How's this?

!json

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.

also in the future if you want to share stuff it is better to go via this link than to keep sending pics

Ohh alrighty

Thanks!

Ive never seen minimum version yeah

#

but i guess if its like really important and a recent version it makes sense

verbal glacier
#

i mean i've seen them just don't think it is necessary in this case

severe cairn
#

like if next update added something you need, but if its like. years ago. then ive never seen it lol

#

yeah i think sprite replacements dont need it 🙂‍↕️

rich cliff
#

Gotcha

torpid sparrow
#

i dont think people usually put min version cause you're generally supposed to update content patcher anyway

uncut viper
#

If you're using a feature that strictly requires something only added in a specific version, it's helpful to denote it in your dependencies

#

Or ContentPackFors

#

That said 1.27.2 is exceptionally out of date

torpid sparrow
#

how far back is that version

calm nebula
#

For ContentPatcher specifically I prefer using the format version to denote this

uncut viper
#

I think you could in theory have an older content pack that needs migrating so an older format, but with a new patch added on that uses, for example, PatchMode.Mask which requires v2.9.0+ specifically. I don't know if CP blocks you from using that patch mode with a lower format.

little pecan
rich cliff

Makes complete sense frfr

uncut viper
# calm nebula In general it does

I know it does for things in general, but I couldn't find something blocking that patch mode specifically when I looked. But I'm also busy so I only looked for about 2 minutes.

it'll persist overnight indefinitely

Hi, I need help with making a mod for Content Patcher that adds more sheds to the game but Im not sure how to make them paintable.

rich seal
#

Been at it for about 4 hours now, off and on, and I just can't get my custom flavored item to work. I just want the game to let me name my item after my input. Any time I get close, SMAPI just tells me I need to use one of the vanilla flavored item targets (wine, juice, etc). Am I really not able to just make a custom flavored item? As far as I can tell, my json is fine otherwise.

FLAVORED_ITEM only works with the vanilla items

royal stump
# runic bolt Hi, I need help with making a mod for Content Patcher that adds more sheds to th...

If by paintable, you mean just adding alternate skins, you can look at other buildings as examples in Data/Buildings, and this reference info here:
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Buildings#Exterior_appearance
And there's a tutorial here: https://stardewmodding.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:_Change_Building_Appearances
But if you mean the actual color system, I'm not sure if there's any formal documentation on it, actually. SDVpufferthinkblob I could try to summarize how it works if you're already familiar with Content Patcher.

brittle pasture
#

just put your regular item ID and rely on other fields to replicate the effects (copy color, copy price, etc.)

#

don't forget to add custom internal names (with a {0} to make them not stack), custom display name using %PRESERVED_DISPLAY_NAME, and price modifiers on top of the base price

rich seal
#

...all I had to do was remove the Flavored_item bit, and it works

#

I'm gonna scream at my wall

runic bolt
rich seal
#

The items already don't stack, thankfully

brittle pasture
#

the game doesnt protect you in the same color same name but different flavor case

royal stump
# runic bolt i mean the color system like how you can paint buildings in vanilla

Alright, so step 1 is to add an entry for the skin you want to make paintable in Data/PaintData, which has entries like this:
"Big Shed": "Building/-45 -10/Roof/-20 5/Trim/-25 0",
The entry key on the left is the building skin's ID, or just the building name if it's the default skin. The value on the right is a set of section names and min/max brightness values; you can just copy those from another entry. (The numbers affect how bright the colors look, but I don't know how the exact math works.)
Step 2 is to load a color mask for the skin with the target "Buildings/YourSkinID_PaintMask". In that image, red = the "building" section, green = roof, blue = trim, like in the base game's ones.

rich seal

Well, it looks like it's fine now that I removed literally a handful of letters, which has me fuming due to wasting hours on something that simple lol. I haven't seen any issues that could arise, and my intention was for them to split because they're just like wine and juice items. So, mission accomplished begrudgingly!

royal stump
#

(so for reference, the CP content.json edits for a paint mask would be something like this, I think)

{
    "Action": "EditData",
    "Target": "Data/PaintData",
    "Entries": {
        "YourShedSkinID": "Building/-45 -10/Roof/-20 5/Trim/-25 0"
    }
},
{
    "Action": "Load",
    "Target": "Buildings/YourShedSkinID_PaintMask",
    "FromFile": "assets/YourShedSkinID_PaintMask.png"
}```
runic bolt
royal stump
#

SDVpufferthumbsup Does your paint mask use pure red/green/blue? The red parts need to be 255-0-0, for example

runic bolt
#

Yeah, it does

royal stump
#

Probably something with the content.json then, I guess; you can upload it to https://smapi.io/json and share the link here

smapi tells me im missing the file and i cant add slash on the name of said file

royal stump
#

the file itself can't have a slash in the name, but it doesn't need to match anything except what you write in "FromFile"

#

e.g. this would be fine too if you just name it shed_mask.png

{
  "Action": "Load",
  "Target": "Buildings/LADC.MoreSheds/ShedV2_PaintMask",
  "FromFile": "assets/Shedsbase/shed_mask.png"
},```

I'm about to just throw out everything I've been working on because this annoying flavored item stuff just keeps failing to cooperate. It was working just fine earlier after removing flavored item from my output ID, but now it's returning error items. All I did was remove flavored item from the recipe's output as pointed out earlier, saw that everything worked but also realized my sprite was not so good, and went to change my sprite. Just touched up the visuals; no dimension changes, just made the sprite look better. Now, even if I revert to the old sprite (yes I know this won't change anything, but I got irrationally angry), it still returns an error item. I retraced my steps, looked at my json I posted earlier, copypasted it and removed the flavored item text in the output ItemId just as I did before the problem happened, but it's broken now and I have no idea why.

I can't think straight with how upsetting this is, and I just keep failing at figuring it out. Can someone look at my recipe when they have the chance, and tell me why it's doing this nonsense? Attached is the item's json (in case that contributes to the problem) as well the recipe json. Disregard things like sell price, I haven't even attempted to balance that because of the error item problem.

Having trouble getting date text to work beyond the first year—
I’ve tried:
summer_27
summer_27_2
both of the above in the same script
And
summer_27_*

This is for an unmarried Sam.
Any idea why this isn’t working?

#

Ignore the italics, there are supposed to be underscores on each side of 27

rich seal
#

It won't come out as an error item though, so it changes one problem out for another.

brittle pasture
#

you need to set ObjectDisplayName and ObjectInternalName as suggested

#

every step I mentioned is important 😉

rich seal
#

I swear I did that, but now it's gone. My non-coder brain is being fried by all this.

#

So, remove the Drop in, add those two, and it SHOULD theoretically work?

brittle pasture
#

yes

#

ObjectInternalName can be {0} Campaigner.CandiedFruitOutput; {0} turns into the internal ID of the input item, ensuring that they don't stack with each other
ObjectDisplayName can be Candied %PRESERVED_DISPLAY_NAME, which turns into Candied Apple if the input is apple (put this in i18n of course, or use the localized text token per the Item queries page)

feel free to take a break yeah

I'd much rather just make sprites all day instead of touch code. So much easier for me.

But I can't quite recruit a pocket coder, so I'm just throwing things at the wall until it works

(or until someone makes it work for me, like you did lol)

I've been staring at this file wondering if I didn't smth right or wrong. Would I be giving directions on the mod page to drag all the pngs and jsons into the Tractor mod? I tested to see what would happen if one were to download it and drag into the mods folder but I ran into what seems to be an issue. I'm almost there SDVpetcatsad

#

your mod should just be installed like any other mod

#

it should show up in the log

#

if the textures aren't applying that's a separate problem

either way if it's not working feel free to post both your log and code

hollow saddle

it opens like this when I do so I'm wondering wether I made the file incorrectly

I didn't unzip

brittle pasture

to install a mod unzip into the Mods folder as usual

So... how do I do PriceModifiers correctly? Can't find an example in Data/Machines, where I assumed it would be, and the wiki (as far as I can see at almost midnight) doesn't show an example.

royal stump

Oh, I thought I just put a number next to "PriceModifiers": like 1.25 or something lol. That was very wrong

Now for the unhinged question; how many decimal points are allowed in this string? Can I be an absolute menace and put the first 100 numbers in Pi, or is it limited to hundreths/thousandths?

brave fable
#

typically nobody will notice your decimal precision if it's greater than the leading decimal length (e.g. .0001 for a price of 1000)

patent lanceBOT
royal stump
#

they're treated as floats during calculation, which is a whole thing you won't want to learn, but tl;dr what blueberry said & the decimals aren't necessarily perfectly accurate anyway, depending on weird computer math

#

and for prices it all gets rounded down to the nearest integer at the end

Hello. I'm making a personal sleeves mod for Fashion Sense, but I don't know what I'm doing. SDVpufferchicksweatsip

#

I have the sleeves.png ready, but I can't seem know how to implement it in-game.

rich cliff
orchid glade
#

Have you looked at another FS mod to see how it works?

dreamy dew
#

It doesn't appear properly in the game when I test it, using another mod as a template, but with different asset directories.

#

I did but... may I ask, do I have to follow the directory to a T?

#

Because I want to assimilate or conform with the game's vanilla formatting, starting from Assets folder, then working my way there.

#

The mod I'm looking at to see how it works, the directory directly starts with, say, Sleeves.

ornate locust
#

Fashion Sense works how Fashion Sense does

#

I'd follow how it works rather than how vanilla works

orchid glade
#

I would refer to the fashion sense documentation, which I assume exists.

#

It probably relies on the folder names to understand what sort of item is in it

#

All the FS mods I am peeking at have that same naming convention.

Well, the installation instructions on the mod don't quite seem complete... though it could be Nexus slowness.

#

(Or my superspeed in yoinking)

verbal glacier

yeah that seems incomplete

dreamy dew
#

Okay, so I followed the directory format, but the sleeves themselves look off and aren't showing in-game properly, especially in the side angles and back.

orchid glade
#

Unfortunately, that is beyond my current ability to help with FS 🙁

I need to do my next Joja mod update too - adding DSV compatibility to Jojafy the chicken in Shane's events. I already did the art but now I've got the perms.

try moving the textures folder out of assets, so it's next to the manifest

unique cypress
#

unfortunately that didnt work

#

I feel like my strings look ok? Ill try again tomorrow

mellow laurel
#

oh the folder name 'paths' also has to be one specific to the game. like Crystal Floor

#

and I believe the name in texture json must also be Crystal Floor exactly

unique cypress
#

I removed the assets folder and its not throwing errors anymore

#

ok i got it to work! moved the texture.json back into the paths folder and now its working! thank you!

Quick CP question: Is it possible to grant a friendship boost to the entire town as a quest reward? I know friendship <name> <amount> works for individuals, but I'm looking for a way to target everyone simultaneously, like the reward for the introduction quest

verbal glacier
#

i think you can do AddFrienshipPoints any amount

severe cairn
#

I'm assuming I can ask here since this is modder related and it's not my error log (which is why I haven't sent it yet, wanna make sure it's ok to send), but someone sent me their error log due to Arumi having pathing issues (the spacecore could not find path while honoring gender female one) and oh boy does it have a lot of map errors.

I don't think it's an issue with my mod, but I'd like to be sure before I tell them that ^_^; I don't want to be wrong, but like... pretty sure its not my mod due to the fact other NPCs like Tilly also have issues pathing and the red errors are about map patches from other mods.

Would be nice if I could figure out which mod(s) are potential culprits.

#

Looking thru the log myself again but this is my first time doing it for someone else so there's a high chance I'm missing a lot or might be wrong

verbal glacier
#

I believe it's fine to send someone else's log

#

do maybe wait cause i am also not 100% sure

severe cairn
#

My guess is just that one of the mods that changed the beach overwrote her warp or something. Lots of map errors in the log from multiple mods Q_Q

proven spindle
#

Should be ok to link someone else's log, though check first there isn't any identifying info in it

severe cairn
#

they posted it on my modpage too so it's probably fine
I'll still check for stuff tho

proven spindle
#

Disclaimer I haven't played with Arumi yet so can't promise I'll be able to tell if the errors are from your end SDVpufferheart

mellow laurel
#

they do have Gem Sea Shores which judging by it's bug section might be causing some npc warp issues

#

-# I can't resist troubleshooting

severe cairn
#

It's weird because her house doesn't show up

#

it should still even if they use gem sea shores 🤔

verbal glacier
#

i haven't had issues yet with arumi + gem sea shores (but i've only played a little)

severe cairn
#

the only pathing issues ive found is during night market since it uses an entirely different map, but that shouldnt make her house not appear at all in regular days

proven spindle
#

One thing to check for the spacecore issue is to make sure any warps added to vanilla maps are added using addwarp so they don't mess with warps added by other mods

severe cairn
#

I use add warp yeah 🙂‍↕️

#

https://smapi.io/log/b6647edca08c4150b7acabcad0407d74

There's lots of different map issues, old mods, just a lot of mods in general, Tilly and other modded NPCs are also having pathing issues as well which is why I'm assuming it's another mod, (I also don't have new locations except for Arumi's house interior and the slime floor only used in her 10 heart event and cannot be accessed otherwise.)

the out of date mod is UI suite 2 alt

#

They mentioned the game working fine except her house isn't there 🤔

proven spindle
#

I notice a lot of those errors across mods are due to missing files. It might be worth asking what method they use to update mods; it's not absolute but that's something I've seen when people do the update method where they replace mod files (the thing where you click 'replace files') rather than deleting and reinstalling a mod to update it properly

#

Otherwise it does look like something's interfering with the beach warps

proven spindle
#

If gem sea shores is getting a lot of map bug reports it may be missing an addwarps entry in lieu of a regular warp edit. Not at my computer rn so can't check but that would be my first guess

verbal glacier
#

as far as I can tell gem sea shores sticks to addwarps

proven spindle
#

hmm

#

How about that 'beach extension for crab pod' mod, anyone familiar with it?

verbal glacier
severe cairn
#

Its unfortunate I cant check everything because my laptop is barely surviving 50 mods :(

proven spindle
#

Looks like it does have some warps (based on a few comments) so that one may be worth a check for addwarps too

#

(Sorry I can't check them myself, debugging from my phone rn lol. Might be able to tomorrow if not resolved by then)

verbal glacier
#

i don't see any addwarps in the .jsons

severe cairn
#

it's ok lol, I'm just happy to get help SDVpufferpat

proven spindle
#

Sounds like the path here is to ask the user to remove that mod and see if it still errors

#

(And maybe make sure they know to download+reinstall to update mods rather than replacing files, just in case)

severe cairn
#

Maybe I should try downloading that mod for a sec 🤔

proven spindle
#

Valid strategy 💯

verbal glacier
#

hmm it seems like there's just an additional boat which warps you to another part of the beach, i'm not getting any errors with arumi + this mod + gem sea shores

proven spindle
#

Do you also have spacecore installed?

verbal glacier
#

yup

#

only one message which is not related to arumi

verbal glacier
severe cairn
#

Swim mod?? Dont know why that would do it but maybe it could be that one

proven spindle
#

Swim mod does have some diving maps iirc

mellow laurel
#

i added a bunch of the mods they have touching the beach and can't reproduce a missing house or spacecore error. of note tho: my log and their log are loading these mods in a different order

#

probably cause they're on linux

severe cairn
#

T_T darned dit, I'm not on linus

proven spindle
#

But it's also an aedenthorn mod so I'd be surprised if it was the culprit (might be worth a check tho)

severe cairn
#

LINUX* not linus

proven spindle
#

Yeah I was wondering if something's throwing an issue with unix but that's harder to diagnose

#

Hmm

#

Do all Arumi's entries match in terms of being case sensitive?

#

(Focusing on Arumi bc I assume it's easiest for you to check, but that could be an alt explanation for the other mods' missing files as well)

severe cairn
#

it should, I usually copy paste but I can check, which entries specifically 🤔

proven spindle
#

All of them. Linux is case sensitive in general so it may throw a 'file does not exist' error if any of them are off

mellow laurel
#

i think it's the load order

#

I put a false dependency on arumi in east scarp to make it load earlier like it is in their log and no house

severe cairn
#

huh

proven spindle
#

Earlier than gem sea shores? Or the other beach mod?

severe cairn

honestly I cant even find when my mod loads, which line was it?

proven spindle

Something I like to do is to put all my entries in include files and then only load includes from content.json, so that I only have to put mod-wide conditionals (like priority) into those few content.json include actions rather than every entry in the mod. Just in case you'd find that useful SDVemoteheart

severe cairn
#

I did do that when I rearranged my files 🙂‍↕️ now its much shorter and more satisfying haha

#

assuming this looks correct

Looks right off the top of my head

#

You can also do late+10 (or whatever number you want) in case other mods do the same prio

anything so arumi can have a house (don't actually put anything)

severe cairn
#

nod nod was gonna ask

proven spindle
#

+10000

#

(maybe not that lol)

severe cairn
#

me when I add late +999999 her house must be there

#

even in the void her house perseveres

#

I'll just do + 100, seems high but well, I only change the parts that touch her house anyway, if someone else added stuff there it won't be compatible regardless

#

I'm not the best with words but does this response look ok?

#

Looking through it seems a lot of your errors (with other mods) are due to missing files.

Just wanted to check how you update mods, as sometimes these kind of bugs are caused by replacing the mod folders instead of deleting the old mod and then adding the new file. (sometimes authors change their file layouts and it can cause stuff to get messed up with duplicates, missing items, old files trying to call stuff that doesn't exist or has been moved or renamed, etc.)

I've never had her house not appear before (other than night market, which does have a lot of bugs, and the ones on my end I'll have fixed in the next update) but I found with the help of other modders in the SDV discord, that the issue with my mod specifically, is due to other mods like Gem Sea Shores loading after mine does 🙂‍↕️ It ends up overwriting my map patch and that's why her house isn't there.

It'll be fixed in the next update, but if you want to test it you can open the content.json in my mod folder and add "Priority": "Late + 100", in the section with the Log Name "Add Arumi House"

So it'll look something like this:
{ "LogName": "Add Arumi House", "Action": "Include", "Priority": "Late + 100", "FromFile": "assets/data/maps/arumihouse.json", },

Sorry to repeat myself, but I asked above how to make a quest reward friendship with the whole town. Someone suggested AddFriendshipPoints but that only allows targeting 1 NnPC at a time as far as I can see from the documentation on the wiki. I want the entire town that the player has met to get say, 100 friendship points when completing a special order quest I'm working on. So, is there a way to target all NPCs for a relationship increase?

the good news is there's a C# method Utility.improveFriendshipWithEveryoneInRegion(Game1.player, 120, "Town"); used for the luau soup, the bad news is there's no vanilla way of using it from data

Ah ok, well good to know definitely I can't do it via content patcher and would have to make a C# mod. Well, I've hit that wall a few times now, it might be time for me to face the big scary cliff that is C# programming and then be able to do some of the other things I'd put off as too hard/impossible to do via CP as well.

helloooo and sorry for dipping, my life has been extremely busy and chaotic lately
i'm still working on my mushroom mod and ran into a weird issue regarding powers
the idea is that you will receive skill books later that teach you certain potion recipes - those aren't classic recipes but machine outputs that are locked behind a specific trigger action
while i was casually playing with my mod installed in my save, i obtained one of cornucopia's cookbooks and upon reading it, the trigger actions for my books went off as well, unlocking the potions. i'll gather the json files in a moment, but does anyone have an idea why that happened?

I'm updating a mod that has worked since 1.5.x (and now does work in v1.6.x)

It's just an EditData in Data/Objects, nothing special or strange.

Specifically:
This works:
`||
// Triple Shot Espresso
{
"LogName": "Modifying Triple Shot Espresso",
"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Data/Objects",
"TargetField": ["253"],
"Entries": {
"Buffs": [
{
"Duration": 1800,
"CustomAttributes": {
"Speed": 1
}
}
]
}

but this does NOT work.

// Triple Shot Espresso
{
  "LogName": "Modifying Triple Shot Espresso",
  "Action": "EditData",
  "Target": "Data/Objects",
  "TargetField": ["253"],
  "Entries": {
    "Buffs": [
      {
        "Duration": 1800
      }
    ]
  }

||`
However.. I'm told that Content Patcher does not provide editing of nested arrays, (like Buffs: [ ] , above) only replacement of them. Hence why if I add the existing Speed attribute, it works, but when I don't, it doesn't.
So before I jump down the rabbit hole of re-writing this in C# for SMAPI directly..
Is this true? Or are there any verbs, commands, or similar within which Content Patcher can edit a nested array, rather than requiring a full replacement of all values within? 😀

How do you get an NPC to pathfind to a building on the farm?

Hmm I was just wondering cause i’m learning how to do it with decor that you can place anywhere but that’s not enter-able, but for a future idea I had can you do it with actual buildings that have doors?

#

Like would it be complicated C# or manageable? The pathfinding I’ll already be doing is for children not full NPC’s so I guess that’s the difference I was wondering about

verbal glacier
#

well i don't fully know about pathfinding but with have more kids the children can go out on the farm (i believe)

brittle pasture

it's "there are very few people in the modding scene who I trust can do it without the code exploding" level of difficult

Noooo SDVpufferwaaah

runic bolt
ornate locust
#

I haven't worked with farm buildings before so I'm not 100% sure it works the same way, but with tilesheets you can target spring_town for example and it should just change spring

runic bolt
#

Yeah, I want the overlay to change, depending on the season. Its targeting a custom shed I made

ornate locust
#

If it doesn't work the way I just said for farm buildings, then you can put a conditional on your overlay patch to just work in the season you want

# 
        "Season": "spring"
    }```
#

like that

#

Or you could make the overlay itself seasonal, like spring_overlay, summer_overlay etc. if you need a different one for each season

#

and the game just kinda handles things being seasonal

# 
              "Action": "EditImage",
              "Target": "Buildings/Big Coop",
              "FromFile": "assets/{{season}}Big Coop.png",
              "PatchMode": "replace"
       },```
Hmmm- ah, here's a random farm mod I just cracked open and how they make a seasonal big coop (this is BogWytch's). You can do the same with an overlay. The season dynamic token is useful
strong kite
#

Isn't there something you can do to have a modded item appear higher in a shop list like Pierre's? Adding a cooking ingredient that I'd like to have next to like rice and oil

ornate locust

ornate locust
# 
                { "Id": "Example.ModId_Pufferfish", "BeforeId": "(O)685" }```
specifically this for reordering
strong kite
#

Oh, alright thanks!

#

I thought it'd be like a SpaceCore function

runic bolt
#

yeah, but that replaces the whole building right? I m looking to add the overlay, and have it removed

ornate locust
#

that will make it overlay instead of replacing

#

You can do a different image for each season. If you don't need an image for some seasons, you can just do different FromFiles for the seasons you do use and do a "When" condition for the season.

runic bolt
#

yeah, but then the overlay wont change when the season changes😅

ornate locust
#

Er... it will though

#

"FromFile": "assets/{{season}}Big Coop.png",
{{Season}} is a dynamic token. It changes based on the ingame season. When it is spring, this image will be SpringBigCoop.png

#

When it is fall, it will be FallBigCoop.png, etc

#

So you do four overlays, one for each season, and whatever you want on them. And name them {{Season}}Whateveryourfilename.png

#

If you only want an overlay for (for example) Winter and no overlay for any other season, you just do FromFile as your overlay and add this instead as a condition.

        "Season": "winter"
    }```

#

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.

runic bolt

#

This When condition is doing nothing, and you don't need it:

        "Season": "{{season}}"```
#

You are already using the {{season}} token in the asset name

#

That When argument is basically telling the game "when the season matches the season it currently is, return true"

#

Just to check though, your actual filenames in the mod folder are assets/spring_Deco_ShedV2.png, etc. ?

runic bolt
#

they are, the overlays apply, but they don't disappear once the season changes

latent mauve
#

Are you sleeping through the seasons or using a debug command to switch them?

#

IIRC, the default update rate for a patch is once per day/at the start of the day, so if you are not changing that update rate and are using a command to switch it without sleeping, it likely won't update until the next day.

#

If that still doesn't work, can you post your SMAPI log?

#

Im using cjbcheats to change the season and then sleeping

Your PaintData also looks to be using the incorrect key based on where you have loaded your Shed as well, but that's a separate issue

latent mauve
# runic bolt What do you mean by this?

It's an oversight in the wiki that I discovered when creating my farmhouse skins, but the key the game expects in the Data/PaintData entry is your building's loaded Texture and not the building ID.

runic bolt
#

so, LADC.MoreSheds/ShedV2?

latent mauve
#

It's easily missed, because the farmhouse (which has houses as a Texture but Farmhouse as the building ID) is the only base game building that doesn't use the same name for both

#

I am genuinely not sure if it tries to prepend Buildings/ on the PaintMask texture key or not, because I loaded mine into Buildings and just prepended the texture with the {{ModId}} and an underscore instead of creating a new directory

royal stump
#

SDVpufferlurk it doesn't require the Buildings part, no, the paintmask key is just the texture asset target + _paintmask
(iirc from this last night, at least)

royal stump
latent mauve
#

I definitely think I just wrote {{ModId}}_JunimoFarmhouse for my PaintData key, which is the same as my texture.

#

But I can double check

lucid iron
#

In vanilla there exist a system to control NPC pathing, aka schedules

#

I don't like doing things that would void out something content mods normally interact with

#

For children this is not really a concern, because there's nothing that controls Child behavior outside of C#

is Maps/DeepMtnCrossroads used by an entry in Data/Locations? if it's a valid patch without conditions, the only reason it won't apply is if the game never loads the asset, iirc

#

i do see it in ES' locationdata.json

royal stump
#

(ah, couldn't find it for a sec, my ES was out of date)
if this is the map you're aiming for, you'll need to copy this target, rather than the map file name:

It won't if you're not changing to a temporary map that is the old unupgraded interior.

whole prism
#

all it does is "Target": "Data/Events/Trailer",

#

and it doesnt edit the map at all

#

just moves npcs around and dialogue

whole prism
uncut viper
#

Then it will use the upgraded trailer interior

whole prism
#

awesome, thank you!!!

uncut viper
#

That said you may need to adjust your script anyway to account for the changed interior if it matters

whole prism
#

if i do need to adjust it

#

what is the game state query I use to detect if that event has passed already

uncut viper
#

Also the game uses the mail flag pamHouseUpgrade in various places to determine if you've done it

thank you!

I regret leaving myself with 30+ item descriptions to write all at once

Though maybe I’m just burnt out from all the other things related to these items

which is better for a day/night tile combo? or are neither of them good?

rich seal
#

I'd say the one on the right. The wood grain effect looks really good too, but the lighting on the...lock? Looks better on the right one

brave fable
#

incidentally you might want to reduce the detail somewhat, the grainy wood style is mostly only used in pre-release furniture tiles, and the more recent ones have a flatter appearance

#

but it looks like you've added the details right onto the retro bed so if it's your decision then roll with it haha

rich seal
#

I agree, but the grain has charm. The flatness in vanilla Stardew has charm too, but damn that grain looks good for the scale it's at.

wanton pine
#

info on design choices is in posts from earlier today. Tech bit is a built in radio alarm clock.

#

basically, it's supposed to look worn.

*one on the right has a color mismatch, light parts of the daytime radio tuning display now match that of Harvey's radio gear.

Texture process: sample this kitchen from towninterior, slice and dice, add bridges of new texture in a matching style to prevent too much repetition in the tiles, tweak.

I’m trying to create a mod that uses Content Patcher along with Buff Framework to add a custom buff icon.
My goal is to add a custom food item, and when the player consumes it, a custom buff should be applied for a few seconds.

I’ve already successfully added the food item, but the custom buff doesn’t seem to trigger when it’s consumed.
There are no errors showing up, but the buff effect simply doesn’t activate.

Does anyone know what might be causing this?SDVpufferaww

brittle pasture
#

you shouldn't need Buff Framework for just regular food buffs right

#

anyway show your code?

sly path
#

Wait… is it possible to trigger a custom buff using a custom sprite with Content Patcher alone, without using Buff Framework? 😥

#

Just a moment, please.

it'd give you custom icon and description

wow

#

I didn’t think of that approach. It definitely seems worth trying. Thank you very much for your answer.

brittle pasture
#

as for your code I'm guessing you should be giving the item's internal name instead of display name in the consume field, but yeah consider using just CP and that's just one dependency instead of two

(Buff Framework is useful for cases not supported by the vanilla game; buff from eating though totally is)

before i potentially fuck up loads of things, can pulling from github erase what's on my hard drive, or will it merge/give me the opportunity to resolve merge conflicts?

#

i accepted a PR but i've done work on my desktop without pushing for a couple days now

brave fable
#

you won't be able to successfully pull if your uncommitted changes would conflict with the pulled changes; though if you commit your changes you'll be prompted to resolve merge conflicts

gaunt orbit
#

if you have uncommitted changes it will usually prompt you to commit before pulling, and then you resolve any merge conflicts after that

urban patrol
#

ahhh i see thank you

gaunt orbit
#

unless you force it, in which case yeah it'll delete stuff. but you have to specifically ask it to do that

brave fable
#

as for 'can pulling erase files from my local drive', yes, git will apply the remote changes to your local drive. if the changes include removing files, those files will be removed locally.

urban patrol
#

scary

brave fable
#

it helps to be aware of the ways you can use git to irreversibly erase your work

#

at least pulling deletions from remote is generally reversible

urban patrol
#

that's good at least

brave fable
#

i forget the seemingly innocuous git command that would completely wipe all your local files with no history. not reset hard of course

calm nebula
#

rm -r .git ?

brave fable
#

no as in a git command, not a terminal command

#

might've been to do with init, the memory is lurking at the back of my mind somewhere

#

i distinctly remember a very panicked forum (github?) post about someone who lost it all

#

bah i had such momentum on these little vignettes and now i'm stumped for composition

lucid mulch
#

you can do fun stuff with rebase (particularly interactive rebase) to nuke everything

brave fable
#

i've rebased away a good day or more of work before. i love rebase all the same

lucid mulch
#

my favorite horror story comes from someone in the steamdb irc/discord (Can't remember which) where they tried to interactively rebase the gametracking repo and ended up deleting their /usr/bin folder in the process and had to rsync it back from another distro

Okay, I've got a very specific situation: I've got a custom building with a paintmask, it also has a seasonal layer (snow on the roof in winter, grass along the bottom in spring, etc) set to overlay on the building texture and set to mask the paintmask.
However, if the building is painted in game, when the season changes neither the overlay nor the mask go into effect until you reset the game itself. When I sleep and hit Winter 1, there's no snow on the roof and there are still little mushrooms along the bottom of the building leftover from fall; if I close the game and restart it, it's working as intended; weirdly, if I go back to the main menu and restart the save without closing the game, the ovrlay changes properly, but it sticks with the previous season's mask on the paintmask.
Anyone have a similar situation? I've tried a couple things, like messing with the update rate and priority, but none of these have any affect.

brave fable
#

that's likely due to the paint mask texture not necessarily being used for the building, but rather loaded on paint changed (or building first loaded) and then being used to create an all-new texture instance from that data

rocky copper
#

Is there a way to get the game to update a paint mask texture?

calm nebula
#

Use the season offset buildings have inherently

#

One second

rocky copper
#

Does the season offset apply to the paint mask?

calm nebula
#

Yeah

rocky copper
#

Well, that's good to know. The seasonal stuff was so limited and it applies to multiple related buildings, I figured it was more efficient to have a single overlay per season than every building sprite to be 4 times its normal size.

this simple premise has haunted me for 5 years

#

Oh no

brave fable
#

so are you planning a custom menu or a simple existing one?

Ehhh idk tbh

Ideally i would want it to function like a chapter select menu

Wow incredible

The one thing i decide i want to do in C# is the one thing i shouldn't have

brave fable

well it's not the one thing you shouldn't want to make

hard fern
#

XD well at the very least, can i right click an item and have it bring up a multiple choice question

barren tapir
#

I believe so

brave fable
#

pretty sure you can yeah, spacecore lets you set an action on use iirc

hard fern
#

Even if it's not a custom menu i can at least try and half ass it by making my menus function as maps

brave fable
#

you'd just be making the action be a trigger action for dialogue that includes a question syntax

hard fern
#

Got it

barren tapir
#

Or you could use harmony patching, but that may be a bit overkill

hard fern
#

Welp im gonna be using spacecore a lot for this mod probably

barren tapir
#

Also probably not the best for a beginner

barren tapir
#

Though I don't want to discourage you from learning C#!

hard fern
#

Im so scared

brave fable
#

im sure it could help you ease into topics like execution flow but yeah a lot of concepts at once

#

honestly it's not all that bad, these are very doable tasks, but from zero experience you'd have to learn a bunch before you can really plan the solution

barren tapir
#

Yeah. Creating a GUI is a deep dive project 😅

hard fern
#

Well at least by not using C# im getting closer to my goal of doing absurd things in content patcher

brave fable
#

ill be the first to say menus and UI in sdv is not that bad, a lot of the basics foundations are done for us, it's just about making something usable and understandable with knowledge of SDV c# concepts

barren tapir
#

That's fine as well! I just never want to discourage people from learning or make people feel bad for not knowing something.

I find teaching to be very important

sullen rain
#

Hey guys

#

So I'm trying to get this track to play on only green rain days, but it's playing on all rainy days

#

Do I have this formatted correctly?

#

{
"Format": "2.8.0",
"Changes": [
{
"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Data/AudioChanges",
"When": "WEATHER GreenRain",
"Entries": {
"Rain": {
"ID": "rain",
"Category": "Ambient",
"FilePaths": [
"{{AbsoluteFilePath: assets/strangelullabye.ogg}}"
],
"Condition": "IS_GREEN_RAIN_DAY",
"StreamedVorbis": false,
"Looped": true
}
}
},
]

}

torpid sparrow
#

i dont think that when condition works

#

is that interfering with the entry condition?

#

a when is

When: { "blah blah blah" }

#

and if you already have the GSQ condition you shouldn't need the when

sullen rain
#

It does the same thing with or without the condition

#

I've tried both

torpid sparrow
#

ill go look at the GSQs but just choose 1

#

and format the when correctly

#

also the when condition is done wrong, it's a CP thing

#

it would be "When": { "Weather": "Green Rain" }

sullen rain
#

Ohh

#

Okay I'll try that

#

Thanks wem

torpid sparrow
# sullen rain Thanks wem

also the wiki page for audio doesn't have a condition as part of the fields, not sure if that would still work

#

if condition can't be used, then it's not working bc the When is done wrong so that's also not triggering

golden spire
#

Have things changed with audio? As I remember a long while ago you couldn't use when for audio changes as the changes were persistent upon load.

torpid sparrow
#

oh that i have no clue

torpid sparrow
#

@sullen rain i think this is the significant part

#

hmmmmmmmm

#

maybe the when condition will work idk

sullen rain
#

It did on my rainy days mod

#

That's why I've been confused

torpid sparrow
#

did u fix the when condition and did it work

sullen rain
#

I'm testing it now

devout otter
#

The wiki says this The override is applied permanently for the current game session, even if the asset is edited to remove it.

torpid sparrow
#

oh wow

#

that's kinda crazy

sullen rain
#

Yeah now there's no music at all

golden spire
#

well the audio is stored differently to other game assets

torpid sparrow
#

and now that a correct when condition is applied, it doesn't work bc it's not designed to work

sullen rain
#

Bah

ornate drift
#

morning

torpid sparrow
#

hi speedy

ornate drift
#

hows your mod going?

where are you wanting the rain sound change? or over the whole game or just a specific map?

torpid sparrow
sullen rain
#

Over the whole game

ornate drift

#

I wanted to give the green rain days a spooky soundtrack

torpid sparrow
#

her final big update is scheduled for tomorrow so going good

#

everything is done except for her fall outfit and that's easy to implement

sullen rain
#

But also make it compatible with my rainy days mod

ornate drift
#

oh wow, it's gonna be great

torpid sparrow
#

when conditions will still work on Location patches no?

#

would it be possible to just add the cue under ur unique mod id, and then patch it in conditionally to every location?

#

if there's a dynamic token

#

or some...token im not sure of the proper name

golden spire
#

game does some hardcoding I think to force the rain day ambience rather than play the map's music

devout otter
#

Problem is, location music doesn't play when it rains.

torpid sparrow
#

ah ok

golden spire
#

might be some very janky way around it

torpid sparrow
#

c# 2wut

#

could also request deharcoding

#

but thats way in the future

sullen rain
#

I was trying to use priorities along with conditions to load too but that just made either one track or the other load for all rainy days

golden spire
#

It's all down to music tacks not stored/loaded the same way other files are

devout otter
#

Cloudy Skies might be able to do it?

golden spire
#

they're not in xnb files in a music folder

sullen rain
golden spire
#

hmmm there is

    "MusicIgnoredInRain": true,
    "MusicIgnoredInRain": false,

in data\locations

so I guess that controls it @sullen rain

void aspen
#

does smapi/cp care if I use / or \

#

cuz I see these both used in different places

#

and I still don't remember how to if possible to tell them apart

#

in file paths in particular

brittle pasture
#

it doesnt matter in most cases; some data assets use / as a field separator and you'll need to use \\ for those

Any experienced custom farm map creators here? I am having trouble setting up being able to catch a few specific fish on a farm project I am working on. If someone could DM me and check my content patcher file and help me figure it out, that would be awesome, thaaanks! 🩷

!json unless your file has nsfw content you can post it here so everyone can look

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.

(but I recommend adding {{ModId}} to it to avoid potential collision)

flat snow
brittle pasture

make your farm name {{ModId}}_CountryParkFarm, then CP will automatically replace {{ModId}} with your mod ID in the manifest, increasing uniqueness

(your Data/Locations patch would then target Farm_{{ModId}}_CountryParkFarm)

for now though focus on getting your fish working

The mod itself is working 100%, the farm is loading and fully playable, just in the water I can only catch trash items and not the fish i set to spawn

yeah it's optional and mostly a conventions thing

In that farm_data link you sent me, i had read this before and it seems to provide this FarmFishLocationOverride but that would set my farm to just act as mountain/river/ocean fishing. When I examined other farm mods in TILED, they did not use this property at all on their farm. I was wondering if it was something to do with this BaseFarmType": "Standard" but then I wonder if removing that would ruin my mod

how does SMAPI resize existing images when they're reloaded 🤔

flat snow
#

The fishing fix worked but lmao what:

image.png
torpid sparrow
#

you get 2.8 fish per fish

flat snow
#

I don't know what that means 😭

#

I tried to add an extra 0 infront of my chance %s

lucid iron
#

2342% Trash SDVpufferpensive

flat snow
#

but that's not going to fix the trash

lucid iron
#

Is this fishing info overlay

flat snow
#

Yeah using it to test this farm fishing

lucid iron
#

Imo that's just mod bug and you shouldn't worry about it

torpid sparrow
#

you say that and now my pockets are exploding with trash

flat snow
#

but it works fine when I played on other modded maps :/

lucid iron
#

You should test if you get the other fish or not

#

If it works fine for player then yeah just report bug to fishing info

#

If it doesn't work and you only get one fish then u gotta fix prob

flat snow
#

First I changed trash % from "Chance": 0.22 to "Chance": 0.022 (and added the 0 to other fish entries) and this happend SDVcharwilly

#

testing fishing

#

hopefully it doesnt explode

#

caught a sunfish then it changed to this:

#

This is what I've caught so far, the two sunfish were my first two catches:

#

finally caught a seaweed

#

there is something really wrong

brittle pasture
#

can you show the current code

void aspen
#

I may be wrong but trash may have a higher weight in chances here

#

showing code would be smart here yeah

flat snow
#

Give me a moment and I'll repost the updated Json, shall I do it with the link or upload it directly

#

Also should I be worried about removing this: "BaseFarmType": "Standard"

brittle pasture
#

(BaseFarmType is not a real field)

flat snow
#

Strange because removing it changed how the fishing was displaying

brittle pasture
#

your code looks fine; i guess make sure that you reloaded the code + you're on the correct map?

flat snow
#

So the screenshots before were when I had the basefarmtype line, when I removed it and tested again, it looked like this:

image.png
#

but i feel like this trash % is way too high and all the other %s are way too low

#

I am wondering if it is adding the 100% default trash on top of my custom fishing list

#

either that or it is classing this as 66%:

              "Id": "CountryPark_168|169|172",
              "RandomItemId": [
                "(O)168",
                "(O)169",
                "(O)172"
              ],
              "Chance": 0.22
            }```
#

but i still feel like the %s wouldnt be so different if that was the case

brittle pasture
#

the global Trash entry has very low precedence so that shouldnt be an issue

flat snow
#

actually now I think about it, I was catching trash items that were not defined in my list, I only have 3 items listed for trash

brittle pasture
#

I havent made a new farm type though so someone else may have more info

flat snow
#

Hopefully 😋

quick question

#

when uploading a translation mod

#

how can I be sure it links to the original mod?

#

some people upload and it dosent link while others it does

flat snow
#

I removed that section of trash items to test my theory and this was the result:
(it's exactly the same as before i removed it)
So I think it's not registering my trash entry and just using the base game 100% value for it.

most editors have find/replace, though that still leaves you with writing the migration commands

whole prism
#

I know how to replace the ids

#

But that'd leave the player aith 0 daya

#

You can probably script the migration

#

Selph does CP migrate handle fishcaught

brittle pasture
#

yeah I'd whip up a python script

calm nebula
#

I'm hardheaded. I wohld try to do it with awk

whole prism
#

Cause im talking a large migration if possible

whole prism
#

For the default json

#

I already know how to migrate some things but an entire mod like this is not as simple

#

I dont have to migrate but wondered if there was a better way

brittle pasture
#

quests... dont think so
honestly I'd just leave stuff in place if this goes beyond stuff supported by the migrate trigger action

brittle pasture
#

me staring at all my old mods that used dots instead of underscores

whole prism
#

My id is literally

#

ASF

lucid iron
#

Do it in 1 migrateid traction

#

It takes a list of pairs and that's more efficient

whole prism
#

Maybe thisbisnt a good idea cause id also have to repair over 50 quests

#

That are active

#

I know how to migrate and fix active quests but its a pain to do it to 50

#

Hmm I dont thibk i should then too risky

<type> [<old id> <new id>]+:

#

U know how it says +

#

It means u can give multiple

#

Anyways i wouldn't bother at this point since u had some kinda namespacing as is

whole prism
#

I heard its a smart thing

#

Makes mod more performant and stable

it is the most up to date resource for content patcher, because it is provided to us by Pathoschild who maintains SMAPI and content patcher

summer spoke
#

I really do appreciate the help

severe cairn
#

pathoschild is keeping everything I find up to date I see them everywhere I go... legend

summer spoke
#

I'm beginning to understand that lol

severe cairn
#

Why did I think it was smart to add a turducken style recipe to my mod. How am I going to sprite that 😭

round dock
summer spoke
#

Right, so I made a content.json and a manifest.json and I've started a assets folder. I've saved everything in the Stardrop mod files, but it's not showing up on the menu.

Also @round dock, thank you I'll add it to my raeding list. I appreciate the help.

round dock
#

Not showing in the menu, as in your console?

summer spoke
#

Yeah, the Stardrop menu. The list of mods thing

verbal glacier
severe cairn
#

yeah new save

round dock
#

Okay, close and open it again then check mods you disabled. Although if anything you can just put the mod in your regular Mods folder in the game files.

#

after they added gem sea shores it broke again

summer spoke
#

Right, I'll do that, thank you

#

There it is, thank you

golden spire
#

Stardrop has a reload button, to refresh itself

hard fern
#

sorry

severe cairn
#

Do I have to try adding it as an unneeded dependency SDVpufferthinkblob I could suggest it to them but seeing as removing GSS removed some of their other minor gripes they might just leave it

#

I can't test it on my laptop cus my mod automatically loads after GSS does already

#

and I already did the priority thing to make it late

hard fern
#

how late? try making yours extra late

severe cairn
#

late + 100

ornate trellis
#

have you also tried a false dependency

severe cairn
#

gem sea shores does have late priority too, but its only late +1

severe cairn
fossil osprey

maybe one of their dependencies has a higher late???
