You guys got me started with XNB_Node for dialog changes and it was perfect. Exactly what I needed/wanted. I did want to delve further into the dialog changes especially for festivals. I'd like to change the dialog for successive festival events. So, for year 1 have certain text and then for year 2 have different text. I know that you can change the text based on the day of the month and the season but has anyone experimented with this? I do not want to reinvent the wheel if someone has already tried something successful.
Unfortunately, festival dialogue is hardcoded. You'll need to make a SMAPI mod for it. :/ And while the annual changes sound like a great idea, I have a feeling executing it would be extremely difficult.
My bad. I assumed since birthday gifting, wedding day, pregnancy announcements, and spouse jealousy dialogues are hard-coded, they were as well. I stand corrected! Still have no idea how to make dialogue change per year, though. If anyone can figure it out, please do.
Siv's guide for custom events might have some useful information if it can be cross applied to festivals.
FOUND IT! Thank you. I had to put this down for a long time... Siv's custom events? I will check it out. Is it a website or a mod?
