Discussion in 'User Interface' started by Kemenor, Mar 15, 2016.

    Description:
    Will show a menu with the NPC names and their locations open the menu with the "z" key and close it with "escape".
    The menu looks very simplistic.

    Updated:
    V 0.2:

    • Menu is now layered correctly
    • The key to open the menu is now rebindable in the config
    • Pressing the menu key when the menu is open, will now close it
    • Optimized drawing code
    V 0.3
    • Added Gamepad support

    Installation:
    Install Storm API:
    The mods are built against a specific version of the storm api, I can't promise it works with other versions of Storm.
    The github release page has a link to the currently used build.

    Configuration:
    Code:
    {
    
      "KeyboardKey": "Z",
      "ButtonKey": "LeftShoulder"
    }
    Possible values for ButtonKey(the gamepad button) can be found here in the Memeber name column: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xna.framework.input.buttons.aspx



    The download can be found here.: https://github.com/Kemenor/StardewValleyMods/releases/tag/0.3
    The current sources: https://github.com/Kemenor/StardewValleyMods

    Planned:

    • (Maybe) make it look nicer

      nice mod, sometimes its annoying having to look everywhere to find a certain NPC
      i have a suggestion for a change
      if possible, make it so the NPC are shown on the map
      i wanted that all the time

        I will look into it, but probably not today.

        Sidenote:
        updated to V0.2

          Would it be possible to make it a scrollable list, and add either portrait or sprite? I'm terrible at remembering names, but appearance is easy to commit to memory.

          Le edit: Also you might want to update the download link in your post, it still points to 0.1. :p

            I haven't seen a way to receive a mouse scroll event in Storm, a workaround would be to add buttons to scroll, but that will take some time to do and first I want to see if I can create a map with the NPCs on it.
            Fixed, Thank you

              orfeus369 Yeah, You!

              Nice mod! But I have a problem...
              If I right-click when the menu is open, my game closes!

                Buttons to scroll would be fine, I was mostly thinking any way to get sprites and/or portraits on there. Either would most likely make it too large to fitr on a single screen space.

                And of course, take your time. For now I can absolutely make use of this mod for the times when I actually recall the NPC names. :p

                  What a great idea! I need to install this. Really useful for the meeting everyone quest :p

                    Is there anyway to open up this menu on a controller?

                      Currently not, totally forgot controller support since i don't have one, I will add it tomorrow.
                      Could you tell me what button would work best as default button?

                        Probably either left or right bumper. As far as I know they aren't used for anything.

                          Ok added the gamepad support, button should also be configurable. Somebody needs to test it since I don't have a controller.

                            Just tested it now, and I can confirm that it works. Thanks.

                                To be honest, it being on the map would mean there's a purpose to the map screen. Right now it's little more than looking at once to go "so that's the basic layout of the place, got it".

                                  That actually would be helpful. I kinda imagine it like the one from Rune Factory 3 or Oceans.

                                    I've actually been working on this for a couple of days now (completely new to modding), currently for SMAPI but I plan to do it for Storm as well. It's a bit complicated since the map page isn't scaled to the actual game maps, so I had to manually figure out all the locations on the map page. I'll try to release a functional version today.

                                      I've already ported it to SMAPI and made a pull request, Kemenor just hasn't been on to accept it. See my fork on Github: https://github.com/cantorsdust/StardewValleyMods

                                        My mod works differently, instead of a list of NPC locations it places NPC markers directly on the map like so:
