Hello! I'm thinking about making Seasonal NPC Sprites and Portraits but I don't know anything about coding... I get the idea of basic use of Content Patcher(simple replacing Sprites and Portraits) but Tokens and Conditions area really confuses me... Would someone explain me how to code it? I still don't have any seasonal Sprites or Portraits yet... I'm redoing my Portrait mod to ease me when I do the seasonal version. My plan is to have outfits depending on the season, weather and festival. And if possible indoors and outdoors too. This is my basic plan. Abigail_Spring_Sun_Indoors Abigail_Spring_Sun_Outdoors Abigail_Spring_Rain_Indoors Abigail_Spring_Rain_Outdoors Abigail_Spring_Wind_Indoors Abigail_Spring_Wind_Outdoors Abigail_Summer_Sun_Indoors Abigail_Summer_Sun_Outdoors Abigail_Summer_Rain_Indoors Abigail_Summer_Rain_Outdoors Abigail_Fall_Sun_Indoors Abigail_Fall_Sun_Outdoors Abigail_Fall_Rain_Indoors Abigail_Fall_Rain_Outdoors Abigail_Fall_Wind_Indoors Abigail_Fall_Wind_Outdoors Abigail_Winter_Sun_Indoors Abigail_Winter_Sun_Outdoors Abigail_Winter_Snow_Indoors Abigail_Wintet_Snow_Outdoors Abigail_Festival_FlowerDance Abigail_Festival_Luau Abigail_Festival_SpiritsEve Though this will take ages to finish... PS. Is it possible a mod to have choice between standard npcs and seasonal npcs? So player can choose either one of them to play with? I want to pack everything into one mod. PS2. Does somebody know where are Marnie's 'Dancing at the wedding' sprite is and similar special sprites too? I thoght it was included in the character file but it wasn't and I couldn't find it... T_T
https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2449 SVO already does most of what you want. Content Patcher currently can't detect location so indoors/outdoors isn't possible - hence why it's a config option in SVO. We always welcome contributions by the community (can DM to me) if you want to add to SVO. If not I recommend taking a look at the monstrosity of a content.json for guidance. 1) Yes you can set it to be standard npcs and seasonal. You'll have to create a config for it or use a dynamic token depending on how you set it up 2) They should be in cursors.xnb IIRC
Thank you so much!! I'm gonna look carefully through the content.json LOL Can I ask you questions when I'm stuck with something? Or is it too much? T_T
I think I figured out how to do it and have written the basic parts of content.json Can someone please check it out if everything is correct? Since Content Patcher can't detect locations, I will be doing just Outdoor Outfits.
In theory you could do a dynamic token for standard/seasonal similar to how I do it for DCBurger vs Portraits: From SVO: Code: { "Name": "Portraits", <- Change this to anything you'd like (cannot be the same as another dynamic token) "Value": "Portraits", <- `Standard` "When": { "PortraitStyle": "standard" }, }, { "Name": "DCBurger",< - Change this to anything you'd like (cannot be the same as another dynamic token) "Value": "DCBurger", <- Change this to seasonal "When": { "PortraitStyle": "dcburger" <- Change this to 'Seasonal' }, }, Your File (excerpt): Code: "FromFile": "{{PortraitStyle}}/Portraits/Abigail.png", You can replace `PortraitStyle` with whatever you'd like. That'd remove the need for: Code: "When": { "PortraitsSprites": "Standard" } etc. after each entry. I also recommend doing something like Character Entries Portrait Entries For each NPC rather than character / portrait / character/ portrait. Makes it easier to look through if everything is grouped together. Other than that I think it looks good!
