Version 1.1.0
Added config option for enabling a screenshot keyboard shortcut.
Added config option to choose what time the screenshot gets taken after.
Added config option for how often a screenshot gets taken.
Added option to change screenshot folder destination. Particularly useful for syncing screenshots to the Cloud.
Added the screenshot sound and notification that typically appears when the in-game button is pressed, for all screenshots taken.
Fixed bug where screenshots were not moved to farm folder successfully on Mac computers.
Version 1.0.4
Fixed bug where screenshots were not moved to farm folder successfully on Mac computers.
Version 1.0.3
Fixed bug where any save files with the same farm name would have their screenshots put into the same folder.
Fixed bug where mod failed to work in rare cases for certain machines.
Version 1.0.2
Fixed bug where some players' buildings were invisible in screenshots.
Fixed bug where players could not take screenshots in multiple save files without restarting the game each time.
Fixed bug where weather in screenshots was always clear, with actual in-game weather visible in upper-left hand corner. Now weather in screenshots always appears the same as it does in-game.
Added more update keys so that when the mod is updated, a more player-friendly website will show up as a link instead of GitHub.
Changed destination folder of screenshots to be StardewValley/Screenshots (which can be accessed in-game in the menu, at the bottom of the "Options" tab).
Made it so that if the player has a screenshot taken but then later restarts the day, another screenshot will be taken and will overwrite the old one.
No longer requires MapImageExport dependency.
Version 1.0.1
Added multiple screenshot folders, one per save file, so screenshots of different save files don't get mixed up.
Shortened mod description in manifest file so it is more likely to appear on one line in the terminal when the game is launched.
Bumped Map Image Export dependency version from 1.0.6 to 1.0.7.
Version 1.0.0
Added main feature of automatically taking a daily screenshot of player's entire farm when they first exit their house.
This is an example of what you can do with this mod. You can customize the quality and size (this example is a lower quality due to file size restrictions on the website used to host this image). By taking a daily screenshot, eventually you'll have enough images to create a GIF that shows your farm progress over time!
One screenshot is automatically taken of your entire farm every day as soon as you leave your house.
Choose what time the screenshot gets taken.
Choose how often a screenshot gets taken (daily, weekly, monthly, etc).
Screenshots are sent to your StardewValley/Screenshots folder, with each save file getting its own "FarmName-Screenshots" folder. Screenshots between multiple save files will not get mixed up.
Easily access the screenshots in-game by scrolling to the bottom of the "Options" tab in the menu and clicking the "Open Destination Folder" button.
Super easy to gather screenshots to create a GIF that shows how your farm changes over time! GIF makers can be found online, such as ezgif GIF maker.
Keeps the screenshots in the correct order to make creating the GIF easier. This is achieved by naming each screenshot with a "year-season-day.png" numerical format. For example, on Year 1, Winter, Day 3, the screenshot would be named "01-04-03.png".
Keyboard shortcut that takes a screenshot when pressed (set to "None" by default).
Can choose to disable automatic screenshots for rainy weather days (takes a screenshot every day regardless of weather by default).
