Version 2.0.0 is now out, please make sure to remove the folder that contained the previous version of the mod. Reply to this comment if you'd like to ask a question / mention a bug that specifically relates to the 2.0.0 version of the mod. Thankyou!
NOTE: Old Shiny Fish from before this update will become error items when updated, as the internal name and logic for shiny fish was fully redone. If you want to keep your old shiny fish, hold off on updating.
Made it to Y2 before my first shiny [on this file] which was a King Salmon! I had forgotten I had this mod installed lol but now that I'm reminded I just wanted to share my appreciation. This particular shiny is really nice and I look forward to future catches. Great mod all around :)
Ah, it seems like I have a typo in the name of aquarium sprite for grass carp causing it to be skipped. I'll fix this of course but if you want it added all that needs to be done is have the sprite in aquariumfish/mods/flashshifter.stardewvalleyexpandedcp changed from "secretwiidsaquiariumfish" to "secretwoodsaquariumfish"
Is Shiny Charm only obtainable by catching all the fish? I have way too many modded fish, and achieving this seems really hard. Can you add another way to get it?
At this stage yes the shiny charm is only obtainable by catching all the fish, after which you will get a cut scene with willy. What alternative methods would you suggest? If you want the higher shiny chance you can increase that via the config.
I could also add a debug command to give the shiny charm.
I think maybe after getting all the first generation of legendary fish or all the legendary fish? Perhaps after fixing the community center, it's also a good idea to let Willie gain more confidence in the players? I have obtained the Shiny Charm through CJB. I set the base probability to 0.02, the Shiny Charm effect to 10x, and the bubble to 5x. According to the theory, I should have a 30% chance to get a shiny fish. However, the actual probability seems particularly low.
As a fishing and Pokémon enthusiast, I hope to see mods like Fish Bonanza, Fish of Stardew - AztecViper, More New Fish, Fish of Teyvat, and Unique Fish Additions all feature shiny fish in the future. While this is clearly unrealistic and quite fantastical, isn't it natural for people to have aspirations?
Haha, I would like to expand the coverage of shiny fish for sure! It depends on the number of fish to make new versions for, as well as if they are willing to give me permission to make custom fish sprites.
You know what would be great? More variety of shiny fish. Like you can get a maybe rarer shiny of the current fish in the game and you can customize their prices, catch rate and others. Great mod. Hope to see more updates.
I love this mod so much!!! I have alternate textures for all my fish, so when I catch a shiny fish its actually the original stardew texture which is probably obvious. But I like it! And this works great with the visible fish mod which is a must for any playthrough. Thank you so much for making this. I would just make the default shiny rate a bit lower by default imo. Love it!!!!
Also major huge problem i ran into. I realized in the fishing events like the Squidfest when you catch shinies it doesnt count towards the festival total. I caught a total of 5 squids in one day and 2 of those 5 were shinies. So i only got 3 total for the event :( So yeah i feel like the shiny rate is too high because of that. I had to uninstall the mod for the fishing events. Anyways thats all have a nice day!! thank u for your work
Also also also, you know how theres a star next to the shiny fish's name when you hover your cursor over it? If you made that star a nice gold, bronze, or platinum color it would give the mod a more official feel you know>?
In 1.0.5 shiny squids no longer spawn during squid festival :) Also slightly decreased shiny rates overall. The star cant be changed, its in the in-game symbol for "=" or equals and not an image.
Hi! I think I just found a hiccup. I fished up some shiny roe (I've got about half a chest full of different types) and this is the first time I saw this. It says "(star)Strings\1_6_Strings:Goby_Name Roe". I've also been fishing for the goby fish and have about 5 or 6 of them but no shiny ones yet. I have the encounter rate set at the highest. I'll let you know if I catch one. Thanks!
To add on to what Comicguy68 said, since legendries can only be caught once; Does this mean that when you fish up your first legendary and its not shiny mean you cant find it? Or do they have separate caught conditions meaning you still have the chance to get a shiny legendary since you've only caught the base form? Anyways I really like this mod idea and was trying to think of a way a mod creator could do shinny's but you did something really unique!
Hi, thanks for the quick response! Something I noticed was that after I smoked the fish, it reset back to their normal variant. I know these are mostly for collecting but still I wanted to try and see what would happen. Anyways I thought you should know and possibly make a disclaimer
