[terse tendon]

tysm for the help, i really appreciate it

i have an image of what i'm in game, if that will help

also happy to share the relevant piece of tilesheet

[unreal vault]

Hey guys, just want to know, there's no version 3.7.2 version of Sampi for Android? I can't use some mods...

Android is on 3.6.2 I remember...

[terse tendon]

but yeah, was wanting autumn trees to be a lil less purple and greenish yellow, so went in and altered the tilesheet, but have since realised that the mods tilesheet isn't being applied at all...

no idea Tonny, soz

[unreal vault]

I really wanted to try the mod that gives Penny a beautiful ponytail...

I mean, her default style is just beautiful, but it can be better!

Thx anyways

[tawny kindle]

@unreal vault it looks like ZaneYork's port is up to 3.7.3 https://github.com/ZaneYork/SMAPI-Android-Installer/releases

[fair vessel]

@terse tendon could you do that again, but first visit the town map? It hasn't tried to apply any of the grass patches yet because they're not used inside the farmhouse.

[unreal vault]

[terse tendon]

so load game, walk to outside pierres or something, then log?

[fair vessel]

yep

[terse tendon]

cool, brb

[fair vessel]

well, then patch summary, then log

[terse tendon]

yup yup

oh btw, i checked the content.json and it's a straight up load of the tilesheet, not an edit, so I'm mystified why it's not using the whole sheet

[unreal vault]

REALLY! THANKS @tawny kindle
You just saved my life!

[terse tendon]

witchcraft 😂

trees have now loaded

lmao

tysm

i have no idea why it didn't load when i was on the farm lol

ok, so. I'm not crazy

the trees on the farm aren't loading from that tilesheet

ok, same in the forest. I think interactable trees aren't using the new colours

i have a pic of both a "background" tree and an interactable tree, both maples, one purpley, one the red I made

ok I've found the xnb's for the tree sprites vs the tree setpieces lol, thanks for your patience as i blathered my way through this

I'll write up something for the spirtes and see how it goes

[mint pawn]

I dont know if anyone can help me with this but my game just wont load in the retexture for this tree and only this kind of tree? (The one in the screenshot is right next to Harvey's) Like all the other trees are working fine except for this kind of tree (Im using Stardew Foliage Redone - foliage only and DaisyNiko's Earthy Recolor)

[ashen elbow]

that comes from flower valley

[mint pawn]

i took out flower valley and its not the problem and i think that tree is default

[pine ledge]

It’s too unsaturated to be default. 🤔 Might want to go crawling though your mod assets to take a look. IIRC, that tree is on the spring(or insert current season here)Town tilesheets, so that will narrow down what you’re looking for greatly.

Just figure out which mod matches the tree and you’ll have your answer.

[mint pawn]

i have natural reshade on thats why its desaturated

heres the tree normally

[pine ledge]

Ah. Got it. In that case, I’d take a look at both mods to even see which one is supposed to affect the tree.

[mint pawn]

imma try taking out mods i installed recently because the tree worked fine yesterday

[thorny tusk]

melts
i'm excited for the new update but mAN I DOnt have the energy to go through all of my mods again to update them
Do any of you think i could get someone to make a modpack?

[fair vessel]

modpacks are frowned upon in this community because it usually involves re-distrubuting mod creators' work without permission.

ModDrop does allow a way to create approved mod packs that don't do this, though.

[thorny tusk]

Alright thank you!

[crystal spear]

im using the multiple spouses mod and im married to elliot and sebastian.....i can see elliot moving around normally but sebastian's been like this for two days ingame???idk whats wrong

[fair vessel]

Ah hm. There's gotta be an outdated spritesheet here.

Any XNB mods? (Ones that get dropped into the Content folder)

[crystal spear]

yeah i think so hold on

okay no i dont think i have any xnb mods

[fair vessel]

There is two separate problems I think.
One is him not moving, which is likely to be an issue in his schedule data or a map (quite likely the spouse room. Try giving a bouquet or whatever is needed to switch the main spouse.)
The second issue is him looking like that, which is either an xnb mod or an outdated content patcher mod.

Do this to double-check for xnb problems

[crystal spear]

ill try updating whatever needs to be updated and get back to u

[fair vessel]

!reset

[native dragon]

See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files for instructions on resetting your game files! You may also want to check this list of XNB > Content Patcher conversions (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods#Alternatives_using_Content_Patcher) to see if there are already replacements for any XNB mods you may have been using :)

[crystal spear]

thank you!!!

[fair vessel]

(It won't affect your save files or your Mods folder)

[crystal spear]

okay good to know

[fair vessel]

And then after you do that, if he still looks weird, do this

!log

[native dragon]

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

[crystal spear]

alrighty thank u sm

[fair vessel]

Me or someone else will be able to look through the log info and narrow down what mod might be responsible.

[crystal spear]

okay!

oh yeah my content patcher mod needs to be updated

[fair vessel]

That probably won't alone fix it, if it's a particular content pack that is causing the problem.

[crystal spear]

no lol it fixed it haha

its working fine now!

i think there was a problem with the content patcher so i uninstalled then installed it again 😅

thank you so much!!!!!

[halcyon shuttle]

I'm having an issue with my pigs. They don't produce anything with full hearts. Once I stopped petting them they started digging up truffles again. Took me a few weeks to even realize they didn't produce anything so I can rule out bad luck from the equation. Now I don't know if it is an mod issue or core game issue I am having.
https://smapi.io/log/5f293f22e933445780ded8f8a6a767d9

[royal arrow]

Oh no, that sounds similar to the issue I was having in which one of my chickens suddenly stopped laying eggs. For me, I had to lock them in the coop at night, and then they'd lay eggs. We didn't actually find the solution though.

On the truffles though, can you confirm you're meeting the conditions for the pigs listed under the Produce section here?
https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Pig

[halcyon shuttle]

Yes, if I don't pet the pig it digs up the truffles (I said pigs originally but it's only the one pig)

Did you only have the issue with one of your chickens? I only have one pig so it might go away if I sell that one and replace it with others. (I'm about to hit winter so the testing with it will have to wait)

[royal arrow]

In my case I had only 2 chickens on this save, and 1 had been producing eggs and stopped, while the other chicken continued to produce. We tested locking them in at night, and that was enough for both chickens to lay eggs in the morning. Then I could unlock the door and let them go outside (I got Automated Animal Doors to do it though lol)

Do you have Lookup Anything installed? If not, you can get it, and toggle Data Mining Fields on in the config.json, then load up your save, and use Lookup Anything on the pig (default keybind is F1). That will give you a ton of data (I took screenshots for mine) so we can take a look and see if there's anything odd there

It may only be the 1 pig, but I'm not sure o:

[halcyon shuttle]

I do not have that one installed. Where do I find it? Searching "Lookup Anything" doesn't give me anything on nexusmods

now I found it, nvm

[royal arrow]

As a note, I got 10 screenshots' worth of data, so I recommend uploading them to imgur.com or something, and then linking that here

[halcyon shuttle]

I've run into some trouble with lookup anything now. I opened it once and then accidently closed it again and even after restarting the game a few times I can't get it to open up again. The search toggle (default Shift+F1)work for me but not the normal one (default F1)

[royal arrow]

Do you have another mod using F1 as a keybind?

[halcyon shuttle]

I do not, tried changing it to F5 with no change

[royal arrow]

!log can you provide a new log?

[native dragon]

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

[halcyon shuttle]

weird as it showed up once

oh, I think I used it wrong. I didn't hover over the pig when I pressed F1

https://imgur.com/a/Myem9n1

The pictures are all out of order though.. But there is one with one the top bit after petting and the all the others are before I touched it

[dire fractal]

@vocal quartz Sorry for the ping ;u; I saw in #making-mods-general that you had 304 hairstyles and.. I was wondering what mods you had to have so much! o:

also what's your clothing too? It's super cute!

[vocal quartz]

Hello!

All my hairs come from Naver

and my clothing as well!

[dire fractal]

Oh, is that the username? I'll check Nexus then c:

[shut violet]

Naver is a corean site

[ionic swallow]

guys I'm using stardew valley expanded, do I need the files that has new items? or Can I remove that file?

[dire fractal]

aaaa

[vocal quartz]

I'll send u the sites

[dire fractal]

Thank you

[vocal quartz]

https://cafe.naver.com/starvall

You gotta make a naver acc

and then u gotta sign up for the cafe (fancy name for forum )

[dire fractal]

is there a way to translate the website tho? I don't speak nor read korean sadly ;u;

[vocal quartz]

Same

I use google chrome

cuz it auto translates

[dire fractal]

aaah damn it, don't know if I can do that on firefox o:

I'll install Chrome if it's not installed already

[vocal quartz]

and if u r looking for a mod but you don't know how to find them, take a screenshot and ask the korean community. They are very helpful especially if you speak Korean

[dire fractal]

Oh neat!

[vocal quartz]

first one is for looking for like mods
second is for re-textures of vanilla files. You gotta do a lot of merging tho but they r worth

[royal arrow]

https://imgur.com/a/Myem9n1

The pictures are all out of order though.. But there is one with one the top bit after petting and the all the others are before I touched it
@halcyon shuttle nothing seems to be out of place, and both the "before the pet" and "after the pet" show "produce ready: Truffle" so I'm not sure what's wrong

[halcyon shuttle]

Okay, I'll have to continue on and see how it works after winter. Thanks for looking at it!

[warm grove]

Why is the friendship at 995?

[tall lily]

Guys do you know any way to rename chest on android

[green copper]

uhh

[dim shoal]

the automate mod showed casks in the quarry, but the game said they only work in the cellar. which one is true?

[green copper]

cause jernard loves him

[shell jackal]

That almost sounds like the animal bug from way back. They'd go over the max friendship and it would end up in negatives or something. And they'd stop producing. Something like that.

[dusk gull]

@dire fractal MS edge is not my fave browser but it does have a very good translation extension which I used to sign up to Naver 🙂

[heavy sail]

the automate mod showed casks in the quarry, but the game said they only work in the cellar. which one is true?
@dim shoal I'm pretty sure you need the Casks Everywhere mod for casks to work in the quarry.

[dim shoal]

ahh, that would make sense then.

ty

[dire fractal]

I'm using Chrome right now, it seems to work fine! But thanks for the info!

[royal arrow]

Actually, Automate includes similar code so that casks do work anywhere, there should be a toggle in the config.json for it

[dusk gull]

I dont know if anyone can help me with this but my game just wont load in the retexture for this tree and only this kind of tree? (The one in the screenshot is right next to Harvey's) Like all the other trees are working fine except for this kind of tree (Im using Stardew Foliage Redone - foliage only and DaisyNiko's Earthy Recolor)
@mint pawn did you find the answer? I had an issue finding this tree myself once back and realised that it is in a different tilesheet than the other trees. So, if you have a mod that targets the townexterior tilesheet but not the spring outdoors tilesheet, that's why your other trees are fine but that one isnt

like if you installed a mod that changes the buildings or something

[dire fractal]

does anyone know why some trees from the game (the ones from the landscapes, that you cant chop etc) look like this?

i'll upload my log

the other tress, that you can plant and chop down, are ok

https://smapi.io/log/8d686b9a4a0c40028a71d10d82579c12

[dusk gull]

looks like you have 2 recolor mods one of which is an overlay?

[royal arrow]

iirc you're using Stardew Foliage Redone and A Less Yellow Stardew (ALYS), I think both of them change trees

You may be able to fix that by adding a dependency within the manifest.json for Stardew Foliage Redone, so that ALYS loads first, and Foliage Redone loads after

 "Dependencies": [
    {
       "UniqueID": "PutALYSUniqueIDhere",
       "IsRequired": false
    },  
    ] ```

[dire fractal]

@royal arrow this was also happening when i was trying to use flower valley

looks like you have 2 recolor mods one of which is an overlay?
@dusk gull what is an overlay?does that mean it loads firs?

[royal arrow]

No need to ping, I'm here
I think it's the dependencies thing. I have those set and don't have those issues, so that's likely what's happening

[dusk gull]

so recolor mods edit the images by either replacing the image or by overlaying the image with another image. Basically putting one on top of the other

[royal arrow]

This section of the Content Patcher (CP) readme has some details and picture explanations as well, on the different patch types
https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide.md#editimage

[dire fractal]

do i add the dependencies anywhere in the json?

[dusk gull]

in the manifest.json... hold on i'll get you an example...

[dire fractal]

oh yeah thats what i meant

like, anywhere in the manifest

[royal arrow]

Yea, typically we put it at the end of it, but you can stick it anywhere

[dusk gull]

here's one of mine { "Name": "[JA] Tea Stand", "Author": "pl611", "Version": "1.0.5", "Description": "Brews tea and Iced Tea", "UniqueID": "pl611.TeaStandJA", "MinimumApiVersion": "3.0.1", "UpdateKeys": [], "ContentPackFor": { "UniqueID": "spacechase0.JsonAssets" }, "Dependencies": [ { "UniqueID": "Hadi.FrozenTreatsJA", "IsRequired": false }, ] }

oh sorry lennedalben I just saw you already did that

[royal arrow]

No worries, you actually included the whole manifest.json, which is probably more helpful than just my snippet 😅

[dire fractal]

when you put dependencies

will it stop the mod from overlapping the other?

because you guys said like "oh x mod will load first"

but how do you know which mod was loading first or not? because on my folder's list, ALYSV was loading first

[dusk gull]

yeah in my example there, my mod will load after Hadi's mod

so the mod you type in the dependencies list loads forst

*first

[dire fractal]

oh rip i did that but now i dont have the dirt from ALYSV

[royal arrow]

Is there a config option in Foliage Redone to toggle off the dirt?

If not, you can change to you use Stardew Foliage Redone - Foliage Only version (available on nexus), which is how I use it and ALYS currently o:

[dire fractal]

ok i will try tht now!

do you use those 2 + flower valley ?

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/6234 I need that. And it's compatible with SVE

[royal arrow]

@kaznej, yes I do, but I also set dependencies all over the place lol

[dire fractal]

oof

i want flower valley but im not that familiar with how dependencies work.. did you use them so it would only load flowers and bushes instead of the tress?(from FV)

[royal arrow]

Let me boot up my computer, I can share my manifest.json file set ups, and the config.json as well

[dire fractal]

thank you much appreciated

[royal arrow]

yea all the personal edits I make and dependency madness makes it harder to explain how I get things to work together

[dusk gull]

same!

[dire fractal]

{
"RandomGrass": "true",
"Grass": "true",
"GeneralBush": "true",
"FruitTrees": "true",
"GeneralTrees": "true",
"StaticTreesandBushes": "true",
"BloomingSpring": "true"
}

this is my foliage redone

config

[royal arrow]

Flower Valley manifest.json: https://smapi.io/json/manifest/7445dac0cf3d4381bde4080552c31e45
Flower Valley config.json: https://smapi.io/json/none/3f73bd61c9914de9bbc12ffabea74864
Stardew Foliage Redone - Foliage Only manifest.json: https://smapi.io/json/manifest/d7b0c126af5f408cb4bf5f1cb8bee2c2
Stardew Foliage Redone - Foliage Only config.json: https://smapi.io/json/none/875f78fc47ea4481a7f418e75335afbe

With everything set this way, you'll have both the bushes from Flower Valley and Foliage Redone, and both the trees from Flower Valley and Foliage Redone.
The difference is, the trees and bushes that can't be cut down / picked will be in the Foliage Redone style, while trees and bushes that can be cut down / picked will be in the Flower Valley style

[dire fractal]

it doesnt have a dirt option

thank you so much

youre a star

[royal arrow]

It was raining in this one, but you can see the different trees and bushes and whatnot

you're welcome!

[ionic swallow]

guys I'm using stardew valley expanded, do I need the files that has new items? or Can I remove that file?

[dusk gull]

I think you need all the files in the main download pack for SVE, if that's what you mean?

[ionic swallow]

kinda. Just wish there was a option to not have the new items like the fish and potions etc lol

[dire fractal]

i wont get the cute grass from foliage redone right?

i think it's so pretty, the pastel colors, esp in spring : p

[royal arrow]

if you're using the Foliage Only version, then by definition, yes, no grass 😄 I thought you were using ALYS for the grass and dirt though?

[dire fractal]

oh yeah im using it for the dirt@

oh yeah true

i choose the grass there too

oops got confused for a sec

:p

[royal arrow]

Yea the way that these recolors are done, you get grass + dirt as a package deal, can't use the grass from one mod and dirt from another. It'd require extensively rewriting the mods to only use one instead of both

[dusk gull]

CynderQuest, yeah I think they are pretty integrated so you probably can't. There are not that many though

[dire fractal]

ohhh

alright

i didnt know it was a package deal

it makes more sense

tysm ♥

i'll test the mods now

[dusk gull]

on my list of mods I'll probably never make because time is a CP mod that just changes all the fences and works with foliage redone etc.

[royal arrow]

Btw I only know that because I too was once trying to have grass from 1 mod and dirt from another mod 😂 and modders kindly pointed out that would require rewriting the mods

[dire fractal]

hahaha

livin and learning

so i have more grass and i added the realist wildflowers for more grass mod

would it work?ive been wondering whether it's working or not lol

[royal arrow]

Ah, I don't use More Grass, so I'm not sure how it works o:

[dire fractal]

sometimes i put the mods and i never know if it's working or not, or if one is overwriting another

unless it shows on the smapi erros :p

ok i might delete it honestly i have no idea how it works oops

i think i have enough recolors to worry about

:p

i added a recolor to the water though, called better water

it's so nice

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5409

this is the one i mentioned

it looks so pretty

[dusk gull]

more grass should work! I think it is additive, so if you have 2 more grass packs, like foliage redone and realistic wildflower, you will get all the grass?

I think...

[royal arrow]

Yea I found a grass mod I liked (Garden Grass) and I have been loyal to it since LOL

[dire fractal]

😮

ooh is it on nexus?

looking up as we speak

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2017

this one?

so lovely

[royal arrow]

Yes it is yup that's the one

[dire fractal]

okay but

wouldnt that conflict with a less yellow stardew

[royal arrow]

it has a short version, and I personally shortened it even more so I could see my little animals o.o

[dire fractal]

since you said that dirt and grass come together?

[royal arrow]

this is only the grass that you can cut down to make hay o:

ALYS changes the grass and dirt that you walk on, on the ground

we need a new word I: lol instead of calling them both grass

[dire fractal]

this is only the grass that you can cut down to make hay o:
oh this is what i mean like, i wanted that grass from foliage redone! i dont mind much the grass we walk on hehehe

when i disable the grass from foliage redone, am i disabling the grass i can cut to make hay or the grass as in the floor we walk on?

the ground*

[dusk gull]

hay grass

[dire fractal]

WE DO NEED A NEW WORD haha

[dusk gull]

lol

[royal arrow]

if you're toggling off grass in foliage redone, it's the hay grass. Grass you walk on is a package deal with the dirt changes, and can't be toggled on and off

[dire fractal]

why do you toggle off the hay grass on foliage redone?is it so the flower valley one works or?

oh no

nevermind. it's so the one you jsut said works

the garden grass

[dusk gull]

yeah so I looked at more grass, and actually once you have ONE content pack, e.g. foliage redone, you can just go into the assets folder and add extra grass pngs and it will add them

[dire fractal]

🙈

[dusk gull]

so you could have ALL THE GRASS

[dire fractal]

ohhh

that's so nice omg

so i just add all the extra pngs and boom, they show up randomly?

bc there will be literally a lot of grass

hehe

[dusk gull]

yep, you have to rename them 1.png, 2.png, 3.png etc so you don't have 2 1.png files, but that's it

you should have these folder inside the wildflower grass field right?

so you just go inside each season and add the .png files you like! you can delete the ones you don't like too!

mine looks like that inside fall

[dire fractal]

lemme see

so this is what i have inside fall in the wildflower mod

not sure where to go from here

[dusk gull]

yeah I don't think it actually matters what they are named. You can just add as many grass files to that folder as you like, and your grass in game will be a random mix!

[royal arrow]

cough could the More Grass mod description / install instructions help? 😊 hehe

[dire fractal]

even if i have the foliage redone?

Wait wait you can add any png file in the folders? o:

[dusk gull]

yep

[dire fractal]

Ooooh that's neat!

So I don't need to replace any png, I can just add some!

do i add everything to the foliage redone folder and not the wildflower folder right?

[dusk gull]

yeah I found the instructions on the github page for how to create a more grass content pack

I would add everything to the one that appears to be working in the game

[dire fractal]

okay

tysm for the info

also. is there a way to edit those things without having to close and reopen the game every time?

[dusk gull]

does foliage redone have a more grass folder?

[royal arrow]

you can edit them on the fly, but to see the changes, you'd have to close the game and load it again o.o

proudunicorn and I do this to avoid forgetting what we wanted to change 😂

[dusk gull]

yes!!! 😆

[royal arrow]

out of curiosity, have you used a reshade mod o: ? I've been wondering about using Natural Reshade, but it looks like it's complicated to set up with Steam o: (gives me ENB flashbacks with Skyrim I: )

[dire fractal]

i tried using that lenne and it wasnt complicared at all

[dusk gull]

you mean the one that involves editing the xnb?

[dire fractal]

i just didnt like how it looked oops

it's too bright on the eyes

and if i, with my lil experience, could set it up, im sure you'd do it in no time!

[royal arrow]

This one is the one I'm talking about, looks like there's a different option that doesn't involve messing with XNBs https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1213

that's good to hear kaznej, from the comments it looked like getting Steam to work with it was a hassle. I'll add that to my "try this later maybe" list xD

[dire fractal]

you just change the way you start the game, it's almost the same code as smapi

[dusk gull]

now I have to try it!

[dire fractal]

Okay so if I understood correctly... I can add other png to that?

[dusk gull]

you should be able to. I'm just going to test it actually to see if it works if you just install multiple packs as that would be easier

omg reshade broke my game

[desert rain]

Hey guys

Im having trouble with android smapi

I cant press any of the button from virtual keyboard mod

It's all greyed out

[dusk gull]

omg reshade broke my game
@dusk gull smapi has disappeared and when I try to reinstall I don't have access!!!!

[royal arrow]

uhhh did you have to elevate permissions to install reshade, like, be an admin, or enter an admin password?

[dusk gull]

not that i'm aware of. I just ran the reshade .bat and smapi's .exe was deleted and I can't reinstall it. I have unistalled reshade and still no.

I'm going to try the turn it off and on again method in case that helps

a pc reboot and clean smapi install worked yay

[dire fractal]

Aaaah nice!

[dusk gull]

yep I have all three grass mods installed next to each other, and it looks like a mix in the grass

like this

[shell jackal]

Now Windows Defender is not letting smapi run cause of a new trojan

[dusk gull]

ah I think I may have just had that problem. did you get it from nexus or smapi directly? I think it didn't like the direct smapi for me

[shell jackal]

I got it from Nexus. Ran fine yesterday

Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.D4!ml is the file. It was a different one before

[keen moss]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#SMAPI_files_disappear_or_antivirus_complains. See here for information

[dusk gull]

oh thanks! 🙂

[keen moss]

It’s a common error with new files since they aren’t recognized and it’ll say it’s a trojan when it isn’t. After a few days and enough people download it you should stop getting that error.

[shell jackal]

I know. I read it. Was just mostly commenting it's weird that I've never had Smapi do this before. Windows get your crap together! xD

[keen moss]

Frankly I wish there was a way to tell Windows that I know what I’m doing download and run it anyways but alas

It’s happening a lot more frequently. I used to never get it but now I do. Most likely there was a Windows update that changed stuff.

[shell jackal]

Ahhh

I swear windows needs to learn "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

[dusk gull]

there was just an update that said something about protections

[dire fractal]

You can stop windows from automatically annihilating SMAPI when you download it

even with the new windows update, but it's kind of a hassle tbh

[dusk gull]

yeah i am not a fan of the constant updates but i'll take small incremental updates over having a paper due in college and windows updating for SIX HOURS

[dire fractal]

rip

Also, does anyone know if there's a mod that lets you move the farmhouse and greenhouse like any other building? Sometimes I wish I could live like a cabin-person in a specific area of the farm, rather than being stuck in one spot. I know MTN does this, but I'm not sure if that only applies to if you're making a new map or...

[royal arrow]

I think it only applies when making a new map, same with Farmhouse Redone (FHR)

those locations are hardcoded, so that's the reason why it's not simple to make a mod that allows you to move those buildings

[dire fractal]

I see 🤔

[dusk gull]

you can still build cabins around your farm and live in those if you want

[steep mica]

Can someone help me with Stardew valley expanded?

I can't start it anymore. I installed NPC Map Locations and couldn't start it anymore. And now even though I deleted it I still can't start it.

[coral pike]

Anybody know if bathroom after 2nd upgrade and basement after 2nd upgrade are compatible with immersive farm SVE? i don't see it working but i might be dumb.

[royal arrow]

@steep mica I'm about to head out so I can't help, but check the install guide for SVE, make sure you followed all those steps, and if you're still having issues, providing your log will help people troubleshoot with you

[dire fractal]

@dusk gull oh so I just need to install all the mods... but what if I don't want certain type of grass from one mod? Can I add to the folder of one of the grass mods?

don't know if I'm clear I'm sorry ;;

[haughty canopy]

hey, can anyone help me to get smapi working? I just checked out that troubleshooting page on the wiki, but the only antivirus blocking it is Win10's built-in one. Not sure how to proceed

@dusk gull oh so I just need to install all the mods... but what if I don't want certain type of grass from one mod? Can I add to the folder of one of the grass mods?
@dire fractal I assume you can just delete the specific pngs you don't like

[dire fractal]

Or that too

But I want to avoid downloading other mods when I can only have one ahah

[dusk gull]

Yeah you can do whatever is easier

Both methods work :)

[supple echo]

@steep mica I'm seeing errors about missing files, which is odd. I don't think NPC Map Locations would've caused that, although I'm far from the most experienced person here Might be worth verifying your game files in case something got corrupted somehow?

@steep mica have you checked to make sure the file crops.xnb exists in your game's Content/Tilesheets folder?

Can you check if the crafting recipes .xnb is there

@Gortiamas#9099 can't ping you for some reason! That happened to me and I switched off windows defender for the smapi install and then switched it back on.

[steep mica]

@dusk gull where is the content folder?

[fair vessel]

In your game folder

D:\Spiele\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\Content on your computer

[steep mica]

can't find it

[fair vessel]

Can't find the files we mentioned, or can't find the entire content folder?

[steep mica]

can't find the entire folder

[fair vessel]

Okay... does D:\Spiele\ folder exist?

[steep mica]

yes

[fair vessel]

How far can you go before getting lost?

[steep mica]

till \Content

[fair vessel]

Can you show a screenshot of inside the Stardew Valley folder?

[fair vessel]

Ok. Well that's definitely the problem. Your entire folder full of game content files is missing. You didn't rename it or move it or something?

[steep mica]

No I never did that

[fair vessel]

I am very confused why a file reset did not catch and fix this.

[steep mica]

Should i reinstall the game?

[fair vessel]

Try the whole process of resetting through Steam again. What message does it say?

(And yes, if that does not work the next step is to reinstall the game)

[steep mica]

Okay I'll try that

Okay Im not sure if I did the right thing but it said it would download 2700 files now

[fair vessel]

Yes! That's right

All 2700 missing files 😅

(you can see why the game was having problems lol)

[steep mica]

Oh yeah I have a content folder now

[fair vessel]

Those files include ALL the game's maps, images, dialogues, and hundreds of data files

[steep mica]

Oh well that explains why I couldn't start it

[fair vessel]

Yep.

[steep mica]

And I can start it know thank you very much!

[fair vessel]

I wonder how they disappeared?

[steep mica]

Yeah that is a really good question

[fair vessel]

Looks like since that was your problem after all, re-installing NPC Map Locations should be fine @steep mica. Make sure you get the version made for SVE!

[steep mica]

Okay thanks for all ur help

[supple echo]

Jonqora to the rescue! Hooray 😄

[vital spade]

Jonqora mvp

[supple echo]

I'm surprised the first file reset didn't catch that too, but I'm happy it's fixed now 😄

Definitely one of the more interesting larger-scale errors I've seen 😅

hi!! i don't know how to get the skirts in game in this mod :(https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2864

Kisekae is gone

i'm using the latest version

the one w/o kisekae

[shut violet]

do you have the tailor mouse mod ?

[shell jackal]

Oh, didn't see that it had updated

[opal prawn]

yes, but i don't see the skirts in the store

[shut violet]

hmm

last time i saw tailor mouse mod it had a rotation, i don't know if it's still the case

[opal prawn]

aw SHOOT

[shut violet]

do you have CJB item spawner ? if yes you can check that the items are here

[opal prawn]

im gonna download that now!! ty!

[shut violet]

it's possible the issue is somewhere else, i don't know how tailor mouse mod is working now

but if you don't see them when using CBJ item spawner we'll try to have more info

[dire fractal]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4011?tab=description I have a question: does this work for critters too?

Especially with Elle's Critter and Butterfly Replacements?

[shut violet]

i don't think so but i'm not sure

[outer turret]

what program do people use to unzip RAR etc files in Windows 10?

[dire fractal]

I'm sure a great many still use free copies of winrar, but 7zip is a great all-rounder for Windows archive handling and supports rar.

*supports unpacking rar.

[outer turret]

Aha that was probably what was on my old computer. I thought I had winzip but that appears to no longer be free.

i found the skirts! thanks again!

glad it's working, genuine_angels 🙂

[lapis void]

@dire fractal it does not, you want the mod custom critters for that

[tender ingot]

i dont know whats causing it though

[dire fractal]

Nice, perfect!

Thanks!

@tender ingot I think that's why the troubleshooting instructions are fairly general. You'll probably have to poke around in the files for each mod and do some trial and error testing to solve which is causing the doubling. 😐

[rain lava]

!log @tender ingot

[native dragon]

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

[tender ingot]

yeah i uploaded my smapi log and it didnt tell me anything, im pretty sure its flower valley tho

where it says "UniqueID" what do i put there?

[dire fractal]

For making a dependency entry? You can grab the Unique ID for the mod you want to add as a dependency from that mod's manifest.json file.

[azure tusk]

anyone need me to test a mod

[tender ingot]

thank you!

[outer turret]

Not my error, it's from facebook, but a JA issue where most sprites arwnt loading. Any suggestions? https://smapi.io/log/a736b47497694a9fb6c8dd448ace9292

[dire fractal]

I'm bad at JA, but I'd start by solving the dupes between espresso machine foods/artisan valley machine goods and IF2R / npc jasper.

[lapis void]

remove espresso machine, it's part of artisan valley

[dire fractal]

I really hope I'm doing everything correctly with Adopt n Skin

(IF2R/jasper cave conflict probably unrelated to sprites, just noting it)

[royal arrow]

Late but y'all are tempting me to check out More Grass 👀 so pretty

[dire fractal]

Yes. We are definitely the ones at fault for you wanting to install more mods. LenneDalben is not known for installing mods at all.

[shut violet]

lol

[royal arrow]

gasp am affronted lol

[shut violet]

(i made some MG packs, if you are interested)

[azure tusk]

yes

[royal arrow]

Nah just kidding. I've had 1 grass mod this whole time, I'll take a look Lumina! I always overestimate how complicated it'd be to install and manage

[shut violet]

yeah it's pretty simple for the user 🙂

[royal arrow]

Oki cool~ first I should do some adulting and start cooking dinner, since it's gonna take over an hour for this recipe >~> then I'll take a look at the beautiful grass~

[azure tusk]

hey Lumina could i have the mod

[supple echo]

adulting? what is this "adulting" of which you speak? 😉

[shut violet]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5416 here is one of the version (there are also one version with different colors of grass)

!bfav

[native dragon]

BFAV stands for Better Farm Animal Variety, a mod by Paritee which lets you add new breeds of animals to live in coops and barns. The official version (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3296) is broken in Stardew Valley 1.4 and an unofficial update can be found at https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/updating-mods-for-stardew-valley-1-4.156000/page-46#post-3356278. Documentation for the Content Pack format is available on github (https://github.com/paritee/Paritee.StardewValley.Frameworks/blob/bfav-3.0.0/BetterFarmAnimalVariety/README.md)

[dire fractal]

Anyone has good chicken skins? I can't find a godsdamn mod that doesn't use xnb files on the Nexus.....

for Adopt N Skin

[shut violet]

elle's ones ?

[dire fractal]

Is it really the only one? o:
nothing against it, I'm just curious

[shut violet]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3168?tab=files
you will need to rename files i think ?

i think there may be other, it's the first that comes to my mind

[fair vessel]

@dire fractal Adopt N Skin can load xnbs just fine. Just put the files where the skins go and make sure they're named correctly.

[dire fractal]

Oh really? Neat then! o:

[fair vessel]

It's not the same no-no as using normal XNB mods, since they're not being used to replace anything in the Content folder.

[royal arrow]

I have a couple chicken mods listed in my mod list, and there's a table of contents to make it easier to navigate o:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_qmtiO74ENg99aDL97xhLjVawV5pQLQtmHCidLTnbRc/edit?usp=drivesdk

[fair vessel]

Elle's mods are nice though, they include optional downloads that are already organized and re-named to work with Adopt N Skin

[dire fractal]

The Chomkins are amazing ahah

I think I'll add them too

There's an old mod that converts all the livestock to various cute slimes, but it and the CP conversion for it are on the chucklefish forums instead of Nexus.

Which I realize doesn't sound like it'd work with a feathered creature, but look at this sweet little blueberry

ohno so cute ahah

Okay uhm I have a problem

I want to use Chomkin skins... but: where are the baby chick files?

[royal arrow]

I don't think CHONKINS has separate baby chick files o: it uses the vanilla ones

[dire fractal]

Oh..but then what should I name them? For example when adding the brown chicken to this folder?

BrownChicken_4 ?

[royal arrow]

This is the slime animals mod mana was referring to btw, I dug through the chat since I knew they had shared it

https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/slime-animals-last-update-09-10-2016.110931/

[dire fractal]

I have been trying since posting the blueberry to try and find the CP conversion link. 😐

Someone converted it to CP and it has a tiny config bug that makes goats not work (just a typo, easy fix), but I can't find it to save my life atm.

[royal arrow]

I searched by from:mana#4331 has:link lol

[dire fractal]

AHA

https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/migrating-xnb-mods-to-content-patcher-packs.141577/#post-3258724

so uhm... about my file name?

[royal arrow]

I don't use Adopt n Skin so I can't help much besides directing you to the mod description and install instructions o.o

[dire fractal]

...well then I guess I'll need to find a random baby spritesheet and rename it c':

So reading that and the other notes, I think that's for if it has a baby/sheared sprite.

I think if it only has adult skins, it just needs the adult skin to have a unique name compared to the other adults?

But the chickens has a baby skin o:

...right. Ignore everything I said. I thought that, then talked myself out of it somehow. >_>

[fair vessel]

You can copy a vanilla skin over and re-name it

(the xnb file should be fine, no need to unpack)

[dire fractal]

Yeah I'm gonna do that ahah

[shell jackal]

I'd love that slime animal mod as a BFAV one. Also DO NOT start downloading Lumina's mods. It's like pringles. You won't be able to stop once you've downloaded one. 😉

[dire fractal]

Aha, content.json line 27 is the typo for the CP conversion (no idea if BFAV uses the original mods' content.json files)
"Target": "Animals/BabyGoatoat",

[fair vessel]

Goatoat!

[dire fractal]

Uh am I crazy or does ducks don't have a baby stage?

Ducks have a baby stage

They look the same as baby chickens

aah that's why, okay

[crude flume]

there's a list on the wiki with CP migrations too

much easier to search

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Using_XNB_mods#Alternatives_using_Content_Patcher

[dire fractal]

Probably how I found the conversion the first time, tbh.

and then immediately forgot

[crude flume]

lol, yeah it's not easy to find it via the wiki or google

[dire fractal]

🗡️🧠🔪

[crude flume]

it's linked on the first page of that forum thread tho

oh, it's also pinned here

that makes sense

very end of the first pinned message

[dire fractal]

So basically I looked for the conversion this time in every spot except any of the ones that would work.

[dire fractal]

so I guess the dinosaur doesn't have a baby stage?

[shell jackal]

Nope

At least not in terms of appearance

[jaunty tree]

@shy orbit I just did what you suggested of redownloading the mods, all fixed now thanks!

[outer turret]

How do I set immersive farm to only load for one file if I have two using standard map?

[fair vessel]

Disable it when playing the other save

[dire fractal]

Probably mod groups?

!modgroups

[native dragon]

See this link for how to load different mod groups: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started#Can_I_have_different_mod_groups.3F.

[exotic rapids]

Hey all! Paradigm suggested i should put my problem on here so here it is: im on a kindle fire and want to use mods, i download smapi, and it didnt work, i cant figure it out, i hope someone can help me, but no rush!!

[stable anchor]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[exotic rapids]

Um uh, i deleted smapi, brb ill re get it!

[royal arrow]

Is it maybe too many flowers? 😆

[keen moss]

no

[royal arrow]

lol I appreciate the support Para 😂

[fair vessel]

That is... a bit much for me, yep

[royal arrow]

yea I'm going through them to see if I can turn off some of these 😅 I love the variety, but it is too many

[exotic rapids]

So i had this problem before, someone asked for my log, and i geuss it doesnt work on kindle, i dont have the smapi log file in my sdv folder.

Any solutions?

[royal arrow]

do you mean do mods work on Kindle? I know we can have some mods on Android

!log

[native dragon]

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

[exotic rapids]

They should on kindlr, in the smap i installer there is a thing you download for amazon appstore or something.

[fair vessel]

🤔 can kindle fire install android apps?

Hmm, guess so.

Were you installing the normal smapi? You'll need the smapi for Android port I think

https://github.com/ZaneYork/SMAPI-Android-Installer/releases

[exotic rapids]

Yeah i dosnloaded the smapi android port

[fair vessel]

And did it run properly after installation?

[exotic rapids]

my keyboard is trash, i cant type

Yeah

[fair vessel]

What do you see when you launch the new SMAPI Stardew Valley app?

[exotic rapids]

When i went to install the smapi sdv thing it said it could cause a crash of the harmony something another framework

Its just lauchs likd normal sdv, nothing out of the ordinary

[dire fractal]

oops..

[lapis void]

those go right into the custom critters folder arinyl!

they don't do anything on their own

[exotic rapids]

Heres what it says when i try to install smapi sdv

[dire fractal]

ooooh okay!

Thanks!

[exotic rapids]

My device is running the latest version of fire os or whatever kindles use

[lapis void]

i remember kindles having issues with SMAPI in the past, not sure if there's a fix or not

what happens if you hit confirm?

[dire fractal]

Neat, it works now, no errors!

[exotic rapids]

It just download like it doesnt care

[lapis void]

so have you been able to find your mods folder with it installed and add mods?

[exotic rapids]

In the smapi installer theres a list of mods, oh and yeah i unzipped some mods and put them in the mod folder

[ashen elbow]

I-

I had a dream where i had to update flower valley

[silk stone]

could someone please help me with downloading a mod & stuff?

i've just gotten smapi and installed it on my laptop

[dire fractal]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Getting_Started#Find_mods this wiki page walks you through a lot of the process for finding and installing mods. 🙂

[silk stone]

thank you! i'm just anxious ahaha

[dire fractal]

If you run into any issues on steps, this is a great place for help on specific issues, too. But the wiki is amazing for general steps.

[lapis void]

so what exactly's going wrong when you try to use SMAPI? mods just aren't doing anything? @exotic rapids

[silk stone]

alright, thank you mana <3

[lapis void]

sometimes also a log won't show up until after you've played an in game day and saved, or created a new farm if you don't have any saves yet

[exotic rapids]

I have a couple saves, and yes the mods dont do anything, apparently theres a keyboard mod that comes with, but it doesnt shos up, not exactly sure how its supossed to work

[fair vessel]

A successful smapi install on Android (or Kindle?) should create a second app icon used to launch the game with mods

Oh, if keyboard is showing that's a good sign!

Oh or you mean it's not showing

[exotic rapids]

Its not showing up, Nd yes ther is a second sdv app

[dire fractal]

If it's being launched via smapi (I assume that's still the norm for android) to the point where a save loads up, shouldn't there be at least a stub log or something? 😐

[exotic rapids]

And not nd

[fair vessel]

Are you launching the second one?

[exotic rapids]

Yesm

[fair vessel]

Does a black/orange screen appear when it starts up?

Something like this

[exotic rapids]

No

Is that important?

[fair vessel]

Hm, seems that smapi might not be running then.

I don't know if it's fixable, given the error you got on install

[exotic rapids]

Well it was worth trying

Thanks for the help!

[dire fractal]

Googling around there are some links to people trying to solve kindle/fireos + SMAPI on reddit.

[silk stone]

um i have a question-?

[dire fractal]

Might be some solutions, but I dunno. >_>

Fire away @silk stone !

[silk stone]

ok so

i have downloaded both smapi and the mod of choice

where is the mod folder in sdv?

oh

wait

i'm extremely dumb

[dire fractal]

That'll create itself the first time SMAPI runs, I think.

[silk stone]

it's below the-

smh i'm sorry lmao

[lapis void]

(the wiki page should also tell you where to find that! :P)

[silk stone]

oh i couldn't find it on the wiki page

[dire fractal]

It might be above the subsection I linked, not sure where it explains that bit.

[silk stone]

do i have to do anything after i move it to the mod folder ?

[lapis void]

it's under the section about finding your game folder!

[dire fractal]

For most mods it'll be

• download archive
• extract archive contents to mods/
• done

For things you can configure you might need to launch the game once after putting things in mods/ to generate a config.json file, that you can then edit for choosing settings, but the basic process is the same or similar for most SMAPI mods.

[lapis void]

(also, to hopefully ease your anxiety somewhat: if you somehow mess up and install a mod wrong, in 99% of cases it's not going to mess up your game or your save file at all! the one thing to avoid is mods that ask you to install them by overwriting your game's content folder, also called xnb mods)

[dire fractal]

Also nothing wrong with not knowing a thing you've never done before. Most people in here are pretty nice. 😄

[silk stone]

thank you so much

[dire fractal]

Except @dire fractal 😈

[lapis void]

usually the worst thing that happens is that either a mod doesn't run, in which case your SMAPI log will tell you why that happened and how to fix it, or your game will sometimes crash if something major goes awry but that's usually fixable pretty quickly too and is often the fault of us mod makers :P

[silk stone]

i'm watching a video how to do it i think that will help

[lapis void]

tbh i would maybe avoid video tutorials, most are pretty outdated

we've had people come in here with suuuper old versions of SMAPI they got from old videos, or have weird issues bc they were following an old tutorial

[royal arrow]

yea we definitely recommend reading the wiki, going through the steps, and asking questions if you get stuck

[silk stone]

o

darn

[royal arrow]

This is significantly fewer flowers and still nice

very different color palette, too

[supple echo]

ooo pretty

what mod(s)?

[silk stone]

is extracting a file the same as unzipping it ?

[royal arrow]

That's Garden Grass, More Grass, and Flowergrass and Snowfields (which is a content pack for More Grass)
[Also this is what I'd started with, because I had another content pack for More Grass, Flowering Fields, that I completely removed, although I did also toggle off several of the flowers for Flowergrass and Snowfields] https://discordapp.com/channels/137344473976799233/678284714829807636/757370985753215058

[supple echo]

that is a lot of mods but I do already have More Grass…

[royal arrow]

Flowergrass and Snowfields is 1 mod o:

long title

[supple echo]

I've forgotten what my pretty-grass mod is. I like it, but more variety might be fun

and hey, my SVE save can always use more mods on it right 😄

[royal arrow]

and honestly I'm not sure I'm even seeing Garden Grass, because it's not a content pack for More Grass I'll have to test out toggling it off to be sure

[supple echo]

ahh, I have Wildflower Grass Field

[royal arrow]

btw yea, Garden Grass is completely overwritten by More Grass and the content packs o: so it's really More Grass, and Flowergrass and Snowfields o:

I suppose I'll cheat on Garden Grass 😔 lol

[supple echo]

Garden Grass is cute, but not worth it if I'd have to take out More Grass. I like the flowery pack I have in there

[royal arrow]

Yea I've had Garden Grass since forevers, instead of all the other grass mods, so for me it's a nice change of pace to have even more flowers

[icy owl]

is extracting a file the same as unzipping it ?
I am also wondering this

[silk stone]

according to the i think it is

[icy owl]

Oh lmao i cant see the reaction because my eyes are awful but thank you

lol gl

[icy owl]

Alright so quick question,

I'm on the content patcher in nexus mods, and i can either do a manual download or a "mod manager download". I know what a manual dl is but whats the mod manager one??

[fair vessel]

Yeh. "extract" is a more technical & general term. "unzip" is commonly used slang because the most popular archive format is .zip files

If you have Vortex installed you can use that
No need to bother

[supple echo]

well, if we're gonna be fussy you can only unzip a zip file, but for practical purposes yeah it's the same thing 😄

[silk stone]

i'm unsure how to get the mod working?

[icy owl]

Oh okay I dont think i have vortex so ill just stay safe and do a manual

[supple echo]

Manual install tends to have better results for SDV modding anyway

[icy owl]

Ohhh okay thanks

Good good

[silk stone]

could someone please help me a bit more ?

[supple echo]

what are you trying to do, north?

[silk stone]

idk how to get the mod to activate

i have it in the mod folder and i have smapi

i just don't know what to do next

[supple echo]

can you launch the game using SMAPI?

[silk stone]

how do you do that?

[royal arrow]

north, are you on Windows?

[silk stone]

yes

[supple echo]

run StardewModdingAPI.exe, or… who's got the instructions for setting the Steam launch options

[royal arrow]

did you follow all the steps here? https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Windows

[supple echo]

thank you Lenne 😄

[royal arrow]

(also I made .quote 5049 for the getting started guide it's not the "specific SMAPI on Windows" page, but it's helpful)

[icy owl]

I actually can't find my stardew folder??

[icy owl]

Wait yes

I found it

[silk stone]

just to make sure, to use mods you have to play through smapi and not official sdv?

[supple echo]

yup. SMAPI will launch the game for you and load all the mods in.

the vanilla exe is still there if you ever want to run with no mods though

[icy owl]

How many folders deep can mods go? Is there a limit?

I mean I probably wont go more than one deep but i just want to be sure

[fair vessel]

No limit except that too long of names in a final file path will break due to computer limitations

[tender zodiac]

Hey guys, I’m getting an error when try to install immersive farm 2 remastered, it happens when smapi loads crimson sands.wav

[dire fractal]

is extracting a file the same as unzipping it ?
@icy owl @silk stone to reinforce the emoji reactions, for anything but a technical discussion, unzip, extract, unarchive and decompress are all interchangeable terms, yes. 🙂

[icy owl]

Okay thanks

[silk stone]

i think i got it!! :D

[dire fractal]

!log @tender zodiac

[native dragon]

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

[icy owl]

Yes i am learnding thank you

[tender zodiac]

Yeah

[icy owl]

[silk stone]

bro i'm so happy

thank you all for your help

[tender zodiac]

https://smapi.io/log/e53a7a56efb245b2af203bd465a97362

[fair vessel]

hmm

Does this file exist in your mods folder?
Mods/[CM] Stardew Valley Expanded/CrimsonSands.wav

[tender zodiac]

Yes

[fair vessel]

Exact same capitalization and everything?

[tender zodiac]

Yes

It works fine if I don’t have immersive farms 2 added, only puts out an error when i add that

[fair vessel]

Hmm. Strange.

[icy owl]

I just installed immersive farms 2 and everything is working for me

[dire fractal]

Are you familiar with using a terminal / command line, @tender zodiac ?

[tender zodiac]

Yes

[dire fractal]

Any chance we could get the output of ls -l for Mods/ and for [CM] Stardew Valley Expanded/ on hastebin/pastebin or some such?

[tender zodiac]

Haste in/pastebin?

[dire fractal]

https://hastebin.com/ and https://pastebin.com/ are sites to publicly share big chunks of text.

(Basically trying to save the chat from a flood of ls -l output, plus it would be hard to read in discord)

[tender zodiac]

Thanks yeah I can do that

https://pastebin.com/0qjpRT9K

[dire fractal]

Huh. Well the permissions on the [CM]... directory look fine, but in the directory itself it looks like there's only .json files?

[tender zodiac]

That’s weird, doesn’t show the .wav folder

Files

[dire fractal]

oh is it named .wav and not wav?

[tender zodiac]

Yeah

[dire fractal]

*as in the beginning of the file name is a . ?

[tender zodiac]

In finder it shows crimsonSands.wav

[dire fractal]

hrm

[tender zodiac]

But when I ls it doesn’t show it

[dire fractal]

try ls -al in that directory?

It may be either hidden or have some funky flags set.

[tender zodiac]

https://pastebin.com/Yu7xuCu7

[dire fractal]

._.

So each of those wav files should be ~30+ megabytes, and they're showing as 168 bytes.

[tender zodiac]

Interesting

[dire fractal]

I think those might be icloud backup / sync files instead of the files themselves, possibly?

Is this restoring from a backup or something?

[tender zodiac]

It shouldn’t be, but the folder is located in the desktop which is automatically backed up to the iCloud

So that may have something to do with it

[dire fractal]

You could try playing both of those in anything that can play music, then check ls -al again and see if that 168 changes to something larger.

[fair vessel]

hm, how come your game is installed to Desktop anyway?

[tender zodiac]

That’s where I chose to put it

[dire fractal]

If using the files in a music player once each doesn't change anything, you could try telling icloud to exclude that directory from syncing, (and maybe reinstall that [CM] directory after) and see if that stops... whatever icloud seems to be doing.

[quaint bough]

Im using smapi for some visual mods with content patcher and ui info suite. I wanna use my switch pro controller and whenever I try to use a controller it doesn't work

[tender zodiac]

Thanks for the help, I think that will fix it

[dire fractal]

If it does please lemme know. I've never seen that before so I'm curious. XD

[fair vessel]

@quaint bough try the troubleshooting stuff mentioned here: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#SMAPI_doesn.27t_recognize_controller_.28Steam_only.29

[dire fractal]

is there a mod to edit your farm but with it zoomed out?

cause i already have farm rearranger

but it's hard when you can't see the whole thing

[icy owl]

The cheat console has a zoom out option as part of it

Im pretty sure

[dire fractal]

cheat console is a mod?

[icy owl]

CJB cheats

Is the mod

Sorry if i confused you

[crude flume]

hey mod users, i made a mod! check it out if you want a different combat experience this playthrough, or if you want all the endgame weapons and traits to be unique and usable

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/6894

[tender zodiac]

@dire fractal that did the trick, for some reason the file was uploading to the cloud and it caused problems, thanks for pointing me in the right direction

[icy owl]

COOL, ill check it out

[dire fractal]

Nice! Thanks for reporting back @tender zodiac

(now we know to check O_o)

[remote cedar]

Is anyone here a team member for the Stardew Valley Expanded mod?

I have a permission question regarding the wallpaper to ask

[royal arrow]

FlashShifter#9962 is the mod author for SVE

[remote cedar]

I'd feel bad pinging them for something so small

[royal arrow]

You can also check the permissions for it on nexus

Seems they're responsive to comments on nexus page as well, so you could leave a comment o:

[remote cedar]

I might just do that

Thank you

[outer turret]

Often he checks here too and will respond even without being pinged.

[visual wind]

Hi! How are you? I need help with mods

I want to play multiplayer with some friends and I'd like to install SV Expanded mod. Is it possible to play multiplayer with mods?

[supple echo]

!mpmods

[native dragon]

See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide#Do_mods_work_in_multiplayer.3F for details on how mods work in multiplayer. :)

[supple echo]

For SVE specifically, it should work if you all install it.

If only one of you has it you'll run into problems though.

[visual wind]

Oh sure

and

Imagine that we all install SVE

will it affect other worlds/savings?

[fair vessel]

Only if you open those saves while running mods

You can run the vanilla game or disable some/all mods when you want to play on another save

[dire fractal]

and then only if you save. if you just load them it might look weird but shouldn't hurt anything

[visual wind]

Nice

so

now

haha i'm sorry i know nothing about mods in SV

how do i get to install the mod?

i'll se what i can do

thanks you sooooo much ♥

[royal arrow]

If I'm reading the Automate config readme correctly, I can set all kinds of in-game items as connectors? (I really just want to use "floors" instead of just "paths" )
https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/tree/stable/Automate#configure

[visual wind]

Do you recommend using ModDrop?

[remote cedar]

I recommend using Wabbajack

[royal arrow]

We recommend manual installation, but if you're going to use a mod manager, ModDrop seems to have fewer quirks than Vortex. Some people do use Wabbajack, but it's considered a bit overkill for Stardew Valley, since it was designed with Bethesda games in mind, and SDV modding is rather simple, just putting mods into the Mods folder

[visual wind]

sure

thanks

i don't understand this part

why would i want to do this?

because

maybe i'll play some savings without mods, and other ones with them

so i don't want the game to always be running with mods

[fair vessel]

You can disable mods or create mod groups after if you want

But without doing that, you can't earn steam achievements when you're playing the game with mods

It is optional though, so it's up to you.

[shy orbit]

or use steam overlay

[visual wind]

But without doing that, you can't earn steam achievements when you're playing the game with mods
@fair vessel so, i'd have to do that second part of the tutorial in order to keep on earning steam mods right?

[royal arrow]

(It's also still possible to launch the game vanilla, with no mods, by opening StardewValley.exe directly)

[visual wind]

I'm sorry

i still don't understand something

I install SMAPI, and configure it with steam in order to keep on earning achievements. But how do i turn it off. How do I not play with mods?

[royal arrow]

I mention that in my message above, you can open StardewValley.exe directly o:

[fair vessel]

Or you can rename your Mods folder to .Mods (or anything else actually) and launch through Steam as usual.
It will run with smapi but without any mods.

(which is useful because you get crash logs and stuff)

[visual wind]

Oh surrrrre

thank youuuu ❤️ ❤️

i'm sorry. English isn't my first language so sometimes I don't understand everything

[remote cedar]

Sure, it is overkill

But I made the SDV installer

So I'm a liiiittle biased

lol

[visual wind]

cool

If I don't install Inmersive Farm 2 Remastered

I'll have the basic farm layout

and SV expanded will still work well right?

[fair vessel]

Yup

[visual wind]

yayy

do you know if there's any link to download all the mods required to install SV expanded?

[dire fractal]

There's a setup guide with links to them

https://github.com/FlashShifter/StardewValleyExpanded/wiki/Install-guide

With also helpful troubleshooting and FAQ stuff on the right hand side.

[visual wind]

Sure, thankss

What if I want to download any translation for the mod

I want to have the Spanish translation

should i install it after i install all the other things?

[dire fractal]

If it overwrites files from the main SVE components then I would assume after, but I'd kinda hope the translation mod would have instructions. <_<

[limber crescent]

hello! does anyone know if there's a way to use stumps/logs as decorations

[tawdry blade]

Any mod reccomendations

To make the animal sprites

look better

The goat, cow, and pig are so ugly imo

[mint pawn]

@tawdry blade Elle's Cat/ Dog/ Horse/ Barn/ Coop/ Critter & Butterfly replacements

[limber crescent]

there's also Qute Animals

they make your barn animals look like this (photo taken from nexus site)

[tawdry blade]

Not a fan of the cutsey ones

Elles looks nice

[limber crescent]

yeah, I have elle's

there are also void recolors of all animals including the horse

[mint pawn]

if you use Elle's with adopt n' skin the skins will be randomized everytime you get an animal

[flat shuttle]

Is there a simple mod for adding crafting recipes? I saw it was achievable editing game files but that seemed rough for sharing to my friends.

[deep totem]

@flat shuttle You'll want to use JA framework to add new crafting recipes https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1720 . The documentation is here https://github.com/spacechase0/JsonAssets. I recommend checking mod that add crafting item to see how it works. U can ask in #making-mods-general if u run into any difficulties

[flat shuttle]

Thanks a ton! I want to make bansai pots grow trees and found pfm but then ran into the issue of i didn't want to rely on carpenter shop to get all my pots!

[high vine]

so, i'm finally updating my SVE

wondering if there is a specific config i have to toggle on or off to make it compatible with romancable ras/looking for love..?

[tawdry blade]

@rare quest So, when the Juminos fix the greenhouse

They are fixing the area of where the vanilla greenhouse is

So theyre like fixing over the water/river in the farm where the vanilla greenhouse would be

Instead of the SDVE Greenhouse area

[bright briar]

Does anyone know if Kisakae or Get dressed have been replaced with anything else?

[shy orbit]

get glam for character appearance. it has integration with customize anywhere to give you access to clothes (clothes are items and they don't need a special way to change, you just need some way to get them)

[grizzled sparrow]

henlo, havent checked on modding scene in a while
does custom furniture work for multiplayer or does it still crash?

[gentle glen]

i have red text again i just updated my mods

[ashen elbow]

[umbral grove]

does Deluxe Autograbber still work for anyone else?
it seems to refuse to harvest from plants in the shed in pots, ever.
this is the unofficial update version

...unless it needs the global harvest area set to the shed?

🤦‍♀️

...nevermind it apparently has never worked in thee shed in the first place

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

[umbral grove]

well it recognizes the shed with the setforagerlocation command, but still fails to harvest from pots

it'd be...a god-send if someone could like....maybe fix that

[dire fractal]

hello

can someone help me

i dont get this

[ashen elbow]

i,, i dont get it either, sorry

(good computer background tho)

[dire fractal]

i dont know how to install mods i ;w;

[outer turret]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/276/

It's just a content patcher mod from the looks of things

Put in mods folder and run the game

[dire fractal]

do i make a mods folder or where do i find it,,, im so sorry :”( im just confused

[ashen elbow]

did you install SMAPI first?

[dire fractal]

yes

i also have mono already

[ashen elbow]

so you shouldve run the smapi installer, and it wouldve made a mods folder

the mods folder would be inside your stardew valley folder btw

[dire fractal]

oh i see the mods folder already

so i just put there the folder of the birthday mail mod?

[ashen elbow]

you also need to instal content patcher

but yes

[dire fractal]

okay thank you!

[ashen elbow]

np

[dire fractal]

btw do i just download content patcher and unzip it?

[ashen elbow]

yes

[dire fractal]

ok thanks ❤️

i rlly appreciate it

[ashen elbow]

:D

[dusk gull]

I was looking for Sakorona's dyamic night time for aaaages using the search terms 'day' and 'light' (because I couldn't remember what it was called) and wondering why I couldn't find it 😆

@ashen elbow Where are those birds from? o:

[dusk gull]

I think I saw birds like that in east scarpe by Lemurkat

[oak solar]

heya

actually doesnt matter

lol

[dire fractal]

I hope I'm using BFAV correctly

what happens if u delete the mods like mods for furniture and stuff? will that ruin the game or the furnitures will just disappear :0

Ithink you'll just have weirdly cropped vanilla furniture instead of the modded ones you had! o:

[atomic cradle]

so, im kinda stumped with smapi. i have done the launch option through steam, and it works fine (opens smapi), but when it loads it says something to the effect of steam not recognized/ running. on top of this, i have all the prerequisite mods/ files for SDVExpanded extracted properly in the mods folder where smapi and sdv are installed, but it isnt recognizing them in the smapi console

why isnt it recognizing them or recognizing steam?

also sorry, i just joined this server cause i cant find anything about this online, so hello

[shut violet]

about steam you just need to add smapi to the launch commands in steam as far as i know

this is explained somewhere when you install smapi

about the other issue i don't know

!log

[native dragon]

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

[shut violet]

this may help people to find the reason

[atomic cradle]

i have though, thats the issue

well, one of

[grand lotus]

Have you tried running the StardewModdingAPI application that should now be in your Stardew Valley folder

[atomic cradle]

also ill get back to you on that, im trying to remotely troubleshoot this for a friend

[grand lotus]

And is the result any different then?

[atomic cradle]

same result

[grand lotus]

Weird, I was playing LAN with my girlfriend and Steam didn't even have to be running

But please provide the log

[atomic cradle]

also i should add, maybe it would make a difference, but the windows install is arabic, this caused some issues with the smapi installer so we installed it manually (i think with the way "Program Files (x86) is named)

[grand lotus]

That could definitely be an issue, then

[atomic cradle]

now that i think about it, it probably is the issue aaaaaaa

is there any way to modify its target directory?

[grand lotus]

In your steam/steamapps/common, you can just copy your Stardew Valley folder somewhere else

At least I could still run it, after doing that

So for example here

[atomic cradle]

is smapi aware of its location, then?

or i guess that wouldnt matter

[grand lotus]

It just has to be in the same folder as stardew

But doesn't matter where Stardew is

[atomic cradle]

gotcha gotcha

[grand lotus]

If you want steam integration, hold shift and right click on SteamModdingAPI, and copy as path

Then in Steam in launch options, paste it and add %command% after

For example: "C:\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

[keen moss]

You can also just reinstall SMAPI and it'll give you the path

[atomic cradle]

so we tried to get the log file, but it didnt produce SMAPI-crash.txt or SMAPI-latest.txt

https://smapi.io/log/4417186dcf4d413d80ecd7c5f94df29d

just this

we are currently moving the directory outside of the program files (x86) folder as ruukas suggested to see if that will produce a result

[grand lotus]

Hope it works 🤞 I tested it before suggesting

At least if it doesn't work we'll know that it's not because of the arabic characters

[atomic cradle]

you are a godsend my friend

we are still getting the error
[game] Oops! Steam achievements won't work because Steam isn't loaded. You can launch the game through Steam to fix that (see 'Part 2: Configure Steam' in the install guide for more info: https://smapi.io/install).

but its recognizing the mods now :3

(and yes, we launched it through steam)

[dire fractal]

i wish i can play right now but ughh classes

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/6227 I'm wondering... is there a polyamory mod other than this one? I'm curious and also I'm afraid this one will conflict with the farmhouse redesign mod I use..

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/6005 (this one)

[warm grove]

Heya um... quick thing, for some reason my farm animals were originally fine but I reloaded due to... a glitch... then my farm animals stopped producing consistently. Are saying they are fine after eating grass even, and when they do produce its low quality trash. I do have bfav but I thought a lot of people weren't having problems with it anymore since the unofficial update by mouseypounds??? Log shows absolutely nothing upon startup

[grand lotus]

@atomic cradle Good to hear 🙂

[sharp belfry]

@dire fractal there isn't

[dire fractal]

Damn it c':

[molten rivet]

What was it that u put into this to make mods work? I have them downloaded and I want to use them again

[grand lotus]

You put the path to StardewModdingAPI.exe in your Stardew Valley folder

The path should be surround by quotes if there are any spaces

And then add %command% after

Hold shift and right click

You'll get something like this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe"

Then add %command% so it's "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command% (depending on your installation location)

[fair vessel]

You can also just re-run the smapi installer and it will show the exact text you need to paste in the console.

[supple echo]

@dire fractal there's a mod that changes the "why are you dating us all" event to acknowledge poly-ness—took me a while to find it, it's only on ModDrop now, but here: https://www.moddrop.com/stardew-valley/mods/580660-poly-friendly-events-content-patcher

Accompanying marriage-jealousy-tweaks mod:

Ah yeah I have Keep Your Partners! And I'll look at those two, they seem great!

[coral pike]

any mod for chest management?

[crude flume]

there's one that lets you access all your chests anywhere (chests anywhere)

one that unlocks the color pallet (colorful chests)

another that makes them bigger (mega storage)

one that adds labels that get shown on hover (but you can also use wooden signs for the same-ish purpose) (chest label system)

one that lets you craft from nearby chests and categorize them for fast storage (convenient chests)

hey, I'm having trouble with the harder CC bundles mod with PPJA and wondering if anyone has any ideas how to fix it

[ashen elbow]

what's your problem

[sand zinc]

I've set the config to use PPJA, but the pantry bundle is vanilla

the other bundles (as far as I can see using Lookup Anything) are the PPJA ones

[ashen elbow]

have you completed any bundles before installing the mod?

[sand zinc]

no, this is a fresh game

[ashen elbow]

hmm, well ive never used ppja so im not sure if the pantry is supposed to change or not

[sand zinc]

I've had a look at the assets and content.json and it should, but no clue why it won't

[fair vessel]

@sand zinc can you share your log?

[sand zinc]

https://smapi.io/log/8cf719a0be544aba9766d82c5f27f3f9

[fair vessel]

Hmm. Okay, the mod's edits are applying... we might need a more detailed breakdown.

Can you go into the game again, open the pantry bundle, type patch summary into the SMAPI console and then type patch export Data/Bundles as well?

[sand zinc]

okay

[fair vessel]

Then upload your new log from that, and also share the exported Data_Bundles file that gets created.

[sand zinc]

ahhh. it seems I'm missing some PPJA packs. thank you for telling me how to get that in the smapi console.

it's working now, again, many thanks for your help 🙂

[wary plaza]

i'm far too proud of the sheer amount of working mods i have installed.

does anyone else just feel accomplished when you get a ridiculous amount of mods to all work together perfectly?

it's so satisfying
