Modding Discussion Modding Guides and General Modding Discussion--REDUX

Hey guys, I've been trying to figure out how to edit xnb files for Stardew Valley for a while now but despite all of the wonderful tutorials I have found (and those listed in this thread), I can't seem to get anything to work on my Linux OS. I have Wine installed and am trying to get various extractors/ converters (XNB Node, XNB Mod Toolkit, SPVM) to work through it to no avail. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong or if there's perhaps a better way to go about all of this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Hey Peroxidewren! I explained it pretty well for a Mac user here: http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/help-w-xnb-modding-on-mac.128801/#post-3088068

I'm on Linux as well; so I know XNBnode works, because that's what I use for creating my mods. Basically, assuming you have everything else set up correctly. You'll need to use "wine cmd", otherwise Wine will try to launch XNBnode as a graphical program; which it's not, and will fail.

 

Thanks so much for clarifying this for me. I was doing something very similar before but I must have been messing something up somewhere. Somewhat frustratingly it still isn't quite working and I'm getting this error message:

Code:

Can't recognise '.\app\node .\app\main.js  extract Packed/ Unpacked' as an internal or external command, or batch script.

I'm poking about the internet at the moment to see if I can figure it out but I'll ask any way just in case

EDIT: Okay, I was being dumb, I had to type 'xnb_node.cmd'. Unfortunately this has actually lead me to get the same error that I was getting in the first place:

Code:

getsockopt: (10042) Unknown errorwine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x00000000 at address 0x56e51f (thread 0025), starting debugger...

I'm really not sure what to do about it :/

 

That looks like you're running it the old way, or using the Mac version that Maxiner linked on the other post. Those methods are a bit outdated.

Use the one I linked: http://www.mediafire.com/file/fwg3p0rmp3q2v36/xnb_node.0.2.2.7z
And, then after using 'wine cmd' to drop you down to a Windows-like terminal; it's a simple command of the following(without quotes):

To unpack:
"xnb_node extract Packed/ Unpacked/"
To pack:
"xnb_node pack Unpacked/ Packed/"

Edit:
Can you post a screenshot of your terminal, or copy/paste everything in the terminal window including what you're typing and the output?

 

Okay, so here's what I've got in the terminal:

Code:

Hrm, you could try updating Wine. I'm using Wine 1.7.18

You could also try setting up a 32bit prefix, and see if that helps:

Code:

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winecfg

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 wine cmd

I haven't seen that error before; but your commands look correct.

Edit: Just adding in the extra part to test if you try a 32bit prefix.

 

I uninstalled Wine and reinstalled the binary packages for Ubuntu and after giving it another whirl, it worked like a charm! Thank you for all of your help with this, I've been tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to use Linux after only ever knowing Windows and this was absolutely driving me up the wall! Time to get modding I think

Edit: I really should have tried this first (it's one of those "have you tried turning it off and on again?" moments ) Thank you again!

 

Ah yea, no prob! I'm glad I could help some; have fun!!

 

This is linux, it is never a "have you tried turning it off and on again?" moment, it is always a "have you tried <three chapters of techobabble here>?" moment

 

Haha, it is rather complicated, but now that I know how to do this small task I do feel like I'm in the Matrix so it was kind of worth it

 

Can you use xnb mods with SMAPI?

 

Does anyone know if they have fixed the pixel graphical errors when extracting the cursors.xnb file yet? Or is the unpacker the same as it was about a year ago when I played it?

 

Hey guys, I'm having issues with changing Willy's schedule. I posted a thread but maybe come of you guys can help me out.
Basically, I want to change his initial position when each day starts. Please go to my thread where I've posted the code and the updates of all my attempts on figuring this out.
Thank you!

 

Hi, I've been trying to make some major changes to the farmer_base png file, and I've run into a problem.

the sprite's draw position seems to move up and down when performing the run animation, regardless of the height of the actual sprite. triple checked the sprites were lined up correctly. When I tried to over-correct to stop the sprite from appearing to "bounce", the bottom of the sprite gets chopped off. Is this something I can change by making a smapi mod? Or is this hard coded and unchangeable?

Edit: this gif shows what is happening

 

Is this where we talk about modpacks or sets of mods that fit a certain theme or difficulty level?

 

Your problem, with SMAPI you can do a lot, but completely revamping integral parts like that is currently not a easy task, so unless you are already familiar with SMAPI modding and the many, many, many, different workarounds needed, you are unlikely to be able to manage it...

 

Can anyone tell me what file I can edit to adjust the prices of Farmhouse upgrades? I swear I've looked over every file multiple times but can't tell what it may be under...

 

They're hardcoded.

Code:

  private void houseUpgradeAccept()
  {
  switch (Game1.player.houseUpgradeLevel)
  {
  case 0:
  if (Game1.player.Money >= 10000 && Game1.player.hasItemInInventory(388, 450, 0)) <-- 10,000 gold & 450 wood for the first upgrade
  {
  Game1.player.daysUntilHouseUpgrade = 3;
  Game1.player.Money -= 10000;
  Game1.player.removeItemsFromInventory(388, 450);
  Game1.getCharacterFromName("Robin", false).setNewDialogue(Game1.content.LoadString("Data\\ExtraDialogue:Robin_HouseUpgrade_Accepted"), false, false);
  Game1.drawDialogue(Game1.getCharacterFromName("Robin", false));
  break;
  }
  if (Game1.player.Money < 10000)
  {
  Game1.drawObjectDialogue(Game1.content.LoadString("Strings\\UI:NotEnoughMoney3"));
  break;
  }
  Game1.drawObjectDialogue(Game1.content.LoadString("Strings\\Locations:ScienceHouse_Carpenter_NotEnoughWood1"));
  break;
  case 1:
  if (Game1.player.Money >= 50000 && Game1.player.hasItemInInventory(709, 150, 0)) <-- 50,000 gold & 150 hardwood for the second upgrade
  {
  Game1.player.daysUntilHouseUpgrade = 3;
  Game1.player.Money -= 50000;
  Game1.player.removeItemsFromInventory(709, 150);
  Game1.getCharacterFromName("Robin", false).setNewDialogue(Game1.content.LoadString("Data\\ExtraDialogue:Robin_HouseUpgrade_Accepted"), false, false);
  Game1.drawDialogue(Game1.getCharacterFromName("Robin", false));
  break;
  }
  if (Game1.player.Money < 50000)
  {
  Game1.drawObjectDialogue(Game1.content.LoadString("Strings\\UI:NotEnoughMoney3"));
  break;
  }
  Game1.drawObjectDialogue(Game1.content.LoadString("Strings\\Locations:ScienceHouse_Carpenter_NotEnoughWood2"));
  break;
  case 2:
  if (Game1.player.Money >= 100000) <-- 100,000 gold for the third upgrade
  {
  Game1.player.daysUntilHouseUpgrade = 3;
  Game1.player.Money -= 100000;
  Game1.getCharacterFromName("Robin", false).setNewDialogue(Game1.content.LoadString("Data\\ExtraDialogue:Robin_HouseUpgrade_Accepted"), false, false);
  Game1.drawDialogue(Game1.getCharacterFromName("Robin", false));
  break;
  }
  if (Game1.player.Money >= 100000)
  break;
  Game1.drawObjectDialogue(Game1.content.LoadString("Strings\\UI:NotEnoughMoney3"));
  break;
  }
  }

 

I was afraid of that... So there is absolutely no way to alter this? Would it even be possible to use Smapi to change it I wonder..? Thank you for your help btw, Hammurabi.

 

Not without a lot of work. Even then, I'm not sure if it's really possible.

You might be able to cheat a little bit by just adding money and/or resources back to the player's inventory if you're just lowering the costs (though I'm not sure how best to check for the upgrade dialog; maybe just compare the daysUntilHouseUpgrade to its previous value each time the location changes?), but I don't think that you'd be able to actually have that option be conditional on them having additional resources, or more of the same type of resources or money.
