📋 About This Mod
ScaleUp 2
by PlatonymousAllows adding larger and or higher resolution textures via ContentPatcher
Important: Currently only available for the Stardew Valley 1. 6 alpha !!
The mod on it's own does nothing.
Allows adding scaled images with highter resolution and/or add extra pixels to the sprites.
When adding a texture in contentpatcher, add another entry that specifies the scaleup parameters:
"Action": "EditData",
"Target": "{{Platonymous. ScaleUp/Assets}}",
"Playtonymous. ScaleUpExample_Plant_Crop": {
"Asset": "Mods/Playtonymous. ScaleUpExample_Plant/Crops",
"Scale": 4,
"PaddingWidth": 120,
"PaddingHeight": 56
PaddingWidth: The extra number of pixels you added to the width of the image (if scaled, the scaled pixels added)
PaddingWidth: The extra number of pixels you added to the height of the image (if scaled, the scaled pixels added)
When adding pixel to a tiled image, use the total pixels added in the parameter, but make sure that every tile has the same extra pixels.
(Padding can be left out if you did not add any pixel to the image)
