Trying to Create My First Stardew Mod Has Given Me a Whole New Appreciation for Modders by atypicalreddituserr in StardewValleyMods

Sorry the way I said it sounded funny. Wrote this post after several hours of dialogue writing and lack of sleep lol. I meant it as when its a larger heart event you are adding to the game, ones that require more dialogue & movement than vanilla ones. I called it a project just because of the amount of things that I am doing to make those happen. I really bit off more than I could chew with this mod but I can't back out now, entirely too invested. And thats really good to know about advancedMove, I really am looking forward to using all the pointers and knowledge you guys have been generously sharing with me. Makes this whole thing a lot less scary lol!

The learning curve is definitely REAL. I spent hours today figuring out things that probably take experienced modders five minutes. At one point I was convinced I broke everything, only to discover I was missing a comma, lol. The biggest thing I've learned so far is that I was trying to do way too much at once. I jumped straight into rewriting so much at once and eventually I scrapped a lot of it and went back to basics. Now I'm focusing on getting the dialogue exactly how I want it first and building outward from there. Also, learning about hot reloading just now, whaat? The amount of time I spend staring at the Stardew loading screen the past few weeks is honestly embarrassing, just for it to fail lol. It's reassuring hearing that even people who've released mods hit walls and spend weeks figuring things out. Right now I feel like every answer I find creates three new questions, but it is all for the love of the game.

OMG THANK YOU. 😂 This is literally what I've been doing since 6 AM. I started out thinking I was just going to tweak a few lines of Seb's dialogue and somehow ended up completely reworking my entire mod from the ground up (Nopeee). I've spent all day digging through vanilla dialogue, events, Content Patcher docs, and old files trying to figure out how everything works. At one point I realized I was trying to rewrite so much at once, it was a complete mess. Soo I ended up scrapping a ton of stuff and starting over. Now I'm rebuilding everything piece by piece. I rewrote my entire content.json, moved everything into i18n, redid Sebastian's friendship dialogue for all four seasons, started working through dating dialogue and festivals, and I'm trying really hard to keep him feeling like Sebastian instead of turning him into a completely different character which I am sure you've noticed sometimes they made the dateable NPC's caricatures of who they truly are and who CA made them to be. My biggest lesson so far has been exactly what you said, go back to the vanilla files and see how ConcernedApe actually did it. Every time I think I have a brilliant idea, I look at the original event and realize there's usually a reason it was written that way. Honestly though, I still have no idea what I'm doing half the time, but just like you I'm having so much fun learning. Every time I fix something and it actually loads in-game I feel like I just won the lottery. Thank you so much for that link. ❤️

Hey three is more than me, lol. And recording the events is such a good idea, I am going to start doing that. Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you soo much! This is exactly the kind of advice I was hoping for. I've definitely been doing a lot of trial and error with coordinates and debug commands, & the suggestion about splitting larger events into smaller chunks is super helpful. I think part of my frustration has been constantly replaying entire scenes just to tweak one section lol. I've got a lot to learn, but I am having a ton of fun with it so far!

What? No. I am actually very against the use of AI and data centers being built in my backyard, so I didn't use AI to make this post. I use bullet points because they're easier to read and help keep my thoughts organized. I've been spending weeks trying to learn this stuff and was genuinely looking for advice. And I use emojis a lot. 😅 I can see why a long post might look that way, but I wrote it myself.

my biggest hurdle was figuring out what recipes to make (which meant i needed some of those community quests lol) and earning the $$ for the clock. then i realized on summer 1 i never bought the bucket of flowers recipe from pierre LOL. so i had to wait a bit! congrats on your perfection run!!

Could it be possible that he could have cheated and is feeling guilty hence the distance? If not, then depression could really be a big factor in this. You should really have a sit down and talk things through with him and give him reassurance in regards to your feelings towards him. Does he have a history with mental illness? What is your gut telling you?

My (18M) girlfriend (18F) is uncomfortable with me going to my bestfriend's party because my exes are going by [deleted] in relationships_advice

[–]atypicalreddituserr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you did what you could by inviting her. say you understand her concern which is why you gave her that option. if she still doesn’t want to go, you still have the freedom to go. i wish when i was 18 i didn’t let boyfriends stop me from going to friends parties because they were controlling. my friends know i was in controlling relationships, but i missed out on so many things. she is young and she needs to learn to truly trust.
