(unless you're on the beta version of the game too)

[steel bloom]

things started to go south when smapi recommended me to update to 1.33 with stardevalley beta.

then nothing worked

[shy orbit]

ah, well, it's not really meant for players and a lot of stuff will break with it

[steel bloom]

31.13

3.13

or watever

[upper ember]

Yeaah, the beta is meant for the beta of 1.5.5, for modders to start figuring things out in

[steel bloom]

going to try smapi again

[silver vortex]

hello!

can someone help me 😦

my expanded preconditions utility

the smapi says that the dll wont load

therefore i cant play anything

[old spire]

drop the log

[dire fractal]

same you working on the new beta snake?

[silver vortex]

yes the new beta

what is a log?

[dire fractal]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[silver vortex]

ok ok

[dire fractal]

i can send you a link to a forum post i made but i think the mod needs to be updated

https://forums.stardewvalley.net/threads/unofficial-mod-updates.2096/page-75#post-51081

[orchid vault]

Followed all the steps but Seasonal Wizard Sprites are still over riding it.

Do I just delete the sprites for the wizard in Seasonal Cute Characters?

[dire fractal]

Don’t use the beta for playing the game

Many mods aren’t updated for it

how long does beta period usually last?

cause its the first official implementation of 64 bit which should repair all the memory errors i have been ridden with with my 82 mods XD

[upper ember]

Whenever 1.5.5 is officially released

[shy orbit]

!log let's see this first (you'll probably need to see the wizard on the overworld for it to be useful)

[native dragon]

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

[orchid vault]

I Just looked at the wizard so the log should have what ever you need in it.

lemme get it

[dire fractal]

We don’t usually get betas. This one is for modders to get a head start since a lot of the brackend stuff has changed

ya

going to 5.0 net frame

[orchid vault]

https://smapi.io/log/8c2b1895078f4603a9e4c6ef034fbbab

[dire fractal]

and 32 to 64 is some big changes aswell

[steel bloom]

i removed all mods, and reinstalled smapi, then went on to my farm, jus to see it all misplaced, the greenhouse misplaced and all my crops are out of place, on the basic 1st farm, when my farm was the expanded one.

[dire fractal]

ya cause when you don't load any mods it doesn't place stuff where mods had it

so stuff looks crazy cause the game places things based on a coordinate system

so imagine base game was a 5 by 5 map

and you put something in the center which would be 3,3

then expanded the map to 25 by 25

all of a sudden centered item is now in top left

and lets say you put it in the center now. 13,13

then go back to 5x5

its going to be outside of the map and just hanging out over the border

[steel bloom]

i already starded a new game on the expanded, but it reverted to the basic farm even after i installed the expansion again...

so my game is messed up?

[dire fractal]

your save maybe. but i don't think the game is messed up

if you have expansion and made a new game

[shy orbit]

yeah it seems the seasonal cute characters and seasonal cute characters for sve are overriding it. might need a manifest dependency, which is a bit more tricky to set up

[dire fractal]

your using stardew valley expanded?

[steel bloom]

@dire fractal yeah

[dire fractal]

did you also inglude one of the two map mods either grandpa's farm or whatever the other one is called?

[steel bloom]

it was working great, till today

[dire fractal]

did you update to the new beta automatically by accident?

[dusky canyon]

beta is a no no except for modders

[dire fractal]

cause the new beta for smapi released today i believe

[steel bloom]

i tried to get into teh beta because of all the error messages i was getting today

then it made it worse

[dusky canyon]

revert back

[steel bloom]

lol

[orchid vault]

Well, if it fixes this problem, I'm willing to try anything... but I guess it depends if you want to help me or not. 😓

[dire fractal]

ok i would make a back up of your mods folder. uninstall and reinstall stardew aswell as the current stable version of smapi

[steel bloom]

@dire fractal done that

[silver vortex]

not the beta of smapi?

[dire fractal]

then reimplement the mods you had and see if this fixes your issues. make sure your working on the regular version of stardew?

not monogame?

[steel bloom]

then my farm was reverted to teh basic one with the greenhouse misplaced

regular

[dire fractal]

ok and you made sure that in your mods that you have you added the map mod you originally had?

cause expanded itself isn't a map mod

it has 2 different maps it suggests

grandpa's farm and one other

[steel bloom]

i installed them using mod drop

it installs 10 other things

[dire fractal]

can you show a log?

[shy orbit]

sorry, i can't really do it now because i'd need to download the mods, but you'd need to edit the manifest.json file of the chaekal-rizum mod to have the seasonal cute characters mods as dependencies https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Modder_Guide/APIs/Manifest#Dependencies (other people here will know how to best do it)

[steel bloom]

sure

[dire fractal]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[orchid vault]

Okay... and are you sure I can't just replace the sprites of chaekal-Rizum's mod with the one in Seasonal Cute Characters?

[silver vortex]

should I just not use the smapo beta and the game beta?

[dusky canyon]

don't use the beta.

[dire fractal]

correct

[shy orbit]

if they use the same kind of spritesheets then it works

[dire fractal]

not for playing

[dire fractal]

Yes those are for modders to update their mods

[dusky canyon]

it is only for modders at the moment to update their mods

[dire fractal]

if your using it for testing sure

[orchid vault]

Okay, I'm guessing it would depend on what file type they are?

[silver vortex]

but then

if i wanna play SVE

[dusky canyon]

you don't need beta to play with sve

[silver vortex]

u are saying to use the old versions

ahhh

okay thank ut

my SVE stopped working this morning for no reason

[upper ember]

Just don't update any mods that have updated a version for the beta and you're good

[shy orbit]

that and some other factors

[shadow current]

my sve hasnt been working all day either

[silver vortex]

I have to download everything from scratch 😦

[shadow current]

i literally reset and redownloaded everything i could

[shy orbit]

but if you compare them and they look the same then it should work

[shadow current]

it still doesnt work

[orchid vault]

Just realized that the chaekal-Rizum's uses a .xnb file for the sprites...

[shy orbit]

!unpack

[native dragon]

See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Editing_XNB_files#Unpack_game_files for instructions on how to unpack XNB files in order to edit the assets inside!

[steel bloom]

https://smapi.io/log/f344e5704e794f2abb720a7b1d952b94

[dusky canyon]

@shadow current are you on the beta version of SDV/SMAPI?

[steel bloom]

it somehow installed content patcher beta

[shadow current]

i dont think so no

[steel bloom]

and automate beta

[naive drum]

Oh nooo

[dusky canyon]

hmmm

[orchid vault]

Okay, I'll do that and then replace the sprites, thanks for all the help, I'll let you know if this works.

[dire fractal]

Don’t use the beta no

[steel bloom]

without ordering

[dire fractal]

The beta mods is for beta SDV

[naive drum]

If you're using a mod manager that might be why it did that

[dire fractal]

ya and just as i though the expanded mod is there but you didn't add the map

@steel bloom

[shy orbit]

no problem

[dire fractal]

@steel bloom https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3753?tab=files

you'll find the two map options under this section

[steel bloom]

im going to manually remove them and add the regukar versions

[dire fractal]

the recommended one is grandpa's farm

[naive drum]

Beta sdv changes graphics frameworks and some other under the hood stuff

[upper ember]

I think we need a command or a quote thing to tell people to not use the betas right now

[shadow current]

so how do you fix it if im not using any of the beta versions

[dire fractal]

did your sve update?

[silver vortex]

hello

[orchid vault]

StardewXnbHack and xnbcli seem to unpack the entire game?

Is there an option to only unpack one file?

[silver vortex]

it wont let me share the log link

[dire fractal]

did your sve update? do you have a log? !log

[silver vortex]

https://smapi.io/log/01b9008f1d2e4239bfaaf3fb1f9d7a62

[dire fractal]

I think Pathos was fixing people getting update notifications for beta mods

[silver vortex]

there!

[shadow current]

yeah its updated and everything i believe

[dire fractal]

Should be fixed now

[silver vortex]

pls save me 😦

[dire fractal]

your using the beta smapi

[dire fractal]

Just don’t use the beta…

snakecharmer

[silver vortex]

ok

how do i revert

[dire fractal]

how are you loading your mods into your game? mod manager or manually?

you need to uninstall the smapi version you have

Go to the beta section and uncheck the beta option

and reinstall the current version that isn't beta

And then download SMAPI 3.12

and if you are using a mod manager you need to set it to not update to beta versions of mods

[naive drum]

Who has bot command permissions?

We need a !beta

[silver vortex]

i am using mod drop

i have uninstalled the smapi and the stardew beta

and installed regular smapi

lets hope it works 😦

[dire fractal]

@silver vortex gl

[silver vortex]

thank u for ur help!!

[shy orbit]

xnbcli can unpack individual files, but you can use stardewxnbhack by putting the modded file to the Content folder of the game so it gets unpacked too

[orchid vault]

Yeah I just figured out the xnbcli thing. I'm unpacking it right now.

[dire fractal]

Xnbcli might not work for newer xnb files but I’m not sure if it was updated

[orchid vault]

It gave me a .json file, so I guess I just find the Sprite files for the Wizard in Seasonal Cute Characters and replace them with this?

[silver vortex]

hm more problems aros

[shy orbit]

it's some xnb data probably, it should give you a png file too that is the right file

[orchid vault]

I meant .png, whoops

[steel bloom]

@dire fractal What worked was tho change the version of automate and content patche within the modrop application, then everything came back to normal!!! Thing is, the mod drop sets as default the newest versions of smapi, content patcher and automate, and installs them right away, and content patcher is a critical resource for Stardew Valley Expanded!.

Now everything works

[silver vortex]

guys 😦 my game says "invalid content was removed to prevent crash"

[shy orbit]

it's best to compare the spritesheets first, at least that the one you're replacing the original ones isn't smaller (not sure if it could result in a crash or something in some situations)

[silver vortex]

and none of the sve content is there anymore

[steel bloom]

@silver vortex Mine was the same

[silver vortex]

i just dont understand, it was working fine this morning

[silver vortex]

did u also install the regular smapi and game with the modpack?

thats what Ive done and it doesnt work

[steel bloom]

yes i had to remove all

[orchid vault]

Yeah, I'll make sure they're the same file type, and just in case I'll keep the original sprites in a seperate folder if I need them in the event of a crash, etc.

[steel bloom]

restart pc

then install one by one

[silver vortex]

but did it work

[dire fractal]

You probably don’t need to restart your pc

Haha

[steel bloom]

now its working

[silver vortex]

hm

okay ill try this now

did u uninstall the game??

or the smapi

@steel bloom

[final summit]

reading all this like 👁👄👁 after installing stardew valley beta, smapi 13 beta, and updating pathoschild's mods to the beta ones-

[dire fractal]

You need to revert back to 1.5.4 of the game

[silver vortex]

i have!

[final summit]

looks like i have some uninstalling to do

[dire fractal]

Yes the beta is for modders

To give them enough time to update by the time 1.5.5 comes out

[silver vortex]

but even the non beta is acting sus

[dire fractal]

You don’t wanna play on it

[dire fractal]

Post your log

[naive drum]

and you don't want the beta SMAPI, the beta content patcher, or anything

[final summit]

lol i already couldnt play before instaling this update because PlatoTK not even updated for 64bit

so im stuck either way lmaooo

[naive drum]

pyTK is, platoTK isn't

theyre different mods

[final summit]

yeah thats what I mean, plato. it all looks so similar

[silver vortex]

https://smapi.io/log/4dffbded2fc7479c8002367546c8fe67

here u go!

😦 ive tried everything by now i feel

ive even uninstalled and reinstalled the game

same with the mods and smapi

many times

[dire fractal]

Check the error message in the log

You’re missing a mod

[old spire]

sve

[silver vortex]

it says that but I had installed it

i wil try again

[orchid vault]

I removed the Seasonal Cute Characters sprites for the wizard, added the new sprites... and it's still using the old ones???

[naive drum]

Looks like you uninstallled SVE by mistake. Also you can't have both Grandpa's Farm and IF2R at once iirc

[silver vortex]

i am trying to install sve manually because

mod drop is not installing it for some reason

[shy orbit]

there is also seasonal cute characters for sve that was editing the sprites (and both can have multiple spritesheets they use for the wizard)

[orchid vault]

Ah yes. I thought it might be that I would have to make 4 copys of the New Sprite sheet, each named "Wizard_Fall" "Wizard_Spring" etc.

But that might also work.

[shy orbit]

if the original spritesheets had those names, then yeah

[steel bloom]

@silver vortex both uninstalled

[silver vortex]

oh man i think its finally working after 5 hours!! thank you for helping me guys

[charred trench]

Does anyone know what pack this hair is from? :D

[orchid vault]

Okay, I replaced both versions of Seasonal Cute Characters with the new renamed sprites

Lets hope it works this time

[orchid vault]

There is absolutely NO traces of the Seasonal Cute Characters Wizard sprites...

[native dragon]

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

[orchid vault]

yet the Wizards sprites have not changed.

I have to go, I'll figure this out later...

[shy orbit]

make sure to not forget the SVE variant

[red hollow]

I was wondering if there is a mod that gives you a notification in the morning when there's a birthday

[old spire]

ui info suite has a little icon in the corner

[red hollow]

where in the corner do you mean?

[naive ivy]

building mods that match eemies recolor

??

[old spire]

top right under the day and such

[red hollow]

ahh yea

[sacred marten]

Can someone help me.. I’m using more recipes mod and it’s not got any errors when loading but for some reason me and my farmhand aren’t seeing the same items.. even when we buy items from shops we see different things.. i see the apple as an apple but my farmhand sees the apple as a piece of meat or something lol

[unreal stratus]

Sounds like a

[sacred marten]

Ohh so only an update can fix it then?

[unreal stratus]

https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Json_Shuffle

[sacred marten]

I’ve read it over and over and still don’t see what they want me to do.. I’ve been dealing with this for 3 irl days.. (15 hours of me constantly trying to fix it because we really want to use the mod).

[unreal stratus]

You can sell the affected items and it'll basically be fixed

Wait

[shy orbit]

do you have identical mod folders? i'm not sure though if shop inventories can get messed up anyway (and the items with the already affected ids wouldn't be fixed)

[unreal stratus]

Did you say shop inventory

Need both of your SMAPI logs

[sacred marten]

Yea it’s every recipe in the game even the ones i spawn in

We have the same exact file because she sent me hers

[unreal stratus]

It'll give us more info

On the conditions

[sacred marten]

I also don’t have errors.. can i still send my log?

[unreal stratus]

Yuss

Both so we can compare

[sacred marten]

Ok.. thanks!

[unreal stratus]

[gleaming kestrel]

Hmmm. Anybody got any further recommendations for playing a "modern mage" character? Basically giving the game a more magical or fantastical feel via added items/craftables/crops/etc? I've already got Magic and Mana Bar.

As well as all Gwen's medieval stuff

Nooooo, SpaceChase and Paradigm left???

[tired quartz]

I have the magic tarot card mod installed, it looks like a nice one, I haven't tried it in a file save yet because I'm waiting for the updates for MonoGame 64-bit

[gleaming kestrel]

https://static.miraheze.org/stardewmoddingwiki/d/d5/20210602005800_1.jpg

:O Also can someone tell me what those trees are???

Or, what mod they're from?

[naive ivy]

ples

anyone?

[gleaming kestrel]

Trying to look at what that recolor looks like before I offer anything

Moddrop doesn't want to load for me.

Although I'll just recommend Gwen's medieval buildings out of hand because I love them, lol

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/4542

[sacred marten]

Can i just send mines because she won’t be on for another 2 hours.. or i can send both then of you will still be available to help

[gleaming kestrel]

Plus its customizable! Every building has a couple of variations in style, as well as if you want it "clean" or covered in vines/flowers

[gleaming kestrel]

So I don't think the tarot is for me but OH MY GOD YES I NEED THIS AUTHOR'S OTHER MODS

[unreal stratus]

Send yours for now

It's 1 am over here so I won't be on for another 2 hours haha

But some other people might notice things in your log

And your friends'

[gleaming kestrel]

I'm sure this is a silly question, but I can add something that reskins, say, my fruit trees even if I already have something like a recolor mod?

[sacred marten]

Ahh ok.. I’m going to hurry and send mines tho lol

[gleaming kestrel]

For example: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/8851

[glacial briar]

I swear that page gets more links than any other on the modding wiki.

[glacial briar]

Did anyone link you to the witch recs yet? 😄 @lunar cipher compiled a whole list!

[gleaming kestrel]

Nooooo!

GIB

[naive ivy]

are there any more building mdos u suggest that goes wih the recolor?

[glacial briar]

https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Recommendations:_Witchy_Mods

If you find that list useful, give him a shout. 🙂

[gleaming kestrel]

Yessssss, enable my addiction

[naive ivy]

waaaaa

[glacial briar]

If you want to return the favor and enable others, you can make your own rec list! 😄

It can have a theme or not; up to you.

[gleaming kestrel]

Wait, since SpaceChase left, does that mean things like Magic aren't going to be updated anymore? :(

Or did someone take over?

[glacial briar]

Pathos is in charge of them.

[gleaming kestrel]

Oh thank goodness

[naive ivy]

someone make a rec list on having eemie themed mods

[glacial briar]

Show him your love too. 🙂

[naive ivy]

😭

[glacial briar]

He already gets a lot, but doesn't mean he can't have more!

[gleaming kestrel]

XD

[glacial briar]

You can do it! 😄

[gleaming kestrel]

This entire community would collapse without Pathos

[glacial briar]

I think we'd soldier on. He's been very good about making things open source and providing documentation. But it would be a rough time for a while, that's to be sure.

[gleaming kestrel]

ohgodsomanymods

yesgiveme

imsosorrycomputer

[naive ivy]

i cant even find a good building mod that comes with eemies recolor though, medieval buildings would work but i used it before and now im tired with it😭

[glacial briar]

Don't forget...... a favor now.... for a favor later......
Make a rec list....... 👻

[glacial briar]

Time to go through the whole tag on Nexus and Moddrop. 👍

[naive ivy]

speedrun

[gleaming kestrel]

Yeah, that's how I ended up finding my favorite

[glacial briar]

Or, if you can draw a bit, make your own buildings! If you can do the art, the mod part is actually really easy!

[gleaming kestrel]

Honestly most of my favorite mods are just stuff I randomly stumbled upon

[glacial briar]

We even have tutorials and very ncie people who will answer questions.

[gleaming kestrel]

...until I got here and started seeing all the other mods other people have that I can't live without

[glacial briar]

Yeah, that's about how it goes. 😄

[naive ivy]

i cant draw pixel art and im on a phone

i feel pain

[glacial briar]

Taiyo draws all his art on his phone 😄

[rich hawk]

excuse me for appearing out of nowhere, but that really is the path I took after failing to find a baby mod that I like 😂

[glacial briar]

There's also always libraries, but I accept your reluctance.

[naive ivy]

how can i code the stuff though

[glacial briar]

Why, I'm so glad you asked!

[naive ivy]

ayo

[gleaming kestrel]

God, these furniture mods are making me want to go through and purge mine to start over with them, lol

[glacial briar]

Behold! My baby! https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Main_Page

[naive ivy]

😳

[glacial briar]

Oooh, have you seen Alternative Textures? Everyone is excited because now that it has furniture support a whole new way to add furniture just opened up.

[gleaming kestrel]

I have!

[old spire]

it wont stop updating lol

[native dragon]

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

[glacial briar]

Me, I am eagerly awaiting crop mods for AT.

[gleaming kestrel]

Yesssss

[neon cargo]

hello! i was wondering how i can use the custom map mods?

[glacial briar]

Whole colorful field with just a few crops.... 🤤

Ooh, that sounds like actually helping. I'm out. 😄

[neon cargo]

XDD

[glacial briar]

I'm just here to promote the wiki 😄

[naive ivy]

my brain is becoming small😔

[glacial briar]

....and "bonk" people who think they're dumb because this stuff is weird and can be hard to understand.

[naive ivy]

I DONT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING CALC

[glacial briar]

(Did you try just installing one? Any errors?)

[glacial briar]

I am not Calculus. You may call me Cal or Hey You.

[neon cargo]

yeah i have installed one and there were no errors

[glacial briar]

So what's the problem?

[neon cargo]

im just wondering where i can actually use it

since i dont see the button

[glacial briar]

Whenyou start a new save, pick the map it overrides.

It should say on the page you downloaded it from.

[neon cargo]

o

[glacial briar]

Like "choose the forest map"

[neon cargo]

let me see lol i might be super blind

[glacial briar]

Most mods are easier to use when you read the descriptions 😄

Heh, no worries.

[naive ivy]

cal what category i press for making building mods

[glacial briar]

Tutorials

[naive ivy]

then after that

[neon cargo]

i found it HAHAH okay thank you so much XDD

[glacial briar]

the tutorial that fits what you want to do 😄

[naive ivy]

oka

is repmacing image thing suitable for making a building mod

[tired quartz]

Another one could be fantasy crops. You get to unlock some cool crops by the wizard. I also have devilish horns, you can buy all sorts of horns from the mouse in cindersap forest. I plan on getting married with a pair of big red horns instead of a veil. Then there's festive valley by smolhuman, you can get cool stuff around town the days before, during and after the festivals, like more forage than normal, eggs, you name it. There's also a scrying orb mod if i remember correctly.

[proven dove]

does it matter if you didnt ask the junimo to move out of the abandoned farmhouse

[glacial briar]

Yes! So long as the building you want to replace exists in "vanilla" (normal SDV)

And you can look at how a mod like Elle's Buildings works to see the code in action.

[naive ivy]

ok

wait

[glacial briar]

But I warn you, once you get one mod working you're gonna be like "this was so easy, I could make more...."

[naive ivy]

i found

a mod

[old spire]

dont tempt meee

[glacial briar]

Start by just seeing if you can make the chicken coop a red scribble or something. 😄

[glacial briar]

::tempt tempt tempt::

[charred trench]

starts with one mods, ended up with 147

counted them myself

[naive ivy]

why is it only the sheds

i want this

[gleaming kestrel]

I got into the coding a little bit when I added Lucikiel to Mobile Phone :P

[glacial briar]

We havea page for that too: https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Scope_Creep

[gleaming kestrel]

(Before someone else made and published their own mod)

[glacial briar]

If you're enjoying Luci, tell @stable anchor !

[gleaming kestrel]

Oh I did!

Several times XD

[ember cosmos]

Hey has Custom Furniture been fixed yet?

[gleaming kestrel]

No, and it's looking like it won't be/can't be

[tired quartz]

You spoke the truest truth of Stardew Valley there.

[gleaming kestrel]

XD

[glacial briar]

Alternative Textures is the new thing everyone's excited about for furniture.

[naive ivy]

wait im so stupid, there was a button that shows more of minervas mods

[glacial briar]

Not stupid!

But that is amusing 😄

[naive ivy]

lmfaooo

wait what that mod called that like makes you replace the farm buildings individually

[shell jackal]

What's wrong with custom furniture? Works fine for me

[glacial briar]

https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Known_Mod_Issues

[shell jackal]

Oh. I don't use dressers so never noticedt hat.

[glacial briar]

Lots of them? 😄

[naive ivy]

i recall seeing a mod that does this

like

[glacial briar]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/categories/17/

[naive ivy]

for example i have my farmhouse as medieval buildings but my barn are from enchanted building from ali idk

[glacial briar]

Just poke in the code for those; they're not too hard to understand.

Download a bunch and see what's in 'em

Or do you mean this? https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Configuring_Mods

Oh hey Wingheart, I assume you saw Tia released Host Trees?

[naive drum]

Eemie's dutch farm buildings had a problem with the cabins and only the cabins

ooooh no i didnt

[glacial briar]

I have to assume it is THE mod you've beenw aiting for 😄

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/9002

[naive drum]

nice!

[glacial briar]

I haven't gotten to play with it much yet because I've only just unlocked the dwarf in my current save and am giving all my money to Joja.

But I've got my mistletoe planted!

At least, I think that's what I'm growing....

Since it's @neat violet , you know she did a great job on the ::cough:: plant facts 😄

[naive drum]

nice!
also i gave up on waiting for walk of life, did those 44 mod updates and the smapi update, and added mobile phone and AT

so
737!

[glacial briar]

Nice!

[naive drum]

i still have 13 mod update alerts but theyre mostly fake ones and 1 "smapi.io said to downgrade"

[glacial briar]

Heh. I blissfully ignore updates if at all possible.

[gleaming kestrel]

Wingheart is who we all both aspire to be and fear becoming xD

[naive drum]

there's still people with more mods than me iirc!

[naive ivy]

i have decided to use the eemies victorian buildings

very cool

[hoary musk]

So I disabled the controller option in Expanded Storage figuring that might help but I still get the error in Expanded Storage. I have no idea what the other errors are about.

Log: https://smapi.io/log/1cd3f236d4a64788911c2db3a1055f52

[old spire]

try tossing this file into a json validator C:\Users\Matthew\RiderProjects\StardewMods\ExpandedStorage\Framework\Views\HSLColorPicker.cs

[hoary musk]

tossing? As in removing it?

[old spire]

no just casually testing it there

[hoary musk]

I don't have that file

[shy orbit]

(that file would be in the source of the mod before it's compiled, it's not in the released mod)

[old spire]

anything like it?

ah

dangit

[hoary musk]

I did let the mod author know in his discord

[old spire]

i know nothing

[hoary musk]

If it has something to do with color picker then I could disable it. That still leaves out what the other errors mean

[naive drum]

oh NO i already had mistletoe

host trees and forage of ferngill both add mistletoe

(removing one is simple but yeah went to load my save, hello extremely large number of errors!)

[hybrid moat]

hi everyone can anyone help me? i am new to modding and tried to update my mods and smapi and now it cant find the game. I tried trouble shooting but im still struggling 😢

[naive drum]

got a screenshot of your "can't find game" message?

also which smapi and mod versions are you using

[sacred marten]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[hybrid moat]

yes one second! thank you!

https://smapi.io/log/e06e975f589c4dfb8915a458fd725b06

[naive drum]

you need to go down a content patcher verison

you have the beta version, which is for the beta smapi, which is for the beta stardew, which is only for C# modders so they can prepare for the framework change

we really need a !beta command

[hybrid moat]

this is where im struggling installing smapi

[naive drum]

you don't want that SMAPI!

it can't find stardew because it's looking for the beta stardew which you don't want!

[hybrid moat]

ohhhhh

gotcha

[naive drum]

don't get the beta stuff!

[glacial briar]

Did you get an error or are you worried in advance? I don't know if Tia took that into account.

[naive drum]

i got JA-typical errorspam

[glacial briar]

Booooooo.

Send her a note.

[naive drum]

i went and deleted forage of ferngill mistletoe, it'll be fine

its already been reported

[hybrid moat]

so i downloads 12.2 and now steam wont open stardew at all

[naive drum]

weird

got a screenshot?

[hybrid moat]

let me get the smapi code again i thought I fixed it but I think when i was trouble shooting i caused more problems

https://smapi.io/log/a7bd2a39ba964499ac8bfd6c9c1f5611

thank you so much for the help too!

[naive drum]

that look looks fine

[hybrid moat]

like everything ~seems ~ fine but none of the buildings are working in expanded :/

[naive drum]

huh

[hybrid moat]

like the new npcs and new buildings arent in the gasme

[naive drum]

double checking it looks like you managed to install only part of SVE

somehow?

[hybrid moat]

hahahah oh god

[naive drum]

which i guess would involve going into the SVE folder and only putting some of the subfolders in

and somehow managing to get exactly the right subset to get 0 errors in your log despite only having half the mod

[hybrid moat]

can I delete the whole mod and re install do you thinK?

[naive drum]

yep that should work

[hybrid moat]

So that didnt work but i have to take a break from trying to fix bc im getting mad

thank you for all of your help i really appreciate

[gleaming kestrel]

Why

did you have to tell me that something like Forage of Ferngill existws

and also Host Trees

[candid delta]

Hi, i was wondering if there's any mods that allow us to warp directly to an NPC location? say for example if elliot is currently on the bridge, we can directly warp next to him. is there such a mod?

[outer turret]

there's a deubg command

debug wtc Elliott

just type it in your smapi console

[candid delta]

does it also work on custom npc? as long as i spell the npc name correctly?

[outer turret]

yes but be warned that sometimes the custom npcs might not have the anem you think they have

like npcchelsea for example

[candid delta]

in that case, is there a way to check their respetive name for this purpose?

[gleaming kestrel]

Anybody have any custom farmhouse interior maps to recommend? Minus Seasonal Farmhouse V2?

[ruby arch]

Hi! I haven't played Stardew in a year or so so I've got a ton of mods to update. I updated SMAPI, ran the game once to generate a log, and used the log parser to get a list of my outdated mod. But the list includes a couple mods I don't have, like CustomMusic and Farm Type Manager. Do you know why it would show those?

[gleaming kestrel]

Because you do have them.

Do you use SVE?

[ruby arch]

ohh i forgot I had that one, I didnt realize there's more mods in subfolders

[gleaming kestrel]

I know SVE includes CustomMusic by default, and Farm Type Manager is a necessary framework for a lot of mods.

Yeah, the larger mods often will just bundle everything into a single folder with the mod name

[orchid vault]

I'm back, and I went into both versions of Seasonal Cute Characters. Went into Assets > Characters > Wizard, and replaced all the sprites there with the new ones.

The old and new sprites are all PNG files.

[vague cove]

why does the map show grandpa's farm map when i have if2r?

for sve

[orchid vault]

But it still stays the same

[naive drum]

I recently downloaded SVE and was wondering if i needed to download grumpleton forest to visit the NPC’s that live there.. im new so idk

[gleaming kestrel]

Grampleton Fields is a separate area to the east of Pelican Town

The SVE npcs live in the western forest so you're fine

[sacred marten]

Ohh ok because during a cutscene for Sophia i met a new NPC named scarlet.. she said her and her grandpa (whom i haven’t met yet) lived there. SVE just updated so i wasn’t sure if i needed to add it… otherwise how would i visit scarlet and her grandpa?

[upper ember]

Grampleton Fields is a.. farm area, I believe? It's extremely laggy and isn't needed for the main story of SVE

Otherwise it wouldn't be optional. I don't think you can visit them

[gleaming kestrel]

Yeah, Scarlet is just a side character for Sophia's story

[outer turret]

she does visit though

[sacred marten]

Ohhh okay bummer.. hopefully she’s added in the future.. i liked her lol

[outer turret]

garmpletonn fields is a VERY large sandbox map area for people who like that kinda thing

[gleaming kestrel]

I believe there are eventually plans to add towns like Grampleton and whatever the wasteland town is?

[outer turret]

I'm making a smaller sandbox are (really just a mini farm) with East Scarp for people who like to sandbox but are put off from the lag of Grampleton

Castle Village first.

Someone else might make Grampleton

[sacred marten]

Ok nice.. i look forward to downloading your mod! 🤩

[outer turret]

i making my own o ne into a memorial garden with heaps of flowers

[gleaming kestrel]

Yeah, Grampleton was just too huge.

I didn't even lag, it was just the sheer size of it

[outer turret]

I made a corn maize in Town east once.

but 1.4 killed that save

[gleaming kestrel]

🇫

[outer turret]

well it didn't kill it, it killed my rabbit hutch (they were BFAV bunnies) so I restored a back up version

but lost my corn maze in the process

[gleaming kestrel]

Oh yeah

Still gotta get BFAV and way too many animal mods for it :D

[ionic imp]

Hello. I need help, Maybe some of you want to help me find the version of the app ( Patcher, PyTK - Platonymous Toolkit, TMXL Map Toolkit, Farm Type Manager, Json Assets, Spacecore, and Winter Grass) For SMAPI version 3.7.6.9 android of course.

[alpine wolf]

I have a question regarding content patcher mods, maybe someone more familiar with it can answer. I have a mod that replaces every NPC's sprite with another. I have another mod that I would like to use in conjunction with that, but it changes the sprite/dialogue as well for some NPCs. Is there any way to for the first mod to still function for the other NPCs but for the 2nd to still work as intended? Or is that just not possible?

[boreal barn]

I hope I understood the question right.

1. If there is no config to turn off the sprites, then you could open up the content.json file of the other mod and either comment out or delete the part where it replaces the sprites. It will look like:

            "Action": "EditImage",
            "Target": "Portraits/Bear",
            "FromFile": "assets/secret_bear.png",
            "FromArea": { "X": 0, "Y": 0, "Width": 128, "Height": 128 }, 
            "ToArea": { "X": 0, "Y": 0, "Width": 128, "Height": 128 }
}```
Remove these kind of blocks for whichever NPC you want. For portraits, the ones with Target: Portraits/NPCName is your main target. For character sprites, Characters/NPCName. For dialogue, Characters/Dialogue/NPCName

2) If you want the second mod to replace the parts of first (or vice versa), add dependencies so that the replacing one will load later. Or you could rename the mod folders so that the replacing one comes later.

[sacred marten]

Hi.. is there someone available to look at me and my friends log to see why our more recipes codes aren’t matching up? Like, I’d have an Appel and i see it as an apple but on my friends screen they see it as an orange It’s like that with every recipe

[orchid vault]

Took me WAY TOO LONG to figure this out, but I had to basically delete anything that had the word "Wizard" in the Seasonal Cute Characters mod (Both versions) and the Custom sprite FINALLY LOADED!

Wouldn't have been able to get to this point with out you, thanks man!

[rotund river]

i think it has to do with Json suffle which is not fixable.

[sacred marten]

Damn.. will there be an update soon to fix it?

[rotund river]

no idea.

[gleaming kestrel]

https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Json_Shuffle

Basically unless Pathos picks up JA2, no, there won't be an actual "fix".

Just workarounds.

[wooden wing]

anyone who can help me properly install portrait mods?

[gleaming kestrel]

Sure, where do you need help?

[wooden wing]

well i did what it said install portrait into the mods and then the files into it, then hit P

i did it but the files show but the images dont change

[gleaming kestrel]

Okay, so you have Portraiture, and inside Portraiture you have a folder called Portraits, right?

And inside "Portraits", you should have more folders, each one labeled with whatever set of portraits it is:

[wooden wing]

yes

[solemn flume]

how do u get the cottagecore mods? ( i've never used mods before so how do i get them? )

[gleaming kestrel]

Do you have any other mods that might affect portraits?

[wooden wing]

no

[sacred marten]

How would we work around it?

[tired brook]

(I do plan to look into the Json Shuffle issue, it's just been sidetracked by Stardew Valley 1.5.5.)

[wooden wing]

i had it work before but a new mod i installed crashed everything but i havent had to set it up in like a year so i forgot how

[gleaming kestrel]

Should be as easy as putting the folders with the portraits inside the portraits folder, so far as I know

[gleaming kestrel]

The page talks about selling the screwy items, but I don't know if that'll solve it. And then of course just making sure you aren't adding/removing JA mods in the middle of a game.

[gleaming kestrel]

Are you asking how to get mods in general?

[solemn flume]

mhm

[wooden wing]

i can screenshare if u want

[gleaming kestrel]

Nah, that's okay. Does your folder look like mine?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/678284714829807636/878128977586323486/unknown.png

[upper ember]

If it says CP then it can be installed in the mods folder normally, however, the DCBurger ones for CP seem.. buggy. I couldn't get it to work and had to use the portraiture version

[gleaming kestrel]

You'll probably also need to take whatever folders are in the third one down out.

If they're still inside the folder with all the numbers (the unzipped folder) they likely won't get read.

[naive drum]

yeah i dont think portraiture handles nested folders well

[vague cove]

i installed if2r for sve but in the map tab, it displays the grandpa's farm layout

[naive drum]

i think its just not applying that patch, with how oftne thats come up

i dont use sve

[vague cove]

it just makes the map kinda confusing bc the farms are completely different

[azure seal]

Is there a way i can force grandpa's shed to be complete in SVE? I put the materials in but Robin doesnt seem to be fixing it

[vague cove]

i'll just ask on nexus but thanks anyway

[gleaming kestrel]

Anybody here use the Professor Jasper Thomas mod?

[glacial briar]

You two need to have exactly the same mods installed with exactly the same configs to avoid this.

[sacred marten]

So if we delete everything and have exactly the same everything will it fix?

[vague cove]

i found out it was a recolor mod. i just had to adjust the config.json to immersive instead of grandpa's farm

[outer turret]

well I wrote it so can help with questions but if it's "how good is he" then I"m biased

[gleaming kestrel]

Lol you actually already answered my question when I remembered I could just tag you

!log

[native dragon]

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

[outer turret]

aha. The farm cave. Mine adds a hot pool and a short cut to the mines (once youv'e befriended Dwarf)

[gleaming kestrel]

Although I can tell you just from the pic you're missing the mods required by that mod.

You have to have Content Patcher, TMXL, and Mail Framework

[frozen marlin]

I guess i did something wrong because i have those mods

Thank you for the link, ill go to that

Is downtown zuzu safe to use?

[glacial briar]

Only reason I've ever heard of it not being "safe" was when it broke some custom NPC paths. XD

Dunno if those have been fixed yet.

Wait, maybe that was Walk to the Desert?

I am not a good resource 😄

What did you mean by "safe"? Anything on Nexus is fine.

Though we do have this page: https://stardewmodding.wiki/wiki/Known_Mod_Issues

[dire fractal]

Oh boy, seeing that new Beta for Stardew is making me wonder if the game will also like, have better loading times and also be less confusing cause my friends really don't wanna go re-download the linux version to do 64 bit

My only obstacle is waiting for the mods to get updated...hopefully.

[naive drum]

should be much less confusing

and hopefully less loading time, esp after people update their mods so SMAPI doesnt need to do so much rewriting'

[dire fractal]

God I hope, just wanting to make sure the mods update first though, although something tells me that's gonna be a good bit

Cause Stardews 64 bit code was like, re-written right?

hello! smapi doesnt work on my mac

do i have to download NET 5.0 instead?

[broken acorn]

whats this file

[gleaming kestrel]

THis is one I'm not familiar with. What's it mean?

[true dock]

.DS_Store files are artefacts left in folders on Macs that the system uses to save layout info. They're hidden by default so they appear in all sorts of shared folders, and you can ignore them no matter what system you're using

[broken acorn]

ty

[naive drum]

you might want to delete it though if you're on windows since window does nothing with them and it'll just sit there taking up space

[gleaming kestrel]

Any idea why Immersive Spouses is telling me it requires SVE?

[dire fractal]

hey all. im using SMAPI on mac and once i get it running it runs perfectly. however it can be really hard to get it to actually start successfully. i often get infinite beach ball mouse. restarting doesnt help. (also it may be relevant that im using an m1 mac)

https://smapi.io/log/0632a053f848401c864c6ade711e762a

[dire fractal]

oh ok ty

[muted pagoda]

you could try going back to smapi 3.1.11

if you dont have anything that needs the latest

one other thing I heard someone say is opening it via 'rosetta', whatever that means also bypasses the bug

[naive drum]

pathoschase tsunami of beta updates

[dire fractal]

Does anyone know how to fix a broken save after stop using mods??

[neat plaza]

broken in what way

[dire fractal]

When I try to enter my old save the game restarts, I can play other saves but that no

[neat plaza]

what mods did you have?

[dire fractal]

Stardew Valley expanded

[naive drum]

Load it with SMAPI and without SVE

it probably has custom NPC and location data in the save file itself; SMAPI can handle removing this, but the vanilla game can't

[dire fractal]

okayy

[sick cave]

quick question about 1.5.5 and SMAPI 1.13 betas - will they affect my different saves in 32 bit and 64 bit? i've been using 32 bit recently and haven't updated the mods in my (currently separate) 64 bit folder for a while, but they both used different mods for different gameplay styles - will i have to abandon this and use the same mods for every save?

[shy orbit]

you shouldn't get the betas, they are mainly for modders and would break a lot of things in all likelihood. i'm not sure if i understand the question correctly, but after 1.5.5 is released in the non-beta channel it's still possible to use different mod setups for different saves, say with mods 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

[sick cave]

that's perfect, thank you!

i moved to 64 bit for one save because it was crashing with oom errors on 32 bit, so should i keep it separate for now until 1.5.5 is non-beta? and then, once it's all tested and ready to go, move the mods into their separate groups?

[sick cave]

okay so just opened the game (nothing updated past 1.5.5 or smapi 1.13 beta) and was greeted by this --

I'm really hoping someone here can help me, I've been having tonnes of issues with SDV for the past few days. Get numerous red errors on my smapi log and the game freezes, so i cant progress past day 18 in winter. Feels like groundhog day lmao

ive attached my smapi log, if anyone can have a look for me that would be greatly appreciated!

https://smapi.io/log/f20b87bb0f6647b484c72c724ac93ee9

just for some background info; I had been getting out of memory errors the day or so before, so i removed a few mods to make the game run. None of the mods seem major enough to impact the games ability to run. Mods like winter crops, automated gates, NPC portraits.

[dire fractal]

does anyone have any reccomendations for a farm layout mod

[final patrol]

look at the farm designs group chat, people post layouts in there all the time

🙂

[chrome cosmos]

looks like theres something wrong with one of your fish ponds?

cant tell what it is tho x.x

[outer turret]

@final patrol unfortunately removing small mods isn't going to help much - SVe and RSV are your main contributors to OOM. You can maybe get a little more memory bu going int theitbrespectivr [CM] content.json and changing all preload to "false"

[final patrol]

I cant live without them 😭

[outer turret]

Then try 64 bit.

[final patrol]

Yeh i noticed that, super confusing

[outer turret]

That might be cos you removed something it needed.

[chrome cosmos]

would you mind zipping up your save folder and sending it here?

i could take a look

[final patrol]

i was under the impression that 64 bit was a little glitchy

[chrome cosmos]

64-bit has some issues but its working pretty well on my end, but you kinda dont need it now? with 1.5.5 happening soon ™️

[outer turret]

It is. But it's that or sacrifice rsv or sve until 1.5.5 is released.

I'm trying sve atm with 220 mods and I cam play no more that 2-3 days consecutively.

If it allows you to play a full day before ooming then restart a lot I guess?

[final patrol]

Im living in a fantasy world unfortunately where i think i can keep both mods and not have 64

thank u guys for ur help btw! very stressful when SDV goes a lil awol

But I'm also working on my own project/s

[final patrol]

i meant that in a non sarcastic way btw

[outer turret]

I didnt hear sarcasm!

[final patrol]

oh exciting stuff! i am a fan of ur content 🙂

In hindsight downloading both RS and SVE was probably not the wisest, but i got a lil greedy after finishing my first playthough

[sick cave]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/7332 I use this one!

[sick cave]

is anyone able to help with this? i haven't moved to smapi/SDV1.5.5 beta yet

[outer turret]

You have one of my mods?

[final patrol]

I do! Mister Ginger is my fave

[outer turret]

My first npc

[final patrol]

I attempted to download East Scarpe but i had tonnes of errors, which now that i think about it, they were probably our of memory errors

[outer turret]

Or you didnt have daisy niko tilesheets.

That's the common one. Itll be a hard dependency soon.

[final patrol]

I have that, but i also had more mods than i do now

including RS and SVE

so i suspect it was probably the memory

[outer turret]

Yeh oom would happen.

That's why one playthrough one big mod.

It's a pain switching between them though.

[final patrol]

Im learning the hard way unfortunately haha 😭

[outer turret]

Enable sve. Disable sve incompatible folder...

Reverse process when working on my own

[final patrol]

I saw someone do a review on East Scarpe on youtube, it looks really cool!

i swear i spend more time messing around with updates and smapi logs than i do actual gameplay

Really looking forward to the 1.5.5 update though! will be a massive game changer

[outer turret]

Haha it broke everything.

East scarp is getting a lot more content.

My mods together form a sort of decent sized expansion

[final patrol]

Yeh, wont be downloading it any time soon until the coast is clear.

Definitely!

[outer turret]

Until then I guess play one day at a time.

[final patrol]

What are you planning on adding to ES if you dont mind me asking? NPCs, crops, events etc?

[final patrol]

any luck?

[chrome cosmos]

not really ;-; my editing program keeps lagging when i try to edit anything but

[outer turret]

Two temp npcs, another permanent, one crop, special orders, more antisocial npcs... custom companions and a couple of other mod makers are doing stuff

[chrome cosmos]

do you have a fish pond that has 4 fish in it rn?

or 3?

[final patrol]

I have 2 fish ponds, one maxxed out with Sturgeon and another that has i believe 3 out of 4 radioactive bass from SVE

[chrome cosmos]

okay, would you be able to launch your save, empty the sve pond and demolish it?

[final patrol]

that is super exciting!

[chrome cosmos]

because thats the one thats causing the issue i believe

[final patrol]

including deleting the radioactive bass? Will hop on now 🙂

[chrome cosmos]

yes please! let me know what happens :)

[chrome cosmos]

cjb item spawner should do the trick

[royal willow]

😭

this is cheating but isok

[final patrol]

god i love that frog meme

[royal willow]

pepe

[final patrol]

I guess you could argue lots of mods are cheating though

thats it

[royal willow]

true

[final patrol]

dw you get over the dirty feeling after a while 😆

[royal willow]

30hrs playtime in like 2 days

[final patrol]

HAHAH big mood

have you tried CJB Cheats menu mod?

[royal willow]

nah not yet

[final patrol]

priests dont make enough holy water for the cleansing i needed after using that the first time

[royal willow]

[final patrol]

you can warp to so many locations

speed up ur walk, pause time

[royal willow]

ima stay away from those mods

[final patrol]

so very convenient but oh so wrong

i was once like you, and yet

here i am.

lmao

is this ur first playthrough?

coz if so, 100% dont download

[royal willow]

yea

im gonna uninstall after im done with the bundle thing

to repair the bus

[final patrol]

im crying

what in gods name.

lmao

[royal willow]

ayo spoiler

[chrome cosmos]

OH LMAOO

no wonder you had 1000 errors xD

[final patrol]

HAHAH im so confused

theres something up.

[chrome cosmos]

its a json shuffle

[final patrol]

my flow hives have dyed fleece instead of honey

[chrome cosmos]

if you wanna add/remove JA mods, make sure to empty fish ponds that have JA objects

and machines too

[final patrol]

good lord i spent 1 hour yesterdat trying to get rid of the shuffle items yesterdat only for the game to crash

[dire fractal]

I couldn't imagine playing SV without mods anymore.
Automate is a lifesaver. You just have to find a balance. Maybe don't craft 200 kegs for your Ancient Fruit Greenhouse but keep it to like idk 10.

[final patrol]

i emptied my fish pond, RIP sweet little mushroom tea bag

[royal willow]

how do i open it

[dire fractal]

Press I in game

[final patrol]

literally no idea what caused the shuffle, i dont believe i removed any mods that would have done it

[royal willow]

thnx

holyy these are a lotta items

[sick cave]

hello.....helb,?

[chrome cosmos]

have you added any? or updated any recently? :o

[dire fractal]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[final patrol]

i had, but that was before i had the 1954 errors 😆

[chrome cosmos]

ah

[final patrol]

fish pond went bye bye

i will try to sleep now

fingers crossed

[sick cave]

this is the most recent log i have but it's from yesterday i think https://smapi.io/log/5f10e18396bc4572bd51ea2d6b5b5b4e

[chrome cosmos]

🤞

[sick cave]

haven't been able to make a new log because the game won't load, so no new smapi-latest.txt

[final patrol]

ok so that worked!

every time ive gone to sleep thats when ive been bombarded with the 1900 errors

and none this time

[dire fractal]

Did you make any changes to the game since yesterday?

[chrome cosmos]

wooo! thats good to hear

[sick cave]

i started to change to the beta updates but didn't get any further than downloading the zip folders. other than that,, i added vyranity's bread and updated magical family? but that's about it

[dire fractal]

The beta is for modders

[sick cave]

i haven't removed any mods or even files from the folder but ref and runtime has been added

[dire fractal]

If you are a casual player use the previous version

[final patrol]

it is! im out of the nightmare loop that was 18th of winter lmao

thank u so much for ur help

[sick cave]

yeah, so i didn't download it! i had the zips but read up on it some more so didn't go through with it

unless maybe i accidentally added a beta mod? hm

[dire fractal]

Ok. Overread that part my bad

Maybe try reinstalling the base game and smapi?

[chrome cosmos]

uninstall smapi (run the installer, and uninstall) and then reinstall it, if it doesnt work, try installing smapi manually by following the instructions in the README in the smapi folder

you can also try this

!reset

[native dragon]

See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#Reset_your_content_files for instructions on resetting your game files! (This doesn't affect your save 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 :)

[sick cave]

okay thank you! will try those ❤️

[final patrol]

@chrome cosmos just confirming, you have the 64 version and that runs alright?

[chrome cosmos]

yep! currently on 367 mods

[final patrol]

i know that with the 1.5.5 update coming it'll be redacted but idk how long thatll take

wow! ok i have faith then

[chrome cosmos]

CA said it'd be sometime in fall, so not sure how far away it'd be

[final patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/calculating-puzzled-math-confused-confused-look-gif-14677181

me thinking in Australia weather

fall is September onward right

[chrome cosmos]

LMAOO true, your weather works differently

yep!

[final patrol]

seasons

not weather lord i am tired

it does and boy is it confusing

I'm still sad its grossly hot here for christmas and not snowy

doesnt feel right with all the winter based music and food

lmao

so side track of a side track

but

[sick cave]

omg 🤦‍♂️ i opted into beta on steam, that was causing the issue. sigh. thank you! wouldn't have noticed that without the reset advice

[final patrol]

I've noticed some US youtubers mention that mid august is considered Autmn

[chrome cosmos]

thats good to hear!

[final patrol]

and look im not a meteorologist but that doesnt sound right

[chrome cosmos]

it really doesnt i consider september -november fall :p

[final patrol]

i was under the impression that a season started at the beginning of a month

ahh well. maybe it was a fever dream 🧐

Is it still hot in the US?

assuming you are based there

[chrome cosmos]

oh im not in the US im middle eastern

so its summer all year round where i am :p

[final patrol]

Not sure if im jealous or not 😂

in terms of climate

[chrome cosmos]

(you shouldnt be its hot AND humid)

[final patrol]

yeh yuck to the humidity

Luckily Melbourne is relatively dry

Also without sounding tone deaf, i hope you're safe atm and arent affected by whats happening in Afghanistan 😭

im not sure exactly where youre based

[errant hornet]

Interesting

[final patrol]

AMERICA EXPLAIN

[chrome cosmos]

im nowhere near it at the moment but thank you <3

[final patrol]

glad to hear

@chrome cosmos @errant hornet also i dont wanna throw shade here but according to google summer in the entire northern hemisphere starts on the 21/6 and finishes 22/9

😎 explain

[chrome cosmos]

i mean, it kinda makes sense for america but seasons are weird over here

[final patrol]

im sure im just in another one of my ADHD deep dives but in case anyone cares

"The simple answer is that this is the convention. However, this convention is based on the observed changes in temperature (up or down) during the year. In Australia the hottest time of year is usually around the middle of January and the coldest about the middle of July. So these are considered the MIDDLE of summer and winter not the START. Obviously the northern hemisphere will be 6 months different.
It is crazy to use the solstices and equinoxes as the start of seasons as they are the middle of the solar seasons not the start. If you used the solar dates, seasons should actually start about 45.6 days before each solstice or equinox. Hence seasons should start on the 6th or 7th of November, February, May and August (winter, spring summer and autumn in the northern hemisphere and summer, autumn, winter and spring in the southern hemisphere). We know that it takes longer for temperatures to peak and trough than the peaks and troughs of the sun so it is much more convenient and sensible to use the 1st of June, September, December and March as the start of the seasons."

lmao

quoted by a professor of a university here in QLD

[dire fractal]

We just call August till early September "Spätsommer" (Late Summer)

[final patrol]

brb, googling Spätsommer

ahh

Germany?

[dire fractal]

Yup.

[final patrol]

look at us all, just a mixed bag of countries here

alas i must head off to bed

[errant hornet]

Good night

[final patrol]

apologies to anyone here wanting to talk SDV and having to witness my deep dives

thanks

[thorny crystal]

Does anyone have some fun dialogue mods that are compatible with SVE?

[dire fractal]

im having a few issues involving maps

[tired quartz]

Good afternoon! Since I have to wait for the beta version for some of my mods I decided to occupy my time by creating a spreadsheet to track the beta-updated mods.
I'm leaving the link here, I finished editing it a few minutes ago, I'll keep it updated when new updates come out. Everyone should be able to open it without any issue.

[shy orbit]

it's missing TMXL Map Toolkit: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1820

[dire fractal]

fek that mod makes mail repeat endlessly but thanks

[shy orbit]

hm, never heard of that happening with it

[dire fractal]

it might have been tmx not tmxl but tbh i cant remember

[calm peak]

Under experience bars you have the extended reach link

[ember carbon]

i downloaded longevity mod and crops seem to be non existent....

[tired quartz]

Thank you! I totally missed it

[ember carbon]

like are they year 2 or something or year 3 etc

[calm peak]

no worries

[ember carbon]

bcz im 99% sure longevity mod adds crops on top of the taxes and stuff

[tired quartz]

in the description page it says they removed the more crops mod part

[ember carbon]

oh

[calm peak]

oh man, i tried jumping into the 64bit beta and so many mods are broken.. haha

what is it about the dlls that keep it from loading... is it a simple fix that a developer just has to change or are they more involved?

[tired quartz]

I feel you, I have SVE, Ridgeside and boarding house, plus a whole lot of mods that add new content, new crops, almost nothing is working atm

[calm peak]

im just curious because when i switched to the unofficial 64bit a while back, all the mods worked fine?

so what did CA change that causes the difference?

not a coder, so i guess any real explanation would go over my head anyway

lol

[tired quartz]

I don't know, I know that I had to install .net 5 to make the 64-bit work. As I understood it, there will be a switch from the old XNA 32-bit system to the new MonoGame 64-bit. The first one is a discontinued framework for games and the second one is his substitute, but it keeps being updated. That's what I got from Pathoschild's patreon post, the internet, quora and the post in Stardew Valley forum by CA. I could have missed something though, I'm not (yet) a developer

[royal arrow]

Giulia shared the links to the messages from CA and Pathoschild, in case you haven't seen these yet
From CA: https://forums.stardewvalley.net/threads/important-announcement-for-modders-stardew-valley-64-bit.8669/

This announcement is from Pathoschild, god of SDV modding: https://www.patreon.com/posts/55035968

But I don't know any of the technical details

[calm peak]

Based on this, it would seem any Mod that has a dll needs to be reformatted...

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Migrate_to_Stardew_Valley_1.5.5

oh man, there are quite a few legacy mods where the OG mod authors have gone silent...

we might end up needing a slew of people to reconfigure old mods where the OG Authors disappeared...

[tired quartz]

And say goodbye to those that aren't opensource...

[tropic needle]

is sve good?

can i like choose to have it on only one save?

[worthy moth]

You'll have to use modgroups

!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

[royal willow]

is there a mod for using sprinklers on beach farm

[runic cobalt]

Yep @royal willow

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/7319

[royal willow]

thx bro

[tired brook]

SMAPI rewrites mods for compatibility, so most mods should still work fine in Stardew Valley 1.5.5. Once I'm done with the initial wave of mod updates, I'll be retesting SMAPI mods to (a) add their beta status to the compatibility list, and (b) see if any broken mods can be fixed with more rewrites in SMAPI.

(Keep in mind the beta is still very new, so mod compatibility is a work in progress.)

[tired quartz]

Thank you for your work! And remember to get some sleep if you're able to :p

[calm peak]

so basically smapi would interpret the formatting changes that were not made and account for that when loading the mods to preserve compatibility?

kinda like a middle man translator?

sorry for the dumb questions, not a coder, just curious

[tired brook]

Yep. SMAPI already does that, which is a large part of why 80% of SMAPI mods still work despite many never being updated for past game/SMAPI releases. It has some rewriters specific to Stardew Valley 1.5.5 already, and part of the work in the beta is to improve them for mods which are still broken. (Though some mods will need an update, not everything can be rewritten unfortunately.)

[calm peak]

that's super cool, thanks for explaining! what a good idea!

when it loads a mod and "interprets it" does it actually save the changes somehow? or does it just do it on every load?

[tired brook]

It does it on each load. (The first versions cached the rewritten DLL, but that caused more issues than it was worth.)

[calm peak]

you cant mod a dll thats not opensource, so are you somehow caching the change somewhere for smapi to pull later?

oh haha

answered as i asked. lol

[tired brook]

SMAPI doesn't need the mod to be open-source, since it's not changing the source code. It rewrites the low-level machine code in the DLL directly.

[calm peak]

hex binary right?

[tired brook]

It rewrites at the CIL ("Common Intermediate Language") level.

[calm peak]

haha now im too deep, lol

i wondered how far i could hang on...

[dire fractal]

Ty a lot <<<<3

[stuck quartz]

Hi, my game crushes when i try to use mods. Why it can be? I play the game by Steam for Windows.

[tired quartz]

can you post here your smapi log? You can parse it at smapi.io/log

Are you using the 32-bit version or the 64-bit beta version? For the latter, many mods are crashing because they depend on mods that haven't been updated yet.

[stuck quartz]

Yes, this is my log: https://smapi.io/log/89580faa9f2d4f109d9dbc9968b234ef

[shy orbit]

when does it crash? i see a lot of warping around and then game close in the log. it also seems you have removed the default mods installed by smapi, the Error Handler mod could be useful in the case the game crashes

[tall lily]

Has anyone accidentally harvested sprinkler with tractor? It always yields iridium quality and sometimes yields an extra.

[trim stone]

Hi, im not sure which of the 2 channels I can ask this, so I'll take my shot here lol
why do some mods come with a content.json and content-en.json?

like whats the difference between the 2

[old spire]

likely for translations

[trim stone]

the one im looking at atm, has all the dialogue in the -en one, while the changes in the normal one

what would happen if they were merged?

[old spire]

what mod is it?

[trim stone]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5335?tab=files

[old spire]

which files did you download?

[trim stone]

the Main one, CDF extension, Jodi, Robin and SVE+Grandpa

I think the double content files are only in the extra ones

like Jodi,robin and SVE

[old spire]

can you send a screenshot of the files? my brain is bad at juggling info

[trim stone]

the stuff in the files?

or how the folders look like

[old spire]

the ones you are concerned about

[trim stone]

this is in the normal content.json

while this is in the -en one

[upper ember]

Looks like it's just for different languages

So that the dialogue is loaded in the correct language

[trim stone]

I see

so, they would still work if they were all in a singular content.json?

[old spire]

i would keep them separate

[trim stone]

got confused about how this worked because both files had different types of changes
