Hi sorry to bother you but I saw that you posted a tutorial on how to turn xnb and png into cp so I was wondering if you could post one on how to make mods [CF] I will be very grateful for that I am having a hard time in this area.

It's different from cp and i havent really touched that area but i'll see what i can do :3

turn xnb and png to cp

cp is a mod in which you didn't have to change the whole content (unlike xnb, which replace the original assets) for it to work. you simply need to turn those xnb or png files to cp. don't forget to download the content patcher mod first for it to work! first, a cp file should have these three things.

make a folder, and inside it you should have these three things. first the asset folder. simply make a new folder for that, you should put your xnb or png file inside it. that's it for the asset folder, now you need to make the content and manifest.

the content and manifest must have JSON format, but you can definitely edit it easily through notepad. I'll teach you how to create it, open up your notepad app include your code. I'll explain it simply.

{

"Format": "1.3", // you should delete the // and the explanation next to it for this to work.

"Changes": [

{

"Action": "Load", // see what the codes meant in content patcher tutoria page, this is just a simple code i usually use to replace the asset that i want.

"Target": "Animals/BabyGoat", // you should check your content folder for this to see the right path. for this example i want to change how the baby goat look. babygoat.xnb is inside the animal folder so write the target as Animals/BabyGoat.

"FromFile": "assets/BabyGoat.png" // remember the asset you put inside the asset folder? you should write the .png/.xnb according to what file you put there.

}, //don't forget the comma if you want to write another code in one.

{

"Action": "Load",

"Target": "Animals/horse",

"FromFile": "assets/horse.png"

}

]

}

Don't forget to delete the // and explanation next to it so that it can work! to check if your code is right or there's something missing or not, go to smapi validator, remember that if you miss even only one comma, it won't work.

click save as and rename the notepad as content.json, change the format to ALL FILES! this is very important. Next is the manifest, it's not as significant as the content but you need it to work. You need to create it exactly like content file, here's the code, it wll be the same in every manifest file.

{

"Name": "Animal", // name of your mod

"Author": "Test", // name of the modder

"Version": "1.0.0", // it should be the latest, but usually from my experience, you should lower the version if you want to use mobile (it will only work if the mod where version isn't significant for example a grass recolour mod).

"Description": "New animals", // write whatever for this

"UniqueID": "Cute.animal", // unique id is for your mod write whatever just remember you need the dot.

"MinimumApiVersion": "2.5",

"UpdateKeys": [ "" ], //for nexus

"ContentPackFor": {

"UniqueID": "Pathoschild.ContentPatcher"

}

}

that's it, you should do the same thing as the content before. the name of the notepad should be manifest.json and change it to all files! After this, you're done! if it isn't working, see the smapi log (when it loads the mod, you can see the black screen right? see what's wrong with your mod and change accordingly), you can also check again on smapi validator to see what's wrong.

super duper basic tutorial

this is important to follow my other tutorials, i'll explain it as simply as i can!

i. basics

first, you should download smapi to mod your stardew. you should easily install it with the guide that comes with it. i also find the alternative way if you failed to install it the normal way here.

after smapi is installed, you should see this.

mods folder is where your mods will go, while contents folder have the stardew original assets which you can replace if you think the loading screen is too long. but be careful, if you use the contents folder and replace it, it could potentially break you game, so always backup the original folder.

ii. content patcher, xnb

xnb mods replace files in your game's content folder with custom versions. there are two ways you can apply the mod. first way is through replacing the xnb file with the retexture you made or downloaded in content folder (stardew valley/content) the path to put the mod will be given by the creators. but this is not recommended because it might break the games file. if you downloaded from korean sites and they still use xnb or png, there wil be tutorial by me later to turn those to content patcher.

the second way is through content patcher, it will load the mods you have without you needing to change the original. this is way better because you have more controls of you mod here as well (you can recolour the pngs etc) which will be explained more in later tutorial. don't forget to download this for cp files to work. reminder that xnb files needed to be converted to cp first for it to work.

iii. editing

the smapi itself is pretty self - explanatory but i'll try to explain how this work so that you can continue to modding easily. in the content folder, you can see many subfolders and inside that, you can see the xnb file. here's an easy tutorial on how to unpack and edit those. (retextures only)

after that, you should convert it to cp or repack the png files you edit and put it in the right path aka replace it with your version.

ik this can seem intimidating at first but do test and trials and you'll grasp the logic easily. just don't forget to always have a backup of the original folders in case anything goes awry.
