Mr. Qi Friendship and Romance Mod Devlog 5/9/2024

Previous update

For those curious about the mod progress, read on!

Since the previous update, most of my efforts have been spent on Art and Implementation. While I've made some progress on Writing, that hasn't been my main focus.

Writing

Heart Events: no major progress, besides a bit of writing/blocking for the 4 heart cutscene.

Daily Dialogues: Generic dailies are 64% done. Unique dailies are currently on the back-burner. Marriage dailies are also on the back-burner, but I have quite a few written regardless.

Misc dialogues: A new section! This includes so many little details, which even get as hyper-specific as what happens if you divorce him and then attempt to invite him to a movie. What does he say if you give him a bouquet at low hearts? What does he say if you're married to him and there are slimes in the house? Stuff like that! There are 49 of these written so far, and it's hard to estimate my progress because as I continue looking through both the documentation and existing files I get more and more ideas.

Gift Dialogues: Not a ton of progress since the previous update, though I've written his birthday gift reactions.

Art

Portraits: 2 new portraits finished: blush and shocked.

Sprites: You may have seen me posting about this, but Mr. Qi does not have a walk cycle in the vanilla game, so I had to make custom animations for him. I've also changed his color scheme to better match his sprites.

Besides that, I've also made a walk cycle for the Bouncer, who will show up in at least one cutscene, maybe two.

look at him go!

Maps: I'm really excited to announce that I've recruited someone to help with maps! Their name is wovensong, and they're currently working on the Casino VIP Room, which features in the 10 heart cutscene. They're helping with both the sprites and .tmx files, which is a huge help.

Misc sprites: none yet

Implementation

I have a functional version of Mr. Qi that can be befriended in my files now. He doesn't have a ton of dialogue in game yet, but you can give him stuff, raise his friendship, and trigger some placeholder heart events. But getting to that point has been kind of a hassle, in ways that the average modder doesn't have to deal with!

You see... the vanilla "Mister Qi" has a space in his internal name. If you know anything about coding, this should be setting off alarm bells.

Here's an example of where that's an issue: say you want to trigger a cutscene at two hearts with an NPC. You'd write something like:

f Jodi 500

which the game reads as "trigger this cutscene when you have 500 amount of friendship with the NPC named Jodi"

But if you were to write:

f Mister Qi 500

the game would go "you want me to trigger this cutscene when you have Qi amount of friendship with the NPC named Mister?? WTF?" and then SMAPI throws you a big red error and the cutscene would never trigger. Yippee!

It took me... a while to figure out how to get around this. Luckily the 1.6 update now allows for parsing for quotes in certain scenarios, so what actually works is:

f \"Mister Qi\" 500

So I'm glad that I started this mod now instead of pre-1.6!

However, it's definitely possible that the space in the internal name will cause issues down the line, so I have some (rough) code for what to do in that scenario. This involves hiding the vanilla Mister Qi, and adding a new, identical NPC with an internal name that doesn't have a space. Other mods, such as Morris Redeemed and some NPCs like Marlon and Gunther in SVE, do this as well.

And, if you're thinking that I could just change the internal name itself: maybe?? But probably not. There's some hardcoded stuff surrounding Mister Qi, and I worry about breaking it. Additionally, if any future official Stardew updates added new content revolving around Mister Qi, there's a risk that the mod would break in more serious ways.

Final Notes

Overall, I feel like I'm making pretty good progress! There's still a lot to get done, but I'm proud of the work I've done so far. Thanks for reading!

I was looking through sdv mods for player customization and at first I was like “idk if I want her to be cutesy” but now I’m like “haha cutesy girl who is fuckibg insane and goes to the mines and skull caverns 24/7 even tho her husband told her to stop go brrrrr”

[wahhbajack]

Finally

My signature shitty WIP

I've gotten three expressions done. Just for the base fit. Ima draw her beach and winter wear, but i gotta figure out how to code in the flip daddling season changing.

I don't like the third one. I wanna fix it. Just her eye is wonky to me. The eyes are so hard in this style, esp since there aren't many references to use (in game, yes, but not for the official art style. Gotta fix the eyes in the second one too the more I look at it.

I can't figure out why cloudflare won't let me log in via Firefox, but alas, I downloaded brave, and it works.

Was actually able to update my game, all mods PLUS I uploaded most of my own mods. ^_^

I'm having an issue with the two that I am most proud of, though, because I can't open the map-texture-files to verify and make screenshots. I also cannot figure out why my custom sword doesn't work. The game just fucks up it's stats. I got it to work halfway, meaning it does load the image, name and description. I am also able to buy it from the shop. But the stats are completely (!) fucked up (it shows as a -2 Level sword?!?) and if I use it, the game crashes.

It's even more "funny" because the old save where I already bought it, all the stats are correct and it works. x_x

well. I have been more than productive today. ^_^ It's okay if I didn't accomplish it all today, that just means I get to solve something tomorrow. :D

MOD TEXT EDITING — FOR FREE!

Hey, y'all! I see on Stardew Mods that many creators may not have the ability to edit their work/dialogue for grammar and spelling.

I'm willing to edit your mods for free! Just send me a text document (I'll provide an email) and I'll go through and make some happy lil edits for you.

Just shoot me a message and I can help you out. I won't charge you or anything — I love this game, I love the mods, and I love the modders!

(This isn't exclusive to Stardew, either. If you're modding another game and want another pair of eyes to look over any added text, give me a holler!)

[melvincholy]

is there a stardew valley modding tumblr bc im dying trying to figure anything out

[solns]

im just playin happy home designer in stardew valley lol

and the basement

[quinloki]

stop omgeee you put zoro in stardew valley?! that’s so cute!! what other things did you change? (if you feel like sharing ofc!)

To clarify - I don’t make mods - but the modding community for Stardew Valley is AMAZING. (And safe, especially via Nexus Mods’ website)

There’s a mod to add Zoro as a character you can eventually marry. There’s one that makes Sanji the owner of the town’s tavern xD but I haven’t tried that one.

There’s two major mods that add new maps and areas and story lines - Ridgeside Village and Stardew Valley Expanded are both *excellent* additions.

I have a few other mods I use to make inventory and travel easier - you don’t need them for the vanilla game, but Ridgeside and Expanded add so much the extra help makes it much more relaxing ^_^

I like the Zoro mod a lot, but I have gone in and customized some of his dialogue. I figure as a writer it’s only natural. (The modder who made it did make it easier to edit the script so that helps.)

But yeah, I think I have somewhere around 2,500 hours sink into that game. I just really love it. And there’s a huge incoming content patch for the core game on the way too - gonna add festivals and other content and I’m excited to see what all will be in that xD
