New Editing
Thanks for coming to my TED talk. I'm Spider, not necessarily new to Stardew, but very interested in code. After tearing apart some of the Game Code and Data\(files), I've found some inconsistencies in the wiki that I'm hoping to fix while working on my own interactive guide. Please use or create new topics
Project for you?
Simply put: which dialogue portrait is used when a villager is gifted a loved/liked/neutral/disliked/hated item?
The English wiki doesn't match any other language's wiki because the EN wiki was updated after v1.5. Based on memory, the main change was from "Angry" or "Annoyed" to "Concerned" portraits for hated gifts. Perhaps also from "Concerned" to "Neutral" portraits for neutral gifts. Something like that.
I tried to verify the changes in-game, but in some cases the neutral portrait is almost indistinguishable from the standard portrait. I started to dig into the game code, but ran out of time when more pressing things came up.
Areas to research:
- Modding:Dialogue#Portrait_commands
- Dialogue::getPortraitIndex in the game code
- Unpacked NPC portrait files in Data\Portraits
- The naming conventions used on the wiki for individual portraits (see Category:NPC images)
You can look at a villager's page history or compare the page in English with the page in another language to see the differences in portraits used in the "Gifts" section of the page.
I guess that's it, if you have any questions at all, please leave a comment here. If I've forgot anything, apologies! And, there's no pressure at all, you can ignore this completely if you wish for whatever reason, no problem.
