right

[mellow crag]

While composite hands is a really fun mod to make, I am trying to figure out some kinks about it

Feder what?

XD

[frosty dock]

can I at least make the case of the function names consistent?

[mellow crag]

I have only 5 projects

[random sleet]

meanwhile you have like twelve projects

man i really wish that it wasnt so difficult to set up a "Select and Use" button for oddities in packs...

like how you can Buy & Use consumables in shop

[frosty dock]

huh, I guess there's only one or the other in vanilla packs

[random sleet]

but that's special-cased for cards in shop

yeah; since you Select most oddities, i dont want it to not be an option to Select ones that could be Used (think the case of the dollar bill oddities, which are always usable)

oh and then controller stuff. groan.

i did get controller stuff working in oddity packs tho :)))

[mellow crag]

Oh that’s good

[random sleet]

turns out theres a separate function to hook/inject to for controller related stuff for card buttons, its not just use_and_sell_buttons

i think its card_focus_ui but i forgor if thats right

you might need to do similar for Fuse

(and alchemy packs, actually)

[frosty dock]

tbh I might still just port it and decide later if I should use it, idk

[random sleet]

i actually forget if the oddityapi i sent you has a card_focus_ui hook, or if i did that later; might be worth checking out

[frosty dock]

btw what exactly was jank about seals again?

I forgor

[random sleet]

uhhhh loading yhem at all

they had a nil prefix and :lower()'d the mod prefix even if it should have uppercase letters

and you cant have multiple underscores in a seal iirc

[frosty dock]

kk

[mellow crag]

I am not sure too, wanna send me an updated version anyways?

[random sleet]

sry im at work

i think itd be in the toml

[regal shoal]

In 1.0 when you add a Suit it's added to all Decks ? How to not to ?

[frosty dock]

I should add API support for that tbh

[regal shoal]

Oh ok !

Take you time ❤️ don't want to add delay

[frosty dock]

as of now you would have to modify Back:apply_to_run() to accomplish this, but it's a good thing to have as part of the API

iirc feder's musical suit did this on 0.x

[regal shoal]

Ty !

Is it the same for Ranks ?

[frosty dock]

yep

[mellow crag]

Yeah I ended the poll cause the results are clear, time to port fusion jokers!

[random sleet]

i cant recommend the way this is implemented, it can cause crashes

i had implemented a hook for Game:start_run in dankranks to remove its ranks from the starting deck; when i get home i can grab that code

(note that standard packs and other random card generation effects still will create those cards)

[random sleet]

(the crash occurs if the suit/rank that is removed in this way appears during the loading animation at any time during the play session, then the deck preview popup will crash)

it might be possible to just patch the loading screen cards to omit your cards im not sure

oh yeah... that reminds me
i wonder if an "omit_from_pool" function for centers would be a good addition to smods...

[crisp coral]

remove from specific pools?

[random sleet]

like instead of doing my jank yes_pool_flag's that update every frame, the 🧻 could have a function that checks "hey do you have any 2s in your deck" and if it's rolled for create_card but fails this function, the card is rerolled

or however that pool stuff works i dont really understand it 100%

[zealous glen]

Idk how the pool stuff works but couldn’t you only turn it on and off when relevant?

[random sleet]

i could probably not run it every frame yeah lol

[zealous glen]

The game turns off cards as they’re added to the deck

And then turn them on when they’re removed

[random sleet]

yeah i could probably just update it on add/remove

but thats not the point

this could be arbitrary mid-run-unlock conditions

[zealous glen]

If it’s arbitrary then the only common point is right before they’re generated

[random sleet]

groan no i mean doing it as a function of the center

[zealous glen]

Otherwise each object ought to have its own flag switcher at the appropriate time

[random sleet]

oh yknow what, the pool flag stuff is already checked for every center in the pool right? its probably not that hard to shunt a function call in there

i really oughta learn how to use github

so i can actually add stuff to smods instead of pestering aure :(

[zealous glen]

You could send git commits like they did before GitHub was invented

By email

[random sleet]

i mean ive sent a lot of stuff to aure in dms here lol

[zealous glen]

That works too

I just forgot the name of the command that generates the thing that people used to use before GitHub

[random sleet]

but im sure they'd rather the brunt of implementation wasnt all on them

[zealous glen]

“Here’s an unsuspicious zip file, aure”

[random sleet]

@frosty dock thoughts on this?

[mellow crag]

What am I missing?

[gaunt thistle]

morning chat

[mellow crag]

Morning

[frosty dock]

sounds better

[random sleet]

sound like a good add to smods?

[random sleet]

?

[mellow crag]

What were you guys talking about?

[zealous glen]

Morning

[random sleet]

uhhhh a function to omit centers from pools

similar to how yes/no_pool_flag and enhancement_gate work but as a function that can have arbitrary requirements

[mellow crag]

Oh I see

[random sleet]

because some cards would want like... suit_gate, rank_gate, seal_gate, etc... this would be a "silver bullet" solution to that problem

rather than just adding tons of flag checks it could just be a function for the api user to determine a valid check

[wintry solar]

Time to get badges working with my editions I suppose

[mellow crag]

@shell timber Don’t you wanna begin porting morefluff to 1.0 before it comes out?

[shell timber]

it is not finalised and also exams

[mellow crag]

I see

[random sleet]

😂

[mellow crag]

Just FYI, there are a ton of cool things about 1.0 that you could take advantage of

[random sleet]

let 'em take their time, no need to strongarm people into updating

[mellow crag]

True

[wintry solar]

a label that works 😄

now to figure out how to get the mod label on these too

🤔

[zealous glen]

Is this 1.0 or 0.9.8?

[wintry solar]

0.9.8 atm

[zealous glen]

I want to see how you did it because I was having issues making Edition badges show up

[wintry solar]

    G.localization.misc.labels[self.slug:sub(3)] = self.name

[zealous glen]

I can make cards show the Consumable tooltip (and display a badge) but not a new custom one

[wooden nexus]

Lemme know if 1.0 is out

[wintry solar]

how do you define your edition?

[zealous glen]

What’s this wizardry

[zealous glen]

It’s the built-in Negative edition

I just apply it to cards

[wintry solar]

I'm building it as an API

[zealous glen]

yeah but Idk what self.slug:sub(3) is

[wintry solar]

oh that's just grabbing the name of the edition to throw it in the table

so like, greyscale in the picture above

have you looked at how negative consumables are handled? I know there's some wizardry in the code aorund those

[zealous glen]

Yes, I made a lovely patch that’s supposed to do the same but with my custom tooltip, except it doesn’t work

Again I can make them display the Negative Consumable tooltip instead of the vanilla Negative Joker tooltip

Because if you make a card Negative that’s what naturally appears

(the Negative Joker tooltip)

[wintry solar]

hmmm

[crisp coral]

i should release mystblinds for 1.0.0

[wintry solar]

I'm currently trying to get the tooltip to show properly so will get back to you when I've figured it out

[zealous glen]

I could maybe help but I’m not home to check my code

[crisp coral]

oh my fucking god

aure did you mess with blinds' loc_def

[zealous glen]

Me yesterday looking at MystBlind to learn how to make a Blind:

[frosty dock]

I-

I don't think so?

Was it working before?

[crisp coral]

yes

[frosty dock]

when

[crisp coral]

before the so called loader improvements

[shell timber]

this is why i have not touched 1.0

[frosty dock]

hm okay

but blind atlases were broken before, I'm pretty sure

it was more recently that I actually fixed that, though I'm fairly sure I didn't touch loc_def

but I'll check

[crisp coral]

huh

this is noir not The Club

[frosty dock]

hm

odd

more jank for me to fix

[crisp coral]

might've missed a function

[frosty dock]

there's a patch for that one, but I may have forgotten to change something I changed elsewhere

[crisp coral]

aure ;sob:

also blinds' defeat() function isn't being called

[frosty dock]

I-- what??

[royal ether]

good morning chat (it is midnight)

[frosty dock]

good midnight

(it's 5pm)

Got a joker idea again, -The Eraser: The first card that is played is transformed into a wild card

[zealous glen]

Could be interesting with Wildheart

☝️

[worldly sapphire]

Really cool ngl

[mellow crag]

Clodsire!

[worldly sapphire]

I'm currently working in a mini joker collection that has 21 jokers

[zealous glen]

https://tenor.com/view/clod-steven-universe-peridot-gif-5686790

[worldly sapphire]

I already have 3 done

[mellow crag]

mini joker collection

[zealous glen]

I intend to release my small mod with 10 Jokers

[mellow crag]

has 21 jokers

that a lot

[worldly sapphire]

Yeah

Lmao

[mellow crag]

Codex only has like 9

[zealous glen]

Maybe they’re small jokers

Like wee sized

[mellow crag]

(1 coming out in 1.2 when steamodded 1.0 comes out)

[worldly sapphire]

little

[mellow crag]

little leauge jokers

[zealous glen]

babu goo goo dada jokers

[zealous glen]

I think I’ll release the beta later today for testing finally

[worldly sapphire]

Baby joker: gives X-900 mult when a queen is played

[zealous glen]

I’ve been sitting on it for weeks

[mellow crag]

yesssssssssssssss

[zealous glen]

Oh but it does need Oddity API for the moment

Is that available for download?

[mellow crag]

no

but i have a version of it

[worldly sapphire]

• E (joker): Gives E

[zealous glen]

L Joker: Gives L

[worldly sapphire]

U joker: Gives U

[mellow crag]

wait the 1.0 version needs it?

[worldly sapphire]

Alphabet Joker: Creates the entire alphabet into your deck

[zealous glen]

Does the what need what

[mellow crag]

does the 1.0 version of your mod need oddity API

[zealous glen]

I don’t have a 1.0 version

I’ll port it when I have mods to reference

[wintry solar]

well that's not right

[wintry solar]

\o/ thanks lovely

[shell timber]

woah

is that meant to be the actual edition

[mellow crag]

oh that;s super neat

[frosty dock]

I can't find any issues with defeat

[crisp coral]

tf

[wintry solar]

no it was just for testing purposes

[wooden nexus]

Shader? Yea. Effect, nah

[frosty dock]

i just tried with reducing hand size by 5 and it definitely happened

[wintry solar]

they currently work for any combination of +mult, + chips and XMult

[crisp coral]

???

unless i'm being dumb again?

[frosty dock]

what is the blind table this is on and what are you doing with it? it works on my end passing it directly to the constructor

the issue with loc_def was dumb btw, I somehow swapped it for def

[crisp coral]

here's the thingy
https://github.com/Mysthaps/BalatroMods/tree/main/Steamodded/MystBlinds

i just updated it with the 1.0.0 code

[frosty dock]

new commit should fix loc_def and sprite jank

[leaden belfry]

is there a way to view full crash log? it is cut on window edge

[frosty dock]

0.9.8? use the debug window. 1.0.0? you can scroll

[leaden belfry]

what's debug window

[bold osprey]

a python script that serves as a debugger

[frosty dock]

In Steamodded files, there's a python file tk_debug_window.py

logs are forwarded to it if it's running

[bold osprey]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/tree/main/debug

[leaden belfry]

How do I use it? it exit instantly on run

[gilded blaze]

is it possible to make a localization mod for an entire new language

[worldly sapphire]

is there a way i can make a joker recognize the first card played and get it turned into a wild card?

[maiden phoenix]

It's possible, check of Midas' mask does it

[zealous glen]

I just run the tk debug script with Python

[worldly sapphire]

but one thing i'm getting angry at is the fact that i can't find a way to make only the first card the triggered

[zealous glen]

You can check if the current card is equal to the first card in the scoring hand

I think that would work

Otherwise look at how Photograph works

[maiden phoenix]

Instead of looping just change to context.whatever_hand[1]

[frosty dock]

yeah, with 1.0 at least

[worldly sapphire]

i hate this error

[gilded blaze]

oops, I'll have to wait then

rn I only have the modified m6x11plus that fully supports Vietnamese

[edgy reef]

Missing an exclusion of context.repetition somewhere

[worldly sapphire]

do i need a context.repetition?

[edgy reef]

Some specific contexts (context.individual, context.cardarea == G.hand and context.end_of_round) also run through context.repetition, which had a different return.

So whatever joker is causing this would need something like and not context.repetition

[worldly sapphire]

like, i play i card and the game crashes still

idk why

time to figure it out i guess

[edgy reef]

What exactly is this joker supposed to do?

[worldly sapphire]

turn the first played card into a wild card

[maiden phoenix]

check if context.scoring_hand exists too

Oh wait this doesn't have a proper main context too

[worldly sapphire]

i just put it in there

[maiden phoenix]

When's the transformation supposed to happen?

[worldly sapphire]

after the card is played

like midas mask

[maiden phoenix]

Doesn't midas does it before?

[worldly sapphire]

oh yeah

mb

[maiden phoenix]

Check jokers that use context.after

[worldly sapphire]

i said it wrong

[maiden phoenix]

I think there's something before context.after but I dont remember

[worldly sapphire]

i want the card to be transformed before its played

[maiden phoenix]

Then put the same context than Midas' mask use

[worldly sapphire]

i deleted every effect step and he is crashing

i just wanted to test

oh my god

i hate myself

[worldly sapphire]

i don't know what is causing this

[worldly sapphire]

i'm using midas mask code

and i still get this error 0_0

[maiden phoenix]

Did you just add Midas Mask code or also the contexts that are above it?

[worldly sapphire]

yes

but i don't think i need to put blueprint

because it crashes like repetition

btw here are the sprites of the joker i'm trying to make :p

[zealous glen]

I think the issue is with the keys that context.scoring_hand has compared to what you are expecting. I think you're missing some context too to ensure that context.scoring_hand has the necessary information.

Maybe try for i=1,#context.scoring_hand and then access cards with context.scoring_hand[i] (or is it context.scoring_hand.cards?)

Artwork for Syzygy.

[worldly sapphire]

ITS TRYING TO CALL A TABLE VALUE IN THIS LINE

i'm losing my

mind

[zealous glen]

That's not valid Lua syntax AFAIK

[wintry solar]

Don’t you need to do ipairs(context.scoring_hand)?

[worldly sapphire]

with the ipairs

[wintry solar]

What does that line look like?

[worldly sapphire]

for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do if context.scoring_hand[i]:is_face() then faces = true end end

[zealous glen]

You're missing some context that ensures scoring_hand exists

it could be if context.scoring_hand then

[wintry solar]

Have you shared the whole block of code earlier?

[worldly sapphire]

nope

but its working

now

    if context.scoring_hand then
    if self.ability.name == 'The Eraser' and not context.repetition then
        local faces = {}
        for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
            if context.scoring_hand[i]:is_face() then end
        end
        for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
            if v:is_face() then 
                faces[#faces+1] = v
                v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_wild, nil, true)
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        v:juice_up()
                        return true
                    end
                })) 
            end
        end
        if #faces > 0 then 
            return {
                message = localize('k_gold'),
                colour = G.C.MONEY,
                card = self
            }
        end
    end
    end
end```

the joker changes the card into a wild card then it just tries to turn the entire hand into a wild card aswell, but it fails

[wintry solar]

You have redundant stuff in there

[worldly sapphire]

sorry, i'm still new to modding this game

[wintry solar]

This isn’t doing anything

[worldly sapphire]

and i need to say sorry if i ask too much

[wintry solar]

So does it turn everything into a wild card?

[worldly sapphire]

just the played card

it says the message for the cards in hand but they are not affected

[wintry solar]

And just face cards?

[worldly sapphire]

yes

i still need to make this joker turn the first card in any hand get turned into a wild card

[wintry solar]

I haven’t done any joker stuff myself yet, but don’t you just need to break out after you find the first face card?

[worldly sapphire]

but i don't want to make it turn only face cards

[wintry solar]

And context.scoring_hand just contains the cards in the hand right?

[worldly sapphire]

    if self.ability.name == 'The Eraser' and not context.repetition then
        if context.scoring_hand then
        local faces = {}
        for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
            if context.scoring_hand[i]:is_face() then face = false end
        end
        for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
            if v:is_face() then 
                faces[#faces+0] = v
                v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_wild, nil, true)
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        v:juice_up()
                        return true
                    end
                })) 
            end
        end
        if #faces > 0 then 
            return {
                message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                colour = G.C.BLUE,
                card = self,
            }
        end
    end
    end
end```

idk what is causing it to make every card trigger

[zealous glen]

The return I think

[worldly sapphire]

if its false, the game softlocks

same if i delete the return

[zealous glen]

you can return nil

[worldly sapphire]

still softlocks

[zealous glen]

Maybe it's because it's missing some context? Idk why it would softlock

[edgy reef]

This isn't checking for any specific context other than excluding context.repetition, try adding and context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.before.

[worldly sapphire]

well

it worked now

[crystal cloud]

hey do any of you smart lads have any fkn idea on how to check when a lucky card is triggered, ive tried using both context.other_card.lucky_trigger and if self.lucky_trigger then how ever nothing i do seems to work, this is my code rn if anyone is curious

luckyjoker.calculate = function(self, context)
    if context.individual then
        if context.cardarea == G.play then
            if context.other_card.lucky_trigger == true and not context.blueprint then
                return {
                    message = localize('k_plus_joker'),
                    colour = G.C.RED
                }
            end
        end
    end
end

[frosty dock]

it might be that your function isn't actually getting run? In 0.9.8, you need to it be defined on SMODS.Jokers.j_yourslug after registering

[zealous glen]

Have you checked how Lucky Cat does it?

[crystal cloud]

yea im usin 1.0.0 since makin jokers for cryptid, this is how i called another one i made and that one works

[zealous glen]

@stiff leaf Here's Syzygy in action.

[crystal cloud]

yup uses context.other_card.lucky_trigger, and even when copyin the same structure still doesnt want to work

[frosty dock]

oh my bad then, I just assumed that since you didn't just shove it on the constructor

[zealous glen]

Did you see if there's an implied (negative) context in thunk's if-elseif Tower of Babel?

[frosty dock]

isn't it just joker_main

[stiff leaf]

niceeee

no glitches with using 6 planets? also how does bp/bs compatibility work (and duplicates of the joker ig)?

[zealous glen]

What do you mean 6 planets?

Also no BP or BS because it's redundant

Nothing to balance once it's rebalanced

[remote coral]

It probably stops searching after it’s active

[stiff leaf]

You see, I dont think that far ahead

[crystal cloud]

not that i can see, this seems to be the entire code for it

[zealous glen]

More importantly, it doesn't count doubles

There's probably a better way to do it but I was too tired to think when I wrote this

self.ability.extra.syzygy tracks when it's active or not; it's not necessary, but I wanted to have it

Hence not … syzygy ensures it only activates this part when it has less than 3 different Planets

[zealous glen]

Again, the elseif at the start implies all previous contexts don't apply

One of them could be relevant

[zealous glen]

try adding and not context.end_of_round

[crystal cloud]

yea still nothin haha

[zealous glen]

Are your Lucky Cards triggering?

[crystal cloud]

yup

[zealous glen]

Try printing lucky_trigger both in calculate_joker and maybe when the Lucky Cards proc

[narrow pollen]

yeah, using sendDebugMessage() to track where your code is going helps

[manic nest]

I see i = 1 a lot what does that represent?

[zealous glen]

That’s assigning i the value of 1 but you’re probably seeing it in for loops where that is the start of the loop instead

[manic nest]

So what is i specifically?

[wintry solar]

it's just a value that iterates

generally it's used to iterate over a table

[manic nest]

alright cool

Super important that i feel like i need to understand i see cardarea == g.play a lot

can you break down what that does

Card area and g.play i see a lot

[worldly sapphire]

ok, now that my joker activates only when i play face cards, how do i make him affect other cards, and especifically the first one

[worldly sapphire]

and sorry again for asking too much

[zealous glen]

The game has CardArea objects to hold Card objects. context.cardarea is a variable in the context array that’s supposed to be a CardArea, and many Jokers check to see if the specific CardArea is the CardArea of played cards

[zealous glen]

Remove the check for Face cards

[worldly sapphire]

the face ones?

?

this ones

[zealous glen]

Presumably

[manic nest]

Where would you find the contexts for all of these functions? Is it in like the base game code?

For example context.scoring_hand how are do people know scoring_hand is what you need to type out

[zealous glen]

You can find them implicitly in thunk’s if-elseif Tower of Babel, or looking for a specific context key and seeing where it’s called

[manic nest]

where is the Tower of Babel

[zealous glen]

Usually you can find it by searching most Joker names, but it’s calculate_joker in cards.lua, I think?

[wintry swallow]

good ol if else

I couldn’t find a GIF of Bart’s internal monologue but image that

[edgy reef]

CTRL F the joker name and 99% of the time you can find the logic for it.

[manic nest]

What function do you think id use for the joker to search for a specific hand played like .context.played_hand? Or is there another key for that

[worldly sapphire]

i tried alot

and still no way to make the cards i play get affected

[zealous glen]

What do you mean?

[worldly sapphire]

its just crash frustration

[zealous glen]

FYI that self:set_ability is trying to make the Joker Wild instead of the card

Because the Joker is the self

[worldly sapphire]

yeah i did put a note

saying that this happens

[zealous glen]

I said set_ability not juice_up

[worldly sapphire]

oh

[zealous glen]

You want to call it on a card that isn’t the Joker

[worldly sapphire]

how tho?

i really don't know how to do that

[zealous glen]

Maybe something like … and context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[1] … but you need that context.other_card which probably means you need context.cardarea == G.played instead and context.individual.

Try looking in the code for individual = to see where that context is passed to calculate_joker to see what’s available where and when

I don’t know if all these context key names are correct

Again Photograph should help

Or Hanging Chad even

[worldly sapphire]

i saw hanging chad alot

and i still don't know where to put his code

[zealous glen]

You only need the conditions, minus the repetition part probably

You don’t need the rest

[worldly sapphire]

so i don't need the local faces?

or do i just remove the event?

[manic nest]

Going to back the full house idea i had a while back, if.self.ability.name = fullhouserock then
If. And I’m not sure where i would go from here to make it check if you are playing a full house yknow what i mean? Like what do you think would work?

[manic nest]

Sorry meant to @ this

[wintry solar]

I'm pretty sure you just need the context.scoring_hand[1] if you want to change the first card

[regal wolf]

Hey, can someone help me? I'm honestly stumped rn

[wintry solar]

you don't need to iterate over it and you don't need anything to do with faces

[worldly sapphire]

so do i just let the set_ability?

[regal wolf]

I'm trying to use G.FUNCS.skip_blind(), but it requires argument e, which I can't pass it because e is the UI component that called it.

Is there a way around that, or shall I just write my own version of G.FUNCS.skip_blind()

G.FUNCS.skip_blind function

  G.FUNCS.skip_blind = function(e)
    stop_use()
    G.CONTROLLER.locks.skip_blind = true
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        no_delete = true,
        trigger = 'after',
        blocking = false,blockable = false,
        delay = 2.5,
        timer = 'TOTAL',
        func = function()
          G.CONTROLLER.locks.skip_blind = nil
          return true
        end
      }))
    local _tag = e.UIBox:get_UIE_by_ID('tag_container')
    G.GAME.skips = (G.GAME.skips or 0) + 1
    if _tag then 
      add_tag(_tag.config.ref_table)
      local skipped, skip_to = G.GAME.blind_on_deck or 'Small', 
      G.GAME.blind_on_deck == 'Small' and 'Big' or G.GAME.blind_on_deck == 'Big' and 'Boss' or 'Boss'
      G.GAME.round_resets.blind_states[skipped] = 'Skipped'
      G.GAME.round_resets.blind_states[skip_to] = 'Select'
      G.GAME.blind_on_deck = skip_to
      play_sound('generic1')
      G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'immediate',
        func = function()
          delay(0.3)
          for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            G.jokers.cards[i]:calculate_joker({skip_blind = true})
          end
          save_run()
          for i = 1, #G.GAME.tags do
            G.GAME.tags[i]:apply_to_run({type = 'immediate'})
          end
          for i = 1, #G.GAME.tags do
            if G.GAME.tags[i]:apply_to_run({type = 'new_blind_choice'}) then break end
          end
          return true
        end
      }))
    end
  end

[wintry solar]

what is in the context.scoring_hand table?

[worldly sapphire]

idk if this is correct

[wintry solar]

send me your code in DM

[worldly sapphire]

k

the entire file?

[wintry solar]

sure

[worldly sapphire]

k

[zealous glen]

For Steamodded you don’t need to check the Joker name. I suggest looking at Jokers that care about hands played to see if any of them help

[zealous glen]

What do you think it does?

[zealous glen]

Why do you want to call it?

[regal wolf]

to add a keybind to skip blind

[zealous glen]

Isn’t there one for controller players?

[regal wolf]

No, they just select the Ui component and then press a.

It's something I could emulate, I'm just wondering if there's a way around the UI check.

[zealous glen]

Can’t the keybind select the UI component?

Some UI elements can be identified by an ID

[regal wolf]

Regardless, yes I can emulate a Ui press. I'm just wondering if there's a nicer way of doing it; like calling the function.

[wintry solar]

edition api coming soonTM...
it currently lets you add new editions that can have a combination of +chips, +mult and Xmult effects, and lets you add them to cards via consumables. What else do you think needs adding at this stage?

[near ivy]

more interesting bonae

EX: +$, edition giving, tag spawning, etc

[mellow sable]

or a custom effect (like jokers)

[boreal tusk]

okay this is just baffling me

ive basically as far as ive figured out, just replicated walkie talkie or odd todd/even steven code, but changed the specific cards to proc the effect, and the specific bonuses

the goal right now is to get this card to work at all, with "score with a king and a jack, get mult and xmult"

wont even do a thing

hmm

actually. i think im making it so it needs a card thats both at once?

yeah seems like the issue

[worldly sapphire]

iicr, to make the mult work you need a mult_mod in the return section

[boreal tusk]

yeah it was only procing the mult and not the xmult

no mult_mod aint working

[worldly sapphire]

oh mb then

[boreal tusk]

x_mult was the one

got the end product down, just need to get the "if you have two different ranks in one hand" working

[short surge]

question

when we migrate to 1.0, how can we make things happen at the beginning of the opening the game (globally)? I heard there is no init function anymore

[mellow crag]

the entire file is the init method

[short surge]

oh

so say i do G.STATES.haha = 1000 anywhere in the file it would just work?

[mellow crag]

what are you trying to do?

[short surge]

add a new pack

that opens playing cards

[mellow crag]

wdym "that opens playing cards"?

(not related to implementation, just interested)

[short surge]

a new pack that opens (to offer) playing cards

[mellow crag]

oh i see

[short surge]

also it's for my highcard mod so it opens xplaying cards pretty much

@mellow crag feder i remember you have packs in codex, did you do that as well?

setting new states and all

[mellow crag]

oh we didn't do states

[short surge]

then how...?

I mean I saw the codes, just want to get a general sense

[mellow crag]

we latched onto the opening of standard packs

like, the state we use is the standard pack state with a flag that says its an alchemy pack

[short surge]

so they would share the probability of generating? is that the case

[mellow crag]

i think so? the rates don't really connect to the state

[short surge]

(like standard pack would generate less because the game just decides to generate standard packs and sometimes they are alchemy packs)

[shell timber]

ok so

the packs generate normally

opening an alchemical pack goes into the standard state

[short surge]

also, just curious, why not latch onto consumable packs? since they are consumables

[shell timber]

they have to go to consumeable slots and not get used up

[short surge]

ohhh

cuz standard packs only has a pack of cards right

i see i see

hold on

is booster pack api gonna be a common thing in SMODS 1.0?

[shell timber]

hopefully

[random sleet]

it isnt yet

[random sleet]

tldr no because the new packs are different objects, they just put the game into "standard pack" state with a flag set to change behaviour

(i do the same thing in oddityapi)

[mellow crag]

finished porting Fusion Jokers!

[short surge]

btw is the current github of codex ported?

[mellow crag]

no

[short surge]

is oddity available yet

[random sleet]

no but i can send u the latest files in a bit

[short surge]

many thanks!!

[mellow crag]

do you also want to send me a mod to fill up that page? (sneakily asking to try thac)

[random sleet]

i dont have it handy

am at work lol

[mellow crag]

oh XD

okki

[random sleet]

the file i sent kenny is the same one i sent u i literally downloaded it from our dms hahah

[random sleet]

eight hours remain... :/

[maiden veldt]

i've been looking through other people's mods to try and find a way to change the name and description, but i haven't figured anything out. is there a way to change the text on base-game jokers?

i found out how to change just the names on planet cards, but replicating it on jokers doesn't seem to work

[maiden phoenix]

Sweet! Did you made it handle config extra values?

[mellow crag]

Not yet, I am not adding new features yet, though I will look into this when I get home

I already know how I wanna do this

[maiden phoenix]

Ah ok

[remote shell]

how would i go about making a custom challenge

[crisp coral]

which version of steamodded, 0.9.8 or 1.0.0?

[remote shell]

i believe i'm using 0.9.8?

yup

i'm not touching custom jokers just yet, just a simple challenge for now

[frosty dock]

#1211082061251874866 message here's an example challenge I made, you can use it as reference

[remote shell]

sweet, i'll pick this apart 👍

[crisp coral]

https://github.com/Mysthaps/BalatroMods/blob/main/Steamodded/GoldenChallenge.lua

also this if you'd like

(it's old

i should do an overhaul sometime

this repo is a mess

[manic nest]

@zealous glen or anyone else has modded jokers before i get to calculations is everything looking in the right direction? Nothing that’s a “this will not work because of this” in this code?

[crisp coral]

init func missing an end

[manic nest]

OH sorry yea i didnt get that in the screenshot

but it is there

[crisp coral]

then prob

[manic nest]

actually lol just realised your the one who made the gude im following

oh shoot sorry iddnt mean to ping

[slow ocean]

yeah im myst's bouncer

im here to escort you out of the server for trangressions against myst

[manic nest]

[manic nest]

Ok so i did calculations

Everything look ok?

[frosty dock]

you're not doing anything with that loc text, it seems like - and it isn't in the right format, either

{
  name = 'name',
  text = { 'text', 'more text' },
}

[manic nest]

This better?

[frosty dock]

yeah

[manic nest]

okokokokokko

so then

uh

when i put what i have into balatro

nothing happens not even a crash

and thats concerning because i feel like at the very least i was gonna get a crash and work from there

am i missing a few things rn i have the lua and the asset for the card

[frosty dock]

is the first line of your mod file --- STEAMODDED HEADER?

[manic nest]

Everything look ok here?

[frosty dock]

nope you misspelt steamodded

that says steammoded

[manic nest]

ooooooooooooh

would that really stop all the code form working?

[frosty dock]

the loader looks for that specific first line

if it's something else, it literally won't load

[manic nest]

uhhhhhhh it still didnt load does it have to be spaced a certain way?

[frosty dock]

no spaces at the start

[manic nest]

still no load weird

[frosty dock]

oh i just saw your file extension is uppercase LUA

try turning that into lowercase

[manic nest]

oh i tried to change that but it never did ill see what i can do

its weird cuz its caved as Alizatest and not Alizatest.LUA but whenever i open it its still LUA

[frosty dock]

uh what code editor are you using?

[manic nest]

i think this is just sublime text

[frosty dock]

hm I'm not familiar with it, but you should be able to change the file extension

you might need to enable file extensions on your system first if it doesn't show in the file explorer

[manic nest]

how would i do that?

ok changed it

still not loading

huh.....

[manic nest]

btw all that is here is ALL the code i have is there something im missing you think?

[frosty dock]

can you send the file?

[manic nest]

yeyeyeyeyeyeye

[regal shoal]

Idk if someone gave you that, but there is a wiki here :
https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki

[frosty dock]

two things

you still misspelt Steamodded

[manic nest]

HUH

[frosty dock]

and you also misspelt init

[manic nest]

wait where did i misspell init?

[frosty dock]

SMODS.INTI

[manic nest]

OK

it loaded

and crashed,

OK

thank you thank you thank you

its not about the crash

its a bount the loading

thats def my time to get off and work on it tmrw but thank you again now i can actually start taking steps forword

[gilded blaze]

meanwhile me still unable to figure out how to remove the "of" in "Rank of Suit" since in Vietnamese it's just called "Rank Suit"

[zealous glen]

You probably want to change the localization dictionary directly

[gilded blaze]

I can't find anything related to "of" in there

[zealous glen]

I imagine it’s not a variable, but rather each description writes “of” manually. Either that or the localize function manually adds the “of”

[random sleet]

"of" would be different per-language already right? :?

[frosty dock]

the localization entry you're looking for is G.localization.descriptions.Other.playing_card

[zealous glen]

Idol also has “of since it’s in a new line

[frosty dock]

hm right

[gilded blaze]

thx a lot
while waiting for Steamodded 1.0, I shall prepare vi.lua

[frosty dock]

seals seem to be working well enough

[random sleet]

pog

[frosty dock]

btw more than one underscore isn't an issue

i can't get around :lower()ing the mod prefix though, it's just something the game does

[random sleet]

right.

so mod prefixes must be lowercase if you add seals

[frosty dock]

nope

the key itself doesn't get messed with

it's just that the game makes this modification based on the seal's key for the badge and then expects it to be that way

[random sleet]

hm. seems like it'd cause problems but fair ig

[frosty dock]

eh

[random sleet]

ill have to poke jokerstamps today if i dont get too distracted

[frosty dock]

i did need to add a reverse lookup

i can't find the modded seal based on the badge string otherwise

turns out I need to do that for the tooltip

[gilded blaze]

how does misprint desc work

does it grab the "Mult" in dictionary or sth (since the +mult value goes randomly, while Mult jumps to and from rand{} occasionally)

[frosty dock]

it uses this piece of code in Card:generate_UIBox_ability_table()

so yeah, it grabs Mult from the dictionary

[gilded blaze]

glad to hear that

[mellow crag]

How do you guys feel about things that multiply chip value? I don’t recall seeing people make something like it.

[wintry solar]

As playing card effects I could be okay with it, as joker effects 👎👎👎

[remote coral]

Sanzang let’s GO!

[crisp coral]

the great royal gala debate

[mellow crag]

?

Oh wait sorry

I pinged

[crisp coral]

heck

ortalab thing

[mellow crag]

I see

[shell timber]

i will eventually have loaded disk + bigshot joker fusion that gives x3 mult and x2 chips

[tawny perch]

im honestly indifferent to it

i can get behind xChips but its not the most exciting thing

[random sleet]

xChips can have cool interactions

[tawny perch]

that is true

speaking of which ive always thought royal gala couldve been scaling +chips but you could do something interesting with the xchips

its just it alone is about as interesting as xmult

[random sleet]

but flavor

[golden lake]

XChipsAPI

DoritosAPI

[tawny perch]

yoo noway

[golden lake]

X(treme) Chips

[tawny perch]

call it the doritosAPI thats funny

[remote coral]

Paqui Joker that gains x1 Chips each time you get an overkill (flaming) score

Spicy chip

[random sleet]

akai you should make flourite octet jackpot be X8 chips and X8 mult

[golden lake]

thats so real

im doing that

if someone makes the XChips api

[random sleet]

i wonder if aure would integrate it if i make it and send it his way...

[mellow crag]

Do it autumn

I believe in you

[random sleet]

i really should just learn to use github orz

federrrrrrrrr

how do i githubbbbbb

[zealous glen]

I’m not a fan because that already exists and it’s called Mult smh

:P a lot of people have mentioned the idea, even during last year’s demo, but I haven’t seen a mod with it (I haven’t seen many mods)

[random sleet]

but

FLAVOR

[zealous glen]

What would you like to know about GitHub?

[zealous glen]

What flavor?

[tawny perch]

i have changed my mind
this discussion has made me actually like xchips

not yours btw, the one above

doritosAPI is too funny to pass

[zealous glen]

Doritos isn’t blue though

[tawny perch]

dont care

chips

doritos

[zealous glen]

Mult is closer to Doritos color

But

FLAVOR

[random sleet]

idk i just wanna add stuff to smods so im not just being a whiny ass at aure all the time

[zealous glen]

You have some mods on GitHub so Idk what you’re asking

[random sleet]

i know how to upload stuff to github's website so clearly im a git master....

[tawny perch]

thats
so boring tho
like sure yea doritos red so mult or smth but like fukin a lot of things are red

[zealous glen]

It’s not that different. I think you can clone the repository the push to it, maybe in a different branch

Idk if PRs require anything special but at least that way other people should be able to see what you did

[random sleet]

what the fuck do those words mean

[zealous glen]

Pushing means you exert force on an object away from your body

[random sleet]

im literally the stupidest person to ever live

[zealous glen]

So you push from your local repo to the cloud

[random sleet]

ok

[zealous glen]

You start by cloning a repository. Git provides you the command to do that if you click on the green button I think

Then you probably want to git checkout to create a new branch, I think it’s something like git checkout -b main or whatever local repositories are usually called

Or maybe it’s -b after

[random sleet]

ok so i should just leave it to the smart people qq

[golden lake]

blue doritos exist you dunce

[zealous glen]

Then why is it called blue Doritos instead of Doritos

[golden lake]

no theyre called cool ranch doritos

[zealous glen]

They’re not blue

[golden lake]

fake doritos fan

[zealous glen]

The packaging is blue

I don’t like Doritos

[golden lake]

it shows

[zealous glen]

I mean after that you’re mostly done, you just need to commit and eventually push. Sometimes you pull to get an update. If you’re working in a separate branch that’s fine. The difficult part might be merging

[random sleet]

i literally understand nothing

[zealous glen]

Pulling means exerting force to bring an object closer to your body

So you pull from the cloud to your computer

[random sleet]

if you're going to both treat me as a toddler and also expect me to be fluent in git then shut up

[zealous glen]

Sorry

I think I failed to find a good middle between both explanations and that came across as disrespectful

[golden lake]

push - Changes from your machine are uploaded to GitHub servers
pull - Changes from GitHub servers are uploaded to your machine
commit - Abstraction for total changes made to your files described under a single comment
merge - A resolution to an issue where the contents of a commit are contradictory with another commit submitted by another person

[wintry solar]

I think @edgy reef has made Xchips work

[golden lake]

Not talking about it as part of a larger mod

Specifically talking about it as in a small addon you add to your own mod

[wintry solar]

Yeah but I’m sure it can be pulled out of that for others to use

[golden lake]

Best to make it an API then

[shell timber]

hm

[random sleet]

idk im just too stupid to be a programmer

[shell timber]

there's an official github client which abstracts all of the cli stuff

[golden lake]

bites you

[random sleet]

im sorry

[golden lake]

no no

i just bite you

get bitten

[random sleet]

im sorry

[mellow crag]

Now that I finished codex and fusion ports, what should I do?

[golden lake]

FusionAPI

[mellow crag]

Apart form that?

[golden lake]

yes

wait no

i forgot

brain

you should do more uh

composite hands work

[frosty dock]

crops tho

[shell timber]

really tempted to make like a $12 booster pack that gives stuff that impacts the next run

[mellow crag]

Crops are fun

[gilded blaze]

Omega Pack (Booster)

Specify up to 3 consumable cards of your choice to use immediately

wait, you mean next run?

[shell timber]

yeah

like

+$5 next run

etc.

[gilded blaze]

ok then

Foresight Pack (Booster)

Choose one of up to 5 consumable cards to start your next run with

[frosty dock]

start next run with 5 fully random jokers, lose this run immediately (spectral)

[mellow crag]

Instant use

[frosty dock]

lmao

[languid mirage]

fully random rental jokers

[frosty dock]

fully random eternal rental jokers

[bold osprey]

Spend 100$ right now to be able to begin with a random common joker every future run

I also need to push a fix on the sound player APi of Steamodded

[zealous glen]

Fully random eternal rental debuffed jokers

[frosty dock]

I think I'll pass on that one

[crisp coral]

eden's blessing

[gusty depot]

figured better here than general, but: does anyone know what the order field is in the usages in prof.jkr?

..is it just the arbitrary order of each consumable? fool and mercury are 1

[crisp coral]

it's the ordering in the collections tab

[worldly sapphire]

Joker idea - Sharpener: Gets +15 mult for every joker you sell. Currently +15 Mult

[gusty depot]

oh god that's busted

like it's 5x the mult of red card to begin with, it's not limited to only 2 per shop, buy/sell jokers is far cheaper than packs...

[bold osprey]

should begin at 0 imo and be less scaling

[hoary sand]

riff-raff

[nimble sequoia]

When the riff gets raffed

[worldly sapphire]

Riff raff synergy intended

[hoary sand]

but it's like

a lot of synergy

+30/round without much effort is hmm

maybe +mult based on the sell price (with a cap of like 10 or something)

[olive shoal]

would this not also just be a stronger variant of cermonial dagger

[hoary sand]

it would be a sidegrade wouldn't it?

dagger is 2x without cap, this would be 1x with a cap

[shell timber]

and you get the money back

[crisp coral]

Oh.

[frosty dock]

oh, that makes... some amount of sense

shouldn't it be defeated?

[crisp coral]

Yup!

I want to fucking dieeeeeeeeeeee

(not actually but

[crisp coral]

yeah ok ill release mystblinds 1.0.0 now

sadly the alpha isn't even working on Mac afaik

[manic nest]

Oh danngggggg

[sly forge]

no it's just lovely that "doesn't work on mac". well, it works. it just hasn't officially released

[frosty dock]

lovely does work on Mac, it's just not properly documented

[unkempt thicket]

is there a thing I can refer to help with porting to 1.0?

[frosty dock]

People are starting to put their stuff out there for 1.0, but I'll be writing docs soon as well

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki but take it with a grain of salt, it's been incomplete and will soon be updated for a new major version

it will likely be useful to you to inspect the game's source code, to do that you simply need to extract the game executable with 7-zip

[gaunt thistle]

released beta3 with hopefully better documentation

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector/releases/tag/v0.5.0-beta3

[frosty dock]

lovely indeed

[maiden phoenix]

Is "findModByID" deprecated in steamodded 1.0.0?

[frosty dock]

yes

[maiden phoenix]

Oh

[frosty dock]

SMODS.Mods is now indexed by mod ID, allowing this operation to be constant time instead of O(n)

[maiden phoenix]

So if I wanted the path of my mod it'd be SMODS.Mods["my_mod_id"].path?

[frosty dock]

even simpler

during load, SMODS.current_mod contains your mod's data

the APIs have access to this, meaning you don't need to provide your mod's path to the sprite API either

[maiden phoenix]

Do I just put the file name in the path?

[frosty dock]

yeah

[toxic crystal]

windows link downloads the mac arm archive

[leaden belfry]

I am trying to implement this but find redeeming clearance sale gives only +2. it seems the discount effect is applied before trying calculate joker...

[zealous glen]

Did you add your own context?

[leaden belfry]

context.card.cost from vanilla

[zealous glen]

But it probably needs another context to trigger

[gaunt thistle]

I fix

in like 10 mins

[maiden veldt]

i've been looking through other people's mods to try and find a way to change the name and description, but i haven't figured anything out. is there a way to change the text on base-game jokers?

i found out how to change just the names on planet cards, but replicating it on jokers doesn't seem to work

[leaden belfry]

It works perfectly after restart, I don't think I changed any code

very very strange

[gaunt thistle]

fixed

[leaden belfry]

oh, previously in the animation part I calculate that again but now I pre-calculate it and pass this to animation, this seems make difference

[maiden phoenix]

Has anyone succeeded on doing a joker spritesheet on SMODS 1.0.0? I don't get why it doesn't work. It doesn't crash but the first sprite is not showing.

[narrow pollen]

matador rework progress

B = Big Payout of $5 at start of round or when hand effect triggers
S = Small Payout of $3 per affected card played (even if unscored)

yes, this means the tooth is a net profit of $2 per card

[remote coral]

Red vs green

[narrow pollen]

not implemented vs implemented

the idea is for it to have as much compatibility with boss blinds as possible

so you at least get SOMETHING, even during boring boss blinds like wall

[remote coral]

So a different interpretation of the effect to get as much interaction as possible?

[narrow pollen]

mhm

and two different denominations of pay

[remote coral]

How exactly do some of these make sense as “when boss blind ability triggers”

[narrow pollen]

they don't. that's why it's been reworded

[mellow sable]

https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Cryptid/blob/main/Items/Exotic Jokers.lua
Here’s an example from my mod, make sure your X and Y positions are set properly

[narrow pollen]

$5 when ability triggers (when something is done to the whole hand, or you are affected at the start of round)

[mellow sable]

in response to this

[narrow pollen]

$3 per affected card played

[maiden phoenix]

You don't use a spritesheet tho it seems?

[brisk quartz]

some of these cards are going to go craz

though what's the chance of getting an epic card

[odd dock]

violet vessel undiscovered?

[mellow sable]

you can look at things like the exotic jokers though

they use a spritesheet for all 3 parts

[narrow pollen]

listen, i haven't gotten to ante 8 often enough yet because i'm bad at the game and i wanted to gold stake black deck so i never had to play it again--

[remote coral]

Violet Vessel is x2 Wall payout

[maiden phoenix]

Still, each joker is their own small spritesheet, it's not a big one

[narrow pollen]

yeah, they're just giving me grief for not having unlocked it on my file yet

[odd dock]

damn 😔

[mellow sable]

you can also look at my spritesheets for stakes if that would be more helpful

[maiden phoenix]

Oh finally got it working 😭

Thanks a lot 👍

``` this lovely patch won't load, what am I doing wrong?

[narrow pollen]

ye. i literally got into modding this game for two reasons.
1.) black deck is ass
2.) straights are ass

and by "ass," i mean "easy to whiff on"

[odd dock]

straights really did get a lot better with the saturn buff tho i have to say

actually worth the risk of whiffing

[narrow pollen]

yeah, glad localthunk and i had the same idea there

[narrow pollen]

i think the big thing of it is that there's no really good way to fix your deck for straights

[wild gyro]

hanged man helps a lot

[still jacinth]

is there an easy way to slightly modify what a tag does in tag.lua?

or just edit a function in it

[unkempt thicket]

what is the problem?

[still jacinth]

can i see your code?

[unkempt thicket]

not my code just downloaded cyrtid with steammodded 1.0

looking to port my code to it, but need a mod that I can see what's different

[mellow sable]

Not using mod prefix for some sprites which causes errors

I have to update my mod to match that Steamodded version

[narrow pollen]

i mean... in a way, yes...

but at the same time, cutting a rank...

unless it's an edge number, it reduces the number of possible straights you can draw

[wild gyro]

so cut those ones

[narrow pollen]

but the problem is, those are both the lowest AND the highest value cards

and the ones with the most joker synergy

2-3-4-5, and A-K-Q-J-T

and even then

[wild gyro]

the joker synergy doesn't really matter when straights score so much

[narrow pollen]

well, yeah

[edgy reef]

Wait, do objects now need to have the mod prefix for sprite atlases?

[mellow sable]

no, things outside of Steamodded API

[edgy reef]

ohh ok

this was the issue (before, these were looking at sticker and not cry_sticker)

so @unkempt thicket the latest GitHub should be compatible

[unkempt thicket]

cool, thanks

[mellow sable]

I'm also probably going to refactor tonight or tomorrow, which will likely make it more confusing to use as an example tbh

since it involves the fileloading system more

[gilded blaze]

readme is updated to include mac guide, but run_lovely.sh from source code hasn't included a version for Intel-based Macs

[edgy reef]

Yeah the current one for Balatro is pretty confusing at first glance.

[mellow sable]

like I don't think this syntax is going to help you understand how to use Steamodded

[edgy reef]

That's an interesting way to register an object.

[mellow sable]

this way I can load it from a file only when I want to when I read a file

return {name = "Very Fair Deck",
        init = function()
            local Backapply_to_runRef = Back.apply_to_run
            function Back.apply_to_run(self)
                Backapply_to_runRef(self)
                if self.effect.config.cry_no_vouchers then 
                    G.GAME.modifiers.cry_no_vouchers = true
                end
            end
        end,
        items = {very_fair_sprite, very_fair}}

I basically return a table with the things that I want to happen

and it just works

[narrow pollen]

to be quite honest, i've been thinking while i deal with RL shit, and i think just realized: the main problem with straights, is that under normal circumstances... there are only nine valid straight hands, that require five cards to each be a specific rank.

5432A
65432
76543
87654
98765
T9876
JT987
QJT98
KQJT9
AKQJT```if that wasn't bad enough, it's harder to force even one of those 9 specific hands in the same way than it is to force your cards to be a single suit or rank... _and_ less rewarding than most hand-type oriented builds

flushes have the sin jokers, AND an extra joker for each suit

[hallow forge]

Isn’t that 10?

[narrow pollen]

maybe i counted wrong?

[hallow forge]

you did

[narrow pollen]

i guess i did

yeah

but regardless

that's less than "pick 5 out of 13" for flush

[gleaming flint]

I want more help understanding how to make a modification for balatro using steammodded, can someone give me some tips?

[narrow pollen]

well, it'd help to have an idea of what you want to implement first

[gleaming flint]

Free jokers or something easy like that so I can understand what I'm doing

[austere schooner]

joker that makes 432AK, 32AKQ and 2AKQJ valid straights when (/j)

[narrow pollen]

already done in #1226055105204453428

reworked to make those valid AND spawn a random consumable on playing any straight

[wild gyro]

that makes it very good

[narrow pollen]

for stat nerds: the odds are currently 45-45-10 for tarot, planet, and spectral.

might actually remove the whole spectral spawning thing from seance

now that i've changed that to offer x0.5 mult per spectral card used the whole run.

[manic nest]

hey can someone look over the code for the sprite i believe im getting a crash error because it says line 37 attempt to index a nil value im not sure if thats the only issue but if you can lemme know ill send the code

[mellow crag]

good luuuuuuck

[crisp coral]

if you sent the code with that message then you would've gotten your answer earlier

[manic nest]

`function SMODS.INIT.Alizatest()
local jokers_def = {
testcard = {
name = 'Testcard',
text = {'test'}
}

 }

 local Testcard = SMODS.Joker:new(
     "Testcard",
     "Testcard",
     {extra = {x_mult = 10}},
     {x = 0, y = 0},
     2,

local sprite = SMODS.Sprite:new("Alizatest_Jokers", SMODS.findModByID("ALIZATEST").path, "Alizatest.png", 71, 95, "asset_atli") sprite:register()



  -----ok im gonna calcuate this now and pray it dosent break ok cool go 

  SMODS.Joker.j_Testcard.calculate = function(self, context)
      if SMODS.end_calculate_context(context) then
       if (context.scoring_name == 'Full House') then 
           return {
               message = localize {type='variable',key='a_xmult',vars={self.ability.extra.x_mult}},
               Xmult_mod = self.ability.extra.x_mult
           } 
    end 
  end

end

end`

i am getting an error when i load the game that says 52: atempt to index field 'j_Testcard' [a nil value] and im not sure where to work from that message

im sure it has something to do with calculations but idk what would have caused the issue on 52 it was just the end

[royal ether]

if its when you launch the game, its an issue with how you declare the joker, i believe

im not familiar with smod so i cant really help beyond that

[crisp coral]

SMODS.Jokers.j_Testcard

[manic nest]

o.

yea that seems to be a reacuring issue im having with coding lol

[royal ether]

also is this a mobile thing whats with the whitespace near the end

[manic nest]

i thinkso

[royal ether]

grrr mobile discord

[crisp coral]

there's just that many linebreaks

[royal ether]

oh

[manic nest]

yea i gotta fix that lol

im still getting the same crash error though

does end have to be in a specific spot or does that matter?

[royal ether]

indentation doesnt matter, if thats what you mean

[manic nest]

so as long as there is 3 ends to the function and ifs its ok?

[royal ether]

yea

[manic nest]

ok cool cool

uhhhhhhhh

hmm

[royal ether]

i have a feeling its a missing bracket or comma somewhere

maybe?

xmult_mod doesnt have an opening bracket

wait no

[manic nest]

SMODS.Jokers.j_Testcard.calculate = function(self, context) if SMODS.end_calculate_context(context) then if (context.scoring_name == 'Full House') then return { message = localize {type='variable',key='a_xmult',vars={self.ability.extra.x_mult}}, Xmult_mod = self.ability.extra.x_mult } end end end specifically this is the text

the very last end is where its saying there is an issue

ok uh

nevermind????

now its giving another one

[royal ether]

which one

[manic nest]

main.lua1350: attempt to index local 'center' [a number value]

[royal ether]

im comparing to bunco rn which im not sure if youre on the same version of smods as, but i think youre missing localization when making a new joker

before rarity, after sprite pos

actually yea im pretty sure thats it

you declare jokers_def but dont use it anywhere

[manic nest]

wym?

before rarity after sprite pos?

[royal ether]

yea you just put jokers_def there im pretty sure

{x=0,y=0},
jokers_def,
2,```

[manic nest]

hmmm still giving me the main.lua error

lemme download bunco and see what your talking about rq

[royal ether]

just check their code on github

specifically im looking at bunco.lua line 1670ish

im not sure how smods does sprites, but should the first argument be j_Testcard instead of Alizatest_Jokers

[manic nest]

OK so error log changed so i think i may have fixed it

now its saying bad argument #1 to 'ipairs' [table expected, got nil]

[olive shoal]

where would i find steamodded 1.0 btw? im starting modding stuff of my own and apparently if the version of the modloader im using is about to become obsolete thatd be a bit of a pain

or is it not a public out thing yet

[frosty dock]

there's no release for it as of yet since it's still rapidly changing - you can find it on the main branch of the Steamodded github

1.0 requires using lovely

[olive shoal]

right, ty

[manic nest]

Been looking through the code so many times I still can’t see what would be causing this

[royal ether]

looking at the traceback, your joker loc_def is probably invalid

i cant really help beyond that, i dunno how smod loc def works compared to balamods

[narrow pollen]

you know what, i'm more proud of this than i thought i'd be

i think this is going to be my full house joker (after i move the text down a pixel or two)

[nimble sequoia]

🐺

[narrow pollen]

and the new and improved brick by brick is going to be the joker that makes stones count as their own rank

[manic nest]

I appreciate your help regardless I’ll look into it more tmrw
