📋 About This Mod



Now Compatible with Stardew 1. 6

Note for authors of Skill Mods utilizing SpaceCore:

All of the following should be done in your own mod's files.

All of the rings are added right before a save is created or a save begins to load, meaning with the proper setup you can edit the rings using Content Patcher. Anything about them can be changed other than their effect and price, though just to be safe I would stick to changing the:

  • []DisplayName

    []Description

    []Texture

    []CustomFields

Example:

"Action": "EditData",

"Target": "Data/Objects",

"Time": "{{Range: 0600, 2600}}"

"Fields": {

"RingID": {

"DisplayName": "Something Else",

"CustomFields": {

"AlphaMeece. SkillRings_Shop": "SeedShop"

Some notes:

  • []The "When Time" isn't required per se, but it removes a warning content patcher gives on startup since the rings don't actually exist until the player starts a game

    []"RingID" will be: AlphaMeece. SkillRings_Ring

    - For example if JohnDoe made a horsemanship mod and the skill's ID was JohnDoe. Horsemanship, the rings would have the IDs:  - AlphaMeece. SkillRings_JohnDoe. HorsemanshipRing1  - AlphaMeece. SkillRings_JohnDoe. HorsemanshipRing2  - AlphaMeece. SkillRings_JohnDoe. HorsemanshipRing3

  • The only customfield used by the mod will be "AlphaMeece. SkillRings_Shop" and the value associated with it should be the name of the shop in the game, I don't see why this wouldn't work with modded shops, but I have not tested it as of yet. If this custom field is excluded it will default to the traveling merchant. If the value is a shop that does not exist then it will default to traveling merchant and display a message in the console.

    SpaceCore Based Skill Mods

    All custom skill mods made with space core are automatically compatible with this mod, the rings will be automatically generated and sold by the travelling merchant. You can disable this functionality in the mod's configuration file.

    "moddedSkillrings": true/false

    Notes for Generic Mod Config Menu users:

    Any updates to skill buffs will not occur to a worn ring until it is re-equipped.

    Any updates to a ring's price will not occur until a new day has passed.
