When anything refers to the
Mod Id, also seen as
ModId, Unique Id, Manifest id, it's referring to the
UniqueID field in the
manifest.json.
It'll look something like this
"UniqueID": "Username.ID", or real example (from one of my mods)
"UniqueID": "Dyanosis.PlantableTrees". The part you'd be interested in using from there is the
Dyanosis.PlantableTrees.
It also sounds like you're making a CP (Content Patcher) mod, so
this page would help you. Pathoschild explains everything about what to change, how to determine if it needs to be changed, potential values, etc.
As far as gift tastes goes (assuming you're making a CP mod), you'll need something that looks like the following within your content.json file (or whatever file you put your NPC data into):
JSON:
{
"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Data/NPCGiftTastes",
"TextOperations": [
{
"Operation": "Append",
"Target": ["Fields", "Your_NPC_Name", "1"],
"Value": "ID_of_Item",
"Delimiter": " "
}
]
}
Replace
Your_NPC_Name with the name, not the ID, of your NPC. Replace
ID_of_Item with the ID of the item you want (this is the unique ID, e.g.
(0)422). The last thing in the target array (in the above, the
"1") is the index of the gift taste you want to approve. The gift taste indices are as follows:
- 1 - Love
- 3 - Like
- 5 - Dislike
- 7 - Hate
- 9 - Neutral
So if you set someone's
"3", then it'll set their Like of that item.
Additionally for the gift taste, the
"Value" can include multiple items, in the event that you want to set your NPC's gift tastes (say Love) for many items at once. That's where
"Delimiter" comes into play because you're telling CP how your items are separated. You could have the Delimiter be anything, but it's best to use a space as no item ID is going to have a space in it (otherwise it'd be very confusing for everyone).
Example of setting Abigail's Love to include Red Mushrooms (ID: (O)420) and Purple Mushrooms (ID: (O)422):
JSON:
{
"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "Data/NPCGiftTastes",
"TextOperations": [
{
"Operation": "Append",
"Target": ["Fields", "Abigail", "1"],
"Value": "(O)420 (O)422",
"Delimiter": " "
}
]
}
You can probably find plenty of examples in other Content Patcher mods that add NPCs of how to do this as well, but figured I'd include examples so you don't have to go looking for them if you don't want to.
