im a little confused ;-; my sprites have been working fine otherwise it's just the outdoots/indoors stuff

torpid sparrow
#

here's the example on the wiki page

torpid sparrow
#

in your appearance section (line 178 in your json) you'll want to add entries that look like this

cyan jungle
#

i see. and what if i only want just one condition in a specific season?

torpid sparrow
#

There is a Season condition

#

this is what my npc has as one of the entries in Appearance

cyan jungle
#

and that goes inside appearance[] ?

torpid sparrow
#

yes

cyan jungle
#

what does precedence mean?

torpid sparrow
#

let me take a look at susan to see if that will be a helpful reference

#

i expect it will be

torpid sparrow
#

for example, i have a Fall outfit but also a Spirit's Eve outfit

barren tapir
torpid sparrow
#

Those are both Fall, so Spirit's Eve needs a lower precedence for higher priority

cyan jungle
#

ohh i see. good to know cause i also wanna do a spirits eve one later

torpid sparrow
#

its in the content.json

cyan jungle
#

okie, thank you so much for all the resources!

torpid sparrow
#

Dolphin has left helpful comments to explain what is being done

barren tapir
#

Spirit's Eve? More like Sprite's Eve, am I right!

torpid sparrow
#

dont forget about the wiki page because it will have all the conditions you can use in Appearance

gray bear
#

too much sprite makes me a sad bea

#

(GSQs, which are linked)

#

The way I coded it for now, no.
BUT there is a fallback to mail so in this particular scenario (hardcoded giver is manually excluded by player + player has "Fallback to Mail" toggled), the quest will be posted via mail.
And there will be a warning on smapi log as well.
So technically people won't miss the quest. But there's still a good chance they might complain about too many mails tiredcat

Kind of a band-aid solution for now since I wanted to get the controller support update out asap. But will think of something better meanwhile.

#

oh oops sorry for the ping

brittle pasture
#

(no prob I don't mind)

barren tapir
brittle pasture
#

but yeah I noticed your mod uses custom content packs instead of piggybacking CP

cyan jungle
#

what is the point of {{ModId}}?

brittle pasture
#

it does make it difficult

#

-# also why we've been telling ppl to move away from custom packs

gray bear
#

{{ModId}} is a special token to make your edits clash less with any other mods

barren tapir
torpid sparrow
clever monolith
gray bear
#

it, just copies the UniqueId bit in the manifest

clever monolith
#

Like there's probably a whole bunch of stuff that spacecore already does that I re-implemented myself

cyan jungle
#

but why would you have to type it out for edits?

torpid sparrow
#

so for example, two people can make an npc named Selph if they add {{ModId}}.Selph because Mod Id 1 = Wem.UI and Mod Id 2 = Null.UI

tiny zealot
barren tapir
gray bear
#

there exists a possibility someone out there made a mod that does the same thing yours does

torpid sparrow
#

if we both just wrote Selph as an npc name it would get fucked

gray bear
#

so if you're using {{ModId}} smapi will not break

torpid sparrow
#

which Selph...two Selph...

gray bear
#

two of them

tiny zealot
#

red selph blue selph

brittle pasture
cyan jungle
#

but is it necessary if you plan on having this mod just for yourself?

clever monolith
#

Maybe I should redesign the whole thing so it uses CP instead
Before other mod authors start using my framework already

gray bear
#

i mean not really? depends ig, it's good practice anyway

brittle pasture

(since you already have the data model most of the work is done)

#

omg are the volcano maps even editable?? I've been looking for the bottom floor of the volcano but now I can see it's one of the layouts in VolcanoLayouts

clever monolith
#

I made the bad decision of simplifying most of my inline comments at some point and now I'm regretting it because I'm staring at the code and just chickenScratch

brittle pasture
strong kite
#

Where you can pay walnuts for a bridge

brittle pasture
#

that's a regular static map innit

strong kite
#

I can't for the life of me find a tmx for it

torpid sparrow
#

let me search

strong kite
#

It's VolcanoDungeon0 according to location in debug mode

signal nova
#

What is the location ID for the Ginger Island's fossil area river (to make fish spawn in there)?

strong kite
#

And here it is in the layouts

image.png
torpid sparrow
#

maybe it doesnt exist hmm

brittle pasture
#

ah I mistook what map you were talking about

torpid sparrow
#

like just the one where u enter right

#

upon entering the volcano

strong kite
#

This one

image.png
brittle pasture
#

but yeah I think you can edit it with an image patch

#

but the parrot location might be hardcoded

tiny zealot
clever monolith
#

the ginger island extra locations mod does it I think

strong kite
#

Maybe I just wont worry about it then... less work for me heehee

#

or I could add a warp here...

#

DAMNIT

torpid sparrow
#

*it doesnt have an entrance warp

#

it's just the exit arrival tile

#

but lore wise, im not sure where ur planning to warp to

strong kite
#

It would be like.. a chamber under the volcano

torpid sparrow
#

hrmmm

#

it could make sense

#

you jump out from one place

#

then u jump further down into another place

strong kite
#

yeah I'ma see exactly where it spits you out

#

um.... I.. think I want this area to.. clear weekly..? Then again this is like a years worth of forage

image.png
#

I'm not gonna worry about that LUL

#

I can work with this. If anything, it might make it more likely for people to find the secret entrance because otherwise it's.. well.. secret

Sorry for the late response. My worry with that is how it'll interact with other mods. Since I'm using a trigger from spacecore, other mods might be registering that trigger too and so it might cause mod conflicts. I tried registering two actions to the same trigger from my mod and it caused one of them to not be assigned, so I'm assuming if two different mods both register to the same trigger it'll cause the same problem.

#

I can't say that it'll cause issues across mods with 100% certainty but since the register trigger action writes to a dict surely it'll cause problems??

brittle pasture
#

I think you're misunderstanding what "registering a trigger action action" does

#

you'd register a custom action that does stuff, like vanilla's AddItem or etc., and then if you want that action to run in response to SpaceCore's on item eaten trigger you'd add a new entry to Data/TriggerActions

#

your action's ID would have your ModId so it won't collide

Making mods can be broadly divided into two categories:

Usually it’s easier to start with making content packs, since you don't need to learn programming.

#

is there an easy way to include seasonal tiles cuz I want to make some cliffs with the darker grass textures around the edges but I'm realizing that wont look right outside of spring- waiiit I could totally make this something that only appears in whichever color season i choose heehee

uncut viper
#

If you load one tilesheet for each season with the name like <season>_<tilesheetname> and use the spring one when making your map, the tilesheet will be swapped out automatically, assuming it is an outdoor location

strong kite
#

Oh cool! Good to know!

uncut viper
#

e.g. spring_townInterior.png will automatically be swapped with summer_townInterior.png because there's one for each season in the unpack

#

that said if you do name it starting with the season name like that, you must have all four seasonal variants

strong kite
#

Alrighty! I should probably figure out the conditions for when this appears first tbh-

uncut viper
#

If it's just a tilesheet there's no reason to not have it unconditionally loaded at all times

strong kite
#

Oh- No no I mean this map patch that this is for

#

This is gonna pop out of the ground under certain conditions

image.png
#

Also yes the tree spawning there is absolutely on purpose. I'm hoping it looks like it literally raised from the ground, carrying everything with it

#

Even if it's literally just a 2x2 tile, map patching town sounds like an awful idea...

tiny zealot
#

avoid if possible, yes

#

sometimes you gotta, but it's better not to

strong kite
#

I'm just trying to think where else it might make sense for essentially the sewer entrance to suddenly appear

latent mauve
#

For those curious about my misadventures with trying to remove a special order from a mod that has been removed after getting the special order (being removed via a trigger action), it worked flawlessly ❤️

#

Hopefully my multiplayer group has learned their lesson about adding random NPC mods and creating a mismatch without telling us going forward, but at least it's fixed now

strong kite
#

ohhh actually I think I wont do town for this... because I have another idea for something to put in town heehee

#

People probably don't touch this waterfall...right? It being 4 tiles wide might actually be annoying hm...

image.png
latent mauve
#

That's a secret note digspot for the tiledata object, so just be careful not to break that

uncut viper
#

"people dont touch this right?" The answer is always "yes they do"

latent mauve
#

Also the left side is a community shortcut area I think

strong kite
#

Avoids the dig spot and the shortcut

uncut viper
#

I have seen that area changed

strong kite
#

Maaaaan but my idea could be so cool Azusob

uncut viper
#

If you have to ask if an area is free for a map patch, then you've already lost. You can however just accept incompatibility

#

The only way to avoid a map patch conflict entirely is to make your own map.

latent mauve
#

Easiest way to add a new area remains to be making it's own map and linking it via Central Station networks

strong kite
#

Well actually what I can always do is find alternate solutions for incompatibilities as they show up

#

So far I'm only accounting for Stardew Valley Expanded (which this doesn't look like it'll conflict with) but if I get more comments about incompatibilities I can find alternate solutions there

ornate locust
strong kite
#

??

ornate locust
#

Like a cliff moved up a tile and you don't notice at a glance

#

(specific thing I have run into with SVE)

strong kite
#

hm...

ornate locust
#

It's hard to notice things like "entire cliff moved just a teeny bit" at a look is all I'm saying, make sure the edges match

#

And I know it changes some of the pieces on the sides of that stream, so make sure those edges match

strong kite
#

Im definitely going about this whole process in the wrong way but If I did it the smart way I don't think i'd be having fun with it LUL
I say this because it will be a while before I actually see if my implementation works properly

ornate locust
#

Noticed that when I was putting a bridge over

#

You can always do a SVE version patch, just check that things match ingame!

#

And it's easy enough to check anyway

strong kite
#

Alright there are 3 different tiles between the two versions in the area I'm looking at... technically at least

#

oh and a random cliff tile under the waterfall what-

ornate locust
#

Yeah see that's where it gets ya LOL

strong kite
#

Anyway I think I'll make the assets now and figure it out from there

strong kite
ornate locust
#

If it doesn't NEED those tiles, you can overwrite them, of course. The big thing is making the edges match

clever monolith
strong kite
#

These are the 4 tiles that change. However, I don't need to replace the WHOLE area, like the top right corner especially and even the bottom left I think I can get away with

image.png image.png
#

I think the one at the top more in the middle-left is gonna be the only problematic one

#

and even then I'm not sure yet

scenic ferry
#

Oh are we talking map compat

strong kite
#

Town map compat heehee

scenic ferry
#

I feel you. I wrestled forest map compat for ages

#

Sve changes so much of the forest map SDVpufferwaaah

strong kite
#

Thankfully my change to Cindersap I was able to find a workaround for for SVE

#

So I challenged my hubris and added another map patch there heehee

scenic ferry
#

I ended up going with making my own separate map and having an Itty bitty warp zone to it

But even that Itty bitty teleporter had compat issues so I had to move it like 5 times

#

I would highly recommend making an item that on use Warps you (like Totem or the home staff or something) even just as a backup for compat purposes

strong kite
#

I can't find the waterfalls Tiredkip

#

oh my god they're just- in maps FacePalm

urban patrol
#

make sure you grab an animated version they’re a bitch to do manually

strong kite
#

Oh no I don't need it animated heehee

#

Quite the opposite in fact

urban patrol
#

the waterfall?

strong kite
#

Yes

latent mauve
#

Reminder that the waterfalls are reused in a few places that might go weird if you change the PNG and aren't expecting it. 🙂

strong kite
#

I'm not changing the PNG-
Am I supposed to be using EditImages for things?? Cuz like I haven't yet I've just been taking the assets and editing them in my own file

latent mauve
#

okay, just wanted to note it just in case!

strong kite
#

Ah, alrighty

latent mauve
#

I mean, your custom assets won't have recolor support unless you add it yourself, so that's something that may come up?

#

But any assets you edited on the base sheet won't be supported either for the same reason

strong kite
#

I don't think it'll need to be recolored

scenic ferry
#

imo using the base game assets directly is almost always better
Theres soooo many recolor mods that people use all the time

strong kite
#

I can't wait to finish making the asset so I can actually show what my plan is 😭

latent mauve
#

I know there's a few that do touch the waterfalls, so if you make your own waterfall to use, then just be aware that you might get posts or bug reports saying "this water doesn't match!"

#

I tried for SVE compat with my NPC Apartments mod and apparently STILL missed something, since someone reported that the mountain pathways on the Joja Route in SVE interfere with my entrance

strong kite
#

I'm gonna have to make this off-center 😭

wanton pine
ornate locust
#

yeah the Joja route paves a lot of stuff

strong kite
#

Not finished yet, but does this look frozen?

autumn tide
#

hmmmm not quite

strong kite
#

Well then it's a start! I'll finish the full thing and then edit from there

wanton pine
#

Find a ref - they basically become giant icicle overhangs with crater-shaped snowpiles surrounding the space where the water would otherwise land.

strong kite
#

Ah, something like that wont work for what I'm doing then

wanton pine
#

They wind up as giant collections of icicles because they are effectively large-scale ice dams (aka roof dams).

#

think so SDVpufferthumbsup

cyan jungle
#

hey guys, how can i edit appearance[] and schedule so my npc goes to ginger island, goes inside resort, changes and comes out like vanilla npc

wanton pine
brittle pasture
#

the resort "schedule" is automatic if your NPC doesn't have going to the resort disabled

cyan jungle
#

yeah but it doesnt go in and change outfits even tho i have him set to change outfits at the resort

brittle pasture
#

as for appearance I believe having an entry with IsIslandAttire true should do it

brittle pasture
cyan jungle
#

explicit

brittle pasture
#

then it doesn't work 😢

cyan jungle
#

nooo there must be a wayy

brittle pasture
#

there probably is but it's probably going to be super hacky + possible compat problems

#

because without the Resort Magic you have to warp them away at least once

cyan jungle
#

i dont mind a challenge, i just want to make it happen

brittle pasture
#

a way to do it vanilla is adding a warp to an NPC-only closet somewhere on the island, have them stay there until a certain wall clock time, and then have them exit

#

your island outfit would then be conditioned on that time

#

and then when it's time to leave do that again

#

or maybe you can use Button's BETAS mod and its "force reload NPC appearance" trigger, then you don't need the closet location; it'd still only reload on time change though

cyan jungle
#

ouuu do you have a link to that mod?

calm nebula
#

Hang on

#

The resort schedules actually just use a specific named animation for it

#

Is smth like "change_beach" or smth like that

#

You can just use it

cyan jungle
#

where can i find it and how could i use that?

calm nebula
#

I'm not at home so I cant grab it but if you look in the decompile

brittle pasture
#

hmm yeah I see change_beach and change_normal

cyan jungle
#

where did you find that?

brittle pasture
#

decompile as stated

cyan jungle
#

what is that?

brittle pasture
#

this is hardcoded so it's not going to show up in the game data

#

the C# code

calm nebula
#

You have to use it in the Island context iirc. Game usually paths people into the changing room

brittle pasture
#

!decompile if you're interested

ocean sailBOT

IslandSouth is where the schedule gets created

(thanks atra! SDVpufferheart )

void aspen
#

😭

cyan jungle
#

ahhhh im so confused

brittle pasture
#

are you familiar with schedule animations

cyan jungle
#

no ;-;

royal stump
#

just to be clear, is the goal to have a custom schedule at the resort, or did you just want your NPC to do normal resort visits like other NPCs?

cyan jungle
brittle pasture
#

huh I was under the impression you wanted the former

royal stump
#

alright, then workarounds probably aren't necessary; you can enable those with Data/Characters settings and an island outfit entry

#

there are some optional things like lying on the beach that need an animation entry iirc, but the basic visit just happens if it's enabled

cyan jungle
#

i have an island outfit entry but it didnt trigger and if it did trigger id want it to trigger inside the changing room

royal stump
#

they should automatically go in there if the entry is recognized, as far as I know, so uploading the appearances file might help to double-check it
https://smapi.io/json

cyan jungle
#

like okay, the npc went to the beach did the stuff i scheduled, and went home. but it didnt trigger the outfit change i had programmed and i would love to know more about animations

brittle pasture
#

to clarify, if you just want randomly triggered resort visits (no schedule entries at all) then it should just work
if you want an explicit resort schedule that always happen (with control over their behavior) then it doesn't

#

(I think) you are doing the latter; would you be happy with just the former?

royal stump
#

right, the game randomly assigns people to visit automatically, ignoring their actual schedule file for the day

wanton pine
#

How much should a motorcycle helmet cost when the bike itself is only 10,000 g?

cyan jungle
#

i wanted to set a specific day just to test out that the outfit change occurs

#

otherwise idc if its random

ornate locust
#

I don't think setting a specific day and random work the same way though

#

so you wouldn't really be testing it

cyan jungle
#

so how do ik if it happens ;-;

ornate locust
#

NO IDEA, I never tested mine because he never showed up at the damn island hwen I noticed

royal stump
cyan jungle
ornate locust
#

maybe some day, someone will tell me his outfit doesn't work

cyan jungle
#

ive been waiting 5 years for gus to visit the damn resort ^^

ornate locust
#

It looks like how other people do island visit stuff, so I'm just gonna hope it works until told otherwise

cyan jungle
#

how doooo they do it? does anyone have like a framework or a mod that successfully does it?

ornate locust
#

No, I just have it set up how the automatic visit stuff works. And I followed the formatting of mods I know that it does function in

brittle pasture
#

AFAIK there are no current working mods to force island visits for a certain NPC?

ornate locust
#

and since I followed that formatting, it PROBABLY works fine? I just can't test it without the RNG cooperating, and it did NOT

brittle pasture
#

so yeah it's all hopes and dreams

cyan jungle
#

i might just lowkey... make him change at home 🥲

royal stump
#

I think someone worked on a mod that could force that, but idk if it's complete or active
Custom NPC Exclusions can force NPCs not to do resort visits, but that means writing down most/all vanilla NPCs name so it only has yours, and it still requires waiting

#

ig you could edit vanilla data that way too, now that 1.6 ate most of it

brittle pasture
#

as atra mentioned, if you have to use a manual schedule look into schedule animations and change_beach/change_normal, I think that should work like how the game does it

#

it's somewhere on the Schedule wiki page (I admittedly don't have further experience)

cyan jungle
#

do you have to draw the animation frames?

ocean sailBOT
#

@cyan jungle You leveled up to Cowpoke. You can now share images in all channels!

cyan jungle
#

i have some frames drawn that i would wish to turn into animations for other stuff, so itd be nice if any of you could guide me

#

for example, i have fishing and studying frames id wish to animate

royal stump
wanton pine
#

is this too long for a manifest description?

Okay so beside the obvious issue, I think this looks pretty good!

#

A while ago I was trying to track down the cause of a bug a couple players had reported when Pierre gets arrested, where it never gets past the first quickquestion. I think it may be due to the translation (I think they're using the one below):

image.png
#

I'm not sure what the purpose of the "/a" is in spanish but I think it may be breaking up the quickquestion unintentionally

wanton pine
golden spire
#

I assume it's to do with masucline/feminine

#

and they just put a slash "/a" rather than doing a gender thing

faint ingot
#

for reference here is the quickquestion code with line breaks for readability: quickQuestion {{i18n:Events.239790020.qqq|PlayerName={{PlayerName}}|FarmName={{FarmName}}}}# {{i18n:Events.239790020.qq1}}# {{i18n:Events.239790020.qq2|FarmName={{FarmName}}}} (break)speak Pierre \"{{i18n:Events.239790020.qq1r}}\" (break)speak Pierre \"{{i18n:Events.239790020.qq2r}}\"

golden spire
#

looking it up:

suegro is "father in law"
suegra is "mother in law"

(misread)

faint ingot
#

well the translated line here is "I'm not sure..." so I don't think that's a masculine/feminine thing in this case

#

also I think having a slash in there will cause the event to think it is a break between event commands, yes?

#

I checked and they have the "/a" like five or six times in their translation (but I'm not sure how many of those are for events)

uncut viper
#

It will, yeah

#

It will think it's a break that is

faint ingot
#

OK I will ask the translator if they can do something else there thank you

Hold on lemme get a newer picture

mmm, sometimes it's hard to do something unnatural like that visually in a stylistic medium like pixel art because people know what it looks like IRL and you have to balance out what people expect vs how it looks.

And time to check if this also works in SVE

I included a map patch for one single tile when you have SVE installed

I forgot to make the to area actually correct 😭

It does work though!

urban patrol

make sure to check community shortcuts still works

strong kite
#

Uhh I mean..? I didn't edit that area

#

That would just be the fence, right?

urban patrol
#

i thought it was to the right but idk i’ve never played far enough to get it

#

i just know it’s in that area ish

barren tapir
#

I know that at least one mod adds something to the right once you get shortcuts

#

Now, as for which mod, IDK (downside of having over 400 mods 😅)

rare orbit
#

how hard is it to make bundles with modded items?

urban patrol
#

are you adding new bundles or editing existing ones

rare orbit
#

editing existing

#

i got 1K mods and more which adds items

#

i don't use sve tho since the mods that are a huge must aren't compatible

urban patrol
#

it should just be a matter of editing Data/Bundles then

#

the game doesn’t know the difference between vanilla and modded items

ocean pagoda
#

is there a competition or just from curiosity?

urban patrol
#

a competition for what?

ocean pagoda
#

how many mods will break smapi/sdv 😄

rare orbit
#

as someone with 1k? it takes alot

#

but it depends on your current setup

iron ridge
#

depends on the mods and wat you define "break" as, you can run tens of thousands, and it has been done

ocean pagoda
#

sdv could be run on fridge, so ... probably you can temper with smapi to stop checking for updates - this will lower the time for loaging

rare orbit
iron ridge
#

sinz was for testing things at some point

rare orbit
#

ohhhhhhhhh

#

ok that's fair

#

cause imma be honest i have no idea what im doin

#

i still need to finish my katsuki bakugou mod tho

#

portrait mod

brittle pasture
#

that mod is a framework on its own

#

so your mod would be dependent on it, using its content pack format

rare orbit
#

ohhhhhh

#

so does it include a template or should i check the files of a modded pack as an example?

brittle pasture
#

you don't need it for custom bundles, though it does provide some other niceties

#

you'll have to pick between CP, or using it

rare orbit
#

which is more simple/straighforward for novices??

urban patrol
#

CP for sure

#

we have more tutorials and examples

rare orbit
#

cool cool! where's the tutorial for bundles for CP

urban patrol
#

idk if there’s one specifically for bundles but you can use the wiki and the unpacked data to find out what you need to do

The vast majority of loading time is loading assets

#

Quick question

#

for dis (i took screenshot in case link doesnt load)

#

no matter what i do, the character will run right before the cutscene starts

#

the cutscene works, just you see the character endlessly running without input, like it froze the key when the player was walking to the specific tile

#

and this is my maps.json

#

which looks like this if the link doesnt load

#

lemme get a quick 5-7 second clip of it rq

#

see how the character was endlessly running at the grave? SDVpuffersweats

#

How could I go about making a map patch that changes after the player has collected the Golden Scythe from the Quarry Mine?

ornate locust
#

the thing is... event movement is cursed

urban patrol
ornate locust
#

but I'll have a look, no promises LOL

whole prism
#

it was doing that part for me

ornate locust
#

Ah that run is outside of the event.

urban patrol
ornate locust
#

Yeah even if you stop holding it, the game has kinda stopped taking input at the point a fade hits

whole prism
#

so they dont endlessly run until i move em

urban patrol
strong kite
urban patrol
ornate locust
#

You can try stopRunning

#

Just right at the event start

#

I have never used it, but that's the command to make the farmer stop moving

whole prism
#

sorry if i sound dumb, where should i put that so it has high priority?

#

ive tried similar but i think i did it too late into it

ornate locust
#

Oh wait, yeah, I see it. I think the earliest you can put it is right after the farmer position there. Try before the skippable? Really, it may only stops movement that happens in the scene, it's just the only thing I know to try

#

If that doesn't work, then yeah, I doubt anyone will notice it

you cant please everoyne anyways

even tho i try to

whole prism
#

hmm, should i ask for something like this inside the 1.6.16 alpha? or do you think its too hard/complicated

urban patrol
#

i would wait for C#ers’ input before going into the alpha thread personally

#

they may know for example if that’s a thing for a reason

calm nebula
#

What's causing the event to run

whole prism
#

however when running to the tile the game will preserve your key and not stop running until your placed or anything

whole prism
ornate locust
#

I want to say I've seen this problem with stepping on tiles causing events before

whole prism
#

hmm, that was the only way i knew how to pull this kind of thing off

#

unless there's a cleaner alternative approach

#

WOOO

#

okay!

#

I didn't fix the movement, but instead, I decided to make it where when you touch the grave via clicking it, it starts

#

so i'll update the quests description to say to investigate the gravestone

#

easy alternative

ornate locust
#

That works

can people with a controller still click it?

(C# only)

you use it with content patcher

wait no I didnt read the documentation

The Custom Forge stuff in SpaceCore is C# only.

ok that feature specifically is not content facing yeah

pain

uncut viper

Other things in SpaceCore are Content Patcher accessible but that is not one of them

i remember having forge as just json stuff though it never worked lol

i was waiting for it to be fixed last time i was here, and i believe it has since, but i supopose ill be sticking with ja?

any problems with ja?

uncut viper

Many yes

It'll work but its very out of date, unsupported, and not going to get you much help here

I was gonna make a funny remark about SpaceCore but Casey doesn't deserve that even if it's just supposed to be humorous SDVpufferpensive
SpaceCore really is a marvel tbh

uncut viper

(Unsupported in the sense that if it ever does break, support is not guaranteed)

forest cypress
#

That hurts

uncut viper

Also, many people going to install your mod are going to wonder why you are using JA and a non-insignificant amount of them are going to not install it simply because of that.

it does seem unfortunate that the forge feature is stuck in JA (for content mods)

I'm not sure under what circumstances Tiled will save it like that instead of giving it an empty <properties>

(Well not a full map)

(I think?)

uncut viper

You could add the items via Content Patcher, but all of the forge-related things would be done in your C# portion. You wouldn't be making them accessible to your CP portion

So I put in a new one and I'm guessing this is right? (I should also get rid of the data of the old one?)

I'm pleasantly surprised my mod seems to just work now in the newest update thanks to the advanced melee framework update someone made for 1.6, even if JA isnt the best at least theres that

brittle pasture
#

I think if SDV updates are not a worry it's fine to keep your mod on JA for the moment
(it obviously will be, eventually, since I don't know if Casey will fix it if it does break again)

# gentle sorrel now it says that it needs mono

    <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>

  </ItemGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Pathoschild.Stardew.ModBuildConfig" Version="4.3.0" />

  • Delete every file in EventHandlers/ that has BACKUP, BASE, LOCAL or REMOTE in the name (the author seems to have left conflict markers in there)
  • Delete Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs

How do I make it work for that bat? Cause w.vlocity is not working.

you need to give w to GetField

right now it's trying to find the static field of the Bat type (which doesn't exist)

then you'd call vlocity.SetValue

Like how do I get back to this?

is there a wiki page for animations?

Hey everyone, so I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or things they want to see in the next update of BroadcastAPI.

It's a framework for making custom channels.

barren tapir
#

Interesting...

sleek flint
strong kite
#

hmm... maybe after this update I'm doing for my Berry Bushes mod that's gonna add several more secret locations to find, maybe I'll make an expansion mod with even more locations and bundles but specifically compatible with Cornucopia, requiring Cornucopia crops and foods and whatnot for them as well as stuff from my mod

barren tapir
#

I can probably maybe take a look later today (I'm currently in between meetings due to a proverbial nuke at work that went off late last week)

#

Yall ever feel like an update got out of hand at some point? My book expansion mod to Dark Offerings has evolved to the point wherein I plan on adding new monsters to the game, 2 new trinkets, potentially new maps, and secret codes 😅

sleek flint
#

That can honestly fit in a mod on its own.

barren tapir
#

EXACTLY

sleek flint
#

Can you give me a link to the mod I wanna check it out.

barren tapir
#

The worst part is that I've already sanctioned off two things as their own separate mods to work on later 😅

sleek flint
#

I haven't been checking the mods that are getting released on nexus lately cuz I am busy 😞

This actually looks nice. I am afraid it might be a little unbalanced, but I will install it in my folder and see when (more like if) I play.

strong kite
#

I should really try making an expansion mod (of my main mod), because I need to make sure I remember how to actually make a mod, cuz I've just been expanding on the work I did 2 years ago, haven't gone through the initial process of getting a new mod up and running since

@ivory plume I will soon be uploading a mod (Ducati Motorbike Custom Mount Kit, some assembly required) that includes a recolored and slightly edited version of the exterior of the garage from your Tractor Mod; is there a specific formula you want me to use when crediting you for it?

#

Also, fellow modders, is this simple description "kosher" when it comes to giving credit where it is due?
Adds a Ducati Motorbike mount with engine sounds and reskins the horse flute to match; intended to supplant the vanilla horse. Requires some easy assembly (moving files between folders) out of respect for clefairykid and MissCoriel.

I personally would have it be 5 grand (which is still a lot, but a potted plant costs like 250 gold, so screw it, we ball)

Even with the buff though, I think 20,000 is too much.

two mods (CK's Ducati and Tractor Engine Sound) that get stripped of their assets to respect clefairykid and MissCoriel's permissions (I have written detailed instructions on this), CP, SMAPI and Custom Mounts.

It could be in CP, if not, it's very likely in spacecore, if it's already one of your deps. You can check if you want or simply leave it as cosmetic if you can't be bothered.

how does the game handle wily fishing? i know the sprite takes up 2 sprite slots (top and bottom) so how does it do it?

hard coded

the modded NPC Miriam also does this so you can look at her code for example of how to do it if youre not in C# land

Basically use the same animation key and frames lol

Can non-social NPCs actually use Location dialogues? The wiki says "An NPC must have gift tastes specified for location dialogue to work, even if their CanSocialize field is set to false.", which implies that they can as long as they have gift taste. But the only way I could seem to get it working is by also setting CanSocialize to true.

I don't have a specific formula, but a quick credit like this is usually good enough in the modding community, even if it technically doesn't follow the letter of the license:

If you want to be fully license-compliant, you'd need to include the full license in your mod. For example, by adding a THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt file containing text like this (one per licensed source):

If it's for a schedule animation, I believe Spacecore can help you out

anyway you just use his animation, it's called "dick_fish"
Just keep the frames the same

Spacecore can do larger animations

both spacecore and c# are foreign lands tbh but spacecore definitely sounds better than c#

         ExperienceGained = 20;

         Sprite.SpriteHeight = 32;
         Sprite.SpriteWidth = 24;
         forceOneTileWide.Value = false;
         Sprite.UpdateSourceRect();

like wouldnt that just use willy?

severe cairn
round timber
#

the animation name only controls the slots of the spritesheet and the durations of the frames

cyan jungle

you just write the name of Willy's animation AND make sure it's in the same sprite index as Willy's fishing one, thats it

Cause it seems tricky as it's all 1 single file

cyan jungle
#

unless im looking at it wrong

severe cairn
#

32 pixels tall and 16 pixels wide

#

each one of those

#

and it starts counting at 0

#

every row has 4 sprites

cyan jungle
#

I understand but look it's kinda confusing let me show you

ornate trellis
#

no, willy is a longer sprite i think thats where the confusion is coming from

#

the fishing animation is 64px tall

cyan jungle
#

and then when you look up the sprites those index belong to they dont make sense

Screenshot_2026-05-20_at_5.23.27_PM.png
ornate trellis
#

since willys anim is 64px tall the index changes

severe cairn
#

the game stretches the sprite bounds downwards by 32 when it detects the "dick_fish" animation

uncut viper
#

Willy's animation has hardcoded exceptions in the game's code so don't pay too much attention to whether or not the numbers make sense for NPCs in general

severe cairn
#

it doesn't do that otherwise yeah

uncut viper
#

It knows how to use those numbers for that animation specifically

golden spire
uncut viper
#

Even if they wouldn't work for a custom NPC without co-opting that animation name

severe cairn
#

if you used say, 12, you'd get the fishing rod on it's own

ornate trellis
#

yeah was about to say thats why we tend to use spacecore for bigger anims :3

#

reminds me of the time in 1.5 when atra let me have the fishing code from GIMA for constance

cyan jungle
#

so should i just use the same numbers as the dick_fish animation but with the spacecore format?

severe cairn
#

someone else would have to explain the spacecore part but im guessing no on the first

ornate trellis
#

if you use the linked code you'd need to make spacecore a dependency

iron ridge
#

and i already had it SDVpuffersquee

cyan jungle
#

if i dont use spacecore how would i go about it?

ornate trellis
#

p sure you'd just have the possibility of a 32px tall sprite

cyan jungle
#

this is my sprite sheet rn, if anyone could help me figure this out ;-;

Spring_Euegene.PNG
ornate trellis
#

honestly i dont remember if anything ever changed for vanilla fishing sprites

golden spire
#

if you're using dick_fish and just going vanilla, your fishing sprites have to be in the same spot willy's are.

#

as it's all hardcoded and the game is looking for the specific part of the spritesheet

cyan jungle
#

but then- doesnt the game recognize frames 0-15 as just walking sprites?

golden spire
#

it's hardcoded it's just being "special"

cyan jungle
#

@severe cairn can i please see your code for your fishing animation for your npc?

golden spire
#

"dick_fish": "0/8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 8 8 10 10 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 10/8",

#

that's it for her

#

you just have to ignore it says frame 8/9/10/11

#

forget that it's not actually frame 8/9/10/11

cyan jungle
#

and in her sprite sheet all those numbers correspond to those numbers? like in her 8 9 etc. it's all fishing sprites?

golden spire
#

no

cyan jungle
#

so do i have to change my sprite sheet? ;-;

golden spire
#

yes, unless you go the spacecore route

cyan jungle
#

so this animation is with spacecore?

golden spire
#

spacecore you can set the frame size/position and the just use the frame numbers as normal

^ Base monster class
AnimatedSprite(string textureName, int currentFrame, int spriteWidth, int spriteHeight) if you wanted to override it for your robot class these are the stuff the animated sprite method uses

An NPC has to have a Friendship object to get location dialogue and as far as I know that can only happen if the NPC can socialize, but that's from a very rough scan of things

Or I guess if their SocialTab behaviour is set to "AlwaysShown"
