yeah

faint yacht
#

Okay, so it was just the .wav files being too old apparently to understand... but having them in a subfolder works with spaces too.

stiff locust
#

okay small problem

#

every info queue is appearing on the same side

#

and because of the spacing, size of each box and how many there are, they're nigh unreadable in the collection

#

at least half of them are

#

oh god I have to add info queues for negative and eternal too

#

and the stake sticker 😭 that's 11

wintry solar
#

do you actually need that many?

stiff locust
#

yes

#

I don't wanna make an almanac-level joker description

#

i want it to be like chocolate die in cryptid

#

there are 8 different effects here and negative and eternal are involved

#

as well as splash but honestly if you have my mod downloaded do you really need the info queue for it

#

i could probably cut negative and eternal, most people know what those are

#

but the other 8 I do need all of them yes

#

maybe i just need more line breaks

rough furnace
#

see what happens

frosty dock
#

ight merged this and a buncha other PRs, surely nothing will break

#

How big are joker sprites?

Hopefully someone here is smart enough to help 😭

Trying to do custom challenges and I have this template, how would I go about implementing this into a mod?

wooden nexus
#

well... it still crashes

cerulean rose
#

the classic blunder

wooden nexus
cerulean rose
#

the blue one after text

rough furnace
#

Oh yeah true

#

I probably just fixed a future crash then

wooden nexus
#

It just got cropped out by accident

cerulean rose
#

oh ok

rough furnace
#

Let me get to my PC to read the error

cerulean rose
#

maybe ability needs to be config?

rough furnace
#

which line is 562

#

it looks like the center for a tag doesn't have an ability

wooden nexus
#

That's 562

rough furnace
#

it looks like the center for a tag doesn't have an ability

wooden nexus
#

It's not a tag though

#

oh wait

#

i misread it

wooden nexus
rough furnace
#

well self is probably a tag not a center

wooden nexus
#

oh

#

wait i see possibly the problem

#

may have copied the wrong tag

#

I had tag_skip instead of tag_orbital

#

and it still crashes

rough furnace
#

it looks like the center for a tag doesn't have an ability

wooden nexus
#

but it does. it's literally part of the code of orbital tag

rough furnace
#

thats a tag not a center

wooden nexus
#

The code is just trying to load said Tag's variable

#

G.P_TAGS['tag_orbital']

rough furnace
#

thats not a tag object

crystal willow
#

I mightve missed it, but in case its actually there:
Is there a section in the steammodded wiki on how to create custom challenges? Is there a way to learn how in general?

hardy viper
#

it's not documented but you can look at others' code

crystal willow
#

bummer

#

Its really messing me up atm lmao

rough furnace
#

I think cryptid makes some challenges

crystal willow
#

this is so complicated for me â˜č
Okie

royal seal
#

I would also recommend looking at the base game's challenges.lua file to see how the base challenges work too

crystal willow
#

It’s not really creating them thats the problem, it’s more just actually implementing them and actually being able to play them thats giving me trouble

wooden nexus
#

This

#

I just want the variable from the orbital tag to use in the description

#

This was said outcome at the time

rough furnace
#

well the orbital tag doesn't store the hand it has in it's config

#

cause its random

wooden nexus
#

then what do I do then?

rough furnace
#

what are you trying to do>

wooden nexus
#

Okay so you know Orbital Tag's description

#

Trying to put that on the card because I really don't want to just put "Creates X Tag"

rough furnace
#

okay so just pass the '['..localize('k_poker_hand')..']' as the variable

wooden nexus
#

So remove the first part?

rough furnace
#

well you're never going to know the hand as it doesn't exist so you don't need to check it

hardy viper
#

you can know the hand if you want

rough furnace
#

well theres no tag to get it from

hardy viper
#

there's a reason the rng functions support prediction

wooden nexus
#

Should i just put Poker Hand for this one because y'know... it's a card

rough furnace
#

thats only if you spawn it immediatly

hardy viper
#

ah

rough furnace
#

you could store the poker hand and then do sometibg to force the tag to keep it when you spawn it but thats a bit more work

wooden nexus
#

I'm thinking of just replacing it to [Poker Hand] Like when it's null

hardy viper
hardy viper
#

didn't want to make it predictable

wooden nexus
#

same

#

but I'm gonna do actual playing cards in the future

#

Good enough

placid frigate
#

hey when I tried running my mod I got an error and don't know where it's from

#

May someone help me figure it out

rough furnace
#

you have a syntax error in P5HeroJoker.lua

#

somewhere likely around line 61

placid frigate
#

I see

#

never mind, I don't see aren't you supposed to put a } at the end to close SMODS.Joker?

rough furnace
#

All {'s need to have a matching }

placid frigate
rough furnace
#

the { for SMODS.Joker isn't closed

#

also calcualte doesnt' have an end

placid frigate
#

is the end at line 59 not the end of the calculation

rough furnace
#

no thats the end for the if statment

placid frigate
#

so put a second end after that?

rough furnace
#

yes

placid frigate
#

wouldn't I also need and 'end' after if context.after

rough furnace
#

that one has one

placid frigate
#

ok so just 1 end and the final } for SMODS.Joker?

rough furnace
#

probably

placid frigate
#

alright I'm going to try it I'll probably write back if i still have a problem

rough furnace
#

whats on line 47

placid frigate
#

if context.joker_main and card.ability.extra.xmult >= 1 then

#

should it be >= 0

rough furnace
#

the xmult isn't defined

placid frigate
#

isn't it defined in line 23-26 config = { extra = { Xmult = 1, Xmult_gain = 1 } }, loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card) return { vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult, card.ability.extra.Xmult_gain } } end,

rough furnace
#

it's case sensitive

placid frigate
#

so it need to be capital?

#

or lowercase?

yall is my mod haunted

#

i swear i didnt do anything with this

i cant replicate it

i dont know why it happens

#

hmm

#

is your github repo up-to-date?

nocturne garnet
#

i mean its different for me since i added a few jokers

#

so no not really

#

but i didnt change anything about pokerhands or neon prism or selling cards

#

and i dont think i ever changed anything about pokerhands anyways

rough furnace
#

Get the user to send their mod list. Could be another mod or a conflict of some sort

cunning zenith
#

Trying to run the pokermon mod but it keeps giving me this crash, can someone help me please?

gritty valley
#

Is the mod nested?

cunning zenith
#

Meaning? sorry I'm pretty new to this

gritty valley
#

The mod folder, when you open it is it just another folder. If it is, drag the folder inside that one into your mods

cunning zenith
#

oh no no, I unzipped the folder

#

when I open the folder it has a bunch of stuff

gritty valley
rough furnace
#

Do you have steamodded?

cunning zenith
cunning zenith
rough furnace
#

Is steamodded nested?

cunning zenith
#

I "injected" steamodded

gritty valley
#

Old version

cunning zenith
#

oh, that's probably it

#

well I did the other way since I had a backup with it already but now the game starts and crashes as soon as I clicked play in new run lol

#

found out what the new problem was. It was conflicting with another mod I had installed

gritty valley
hardy viper
#

known issue

#

occurs with tmj if you scroll hard enough

#

im not watching the whole 1 minute video so i don't know if you figured out that entering a run fixes the issue

#

“Doing this random thing that no one normal would ever do could cause issues on lower end machines”

#

Don’t do it then

gritty valley
#

How do you know this extreme of the issue isn't affecting the game in other parts

rough furnace
#

I mean it's likely just a galdur issue

gritty valley
#

This is only showing it off obviously, it probably is causing atleast some perceptable lag on lower end machines with big decks

rough furnace
#

Also if it is affecting other parts of the game we would notice cause we do have people on low end machines who would report if their fps dropped significantly

gritty valley
wintry solar
#

I’m also pretty sure that I patched out the galdur memory leak but I could be mistaken

nocturne garnet
#

incredibly stupid idea ik

gritty valley
#

Like maybe it's low priority but ignoring the issue I think is counter-productive

#

But if it's not percieved by others then it's fine

rough furnace
gritty valley
hardy viper
#

as i said this happens with tmj

#

it's not a vanilla bug though

#

if i coincidentally made the same mistake as eremel and we both just have the same memory leak then oh well but i think it's just a main menu thing

tepid sky
#

what if i wanted to change the base game joker vars? do i just use card.? orrr

image.png
hardy viper
#

but it's inconsequential either way

rough furnace
#

Intresrint

wintry solar
#

I think it's a vanilla issue though with how it handles removing items right?

zealous glen
tepid sky
#

how exactly do i change the config (i figured i didn't need the loc_vars)

zealous glen
#

Indeed you can just pass the new config

#

The last boolean can be either true or false

#

Depending on whether you want it to display a badge or not

#

IIRC

tepid sky
#

so if true it would just display the new config on the joker?

zealous glen
#

Either way it would replace the config

#

It’s just if it displays a badge or not I believe

tepid sky
#

hmm aight

tepid crow
#

iirc some list of game objects only keeps increasing

#

(aka some game objects arent getting cleaned properly)

tepid sky
zealous glen
#

Also see if another mod also doesn’t touch it

#

Although there is a badge. Is that your mod’s?

tepid sky
#

you mean prefix?

#

rocket's code does in fact use loc_vars

image.png
rough furnace
#

did you load a save from before you changed it?

tepid sky
#

oh lol, smth happend

image.png
#

hmm, interesting

zealous glen
tepid sky
#

hmm

#

sad i cannot take ownership while in run

#

:I

#

welp, thats too bad, i do now know how to take ownership of a joker, so wasn't for nothin :D

rough furnace

check logs

rough furnace
mystic river
#

do you mean that 'status' is a reserved word and i should rename my variable, or do you mean something else

rough furnace
#

no I'm saying card.ability.extra.status doesn't work as key

#

or well it might work but you would need to wrap it in [""]

#

Probably uou don't want it in the table at all

mystic river
#

oh, the return table
took me a moment to connect that dot
can you tell i'm running on three hours of sleep

mystic river
#

now it's doing some really incomprehensible stuff

  • intended behavior: at end of round, create a random spectral card if no face cards were played that round (must have room)
  • observed behavior: at end of round, create a random spectral card if no face cards were played that round (must have room), then also create a random spectral card if any consumable card is possessed regardless of whether face cards were played (must have room), then if no consumables are possessed crash with 'for' limit must be a number
    i copied this code right out of seance, i have no idea where this extra behavior is coming from
        if context.end_of_round and not context.blueprint then
            if card.ability.extra.status == 'Active' then
                if #G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then

I'm using 1.0.0 Alpha is there a newer version then that one?

mystic river
#

1.0.0~ALPHA-0812d is indeed not the newest version

frosty dock
#

it's in the name, alpha versions are in-development and usually get frequent updates

#

but definitely nowhere close to no updates in 4 months

proven lava
#

is there anything i can do to have pre_discard return this table? the ability works part works fine just the return doesn't seem to return, the return works with context.before

image.png
hardy viper
#

card_eval_status_text

placid frigate
frosty dock
#

👆 or SMODS.eval_this

frosty dock
wintry solar
#

it'll give you ghost cards in the deck though if you call it carelessly

proven lava
#

thank you both

frosty dock
#

we do love the inconsistencies of the code tower that is the calculate function

#

pre_discard has exactly one vanilla use, so i guess there was no reason to have return values do anything

placid frigate
# frosty dock that does indeed destroy a card when it's called

so would my code look like

          ---check for hearts suit, card2 is the value in the current loop
          if card2:is_suit("Hearts") then
            ---destroy the card
            Card:start_dissolve(card2)
            ---increment xmult value by adding increase to the xmult value
            card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.increase
           end```
wintry solar
#

just use the context that destroys cards

#

and it'll do it cleanly for you

frosty dock
#

if you don't know what you're doing, maybe just check for appropriate vanilla examples

placid frigate
#

I don't but I want to learn, also I don't think a vanilla card does this

#

where would I find the jokers like this in the original code

frosty dock
#

that part of the code is a mess and it's hard to find things if you don't know what to search for

#

i don't know exactly what you're trying to achieve still, but sixth sense should be close enough (and uses the destroying_card context eremel mentioned)

#

card.lua:2603

placid frigate
#

what do you mean by "context"

#

I will also look at the card.lua

frosty dock
#

uh

#

just read this

#

destroying_card is step 11

placid frigate
#

ok thank you

karmic kelp
#

Is there a good example of documentation for learning how to get started with adding stuff, like a checklist of sorts? I'm just getting started with modding, currently only have my metadata .json file

tepid crow
#

Checking out other mods is usually a good start

karmic kelp
#

Is there a good set of base cards I'm allowed to use as placeholder then?

proven lava
#

if you have set up steamodded there is a folder where you can find many example mods adding different mechanics

#

the one i've referenced the most is examplejokers

image.png
#

goes through a bunch of different jokers and how they work

karmic kelp

That's news to me. That sounds like a wonderful repository of information. Thanks!

Anyone know how to call the function to open a booster pack? I'm having trouble finding a mod to use as an example.

wooden nexus
#

Okay so whenever my consumable spawns an orbital tag, the tag has [Poker Hand]

#

idk how to fix it

mystic river
#

how do you get the current round number

rough furnace
#

G.GAME.round?

karmic kelp
#

how do you cheat in a consumable?

faint yacht
#

DebugPlus.

mystic river
#

i cannot believe it took me friggin. two hours to think of "save the last round activated and make sure it's different when trying to activate again"
i still don't know why context.end_of_round is called like six times but it no longer matters, it's only activating once

hybrid iris
#

why is mod compatability so hard,,,,

karmic kelp
#

is there a list of color tags for the text rendering?

hardy viper
#

G.C

#

oh wait

#

yeah it's just G.C

#

run eval print(inspect(G.C)) in debugplus if you want a full list

#

including those defined by mods

#

if you want to define your own then you can do something like
G.C.mycolor = HEX("FF00FF") and "{C:mycolor}text{}"

karmic kelp
#

I don't get what part of this isn't right... the loc_txt is being defined inside the Consumable and I have no loc files, if that's the solution

Got my mod working, albeit poorly 😁 . The booster pack spawning is kinda janky and spawns in the middle of the "money counting" animation after you beat a boss blind and interrupts it, but it seems to be functional.

card2:start_dissolve()

rough furnace

yeah the first option is the colour

crisp coral

assuming card2 is an actual Card

placid frigate
#

card2: is_suit("Hearts")

#

so should card2 just be hearts?

for destroying_card = scoring_hand[i] full_hand = G.play.cards do I replace i with what I want to destory?

trying to make a thing that gives $2 at end of round for each splash (or ripple from jokerevolution) owned and it's simply not paying out the bonus?
i made sure other end round bonuses work (golden joker i just checked is working)

mr bones' code in card.lua doesn't indicate the method where it actually saves you from death? where is that done

is it just returning saved = true?

if self.ability.name == 'Mr. Bones' and context.game_over and

                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()

                            play_sound('tarot1')
                            self:start_dissolve()
                            return true
                        end
                    })) 
                    return {
                        message = localize('k_saved_ex'),
                        saved = true,
                        colour = G.C.RED

Except PLAY_TAROT is its own state so I don't know how to figure out if a tarot card is played during a round O_o

Cant you get the value though SMODS.find_card

wintry solar
#

Yeah just use find card here

stiff locust

but i want it to run more than once if there's more than one

it should create a double tag for each of that joker

maiden phoenix

The function gives you the amount of card

stiff locust
maiden phoenix
#

Just check the function

stiff locust
#

find card also hasn't been working well

crisp coral
#

SMODS.find_card returns a table with all instances of that card

stiff locust
#

for the jolly joker splash fusion find_card would always flag after the card was there at least once so the effect persisted after it was sold

#

i know this one isn't a me problem because math had the same thing

wintry solar
#

Flag for what? The fusion or the original jokers?

stiff locust
wintry solar
#

There’s no reason that would happen

Should probably make a suit collection in game tho

I have never stopped procrastinating on whatever type of usable/scalable playing card UI

Or a “category” đŸ€”

frosty dock

internally steamodded calls it an "object table"

Those are all forms of collection, I was just using the most general word possible (but in the process forgor that the game has an in-game area called "collection" 5head)

zealous glen
#

I thought everything was a set axiomatically

#

Well, I heard in Lua everything is a table, but I’m sure Lua is a set too balatrojoker

Yeah lua is a hellscape where everything is table

frosty dock

is the set of all sets that are valid lua programs a valid lua program? 💀

So no

wintry solar
frosty dock
gritty valley
frosty dock
wintry solar
#

Ah right yeah, I might have some time coming up to do some more UI stuff like that

zealous glen
#

Hence a set of all Lua programs sans structure isn’t a program

frosty dock
#

sets inherently don't have structure

gritty valley
#

I had an idea for an esolang like that once. Every func is just a mini-program where the args are passed in as pre-defined variables (so no mutability by default).

zealous glen
#

Hence why I don’t think a set would be a Lua program

gritty valley
#

I think it would just depend on whether you're allowing translation or not

zealous glen
#

They should make a programming language where you can take the limit balatrojoker

frosty dock
#

surely you can find a representation of lua programs as sets

gritty valley
#

Cus then if you pre-define certain numbers to represent tokens in lua then there you go

zealous glen
#

Like representing numbers as sets

#

Or tuples as sets

frosty dock
#

okay whatever

gritty valley

real

zealous glen
#

đŸ€”

frosty dock
#

okay maybe there isn't a "set of all sets" type paradox to be had here

#

fine

zealous glen
#

I don’t think so because it’s a collection of finite sets

frosty dock
#

either way, set theory is weird

zealous glen
#

Each Lua program is finite

#

So the set of all Lua programs is at most a countable union of finite sets

#

Well I guess it could be uncountable

gritty valley
frosty dock

Maybe not—the set of each Lua program with n characters is finite

Can I force skip a booster pack if a consumable is used?

hardy viper
#

call G.FUNCS.skip_booster

#

button callback but the button isnt used

#

alternatively call G.FUNCS.end_consumeable, if you want to skip all joker calculations for skipping packs (e.g. red card)

cerulean rose
#

for some reason my booster pack displays with the default atlas even though i have the atlas set

hushed ivy
#

How to fix that?

trying to stop a consumable from disappearing after it's used but am not having any luck
got this so far

target = "functions/button_callbacks.lua"
pattern = "local dont_dissolve = nil"
position = "after"
payload = '''
for k, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
  if v.ability.name == "j_pencil_pencil" then
    dont_dissolve = true
    break
  end
end
'''
match_indent = true

some print debugging shows that dont_dissolve is being set, but the card is still destroyed anyway

First time making a mod. Just copied another Tarot card mod and made my own from it, but it crashes the game. Tarots are 116x186 rather than 126x186 - do I need to add something to make this work?

#

Just tried with another pack at normal card size, seems my lua is probably wrong

@rough furnace seems that most debug keybinds dont work w jens (or at least jens with his modpack)

conflicting keybinds?

(idk, just guessing)

cant be that

not unless the implementation is really bad?

is there any way to call a function after a hand is played and calculated, ONLY ONCE?

One per hand? Round? Ante? Joker? Game? User profile?

right?

id call it a hook

?

nvm

hardy viper
#

i mean if you want to be sure you can do

local oldevplay = G.FUNCS.evaluate_play
function G.FUNCS.evaluate_play(...)
    oldevplay(...)
    myfunction()
end
#

but there shouldnt ever be more than that one argument

thx!

# pearl bane ~~overriding~~ detouring evaluate_play it is

I always find it funny how there are seemingly three terms for this. 'Hook' is most popular and widely accepted, 'detour' is exactly the same but used rarer, and 'advice' seems to be a relic of the past when hooks were deliberate/intended places to run external functions within a function.

I like calling it "wrapping" a function

Yeah 1.0 made keybinds need Ctrl to run by default, with a keybimd to toggle it. Was mostly made so I'm not taking up half the keyboard from other mods and so people don't accidentally trigger other Keybinds (especially distructive ones). I tried to make it clear you had to hold Ctrl and its togglable in the config in everywhere you would see keybinds and put a warning in the changelog. I'm not sure if there would be somewhere better for people to see it or if this is just a case of you just updated the mod willy nilly and then they keybinds you are used to stoped working so you were confused.

Hey all, completely new to modding

I was wondering if there was a way to show money gained after a blind (like the Golden Joker) but for a deck? I want to give the player money after a boss blind but have it show up in the UI. It already does give the player money but it just kinda pops up instead of showing it visually

bleak cave

# bleak cave Have you tried `ease_dollars(n)`?

I haven't, it's currently just using G.GAME.dollars = G.GAME.dollars + 10 after it checks for the boss blind in particular. I'm honestly not that great with code so just mostly referencing from others haha

bleak cave
#

Instead of that, just do ease_dollars(10)

#

It will animate and add dollars to the player

Ahhh okay, thank you so much

does anyone have working code for a joker that increases its sell value at end of round (like egg)
keep trying to get it to work but can't, joker does nothing

elder vapor
#

check source code for egg

cobalt citrus
#

did, copy pasted, doesn't work
setting loc_vars to self.ability.extra crashes the game so i have to set it to card.ability.extra, but then it does nothing

faint yacht
#

The calculate part of should have the context.end_of_round condition check and then you can apply the change to card.sell_cost.

cobalt citrus
#

still doesn't work
i must be doing something wrong because something like this

config = { extra = 1 },
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = { card.ability.extra } }
end,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.end_of_round and not context.blueprint then
card.sell_cost = card.sell_cost + card.ability.extra
card:set_cost()
return {
card = card,
message = localize('k_val_up'),
colour = G.C.MONEY
}
end
end,

doesn't work

worldly moss
#

possible issue

#

unless that just runs the update loop for the sell cost, since you do set the sell cost above it

#

i haven't looked too deep into the games source yet, but its pretty small compared to some others so I could probably go find it

faint yacht
#

Oddly enough, I didn't use that when setting the sell value of the two "joke" Jokers to 0.

cerulean rose
#

set card.ability.extra_value to increase the sell value of a joker

#

card:set_cost() updates the cost based on things like edition, extra value, etc.

cobalt citrus
#

config = { extra = 1 },
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = { card.ability.extra } }
end,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.end_of_round and not context.blueprint then
card.ability.extra_value = card.sell_cost + card.ability.extra
card.set_cost()
return {
message = localize('k_val_up'),
colour = G.C.MONEY
}
end

yea i can't figure this one out because this also doesn't work

elder vapor
#

extra_value is used in the Card:set_cost() calculation so thats why you wanna increase that value

cobalt citrus
#

ok question
if you have a game with a custom joker and you edit the joker's code, does that apply to the current game or do you have to restart
(i know that if a joker has a probability you have to restart for the new probability to take effect)
because it still did nothing when i updated with that code so i restarted thinking i had to find it again and now i can't find the joker in any game

hardy viper
#

but yes it applies to current games

cerulean rose
#

you have to restart the game, but not the run

hardy viper
#

^

cobalt citrus
#

ah ok thanks
well anyway i got lucky and randomly found the joker but the code still doesn't work unfortunately
so yeah i'm completely stuck now, nothing is working
just to clarify not only does the sell value not go up but the message also doesn't appear, does nothing
can't believe it's this hard to make a joker that does the same thing as egg lol

#

it gets worse
this joker has a second calculate function that does something different under the sell value one and it works as intended, but when i removed that code and just left the sell value part (because maybe the second function was what was causing the sell value to not work), the game crashes at the end of the round and gives the error "'for' limit must be a number"

cobalt citrus
#

ok so i managed to make it work
but now for whatever reason the sell value increasing triggers 7 times instead of just one???
it might have to do with the fact that the joker cost is 6 and the listed increase in value is 1, 6 + 1 = 7, no idea why it triggers that many times though

crisp coral
#

are you using context.end_of_round

cobalt citrus
#

yes

crisp coral
#

if context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.individual then

cobalt citrus
#

thanks, this worked
finally i have a working increase sell value joker :3 after so long lol

any way to juice up another card while retriggering with a joker?

#

i'm trying to make a joker with an effect of “retrigger each played 4 once for each 7 held in hand” and want the 7 to animate when retriggering the 4

wintry solar
#

How are you identifying the 7?

cerulean rose
#

iterate over G.hand.cards

#

v.base.id == 7

crisp coral
#

can you not do v:juice_up() during that

cerulean rose
#

the only return smods gives has a single repetition

#

i'm unsure how to manually trigger the 4

hardy viper
#

wait no

#

that's vanilla

#

card:get_id or soemthing

#

im not entirely sure

teal estuary
#

how would you go about changing a cards rank when its in a played hand? im gonna presume theres a modded joker to base it off of, but i have no idea 😭

the joker idea is that if you play a king, it will turn into a queen and vice versa

in fact, I don't think individual is EVER called in end_of_round

Okay to clean up what happened
version of mod had nothing to do with glitch, i first installed them on 0.9.8, and then on 1.0.0, it just turns out i didn't cleaned some file stuff and it kinda conflicted

#

And when i deleted and reinstalled everything, it worked like clockwork

zealous glen
#

I can extend it to Jokers

#

If you used the code I sent you for reference we are basically already collabing anyways :P

wooden nexus
#

Lemme play around rq

crisp coral
#

_tag argument needs to be a Tag object

#

so you need to create a tag with Tag() first

wooden nexus
#

but now the problem is different

# 
            add_tag(Tag('tag_orbital'))
            local _poker_hands = {}
            for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
                if v.visible then _poker_hands[#_poker_hands+1] = k end
            end
            G.P_TAGS['tag_orbital'].ability.orbital_hand = pseudorandom_element(_poker_hands, pseudoseed('orbital'))  
        end,
      }```

All that needs to be done for now are the booster packs and then release the ShinkuLib Update

Hi, quick question, steammodded 1.0 is good or steammodded 0.9.8 is still used by the majority of the mods ? Bc the pokemon mod isnt working for me

teal estuary
#

1.0.0 is used by essentially all mods

undone sapphire
#

Bc i kindaaaa made the game crash on all mods by updating (haahhh why its not working with nexus.....)

teal estuary
#

yeah any mod that was working on 0.9.8 will either not be on 1.0.0, or you’ll need to get the 1.0.0/most recent version

zealous glen
#

I meant an API for displaying these values

#

So other effects could grant them to cards and Jokers

#

But I can probably work from that

zealous glen
civic pebble
#

How do I make it so the joker spawns as just an eternal card? I've tried "eternal" but that doesn't work, and I don't want it to be negative

add_joker("j_lusty_joker", "negative", true, true)

#

(It's supposed to spawn at the start of the game as part of a deck)

languid mirage
#

go into balatro source code and check definition for add_joker function

#

then you can probably do it with a hook

#

but I think steamodded might have override for this function?

civic pebble
#

There is this which is for a challenge I assume?
