Did you add texturename?
ornate drift
wait wait wait
orchid glade
Just so I know what we're working with
ornate drift
okay so his PORTRAITS work but
gray bear
he is here
orchid glade
me too, manny
ornate drift
his sprites dont
gray bear
what did you put sprite code as?
orchid glade
Try that then
ornate drift
what did you put sprite code as?
sprite code?
ornate drift
Try that then
can you show me an example
gray bear
like in the apprearence section, what's written in sprites?
ornate drift
like from an existing mod
gray bear
and this is 100% what's that loaded as?
orchid glade
Not off the top of my head. Try:
"TextureName":"{{ModId}}/Manny_Spring"
gray bear
i don't see a loaded spring sprite in your code
ornate drift
i don't see a loaded spring sprite in your code
thats because i removed it earlier it was supposed to be default
gray bear
than have it as Characters/{{ModId}}_SpeedyManny for spring
pls hold as i rmrbr what target without path does
orchid glade
pls hold as i rmrbr what target without path does
it just takes the part after the last /
from the target
verbal glacier
pls hold as i rmrbr what target without path does
gray bear
ah alright then
ornate drift
my brain is melting
gray bear
should be right. can you share the code again?
ornate drift
one sec lemme try texturename
orchid glade
one sec lemme try texturename
You're trying lots of things so I think it's getting a bit messed up. But you need to make sure when you change things that everything still matches up. Whether you use {{ModId}}_SpeedyManny or {{ModId}}/Manny_Spring, you need to make sure you:
- load the asset
- use that asset name in your Data/Characters patches
gray bear
you can do both of these in the same file if it helps you with matching names ^
orchid glade
The last code you sent through, you were not loading Manny_Spring, so you couldn't use that in Appearances or as the texture name
gray bear
there isn't actually a need to make disposition a separate file, it just helps with organization
ornate drift
the portrait i sent earlier is Summer
the Summer sprites arent loading
orchid glade
And the dispos file?
gray bear
i think TextureName is actually throwing it off here
ornate drift
i think `TextureName` is actually throwing it off here
it was the same before it
so no
gray bear
oh
orchid glade
And there are no typos in the .png file name?
gray bear
it's Sprite and not Sprites
orchid glade
Good spotting
ornate drift
fuck 😭
gray bear
the good news is that after that it should just work as intented
orchid glade
Also, the TextureName is not under Appearance, it's at the same level as Appearance
ornate drift
tho i should probably add the _spring back into the content later
orchid glade
So you just put it once
ornate drift
i see
orchid glade
tho i should probably add the _spring back into the content later
(yes don't forget that)
"Appearance": [...```I'm still not 100% sure that will work, but it's an educated guess.
orchid glade
Did you add the _Spring back in?
gray bear
he
orchid glade
Ahh, hmm
gray bear
i, have no idea. does that menu use special sprites or something
ornate drift
Dont think so, other NPCs have it just fine
orchid glade
There is the hidden gift log emote, but if you don't have them set they are meant to just be walking
gray bear
do you have the same amount of sprites as other npcs?
ornate drift
i dont think all npcs have the same amount
orchid glade
i dont think all npcs have the same amount
Yeah that's fine, normal
But that is Haley's Spring sprite
ornate drift
There is the hidden gift log emote, but if you don't have them set they are mean...
yeah i dont have them set, but theyre invisible
orchid glade
Add Spring and see if they show
orchid glade
Dont think so, other NPCs have it just fine
spring!
gray bear
yeah, you even told it to do that with TextureName
that's the purpose of that according to wiki
he's just hiding he's completely corporeal
orchid glade
It's weird though that the friendship menu there is showing the winter ones. I just dont know when it uses the Appearance given that the TextureName description says that Appearances are ignored
strong kite
The urge to get more meta with my recipe descriptions because I lowkey am running out of ideas is getting stronger and stronger 
ornate drift
There is the hidden gift log emote, but if you don't have them set they are mean...
speaking of which, maybe i should add that
strong kite
I think I'll have added over 100 new recipes to my mod since the last time I worked on it (2 years ago) so maybe it's not surprising
Especially when I have to come up with descriptions for foods involving some of the least interesting berries in Pokemon 
ornate drift
hes still invisible
...but his portraits and sprites work in Spring
this game bro 💔
hes still invisible in social
orchid glade
Share your full code again so we can see what you've got now?
ornate drift
wait what about all the other seasons?
ornate drift
ah ok
orchid glade
I really hope it works though 'cause if not I'm out of ideas 
ornate drift
YES
thank you so much
just to check the last one, how can i force an NPC to go to ginger?
orchid glade
For testing purposes?
torpid sparrow
Have you considered that manny is shy
ornate drift
yeah to see if their beach works
orchid glade
Ok I have a mod to help with that
ornate drift
(...even though his bakery is a bit farther from the town)
honestly i wasnt expecting to make a mod this big
but hell if IM ever giving up 
orchid glade
Use this to exlude all the vanilla NPCs from GI, which should make the game choose him (as long as you don't have also other mods on the test save). Credit - Aba gave me the code I just made it a little mod
ornate drift
so it forces the base NPCs not to go?
orchid glade
Yeah
ornate drift
neat
i should REALLY update mods more often 😭
im too busy tinkering with my bear
bro hes not going 💔
i have CanVisitIsland as true
torpid sparrow
I need to update all my mods too
ornate drift
okay so hes at the beach
but its using his summer portrait and sprites
weird...
"freshment" is a made up word do not question it 
orchid glade
Spellcheck: hair not hear
orchid glade
Yeah I’m not sure about beach. I think there’s something funny about it. All I can suggest is trying loading it to Portraits/{{ModId}}_SpeedyManny_Beach or Portraits/{{ModId}}/Manny_Spring_Beach

verbal glacier
well it's an error related to UI Info Suite 2 alt, not your mod
rich seal
That's the confusing part. I didn't have this error at all when testing earlier, and I had UI Info Suite 2 alt since last week. It only started spitting this error a few minutes ago after I removed an item from my mod, which is why I'm confused. If it's nothing on my end, then that's good, but it's certainly enough to have spooked me into thinking I broke something lol
verbal glacier
might be a good idea to provide your log and see if dazuki (maker of UII2alt) knows what's up

why do i have to edit my mod version separately from uploading a new file

there's a checkbox that the file you updated is the current one, but you also have to indicate on the main page the version#'

wem do u know anything about beach attire
cuase I've been trying
fro the past 3 hours
to get it to work
and it just does NOT
devout otter
Like, artistically?
ornate drift
i called u tilly by accident 💔
ornate drift
Like, artistically?
no
i have all the sprites done
they just won't show up ingame no matter what i do
devout otter
Where do you want it to show up?
ornate drift
its supposed to be using this
.
devout otter
Hmm. Beach attire asset format can't be anything else but Portraits/<InternalName>_Beach.
ornate drift
Yeah, so Portraits/{{ModId}}_SpeedyManny_Beach
i tried putting it in a separate patch than the rest of the outfits
but it doesn't do anything
devout otter
Try lowering its Precedence.
ornate drift
what does that do?
devout otter
Make the outfit has precedence.
The lower the precedence value, the more it's prioritized over others.
ornate drift
Another thing is that he also doesn't go inside the changing booth at all
Idk if all NPCs do that or not
tiny zealot
they can (mine does)
ornate drift
do they just automatically do it or
tiny zealot
if you set it up right, yes. it's part of the schedule they get foisted on them when they are picked to visit the island
ornate drift
oh so it's part of a schedule
tiny zealot
yeah when NPCs are chosen for the island, the game cooks up a new schedule for them on the spot and overrides the one they were going to use
ornate drift
huh....does it happen everytime or
devout otter
Ah, is he now visiting the Island using your own schedule?
tiny zealot
.
you have used Portraits/{{ModId}}/Manny_Beach (ditto for Characters/) instead of Portraits/{{ModId}}_Manny_Beach
presuming manny's internal name is {{ModId}}_Manny
tiny zealot
ok then you must use Portraits/{{ModId}}_SpeedyManny_Beach to get automatic changing
strong kite
maan why doesn't Sebastian have a portrait that looks even remotely surprised 😭
tiny zealot
and now you will need to make sure your precedence is lower than his default/seasonal outfits
ornate drift
so -1?
tiny zealot
any number lower than what his summer outfit uses
ornate drift
all the outfits use 0
tiny zealot
then anything less than 0
ornate drift
ok lemme try that
wonder what i should plan next after outfits 
nope, still the same
its supposed to use these
tiny zealot
hmm. did you also fix your loads for those textures to use the correct asset names?

verbal glacier
Turning/giving something pages
clever monolith
So currently the special orders board only lets you see 2 special orders (checked and refreshed every 7 days).
My framework will add navigation buttons which would make it so there can be more than just 2 special orders posted in the board.

Guys is Marnie's shop being closed on Tuesdays hardcoded into the game?
I'm trying to make it so Shay can fill in for her on Mondays and Tuesdays but I keep getting the closed dialogue

can warp her to you on Tuesday
debug wctm Marnie

No I'm trying to make a custom NPC run the shop on Tuesdays
Usually the shop is closed

not sure if it requires sleeping a day to apply.. never edited it myself
sullen rain
I'm trying that now again to see if maybe that fixes it
Yeah no nothing
She's standing at the counter but the shop menu doesn't open
golden spire
patch export the file to see how it's looking?
sullen rain
It looks like it's applied?
devout otter
Okay, so, Marnie's shop tile doesn't directly open her shop when interacted.
gaunt orbit
working on a thing
devout otter
But rather give you that dialogue of whether you want to open the supply shop or the pet shop or buy a barn animal.
And that dialogue is indeed only working when Marnie is there.
What you can do is to edit the shop tile itself to directly open the animal shop on Monday and Tuesday.
sullen rain
Okay so I'd have to make a map patch?
devout otter
Yep.
Oh, you don't need to have an actual map. Just edit the tile property via Content Patcher.
sullen rain
Oh okay
So How would I do that? I know it would be {
"LogName": "Edit Marnie's Shop",
"Action": "EditMap",
"Target": "Maps/AnimalShop",
But what after that
Just OpenShop?
gray bear
are you adding a shop?
sullen rain
I'm trying to open the animal shop on Mondays and Tuesdays with a custom npc running the store
Dolphin said I'd have to add a map patch to directly open the shop cuz Marnie's option branches are hardcoded to her
The tile coordinates are 12 15
gray bear
i think you'd just need to maybe add a tile? unsure tho
devout otter
Something like this { "Action": "EditMap", "Target": "Maps/AnimalShop", "MapTiles": [ { "Position": {"X": 12,"Y": 15}, "Layer": "Buildings", "SetProperties": { "Action": "OpenShop AnimalShop Down" } }, { "Position": {"X": 13,"Y": 15}, "Layer": "Buildings", "SetProperties": { "Action": "OpenShop AnimalShop Down" } } ], "When": {"DayOfWeek": "Monday, Tuesday",} },
brittle pasture
this will obviously only open the supplies shop and not the other stuff (animal purchase and pet shop)
sullen rain
Hm. Didn't work anyway
Altho I suspect that has to do with my part of the code, not Dolphin's
The owners part
golden spire
have to make a few tweaks.. but I like it.
gaunt orbit
that's so cute!

brittle pasture
I recall chu was debating something like that for Livestock Bazaar
yeah it has a trigger action now, you can look into it
uncut aspen
is there a bigger list of trigger action's than the wiki trigger actions?
brittle pasture
only issue is that there's no check for free space in building
well mods can add whatever they want
I think there was an effort to document all mod-added GSQs/triggers/etc but I don't know where that went
stoic blade
That's the confusing part. I didn't have this error at all when testing earlier,...
So, this happens when a Data/Machines entry has a null MachineOutputRule in its OutputRules collection. I have made a guardfix for this on my end incase it happens again in the future.
gaunt orbit
hmmm interacting with non-grid furniture is weird, I think because interaction checks are tile-snapped and use Contains instead of Intersects which doesn't work properly with non-aligned bounding boxes
brittle pasture
yeah i recall precise furniture just lie shift the draw

I should be able to fix it with a transpiler. everything else is working
ornate drift
im just gonna ignore the beach outfit for now
since its not working
what should i plan on doing next?

As for animal repositioning the main catch is just you gotta make sure to do an update tick after you move the animal
torpid sparrow
ex. egg hunt set-up is when u arrive, egg hunt main event is during the actual hunt
dusky vigil
Functionally, I'm trying to trigger an npc giving you an animal during an event that you're intended to get only one of. (unless you sell it, which then you can get another/replace it.) So it's less that we're trying to code a new shop and more that we're trying to find a way to let players tell the game which barn this animal should go in
torpid sparrow
entries is just finding which entry to edit

festivals is still easier to do than doing events, fight me

With the repeatable events mod, is there a way to turn off the event repeating after seeing a certain event? For example, If i want the wizard to sell the player something in an event. But I want the player to be able to repeat the event if they didn't buy it the first time. But I want a second event to trigger after they bought the item stopping you from getting the first event anymore.
calm nebula
You can do repeatable events with trigger actions now

I needed to do typeof(NetFieldBase<Rectangle, NetRectangle>) instead of typeof(NetRectangle) even though NetRectangle is that
that's bitten me before and I always forget about it
gaunt orbit
it does, but I'm lazy, and since doing it the lazy way doesn't throw an exception I forget that it doesn't work for matches
like the thing is NetRectangle.Value doesn't return null, it just returns the "wrong" propertyinfo for some reason

you should think of how to deal with the catalogue as well
I think if the catalogue is read you can restore the original tile action but change marnie's away text to something lore appropriate
ornate drift
are y1 and y2 dialogue for festivals different?
brittle pasture
reading the book sets a stat, you can then set a mailflag based on that stat with a trigger action, and then (un)patch based on that flag
it won't be immediate since CP at best updates every time/location change but it's probably good enough
brittle pasture
are y1 and y2 dialogue for festivals different?
for vanilla NPCs since 1.6, yes

okay, how do i make it into year 2

modded NPCs made after 1.6 usually set those as well

Monthly mod stats time!
Mod compatibility
84.1% of SMAPI (C#) mods are compatible or have a workaround, up from 83.5% last month.
Unique mods by type
We have 439 more mods this month, which includes...
- +233 Content Patcher;
- +134 SMAPI (C#);
- +40 Alternative Textures;
- +19 Fashion Sense;
- +10 Farm Type Manager;
- +5 Mail Framework Mod;
- +2 Furniture Framework;
- +1 XNB;
- 0 Better Artisan Good Icons;
- 0 TMXL;
- -1 Dynamic Game Assets;
- -1 Producer Framework Mod;
- -3 Shop Tile Framework;
- -4 Json Assets;
- -15 Custom Furniture;
- and +19 for frameworks with <100 content packs.
Fashion Sense surpassed 1000 content packs this month. That reclassifies it as a 'core framework' on the wiki, alongside Content Patcher + Alternative Textures + Json Assets. Congrats to its author @polar escarp!
Content Patcher packs
We have 14,370 Content Patcher packs.
The top five Format versions remain...
- 2.0 (4094 ↗ 4131), 2.3 (907 ↗ 927), 2.4 (590 ↗ 591), and 2.8 (1068 ↗ 1130) for Stardew Valley 1.6;
- and 1.19 (572 ↘ 570) for Stardew Valley 1.4.
Open source
- We have 4,521 tracked C# mods, of which
- 2,530 mods (56%) have a source code repo, with
- 1,336 (53%) in a multi-mod repo and 1,194 (47%) in a single-mod repo.
AI continues its steady erosion of open source this month. Over the past twelve months, the percentage of C# mods which are open-source has continuously dropped from 65% in May 2025 to 56% in May 2026; it's the first sustained drop in Stardew Valley modding history, and the largest by far.
Web costs
And finally, web hosting costs for the SMAPI.io site, update-check server, and API rose a bit to US$222/month. (The graph is always a bit behind due to billing cycles.)

Lets say you have a config option with the following values: A, B, and C, and they have the i18n translations First, Second, and Third. How would you define a GMCM menu in C# that displays the translated values, but stores the actual values?
For example, selecting First from the dropdown would save A in the config file.
brittle pasture
that's AddTextOption, with allowedValues and formatAllowedValues set
the documentation on them is hopefully self explanatory
gaunt orbit
for select options I woul recommend using an enum
it just makes everything easier and less messy
barren tapir
Huh, that's what I'm doing, but it's saving the translated values instead of A, B, C.
I'll look into it more tomorrow (maybe try deleting the config file as well).
I'm using a custom enum-like class. It consist of constant string values and a utility function to translate them

I'm stuck - I'm trying to change some vanilla object sprites by editing the Texture and SpriteIndex in Data/Objects. My textures are loading into the game - I can patch export them, and they are showing in the machine output speech bubble thing. But when I try to view the items in the toolbar/inventory/chest, or hold it above my head, it's either invisible or a black box. What am I missing?
content.json (load textures + include includes.json): https://smapi.io/json/content-patcher/f8add026ef624fc7bc21e1d9bc55fbe1

Fraid that's not it. I started off with it not in quotes.

I changed it to be in quotes because I thought that might be why it wasn't working. (Because when I used the {{SpriteIndex}} token I had to put that in quotes).

proven spindle
Does it work when you un-localtoken it
orchid glade
Ooh I'll try that
(Although, patch export of Data/Objects looked fine)
I changed the editdata to just patch the Duck Mayo individually, and the result is the same. It shows edited sprite in the machine output bubble, but when I collect it's invisible.
"Action":"EditData",
"Target":"Data/Objects",
"Fields":{
"307":{
"Texture":"Mods/{{ModID}}/JojaAnimalProducts",
"SpriteIndex":"13"
}
}
},```It seems strange that those two functions would draw from a different texture source. Something very strange is happening.
I feel a bit like my game is imploding recently to be honest. Things that should work, not working.
proven spindle
Could try it in a fresh save (+verify game files if using steam)
You could also give TargetFields a try, I'd think it would work without since the field isn't a list but maybe it thinks you're replacing the entry rn
orchid glade
I verified game files.. about a week ago for another problem that remains unresolved. I'll try on a new save, I just used this one because I knew I had all the items.
It definitely doesn't think I'm, replacing the whole entry. This is what the patch export of Data/Objects looked like.
proven spindle
Any chance your sprite sheet is mis-sized? If it's off by a pixel cp might be frenzying
orchid glade
Ohhh this is a thing.... it worked on a new save. I think I know what's going on.
So all the items I looked at were old items generated the night before or earlier.
So the machine output preview took the new image, but the old items like actual items from the machine and stuff in the autograbber didn't.
I guess I should test if new items collected or from machines would work.
But, if this is how it behaves when I retexture with an editdata instead of an editimage, it's no good for anyone with an existing save. So, I guess I should just to an edit image.
gray bear
new items/save is always good idea. glad it works!
orchid glade
Now I just have to rewrite it so it will work on an existing save. So much for trying out a new method!
gray bear
i think a patch reload <ModID> would help
void aspen
patch reload is a life saver
orchid glade
That didn't seem to work on all the items in storage.
I've found that if my machines or animals produce a new item, it has the correct texture. But if I add that to a pile of invisible eggs/mayo it turns invisible. But it I add the invisible eggs to the good eggs, they turn visible.
gray bear
a way to make them work as you want is editing springobjects instead of loading a new tilesheet
orchid glade
Yeah I know, I just wanted to do it without all the ToArea jazz, and to try something new. I'm v. familiar with EditImage 🙂
gray bear
fair. i think the source texture for items you already have can't be changed though
orchid glade
Oh I wonder if my other edit data patches will work on the old items... changing color tags and descriptions.
gray bear
maybe there's a command for it? hmm
display stuff doesn't work the same as textures so should be fine iirc
orchid glade
Yeah the source texture must be sort of saved to the object when it's created.... but not saved enough that the old texture showed up.
gray bear
the game registers you changed it but can't use the new one bc the old one is like bound or something. very annoying
orchid glade
Now to replace 1 token with 4 tokens per item...
"ToY":"",
"FromX":"",
"FromY":"",```
[edit - this didn't work btw because it produces an invalid x that wasn't restricted to integers]

Like a data class, that would fit well, so if i add/define the class in the API interface, will pintail be able to map it correctly?

Interesting.

(I'm sure of the classes, the delegate is...hopefully)
No, if I go with the data class approach than I would keep the Func delegate, as it's much simpler to just pass a lambda function.

The delegate class goes on the IYourApi.cs so other mods copy it
I think pintail is fine with this?
strong kite
Implementing these debuffs def feels kinda weird cuz I feel like they'd be inflicted by enemies but I don't think I should necessarily be touching that
But that leaves the only place they're inflicted being from food. I guess i can use them to balance more powerful food buffs. Poisoned and especially Burned will be fun and easy to implement how they work in the games, same with Paralysis as I've already kinda got that. I've got an idea for Sleep, but Frozen is... I'm not entirely sure what to do with Frozen cuz it would basically be Sleep.
Is there a way to have a buff make the player unable to move? Cuz I know even a speed debuff of -250 still lets them move
severe cairn
Could be frozen in terms of moving is difficult if you can't figure it out
strong kite
Well that's for sure, my other thought was making it kind of like a mix of Poison and Sleep where it's both a damage over time AND slower movement. Pokemon Legends Arceus renamed it "Frostbite" and it was basically the special equivalent to Burn, but seeing as Stardew doesn't have a Special Attack stat..
Awww wait this woulda been such a good time to use Spacecore's StaminaRegen with a negative value, but that doesn't seem to work and my issue report has been up for like 3 weeks now

nova gale
is there a good way to force special orders onto the board for testing?
strong kite
Yeaa in Pokemon, Frozen can be pretty debilitating. It's a chance to just fail your attack each turn, so I had to get a little rough with it.
Frozen's probably one of the more likely buffs I can BS my way into getting from a food, though
Sleep is also pretty interesting. It's the only debuff with upsides
The other three comparatively are far simpler. Paralysis is -4 speed (which is genuinely awful ), Burned is -1 HP every 4 seconds as well as (meant to be) a 50% reduction to the damage you deal. And then Poisoned is -1 HP every 2 seconds, as well as -2 Immunity just cuz I thought it made sense

at System.Enum.TryParseByName(RuntimeType enumType, ReadOnlySpan`1 value, Boolean ignoreCase, Boolean throwOnFailure, UInt64& result)
This occurs when pressing "Save & Close". Witch's Hut is the i18n translation for ShopLocationOption.Witch
Wait, I may be an idiot
I forgot that you can just do enum X {A, B, C} in C#

so i've added warps to the cjb warp menu using CP (see this guide and it seems like the Order value just, does nothing? uhh

UGGGHHHH that feeling when you press the wrong save while trying to test/debug something

peeked at the code and I might be wrong but it seems like Order only applies for default warps
aka nothing you can do

could be a feature/clarification request for pathos
gray bear
pathos is okay with pings right?
@ivory plume hey! hope you're doing well!
i've recently been playing around with adding warps to CJB Cheats using CP, and i've noticed changing the "Order" code for newly added pings doesn't actually do anything, as they're always sorted at the bottom. I was wondering if there are maybe plans to add that? otherwise, the docs don't mention only default warps can be ordered.

I once had my hat turn into an error item because I was missing my own mod in the mods folder 🤣
Took me a little while to figure that out…
gaunt orbit
I forgot that you can just do ``enum X {A, B, C}`` in C#
What were you doing before?
That is the way you're supposed to use enums in C#, if you do some other thing it'll break the inbuilt stuff probably

how complicated a mod would it be to make it so that animals eat grass more spread out instead of demolishing the area immediately in front of the door? keep in mind that i’ve tried and failed to make a C# mod like four or five times now

Probably not too hard. The grass-finding logic is its own method, so if nothing else you could skip-prefix it and write your own implementation
urban patrol
skip prefix involves harmony right?
gaunt orbit
Yeah but it's very basic harmony
urban patrol
hmmm okay i shall tentatively consider trying it
barren tapir
What were you doing before?
Both options are valid ways of defining Enums in c#. I forget off the top of my head what the exact difference between the two are though
ivory plume
There's no difference; if you omit the numbers, they're just assigned automatically (starting from zero).
void aspen
what place theoretically could have the string map for those?
barren tapir
Ughh why'd I choose to convert my CP mod to C#?!?!
nova gale
good question
brittle pasture
good point; you should immediately drop everything and convert back
solemn marten
Heya all! I am normally just a channel stalker while I am figuring out how to mod up stuff on my own but recently kind of hit a roadblock looking for information.
I am trying to tinker around with clothing and it seems that unlike other items (hats and shirts) that the specification the sprite sheet layout of pants is not super intuitive to figure out just from looking at the farmer pants sprite sheet and there is no mention of layout on the wiki from what I saw as to how to go about making custom pants. Would anyone be able to give me a hand finding more information on that? Any direction would be super appreciated! 🙏
barren tapir
~~good point; you should immediately drop everything and convert back~~
At this point, I'm almost considering it
What I think I may do is create an addon for Dark Offerings written entirely in C# that adds the books instead of translating the current mod to C# and adding books (Though that does raise the question of how I'm gonna manage map changes caused by books, but that's an issue for future me)
uncut viper
you're using C# just to add books?
barren tapir
No. Well, kinda
uncut viper
(in C# though you can make the map change instantly though, that part is actually much easier in C# as long as you can watch for the change)
barren tapir
Would it be possible to define a C# mod that modifies a shop added by a Content Patcher mod?
uncut viper
Content Patcher is just a C# mod after all. Everything it does, it does in C#
the CP mods themselves just tell CP what to do in C#
so instead of 100 different C# mods editing Data/Shops, you have just Content Patcher asking 99 other mods "what should i do with Data/Shops y'all"
barren tapir
Yeah, I think I'm gonna make a separate mod to add books to the shop. It does annoy me that they will appear in separate power tabs. It's not ideal, but it'll be easier to make a solely C# mod from scratch than converting a fairly large (for me at least) CP mod to C#
uncut viper
im a little confused still why you need an entirely separate mod just to add books or add them to shops since that can be done very easily in both C# and CP, but regarding tabs, you can override which powers tab something goes in when using Special Power Utilities
barren tapir
im a little confused still why you need an entirely separate mod just to add boo...
Dope to learn about the power tab!
To cut a long story short, it makes managing configs a pain (I'd need one for the CP mod and one for its C# logic). And it's all bc of one stupid book I decided to add that changes how slingshots work 😅

I'm not sure if anyone has written up a formal tutorial on it, but fireredlily made a template here that shows the poses that use each pants sprite:
#making-mods-art message
More generally, each set of sprites for a single Pants item is 192x688 in its texture image (which is assumed to be 10 sets wide before going down a row). It's split into left and right halves by gender, except for the inventory icon at the bottom left corner.

How do you make interactable items? I'm trying to make an item that when clicked will prompt a multiple choice question. A different scene will play based on the player's choice. All the mcq info I've been able to find is on npc dialouge.
uncut viper
You can't without extra dependencies
Spacecore can make an item usable, but I think you'll probably need MMAP (I think) for the multiple choice question as a trigger action
(since spacecore just let's you use an item to run a trigger action)
ornate drift
Okay, i think i got everything

I think I may cap myself at either 400 objects in my mod or 400 object sprites, just to hopefully limit how much bigger this mod gets 
I'm currently up to 389 in the sprite index, or about 390 but 17.17948718% (I refuse to use the number) of them are just sprites for a config option that lets people go back to the original placeholder images for the seed sprites in my mod

what does continue do
strong kite
what does continue do
continue will continue the script while the character moves
I've personally found move in general to act kind of weirdly. If you only plan to have them make one straight movement then it works well, but otherwise advancedMove while a little more complicated to get right is WAY more powerful
ornate drift
so like move {{ModId}}_SpeedyManny 90 23 2 continue?
or is it move {{ModId}}_SpeedyManny 90 23 2/continue
verbal glacier
well it would be move {{ModId}}_SpeedyManny x y direction continue, but you don't move your actor to the coordinates in one go, you must specify multiple move commands. The advancedMove section talks more about how to move the actor along the axes.
strong kite
Oh yeah it isn't move to a tile, it's move in coordinate directions (so, math

does continue apply to all commands or just move specifically?
verbal glacier
to just move
ornate drift
i see
verbal glacier
To move along multiple axes, you must specify multiple move commands. By default the event pauses while a move command is occurring, but if [continue] (default false) is set to true the movement is asynchronous and will run simultaneously with other event commands.
