[native dragon]

When asking for help with modding issues, please:

• Ask in #archived-modded-support
• Try to explain what the issue or problem is. Please be specific!
• If it's SMAPI installation related, please state whether you're using Windows/Mac/Linux and Steam/GOG/Gamepass.
• Provide a log if you have one (see https://smapi.io/log for instructions). Please provide a log even if there's no errors or warnings! If you are playing multiplayer, we will need a log from every player.
• Please remember no one's getting paid to answer your questions! It may take some time for someone to answer! If no one has answered in a few hours, feel free to ask again

[jade sonnet]

ooh thats good to know, thank you!

[jade sonnet]

do you know if either of them would be ok with me ating them?

[dire fractal]

It goes through the beginning cutscene normally but it wont let me start the day

[oak forum]

[jade sonnet]

other question real quick if you dont mind answering, if i wanted to ask if a mod was functional on linux/steamdeck, would i ask that in this channel or the modded farmers one, i dont wanna break any rules!

[jade sonnet]

ok well the first thing i would recommend is updating all of the mods it says you can update, cause even smapi is multiple versions out of date atm

@covert isle hey im so sorry to bother you, but im having an issue with your modupdater patch and was wondering if youd be willing to help me, theres no rush or anything, so please dont feel like you have to respond right away or anything!

[covert isle]

ill be honest I patched the mod from the github so it would load and I hoped It worked, but none of the mod I used have updated since my patch so I couldnt test much

[jade sonnet]

That's fair, would it be cool if I told you what was going on just In case you didn't k ow how to fix it anyways? Totally cool if you don't want me too though the last thing I'd want us to be a bother!

[covert isle]

sure tell me what your problem is and ill see if I can do anything

[jade sonnet]

Well, for some reason when I try to run the game the updated starts, checks 3 or 4 mods and then spits out a message about how the updater failed and everything just moves on and launches like normal

sorry the updater, not updated

[covert isle]

can I see a log where it fail?

[jade sonnet]

thats the weird thing, the parser isnt showing me any logs from modupdater at all when i try to filter to just those, it shows me one trace log from buslocations and ntthing else

let me send it anyways just in case though!

[covert isle]

screenshot then?

And here's the best screen shot I could get

[covert isle]

oh the code just use console.writeLine so nothing will show in log...

[jade sonnet]

Does the picture help at all? That's all the mod updater stuff that it spit out at all, the problem might be that I'm on steam deck, but I'm hoping that's not it and there's some other issue I can actually fix

intersting, i just launched the game again and mod updater seems to have not run at all this time

[covert isle]

im making a patch rn that should include sending the console output to log

[jade sonnet]

Okie dokie! Tha k you so much for the help!

[covert isle]

mod updater only check for update every 60 min by default so thats probably why it loaded without problem

[jade sonnet]

Ohhh ok

I guess I'll just wait and see if it works tomorrow or smthng then, or next time one of my mods updates atleast

Thanks for all the help, sorry again if I was a bother or anything!

[silver phoenix]

When will the lavender farm by daisy niko be fixed? The water bowls are stressing me out :((

The farm is so beautiful too...

[jade sonnet]

I think that might be more suited for #modded-stardew this channel is for support with mod issues!

[covert isle]

here's a build with proper logs this should work for next time it checks repos

[jade sonnet]

Oh awesome, thank you so much! I'll dow load and install that once I finish this day!

[covert isle]

now I go to bed lol

[jade sonnet]

Sleep good, sorry for keeping you up!

[stark horizon]

Mod Updates

Looking for a particular mod update? Ask in #modded-stardew if there are working alternatives.

If you know there aren't alternatives or that the mod doesn't work in 1.6, first check the comments on the mod page to see if the original author is working on an update. Then check the SMAPI mod compatibility page either check the comments on the mod page to see if an unofficial update is linked there. Finally, you can look on the unofficial update forums and ask there if someone would be willing to continue it!

Please remember to be kind and patient, do not harass the original mod author or any other mod authors into making an update for you.

[naive drum]

If updating SMAPI and those 30 out of date mods doesn't fix it the next step is making sure all your game files are OK:

!reset

[native dragon]

Please reset your game files. This will fix any broken game files, but won't affect your save files or mods.

If you use XNB mods, see using XNB mods for more info about why they're deprecated, and a list of Content Patcher alternatives.

To use this command, type !reset.

[dire fractal]

Thanks man! Everything seems to be running well.

[jade sonnet]

Awesome! Glad you got it working!

[proud cave]

Have you moved the location of your farmhouse?

[patent ridge]

you go inside Stardew Valley/Mods/MarketTown/[CP] MarketTown/[CP] Market Map/Asset folder and rename the file paths..tsx to Paths..tsx until I patch this in the next update

[spare sparrow]

Looking at this my only guess could be Lasting Conversation Topics crashing. If you could could you load the game up and go have a conversation, then send the log immediately after?

So i've just been looking at things that could effect dialogue and such and the two things I noticed were:

1. Lasting Conversation Topics crashing
2. HD Portraits seems to be loading a lot, like I think I saw 50 entries just for Robin and when I checked the mod itself it seems it isn't ready for 1.6 so that could potentially be the issue

[pine schooner]

ok let me remove those and see if it changes anything, thank you!

[spare sparrow]

Hopefully it does, I'm not sure what else could be causing issues.

[pine schooner]

should I redownload and install all other mods again?

[spare sparrow]

Uh it doesn't look like anything else is having issues so I wouldn't

[pine schooner]

ok great. Thank you for your help.

[crystal mason]

dunno if this is the right channel, dont bash me it it isnt, i put the mod in the mods folder, is this corect?

[spare sparrow]

This is the right channel, and it looks like it's correct

[crystal mason]

this is the first time ive delt with mods

[lean star]

they don't have hd portraits, they use portraiture, but they don't need PyTK for it

[crystal mason]

i usually play regular

[crystal mason]

ty for the help

it means so much

[spare sparrow]

mb, I saw this and only picked up the HDPortraits part

[lean star]

that's event lookup doing its thing btw

[spare sparrow]

why the hell is it loading up Robin so much? 😭

[crystal mason]

i put the mod in the mods folder, i pressed p and its not working 😭

[spare sparrow]

...you pressed P?

[crystal mason]

its the cheat mod

like with money stuff

[spare sparrow]

Oh that, are you opening your game with smapi?

[spare sparrow]

You may have installed the mods right but not opened the modding application if that makes sense. Is this your first time modding?

[crystal mason]

yea

its my first time applying mods

[spare sparrow]

Ah, you got smapi installed right?

[crystal mason]

mhm

[spare sparrow]

right uh, i think the command is

!launchoptions

[native dragon]

If you're using Steam or GOG on Windows, you will need to set your launch options in order for Steam/GOG to automatically launch with SMAPI. The SMAPI installer will tell you what to set as the launch options when it completes (green text). You can find instructions (with screenshots) on how to do that here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows#Configure_your_game_client

To use this command, type !launchoptions.

[spare sparrow]

follow that to open it with smapi via steam

[crystal mason]

i did that

[spare sparrow]

oh

[crystal mason]

i downloaded smampi

and installed it

oh wait

i think ik whats wrong

[spare sparrow]

and are using it to open the game?

[crystal mason]

um i did it via my desktop

i clicked this

[spare sparrow]

and you already changed your launch options?

[crystal mason]

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe"

is this what i need to paste?

[spare sparrow]

yup

[crystal mason]

including the command?

%command% i mean

[tawny lily]

yes

[crystal mason]

sorry im new to this

[tawny lily]

you are good

[crystal mason]

i only use mods as a last resort

and this will save?

[spare sparrow]

Mods are fun! they add to the experience of the game

Yup that's what you need

[crystal mason]

and i should be good, right?

[spare sparrow]

If you followed the instructions exactly yes it should work

[crystal mason]

IT WORKED

TYSM

: D

it said 3 mods

ermm

[spare sparrow]

That's normal it's fine

[crystal mason]

[magic viper]

hi, ive never needed to ask for help w mods b4 but am just completely stumped on how to fix this.. Im unable to enter my greenhouse for some reason? pretty sure the smapi warnings are harmless (they came after i removed a few mods that could have been interfering before, but nothing worked to fix it.) if im reading it correctly its saying its a game issue? im not an expert by any means so i may just be missing something really simple

sorry if i asked this in the wrong spot !

[crystal mason]

ok i have a question, if i wanted to add another mod, would i replace the thingy and the previous mod also be there?

[pine schooner]

the uh ...... thingy?

[spare sparrow]

[pine schooner]

when I had this error (the gametime error) it was somehow linked to Dynamic Night Time, but that I see you don't have that mod loaded.

I see there are alot of mods not loaded, can you fix that and see if it fixes the error?

[magic viper]

yeah! i’ll do that rn. originally i had everything loaded & it gave me a different error which is why i removed some, but i’ll readd them all & send the log again (unless it miraculously works!)

[magic viper]

interesting, it may just be a case of me having to go thru and somehow find the one that’s doing it lol

[crystal mason]

ok i have a question, if i wanted to add another mod, would i replace the thingy and the previous mod also be there?

@spare sparrow

or do i jsut not have to replace it?

Nope you do that once and you're good to go

Ok!

im gonna marry shane in my new save

ur right mods do make the game fun

[shy quest]

So gonna move that to this channel then

So i started a modded run and want to change the fence designe. I have a lot of mods in it like SVE or Riverlands or earthy recolour and lots more.
Somehow the fence designe wont change. its still looks like the base designe.
Wanted to try Cottagecore Fences now but still it wont change. There is no error in the log and also tried now in settings but it is endabled. i also disabled the SVE one but ye still doesnt work.
Do i just miss something in settings?

And what should i choose there

hi, it is my second time using smapi and i've never seen anything like this in my old laptop where i used to play stardew valley, i bought a new pc and tried sdv with mods again but it takes a long time to load in the game and when i try to load my old character, it stopped responding then crashed, i've seen some people encounter this problem but i've never found a solution, tried everything, i am only using the mods that smapi added as a test and now i am cornered right now on what to do

Hello , i can't find error logs subfolder, there are only 2 folder in my stardew valley folder - MODS & Smapi-internal

[final slate]

Could you check if Grandpa's farm affects fences and maybe remove No Fence Decay or look for something similar and more up to date

[shy quest]

gonna try it. dont even use grandpas farm so i jsut delet it

does not work

looks like something is overlapsing there @final slate

[hasty flume]

did you try deleting no fence decay?

bc that mod is striaght busted

[shy quest]

i deleted it

[hasty flume]

whats with that folder name? thats not standard for any sdv file folder on any system ive ever seen

[gleaming phoenix]

what do you mean by that

[hasty flume]

this bit

[gleaming phoenix]

it just happened to be here i have no clue either

[hasty flume]

what platform did you buy the game on?

[visual jetty]

Judging from that file path, I’d say the answer is "none".

[hasty flume]

thats what i wondered

[shy quest]

Any other solution for my problem?

[dire fractal]

My game doesnt want to launch when using stardrop to launch it

it just appears a long error message and then closes

this is error message

[compact verge]

Did you move the Luck Skill mod's folder? Try Tools > Refresh Mod List in Stardrop, then deactivating Luck Skill and activating it again.

[dire fractal]

?

What do you mean with did I move it?

I didn't move anything

[compact verge]

That error usually happens when Stardrop thinks a mod exists, but it actually doesn't, either because the user deleted it or moved it. That's why I asked if you moved Luck Skill mod because your Stardrop couldn't find it.

So try refreshing your mod list to make Stardrop actually check if the mods are there.

[dire fractal]

I checked the mod folder and it is there but there's 5 folders in the folder before the actual mod

[compact verge]

Have you tried what I suggested?

[dire fractal]

No windows was mad at me for not updating I will try after I updated

[teal anvil]

is marine farm compatible with sve?

[dire fractal]

I did and it was there

[compact verge]

And you have deactivated then activated the Luck Skill in Stardrop?

[dire fractal]

Yeah I'm trying to reinstall it now

Because that didn't work

It doesn't launch even without luck skill enabled idk why

[compact verge]

Does it still give the same error message?

[dire fractal]

Similar error I think

[compact verge]

Try launching without Stardrop (through StardewModdingAPI.exe) to see if all the mods work properly.

[dire fractal]

I can launch without stardrop

[compact verge]

Is the latest error message still about Luck Skill?

[dire fractal]

No it says something about local multi-player or something

[compact verge]

Then please provide the SMAPI log.

[green wadi]

@pliant swallow is the stardew save predictor broken now? i gathered a bunch of geodes, put the save game file into it, and the results from geodes were completely different in game than in the predictor. the trash cans weren't much accurate even before but geodes did work flawlessly... did the patch 1.6 change so much? i even the way cat (farm animal) is coded did slightly change, but i never would have guessed the changes were that deep and wide.

[gaunt gust]

If you have mods that affect the geode drops ofc predictor can't expect that

That includes very common mods like sve

[green wadi]

i use the same gameseed i've been throughout the years, made a "perfect start", as perfect as it can get, for day 1, and i like to use this save, never had this before

[compact verge]

That looks like it's from Elle's Seasonal Building. What fence are you trying to use?

[green wadi]

crap, sve breaks so many things, i'm really beginning to dislike it. east scarp does not cause such issues.

thank you for the explanation, i did install sve this time. it didn't disclose that it breaks all the patterns everywhere. i thought it just adds places on the map, npcs and a few additional things, basically what's in the description. they didn't write that this mod overwrites and alters the game itself.

[gaunt gust]

Well, at the level of RNG prediction that is kinda the same thing tbh

[green wadi]

i think i understand - because of the added items, yes?

on nexus mod page, under old files. you want version 5.8.1 https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9969?tab=files

Try disabling all fence recolor in Elle's Seasonal Bulding config.

It seems that mod is incompatible with RRRR and was meant to be used with Looking for Love Redux instead. But it could also be because you have an update for RRRR

So ah ... How do I make BFAV mods into CP mods for 1.6? I lost the tutorial I was sent and I have time now to do so ... (66 mods aaaa)

[night bough]

Might not sort the whole issue but it seems like you are either missing or have incorrectly installed lumisteria’s outdoor tilesheets. Please refer to legacy farm mod page for instructions on how to do so. This is the tilesheets page https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/10448

[hoary musk]

Oh crap... I somehow missed those dependencies, I did read but it slipped my mind. Thank you!

[night bough]

No worries. Again it might not solve the custom_junimo issue, just the first error.

[shy quest]

it worked thanks! Didnt know that seasonal buildings also have fence recolour

[night bough]

#making-mods-general would be the best place to ask

[hoary musk]

That fixed it!

[night bough]

Make sure you’ve got all the dependencies because i’m not sure i saw lumisteria’s indoor tilesheets either. (extra map layers is obsolete however)

[vagrant geyser]

I tried it, but It doesn't work.

[wraith lance]

is this mod still available? https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4736?tab=files

[scarlet quail]

I mean

you just linked to a publicly available page and there's files in the files tab

all 3 are updated stardrops bein dum

[scarlet quail]

I can see you have the Seasonal Cutes active

You need to disable SlightlyCuterWizard, as well as SlightlyCuterMagnus if you have SCA-SVE or Seasonal Outfits-SVE

Appearance will win over the baseline edits to the sprite

[patent badge]

i also have the talko portraits that its meant to be using, works for the other npcs

[scarlet quail]

that should have no relation to the solution I presented?

Besides, I don't know what set of NPCs you mean

(talko does not cover every expansion)

[patent badge]

yeah i just thought id mention it while i found the configs, because it should be using the talko portrait for the wizard and the other npcs i spoke to, vanilla and sve, both used the talko portraits

[scarlet quail]

if they used it before the updates, that's irrelevant

[radiant valve]

do u have RR portraits set to like uh, custom

[scarlet quail]

Bea, I'm telling you it's the Seasonal Cute stuff because not only did I program the Seasonal Cute update, I know what people are posting on the pages re: Wizard

I know why this is happening (because it's using the appearance system) and I stated the solution

But if I need to explain further: Seasonal Cute used to edit the baseline sprites/portraits. With 6.0, it now uses the appearance system, so it no longer edits the base portraits/sprites and instead tells the game to use a custom outfit (since they have SCA-SVE, the priority system will have it use Magnus_Fall since he's purple). To stop the edits - especially for stuff like Rasmodia - you disable them in the config.

[patent badge]

im not saying your fix wont work, im saying theres a seperate issue

[scarlet quail]

Which is?

[patent badge]

it did work, but its still not using the talko portraits

[scarlet quail]

Okay. Which mod - and link it here - is supposed to give the talko Rasmodia portrait, though?

actually, wait. duh.

Dissi, you're on 1.6, yes?

[patent badge]

yeah

[scarlet quail]

HD Portraits ain't compatible

[patent badge]

im using portraiture

• Install mods directly (which is easy and safe in Stardew Valley!).
• Or use Stardrop, a mod manager specifically designed for Stardew Valley.
• Or get help with Vortex in the Nexus Discord or Vortex support forums.

To use this command, type !vortex.

[patent badge]

bruh

[radiant valve]

if the mods are loaded in ur manager then they aren't Portraiture, btw

[scarlet quail]

yeah, it does seem like Bea's right from what I can tell

(Also, I do not use Stardrop and it looked very much like Vortex from the very small screencap.)

[radiant valve]

oh yeah i confused stadrop for vortex once too

[scarlet quail]

Oh, don't tell me... this would be extremely funny on a personal level (not laughing at you, Dissi, just it would be extremely funny) if Nomori...

Damn, never mind

[patent badge]

ive had problems with the rasmodia portraits before, my solution is just overwrite the magnus portraits from the sve mod with the rasmodia portraits that i wanted

[scarlet quail]

It would have been really funny if Nomori had actually put the Rasmodia stuff as appearance data

[patent badge]

like just change the files, its still set like that but its just not working

[scarlet quail]

From which SVE mod?

[patent badge]

this one
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/11523
it also works for the sve characters

[scarlet quail]

so here's the problem with that

That mod - and the one that isn't literally talko - does not have a Portraiture Version

[patent badge]

well iit works

[scarlet quail]

Well, by all accounts, it shouldn't

And tbh I can't help with what would be an impossibility, code-wise

[patent badge]

hows portraiture meant to work

[radiant valve]

you put images in files

portraiture doesn't actually have framework specific code at all, it's just images

[patent badge]

i asume in the portrature, portraits folder?

[lean star]

but isn't that an HD Portraits mod? they do work with Portraiture

[scarlet quail]

https://tenor.com/view/dalek-explain-doctor-who-gif-5490200

[modest grail]

From Portraiture's page, if this helps to provide context:
"Important regarding HDP support (SDV 1.5.6 & 1.6 alpha):
If you download an want to use a HDP content pack with this, put it into the regular mod folder, NOT the Portraits folder.
If the manifest.json file of that pack has hdp in it's dependencies, but you do not have hdp installed, remove the dependency and select HDP when picking a portraits-set in game, to have it show up as intended. (This will still work with HDP installed, it does not require the dependency to be set)
If you leave or add the HDP dependency to an HDP pack and allow sideloading in Portraitures config.json, Portraiture will attempt to load them and give them there own set, while otherwise HDP contentpacks combine into the HDP set and can't be seperately selected. This only works if the pack has the file-structure that Portraiture requires, which is often the case. Despite that, it is recommended to use the non-sideloaded approach to ensure the portraits work properly."

[lean star]

there's a section dedicated in Portraitures description on how to make HD Portraits mods load

[modest grail]

It is supported if you follow directions exactly and the file structure matches

[radiant valve]

well, that's convenient

[scarlet quail]

That... I did not know. And is also quite odd, given technically those two mods do the same thing, so I wouldn't expect compat

[radiant valve]

that'll explain why some HDP mods work and others don't i guess

[scarlet quail]

Useful for troubleshooting, too!

[patent badge]

did case sensativity change recently? if not idk whats wrong

[radiant valve]

so this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/15235
which im using ur using for rasmodia would work if the path was assets/Portraits/ instead of just assets/
funky

[scarlet quail]

Do you have file extensions set to visible?

[patent badge]

yes.

[lean star]

(you were thinking of .png.png too I see)

[scarlet quail]

I mean, I'm still thinking .png.png until I see them with a screenshot of view and file name extensions checked tbh

[patent badge]

windows is forcibly capitalising it so if it is case sensativity i cant fix it

[patent badge]

:/

[lean star]

case sensitivity is not known on windows afaik

[modest grail]

Case sensitivity shouldn't matter here unless something's odd on Portraiture's end.

[scarlet quail]

I mean the bad news there dissi is that since it IS checked something else is off, and that's much harder to diagnose

Thank you for the screencap though

(Also personally speaking always having that checked drives me crazy XD )

[patent badge]

the fall one listened to me, so if that was the problem it should work now

[radiant valve]

there's a lot of bugs on the portaire page

some of them are bound to be silly and/or repeats but uh yeah

Does changing it to Magnus_Fall cause the same error? btw u can do it on windows, u just need to refersh after

[lean star]

so portraiture is case sensitive after all

[patent badge]

ok looks like it is case sensative

[radiant valve]

yeah it's very sensitive it seems

[modest grail]

Good to know

[scarlet quail]

.... welp. That... is going to cause a lot of users to come here, isn't it

[patent badge]

it doesnt actually edit the file name unless you refresh the window... whats wrong with windows

[lean star]

sure is

[radiant valve]

it does but it doesn't show you

it's a very windows typical thing y'know

[patent badge]

thats even worse

[radiant valve]

honestly portaire making itself compatible with HD portraits might cause more errors than if they, didn't

[patent badge]

the only issue here is its case sensative now and wasnt a couple months ago

[scarlet quail]

Sadly, I'm sure people were arfing up a storm for compat since HD Portraits isn't updated yet

[lean star]

it gets worse for festival outfits, they don't work at all

[scarlet quail]

it's probably the same with the DCBurger portraits from hell

[radiant valve]

people always be arfing

[scarlet quail]

https://tenor.com/view/veeunus-spongebob-spongebob-squarepants-squidward-done-gif-24674884

[modest grail]

Lots of reports that Portraiture just tells them it's incompatible since the latest Stardew update, too. xD

[scarlet quail]

At this point if we get too many more portraiture people coming in here I'm gonna request a command

[radiant valve]

u can make one urself, no need to request btw

[lean star]

how to?

[scarlet quail]

I know, but laziness is my specialty. Also I'm trying to figure out content updates for a couple of my mods too

[radiant valve]

there's a command u can use it's uhh

[scarlet quail]

you level 100 Semisu?

[radiant valve]

it's a lvl 100 thing?

[scarlet quail]

yep

[radiant valve]

inchresting, command is /define btw

[scarlet quail]

yep

[lean star]

just became shepherd which is 50? I think

from guiding all these little lambs

[radiant valve]

shepherd is 100

u just made it into command making status!

[scarlet quail]

Shepherd's 100

Level 100 (Shepherd role):
Access to the /define command to create custom bot commands. (Please respect command etiquette: keep commands useful and on-topic, avoid meme commands in most cases, and don't change commands added by other users without discussing the change first.)

So if you're willing Semisu go ahead and make one

[patent badge]

got more issues btw, grandpas tools isnt texturing the prismatic tools and the prismatic pickaxe just isnt showing up on the ui info suite 2 thing

[lean star]

ooh, @oak forum ain't save no more XD

[radiant valve]

ok so i've been over this in #making-mods-general but the only way to change prismatic tools is to replace the files

they aren't loaded via CP, and can't be changed using CP

find this in grandpa's tools and follow the intructions

[patent badge]

i mean prismatic tools continued btw, not the origional, it worked before but ill still go do that

[radiant valve]

it worked before prolly cause u replaced the files

continued and original use the same source code

[patent badge]

the only file shenanigans ive done was for the seasonal rasmodia portraits

ive done that now tho, reloading to see if that fixed it

tools are retextured but its still invisible in ui info suite

[radiant valve]

were they invisible before?

[patent badge]

before what? replacing the textures? no

i mean yes

sorry my brains dumb

its been invisible since i updated all the mods

[radiant valve]

then best report to the mod author

i am unsure if that's a specific prismatic tools or ui info suite issue tho

[patent badge]

ill go make a new save and upgrade another item and see if its still invisible to check

[wraith lance]

can anyone tell me if there is any problem?
https://smapi.io/log/e21ec0f2a20f40ad841fb85f111a6966

Log Info: SMAPI 4.0.8 with SDV 1.6.8 build 24119 on Microsoft Windows 10 Home, with 38 C# mods and 39 content packs.

[radiant valve]

json assets seems to be having a meltdown

[wraith lance]

and what should i do

[radiant valve]

i'd suggest to remove JA and the mod using it

there are other cask mods that work with 1.6

[lean star]

oh I've seen this before

the file path is incorrect

[radiant valve]

is it fixable?

[lean star]

the file's there just not in Copper Cask, they have to create that folder and put the file there

[oak forum]

Huh?

[wraith lance]

so.. what should i do?

is it working or not?

[radiant valve]

See what Semisu said

afaik JA does work with 1.6

[lean star]

@oak forum

[oak forum]

Oh no 😆😆😆😆

[lean star]

actually I'll instead recommend what I recommended to the last guy who had an issue with it, use the CP conversion
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/22477

[wraith lance]

what does cp mean btw?

[lean star]

content patcher

[wraith lance]

oh okay

[patent badge]

so theres a bunch of problems that im just seeing, like there being 12 claires and martiins, way back PT using layers that dont exist, and warps not being registered, are any of them actually problems and if so how do i fix them?

[native dragon]

Log found, uploaded to: https://smapi.io/log/cb3ed8f81c9041f2ae364ac51ef85aba

[patent badge]

oh right

[lean star]

wasn't starwarsdew the clone wars eradicated in 1.6.4?

[patent badge]

apparently not XD

looks to be 7 of each lol

[lean star]

debug killnpc Martin```

you'll also have to remove one of these
Two content packs want to load the 'Maps/FarmCave' asset with the 'Exclusive' priority (Hot Spring Farmcave and Lnh's Fantasy Farm Cave).

[patent badge]

i know i just havnt bothered to yet because theres other issues lol

[lean star]

Way Back PT's fence warning is a common issue that just floods your log with warnings (targeting a map layer that doesn't exist in SVE)
there's a content edit on the mod page in the stickies

that one actual nullreference error might be cause by June from RSV

[cosmic quarry]

and if you check their nexus comments, they actually have a guide as to how to stop that from happening, but i dont think they actually added it to the update. so if it bothers you, and you are comfortable code diving. then you can stop it from happening.

[lean star]

that's what I said, yes

[patent badge]

if its safe to ignore then ill just be ignoring it lol

[lean star]

warnings = ignore (mostly), error = you doomed

[cosmic quarry]

oops, sorry, didnt see it, lol

[thorn maple]

Hi everyone! I'm trying to mod on Linux for the first time and my Content Patcher mods seem to be crashing either on startup or when trying to start a new save/load an old one. CP itself seems to work fine as if I just have that installed the game doesn't crash. I know I'll probably need my smapi log, but I can't seem to find it in my files? The guide says to go to 'Enter Location' but I can't find that option anywhere in my files ;; I really appreciate any help!

[cosmic quarry]

content patcher is crashing. do you mean like, its just going unresponsive? cause oftentimes when you are running the game through smapi. it does just... occasionally become unresponsive, then wait a few minutes and it works. sometimes it just needs time, so... before you go to the effort of getting a log ready, have you tried giving it like... 5 minutes to work itself out?

[thorn maple]

No, the game + smapi will open for a moment then immediately close. Some CP mods will let the game load, but then it crashes when I try to load or start a new save

[cosmic quarry]

!log

[native dragon]

Please share your SMAPI log file. To do so:

1. Open this page: smapi.io/log.
2. Follow the instructions at the top of the page to upload the log file. (Don't copy & paste from the console window!)
3. After uploading, it will show a green box with a URL to share. Post that URL here.

Please do it even if you don't see any errors. This has useful info like what mods and versions you have, what the mods are doing, etc.

To use this command, type !log.

[oak forum]

It was so if it's still happening we should probably have this but reported on the sve discord

[cosmic quarry]

ok, so you dont know how to get the log then, is that what you mean by the file location?

[oak forum]

How to linux log video is pinned now!

Just an FYI ^_^

We have a video for windows and steamdeck(linux) now

[gaunt gust]

That was a specific bug involving the theater

[cosmic quarry]

oh, that would do it. ok go check pins. and it should be 2nd pined comment

[oak forum]

Yea so my thought is if they are getting 12 claires and Martin's something else has to have happened now, right?

And probably bring to sve attention?

[lean star]

I thought the theatre was the one causing them, didn't know they evolved

[thorn maple]

It says "No results Found" Edit to clarify: I followed the video and my files didn't come back with any error logs

[lean star]

(I see, there are more cases of cloning those two)

[cosmic quarry]

in the pinned comments?

[lean star]

please report claire and martin to the SVE discord, if these duplications happened recently

[thorn maple]

Sorry, I meant in my files

[lean star]

steam deck is linux

(how dare you pupper, now it looks like I just spew facts at random )

[oak forum]

I think they are saying they followed the linux guide but there is no error log to upload

[patent badge]

i think they were just left over from last time i played, if they come back i will tho

[cosmic quarry]

oh... ok, so i just want to run through the checklist, just to head off any potential problems before they pop up. you didnt use vortex right? and similarly, is there a specific reason that you can think of that the files would be abywhere weird? like using a external drive, usb or something?

[thorn maple]

No, I've just been manually installing them. I just got this computer so as far as I know they shouldn't be anywhere weird

[lean star]

vortex is windows only

[night bough]

(have they run the game with smapi yet?)

[thorn maple]

Yes and other mods such as cheat menu, chests anywhere, etc work

[oak forum]

Okay can you clarify on what isn't working then?

Your one message said cp mods load, but then your other said you crash?

Can you be very very specific on what is not working

[cosmic quarry]

ok, then since its cp that seems to be crashing, and you cannot get the log cause its not where it is supposed to be, then i have 2 suggestions off the top of my head. one is to reinstall smapi, and 2 is to manually check for the log file, if your comfortable looking through your files. the primary problem is we don't have logs, so its not exactly clear what's going on with your smapi issue

[oak forum]

These are also very good suggestions Santablitzle ^

I am confused by some of their messages saying mods have loaded and worked though

[thorn maple]

Okay so Content Patcher works by itself. Certain mods that rely on CP don't, such as Farm Animal Facelift, Elle's Cuter Barn Animals, and Haley Event Expansion

[lean star]

I think their issue with CP is that CP itself works fine, some CP mods work until they progress from the main menu, no CP mods work after that

[gaunt gust]

And they are on Linux with no log

The fiest thing to verify is that they have latest smapi and game

[oak forum]

Ah and C# mods work fine?

[cosmic quarry]

im also a little confused by their problem, but i figure, the first step is to see if we can get logs, if we can, then we can see the problem for ourselves... but if we cant then anything i could suggest is guesswork. that said youve been doing this longer then i, so you probably have better ideas then i in this reguard/

[thorn maple]

Yes I made sure both are up to date

[oak forum]

No no your suggestions were valid which is why I led with that!

I simply wanted to make sure I understood the problem first

So that I could help if you needed it!

[lean star]

these we know work, riot

[oak forum]

Okay starting to piece together

[cosmic quarry]

oh wait, actually, you said it just closes itself. do you get through the smapi loading? like. to the point that youd be able to see if content patcher needs updated? that one, space core, and a handfull of others are deeply invasive to the game, so if they are significantly outdated, some serious problems could arise

[cosmic quarry]

thanks! i do appriciate it!

[oak forum]

Santablitzle could you get the actual version numbers for us so that we can verify?

From your files themselves. Like check your smapi zip you downloaded and tell us what it says?

[thorn maple]

Okay Smapi is version 4.0.8

[oak forum]

Good!

[thorn maple]

Lemme test again one sec

[oak forum]

Can you record it?

So we can see whats happening?

[cosmic quarry]

it would definitly help!

[night bough]

(CTRL + ALT + SHFT + R afaik)

[thorn maple]

Thank you omg

Okay here's an example of one that causes the game to crash upon starting a new save (it does the same upon loading an old one)

All the mods on that list except for Facelift (and possibly UI Info idk) work

[cosmic quarry]

... hmm. yup, that uhh, looks like a problem for riot... i havent seen that before. gluck!

[night bough]

Could you do me a favor and try again but this time instead of clicking New and starting a new save, alt tab out of Stardew at the title screen and export your smapi console as a txt file and put it in here?

[oak forum]

I'd also like you do drag the game window off the smapi windows when you record because it kicked an error out in that log but the game window blocked it

[lean star]

(there's surely a way to start SMAPI in the console, similar to running it in powershell to avoid it closing the console when it crashes?)

[thorn maple]

I'm sorry, how do I export it as a txt file? ;;

[night bough]

Ignore me, follow riot's suggestion

[oak forum]

I don't know how =/

But it kicks something out when they hit ok

I wanna see it

I zoomed in and saw the bottom line of the log change when they hit okay

[sudden drift]

Hey all! So....I'm a little confused as to what I did wrong with the Way Back Pelican Town mod from Gweniaczek. I thought I followed the directions in her sticky post but I got this:

It clusters up the channel

[sudden drift]

Yes I can! 🙂

[lean star]

got this

[lean star]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/7332?tab=posts
click on the spoiler in the first sticky and follow the instructions, or ignore the warning

then upload the edited content.json to https://smapi.io/json

if you've done it wrong we'll be able to tell you where

[night bough]

exec ./StardewModdingAPI``` on mac but i dunno on linux

[sudden drift]

Okay! Wish me luck!

[lean star]

something about unknown elements in the font config

[night bough]

(Aww i was just cropping it, darn)

Bitmap error? #archived-modded-support message

oh no thats just the name of the font config?

[oak forum]

Sooo I think we have reached this poinr

@pallid summit @plush topaz when either of you have a chance could we get.some linux help

We cant get a log but managed a screenshot. It seems mad about font????

Beggining of log also starts with these and I'm unsure if that's important

[thorn maple]

Hey, this is Blitz's wife. Just got back from work, apparently I get to deal with this now lol

[oak forum]

We will have to wait for one of our linux specialists

To be available *

[thorn maple]

Yeah, the errors up front seem a bit odd to me. I'm gonna futs around and see if maybe the mods themselves are maybe at fault. Got the game to run with just content patcher, so that might be good?

[pearl sentinel]

to install expanded i need the space core first right?

[night bough]

Run, how? Does it load into a save?

[oak forum]

Is it in the requirements on nexus?

[pearl sentinel]

No, but everyone say it's need

[oak forum]

You only need what the mod says is required

[pearl sentinel]

hm

[thorn maple]

yep. Also, the errors at the start of log point to the Steam Overlay. Could be a fucked Steam install or bad set up. Which weould be my fault :x

[oak forum]

I can't speak for either as I'm unfamiliar with linux. If you wanna try deleting steam and re-downloading you certainly can

[inland oyster]

(afaik it is in the required list)

[oak forum]

But at this point we will need to wait for selph or ichor

[oak forum]

Just checked it's not

[inland oyster]

oh really?

[oak forum]

Also users gotta learn to look themselves

[lean star]

really

[sudden drift]

Here is my json file https://smapi.io/json/none/a7927f35cf1d4f66bda612f601d0b0a3

[oak forum]

But they need to learn to check requirements themselves so I always ask if it is before checking

To creb ^ not semisu 😆😆

[lean star]

honestly, I have spacecore just because I had it prior to 1.6, I don't even know if any of my mods need it

[oak forum]

I did check but that's why I let potaty go because they're right, it isn't in there

[inland oyster]

maybe its not needed anymore?

what happened to my message?

It's when you just download the new one and your pc will say "do you want to overwrite these files"

And then it replaces what's in the folder

AH okay okay. Cool thank you

It's a bad way of updating and it leaves old files hanging out in your pc ^_^

it's not warning about the layers but about undefined positions because your positions are empty

what's filles i need to use the stardew valley expanded?

[oak forum]

@pearl sentinel did you buy stardew

[pearl sentinel]

yes

Hi! Im having an issue with accessing my greenhouse. I’ve tried removing a few mods (that’s why there’s the dusty error about farmhouse fixes) and it’s not the map mod or the building mod.

what's filles i need to download the expanded?

[oak forum]

So you need to install from Nexus what is in the required mods first

[pearl sentinel]

ok

i have smapi and the content patcher

[lean star]

do you have farm type manager?

[oak forum]

Once that's down you'll go to files and install the one for PC

[pearl sentinel]

and how i wanna the immersive farm i already have the space core too

[pearl sentinel]

yes

[oak forum]

This top one here ^

[sudden drift]

Okay, I deleted the empty brackets. Do I need to do anything else?

[pearl sentinel]

can you send the link?

[oak forum]

For immersice grab this

[oak forum]

Go to expanded on nexus

[lean star]

(are you not logged in? adds)

ok

Looks like the crash is somehow linked to siamece's Farm Animal Facelift.

hello! i want to download a mod, however im super confused and if you available, a step by step guide with visuals would be appricated. i tried to download SMAPi but when it gave me the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command% link it didnt work.

[oak forum]

!gs

[native dragon]

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

To use this command, type !gs.

[oak forum]

There is a guide!

[pearl sentinel]

ok

[warm pelican]

ill try it, thank you!

[pearl sentinel]

i found it

[oak forum]

[lean star]

you shouldn't, did you try it?

[warm pelican]

okay so update, ive been on that website before and i still get super confused. i belive i already downloaded SMAPI, and as i said before the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command% link wont work. do you know anything about or how to fix this?

[pearl sentinel]

i need the grandpa farm too?

[oak forum]

No

[pearl sentinel]

ok

[oak forum]

You can't use both grandpa AND immersive so you pick ONE

[oak forum]

Where are you putting this?

[sudden drift]

Trying it now!

[oak forum]

This command link?

[warm pelican]

in a search bar? sorry if i sound stupid

[pearl sentinel]

Ok

[oak forum]

What search bar?

Okay Omega scratch that

Walk me through what steps you have taken so far to install smapi

[warm pelican]

okay so i went to the SMAPI website thing, downloaded that, and then i extracted the files and opened the windows tab for it, and then i pressed 1 for both the questions and then i was met with the link ,so i copied it and pasted it into like the place where you our Urls and nothing came of it

i tried to search for the StardewModding.exe thing but i cant find anything

on my computer

[lean star]

did you read what the green text said?

[warm pelican]

SMAPI is installed! If you use Steam, set your launch options to enable achievements (see smapi.io/install):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

If you don't use Steam, launch StardewModdingAPI.exe in your game folder to play with mods.

thats what it says

[oak forum]

Do you use steam?

[warm pelican]

yea thats where i downloaded stardew from

[oak forum]

Okay so it doesn't go into url

You need to go to steam

[lean star]

this command is to set your launch options

[oak forum]

So we can set the launch options

[warm pelican]

okay i have steam open rn

[oak forum]

So open steam, right click stsrdew and I think its like settings or something

It's in the guide

[night bough]

properties

[oak forum]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows#Steam

[night bough]

Click this @warm pelican where it says properties

[warm pelican]

arlight

i did that

[night bough]

Then paste "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command% into launch options like this

[night bough]

The whole thing with quotation marks and everything

[warm pelican]

okay, does it like save? i pasted it

[night bough]

Yep just close that window

[warm pelican]

okay

so now what

[night bough]

launch stardew

it should work now

[warm pelican]

alrighty, do i just download a mod now and will it like automaticaly apply to the game?

[night bough]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started#Install_mods Please try reading the guide first

Then if you get stuck we'd be happy to help

And if you're wondering where to download mods, scroll up past the game folder section in that link^

Nexus is preferred

[warm pelican]

im so very sorry but i cannot understand a word that the site is trying to tell me, like, where would one find the game folder, and how do i open it and such? im quite a dummy when it comes to tech stuff like this

[deep ravine]

watching youtube videos and following them step-by-step should help so u can see everything in real time

[warm pelican]

okay, thank you

[deep ravine]

the guides are p confusing for non tech savvy people like me too

[cosmic quarry]

mmm, i got a spare half hour. want me to dm you and i can run you through the whole process? that way we can keep the chat cleared so it doesnt clog things up here,

[night bough]

I would not recommend youtube guides

[lean star]

where you put the launch options, [redacted] the tab is called Installed Files and the button at the top of that window is called Browse...

[deep ravine]

youtube guides helped me, lol

[sudden drift]

Hmm.....now I'm getting this error: https://smapi.io/log/2b17629b04ba4ba2b2c879dd53b6c69d

[warm pelican]

yea that works!

[lean star]

send the file through the validator, you have likely erased a comma or left one in

[sudden drift]

Okay! What's the validator?

Nvm just found it

[lean star]

this

[night bough]

Sadly we can't recommend them generally in here, same as reddit or forums, because they are so often out of date. Some are good for sure, but the wiki is known to be correct. We are working on sourcing more video tutorials for accessibility, however.

[deep ravine]

the suggestion for watching videos was made out of their comment saying they had a hard time understanding what the wiki guides were saying

[wind nexus]

Question. is it possible to download a nexusmods collection to a zipfolder instead of through vortex? Vortex has been annoying me a bit in its execution of the different profiles.

[lean star]

you can download each of them individually from their respective mod page

[wind nexus]

i was afraid that might be the solution. time to download 85 seperate mods.. xD thank you Semisu

[thorn maple]

I know we're waiting for linux experts but I got a new screenshot if it helps any. This came from Generic Mod Config Menu

[wind nexus]

yup i got it from here. ty babes

[night bough]

I understand. My apologies for contradicting you, please understand that it becomes difficult when people leave, get possibly unreliable information, then come back and have to start over. But I agree with you that the wiki could be best supplemented with video tutorials. I'm thinking about a server suggestion for it. Feel free to @ me with links to good ones you know in #town-square so I can see about them being used more.

[deep ravine]

i dont rlly care to engage in this convo

[night bough]

My apologies, then.

[cosmic quarry]

i feel like that is a bad place to leave the atmosphere of the channel at, so uhh, if anyone else has any problems, we are still here to help, even if its just for figuring out what mods you gotta update!

[oak forum]

We also don't recommend video guides because they are terribly outdated A LOT but you can always come here with questions and we can help

[wooden pasture]

Hi! Im having an issue with accessing my greenhouse. I’ve tried removing about a dozen mods and it’s not the map mod or the building mod. All mods are updated as far as I can tell (manifests not updated I assume?) except for Better Chests, which I’m keeping downgraded on purpose as the current version doesn’t play well with controllers. And apparently Automate, which must have updated in the last twenty minutes. https://smapi.io/log/1cfda63b8c8d453fbd9e4cee070ddcb5

[wooden pasture]

So far it’s not solid foundations, farmhouse fixes, happy home designer, furniture framework, way back pelican town, the buildings, or Lnh’s MiNi Farm

[oak forum]

It does appear to be very angry about farmhouse fixes

What is the issue with the greenhouse though?

[wooden pasture]

I literally can’t get in. I stand at the door and it makes a fun weird sound like a million doors trying to open and close.

[wooden pasture]

That was my first try! Apparently not the issue, unless removing it isn’t the solution.

[oak forum]

Okay drop farmhouse fixes and try again, if it doesn't work bring me a new log without farmhouse fixes showing you attempting to enter greenhouse

[wooden pasture]

Will do!

[oak forum]

Drop seasonal cute greenhouse as well

[wooden pasture]

I can do that, although seasonal cute greenhouse was my backup option when I thought Deloitte’s Greenhouse was the problem.

[oak forum]

Yea drop all custom greenhouses

I want to see if this happens with a vanilla greenhouse

[wooden pasture]

Dropping farmhouse fixes and custom greenhouse didn’t fix it, sadly. https://smapi.io/log/7db7796e20fb4b1298a859a7bbcd3e5b

(you're not searching for that right now but I just saw in your log that AT can't find some textures - the fix for that is to change any png file in an AT folder that uses upper case to lower case (from Texture to texture), it's a Linux thing, my friend even made me a script for that because it happens so often 😅)

[wooden pasture]

That’s so weird, thanks for the head’s up!

[mighty kindle]

My game just crashed when I tried to swap clothes, could a mod have caused that? Here's my log https://smapi.io/log/7fb036551e464d17a23465fe9ae28f32

Speaking of Linux issues, can anyone help me find my error logs? It's not on an external drive or anything..

[viral sky]

the error logs are able to be found through smapi logs
I am pretty sure..

[wooden pasture]

You might be looking in the wrong place? Try home instead of desktop

[viral sky]

!log

[native dragon]

Please share your SMAPI log file. To do so:

1. Open this page: smapi.io/log.
2. Follow the instructions at the top of the page to upload the log file. (Don't copy & paste from the console window!)
3. After uploading, it will show a green box with a URL to share. Post that URL here.

Please do it even if you don't see any errors. This has useful info like what mods and versions you have, what the mods are doing, etc.

To use this command, type !log.

[viral sky]

although dont count on me I havent been active in a hot minute

[sly elm]

you are right, there's instructions for Linux on there as well

[thorn maple]

Same message when I look in home sadly

[oak forum]

okay I'm just checking some things

sorry for the pause I had to switch to desktop for this

[sly elm]

you shouldn't use search, you should just slap it in the address bar

[wooden pasture]

Thanks so much for checking, this seems to be a particularly weird issue

[oak forum]

can you get rid of LNH more custom farms?

[wooden pasture]

Yeah I don’t need it!

[sly elm]

actually I think the instructions on smapi.io for getting a log on Linux are kind of misleading, on steamOS for example they're just confusing

might have to change the wording a bit

[wooden pasture]

And god forbid you install on an sd card

[sly elm]

that should still work for the log as that gets stored on the deck directly

but finding the game folder sure can be harder that way

[thorn maple]

I tried the address bar too and it comes back with the same message :<

[sly elm]

that is unfortunate hmm

[oak forum]

can we try getting rid of furniture framework?

[wooden pasture]

I can do that too after this test!

[thorn maple]

Just for posterity

[sly elm]

just to make sure, you've ran smapi before on that system? iirc the folder gets generated once smapi runs once

[thorn maple]

yes

[oak forum]

It also looks like you might be searching still

can you go to smapi.io
click the Choose file button
paste the link in there

[wooden pasture]

Wasn’t lnh’s custom farms, so trying that now

[oak forum]

My theory is its furniture framework or AT

[thorn maple]

Had to manually navigate to the file. Can't get there through the file explorer. No crashlogs there tho

[oak forum]

and you've definetly succesfully loaded the game with smapi before?

because something should be tehre

even if its an old log from when you were succesful

[thorn maple]

Yes we were testing earlier. Mods like Cheat Menu and Chests Anywhere work fine

[night bough]

(not unless they redownloaded smapi? and if the game never crashed?)

[oak forum]

OHhh did you delete smapi and redownload it?

[night bough]

wrong @

[oak forum]

😆 ugh

I'm tired, im getting dinner. Citrus when you're back please @ me

[thorn maple]

Okay it ran with smapi just now but still no logs

[gaunt gust]

Is this steam deck

[thorn maple]

No it's Ubuntu

[gaunt gust]

I don't recall if steam deck logs are at the usual

[wooden pasture]

Okie dokie

If SMAPI tells you that a mod can be updated even if you have already downloaded the latest version, it may be an error with the manifest's version number. To check, open the mod's manifest.json and change the version number to match the mod page if they do not already match.

To use this command, type !manifesterror.

You are a legend, I finally found my logs. They're in /snap/

So, updated question with my logs! When I try to open the game with Generic Mod Config Menu downloaded, Smapi loads and runs but then the game crashes without opening

It is interesting that the last thing in the trace is Signing into GalaxySDK followed by Registered Data/Triggers action: Pathoschild.ContentPatcher_MigrateIds Could you try grabbing another log from whatever mod list you were using before that allowed you to get into a save?

[gaunt gust]

So this might be the thing I've noticed on Linux

Can you run the game through the command line?

But basically - if you aren't using mods compiled for the latest version of the game/smapi

You may see inexplicable runtime crashes

Not sure why

[night bough]

(is GMCM not compiled for 1.6?)

[gaunt gust]

Literally would see this between versions of alpha

[thorn maple]

How do I do that ? Run through the command line

I would probably try doing 50/50 at this point (or rather, trying without any mods at all at first unless you already did that)

[gaunt gust]

!troubleshoot has insturfutons

[native dragon]

hey! Can I get you to run through this troubleshooting guide https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Game_doesn.27t_launch? If none of the options there work, can you post the error message you get if you open SMAPI using the command line?

To use this command, type !troubleshoot.

[wooden pasture]

Yeah I think that would break the save, but maybe I’ll try a test save

[sly elm]

as long as you don't save it shouldn't break anything, but you could just backup the files to be sure

[night bough]

^^^ and testing on a test save is good but might not show the issue if the issue is in the save (unsure if this applies to you or not)

[oak forum]

It's no longer calling out specific mods anymore

the only other thing I could think of is if we tried a patch summary maybe we could see something deeper

!patch summary

!patchsummary

[native dragon]

Can you do these steps to provide more info?

1. Load your save and view the content that should be patched.
2. Type patch summary directly into the SMAPI window and press enter.
3. Upload your SMAPI log to https://smapi.io/log (see instructions on that page).
4. Post the log link here.

To use this command, type !patchsummary.

[night bough]

(Never seen this error before)

[wooden pasture]

I’m very special in my errors

[oak forum]

It had been calling out mod names one at a time which is why I was asking for the ones I was asking about

[wooden pasture]

Yeah that was my initial instinct too

[oak forum]

were you evena ble to enter greenhouse before?

[wooden pasture]

In a previous save, yes

[oak forum]

in this save though

[wooden pasture]

I just unlocked it so no

[oak forum]

what mods are different on this save then the previous is where I'd maybe start

[tranquil wren]

trying to install smapi on mac and when i click 'install on mac.os command' i get this
/Users/fel/Downloads/SMAPI\ 4.0.8\ installer/install\ on\ macOS.command ; exit;

Can you please take a screen recording of this? (CMD+SHFT+5 then click the rightmost option and go to settings and click none for microphone for your privacy)

[tranquil wren]

yes 1 sec

[wooden pasture]

The main difference is the map and Ridgeside. Maybe I’ll give Ridgeside a try?

[tranquil wren]

@night bough (i saw ur user say @'s encouraged.. sorry)

[tranquil wren]

i see ur new 🙂 welcome

[oak forum]

Hi let's please keep chatter down in this channel so we don't lose support!

[tranquil wren]

sorry, thats all i was gonna say

[oak forum]

What map are you on?

[night bough]

Okay. You can delete the screenrecording if you'd like. Where did you install smapi?

[oak forum]

also was your previous save 1.5 or 1.6 Citrus?

[tranquil wren]

i tried curse forge and nexus

[wooden pasture]

Lnh’s Mini Farm. And thanks, not new though! Old account got hacked sadly.

[wooden pasture]

1.6

[night bough]

Okay. Have you run stardew before?

[tranquil wren]

yes

a long time ago

its been about a year

[night bough]

Could you do me a favor and go to Finder>Go>Go to folder and type in this exactly: ~/.config/StardewValley . Then Finder>View>Show Path Bar. Then a screenshot of that folder please including the path bar

[oak forum]

okay did you add this map before starting this save, so brand new save on this map

Or did you switch to it using like easy farm switcher etc etc with the save as it was running?

[tranquil wren]

yeah 1 sec

when i click view, show path bar doesnt show up

just 'as icons as list etc'

[wooden pasture]

Added it for the current save!

I’m testing an old save now to see if it’s the game

[night bough]

This view

[oak forum]

so the map was added, and then you started the save?

[night bough]

Oh it looks like you already have it

[wooden pasture]

Correct!

[tranquil wren]

alr

[night bough]

Could you show me that whole folder?

[tranquil wren]

yes

[night bough]

Anything in error logs?

[tranquil wren]

yep

[night bough]

huh

[native dragon]

Log found, uploaded to: https://smapi.io/log/c4569c81cd694edb9a6eaa8bf5f97c23

[night bough]

Thats from february. But it is helpful. You use stardrop?

[tranquil wren]

i did, but it got uninstalled

how do i delete saves

would that work? i was planning on startinvg over

[night bough]

I would advise deleting ingame. Lets get you going first.

[tranquil wren]

ok

thats the only one i have

should i redo my saves? like, delete the ones i have now and go back in the files to a previous version?

[night bough]

Lets deal with that once we get SMAPI going. So it looks like you're using this but I don't know that much about it: https://ohmyz.sh/

[tranquil wren]

i forgot about that

i was planning on deleting that eventually

damn it

i thought i did ;-;

should i? or no?

[night bough]

I don't know enough about it. It looks like its needing an update. Perhaps try the update and see if the SMAPI installer works?

[tranquil wren]

ok

[pallid summit]

@oak forum @thorn maple we are still having trouble with linux, yes?
i think i saw this was ubuntu, and one of the crashes was failing to load libSkiaSharp.so (missing symbols)?

[tranquil wren]

updated

[oak forum]

@thorn maple

ope

uhhh double ping, yay?

[tranquil wren]

now it says check for a newer version fo smapi

[night bough]

screenshot please?

[night bough]

The latest is that it runs fine with no GMCM but with GMCM it crashes on trying to load a save. Atra was taking a look here #archived-modded-support message

[tranquil wren]

oh

i need that

[night bough]

So you're trying to launch your old smapi but could you please launch SMAPI 4.0.8 installer that you were trying here #archived-modded-support message

[wooden pasture]

Taking a dinner break, I’ll let you know if anything starts working

[tranquil wren]

i also use gmcm

oof

[pallid summit]

based on this screenshot it seems to be that libSkiaSharp is being loaded after application start, but it is failing because it needs a symbol from libfontconfig that is missing

[tranquil wren]

yes

[pallid summit]

i have a few commands for @thorn maple to try running in a terminal when they are ready

[tranquil wren]

it works

[thorn maple]

ready!

[tranquil wren]

should i try loading a char?

alr

[pallid summit]

okay! first, let's see what the status is of your libfontconfig. in a command terminal, can you paste:
apt search libfontconfig1
and hit enter to run it?

[tranquil wren]

now, not all mods are reinstalled 😦

[pallid summit]

you can paste the output here or screenshot it, whatever is easiest

[tranquil wren]

it works tho

Am I right to assume I need to change out usr with the name of the profile?

[pallid summit]

probably not, i'm giving you a system-wide location where i expect the package is installed

[thorn maple]

Naruhodo. My linux experience is minimal, and my experience with windows command prompt is that I hate it lol

[native dragon]

Log Info: SMAPI 4.0.8 with SDV 1.6.8 build 24119 on macOS Unix 14.5.0, with 13 C# mods and 41 content packs.
Suggested fixes: One or more mods are out of date, consider updating them

[pallid summit]

ok, still good. next, checking for the missing symbol in the lib:
strings -a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfontconfig.so.1.12.1 | grep -i 'getsysroot'

[tranquil wren]

i like timespeed @cosmic citrus

[night bough]

So it looks to me like all your old mods are there, they just didn't load in because they're from 1.5. Would you like help trying to keep a similar mod list? Or would you like to start over?

[cosmic citrus]

Sorry wrong channel

[tranquil wren]

similar

[pallid summit]

ok, that's the expected output. so your system lib has the symbol that the crash i saw complained was missing

[night bough]

Okay. Then you're going to be here for a bit so strap in tight.

[tranquil wren]

no problem 🙂

actually, start over for now

i'll keep one character tho

[night bough]

Ok. How about this, you make a duplicate of your mods folder as a backup. Put it on your desktop or wherever just not in your game folder. Then delete every single mod in your mod folder except SMAPI, console commands, and save backup

[night bough]

Oh

[tranquil wren]

and just redo the mods eventually

would i be able to delete certain characters?

[pallid summit]

i don't know a lot about snaps but i suspect they run in a sandbox/container, so they are not able to access the system libs the way conventional applications are. stardew does not ship with libfontconfig, although its bundled libSkiaSharp appears to expect it (or maybe GMCM is causing it to do so)

[thorn maple]

Are you suggesting leaving the snaps and going to the deb that valve has on their site?

[pallid summit]

first, i wonder if we can just drop the fontconfig lib into the snap directory, and maybe it will start working

[night bough]

So that is going to be hard. id need to look more carefully but im pretty sure you would have issues continuing a modded 1.5 save on 1.6. but deleting characters should be fine.

[tranquil wren]

nevermind, i'll just start completely over then

[pallid summit]

let me cook for a second and i'll give you a command or two to try running

[thorn maple]

I'm all for trying that, but is there a chance that this error may pop up with other games? right now, this machine is primarily for Stardew, but there are other games in my library

Take however long you need. I really appreciate your help!!

[night bough]

Okay then see above #archived-modded-support message and if you'd like (and if I have the time) I'll make a list of links to compatible versions of some of the mods you used to have. But you could do it yourself too if you like. Just go to your log and read through the yellow section at the top and the big list of mods in red text that say they were "skipped" (go to #governors-mansion and type !readlog for help on how to read your logs)

[tranquil wren]

oh if you could do that, that'd be amazing but you dont have to! and ok, i will

[pallid summit]

first step: can you run
ls -l ~/snap/
(i'm worried that the snap only mounts when you run it)

[pallid summit]

ok, so it's at least currently accessible

[thorn maple]

hold on

it is running in the background, one second

[gaunt gust]

Yeah snap does that

Worth trying installing via snap?

[thorn maple]

okay cool no change

[gaunt gust]

The libfontwhatever that is missing

[pallid summit]

oh that's a good idea, i was just going to try dumping the lib into the snap filesystem

[gaunt gust]

Actually before you do that

Go try to take a screenshot using thr vanilla full map screenshot option

(Options, scroll to bottom)

[thorn maple]

what am I screenshotting?

[gaunt gust]

(It should crash)

Using the game's full-map screenshot, so Options, scroll to bottom, hit camera icom

[thorn maple]

It did fully crash, yes

Scariest ||shit|| I've ever seen

[pallid summit]

ok, so the stardew valley snap package is defective. good to know (libfontconfig.so.1 is required but is not shipped)

anyway, let's try fixing it

[thorn maple]

What crimes come next

[pallid summit]

first, a sanity check:
ldd ~/snap/steam/common/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew\ Valley/libSkiaSharp.so
(this will just list what libs that lib is expecting to reference)

[gaunt gust]

( @winged vessel dunno what linux shenanigans you guys want to support, but currently the snap version of stardew is sad because ^^ )

[thorn maple]

Imagine if you tried to reference a font character, but whoever packaged you gave you the sads

[wooden pasture]

I removed mods completely and it STILL happens on that particular save, so. There’s that.

[pallid summit]

ok, let's try this:
cp /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfontconfig.so.1.12.1 ~/snap/steam/common/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew\ Valley/libfontconfig.so.1
(copying the system lib into the stardew valley directory)

[sly elm]

did you already verify your files? otherwise that's in order now :D

[pallid summit]

ok, no output is good, that means it worked

run your game and try either the screenshot or loading with GMCM

[wooden pasture]

Oh for sure, I did that earlier. It corrected two files and I had to reinstall SMAPI.

[gaunt gust]

(Thanks, ichor, for taking over! I'm not at my computer rn)

[wooden pasture]

Might try it again for funsies

[thorn maple]

Sadly, the crash persists....

[pallid summit]

dang

[gaunt gust]

Hmmm

What version of libfontconfig does the game expect?

[sly elm]

you could, if you did that and then added the mods again the bug could've reproduced itself. if it still doesn't work afterwards, then your save is borked for some reason

[pallid summit]

.1, which we gave it, although maybe the giving was incorrect

[gaunt gust]

ldd on skia seems to find it

[pallid summit]

ok two things. first:
ls ~/snap/steam/common/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Stardew\ Valley/libfontconfig.so.1
to make sure the file we put in is still there

i am willing to believe any amount of shenanigans on snap's part

[gaunt gust]

Oh is that not "find" but "required to be at that location"

Yeah snap is annoying tbh

[pallid summit]

left side of ldd output is what it is looking for. right side is where it found it. but running ldd outside of the container lets it look at system locations, which it can't do at runtime

[wooden pasture]

Oh it fully crashed when I loaded it one more time, completely vanilla, and tried to enter the greenhouse. I think the save is borked.

[gaunt gust]

(Thank you!)

Hummm

One second

[pallid summit]

atra if you are finding out how we can run the containerized game manually from the terminal so we can capture its output and see what is going on, that would be ideal

[sly elm]

that is not great. what you could try is to revert the save via the save backup, load it up without mods and progress to the day where your greenhouse gets unlocked

[gaunt gust]

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH may need to be set

[thorn maple]

Gonna resist the urge to post the "I like your funny words, magic man!" gif

[gaunt gust]

To see a binary in the same directory as the game

So set that to the game dir

[pallid summit]

oof. (but putting it alongside libskiasharp, which was already found, should have worked. counterpoint: snap shenanigans)

in the meantime, @thorn maple can you try looking for a snap package for libfontconfig?
