Modding Discussion A place to discuss map editing and other related stuff

The bench isnt non-transparent, the "Back" later is where the terrain goes, the bench has to be on the Buildings layer.

 

I'm sure this has been asked, so I apologize, but how the hell do I increase the UI scalein Tide? The map tiles are so small I can't tell what is what at all.

I can't even figure out how to properly place tiles but this is a bigger priority at the moment. I'm editing maps on a 50 inch TV and I can't see them to pick them!

 

Cannot be done, you will have to change your screen resolution.

 

Welp, guess I'm not screwing with this, then.

Having the tiles at 1:1 pixel scale is fine, but no option to make them so you can *actually see them* is ridiculously restrictive.

 

Is it possible to expand the hills in hill top farm? I want to expand it because I'm gonna put my animals in there

 

I've been working on extending the hill top farm by adding 20 tiles to the left. I got the layers done and moved the warp points, but I don't see how to change where the house/broken green house spawn. I basically need to add 20 to the X value of their spawn location but I can't find anything in tIDE that lets me edit that. Any clue where that is located?


Edit:
I'm also guessing I'm going to need to edit the greenhouse and all the different farm warps to put you on the correct place on my new map, which will mean that they won't work for other maps.

Might just be easier to relocate the house and greenhouse now that I think about it...

Edit 2:
I'm still going to break only maps because I'm going to have to change the bus stop, north path, and forest path warps. I still would like to keep the buildings where they are (in terms of the right hand side of the map) because moving them left will change the time to get anywhere else in the world.

 

Unfortunately, the spawn locations for those things are hardcoded into the exe, even SMAPI modding wont let us mess with those bits.

 

Thanks.

Well that was about the worse possible outcome. Guess I'll have to rearrange the map some to make room for them in their hard coded locations. I hope CA changes this in a future patch.

For anyone else who is reading this, this means expanding the map to the south or east is far better than expanding it west or north.

 

Good luck. The guy hardcoded some ridiculously stupid things. Spawn points tied to the game's exe file is absolutely ridiculous programming, I really doubt he'll put in the effort to change it.

 

That is why FarmHand is being worked on, with it we modders can fix some of those things that cause problems SMAPI cant solve, and make stuff work better in general

 

Hi! Sorry if this was already mentioned, but I cant read all de 26 pages right now

My question is: There is any chance to delete the bushes that are in the corner in the area of the sell box? Or a chance to move the sell box? because I want to build a shed there and for one bush I dont have the place :O

I opened the farm file with tIDE, I tried to move the box but it didnt work so I´m doing something wrong. And for the bushes I dont see them when I open the farm file in tIDE so I couldn´t try to remove them.

Thanks in advance for your help

 

The bushes are in the paths layer which is normally hidden

 

Thank you! I could remove them
But that wasnt the only problem, I had to change the type of floor and delete some fences too, then I was able to build the shed

 

my map edit makes some people crash when loading into their save, and I have no idea how to fix it

http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/rosalies-enchanted-hill-top-updated-10-8.125329/
map with download. even a clean install gives a crash

edit: nevermind found the answer

 

That is going to break you know... you build the shed where the spouse area is...

 

Finally working~!

 

Ohhh I never saw the spouse area. Before I had floors and chests on that space, I did the shed because the chests looked wierd outdoors.

This pic was before built it. After the update I hadnt the spouse place. I´m married with Harvey.

 

Is there a command for tiles that will prevent the allowance of trees?

 

NoSpawn Tree

There's a list of all the most common actions/properties waaaaay back there in the first post (in spoiler tags).

 

Thanks! I was a bit overwhelmed trying to read everything so late at night @_@
