Introducing, Mister Ginger!

With thanks to Legitest Namjoon Kim on Facebook's "Stardew Valley Hangout" for suggesting what became Mr. Ginger's 4-heart event. Mr. Ginger is modified from the ginger cat sprite in the core game. He has been recolored, made fluffier (slightly) and adjusted to fit the correct dimensions for characters.
Sets a quest when you receive the 6-heart letter, so it's easier to know what is going on.
General maintenance and refinement. (ie: Im sure I've done something else, but I forget)
Version 1.5.6
Improved the viewport of events for people with smaller monitors/higher zoom.
Various other tweaks and edits.
Version 1.5.5
Movie invitation should work now (he will still 'speak' if you invite him. Consider it your overactive imagination.
If you have NPC Exclusions installed he should not ask for anything on the Requests Board. Sorry, no more randomly wanting to wear a gold bar around his neck.
Version 1.5.4
Adds resort dialogue pre-6 hearts.
Version 1.5.3
Fixes a typo in the Chinese version
Adds resort dialogue (this time for real. I hope!)
Version 1.5.2
Removes Festival postions from TMXL and ports them to CP. Please report if any errors. (Note, for compatibility reasons, Mr Ginger no longer attends Spirit's Eve if SVE is installed).
Fixes a bug where the 8 heart event wouldn't trigger if you'd seen Shane's 6 heart scene.
Version 1.5.1
Fixes a tilesheet order issue.
Version 1.5.0
Reformatted for i18n translations. Let me know if any dialogue is weird.
Added compatibility with Marlon is Real
Version 1.4.5
Re-enables the 5-heart event if SVE is installed (sorry about that!)
Version 1.4.4
Minor update to fix the Russian translation.
Version 1.4.3
Fixed the sprites in the 2-heart event.
Version 1.4.2
Fixed typos that could've broken 6 and 8 heart events.
Added a new heart event with Shane (evening, forest, after his 6-heart event)
Version 1.4.1
Fixed scene-breaking typo in 8-heart event
Added Portugese and Chinese translations
Adjusted festival positions for SVE compatibility (not yet tested, please let me know if it errors)
Version 1.4.0
Few tweaks. SVE compatibility added for music in 5-heart scene. Minor adjustments to 5-heart event (being honest no longer punishes you and is now best option).
Added compatibility for upcoming mod.
Still not "dateable" and now won't be, at least not through Nexus. Sorry.
Added movie tastes. He loves salmon dinner. Not yet able to test them so let me know how they go.
Version 1.3.6
Fixes typo that caused Korean 6-heart Dialogue not to load
Version 1.3.5
Fixed typo that caused Mr Ginger not to load.
Version 1.3.4
Now translated into Russian AND Korean! Thanks to Ghost3lboom and Xdx4900. Please let me know if anything untoward occurs. Also added end dialogue to the 6-heart scene (translators, it's the Mon dialogue from 'Dialogue6').
Version 1.2.5
Fixes Mr Ginger's birthday - it is now Summer 20. Adds Russian Translation into the game. It should be automatic. Please let me know if anything unforeseen happens.
Version 1.1.5
Changes Tuesday behaviour to stop Mr Ginger getting stuck on beach bridge in some games. Added birthday specific dialogue: please note that it may cause some issues if other chars (ie: Custom NPCs) share the 20 Summer birthday. If any other characters start meowing, or his dialogue seems to not match the gift, please let me know!
Version 1.1.4
Really hope this time I have fixed the "Thu10" Question. Please let me know if it still crash-loops (and if it does, a Smapi log would be appreciated). If it does crash, please tell me what option you chose, thanks!
Version 1.1.3
Jas has a couple of lines where she acknowledges that he exists (they're seasonal specific, you may not see them very often, but one hints at V2 - They're on Mondays in fall at specific heart levels ). Improved grooming animation. That paw was getting too clean! Fixes (I hope!) the Thu 10 heart question that was locking the game. 8-heart and 10-heart scene now require you to see the 6-heart scene to trigger (if you have trouble triggering it, pls let me know!).
Version 1.0.3
Six-heart scene now compatible with SVE. Fixed a bug where Mr. Ginger would fail to appear for his 8-heart scene (Shane-still-a-drunk version, sober one was fine). Fixed his portrait where it showed the angry portrait instead of his "love" one.
Version 1.0.2
Hopefully fixes the bug that allows you to activate the 6-heart scene without having seen the previous 3 scenes but upon reaching 6 hearts. Fixed late at night, so if you have trouble initiating it, let me know. Also updated the manifest and removed the completely irrelevant spouse room that I'd accidently added to the TMX folder.
Version 1.0.1
Just adding an update key to the 'manifest'. No other changes.
Now should be compatible with 'Ran's Harvest Goddess'. Cat grooming animation has been slowed down. Update keys have been added.
He's a ginger cat that follows Jas around town, and pays visits to the other villagers. Some appreciate him, others do not. Like all good cats, he has numerous names.
Sometimes he may randomly talk. This is because certain dialogue (ie: the Dumpster Diving dialogue) is hard-coded and I cannot change it for one character without changing it for everyone (if anyone can advise me on this, I'd appreciate it). I guess just pretend you're hallucinating? Or maybe cats DO talk? Try becoming friends with him and see!
As you may have guessed, Mister Ginger is not your average house cat.
Designed in conjunction with my Immersive Marnie (and Jas expansion) mod. Both will run independently, but installing him as an actual character will increase the immersion (and mean he's more than just a character in a couple of cutscenes).
Note: Whilst I tried to stay fairly close to the canon of the core game, I have expanded somewhat on a number of the characters and the lore. This made lead to a few lore contradictions with other mods that also expand on these.
It has been tested with Karmylla's Immersive Maps and designed to be compatible. It has been partly tested with SVE, and should be compatible for the most part, but not necessarily for festivals. It is compatible with Ran's Harvest Goddess. Please let me know if you have any issues. This mod adds several custom sprites for Shane. If you are using a program that adjusts Shane's sprites (ie: DSVO) may result in a temporary mismatch or lead to invisible characters.
This is one of my first mods, so please let me know if you have any concerns or issues - or find any bugs or typos.
If you want to install Mr. Ginger but want a more anime-style aesthetic in your game, Baooduy has created a (very cute) alternative portrait.
