mods, this section isn't relevant to you; see the main README to use or create mods.

## Development
|
||
|
|
### Compiling from source
|
||
|
|
Using an official SMAPI release is recommended for most users.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SMAPI uses some C# 7 code, so you'll need at least
|
||
|
|
[Visual Studio 2017](https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/community/) on Windows,
|
||
|
|
[MonoDevelop 7.0](http://www.monodevelop.com/) on Linux,
|
||
|
|
[Visual Studio 2017 for Mac](https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/visual-studio-mac/), or an equivalent
|
||
|
|
IDE to compile it. It uses build configuration derived from the
|
||
|
|
[crossplatform mod config](https://github.com/Pathoschild/Stardew.ModBuildConfig#readme) to detect
|
||
|
|
your current OS automatically and load the correct references. Compile output will be placed in a
|
||
|
|
`bin` folder at the root of the git repository.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Debugging a local build
|
||
|
|
Rebuilding the solution in debug mode will copy the SMAPI files into your game folder. Starting
|
||
|
|
the `StardewModdingAPI` project with debugging from Visual Studio (on Mac or Windows) will launch
|
||
|
|
SMAPI with the debugger attached, so you can intercept errors and step through the code being
|
||
|
|
executed. This doesn't work in MonoDevelop on Linux, unfortunately.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Preparing a release
|
||
|
|
To prepare a crossplatform SMAPI release, you'll need to compile it on two platforms. See
|
||
|
|
[crossplatforming info](http://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Creating_a_SMAPI_mod#Test_on_all_platforms)
|
||
|
|
on the wiki for the first-time setup.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Update the version number in `GlobalAssemblyInfo.cs` and `Constants::Version`. Make sure you use a
|
||
|
|
[semantic version](http://semver.org). Recommended format:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
build type | format | example
|
||
|
|
:--------- | :-------------------------------- | :------
|
||
|
|
dev build | `<version>-alpha.<timestamp>` | `2.0-alpha.20171230`
|
||
|
|
prerelease | `<version>-prerelease.<ID>` | `2.0-prerelease.2`
|
||
|
|
release | `<version>` | `2.0`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. In Windows:
|
||
|
|
1. Rebuild the solution in _Release_ mode.
|
||
|
|
2. Rename `bin/Packaged` to `SMAPI <version>` (e.g. `SMAPI 2.0`).
|
||
|
|
2. Transfer the `SMAPI <version>` folder to Linux or Mac.
|
||
|
|
_This adds the installer executable and Windows files. We'll do the rest in Linux or Mac,
|
||
|
|
since we need to set Unix file permissions that Windows won't save._
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. In Linux or Mac:
|
||
|
|
1. Rebuild the solution in _Release_ mode.
|
||
|
|
2. Copy `bin/internal/Packaged/Mono` into the `SMAPI <version>` folder.
|
||
|
|
3. If you did everything right so far, you should have a folder like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
SMAPI-2.x/
|
||
|
|
install.exe

|

|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
4. Open a terminal in the `SMAPI <version>` folder and run `chmod 755 internal/Mono/StardewModdingAPI`.
|
||
|
|
5. Copy & paste the `SMAPI <version>` folder as `SMAPI <version> for developers`.
|
||
|
|
6. In the `SMAPI <version>` folder...
|
||
|
|
* edit `internal/Mono/StardewModdingAPI.config.json` and
|
||
|
|
`internal/Windows/StardewModdingAPI.config.json` to disable developer mode;
|
||
|
|
* delete `internal/Windows/StardewModdingAPI.xml`.
|
||
|
|
7. Compress the two folders into `SMAPI <version>.zip` and `SMAPI <version> for developers.zip`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Customisation
|
||
|
|
### Configuration file
|
||
|
|
You can customise the SMAPI behaviour by editing the `StardewModdingAPI.config.json` file in your
|
||
|
|
game folder.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Basic fields:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
field | purpose
|
||
|
|
----------------- | -------
|
||
|
|
`DeveloperMode` | Default `false` (except in _SMAPI for developers_ releases). Whether to enable features intended for mod developers (mainly more detailed console logging).
|
||
|
|
`CheckForUpdates` | Default `true`. Whether SMAPI should check for a newer version when you load the game. If a new version is available, a small message will appear in the console. This doesn't affect the load time even if your connection is offline or slow, because it happens in the background.
|
||
|
|
`VerboseLogging` | Default `false`. Whether SMAPI should log more information about the game context.
|
||
|
|
`ModData` | Internal metadata about SMAPI mods. Changing this isn't recommended and may destabilise your game. See documentation in the file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Command-line arguments
|
||
|
|
The SMAPI installer recognises three command-line arguments:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
argument | purpose
|
||
|
|
-------- | -------
|
||
|
|
`--install` | Preselects the install action, skipping the prompt asking what the user wants to do.
|
||
|
|
`--uninstall` | Preselects the uninstall action, skipping the prompt asking what the user wants to do.
|
||
|
|
`--game-path "path"` | Specifies the full path to the folder containing the Stardew Valley executable, skipping automatic detection and any prompt to choose a path. If the path is not valid, the installer displays an error.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SMAPI itself recognises two arguments, but these are intended for internal use or testing and may
|
||
|
|
change without warning.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
argument | purpose
|
||
|
|
-------- | -------
|
||
|
|
`--log-path "path"` | The relative or absolute path of the log file SMAPI should write.
|
||
|
|
`--no-terminal` | SMAPI won't write anything to the console window. (Messages will still be written to the log file.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Compile flags
|
||
|
|
SMAPI uses a small number of conditional compilation constants, which you can set by editing the
|
||
|
|
`<DefineConstants>` element in `StardewModdingAPI.csproj`. Supported constants:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
flag | purpose
|
||
|
|
---- | -------
|
||
|
|
`SMAPI_FOR_WINDOWS` | Indicates that SMAPI is being compiled on Windows for players on Windows. Set automatically in `crossplatform.targets`.
