Stardew Valley Mod Update 2.1

[u/ProfMags]

Just wanted to let everyone know that the new Stardew Valley dual screen mod update is officially out now!

For this update, the main focus was on fixing a lot of bugs and improving overall stability. The mod is also now exclusive to the Dualscreen Launcher, so there is no longer any need to install or use the second app anymore. Everything is handled directly through the launcher now.

Because of this change, the updated dual screen mod can no longer be used through CinderBox, GameNative, or GameHub. You will need to use the Dualscreen Launcher to run the latest version.

SMAPI mod support is still fully available though, so you can continue using your other Stardew Valley mods alongside the dual screen mod.

If you are interested in checking out the new update, take a look at my post here!

Do steam achievements work?

[u/Mortiszy → u/Helloggs]

Probably not. Requires you to have the files downloaded outside of Steam to run through a dual-screen launcher. From what I understand anyway.

[u/Embarrassed-Mood-381]

Al no tener ciderbox pierdes mucha compatibilidad con mods solo para promocionar tu launcher

[u/IegaI]

Very cool. Does multiplayer work?

[u/ProfMags → u/IegaI]

Yes

[u/joeban1]

So the loss of gamenative etc. means no more steam save sync or steam playtime tracking with this method now?

[u/joeban1 → u/[deleted]]

Damn, no steam syncs a dealbreaker for me. Shame as it looks awesome. Nice work though

[u/Own_Contract_3421 → u/joeban1]

just use syncthing

[u/Bruhman316]

Thanks, but I think I’ll stick to the cinderbox

[u/ProfMags → u/Bruhman316]

By all means use what you prefer.

[u/Bruhman316 → u/ProfMags]

Tbh your Stardew Dualscreen is one of the best dual screen mods, but I prefer the compatibility of Cinderbox, and I like to launch games directly (and can set artwork per game) from the frontend home screen

[u/Beneficial-Tie2258]

Why on earth would you drop cinderbox support completely? Like I get doing it for the switch stuff because you needed a custom eden to get the dual screen stuff working properly but why can't you just check for a mod running on cinderbox like before?

[u/ProfMags → u/Beneficial-Tie2258]

I currently have 13 dual screen mods, and I really didn’t want to maintain a completely separate companion app for every single one of them. That’s one of the main reasons I moved everything toward a unified launcher.

Originally, some of my mods relied on sending data back and forth over a port, but that approach was pretty limiting in terms of what I could actually do. Because I have much bigger plans for these mods, especially Stardew Valley, I changed the architecture so they now work as direct game patches instead.

That also means the Stardew Valley mod is no longer a SMAPI mod, so even if I wanted to add CinderBox support, it wouldn’t really be compatible with the way the mod works now.

I have nothing against CinderBox at all. The old method just became too restrictive for what I want to build, especially with how far I want to take the Stardew Valley mod. Moving to game patches gives me a lot more control and flexibility while also letting every mod work through one unified launcher.

[u/TehRiddles]

Not tried the dualscreen launcher yet. Do I install Stardew through Gamenative first, add to the launcher and then boot it there?

[u/ProfMags → u/TehRiddles]

No you don't involve game native. You install your offline / downloaded copy of stardew valley then hit play

[u/TehRiddles → u/ProfMags]

So the Android version?

[u/ProfMags → u/TehRiddles]

No. You have to have a PC copy of it on your ayn Thor. Either by pirating or downloading your steam or GOG copy and uploading the zip into the launcher

[u/Slow_Chance_9374 → u/ProfMags]

Does it still run as well as with cinderbox though? And is there a way to export that to be used on a different front end?

[u/_solereaper]

is it possible to install mods?

[u/OkDefinition1038]

This is awesome :)

[u/Revolutionary-Car959]

That was a very seamless setup!

[u/Minak-Kru]

Awesome to see two great projects like these merge together! A one question, do steam achievements and cloud save work still?

[u/ChronieMewX]

Wanted to try playing with someone on the pc version, would I be able to use this online?

[u/ProfMags → u/ChronieMewX]

Local lan yes

[u/Optimal_Date_4310]

Do this works also on the android version or do i need to get steam version?

[u/ChronieMewX]

Just installed it and giving it a try :)

Any chance you can add the ability to create a home screen shortcut to games?

[u/Worried_Economics435]

By a focus of fixing bugs, do you mean writing more prompts to fix the AI's own bugs?

I can't imagine being a talentless hack like yourself. I'd probably jump off a bridge. Thankfully, I know how to write code myself and don't need to write prompts. :)

[u/joeban1 → u/Worried_Economics435]

Cringe.

Your careers cooked brother, AI does your job to a high level. hope you can imagine that!

[u/pH_low → u/joeban1]

It’s a troll account, couple hours old account

Imagine being so mentally weak you need to
1. Create a burner account
2. Find this post again
3. Try to make yourself seem like a developer

(Worried_economics, I am also a dev, I recommend you learn how to write those prompts otherwise a NCG that can write prompts will take your place lol)
