As far as I can tell, it does absolutely nothing. There is code for a "dodge" system, where enemies can have a base chance to dodge hits, and equipment has "Precision" which can reduce or increase that chance… but every single monster has a dodge chance of 0%, so it's essentially disabled. Yes, but some swords are set to type "3". I don't know what the significance of that is. Also, the Scythe is set to type "0" (like most swords), but does not allow you to block like the other swords.
Hmm... pulling up StardewValley.Tools.MeleeWeapon gives both some more insight and some more questions… 1) Apparently type=0 is for "StabbingSwords" while type=3 is for "DefenseSwords"… but anything with type=0 is automatically set to type=3. 2) If you're going to rename a sword to have "Scythe" in its name, it will not have a special ability animation (and likely not be able to block at all). There's a hard-coded check involved: if (this.type == 3 && (this.name.Contains("Scythe") || this.parentSheetIndex == 47) || Game1.fadeToBlack) return; 3) For some strange reason, knockback modifiers are shown as positive values even when they are penalties. A knockback modifier of less than the default knockback for the weapon type (type0 = 1, type1 = 0.5, type2 = 1.5, type3 = 1) results in less knockback, but is still displayed as "+x knockback" due to an absolute-value call. A difference of 0.1 from the base value is shown as +1 in-game. This means that the following weapons have incorrect knockback displays: Bone Sword: -2 knockback Wood Mallet: -2 knockback Galaxy Hammer: -5 knockback All of the unused character clubs: -5 knockback 4) Each point of speed in weapons.xnb appears to equal a 10% change reduction in swing time (this also appears to be true of speed buffs to the player, it's worth noting), and is shown 1-to-1 in-game. 5) The column with lots of "0.02" values is for the critical hit chance, and the display is calculated as (CritChance / 0.02). This is only shown in the description if there is at least a bonus of +2. This ends up being a very poor way to display it, since a "default" value would be +1, and lots of the values are fractional (e.g., +1.5) with the fraction getting dropped. So, I'm instead going to phrase it in terms of percentage changes. Here's all of the critical chances for unmodified weapons: Insect Head: +100% crit chance ("+2") Dark Sword: +150% crit chance ("+2") Lava Katana: -25% crit chance (not normally displayed) Carving Knife: +100% crit chance ("+2") Iron Dirk: +50% crit chance (not normally displayed) Elf Blade: +100% crit chance ("+2") Crystal Dagger: +50% crit chance (not normally displayed) Burglar's Shank: +100% crit chance ("+2") Shadow Dagger: +100% crit chance ("+2") Wicked Kris: +200% crit chance ("+3") Templar's Blade: Cannot crit -- 0% crit chance (not normally displayed) (Edit: Actually, double-checking on the wiki, it looks like critical chance never gets displayed. Huh.) 6) The next column is the Critical Multiplier, i.e., the damage bonus on a critical hit. The display for this one is calculated as ((CritMult - 3) / 0.02), and is only displayed if it is at least +1. All of the displays are accurate, and are a straight calculation of how much more of the base critical damage (+200%) is being added. So, a +25 critical power is 25% extra critical hit damage = 200% + (25% * 200%) = 250% extra damage on criticals (instead of the standard 200% extra damage). In simpler terms, double the displayed crit power, and that's the extra percentage of your non-critical-hit damage that is being added on critical hits. 7) The column in front of the crit chance (which only has values of 0, 1, or 2) is added area of effect. This is not displayed anywhere in the weapon description. I'm not very clear on exactly how much each point is increasing the area by, though, because of zoom calculations. Here's the list of weapons with increased area of effect sizes: Rapier: +2 Tempered Broadsword: +1 Lava Katana: +2 Broken Trident: +2 Wicked Kris: +2 Lead Rod: +1 The Slammer: +2 8) Columns 9 and 10 (lots of "-1"s, and otherwise values ranging from 3 to 150ish) appear to be completely unused. I'm guessing they, like the "stabbingswords" and precision, were relating to something that got cut but which ConcernedApe didn't fully remove from the code.
Tried packing it, produced no XNB, even tryed packing from differant locations and to differnet locations and still no XNB. @Hammurabi I didnt touch those values, just the damage and crit values, everything else is basic scythe.
Hrm, it could be an issue with formatting. You might've missed a quotation mark, or an exclamation mark. If you want to upload the yaml; I can help take a closer look.
@MysticTempest, thank you very much for the offer, and I apologize for the delay, work has picked up at my job and will keep me busy till the weekend, possibly beyond here is the file though, I believe I have put in all my valus, but I do have some trouble navigating notepad sometimes so I wouldn't be surprised If a what should be a higher class weapon has very low stats.

No wories, Maelily78! ^-^ I've been taking a look, and yea there were a few formatting issues. I fixed those, and it packed. Then I did a quick test on loading them(SMAPI & the CJBitemspawner can still load them even without artwork) in-game, and after some minor issues I found a few more formatting issues. But, they should all be cleared up now. The issues for reference under the spoiler: There were some extra, unneeded parentheses in the yaml. And, I realigned your new items to be in line with the others. That allowed me to pack the file. But, there were a few weapons that crashed while spawning them in-game. Namely these ones: Descriptions cause error: 54: "Farmers Gaurdian /Grandfather’s trusty scythe./10/13/1/0/0/0/0/-1/-1/0/.02/3" #!String 63: "Galaxy Scythe/Unlike any scythe or weapon you’ve wielded before./5/9/1/0/0/0/0/-1/-1/0/.02/3" #!String 69: "Butterfly Scythe /It’s has two extra blades, making it 3x’s as deadly, and 3x’s as pretty./8/29/1/8/0/0/0/-1/-1/0/.02/3" #!String Names cause error: 55: "Life’s Bane /Once wielded by an unholy creature, now you use this blade./11/14/1.6/0/0/0/0/-1/-1/0/.02/3" #!String 61: "Reaper’s Favourite Scythe/Someone very powerful lost their favourite weapon./44/66/1/0/0/0/0/-1/-1/0/.02/4" #!String 74: "Undyne the Undying’s Spear /A spear made of magic by Captain of the royal guard, Undyne the Undying./50/64/1/0/0/0/0/-1/-1/0/.04/3.5" #!String It took a bit, but after careful testing. It appears that the curly single quote was the issue. All other weapons, use straight single quotes. I fixed the quotes, and these weapons all load fine now. I'd recommend using something like Notepad++ to edit code if you're on Windows: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.3.3.html And, get the XMLTools plugin; someone made a short guide here: https://notepadhelper.com/notepad-plus-plus/xml-tools-plugin/ Or Geany; which is what I use on Linux with XML Pretty Printer: https://www.geany.org/Download/Releases (It has Windows/OSX binaries too.) Anyway, I'm uploading your fixed yaml file, and the packed version I tested. But, feel free to repack it yourself.
OK! I've got the the xnb. edited and the png adjusted. and still cant pack the data file I've downloaded Notepad++ and the XMLTools plugin (no idea how to work it) but even with trying to keep it as close to the file MysticTempest's gave me (but I did rearrange some lines, which is the only thing I haven't tried to change since I arranged them to match the png and just really don't want it to be the problem), I've been unable find the problem to pack it. Could someone link me to an instruction manual for XMLtools or just anything to help figure out how to find the problem?
For XMLTools; http://www.systemcentercentral.com/...ools-plug-in-for-notepad-to-format-messy-xml/ It's pretty helpful for formatting savefiles when testing, and other large xml data files that need to be formatted. Right now, Notepad++ should be good enough. If you've opened your file in it. It should look somewhat similar to this, and you should notice that a lot of the data is highlighted. A few things to note. First the yellow star at the bottom; that white line acting like a giant bracket for the data needs to be one past your own weapons. In the same way, it's one below #52. That's achieved by hitting enter after your final entry; so it'll generate a new line. Now, if you notice the 4 yellow circles on #49. Those represent spaces; in this case 4. And, the yellow square on the preceding line is useful. That square right after the 'g' is where you hit enter to start a new line for your data. So, for instance say you modified #64. Put your cursor just before the blue 6, in #64. Then backspace all the way back to the yellow square, at the end of line #63; and hit enter. That should properly line it up, and advance the white bracket. Comb over your data, and update as necessary. Hopefully that helps explain some of the formatting nuances of the data files. Also, since you've been able to pack everything else fine; it shouldn't be an issue with XNBnode, but just in case. Try packing the weapons.yaml file I uploaded for you the other day. If that packs; then XNBnode is working correctly, and it's just some new formatting issues on the new file.
