yea they're both 1.0.0

#

and for "./My Content Patcher Pack" do i need to do anything with that?

half tangle
#

you need to name it the same as your CP folder

#

keep the ./ since that says "start looking from this folder where the csproj file is"

#

so ./[CP]MeguminNPC

toxic topaz
#

okay.... uhh i think it seems good. just when i try to build it it says the manifest doesnt exist. but thats because there is one in each subfolder and not in like the... main directory? idk how to explain it

#

guess ill try to launch though steam

Log Info: SMAPI 4.5.2 with SDV 1.6.15 build 24356 on Windows 10 (10.0.19045.0), with 15 C# mods and 1 content packs.

toxic topaz
#

ah, wait i think i forgot to update the content.json manually, let me try again

#

oh hey, i think its working

half tangle
#

looks like the actual build part worked, though! One other tool I'll mention while I'm still here is the manifest builder. You can use it to build your C# component's manifest automatically based on info you put into your csproj file

toxic topaz
#

yay, thank you. i dont really understand what i did the best. but it works.

half tangle
#

I was just about where you are a little over a year ago - well done

toxic topaz
#

now what i need to do next is use harmony to make a prefix to allow only my npc to bypass the restriction that stops npc's from entering the community center before its complete... or something like that

old edge
#

Are circular warps still an issue?

gaunt orbit
#

I will say that you should put the gamepath in a .csproj.user file (or use stardewvalley.targets) so that it doesn't break if other people try to edit the code on their own computers

#

(or if you yourself try to edit it on another computer)

spacecore unfortunately never fixed it for me, i had to make one map off limits for npcs so they dont get confused by looping

is there a way to make VS ignore this?

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.
primal garden
brittle pasture
#

and look at Data/FarmAnimals as mentioned

primal garden
#

do animals have item ids or is it only its produce

urban patrol
#

animals are not items but they have internal IDs

primal garden
urban patrol
#

idk anything about AT

near imp
#

AT's -gah enter key too close

#

AT's documentation page has an example mod you can download that shows how to add alternate textures to animals

#

(as well as many other things)

marsh reef
near imp
near imp
brittle pasture
#

I'm obligated to say that you can alternately use the built in skin system to add new appearances to animals

#

skins work with AT tools too

marsh reef
primal garden
#

I already made a content patch version

(also AT seems to have a bug with swimming animals, at least ducks. they walk on water like j- yoba)

urban patrol

(i coded it and can answer questions)

elle's mods also use the skin system if you need examples that apply to vanilla animals

modest dagger
#

cannot get portraits or dialogue to load for shops, is there something i'm missing besides in the shop json

ornate trellis
#

your screen resolution is big enough?

modest dagger
#

???

ornate trellis
#

or, well, the window sdv is in

modest dagger
#

what does this mean

verbal glacier
ornate trellis
#

yes, like dolphins pinned message there

modest dagger
#

works fine for other shops

old edge
#

Yeah so you can’t have 3 npcWarps in one area?

ornate trellis
#

and smapi aint saying anything?

modest dagger
#

smapi is quiet

ornate trellis
#

odd

modest dagger
#

that's why i asked if there's something outside of the shops.json i was meant to do

ornate trellis
#

it looks almost the same as what i have for fishmonger

modest dagger
#

closed message also doesn't work, and the tiledata doesn't like care whether neith is there or not

ornate trellis
#

not sure...the main diff between yours and mine is that i directly use the npc instead of loading an extra portrait and that i have an opening/closing time but otherwise its p much the same

modest dagger
#

like i screwed up somewhere

#

time to look at fishmonger

ornate trellis
#

wait

modest dagger
#

waiting

ornate trellis
#

you do

"Id": "Wizadroid.TGW_Neith"

but name should be either the internal id of the npc, AnyOrNone , Any or None

modest dagger
#

Wizadroid.TGW_Neith is the internal ID i thought

#

unless

ornate trellis
#

is that the internal id of neith?

ornate trellis
#

hm, that might be it then...since it counts as it no owner then and the wiki says

If omitted, the shop is opened regardless of whether an NPC is present, and no portrait or dialogue is shown.

#

oh, thats really it

modest dagger
#

yup

ornate trellis
#

yippie, fixed

modest dagger
#

(tho is should be closed right now so that's the next thing to look at)

#

wait i wonder if

#

i might have that mod installed that shops are always open

#

that could definitely disrupt testing 😭

ornate trellis
#

well, i mean, unless you got something in your map, i see no time in your shop json

modest dagger
#

yup i do

#

😭

ornate trellis
#

if you just got self serve its limited to vanilla shops anyway

#

i know theres one that includes custom shops i keep forgetting the name but i always wanted to dl that one lol

modest dagger
#

okay so the self serve mod was why it was loading when it shouldn't

#

but still no close message, my patience is running thin with this shop 😭

near imp
ornate trellis
#

for Mr feesh i got it to work tho

modest dagger
#

okay it works during opening hours now too so like

#

good enough ig

ornate trellis
#

i think it was setting the shop time in the map to 24 hours and limit the time in the shop json?

#

hm yeah i think thats what it was...in the map i had it as 600 2600 and then directly in the owner part i set the actual opening time in the json

#

not sure why i didnt get it to work for constance

modest dagger
#

saving the day again void

#

welp shop works fine now.

primal garden
#

what is the latest version of smapi

now I just need to set Neith's schedule to actually stay there instead of wandering off into the void 😭

#

the seasonal island tilesheet aint actually used ingame, are they? (or are there any known mods that use those sheets) thonking

verbal glacier
severe cairn
#

owa

ornate trellis
#

hm, i do be wondering how that one would look with my retex when i get to thze GI sheets

#

hm, this aint right

#

hm, i see some issues with foliage too, well, thats not part of my mod so i cant do much, tbh constances ship having something growing on it looks funny

ornate locust
#

maybe a layering thing?

ornate trellis
#

theres a ton of recolor issues with vpr and maybe even simple foliage tho, hm

ornate locust
#

if you wanted, you could pop the top of the ship on a higher layer, I mean

ornate trellis
#

yeah i could, im not really that bothered tbh since it still looks kinda "on purpose"

#

but uh

image.png
ornate locust
#

Might prevent some future similar incompatibilities anyway

ornate trellis
#

oh wait i havent updated yet gimme a sec

ornate locust
#

That looks like Simple Foliage is getting in on the compatibility web

ornate trellis
#

hm nope still happening even after the update, odd

eager tree
#

Hi! I'm the author of crystal island. I will take a look at Simple Foliage's code and see how to deal with this issue

#

they probably have a very late priority set

ornate trellis
#

im wondering if theres also some vpr issues cuz theres mismatched tiles thonking

eager tree
#

im not familiar with VPR, I'll take a look as well!

ornate trellis
#

ok stardrop, lemme fully delete and reinstall, something ainr right

eager tree
#

The last update asks for deleting the old files instead of replacing, in case you haven't done that already

#

Hm no that's on my part actually

#

just checked the code and a few items are asking for the wrong path if the compatibility patch is enabled, should be fixed with the next update!

ornate trellis
#

ohh

#

hmmm

#

this aint good....crystal island might nuke my beach recolor

#

damn

eager tree
#

crystal island should not edit the beaches' assets. could you send me a screenshot of what seems to be the problem?

ornate trellis
#

it might just be conicidence but my edit worked before enabling it, hm

eager tree
#

is the edit applying and just not visually showing up, or it's not applying at all?

ornate trellis
#

wait a dang minute, i just disabled crystal island and its still happening, wut

eager tree
#

lmao

ornate trellis
#

ayo wth is going on

eager tree
#

you can type patch summary + your mod id (like patch summary BackedPotatoes.CrystalIsland) and see if the edit is applying and not showing up or if it's not applying at all

ornate trellis
#

...its not applying anymore cuz conditions arent met, huh

#

earlier today it worked

#

i didnt do anything to the code today besides add waterfalls

eager tree
#

what conditions does the edit have?

ornate trellis
#

HUH, ok uh guess i messed up with setting a false dependency....emotiguy

eager tree
#

lmaoo

#

happens to the best of us

ornate trellis
#

ok back to uh

#

what was i doing

#

btw

#

are there any issues with doing priority late? i kinda want my mod to load after other recolors so it goes on top since i wont do literally everything on the sheet

eager tree
#

added compatibility with simple foliage 🐦‍⬛
i'll see VPR now

image.png
ornate trellis
#

uh

#

im lost

#

ok someone needs to help me make it make sense

eager tree
ornate trellis
#

i enabled crystal island again

#

my beach stops working

#

its just the beach that doesnt wanna

marsh reef
eager tree
#

what assets are you editing? you're editing the town's beach?
it helps if you send here your patch summary as smapi log SDVpufferheart

eager tree
ornate trellis
#

i found the issue....looks like i cant edit any island sheets with your mod on? heres the code(not sure if its the best way to do it but yeah. i commented out the island code and patch reloaded and its back

#

why my beach only tho...

#

ignore i did the when thing to false for island, tho that mightve been the issue who knows

Eac means u can get both moss and moss juice from moss cows

hard fern

So. How hard would it be to make a..

A book

lucid iron

Depends on what the book do

Like an interactive book that warps the player into the book

lucid iron

Making it just readable is simple

ornate trellis

can you just go "can be sh-sho-..404ing on the englisch languge

Hm warp in is ez but warp out is annoying

hard fern

<- i have too many ideas and some of them are absolutely ridiculous to try and put into the sdv universe

lucid iron
#

I think it'd be lot simplier if it was a map tile book

#

Instead of actual book item

hard fern
#

I would assume warp out just be the farm warp totem place

lucid iron
#

Still it's essentially a spacecore warp totem

lucid iron
hard fern
#

Sigh

ornate trellis
#

could make a book for warping in and another item as a bookmark to warp back to farm or something?

hard fern
#

Warps are evil ig

ornate trellis
#

shrug

hard fern
#

Maybe i can just put up a stop inside the book realm that gives the player free farm warp totems

#

That way they can just grab one and warp home

ornate trellis

also a good idea

Hello! I'm trying to add a recipe that allows for any item of a certain context tag using SpaceCore, which I've done before and so I'm reusing that code, however I'm struggling to wrap my head around how to implement other ingredients on top of the custom tag ingredient. It's probably simple but I haven't done it yet so help would be greatly appreciated HehSweatCloseup
Here's the code I've already got and works for the intended purpose. I'm looking to add Wheat Flour as an ingredient on top of this (which I know is ID 246)

                    "ProductQualifiedId": "(O)PBB_LumioseGalette",
                    "ProductAmount": 1,
                    "Ingredients": [
                    {
                        "Type": "ContextTag",
                        "Value": "sweet_berry",
                        "Amount": 12,
                        "OverrideText": "Any Sweet Berry",
                        "OverrideTexturePath": "TntDove.PBB/Objects",
                        "OverrideTextureRect": {
                            "X": 96,
                            "Y": 96,
                            "Width": 16,
                            "Height": 16
                            },
                        }
                    ]

Alright, thank you!

jaunty shuttle
# hard fern That's not what i want

For having a warp specifically... maybe having the player place the book and then interacting with it warps them? Then they warp back to wherever the book was placed? Might be easier to find x placed object than trying to figure out what the players last tile location was

Are there any mods that add new monster classes that I can look at for reference? I currently have the following

But don't know where to go from there.

final arch
#

what are you struggling with?

#

is Shooter inheriting from the Monster class?

#

ig you could spawn it ingame somehow (maybe bind it to a key for now) and see what works?

royal stump
#

shooter is the "shadow sniper" class, yeah

lucid iron
#

Do u need to fiddle with these numbers or do u just need them to look different

#

Even fiddling with these numbers is probably doable post construct tbh

royal stump
#

yep, if the goal is possible with field changes, you can just edit them after creating a normal Shooter instance

lucid iron
#

(in general try not to subclass any nettype stuff unless you really gotta)

royal stump
#

yeah, pretty much any in-game entity won't save if it's not of a known class
also you can do a lot with Harmony if you check for a modData flag or some such

lucid iron
#

Besides exploding save u may also explode people with mismatched mod version

half tangle
#

These are good things to know. (I am probably somewhat responsible for giving Nullnnow bad info earlier related to this because I am always forgetting about how nettype stuff works - listen to these recent comments)

barren tapir
#

My plan was to have the MyShooter class eventually do more than what could be accomplished by just changing field values (i.e., custom behavior). I was just starting with changing field values to see how to modify monster data.

With that in mind, later this week I'll look into just changing the field values of a monster instance (it won't do exactly what I want, but it'd be a start)

Trying to throw together some aquarium fish, and I'm just playing around with vanilla assets and minimal effort right now just to try to understand how this works. What I have will load just fine, and I can put the first item into a fish tank just without issue; it shows up just fine, and I've verified that by using different sprites in the first index slot. However, it ONLY recognizes the first index of my image, even though thre are five images (each 24x24, total size 120x24) in a row. I'm pretty stumped at this moment; could someone help troubleshoot why nothing is showing in the log, and why my five "fish" all use the first index?

# barren tapir Got it. So much for that plan (at least for now) 😅

If you decide to go with it later, I do have a custom monster mod here for reference:
https://github.com/Esca-MMC/PollenSprites
It's a little overdesigned in some ways since it started in SDV 1.4 or so & things have changed, but the basics are there, and it can be spawned in FTM packs with its type name ("PollenSprites.PollenSprite" iirc). I tried to heavily comment everything at the time. It's derived from "Ghost" with methods changed where needed.

Incidentally, aside from the save process itself, you need need keep the default (0 argument) constructor as-is if you make a subclass. The net code uses that to sync them across clients in an odd way, so not having it (or using it yourself instead another constructor) causes weird errors.

calm nebula
#

Yes, you need a zero arg constructor for xml

#

The net code is fun

summer spoke
#

Right, so I had some computer problems, but I'm ready to start again. I forgot, though, where do I save my manifest and stuff again? I just want to make sure before I go too far deep. If I'm remembering it right, I make a new folder in the Stardew Mods folder?

#

And if it's right, it should show up on the black screen as running right?

#

or am I missing something?

royal stump
#

yep, the general structure is Mods/Your Mod Name/manifest.json, content.json, etc
usually with an assets sub-folder to put sprites or data in, but that depends on how you write the content
and yes, any loaded mods should appear in the SMAPI console as it boots the game up

summer spoke
#

Right, thank you. I appreciate the help

royal stump

Content Patcher mods usually start the folder name with [CP], though it's not required

If it's a "normal" order that needs to appear on the special order board, I'm not sure about the best way to do that. If it's a custom board or just an SO you give out in an event/trigger/etc, setting the order type to anything other than a blank "" should prevent the ticket counter going up, it seems like.

brittle pasture

with c# anything is possible

calm nebula
#

It's just a stat

#

Just decrement the stat

royal stump
#

I feel like the timing would be difficult in CP alone, but yeah

if (this.orderType.Value == "" && !this.questKey.Value.Contains("QiChallenge") && !this.questKey.Value.Contains("DesertFestival"))
{
    Game1.player.stats.Increment("specialOrderPrizeTickets");```
brittle pasture

hmm yeah I'm looking at the right code now and I'm not sure we need C# after all

royal stump
#

(idk when the game dispenses the tickets, not having played)

"IncrementStat specialOrderPrizeTickets -1"

torpid sparrow

i dont know what decrement the stat means but i can

#

i was about to say im gonna figure it out SMCPufferSquee

#

thanks atra :3

royal stump
#

increase = increment, decrease = decrement SDVkrobusgiggle
but yeah, negatives work in those stat trigger actions (and stats won't go below 0, they just get removed from the list)

torpid sparrow
#

wait do i decrement stat with a traction

strong kite

I've added a set of foods that all use the same buff icon, but for some reason they use the buff icon for the first buff icon I implemented for a different food? Even though I've changed them to use a different texture in the BuffIcons.png

or in the special order

royal stump
#

if special orders can lower stats, then that's fine too

hmm I think the only reliable way to do this is waiting for 1.6.16's ActionsOnReward field

#

I did it on location changed btw

i think maybe ill just put it behind a second year condition for this specifically as it makes the most sense

#

youre not gonna get to a heart level high enough with tilly by spring 8 for the event to make sense with her personality

#

i think i need to decrement stat for the construction order though

uncut viper
#

Won't the special order board itself still show that it grants a ticket, though. Wouldn't players be confused when they then did not actually get a ticket

calm nebula

You can get special orders in other ways

(In my case I'm just temporarily hiding the tickets until special orders unlock naturally)

This is what I had originally, cut down to the important parts. This works properly, pulling the first texture in the file.

                    "Buffs": [
                        {
                    "Duration": 10,
                    "IsDebuff": true,
                    "IconTexture": "{{InternalAssetKey: assets/bufficons.png}}",
                    "IconSpriteTexture": 0,
                    "CustomAttributes": {
                        "Speed": -250```
But this for some reason pulls the same buff icon as the one above. 
```                "PBB_LavaCookie": {
                        {
                    "BuffId": 28,
                    "Duration": 100,
                    "IconTexture": "{{InternalAssetKey: assets/bufficons.png}}",
                    "IconSpriteTexture": 1,```

the board doesn't show the ticket reward; the ticket collection box does count the stat

or at least I think the board doesnt show? i need to play again

God I love a simple "Replace All" in Notepad++

[[SpecialOrders]]

#

Thanks

royal stump
#

but yeah, orders that aren't actually on the board can either use another OrderType (EMP's custom boards do this too) or offset the stat before anyone notices

calm nebula
#

Special orders not normal quests always give one

strong kite
#

On another note, Is there a way I can make an item be very rarely hoe'd up from the ground like Cave Carrots are in the mines? Or is that like a special loot table specifically for the dirt in the mines?
Cuz I was also thinking of it like clay, but looking through the files I see "ChanceForClay" as its own unique value for each location which I imagine means I can't implement it like that

brittle pasture
#

you'd need C# I think; artifact spot drops are exposed in data but not the "base" drop from just hoeing regular dirt

strong kite
#

yeahhh I had a feeling. Alright, I think I can settle for just artifact spots (which I think I got figured out already, still need to test though)

# modest dagger thoughts on the texturing y'all does it read adobe/stucco

i like the shape and style! imo the texture could be changed a bit, it's got quite a bit of low-contrast noise going on with the weathered patterning which you don't see much of in SDV, which usually seems to use lighting difference for texture rather than colour difference. typically SDV would probably also dither the surface here and there for texture, but i didn't want to overdo it since it's a mostly flat surface and dithering is more often used for curves.
also dropped in some simple shadows for depth, and removed the inner edges at the top corners. you may like it, or you may not SDVpufferthumbsup it was easier to redraw it than to explain it hahah

i remeber lumina (?) made some spanish revival style buildings a while ago that stucc in my mind as good examples of this sort of wall, mine probably looks real crusty by comparison. maybe i just watch too many spaghetti westerns

but yea long and short is that the brickwork is covered by the stucco so it's good to just have bits of it showing thru rather than the whole pattern

the palette is the same except for the tone used for the brickwork lines

@ornate locust hi there, I'm testing the compat for Spouses Move House and Star Crossed. When Emily moves in with Leah I have a map patch that covers her parrot because I move it into their bedroom in Leah's house but I noticed that it's left there when I have them turned off with SMH installed.

I wanted to ask if you'd be alright with me leaving that specific patch on. It just covers the floor, perch, and parrot with the floor and wall tile in her room.

#

Oops I didn't see you had just written here while I was writing that!

strong kite
#

I cant tell if my code isn't working properly or if setting the chance to 98.0 for testing purposes just isn't enough to guarantee the item to appear in an artifact spot LUL
Maybe I'll be better off making this a forageable found just on the ground like seasonal forages

ornate locust
#

I don't mind @! But I'm surprised my patch isn't making it go away since it should replace the whole room tbh... strange.

I'm not really familiar with spacecore's spawnable system, but you'd probably have to setup forage spawns with its system rather than let the base game's Data/Locations system do it

Ohhh okay. If I'm remembering it correctly, it might be an extra item on top of the usual item then?

royal stump
#

yeah, anything defined with those would be extra forage in addition to the default spawns

brittle pasture
#

the reason you'd use FTM/SC instead of vanilla is if you don't want to compete with vanilla items in vanilla artifact spots

since they spawn new artifact spots on the world

no, it just means you have given the function attributes to tell harmony what to patch with it. but at some point when your mod runs you have to tell harmony "patch all the functions i have told you about"

Lots of pain trying to do the things I wanted to do, but hooray for procrastination; I rewrote a chunk of my mod, cleaned up the code, renamed a lot of stuff so it's easier to manage later, and most importantly, I figured out how to properly do multiple animal skins AND make aquarium fish after lots of struggling. I am no coder, but I feel good knowing I have working templates should I hate myself enough to make more of those lol

#

That said, I hated making aquarium fish. I couldn't figure out how to make an indexed image with all the sprites that works, so I resorted to a bunch of loose sprites. It works, but It's a bitter victory.

nova gale
#

Spite sheets aren't too bad, but understanding the indexing can take a minute

rich seal
#

Well it took me well over a minute lol. Spent like 2 hours trying and failing to get something as simple as not using index 0. Everything on the modding wiki made sense, and I followed it tightly, but I fell on my habit of just using one sprite at a time. Like I said, bitter victory lol. Maybe I'll try indexes again later, but for now, loose sprites banzai 🎆

If you end up tackling it again, the important bits to remember are that it counts in book order (left to right, then top to bottom) and it counts in “units” of one sprite size (like 16x16pixels for objects)

Yup, as Magnolia said.

"Mail flags" are basically markers. Some vanilla mail flags are markers for what the player has already achieved, where the player has already been, and a lot of other stuff about the player's progression and at what point of the game they already at.

Very useful for setting conditions on when stuff should happen. Perfect for strictly chronological things.

does anyone know why when im trying to do a sleep animation like this, the animation works, but it isnt 32x 16 like its supposed to be? It just defaults to the normal 16x32 ignoring the settings that are supposed to change that when using spacecore. https://smapi.io/json/none/72524570280045f79cfa306c7f70ec10 heres the json file for it too

I'd like to make a mod to add mid-day save capabilities, but I feel like I'm jumping straight into the deep end, so any recommendations/help/pointers would be appreciated. I looked into QuickSave, but I noticed it uses Harmony to overwrite a bunch of the functions and is iffy when it comes to compatibility with other mods. What I'd like is a mod that lets me go to my bed mid-day and save what has happened so far in the day without continuing onto the next day.

Questions I have so far:
When storing data via JSON files, do they always get overwritten when the mod is updated?
I see that storing data via SaveData doesn't actually save the changes until they go to bed for the day. Is there a way to force the game to write changes to the save file without moving onto the next day?
Are there any downsides to storing data via GlobalData and just using a key based on the save folder name?

So far I'm thinking
"Detect when in bed" -> "Save day state"
"Load save" -> "Detect saved day state" -> "Update map and entity data to match the saved day state"

lucid iron
#

The general problem with mid day save mods is that many C# mods don't consider the possibility of a save/load happening in the middle of a day and so they only cleanup in DayEnding rather than Saving/Saved events

royal rover
lucid iron
#

Normally I support making your own take on concept but given the cursed situation here I really recommend just adding whatever you want to quick save

#

It's open source, send in a PR

#

I personally have a mod that probably breaks pretty badly with quick save but fixing it would be a monumental overhaul of the feature which explodes, so i am just leaving it atm

royal rover
#

I was definitely planning on reviewing quick save to see what issues they had to overcome. Sounds like I might just want to fork it and make any adjustments directly to it rather than write my own.

royal rover

#

Chainsaw? Where?

brittle pasture
#

often it's either harmony and just put the code in the place you want or read and write state every tick (and consequently make the mod only usable on $3000 gaming PCs)

it is more prone to breaking on updates yes but SMAPI is very resilient and has specific rewriters to account for function changes

But I think it's mainly transpilers that die here since base game is good about not changing method signatures that much

If u harmony patch another mod then it is wild west SMCPufferjail

You can get access to the next version of game and preemptively see if anything explodes

I do try to use the saved events nowadays but it's kinda annoying that i now need a saveloaded + saved instead of just a daystarted

lucid iron

Y'know what if instead of mid day save as a mod

You just put the sdv process in ur swap

And take it back when u r play again

JSON is a standard format for machine-readable text files that's used by Stardew Valley mods.

If you need help with a JSON file, you can upload it to smapi.io/json to see automatic validation and share the link here.

When making mods, it's recommended to edit your files in a text editor with JSON support, such as VS Code, Notepad++, or Sublime Text. These programs will check for syntax errors.

To use this command, type !json.

I hypothetically know these exist, but I have never actually encountered one, it's always more like buildings retrofitted to have ramps or buildings with separate ramp and stairs, so I don't feel that confident making it look good. I am also generally concerned about the perspective? Making the ramp look steeper and such. When I do a full map patch, I can make the ramp longer than the stairs were, but it's not as feasible in some spots like building doors where I need it to end at the same spot or else risk messing u pevents

Speedy, important caveat

#

See the arm of the bench there? Snow appears on that arm in winter

#

it will show up over your NPC if they are set to sit there in the winter.

#

Also if you have them sit on a forward facing bench, the top of the bench will do the same

ornate drift

nah ima make him sit in the middle to avoid weird collision issues

oh

If it's one that has the top on the front layer

its on front 💔

the top layer

Yeah you gotta make sure to place your NPC when they sit so that nothing goes on top of them

it's a real pain

is there a condition i can put that is "only odd years"

and "only even years"

The snow on the arm is a problem on the side bench mainly and I didn't notice it until I was walking by my NPC in winter sitting on the bench, it's so annoying

verbal glacier
# ornate drift vro i need to finish this fuckass SCHEDULE 😭

Also for your line of dialogue in your schedule, you would need schedule strings for him to say something. You would put \"Strings\\schedules\\Manny:MannyRead\" in the actual schedule. Then you would need to do editdata string/schedule/yournpc and than Entries: { "Mannyread": "your dialogue"}

oh i figured you could just include it in the animationdescriptions

you could also do strings/animationDescriptions
