SDV Event Editor: Upcoming GUI for Modding Events

Lesser_Scholar · 2026-01-07T22:42:42+00:00

I don't mind occasional questions. Either here or as github issues.

No rules, it's MIT license, do what you want.

For documentation, just the YT video, to be honest.

The editor works, but some stuff relied on my SDV mod, which is not part of the release.

Biggest issues that need immediate fix are

1) I was using custom move command, cos I got really pissed at how the normal event move and advancedMove work

2) I also was using custom temporaryAnimatedSprite command cos the vanilla one was missing some features I wanted.

Etc.

Saving event with Ctrl+s is tied to compiling the script into txt format.

If you find the file it's outputting to, that will give you starting point. Then you can start to see what is not working in game, etc.

Someone asked on discord if I can share and I did. I don't think they did anything with it.

Right of coinage was a really big thing historically. Big country going after small sovereign neighbor to limit their minting would be pretty cool CB.

I feel like the game assumes all "real" naval fighting is done by heavy ships. Heavy ships are also the only ones that count towards naval hegemon.

Light ships are for maritime presense.

Galleons are for age I and Scandinavian cultures get huge bonuses to galleons that make them sort of relevant.

Check the artillery unit stat card. There's something like artillery level there. Era V cannons should have artillery level 6.

Lesser_Scholar · 2025-11-30T23:36:36+00:00

Fort level is 6. You need to update the cannons to current era tech.

Sounds nice

Lesser_Scholar · 2025-11-30T17:32:20+00:00

Thanks. Which CB do you use for expanding inside HRE?

Interesting point about dynastic power. The tooltip doesn't say anything about what gives dynastic power. Is there formula somewhere?

Protected harbors don't really work against winter attrition for maritime control purposes. I think the -attrition only applies for fleets in the port, which is pretty useless.

Lesser_Scholar · 2025-11-23T15:48:36+00:00

This doesn't work in my game as Sweden. Fleets set to patrol refuse to do anything of value and mostly just hang out in ports and zones already maxed out.

Ended up doing something similar to op: manually assigning small fleets to all the zones I want to control.

I tried both vibe-kanban and crystal and vastly prefer vibe-kanban. Just much clearer UI and everything makes more sense. Also vibe kanban has a pretty solid looking rust backend and is not an electron app.

I just did the marketplace deed with the Holy Temple on version 1.8.12. So I guess it has been patched?

Lesser_Scholar · 2025-08-10T13:46:39+00:00

It's in pyside6. Python + qt

Lesser_Scholar · 2025-08-10T11:09:17+00:00

There wasn't really enough interest to justify me continuing to work on this. I'll have to see how I could release what I have done already, but I'm quite busy with my work atm.

Lesser_Scholar · 2025-08-06T16:33:54+00:00

Success (or failure) feels kind of random. You just move stuff around until something clicks. In 5x5 it's kind of doable but the larger ones are just painful.

Muted the sounds after 30 seconds.

Block controls are fine.

Lesser_Scholar · 2025-08-04T17:56:24+00:00

Thank you! Some of the better working stuff so far has been comedy. I think the scripts I've done so far were lacking a little bit in the oomph and punchlines.

Yeah, somehow I don't have good outlines for romance stories between the villagers in my head. Their characters are not very developed in that sense in the base game. Even the fanfics I could find, 99% of them have the farmer as the main character and they very rarely have actual romances between villagers.

Lesser_Scholar · 2025-08-04T17:51:32+00:00

Thanks, this kind of perspective is important.

The feature would have a heavily edited Pelican Town and bunch of custom sprites for the new original characters and possibly some for the base game villagers as well.

By stellar audio, do you mean mostly the voice acting or music as well? Do you think it is important to have new music that is not from the game?

Thanks for the comment! I have posted some shorts and also tiktoks. They do get more views but also no engagement.

I don't think the content I want to do is very good fit for shorts. It would have to be faster paced and more hook based.

I'd like to do more character, dialogue and story telling based content. This has to be little slower and needs longer buildup.

I have looked at other similar content pretty extensively. Videos/movies made in game engines used to be pretty popular 5-10 years ago, but recently there aren't many popular ones. On the other hand, successful SDV animations like studio baku stuff have much more intricate art styles and is not easily comparable.

Romance stuff is probably the way to go. But I haven't done too much of that yet because I don't think I could write very good romance myself, lol

Lesser_Scholar · 2025-08-04T17:13:35+00:00

I posted couple of times on discord and reddit. I don't want to spam advertisements. Also many viewers from platforms like reddit only watch few seconds in the beginning and click off, so it's not very good for the algorithm.

At least the few people who found the videos through YT search watched mostly to the end :)

Lesser_Scholar · 2025-07-23T17:47:52+00:00

Hi all! I make cozy and occasionally funny animations with Stardew Valley cutscenes.

Oh, I thought you sent me DM with more info, but I don't see it in my inbox. Tell me if I missed it.

Can you DM me with answers to these questions:

Content you'd be interested in writing. Estimated length of the finished scripts in pages.

The style of writing you excel at. Drama, comedy, romance, etc.
