RELEASED [Storm] and [SMAPI] FreezeInside Mod--Freeze Time While Indoors Like Harvest Moon!

THIS MOD IS DISCONTINUED. YOU CAN FIND ITS FULL FUNCTIONALITY AT:
http://community.playstarbound.com/...imespeed-mod-configurable-day-lengths.107876/


The OP shall be preserved for posterity / those who are still interested in the SMAPI version.








Current Version: 1.4.4.1 for Storm and 1.3.2 for SMAPI. Storm version NOW RECOMMENDED.

Freezes the time while inside, like Harvest Moon does.

Please note that as of version 1.4, this game comes with a Config.json file with two options:

1. FreezeTimeInMines, which defaults to false. If set to true, the time in the Mines (both of them) and the Farm Cave should freeze in addition to just the buildings.
2. LetMachinesRunWhileTimeFrozen, which defaults to true. If set to true, machines continue to run while you are inside and time is frozen. Some consider this "cheaty". Setting it to false will prevent machines from running while you are inside.

Version 1.3.2 just has the FreezeTimeInMines option.

Version 1.3.2 is likely the last version update for SMAPI. Further updates will be on Storm.

PLEASE NOTE! PLEASE NOTE! Version 1.4+ requires Storm. The Storm versions are NOW RECOMMENDED. I will be continuing development on the Storm versions only at this time.

Storm

PLEASE NOTE! PLEASE NOTE! Requires SMAPI and TrainerMod.dll to be installed! SMAPI 0.37 for versions 1.3 and 1.3.1, SMAPI 0.35 or 0.36 for version 1.2.

SMAPI (TrainerMod included in download.)

Installation for Storm (1.4+)

There is one folder in this .zip containing three files, FreezeInside.dll, Config.json, and manifest.json. This folder may ONLY be placed in %appdata%\StardewValley\Mods.

Thus, the total path for the three files required for this mod to function are:
%appdata%\StardewValley\Mods\TimeSpeed\FreezeInside.dll

%appdata%\StardewValley\Mods\TimeSpeed\Config.json.

%appdata%\StardewValley\Mods\TimeSpeed\manifest.json.


REQUIRES Storm to be installed!

Installation for SMAPI (1.3.2)

Place DLL and INI in %appdata%\Stardew Valley\Mods.

Thus, the total path for both of the two files required for this mod to function are:
%appdata%\StardewValley\Mods\FreezeInside.dll

AND

%appdata%\StardewValley\Mods\FreezeInsideConfig.ini.

How does this affect the daily rutines? Everything seems fine?

 

I'm really not testing for balance--I'll leave that to each user to decide what's fair. One potential issue is that the mines are considered inside. I might release a separate version that doesn't freeze time in the mines for balance's sake.

 

That might be a good idea, otherwise the mines would get a bit "op" in a way. I like this idea though, I almost fainted while decorating my house last night. But I still would't want the time in the mines to stop. Great job though, the modding progression seems to be growing fast, I can't wait to see what you guys manage to do next

 

Main question I'd have is, does this pause working machines? Like, if you put a cherry in a keg, went inside your house, and waited a long time in RL, would you come back out and find a finished cherry wine? Heck, could you do it with a keg that's inside your house? If so, then this might be a bit OP.

 

I believe it would pause working machines. Haven't specifically tested that, but I have heard people complain that Stardew Injector's slow time option makes machines slower, so I suspect this would freeze it altogether while inside.

 

Added API calls.

 

Okay, updated mod to 1.1. Will now reset time properly upon sleeping and has configurable INI for whether the mines and the caves count as inside. By default, they do not, just like Harvest Moon.

I get this as an error.

 

You need to have FreezeInsideConfig.ini with the dll. I put in a try-catch exception to search for it both in %appdata%\StardewValley\Mods and the Stardew Valley main folder.

edit: I'm just going to make a second catch that just ignores it completely if it can't find it. Easier for everyone.

edit v1.1.1 released. If INI is not found, will default to FreezeTimeInMines false, but otherwise function without erroring.

 

or did I screw something up?

 

No, you caught a bug and I was wrong. Quick update momentarily. For now, install it to %appdata%\StardewValley\Mods to get around that or wait 5 minutes.

edit: Okay updated to 1.1.2 to fix bug.

 

Honestly, proper practice would be to generate a default INI file if none is found.

 

Is it possible to make it so machines continue to work as normal with time frozen? Or is that outside the realm of possibility?

 

Things like that are probably unlikely for now, until we get a more robust modding API.

 

Hmm, ok. Thanks for the info.

 

Thanks for the idea! I actually changed the method by which this mod works. Now it's called every time the clock updates, and just sets the clock back 10 minutes. But your machines all get the tick to update, so they should keep working while time is frozen.

v1.2 out on my github.

v1.2 now creates an ini for you if you don't have one, for anyone who forgot to install that file. Thanks for the advice!

 

Thanks for this!

 

I'm having some issues getting it to work. it doesn't seem to be having any effect.
I'm also getting this error when I start the game:

System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'IntChanged' from assembly 'StardewModdingAPI, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.
at FreezeInsideMod.FreezeInside.Entry()
at StardewModdingAPI.Program.LoadMods()

not sure what I'm doing wrong, I just tried it with these and trainermod.dll as the only mods in the folder so there shouldn't be any conflicts.

 

What version of SMAPI are you using? The mod requires 0.3.5+, but the very newest version of SMAPI in the source code changes the arguments of the event handlers, so that could be it too.
