BinaryBible Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I wanted to recolor some of the furniture for Stardew Valley to be more of my taste, so I embarked on an adventure to try and do more than just recolor the sprites, and actually have them capable of working. I successfully unpacked the files, edited them, repacked them, and went ahead making a folder in my Mods folder to store my information. I was able to follow along the instructions to create a manifest.JSON file, but it also needs a content.JSON, and the instructions are quite confusing me. In fact, I don't even feel like i'm being instructed by these.I am on this page and... I don't see what i'm supposed to be doing. I don't know why some of the words are green, and some are red. I don't know if that means something, but i'm not seeing information about color coding. I've re-read this over and over, but i'm lost. "You can get a list of content packs installed for your mod, and access the files within it" doesn't mean anything to me. I don't know what i'm supposed to be writing, what i'm supposed to be replacing, what i'm supposed to be accessing... I know that I edited the images and want to use them, but I haven't taken a computer course in a LONG time. This is different from cutting and pasting html to make a myspace layout! I need to stress the fact that I have been diagnosed with a learning disability, so I have more difficulty with written directions than if I were to watch a video or something. I do have the ability to understand this, i'm positive, but I require more detailed information, and google is *not* helping me. At all. The way everything is written, I feel like i'm missing crucial information, and I don't have the available vocabulary to accurately describe what it is that I even need.

SmVV Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Archive your mod, upload it somewhere and give me link.I will create content.json for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BinaryBible Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Archive your mod, upload it somewhere and give me link.I will create content.json for you.That took me a while to figure out too, but I got it done! I appreciate it. I think by looking at that page, and the content.JSON you make for me, I will be able to dissect what it is I need to do to create them myself in the future. I feel like it's nowhere near as difficult as my brain is trying to convince me it is, I think i'm just getting visually overwhelmed as coding is basically its own language, and i'm not used to it. I did not change very much as I didn't want to commit many hours of editing to something if I couldn't eventually get it to work, but i'd be interested in editing other things in the future. There are quite a lot of furniture items that I would like if they were just a different color :tongue: https://github.com/BinaryBible/Stardew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BinaryBible Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 Thank you so much! I can't wait to try it out and see if it works... and looking between the instructions page I found and what you've done so I can figure out/learn what you did so I can do it myself in the future. There are also some XNB mods I've come across that I wouldn't mind converting to Content Patcher files :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmVovan Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 No problems, my friend.XNB modding is not very difficult, even with CP adaptation.Just take your time, may be you should download some CP mods and see how its content.json files looks like.Good luck!
