Heart Event Helper

This mod allows you to see before clicking how dialogue answers will impact your friendship with NPCs. The mod is highly configurable and should be compatible with any mods that add dialogue or events, including SVE, RSV, East Scarp, and more!

• []If installing manually, extract the mod into your Stardew Valley/Mods folder. It should contain both the "Heart Event Helper" and "Heart Event Helper - Icons (CP)" folders. (The "Heart Event Helper" folder contains the code for the mod itself, while the Content Patcher portion contains the custom icons.)

  []If installing via mod manager, download using your manager and install normally.

  []To uninstall, simply delete the mod from your mods folder.

  After running the game with the mod installed, you can edit the mod's config with GMCM or directly in the config.json that is generated. There are two configs that can be edited: the "Heart Event Helper" main config and the "Heart Event Helper - Icons (CP)" icon config.

  Within the main config, use '{#}', including the brackets, to insert the number of friendship points gained or lost. Use '{#_abs}' to insert the absolute value of friendship points, and '{#_heart}' to insert the number of hearts gained or lost (points/250).

  The special characters to use the custom icons are '¢', '£', and '¤', or alternatively '{1}', '{2}', and '{3}'. Other common special characters include '♡' or '{heart}' (heart), '' (star), '`' (up arrow), and '_' (down arrow if SVE or DaisyNiko's tilesheets are installed).

  Spaces aren't automatically added between the default dialogue and affixes, so they must be included in the config fields if desired. To disable changes to neutral responses, clear the 'Text Before Neutral' and 'Text After Neutral' fields.

  For Latin languages, see the 'Heart Event Helper - Icons (CP)' config menu to change the custom icons. For other languages (ja/ko/zh), only single-color icons work due to base game font limitations. However, you can edit ja_ko_zh.png in the folder "Mods/HeartEventHelper/HeartEventHelper-Icons/Assets" to change the default icons to your liking.

  There is currently a known incompatibility with Font Settings (and likely other mods that significantly change the game's dialogue font) where custom icons will not display. I don't think there's an elegant fix to this without altering the base game's code as much as those mods do, but I would in the future at least like to add support for monochrome icons when using Font Settings.

  Otherwise, there are no known issues right now! I've done my best to make sure my mod doesn't incorrectly display friendship results or, worse, cause events to not load correctly. With that said, it's very possible there ar
