Unofficial mod updates

I understand that the person who created it said via discord that he could no longer continue editing them, and that he had lost interest in Stardew Valley. That's why I say that I believe that he did say that he would leave everything abandoned. For the rest, I hope someone does it, not for nothing, but because it is a great mod, and it is a shame that due to life circumstances, it is not going to be updated. and it is not out of patience since there are other mods, which although they are not updated, their creators have already confirmed that they will provide updates such as HD Portraits.

Did the author actually say other people could update the mod? Abandoned doesn't mean free for all. Going inside an abandoned house is still trespassing.

Sounds great! Here's all the code files.
Plus hopefully being on github will make it more likely to show up on the smapi.io mod compatibility list for people to find? I'm not really sure how it works but the wiki instructions make several mentions to github, so hopefully this could let more people know there's a 1.6 version of the mod available somewhere.

Ok I've uploaded the code to GitHub and also added a release so people can download it directly from there: https://github.com/gamerchrisjd/JahangmarStardew/releases/tag/v1.1.1

The only change I made was to the manifest file to follow the SMAPI recommendations for unofficial updates - the version number is now 1.1.1-unofficial.2

Hopefully this is everything that is needed for SMAPI to be updated and the mod be available to download from GitHub.

It is only known that it will not update them again. and that they didn't want them to ask him more, because he had lost interest in himself. He supposedly did it for fun but nothing more. I hope someone, if not also updates it unofficially, at least creates a pretty cool copy. It is a very addictive mod, and seeing how it can be forgotten is very sad.

Unfortunately, this sounds like they did not give permission, which means any unofficial updates cannot happen. If someone does, they would be going against the author's permissions, which is not allowed. If one was posted here, the forum moderators would likely have to take action against the poster.

I understand, that way, the only thing that can be done is nothing. That seems very ugly to me on the part of the author.

This is forgetting that people are making this for little or no compensation, and for fun.

Not wanting your hard work taken and reused by others is not ugly, either; though I appreciate those who are generous with their code it does not follow that I think everyone must be.

Meanwhile, here's a similar idea.

Unless someone gets explicit permission from the mod author we are not allowed to update and share that mod. Under permissions it says that you are not allowed to upload the file anywhere else, and you must get permission before modifying the files.

I understand.
Thank you so much for the reply, my dear.
Hope the authors update these mods, I miss my winter crops so much...

There's plenty of resources out there to help you build your own mod if another person is being "ugly" about not wanting someone else using their hard work :)

Mods are packages of files which change Stardew Valley in some way. Mods can add features (like showing NPCs on the map), change game mechanics (like making fences decay more slowly), make cosmetic changes (like making your house look like a hobbit home), and much more.

There's an old mod called Only Iridium that no longer functions (SMAPI won't load it since the update, even though it worked just fine before the SMAPI update). I wondered if there was any chance someone could either update it or create a mod that does the same thing (set the item quality of every item to iridium quality)?

Hi there! Do you know how to get in touch with the modder? Just ask them if it’s ok to update the mod. We just need explicit permission.

Do you know if there's an alpha channel for DeepWoods to contribute playtesting and programming to? I have extensive experience in alpha and beta testing, and would love to help out during my free time. It would be great to help expedite the release of DeepWoods.

I did not see any option for that. I think the best way to support the author is to let them take time to update. I think they were feeling a lot of pressure and it would be a loss for everyone if they quit because it was too overwhelming. The good news is that an update will come and they are working on it.
