Clarification:
My mod has nothing to do with the original birthday mod. It is completely different. I don't recommend having the original birthday mod if you use this mod.
- Is this compatible with the original Bday mod?
Technically yes. But the original Bday mod will break vanilla by itself.
Explanation: The original Bday overwrites dialogue, so any first dialogue you interact with the NPC (such as gifts, or conversation
topics) will be completely overwritten. This is not because of my mod.
- Differences between the original Bday mod?
There is no gift giving or letters by default. You can have birthdays on festival days, unlike the original birthday mod. This is a framework/tool lets modders do their own custom version using the GSQ. If you are a modder and want to add those features I will explain how to do it below.
What this mod does:
- Gives the player a birthday
- Lets modders easily do events and dialogue related to the birthday
- Doesn't overwrite NPC dialogue
How to use the mod for Modders only:
- You can use the conversation topic "boxosoup.birthday_birthday" Use the CTs for Vanilla for reference!
- the game state query is called "boxosoup.birthday_IS_BIRTHDAY"
Let's say you're a modder that wants to add a gift to their dialogue:
1. use the item token in your dialogue.
If you want to add the letter thing from the original birthday mod:
2. Use a trigger action "ondaystarted" with condition
For making a birthday event, you'd just use the same thing as any other condition.
You can read more about conversation topics and game state queries in the stardew wiki.

Instructions
How to use the mod for players only:
This doesn't work on multiplayer!
= When you load a new save, without your birthday register, a menu will pop up once you are in the game
- Simply click the month, and date, and click okay.
- If you want to change your birthday, then you can do F7 to bring up the menu, (changeable via config.json)
To summarize: just install and it'll work.
