I would love the ability to have both a cat and a dog with multiple colors/breeds of each at the same time. Same for the horse, if that's not already possible (I haven't gotten that far, but from the images I've seen it doesn't seem so). This seems like it would be very hard to do for a mod so I did suggest the developer add it, but it can't hurt to ask modders too I suppose. It has to be possible in some fashion because the cow has 2 different colors that you can have at the same time - though you get those randomly and don't get to choose. If you were going to make this happen, I would love to see the cats/dogs adoptable from a rescue center, rather than buying the cats/dogs from a breeder. I know it's a game, but it would still bother me a little to buy from a breeder. ><
I'd like to bump this request. There is already a way to have muliple pets at once, but they all use the same sprites. http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/cat-and-dog-at-the-same-time.110225/ I have many variations of cats and I would love to have them each use their own seperate .xnb sprite file if possible.
I'm dying to be able to do this too. There's so many pets to choose from but can only have max 2 different sprites atm... @keyten : How did you do that? :O
Something like this: Code: public static Texture2D OpenTexture { get; set; } private class CustomAnSprite : AnimatedSpriteDelegate { public CustomAnSprite() : base(OpenTexture, 0, 32, 32) { } } //Loading png from mod's folder var path = Path.Combine(PathOnDisk, "Cat_10.png"); @event.ReturnValue = @event.Root.LoadResource(path); Console.WriteLine(@event.ReturnValue); OpenTexture = @event.Root.LoadResource(path); //adding character @event.Root.Locations[1].Characters.Add(@event.Root.Locations[1].Characters[1]); //I used this to clone cats. They formed one ultra cat with the speed of 30 cats. After sleeping and reloading the game the became 30 normal cats. curloc.Characters[0].Name = "Sans"; If you use this Nothing will happen. But If the character was Npc and you reload the game IT will try to load xnb files with that name to add prites and portraits. curloc.Characters[0].Id = 1250; //I have no Idea what the point of this Id //Randomizing cats sprites. int CatNum = 1, DogNum = 1; for (int i = 0; i < curloc.Characters.Count; i++) { string s; if (curloc.Characters[i].Name=="Cattos") { s = "Cat_" + CatNum+".png"; CatNum++; if (CatNum > 16) CatNum = 1; } else { s = "Dog_" + DogNum + ".png"; DogNum++; if (DogNum > 14) DogNum = 1; } var path = Path.Combine(PathOnDisk, s); Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("en-us"); @event.ReturnValue = @event.Root.LoadResource(path); Console.WriteLine(@event.ReturnValue); OpenTexture = @event.Root.LoadResource(path); var CustomAnSprite = @event.Proxy<AnimatedSpriteAccessor, AnimatedSprite>(new CustomAnSprite());
So i'm guessing nobody here has had that adorable little problem where you can't plant, water, till, or do anything because their pet is in the way and you have to kick it to the side so you can finish your work then multiply that on a scale of fifty
I'd love to see support for multiple pets (even going further than just a cat and dog could be a neat idea). Past games similar to stardew have had options for x amount of cats and dogs. Some going as far as to have other small animals as pets. I'd also love to have maybe one or two more horses.. Yes yes I know most harvest moon games allow only one horse. But there was a few that did let you have more than one, I was heavily fond of one such game back in.. gameboy color I think.. where you could breed horses even. >w<; I'll be honest.. if we were allowed multiple horses that is where my gold would go.. have to give them a nice pasture and make the farm look pretty.
This would be great! Does something like this exist? EDIT: AHHHH here it is: http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/smapi-more-pets.4288/ Does somebody know please if this mod works with the newest version of the game? THANKS
Entroarox is working on updating all of their mods for the latest version of the game along with the new SMAPI update (which pretty much broke all their mods to begin with) so it will be a while before these mods are usable again
You could also replace the xnb files inside the 'pets' folder with your desired cat/dog reskin for more diversity.
I might be mistaken because I haven't tested the mod yet, but I think that now the 'more animals' mod does this. Here's a link to download it. https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/2274
