hmm

Shouldn’t it be card.ability.extra.copied_joker?

[fast badge]

it should, but that shouldnt change the functionality

[frosty dock]

ability gets copied fully, but it happens after the load hook

so card.ability isn't yet initialized with these values when using that function

[zealous glen]

If you reset the Sprite in set_ability does that help?

[fast badge]

thats not called on load

Also, what you suggested aure, card.ability is nil at the point of set_sprites execution

so id have to rewrite some code to catch that, but card.ability is where the part im trying to access is stored so i dont think its gonna work lol

[zealous glen]

It’s called when the card is created, and AFAIK loading the game recreates every card

[fast badge]

I thought I tested it last time and it didn't work, but I'll test it again

first ill move stuff into extra

[frosty dock]

set_sprites should do for load

it's called at the end

though maybe there's no reason for the load hook to be this early

[fast badge]

nupp

Works now

with set_sprites and some nil checks

[zealous glen]

I have a Joker that has self.ability.extra.whatever = stuff in set_ability and it works

[fast badge]

hmm

[fallen tendon]

oh god sleeping was a terrible idea

i have so many bugs to fix

[mellow sable]

I also think there's an issue with the Gear pool from testing but I had several other mods loaded so 🤷‍♂️

[fallen tendon]

@mellow sable did you do anything weird to cause that to happen? iv been trying to replicate it in a game but i got a trowel with it's full uses after already using one fully, and everytime i get a gear from the debug menu it doesn't come back with no uses, and in addition using two gears side by side still gave them individual numbers of uses

[mellow sable]

I had like 10 other mods installed

when I was testing

[fallen tendon]

i think it might be a mod you had that interfered with the game's ability to distinguish between instances of an object

something definiterly is wrong with the gear pool though

it appears that it causes crazy amounts of jokers to spawn if you have one in your consumable area

i didn't really define a fallback gear

so it defaulted to joker

but i still dont know why the pool regards every gear as the same one

oh no the pool is more jank than i thought

[mint tundra]

local function fillInDefaults(t,d)
    for k,v in pairs(d) do
        if t[k] == nil then t[k] = v end
    end
end

i dont know what went wrong there so i wanted to ask what i have to fix and how

[wintry solar]

t doesn’t exist

[gilded narwhal]

Hey what is this super weird name

[gilded narwhal]

Yo my game is saying edition is nil but I've seen it used before in this exact way

[wintry solar]

That looks correct to me, what situation is it crashing in?

[gilded narwhal]

When there's negative jokers

Actually just when there's jokers at all

[wintry solar]

Try putting the card.edition.negative in a separate if block

yea, i found out it is 10x easier to mod in 1.0.0. I've already had multiple of my 0.9.8 problems solved from previous code thanks to 1.0.0 so converting it backwards is... pain

[royal ether]

simply dont 👍

they gotta make the switch eventually anyways

[fallen tendon]

best solution

i really hope that 1.0.0 gets a full release soon

and the agonizing bugs with the pools it generates are fixed

i buy 1 modded consuable and now the shop is flooded with jokers

[gilded narwhal]

Are there gonna unique jokers for evolving ones

[fallen tendon]

base jokers

[fast badge]

Anything is legal

Don't quote me on that

[maiden phoenix]

Is there a way to dynamically change a card UI_box content?

[royal ether]

while its being displayed?

[maiden phoenix]

Like if an event trigger similar to a joker context

[royal ether]

cant you just use loc vars for that or are you changing, like badges and stuff

[maiden phoenix]

Not really, because the card value I'm fetching only exists during card addition

[gilded narwhal]

This didn't work as well

[maiden phoenix]

And the card object from the UI func isn't really a card 😔

[gilded narwhal]

In fact if I just have "if card.edition then" still doesn't work

[royal ether]

remind me, what does the card object in the ui function contain

theres probably a convoluted path to get back to your card

[royal ether]

alright im stumped

[maiden phoenix]

I could do a loop trough G.joker.cards if I wanted to maybe 🤔 That feels so unoptimal lol

[royal ether]

you probably need unique_val for that

to handle duplicates

[maiden phoenix]

What's that?

[royal ether]

its just a unique value for every object

so you can differentiate 2 exactly the same cards

i also dunno what your use case is, so maybe you dont need it

[fast badge]

what's sort_id then?

[maiden phoenix]

But otherwise I can't just change the uibox content?

[wintry solar]

I’m guessing the “card” here then is also not really a card like these others are discussing, can you see what it contains inside it?

[royal ether]

you probably need a way to get back to the actual card object from wherever youre doing your stuff

[maiden phoenix]

I know the card when I do my stuff

[royal ether]

oh

you can do card.AUT

and modify that

i think

[maiden phoenix]

Interesting, I'll give it a look

[royal ether]

that exists only while youre hovering the card though

[maiden phoenix]

I mean that's when info_queue shows up so I guess it doesn't really matter?

[royal ether]

and gets regenerated when you re-hover it

yea

maybe

yea i think its card.AUT.(probably a table name here).info or something for the info queue

i havent looked at code in a month so sorry if im wrong

[maiden phoenix]

Eh I'll just experiment, thanks a lot 👍

[royal ether]

maybe sort_id is within a card area, so you can have jimbo with sort_id 1 in jokers and jimbo with sort_id 1 in consumables

idk tho ive never touxhed sort id

i usually use unique_val just to check if the card im messing with is the card it should be

like "this affects all other jokers" type beat yknow

[fast badge]

Victin (i think it was them) told me to use sort_id to save the joker im looking for

[royal ether]

it probably works fine

i just found unique_val first so thats what i ended up using yknow

[fast badge]

yee

I woulda too

maybe I'll refactor my code to it, eventually

[zealous glen]

not me IIRC

[fast badge]

then probably Math

[zealous glen]

Is that the unique value of each node?

[royal ether]

yea

[zealous glen]

Is it saved?

[royal ether]

yea

every object has .unique_val i think?

[zealous glen]

every node AFAIK

But I haven't checked to see if it was saved when you saved the game

Because Card objects aren't

[royal ether]

dont objects extend nodes

[zealous glen]

huh?

That's what I said

[royal ether]

oh you mean like saved saved

[zealous glen]

also it's the other way around

[royal ether]

oh

[zealous glen]

yeah saved saved not saved saved

[royal ether]

the way i use it, it doesnt matter what the actual number is

[zealous glen]

Because Card objects aren't saved

[royal ether]

so it can change and the use case still works fine

[zealous glen]

so if the unique ID is saved that helps

[royal ether]

(im literally just checking if card.unique_val == self.unique_val)

i dont think its saved

pretty sure they get (basically randomly) reassigned when you re-opem the game

[zealous glen]

F

[zealous glen]

I'm talking about Node.ID

[royal ether]

yea

unique_val uses node.id

[zealous glen]

but translated and scaled down

for whatever reason

[royal ether]

no biggie

serves the exact same purpose

[zealous glen]

I don't think it'd help me

If it's not saved

Because I'd want a thing to remember a specific card

[royal ether]

you can save a value to the game object

in fact, you can save anything to the game object

[zealous glen]

But it doesn't matter because Cards aren't saved

[royal ether]

or you can just add a value in card.ability to check for

like to one specific card

[zealous glen]

When you load the game, it recreates every Card

So the saved Card doesn't exist anymore

[royal ether]

yea but it has to load the old cards .ability table

so you just toss whatever you want to be saved in there

[zealous glen]

card.ability.extra.remember = other_card doesn't work because other_card stops existing between reloads

[royal ether]

card.ability.extra.rememberer = G.game.num_remember
other_card.ability.extra.rememberee = G.game.num_remember
G.game.num_remember++

boom

[zealous glen]

that's not helpful because if I need to iterate over every card to find out which card remembers which then there are better ways of doing it

[royal ether]

its not an expensive operation

in the grand scheme of things

[zealous glen]

First I'd need a list of all cards

then iterate over it

for each card that needs to remember another

[royal ether]

thats like, 200, tops

[zealous glen]

(you might be able to do one pass by being smart)

[royal ether]

well if you figure out a way lmk because im kinda curious what a good solution would be

[zealous glen]

Add a Boolean variable to each card and iterate over each relevant card when I want the thing that I want to happen to happen

[zealous glen]

if you meant specifically how to do a single pass, just as you go through cards, write down the first member of a pair/group as you go through the list, then when you find the other member(s), add it to the same list

But I don't think there's a master list of all cards

although maybe you can do it on Card:load

[royal ether]

oh wait youre remembering cards that dont exist yet?

like centers?

[zealous glen]

When the game loads cards don't exist yet

They're recreated

[royal ether]

yes i know

[zealous glen]

which is why saving the Card object doesn't work

[royal ether]

im asking if other_card is a center or a card

[zealous glen]

For me it was a Card

[royal ether]

what cards are allowed to be other_card?

playimg, joker, consumables?

[zealous glen]

yes

[royal ether]

because you can just iterate through the three seperately

[zealous glen]

I was mostly concerned with playing myself but in principle it could be extended to anything

[zealous glen]

but is there a list of all cards?

[royal ether]

g.deck

[zealous glen]

aren't they removed from G.deck when they go to other CardAreas

[royal ether]

iirc they arent

when i was testing beaver, it upgraded everything i think

i could be wrong

[royal ether]

id test beaver again to see for sure, but im not home fr another day or so

im pretty sure it has sometjing to do with the translucent cards in G.deck

[zealous glen]

Looking at the sequence of calls they do seem to be removed

[maiden phoenix]

When I debug it it says AUT (or ability_UIBox_table) isn't a table

[edgy reef]

card.AUT doesn't exist.

AUT is defined as a local variable in G.UIDEF.card_h_popup, which is equal to card.ability_UIBox_table

If you want the ability UIBox table, you check that.

[maiden phoenix]

Yea I know I was just mentioning it to correct him

[edgy reef]

ah

[maiden phoenix]

But its weird cuz it says it's not a table?

[edgy reef]

Is it nil?

It does get set to nil when remove_UI is called

Might actually return as a UIBox

(which is a table so probably not)

[edgy reef]

If it's nil then it would return "not a table"

Which makes sense, it's only set when the card is hovered.

[maiden phoenix]

So it can't be modified

[edgy reef]

card.ability_UIBox_table is the same as card:generate_UIBox_ability_table()

If you need the values you can fetch it from there.

[fast mango]

Hi guys, I'm migrating my mod to 1.0.0 but somehow when I use the function create_card i get this. It works perfectly on the 0.9.8 version

[maiden phoenix]

I just need to modify the UI box, like perishable in some way

Thing is it's different from perishable as a mechanic

[edgy reef]

Modify as in add stuff to it?

[maiden phoenix]

Not add, replace

[edgy reef]

The UI is screwed but hey, it works.

[zealous glen]

Corner stuff happened to me when I accidentally UI in the global scope

[maiden phoenix]

Screw it, no tracking

[edgy reef]

How would I make it not global scope?

Right now I'm copying how blinds are created in their menu with this as the text info.

Copying the name text from a different desc setup since name_text also contains the {C:attention} that I do for the normal description.

[zealous glen]

I think the issue is when the name or whatever the text is is created

[zealous glen]

What do you mean

[fallen tendon]

ooooh what do those d6 sides do?

also why are thye hexagonal when a d6 is a cube

[edgy reef]

Because representing a 3D object like a D6 as a 2D image was too complicated so I settles with it being displayed like a revolver chamber. #⚙・modding-general message

Hexagon is the best shape for that + it's 6-sided.

[maiden phoenix]

Nvm I got it working

[edgy reef]

The mod is also inspired off of Astrea, which does the same thing when looking at the die in menus.

Very simple way of representing it.

[zealous glen]

If only one side applies you only need to display that side

[edgy reef]

There's a selector sprite drawn to show which one is rolled.

It's the white line

Oh I know what you mean.

Don't like that idea as it means you won't know what the all the sides are.

[zealous glen]

You can show that on a tooltip

And have the current face display somewhere where you don’t need to click to see

[nocturne garnet]

does anyone just have a joker template of a joker that just gives +4 mult

im still confused on how to make one do anything

[edgy reef]

I feel like the better solution is to just have the D6 in the art and swap the sprite to the currently selected one.

[zealous glen]

Something like that

[edgy reef]

I've made a joker with tons of tooltips, adding another one could cause it to not be visible when hovering.

[zealous glen]

You usually add the effect you want it to have inside the calculate function. The function should verify what’s the context so it only does something when the context is right. In that case, then Joker does something

[nocturne garnet]

i understood that but

i didnt understand the basic mult stuff

just pure +4 mult

[zealous glen]

Find out the context for giving raw bonuses like that, then what to do for the game to compute it

In this case, I’ll let you know you can define an appropriate return as the game collects them and displays an animation

I think the context ought to be joker_main, which you’d test for with if context.joker_main then … end

So it would end up looking something like

function calculate(self, context):
    if context.joker_main then
        return {something goes here}
    end
end

[nocturne garnet]

ty

[stray warren]

What is the context for a joker card that is in the available booster cards to pick from a buffoon pack?

I see context.open_booster, but is that for when it's first opened? I see Hallucination uses that

[zealous glen]

I don’t think there’s any

You can try set_ability and see if a Joker was created while the state is a Buffoon Pack and the Joker is in the right place

As opposed to being in G.jokers

[stray warren]

Oh, I think I see what you mean. Is that section a cardarea perhaps?

[zealous glen]

I don’t know

[stray warren]

I'm gonna try to send some debug messages and figure it out. Maybe it'll show me

[zealous glen]

You can just see where Buffon Packs add cards to

[stray warren]

I didn't think of that. That seems much easier

It looks like this might be what I'm looking for... checking if G.STATE == G.STATES.BUFFOON_PACK in my calculate_joker function

[zealous glen]

I had already said that

But remember I also said they need to be created in the right place

[stray warren]

Oops, I didn't realize that. But all I'm really doing is adding some text to its description so I'm not sure that's something I need to do

[zealous glen]

Judgement

[stray warren]

Wait what about Judgement? I'm not sure I understand

[zealous glen]

<@&1133519078540185692> bot?

[zealous glen]

It can create a Joker at any time

Including when the state is G.STATES.BUFFOON_PACK

[carmine yacht]

what in the world

[limber kraken]

Lol

[carmine yacht]

oh m ygod i had my phone on in my pokcet

sorry about that

[livid scroll]

Yeah that ain't a bot

[zealous glen]

I saw the posts and the bio and I was suspicious

[livid scroll]

People have have links in bio we only band posted links

[edgy reef]

That's a discord feature?

[stray warren]

Yeah, that shouldn't be an issue. All I'm doing is appending the sell value of the joker to the end of the message. It goes away as soon as the STATE isn't BUFFOON_PACK

[zealous glen]

That’s not what I was referring to exactly but anyways

[zealous glen]

Then you don’t care when they’re created, just for the current state, unlike what you said

I still think it’s weird to have it show up on every Joker when the state is that tho

As opposed to only the Jokers you don’t yet have

[stray warren]

Yeah, that's true. I probably need to make it that way

[wintry solar]

Is the pack its own cardarea? That would be easy to check for if so

[stray warren]

Yeah, I was hoping that was the case. I need to do a little more research to see if that's a thing

[zealous glen]

If it’s not it’s also easy to check for

[edgy reef]

Guys look.

It works

And the "text in the corner" is gone (somehow, I've done literally nothing about text)

I should add a badge to this.

Nah, actually

No need

[unkempt thicket]

how do you remove suits, during runtime in 1.0.0?

[edgy reef]

wait not enough pluses, hold on

[hallow forge]

when making a challenge, should i ban blinds that don't effect anything at all in the context of the challenge.

[edgy reef]

There we go

[random sleet]

WOOOOO

[waxen turtle]

Anyone know why context.end_of_round appears to be triggering 3 times at the end of the round?

    key = "test",
    name = "My First Joker",
    rarity = 1,
    discovered = true,
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    cost = 2,
    config = {extra = {Xmult = 3}},
    loc_txt = {
        name = "My First Joker",
        text = {
            "{C:inactive}({C:mult}+#1#{C:inactive} XMult)"
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.Xmult}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round then
            card.ability.extra.Xmult = 1 + card.ability.extra.Xmult
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
            }
        end
    end,
    atlas = "jokers"
}

[edgy reef]

Because it's called 3 times. Once for jokers, once for cards, and once for repetition.

You'd need to specify the CardArea

adding and not context.individual and not context.repetition then to the end_of_round check should work

[waxen turtle]

thanks

[fast badge]

I wish I was called 3 times 😔

[olive shoal]

if i have an if statement like this is it possible to use lovely to inject another or condition into it? ive tried with no luck

[fast badge]

use the replace at

and just copy that line

and add your "or" part

and add it back

pattern = (what you just sent)

position = "at"

payload = (what you sent + your new or statement)

[spice scroll]

is there a way to alter how many joker slots a joker takes up

[zealous glen]

If it’s an “or” you can also inject before the end or any else and write elseif … then

[fast badge]

Not that I can think of, but maybe you could just check if 2 slots are available before adding, and decrease the size by 1 after its added, and then increase by 1 again if removed

[vivid eagle]

you could make it do the opposite of a negative i guess
"-1 joker slot"

[zealous glen]

but as an or it there are no further changes replacing the line with itself plus an or … is better

[zealous glen]

Some mod must’ve done it already

[spice scroll]

probably, yeah

[zealous glen]

To use as reference

[spice scroll]

i also had an idea for a joker today

[fast badge]

Does it start with 10 Mult or 0 Mult?

[spice scroll]

not sure, and id have to play around with the values to balance it

[zealous glen]

Interesting but the scaling seems too weak

[spice scroll]

but the idea is you just keep storing up power

[fast badge]

Yeah I was about to write it down

To see the scaling

[zealous glen]

The scaling is linear but the price is quadratic

[fast badge]

i linear until she quadratic

Balance-wise currently I mean

[fast badge]

mfw cryptid

[spice scroll]

oh yeah btw i created a github for cardsauce with a list of things i gotta figure out how to do/need help with

[zealous glen]

It does have a lot of cool synergies

I think it should be the same card that’s created in the shop so it inherits other buffs

[fast badge]

How hard would it be to have a mod, that holds both Steamodded versions 0.9.8 and 1.0.0 and checks if a mod failed to load with the one and tries with the other instead

[olive shoal]

how would i specify the end when there's so much ends in any given lua file really

im using the replace at but im not happy about it because it means if any other mod tries smth similar im boned

[fast badge]

Thats literally the case for any lua injection lol

[fast badge]

go look for the line before the end and use it as the pattern

then use position = "after"

[wintry solar]

No it’s not, you can totally inject multiple things at the same place

[fast badge]

Lua injections can always conflict in unexpected ways

[olive shoal]

still ambigious in my case because the line before the end in question is "end"

[wintry solar]

It depends what you’re injecting though

[zealous glen]

Then you don’t but as I said I think you can just inject into the condition itself if the contents don’t change

[wintry solar]

You can use regex to pattern match a series of lines

[spice scroll]

i love jsut completely messing something up

[sonic mortar]

[spice scroll]

aight cool i got it working

[fast mango]

is it possible to prevent glass cards from shattering?

[mossy robin]

Hello,
I'm creating a mod and I'd like to create a deck with infinite jokers but after the 4th joker bought, the ante scaling increase
Is there a way to increase ante scaling in the middle of the game?

[zealous glen]

If there isn’t you can add one

A lovely patch might make it easier to do

[mossy robin]

do you have an idea of how I can do that?

[zealous glen]

Probably but why

Make them shatter more

[fast mango]

i'm trynna make a joker that retriggers glass cards and keep em safe

[zealous glen]

There’s a function that computes the ante values. You’ll to change that, also probably change the UI in real time whenever the Joker count changes

[mossy robin]

ok, I'll try, thank you

[zealous glen]

Again I personally favor breaking them more but depending on what you want to do exactly you can change the variable that prepares Glass cards to be destroyed

[zealous glen]

For the UI you’ll want to see if the specific UI elements have names to find them, but also to test if they exist

[mossy robin]

so, I found how to modify the ante scaling ingame, but now, I need to re compute the blind score

[zealous glen]

I have some code that does it but not at hand

Actually I think I do the code is inside this I think

@mossy robin

[nocturne garnet]

what the fuck did i do wrong!!!

steamodded v1.0.0-alpha btw

[zealous glen]

You didn’t close some {

[nocturne garnet]

theres as many {s as }s

[fast badge]

nuh uh

[nocturne garnet]

it says specifically on line 65

[zealous glen]

It just returns a line where it thought there was an issue by assigning pairs of brackets

For example, {{{}}, which brackets are paired up? 1 and 5? 1 and 4? 2 and 4? 3 and 4? 3 and 5?

It assigns some pairs and returns one bracket it couldn’t match

[wintry solar]

its the card.ability.extra.Xmult right?

[nocturne garnet]

i assume

[wintry solar]

why is that in your return

[nocturne garnet]

wait

[fast badge]

doesnt it need vars= or am i mixing things up

[wintry solar]

return {
  Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult
}```

I think

[fast badge]

Ok so, I tryed your code and I have this error

)`

[nocturne garnet]

ty!!!

[zealous glen]

As I said, you need to check that the UI exists

but you can omit the part that updates the UI for now, probably

[mossy robin]

how do you do that?

[mossy robin]

the error comes from this ligne
local new_chips = math.floor(G.GAME.blind.chips * IJnewantescaling)

[zealous glen]

You can use if object then … end

[zealous glen]

Oh that’s not even the UI

That’s just if you’re currently in a Blind

[mossy robin]

ye but it crashs my game on start

the UI part is good

[zealous glen]

I mean you know you can just no do it

Or again you can check if it exists before doing it

[fallen tendon]

so i uh have this joker and its supposed to scale in xmult when consumables are used and decrease when the shop is rerolled, and that part works fine, but any time it creates the little effect for xmult triggers it just says ERROR

    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.using_consumeable and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.xmultgain
            return {
                message = localize{type='variable',key='a_xmult',vars={card.ability.x_mult}},
                colour = G.C.MULT,
                card = card
            }
        end
        if context.reroll_shop and not context.blueprint then
            if card.ability.extra.xmult ~= 1 then
                card.ability.extra.xmult = math.max(1,card.ability.extra.xmult - card.ability.extra.xmultloss)
                return {
                    message = localize{type='variable',key='x_mult_minus',vars={card.ability.extra.xmultloss}},
                    colour = G.C.RED,
                    card = card
                }
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            if card.ability.extra.xmult ~= 1 then
                return {
                    message = localize{type='variable',key='x_mult',vars={card.ability.extra.xmult}},
                    mult_mod = card.ability.extra.xmult
                }
            end
        end
    end
}

anyone know what's happening

also just realized the adding and subtracting mult messages aren't happening either

[edgy reef]

You're not using the correct localization key

iirc x_mult doesn't exist

[fallen tendon]

i changed it and it still doesnt work

[edgy reef]

that's... also not a key that exists.

[fallen tendon]

whats a key that does?

[edgy reef]

a_xmult

[fallen tendon]

oh

[edgy reef]

You can check localization/lang file to see all the base game localization keys

Or search through the code for times when the localize function is used.

[zealous glen]

Coding isn’t magic

[fallen tendon]

yeah im not stupid

[vivid eagle]

@fast badge this is literally the only code in the mod lol

from what autumn said, i have to use the take ownership call on the other spectral cards so smod registers them

[fast badge]

ah yes

ill do it later

[vivid eagle]

thank youuu

now
off to bed i go

[fast badge]

gngn

[fallen tendon]

they were orignally going to all be editioned and sealed too

it appears playing cryptid has completely destroyed my sense of game balance

[mellow sable]

who needs game balance

[mossy robin]

How can I make an event fire if an other event fire?

[mossy robin]

I want to attach a function to the new_round() function

[zealous glen]

What do you mean

[tepid egret]

sorry if this question has been asked a million times but you cant load .dlls with with steamodded right?

[mossy robin]

so, when a round start (the function new_round is called)
I want to call my own function

[zealous glen]

You can hook

[mossy robin]

ooooh

thx, I'll try

[nocturne garnet]

does the break_positions context not work on steamodded 1.0.0-alpha

because my joker needs it to function

and so i checked on Bunco mod's Joker Knight

and it doesnt have a negative side effect anymore so im assuming its just broken

[night pagoda]

this is a custom context lmao

it doesn't exist in the base game

[nocturne garnet]

OH

im so stupid lmao

[fast badge]

Can I grab a list of all spectral packs and iterate over them?

Also, how can I remove the Mod badge from a joker for example?

speaking 0.9.8

[maiden phoenix]

Adding more evolution cond

[fast badge]

P_CENTER_POOLS i assume

[austere schooner]

would it be possible to have using a specific spectral card force an evolution on a random joker and have that be the only way to do it
since if so i might be able to get my mod idea back off the ground

[maiden phoenix]

Yea Ig so

[nocturne garnet]

is there a way to check whether or not your jokers have been rearranged

[fast badge]

What exactly are you trying to achieve

[nocturne garnet]

joker that gains mult/chips/Xmult when jokers are rearranged once per round

[fast badge]

You could save the ordering of the jokers in context.setting_blind, and then in the context.joker_main (when it calculates it's scoring) you can check if it has changed. if yes, increase the mult, and also add a boolean that tells you "increased already", and that boolean you only reset when entering a new round (context.setting_blind)

[nocturne garnet]

thats basically what i tried doing

problem is i dont now where to find the ordering of the jokers

if its just how the G.jokers table is arranged then im just confused on something

[fast badge]

in Lua, tables aren't sorted

they dont persist their ordering

[nocturne garnet]

OH.

no wonder goddamn

cant find where to find the ordering of the jokers

i tried looking for brainstorm code but its just G.jokers[1]

[fast badge]

You'd have to ask someone more advanced in Lua on how to make sure to go through them by order, maybe using ipairs or iterating using the index, I don't know

[unkempt thicket]

how do you add code to decks in 1.0.0?

[wintry solar]

ipairs(G.jokers) should go through them in the order they are afaik

[fast badge]

that'd be my first try too

[tepid egret]

did you find a fix for this?

[mellow sable]

https://github.com/OceanRamen/Brainstorm
You can see it working here

[tepid egret]

thx

[royal ether]

chat i am so barack

[hallow forge]

Welcome back

[royal ether]

thanks

[edgy reef]

@brisk pond (moving here since this is related to mod debugging) you should be able to do this and replace the self.effect.config.spectral_rate stuff with G.CerloMod.Milk_Used = 0

[brisk pond]

Added this piece and it now works

[edgy reef]

You don't need to return true btw

[brisk pond]

it works
I won't change it

[mossy robin]

does anyone tryed to overide any of the base game function to make something work?

[unkempt thicket]

i think im doing this wrong

game is loading but nothing is happening

[zealous glen]

Yes but hooking or injecting are better practices

[mossy robin]

can you inject code in an already existing function?

[zealous glen]

Yes that’s exactly what injection is good for

[mossy robin]

how can you do that?

[zealous glen]

Lovely

[mossy robin]

lovely rewrite the majority of the game no?

[zealous glen]

No

Lovely just allows you to inject

[mossy robin]

how do you inject some code into an already existing function with lovely?

[zealous glen]

You need the file it is defined in, some way to locate the line you want to inject into, and… that’s basically it

[mossy robin]

oooooh

oki

[zealous glen]

By some way I mean one of the two ways lovely gives you to do that

[mossy robin]

I found that the easiest way to do that with lovely, it's to hook to the function and the overide it

[fallen tendon]

that feeling when you are stummped for 15 minutes only to find out you are missing a then after an if

[mossy robin]

or just a ,

[zealous glen]

You mean to introduce a hook in the middle of the function?

[mossy robin]

to do that
`local original_set_blind = G.GAME.blind.set_blind

G.GAME.blind.set_blind = lovely.hook(original_set_blind,{
after = function ()
if G.GAME.starting_params.UwU_infinitejoker then
self.chips = get_blind_amount(G.GAME.round_resets.ante)self.multG.GAME.starting_params.ante_scaling*IJantescaling
self.chip_text = number_format(self.chips)
end
end

})`

welp, it doesn't work XD

[wintry solar]

have you even looked at the lovely docs?

[mossy robin]

nooo >w<

XD

[zealous glen]

Copy-pasting code from one place to another will likely not help

Unless you understand what the code does and what you’d rather it do instead

[mossy robin]

the thing is that I don't know where the lovely doc is

[wintry solar]

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector/tree/v0.5.0-beta5

[mossy robin]

I just found that I'm trying to modify a function which is not even used XD

[mossy robin]

thx

ok, the game starts

[fallen tendon]

i will never understand why a lua injector is written in rust

[mossy robin]

IT FRICKING WOOOORKS!!!

thank you @zealous glen and @wintry solar for helping me

[random sleet]

uhhhh

pretty sure ethereal tags exist

[stray warren]

Cause rust is the best

[fallen tendon]

you have 3 days to live

[zealous glen]

was the name tag_ethereal

[random sleet]

yes that is the key for the ethereal tag

#1247528518842191971 message i did a workaround tho :P

[zealous glen]

I wonder if this is a steamodded bug @frosty dock ?

[edgy reef]

I do know that the Steamodded API takes ownerships of some objects so that they work.

[random sleet]

it probably has to do with tags not being centers

and not being in G.P_CENTERS specifically

[edgy reef]

I wonder if we should add a condition for Steamodded taking ownership of objects so that when other mods want to take ownership of it they're not obstructed.

[random sleet]

take ownership isnt obstructed

you can do multiple take ownerships

[edgy reef]

Oh? I thought they were

[random sleet]

mods past the first are added as "dependencies"

you can have 200 mods take ownership of the same thing, and it all works out. granted, any conflicts between them might cause problems

e.g. if two of them modify the atlas

only the last one to load will function

[mossy robin]

what is the most balanced way of modifying the chips of the blind for a deck with infinite joker?

if #G.jokers.cards > 5 then
IJantescaling = math.log(#G.jokers.cards,2) - math.log(5,2) + 1
end

or

if #G.jokers.cards > 5 then
IJantescaling = math.sqrt(#G.jokers.cards) - math.sqrt(5) + 1
end

[random sleet]

#⚙・modding-general message here is from aure implementing this

[sturdy glen]

Would a legendary joker that makes it so you can play 6 cards instead of 5 be possible?

(i know atleast if it is it would be a lot of work adding in new poker hands, planets, and a lot more...)

[crisp coral]

yes

[stray warren]

So I know G.jokers is for the jokers area, but what is it for cards that are in a buffoon pack?

I've been debug messaging for a while now with no luck trying to find it

[crisp coral]

G.pack_cards i think

or something similar

[fallen tendon]

huh, so thats how you make a fallback consumable

doesnt fix thew stupid everything is a duplicate bug but it's a start

[stray warren]

Ok, so is there a way to access the cardarea of a certain joker in this function function Card:generate_UIBox_ability_table()? It doesn't have context as a parameter

like the calculate_joker function does

[fallen tendon]

so ive been looking through the steamodded code to find out what the bug could be and i think ive narrowed it down to this

if SMODS.ConsumableTypes[_type] and SMODS.ConsumableTypes[_type].default and G.P_CENTERS[SMODS.ConsumableTypes[_type].default] then
    _pool[#_pool+1] = SMODS.ConsumableTypes[_type].default

this is the code that makes it go to the fallback consumable

[crisp coral]

you can loop through the area and check if v == self

[fallen tendon]

actually maybe not

i genuinely cant tell

im unsure of what G.ARGS.TEMP_POOL is in the games code

gahhhhhh i cannot understand why this stupid bug is happening

seriously why is this stupid function such spaghetti code

i can barely understand it

[crisp coral]

thunk moment

[fallen tendon]

i literally cant find out where the hell the section that culls duplicates is

this comment isnt being very descriptive

considering its for all of this and then even more

[stray warren]

I'll try that, thanks

Ok, so it looks like I can just check if self.area == G.pack_cards. I didn't realize Card had it's own area field. That's good to know

[fallen tendon]

this STUPID bug is unfixable

why is everything a stupid duplicate??????

[zealous glen]

Do also look at how Steamodded injects into it presumably

[brisk pond]

i'm adding a Tarot that discards all cards from hand. What is the function for it?

[zealous glen]

What function for what

[fast badge]

Discarding cards ig?

[brisk pond]

Like Hanged Man, but without removing the cards from the deck and with all the cards of the hand

you just discard the whole hand

[zealous glen]

What part don’t you know

[zealous glen]

You can search the game’s code for how cards are discarded

[frosty dock]

first thing you should think of is if there's a vanilla functionality that does this

[brisk pond]

not other than the "Discard" button

but I can't find it in the game files

[frosty dock]

There's also The Hook

[zealous glen]

If only there was a word describing the action of discarding one could search for in the files

[brisk pond]

maybe I can tweek this part to make it so that all cards are table.remove'd

[zealous glen]

Wrong part

If only there was a function in that screenshot that could “discard cards from” somewhere

[frosty dock]

the parts that are important to you are add_to_highlighted and discard_cards_from_highlighted

[sturdy glen]

i found the discard mechanic (i think) in cardarea.lua while looking for something else might be wrong sorry if am

    if not self.cards then return end
    local _cards = discarded_only and {} or self.cards
    if discarded_only then 
        for k, v in ipairs(self.cards) do
            if v.ability and v.ability.discarded then 
                _cards[#_cards+1] = v
            end
        end
    end
    if self.config.type == 'discard' or self.config.type == 'deck' then
        card = card or _cards[#_cards]
    else
        card = card or _cards[1]
    end
    for i = #self.cards,1,-1 do
        if self.cards[i] == card then
            card:remove_from_area()
            table.remove(self.cards, i)
            self:remove_from_highlighted(card, true)
            break
        end
    end```

[brisk pond]

I fully didn't see that one lmao

[fast badge]

🤔

[brisk pond]

don't understand why in the first loop it is "for k, v". Why 2 variables?

[zealous glen]

For the key and the respective value in the table

[zealous glen]

I don’t think that’s it. That removes cards from a CardArea

It’s related but separate from discarding.

Any kind of movement between two CardAreas is treated by the game as a “draw”, so the actual function that moves cards would be something like “draw from hand to discard”, though there’s like 3 or 4 different draw functions inside that one

It also doesn’t help drawing also refers to drawing images on the screen

[frosty dock]

moment

[zealous glen]

So the code has a couple of different functions that refer to two different kinds of card drawing

[zealous glen]

Treating everything as a draw makes sense, all the helper functions are reasonable, the two completely different types of drawing are unfortunate but I do think it could be avoided

[brisk pond]

I tried with this code and it freezes like this when I use the card, like in an infinite loop

do I need to add table.remove() in some way?

[zealous glen]

You didn’t tell the game the event ended

Compare how both yours and the Hook’s event end

[sturdy glen]

where can i find how the game limits how many card you can play in the code? i am currently looking in common_events but idk if this is the wrong file...

[zealous glen]

I think MystJokers might help?

[crisp coral]

CardArea.add_to_highlighted

[sturdy glen]

i wanted to change the played card limit from 5 to 6 if you have the specific joker

[crisp coral]

oh right there are two

that and G.FUNCS.can_play

[sturdy glen]

got it, ty

found it in button_callbacks

[crisp coral]

has anyone checked if undiscovered cards display properly in 1.0.0?

[maiden phoenix]

They do

[crisp coral]

hm

modded ones also do?

[maiden phoenix]

Oh from my experience modded ones does

Didn't try with vanilla

[crisp coral]

ewe

[frosty dock]

bruh there's a literal undiscovered sprite API

I'm not sure how I should have even tried to break vanilla undiscovered cards

[crisp coral]

i wrote my shit incorrectly so i wanted to ask to double check

[frosty dock]

understandable

[nocturne garnet]

would this be sorta balanced

i was gonna make it so that it changes whenever it is rearranged but i didnt know how

and realized this would make more sense

[fast badge]

how is it getting triggered though

[nocturne garnet]

when the hand is played

[zealous glen]

Someone made that recently

[nocturne garnet]

who

[fast badge]

we told you how 🙏🏻

[nocturne garnet]

joker never gets triggered no way!!!!!

[nocturne garnet]

i am stupid okay 🙏

[fast badge]

https://tenor.com/view/church-baby-praise-worship-feel-the-spirit-gif-15225541

[nocturne garnet]

wait

oh my god i might just have been stupid

eh this new concept is better

[fallen tendon]

has anyone figured out how to use the custom sound api in steamodded

it hasn't exactly been working for me

[frosty dock]

which one?

[fallen tendon]

literally register_sound_global()

i dont know where the hell to put it and anywhere i put it chaos happens

steamodded reeeeally needs more documentation

[honest elbow]

ahh I hate getting softlocked

well or hardlocked

[fallen tendon]

dont we all

[honest elbow]

whatever its called

[frosty dock]

1.0 sound API is integrated into the new API system, it's just that sound.lua isn't deleted yet because of insufficient testing

[frosty dock]

it's more or less the bottleneck of getting 1.0 released at this point

I'm on it when I can, but I'm currently sick in case you haven't heard

I don't have anyone else who writes these for me 💀

[fallen tendon]

i know

[frosty dock]

bro didn't wanna waste a word, huh

something like "Get well soon" can't be too much to ask for tbh

[maiden phoenix]

Do you actually need help? Not sure how I can be useful

[frosty dock]

I don't think asking others to document my code for me is something I'd want to do, but ty for the offer

[tepid egret]

Get well soon

[mellow sable]

Get well soon!

[frosty dock]

thanks :)

[sturdy glen]

How do you use process_loc_text correctly? I need to take control of the amount of cards you can play.

[fast badge]

process_loc_text is for the localization of text and not controlling the amount of cards you can play..?

[sturdy glen]

no i want to take over the part after process_loc_text

[fast badge]

what

[sturdy glen]

its from base game code and i thought i needed to localize it for my ability to work

[nocturne garnet]

how do you change values in text?
trying to change the (Currently x time(s)) but i have no idea how

[fast badge]

loc_vars

or loc_def

depending on your version

[nocturne garnet]

alright but

how do you use it

[fast badge]

placeholder in your loc txt and the return in the loc_vars fills it

[nocturne garnet]

well fuck

my text has multiple values per row and i think it broke because of that??

[zealous glen]

Wrong syntax

[nocturne garnet]

wharg

[zealous glen]

#n# where n is the n-th value

[nocturne garnet]

OH

i didnt understand how it worked

ty

ty it works now!!!!!!

[wintry solar]

if there's a lovely injection that replaces a line, can I use that new line as a pattern?

[edgy reef]

Don’t think so

[fallen tendon]

omg so sorry, get well soon

[frosty dock]

ty 💀

[frosty dock]

I don't see how these things relate... process_loc_text is for feeding in text that is meant to be displayed in-game in one or more languages

[tepid egret]

is there currently way to get the profile_tabRef?

to edit the profile selector

[tepid egret]

oh i found it it was G.UIDEF.profile_option(_profile)

[nocturne garnet]

i've been making okay-ish jokers really quick

god forbid the amazing digital is clown...

[maiden phoenix]

X being in front of the number triggers me

[nocturne garnet]

wait what the fuck why is it there

[austere schooner]

regional difference

i think

some people say "two times x", some people say "x times two"

[nocturne garnet]

how the hell do you use G.GAME.chips

i thought it was a number

why is it a table

[sonic mortar]

are you using talisman?

[nocturne garnet]

ya

steamodded 1.0.0

-alpha

[mellow sable]

Talisman makes it a table

Because it’s a BigNumber now

[nocturne garnet]

oh

i see

[mellow sable]

It works fine with numbers too just comparisons will break

[nocturne garnet]

so how should i get the chips

[mellow sable]

You’d need to do something like:
Big and Big(x) < Big(y) or x < y

Anything besides comparisons should just work

With both types mixed

[crisp coral]

talisman support scary

[mellow sable]

I wish Lua just let you do this

[nocturne garnet]

erm

whar.........

all i wanted to do was make a chip multiplier......

[mellow sable]

Then you don’t need to touch anything

[nocturne garnet]

i tried but uh

didnt work

[mellow sable]

What was the error?

[nocturne garnet]

gimme a sec

[nocturne garnet]

i probably did something stupid

[mellow sable]

Check if Big exists and wrap it around a Big:new(<equation>):to_number() if it does

[hallow forge]

Did you use two dots instead of one?

[mellow sable]

:to_string() my bad

[nocturne garnet]

i assume for vars{} then?

[crisp coral]

[mellow sable]

Yep

Actually there’s a better solution

[nocturne garnet]

and do you mean tostring() instead of to_string() or is it just something i didnt know about

[mellow sable]

Wrap it around number_format()

It’ll work with and without Talisman and you don’t need any checks for it

[nocturne garnet]

it works now, ty!!!!

[long gust]

that's not how x is functioning in this context

x is the times.

[sonic mortar]

it's one card... or is it?

[crisp coral]

hm how do you do formatting with strings in loc_vars

[slow ocean]

get well immediately wtf

we dont pay you to be sick

[unkempt thicket]

we get paid?!?

[tawny perch]

maybe i should ask people to pay me for my 9 hours of work next time

[hallow forge]

you are payed in balatro dollars

[tawny perch]

epic

[hallow forge]

I should probably make another mod, Blackjack Hands went pretty well.

[brisk pond]

Now the consumable works, but it only discards 5 cards and not the whole hand

[crisp coral]

because you can only select 5 cards to highlighted

[zealous glen]

What she said

[brisk pond]

So I should be doing something like this?

I don't know if there is a way

[zealous glen]

Can’t the order operator be extended to work with this? Or is it literally a table and not an object that just looks like a table?

[crisp coral]

you might want to look into G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted

[zealous glen]

I think reimplementing that would be unnecessary, so I’m trying to think of a good hook or injection one could make into that function

Besides an API hook for Steamodded that adds a new argument, I’m not sure what else could be a good option besides either injecting to use a new global parameter or doing what they suggested

I think the global parameter is slightly less likely to break things

[crisp coral]

well you either reimplement discard or you remove highlight limit

[zealous glen]

I mean, there are different ways to remove it, is what I’m saying

[crisp coral]

hm yeah just set a global var

[frosty dock]

start paying me then wtf

[fast badge]

Here, have this
Earn +3$ per line coded

[zealous glen]

*starts coding \NL*

[maiden phoenix]

You get paid in pings and complains sorry I dont make the rules

[frosty dock]

what's this then

how many pings would I need to even start getting paid 💀

[vivid eagle]

elloo
anyone know what the key is for the soul crystal?

im just adding one.. ""final"" addition to the trans mod

[hallow forge]

1.0e7.9e23

[frosty dock]

wdym? the key of the soul card itself is c_soul

the crystal is a floating sprite

[fast badge]

I was about to say this

ill aure strikes again

[vivid eagle]

its for the 1.0.0 version

[fast badge]

Still

[frosty dock]

iunno doesn't seem doable before the heat death of the universe

[fast badge]

the stone does not have its own key / sprite

[vivid eagle]

i got the soul card changed just fine 👍

[fast badge]

Yay

[vivid eagle]

oh really?

[fast badge]

its linked to the soul card

[frosty dock]

the weird thing with The Soul is that it doesn't actually have a soul_pos

[fast badge]

mfw

[vivid eagle]

so it doesnt even have an object type eh?

[hallow forge]

Precisely

[frosty dock]

for this one, you need to mess with a shared sprite

[fast badge]

^

[frosty dock]

since it gets initialized before steamodded loads, just overriding G.shared_soul should be fine

[vivid eagle]

sorry, how do i override G.shared_soul?

[fast badge]

G.shared_soul = (your sprite)

[brisk pond]

how would you write it?

[mellow sable]

Lua doesn’t let you compare metatables with other types

[vivid eagle]

the game crashed when i went to the spectral card menu with the soul card on it xd

[frosty dock]

what'd you assign to shared_soul?

[vivid eagle]

the Enhancers png

[frosty dock]

I mean like the exact code

[vivid eagle]

oh sorry
G.shared_soul = "Enhancers-TSpectrals.png"

[frosty dock]

yeah no, it's meant to be a Sprite

[vivid eagle]

oh a sprite is a different thing?

i see
sorry, i have no coding knowledge whatsoever

[frosty dock]

G.shared_soul = Sprite(0, 0, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, G.ASSET_ATLAS["centers"], G.P_CENTERS.soul.pos)

should do fine

on second thought, G.shared_soul:reset() is probably good enough

[vivid eagle]

aww it didnt work

do i add anything else to the code?

[frosty dock]

"it didn't work" is never specific enough...

[vivid eagle]

oh the sprite didnt change
the soul crystal is still using the vanilla one

[frosty dock]

I don't even know which one of the two things I suggested you tried...

[vivid eagle]

i tried both of them, sorry

[frosty dock]

wait

are you replacing the vanilla spritesheets at all?

if not, you need to give it your own atlas

[vivid eagle]

is the spritesheet different from atlas?

[frosty dock]

no

[vivid eagle]

this is the asset im using for the centers

should i show you the code im using?

[frosty dock]

yeah

[vivid eagle]

this is the relevant code for sprite swapping that im using

[wintry solar]

Omg white text editors

[fast badge]

my eyes are burning

[wintry solar]

I didn’t know people unironically used those

[vivid eagle]

too lazy to change it xd

im not a coder

[fast badge]

that is NOT an excuse to burn your eyes ‼️

[frosty dock]

ah I see, you need to replace centers G.ASSET_ATLAS["centers"] with the correct key for the relevant atlas then

[vivid eagle]

ah! okay
so G.shared_soul = Sprite(0, 0, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, G.ASSET_ATLAS["TransCenters"], G.P_CENTERS.soul.pos)
like this?

actually, i should just try it first

[fast badge]

Is it in the same position as with the normal atlas? Then yes

otherwise G.P_CENTERS.soul.pos will be the wrong position

[vivid eagle]

the game crashed 😭

[fast badge]

mfw

[frosty dock]

you didn't account for the mod prefix, I think

[crisp elbow]

Am I registering for trying to find a flush properly? I feel likemy main concern when it comes to the calc is probably around the self.ability.extra.poker_hand part
https://hastebin.com/share/diqepewaho.lua

[frosty dock]

There's a few things to note here

[crisp elbow]

I will gladly take any notes

first time coding in balator logic

[frosty dock]

First, you need to limit the context of your calculate function or it will literally run all the time, so wrap everything in

if context.joker_main then

end

you then need to check, also from context, whether a flush is contained

you'll want to use context.poker_hands for this - it contains a table for each poker hand

you need to confirm that table contains something to know if that hand type is contained

So you might extend your check like

if context.joker_main and next(context.poker_hands[self.ability.extra.poker_hand]) then

end

next there's the issue that you can't have more than one eval status text be returned from your calculate function

[crisp elbow]

NODDERS

so how would I return both mult and chips?

[frosty dock]

there's this helper function

while it's bundled into steamodded 1.0, you have to include it yourself in 0.9.8

[crisp coral]

eval_this.png

[frosty dock]

you can give it the card, message and mult_mod or chip_mod and return the other, or use it once for each

[crisp elbow]

So would I be able to implement this code higher up in my script and then refer to it later on? Like taking eval_this and plugging in (j_conniving_joker, mult = 80) or whatever

Sorry if I'm asking a lot of questions still a bit eepy

[frosty dock]

you'd give it self as its first argument, then whatever you would otherwise return, something like { mult_mod = 80, message = { key = 'a_mult', ... }

Joker evo update, I got 10 evolved jokers done, need to add more evo conds for the API and do some spriting

[vivid eagle]

how do i do that?

also sorry for replying late
went out to eat

[tepid egret]

yo guys how do i properly get a ref to the Game:update(dt) function

[zealous glen]

local update_ref = Game.update?

[tepid egret]

ye thanks i already found it, but its much appreciated, new to lua n stuff

[nocturne garnet]

apparently if the number is above 1000, chips becomes string?

goddamnit

cant even use G.GAME.chips without atleast one problem

all i wanted to do was make a chips multiplier...............................

[fast mango]

how do we make custom tooltips? I can assign an existing tooltip but when I try to add my own to G.localization.descriptions.Other i just get "error" on the tooltip

what's the scope for
G.localization.descriptions.Other['my_key'] = { name = 'My tooltip', text = { 'Fancy text, and', 'even more fancy text.', 'Var 1: {C:attention}#1#' -- this will display 10 } }

[frosty dock]

depends on the Steamodded version

[fast mango]

the most recent one

the wiki isn't updated 😢

[frosty dock]

1.0 alpha or 0.9.8? that was not of help

[fast mango]

alpha

[frosty dock]

I'll try to get it done soon, I'm sorry 💀

I'm currently sick so I can't do much

you need to put it inside this

[fast mango]

it's okay man haha

[frosty dock]

function SMODS.current_mod.process_loc_text()

end

[unkempt thicket]

progress👍

[fast mango]

tysm!

[frosty dock]

adding that was needed due to the language API requiring and additional reload of localization

np

[remote coral]

Did you hear about the disaster with the orchestra?

||It was treble||

[nocturne garnet]

me when 2,808 instead of 2808 😔

how do i find the goddamn chips!!!!

[mellow sable]

type(<chips>) == 'table' and (<chips>):to_number() or <chips>

where <chips> is whatever expression you use for the chip calculation

@nocturne garnet

[nocturne garnet]

ill try

[tepid egret]

Anybody know how to check for the current stake of the run??

[hallow forge]

poker reverse card.

[mellow sable]

nice

[hallow forge]

although this has a few function overrides which mess with the function logic it may be hard to make this compatible with other mods

this is a blackjack

[mellow sable]

6+4+2+2+7=21

[hallow forge]

indeed

Splash + uno poker cards is OP

[unreal nacelle]

Why is a Reverse counted as a 7? XD

[wooden nexus]

probably is put between 7 and 8

[unreal nacelle]

Fair point. I mean, with +2s and +4s, that at least makes sense.

Also, just imagine having Splash, then playing a 4oaK hand with four +4s and a Reverse at the end. +32 in card advantage

[hallow forge]

Which number should I use?

[unreal nacelle]

I mean, I wasn't saying it was a bad thing that Reverses were 7s. If anything, I would've thought that they'd be treated as 3s

[hallow forge]

Not too sure what to do for skips tho

[zealous glen]

Tag?

[hallow forge]

Not that kind of skip

[hallow forge]

Skip rank

[hallow forge]

Just had an idea, I’m thinking end the hand and give you the 1 hand back (as in your amount of hands per round)

[zealous glen]

That's the joke

[stray warren]

Am I doing something wrong? I'm trying to create a custom info box, but I keep getting this error. Here's the code:

local generate_UIBox_ability_table_ref = Card.generate_UIBox_ability_table
function Card:generate_UIBox_ability_table()
    local generate_UIBox_ability_table_val = generate_UIBox_ability_table_ref(self)
    local info = generate_UIBox_ability_table_val.info

    if self.ability and self.ability.set == 'Joker' then
        info[#info + 1] = {
            {
                {
                    {
                        config = {
                            scale = 0.32,
                            colour = {
                                0.1,
                                0.1,
                                0.1,
                                1
                            },
                            text = tostring(self.sell_cost)
                        },
                        n = G.UIT.T
                    },
                },
                name = "Sell Value"
            }
        }
    end
    return generate_UIBox_ability_table_val
end

[sturdy glen]

how can i make this basegame code local for my joker? (process_loc_text is my part i saw someone else use it but im not using it correctly...)

[unreal nacelle]

Maybe Skips could be your 8s?

[fallen tendon]

day 395 of patiently waiting for someone to figure out how the hell you use the sound api

[elfin nimbus]

How would I go about checking if a specific Joker triggered its ability?

[shell tangle]

I've gotten this to work through just overwriting the entire function from the source code in a lua file, so I know this part at least works, however, whenever I tried to move it into a .TOML file, it seems to just not apply. Anyone have any ideas? Alpha steamodded, and lovely 0.5. It also throws an error whenever I get rid of the "match_indent", however, the patch counter to the file I'm writing to doesn't seem to change when it's added or removed.

[frosty dock]

what even is that syntactically...?

[fast badge]

🤔💭

[fast badge]

hyptothetically....

[frosty dock]

we should not repeat this hyperbolically

[crisp coral]

no more

[fast badge]

but technically?

[frosty dock]

annoyingly

I will not engage furtherly

[fast badge]

accidentally?

[fast badge]

tbh i dont get whats so funny about thisly

[spice scroll]

anyone know how context.other_joker works lol

wanna get a joker to trigger something when a specific other joker is in your slots

[fast badge]

You should probably just iterate over all jokers and check if its there ig

[spice scroll]

well i figured id use baseball card as a blueprint

and that uses context.other_joker

[fast badge]

Aha

[fast badge]

It looks like it just iterates over all other jokers

so youd check for if context.other_joker.ability.name == <xyz> i guess

[spice scroll]

which file are you on where youre seeing what it does?

[fast badge]

card.lua

[spice scroll]

would context.other_joker.config.center.name work? not seeing where context.other_joker has children

or whatever theyd be called

i forgor 💀

[fast badge]

^

[spice scroll]

yeah i saw but the way my jokers are set up they dont rly have ability names like the vanilla ones do

[fast badge]

Well you should

It's the normal way jokers are handled

If you don't that'll ensure that your mod is compatible with like, 0 other mods

[spice scroll]

dang

but also

i just got it working LMAO

[fast badge]

mfw

[frosty dock]

that's where you're wrong

literally the entire reason we use keys for everything is because names are prone to overlaps, causing deadly incompatibilities

[crisp coral]

the piggy bank incident

[frosty dock]

i don't even a way you could have been more wrong there nether

(I'll admit the game sometimes expects a name to exist and has freaked out for no reason)

but that's beyond the point

[fast badge]

🤓 ☝🏻

[frosty dock]

[fast badge]

Just saying that it might kill itself due to nil values

[frosty dock]

it doesn't

[fast badge]

shut

no Döner for you

[frosty dock]

names are, by definition, not keys

[frosty dock]

good for me, I didn't want one anyways

[fast badge]

nerd

[frosty dock]

no u

[crisp coral]

here we go again sigh
