CP2AT

About

A tool for converting Stardew Valley Mods from the Content Patcher framework to the Alternative Textures framework. For more information on the Content Patcher framework, see here. For more information on the Alternative Textures framework, see here.

This script relies on comparing the asset provided by the mod to the vanilla asset from the game. All vanilla Stardew Valley assets can be unpacked from the game using StardewXnbHack, and belong to ConcernedApe.

Features

Currently, this script supports the conversion of:

1. TileSheets/Craftables.png
2. Fences
3. TileSheets/Furniture.png
4. Farm Buildings
5. Fruit Trees & Trees
6. Animals

Usage

For a better guide (with screenshots!) on how to install Python and run a Python script from command line, see Elizabeth's guides for Windows here and Mac here

Basic Instructions

1. Install Python between versions 3.8 and 3.10 (see the download page for Python 3.8 here).
2. Install the Python requirements
   • NOTE: For this converter, you can run pip install -r requirements.txt, but for issues, the required packages are json5, pillow, and numpy.
3. Download and extract the latest GitHub release.
4. Place the entire mod folder into CP2AT/ folder so the folders look like this:

CP2AT/
├─ MOD_FOLDER_NAME/
│  ├─ assets/
│  ├─ manifest.json
│  ├─ content.json

4. Change the config.json to indicate the name of your mod folder (e.g. [CP] YourModHere) and any keywords that you wish to include.

{
    "mod_folder_path": "[CP] Mi's and Magimatica Country Furniture",
    "keywords": ["furniture", "Mi's and Magimatica"] 
}

5. Open a Command Prompt or Terminal window in the CP2AT folder.
   1. For Windows, open the folder in your file browser and type cmd into the address bar at the top.
   2. For Mac/Linux, right click and select "Open folder in Terminal"
6. Execute the main.py script by typing py main.py (or if that doesn't work, python main.py or python3 main.py) into the terminal and then pushing the Enter key.
7. Find your textures in the new [AT] folder!

Known Issues

• Furniture conversion will not fully work if the CP's content.json changes more than one row of furniture sprites at a time. Will maybe be fixed in future update.
• • Craftables conversions will also not fully work in the same scenario. Will work on this.
• furnitureFront conversion is not currently thoroughly tested, please check those textures carefully after the script is done.

To-Do:

• Extend script to function for springobjects, etc.
• Add argument flags for indicating Object Type when no content.json is available to scrape from (e.g. XNB conversions or PNGs from Naver)
