Modding Discussion Migrating XNB mods to Content Patcher packs

The hairs don't show up for me, but I know it's been a while and maybe it's no longer compatible with the updated game? How do I fix this? I don't get an error when loading up SMAPI.

 

@H4rrisH4wk Unfortunately there are a few files that need to be replaced for this idea to work; in particular the Archaeology House and the Adventurer's Guild maps need to be edited so you can talk to Gunther and Marlon on a daily basis. Also, the assorted character .xnbs are edited so they have dialog when you interact with them and schedules so they just don't stand in their original spots all the time.

 

And that can't all be done with CP? *-just double checking-*

 

That's a good question.. for when I'm awake and not still on my first cup of coffee..

 

You can't edit maps with CP only load them. You'd have to edit them in Tiled first.

 

Not entirely what I meant - I mean - I have Summit Reborn and Spouse Rooms Redesigned in CP form no doubt they were edited in Tiled first of course - but for END USER - all I have to do is put it in the Mods folder and I don't have to overwrite xnb files in my game files so I can just delete the folder in my mods folder and it goes back to Vanilla without issue and without need of having separate backups and having to make sure I have the right one backed up to add back in - and all manner of additional steps that would make my mother who I also mod the game for would have her hair turn grey and also makes me uncomfortable because I don't want to have to keep uninstalling and reinstalling games.

All I'm wondering/asking is whether or not we can manage to get the Marlon and Gunther befriending mod in a CP compatible form so that it's just in the mods folder, only in the mods folder, without need of replacing xnb files in main game files. Since this mod would not be just for me but, as implied, for my mother as well - and I only just earned enough trust points with her to do CP mods because they don't touch the main game files with replacements.

 

I think it might be possible.. I just need to figure out how to test it..

 

@H4rrisH4wk Since the only programming I know is ContentPatcher, the only way I could get it to work is divide the original mod in 2. However, it no longer requires over-writing game files(the building edits definitely work and the sprites seem to - it's hard to catch either one out roaming around). The file unzips into 2 folders: BefriendMarlon&Gunther and BefriendHelper: the first is the main part of the mod with the dll's and stuff; the second is the content patcher part replaces the xnb files. Hopefully this works for you!

 

Works BEAUTIFULLY!!! Thank you so much! I am so stoked for this!

 

You're welcome! I'll keep using this myself, too - now that I have all the other removed from my game. (Maybe get them both full sprite sheets)

Can someone please convert these mods for the Content Patcher?

-Garden Variety User Interface Recolors (If someone could also make this compatible with Eemie's Just A New Map Recolor I'd be very grateful)

-More Space For Dusty

Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to look at this. I know it's asking a lot but I'd really appreciate it!

converted to content patcher.

creator, contact me on nexus or something if u want this to be taken down or if you want to use this file

 

Just hashed out an unofficial CP version of @IronZelly's custom cutscene mod introducing Shane and Morris to the PC. I know probably not many people downloaded the original, but I figured I'd stick it here for those who did.

(IronZelly, let me know if you want this taken down or if you want to share it elsewhere.)

 

Hi there! Could somebody please convert these mods to Content Patcher versions?

@bugmenever There are already CP versions of the first and third mods on your list. Mr. Qi's is actually an optional file on the Nexus page.

 

@Moragaine Oh, sorry about that! For some reason I missed it on Nexus. I'm not finding the CP version for the 3rd one though, it doesn't seem to be included in the original mod's CP version (2050) and I did a thread search and nothing came up.

 

Apparently I'm hallucinating, since I can't find it again, either.. =( Sorry about that.

 

Hello everyone! Is it possible to make a CP version of "2cute greenhouse"? https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/841?tab=description I just want to be able to edit the maps for this but working with tIDE and XNB loader is quite a headache! I'm new to modding so I don't know how to convert it myself.
