I'll look into it! I've been pretty busy updating some of my older mods lately, but as far as I know, there are two similar mods that allow honey (and mead?) icons – I'll try to decide which one I'll use soon.
Until I get around to doing that, I think replacing the dependency field in my manifest should do the trick, too. The EBAGI GitHub page has instructions for that if I remember correctly.
Hello! I really love your mod. Ever since I discovered it, I've exclusively played with the aim of making a meadery! I just wanted to ask if you have any plans on updating this mod (esp since BAGI is technically obsolete now). Thanks!
To be entirely honest, I'm not really sure what to do with my BAGI mods. To my knowledge, the vanilla game replicates its function by using the processed item's internal color tag and applying that to the resulting artisan good. While that means that, for example, apple and blueberry wine will look different, apple and cherry wine will still have the exact same red sprite. Mead, as far as I know, doesn't have that luxury, though, and the mead add-on for BAGI hasn't been updated yet. I know a "replacement" for BAGI called Sprite Patcher is in the works, but I don't know when that'll release or if it'll even work for mead. What I do know is that I'd like to keep these fully custom mead sprites working. That being said, I've no idea how that will work yet... sorry I can't give you a more satisfying answer.
Hello! Thank you so much for the thorough explanation. And it's alright! I think a lot of modders right now are kinda scrambling to make sense of the new update hehe. If it doesn't end up working anymore (or maybe the new Sprite Patcher will take its place), I'd still like to thank you so much for all your work on this! I really enjoyed using all your mods and you brought me a lot of happiness during some tough times!
Ha, yeah. It's got a lot more actual content than people initially assumed and it broke a lot of old stuff. Well, here's to hoping we'll be able to use custom mead sprites again eventually. And thanks a lot. I know it sounds like just an old phrase, but that really means a lot to me. I hope your situation has improved, too!
Hello again! Your mods have been working brilliantly for me since I last commented here haha. However, today I noticed that the Quality of Life mod is now deprecated, and VonLoewe's new Modular Gameplay Overhaul mod removes the feature of meads taking after the input honey type! Are there any alternatives to this? Flower Meads is not compatible with BAGI I think, so I'm kind of lost. Worse case scenario I won't update SMAPI anymore so that QoL continues to work (which i don't mind that much, but alternatives are always nice!)
Very glad to hear you're still enjoying them, that really means a lot to me! Yeah, I noticed the same problem with QoL and the Gameplay Overhaul, but luckily, there's an alternative: Flower Meads. The mod's a bit on the older site, but it works flawlessly. I haven't had the time to update my mod descriptions to mention it yet, but I guess now's a great time to do just that, heh. Thanks for the reminder!
omg Flower Meads works with BAGI? the comments i read on that mod's page seemed to suggest they weren't compatible, but then again they were old comments. I'll give it a go then, thanks a lot! ^v^
Yep, really glad it does myself, ha. The comments you're referring to were posted in February 2021 while BAGI's mead add-on was only uploaded in May 2022, that's probably why they mention it not working. I did a bit of testing and had it work just fine, so there probably shouldn't be any problems. Glad I could help!
For some reason the mead icons refuse to load in the CJB item spawner, which I use to test if a mod that adds items is working or not. I'll post it in the "bugs" section with my SMAPI log. I have all prereq mods installed and set for honey and flower types.
Yeah, I've noticed that myself, but it's sadly not something I can fix. It seems to be an issue on QoL's side (see its comment section) that's been there for a little while now. Basically, I assume CJB only shows what's already in the vanilla game's code, so just the normal mead in contrast to all the different types of honey. Better Treehouses specifically adds the additional tree honeys by patching the item spawner which QoL doesn't do afaik. That's just what I think is the problem, though.
Hey there. I love these icons, very cute. Better Beehouses also allows for fruit trees to pollinate honey. I wonder if these icons could also be used in combination with that mod?
First of all, thanks a lot for saying that – really glad you like them! As for Better Beehouses, I did some testing and couldn't get trees to produce honey at all and when I asked on the SDV discord, I was told it only works for modded trees that produce flowers. I'll do some more research and get back to you. Generally, though, the sprites I made should work with any fruit tree honey and mead regardless of how exactly you get them (Fruit Tree Honey, Better Beehouses, anything I'm not aware of atm). Would you mind testing that for me and telling me if it works? Even if it ends up not working, the worst thing that should happen is the sprites not being recolored properly.
Oh that is good to know. It sounds like you have done more testing than I have. I always forget to put beehouses around my fruit trees haha. Sounds like it could be useful to use Better Beehouses and Fruit Tree Honey at the same time get as many possible honey sources as I can. Thanks for the info! Definitely going to use your awesome icons.
I've got both good and bad news for you. Bad ones first: Better Beehouses and Fruit Tree Honey aren't compatible with each other. The good news: Better Beehouses just got an update that allows all trees to produce honey, so everything's fine!
Hello! I recently installed this mod along with all the prerequisites it needs (I opted for Better Beehouses instead of Fruit Tree Honey). The honey sprites for the respective fruit trees show up fine, but the mead sprites don't show up for some reason? I just get the vanilla mead icon instead. I've restarted the game to check if the sprites change too but they don't sadly :(
Oh, that obviously shouldn't happen! Hm... everything's working fine on my end. I thought I might've broken something with the update, but seems like that's not it. Just to make sure, do you have both the mead add-on for BAGI as well as Quality of Life installed and have you made sure that QoL is actually configured to make kegs remember the honey mead is made from? I think it should be enabled by default, but I'm not entirely sure. Or maybe you accidentally renamed the icons? It doesn't really matter which set of sprites you want to use, but it must be in the assets folder and named "treemead.png". I'm sure we'll be able to figure this out!
Hi hello, turns out this is a certified dumbass moment by me. I only read the little Requirements table before installing this mod, and I thought QoL was only for flower meads T_T on reading your reply as well as the description properly, I realised my mistake and downloaded QoL immediately, and I have the correct mead sprites now!! I am so sorry for wasting your time aaaaaa I'm just gonna go crawl under my bed in shame now TvT
Well, that's great to hear! There's no need to apologize at all, I'm glad you've been able to find the problem! :) If anything, this means I should probably make QoL an actual requirement after all, so it's time to update everything a bit more. Thanks!
