i will warn you of something tho

[wind compass]

spooky D:

[warm grove]

not all mods can be properly managed with a mod manager

[wind compass]

to be fair with my computer illiteracy no mods will be properly managed regardless 😔

[warm grove]

so if it needs you to overwrite files in another mod you have to open the mod it asks you to and just drag and replace. also never use xnb mods at this point

[wind compass]

xnb?

do i keep the '

*""

*"

[warm grove]

a file replacement for one of the base game files in this format is highly unreccomended especially for people who consider themselves computer illiterate

[fading pendant]

hello I'm having trouble with launching smapi in the vortex launcher need help

[wind compass]

ohh

honestly anything that changes the base game i dont think ive ever installed on any game out of fear so we're all good:D

[warm grove]

because xnb mods completely delete base game files to change them

[hoary bane]

!modmanagerbugs

[native dragon]

Vortex (Nexus) and ModDrop both are mod managers that can help you keep your mods up to date. However, they can cause bizarre issues and are difficult to troubleshoot.

If you're using a mod manager and ask for help troubleshooting, we probably can't help you if the issue is related to the mod manager. You can try asking the mod manager servers for help instead.

[wind compass]

also i entered the thing into laucnh options and it isnt doing anything

[warm grove]

quit trying to install smapi in a folder

that isnt how you install it

[wind compass]

😔

[devout pumice]

[#5842] "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" - @lament prairie (18 Jan 2022 @ 06:38:48 PM UTC)

[warm grove]

in fact you have to manually download smapi just to be able to use it

and on top of that smapi has to be unpacked from its folder and click the .bat file inside the unzipped folder

[wind compass]

oh im stupid nvm

i thought it was like a process not a path

[warm grove]

I AM SO BRAINDEAD RIGHT NOW OMG

i need to go

[wind compass]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaa are you ok

thank you so much for your help

<3

also the puffle profile picture made me smile

the silhoutte of a puffle anyway

[warm grove]

tbh no because i cant do complicated tasks after taking one of my meds i took within the last hour

[wind compass]

i used to take my meds at night and they would completely destroy my following day i getcha dude

[warm grove]

also its nightmare from dreamtale from the undertale/deltarune fandom as a puffle

hence the blue eye mouth and tentacles

[wind compass]

yeah i knew it wasnt an actual puffle but just seeing the shape of it is cute:)

[warm grove]

yeah i loved making it

also made ones for frisk and chara

[wind compass]

i loved undertale a few years back but i was always too much a coward for the aus

[warm grove]

also made ones for error and geno

[wind compass]

because they pull no punches

[warm grove]

i am mostly out of the undertale fandom now in terms of keeping up with basically anything but i still enjoy what i did about the fandom

like im not watching underverse anymore or anything like that but i like looking at fanart and im following 1 fangame cause my friend made it

[wind compass]

o that sounds cool

[warm grove]

its like an otome game for the au characters that are considered good vs evil

[wind compass]

otome?

[warm grove]

aka star sanses and the bad guy crew which is cannonically what they are called btw

otome games are like dating sims for japanese games

basically a relations sim

[wind compass]

ohh

[warm grove]

using anime or game characters usually

i uh... realized im still in help

xox

[wind compass]

mb mb sorry

[warm grove]

no its my fault

[wind compass]

oki wont keep you here. thank you so much for your help <3 :D

bonk hehe

[warm grove]

breadstick bonk

[wind compass]

:)

[warm grove]

im still gonna be online but i gotta look away from support chat is all for awhile

[wind compass]

yeah i getcha

i think

[warm grove]

its like to keep my own sanity safe sorta thing because i help out people too much then get stressed

[wind compass]

🥖

[warm grove]

also btw you were the easiest of the tech illiterate people ive talked to today. a few from the tmod discord took around 1-2 hours to help with simpler instructions than this

with a simpler process than this

so thank you

[wind compass]

that means more than you could ever know dude

[warm grove]

for being the least difficult person ive talked to today

[wind compass]

high praise, thank you

[warm grove]

no problem. if you need help again with anything just remember to go to smapi.io then click log parser and read the instructions on how to get the log from your appdata into the website so you can send it here

it makes error solving infinetly easier

[wind compass]

ill screenshot that and save it to my pictures

[warm grove]

please do honestly because that website has saved my ass multiple times

one of which was a self caused problem and the others were mod conflict issues xD

[wind compass]

hehe

oki well i will remember that thank you

[warm grove]

actually add me as a friend cause you i might want to talk to again at some point

note that i am extremely shy to being the first person to message but probably will anyway at some point

[wind compass]

i have minecraft if you dont have much to do tomorrow

[warm grove]

oh cool i got minecraft also

[unique wind]

yes, it doesn't impact multiplayer at all

[warm grove]

also should i be concerned about your about me section plant xD

[wind compass]

OH AHAHAHAHA

thats one of my friend's addresses and i thought it was funny

[warm grove]

im like casually concerned but at the same time i didnt want to confuse you with asking that while i was helping you

[wind compass]

i remember finding his exact coords on google maps and sending them to him

because ip is too confusing, so latitude longitude it was

[warm grove]

whats your steam username btw? i want to see what games we have in common for the future (my wifi sucks right now but we might be getting fiber in the area soon)

[wind compass]

ah god its "Howardina"

ill explain later

[crimson aspen]

does anyone know of a mod that will allow auto-petter to be purchased even when following the community centre storyline?

(yes, i am aware that it can be gotten via the mines, but i'd rather not spend hours and hours going through there just to find one.)

[warm grove]

ok

serb?

[wind compass]

oh i have that sarcastically. im polish but my boyfriend is serbian thus the serb flag

[warm grove]

making sure i got the right user honestly

ah i love poland

[wind compass]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/7534

[crimson aspen]

ooh! thanks so much

[warm grove]

i didnt know that mod existed yoink!

[wind compass]

AHAHAHAHA

i didnt know either i just looked up auto petter mod

another mod you didnt know existed is the one that replaces Leah with a gardevoir

[warm grove]

i knew of that one actually

[wind compass]

i wish i didnt :D

[warm grove]

LOL

[wind compass]

out of all the characters it had to be leah 😔

[warm grove]

theres actually a whole suite of mods that replace everyone with pokemon

[wind compass]

such an ironically big niche market

[warm grove]

it was to be an addition to pokefy

which turns basically everything into pokemon

including mines enemies and stuff

[wind compass]

that sounds cool ill check it out

[warm grove]

i dont use it myself

i just remember that being a thing that i saw on nexus awhile back

[placid plover]

Does anyone know if ContentPatcher can know what your character is wearing? I'm trying to fix an unsupported mod and I basically know what to do but this is the last thing I need to know

[marble latch]

can someone help in tiny terms

[wind compass]

you cursed

[lament prairie]

You have two copies of content patcher

[marble latch]

yeah i got that

[lament prairie]

Since you posted a picture, I can't highlight the areas that say exactly where the two copies are located

but the error message tells you

[lament prairie]

Are you sure that is the right folder, and that that's the whole folder?

[lament prairie]

!log can you post the whole log

[native dragon]

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

[marble latch]

log for what

[lament prairie]

see the instructions on the site

[marble latch]

https://smapi.io/log/cdf8cdc63c5d4034bfa9fa45de91e256

[lament prairie]

what happens if you relaunch the game and get a new log?

[marble latch]

running it again

[placid plover]

Specifically I'm looking through here (https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/stable/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/tokens.md) and I don't see any tokens specifically targeting what the player is wearing, and I'm wondering if that is even possible or if there is a way around that

[marble latch]

want another link?

[warm grove]

yes cause we cant see the changes on the page unless you do

[lament prairie]

Sure!

[marble latch]

cool okay hold on

[lament prairie]

With the caveat that I’m going to sleep soon

[quartz dust]

is thios bad

[marble latch]

https://smapi.io/log/1dbe51f8804b4fe49446f21908ef8de6

[warm grove]

oof berry

[quartz dust]

hhow bad is it

[warm grove]

uh its an xml exception so...

did you ever use a mod that replaces a base game file?

[lament prairie]

That’s probably a corrupted save

[quartz dust]

um idk ill just show u what i think u mean

[warm grove]

oof

[quartz dust]

oh i only have one save

[lament prairie]

Missing root element is almost always a corrupted save

!saves

[native dragon]

Use this guide to find your save files: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Saves.

[lament prairie]

The game stores a backup

[marble latch]

idc about save files

i have nothing important

[lament prairie]

Looks fixed?

[warm grove]

wait they havent even loaded into the menu for save files

[quartz dust]

so how muh will it matter?

[lament prairie]

Max or Berry?

[quartz dust]

i have this

[marble latch]

this isnt bad?

[warm grove]

nah

smapi isnt a mod itself so you can delete those folders

[marble latch]

alright so my stardew expanded n stuff will work

[warm grove]

should work max

[marble latch]

thanks!

[lament prairie]

Berry has a corrupted save, Max’s looks fine

[quartz dust]

oh so what will it do?

[lament prairie]

It won’t open

The save is broken

You can try rolling back to a previous save

[quartz dust]

oh but i always open it and its fine it just takes a bit to load

[lament prairie]

You can try then

It could be a different save

[quartz dust]

and the root element has been missing for a while by now

[lament prairie]

Uh are you are it’s on the save you’re playing on and not a different saves

[quartz dust]

um i only have 1 save

[placid plover]

I feel very hesitant pinging you since ik you're probably super busy but @tired brook

[lament prairie]

Well if it works?

[quartz dust]

it does work

[lament prairie]

Usually missing root element is very bad, idk why yours is fine

[quartz dust]

oh alr

well if i go to play vanilla will it matter much?

[warm grove]

wait

were you playing that save on modded then loaded it in vanilla?

[quartz dust]

i most likely wont but will it matter?

[quartz dust]

nonono i just wanted to know

[warm grove]

cause loading modded saves in vanilla wont work and will cause problems

[quartz dust]

i havent played vanilla in a while

oh alr so i start a new save on vanilla?

[warm grove]

absolutly

[quartz dust]

alr ty but is the root element thing still super bad or no-?

and how do i fix it?

[warm grove]

never load ANY saves on ANY games that has been modded in vanilla

it will 100% mess up the save often permenantly

[quartz dust]

alr i think i opened it once before but nothing happened

[warm grove]

if you open it in stardew its fine but dont ever save

if you save its dead

[quartz dust]

i just wont from now on but should i fix the root element somehow>?

oh how so?

does it just get rid of all the mods?

[warm grove]

like it just will forever not load

even adding the mods back wont help at that point

[quartz dust]

oof alr

[warm grove]

its like telling the game to load assets that no longer exist in locations that dont exist anymore in and then saving would be wiping all those other objects but there are still permenant traces that will kill the file entirely

[tired brook]

Tokens are limited to updating when the day starts, when you warp, or when the in-game time changes. So more realtime tokens like equipped items wouldn't work well, since they wouldn't update until the next context update. More realtime updates are planned for future versions though.

[crimson aspen]

i'm having some trouble with downloading SMAPI, where/what is the "file path to the game directory"?

[quartz dust]

0ok so i DONT open the save in vanilla. got it.

i still kinda wanna know how to fix the root element if i can

[placid plover]

Ok that makes sense, I'll be looking forward to future updates then. Thank you!

[warm grove]

i... im not sure how to fix that myself...

[quartz dust]

oh alr i just wont then

[warm grove]

i havent run into that error so i dont even know what it means really

[quartz dust]

ill just play like usual but i do usually have to restart it maybe once or twice each day

[crimson aspen]

(bringing this down so it doesn't get lost.)

[tired brook]

It's the path to your game folder (the one usually starting with C:\Program Files (x86)\...). See https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Game_folder for help finding it.

[crimson aspen]

thanks!

[warm grove]

hey pathos i wanted to tell you but i subbed to your patreon out of respect for your work and help with the most recent lag issues i had. Thanks so much for maintaining smapi :)

[crimson aspen]

?? i downloaded the content patcher already.

[hoary bane]

Did you unzip it?

Also you need Shop tile framework.

[crimson aspen]

idk how to do that

[hoary bane]

!unzip

[native dragon]

@crimson aspen Files with the extension .zip, .rar, or .7z are archive files, which you can extract to get the actual files inside. For a .zip file, just right-click (or long-press on Android) it and choose the option like extract or uncompress. For .rar and .7z, you need to install third-party software first, like 7-zip https://7-zip.org on Windows, Keka https://keka.io on macOS, PeaZip https://peazip.github.io on Linux, or ZArchiver https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver on Android.

[crimson aspen]

where do i get that from

[crimson aspen]

ty ty

[hoary bane]

Nexus.

[tired brook]

Thanks for the support!

[neat plaza]

oh hello pathos
i have a question
for no reason at all.. did farmhand ever get a public release of any kind

[warm grove]

nope. farmhand dev quit

[tired brook]

The code is here if you're interested: https://github.com/ClxS/Stardew-Farmhand.

[warm grove]

apparently it was just too complex to maintain according to pathos's patreon post on it

[quartz dust]

just a small thing- do i put both files of this into the mod file?

[alpine ginkgo]

You can safely get rid of the MACOSX file.

[quartz dust]

alr ty so i just transfer the folder?

or do i have to delete the macosx file

[alpine ginkgo]

I usually just delete it, it doesn't do anything since you're on Windows.

[quartz dust]

alr tyty

oh wait hang on so i delete the file? but keep the png

i didnt notice which was macosx

[alpine ginkgo]

Yeah, you'll wanna keep the PNG! I'm assuming it's a reskin of the tractor garage?

[quartz dust]

yeah it is

[crimson aspen]

what do i do now, to fix that

[quartz dust]

but theres like more than one retexture

like its a seasonal retexture

ill just delete macosx but tyty

[neat plaza]

Does it work with smapi mods from the era?

[crimson aspen]

when starting the game it's also zoomed in stuff?? and i assume this is a settings issue within the game but idk how to fix that. (this screenshot is on maximum zoom out via the zoom buttons below the wallet)

[tired brook]

We kept the Farmhand and SMAPI APIs roughly equivalent so mods could migrate to Farmhand if it was finished, but I'm not sure whether Farmhand could run SMAPI mods directly. I never worked with Farmhand myself.

[wind compass]

youre cool dude :)

[neat plaza]

ah
i might test that later

[tired brook]

Thanks!

[long brook]

check your content patcher mod folder

[hoary bane]

Redownload Content patcher.

[long brook]

is there a mod that you apply recently and make your setting changed? everytime i make new farm i should change those zoom settings anyway so might as well checked the setting first

[crimson aspen]

i think i fixed it, there was an extra folder with numbers at the end which i removed. it now seems to be working

[crimson aspen]

i don't recall how to change the settings to make it zoom out more than the buttons allow

i believe i had this issue before and i had to do something to fix it but i dont remember what

and that was without mods

[long brook]

there is two zoom setting on game setting, one for the game and one for ui

[crimson aspen]

i am aware, but before downloading these mods i was able to zoom out more for the actual game/graphics (not the ui)

[long brook]

ah i thought you asked about ui stuff

[naive drum]

Folders named _MACOSX can always be deleted, they're Mac system organizational files that get included in zips made on Mac computers. If you're not on Mac they don't do anything at all

If you're on Mac you probably won't be seeing them, but you might see desktop.ini files from zips made on Windows (which can also be deleted)

[crimson aspen]

(@/outsidethebox) i was talking about the general game. before downloading the mods on my game i had it set so it was zoomed to perfectly fit the bus stop location from left/right (therefore the view would not shift as i moved across the entire location) without any black gaps on the edges. now it will not zoom out that far.

[alpine ginkgo]

Ooh, I actually never knew what those files were, just that they were useless. I assumed that they did something for Mac, so I guess I learned something new today. (Which isn't that surprising because I'm not super computer savvy, and I'm illiterate when it comes to MacOS.)

[quartz dust]

oh alr then ty

[ornate tide]

!startuppref uh i have absolutely no idea if this will ever solve your problem, if not there are mods for zoom level

[native dragon]

If your resolution is messed up try deleting startup_preferences This can be found on Windows at %appdata% > Stardew Valley > it's in that folder, or C:\Users\Yourwindowsnamehere\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley or for Mac can be found at ~/.config/StardewValley To get here you'll want to go to your desktop, then in the menu bar select Go -> Go to Folder...

[dusty spruce]

also Thumbs.db

[ember fog]

Hello, a question, any version of UI info suite works on Android?

[loud linden]

Does anyone know if the adventuress’s guild mod and the stardew expanded work together??

[neat plaza]

whats adventurer's guild mod

[loud linden]

Adventurer’s guild expanded

[solemn jasper]

@loud linden yeah

it's working together

[loud linden]

Ok Ty

[solemn jasper]

@loud linden read mod description carefully they write to compatible section u can see

[loud linden]

Oh tysm

[cerulean swallow]

how can I update my mods?

do I have to delete the old one and re-download it ?

[ornate tide]

yes

[warm hinge]

hello can anyone help me and explain how to activate the coop mode in smapi?
i play on pc over xbox gammepass

[keen crow]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Multiplayer#Join_a_world

[warm hinge]

this is only for the standard version and not the modded one

when I go to coop, the window just like the one in the picture appears

[unique wind]

Coop doesn't change in modded, something must have gone wrong when installing

[scarlet hollow]

How do i install the latest smapi on my Android device, I tried downloading the smapi file from the main website but it was a zip file not an apk

[warm hinge]

on smapi or the original version?

[ornate tide]

.q 5906 something something this is the only reference I know of

[devout pumice]

Syntax: .quote [#|nick|add|edit|remove] [#|"quote"] [- nick] | On Discord? React to a message with 💬

[ornate tide]

wrong thing.. whoops

oh wait im not a mod author i dont know how to use that?

heres what the message is supposed to be #archived-modded-support message

[devout pumice]

[#5906] "So, I realized where I messed up, I have restarted a few times and it is working consistently now. Following the steps on the wiki, I made a copy of the API file and renamed that and tht was when it wasnt working. All I actually changed was that the actually API file i renamed to Stardew Valley before making a copy to use as a shortcut. There was also 2 seperate files labeled just Stardew Valley both of which I changed to Stardew Valley - Vanilla . When these 2 things were done in tandem it began to function properly. Just wanted to put out there what actually worked in case someone else comes across it." - @celest lagoon (26 Mar 2022 @ 04:52:53 AM UTC)

[hoary bane]

It's a little sensitive to messages pfft.

[ornate tide]

alright thanks ren im a bit dumb

[hoary bane]

Nah, I do that all the time myself.

[floral quarry]

does anyone know how to fix an "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error?
My modded multiplayer game crashed mid save and now whenever I tried to save, it does this infinite error. not only that, all the items in the chest have changed and messed up.
here's my smpai log : https://smapi.io/log/7a0550b5d9844a40a50a9f119d835f14

[naive drum]

With C# mods like Automate and Content Patcher, you can usually overwrite the old version of the mod folder with the new one if you took them both out of their zips in a way that doesn't leave trailing numbers

Such as the Extract All option from 7zip, or opening the folder and dragging the contents out

(I use this to avoid having to redo any config changes I've made)

[naive drum]

!androidsmapi

[native dragon]

@scarlet hollow 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.

[pulsar jolt]

Got an issue where the output of my artisan products is no longer to the quality of the input. Used to work fine, in a new save it stopped working, and the only thing I changed were updating a few mods.
https://smapi.io/log/d25097b45c71425ba2a8b924b43376cf
Iindustrual stills and similiar still convert properly, it is just normal kegs and mayonaise makers that won't do their job properly.

[naive drum]

odd...

specifically kegs and mayo machines, not other vanilla machines like preserve jars?

[pulsar jolt]

Gimme a sec to test that.

[naive drum]

I see y ou have both Walk of Life and my mod, Quality Artisan Products
these mods clash a little - they both change the quality system to the output-depends-on-input system, but in different ways

Walk of Life does it conditionally, my mod doesn't

[pulsar jolt]

Preserve jars also have the same issue.

Mhm. If they clash, then I could remove quality artisan products and see if that works.

[naive drum]

Do you have the Artisan profession?

Walk of Life only does those changes if you have the Artisan profession

[pulsar jolt]

No, don't have the artisan profession.

But that would explain why it used to work on the other savegame.

I had the artisan profession there.

[naive drum]

Yeah

Sounds like Walk of Life is totally overriding QAP

[pulsar jolt]

Darn.

[icy dragon]

can anyone help me

i pasted the pathing it said to use into steam launch options

[shy orbit]

the smapi version is pretty old, so try updating it

[naive drum]

Yeah, we're up to SMAPI 3.14.7 and you're still on 3.10

[icy dragon]

oh alright

will i have to remove my mods from the mods folder

or can i just update it as is

[pulsar jolt]

No.

Just update.

[icy dragon]

okay thanks

[pulsar jolt]

Also!

The command line for steam should be something like: "<Path to stardew>\Stardew Valley\StardewModdingAPI.exe" %command%"

The %command% at the end is important.

[icy dragon]

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

thats what it is for me

[naive drum]

Yep that looks correct

[pulsar jolt]

Yep.

[icy dragon]

cool thank you guys

[naive drum]

Also you don't have to uninstall the old SMAPI before installing the new SMAPI, the SMAPI installer cleans up after itself

[icy dragon]

so i just go to smapi website and install like latest one right

[pulsar jolt]

Yup!

[icy dragon]

👍

am i going to need to update my mods as well

because now the game wont even launch :)

[naive drum]

!reset if you did anything with the content folder

[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 :)

[icy dragon]

ayyy

verifying integrity fixed it

thank you so much!

[dire fractal]

https://smapi.io/log/69e064a6cde14347848b14ab7ef39688 what does this error mean?

[neat plaza]

mod A replies on mod B, but mod B also relies on mod A

(they rely on eachother)

[dire fractal]

@shy sparrow

Tried to remove one to see if it fixed it and nope.

[dire fractal]

So I can only get it to work if I remove The No Built in Kitchen and the Buildable Kitchen one. If I have either one of those two, it won't work.

Ok by going into no built in kitchen and deleting the dependencies line for Bigger Farm House. It works now.

[pulsar jolt]

Question: Is there an alternative to sleep worker, which doesn't play nice with 1.5 onwards.

[pulsar jolt]

Is there a way to look up which item/Recipe is added by a mod in the game, because for some reason does my mayonaise machine turn Goose Eggs -> Goose Mayonaise -> Goose Berry's.

[snow prism]

you can search your mod folder for "goose berry"

[pulsar jolt]

I did hunt it down, the goose berry is from PPJA Fruits and Veggies.

But I don't see any producer jsoon file that tells the game 'Hey, you know what, your mayonaise machine should turn goose mayonaise into berry's.

[pulsar jolt]

...

I.

I give up. I have no idea what caused that.

I restarted the game and now the mayonaise production from goose eggs is FINE!

[naive drum]

Bizarre!!

[unborn sparrow]

hey im trying to use the fashion sense mod and everytime i put my files into the error log it says i need to update smapi
but i did that and its still not working, can somsone help me figure out what im doing wrong please?

[shy sparrow]

Um what wait, bigger farmhouse now has a config that removes the built in kitchen. You don't need to have No Built In Kitchen as well.

Was the config not working?

[dire fractal]

Yea I found that out, just got done playing and found that out with the config menu and reading the mod page more.

Haven't gotten to respond to my old message yet

[shy sparrow]

Oh yay, so er, no bugs?

[dire fractal]

Nope everything works well

A quick question

[shy sparrow]

Nice!

[dire fractal]

For the bathroom extension, is it suppose to be on the bottom of the house now?

Wanted to make sure that was correct

[shy sparrow]

Yup, that was the only good place for it

Based on the original layout

I kinda like that the floorplan looks like a key too

[dire fractal]

Awesome, just wanted to make sure. And yea I thought it looked like a Key too lol. Thank you!

[hard canopy]

can you get your smapi log

[unborn sparrow]

yea one sec

i have the new smapi update in my mod files but it isnt showing up here

https://smapi.io/log/ac3d75b9b5f346d391f37174ddf21ef6

[hard canopy]

did you install the new smapi update?

or did you just put it in

when you unzip it you have to run the batch file

[unborn sparrow]

wheres the batch file?

ill do that rn though im not sure i did that lmao

[hard canopy]

you didnt

it says so in the log

so go to the folder for the smapi update

click on install on windows.bat

then follow the instructions and you can delete the installer file

[unborn sparrow]

ahh alright that makes sense

thank you!

[hard canopy]

if you still have issues let me know

[obtuse fox]

Hello everybody. I found the problem why the Ridgeside Village mod wasn't working. That was due to the Lotus Farm costume card. Can someone tell me if the mod is incompatible with all custom maps? 😦

[hard canopy]

what mod are you talking about

[obtuse fox]

Ridgeside Village

[hard canopy]

what do you mean with lotus farm costume card

[vestal parcel]

Does anyone know why i get this? " Stardew Valley Expanded 1.14.11 because it requires mods which aren't installed (FlashShifter.JA.SVE, FlashShifter.SAAT.SVE, FlashShifter.StardewValleyExpandedALL, FlashShifter.SVE-FTM).

[hard canopy]

probably a bad download

try deleting and installing again

[vestal parcel]

okay

[cedar warren]

Hello!
I'll ask here too - can anybody help me download a mod from chucklefish forums? I can't download it because I can't register an account properly.

[vestal parcel]

do i have too unzip once or twice till i get the [CP]?

[obtuse falcon]

Can someone suggest me a mod pack?

[hard canopy]

there is not a zip file inside of the zip?

you put the root folder in your mods folder and delete the original zip file

[dire fractal]

is there a fix for stardew freezing very often and for like 2-5 secs?

[hard canopy]

get rid of some mods

or just keep playing it eventually stopped for me

[dire fractal]

it happens more the more i play 😭

[hard canopy]

then your computer cant handle your mods

what mods are you running

[dire fractal]

quite a lot

[hard canopy]

try to go through and get rid of anything you dont play with

or if you want to go extreme mode delete all your mods and try to only install mods you cannot play without

[floral quarry]

posted this a while ago and didn't get any response back, tried fixing it and had no luck. anyone know what this means?

[dusty spruce]

it means "try asking DaLion"

[floral quarry]

DaLion ?

[dire fractal]

immersive ponds

[dusty spruce]

the author of Immersive Ponds, yes

[floral quarry]

yeah, I saw that and gave reinstalling and removing the mod a go (obviously didn't work) , so should I ping the guy or dm him ?

[shy sparrow]

almost always ping someone if you haven't spoken to them before

@stray spire

[dreamy idol]

is it true that torches/light sources contributes to desync in co-op?

[crimson lichen]

do mods that require CF not work?

[lament prairie]

Maybe? They had been working until recently

The last 3 people with issues I told them to convert their CF mods to DGA

[crimson lichen]

the mod requires it

[lament prairie]

https://github.com/elizabethcd/FurnitureConverter

What mod requires CF and isn't a content pack?

[crimson lichen]

it is that cinderella mod

[lament prairie]

Uhh...do they say why?

[crimson lichen]

translated it says this "Necessary when adding original furniture. option" so i'm guessing it's optional?

[lament prairie]

Yeah, agree

[crimson lichen]

on the description it says "
Is necessary. Mod to add furniture." tho

i'll try it without it and see how much it breaks

[lament prairie]

There's a CF furniture pack in the original mod

In the optional folder

[crimson lichen]

o

ok so it's optional

cool

[lament prairie]

I'm fairly sure that removing CF will only cause that content pack to fail to load

[crimson lichen]

ok good

it looks really cute so i wanted to try it out

ty

[outer mesa]

I need some help...

😮‍💨 I don't really know why but... something weird is happening

[hoary bane]

!howtoask

[native dragon]

When asking for help with modding issues, please:

• Ask in #archived-modded-support
• Try to explain what the issue or problem is. Please be specific!
• If it's SMAPI installation related, please state whether you're using Windows/Mac/Linux and Steam/GOG/Gamepass.
• Provide a log if you have one (see https://smapi.io/log for instructions). Please provide a log even if there's no errors or warnings! If you are playing multiplayer, we will need a log from every player.

[outer mesa]

Oh! Thanks!

So... when I try to open Stardew Valley Modded, this error keeps popping every time I open it... It only started happening when I tried installing the latest version of SMAPI.. and well I changed a file...

This is the error:

Unhandled exception. System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'System.BadImageFormatException' from assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.

[lament prairie]

Are you on the compatibility branch?

[outer mesa]

Compatibility branch?

What's that...?

[lament prairie]

!legacymodding

[native dragon]

If your computer is older, in some cases you may need to use the compatibility branch in order to play Stardew Valley, but SMAPI does not run with the compatibility branch. See here for more details: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide/Troubleshooting#SMAPI_doesn.27t_work_with_compatibility_branch

[outer mesa]

My computer isn't old

[lament prairie]

Okay, does the game work for you without mods?

And which file did you change?

[outer mesa]

I think... I think I fixed it it's working now

But I'll still tell you the file I changed

Stardew Valley.deps.json it was this file

[lament prairie]

Ah

That one does sometimes cause trouble

[outer mesa]

Well it's all fixed now, I got it working

What I did was... uninstall and reinstall and then installed SMAPI again but I saved my worls before doing all this so it's all good

When I try to install new updates from SMAPI, will it mess up my worlds?

[dire fractal]

hello, i have a problem about smapi. can someone help me?

this is how my screen look like when i open game

and this is how supposed to be look like

[dire fractal]

whats the problem

isnt smapi supposed to look like that

[foggy echo]

hi everyone, could someone help me figure out what's gone wrong with my game? it was working absolutely fine before today, I updated SMAPI and installed some more mods and the game runs like always, loads in fine, but when I go to end the day by sleeping, it just stays stuck on a black screen and SMAPI shows me loads of errors. I'm not very well-versed in coding and stuff like that so if someone could help me out I'd really appreciate it :( here's my error log: https://smapi.io/log/3f9db005e8854efabccdad353ea56e97

You might have gotten a fish pond Json shuffle

help how do i install mods

hi. I'm having trouble because every time I try to open stardew valley smapi opens up it displays this and then it closes the window
https://smapi.io/log/36165bbb3cc1459d90e87b23be29ac65

[shy orbit]

Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio.NoAudioHardwareException this at least usually means that the game doesn't have access to an audio device it can use (i don't know how to fix it if rebooting the computer doesn't)

[signal leaf]

Thank you!

[dapper gazelle]

VPR has an option to turn off Big Craftables in the config file so you shouldn't have to completely remove it. Just as a heads up! This worked for me when I ran into an issue with VPR and Gwen's craftables that was weirdly triggered after an SVE update last year.

[lament prairie]

!aremodssafe

[native dragon]

Sometimes mods get flagged by overzealous antiviruses. If you're really worried about viruses in mods you can:

• download from Nexus or Moddrop, which check all files for viruses automatically
• preview the file contents on Nexus to see what you're downloading (content packs containing only images and json files are highly unlikely to be viruses)
• view the source code for most C# mods on Github by going to smapi.io/mods and checking the advanced options
• download and compile the source code yourself

!modmanagerbugs

[native dragon]

Vortex (Nexus) and ModDrop both are mod managers that can help you keep your mods up to date. However, they can cause bizarre issues and are difficult to troubleshoot.

If you're using a mod manager and ask for help troubleshooting, we probably can't help you if the issue is related to the mod manager. You can try asking the mod manager servers for help instead.

its on spring_town

lol

[shell jackal]

Then it must have changed cause it doesn't looks like any vanilla tree on the wiki page

[desert lodge]

just to make sure its not a planted tree, its just a tree on the town

[shell jackal]

Ohhhh....

I thought it was like an oak tree or a maple tree

[desert lodge]

yeah its vanilla actually

Have you run the game with it installed once?

You have to do that for the config.json to be created

(Copied from tech-support) Hi, I noticed a bug with my game, and hoping others can help. I don't seem to have any of the fish or recipes in my game from version 1.4. I seen someone once posted the same issue on Reddit, but it was never answered. (I am playing with mods, used SMAPI to confirm items are missing)

[glass pendant]

Is East Scarp very compatible with Ridgeside and SVE?

[ornate tide]

yes

[glass pendant]

Awesome Tyty

[tribal spear]

Yeah idk what is making it freeze?? I know a new mod I added today was the Ridgeside Village, but idk if that would impact it loading

[lament prairie]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[lament prairie]

Have you checked that the game is whitelisted in your antivirus? That can greatly increase load times

[tribal spear]

I haven't, but I've had this game for awhile and all I did today was add/update the mods and the game loads without the mods in it

[lament prairie]

Sometimes the antivirus freaks out rnadomly

Adding new files is something that can trigger it

[tribal spear]

I did test it by taking the files out and opening the game and it worked fine so idk if that changes the antivirus when I put files in?

[lament prairie]

Not sure, I don't understand antiviruses

Also, having RSV, ES, and SVE is big, so it could take a while, but it should not take hours

[tribal spear]

yeah I thought so too. Like I never had an issue with SVE, but idk. Im testing it now to see if I can pinpoint what stops the game

[split ledge]

Are you wanting me to do something first that will be worth logging? Cause I'm not getting a crash or anything, the items just don't seem to exist

[lament prairie]

I want to check your mods for anything obvious that would cause this, and narrow down which ones edit ObjectInformation

[faint ibex]

thank you

[lament prairie]

Okay, can you try a reset just in case? Very rarely, even when you don't use xnb mods, it fixes things. And it shouldn't hurt your game or saves.

!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 :)

[split ledge]

So, Reset means to verify integrity files? (Just want to make sure before doing so)

[lament prairie]

Yes

[tribal spear]

okay so SV doesnt even wanna load with SVE

• TMEX-Settings because it contains files, but none of them are manifest.json <- Could this be an issue??

[shell jackal]

Did you manually install or use a mod manager like Vortex?

[tribal spear]

manually install

[lament prairie]

That's usually just an indication there's a random extra folder lying around

[tribal spear]

so does it mean I dont need that or is it in the wrong spot?

[lament prairie]

Unclear, I have no idea from the name which mod it's from

[tribal spear]

I have TMXLoader though idk why that one is TMEX

[split ledge]

That seemed to work. There were 38 missing files apparently. Thanks 🙂

[lament prairie]

Nice! Glad it helped

[tribal spear]

Ok I think it was legit that folder though idk where it came from

Although now Im trying to load a game and see if itll work, but its freezing up again

[little hazel]

So, if i were to download furniture mods would i have to get rid of/replace the current furniture file in the tile folder? Or would there be another way to do it

[alpine ginkgo]

!cp

[native dragon]

Content Patcher (https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1915) is a mod which loads content packs to change the game's images and data without replacing XNB files. If you want to make mods using Content Patcher, start at https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Content_Patcher.

[shell jackal]

Do you mean CP, DGA, or CF?

Or AT?

[alpine ginkgo]

Either way, there's no need to replace game files.

[shell jackal]

True

[alpine ginkgo]

I just listed Content Patcher, but like Amariel said, there are frameworks that allow new furniture to be added that doesn't replace vanilla furniture! And AT is always a fun one to use, lets you customize your furniture.

[little hazel]

thank you!

[shell jackal]

The only downside to AT, at least for me, is I don't know what pieces are replaced with what. xD At least with CF you can see what's what.

[lament prairie]

CF is buggy and I recommend DGA over it

I have a script to convert CF to DGA

https://github.com/elizabethcd/FurnitureConverter

People keep coming here with NREs from CF

And like...I can fix an NRE in a mod I wrote, but hunting it down in someone else's is annoying as heck

NREs are a pain

[alpine ginkgo]

Oooh, I've been thinking of converting some old CF mods for personal use, this looks super helpful!

[lament prairie]

It should do pretty much everything automatically, other than some particular chair things

After the new release of DGA (if casey accepts my PR) some of those chair things should also be less annoying

[shell jackal]

NREs?

[lament prairie]

Null reference exception

[shell jackal]

Ah

[lament prairie]

Somewhere, buried in the code, something is "null" (nonexistent) that should not be

Previously I had seen this meaning a CF pack mismatch or removed CF pack

But recently people were reporting it when they were sure their packs matched and had just placed the furniture

So idk if CF is newly even more broken, or what

[shell jackal]

I may try to convert the remaining CF mods I use to AT. CF doesn't seem to be acting up for me, but better safe

[lament prairie]

Yeah, for wahtever reason CF has always been uneven for different users

[shell jackal]

Good lord I have 20... xD

[lament prairie]

It worked well for me for a good while where people were reporting weird bugs

Then I got into DGA and well, the rest is history

[shell jackal]

Does DGA work with animated items?

[lament prairie]

Yes, although you probably have to convert the animations by hand

because I'm pretty bad at CF formats due to the complete lack of documentation argh

When I get around to finishing the chairs stuff, I'll try tackling animations next

The format really isn't hard, but it might be annoying to fit into the spritesheet generation code I have

Maybe I'll cave and make them separate spritesheets

linux doesn't get launch options (i thought)

Have you run the installer?

[shy sparrow]

Someone converted my kotatsu to CF. It kind of looks like the animations work like CPA where it's all in one loop

[lethal mantle]

omg im so sorry i litterally just forgot to install my mods i just downloaded them from nexus

im soooo sorry

im so embarsed

[lament prairie]

huh, interesting. I mean more like mechanistically I keep finding new things possible in CF

and no worries, ben

And also have no idea how the jsons are required to be formatted

[gaunt gust]

Should just work. If not, make a copy of StardewModdingAPI and rename it StardewValley (launch options are Windows only)

[lethal mantle]

oh elizabeth idk if u rembember me but i finnaly got smapi on my chromebook

im happy now

[gaunt gust]

(That was to Ben)

[lament prairie]

nice!

[coarse shard]

So uh yea totally forgot to download the expanded file

[blazing thicket]

Can anybody tell me if this mod is busted or if I did it wrong? The texture shows up behind the stone fence texture instead of replacing it.

[gaunt gust]

Vpr is overwriting - can you see if you can disable fences in vpr' s config?

[blazing thicket]

That fixed it! 😄

[agile hatch]

(I've been directed over here!)
Hey, I've gotten this error upon trying to take a screenshot, and I'm not sure how to remedy it. Any ideas would be helpful!

[lament prairie]

It's doing something wrong with trying to create a directory or a file that exists already

Especially wrong because that's the game folder??

Are you taking the screenshot by hand or with a mod?

Because I think that mod might be broken on macs or something

[agile hatch]

Ah that makes sense! I'm taking the screenshot in-game

By which I mean, the normal way, using the settings menu

[lament prairie]

Hmmm, that path shouldn’t be popping up

Does the error go away if you remove any screenshot mods?

Cause my screenshots folder is somewhere else

[agile hatch]

I don't have any screenshot specific mods going on that I'm aware of

The only mod that I can think would affect this would be the improved UI suite, but I don't believe it should

[lament prairie]

Hmm, can i get a log just in case?

!log

[native dragon]

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

[agile hatch]

Sure! https://smapi.io/log/0190a22744c14f2baa97a29ce320ee1f

I think that should work

[lament prairie]

Honestly, I'm really confused why it's trying to do that

When you click "open screenshots folder" or whatever it is in the game, where does it go?

Mine are in .local/share/StardewValley/Screenshots

[agile hatch]

Hold on, I've closed the game, lemme check

Okay, this is very strange. So I can't access the folder from within SdV because the button usually only pops up after the screenshot's been taken, right? And it's not even taking the screenshot to begin with. But I also can't find the folder elsewhere. Entering "~/.local/share/StardewValley/Screenshots" into finder turns up nothing.

[lament prairie]

try hitting command shift .

that should show hidden files

and then you can manually look for that folder

[agile hatch]

Okay

I'm not finding anything

[lament prairie]

Huh

[agile hatch]

This might just be my oversight, but I don't think it is

[lament prairie]

I'm not really sure what the issue is. If you uninstall smapi, or just launch stardew valley without smapi (you have to find the unix executable and launch), do the screenshots work again?

[agile hatch]

I'll give it a try

I still can't find the folder, but thank you so much for your help so far! I'm going to be busy for a bit now, but I'll look into this further online to see if I can find anything that works.

[lament prairie]

Ok, no worries, sorry we didn't find the issue!

[agile hatch]

No problem!

[hexed geyser]

actually everyone, even my friend are bugging and glitching for me and idk whats causing it, its like theyre lagging, im playing multiplayer with my friend

[craggy edge]

Any idea why I keep disconnecting from my friend's farm? Is it just bad internet, or are there certain mod(s) that could be causing too much lag..?
*I have profiler downloaded, if that helps.

[undone drum]

Just a question, with Cp looking for love, whenever I change the portraits for those older candidates it doesn't budge. Think it just sticks to the vanilla portraits, how do i change that?

[ember prawn]

hey i need help with getting mods on to the pc but i do have winrar and snapi installed

[crimson lichen]

does anyone know what this means and/or how to fix it?

[lament prairie]

Is this on mobile?

[unique wind]

looks like stardrop

[crimson lichen]

no i have an iphone

this is pc

[lament prairie]

does it need unzipping?

[unique wind]

stardrop usually just wants the zip files dragged into it

[crimson lichen]

i thought stardrop unzipped stuff?

[alpine ginkgo]

Oh, Elizabeth... You make mods on Mac, right? Stardrop won't unzip files with the MACOSX files, I've found.

[unique wind]

I would recommend following its instructions about looking at stardrops logs however

[craggy edge]

Have you looked at this link already? https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Player_Guide

[lament prairie]

oh dear....that would be it

[alpine ginkgo]

Unzip the file, delete the Mac files, and compress again. That's what I do.

[crimson lichen]

i see, i didn't know stardrop didn't unzip macos made stuff

[lament prairie]

I can't even see the macosx files on a mac

[crimson lichen]

i also didn't know this was made on macos

[crimson lichen]

ty

[lament prairie]

@oblique jay is this a known bug in Stardrop (being unable to unzip MacOS-zipped files)?

[trail python]

i need help with figuring out why me and my friends modded server is crashing but its only crashing for me. here is my smapi log https://smapi.io/log/4cca7e40a0eb43e3974a51cea7d0fdcd

[lament prairie]

custom furniture is sad

it's throw NREs, try checking your CF mods match

[oblique jay]

Hm, this is the first I am hearing of this. Stardrop tries to remove the MacOS specific file (__MACOSX) that is added when compressed on MacOS, but it should only do so on non-Mac systems.

(Oh, I seemed to have had to removed regardless of operating system. Not sure if that is causing any issues, don't know if the __MACOSX is used at all).

[lament prairie]

Could you post a Stardrop log to help peaceful?

[ember prawn]

yes but my mind is difficult and i do need someone to show me step by step like screen share so im on the same page as the person is helping me and im new to mods

[crimson lichen]

yeah sure gimme a sec

how do you want me to post it?

also the make gil real mod can't be found either

[oblique jay]

You can send it directly to me if you prefer or in my channel on the modding server (as we are both a part of it). Here works too!

[crimson lichen]

as a zip?

[oblique jay]

It should just a text file, no need for compression.

[crimson lichen]

ok just paste it?

[oblique jay]

If you mean copy and paste the log file itself, yes! If you copy and paste the text you may hit the Discord text limit.

[craggy edge]

question bump

[lament prairie]

george has a bad schedule, which might indicate some kind of map difference if the host doesn't have the same error

[craggy edge]

Would that cause a disconnect?

[lament prairie]

if the game maps are different enough, maybe

[unique wind]

also the farmer name with symbols is preventing the actual log documenting why the disconnect is happening from being written

[lament prairie]

having different maps is one of the things that's a no-no in multiplayer

[craggy edge]

Oh. :') Can I change my farmer name with console commands?
looked it up, sorry for the @ !

[olive patrol]

How do you download smapi 3.14.7 from smapi io?

It gives me a zip file

[ember prawn]

you winrar

[olive patrol]

?

[ember prawn]

its a program that you need to extract

[alpine ginkgo]

Use a program like WinRar or 7Zip to decompress, and then run the installer found inside the folder.

[olive patrol]

Kk

[crimson lichen]

the make gil real also has mac files

once i got rid of the mac files, they both unzipped fine

[topaz olive]

Someone help, I accidently played a modded file without mods and now more than half my mods don't load.

[craggy edge]

Do you have the mod SaveBackup?

It comes as a default in the mods folder iirc

[topaz olive]

yes

which of the three files do I use?

[hollow blaze]

does anyone know the mod name that allows me to romance normally non romancble npcs i cant find it

[crimson lichen]

looking for love?

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/10206

[hollow blaze]

yea looks like it works, not the one i used before but that was 9 months ago and i dont remember its name

[trail python]

what are NREs

[lament prairie]

null reference exceptions

[dire fractal]

idk if this is too much of an ask, but i'm trying to install this (properly extracted and inserted into mods folder) and it just won't appear or work https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2080?tab=posts

[lament prairie]

possibly a furniture is just..bad soemwhere

[lament prairie]

!log

[native dragon]

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

[trail python]

ugh thats so much work thank you

[dire fractal]

ok

1s

[craggy edge]

Go to your Stardew Valley folder (not the mods folder), and look for 📁 save-backups. It should be listed by date, hopefully you have one that's recent/before the accidental "farm breaking". Find whichever backup of your farm you need, it'll be something like Farm Name_456713154767852 (random numbers) and copy that folder.

Next, hit Windows + R, and type in %appdata%\StardewValley\Saves and you should see your save folders. Delete the one you're replacing, hit Ctrl+V and paste in the backup, reboot and see how it goes.

(If I wrote incorrect directions, someone pls tell me.. this is what I've done to back up my farms tho)

---

I updated my farmer's name with console commands and that fixed the game from crashing every time I disconnected, but it didn't fix the frequency of disconnects. I also had my friend add SMAPI to the exceptions on his firewall, but no luck.

Here is my friend's log - https://smapi.io/log/9e7350ec21c644db8652a19d703bb76d

Here is my log (I have 4 extra mods, Love of Cooking UI Recolor, Starry Sky Interface, Soft Pink Weapons, and Pink Tools... shouldn't affect anyone bc it's just visual patches?) - https://smapi.io/log/82255428886246868e66a2684a9e4297

[dire fractal]

https://smapi.io/log/23f0179ad66f4c20bd4c871d06f9d46a

it's saying no errors

but doesn't appear ingame

[lament prairie]

What are you using to check that it's in the game?

[calm spindle]

For one thing your mods are not in sync, send your friend a zip of the host mods.

Even if its just visual.

[craggy edge]

He downloaded a Google Drive folder of all the mods.

[dire fractal]

i physically go inside the game and use item spawner to see if the textures have updated and if there's the little icon

[calm spindle]

Ah ok that is good, maybe I was mistaken when some mod versions looked different.

Uh try to set up direct IP if you can.

That helped us immensely.

[craggy edge]

I don't know what direct IP is. Sorry..

[calm spindle]

We havent gotten a single disconnect since doing that, over many hours now, and we are running sve + rsv

[calm spindle]

Towards the bottom of this: https://www.stardewvalley.net/multiplayer-troubleshooting-guide/

[wintry crypt]

i just came back after not playing for almost a year and now my mods wont work. ive updated them.

i get this on smapi

[dire fractal]

@lament prairie u there?

[topaz olive]

the only thing that comes up is the SMAPI error logs

[calm spindle]

Lots of the log messages self explanitory. Some mods just dont work anymore, or need more updated forks.

[craggy edge]

Did you put in %appdata%\StardewValley\ErrorLogs instead of %appdata%\StardewValley\Saves?

[calm spindle]

Oh and maybe because you are using vortex.

[wintry crypt]

ive updated sve and it still says it wont work.

i am using vortex

[calm spindle]

Use stardrop instead

Uh after enabling all the mods I think.

Vortex is problematic, especially with updates.

[wintry crypt]

ok

[dire fractal]

https://smapi.io/log/23f0179ad66f4c20bd4c871d06f9d46a trying to get these mods to work https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2080?tab=files
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2925, i installed them properly and there's no errors but they just won't appear ingame

[wintry crypt]

thanks

[calm spindle]

People say "its not made for SDV," but TBH its more fundamental than that. It seems to mess up with updates in general.

[lament prairie]

I agree the log looks fine, idk why it's not showing up. i would check manually by throwing something in a jar?

[calm spindle]

And sometimes the ui bugs out, some kind of async issue?

[dire fractal]

oh hey

yh sure

[lament prairie]

vortex also has 0 ways to troubleshoot afaik

[dire fractal]

all this vortex slander

i need to do away with it

its only because nexus made it seem really appealing

for the ease of downloading things

[lament prairie]

best defense against slander is that it's the truth 😛

[topaz olive]

ahh

[calm spindle]

Ive seen it overwrite mods when I told to replace, and the installed versions thing in the ui totally bug out... and I only used it for a few days.

[calm spindle]

Stardrop can auto download too.

[dire fractal]

i think that maybe the icons are disabled by default but i've looked thru all the text and cant find a way to enable

[calm spindle]

And I've had zero issues with it

[lament prairie]

wait, do you mean the tiny fruits on top?

i think those are a config

[dire fractal]

both, textures and fruits

fruits are more of a hassle tho

like at the beginning i had success rate with making the textures work

[dire fractal]

wait how

do i implement that

[lament prairie]

config.json in the mod folder i assume

i've never tried myself

[dire fractal]

there's a config yeah

but there's also a few other things

[topaz olive]

its still not laoding the mods into the game

[dire fractal]

all mods look like that tho

WTF

[dire fractal]

THANK YOU

YOU FOUND THE ENABLE FOLDER

[orchid socket]

how logn does a game usually take to load when you have space core installed

[lament prairie]

well, it depends on the other mods

takes me about 10 seconds if just spacecore probably

[dire fractal]

how in the hell did i miss that

omfg

[orchid socket]

expanded a d ridgeside village

takes like

3 mins to load a save

[lament prairie]

yeah those are far more relevant for load times than having spacecore installed

[orchid socket]

oh

[lament prairie]

if you have both spacecore and pytk that may increase load times, but rsv and sve are very big mods

[orchid socket]

oh yeah i have both of those

[dire fractal]

https://smapi.io/log/ed4f16fa62d04741b5b225ed54a3b4fa Can anyone tell me what the yellow error about smapi finding something wrong and fixing it? It said to check log for details but I couldn't find anything

[ornate tide]

its usually the map that was loaded before that warning

[dire fractal]

Ah I didn't see that, thank you.

[lament prairie]

you can also look in trace

[ornate tide]

oh yes forgot the 2nd part

[dire fractal]

Thank you both

[dire fractal]

why does my smapi winrar say this :C when i try to open it

! C:\Users\Mehek\OneDrive\Desktop\SMAPI-3.14.7-installer.zip: Cannot create C:\Users\Mehek\OneDrive\Desktop\SMAPI 3.14.7 installer\internal\windows\SMAPI.Installer.exe
Access is denied.

im using vortex instead of the manual now and its just stuck here :c

[ornate tide]

You cannot install smapi using a mod manager

have you tried unzipping it with a different extractor?

[dire fractal]

do u know any other extractors i could use by chance

[ornate tide]

!unzip

[native dragon]

Files with the extension .zip, .rar, or .7z are archive files, which you can extract to get the actual files inside. For a .zip file, just right-click (or long-press on Android) it and choose the option like extract or uncompress. For .rar and .7z, you need to install third-party software first, like 7-zip https://7-zip.org on Windows, Keka https://keka.io on macOS, PeaZip https://peazip.github.io on Linux, or ZArchiver https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver on Android.

[versed phoenix]

i just went to sleep and screen went black. after a bit, this showed up

[ornate tide]

Choose wait for program to respond, if you have a few bulky mods its just load times

[versed phoenix]

i dont have any bulky mods

[ornate tide]

none of those mods are bulky yea. Try pressing enter in the smapi console(the black window with text) a few times. Sometimes it just takes time to save and load the next day

[versed phoenix]

okay ty

[hexed edge]

Hey, Ive been using the Unlimited Players mod with a group of people however the game will randomly close connection every once in a while for 2-3 people. The others meanwhile have been able to play normally without crashes. Im the only one who has downloaded the mod while some have gotten the social tab patch for the mod and Im unable to find any pattern as to why.

So far we suspect that since the two players have joined and played before we added the mod, while the ones who keep losing connection joined after, that anyone who joined after adding the mod is getting the issue. We are testing it with one more person to see but they havent gotten the error yet.

Here are the links to the two downloaded mods.
Just in case this is relavent, all I have changed was setting the player limit to 30. I did get the Unlimited mod since I am the host however I decided to not download the social tab patch. Other than the Unlimited mod I have no others.

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2213?tab=description
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2981

[dire fractal]

its in my stardew files

now its still stuck through vortex

it never goes past

[ornate tide]

smapi is not a mod, its an installer though. Its best to manually download so you should cancel the vortex

[dire fractal]

oh okay so i should just manually do my mods instead of vortex

[ornate tide]

yeah, vortex isnt recommended as it can randomly delete files from mods

[calm spindle]

Max player count is a vanilla config now, but you have to edit it in the text file.

[hexed edge]

ah nice, havent used the mod in ages and I wasnt even the one to get it last time, ty

[calm spindle]

I definitely wouldnt use either one seeing how old they are

Even if they still "work"

[hexed edge]

yeah it was just the one I know some friends used like 2 years ago

so i can theoretically have around 15 people?

[calm spindle]

🤷

[hexed edge]

one way to find out, ty!

[calm spindle]

I would recommend pause in multiplayer or a similar mod though.

As well as direct IP if you are going to host that many players, if you arent already.

[hexed edge]

right now we currently have 8 but im expecting more

[calm spindle]

Days seem so short when time doesnt pause for cutscenes.

[hexed edge]

Agreed, especially difficult for newer players

[calm spindle]

And sometimes cutscenes get cut off at 2am I think.

[dire fractal]

huhh

[hexed edge]

I dont think they do? but I think right after you pass out

its been a while so idr

[calm spindle]

Ah but I think if you have a cutscene queued you dont get the next onr

[native dragon]

@calm spindle You leveled up to Farmer. You're now a prettier shade of blue. Thanks for sticking around!

[hexed edge]

ohh

[calm spindle]

And that can be problematic for mod quests... but not vanilla so much I dont think.

[hexed edge]

Only mods we planned on getting was the multiplayer, which hopefully wont be needed anymore, and maybe one a friend mentioned which can increase the size of the farm

but ive yet to look into it

[calm spindle]

Immersive farm 4 would be a good choice.

Imo

[hexed edge]

is this the mod you are referring to?
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/10328

[hexed edge]

I'll take a look, there are a few players who bought the game this week and one today so I want to make sure they dont get overwhelmed

[calm spindle]

Yep, also forget what I said about IF4 actually.

:P

It has too many required mods you dont want.

[dire fractal]

i tried getting the steam launch link and it said this

[calm spindle]

Also pause in multiplayer very rarely errors for us during certain cutscenes and events, but it seems harmless.

[hexed edge]

considering some people were getting disconnected twice a day...it cannot be worse than the unlimited multiplayer mod

[unique wind]

I made a local build last night which fixes that, planning on submitting it upstream if the dev is still active

[calm spindle]

Oh excellent.

[unique wind]

its erroring out trying to get all the monsters in the cutscene map, because as far as host is concerned, they aren't in a map at all

so its mostly harmless, but I don't think some paused functionality like monster lock will actually be locking them if those errors are showing up

[calm spindle]

Ah yeah that makes sense looking at the nullref

[unique wind]

and maybe the food/drink pause will also stop working as I think that runs afterwards

[calm spindle]

Also I cant reiterate enough... set up direct IP as host.

It seems to help a ton.

[hexed edge]

How would I do that? Or is it something I can look up easily

if so I'll look it up

[calm spindle]

https://www.stardewvalley.net/multiplayer-troubleshooting-guide/

[hexed edge]

ty!

[calm spindle]

Port forwarding is done on a router by router basis

But its usually not hard unless you are on dorm wifi or something odd like that.

[calm spindle]

Oh and the dev is active btw, and in discord I think

[calm spindle]

@round fiber ^

[unique wind]

https://github.com/jorgamun/PauseInMultiplayer/pull/5

[round fiber]

Yeah, just been having to finish up some other stuff before getting to the next update. Been shoving a lot of medical knowledge into my brain lately.

[calm spindle]

I havent tested this, but I'm 99% sure this is the issue our game was having too.

[unique wind]

its very easy to reproduce with RSV, as the cablecar cutscene reliably does it for me

[round fiber]

Oh wow, didn't realize I hadn't already done the null locations check. Absolutely was in there at one point, who knows when I screwed that back up lol. Good catch!

[unique wind]

looks like it closes issue 1 too

[round fiber]

I am almost done writing some stuff that does some research analytics on retinas. I'll be excited to have time for mod coding again

[unique wind]

though I don't get any of those symptoms with this error myself other than a very full console/log

[calm spindle]

That issue (frozen time) never appeared for us again.

And we have played many many hours since then. I kinda wrote it off as a fix from some coremod

Or maybe a conflict removed from spring cleaning.

[round fiber]

Okay, that was an interesting one I still wanna track down though. I've got some notions as to why it might have happened. There are actually way more mods than I expected that touch Stardew's internal variables for time, so a planned feature is internal robustness for managing that.

The hard part is always making sure it plays nicely with others haha 😉

[unique wind]

MultiplayerTime used magnetism iirc to try and detect if someone should be paused or not, but had issues with custom rings and 1.5 combined rings (and didn't do skull cavern fixes, buff fixes or pausing enemies)

[round fiber]

Yeah, my frustrations with that mod caused me to make this one tbh
