If it's done with content json (like the false ones in the link after Elizabeth used the command) SMAPI will just sort it out for your without renaming folders etc.

Same for the method suggested by Shockah.

[potent atlas]

thats bananas

[summer swan]

As I said: Not that hard for such case. If both would have come with full tileset? No idea. That would probably require more sorting out. 🤷‍♀️

[long brook]

Sorry for ping but how to do this?

[summer swan]

In the SMAPI config file at the end. It's in the smapi-internal folder.

Hi people, I have several questions for you:
Is there a mod to change your dog's name ?
And do you know a mod to **change the design of his farm **?
Example of switching from the forest farm to the standard farm ?

[lament prairie]

Farm type: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Console_commands#set_farm_type

Reset Terrain Features (https://smapi.io/mods/#Reset_Terrain_Features) is a mod that lets you reset, clear, or generate everything that spawns on a map using an in-game menu. That's especially useful when changing maps mid-save, as the debris will otherwise use the old layout (causing things like trees in the water or bushes blocking exits).

[lament prairie]

I don't know of something to change the pet name

Haven't updated game in month or so, due to lack of interest. Updated a bunch of mods and removed some (that I believe I haven't even interacted with at all).
Nevertheless, spammed with biomes warnings? and others.

does ui info suite not work with the newest version of stardew valley?

[neat plaza]

!uiinfosuite

[native dragon]

If you go to https://github.com/Annosz/UIInfoSuite2/releases, you can find UI Info Suite 2, which works with Stardew 1.5.5+. Download the first zip, not the source code.

[stoic charm]

Hi so I just got Stardew on my desktop and I figured why not download some mods but the problem is that the interior I downloaded (Industrial Furniture, Interior and Kitchen, Seasonal Garden House ver 2) is overlayed by base game stuff and idk how to fix it :(((

[winter isle]

oooh i didnt know there was a second one thanks

[neat plaza]

did you create a save with them or did you add it afterwards

[stoic charm]

it was added afterwards

[neat plaza]

does it happen on a new save

[winter isle]

hopefully my mods work now

[stoic charm]

I'll try checking it out

[winter isle]

all but one work id says thats a success

[stoic charm]

okay so update, it does :((

[summer swan]

Just tried it: Same result as on the pic (CP version).

[robust bison]

isn't that how it's supposed to be?

[neat plaza]

i assume without the wallpaper maybe?

[summer swan]

Ok. I would have expected that they changed that area too to fit the other parts of the house in regards to flooring and walls. But it doesn't seem like it when checking Tiled.

They did it for the bedroom but not for the "kitchenarea".

[halcyon igloo]

i… don’t have that happen lol

the items end up in weird areas and you will have to move them

[ebon yacht]

hello! does anyone know if there's an unofficial update for the customize anywhere mod??

[dapper gazelle]

what part's not working for you?

[ebon yacht]

i haven't put it in my game at all yet because it hasnt been updated since 2020 and apparently causes a lot of bugs due to being outdated :( is it still safe to use??

[dapper gazelle]

I use it and haven't run into problems? I thiiink you might not be able to dye your clothes but the clothing catalogue works for me as well as changing my farmer's appearance (hair, skin color) with the mirror. I double checked and I think I'm running the original not an unofficial update

[high current]

Hello, i downloaded the Zuzu town mod but for some reason i cant use the bus to go to the dessert anymore. Am i just dumb or did something go wrong while downloading the mods?

[ebon yacht]

ahh thank you so much! i will add it to my game then. i dont dye my clothes in the game cause i have so many custom outfits so it shouldn't be a problem!!

[high current]

Also smapi doesnt show any red texts so everything should be working fine i guess

[dapper gazelle]

did you keep the BusLocations [BL] Desert folder?

you'll need it to still be able to go to the desert

[high current]

Ahh thats exactly what i did haha tysm

[boreal thunder]

Hello I was trying to figure out what mod it was that had a tooltip for bundle items? UI infor suite 2 doesn't seem to have it but I could have sworn it was the one I was thinking about.

[summer swan]

What kind of tooltip?

[tiny nebula]

bro i dowlanded sve its very laggy

can anyone help me

i cant play like this

[boreal thunder]

One to show if an item belongs to a bundle?

[summer swan]

The blinking thing at the right side when hovering over an item for a bundle? That's a vanilla feature.

Oh. https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1329 <<-- Do you mean this?

[robust bison]

do you have pytk

[boreal thunder]

Blinking thing? O.o I have no idea what you mean. I'll have to look again. I had a mod that once told me the price and if something was in what bundle when I hovered

[neat plaza]

the little icon on the right of the inventory wrong thing

[summer swan]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Inventory <<-- Point 13 is what I meant. That one blinks when you hover over an item belonging to the CC.

[boreal thunder]

More like the mod you linked but I did forget about that thing in the inventory screen that really should be all I needed but it would say artisan goods or enchanters bundle or construction bundle. Suppose it's not that important if I can just look at the bundles from my inventory lol

Thanks for the help 🙂

[halcyon igloo]

i feel like it SHOULD be ui info bc i think it DOES tell me what bundle it’s a part of and i don’t have any other mods that would do that as far as i remember without looking at my game

[tiny nebula]

yes

bro so laggyyy

my pc is not bad like this

[robust bison]

remove pytk

[neat plaza]

try spritemaster or remove pytk as arcane said

[tiny nebula]

why

what is pytk

and what is spritemaster

can i play without pytk

this?

[neat plaza]

depends on your mods but yes

[neat plaza]

seeing as it says pytk, i'd guess so

[neat plaza]

a mod

[tiny nebula]

okey i will remove pytk if it doesnt work i ll ask for spritemaster

[halcyon igloo]

@runic owl what video are you watching?

[runic owl]

Mango plays

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61O59SFVuGw

[halcyon igloo]

and what part are you stuck at?

[runic owl]

The part where I set the smapi path

[halcyon igloo]

hmm and your SMAPI is in the usual spot in the games folder?

[runic owl]

I... would guess so? I haven't moved it since I started playing.

But like, I can't copy anything or open anything or do anything that would put the appropriate text in that ;one slot, but everything else is filled in.

[halcyon igloo]

have you tried just browsing to the folder from within the app yet?

[runic owl]

That's exactly what I've been doing

[halcyon igloo]

and it's not filling in?

[runic owl]

I try opening it from the stardrop app, and I tried from the steam app, and neither is working.

Do I need to copy paste?

[halcyon igloo]

you apparently can

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley

is where mine is

[runic owl]

Yeah I'm there, it opens automatically

[halcyon igloo]

and you pasted it into the SMAPI path field?

[runic owl]

I am trying again

Because it goes straight to my mod folder

[halcyon igloo]

go one level up?

[runic owl]

It says the given file isn't StardewmoddingAPI.exe, reverting to previous whatever. And I don't have a previous.

[halcyon igloo]

just open the folder

don't select the file

or wait hmm

[runic owl]

I have done that too, but that's the part where I'm getting stuck.

[halcyon igloo]

what's in your SMAPI path right now?

[runic owl]

Because opening it just takes me to see my files, it doesn't paste anything into STardrop

I dunno?

Just mods?

[halcyon igloo]

in the stardrop settings

[runic owl]

I don't have one.

[halcyon igloo]

this doesn't work?

[runic owl]

That's the one I have trouble filling out, and when I finally pasted something in there it says not the exe

[halcyon igloo]

wait are you on windows or mac

[runic owl]

Windows.

[halcyon igloo]

ok

[runic owl]

Let me try again with that pic

See this is why I need a visual guide.

I.... think it worked???

[halcyon igloo]

[runic owl]

How can I check?

[halcyon igloo]

did it auto-fill a Mods path?

[runic owl]

Once I deleted what as already there.

[halcyon igloo]

"Mod Folder Path"

ok make sure that specific folder has the mods that you want to manage in it

and then launch with the little pufferchick play button

(with all the mods you want enabled checked)

[runic owl]

Currently I just have everything enabled.

My main hope was that after I figured it out it'd be easier to just make different mod folders since the way I was doing it was too fiddly for me.

Looks like it's doing everything normally.

[halcyon igloo]

stardrop just uses one folder (and sub-folders if u like when u install them manually)

and then you set the different mod groups with the profiles in the top left

[runic owl]

ok

It's taking a while to load

[halcyon igloo]

SMAPI or stardrop?

[runic owl]

Stardrop, I think.

There it goes.

[halcyon igloo]

stardrop takes a while to launch because it checks for mod updates on launch

[runic owl]

Makes sense.

[austere apex]

Does anyone know of a mod to allow me to get blue chickens without Shane? Tried Google and didn't see any but wanted to double check here

[runic owl]

You should be looking on Nexus or Moddrop, really.

[robust bison]

wdym without shane

[runic owl]

Without triggering his event, I assume.

[summer swan]

Livestock choices?

[runic owl]

But like, you don't need to romance him for it, you can just get him to eight hearts.

[halcyon igloo]

i think livestock choices might do it bc it gives me the option to get golden chickens and i DEFINITELY haven't unlocked those yet lol

[runic owl]

And I'm back to having that stupid map up in the corner where I don't want it, and I can't figure out which hotkey to use.

Now I do have another question: Will launching with the pufferchick icon always launch it through Stardrop or do I have to make sure I have Stardrop open first?

[halcyon igloo]

i think the map in the corner is the backslash

you need to launch stardrop first

i think also it's so that you can choose if you want to change the profile before you launch too

also general Q does anyone else have issues with the alpha build of quality smash?

[halcyon igloo]

you can also change your launch options for stardew valley on steam so that it'll launch stardrop first

[runic owl]

Ah ok

Also I just pressed buttons until the map dissappeared.

hi, i install sampi and i getting this error when try to launch game

[halcyon igloo]

is your stardew valley installed in your C drive?

[frail tartan]

im on mac lol

[halcyon igloo]

sorry lol i just realized it'd be different

uhh have you seen step 2.3 on the getting started guide?

[frail tartan]

and i paste correct path to game

[frail tartan]

where i can find started guide?

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Mac im using this instructions

[halcyon igloo]

this link

that same link then lol

[frail tartan]

yup, i paste correct path to game, like i said before

[halcyon igloo]

i don't have a mac so hmmm

[frail tartan]

okey, thanks 😄

[halcyon igloo]

i'm not seeing the bit in your terminal where smapi asks for the game path though

[frail tartan]

sampi asks for the game path when install

[summer swan]

Not on mac either but: SMAPI is installed in your gamefolder?

[frail tartan]

yup

[halcyon igloo]

oh. move it out lol

the SMAPI installer is in the game folder?

[frail tartan]

in game folder there are only files, which is installed by SAMPI installer

[halcyon igloo]

does mac use .exe files ._.

[summer swan]

Uhm... pliik wy...y UNIX are what exe on windows?

[halcyon igloo]

why is it looking for an .exe lol

[frail tartan]

i dont know lol

[summer swan]

Did you install SMAPI for Windows or for map? dumb question

[halcyon igloo]

surely

[frail tartan]

for mac, by install on macOS.command

[summer swan]

Ok. So there's one version for all OS.

[halcyon igloo]

what version of MacOS are you on?

[frail tartan]

ventura (13.2)

[summer swan]

And you start StardewModdingAPI?

[halcyon igloo]

is that the one that gives smapi issues lol

.q 6004

[devout pumice]

[#6004] "Summary of the issue:
Other bash-script dependent software discussing the same issue:
https://community.localwp.com/t/macos-13-ventura-and-open-site-shell/33870/13
https://community.scripture.software.sil.org/t/macos-ventura-cant-launch-build-terminal/3353/2
According to them, it’s a bug in MacOS Ventura not setting the quarantine flag properly for actions originating in bash scripts. The relevant part of the OS being triggered is the "System Integrity Protection", which is documented here:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204899

Potential fixes:
Click the info icon, then click the file path displayed in the alert. This will take you to the folder with the SMAPI launcher, and you should be able to launch the game from there. This may not enable Steam connection, and it make make the game much more unstable.

Install iTerm and set it to be your default Terminal. This is not optimal if you like using Terminal, but otherwise seems like a perfectly workable solution.
https://iterm2.com/

Temporarily disable System Integrity Protection. This is not a great solution, because it leaves your computer vulnerable, and you should absolutely not leave your computer in this state." - @lament prairie (10 Jan 2023 @ 06:27:58 PM UTC)

[halcyon igloo]

not sure if this is the problem though

i just remember that some version of the OS gives smapi issues lol

but it APPEARS to have installed

[frail tartan]

yup

[halcyon igloo]

elizabeth will save us

[lament prairie]

Ventura issues should give a specific error message popping up

[summer swan]

Our saviour.

[lament prairie]

This seems like a more garden-variety game path issue, most likely?

[halcyon igloo]

i'm not able to pinpoint the issue just looking at their files though

smapi throws a crash log right? or

[lament prairie]

Well the filepath where the game is detected looks a bit different

Is this GOG?

But the SMAPI installonMacOS.command finished with green text?

[summer swan]

Btw Elizabeth: Is it normal that Mac has 4 files looking like what would be exe on windows instead of 2?

[lament prairie]

How are you launching the game?

Yeah Mac has a bunch of unix executables

Some of these are SMAPI and some are original SDV

I think top one is normal, next is SMAPI, next is SMAPI, next is normal

[summer swan]

Ok. I was a bit confused as it's different on windows.

[lament prairie]

On Mac the installer replaces the game executable with a script that launches SMAPI

[summer swan]

Oh. Ok.

[lament prairie]

You can actually just read the script by opening the right Unix executable file in a text editor like TextEdit

[frail tartan]

yes, gog

[summer swan]

As I said: Not on Mac anyway. But if it requires an "extra step" (script instead of the actual one) it explains the additonal files. I thought that maybe something else might be wrong. Thanks for clarification.

[lament prairie]

I have less experience with GOG on Mac, but it should work similarly, if the installer had green text it should have found the game properly

[halcyon igloo]

welp i got nothing lol

[lament prairie]

If you go into your game folder, do you see the same 4 or so executables as me?

[halcyon igloo]

they've got a screenshot of their game folder a little ways up

[frail tartan]

.

[halcyon igloo]

it looooooks like yes?

[frail tartan]

witcher 3 is easier to install on mac lol

[halcyon igloo]

if only there were a verbose option or something lol

[lament prairie]

Try launching the 5kb one directly?

what version of content patcher does it say it's using in the content.json?

[frail tartan]

same lol

[lament prairie]

if that didn't work then honestly i do not know what is wrong

[lunar mesa]

my cp is 1.28.4

[lunar mesa]

im sorry youre gonna have to repeat how i do this

[halcyon igloo]

in the content.json it should specify a format or something

elizabeth do you have any ideas on the coop bc i am OUT lol

[lunar mesa]

ik the version is 1.28.4

[halcyon igloo]

ah ok

h/o lemme see if i still have it downloaded lol

[lament prairie]

@tired brook
System: GOG MacOS Ventura
Issue: Installation script runs just fine, finished with green text, but the user launching from GOG and the executable directly (the one that I checked launches SMAPI for me) hits the above error where SMAPI can't find the game
Guess as to problem: some kind of issue in the launch script that is weird for GOG???

[halcyon igloo]

wait did you change it to 1.28.4

not that it suuuper matters i don't think but

[lunar mesa]

what do u mean by change it

[halcyon igloo]

the Format field? did you edit it

[lunar mesa]

like in the actual coding? no, but after messing with those max population mods it just wasnt the same

[halcyon igloo]

the latest format version for content patcher is supposedly 1.28.0

[lunar mesa]

i have no idea what these fields are youre speaking about

are we talking about the actual files or smapi log paser

[halcyon igloo]

in the screenshot i posted it says Format

the actual files

[lunar mesa]

ok brb

nope its this

[halcyon igloo]

no the content.json, not the manifest.json

for the buildings

[lunar mesa]

oh brb

[native dragon]

@lunar mesa You leveled up to Cowpoke. You can now speak in our voice channels and share images in all channels!

[lunar mesa]

there is no content.json..

just config and mani

[halcyon igloo]

for yellog's buildings ^^

[lunar mesa]

ohh okay brb

do you want me to load the content,json

?

[halcyon igloo]

yeah

[tired brook]

Can you post a screenshot of your game folder (with as many files visible as possible)?

[lament prairie]

me or the user?

[tired brook]

(Sorry, meant to ping them. @frail tartan ^)

[frail tartan]

yup, wait a sec

[halcyon igloo]

i think format version 1.3 is like.... ancient so we can try updating the file to see if it fixes anything

so you would change the Format field from 1.3 to 1.28.0 and then for all of the Action fields change it from Load to EditImage

i honestly have no idea why it keeps changing back and forth though 😅

[lunar mesa]

ok i will try

[tired brook]

Can you create an empty folder in your game folder named Stardew Valley.exe? It'll still fail, but that should change the error message.

[tired brook]

Can you open a terminal, run this command, and post a screenshot of what it shows?

cat /tmp/open-smapi-terminal.command

[tired brook]

Interesting. I'll create a custom build of SMAPI for you to try in a bit to see what the underlying error is.

[lunar mesa]

holy shit it worked i think

[halcyon igloo]

updating the content json?

[lunar mesa]

yeah! i dont see any yellog in the script!

thanks!

[halcyon igloo]

and the buildings are staying?

i have no idea what changed between format version 1.3 and format version 1.28 lol but if it worked then

[frail tartan]

okey, im waitting 😄

thank you!

@tired brook can you dm me when you create that build? 🙂

[tired brook]

@frail tartan Can you try again with this build, and post a screenshot of the error? (I can DM you if you don't see this.)

[frail tartan]

oh so fast 😄 thank you

i will check now

@tired brook

[tired brook]

It seems like something is wrong with the bundled version of .NET. Can you try this?

1. uninstall the game;
2. completely delete that game folder (if it's not deleted automatically);
3. reinstall the game;
4. launch the game and make sure it gets to the title screen fine;
5. install SMAPI;
6. see if the error still happens.

[frail tartan]

i try to reinstall game 3-4 times 😦 maybe this is because GOG native mac version?

[tired brook]

That should be fine; the issue is with the bundled .NET assemblies, which shouldn't be different between GOG and Steam.

[frail tartan]

.NET should be delivered with the system or should I install it?

[tired brook]

It's included in the game files (it's mscorlib.dll and most of the other files in the game folder).

@lament prairie Just to make sure, does your game folder have files named api-ms-*.dll on macOS?

[lament prairie]

hmmm

...no?

this isn't everything but it's alphabetical so it should cover that range

[tired brook]

Yep, that's fine then.

[frail tartan]

i know mac isnt for gaming but... 🤣

[tired brook]

If a full reinstall doesn't work, not sure what else we can try unfortunately. The error happens when SMAPI tries to load the game assembly, before it even does anything with it.

(Here's the line that's failing for any C# modders watching.)

_ = Type.GetType($"StardewValley.Game1, {EarlyConstants.GameAssemblyName}", throwOnError: true);

[frail tartan]

i can try again reinstall, wait

and the same problem

[gaunt gust]

why is it trying to load NET 4.0?

[frail tartan]

o

wtf

[dusty spruce]

yeah, that was my thought too

[frail tartan]

thats weird

stardew valley using .net5 right?

[summer swan]

Unless I'm very dumb right now: Yes.

[lament prairie]

yeah it is

[frail tartan]

maybe problem is that, i have m2 processor

arm

and its running by rosseta2

[tired brook]

Not sure about M2, but SMAPI should work fine with M1 at least.

[frail tartan]

so should works also with M2

[tired brook]

Can you...

1. uninstall SMAPI;
2. launch the vanilla game;
3. click [?] on the title screen;
4. and see what version number it shows in the bottom-left?

[frail tartan]

yup. wait

[halcyon igloo]

making them put in WERK

loving the team effort everyone ganbatte

[frail tartan]

after click ? i see only this

hmm

[summer swan]

Scroll down in the center?

[dusty spruce]

funny, i don't think i've EVER opened that menu

never saw it before

[frail tartan]

i have only here info about version

[frail tartan]

sorry, its late xD

[tired brook]

Seems it shows that message after launching the game exactly 8 times. It'll show a different message the 9th and 10th time, then show the version number (until the 15th time).

[mild talon]

aghh.. is this b/c of Better Ranching update? i Just dl'd the latest and this error appeared

[summer swan]

That's where it's on windows (buttom left), but you've a tip there.

[mild talon]

How do i protect my horses' hearts?

[tired brook]

So... I guess launch it three more times until the message is replaced with a version number.

[frail tartan]

1.5.6 maybe?

[dusty spruce]

"compat"

[summer swan]

Oh. That might explain it.

[tired brook]

Hmm, sounds like the compatibility branch. What download options do you have on GOG?

(Before you fix it, it'd be useful to get SMAPI to detect that case in the future.)

[mild talon]

Oh, the Horse Overhaul author is already aware and is thinking of how to resolve it. Not sure what i can do in the meantime...

[frail tartan]

wait, i try to download by gog galaxy

[summer swan]

Give them a bit of time as it seems to be very recent.

[gaunt gust]

no, that's because Better Ranching changes their API

so it would be the Better Ranching update

[mild talon]

atra, that was my first intuitive guess (knowing nothing about how it works)

Golden Revolver wrote in on the BR bug reports

[halcyon igloo]

new smapi load order config?

until it's fixed in code by mod authors

[mild talon]

and then on HO page. guess i'll revert

[summer swan]

I don't know if it fixes your issue but latest comment on Better Ranching states to revert to an earlier version.

[mild talon]

watch it be fixed right after

yes 😅 devolving

[halcyon igloo]

can't you just manually sort the load order for this one instance until official fix*

[summer swan]

Oh. Loadorder party.

[dusty spruce]

…I thought all APIs could be accessed just fine, no matter the load order, as early as OnGameLaunched? Or am I mistaken here

[tired brook]

(Tip for mod authors: don't depend on default load order. If your mod really needs to load after another mod, then it needs a dependency. Otherwise it'll fail due to changes like that, mod folder naming, etc.)

[frail tartan]

with this, working now

sorry for my problem! and thank you all for help!

[gaunt gust]

hmmm. Downloaded and decompiled better ranching, all the methods seem accounted for

but I didn't look too carefully

[tired brook]

Welcome! I'll look into improving the compatibility branch detection, the SMAPI installer is supposed to check for that.

[frail tartan]

<3!

[mild talon]

(so are they mistaken about the "soft dependency on GMCM" thing then?)

[halcyon igloo]

SDV modding community

[summer swan]

I guess you helped improving SMAPI (unintentionally).

[gaunt gust]

oh no

[dusty spruce]

As long as that mod doesn’t access the API before OnGameLaunched, all should be good

[gaunt gust]

I see what went on

internal void

that's the method that's failing to map

[frail tartan]

no problem! hahaha

[dusty spruce]

Well well well

Sooo Better Ranching gotta fix it I guess?

[mild talon]

it cannot map my horse's internal void heart 🖤

[dusty spruce]

Would be weird if it was an external heart

[gaunt gust]

they're on github at least, I can add to my PR list

[mild talon]

well, the emoji indicator is external

OK, thanks for helping me understand :>

[dusty spruce]

Might want to notify the author that it’s not a case of load order

[gaunt gust]

I left a nexus comment already

but I'll explain more in a PR message. I think they wanted to depreciate methods

[mild talon]

it's weird how Sometimes I can delete [a mod] while the game is loaded (title screen at least) but most of the time it says No [b/c it's 'in use']

[gaunt gust]

(I'll do some fussing to do deprecation logging too)

[tired brook]

You can't delete a loaded C# mod, but you can delete a content pack (or a C# mod that failed to load). I wouldn't recommend deleting content packs mid-session though.

[mild talon]

Ohh.. maybe it didn't load because of the error? I was able to delete BR while title screen was on

Good to know, thanks!

[sleek tartan]

sorry for the stupid question (and also if it's a repeated question), but do I have to delete smapi in order to update it? as in, delete and install it again?

[halcyon igloo]

if you run the installer it’ll automatically clean up after itself and the previous install

[subtle siren]

I recently downloaded East Scarpe, some NPCs under that page and deep woods. Now when I play multiplayer, my friend joins and experiences super lag when picking up harvested goods and opening chests even though the first day we installed and played everything was smooth. Anyone have any similar issues?

[sleek tartan]

thankiiii

Maybe connection issues and it'll work better later?

[subtle siren]

we have both checked our connections and there has been no change nor reported issues.

[long brook]

Try sending log from both of you and your friend (you already sent yours apparently)

[subtle siren]

we have the exact same log. pytk may be the issue. Trying to launch with that deactivated and the coinsiding mods

coinciding

[summer swan]

I don't necessarily mean your internet connection but also the servers doing the whole multiplayer thing. 🤷‍♀️

[long brook]

Log isn'r only for looking for mismatch mod, but also looking for some error that might occur during lag spike. If no error shown by both of you log after that happen, it is connection issue like kuro said

[summer swan]

I've no experience with mp but as you said it worked perfectly fine before I would wait half an hour or so and try again. Or did you add East Scarp etc later on to the save and that was the point where the issue started?

[sharp night]

im stuck in no clip mode. i had hit x by accident, which tuned it on, then somehow moved a chest one tile up and when i went to turn no clip off, i could still go out of bound

[subtle siren]

@summer swan we added East Scarp and it was working smoothly on our first session a few days ago. issues started last night. Works fine on single player it seems

[gaunt gust]

[mild talon]

Ok, I am having a weird problem...

Whenever I go to buy an animal at Marnie's, I go to pick the building for its home and the screen scroll-jumps to the NW corner of my farm. I can't move back to where the coops/barns are.. any idea what this is ??

I can add log but there are no SMAPI errors

[sleek tartan]

are you using a controller?

because I have the same issue and it's because of that

[summer swan]

My first guess was a stuck key on your keyboard. 😅

[mild talon]

I do use joy cons yes. They've worked all along so far. I switch btwn them and mouse (laptop trackpad). Neither works rn to move screen to buildings

[summer swan]

@sleek tartan Did you try reinstalling that museum mod? And it seems you've a mod installed into Mods instead of it being in a subfolder.

[mild talon]

It is "locked"

Actually.. it lets me select an open building and Then it jumps to corner and I can't complete the transaction

[sleek tartan]

I did! I had flower valley and someone told me that it was causing a visual issue with the museum expansion, and I have a cutscene there so I removed flower valley so the cutscene wouldn't bug, I thought that was gonna fix the issue with the museum but I just created more lol

[mild talon]

I have no idea what could be behind this.. SM??

Zoom Level?

[sleek tartan]

Try forcing it off and then buying an animal with your trackpad

that's on options btw

[mild talon]

Ok, will do

[dapper gazelle]

(oh the visual issue should only be visual and on the outside Siri! shouldn't affect cut scenes)

[sleek tartan]

that's what I do and it works for me, tho I play with a regular controller

[dapper gazelle]

(it's me, the someone who mentioned the visual issue 🤣 )

[mild talon]

Oh God idk hownto do anything w/o them

[sleek tartan]

sadly it seems like it does, I had a cutscene with Randy going to school in the library and my game bugged out and I had to close it xD

[sleek tartan]

S A M E

[mild talon]

That did not work :<

[sleek tartan]

I literally don't know how to play the game without a controller

oh :

I'm sorry then 😦

[mild talon]

It played out the Same way

How do you pull up menu ??

M is map

[sleek tartan]

@dapper gazelle look D:

press escape

[mild talon]

Ah, TY

[sleek tartan]

np! ❤️

[dapper gazelle]

Museum Expansion needs an update probably. I sort of remember someone encountering an issue with something.... let me see if I saved the error the person was getting

[mild talon]

Well, no animals till I can figure this out I guess

[summer swan]

Dumb idea: Try restarting the game / your pc? 🤷‍♀️

[sleek tartan]

I usually say really unkind words to my pc when it doesn't automatically solve my issues, maybe it helps

actually restart the game without the joycons and try again

[mild talon]

I will.. eventually! But maybe it won't happen on next load

[dapper gazelle]

(Above screenshots re: Museum Expansion errors)

[sleek tartan]

my brain shut off while reading that, why

so I should download the previous version of the mod?

[dapper gazelle]

just take it slow

[summer swan]

You probably have long loading times due to mod count? Can you quit to title (if restarting game is too long) and load the game without controller and use the keyboard till you've the animals?

[dapper gazelle]

ok so for the schedule error, just rename it per the second screenshot

[sleek tartan]

you're an angel

[dapper gazelle]

for the map error, yes it seems like you need to download the prior version and then drag the furniture png from there into the Maps folder of the recent version you have, per the first screenshot

[mild talon]

I wanna play the day first 🙃
But even w all these mods it's like 5 min loading

Not bad for me. Terrible for others

[summer swan]

Oh. That's what you meant with "later". Of course finish the day. Animals can wait a day (or 2 or 3).

[sleek tartan]

thank youuuuuuuuu ❤️ I fixed the map (inside) but I can't talk to Randy, but that's okay, I don't have to talk to him lol

I just downloaded an old version of the mod

[dapper gazelle]

OK so there's probably an additional issue going on. Most people don't notice dialogue issues as quickly bc they often don't throw errors

[sleek tartan]

lol Randy talks to me if I gift him something

[dapper gazelle]

(they're also way more tedious to test from the mod author side so we often don't notice them either LOL)

but I'm glad you've got the other parts working yay!! 😄

[sleek tartan]

I can wait for a mod update, honestly it's not urgent at all, I was just stuck on a cutscene that bugged and that's why I was trying to fix it, but since that's over... NOT A PROBLEM ANYMORE

[scarlet badger]

Hii, I need some help with a mod 😭 I'm pretty sure it's a very simple mod but I have no idea how it works ;-; Basically I want to make my own portraits for the characters of the vanilla game, expanded and ridgeside village, just personal use for now.
I know nothing about modding so I searched for mods that would make it easier and I found one called "HD portraits template" and its just what i needed, but I have no idea about the whole process of portrait making ;-; If anyone can tell me or link me to a good tutorial I would really appreciate it 🥲

[lament prairie]

#making-mods-general

which part is the confusing part though?

[scarlet badger]

Like- i don't understand how the mod works at all, where am I supposed to put the portraits once done? Sorry if it's dumb I'm v new to this portrait making process 😭

[lament prairie]

Ok let's hop over to #making-mods-general and I can explain a bit

[scarlet badger]

Alrightt, thank you 🥲

[plain plinth]

Anyone around? Need help with the Immersive Sprinkler mod

Tryin to pick up the small sprinkler, says the default key is E to pick it up but it's just opening my menu screen

[sleek tartan]

have you tried changing the key on the mod menu?

[plain plinth]

Where do i go to do that?

[sleek tartan]

go to options and scroll allll the way down to "mod options"

then search for the sprinkler mod and check if you can change the hotkey

[summer swan]

If you can't change the key there: Go to title screen and bottom left.

[plain plinth]

uhm well idk what happened but i can hit them with my pickaxe now

I was literally hitting every little corner spot on those damn things n wasn't working, sorry to waste your time lmao thx guys

[sleek tartan]

no problem, glad it's fixed! ❤️

[summer swan]

No problem. Still: Check the options to change the key if you have a key to spare.

[plain plinth]

It's fun going back n forth with the mod version to just normal with the gf on the switch lol can't wait til she gets her pc XD and thanks I will prob still do that kuro

[hot tide]

Hi , I want to install smapı but when ı clıck it says - Oops It looks like you're running the installer from inside a zip file. Make sure you unzip the download first.

Press any key to continue . . .

How can ı fix this

[fervent hawk]

in order to fix this you'll need to extract the file first. Once you select Extract all you'll be prompted to select the path - you can browse for a path that is convenient to you - once the extracted folder opens you can proceed with installing SMAPI

i'm having some audio issues and figured i needed to come here. my game is modded and i have the smapi log here: https://smapi.io/log/a2f1718e43d84d7f9d48ca55f64bdd5c

[hot tide]

Thank you so much

[fervent hawk]

no worries!! good luck!!

[cedar lark]

well just going with what I've seen

Krobus Bowl Cut is having a fit

[peak forge]

it really was lmao

i put it in the right spot and everything so idk what happened

Gigi's portraits wasnt wanting to work and neither was the new wizard sprite i added in

[cedar lark]

are they xnb mods?

[peak forge]

just the wizard sprite

[runic owl]

Don't use xnb

[peak forge]

everything else was either CP or portraiter

[peak forge]

fun thing is that the wizard sprite isnt what broke

[runic owl]

Portraiture also relies on PYTK which is also not recommended anymore.

[fervent hawk]

is there a replacement for PYTK?

[cedar lark]

Content Patcher

[runic owl]

Content patcher

[peak forge]

so i just have to redownload Gigi's stuff but make sure its cp?

[fervent hawk]

gotcha - i had both but i hadn't played in so long i didn't realize PYTK had gone out of date

[cedar lark]

It's possible to convert XNB to CP as well

I did it for somebody elses mod...it was interesting

[delicate lance]

[cedar lark]

are you using a mod manager like Vortex?

[delicate lance]

is smapi a mod manager

[peak forge]

speaking of vortex, is it better to use than hand-dragging mods

[cedar lark]

no, you need it for mods

[cedar lark]

no vortex is bad

tends to eat files like manifest

[delicate lance]

then no im not

[cedar lark]

if you use a mod manager, people say to use Stardrop

!stardrop

[native dragon]

Stardrop (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/10455) is the only mod manager written specifically for Stardew Valley. For information about how to install and use it, please see the Stardrop wiki: https://floogen.gitbook.io/stardrop/
If you're having an issue, here's the guidelines on reporting issues: https://floogen.gitbook.io/stardrop/resources/reporting-issues

[cedar lark]

I would delete the broken mod and redownload

[delicate lance]

i have several times lol

[cedar lark]

make sure to save and move over the config file if you don't wanna manually adjust later

hm, well post a log

[delicate lance]

sorry how do i do that

[cedar lark]

!log

[native dragon]

Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?

[fervent hawk]

i'm also running into this issue. I've removed PYTK and fully updated SMAPI but idk how to fix this. I think there might be a conflict between Voicemeeter and the game directly.

but idk if it's mod related and i should just do another clean install of the game

[cedar lark]

a log would help as well

could be a driver issue?

[cedar lark]

try plugging in a pair of headphones maybe?

or follow that yeah

[delicate lance]

do i have to delete anything to re download smapi

[cedar lark]

nope

[long brook]

No just run smapi installer again

[cedar lark]

just rerun

[peak forge]

tbch i really dont feel like redoing all of this

[fervent hawk]

my headset is plugged in already - i use voicemeeter to manage my audio and so i'm wondering if that's causing an issue.

[peak forge]

i require motivation

[cedar lark]

do it for the slime then

[peak forge]

is that from That One Time I Got Reincarnated Into A Slime

yoba thats a mouthfull

[cedar lark]

Nope, Campfire Cooking

[peak forge]

no idea what that is but its cute ill give you that

[fervent hawk]

i have already tried this

[delicate lance]

i reinstalled smapi still says the same thing

[long brook]

Coulde be voicemeeter then

post a new log now

I think its possible you have them in there incorrectly

but I don't know without seeing it

[delicate lance]

ok

[fervent hawk]

do you know of any resources to be able to correct this?

[long brook]

Sorry idk about that. What is voicemeeter? And can you set voicemeeter to not work when launching sdv?

[cedar lark]

i will say SDV is really weird about changing audio mid game as well

so I'm not surprised that it wouldn't like this app you use

[delicate lance]

is this what you meant

[cedar lark]

yep

mm first four files are gonna cause issues

but maybe not the actual issue you're having

its odd that its not sorted alphabetically

[fervent hawk]

voicemeeter is a digital audio interface. a lot of people who stream use this to remap certain sources (mostly to avoid copyright claims on vods). if voicemeeter is not enabled then none of my audio comes through

[delicate lance]

i noticed that it used to be idk what happened

[cedar lark]

can you open your RSV and screen shot it

oh interesting

you pulled out the folders in the mod folders it looks like

thats gonna cause issues

and there's a floating assets folder in there

couldn't tell you what mod that goes to

[glacial tangle]

You can also delete the Mac folder, unless you are playing on a Mac

[cedar lark]

well based on the folder structure

I think not

[glacial tangle]

open up the assets folder and see what is is, it might belong to ridgeside or downtown

[long brook]

The easy way, deleylte downtown zuzu and rsv then reinstall them

And also assets folder in Mods folder

Wait

Delete [STF] Ridgeside Village, [NPC] Downtown Zuzu, and assets folder in Mods folder

[long brook]

@delicate lance

[peak forge]

can i still use portraiture or no

want to know before i start with the portraits

[cedar lark]

you can, but come 1.6 not sure if it will work?

since PyTk and all

[peak forge]

all smapi says is that it might make the game run slower

(it skips sometimes)

[cedar lark]

fair enough, just not sure if it will work in the future

[peak forge]

prob wont but i really like how cute Gigi's portraits are

[cedar lark]

whats the mod?

[peak forge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3759?tab=description

[long brook]

Can you report this on smapi github? There was a report on 2018 but it's already closed
This is smapi github https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/issues?q=is%3Aissue+voicemeeter+is%3Aopen

[cedar lark]

in theory it should be easy enough to convert to CP

[peak forge]

i have no idea how to do that ima be honest

[cedar lark]

I didn't either at first

[peak forge]

how does one convert

[cedar lark]

just a sec

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Content_Patcher

so I made a conversion mod for somebody elses portrait pack

simple as this

pictures go in the assets folder

content is the coding

manifest is for the technical details for nexus and smapi

would I be allowed to share my content file?

not sure honestly, still can't upload it to nexus anyways so...

[peak forge]

so uh

[cedar lark]

you can probably find another mod to try and work off of

[peak forge]

since i have a hard time reading numbers, im not sure if i can do this

and ive never coded before

[cedar lark]

its not really numbers actually

hold on

this is just a snippet really

RSV has a lot of npcs to work with

I used Visual Studio Code to work on it

RSV was kind enough to have a template content file as well

there might be a template file for SDV and SVE as well? not sure

[peak forge]

ima be honest here, thinking about doing this is stressful and im already upset that i broke my game

ill probably take a crack at it later

[cedar lark]

yeah took me a weekend to get a working version of it

but I'm not cool enough for the cheeto color

[peak forge]

cheeto color?

[cedar lark]

that and I didn't really make the portrait work, just the conversion to CP from XNB

Mod Author color

[peak forge]

oh

[cedar lark]

its mostly a joke, I don't mind either way lol

[peak forge]

ooh

so its looks like these are all PNG

[cedar lark]

even easier then

its pretty much exactly what I had to do with the mod I converted

just with less names and coding

RSV adds over 50 npcs

that was a lot of names to add

[peak forge]

i have portraits for them too, from DCBurger

but thats what all that lovely red text is from in my log

[cedar lark]

Yeah I looked at that

I was gonna try and convert it to CP as well

[peak forge]

the portraits mod told me to replace the files

so i did and it broke

[cedar lark]

did you replace for each folder like it probably wanted?

[peak forge]

yep

its not a portraiature mod so it wasnt supposed to go in there

and i already dont like replacing files if i can help it, so it was really odd to me that it would require that

[cedar lark]

doesn't say here to replace files

just to add files to a folder

[peak forge]

wrong one

the ones for RSV

its by someone who made the art style to look like DCBurger

[cedar lark]

ah right

[peak forge]

DC's is a portraiture mod/cp

[cedar lark]

yeah I converted "Numbers" version of RSV

theres two different versions of the download it says

a replacement version and a CP version

[peak forge]

im fkin stupid then

[peak forge]

its so hard to understand what half these modders mean when they upload stuff

[cedar lark]

well I hope you can get it to work

main reason I dabbled in making a CP version of that art pack was so I didn't have to reinstall the portraits every time I updated RSV

[peak forge]

fair

out of morbid curiosity, since these are PNG files from Gigi....cant i just pop them into the main file for characters

[fervent hawk]

the report from this i think is still relevant but i only kind of understand what Large Address Aware means

[cedar lark]

possibly, I didn't code it so I'm unsure. you can try and find out I suppose

[long brook]

Yeah. If i know pathoschild (the smapi dev) is active rn, i might try to ping him/her here

[cedar lark]

it says they are away

but you might get a response if you do ping them

[peak forge]

as you can probably tell, im invisable

a secret agent if you will

our lord and savior concernedape is online

i wonder if he looks in all the channels

[long brook]

@tired brook sorry for ping
There is someone that get error when using voicemeeter. This is the chat and also the log link that said audio output not found while using voicemeeter <#archived-modded-support message>

i'm sorry for breaking your game Mr. Ape :(

[peak forge]

^me 30 minutes ago

[fervent hawk]

me, two days ago when i reinstalled Stardew Valley

[peak forge]

dude same

but i broke mine from.....something

havent exactly figured out what caused it

[long brook]

Let's hope pathos can give you solution later

[fervent hawk]

i'm 🤌 this close to just uninstalling and reinstalling everything but that would take so much time

[peak forge]

thats what im doing right now

and man

this is boring

[cedar lark]

could always try Stardrop and see if it helps the installation process at least

[peak forge]

im stubborn and set in my old (i turn 25 this year) ways

i used to mod minecraft in the way back, before Forge came out

[fervent hawk]

i hope so - i'm afraid it's going to be complicated, but the only thing i've found that's actually had some success is applying Large Address Aware, which i see that pathos said there were some drawbacks, but some have found success with it

[fervent hawk]

i literally turn 26 saturday and feel like i'm 89

happy belated birthday

[long brook]

We havs similar age lol

[fervent hawk]

i also don't understand mod managers i'll be honest

[peak forge]

all three of us?

[fervent hawk]

ty i'm not ready to say goodbye to 25 LMAO

[long brook]

Yyp. I'll be 27 at 6 later this month

[fervent hawk]

we're all a year apart that's so cute

[peak forge]

so we have a 96, 97 and a 98

[fervent hawk]

my friends call me old because i was born in the 90's

[peak forge]

all my friends are also 90's babies/kids

so

if they call me old then we're all old

[fervent hawk]

some of my friends are like 21-22

[peak forge]

babies, the lot of them

[fervent hawk]

we were born in different centuries

[long brook]

Stardrop is easy-to-use mod manager. You can drag the zip file you download into it and it automatically install the mod to the respective folder (or you can use Nexus API to be able to use vortex download button)

[peak forge]

someone on tiktok said a kid told them they were born in "the 1900's (nineteen hundreds)

[fervent hawk]

i might look into it idk - just seems silly when i can just copy it into the folder. however i will say it can get kind of hairy sometimes

[cedar lark]

I'm tempted to try Stardrop as well

but I already manually install everything right now

[peak forge]

ive learned my lesson from trusting mod managers

looks at Forge

[cedar lark]

what did forge do

[fervent hawk]

existed

[peak forge]

break all my favorite mods and make it impossible to hand-mod

[cedar lark]

ah

[long brook]

The feature of stardrop is setting mod profile

That's why i use stardrop

[peak forge]

SMAPI is nice and tells you what's broken/will break/wont load

Forge was like "idk dude figure it out"

[long brook]

Well smapi is a mod API (loader you might say), so it's kinda different to mod manager

[peak forge]

fair

[cedar lark]

and Stardrop had to be hand made to not mess up the things other mod mangers mess up like eating files

[peak forge]

do i have to drag the file out of itself when i extract it or can i just leave it there

its rather irritating to drag them out

[long brook]

I was using vortex first time modding adv. Someone warned me then i switch to stardrop. Few months after that when vortex update came, it brokes sdv modding

[peak forge]

ooof

[long brook]

You can add . to the name of mod you wanna disable

[peak forge]

thats not what i meant

[long brook]

Oh when you extract it

[peak forge]

when you extract a file using 7Zip it makes does it lil extracting thing

[long brook]

My bad

[cedar lark]

so you drop the entire zipped folder in

[peak forge]

and you get the file that holds the file

[cedar lark]

and it auto extracts it

[peak forge]

dont you have to unzip

[cedar lark]

not with stardrop no

[peak forge]

dont use that

i dont*

[cedar lark]

if manual, then yes

[long brook]

I do. But i use stardrop so i use vortex feature 😂

[cedar lark]

you unzip and move the files

[long brook]

And for manual installation, i drag the zip into stardrop and let it work the rest

[cedar lark]

yeah stardrop seems really useful

[steep heron]

anyone here available to give me input on why they think i may be having this one issue with the Ridgeside Village mod?

[cedar lark]

yes

!log

[native dragon]

Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?

[long brook]

And can you explain the issue after doing log above

[steep heron]

me?

[long brook]

Yes

But at least do what governor bot ask you above first

[steep heron]

i copied the link on the second page

i just post it here?

[long brook]

Yes

[steep heron]

[steep heron]

Pytk?

[cedar lark]

Looks like you have xnb mods in your mod folder

just kinda floating around

[long brook]

There is no ridgeside village mod installed

[cedar lark]

oh yeah that too

[steep heron]

it's called "[CM] Ridgeside Mobile"

also i am running through Nexus Vortex

[cedar lark]

are you using a 1.4 version of the android version of smapi?

[steep heron]

[long brook]

You choose the wrong version of ridgside. You need to use pc version

[steep heron]

o

that

[cedar lark]

yep

[steep heron]

would probably explain a lot

[cedar lark]

but you do have other issues that I can see

[long brook]

You can delete the mobile version first

[steep heron]

yeah i've seen a few other problems so far

like 1-2

maybe 3

[long brook]

We'll deal with it later. But firat you want RSV right?

[steep heron]

mhm

am redownloading it from Vortex with the right version

[distant charm]

hello! sorry for just hopping in but i need some help

i kinda went on an "update everything i can" spree because i'd left it long enough, but now all of a sudden my config mod tool is missing from my game and im not sure what to do 💔

both smapi and generic config are fully updated (though the terminal insists otherwise) and i weep

[cedar lark]

Also I would avoid using Vortex

[steep heron]

my brain is too small to use it otherwise o, - ,o

[cedar lark]

if you wanna use a mod manager

[steep heron]

i am VERY new to modding

[cedar lark]

!stardrop

[native dragon]

Stardrop (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/10455) is the only mod manager written specifically for Stardew Valley. For information about how to install and use it, please see the Stardrop wiki: https://floogen.gitbook.io/stardrop/
If you're having an issue, here's the guidelines on reporting issues: https://floogen.gitbook.io/stardrop/resources/reporting-issues

[long brook]

!log will be a good start to see a problem

[native dragon]

@distant charm Can you upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page) and share the link here?

[distant charm]

uhhh

see i am a small brain type of gal

[steep heron]

would i have to redownload all 105 of my mods to the new launcher?

[distant charm]

i am unsure what that means or what i gotta do aHDAKSDA

[cedar lark]

nope

[steep heron]

mood

i will look into this new mod loader thank you

[long brook]

If you have the zip file of those mod, no. Just drag em to stardrop and let it work the rest

[steep heron]

all of mine are unzipped

in the mods folder

but in regular folders

[long brook]

Go to that link and you'll see instruction there

[cedar lark]

I think it should auto detect them right?

[steep heron]

do i download the mod manager through Vortex or manually

i would assume manually...

[long brook]

I forgot how vortex work, but can you screenshot one of mod folder inside Mods folder?

Manually

[cedar lark]

make sure you get the correct version as well

[long brook]

I thibk vortex put Mods folder in apddata, not in game folder

[distant charm]

the instructions are very unclear asdASDHAf

[long brook]

Can you open obe of those folder and screenshot again?

[steep heron]

sure

[cedar lark]

are you on windows?

[distant charm]

nop, mac

[cedar lark]

ok mac

[long brook]

!autolog install this then just press some button in-game (instruction on mod page) and it will auto make log in browser then send the link here

[native dragon]

If finding a log is too confusing and you're able to load your save, you can install the In-Game SMAPI Log Uploader to get the log without having to search through the files. Simply hold Left Alt in game and then click the Pufferfish symbol and the log will automatically be uploaded to smapi.io! https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/13979

[long brook]

So can you copy all those mod folder into Mods folder inside game folder? Stardrop will auto detect it later

If yku wanna use stardrop and uninstall vortex later

[steep heron]

oki ill try

[long brook]

If ther is no Mods folder inside the game folder, you can make one. Name the folder Mods

Do you know where the game folder is?

[steep heron]

the one in roaming or

the one in Vortex

[cedar lark]

easy way to find it

[long brook]

No that's not

[steep heron]

oo oki

[distant charm]

so sorry, ive installed it but im literally clueless as to what button you're asking me to click, and i don't see any instructions on it aaaa

[steep heron]

oh neat! all of my mods are already there as well!

[long brook]

Hold left shift button. You'll see chicken icon on top left screen. Click it and a browser will open log link

[long brook]

But that is what vortex made, not the mod itself

[steep heron]

o

good to know

[long brook]

If you ooen one of the mod folder there, the files isn't the same to what you screenshot before

[distant charm]

oh pog!

[long brook]

That's why vortex tend to mess things up while modding sdv

[steep heron]

so...

[distant charm]

why's my smapi 3.15

boi imma

[steep heron]

i delete all of these and yoink the real mod files from the roaming/vortex/stardew/mods folder to my folder with stardrop?

[long brook]

You need to install new version of smapi then

[distant charm]

i have is the thing, twice. it doesn't wanna update it

[cedar lark]

personal thought since i haven't done it myself

[long brook]

Except stardrop. You can place stardrop folder enywhere

[cedar lark]

install stardrop and see if it auto detects the mod

but you can follow box

[long brook]

Download the newest version, run the installer again

[distant charm]

aaaalrighty

[steep heron]

i assume i can leave these?

or delete them

(they're all that's left in the folder now)

[long brook]

They'll be gone when you uninstal vortex

[steep heron]

[distant charm]

installer is running the same as before, nothing else is new abt it. so it prolly ain't updated right

[peak forge]

okay, we're back in business bois

[long brook]

So you downloaded the newest version (3.18.2), run the installer correct?

If yes try to make new log again by doing the same thing before

[distant charm]

okidoki

[steep heron]

is it okay to run Stardrop in its compressed folder?

[long brook]

Run on uncompressed folder

[distant charm]

smapi is still on the older version ayayai

[long brook]

You can extract it into game folder like i do. And run the exe there

[long brook]

Can you send the log link? And then screenshot the smaoi installer when it shows the game path?

[distant charm]

uhhh

[long brook]

I wanna make sure the path is the same

[distant charm]

whats the log link- srry u gotta talk to me like im 4

[steep heron]

Hooray!

[long brook]

The web link that opened in your browser

[steep heron]

got them all safe and sound

[distant charm]

OH

right right can i DM it to u

[long brook]

So you can make stardrop to use vortex foenload button marshi

Jest sent it here elf

[steep heron]

[distant charm]

[steep heron]

[long brook]

Downlaoad, i type on my phone my bad

Damn my big finger on small phone

[steep heron]

should i delete pytk?

or try to run and make a new Governor report thingy

[long brook]

If some mods you use still relies on pytk, you can keep it

[steep heron]

why do some files start with [CP] and [JA]

makes me weary of having them on my pc ngl

[long brook]

When you run smapi installer, is the path the same as this
Users/elf/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley/Contents/MacOS ?

[steep heron]

especially the first one

[distant charm]

..........i dont... think so

[long brook]

It's how smapi detect mod. That's the name of mod in manifest.json

[steep heron]

ahh oki i thought it was a language variant

i disabled all the JA ones because i thought it meant they were in Japanese

[long brook]

Check again, make sure it similar (or samr as idk how pathing works in mac)

[distant charm]

i dont think it is, but im not sure how to change it

[long brook]

[JA] means Json Asset marshi lol. They'll be loaded when you enable Json Asset mod

[long brook]

You need to type it (i don't think you can use copy+paste there)

[distant charm]

so

it doesn't

do that

it doesn't ask me for a game path

[steep heron]

i have all the right mods enabled in Stardrop but it doesn't seem to want to start..?

currently sitting at 100

something about Smapi not wanting to run

[long brook]

When you click the chicken icon at top right, what happen?

[steep heron]

it minimizes and then reopens

it showed me a message the first time i tried

[steep heron]

which was this

do i run Stardew through Steam first?

(Nexus Mods: Disconnected)

[long brook]

If steam already run on background, no need to run sdv/smapi through steam

[steep heron]

ah okay..

[long brook]

This is fine as you haven't connect stardrop to nexusmods yet

[steep heron]

oki

[long brook]

So does sdv launch?

[distant charm]

um

[peak forge]

ive exhausted myself from going through my mods

[steep heron]

nope

Smapi is confirmed up to date as well (as well as Stardrop)

[distant charm]

sorry- im confused, it doesn't ask me for a game path so im not sure what to do?

[long brook]

!gettingstarted and follow install on mac instruction

[native dragon]

@distant charm If you would like a guide to setting up mods for Stardew Valley, check out the getting started guide! https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide

[cedar lark]

i think you have to set up a certain launch option with Stardrop

[peak forge]

see idk how to launch smapi through steam so i just launch it straight from the local file

[long brook]

Any error popped up when you click chicken icon on stardrop?

[steep heron]

nope

just minimizes the application

then reopens it

and no change

[distant charm]

no yeah ive followed that before, ive done exactly what the instructions asked me but its still not updating

[steep heron]

im gonna give Stardew a run through steam and

[cedar lark]

https://youtu.be/61O59SFVuGw

[steep heron]

see if that helps Stardrop identify it

[cedar lark]

if you want a visual guide

er video

[long brook]

Oh yes mago make good video about it

[long brook]

I'm not too familiar on how mac works so please wait when someone that use mac help you

[steep heron]

i clicked unlock

[long brook]

That's how stardrop supposed to do when smapi is launched through stardrop

[steep heron]

wait umm
