Hey I love this mod, but is there a way to reduce the frequency of mail? it's rather a lot to be getting so much every day. Also I think some of the messages may need proof read as some of them are filled with loads of exclamation marks which makes some of the characters sound insane
It would still make sense to have someone proof read your mod, I'd be happy to do so if you wanted or you can go to the Stardew discord and ask for some input. I have kids myself so I could help you with the kid's letters.
MFM has the ability to pick dates for mail so I assume you could change the frequency of the mail by selecting dates for the letters. I think you can also make letters depend on friendship amounts.
Not pressuring you to do either, since it would require a fair amount of rewriting this mod, but I figured I would point that out in case you want to alter it (or create a new MFM mod) in the future.
I believe the current version of the mod is not working because the mail.json is still outside of the appropriate folder. The fix is to drop it in the [MFM] Folder and it seems to work.
I am also getting the following errors in my SMAPI log:
[table]20:16:10WARNMail Framework ModNo object found with the name Panda Hat for letter RobinCard08.20:16:11WARNMail Framework ModNo object found with the name Omni geode for letter ClintCard02.20:16:11WARNMail Framework ModAn index value is required to attach an object for letter ClintCard02.20:16:11WARNMail Framework Mod[/table]
I suspect the solution will be to edit the item numbers (749 for omni-geode) for that one at least. I'm not sure about the panda hat.
It's a problem with the "Oil of Garlic" item. I figured out how to fix this by changing the item to something else in the mail.json file. Find the spot in the file for "DwarfCard02" and change it to this; "Id": "DwarfCard02", "Text": " Hi @!^^Glad you find refuse in my lair, away from the shadow people who live down below. Mix these vials with 10 garlic so they run from you ^^^- Dwarf", "Attachments": [ { "Type": "Object", "Name": "Oil", "Index": "247", "Stack": 15 }, ],
You won't get the Oil of Garlic item unfortunately but it will fix the problem by giving you 15 oil. You can actually change this to anything you want so long as you know the item Type, i.e. in this example 'Object'.
So I keep getting a bunch of yellow text when I load in my save and all it says is: [Mail Framework Mod] No object found with the name Panda Hat for letter RobinCard08. [Mail Framework Mod] No object found with the name Oil of Garlic for letter DwarfCard02. [Mail Framework Mod] No object found with the name Omni geode for letter ClintCard02. [Mail Framework Mod] An index value is required to attach an object for letter ClintCard02. [Mail Framework Mod] No object found with the name Actifact Trove for letter ClintCard03.
and I think it has something to do with the type of those specific items but I don't know the exact item types to change that myself.
Edit: So I fixed the spelling errors in Clint's letter's and now they work just fine. I think for the Dwarf and Robin that the Mail framework mod might not support it?
You might want to update the manifest - it points to the mod you based this mod from (the Portuguese one), and thus SMAPI thinks this mod needs updating when it clearly does not.
First time figuring out how to mod. Some of the mods are working but most are not, this was one of them. The error it gave me says: "More Gifts - Version 1.1 (Fixes)-8837-1-1-1634327044 because it contains files, but none of them are manifest.json." I looked into the folder and there was a single file that says manifest.json, but apparently that doesn't work and I don't really know what a .json file is. Is there an easy fix or should I just try and reinstall the mod?
(I figured it would just be easier for me to copy and paste the message since there's a lot of red that I'm slowly going through and it'd be easier for everyone if I did that.)
Disclaimer, I have the same problem, but I will help you how to ask for help in a better way. When you have a error message you should post the error log in here. You do that with the help of the smapi log parser. Here ist the link: https://smapi.io/log When you visit the side it pretty much tells you what to do and where to find your error log. It will also help you to finde the problem youselfe in some cases, because it will decode the whole thing and write it down relatively neat. After that you can sent a link with the log safed in it for other to open. And because I have the same problem I will post mine here so you can see what I mean. Hope it helps for your future porblems. https://smapi.io/log/3ab0fd5aeb4b4480ac4d3d6dae94100f
hey I just found out how to fix it, the mod author apparently made a small mistake: When you unpack the .zip file you get a folder with "[MFM] Gifts from friends" and "mail.json" in it. you need to put the "mail.json" in the "[MFM] Gifts from friends" folder. The "[MFM] Gifts from friends" (now containing "mail.json" and "manifest.json") should than be copied into your Mods folder This worked for me. at least the error messages are gone.
This is strange because the ZIP file I submitted to the site, the folder had mail.json in it! And yes, please put the mail.json in the folder, it is important!
Just downloaded it myself, the Mail.json is definitely outside of the folder in the manual download .zip. Can you resubmit? I doubt most people figure this out.
