A content pack for Fashion Sense (FS) allows mod authors to create shirts with the following benefits:

• Can be larger than 16x32 pixels
• Can be animated
• Can override the player's shirt color

Fashion Sense content packs are compatible with other FS packs, meaning you can have as many Fashion Sense shirts as you'd like!

1. Create a parent folder with the content pack's name.

2. Create and fill in manifest.json as a content pack.

3. Create a Shirts folder, add it under the content pack's main folder.

4. Create a sub-folder under Shirts with the name of the shirt

   a. The name of the folder(s) under Shirts do not matter.

5. Create a shirt.json under the created sub-folder, using the required fields found here.

6. Create a shirt.png under the same sub-folder.

   a. The image size doesn't matter, so long as it is under 16384x16384 pixels (though smaller files are preferred to reduce memory usage).

A Fashion Sense content pack consists of the following structure:

[FS] Example Pack
├── manifest.json
│
└── Shirts
    ├── Blinky
    │   ├── shirt.json
    │   └── shirt.png
    │
    ├── ColorableSmiley
    │   ├── shirt.json
    │   └── shirt.png
    │
    └── MageRobe
        ├── shirt.json
        └── shirt.png

If this is your first time creating a content pack, it may be useful to read the Stardew Valley Wiki for creating a content pack.

The first step to making your content pack is to create a top level folder with the name of your content pack. For example: [FS] Example Pack.

After that, you'll want to create the manifest.json file under that folder. Detailed instructions can be found on the Stardew Valley Wiki. Additionally, you can check out the example manifest.json as a reference.

For example:

[FS] Example Pack
└──  manifest.json

It is important to note that the manifest.json file must contain the following for it to be a content pack by Fashion Sense:

"ContentPackFor": {
    "UniqueID": "PeacefulEnd.FashionSense",
    "MinimumVersion": "USE.LATEST.VERSION"
}

Note: Replace "MinimumVersion": "USE.LATEST.VERSION" with the latest version number of Fashion Sense found here.

You will first need to create a Shirts folder underneath your main content pack folder.

After creating the Shirts folder you'll want to create a sub-folder for every shirt you want to add, like so:

.
└── Shirts
    ├── Blinky
    │
    ├── ColorableSmiley
    │
    └── MageRobe

You can also have sub-folders under the Shirts folder for organizing, like so:

.
└── Shirts
    ├── Animated or Colorable
    │   ├── Blinky
    │   └── ColorableSmiley
    │
    └── Prismatic
        └── MageRobe

To add a shirt to your content pack, the framework requires a shirt.json under each sub-folder of Shirts.

For example:

.
└── Shirts
    ├── Blinky
    │   ├── shirt.json
    │   └── shirt.png
    │
    ├── ColorableSmiley
    │   ├── shirt.json
    │   └── shirt.png
    │
    └── MageRobe
        ├── shirt.json
        └── shirt.png

The file shirt.json determines how the shirt is to be applied and allows the usage of certain conditions for animation.

An overview of the required properties for shirt.json:

1. At least one ShirtModel(FrontShirt, BackShirt, etc.) must be given for the shirt to be valid.

   a. Note that ShirtModel have their own required properties, as can be seen here.
   

This is a simple shirt.json, which adds a static (non-animated) shirt that only applies while the player is facing forward.

{
  "Name": "Colorable Smiley",
  "FrontShirt": {
    "ColorMasks": [
      [ 254, 254, 254 ],
      [ 198, 198, 198 ]
    ],
    "StartingPosition": {
      "X": 0,
      "Y": 0
    },
    "BodyPosition": {
      "X": 0,
      "Y": 0
    },
    "ShirtSize": {
      "Width": 8,
      "Length": 8
    }
  }
}

The StartingPosition property is used to determine where the starting point is (top-left most pixel for the ShirtModel).

The BodyPosition property is used to tell the framework where the player's head would be in relation to the shirt. See the Mage's Robe for another example.

Note: It is important to know that each ShirtModel added (FrontShirt, BackShirt, etc.) must have a StartingPosition, BodyPosition and ShirtSize, as the framework uses those properties to display the shirt.

The corresponding shirt.png

The layout requirements for shirt.png is fairly relaxed, as the framework utilizes StartingPosition, BodyPosition and ShirtSize to determine where the shirt sprites are located.

See the example pack for references on how to create your shirts.

This is an animated shirt.json, which adds a shirt with an idle animation and only applies while the player is facing forward.

    },
    "ShirtSize": {

    }
  }
}

You can see IdleAnimation was specified with 4 frames. As the name implies, IdleAnimation only play while the player is not moving.

To play an animation only while the player is moving, you would instead utilize MovementAnimation. For more details see the animations page.

Conditions can also be used to determine which frames are played. See the conditions page for more details.

The corresponding shirt.png

The layout requirements for animated shirt.png is fairly relaxed, as it only requires the following condition(s):

• For ShirtModel with animation, each frame of the shirt should be placed next to each other horizontally (as seen in the example above).

See the example pack for references on how to create your shirts.
