[royal bough]

its not a graphical error its ither PyTK or TMXLoader and i cant figure it out

both wont load cause the official ones are outdated and it tells me to run the unofficial ones which are causing issues

[gaunt gust]

so, do you want to go spelunking in Windows Event Viewer?

because that's really the next step

[chilly sky]

i have this event that was apparently never viewed, and seems like it needs to be in pam's trailer? but honestly i have no idea if this is a vanilla event or part of one of the mods i installed and what is pennyparty

this is what happens when you install too many mods at once

[gaunt gust]

well you haven't recieved the pennyParty mail flag

I ask because I recall Trailer_Big loading all of Trailer's events

[chilly sky]

but how to receive that...

[royal bough]

maybe im using vortex wrong and did something wrong, ill try uninstalling and redownloading everything again

[frail carbon]

How do you see what events you havent seen? o_O

Unrelated This is how i feel after restarting my game so many times. Much gloom =-=

[gaunt gust]

your best bet is to run something like ripgrep over your mods folder

[gaunt gust]

Event Lookup

[frail carbon]

Is that a command or a mod you ahve to get?

[chilly sky]

event lookup is a mod

[frail carbon]

Do iwanb barusj addubg u

.....

Sorry ir l cat.

[ashen elbow]

uh

lol

[frail carbon]

Athena wants attention

Do i wanna risk adding that mod to the game ==;; seems useful

[chilly sky]

it's useful but if you're a completionist like me it might drive you mad

[frail carbon]

I do nt know if i wanna be a completionist wit ha mod order list of 587 mo ds

[wild parcel]

does anyone know the link to an unofficial version of self-service mod (that works for 1.5)?

[royal bough]

again anyone know why PyTK and/or TMXLoader are causing my game to crash?

[wild parcel]

are you using the unofficial version PathosChild made?

[royal bough]

idk i keep getting brought to smapi.io/mod and im using whatever they give on there

is that the same or is it different?

[gaunt gust]

should be the same

[naive drum]

!compat

[native dragon]

See https://smapi.io/mods for a searchable list of mods updated for the latest versions of SMAPI and Stardew Valley, with links to download them. :)

[gaunt gust]

we don't really know why pytk doesn't like some computers

[naive drum]

!mpmods also

[native dragon]

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

[gaunt gust]

I would actually recommend looking around in Event Viewer (hit the Windows Key, type Event Viewer) but the interface is questionable

this type of unknown crash is probably logged there if anywhere.

[royal bough]

ok but here is the thing, i have never used that nor have zero knowledge on that kinda stuff, so how am i suppose to find something when i dont know what im looking for

[desert totem]

Shane's patio decor has ceased to exist, the opposite result I wanted. Cool.

[gaunt gust]

great time to learn!

[royal bough]

you, my fine fellow, are not very helpful.......

[desert totem]

I don't get whats up with this now

[lavish marlin]

Does... the game ever take full advantage of wrapped texture coordinates?

[desert totem]

If thats a sve tile of any kind I will punch the nearest wall

[lavish marlin]

with source bounds that wrap

[gaunt gust]

Event Viewer's interface really is trash. I basically just go to Windows Logs->Applications. Then Find on the right sidebar

[lavish marlin]

that could explain these odd results

[gaunt gust]

then put in in "Stardew" and hope.

[royal bough]

and how do i get to windows logs?

[gaunt gust]

hit windows key, type Event Viewer.

on the left sidebar, there's Windows Logs

[desert totem]

Looks to be a town interior tile of a shopping cart sigh. I didn't even touch that mod so I don't understand the issue

[gaunt gust]

(lookup anything's debug mode will tell you the tilesheet and id any tile you hover over0

[royal bough]

ok its saying "To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel"

[desert totem]

I don't even know how to access lookup anything's debug but I doubt finding the actual tile will help me fix it

[stuck oxide]

Im currently running into this issue whilst trying to run SDV Expanded. I checked for the most recent update for PyTK however it is the exact same version that I have. This is the same situation with Tractor Mod and UI Info Suite.

[desert totem]

Maybe I should just uninstall and reinstall custom spouse patio and hope it sorts itself out

[gaunt gust]

in the config somewhere.

.q 5793

[devout pumice]

[#5793] "A list of common mod update questions:

1. PyTK and TMXLoader still work in 1.5.6, but you need to get the unofficial versions linked from here: https://smapi.io/mods/#PyTK (for PyTK) and https://smapi.io/mods/#TMXL_Map_Toolkit (for TMXL) As of versions unofficial.1-strobe, download the 1st file in the forum post for PyTK, and the 2nd file for TXMLoader. (If these get another unofficial update, you may need to read the forum post for details.)
2. UI Info Suite does not work in 1.5.5+. Use UI Info Suite 2, which can be found here: https://github.com/Annosz/UIInfoSuite2/releases. Make sure not to download the source code.
3. NPC Adventures was broken, but is now fixed for 1.5.5+! Get the latest from Nexus.
4. Custom Music has an unofficial update linked here: https://smapi.io/mods/#Custom_Music (4th zip file on forum post) If you're having issues with music starting to play and then stopping, try this update.
5. Stardew Valley Expanded still works in 1.5.6. Make sure you have all of its components and all of its dependencies updated. Also, it bundles a version of Custom Music, so you may want to delete that before installing." - @lament prairie (05 Dec 2021 @ 09:48:16 PM UTC)

[desert totem]

Which it doesn't even have an option to use sophia's patio, I genuinely wish I could remove it but there's no option to do that. Only Shane's

[gaunt gust]

there's a reason why I referred to it as "spelunking in Event Viewer". Realistically - the interface is crap. You basically spend a bunch of time digging around and hoping to find something you can google. It's tedious. It sucks. But it's the only real source of info for a logless crash.

[naive drum]

!compat has the link to the actual most recent pyrk and tmxl

[native dragon]

See https://smapi.io/mods for a searchable list of mods updated for the latest versions of SMAPI and Stardew Valley, with links to download them. :)

[royal bough]

so none of this is really helpful

[gaunt gust]

Yeah, wish I could tell you something more useful like grep for X in /var/log/syslog/

Last person I asked to do that found that the crash was due to something odd in a gamecube controller driver

[stuck oxide]

Thank you, its all good :)

[royal bough]

i give up, have no idea what im doing, if anyone knows why PyTK or TMXLoader is crashing my game please let me know

[cinder venture]

Uhhh

[lean notch]

anyone here uses more rings? My rings always turn into random items.

[clear eagle]

Did you remove renovation?

[frozen forge]

I honestly don't quite think this question goes here, per se.... but I don't really know where else it would go.... so here you go...

I am using Chests Anywhere, and have been renaming chests to fit their purpose.. but have noticed that there is a chest somewhere on my farm that I.. honestly can't find.... anywhere XD is there any way to either locate and/or teleport to this strangely invisible chest?

[cinder venture]

no, hell it's not even in my house, it's in the Save owners, and she didn't as she uses that slot.

and that wasn't even where I was supposed to wake up, I was supposed to wake up in my house I think (could be wrong on this bit)

[clear eagle]

Oh so it's multiplayer

[cinder venture]

mhm, I've been having multiplayer issues all night (now technically morning for me) including crashing if I enter the forest and now this.

yes it's modded, I've downloaded some of the mods (all of them would most definitely crash my PC)

but before last night we ran fine without me even having SMAPI.

after I had needed to delete SMAPI to even get onto Stardew

[faint brook]

Is there any way I can get rid of all trees, branches, stones, boulders, and grass from the water here? I have SDVE and I'm thinking one of the mods did this because it has an option to spawn resources anywhere - which might be why all of this is here over the water? I also have them over the little farming areas that SDVE gives the other NPCs. I'm just not sure how to fix this if that's possible so need a little help
Ping me if you respond, I'm heading to bed

[desert totem]

You could probably noclip and chop/break them manually

That is assuming they're real trees and rocks and not decorations

[dense sorrel]

anyone having issues with stardew expanded ? every time i am playing it on single player keeps saying content is removed and im seeing on my smapi that all the npc has been removed can someone help me fix it

[frozen forge]

are we allowed to bump questions, and if so, what are the rules on doing so?

[faint brook]

I'll have to look up how to do that, but thank you!

Nevermind, I see that it's a mod! 🙂

To anyone using Diverse Stardew Valley, DSV 3.0.0 is finally here! 🥳 When installing the new family packs, please make sure you remove the previous version of DSV before playing.

It is available on ModDrop here:
https://www.moddrop.com/stardew-valley/modpacks/8013-diverse-stardew-valley
and Github here:
https://github.com/AirynS?tab=repositories

Additional standalone character packs that were previously only available on the old Github are also now available as extra downloads from the matching ModDrop character page (ie. Eemie's Front-Facing Elliott can be found on the DSV Leah & Elliott ModDrop page).

The old Github wiki has been discontinued in favour of our shiny new website! https://diversestardewvalley.weebly.com/ It combines all the information from the wiki and the readme in a clean, easy-to-read layout, with info about installation, configuration, options, compatibility, and more.

Usually everyone needs the mods and the exact same versions of everything.

I think visual stuff is an exception as long as it doesn't actually change anything about the game.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to replicate this issue, even after following your steps on the Nexus bug page (changing a flooring after adding a new AT pack). This issue has only been reported a few times these last couple months, so it seems to be an outlier (and one that is difficult to replicate).

Is this a save that was migrated to 1.5.5 / 1.5.6 from 1.5.4+? And is it possible for you to send your save file over to me, as it'll give me a better chance of replicating this issue.

As a note, AT doesn't use in-game IDs like JA and isn't susceptible to shuffles.

[tropic needle]

is there a mod tht makes robin dateable?

ok found one [https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/3239(if anybdy wants it)]

[fleet ridge]

Trying to mod my game on mobile but every mods I want needs a later version of SMAPI even though the version currently available is labelled as "latest". What do I do?-

[shell jackal]

You need older versions of the mods.

[molten gale]

[late nebula]

You can ask in #making-mods-general. Sometimes people are willing to take on stuff like that. It's a small project so I imagine someone will help or maybe even help you make the mod yourself.

[frozen forge]

I asked this in regards to this question:

I am using Chests Anywhere, and have been renaming chests to fit their purpose.. but have noticed that there is a chest somewhere on my farm that I.. honestly can't find.... anywhere XD is there any way to either locate and/or teleport to this strangely invisible chest?

And have yet to receive an answer to either of them, so...

[late nebula]

You need to update smapi.. But I'm still trying to get the rest of the log to load.

[late nebula]

I recommend contacting Pathoschild directly either here or on Nexus.

[frozen forge]

why?

[late nebula]

Because he's the author of the mod.

And will know best how to help you.

[frozen forge]

but... the question isn't about the mod?

[late nebula]

If the mod is messing with it, it is?

Or do you mean, you just forgot where you put one?

[frozen forge]

what? I just wanted to know if there was a way to locate a chest that I don't remember placing?

yeah, the second

sorry, I guess I didn't explain myself well XD

[late nebula]

There aren't any commands for locating a chest that I know of and I've never seen a mod that will tell you where or teleport you to a chest.

[frozen forge]

dang, thanks

[late nebula]

There are some commands to delete them though.

[lament prairie]

There are some mods that add an invisible chest

Like the horse overhaul for saddlebags

[frozen forge]

I have that mod! I'll check the horse!!

[dire fractal]

Is there a way to change the key from f1? When I press it all it does is mute my volume

[late nebula]

After you update smapi, can you try to reupload your log? It absolutely will not load correctly for me so I can see what the error is.

[late nebula]

Are you on a laptop?

[dire fractal]

Yeah

[late nebula]

Use the fn key when you press f1

You can change it to not use the volume buttons and such by default, but I can't recall how to do that off the top of my head. (I had to do that on my lenovo yoga.)

[lament prairie]

You can configure the key with GMCM

[late nebula]

(There probably is a configuration for it in the config.json file, but I don't have it to look.)

[lament prairie]

I have mine set to U and shift U because I don’t have F1

[dire fractal]

What’s gmcm?

[lament prairie]

To mark text as a spoiler, use || before and after your message. Example: ||I'm a spoiler!|| -> ||I'm a spoiler!||.

To mark an image as a spoiler, before sending it:
On mobile: Tap on the image preview, then select the "Mark as spoiler" checkbox below the image. You may need to scroll down to see the option.

huh, that's an xnb mod from like 2016

it's almost certainly missing the swim sprites

are you host or farmhand?

[lean notch]

Sorru I replied late! Someone from the comments made a CP version

[lean notch]

I am a farmhand

[robust bison]

someone reported missing swim sprites in the mod reports, not sure if the conversion was update though

[gaunt gust]

it's still probably missing the swim sprites (2018)

(swiming was added in 1.5)

[lean notch]

Maybe that's why!

She saw it though. She saw ducks swimming. She even took a screenshot

[lean notch]

Can I post here for proof?

[gaunt gust]

sure! I wonder if this is a farmhand/host difference

[lean notch]

Okay 🙂

[gaunt gust]

also, if you want to edit the mod to have the swim sprites, it's likely not too hard

(i'm pretty sure the swim sprites are the usual sprites, just a little lower)

Someone good with portraiture/portrait fixing in the files who can help me with a lil problem?

[robust bison]

what's the problem?

[dire fractal]

I have a mid-low range PC with a Ryzen 3 3200g processor, with an integrated Vega 8 graphics.

[keen hollow]

It's mainly a sprite conflict between two mods (talkohlooeys' Portraits and the robin romance) that I was trying to solve through the portrait mod, I need help in figuring how to fix scales etc. since I'm new to using the mod

I can go into more details if it helps

[dire fractal]

It doesn't open smapi.

[gaunt gust]

can you try updating your graphics drivers

[robust bison]

so neither are loading?

[dire fractal]

Also try to open it normal and it doesn't work.

[robust bison]

that didn't answer the question

[gaunt gust]

you shouldn't be using administrative mode at all?

[keen hollow]

Basically, the robin romance mod adds another npc to replace her in the carpenter shop. The problem is that the romanceable robin is a new npc and the replacement at the shop uses robin's old id. So talkohlooeys' Portraits gives her the new robin sprite

[dire fractal]

I have reviewed and they are up to date

This one?

[dire fractal]

I already did everything it said there and it doesn't work.

[robust bison]

yeah

[robust bison]

ok, so romanceable robin makes a new NPC with the internal name Ram, so you'll need to edit your portrait mod to affect her portraits instead or robins

[keen hollow]

I see

[gaunt gust]

I'm a little confused, because you asked for instructions as to how to put SMAPI on your graphics card

the second section is...instructions as to how to put SMAPI on your graphics card

with screenshots!

[keen hollow]

I assume I have to do it inside the content json of talkohlooeys' Portraits right?

[robust bison]

talkohlooeys is a portraiture mod right?

[keen hollow]

It has portraiture support

[robust bison]

I'm assuming you're using the CP version?

in that case you should just replace all instances or Robin with Ram EXCEPT any filenames with robin in it

inside the content.json

[keen hollow]

Portraits/Robin, Portraits/Robin_Beach so basically these two

[robust bison]

yeah, those should be Ram and Ram_Beach

[keen hollow]

Okay, done, I'll start the game to see if it works

Quick question, I know that vortex isn't recommended for downloading or uninstalling mods, so how about moddrop? For getting their bundled mods, I mean.

Unfortunately, both of them occasionally have issues with Stardew Valley mods, including but not limited to deleting files, mangling configs, and causing opaque errors.

Save is upgraded to 1.5.6 I can send you the save file. A little more note on it is that it happens when installing any mods - like last night it happened to me after I added that new Alec NPC. And it's not all floor files. If you'd like, I can give u a copy of my stardew mod folder so u can load my game with all my mods and I can tell you which floors are bugged so you can see it ?

let me see if its doing it on my new save

It is

Fudge

[oblique jay]

Upgraded from 1.5.4+? The save file itself should be enough, unless there are critical mods that will prevent it from loading.

[frail carbon]

I have 589 mods so I might want to give u the mod folder, though this happens to people with signfiicantly f ewer. I know one guy had it happen with just wo mods.

I asked them to reply to the bug thread but none of them did ~_~

I wish i knew how to take a video so I could show you

[lament prairie]

Are you on mac or windows? (although a video may not be helpful)

[frail carbon]

Windows

[lament prairie]

on mac, you can screenshot with quicktime

on windows...i'm not sure

[frail carbon]

Cerri's floors aren't working on the new save

and...

Hoji's arent working

and mine stopped working too 😠

[lament prairie]

if you can replicate on a new save with only a few mods, that would likely be helpful

ex. only 3 AT packs, AT

[frail carbon]

My walls arent working either ugh

I just made this save yesterday sigh

I did asdd in two mods this morning lets see what happens if i remove those

[dire fractal]

@gaunt gust Hello, I appreciate that you are helping me in my goal of being able to play with mods, I just wanted to ask you to continue supporting me.

[lament prairie]

If you want to quickly make a new folder, rename the old one Mods (Real) and the new one Mods, copy over ErrorHandler, SaveBackup, ConsoleCommands, AT, and some AT packs

[frail carbon]

Well itll likely work if i make a new save.

What happens is it breaks as I add mods in

[lament prairie]

I keep a fairly empty mod folder around named Mods (Bugtesting) when I want to test

[lament prairie]

Ok, so make a new save without AT mods added, then break it by adding AT packs. Again, the key for replication is only a few mods.

[gaunt gust]

xbox game bar (yes, that's on Windows)

PeacefulEnd uses LICEcap

[keen hollow]

It took a bit of tinkering but it worked, Tysm!

[robust bison]

np

[frail carbon]

I can try but im at work so itll be ahwile before i get a replicated, in the mean time do you want my dsave and current mod folder?

I wish that other person was around they only had a few mods

[dire fractal]

@frail carbon Which AT Wallpaper packs are you using? Maybe we got the same ones

[frail carbon]

nari does it happen to you?

Every single AT pack out there, but wallpaper specifically is Cerri's and Hoji's, and my own that i was working on last night which will be problematic since mines broken too lol

[dire fractal]

My issue appeared with Yet another Wallpaper Mod. With Cerris and Hojis alone I had no issues.

[devout pumice]

If it is satisfactory to all parties involved...then aw hell yeah 8]

[gaunt gust]

I never got an answer to the question "which store did you buy the game from? GOG, Steam, or Gamepass". Because the instructions differ

[neat plaza]

@dire fractal please use bot commands in #governors-mansion

[lament prairie]

OK so:
Do you have a save with:
Cerri's, Hoji's, YAWM alone
that has the problem?

[gaunt gust]

also, frankly, we don't get paid for this stuff, and we have lives too.

[frail carbon]

Okay so you're having it too nari? If you have fewer mods you might be able to give them your save

[lament prairie]

If so, you can send it to PeacefulEnd

[dire fractal]

don't buy it, download it by apk.

[lament prairie]

see rule 5

(also, pirated copies of the game frequently have issues)

[frail carbon]

Mine came from gog

[dire fractal]

Mine is kinda big as well ' -'

[gaunt gust]

(also that sounds like the mobile copy of the game)

[frail carbon]

Is it 587? XD

[dire fractal]

About half.

[lament prairie]

If you have time, try replicating it on a new save with a smaller set of mods.

(If you don't have time, the save + log may still be valuable, but harder to work with)

[gaunt gust]

(and making it harder to work with will probably make it take longer for the problem to be solved)

[frail carbon]

removed the mods i added yesterday and my stuffs still broke. Ima take a smal vid

[dusky canyon]

If you want Robin to have beach portrait, it needs to be Ram_IslandSouth for some reason. Idk why. Not Beach ;-;

(with portraiture)

[frail carbon]

I did it with my phone cuz i didnt know how else lol

[dire fractal]

If my friend and I have the same mod can we see it in multiplayer?

[lament prairie]

!mpmods

[native dragon]

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

[lament prairie]

tl;dr depends on the mod

[frail carbon]

I do not have yet another wallpaper mod so it cant be that one @dire fractal

[halcyon ledge]

does anyone know if the Adopt N Skin sell command is broken ?

[oblique jay]

Out of curiosity, if you manually place a floor (the actual floor item), does it fix the issue?

[halcyon ledge]

I've seen some people say the same in the comments of the mod but no real solution or answer from the author

[frail carbon]

Hmm

Let me try

Booting the game back up peaceful will let you know in a few minutes

[halcyon ledge]

well the command also doesn't appear in the help

[lament prairie]

You may need to upgrade to the beta version

It's in the source code on Github, but I'm not sure which version the Nexus version is

(I know A'n'S is in the process of being updated rn for multiplayer support)

[halcyon ledge]

I'm on the multiplayer version, the 4.0.0 one. Apparently it was the same version as the main one according to the files description so I just downloaded this one so I don't get bothered my smapi and vortex telling me to update

I'll try to roll back to the 3.x.x

[lament prairie]

Huh, interesting. It's possible the source code is a version ahead (I know my mod has that issue...)

[gaunt gust]

(does it have tags?)

(no, apparently)

[frail carbon]

Negatory it does not fix the issue. I applied regular flooring and still bugged

[oblique jay]

When you have time, could you use this beta version and change the wallpaper / flooring with the Paint Bucket before uploading a new log for me to check? Thank you in advance!

https://github.com/Floogen/AlternativeTextures/releases/tag/v5.0.5-beta.1

[frail carbon]

Installing the beta now 🙂

[halcyon ledge]

the 3.x version works, all good now thanks !

[languid kindle]

Sure, it will come usefull whenever i get it on pc

use cjb cheats and item spawner instead

[dire fractal]

that too

[languid kindle]

Alright

[robust bison]

I don't recommend save file editing

[languid kindle]

Yah i think i see sdv youtubers use cjb cheats and item spawner sometime

[frail carbon]

CJB is great.

[heady raptor]

I use it 24/7 for testing 😅

Nothing like skipping time and spawning whats needed

[rustic whale]

Why is the previous SMAPI version 3MB and the new version 95MB?

A little suspicious...

[neat plaza]

https://gyazo.com/6dcd0840beb6cad508daa5dbcc8e64d7

i assume its that

[rustic whale]

I don't think it was this heavy before

[lament prairie]

Also if you're updating from pre-3.13.0, the game itself changed a lot

[gaunt gust]

It's because it now bundles NET 5.0 stuff

[lament prairie]

So now SMAPI bundles in the parts of .NET 5.0 it needs to run

So you dont' have to install it yourself!

[rustic whale]

Oh

[lament prairie]

Be glad you don't have to install it bc man was that a rough week here in #archived-modded-support

[rustic whale]

Thanks for the info

[gaunt gust]

"DESKTOP! NO CLICK DESKTOP!"

[lament prairie]

I learned that windows has this weird place they store weird variables

it was a time

[gaunt gust]

(macs have it too!)

(so does Linux!)

[lament prairie]

i don't think macs have a GUI to access it though?

[gaunt gust]

Don't think so?

[lament prairie]

also the "M1 Macs don't work unless you go back a version" bit was fun too

good times...

[fiery portal]

was it more complicated than "go to microsoft's website, and download the right .net installer" or just people getting mixed up cause there's a million .net versions and a bunch of ways to install it?

[lament prairie]

it was that, except that somehow on some machines it didn't work because of weird system variable nonsense

basically it wasn't obvious how a program retrieves the right version of .NET or even where they look for it

[fiery portal]

of course lol, why wouldn't windows be randomly jank

[lament prairie]

so some people would install .NET and then their computer wouldn't register it

plus, a lot of this debugging had to be done via command line

Which the typical user needed to be walked through

the million versions of .NET really didn't help on top of this all

[fiery portal]

command line is perfectly fine once you're comfortable with it, but oh boy trying to walk someone through it, that's a nightmare

[lament prairie]

it's like talking someone through a maze that you can see, but they're blindfolded

[gaunt gust]

in effect, we would say a command

they'd do it, send a screenshot

we'd say the next

so it'd literally be

[lament prairie]

except you're looking through a weird lens

and may not have a copy of the maze yourself (me, on a mac)

[gaunt gust]

dir. cd smapi-installer.

[fiery portal]

so remote desktop access via a game of telephone?

[gaunt gust]

yes

[fiery portal]

ouch

[lament prairie]

plus there's like 3 windows terminals

[gaunt gust]

otherwise, we couldn't be sure which directory they ended up in

and the terminals installed by default all suck

(I use WSL on windows personally)

[unique stone]

what do i put in for the launch options

[fiery portal]

three? there's cmd window and powershell, what's the third?

[gaunt gust]

we're counting WSL

But before WSL I would use git bash, so I have very little experience with either of the Windows ones.

[neat plaza]

C:\Windows\System32\wsl.exe
that wsl ^?

[fiery portal]

oh, I haven't used that, I've used something like it though, can't remember the name, probably outdated by now

[gaunt gust]

SMAPI's installer should have told you

is your game in the normal steam location?

[unique stone]

yeah

[fiery portal]

ah right, cygwin is what I used, I've still got it setup on a thumb drive

[lament prairie]

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

New quote added by Elizabeth as #5842 (https://discordapp.com/channels/137344473976799233/678284714829807636/933067885910315068)

[gaunt gust]

it's probably "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%

quotes are important, as is the %command% at the end

[fiery portal]

what is that variable? is that something from steam or smapi?

[gaunt gust]

STEAM

if you call up STEAM using the command line, you can give it variables there. You can tell it which game to launch, and pass through some variables.

Thank you ❤️

[wide finch]

ok good because starting over is a pain but i really wanted a beach farm and thank u

[naive drum]

iiirc you can use cheat menu to get achievments in various ways

Like giving yourself loads and loads of money will trip the "has loads and loads of money" achievment

[wide finch]

oh really

[naive drum]

yeah i think so

[wide finch]

can i get quick money

[neat plaza]

yes

[naive drum]

Using CBJ Cheats Menu, yeah

theres a console command for switching farm type though

[wide finch]

how much do you get

[naive drum]

!rtf

[native dragon]

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

[naive drum]

there's buttons to add i think 1k and 10k g?

[wide finch]

oh ok and what do you mean by switching farm type

[neat plaza]

between 1k and 100k i think

[naive drum]

i'm assuming you're trying to get from a farm map of the types available before 1.5 to the 1.5-added Beach Farm?

[neat plaza]

or maybe its a mil
like 1k 10k 100k and a mil

[naive drum]

The one with the supply crates?

or are you talking about the island

[dire fractal]

i have a dresser in my house and i cant remove it because theres an "invalid object" in it, i think its because i removed a mod

how do i fix it

[wide finch]

and do you still have to play though to open everything up like ginger island and skull cavern

[naive drum]

because the island is unlocked by i think finishing the community center and you'd have no reason to start over to get to it

[neat plaza]

some things, some not

[wide finch]

yeah ive played forest farm which i like but since im modding my game the way i want i did beach beacuse i thought it would be pretty

[naive drum]

Yeah you use the change farm type command in the SMAPI console

type i think "help" into the console and it will give you a List of commands

[wide finch]

ok i see

[frail carbon]

Are there are any empty cabin mods for single player that work in 1.5.6?

[wide finch]

im just working on visuals for mine i like art then i can add the fun stuff like mobs and better drops cooking and so forth

[wide finch]

i dont know i have never tried my cabin because no one ever visits me

you can either build it at robins or in setting have a starter cabin before you play so someone can help you

can people visit modded farms

[frail carbon]

Oh no i wanted the cabins to be useful for single player I dont do multi player lol

My game would not agree with mp

i is the default

[ivory juniper]

thanks

[exotic shard]

yes

[wide finch]

well that's weird why do all players need to have the same visuals to be able to see them

[robust bison]

because visual mods are clientside

[wide finch]

double check the SVE wiki, if they're still not showing up report it to the SVE server

is this your initial cat

[little fox]

I get this for any animal that I try to change. Even randomize_skin throws the same exception.

just tried the chickens and it didn't work either

[frail carbon]

are your skins inthe adopt n skin folder?

[little fox]

yes assets/skins/Cat for example

[hoary silo]

Can u use mods on Xbox?

[frail carbon]

and this is how they look inside?

Capitalization seems to matter

[gaunt gust]

the console no

[frail carbon]

Thats correct

is petbed.png in assets?

[little fox]

Yep!

[frail carbon]

What happens if you do

list_creatures cat

[frail carbon]

and you are running, for instance, set_skin 9 34

?

[lament prairie]

Ah, you might have swapped the skin/short ID order if it should be 9 34, since ealier luna said set skin 1 9

[little fox]

well the help says to do set_skin 34 9

[frail carbon]

yah Id comes first then skin

[little fox]

but either way doesn't work

[lament prairie]

what version of AnS do you have installed?

[frail carbon]

Don't do _ either

Also don't use the beta version

I found the beta doesnt work

[dire fractal]

Can someone help me with the custom critters? I installed Trexes and frogs as barn animals and geese but now all I got is this,

The cows are still locked even tho I have a barn

[little fox]

That must be it. We have to use the beta to play co-op or the game crashes

[frail carbon]

Oh yeah I find that the beta is wonk and doesnt work, throws errors left and right

[little fox]

So would you suggest using 3.0.0 instead?

[frail carbon]

yeah but it probably wont work in mp

[little fox]

That's okay I sub in a seperate mod folder when I play with my husband 😂 gotta have a solo folder. I'm gonna try that file right now!

[lament prairie]

You could have the host change the animal skins, save the day, then swap back to MP beta?

Not 100% if that would work, it's just a guess

You'd want to back up the save before trying this

[dire fractal]

Is this for me or the other person

[lament prairie]

lunalovebad

for you, custom critters is for bugs

do you mean BFAV?

[dire fractal]

Yeah I thought that’s where they go

[frail carbon]

No BFAV is something entirely different

[dire fractal]

ohh ok so do I put it in that folder?

[frail carbon]

Ima let elizabeth help u I dont use bfav. If i want a diff species as a farm animal i just use adopt n skin x.x

[lament prairie]

Custom Critters is a framework mod that adds small bugs to the game (bees, ladybugs, butterflies)

Better Farm Animal Variety (BFAV) is a mod that lets you add new farm animals

BFAV is on unofficial updates right now

[dire fractal]

Where do I put it in the bfav file, do I just add it to the assets folder?

[lament prairie]

So to start with, check that you have the latest version

I'm not actually sure how BFAV works

[dire fractal]

I think I just put it in mods

can someone help me see what's causing the errors?

Do the newer versions work on Android?

[robust bison]

oh duh

hmm

they don't

[wary burrow]

so I click the link and replace the pytk and tmxl ones to fix it?

[robust bison]

you need an older version of pytk to work

I think the version for android is 1.19.6

[wary burrow]

okay, so I search nexus and look for the 1.19.6 and it should be running right?

[robust bison]

tmxl needs an older version too

1.20.1 I think

[wary burrow]

Alright I'll fix it and see if it works. Thanks :D

[dire fractal]

Does anyone have the frog mod that adds them as farm animals and they give u minerals

If u successfully got it in your game please show me how

[little fox]

so this is what im getting now :/ whenever I call /list creatures __ it doesn't pull anything up anymore

[next narwhal]

do downtown zuzu, ridgeside village and stardew valley expanded all work together?

[gaunt gust]

yes, if your computer can handle it

[fiery portal]

what's the big bottleneck for several big mods? ram or processor power?

[gaunt gust]

used to be ram

[sharp pike]

Anyone have ideas?

I downloaded Bountiful Valley but it still needs... something?

[lament prairie]

RSV installation is messed up

In particular the content patcher part of Ridgeside is either missing files or has the wrong folder structure

[sharp pike]

Greeeeeat

Ty

I'll re-extract it

I wonder what did it

I just downloaded a few portraits

[unreal stratus]

Ah

The OrangePie ones?

[sharp pike]

Yep

[unreal stratus]

Use the CP version, not the replacement one

[sharp pike]

I gave up halfway through and did that

After screaming a bit

[unreal stratus]

With the CP version you only need to replace the STF portraits

[sharp pike]

On the other hand your kitty cat mod is good to go

[unreal stratus]

[sharp pike]

Ugh I should have never downloaded those portrait mods

I just re-installed all my mods... thank god I keep backups of the extractable files

[dire fractal]

Ok I finally got the rexes I want but why won’t the cows show up? I have a barn already

[royal bough]

Just want to ask if anyone knows why PyTk and/or TMXLoader are crashing my game on the main menu when I click new or load

[dire fractal]

!parselog

[native dragon]

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

[dire fractal]

Well I tried

[lament prairie]

!compat maybe if you don't have the latest update?

[native dragon]

@royal bough See https://smapi.io/mods for a searchable list of mods updated for the latest versions of SMAPI and Stardew Valley, with links to download them. :)

[royal bough]

I do

[lament prairie]

!log then

[native dragon]

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

[royal bough]

They said to use the unofficial ones even though they are broken

I've already done the log thing, nothing was told to me about it when I posted it

[lament prairie]

what does "crash" mean here, exactly?

[gaunt gust]

_Cynd_ is probably experiencing something like this https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/5830682-spacecore/page-80#entry104247913

there's a small number of people for which pytk causes an inexplicable crash

[lament prairie]

huh

[royal bough]

I opened the game, and when I click on new or load the game freezes and then not responding and then closes

[lament prairie]

hmm...unfortunately PyTK and TMXL are both very opqaue mods

They're not well documented and the author is inactive

[gaunt gust]

realistically, we're just mostly waiting for people to migrate their mods away from pytk

[royal bough]

I thought I read the gut was active, well damn guess no modded for me

[gaunt gust]

Flash is moving SVE away from pytk.

[dire fractal]

Why

Oh god why

I just started to understand Pytk

@dire fractal The Android version of the game is quite a bit different from other ports and so needs a custom version of SMAPI. See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Installing_SMAPI_on_Android for details on getting started.

Anyone have ideas

[sharp pike]

...I forgot to add that back in, I'm an idiot

[lament prairie]

haha it happens, no worries

[frail carbon]

Your farm is so smol

Mines the opposite, mines huge

[gaunt gust]

which mod is the dress?

[lament prairie]

That farm is from a save where I specifically picked mods to support playing with Harvz's Tiny Farm

[lament prairie]

Kisakae skirts for FS, vanilla shirt (blue one from initial screen)

(may be slightly misspelling)

[worthy lichen]

Having a really big farm because my mods wouldn't all fit I can now fully appreciate the allure of playing a tiny farm.

[lament prairie]

I call it Hideaway Farm!

As a side bonus, the load time is quite fast

[frail carbon]

Can you even fit one of each building?

[worthy lichen]

I wanna make a farm house & map based off WWOG...

[lament prairie]

probably not, hah!

we will see

I don't think I currently can fit all the obelisks

I 100% can't fit a slime thing

Right now I feel like I don't have room for a mill

So I just buy sugar/flour/rice

[dire fractal]

I can't open tge menu

[gaunt gust]

(are you planning on playing to perfection?)

[lament prairie]

(unclear, definitely want to finish out Y2)

[gaunt gust]

(Admittedly - ridgeside would go well with that mod, since it adds a big greenhouse + more planting space)

[lament prairie]

(the 10 million will be...a problem)

[gaunt gust]

buildings are still hard

[lament prairie]

I think once I get to the island, I can start a big ancient fruit farm and start raking in the big bucks

[royal hull]

Not eavesdropping at all, but Lunna also adds a greenhouse 👀

[worthy lichen]

I've been away for a bit, do you know if you can do the perfection stuff with a save from before that was implemented?

[lament prairie]

Friendship, fishing, museum are all doable, and I'm hoping to get a Y2 completion of the fishing

[lament prairie]

As far as I know, yes

[worthy lichen]

Neat

[lament prairie]

The monster goals will be a bit tricky, since I'm not particularly good at combat and don't have a great source of healing food

Normally people use cheese or things like that, but I can only afford to feed one cow

And I sell all the cheese from it

I might try to get a bit more of a money engine going and then buy more cows and shut them in the barn

I also don't currently have access to truffles or goat milk, so at some point I probably have to buy a pig and a goat to get the shipping goal

Right now I'm just trying to scrape together enough iridium to get to the island

I have 3 bars and 4 ore, so only 6 more ore to go!

Oh, also at some point i might need to replace my lava eels with sturgeon

[sharp pike]

Jesus christ on a bike what now

[gaunt gust]

(update spacecore)

[proper vine]

Spacecore needs an update for you from the looks of it. I got that same error

[sharp pike]

I apparently have 2 versions

8.1?

[gaunt gust]

1.8.1 is latest, yes

[astral plover]

tbh, for that tiny farm i'd just get rid of the animals once they've produced the items for the community center. unless you have mods for them, they are less tile inefficient for gold / day production.

[sharp pike]

Thanks mate

[lament prairie]

but they're cute

[sharp pike]

Now to deal with the missing json files, whatever that is

Is that just portraits? Cause if so I'mma just give up

[lament prairie]

So for Ridgeside, I think somehow you lost the manifest.json?

Inside the CP component of Ridgeside

[sharp pike]

I redownloaded Ridgeside.

Still have that

[lament prairie]

Or somehow the insides of the Ridgeside folder migrated

[astral plover]

then i'd use a mod to make the animals better producters to compete with crops :P

[oblique jay]

v5.0.5 should hopefully resolve that wallpaper / flooring issue with AT. Thank you for reporting this and helping me pinpoint the problem!

[lament prairie]

It's probably the portraits thing

[sharp pike]

Yaay

My favorite

[lament prairie]

Most likely the portraits mods gave you things to overwrite Ridgeside

[frail carbon]

Oh you figured out what it was peaceful?

[oblique jay]

Yep, it was an internal AT issue involving how I passed the wallpapers / floors to SDV! It took a frustratingly long time to pinpoint that, but it should be fixed now.

[lament prairie]

Oh also I need the eggs/milk for cooking still i think

[frail carbon]

I'm amazed you got it figured out so quickly. Coding is completely uh...foreign to me thou.

I'm a texture artist. lol

I'm glad I was able to help 🙂

[astral plover]

for perfection yeah. tho for energy/health food they arent that great either compared to crops.

[lament prairie]

true, but I can't mass-produce crops

The barn/coop also give me extra space to put garden pots haha

[oblique jay]

Please do let me know if the issue still occurs the next time you use AT. The issue no longer occurred on your save file, but I didn't match your mod list so other issues may arise.

[astral plover]

o yeah, is ginger island smaller for you aswell?

[frail carbon]

I will

Is the new one uploaded? If so I'll go grab it right now

[lament prairie]

Nope (at least I think not, maybe Harvz left me a few surprises...)

So once I get ginger island I'll have more flexibility on my home farm

But I'm currently too broke for an obelisk (plus iridium-poor)

So that'll be another challenge, I might need to wait for Y3

[astral plover]

in my current playtrough it kinda goes the other way. i'm running immersive farm 2, better mixed seeds, seed shortage and a seed maker mod that changes the result to 90% mixed seeds. additionally i'm running more challenging community center with PPJA crops (and SVE) and i'm estimating that i have a chance of completing the center in year 3 maybe if i'm lucky

[exotic minnow]

Hello, I'm having a extremely lag in my game, and I can't figure out what it is, all mods are updated and no errors, can be my computer not being able to run those mods but I thought in asking in here if there is something I can do

[ashen elbow]

pc bad maybe

[oblique jay]

It is!

[exotic minnow]

Probably, was after the update

[frail carbon]

alrighty oncve this day ends ill close down the game and replace the files and let you know 🙂

[astral plover]

you can still try removing mods individually (or in batches depending on how many mods you're running) and see if there's a specific mod that makes your game lag.

[frail carbon]

Autumn do you have a ryzen processor?

[lament prairie]

or nvidia

[exotic minnow]

I don't know, I don't know a thing about computer, but I know that this computer is not good 😂

[frail carbon]

Well I ask Bcause I get random FPS drops and lag in my game and it's not my mods or anything do ing it, it's a problem with memory timing in 1st and 2nd gen Ryzens

[exotic minnow]

Did you managed to fix it?

[frail carbon]

only way for me to fix it personally is to upgrade which is expsnive.

No, Some stuff that can help thoguh is turning off CPU 0 in the affinity and setting priority to high

[exotic minnow]

My computer have a integrated graphic cards, is really not fancy at all

But I thought that would be able to run sdv and was

[frail carbon]

ryzen is the processor not gpu

[sharp pike]

Anyone know why Lunakatt's portraits for SVE isn't working?

[frail carbon]

Its likely not ryzen with integrated gpu thou

[unreal stratus]

Ridgeside is moving away and I think ES as well.

[sharp pike]

https://tenor.com/view/hacker-hackerman-kung-fury-gif-7953536

How I feel after downloading new mods

[ashen elbow]

mood

[royal hull]

Which framework mod takes the place of pytk? Or have the mods evolved to the point where the need for such a framework is outdated? Or is this a stupid question?

[unreal stratus]

It's a very good question

PyTK and TMXL both have a ton of features

some of these are handled by other mods

some are lost

No one knows what PyTK and TMXL do exactly, feels like

(I don't, at least)

[lament prairie]

So, here's a short list of mods taking over:
Content Patcher to load new locations
Extra Map Layers for extra map layers
Content Code or Esca's Modding Plugins for some of the custom tile actions
Peace's upcoming framework for TMXL buildables

Oh also SpaceCore for serialization

[royal hull]

TMXL has something to do with farm maps running smoothly, I think......?

[lament prairie]

Rescaling is...not currently being handled

[gaunt gust]

(cp does that now)

[lament prairie]

TMXL used to be how you did map things

CP can now do map things

Parallax is ... maybe not being handled? Dunno if Extra Map Layers covers this

Lua plugins is sort of replaced by Content Code, but it's C# now instead of Lua so not a direct replacement

[gaunt gust]

I think Esca wanted to put parallax in EMP

[royal hull]

So, TMXL is outdated. Is this why pytk has an unofficial version off-Nexus now? Because it's changed hands?

[lament prairie]

It hasn't changed hands, really

More like it broke and Pathos submitted a PR so it wasn't completely failing to function

[royal hull]

Ah.

[lament prairie]

And someone compiled that and released it unofficially

There are probably still bugs but it's not entirely incompatible with the game/failing to load (uh, mostly)

[gaunt gust]

PR here if you want to take a look https://github.com/Platonymous/Stardew-Valley-Mods/pull/120

[royal hull]

https://tenor.com/view/sweet-autumn-nikki-deloach-hallmarkies-mostly-gif-23393586

[hazy leaf]

Is pytk not being maintained ???

[lament prairie]

Well, no one's heard from Routine in months afaik

And there's been a large change in the game

(moving to .NET 5.0)

Potentially Routine is on hiatus

We don't really know

[hazy leaf]

Jeez I might need to rework my maps so I'm not using custom layers anymore

[lament prairie]

aedenthorn released Extra Map Layers, which might be of interest

[royal hull]

I know gifs aren't part of the board culture here but I couldn't resist. And that's right, everything moved to .NET 5. That made a difference. But .NET is supposed to make things easier, right?

[lament prairie]

PyTK and SpaceCore are also now having a little fight every time the game loads that's slowing things down

[lament prairie]

It made windows 64 bit

Preventing out of memory errors

[hazy leaf]

I'll look into but if I can get away with just dropping a dependency I will

[lament prairie]

Which, for users on Windows with a fair number of mods, was a big deal

[gaunt gust]

ngl net 5.0 language features are very nice

gotta love pattern matching

[hazy leaf]

Who made spacecore?

[lament prairie]

spacechase0

[gaunt gust]

space

[lament prairie]

Who was on break but is now mostly back, with the recent releases of Moon Misadventures, Content Code, and Monsters the Framework

[hazy leaf]

Oh cool ok

[lament prairie]

Pathos had been maintaining space's mods while he was gone

[hazy leaf]

Pathos is such a great guy 😤

[lament prairie]

There's another upcoming game update that will open up even more stuff for modding, but with that looming on the horizon there's some stuff that's in limbo right now

For example, Dynamic Game Assets was supposed to replace Json Assets, but it's not in any shape to do that anytime soon (yet)

[hazy leaf]

Oh awesome I'm excited

[frail carbon]

@oblique jay Can confirm issue is resolved

My game works perfectly now

[hazy leaf]

Yeah I noticed that dga is ify

[frail carbon]

and I have 591 mods so if that aint a test i dunno what is lol

[hazy leaf]

Damn that's a lot

I have like 70

[lament prairie]

DGA has some areas that are more finished than others

And it's unfortunately incompatible with a few other major frameworks, like PFM

[hazy leaf]

There's a few things it can't do that's keeping me from migrating

Like custom shops and using custom items in events

[lament prairie]

Yeah, those are some other notable issues

When the new game update with item ID changes comes out, it should be fully compatible, after it's been refactored to handle that

But that's some unknown amount of time away

[hazy leaf]

Until then json assets has my hand 😔

[lament prairie]

And at that point, CP would be able to handle a lot of the functionality of JA and DGA (though potentially not all, and they will be maintained for the sake of older content packs)

[royal hull]

Wait, wut?

[charred kiln]

Hello, where can I get the unofficial download for PYTK?

[lament prairie]

!compat

[native dragon]

@charred kiln See https://smapi.io/mods for a searchable list of mods updated for the latest versions of SMAPI and Stardew Valley, with links to download them. :)

[charred kiln]

okay thanks

[lament prairie]

basically, right now every vanilla item has a number to keep track of it, corresponding to its location in a png. unfortunately, if you want to add modded items, you have to give them numbers too, but then you run into problems with two mods trying to add an object with the same number.

so spacechase0 made Json Assets, which handles assigning all the numbers, but it's not deterministic

[royal hull]

Yeah, I know that, it's a cf every time ja updates....

[gaunt gust]

(and unlike certain things you can't give them infinitely big numbers, because the png can only be so big)

[lament prairie]

which is a problem

so then spacechase0 wrote DGA, which refuses to give items numbers

but you run into other problems, since a whole lot of the game code depends on the numbers

[royal hull]

Okay, that explains dga.... I figured someone was out to fix that issue.

[lament prairie]

"DGA sample object wine" being one of them

so Pathos wrote up a proposal to allow strings instead of nunbers

[royal hull]

Oooooo

That's actually better.

[lament prairie]

so instead of an object being named "532", it will get named "authorname.modname.objectname"

[royal hull]

That is amazing.

[lament prairie]

but unsurprisngly, a change this big requires time for the devs to work on

[royal hull]

Literally game changing.

[lament prairie]

yep!! it's very exciting

but it has implications for us, like "a bunch of mods may break when this is released"

[royal hull]

It's not sarcasm. I'm very impressed.

Yes, I can see that. I spend time mucking around in folks' content files.

[lament prairie]

so the game devs are working on the update, and when they have a beta, they'll release it for mod authors, and we will collectively work on rewriting a bunch of mods

[royal hull]

I like to tweak the game. This will make tweaking different.

[lament prairie]

plus, the game devs are bringing Pathos on board to help with this update

so really, we're being super spoiled

they're also looking into de-hardcoding miscellaneous other bits of the game

[gaunt gust]

(like trees!)

[lament prairie]

moving into speculation, some people speculate these kinds of things are part of the game devs working on "finalizing" the game in a sense—it's possible we won't get any more big content updates to the game, but the devs may hope the game continues to have new life forever via mods

(that's my own personal spin on speculations, so none of that is confirmed at all)

[royal hull]

So.... no more spawns at Marnie's, but no more id switcheroos either.

[lament prairie]

Well, the Marnie thing might or might not stay

[proper vine]

It's a viable theory. After all, we have so many game-changing, content-adding mods like SVE and Ridgeside that the game could easily remain relevant without official updates in the future as mod creators add more to the list

[lament prairie]

But definitely the goal is no more ID switcheroo

Yeah, the more accessible the game is to modding, the more mods will get released

[royal hull]

I think your theory makes sense. The modding community for this game is so incredibly active, why bother to create more dlc when you have an entire group of passionate people that will do it for you? So make the game easier to deal with on that end.

[lament prairie]

Well, the other part fueling that speculation is the trailer release for Haunted Chocolatier

It's clear that CA has other projects he'd love to work on (either as well or instead)

[royal hull]

This is great info b/c I was going to start learning the ins and outs of modding for SDV this summer when I'm off work. I definitely want to wait until these changes are made.

[lament prairie]

Yeah, there will definitely be some cool changes in modding! However, many of the key frameworks will stay the same, most likely

It depends on exactly what kinds of mods you're looking to make

For example, pixel art replacements are likely to stay pretty much 100% the same

And the heart of the game code should be the same—the way that functions and stuff interact

[royal hull]

I was going to start by fixing a broken mod that we used to use but is unmaintained and incompatible with the current frameworks.

[lament prairie]

If you're ok with sharing, which mod?

[royal hull]

An's even bigger shed

[lament prairie]

Ah, I see—sheds had a recent change to them that broke a lot of shed mods

iirc something about wallpaper

[royal hull]

That's what the error messages said--couldn't deal with the tilesheets.

[lament prairie]

I can't say for sure, but I don't anticipate them changing too much more

Of course, with that kind of mod you'd be only making it for personal use

Unless the permissions allow

[royal hull]

I guess I'd have to contact the original creator.

[gaunt gust]

(try it again? I think SMAPI 3.13.3 might have fixed that problem)

[royal hull]

Good to know.

[frail carbon]

That sounds awesome for the future of stardew but I can also see it potentially breaking every current mod in existence. Yay for different install versions >_>

I still have a fully modded 1.12 installed on steam. Bought gog so I could mod 1.5.6 wihtout touching that one

[lament prairie]

It is very unlikely to break every mod in existence

For example, Content Patcher will continue to exist and is crazy-backcompatible

[frail carbon]

I mean it just sounds like it could xD Since you're changing the way the game handles items and stuff

But at the same time I can see mods exploding too because yah

exploding like a ton of new ones coming out

[lament prairie]

That's why there's planned a long beta phase

So mod authors can test and rewrite and such

[frail carbon]

Much excite.

That will be yet another starew install for me though
