation at this point, since it's already been fed to one

Just don't want it published

Bye for now guys 👋

[autumn tide]

a lot of times people will prioritize hating on a perpetrator or perceived perpetrator rather then actually helping the victim (not necesarily about this, just in general)

[old edge]

Is secret notes framework simple?

[autumn tide]

-# pls summon me upon answering the above question I am also very curious as to how easy-to-use it is

[old edge]

I made a few notes with framework just text dialogue but I have no idea if or when they show up

[torpid sparrow]

is it possible to make an item ungiftable except for specific npcs

[devout otter]

With SpaceCore, yeah.

[torpid sparrow]

darn

[devout otter]

It has item blacklist/whitelist.

[old edge]

Space core isn’t too hard

[torpid sparrow]

its not but id be adding a dependency for 1 thing

[uncut viper]

Yeah, but it's the thing you wanted to do

[torpid sparrow]

its ok i can do without

[near imp]

could it be made optional? that whole feature? (/gen)

[urban patrol]

yeah you can do a conditional HasMod patch

[near imp]

so like if you have spacecore it does thing, but if not then nbd

[urban patrol]

that's what i did with all my BETAS features before it became android compatible

[lucid iron]

u could make it Universal_Hate except for ur npc

obviously u can still gift but yknow

[torpid sparrow]

its a red envelope so that seems not good

[devout otter]

(Honestly there's a good chance the user would already have SpaceCore anyway. It has more than half Content Patcher's download.)

[torpid sparrow]

true

[devout otter]

(You could also make the item ungiftable to begin with but emulate gifting it through $actions and/or BETAS shenanigans.)

[lucid iron]

hm why would u want to not give red envelop to everyone

[torpid sparrow]

typically given to children

and family but like u dont have family there

[lucid iron]

its ok most of the town is unemployed

[torpid sparrow]

i have an event set up where tilly gives 2 envelopes to farme

LOL

-to farmer to give to jas and vincent

[lucid iron]

they r valid targets for free money

ah in that case u could make it be like

tilly: cant believe u lost money heres 2 more dont do a dum again

ultimately the quest wont complete until the right ppl r gifted right

[devout otter]

Or they could be quest item maybe.

[torpid sparrow]

true yas

thats a good idea

thanks friends

i like when i ask something here and i end up somewhere else

[lucid iron]

XY problem

[old edge]

Special order

[torpid sparrow]

hmm it might have to be a so

can u do itemdelivery quest to multiple ppl

[uncut viper]

not in one quest

[torpid sparrow]

darn

special order then

[urban patrol]

i think soup/chu's framework can do this but idr

[marsh reef]

:( why mailbox no maibox?

[torpid sparrow]

ate it

[icy pond]

@lucid iron I'm looking through the documentation for LocalizedText and I'm still struggling to fully wrap my brain around it. Would it be okay for me to make a short example json the way I am currently writing my mod and send it to you so that you can rewrite it as the LocalizedText method. I would very much like to make things easier for translators if possible. I simply lack the skill ATM and I think having a full scale example would help.

[marsh reef]

evil :(

[lucid iron]

i think u should try to adapt the example I already gave by itself

There were several homework bits in there like

• what's a blank.json
• actually hooking this onto config
• actually using this in a dialogue

[marsh reef]

:3 mailbox coded to be 2 tall for any wondering

if the hitbox of the lower tile is off of the house hitbox, no mailbox

[near imp]

love it when people return to share what fixed stuff especially instead of like "fixed it nvm" and then not share the solution to the issue

[slate pelican]

I'm attempting to edit an existing mod for personal use. The mod changes the sound of gravel path to that of grass; I also want wood path to do this. I think I've copy-pasta'd and correctly changed all the relevant bits except I need the ID for Wood Path (the unique string ID for this floor/path) and I can't figure out how to find that number. Gravel Path is ID 5 apparently according to the content.json I'm editing. Anyone know how I can find the corresponding number for Wood Path?

[icy pond]

@lucid iron blank.json is just a json file named however I want.
{{PronounAConfig}} is the config token.
And to use it in a dialogue it would look something like this

"eventSeen_4": "[LocalizedText MyMod:Abigail_Name] is going through a rebellious phase... I get it.#$e#[LocalizedText MyMod:Abigail_HeShe_UC]'ll wise up when [LocalizedText MyMod:Abigail _heshe_LC] has to make [LocalizedText MyMod:Abigail_hisher_LC] first mortgage payment!$h",

[lucid iron]

yep try it out

u can use debug tokens yourstring to test the localized text stuff

[near imp]

if youre planning to do any significant amount of modding i would recommend unpacking the game files but if its just for one mod i could see if i can find it for you

[slate pelican]

It's just this one mod that I am editing. If it helps the mod is "Gravel Path sfx to Grass Path" by Serafiep on Nexus. Any help would be appreciated

[near imp]

no problem, give me a few seconds, im just double checking which one is wood path

its path ID 6, if you mean the one thats sort of loose planks, not the solid wood floor

[icy pond]

I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't understand how to get dynamic tokens from the content.json into the blank.json for the LocalizedText. Like I'm not understanding the format of the LocalizedText file itself. Or how the two interact.

[lucid iron]

so returning to this thing

[icy pond]

Like [LocalizedText MyMod:Abigail_HeShe_UC]
Needs to return either "He, She, {{Abigail_Nickname}}"

[slate pelican]

That is the right one. I tried 6 on intuition earlier and it made SMAPI mad so I assumed I guessed wrong, but considering SMAPI is still throwing a error when that's the correct ID it must be something else hmm

[lucid iron]

ah i see you are confused about the conditional editing part

[icy pond]

Yeah

[lucid iron]

so lets say we have Config_Abigail_Pronoun as a token

depending on the player's settings, {{Config_Abigail_Endearment}} can resolve to He She and {{Abigail_Nickname}}

altho i guess in this case it'd have to be a dynamic token, so let me amend my example

[icy pond]

Okay so I do need the Dynamic Token still

[near imp]

@slate pelican this might also be useful, the top numbers here are the IDs of the item that goes in your inventory (stored in Objects.json in unpacked Data). the numbers below are the IDs they have in FloorsAndPaths.json (the ids for the stuff that actually goes on the ground)

[lucid iron]

not neccesarily, ill flesh out my example for this particular usecase

[near imp]

maybe you can share your content.json with the validator? im not an expert but i can try to take a look, i added a custom path to the game last week so im at least a little bit familiar with this area

https://smapi.io/json

[icy pond]

{{Abigail_Nickname}} is a string config btw

[lucid iron]

https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/d6569660565c47f8878bae0edaa28cdf

so in this case i simply put the When on the actual EditData patches

you could indeed make a intermediate dynamic token if that suits you better

DT approach would be like this https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/abed2490c4234e35882fa68ea794bf11

[slate pelican]

Thank you, I appreciate. I'm sure it's probably something simple; I understand mod coding just enough to be dangerous. https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/2acad4a72ebc4307af1326bd584b859c

[lucid iron]

ill stress again that this is not strictly about getting your own mod to work

you are providing something accessible to everyone by doing this

[near imp]

thats how i like to think of myself too, like a monkey with powertools and no adult supervision

[lucid iron]

in your own mod you do benefit from being able to just write [LocalizedText EazyT4RG3T:PronounA] and so on in your i18n, without needing something like {{i18n:key |PronounA={{Abigail_Endearment_Value}} }} on the outside

[icy pond]

I'm doing this mainly for myself but I'd like to make a universal solution if possible yes.

[near imp]

@slate pelican looks like you got got by a comma (very common). try adding one right after the bracket on line 29. you see the validator complains about error on line 31. which is often caused by the thing directly above

since your starting mod added only one part, it wouldnt have had a comma there. but when you add two, one is needed between them for ..uh computery reasons im not competent enough to put into correct words at this hour

this mod edits more of the path than strictly necessary i believe and because the coordinates for the second entry is also pointing to the texture of the gravel path, the wood path is probably gonna look like gravel now too. let me see if i can mock something up to remove the redudant edits. if the goal is only to edit the sound, its best practice to leave the rest of the stuff untouched

[slate pelican]

Of course it was a comma. /facepalm You're right though, they now look the same

[near imp]

ye gimme a min and ill give you another version to try

is it only FootstepSound youre looking to edit?

[icy pond]

@lucid iron Okay, I think I'm starting to get it. Another question, can I pull a string config's default value from i18n? Like

"Abigail_Name": {
"DefaultValue": "{{i18n:Default_Abigail_Name}}",
}

[slate pelican]

Mostly. If I can also make the placement sound grassyStep that would be perferable, but the main thing is the footstepSound; I have texture replaced the gravel and wood paths to look like light and dark grass respectively and it's annoying that they don't sound like grass

[near imp]

@slate pelican https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/845ec916774e495c87874bcfc6015fa5 try this one and see if it complains about anything. i left in the stuff thats relevant for sounds and debris type

[lucid iron]

no

this is another thing that you'd have to use intermediate dynamic token for, with HasValue:Abigail_Name as the condition

[near imp]

yeah you should be able to put grassyStep in PlacementSound too. unless im entirely mistaken the names for these sound assets should be able to be used interchangeably, at least in this case

[slate pelican]

Haha Okay so they look different now, but when I place them they place as one individual tile that doesn't do the path-connect-together action and also functions as a placed object that stops me (like furniture would) instead of letting me walk on it

But no SMAPI errors

[near imp]

Ohh i think i know why. my intention was to remove unnecessary overwrites of the default settings, but its possible instead we've just wiped all the properties of the path except for the ones we set. maybe you gotta include them all in there after all

unless theres something more appropriate to use than EditData for this lemme see

[icy pond]

I didn't think you could use "HasValue" in a ConfigSchema

[slate pelican]

I went back to the original version+comma and tested the placement sound; changing that variable to grassyStep DID change the placement sound effect without issue. So it's just a matter of correcting the tilesheet pointing issue so it shows the correct textures

[near imp]

ye, imma get you the coordinates for the wood path

[lucid iron]

yes thats why you'd have to use intermediate dynamic token

i think im too tired to figure out if theres a more elegant way to do the edit right now (02:25 here)

[slate pelican]

That's so valid

[near imp]

wood path is 128, 64. as opposed to the gravel path which is 64, 64 as you probably know

remember to change the winter version too. its just another spritesheet with the exact same layout and winter coloring. so same coords

[old edge]

Oh I figured out how to debug the secret note framework. It’s the debug command json debug sn <noteid>

[near imp]

I checked if there was a better (grassier) debris type listed on the wiki you could use for your RemovalDebrisType, but it looks like theres none of a grassy kind listed for paths. https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Floors_and_Paths

[slate pelican]

It works; YAY! Thank you so much I did consider changing it to the scythe noise since that's how you cut grass, but since it's a path you remove it with the pick/axe so it still makes sense. My retexturing mod changes the pathing to the light and dark snow/winter ground textures and I'm realizing snow and frozen dirt have different sound effects than grass and I'm trying to decide if I care enough to try and figure out how to change the sound effects for winter

[near imp]

you should be able to use a When for this, i might have an example lying around i use for trees

@lucid iron I am sorry. I think I've hit my limit of hard thinking for the day. Been dealing with a TBI and after a while my head starts going all foggy. Thanks for all the help. I'm still a bit confused on how to use localization for the default names, but I've hit my limit for today. Gonna go make some notes and start back up tomorrow. Thanks again for all the help.

IDK if it's bc Content Patcher is amazing or if CA made it easier in 1.6, but I remember not too long ago people basically said editing sound effects wasn't possible bc it was so hard to parse. Stardew Modding/mod tools have come so far

[near imp]

i believe it was added recently

[tiny zealot]

content patcher is very good at its job, but the real game changer when it comes to modding is that, over time, more things qualify as content (they are driven by data instead of being hardcoded or otherwise difficult to edit) and can therefore be patched

(and of course the real trick is that the same person, pathoschild, is responsible for both)

[torpid sparrow]

pathos! pathos!

[near imp]

@slate pelican this one has two sections, one is active in spring, summer and fall, and the other in winter (hopefully). so you can set different sounds for winter. i didnt change the sounds and coordinates with your progress (so youll need to update that again), but the structure should be ok. https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/fe1e9bc45b494cd78a19cd66a168fe65

ack the validator mangled my comments a bit, but not in a major way. but, its very late, so i shall leave you in the much more capable hands of these fine people for further assistance and ill go get some sleep

if the When isnt Whenning good then they can probably help you sort it

[thorn hollow]

Is it just not possible to edit the raccoon requests with content patcher? Or am I overlooking something? They're not included in Quests, Bundles or Special Orders at least, as far as I can tell.

[tepid patio]

Hey yall! I was wondering if anyone had good resources for learning how to make a mod for stardew valley? I have no experience with mods, but I do have a tiny bit of coding experience. I pick up coding languages pretty easily, I just dont know what I dont know lol. Any articles, youtube videos, or anything yall have would be greatly appreciated!

[worthy rose]

Hey guys if I finally got back around to finishing a mod ive been off and on working on for like 2 years, can I post it somewhere? im excited, i have it on nexus i just want to share the link

[thorn hollow]

As a fellow extreme beginner, the wiki has a dedicated modding section that I find extremely helpful

[tepid patio]

good to know I will check that out right now

[worthy rose]

the decompilation of the game is the single most helpful asset i cant lie

stuff i didnt think was possible, is totally possible, and its thanks to looking at the variables and stuff in there

[uncut viper]

Hardcoded.

[tiny zealot]

yeah you can link to your mods on here. if they're not about modmaking (i.e. not a framework or something and intended for players) i would use #modded-stardew (and i'd do it here otherwise)

[worthy rose]

i wanted my hotkey - to - item equip mod to be able to auto eat when the item is a food and then swap back to whatever tool you had on last (so like in the mines, could press hot key on controller or kb to swap to food, eat it, and swap back) and it kept eating the food, getting the status affects, and keeping the dish, yeah i was using the wrong function that was really one of two parts of a larger function

so here? or modded-stardew

[tiny zealot]

oh but also there are some rules about content and what is allowed on here in general so check those first

[thorn hollow]

Rip. Is it possible to add a specific smoked fish to a shop then, maybe? That might work as a workaround for me.

[worthy rose]

i used to talk in here a lot when i first started

but stardew is like a ship through the night to me, i always come back to it

[uncut viper]

I don't think so, but I'm not super familiar with all the item queries available, so don't quote me on it

Actually there is FLAVORED_ITEM I think, that might be able to do it

There's some item queries page on the wiki.... somewhere

[wide lake]

What's the current "state of the art" reguarding providing both simplified and traditional Chinese translations (i.e,. cn and cn-TW json files)? Best I can tell from searching in this channel is that as of a couple of years ago it required some other mod to add cn-TW as a language in order for SMAPI to automatically try loading i18n strings from it?

[lucid iron]

yea u can make a shop sell smoked fish with FLAVORED_ITEM

FLAVORED_ITEM SmokedFish 120 0

something like that

u can also just give that to urself with debug iq FLAVORED_ITEM SmokedFish 120 0

120 is tuna iirc

[thorn hollow]

How would I do this? Just put it where the ID for the item usually goes? Or does it need an extra field?

[lucid iron]

the whole thing goes in "ItemId"

im not really sure how this helps you with racoon tho

[uncut viper]

Afaik you would still need a custom language mod to add a cn-TW or cn locale.

[thorn hollow]

The point is just to avoid having to kill a fish for the quest. Ideally I'd have just changed the item required, but this will have to do as a workaround I guess.

[lucid iron]

i guess you could make a font mod to use with the simplified translation

font smasher should be able to do it but it'll perhaps suck slightly

[uncut viper]

SMAPI won't load a cn.json or cn-TW.json though without something to set the locale to cn/cn-TW

[lucid iron]

this is assuming you only want a tranditional chinese display and not an actual localization

[tiny zealot]

i think chu means if the traditional and simplified hanzi are different unicode code points then you can make font smasher add them independent of the locale, but i agree it would suck

[slate pelican]

It works perfectly, thank you so much! Your comma comment made me chuckle. I hope you have a great night and sleep well. Now I just have to figure out what the relevant snow/frozen ground footstep sound effects are, because they appear to not be the obvious ones (because of course not)

[lucid iron]

防风草
防風草

\u9632\u98ce\u8349
\u9632\u98a8\u8349

so in the theoretical font mod only approach u just make 风 look like 風 even tho it is still \u98ce

instead of the real thing at \u98a8

[wide lake]

ah, sorry, I meant zh, which is listed on the translation page on the wiki so I assume there's native support for it. I've got some person offering a zh-TW.json and asking if there's a way to do that besides overwriting the zh.json.

[lucid iron]

There's native support for simplified chinese

But not for traditional

[near imp]

Possibly soundboard mod or one of the debug commands for sound could work. But now im really off, i just wanted to know if the latest would work

[wide lake]

So to summarize, the choices are either provide an alternate file for the user to overwrite the zh.json or install an additional mod that adds a zh-TW language code (presuming such a mod exists)?
