The original dynamic tokens are fine

lucid iron
#

having a lot of dt can be a perf problem but the "a lot" in here is pretty high monS

uncut viper
#

(though it's always better to reduce tokens that update constantly in general if possible, but its not always possible)

(plus what chu said)

lucid iron
#

its potatoes compared to editmap/editimage tbh

barren tapir
#

Great!... Still gonna need to move a bunch of things around though 😅

lucid iron
#

in a way that makes updatecontext notably more expensive

#

then combine it with something unfortunately forcing a time changed update context

barren tapir
#

So in theory, I could make "ShopThemeY" a token in C# instead of a dynamic token in a json file?

lucid iron
#

yea

barren tapir
# lucid iron yea

Dope. It'll be annoying to update things, but it's way better to do it now!

lucid iron

i do find this annoying myself so i just do me data edits in C# now blobcatgooglyblep

How to make VSCode not scream at json comments

In Visual Studio Code, go to File -> Preferences -> Settings, then search for "associations", and in the "Associations" setting, click the Add Item button to add an item with key *.json and value jsonc (see image).
If you are making a content pack for Content Patcher, you should consider using its json schema so that VSCode can tell you if your patches are valid, you simply have to add

"$schema": "https://smapi.io/schemas/content-patcher.json"

at the start of your content.json file.

To use this command, type !vscjsonc.

If I have 2 different map patches end up patching in the same coordinate area (for sake of laziness basically), will that cause any issues?

barren tapir
#

I'm trying to follow these instructions, but I'm getting an error in VC stating that the namespace "Framework" could not be found.

I can post additional details later (I just now realized how late it is, and am gonna make some dinner 😅)

u need to change all the using to what u actually need

brittle pasture
#

TIL adding a condition to a building output (e.g. mill) doesn't make the mill deny the item if the condition isn't satisfied, it just makes the mill swallow the item without producing anything

#

this complicate my plans just a little bit

lucid iron
#

that seems like vanilla bug blobcatgooglyblep

brittle pasture
#

hmm the mill still holds the item, it's just waiting for the condition to be true, eventually

lucid iron
#

ah so its not eaten just put into the input chest bolbthinking

#

can u take it back out

brittle pasture
#

not unless the building lets you

#

(the mill doesn't)

lucid iron
#

jank

brittle pasture
#

i'll submit report once I have min viable content pack SDVpufferrad

#

the fix is probably make GetItemConversionForItem also check that there's a viable output instead of just the input condition

#

@lucid iron I sanity checked this and SDV reroutes outputs automatically using pipewire.

#

Windows tho.

#

Well, SDV isn't doing anything. It's the OS I imagine.

#

@gaunt orbit I would be interested in this mod still. It would be a really good to have.

#

I do not understand the deep magic of soft_oal.dll.

#

Or how any of this would even work.

gaunt orbit
#

I dont have time to do this today but based on C code from stackoverflow and the monogame and OpenAL decompile, I should be able to do something like this

private static Func<string, bool>? SoftReopenDevice;

public static void Initialize(IntPtr ____device, int[] attributes)
{
  if(Alc.IsExtensionPresent(____device, "ALC_SOFT_reopen_device"))
  {
    var fn = FuncLoader.LoadFunction<Func<IntPtr, string, int[], bool>>(Al.NativeLibrary, "alcReopenDeviceSOFT");
    SoftReopenDevice = (s) => fn(____device, attributes, s);
  }
}

public static void Reload()
{
  SoftReopenDevice?.Invoke(null);
}

public static void Switch(string device)
{
  SoftReopenDevice?.Invoke(device);
}
#

NOT tested and would need harmony and other things, but I think this would make the correct openal native calls

barren tapir
#

Is this not how you add a config menu via C#? No matter what I try doing, it doesn't show up

brittle pasture
#

if you mean GMCM, you need to integrate support yourself

I think I'm gonna call it a night, but I'm making slow but steady progress. I may need to ask about registering tokens again, but rn I just need some sleep 😅

Hey all. I have a question regarding modding assets. Content Patcher has these Update conditions: OnLocationChange, OnTimeChange, OnDayStart

How would I make this more instant, like swapping sprite sheets in real time in response to flags etc? I can get flags to apply straight away when conditions are met, but content patchers fastest asset update is OnTimeChange and the delay is a problem.

I tried calling Helper.GameContent.InvalidateCache("Data/ObjectInformation"); within a method but it didn't seem to do anything.

uncut viper
#

You cannot.

#

The only way to make it instant is to do the edit in C# instead of Content Patcher and watch for the change you want to invalidate your asset. But you cannot make Content Patcher do its updates before it wants to.

brittle pasture
#

(also Data/ObjectInformation is no longer a thing after 1.6)

quick adder
# uncut viper The only way to make it instant is to do the edit in C# instead of Content Patch...

Sorry, I worded that poorly. I started in content patcher, which worked but was too slow. So I shifted to C# where I could get faster changes. I can get things like instant flags etc to work, but I have gotten confused as to how to get the asset to change instantly.

I saw Helper.GameContent.InvalidateCache("Data/ObjectInformation") on some documentation so tried that using the asset path like I would if using content patcher, in the C# method where I was setting some flags, but it didn't work. Is it as simple as something like that, or telling it to load x instead of y like content patcher seems to?

lucid mulch
#

you would need to register your own C# load/edits via the AssetRequested event and do your realtime aware edits in C# on the asset

brittle pasture
#

@next plaza not urgent but I have a PR to fix a bug in SpaceCore: https://github.com/spacechase0/StardewValleyMods/pull/577
(note that this is not tested because even after the capitalization changes I cannot get it to build on Linux, and honest to gods I don't know if it's a Linux problem, a me problem, or a problem in the code. If you/someone can build it and send me the zip I'd appreciate it)
(EDIT: Got it working thanks to chue)

#

ok I think the issue is I shouldn't be building against develop?

#

actually no that's the right branch, hmm

green spruce
#

so iv'e been having a problem getting my sprites to work i made sure it was a .PNG but I'm not sure if i may have done something wrong i did fallow the guide i was given but they still don't seem to be working

#

hmm I was under the impression SC needs that code somehow, guess not lol

#

will try tomorrow SDVpufferchicknight

lucid iron
#

Yeah let me make a patch for you

brittle pasture
#

if you can, post a screenshot of the file explorer

#

(the NPC data is also wrong, per the warning, but we'll get to that)

green spruce
#

this is where the guide said they should be placed

Screenshot_8.png
brittle pasture
#

your folder is named img

#

whereas your code is images

#

you can rename the folder to match

green spruce
#

oh.. i did not think that effect it mm ill fix that

brittle pasture
#

computers are dumb; everything needs to match

green spruce
#

ok i fixed the folder name -m-

brittle pasture
#

anyway your image should load, but you still need to fix your NPC data

Creating a Custom NPC

Keep in mind that making NPCs is a complex process that requires learning many different aspects of Stardew modding.
Here are a few links that can help get you started on all that you need to know:

To use this command, type !npc.
green spruce
#

i have two different things for that one info it says is wrong... but they look much different and idk if it will effect that part badly... both r based off of two different guides

brittle pasture
#

you're probably using some old 1.5 guides

#

you should follow the tutorials above

green spruce
#

that is the one i did fallow for making this one ... i still need to fill out some parts.... i think i get a bit confused over some things... like when it says ID like is that the mod name or the name i set for the NpC in the coed ... once this is filly fixed i feel i should move it to the content.jaso IN place of the other one correct?

Screenshot_9.png
brittle pasture
#

you just put in {{ModId}} as is, Content Patcher will transform it into your mod ID for you

#

and yes that Data/Characters code replaces the old disposition code

green spruce
#

OK! thank you so much :> i really appreciate your help!!!

Is it possible to basically "resumeAdvancedMoves" after stopAdvancedMoves?

I added some advancedMove commands for winter25 to make it less dead but for Secret Santa cutscene I had to use stopAdvancedMoves, so when the cut scene ends nobody resume moving. Or there is no way to do it without Set-Up and MainEvent etc?

uncut viper
#

no. using stopAdvancedMoves completely deletes the pathfinder that makes them go. it doesnt just pause them. they would need to be remade

Can I do a EditMap triggered by an event and have it happen straight away after the event is done, not the next day?

quick adder
#

So ah, is there a way I can make the game update all characters dialogues? I was trying to set flags where the dialogue will change based on which flag is there, but I wanted it to be more real time sort of thing rather than waiting till the next day.

Best I managed was this in C#
foreach (NPC npc in Utility.getAllCharacters())
{
Game1.npcDialogues?.Remove(npc.Name);
}
Which is stronger than I wanted lol. It causes characters to repeat dialogue if they had been spoken to before

Also tried this, but it just clears the dialogue, including dialogue that hasn't been seen
foreach (NPC npc in Utility.getAllCharacters())
{
npc.CurrentDialogue.Clear();
}

Can't wait till after work to get back to whatever it was I was working on last night.

I believe I was in the process of learning how to define a GMCM config + tokens in C#, but I was also basically working while half asleep 😅.

quick adder
barren tapir
#

I decided to mark what books I've added logic for, and I'm about 50% complete. Of the remaining books, I believe only 1 to 3 more will require C# (granted, I need to redo a lot of CP once I figure out the aforementioned config and tokens in C#).

The real question will be if I can figure out how to do the pig book

image0.jpg
gray bear
#

hmm

barren tapir
#

I want the book to let you feed golden animal crackers to pigs. I know there are a few mods that do this, but I haven't found any that are open source.

In time I could probably figure it out, but I'm perpetually busy

gray bear
#

maybe make pigs produce even if its raining/snowing?

#

or just in winter cause i think they simply do nothing

barren tapir
#

Maybe 🤔

#

I've also been actively dreading figuring out the logic for my next Money Sinks mod, as I'm almost certain it'll require me to make a GUI via C# ☠️

#

That coupled with a myriad of compatibility issues 😅

hard fern
#

good luck

gray bear
#

i mean u can C#

#

i just hit things with a wrench

#

the wrench is content patcher but the point stands

hard fern
#

why not next update for money sinks be sink furniture item that u right click and it gives you a random range of g everyday. low chance to hit the jackpot and get 10000g

gray bear
#

i can't even make the config have like clickable sections bc i am scared

#

gambling

barren tapir
#

The reason why I don't want to do GUIs is bc I do that pretty much full time for my IRL job, despite having a masters in Quantum computing and the job title of "systems security engineer" 😅

gray bear
#

engineers make guis i guess

barren tapir
gray bear
#

GUIs are like, menu things right

barren tapir
gray bear
#

i see i see

#

well money sink... maybe like, collectibles

#

than again that requires like, sprites of stuff

or like, buy a random planet somewhere

My plan for the next mod in this series is probably going to be more community upgrades from Robin. But first I want to finish v2 of my most recent mod in the series!

gray bear
#

ooh yeah

#

that's some i want too

#

more upgrades! i should be mayor anywa

barren tapir
#

I have a list of plans somewhere. About half of them are solely cosmetic features. The big issue is going to be compatibility with mods like SVE

gray bear
#

simply,,, don't do it™

barren tapir
#

Plus it'll force me to learn how tf NPC schedules work

nova gale
#

is there a way to set a mail key or event id once a given building has been built? I want an event to play only after a certain special order has been fullfilled and a custom building has been built

gray bear
#

npcs schedules are mostly "go here at x time" and that is it™

barren tapir
gray bear
#

ah, well

barren tapir
nova gale
#

ooh, I may have found it, i can set the special order to trigger with a GSQ on buildings_constructed so you don't get the special order until after the building has been built

barren tapir
# gray bear ah, well

Though I do suppose I could replace at least one of my planned upgrades with unlocking the garden SVE gives you in year 2 🤔

nova gale
#

then the special order sets the mail flag that will trigger the event

Hey guys. I am testing my custom farm mod and I noticed something strange. When I use lookup anything to inspect the Woodskip fish, it says it can spawn on my farm but I haven't added it to the fishing table in data/locations. Any idea why it's saying that?:

image.png
torpid sparrow
#

i thought woodskip was able to be caught at the farm in general?

#

albeit a low chance?

#

ah when it's a forest farm, it's able to be caught

#

not sure if your map has anything that would have caused that same outcome

fossil osprey
#

yeah maybe you've used some of the forest farm properties on your water body?

flat snow
#

I'm not sure how or where I would have done that. When I check with fishing info mod it doesn't show it can spawn on the list:

image.png
#

very strange anomoly

gray bear
#

there's also some ocean fish on there

flat snow
#

I made this custom fishing table

tiny zealot
flat snow
#

No it's a completely new farm

timid wind
#

In what ways is priorities in mods handeled? Specifically with content patcher stuff. Im trying to add a power that increases an items price after i complete it and it works for vanilla items but not getting it to change Cornucopia items.

fossil osprey
#

there is a priority field

#

you can also use dependencies, but I'm not knowledgable on that front

tiny zealot
#

i think it's overall better to use patch priority rather than dependency/load order, but it's still less than ideal (since you have to use an absolute priority and can't just make it relative)

#

anyway, you'll have to check cornucopia's files to see what priority they are using for their items. since they are mostly adding new ones, it is likely they are not specifying one, so it should be default

#

and for your edits you'd add
"Priority": "Late"
as a field at the same level as Action/Target/When

timid wind
#

Something like this?

image.png
tiny zealot
#

yeah, but don't forget the comma

timid wind
#

Fork i just noticed that, it started screaming red

brittle pasture
#

that's probably why your edit isn't applying

#

should be Data/Objects like all object data

timid wind
#

It was giving me error before saying cant apply patch etc

brittle pasture
#

showing the actual error would help

green spruce
#

question how would i replace the 1st with the 2nd without making the problem worse .... i tried to replace the paret that did not seem to be working right with the new updated way of making that info and it had a bunch new things that i could not fully understand

Screenshot_12.png Screenshot_9.png
timid wind
#

Weird i cant replicate the error but changing the target makes it work! Thanks very much for all the help SDVkrobushappy

#

you don't need that

it's also very difficult to read screenshots

ocean sailBOT

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.
green spruce
#

sorry i was looking for the website i had it saved

golden spire
#

ok you have a block of old data outside of your changes [ ] not an additional one

#

it's invalid json

green spruce
#

so would i replace that part of that or just not use that part

golden spire
#

I've not checked to see if the Data/Characters part is missing anything, but it's valid in terms of json

it does this

golden spire
#

what is your content.json?

green spruce
torpid sparrow
#

u dont need multiple formats and changes

golden spire
#

I think you need to understand the basic formating of a patch

green spruce
#

:( I'm trying i was fallowing the guide

#

this was it b4 added the chaged part but it says it is not working

golden spire
# 
{

            "Target": "Portraits/Abigail",
            "FromFile": "assets/abigail.png"
        }
    ]
}

this is a single patch for a very simple mod

changes contains all your patches and edits

if you wanted to do a new action/change you add another inside the changes

{
    "Format": "2.9.0",
    "Changes": [

there a 2nd patch/edit has been added after the first one

            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }

you want that inside your single changes [] but after the previous patch (and remember to add a comma, as it's just a giant list)

green spruce
#

adding the new part i would want one one set of changes [ ] like where the tings starts has one at the top and bottom so would i remove the ones from that block to keep it in the single changes ? or did i not get what you said..

#

and fix it to not be a big list?

golden spire
#

a mod with 0 alterations

would be just this

{
    "Format": "2.9.0",
    "Changes": [

\\All of your changes go inside here.

    ]
}
green spruce
#

yes what i'm asking is do i remove the 2nd changes in this it has one at the top so i should remove the one in the middel ?

#

so it is all under only one

golden spire
#

you want to get rid of the one in the middle and the ] } belonging to it

#

which is on line 54 and 55

green spruce
#

like this ?

Nice! I might need to make a Legend of Zelda/less modern ticket machine reskin for Central Station on my NPC Overhaul mod

I don't mind if the inside of the station looks out of place, but the modern ticket machine at the BusStop takes me out of the immersion every time, LOL

Nice, those may be a helpful starting point if you don't mind them being adapted!

so 2 are semi-dead reskins

This is messy but is it possible to nest quickquestion commands in an event script? like option 4 of a qq starts its own quickquestion, and then option 4 of that one has it's own?

tiny zealot
#

i don't believe so, but even if it is you'll go insane trying to escape it. use switchEvent inside the qq to break out and handle it that way

latent mauve
#

I believe you can probably trigger new events through quick question

#

Yeah, that

faint ingot

I basically want a quickquestion with 15 options and trying to break it up

I always felt like adding a troll event where vincent comes to your door and asks if you want to play a game... if you say no.. the event ends, if you say yes.. Vincent says he is going to beat you at a staring contest... and then the event just pauses for a very long time

faint ingot

I can work with switchEvent if that makes the most sense

they're just adding a new way to handle stuff like that which should be easier to deal with

get some wood glue

gaunt orbit
# lucid iron What's the behavior

so I accidentally had two farmhouse interior mods installed. The morning after upgrading, the layout was fucked up, which made me realize that, so I quit without saving and fixed the mods. When I reloaded, some stuff was out of place but still there (the bed, mainly, but also a few random furniture bits), but everything I had placed before was gone

lucid iron
#

Hrm i wonder if one of the farmhouse had initial furniture props and then the constructor triggered again

Do u have a previous day save to try with

I haven't checked but save backup is still installed so I should

Yeah i meant like a _old save

I wanna see if a normal upgrade without the 2 different farmhouse installed is still cursed Bolb

#

I also wonder if there's jank if u load a save on the day of house upgrade

#

Also is this the single bed to double bed upgrade? That may affect things

ornate drift

how am i supposed to test if a specific dialogue works ingame

gaunt orbit

it is the first upgrade, single to double bed yes

ornate drift
#

do i really have to switch to specific days and years 😭

and I do have _old save files, let me reload with those and see what happens

so the issue does seem to be related to changing farmhouse maps

golden spire
#

well it's easy to do, just use cjbcheats or debug commands and debug sleep on the spot

#

and use mods that fast forward time

torpid sparrow
#

Just festival, movie, some marriage, green rain, and specific things like questions

golden spire
#

I'm pretty sure there are lot of people who have dialogue for their NPCs that just never ever fires because it's so rare or impossible to actually fire

faint ingot
#

I don't test all dialogue either but I also mess it up all the time

#

So I tried the method of using switchEvent to break up a large number of quickQuestion responses. I have 5 groups of responses each of which have 3 options and a 'none of these' which goes to the next group. For some reason no matter which option I pick always goes to the first group of responses, endlessly. Not sure why. JSON: https://smapi.io/json/none/e5cd6e84b02b4bc3b570ea26ba5466e7

calm nebula
#

Without looking at your json (sorry!), but I've heard reports that if you do a switchEvent out of a quickQuestion the first command can be finicky

#

So always have pause 1 as the first command

faint ingot

oh you're right that's a bug with quickquestion i forgot about. i'll look at that thank you

I'm making a mod with this currently in content.json https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/7271d918b00144f68a8fc71686ae2c68 that changes the price of Squid Ink to 250g. It works fine when I spawn in Squid Ink using CJB Item Spawner, but if I pick up ink from a fish pond instead, it sells for the normal 110g. Any ideas why this might be happening? Not seeing any errors related to this mod in my SMAPI log. (First screenshot is a spawned-in item, second is from fish pond, on the same save)

Can someone help me figure out how to add this crafting recipe as a skip action for an event? I'm trying to make it so when you skip the event, you get the crafting recipe for ancient seeds, but I can't get the key to work. I thought it would look like this: MarkCraftingRecipeKnown All "Ancient Seeds"
But "Ancient" and "Seeds" get read separately. It doesn't work without the slashes or without the quotes and slashes either

torpid sparrow
#

the when conditions are the same as the ones on the equivalent SVE event

#

(well i mean except for the hasmod lol so there's just one condition that's the same)

urban patrol
#

i don't think you can do that with a space delimiter

gaunt orbit
urban patrol
#

you'll probably have to copy the original and null it out

torpid sparrow
#

so just, don't add a delimiter and incorporate the spaces in the value?

torpid sparrow

i thought someone said they were able to textoperations an event last week

#

and not copy paste the whole event

#

oh wait im stupid

#

err it doesn't need a delimiter let me try again

hmm but gives me error

#

okay yeah idk

urban patrol

replace delimited requires a delimiter. my understanding is fuzzy but iirc you can't use space because it'll stop looking after every space

#

but there's no other delimiter to use

torpid sparrow

im confused are you saying replacedelimited is just borked

#

or for this type of replacement

it's not borked, it's functioning as intended, but i'm not sure of the exact correct way to do it

Good morning everyone! I came up with a somewhat crazy idea haha I want to update the “firmware” of one of my machines. For the player to upgrade the wind turbine, they’ll need to create a new metal alloy, but the machine that makes it doesn’t have the data loaded, so the developer company will send an update to the machine so it can produce the alloy.

Basically, what I want to do is have a rule disabled until the player reaches a certain point in my mod’s story, receives a letter, and then the rule becomes active. It felt like a good way to simulate a firmware or software update and make it feel organic within my mod, but I haven’t been able to get it to work. I can block the rule, but then I can’t re enable it except if I use HasMod, and I don’t want to do that because there’s no simple way to implement it without player intervention.

I tried the following
HasFlag
HasMod
HasReadLetter
HasFlag currentPlayer
HasReadLetter currentPlayer
HasCraftingRecipe currentPlayer

In some cases, after receiving and reading the mail, when I try to trigger the rule the machine no longer shows the invalid item error, but it still doesn’t do anything. Before receiving the mail, it did show the error, which makes me think the rule is being injected but for some reason isn’t working. I used a simple control rule to confirm that the machine itself works.

to start, the currency is a shop-wide field, so you'll (likely) need to transpile all occurences of that field just for your one shop item

I’ll try again with the condition, maybe I wrote something wrong the first time I tested it. If you’re saying that condition should work, then I want to give it another try.

The mail arrives, I open it, I read it, and then I go to the machine and the rule doesn’t work. The copper one works, which doesn’t have any conditions since it’s the control rule, but the other one doesn’t. I’ll try it one more time.

It didn’t work, or I should say it only partially works. There’s a generic error message that shows up before the mail if I try to put the item into the machine, but once I read the mail, that message stops appearing when I try to insert the trigger item into the machine. However, if I use another item that doesn’t have any rule in the machine, the machine’s error message does show up. The copper control rule works as well.

You can't use GSQs to condition CP patches

#

you need to use When

strong kite

aw man

so iirc these should work then?

image.png
brittle pasture
#

your first Condition was fine you didn't need to change it SDVpuffersweats

strong kite
#

Wha? But it wasn't working?

brittle pasture
#

it's not working probably because you still need to check the item being eaten

#

and also you need to set MarkActionApplied to false so it can repeat

strong kite
#

tbh I wonder where else I might need to put MarkActionApplied: false

brittle pasture
#

to recap:

  • When is a CP construct; it sits on the top level of a patch (same level as Entries/Target/etc.), and it controls whether the patch gets applied and the data is changed
  • Condition is a game construct; it's part of game data (so inside Entries/etc.), and its meaning depends on where it gets used, but it usually controls whether the entity in question will apply a certain change. and you can only use this if the game model in question explicitly have it

feel free to show your code

tbh I'm not sure what you mean by check the item?

#

Like in the object file?

brittle pasture
#

unless this applies to every item?

strong kite
#

No, this is for a specific item ID

void aspen
#

mmm apples

brittle pasture
#

then you need ITEM_ID Input YourDesiredItemhere

#

also your existing condition is "if the player doesn't have the flag"

strong kite
#

I'm aware. I want it to give the debuff if the player doesn't have the flag, so once they have the flag they no longer get the debuff

#

This is what the code looks like atm. The debuff applies at all times regardless of whether or not the flag is set

Is this the right debug command?

And yes I've slept to the next day to try it and it still doesnt work

#

Is it possible there's some weird shenanigans going on with the SpaceCore trigger behind the scenes? Which I only suggest because it wouldnt be the first issue I've found relating to something from SpaceCore

royal stump
#

testing on a new save entirely might help; if you ever save after testing a trigger that doesn't have "MarkActionApplied": false,, it'll be skipped from then on, even if you set it false afterward

anyway the debug there is correct, assuming that's the right mod ID etc

That condition seems to work fine on new and old saves. It should disable spawning only after someone gets that mail flag. It might help to try it again with "StrictTileChecking": "Medium" to see if it's a tile issue. Beyond that, you can edit Stardew Valley\smapi-internal\config.json like this to enable more logging, then upload the log after loading a save, and I can see if I spot something:

"VerboseLogging": ["Esca.FarmTypeManager"],

You'd probably want to check whether the mod you're thinking of is installed, e.g. with the SMAPI helper's mod registry:
https://www.stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/APIs/Integrations
e.g. Set a static field or something to "$20" if a mod exists that you know adds that, or "$l" if it doesn't. Then you can use that field in your dialogue strings. (Details really depend on how your mod works, but that's the idea.)

# lucid iron it is prob a difficult to repro problem but ill keep eye on it

Yeah no it didn't load the map when I had both, that's part of how I noticed it. Still erased the furniture though which is weird and doesn't make much sense

Not sure what happened with the item deletion, but the duplicating furniture should be replicable by just adding cozy nooks to an existing save that's using the vanilla farmhouse

#

I glanced at the source for the feature earlier and I couldn't find a reason for it to do that, so the mechanics of it are a mystery to me

It could also be a conflict with another mod

yea i thought it might be the _FarmHouseFurnitureAdd stuff but cozy nook doesnt use that

It's also weird that it affects craftables, which is what makes me think another mod is involved

At least I'm pretty sure the phone is a craftable

those would never be selected to spawn until a player has at least level 2 combat skill, and if that's the only monster in the area's list, nothing will spawn

Don't suppose anyone here is an expert in the rules behind buffs and stacking? Trying to implement a buff that stacks but the rules are getting me a bit confused.

#

Yeah so... I have a drink that applies a buff on use and activates a trigger action, but it doesn't stack. It seems like the ID might need to be set to Drink to activate it? But then it would drop the trigger action right? And then there's two IDs for Buffs defined in ObjectBuffData?

I may be lost in the sauce but typing that out helped me kinda organise my thoughts so I'm keeping going, but if anyone has been down this route before I'd love to hear your findings

So I'm looking up the modding page for Buildings- does this require C#?

fast plaza
#

well I got a bit of a hacky solution built atleast. I hope at some point stardew gets a buff code rework or someone builds a buffs framework. Having more control over buffs and adding stuff like enemy buffs/debuffs would be really neat. I've hacked together some ways to do these things but they're extreeeemely gross to read. Just somerhing on the wishlist

Anyone know an example I can use then? I work MUCH better with an example to start from and the wiki doesn't seem to have one. Unless the kind of example I'm looking for would be from the Content Patcher docs

hxw buildings for example, they have individual ones which you can look at

Hm.. For clarification, maybe "building" is the wrong word for what I'm wanting to do. I essentially want to make an Obelisk that the player can build on the farm

Coulda sworn drink buffs could stack with other drink buffs but that doesn't sound right anymore

barren tapir

#

Fair enough fair enough

barren tapir
#

If your doing C#, you could look into what the desert festival does, as it stacks with both food AND drink buffs

fast plaza

Yeah I did some research into that but it wasn't quite what I was looking for for my purposes.

barren tapir
#

Perhaps, even, the same boat

fast plaza
#

Maybe? I'm working on a overheal type thing. Had a previous thing going but it was using more harmonylib patches than id like so I'm trying to cut that down.

#

Hoping I can work with buffs to do that. Got a nice solution going rn atleast, just gotta implement the ondamage side of things.

#

What about you? If ya don't mind sharing

barren tapir
#

I need to look through my notes bc its been a while. But I essentially want to modify the buff of an item at random.

#

One method I looked at was trying to stack buffs

fast plaza

Oo that sounds neat yeah

Like the item would apply a random buff on consumption? Sounds like you could do something like that with game state queries but god knows it's never that simple.

Though I've been a but preoccupied with other mods atm 😅. I wasted basically all of my limited modding time over the past two days trying to do a super fancy thing to save me from having to copy and paste like 2 or 3 lines of code...

a conditional buff is conceptually simple, but since nothing in the game has ever needed it, it's not implemented

monsters don't have any internal framework for applying buff effects

there's not even any hacky buff-like effects

Could I apply that functionality to one custom placed object on the farm and one persistent placed object off the farm?

barren tapir

though i'll admit i did the same for a mod way back

I'd agree usually but since it's time based I'd have to apply it in the update method and type casting string to int for multiple monsters every game tick sounds like it'd lag the game so bad

That's assuming monsters have a moddata field and I honestly can't remember if they do

So I wouldn't be able to use the code for my purposes?

i believe the warp function of mini-obelisks is handled in C#

strong kite
verbal glacier
#

there might be a framework that could help, no clue tho

eh.. I might be better off not worrying about it. Would there be any other solution to having a warp off-farm take you in front of a building/obelisk on the farm?

verbal glacier
#

totems?

strong kite
#

Uhh not quite

#

Basically, I want to give the player the ability to place a warp to my custom location on their farm which I'm doing like an Obelisk. This warp leads to the area, of course. I then want a warp in the custom location to take you back to in front of the obelisk on your farm

verbal glacier
#

Why specifically back to the obelisk on the farm?

strong kite
#

Because it's like a portal, it would make sense for it to take you to the other side of the portal

If it's not possible I can work with that, but if It is possible (without C#) then I wanna try it first

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.

if you're willing to add one more dependency you can set a custom builder menu

Honestly I might give up on the whole acting like a shed thing and just find a point on the farm for it to warp you back to cuz otherwise this is going to be SO much more complicated in my head than it needs to be

#

My first thoughts are either have it send you to the door of the farmhouse, or have it send you to where the warp totem sends you. But I'm saying these on the assumption there's special warps for those (not sure why I think there is for the door of the house tbh)

#

Though tbh any location works for me as long as it's consistent across all the farm types and accounts for moving buildings (like moving the farmhouse)

brittle pasture
barren tapir
#

I think I figured it out

#

Maybe

brittle pasture

also i browsed the code and if an interior location (instanced or not) has a Warp to the farm then that warp should take you back to the building's entrance

other warps are untouched

Cuz it's not taking back to the outside of the portal, and instead the coordinates I specified

Ah shoot, alright. I appreciate the help!
-# my brain is registering the pieces on how to make it work but not actually comprehending it Tiredkip

I don't know why I'm struggling to grasp how this works so badly

#

Okay. For now, I'm just completely disregarding the whole interior and human door thing and whatever- Shit ain't workin, it's stressin me out. So I'm just gonna go with an implementation I know functions and possibly return to this later when I have a clearer mind

so whats the difference bwteeen a human door and an inhuman door

strong kite
hard fern
#

huh

#

since humans are technically animals can we go through both doors SDVdemetriums

strong kite
#

I mean you can try

#

Anyway, is there a way I can call on the Return Scepter or Farm Warp Totem's code for the warp home?

#

all the animation and frill with those is handled by C#, but I see that BETAS has a trigger action that can warp the player

#

(also in case it matters, the return scepter and the farm warp totem go to different places)

strong kite
#

I'm aware, I just need it to send you to a "fixed" location that can vary

#

I can't just do Farm 48 7 because not every farm type has the totem point at 48 7

#

I wont mind a mod that allows me to use the barn gate tbh

#

and mb that little coop door

#

This is what I've got so far, and yea this works but it's not universal for every farm type

#

the totem location is determined by the map property (on the Farm) WarpTotemEntry, so if there's a way for you to get info about a map property then you might be able to?

strong kite
#

Maybe I just find a way to set conditions based on the farm type. but that would mean no compatibility with modded farm types Azusob
I definitely don't know how to call upon that map property

half tangle
#

yeah, I'm not seeing anything helpful in the wiki or the CP docs (I live in C# land primarily)

strong kite
#

So best bet might be to wait for someone to come by who does know how to do this. Is there a mod anywhere that has a functionality like this?

#

probably, but which one? no idea

#

is your issue that you want a traction that doesn’t use specific coords?

strong kite
#

I just want a traction that will warp you to a consistent location regardless of farm type or building position

urban patrol
#

i once again bust in after not backreading

strong kite
#

Most preferably on the farm

urban patrol

#

but you can’t use 48 7 because farm maps vary?

strong kite
#

Yea. The place the warp totem sends you would be perfect cuz it's always a clear tile. No debris or player placed objects that might get in the way.
But the warp totem doesn't take you to the same coordinates on every farm type

urban patrol
#

gotcha

#

@lucid iron is a traction that warps the player to the farm warp statue in MMAP’s scope

#

or a tile property you could define as a landing point

#

you can use that with this or just this as normal

#

oh wait nvm you said it wasn’t a building

#

sorry i just woke up from a nap

strong kite
#

Well no no hold on

#

This IS a building that warps you to my custom location, then theres a warp there that's meant to send you back to the farm

#

I WAS trying to figure out how to have it warp you in front of the building
