Unofficial mod updates

[moyaofthemist]

As another adult, who plays video games in my free time and apparently helps with SDV mods, I never understand the "how little time [people] have to work on personal things". Work is 8 hours a day (on average). And then you're playing video games. Some of these people have literally over a hundred mods downloaded! You don't get to that point overnight. And you'd need more than "a little time" to update them.

I get that some people have children, or maybe they have other hobbies/jobs that they see to, but we're talking about modding. Modding is not a casual thing. You don't casually know exactly how to make mods for a game. Especially if you plan to publish them for others to use/criticize. The only reason the author for Floral Keg said they don't have time is because they're literally working on another mod. So it's not like they have some other massive life event going on... it's the same line of "work", just a different priority.

Also, let's be honest with each other - the SDV modding wiki is just a touch out-of-date and is missing fields and ability to do things that Content Patcher's Wiki more clearly covers.

To clarify, I'm specifically working on a mod for my daughter, not really for funsies. >_>;; Modding is, for me, a very casual thing; it took me an afternoon or two to learn how to make those BFAV and CFR mods back in the day. Unfortunately, I'm much, much sicker now than I was back then, so I can't do what I used to be able to do. I'm not working on anything apart from stuff for my friends and my daughter unless it's something I can manage in a few days at most, sorry to say.

Also, it feels really, really uncomfortable to me to hear someone speculating on whether or not I have a massive life event going on just because I'm still working on mods (which people in this thread graciously updated for me, actually, and I am terribly grateful for that). If you could, um, not do that? I would appreciate that.

(Sorry to butt in. It was just an uncomfortable conversation to come across, and I thought maybe it would be okay to ask people...um...not to speculate on my personal life and circumstances if possible? My tone here is intended to come across as awkward, since I'm not sure what the social mores are around this. /autistic)

Side Note: Shout out to @charmed_selkie for trying to help me with updating Floral Keg, since I saw your posts about it, too. That means a lot to me, since I really loved that particular mod. ;_; You're being so thoughtful and considerate, and I really appreciate that.

I'm not 100% sure if this part was directed at me... but if it was, I was not at all "speculating on whether or not [anyone has] a massive life event going on". The part of my reply stating "So it's not like they have some other massive life event going on... it's the same line of "work", just a different priority" was made with the intention that you literally said in a reply to someone else on your Floral Keg mod that you were working on another mod. You literally said "I'm in the middle of working on a much bigger mod right now, but I could give it a go if it's not a huge project...". Working on a mod is not "a massive life event" - that's all I meant. No speculation. If I was speculating, I could say "that person must have a really busy job to say that they'd only work on some other mod conversion if they had more time". That's speculating since you didn't say anything about having a job. All you said was "I'm in the middle of working on a much bigger mod right now". If you took what I said as speculation, then that's not on me as I didn't speculate about anything.

Next time, though, I'll just quote the person directly since trying to be more general comes across as "speculation".

And I wasn't wrong - you're prioritizing the other mod over Floral Keg. I stated a fact. No speculation there. And I wasn't commenting to make anyone feel uncomfortable.

Lastly, I was musing/commenting on the idea that apparently "as a fellow adult, I understand all too well how little time you have to work on personal things" because it came as news to me that adults have "little time to work on personal things". Especially because that was said based on your reply stating "if it's not a huge project...", which they converted to "if they have the time and if it's not a hard thing to write". So I hope your speculation theory was to them and not me. I didn't speculate a thing, I wrote based on your literal reply.

Hi @Dyanosis let's drop this topic since it's derailing from the conversation and point of the thread. @moyaofthemist expressed discomfort of the situation, it's just worth acknowledging and moving on. This isn't the place to speculate about what people are doing or why or anything, this is just a place to request unofficial mod updates and anything further is unnecessary here. Thanks

Fine, I'll do it myself.

Learned how to work with SMAPI mods to bring y'all Festival of the Mundane updated for 1.6!

Hiya! Thank you so much for updating! I was just wondering if you would be able to convert it to CP so it doesn't require JSON Assets anymore, thanks!

I might be asking for some rotten tomatoes to the face, but why is nobody willing to update these two? Both authors have granted permission to people to do whatever and while I can imagine that the one packed with events might be a tough nut to crack, the first one is just text, it shouldn't be hard to get it to work, no?
Or am I missing something here and it's not about difficulty at all?
If you gave those a look and then went "Naah!" - I'd like to know your reasons. It kinda sucks to be "accidental a-hole". << also just thought I'd clarify - this is about me. I'm being an "accidental a-hole" by unintentionally offending people

I know you said you didn't intend it, but this comes off pretty rude. You aren't entitled to updates, my guy. You're free to request them, but these are free services that we do on our own time, at our own levels and interests. If no one else wants to pick it up, you aren't owed an explanation why, and you're free to update it yourself

Everyone is working diligently to update whatever mods they can, and every day there are hundreds of requests not only on this forum but on Nexus as well. Please remember that people updating are doing it on their own time and are not being paid to update these mods. If you have time, I recommend viewing the Stardew Wiki to learn how to update mods yourself and joining the Stardew Valley channel on Discord in case you run into trouble when creating or updating your mod.

Hi everyone!
Would anyone be interested in updating Season Affixes mod? The author has decided to step back from modding and the source code is publicly available. Info regarding permissions are in the pinned comment and the main mod page.

*sigh* I knew I'm gonna be misunderstood...
Guys, I'm not trying to guilt-trip people into working for free, I'm honestly trying to figure out *why* people don't want to deal with those mods. Is it because those two are very complicated and I'm asking too much? Is it because the whole "yandere" theme just makes people uncomfortable? Maybe I just worded my post wrong and if I rephrase it, somebody may agree to give it a shot.
I want to figure out what went wrong and how to do right, if I can. That's why I'm asking.

Assuming you're asking in good faith, it's really just a "no one wants to/can do so". Your original post is basically coming off as "why aren't people updating the mods I want?" which... well, aside from being a problem, you could say that about every mod in this thread (I personally am still hoping/waiting on Multiple Floor Farmhouse getting an unofficial update, but I wait roughly 40 pages in-between asking!). Everybody wants some mod updated, but unless someone's willing to put in the work, and there's a myriad of reasons why someone might not (they can't code it, they don't want to code a Yandere mod, they don't want to update it and then have to do upkeep on the mod itself, they don't have IRL time, and more reasons I'm not going to continue listing).

I'm also going to be brutally honest - if it shouldn't be hard to get it to work, I can turn your question right back around at you. If it's simple, why are you not putting in the work to update them? You could do so for personal modding (I personally have a copy of Shiko that uses the 1.6 method of adding NPCs, though due to permissions reasons I'm never putting that to the public, so you could do something similar for those). In general, I would keep to the following maxim when asking for an unofficial mod update: if you can't do it yourself, then you will have to be patient and, more importantly, understand you run the risk of it never getting updated to your specifications.

(Short version: People might just not want to. Asking for people to do so is fine, but saying "why hasn't anyone done it??" comes off as entitled, especially since if it's truly as simple as you say it should be possible for you to update it.)

Hello! I come here with a strange question: how can I find the grid values for maps? To explain, I realized that Make Gunther Real and Extra Museum Space have a small issue together, since Gunther room ends up in the extra room created by Extra Museum Space, and I am trying to see if I can just move the room a little down, so it's not in the way, but I have absolutely no idea what values I have to change.
I know this is the part that has to be modified
"Action": "EditMap",
"Target": "Maps/ArchaeologyHouse",
"FromFile": "assets/ArchaeologyApartment.tbin",
"ToArea": { "X": 49, "Y": 0, "Width": 21, "Height": 20 },
"MapProperties": {
"Doors": "60 9 1 120 61 14 1 120"

but is there some kind of resource with grids and X and Y values of all the various buildings, or is this a trial and error situation?

How come I never saw this one before? This sounds so cool! Hopefully it can get updated at some point.

with the ability to build more buildings off the farm robin is extremely busy and her working into the night is extremely unrealistic and its hard to interact with her. Could anyone possibly update this mod by aedenthorn, Robin Work hours , that gives her realistic work hours so she can still do some of her daily schedule. She actually walks to work everyday and leaves around 5pm letting you still gift her and speak to her. It doesnt extend build time or anything.

You can check tile coordinates in-game with a mod like Debug Mode. Or you can download the map editor Tiled so that you can open map files (tmx/tbin format) and check coordinates or edit maps in Tiled. For that, you'll also need to unpack the game files using StardewXnbHack so that you have access to vanilla maps & tilesheets. See the modding wiki Maps page for more info.

Thank you! I've been having trouble with that, now I know where to look
