Installation

1. Install the latest version of SMAPI.
2. Download Transparency Settings from the Releases page on GitHub, Nexus Mods, or ModDrop.
3. Unzip Transparency Settings into the Stardew Valley\Mods folder.

Settings

Transparency Settings includes settings that control the distance and conditions for each object type to become transparent. It also includes customizable key bindings for some transparency toggle buttons. GMCM is recommended for easier customization (see below).

To edit these settings:

1. Run the game using SMAPI. This will generate the mod's config.json file in the Stardew Valley\Mods\TransparencySettings folder.
2. Exit the game and open the config.json file with any text editing program.

This mod also supports spacechase0's Generic Mod Config Menu (GMCM). Players with that mod will be able to change the settings with in-game menus.

Object Type Settings

These settings customize the behavior of each object type that can become transparent.

Note: Some objects can't be made transparent by this mod. Non-interactive objects "drawn" directly on the in-game maps, like town buildings or some trees/bushes, won't be affected.

Name	Valid settings	Description
Enable	true or false	If true, these objects will use your custom transparency settings. If false, they will use Stardew's default transparency system.
BelowPlayerOnly	true or false	If true, these objects will only be transparent when they are "below" the player's vertical position.
TileDistance	Any integer, e.g. 5	These objects will be transparent while the player is within this number of tiles. Setting this to a negative number will disable transparency completely (e.g. "TileDistance": -1).
MinimumOpacity	A decimal from 0 to 1, e.g. 0.4	This is how transparent objects can be. 0 is completely transparent, and 1 is completely visible.

Key Bindings

These settings allows players to customize the key bindings for this mod's transparency toggle buttons.

These settings use SMAPI's Multi-key bindings system. For more information about valid button names, refer to the wiki's Key Bindings page.

Name	Default binding	Description
DisableTransparency	None	Disables all custom transparency, reverting to Stardew's default system. Press it again to re-enable your custom settings.
FullTransparency	None	Enables maximum transparency, making all valid object types transparent regardless of distance. Press it again to re-enable your custom settings.

Translation

This mod supports translation of its Generic Mod Config Menu (GMCM) setting names and descriptions.

The mod will load a file from the TransparencySettings/i18n folder that matches the current language code. If no matching translation exists, it will use default.json.

See the Stardew Valley Wiki's Modding:Translations page for more information. Please feel free to submit translation files through GitHub, Nexus Mods, ModDrop, or Discord.
