[tepid eagle]

world's shittiest lifeguard

[hardy viper]

in short: https://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/
in long: nobody here can help you if you barely know the language you're coding in and struggle to follow the help you're given

[torn grove]

you think that's bad, well lucky cat aint allowed in until a lucky card exists!

[hardy viper]

so real

[split creek]

Does anyone know how to make a consumable open a pack?

[torn grove]

now what happened here

[zealous glen]

The stupid way is to create a tag that opens the pack

There’s probably a direct way but also the game might not be prepared to swap to the pack state from any other arbitrary state

Hence why tags wait to open at a state that makes sense

[zealous glen]

I’m gonna guess a missing comma or somesuch the line before

[rough furnace]

Honesy I thibk this is my favourite image in this channel

[torn grove]

should the comma go here? I mean I tried it and got the same error.

[zealous glen]

No

[torn grove]

ok

[elder vapor]

am i cooking with the art

[wintry solar]

I’d be surprised if there wasn’t already one tbh

[zealous glen]

It’s a bit empty

[zealous glen]

Also not sure about the tooltip being “Ruby Gem Slot” instead of “Ruby “ or “Ruby Gemstone” or whatever

[torn grove]

I've tried deleting the entire check_for_unlock function but then it still does the error

[wintry solar]

Either go and study some mods that do work, or go and learn how to code

[elder vapor]

not finished, just seeing what i have in-game

[tepid eagle]

then your art cooking-ness is yet to be determined

[elder vapor]

tooltip is right

[wintry solar]

I think the red in the background of the text could do with being a different shade, it’s all very very red for me

[fathom raven]

Im out of town and need some help. Can anyone find the file for the suits and ranks of cards so I can make some custom ones? I need to know what the base looks like so I can follow the style

[hardy viper]

can only be done cleanly outside of a round
takes a lot more work if you already have cards in G.play

[torn grove]

ok

No seriously, I genuinely don't know where to start, it's just an equals symbol

[weary jungle]

what is just an equals symbol?

[hardy viper]

i guarantee there's something 5 lines up that easily explains the problem

[torn grove]

Hmm... so where's the culprit?

[rough furnace]

Its not in a table

[wintry solar]

Line 102

Which to anyone who knows what they’re looking at is painfully obvious

[hardy viper]

im so done

[weary jungle]

why is my code not working? the devious close bracket:

[torn grove]

i may be stupid

[zealous glen]

Right of what

[elder vapor]

label name

[zealous glen]

I mean I don’t think it sounds good

“Ruby Gem Slot” to me sounds like a Slot that can only take Ruby Gems

And the Slot itself grants an ability

Rather than a Gem Slot with a Ruby Gem granting an ability

[torn grove]

still saying there's something wrong with this equals?

[elder vapor]

hmmm

[torn grove]

is there another devious close bracket again

[elder vapor]

i had it as Gem Slot (Ruby) before

that better?

[zealous glen]

Missing comma at the very least

[zealous glen]

Why can’t it just be “Ruby”

The card already says you need a Gem Slot

[torn grove]

I don't see where it would be though

[zealous glen]

Before loc_vars

[torn grove]

thanks

wait nvm, it says there's an error

[zealous glen]

Ah, maybe it wasn’t the comma

I thought everything was inside a table

Or maybe there are mismatched brackets again

[tepid eagle]

this bracket should be not there

[weary jungle]

if it works how i think it works, i would name it ruby slot, and the gemstone should be in the description or something

[zealous glen]

I disagree because it’s the Ruby in the Slot that grants the effect, and it doesn’t seem like Slots can only receive a specific type of Gemstone

[tepid eagle]

the tooltip saying "Ruby Gem Slot" is like if the tooltip for a joker said "Holographic Card Edition Slot" instead of "Holographic"

[zealous glen]

Perfect analogy

@elder vapor

[elder vapor]

hmm

[torn grove]

???

[elder vapor]

i'll shorten it to just the gem

[tepid eagle]

you know that red scary bracket you deleted way earlier

try putting that one back

[zealous glen]

https://tenor.com/view/nichijou-break-dancing-gif-26300217

[torn grove]

now what?

[tepid eagle]

that was not in fact what i was talking about

this one

[hardy viper]

config = { extra = {slots = 2}}

that's how you're meant to structure a config

[torn grove]

ohh

thanks! it works now

[wintry solar]

config = { extra = 2 } works fine too

[torn grove]

when I spawn string theory it gives me this error

*spawn with DebugPlus

?

[wintry solar]

how about you read the error and try and solve the problem without any help

[torn grove]

okay

[tepid eagle]

please note that asking the people here to basically do everything for you is not an effective way to learn how to mod balatro, especially since there are like 5 people who are all saying different things every time

[torn grove]

okay

it works! all I needed to do was add .slots to the end of G.jokers.config.card_limit

[tepid eagle]

hooray!

[torn grove]

yippee!

Genuine question: How do I make something spawn a spectral card when blind is selected?

and how do I make a joker reduce hand size

[tepid sky]

look at jokers that do that already (or ones that add handsize and just do the oppeside of that)

[tepid sky]

NLM got a joker that does that :D

[torn grove]

ok

[torn grove]

i'm lost

I've got the -1 hand size working, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of the spectral card creating.

hmm

[hybrid iris]

hi! sorry to ask, but im not sure what exactly is going wrong with this custom poker hand im trying to make

[hybrid iris]

looks like you're just missing a closed bracket?

hm,,

[maiden phoenix]

Maybe it's case-sensitive? try "tma_DeadMan"

Oh wait

your key is deadman but below you call it deadhand?

[hybrid iris]

yeah--
it was working a while back but something broke

[hybrid iris]

its the poker hand part

or, is that not how it works? jsdhfksdfhj

[maiden phoenix]

Idk, never coded a poker hand.

[hybrid iris]

fair,,,

[zealous glen]

Also sorry for the question but @wintry solar can Steamodded Enhancements be configured to never show up randomly?

[weary jungle]

how do i make a shader for an edition?

[zealous glen]

@languid mirage

Or also Eremel

I know they know

Other people might know

There might be a tutorial by now

[weary jungle]

i just need a purpley thing and like a broken thing

[zealous glen]

Or an example

In Steamodded

But shaders are math

Personally I think the math is the easy part and knowing what math to write is the hard part

But I reckon other people have a different opinion

[shell tangle]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/tree/main/example_mods/Mods/EditionExamples

And, personally, I've stayed away from shaders because they absolutely just don't click for me, it doesn't feel like the same kind of logic you use to program most code.

[zealous glen]

What do you struggle with?

I mean I don’t know shaders either

I don’t think the language Love2D uses for shaders is necessarily helpful

Since it’s like a modification of an outdated shader language

But outside of the language it really just seems like math

Except the math is describing how something looks so you need to know what equations describe what you want the shader to look like

(Which might incur additional programming, like defining a Particle class for a Particle shader)

But mostly: 1) knowing the description of what you want; and 2) writing the mathematics of it

[shell tangle]

Most programming languages, even if I don't know the language beforehand, I can read through and get a pretty good understanding of what's going on, like if stuff is variables, classes, tables, all that, but with shaders, and probably graphical code in general, it's just a lot harder to intrinsically understand.

[rough furnace]

I don't know much about shaders but I did build a shader watcher into DebugPlus's dev branch to help with develo0pment

[zealous glen]

Again I think that’s because Love2D uses a variation of an outdated shader language

[rough furnace]

I mean I was able to understand some basics at a glance, but the shader as a whole I didn't quite get

[zealous glen]

So at least when I look up references

The references don’t look like the language

Because they’re either for the original, unmodified language or for the update

And not for whatever Love2D has baked in

[zealous glen]

IIRC, it’s a language with simple basic structures

It has vectors, whose entries you access in quirky ways

[tepid crow]

modification of a version from 2006 actually

[zealous glen]

Floats and numbers

And some shader parameters

I think those are the classes I remember

[shell tangle]

This is basically it, it's the differences between knowing words in a dictionary and knowing the grammar to use them in.

[zealous glen]

It’s quirky because besides accessing entries 1 through whatever you can use specific symbols which mean specific numbers

[tepid crow]

you can read about the modifications to GLSL that love made here btw
https://love2d.org/wiki/love.graphics.newShader#Shader_Language

[zealous glen]

Like vec.x is the first coordinate

As is vec.u I think

And I think there’s a third one too

[tepid crow]

there's x, y, z, w and r, g, b, a and also a third one iirc yeah

[zealous glen]

I’ve read that page months ago and it still seems quirky and esoteric and just increase the mental load when I try to translate from the original language or the updated original language to Love2D’s

[tepid crow]

🤪

you're not wrong

I have no idea why the developers of love did that

[weary jungle]

man... now i gotta learn shaders... i just wanted a purple......

[rough furnace]

iirc crytptid has a purply shader

[weary jungle]

cryptid save me

[zealous glen]

Eremel had perception-adjusted monochromatic shaders for Ortalab I think

And stupid made the Blueprint shader for the Blueprint mod

So again I think they can help

[weary jungle]

ill just do astral

[zealous glen]

I think this should be especially useful since the perception adjustment makes it look much better

[weary jungle]

but... itd be awesome if it faded in the center........

ugh

[zealous glen]

Someone had made a phantom shader

Either stupid or

Whoever made the active items and

A bunch of vouchers

[lethal stratus]

https://github.com/Kyiranes/vivid-stasis-balatro
my movator on here resets on any discard, even non-player discards
How do I make it only reset on player discard.

[zealous glen]

Betmma?

[zealous glen]

I think it’s easier if you send the relevant excerpt directly

[lethal stratus]

only reason I'm not is because I'm on my phone

[zealous glen]

I think Phantom has some fading https://github.com/betmma/my_balatro_mods/blob/main/Betmma_Vouchers/shaders/phantom.fs

Example #1225831216939536394 message

And here animated #1225831216939536394 message

[wintry solar]

Yeah I’m pretty sure it respects in_pool properly

[weary jungle]

A common error is to define but not use the variable.```
```SMODS.Shader{
    key = "CursedE",
    path = "CursedEdition.fs",
}

SMODS.Edition{
    --0.75X mult
    key = "Cursed",
    shader = "CursedE",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Cursed!",
        label = "Cursed!",
        text = {"{X:mult,C:white} X0.75{} mult"}
    },
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    config = {
        x_mult = 0.75
    }
}``` i font think its working

[zealous glen]

Hmmm… the base game doesn’t really track a pool of Enhancements so it’d need to have been added manually

[zealous glen]

Maybe the key is incorrect

[weary jungle]

whick key

[zealous glen]

Actually rereading the error maybe I don’t know what I’m talking about

Take it from me oh wise fox of the shaders

[weary jungle]

i directly copied astral shader TO LEARN not to copy

[wintry solar]

I’m pretty sure the game uses pools for enhancements, it just adds them all regardless

[zealous glen]

No some effects manually iterate over Enhancements

Like uhhh Familiar

And the other Spectrals

There’s an “if not m_stone”

So Steamodded would need to modify those instances

Otherwise you could generate them from Familiar and the other Spectrals

Or whatever else

[wintry solar]

I might have patched them, I don’t remember

[zealous glen]

(It’s probably not written like this since it needs to be a comparison but you get what I mean)

[wintry solar]

I can look properly tomorrow, but it’s a simple patch wherever it needs to go

[split creek]

is there like a card.to_string() function?

[tepid crow]

why would you want such a thing

[split creek]

I'm making a joker that tells you the top card of your deck

[wintry solar]

Can’t you have it just flip the top card instead?

[hybrid iris]

you could probably hardcode the id number and name but i think there might be a really complex way of doing it somewhere

[weary jungle]

how do i fix this... i cant even learn shader... shader hates me...

[zealous glen]

Another one :P

Also doesn’t Misprint do it

[weary jungle]

this is not giving me hope for making my own shader if i cant even load one that works

[zealous glen]

You can probably look at how Misprint gets the code for the card

There’s a localization function which can probably translate the name

High Card mod does something similar but it just shows the whole deck

The Homestuck mod showed the top three cards in a tooltip

An older mod showed shrunk down versions of the top three cards

Those are the four implementations I know of

[lethal stratus]

is this card able to generate

because me and another person have had issues finding this card

[zealous glen]

This is probably the most relevant part for what @split creek asked

[split creek]

thanks

[zealous glen]

It looks like it should be but you can change Steamodded’s print level and have the debug screen open to see if it’s loaded

[lethal stratus]

?

[zealous glen]

It might be more useful to see if you can find where card tooltips are generated to see how it generates the name, because the actual usage of localize is probably hidden there, but the tooltips might be difficult to read

[zealous glen]

??

[lethal stratus]

how?

[zealous glen]

You can change Steamodded’s print level in the options in-game

The debugger is in a folder inside your Steamodded installation and you can run it, I think just calling the Python script from the terminal?

[split creek]

I'm just using the misprint implementation for now

Also, is it possible to get the base chips of a playing card?

[zealous glen]

I mean probably yeah see how the game does it

Maybe Raised Fist helps

[elder vapor]

card.ability.chips?

that might be it

[tepid crow]

you probably want to use card.base.suit and card.base.value like steamodded does btw https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/main/core/utils.lua#L272

[zealous glen]

I remember when people found out that about Misprint

Woe be me who read Misprint’s tooltip code and completely ignored the secret

[tepid crow]

alas, poor Victin

[weary jungle]

how do i fix shader

[lethal stratus]

😭

also wanna make this only trigger on player discard

[weary jungle]

random end and missing } too easy

[elder vapor]

calculate function in curly brackets?

[lethal stratus]

ohhh

[elder vapor]

missing end as well

[weary jungle]

missing a } for thwe return

[lethal stratus]

no need to be rude

:(

[weary jungle]

mn

mb

problem

[lethal stratus]

erm

this empty table idea

does not work

😭

[weary jungle]

wouldnt the handTable = {} in calculate clear handTable every time it calculates?

[lethal stratus]

good point

i need to clear it after round ends though

ill worry about it when this works

[weary jungle]

id do something with for k,v in pairs handtable

like

idk

[lethal stratus]

ik you mean key value pairs

but

im trying to make it so when I play a new hand, it makes that new hand the hand the card wants

I will eventually also display this hand for ease of use sake

but

how do i keep track of this hand

[hybrid iris]

set it as a value in config?

[lethal stratus]

well its not a consistent hand

[weary jungle]

also on another thing, in your loc_txt, i think you are missing a {} after #1#

[lethal stratus]

the person has to play it

[hybrid iris]

well yeah

you can change what the value is

in the thing

[lethal stratus]

@weary jungle not necessary

[weary jungle]

for the color

the {C:mult}

[lethal stratus]

does it go after or before

[weary jungle]

after

[hybrid iris]

both

well

{C:mult}#1#{}

yea

[weary jungle]

yea

[lethal stratus]

gotchaaa

[hybrid iris]

just so that Mult doesnt get colored too

its not exactly a requirement just like a styling guide thingy

[weary jungle]

i am still waiting for help with this...

[hybrid iris]

ah right

sorry, i dont know how to use shaders 😭

[lethal stratus]

did i bungle this

[hybrid iris]

maybe you need to add your mod prefix?

[weary jungle]

hmm....

[weary jungle]

id put {C:chips}+#1# {} chips per unplayed hands

[hybrid iris]

balatro style is more like

per {C:attention}unplayed{} hand```

but liek otherwise nah

[lethal stratus]

i want it to blend into balatro style

so

?

[hybrid iris]

fair enough

yeah something like that!

I would add the + though for the 40 but like yeah radical

i dont, quite get the ability but neat

[weary jungle]

If we are going by balatro, this is banner

[lethal stratus]

should i make the plus blue too

i feel like it looks better black...

[hybrid iris]

balatro's style has it blue

but, like, its up to you

[weary jungle]

also to make it easier, maybe make it per unplayed hand type

[hybrid iris]

ooh true

[lethal stratus]

thats... not the card idea

[hybrid iris]

wait

oh

oohhh!!

[lethal stratus]

its so braindead easy

[weary jungle]

is it like full house 4oak?

[lethal stratus]

NO

[hybrid iris]

nono its like

[weary jungle]

or opposite of banner

[lethal stratus]

!!!

[hybrid iris]

at end of round, gains chips for each unused hand

[lethal stratus]

not that either!

[hybrid iris]

wait huh?

[weary jungle]

opposite banner?

[hybrid iris]

,,,????

[weary jungle]

yea

[hybrid iris]

also yeah thats right

[weary jungle]

its banner but with hands instead of discards

[hybrid iris]

you are not making this any easier

[hybrid iris]

oh gotcha

[lethal stratus]

...

sorry i was confused upon what was confusing you

😭

[hybrid iris]

jkdfhsdkfjh

I was asking what the card concept was

[lethal stratus]

ohhhh

[hybrid iris]

but then in that case

[lethal stratus]

Nurse fully functions

[weary jungle]

i am now really confused, i changed the shader key in the edition but the error didnt change?

[hybrid iris]

then yeah the more balatro style is

each remaining {C:attention}hand{}```

[hybrid iris]

radical

[hybrid iris]

hm,,,

[lethal stratus]

...

[hybrid iris]

you okay?

[hybrid iris]

hm,,

[weary jungle]

cryptid might be wierd or something

[lethal stratus]

how should i do it here?

[weary jungle]

i think thats already good

[hybrid iris]

i would do it like

 C:attention}poker hand{} hasn't
been played this round```

but thats also good!

conveys all it needs to

[elder vapor]

hasn't

small grammar error

[hybrid iris]

right

[weary jungle]

owned

[hybrid iris]

noooo

[weary jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/minor-ruling-mistake-gif-25583830

[lethal stratus]

the card itself crashes on landing

but

the colors batman

[hybrid iris]

oop

the Colors!!!!

[lethal stratus]

😭

[hybrid iris]

put it under config next to mult?

jsdhskdfjhsdf

if you want to make a variable for a joker

its like mostly advised to have it in
config = {extra = {*insert variable* = value }}
or something

[weary jungle]

why is both shader refrences i have all structured wierdly

[hybrid iris]

and then accessing it is like
card.ability.extra.variable

[weary jungle]

is it bad that i dont use config at all

[hybrid iris]

i wonder if i could emplace a joker in the consumable area and have it act normally

[lethal stratus]

?

[weary jungle]

,Z?

after loc.txt?

[lethal stratus]

typo..

[hybrid iris]

instead of writing config, replace it with card.ability, i believe

woops

thats how you usually access the variables skdfjhskdfjh

[lethal stratus]

?

[hybrid iris]

as in

card.ability.extra.handTable
instead of just
config.extra.handTable

[weary jungle]

i am going to give up on shader

s

[lethal stratus]

AGAIN

[crisp coral]

card.ability.extra.handTable[hand], hand is nil

[lethal stratus]

when i click play it crashes

[crisp coral]

you need to use context.scoring_name

[lethal stratus]

where?

instead of hand?

[crisp coral]

.

[weary jungle]

should i use config? i think im setting myself up for failure

im just plugging in numbers

[lethal stratus]

when selecting blind

[weary jungle]

when you send images, can you show more to the right, so that people can see the line numbers?

[lethal stratus]

its the same line every time

but sure

[weary jungle]

i think its easier if it looks like the right

[weary jungle]

i think the calculate code block should be in a if statement for context

like this

but its context.joker_main i think

--Code
end```

[lethal stratus]

IT WORKS

[weary jungle]

yay

we did it!!!

[lethal stratus]

OH HOLD ON

FUCK

[weary jungle]

nvm

[lethal stratus]

it doesnt work after the second hand

[weary jungle]

we didnt it !!!!

[lethal stratus]

trying to understand why it does work sometimes, and not others

[weary jungle]

i think its time for my favorite part

putting print() everywhere

[hybrid iris]

are you
playing the same hand twice?

[lethal stratus]

i play high card, high card, pair, and then pair

it only works on 1 and 4

[hybrid iris]

okay, hm,

h u h

that is, strange

[lethal stratus]

then, playing a high card at the beginning of one round

IT DOESNT WORK

[hybrid iris]

i can, understand why it wouldnt work across rounds

you may have to clear the table upon end of round

but??? huh????

[weary jungle]

add a ```for k, v in pairs(card.ability.extra.handTable)
print(k, v)
end

we NEED info

[lethal stratus]

im not making a print test

ughhh fine

[weary jungle]

lets go

[lethal stratus]

whre

[weary jungle]

after if context.jokermain

[lethal stratus]

?

[weary jungle]

i forgot a do

[elder vapor]

is there a way to have an option to send a card to the consumables area from a booster pack?

[weary jungle]

print(k, v)
end

[hybrid iris]

try looking in the code of alchemicals?

[weary jungle]

check code packs from cryptid, they do that

[lethal stratus]

where do i read the

print

?

[hybrid iris]

terminal iirc

[weary jungle]

do you have debug +

[lethal stratus]

yea

[weary jungle]

set your setting

[lethal stratus]

wha

[hybrid iris]

oh right

shift c i think?

[weary jungle]

now correct me if im wrong, but i think its this

[lethal stratus]

not quite

[weary jungle]

whatr

[lethal stratus]

shift + c

lmao

[weary jungle]

when you open balatro, do you get a terminal thing?

[lethal stratus]

no

[crimson fern]

hey could someone help me with something wrong with one of my mods

[weary jungle]

like this?

[lethal stratus]

ohh

uh

ys

[weary jungle]

ok it should be in there

[crimson fern]

i can’t fuse my jokers using fusion jokers

my game just crashes

[weary jungle]

itd look like this

[weary jungle]

press /

[lethal stratus]

nothing

[weary jungle]

press / in balatro?

[lethal stratus]

there it is

[weary jungle]

what does it say!

[lethal stratus]

it didnt activate until the second hand

and it said "true"

[weary jungle]

ok

[lethal stratus]

i didnt play two pair, i played 3oal

3opak

its always a hand behind

[weary jungle]

so at first there wasnt anything in it, then it added pair in

[lethal stratus]

the printing is a hand behind

[weary jungle]

the printing happens after you play a hand right?

[lethal stratus]

yes

it works it just doesnt reset per round

fixing

[elder vapor]

do you know where? or am i gonna have to search around a bit

[lethal stratus]

how to do that actually...?

[weary jungle]

probably something with hooking end_round

[lethal stratus]

i just want to do like

if end_round = true or somethjing

[weary jungle]

i dont think you can do that

[lethal stratus]

:(

[weary jungle]

WAIT

[lethal stratus]

I can?!

[weary jungle]

so id be if context.end_of_round i think

[lethal stratus]

on discarding

what do I add to the if statement

[weary jungle]

I think you forgot to put them in if statements

[lethal stratus]

?

there's indentation

what

[weary jungle]

This

[lethal stratus]

oh I deleted that

oops

[weary jungle]

Its important

Also you have 2 different times, context.joker_main and context.end_of_round

[lethal stratus]

gotcha

[weary jungle]

Or you should have

[lethal stratus]

???

sorry wrong pic

ARD.ABILITY

BRUH

IT WORKS

blueprint doesnt copy it properly

😭

how do i make blueprint... work

😭

blueprint checks the table, and the table doesnt work because it was already indexed

[weary jungle]

maybe set the list after?

[elder vapor]

how am i supposed to make good pixel art 😭

[weary jungle]

like do the scoring in joker_main, but uptdafe handTypes in context.after?

[weary jungle]

practice

[elder vapor]

also should i make my cards in 1x then scale them up to 2x?

[weary jungle]

yes

[lethal stratus]

yeah i can do that

[weary jungle]

what program do you use

[elder vapor]

searched on youtube for a good free pixel art program and found graphicsgale

[weary jungle]

aseprite is goofd

[elder vapor]

aseprite is paid

[weary jungle]

not if you build it yourself

[elder vapor]

this is a REAL pixel art i made

guess what it is

[elder vapor]

well time to compile aseprite

(this was 4 years ago)

dont stress if you feel you are bad, you will get better with time

this is an animation i made over 4 years ago 😭

do you like the shift up because i didnt have any more space

[lethal stratus]

how to make a card only reset on human discard and not boss blind idsc

disc*

[weary jungle]

wdym

what does the card do?

[weary jungle]

what is difference between human discard and boss discard, thats the first question\

[lethal stratus]

one of them changes the discard number

the other does not

[weary jungle]

probably check for that

this is how you use config right

[faint yacht]

That'd work if it was {extra = {Curse = 5}} for the config.

[weary jungle]

i fixed that

how do i do a probability

its something with probability normal

[faint yacht]

It is a global.

[weary jungle]

i figured it out

also, is there a variable that shows how many dollars = 1 intrest

like normally its 5$ = 1 intrest

trying to make my mod more compatible

[split creek]

Are packs with both consumables and jokers possible?

[weary jungle]

ok somethings wrong

why is there nils

[split creek]

return { vars = {ALL THE VARS} }

[weary jungle]

what

oh ok

[split creek]

In loc_vars

[weary jungle]

i di d it!!!

    set_ability = function(self, card, initial, delay_sprites)
        card:set_edition("e_negative")
    end,

        return true end }))
    end,
}```is anything wrong with this base for consumables?

[weary jungle]

im going to sleep, ping me for above and ill see it when i wake up

oh wow

its a new dat

ok bye

[elder vapor]

that took long but i'm done

[weary jungle]

Awesome

I forhoy i gotta go to sle

[stray warren]

Is adding new ranks something that's documented somewhere, or is that relatively unexplored territory?

[rough furnace]

You can do it

I've never done it and don't know any mods that do it off the top of my head

but SMODS has the classes for it

[stray warren]

Okay, so I just need to scour a little bit more for that code

[rough furnace]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/e156828cfcb3914a9927c4df05932f1c245a4faa/core/game_object.lua#L1851

[stray warren]

Oh cool, Thank you!

[humble hound]

Try using context.pre_discard and context.hook
For reference, this is the vanilla code for Burnt Joker:

function Card:calculate_joker(context)
    -- [...]
        elseif context.pre_discard then
            if self.ability.name == 'Burnt Joker' and G.GAME.current_round.discards_used <= 0 and not context.hook then
                local text,disp_text = G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(G.hand.highlighted)
                card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')})
                update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.8, delay = 0.3}, {handname=localize(text, 'poker_hands'),chips = G.GAME.hands[text].chips, mult = G.GAME.hands[text].mult, level=G.GAME.hands[text].level})
                level_up_hand(context.blueprint_card or self, text, nil, 1)
                update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 1.1, delay = 0}, {mult = 0, chips = 0, handname = '', level = ''})
            end
    -- [...]
end

[hybrid iris]

is there a way to make a card act like both a consumable and a joker?

[maiden phoenix]

With all the mods doing booster pack count modifications I really wish there was a cleaner way to do it

[tidal edge]

hey! trying to code something that has a 1 in 4 chance to NOT be destroyed

meaning 3 in 4 to be

heres the code; it isnt destroying anything, i've played 10 total cards with this enhancement and they didnt destroy

shatter chance in this is 4

[teal estuary]

is there a way to make a joker unsellable and/or unable to be destroyed?

[silent pawn]

yes

force an eternal sticker on it gg

[teal estuary]

i was gonna say that yeah

do you know how 🤨

[silent pawn]

whenever its spawned just put a sticker on it

[crisp coral]

card.ability.eternal = true

[teal estuary]

oh, thats super easy 😭

is that like in the calculate function or 🤨

[hardy viper]

anywhere

[silent pawn]

is that like an integrated ability or something

or what

[hardy viper]

generally set ability though

or add to deck

maybe add to deck yeah

[teal estuary]

BHJBYU

my cat 😭

[hardy viper]

ok no set ability

[teal estuary]

😔

[teal estuary]

is there somehwere where i can see an example or?

[hardy viper]

insane seed

[hardy viper]

i mean it's documented on smods

[teal estuary]

oooh, ty

[hardy viper]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/05.-SMODS.Center#all-centers

[silent pawn]

how do you declare jokers undiscovered or not unlocked now

or can you just not

[weary jungle]

i think it was discovered and unlocked

i dont know why it says that, i have it in my joker and it works

[silent pawn]

yeah but if its unsupported its not going to give out an error it just wont do anything

[weary jungle]

what are the upsides to summoning a boss?

[weary jungle]

but it does do it

[hardy viper]

call the function for it iirc

[nocturne garnet]

if you defeat it you get a purified curse

[silent pawn]

L change

so pointless

[teal estuary]

but why make it harder to do 🤨

[weary jungle]

what does that mena

[nocturne garnet]

erm

its a thing in my mod

curses are bad

purified curses are good

[weary jungle]

ok got it

[silent pawn]

doesnt it make more sense to call them blessings

or are purified curses like regular curses but converted

[weary jungle]

    set_ability = function(self, card, initial, delay_sprites)
        card:set_edition("e_negative")

[weary jungle]

if i want cryptid support, is there anything i have to do, or is it good straight out of the box

Im making consumables, is there anything that needs to be done for code cards or something?

[lusty epoch]

No

[weary jungle]

good

[nocturne garnet]

how do sprites work

they are

confusing

i want to make a sprite appear in the middle of the screen when i use this spectral

unfortunately i do not know how

[weak brook]

Any Steammodded devs/contributors active rn? Found a bug relating to the implementation of DeckSkins that needs fixing.

Line 58 in loader.lua detects instances of SMODS.DeckSkin in the code and identifies it as SMODS.Deck, and falsely flags the mod as outdated. This causes serious problems for mods that use prefixes, as all the objects that use prefixes get their prefixes removed and their keys change

outdated = { pattern = { 'SMODS%.INIT', 'SMODS%.Deck' } },

I wanna implement a fix for this locally for my own purposes for the time being until it gets fixed but im not sure how exactly

adding a curly bracket after Deck fixes it but that seems a bit hacky

[jade gorge]

is there like a template to coding balala jonklerss
i have minimal Coding experience but have many ideas

[wintry solar]

I think adding a SMODS%.( and a SMODS%.{ should cover most cases of the outdated stuff if you think that’d work?

[maiden phoenix]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1307744498360520805

[weak brook]

yeah I changed it to detect 'SMODS%.Deck{' and that fixed it

just feels like such a simple fix that there might be a better way to do it but i mean hey

i guess it works

im writing an issue page for this on the github page rn

[hardy viper]

any mod that uses a traditional function call wouldn't be detected by this

[jade gorge]

waow

[weak brook]

yeah i was thinking that wouldnt be good for that

[hardy viper]

regardless you could just do SMODS%.Deck[{(]

oh wait no

SMODS%.Deck[{\(]

fuck discord

[weak brook]

yeah i dunno the pattern syntax and stuff so i had no idea what to put for that

thanks

[hardy viper]

wait why is

fuck idk the lua regex engine

[hardy viper]

it's either this or SMODS%.Deck[{%(]

[tepid crow]

might also want to match optional whitespace

[rough furnace]

I don't think you need to escape ( in a []

not sure

[hardy viper]

true

probably safer anyways

[hardy viper]

u right

i don't have too much regex experience

[edgy reef]

I'm not sure trying to target SMODS.Deck{ or SMODS.Deck({ will work since 0.9.8 API declaration is SMODS.Deck:new(

[tepid crow]

Flowwey's right actually

the match would be SMODS.Deck[:.]new

[torn grove]

I'm genuinely lost, I just can't see it

[tepid crow]

if you're gonna show a screenshot, at least include the linenumbers...

[torn grove]

ok

[torn grove]

I may be forgor

[tepid crow]

you forgot a comma

[wintry solar]

I mean, the error message tells you what line is wrong

[torn grove]

oh yeah

[tepid crow]

just... try and solve it on your own next time

[torn grove]

I did try, but I just couldn't make heads or tails of it

also I added a comma to line 78 (the one the error said was bad) and it still gives the same error

I removed this entire part and it still says the same thing; maybe it isn't line 78 then

[torn grove]

did some tinkering and got it to work! had to copy some code off of NLM but I'm sure the creator will be fine with that.

also, I kinda want getting a second dream catcher to reduce hand size by 2, like how ectoplasm does

[split creek]

Trying to get multiples of a single joker to work, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/common_events.lua"
pattern = '''elseif not (G.GAME.used_jokers[v.key] and not next(find_joker("Showman"))) and'''
position = 'at'
match_indent = true
payload = '''elseif not (G.GAME.used_jokers[v.key] and (not next(find_joker("Showman")) or not v.ability.name == "mtg-relentlessrats")) and'''```
any thoughts?

[wintry solar]

you want to check the key, not the name

[split creek]

so would it be v.key == "mtg-relentlessrats"?

[wintry solar]

j_mtg_relentlessrats, assuming mtg is your mod prefix and relentlessrats is your defined key in the joker

[split creek]

ok ok

[edgy reef]

Can't you use in_pool to allow your joker to allow itself to have duplicates?

I assume that's what this injection is meant to do.

[split creek]

So just in_pool = true inside of the joker object?

[edgy reef]

It's a function.

Not a boolean

Something like this iirc?

in_pool = function(self)
  return true, { allow_duplicates = true }
end

[torn grove]

How do I make unlock conditions for Jokers? I want a certain joker to be unlocked if you have 10 joker slots at once.

[split creek]

You're a lifesaver

[tepid crow]

see https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/05.-SMODS.Center#all-centers

[split creek]

Regarding this same joker, I want the duplicates in the shop to have negative, and this doesn't seem to be doing anything

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/common_events.lua"
pattern = "if card.ability.consumeable and not skip_materialize then card:start_materialize() end"
position = "after"
payload = '''
    if next(find_joker("mtg-relentlessrats")) and card.ability.name == "mtg-relentlessrats" then
        card:set_edition("e_negative", true, nil, true)
    end
'''
match_indent = true```

[torn grove]

ok

[rough furnace]

shouldn't the find_joker be j_mtg_relentlessrats

also probably SMODS.find_card

[split creek]

Didn't know smods has a find_card function

[rough furnace]

yeah idk

not sure what it does differently

[split creek]

just read the documentation, it's to prevent mod name conflicts

[edgy reef]

It uses the key instead of the name

[rough furnace]

oh it doesn't really notice cause my key and name are the same

[frosty dock]

yep it usually doesn't matter, but names aren't always without collision (should you happen to specify one) and this version is consistent across modded and vanilla objects

[weary jungle]

how do i add a description with the name of the things

can you pass an edition into loc_vars

[rough furnace]

Like the tooltip

[weary jungle]

yep

[rough furnace]

You can do something like this https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/JamMod/blob/master/Jokers.lua#L126

With the key you want

[weary jungle]

fire

[maiden phoenix]

Would be nice if the text was more fitting with Balatro's, there are a lot of mismatches in this picture (black xmult, mult not capitalized etc..)

[weary jungle]

i made it black because itsa like really bad

so its evil

[placid frigate]

is there a dictionary or glossary on where to find the variables and what each one does

[zealous glen]

What variables

Steamodded has a wiki

The scoring calculation has been broken down here and there

Other things not specifically

[torn grove]

How do I make it gain money for every Joker you have?

[zealous glen]

Count how many Jokers you have

[placid frigate]

Ok so I was looking for how to destroy a Heart card and add that to Mult X value

[zealous glen]

Like an one time effect?

[torn grove]

what's the doohickey for that

I want it to gain $3 for every joker you have at the end of the round

[zealous glen]

You can manipulate the Joker CardArea directly. A good in-game reference might be Abstract Joker.

[placid frigate]

like vampire where it's added, so the Mult X goes up

[zealous glen]

Most of the time you define your own variables

There’s like a small number of built-in ones

So you track the current value yourself

[placid frigate]

ok

[zealous glen]

Note that it needs to go inside the extra table

[torn grove]

I can't seem to find the code for that in the code...

[placid frigate]

what is the extra tables

[zealous glen]

What program do you use to write?

[torn grove]

vs code

anyway gtg

[zealous glen]

It’s a table you can add to the ability table

[zealous glen]

Try code searching the game’s code for “abstract”

[torn grove]

ok

[placid frigate]

where does one find these?

[zealous glen]

If you want a reference you can check the Steamodded wiki or some mod that adds Jokers

[placid frigate]

ok thank you

I look at that

[weary jungle]

when i open my runes section and go back out, the other consumables dont show until all of the consumables do the negative animation

[rough furnace]

sounds like a blocoking event

[hardy viper]

yup

add a wrapper for the back func to clear the event queue ig

[weary jungle]

the what on the huh?

[hardy viper]

exit_func in the uibox you made

[weary jungle]

i did not make a uibox

[crisp coral]

the events are from set_edition

which should have an instant field

[weary jungle]

wouldnt that make it so everytime you find it naturally itd also be instant?

[crisp coral]

i think that'd be better since it signifies that the negative is from itself and not a natural source

[weary jungle]

now it waits for the sound effect

which would be silent = true, but then itd be really hard to tell that runes are negative

[rough furnace]

I mean in the collection they probab;y should be silent

[weary jungle]

how do i do things only in the collection?

[rough furnace]

you should be able to check if card.area.config.collection is true(?)

[weary jungle]

if it exists, its true right

[rough furnace]

in this case yes

[hardy viper]

how do you have a ui for your collection without making a ui

[rough furnace]

SMODS does it for you

[weary jungle]

consumable type?

[hardy viper]

does it?

[rough furnace]

yeah

[hardy viper]

convenient

[weary jungle]

trust me, if i was supposed to make a ui i would not have made mods

[rough furnace]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/main/core/game_object.lua#L900

[weary jungle]

card:set_edition("e_negative", card.area.config.collection, card.area.config.collection) This would work right?

[rough furnace]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

try it and see

[weary jungle]

table.insert(contents.nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes, #contents.nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes + 1, exit_button) i still dont understand this (Escape exit example mod)

[rough furnace]

the ui is like a tree

each element can have child nodes

[weary jungle]

i know its a tree, but there is like no labeling

[rough furnace]

yes

[weary jungle]

i dont know whats waht

[rough furnace]

the objects have a type on them

if your familar with the JS dom contents.nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes is like element.children[0].children[0].children[0].children

[weary jungle]

i can deduce that contents.nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes is the escape menu, but i dont know where any other ui element is

[rough furnace]

yep

we unlike in the dom we don't have good debug tools

[weary jungle]

aw man

[rough furnace]

they might not have the area when the edition is set yet then

[weary jungle]

im going to add and true and see if that works

[tepid crow]

man the amount of times I would've been able to make use of a HTML-like DOM inspector

[rough furnace]

I've thought of making one bhut I don't have the determination

[weary jungle]

nope...

[rough furnace]

maybe if I end up writing a good text system for DebugPlus I can see it happening

maybve

[tepid crow]

it sounds like an absolutely pain in the ass and incredibly complex so I don't blame you lol

[weary jungle]

i do not know what dom is, so this is funny

[rough furnace]

dom is how javascript interacts with webpages

[weary jungle]

yea inspect all the doms i wont stop you

[tepid crow]

the DOM is basically the HTML/CSS/JS equivalent of the UI tree in balatro (?)

[rough furnace]

dom is how js interacts with html

[weary jungle]

i am a print() lover

[rough furnace]

but it works very similar to how balatro represents it's ui

it also has a super handy debugger

[weary jungle]

when are you going to make a sub inspector !!

[weary jungle]

ohhhh trhe html thingy

[tepid crow]

yeah

the HTML "tree"

[tepid crow]

I won't 🙃

[weary jungle]

aka the faking google searches menu

[rough furnace]

Balatro's UI could be represented in a similar system

but it would have to be made from scratch

and I don't want to make an baaltro ui inspecter with the balatro ui

sounds like pain

[tepid crow]

LMAO

just debug your debugger with your debugger

[rough furnace]

I think the dev tools are written with html and js

[weary jungle]

make the ui inspector with a HTML-like DOM inspector

[rough furnace]

well now I need to make an HTML like system in love2d

[lethal stratus]

making a card like ride the bus, but it increases only on face card use

[weary jungle]

ride the limo

[lethal stratus]

okihau express

from v/s

lol

[rough furnace]

but I have plans to make a semi-competent text system for DebugPlus's console

so something like that might make that bareable

[weary jungle]

i want to execute comands in debug+

[rough furnace]

okay switch to the dev branch

[weary jungle]

just like printing values or something

also is there a way to restart balatro without holding m? i always acidentally hold m for too long and type mmmmmmm

[rough furnace]

I just go to my terminal ctrl + c it then up and enter

[tepid crow]

I made a shortcut that automatically closes and restarts the game so I only have to click a single button

[weary jungle]

on windows

[tepid crow]

yea

[weary jungle]

maybe like control M

[rough furnace]

you can use smods keybind api and just call the restart function

I don't like that function its cursed and has weird behvaiours with a couple things

mostly screws up my terminal

we would have a better way if lovely didn't implode

[weary jungle]

ok quick swap mods to make debug + addons for myself

[lethal stratus]

resets every hand

[weary jungle]

debug + is lovely??? no1!!!!

[weary jungle]

i dont know where restart function is....

[rough furnace]

So is SMODS, what's your point?

[weary jungle]

its different....

[rough furnace]

how?

you already have lovely

[weary jungle]

you have to only use lua even if you are more comfortable with lovely and lovely gives you more freedom!!!!

(jokr)

[rough furnace]

I don't need any of the api's smods uses and I need to modfiy the middle of a few functions as well as some stuff thats run before smods loads mods

[weary jungle]

delete debug plus and start it all over again 😔

also where is the restart function

[rough furnace]

SMODS.restart_game() I think

[split creek]

Does anyone know the correct way to go about reducing the ranks of cards when using steamodded?

It seems like the ranks store which rank is next, but not which one is previous

[rough furnace]

I think you cna go through SMODS.rank and theres a property for next(?)

so find the one with yours as next

[split creek]

ah so loop through the whole thing like a linked list

ill try that

[weary jungle]

using my debug mod to debug the debug mod

[rough furnace]

I use DebugPlus to develop DebugPlus all the time

[weary jungle]

im calling my mod debugplusplus even though its more like debug plus|

(not even a full letter of plus)

[rough furnace]

what are you even doing extra?

[weary jungle]

control M instantly reboots game and sets a savestate in slot 0

thats it

[rough furnace]

ok fair

[weary jungle]

how do i control

if controller.held_keys["control"] then

is it like command or something

[hardy viper]

just use SMODS.Keybind

[weary jungle]

am i dumg?

[rough furnace]

it would be lctrl or rctrl iirc

[weary jungle]

can i just write "m", "rctrl" in key pressed?

[hardy viper]

you can set a secondary key

look at the example mod

that uses keybinds

[weary jungle]

oh yeah

[rough furnace]

I wouldn't know I do keybinds manually cause I'm not a SMODS mod

[weary jungle]

you are lovely

(im using that as a pickup line)

[rough furnace]

no thats @gaunt thistle

[weary jungle]

i dont think you are a SMODS mod, because you are lovely

[rough furnace]

i dont think you are a SMODS mod, because you are a cursed script that modifes the executable directly

[weary jungle]

i dont think you are a SMODS mod, because i can see all of your uiboxes

[gaunt thistle]

thank

[weary jungle]

yw

[lethal stratus]

still need help

i dont know why its resetting every hand

[split creek]

Regarding this, how difficult do you think it would be for me to modify the ranks to include the previous rank?

[rough furnace]

idk I think technically you can have 2 diffwerent ranks with the same next so how do you figure out the previous

[weary jungle]

diffwent

[lethal stratus]

:(

the card was working entirely fine until i added the hook check

is that check wrong?

[split creek]

I would just hardcode it in

[rough furnace]

idk probably bring it up in #1209564621644505158

```this is just not restarting

it closes balstro but doesnt reopen it

[humble gale]

does anyone know how to check if a card has a modded edition?

[weary jungle]

modded editions have prefixes right

so its not e_name
its e_prefix_name right

[humble gale]

yea

wait i think i got an idea. ill report back

nvm it didnt work

checking if edition == "key" doesnt work

[rough furnace]

do you have the edition object?

cause I think they have a mod key if its from a mod

[humble gale]

its declared as SMODS.Edition so yeah

and its key is e_prefix_name

i can get the edition to apply and work. Im just checking if a joker has that edition with another joker and nothing will run

[rough furnace]

Yeah if you have the center, if it's from a mod it has a mod key on the cetner

These 2 were the examples

[humble gale]

well this didnt work either

for i, joker in ipairs(G.jokers) do
   if joker.edition.name == 'e_jojo_misfortune' then
     joker.set_edition(joker)
     break
   end
end

idk if im misunderstanding what your saying

[rough furnace]

what are you trying to do?

[lethal stratus]

more ignoring

[humble gale]

i want to remove the edition if it is on the current joker

[split creek]

    SMODS.Ranks["2"].previous = { }
    SMODS.Ranks["3"].previous = { "2" }
    SMODS.Ranks["4"].previous = { "3" }
    SMODS.Ranks["5"].previous = { "4" }
    SMODS.Ranks["6"].previous = { "5" }
    SMODS.Ranks["7"].previous = { "6" }
    SMODS.Ranks["8"].previous = { "7" }
    SMODS.Ranks["9"].previous = { "8" }
    SMODS.Ranks["10"].previous = { "9" }
    SMODS.Ranks["Jack"].previous = { "10" }
    SMODS.Ranks["Queen"].previous = { "Jack" }
    SMODS.Ranks["King"].previous = { "Queen" }
    SMODS.Ranks["Ace"].previous = { "King" }
end```

The solution

[rough furnace]

what about modded ranks?

[rough furnace]

That should work for clearing but the key is card.edition.key

[rough furnace]

don't have enough context to sauy anything

[split creek]

I tried to make it work generally, but I couldn't figure it out :(

This will have to do for now

[rough furnace]

Oh I didn't realize next was a table

[split creek]

Yeah, it is

I think it's used for the random option

[rough furnace]

Probably something like lua for k, v in pairs(SMODS.Ranks) do for _, r in ipairs(v.next) do local rank = SMODS.Ranks[r] if not rank.previous then rank.previous = {} end table.insert(rank.previous, v.key) end end would work

[split creek]

Whats the difference between pairs and ipairs?

Cause I was trying to do this but couldn't get it quite right

[rough furnace]

pairs goes over every element in the table where ipairs only goes over numbered ones (for array like tables). See https://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/manual.html#pdf-ipairs and https://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/manual.html#pdf-pairs

[split creek]

ooohhh

that makes a lot of sense

I was using ipairs for the first line, so it wasn't actually doing any iterating

Does anyone know how Suit objects are stored in SMODS.Suits? I'm trying to make a playing card of a custom suit, and I don't know how they're indexed

Grim can randomly select the custom suit, so I know that it's in that table

[elder vapor]

could look at the base game and see how those are stored

[orchid thunder]

Can I make a secret hand like royal flush

[molten ice]

a table with the index using the suit's key (EX: 'Spades', 'bunc_Fleurons') iirc and the value being the actual SMODS.Suit object itself

Grim's generation involved a special implementation inside pseudorandom_element (SMODS's lovely patch to make it possible, the implementation can be viewed from lovely dump) that iterate through SMODS.Suits's own object buffer to make it a proper list + checking in_pool

[zealous glen]

@stray warren I think the preceding discussion about SMODS.Rank might be helpful

[stray warren]

Oh cool, thank you. I was having that same issue with the nexts being identical with the Ace and the Apostle

[azure bane]

Is anyone interested in a making a mod that reskins face cards to monstergirls? I have a copy of Aseprite

[hardy viper]

sprite modding is pretty simple iirc you don't need much coding knowledge

i don't remember which mod is used for deck skins these days though

malverk? deckskinsplus? smods? who knows !

[wintry solar]

Smods has it built in but I believe deckskins refactored to use it so you can still use the old deckskins format

[weary jungle]

How do i see the current ante

is it G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante

why dont i check actually

[hybrid iris]

finally, after like a day of messing with patches,,,

ive got it in a semi-usable state

just ignore the fact that it doesnt work for returning variables for some reason

[hardy viper]

shouldn't need patches for this

[hybrid iris]

if there was an easier way to do this im going to actually explode

[weary jungle]

idk globals or something

[hybrid iris]

,,,was there an easier way to make consumables that act like jokers?

[weary jungle]

i did something similar and just spawned a joker

[hybrid iris]

sdkfjhsdkfjh

[hardy viper]

SMODS.eval_this I think idk

[hybrid iris]

well yeah but thats not as fun

[weary jungle]

but im lazy

[hardy viper]

i wouldn't know i don't do much smods stuff

[hybrid iris]

so why would you say it so confidently???

sdfjhskdfjh

[hybrid iris]

fair fair

[hardy viper]

because it didn't seem necessary to use a patch ?

[hybrid iris]

,,,you'd think that

i did too on first glance

[elder vapor]

shouldn't it be X1.5

[hybrid iris]

but like apparently there seems to be this whole thing about how cards only evaluate when in the joker area

not to mention contexts being a pain

[weary jungle]

why dont you keep on use, toggle a global variable, only allow consumable to be used if not variable and then do things?

[weary jungle]

yea im just making all of them rn

im not that caring of formatting rn

[hybrid iris]

sdkfjhsdfkjh

[elder vapor]

thats fair

[weary jungle]

is that a good sdkfjhsdfkjh or a bad sdkfjhsdfkjh
