[placid frigate]

what more information do you need, the whole error message or my code?

[gritty valley]

Gimme the whole error log first

[gritty valley]

Lemme see the calculate function for the broken joker

[placid frigate]

      if context.after and not context.blueprint then
      for index, card2 in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
        if card2:is_suit("Hearts") then
            Card:start_dissolve(card2)
            card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod
           end
        end
      end
      if context.joker_main and card.ability.extra.Xmult >= 1 then
        return {
        message = localize{type='variable',key='a_xmult',vars={card.ability.extra.Xmult}},
        X_mult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
        card = card
        }
      end
    end
}```

[gritty valley]

You should call card2:start_dissolve() not Card:start_dissolve(card2)

That might be the issue

[placid frigate]

let me try

[placid frigate]

I got a new error

[gritty valley]

it should be self.config.Xmult_mod

[placid frigate]

so self.config.Xmult_mod instead of card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod

[gritty valley]

Yes

[placid frigate]

it's giving the same error

[gritty valley]

Ok send me your full code

[placid frigate]

this is it

[gritty valley]

Your config is setup wrong

[placid frigate]

how should it be set up then?

[gritty valley]

Check the example jokers mods that comes with steamodded

[placid frigate]

would it be ability.extra.Xmult_mod in the config instead of increase?

[gritty valley]

No, the config field on your joker object is not formatted correctly. It should be like this ```lua
config = { Xmult = 1, Xmult_mod = 1 }

[placid frigate]

oh I see

why would you want to not use extra then

[gritty valley]

~~Because

1. It's not how you do it in SMODS
2. It's a useless extra layer of table
3. It's vague~~

[placid frigate]

ok

[wintry solar]

Using extra is recommended

The game only copies specific values from the config table when it creates the joker, but it will copy the entire extra table always. Using the extra table will guarantee that your joker has the values you want it to have, and they can be accessed by card.ability.extra.key

[gritty valley]

Ah I didn't know that

[placid frigate]

me neither

so I should but { Xmult = 1, Xmult_mod = 1 } in the extra tabel

[gritty valley]

So yeah it should be config = { Xmult_mod = 1, extra = {Xmult = 1} }

[placid frigate]

why would the Xmult_mod = 1 not be part of the extra table?

[gritty valley]

I presume it's a static value that doesn't need to be changed?

As in it won't increase or decrease when the joker is in play

[placid frigate]

the base value wouldn't. I'm trying to have it where every Heart card played increases the Xmult by 1 then destroys the played heart cards (1xmult -> 2 heart cards are played -> 3x mult) almost like a mix between vampire or sixth sense

[wintry solar]

Just put them all in the extra table

It’s easier to remember that way and harder to screw up

[gritty valley]

Yeah, but how much you add to the value each time doesn't change. So it doesn't need to be in the extra table. It can be, but it's useless to add it there and it's also best practice to seperate your static and non-static variables

[zenith sage]

for k, v in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                        print(k,v)
                    end

returns (when playing a pair)
1, nil, 2, nil
all cards are just nil all the time
what am i doing wrong

[placid frigate]

it STILL giving me the same error

[gritty valley]

Send the calc func

[placid frigate]

    ---context.after is after the hand is scored
    ---not context.blueprint means this part cannot be copied by Blueprint
      if context.after and not context.blueprint then
      ---loops through every card in played hand
      for index, card2 in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
        ---check for hearts suit, card2 is the value in the current loop
        if card2:is_suit("Hearts") then
          ---destroy the card
            card2:start_dissolve()
            ---increment Xmult value by adding increase to the Xmult value
            card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + self.config.Xmult_mod
           end
        end
      end```

do you also want the context?

[gritty valley]

Send the config field

[placid frigate]

config = { Xmult = 1, extra = {Xmult_mod = 1} },

just like we talked about before

[gritty valley]

Yeah sorry I sent it wrong way around at first, it should be config = { Xmult_mod = 1, extra = {Xmult = 1} }

That's mb

[placid frigate]

what's the difference between Xmult and Xmult_mod

[gritty valley]

That's a you question, honestly you could just get rid of Xmult_mod and do card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + 1

[wintry solar]

Though I still don’t recommend not using the extra table, it should be card.ability.Xmult_mod

[placid frigate]

ok so the game stoped crashing but the mult isn't being added

it's giving the pop up saying it's mult

new doe incase you need to look at it

[placid frigate]

where should card.ability.Xmult_mod go then?

[wintry solar]

After the +

[zenith sage]

i think you might just need a joker_main context returning xmult = card.ability.Xmult

[wintry solar]

You need a message for the pop up text when you increase the mult, using card_eval_status_text or SMODS.eval_this

[placid frigate]

would it still need to be in my config?

[zenith sage]

like

        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.x_mult,
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.x_mult } }
            }
        end

[wintry solar]

Yea

[placid frigate]

config = { Xmult_mod = 1, extra = {Xmult_mod = 1} }

[wintry solar]

Generally, any values you need in your joker should be defined in the config table, and I’d recommend using the extra table within that so you can ensure they’re all copied over (like I said before, there are very specific keywords that will be copied over regardless). When you need to use them in your calculate function (or other functions, loc_vars in particular) you use card.ability.extra.blablabla

So when I’m creating scaling Xmult jokers, for example, I set config = {extra = {xmult = 1, gain = 0.25}} and then my scaling line would look like card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.gain. Using the extra table like this means that your joker has can set your variables to be named whatever you like, so you can be really specific with names in more advanced calculations

[placid frigate]

so the card.ability calls from config, .extra. calls from the extra table and the last part are the values you put in the tabele?

also note how how do you get the code parts to be the same line in discord mine keep making new lines

[gritty valley]

Single `` instead of```````

[placid frigate]

like this hopefully

ok thanks

ok, so I don't know what it is, but only when I do card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + 1 does NOT not crash

but it's still not counting towards the X_mult (nor the t=chips I might add)

[sage umbra]

why is nil

[teal estuary]

isnt it card.ability.extra.X ?

[nocturne garnet]

not in loc_vars

[nocturne garnet]

i genuinely have no idea

for some reason x_mult is nil or something

[teal estuary]

fair enkugh

[earnest zealot]

If you haven’t already, try starting a new run and spawning a fresh copy of the joker, going back into the same run can cause issues with variables if you’ve been changing them

[nocturne garnet]

it is not mine

[earnest zealot]

Whoopsie

[frosty dock]

it is, they just named the card arg center

[teal estuary]

ooooh, cool

[sage umbra]

yeah im literally astounded

i ont know whats wrong

oh.

[nocturne garnet]

it should be destroyed after 114 hands

or whatever that number was

i forgot

[pearl bane]

is there any luaLS settings for a better modding experience (auto completion and such)? I'm using zed, so anything beyond LuaLS settings or at best a modified LuaLS binary is out of the question.

[maiden phoenix]

Isnt an index already in the work?

[tidal edge]

the suggestion they're making is from the csl i think

wouldn't be allowed to be changed

[nocturne garnet]

oh damn

[hardy viper]

it's not being worked on but yeah

that poll made it get thought about again i guess

might start getting some attention once beta happens

[undone sapphire]

Does some of y’all created mods without much experience in coding ? Because I would like to create one but I wonder if it’s that difficult

[teal estuary]

i have no formal expirence in coding, in any capacity

i've learnt all i know about lua through balatro modding raisedcateyebrow~2

[undone sapphire]

Oh okay !

[pearl bane]

Can a joker be spawned in a shop using debugplus?

[zenith sage]

wow yeah

beautiful

[pearl bane]

?

[rough furnace]

Ah yes the like 5th mod index

[zealous glen]

Is there documentation on how to use the RetriggerAPI?

[arctic lion]

which of these functions triggers first? obviously i only want to calculate the odds once, is there a priority to these things or is it simply based on which is higher in the code?
```lua
calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card)
local rand = pseudorandom('JokerTest')
local pOdds = G.GAME.probabilities.normal / currentOdds
print(rand, pOdds)
end,

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.individual and not context.blueprint then
local rand = pseudorandom('JokerTest')
local pOdds = G.GAME.probabilities.normal / currentOdds
print(rand, pOdds)
end

end

[zealous glen]

It's based on whatever order the game runs them in

[arctic lion]

yeah calculate would come before the screen comes up i suppose

[jaunty fulcrum]

whats the best way to figure out why im crashing all the time?

[arctic lion]

read the crash log

[crisp coral]

via the crash log

[jaunty fulcrum]

yes, I have that but my little brain doesnt understand the log

[arctic lion]

that's programming i'm afraid, logs are your best asset to root for a problem

you can show us but we can only take you so far

[crisp coral]

send the crash log here and someone might be able to help

[arctic lion]

it usually pinpoints the line or area the problem occurs

[zealous glen]

Asking again about RetriggerAPI since it got buried

[thick panther]

How do you check when the game has ran through all joker abilities for a played poker hand, then execute code there before the scoring finishes?

[frosty dock]

refer to #1247703015222149120 message

[arctic lion]

has anyone tried dynamically changing the name/text of loc_txt yet? Or would it be easier/better to create another joker that replaces it based on if the conditions are met?

[wintry solar]

You can dynamically change them

[arctic lion]

is it as simple as loc_txt.text = { "new info" }?

[nocturne garnet]

naw prob not

[rough furnace]

no

[arctic lion]

yeah thought not kek

[rough furnace]

you can use variables if it's something simple

otherwise you need to make new keys and swap them

not sure the entire process

[arctic lion]

i think i can do something clever with loc_vars and just have it point to the same variable in there

[tidal ice]

not entirely sure what the issue is here, it has something to do with loc_vars not being able to read the config for one reason or another, it says the ability value is nil

(btw it doesnt currently reduce by 1 each hand, that is something I will add once I get this done)

its proably smth stupid lol

[arctic lion]

yeah can confirm

[arctic lion]

it's not center right it should be card

[tidal ice]

ah

[mystic river]

at some point we're gonna have to make a mod index index

[teal estuary]

also, whats the lowest id a stone card can be? i found it once in the source code and never again, and it'd be easier to ask here 😭

[rough furnace]

-100 to -1000000

[teal estuary]

ty ty

[zenith sage]

im having an issue where every card is registering as nil and impossible to get info on
does anyone know why that might be

for example

                    for k, v in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                        print(k,v)
                    end

returns
1, nil, 2,nil, etc

[rough furnace]

how are you checking the print

[zenith sage]

lovely console

[rough furnace]

iirc lovely bug

[zenith sage]

ah

[rough furnace]

try print(k,tprint(v))

also DebugPlus's console doens't have the same bug

[tidal ice]

I basically just copied seltzer's code while editing a few things but I'm getting a crash that says something along the lines of a function needing to be a number rather than... whatever it is, it seemingly didnt give me a line where the issue is, I wish the log was saved as a text file or smth

as far as I can tell, there doesnt seem to be any syntax errors, I checked

for context this is a food joker that loses mult every hand

[rough furnace]

whats your config look like on your joker?

[tidal ice]

        mult = 10,
        mult_mod = 1
        }
    }

[rough furnace]

send crash

[tidal ice]

wait hang on I need to figure out where it is in the first place

[zenith sage]

mods/lovely

[rough furnace]

you can copy from the crash screen or Mods/lovely/logs

[tidal ice]

im gonna have to censor my name out of this, for some reason my user folder is my real fuckin name I need to change that

I think this is it

[rough furnace]

Not too sure but I think this is a you're returning something wrong in a certain context

[tidal ice]

ill see

[spare nebula]

Where can i learn to make mods?

[tidal ice]

gonna see if posting the code will make it easier to spot

ignore the `s

[nocturne garnet]

Quaso

[tidal ice]

https://youtu.be/Zp-4U5TlbxY?si=cynb-VfZ89iOSI5E
this video helped me learn the basics, while looking in the base game's code and other mods helped me more

[nocturne garnet]

Hey, I think I've seen this before...

🤔

[tidal ice]

thats crazy

[nocturne garnet]

you should probably listen to the amalgam at the end....

download the #1248287850512781452

[tidal ice]

oh yeah ive been meaning to check that out actually

[wintry swallow]

What does match_indent do exactly in patches?

[rough furnace]

makes it so when your patch is inserted it has indenting

[nocturne garnet]

it matches your indent you could say

[wintry swallow]

Ok but for the pattern I search (without regex) do I need to add the indent in the pattern string?

[rough furnace]

no

if your pattern matches line() then in this file

if 1 then
   if 2 then
       line()
   end
end

if match_indent is true, you get:

if 1 then
   if 2 then
       line()
       patch()
   end
end

otherwise you get

if 1 then
   if 2 then
       line()
patch()
   end
end

[wintry swallow]

Hmm weird why doesn't it find the line

[rough furnace]

is it erroring in the console?

[wintry swallow]

Oh actually, looks like steammooded has inserted something

[rough furnace]

yeah patch conflict could cause issues

[wintry swallow]

How do i figure out what the code looks like after steamodded has modified it?

[rough furnace]

look at the lovely dump

[teal estuary]

is the modifier that scales text {S:#}{}?

[wintry swallow]

Got it

That's easier than I thought

Though brittle as fuck 😄

[nocturne garnet]

nope its {s:number} {}

[teal estuary]

GOODLORDWHATISHAPPENINGINTHERE~1

[nocturne garnet]

minor misspelling mistake

code ruined

[teal estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/minor-spelling-mistake-gif-21179057

[rough furnace]

aren't the modifiers case insensitive?

[nocturne garnet]

i have no idea lmfao

[teal estuary]

also it feels weird if its s: for scale, but C: or X: for colouration

[nocturne garnet]

C:color, X: xmult shit

[wintry swallow]

Actually does LUA allow ternary operators inside an expression? Like does this work:
repetitions = 1 + (G.GAME.n_seal_repeats or 5)

[teal estuary]

S:# does work, using it rn

[nocturne garnet]

dang

didnt knwo

[teal estuary]

imagine

[rough furnace]

thats not a ternary operator but yes that works

[wintry swallow]

Eh right not ternary but it's rtelative that I don't know the name of

[rough furnace]

it's a boolean operator

[wintry swallow]

Oh lol

Right

[nocturne garnet]

The grandmas are coming.

[wintry swallow]

I knew that

https://tenor.com/view/boki-boki-world-nft-crypto-fourleafclover-gif-26244744

[teal estuary]

nvm, im just stupid

it is s:

thats.. annoying

[nocturne garnet]

i KNOW, RIGHT??

[teal estuary]

☹️

[wintry swallow]

Woo, lovely makes it possible to get Windows error message popups in Linux

[frosty dock]

it really isn't lovely making that possible, it's just that Linux runs the game by emulating windows

[rough furnace]

thats just wine/proton

[wintry swallow]

Well if we get that technical, WINE is not emulation

[rough furnace]

depends on your definitojn of emulation

[frosty dock]

oh right, WINE is a recursive acronym for "WINE is not a emulator"

[wintry swallow]

I wonder if you could use patches to make R code look readable

[arctic lion]

has there ever been a joker that changes the type of a card whilst it's in your hand? a bit like how midas mask converts face cards into gold when scored, could you change the suit/rank of a card that isn't played?

i have no idea how i'd even start

[rough furnace]

yeah probably

[frosty dock]

surely

[rough furnace]

would take a look at how strength changes cards and then when midas mask runs and then jsut do it

[wintry solar]

I haven't done any jokers that do that (unless I have forgotten about them) but ortalab has just released zodiac cards that have a lot of hand interaction during scoring

[arctic lion]

i'll check it out

[thick panther]

How do you modify an existing joker's calculate method? I learned how to add a joker with a custom calculate method, but idk how to modify an existing one.

[frosty dock]

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('j_joker', { -- replace with whatever key you need
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
  -- ...
  end,
})

add an additional argument of true at the end if you don't want the joker to get your mod badge

[tidal ice]

is there a thing such as context.after_scoring? I want this joker to do smth right after all the cards and jokers have scored, like how seltzer does

[frosty dock]

yes, it's called context.after though

[thick panther]

So something like this?

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('j_joker, {calc method here}, true)

[frosty dock]

you dropped a ', but yes

[thick panther]

Okay, thank you

[tidal ice]

I tried doing that before but there was smth wrong with it I think, lemme try again

[frosty dock]

it's what seltzer uses

[tidal ice]

YES it works

idk what was up earlier

[thick panther]

Is there a way to calculate the mult based on the money the player has and display that in the loc_txt? GAME seems inaccessible in the config.

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('j_greedy_joker', {

    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Greedy Joker',
        text = {
            'Multiplies {C:mult}mult{} based on how',
            'much {C:money}money{} you have. {C:money}$100{} = {X:mult,C:white}X1{}',
            'Current mult: {X:mult,C:white}X#1#{}'
        }
    },

    local_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return {vars = {center.ability.extra.Xmult}}
    end,

    config = { extra = {
        Xmult = G.GAME.dollars / 100
    }},

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            
            -- $100 = 1x mult. $80 = 0.8x mult.
            return {
                card = card,
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                message = 'X' .. card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end
    end

}, true)

[rough furnace]

config is ony set when your mod is first loaded

probably want to use update

see how bootsraps does it

[pearl bane]

is there a way to see the context of the joker being added to the deck?

(e.g. from a booster pack or bought)

[rough furnace]

not sure

maybe checking G.STATE

[pearl bane]

oh no I'm not doing calculate magickery

[rough furnace]

theres add_to_deck

if you just want to know whne it's aquored

oh wait

unless you mean deteitng when another joker is being added

[wintry solar]

what are you trying to do?

[pearl bane]

I want to set the money to 0 upon buying the joker

currently it sets it to -{joker value}

[rough furnace]

by buying the joker do you mean your joker or any joker

[pearl bane]

only when buying the modded joker

[wintry solar]

change the cost in set_ability

[rough furnace]

you can use add_to_deck to and remeber to chekc the from_debuff

[pearl bane]

again, it can be obtained from booster packs

[rough furnace]

also technically judgement

[pearl bane]

anything that gives jokers for free
tags, even

[rough furnace]

well tags just put them in the shop for you to buy

I would see what the state is

[wintry solar]

use set_ability to set the cost of the joker and then add_to_deck to set it back if it's screwing up the sell value

I'm pretty sure that would work

[rough furnace]

no I think they want t oset your money to 0 not the price

[pearl bane]

when does set_ability work?

[rough furnace]

when the joker is created iirc

[pearl bane]

yeah I want to take ALL money

[rough furnace]

if you did want it to always be free I think you can just put couponed = true in your config

[pearl bane]

at this point might as well do a lovely patch

it's $7 but I want it to take all remaining money

dollar buffer momento?

[wintry solar]

oh right

but it only takes money if you buy it?

[pearl bane]

yes

[wintry solar]

you can use context.buying_card

and then check that context.card == card

[thick panther]

Does take_ownership override all values of a Joker or only the ones you specify? For example, If I have calculate, and loc_txt in the take_ownership method, would that only override their respectful values?

[pearl bane]

yeah my ass thought I gotta do context.card.ability.name == name

[pearl bane]

so then I gotta make a new variable in config?

[wintry solar]

no

just a calculate function

[pearl bane]

yeah that sounds about uncomplicated and more reasonable

[rough furnace]

looks like the game calls calcuate with buying_joker = true and your joker as the card when you buy it

just check if context.card == card and then its buyign you

[pearl bane]

funny how buying_card isn't even used in the main game

[wintry solar]

there are a few things like that where thunk just doesnt use them

[wintry solar]

here's another one

[rough furnace]

oh cool

[pearl bane]

wait why can't I see the problem

[rough furnace]

it's swapping mult and chips

[pearl bane]

wait

bruh so that was the swap eval type

[rough furnace]

silly knife idea, instatly destory any bought joker

[pearl bane]

scoped knife

[wintry solar]

there's also effects[ii].extra.func which executes a function you return, I don't think base game uses that either iirc

[rough furnace]

oh

would that be like making an instant event and doing your stuff?

also thers add_joker(id) which will create and add the given joker or consumable id which is technically unused

[wintry solar]

it sort of adds the event without using the event manager from what I remember

[pearl bane]

is there any docs on events?

[rough furnace]

It's used to debug spawn jokers and in some unused sandbox code

actually yes

https://gist.github.com/WilsontheWolf/87475e6ac25857d8a7c73d3cf81f972a

[wintry solar]

oh snap I remember that

lets get it on the wiki

you happy for me to throw it on wilson?

[pearl bane]

ngl SMODS/Balatro is still fairly undocumented

[rough furnace]

yeah go ahead

[rough furnace]

it's better than it was a few months ago

theres a lot of balatr to document

and SMODS has only recently had most of it's api semi-stable

[wintry solar]

there we go

oh I have an edited UI one in my DMs too

[rough furnace]

The issue is everyone deep into modding baaltro is so used to reverse engineering baaltro's code, SMODS code is super easy to reverse engineer

[pearl bane]

wait, so what about when it's free? is it still buying_card if it's gained in booster packs? if so, how to get the price?

I'm sorry btw I'm 3 days into modding or lua in general

[wintry solar]

buying_card is only from the shop iirc

[tepid crow]

Very true. It's a pain to get going but once you know what to do you just start searching through the files every time you need something

Nice Christmas hat btw

[rough furnace]

free yes, booster I don't think so (try it and see)

[pearl bane]

ahhh
what to do then

ykw

[worldly moss]

how do I use add_to_deck in a deck?

[frosty dock]

I want to write up some docs, what do we need most?

[worldly moss]

like I want to add a joker to your deck on start

[thick panther]

Can loc_txt not be overrided in SMODS.Joker:take_owenership? It still defaults to the text in the localization scripts.

[rough furnace]

util.lua

[pearl bane]

I think add_to_deck with some "flags" in config is actually better. but there's a problem of not knowing the price

[rough furnace]

like everyt function in it

[worldly moss]

this is what i've kinda thrown together in my thing

[frosty dock]

fair, we've been missing that

[rough furnace]

explain why to use it and what vanilla function it repalces

[worldly moss]

I literally just want it to add a showman with poly

[tepid crow]

It might be already parsed at that point?

[rough furnace]

shouldn't be (?)

[frosty dock]

it should work from what I remember

[rough furnace]

but I know how to force it to redo localization if nessicary

[frosty dock]

but using loc files is preferable anyways

[wintry solar]

c:set_edition('e_polychrome', 1, 1)

[rough furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/samueljackson-stupid-decision-avengers-gif-8475062

oh yeah thats not how you make a joker

[tepid crow]

All this unnecessary hate for localization files

[rough furnace]

I'm lazy

[wintry solar]

loc files are bis

[rough furnace]

it's a shrimple as that

[frosty dock]

i won't stop you

[rough furnace]

I should switch soon

but for now it's easier for development

[thick panther]

How would you force it to redo localization?

[frosty dock]

if you're ever in a situation where you want to have localization in a mod, you won't want inline loc_txt anymore

[worldly moss]

how does taking ownership work??

[rough furnace]

see I'm more worried about getting art then localization

[worldly moss]

is it the same as it was in 0.9.8??

[tepid crow]

I suggest you use the localization file instead

[thick panther]

Would I create a new one in my Mod's dir and update that?

[rough furnace]

init_localization() (it's probably not nessicary)

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/03.-API-Documentation when did we drop this from the sidebar

[rough furnace]

uhh I thought the sidebar was auto populated tbh

[tepid crow]

Yeah

[rough furnace]

oh also for docs the making a mod section should be removed from getting statted and be it's own page with a lot more detail

[frosty dock]

eremel made a custom one

[rough furnace]

it's litterally this is the file header, go figure the rest out

[wintry solar]

it's fancy ✨

but I don't know, I'll add it back now

[frosty dock]

yeah it's just the metadata format

tbh we could make a full guide out of that

[tepid crow]

There is stuff missing from the custom sidebar (mostly the subheaders)

[frosty dock]

migration guide also went missing

but that's neither a real page nor a guide

[wintry solar]

if you haven't migrated by now you can dig through the old sidebar to find it imo

or maybe I can dump it ith the 0.9.8 stuff

or do we remove that too?

[tepid crow]

Is there any real reason for the 0.9.8 docs to still exist?

[worldly moss]

local c = G.P_CENTERS[j_ring_master] would this be the right way to get showman in a variable??

cause I know P_CENTERS is a table, so calling the key would work?

maybe>

?

[frosty dock]

G.P_CENTERS['j_ring_master'] almost

[worldly moss]

awww so close

[frosty dock]

needs to be a string

[worldly moss]

ah

I had thought since the key in the table wasn't a string it wouldn't be closed

[frosty dock]

else you're doing G.P_CENTERS[nil] most of the time which crashes the game

[rough furnace]

I think what you are looking for is SMODS.create_card

[worldly moss]

?

[frosty dock]

you can however do G.P_CENTERS.j_ring_master

[rough furnace]

Youre trying to give the user a card, right?

[worldly moss]

yea, one that already exists, so I thought I could just use the add_to_deck function with I looked through and should work

[frosty dock]

not really, tho it would still be reachable thru git revision history if someone really wanted them

[rough furnace]

Centers are more like blueprints used to make cards

#⚙・modding-general message this code should work but you have to change it for jokers

[wintry solar]

with the custom sidebar we can just leave them in the old sidebar

it's still accessible

[frosty dock]

there's also this bit of reference which never made it into 1.0 docs https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/[OUTDATED]-Add-or-Replace-a-Sprite#base-references

[rough furnace]

set = "Joker" G.jokers:emplace(card) Remove the consumeablr buffer line

[frosty dock]

arguably you just look at the code if you need that

[rough furnace]

And change the key to shoeman's

[frosty dock]

i think I'm in favor of just kicking it off the sidebar for now

[worldly moss]

huh... I would've thought just targeting the already created card would work there...

[rough furnace]

That's the center not a card

[worldly moss]

ohh...

[frosty dock]

also i think we should get rid of the numbering of the page titles / file names

it's out of order with the new sidebar

[rough furnace]

Center is the information about how to make a card and card is the instance of the card in the game

[rough furnace]

Can't wait for all links to break

[wintry solar]

it's an easy fix 😢

[frosty dock]

it'll just send you home

[worldly moss]

so this will about work?

[rough furnace]

I'm already home

[frosty dock]

fine

so am I

[worldly moss]

hooray!

[frosty dock]

I'd opt to leave the getting started page's name intact so the links don't break, the rest isn't as important

[wintry solar]

change them and I'll fix the links

do we just want the numbers removing?

[rough furnace]

SMODS.create_card can force an edition but that's fine to

[frosty dock]

changing the sidebar links isn't much of a concern, it might just be irritating for trying to use links posted in other places

[wintry solar]

oh that is true

duplicate the pages with new names

[frosty dock]

for something like https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/05.-SMODS.Center#smodsback-formerly-smodsdeck, I'm inclined not to care

[rough furnace]

If were going to break links I say just break them and will fix them as they crop up

[frosty dock]

it's just that the getting started page has been refed a lot and is probably in a bunch of other places

though it just sends you to home so it's not hard to find the real page from there

fuck it we ball

[rough furnace]

TBH home could be the getting started page

[frosty dock]

good point

[wintry solar]

I wonder if the sidebar can have collapsible parts

[frosty dock]

cursed filename [Guide-‐-Joker-Calculation.md]

oh these are different -s

vscode displays them the same lmao

[frosty dock]

markdown supports them, so yes

https://gist.github.com/pierrejoubert73/902cc94d79424356a8d20be2b382e1ab

[autumn coral]

how do i get the rarity of a joker in G.Jokers.cards?

is it just G.Jokers.cards[i].rarity?

[frosty dock]

G.jokers.cards[i].config.center.rarity

[autumn coral]

thanks

[frosty dock]

1 is common, 2 is uncommon, 3 is rare, 4 is legendary

it's not guaranteed to be a number though, with custom rarities

[autumn coral]

yeah i know

i was just looking into it

my card rerolls all of the jokers in hand minus itself and i wanted it to keep rarity

pain in the ass tbh how thunk programmed it 😭

i had to make a huge if/else just to change it to 0.75 for uncommon and 0 for common 💀

because yes, create_card with 1,2,3,4 does nothing for whatever reason

[wintry solar]

rarity = (rarity == 4 and 4) or (rarity == 3 and 0.98) or (rarity == 2 and 0.75) or 0 this will change it for vanilla rarities

[autumn coral]

oh actually that's REALLY good

i'm fairly new to lua but that's so much more optimized

thanks

the 4 does nothing though unfortunately 😅

it has to have something set to true but that's alr

[wintry solar]

I don't know why I set it to 4 😆

[rough furnace]

4 is truethy

[wintry solar]

but I check later on if it is 4 for legendary stuff

[autumn coral]

it is but create_card needs to have the 3rd arg set to true to spawn a legendary and it ignores whatever the number is

this broke it actually

😭

wait nvm i'm just stupid

[wintry solar]

rarity == 4 as the arg is fine

[autumn coral]

yea ik

to my knowledge tho i still need the true statement tho iirc

pretty sure the arg is literally like _legendary or smf

coooool it works

i wanna keep working on the texturing for the nameplate, it kinda sucks ass lmfao

[wintry solar]

texturing the nameplate?

[autumn coral]

yeah

i'm working on that isaac mod

rn i'm on dice

i finished d20 yesterday, today was d4

also gonna try to do d6 today if i can

i think polyphemus will be legendary and have ^2 mult or smf

maybe i'll even make it exotic in tandem with cryptid or smf

[velvet cargo]

so why is the lovely mod flagged as a virus?

[tepid crow]

It behaves quite similar to some trojans. See https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started#step-1-anti-virus-setup

(ooh, nice job on moving the "Anti-virus setup" section to be first btw, whoever did that)

[wintry solar]

I wonder if we can get a chat bot in here to auto respond with that to messages that mention lovely and virus

[rough furnace]

Idk

[tepid crow]

the mods don't like bots haha

[rough furnace]

Meth should probably put the antivirus warking on the lovely downalod page

[tepid crow]

a bot that explained the cards by pulling from the wiki was suggested a couple times and denied

[gaunt thistle]

probably a good idea

since it's been such a massive pain in the ass

you would think that it would become trusted given the amount of people downloading and using it

[tepid crow]

my anti-virus actually said something new last time

it just gave this pop-up every time I launched the game but it didn't stop/remove anything

(I had no exclusions on this folder/file - I did have tell win def to allow it to stop the notifications)

[thick panther]

How do you get that grey subtext for a joker? Is that just part of the text field in loc_txt?

[teal estuary]

C:inactive

[weak depot]

does anybody know why this isn't destroying cards in rank 3?

deck.apply = function(self)

    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({

        func = function()

            for _, card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do

                for _, rank in ipairs({2, 3, 4, 14}) do
                    if rank == card:get_id() then
                        card:remove()
                    end
                end
            
            end

            return true
        end}))
end

like this should be incredibly simple i'm so confused

[gaunt thistle]

hopium, maybe this means they've updated their heuristic

I've figured out a fix and I would like you to test it when convenient

[thick panther]

When making the art for the back of a deck, do you setup the file the same as making joker art (71x95), or do you copy the whole enhancers.png file and add it there? If the latter, how do you make it work with other deck mods?

[tepid crow]

you do the same as what you do for joker art (make a new atlas .png that you load in)

[weak depot]

the aspect ratio is the same, i believe most card-related things are (decks, cards, consumables, jokers, etc)

[weak depot]

any help?

[thick panther]

Nvm figured it out

[tepid crow]

Well it's a really weird way to set the function. Are you sure you're setting it before it gets called?

[weak depot]

i mean it's a function that's part of SMODS.Back

i'm confused, how would you write it?

[tepid crow]

SMODS.Back {
    key = "example",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 4},
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Example Deck",
        text = { "Text" }
    },
    apply = function(self)
        ...
    end
}

[weak depot]

yeah

it's in there

it's just a way of me divvying them into separate files

[tepid crow]

pause

the Back definition and the apply definition are in separate files?

[weak depot]

so this is the load file's code to load the actual thing:

for _, v in ipairs(decks_to_load) do

    --load file and call it deck_loaded for this purpose so we can modify the deck and take from it instead of just its name like with deck_name
    local deck_loaded = SMODS.load_file("source/decks/" .. v .. ".lua")()
    
    --throw an error and instead of crashing the game like an angry toddler if the deck isn't found
    if not deck_loaded then
        sendErrorMessage("Error loading file " .. v .. ".lua", "Shellular's Deck of Cards")

    else
        --set "universal" info for every deck here so i don't have to write "atlas = 'deck_atlas'" 1 quadrillion times
        deck_loaded.key = v
        deck_loaded.atlas = "deck_atlas"
        deck_loaded.unlocked = true
        deck_loaded.discovered = true

        if not deck_loaded.pos then
            deck_loaded.pos = { x = 0, y = 0 }
        end
        
        local deck_obj = SMODS.Back(deck_loaded)

        --i'm a little stupid  & don't totally know what this means but it's basically going "for each function in the file, pull function and add it to deck_obj"
        for k_, v_ in pairs(deck_loaded) do
            if type(v_) == 'function' then
                deck_obj[k_] = deck_loaded[k_]
            end
        end

        --you did it *party.wav*
        sendInfoMessage("Loaded " .. v .. " deck successfully", "Shellular's Deck of Cards")
    end
end

and this is the file for the deck in question's code:

local deck = {
    name = "Harlequin Deck",
    pos = { x = 7, y = 0 },
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Harlequin Deck",
        text = {
            "Start run with no",
            "{C:attention}Aces{}, {C:attention}2s{}, {C:attention}3s{}, and {C:attention}4s{}",
            "in your deck"
        },
    },
    config = {},
}

deck.apply = function(self)

    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({

        func = function()

            for _, card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do

                for _, rank in pairs({2, 3, 4, 14}) do
                    if rank == card:get_id() then
                        card:remove()
                    end
                end
            
            end

            return true
        end}))
end

return deck

[thick panther]

How do you add a custom joker at start in a custom deck? Do you use the joker's key?

local greed_joker = create_card('j_greed', G.Jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil)
                greed_joker:add_to_deck()
                G.jokers:emplace(greed_joker)

[tepid crow]

Ah I see you just have the object call in the main file and all the definitions in another file. That makes a lot more sense than what I thought you were describing haha

[weak depot]

yeah i'm a bit less smart so i just go "this is what tells the other thing the properties to turn into a deck"

i'm still really confused on why it doesn't destroy threes

[tepid crow]

Yes, you need to use the joker's key.

On modded jokers, key is different from what you give it on instantiation, which basically boils down to [type]_[mod-prefix]_[original-key], e.g. j_lars_jimbo. See #💻・modding-dev message for some more examples.

Also, you probably want to use SMODS.add_card instead of create_card or add_joker.

[wintry solar]

You can add keys in the config to start with them too

[weak depot]

even if i copy the code from hack for selecting cards it doesn't select threes. what is happening

[tepid crow]

are you iterating over a table while you're modifying it?

(I can replicate btw. That was very confusing for a sec haha)

[weak depot]

(okay i'm glad i wasn't just being a dumbass and it was something that others struggled with too)

[weak depot]

i'll try not doing that

[tepid crow]

no worries, it's a common trap haha

just iterate using index

something like this should work #💻・modding-dev message

[tidal ice]

how would I get my mod to load extra lua files in a folder in the game's directory, it doesnt seem like they do so automatically

[tepid crow]

assert(SMODS.load_file("path/to/file.lua"))() I believe

[thick panther]

How do you set the rarity of a joker? I want to set one to rare (From looking at the source, I think thats an int at 2?)

[frosty dock]

rare is 3

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/Utility a

[thick panther]

My joker multiplies mult by how much money you have. However, its value is based on how much you have before you play your hand. So, if you play a gold seal card, the joker's mult will not reflect that when it triggers. How do I ensure that it does update correctly? Should I just use Xmult instead of the local mult?

update = function(self, card, dt)
        -- Calculate the multiplier
        card.ability.extra.Xmult = G.GAME.dollars / 100

    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            
            -- $100 = 1x mult. $80 = 0.8x mult.
            local mult = G.GAME.dollars / 100

            return {
                card = card,
                Xmult_mod = mult,
                message = 'X' .. card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end
    end,

[earnest zealot]

There’s a “buffer” variable you can add to it, ctrl+f through card.lua for bull or bootstraps and you’ll see it there

I don’t rember the specific name

[frosty dock]

G.GAME.dollar_buffer

[thick panther]

I assume its G.GAME.dollar_buffer? Would I use that in place of G.GAME.dollars in my equation?

[frosty dock]

no, you add it

(G.GAME.dollars + (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0)) / 100

[thick panther]

okay, thank you!

[frosty dock]

also you don't need the update function if you recalculate in loc_vars, there's no need to do it every frame

[thick panther]

I have it display in the text field of the Joker (Like how Joker Stensil displays the num of empty joker slots).

[frosty dock]

yeah i figured

[hot drift]

idk what im doing but this crashes when I try to open balatro with it

[frosty dock]

yes jestie, that is not proper syntax

[exotic hedge]

Do you think one would be fine with a spectral like this? I feel like It lacks a lot of detail that other spectrals have. This is my first time spriting, so I just want to know if it would be good enough to seem vanilla-ish

(Also would this be considered mod development? Since this is for a mod I'm making)

[tidal ice]

my joker works perfectly (yay!!!) but the only issue is that the description is incorrect, it displays the current xMult where the amount increased should be

and idk why that is

[frosty dock]

i like the looks, but it seems to be a bit shallow compared to other spectrals

it could use some more depth

[exotic hedge]

Yeah I see what you mean, I'll try and add some depth

forgive me for it being kinda ass since this is my first time lol

[frosty dock]

i could see the card looking like it's rotated a bit about that middle line

[exotic hedge]

wdym?

like it's being warped?

or the entire card

[thick panther]

How do you get the on hover effect with the description of something based on what is specified on a deck's (or even joker's) text field? For example, T:m_gold shows the description for a Gold Card. How could I do that for a modded joker?

text = {
            'Start with {C:money}$100{},',
            'Deck of {C:attention,T:m_gold}Double Gold{} cards.',
            'Start with the {C:red, T:j_gree_greed}Greed Joker{}.'
        },

[frosty dock]

say you take that inner card and rotated it so one side faces more towards you

[autumn coral]

how do i create a sync table that replaces any of the game's specified songs by default with mine btw

the wiki is NOT specific

[frosty dock]

dunno just an idea, I'm not an artist

[exotic hedge]

Oh I see, basically like Immolate?

[frosty dock]

sort of, though I was thinking of rotating about the vertical axis

[autumn coral]

oh nvm

[exotic hedge]

like this, right?

[autumn coral]

is create_replace_sound called by SMODS.Sound:create_replace_sound or is it standalone?

[frosty dock]

it's called on an instance of SMODS.Sound, i.e., what's returned by the constructor. But you can just put replace = 'music1' or similar in the constructor

[autumn coral]

how would that look /gen

[frosty dock]

yeah, but in a different direction. here the bottom side is rotated towards you, I'm thinking rotate about the vertical axis (where the sides flip) so the left or right side is closer

[frosty dock]

SMODS.Sound {
...
...
replace = 'music1',
...
...
}

[autumn coral]

nbm i figured it out

thx

[frosty dock]

{s:1.2}

[autumn coral]

does the name have to have the prefix i'm assuming?

the key*

[frosty dock]

or {s:whatever_number}

[frosty dock]

the key gets the prefix automatically. it just has to contain music for reasons™️

[autumn coral]

gotcha

wait what

oh

in the filename or in the key name

[frosty dock]

key

[autumn coral]

does it matter if i add an underscore after music

[frosty dock]

no, it just has to contain it as a substring

[exotic hedge]

something like this? pretend the red is the backside

[frosty dock]

i have a hard time seeing which way this is supposed to be rotated, but yes

might just be because it's out of context

[exotic hedge]

yeah i just did that really quick to see if that was what you were talking abt lol

[autumn coral]

ok so like where is there latency on my sync tracks 💀

[thick panther]

When making multiple decks, should you use just one atlas and lay the back images out next to eachother or should you use multiple atlases, with each back its own seperate file?

[exotic hedge]

@frosty dock tysm I havent warped the graphics yet but it looks SO good already

[autumn coral]

it's REALLY bad btw

[exotic hedge]

now idk how to warp the graphics 😭 🙏

[autumn coral]

like at least .25s delay

istg there was no delay in rx11

[orchid thunder]

what did i do wrong the local vars dont update correctly

[exotic hedge]

how would one warp the graphics on this so it looks like it's in it's correct orientation? I have no idea how to lol

I can imagine it but I can't do it

[tidal ice]

bumping as I am still not sure what the issue is

[arctic lion]

what are your loc_vars

[tidal ice]

oop gimme a sec

WAIT

[arctic lion]

they're both the same

[tidal ice]

YEAH I JUST REALIZED I'm stupid lol

lowkey embarassing

[thick panther]

How would I debuff all suits except a specified one? I assume I would use trigger_effect in SMODS.Back as the base, but what would the if-statement look like?

[tidal ice]

where can I find documentation about how deck code works in steammodded's current version

[hardy viper]

on the smods github wiki

[tidal ice]

there only seems to be outdated documentation

[hardy viper]

?

[balmy stump]

yeah out of the three paragraphs of create a deck, all of them are outdated.

[hardy viper]

yeah thats the outdated part lol you dont look at the outdated part

its in SMODS.Center with the rest of the center-related things

[tidal ice]

oh

[hardy viper]

if you dont want to find outdated stuff dont look at the outdated sections

[tidal ice]

ok yeah i didnt know the center area had stuff about decks

[hardy viper]

understandable but like
maybe look first

and ask later

asking is fine though

[tidal ice]

yeah sorry

[tepid crow]

Tbf who would click on SMODS.Center when they read it? It means nothing

would it be a positive or a negative to separate out the centers into their own pages? 🤔

[karmic kelp]

I also wonder if it'd be beneficial to have like a page 0 that defines key terms, like what a center even is
I vaguely know from skimming this chat, but if those pages are meant to be of use to a newcomer

[tepid crow]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/03.-API-Documentation would probably be "page 0"

On that same note, can somebody please put in the docs how original_key transforms into key?
It's confusing and to understand it you need to either read steamodded's internal code or ask in #💻・modding-dev
Just being able to link to the explanation would be nice instead of having to go through the whole spiel of having to explain wtf type and mod prefixes are

[humble gale]

quick question, do custom info queues need to be in a localization file to be used?

cause i have one that is set to a table with name and text and im getting an info queue that says error

[elder vapor]

afaik yeah

[balmy stump]

im trying to make a deck that increases the maximum joker slots by one everytime a joker is added to hand and vice versa, but im having a hard time figuring out some of this stuff. like how can i alter joker slots, using add to hand

ive tried looking for refrences but i just cant find anything similar enough that i can use for this

[cold peak]

Negative jokers just modify G.jokers.config.card_limit like so

if not self.edition then
    self.edition = {}
    if self.added_to_deck then --Need to override if adding negative to an existing joker
        if self.ability.consumeable then
            G.consumeables.config.card_limit = G.consumeables.config.card_limit + 1
        else
            G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1
        end
    end
end
self.edition.negative = true
self.edition.type = 'negative'

this is in Card:set_edition so you could probably add this code to the add/remove function

[balmy stump]

au tysm

[spare nebula]

Is it possible to get the source code on mac?

[balmy stump]

yes, by switching to windows like any sane person

[spare nebula]

bro im broke

[balmy stump]

same

[remote shell]

👀

[tidal ice]

sorry for asking so many questions but I don't know whats going on here

[tidal ice]

oh btw, this is so cool

[crisp coral]

card = card

[tidal ice]

ah that makes sense

[crisp coral]

and also you need to specify more contexts in context.cardarea == G.jokers

move the context.joker_main up to that check

[balmy stump]

`local cardaddtodeck = Card.add_to_deck
function Card.add_to_deck(self,edition)
cardaddtodeck(self, edition)
if self.ability.set == 'Joker' and (edition == nil or not edition.negative) then
G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1
end
end

local removefromdeck = Card.remove_from_deck
function Card.remove_from_deck(self)
    removefromdeck(self)
        G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1
    end`

can you tell me what i did wrong here?

the game runs but this doesnt do anything

[tidal ice]

yeah idk what I was doing there lol, ty

[cold peak]

I would think this would work (though I'd swap the + to a - in the remove from deck line, otherwise joker slots only go up). Are you sure its actually running your code? You could try putting a debug statement in your section of the code and then try adding a card to your deck

[balmy stump]

this is the full thing, the first part is working put the second part isnt doing anything as in i can play the deck put none of the code works.

`
SMODS.Back{
name = "Infinite Jokers",
key = "infD",
pos = {x = 0, y = 3},
config = {joker_slot = -4}
loc_txt = {
name = "Infinite Jokers"
text = {
"Start With Infinite Joker Slots."
},

},
local cardaddtodeck = Card.add_to_deck
function Card.add_to_deck(self,edition)
    cardaddtodeck(self, edition)
    if self.ability.set == 'Joker' and (edition == nil or not edition.negative) then
        G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1
    end
end

local removefromdeck = Card.remove_from_deck
function Card.remove_from_deck(self)
    removefromdeck(self)
        G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit - 1
    end

}
`

[cold peak]

uhhh maybe because this is all inside SMODS.Back? It looks like your indentation is all off but that could be from discord formatting weird. Can you try putting 3 ` around your whole code, that'll make it a whole code block instead of each line being individual

You can even do ```lua to get code highlighting

[balmy stump]

SMODS.Back{
    name = "Infinite Jokers",
    key = "infD",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 3},
    config = {joker_slot = -4}
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Infinite Jokers"
        text = {
            "Start With Infinite Joker Slots."
        },
        
    },
    local cardaddtodeck = Card.add_to_deck
    function Card.add_to_deck(self,edition)
        cardaddtodeck(self, edition)
        if self.ability.set == 'Joker' and (edition == nil or not edition.negative) then
            G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1
        end
    end

    local removefromdeck = Card.remove_from_deck
    function Card.remove_from_deck(self)
        removefromdeck(self)
            G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit - 1
        end
}

i didnt know putting everything into smodsback would be a problem kind of my first deck

if i move the final closing bracket to before the code starts it will work then?

[cold peak]

Yeah I don't think it goes in there, I think that will just be used to register deck to the game with its name and description and whatnot

The actual code will have to register whether or not you're playing with that deck

One sec

I'm thinking its going to be like the anaglyph deck

But I've never actually done this so if someone else has more insight that might be more useful

[humble gale]

So i have info_queuse on my one joker and only the name in the box appears, not the text.
This is how the record in en-us.lua looks like

default = {
            name = "Boss Soul",
            text = {
                "Defeat a Boss to gain a {C:legendary}Boss Soul{}"
            }
        },

and below is being called in local vars of the joker

OSIRIS.GENERATE_OSIRIS_INFO_QUEUE_BOSS = function(self,bossName,info_queue)
    local _boss
    if bossName == "" then
        _boss = OSIRIS.BOSS_TEXT_TABLE['Def']['Key']
    else
        _boss = OSIRIS.BOSS_TEXT_TABLE[bossName]['Key']
    end
    info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {set = 'OsirisInfoQueuesBoss',key = _boss}
end

in this case key is "default"

[cold peak]

I can't find how anaglyph does its thing, but one way you might be able to get it to work is by checking in the add/remove methods what back is currently in use and then running your code if its yours, but this seems..inefficient? You might be able to find more info on adding new decks by exploring some githubs of other mods that do so

[humble gale]

Could you set joker slots to the length of G.jokers + 1? Idk if it will work but it might be worth a shot

[balmy stump]

config = {joker_slot = #G.jokers.cards+1} Like this?

[hardy viper]

what's the issue with just setting the limit to a massive number when you enter the game

[balmy stump]

thats not cool

[hardy viper]

i feel like it's a little misleading if it's not like that

[balmy stump]

finite joker deck

[hardy viper]

people might start a run with the deck and see the joker slots be normal and get confused

tbh that could be cool

+1 joker slots, joker slots can never change

it'd be bad

but cool

[zenith sage]

if one wanted to get / compare the editions of all played cards in a hand, what would that look like
this is what ive been trying so far, and thought because of a bug with lovely both return nil, it does successfully tell me that one does and one does not when i play a hand where that is true

if context.before then
  if next(context.poker_hands['Pair']) then
      local edition_one
      local edition_two
      for k, v in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
          if v.edition then
              if edition_one then
                  edition_two = v.edition
              else
                  edition_one = v.edition
              end
          end
          print(edition_one)
          print(edition_two)
      end
  end

however when using edition_type it no longer works?

[humble gale]

Yeah that

[tidal ice]

we got some workin jokers here (for the most part)

ballot is there to just better show what some of them do

yes those placeholders are from cryptid

[zenith sage]

descriptions?

[balmy stump]

attempted to index joker feild a nil vlaue

kinda expected it ngl

[humble gale]

Same but worth a shot

[tidal ice]

I show them in the video

[zenith sage]

oh true

[exotic hedge]

I finished the sprite today, do you guys like it?

lobster

[zenith sage]

lobster!!

[zenith sage]

i guess a better description of the problem is that v.edition_type returns nil as well

where at least v.edition returns the correct boolean

so in

if not edition_one or not edition_two then
    if edition_one == edition_two then
        -- neither
        print("Neither")
    else
        -- one has an edition
        print("One",edition_one)
    end
    -- at least one parent has no edition (mixed or neither)
else
    -- both have editions (different or same)
    if edition_one == edition_two then
        -- same editions
        print("Same",edition_one)
    else 
        -- different editions
        print("Different",edition_one,edition_two)
    end
end

these guard cases, using v.edition will correctly give me "One" because one is nil (not true) and true ~= nil

but with v.edition_type it gives me neither because it sets both as nil even though it knows one has an edition and therefore nil == nil

most likely theres a better way to do this altogether, preferably without using an iterator

[balmy stump]

if anyone can help me make this work id appreciate it it still doesnt

[weak depot]

does anyone have an overlay for the stake shading?

[balmy stump]

what context guide?

[nocturne garnet]

#1247703015222149120

[wintry solar]

Don’t link that one

[nocturne garnet]

wgar

why not

[wintry solar]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/Guide-‐-Joker-Calculation

[nocturne garnet]

ooooooooooooooooooo

[wintry solar]

Because divvy rewrote it so it’s actually readable

[nocturne garnet]

thanks divvy

[zealous glen]

It recommends the simulator code but I found it harder to read

I also thought the original Discord messages were fine

[tepid crow]

Tbf the original discord messages didnt really explain that much

It just info dumped the context properties

[hardy viper]

i would say add a [DEPRECATED] in the title but that clearly that didn't work out well for steamodded

[wintry solar]

Yeah I don’t find the simulator code easy to read either but I already understand all the contexts so I’m probably not the best judge of it

I can add the new guide to the discord post though

[tepid crow]

Oh yeah that's probably a good idea

[stuck hawk]

Hey there, first time modder and awfully inexperienced coder here I'm trying to make a simple Joker that creates a Devil Tarot card when a Round starts, haven't been able to find a way for now. Is that something feasible to do with modding?

[tepid crow]

If it can be described as a combination of different base game jokers it should be relatively easy to do

[stuck hawk]

Yeah, I was trying to modify the behavior of the Cartomancer joker basically

                G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = (function()
                        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                            func = function() 
                                local card = create_card('Tarot',G.consumeables, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, 'car')
                                card:add_to_deck()
                                G.consumeables:emplace(card)
                                G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
                                return true
                            end}))   
                            card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_plus_tarot'), colour = G.C.PURPLE})                       
                        return true
                    end)}))
            end```

except that instead of picking random Tarots, it should pick a Devil card. Should be something related to the 'car' tag in the function if I got it right

[tepid crow]

Pretty close

The 'car' refers to the seed though

[tepid crow]

You might want to take a look at SMODS.create_card, and the key you want is c_devil I think? Can't check right now

[nocturne garnet]

oh man i fucking hate ui code

i would rather die than do it

i wanna make a page thingy like in the collection for preset disabled items in #1306355083268722728

but god

it is

so fucking annoyin

[hardy viper]

@wintry solar do UIs allow infinitely recursive backwards references

i would imagine not?

[wintry solar]

🤷‍♂️

[hardy viper]

darn

was hoping youd know

[wintry solar]

what is it you're trying to do?

[mystic river]

linux also works and is free
though I'm not clear on whether the great apple overlords will let you install it on their hardware

[hardy viper]

very unseriously attempting to create an SMODS ui library (which acts as an overhead for vanilla UI)
specifically in this instance i want to, for every single node in a UI, coerce it to an object with an smods overhead object

so i would need to recursively go through the ui nodes, and i would love to be able to do that with unlimited depth

[frosty dock]

pretty sure you can get source code on mac

[hardy viper]

and by unseriously i mean i dont plan on going through with it unless its actually useful

[frosty dock]

it's not obfuscated or compiled or anything

[nocturne garnet]

i am getting somewhere i think

[tidal edge]

wdym by that? like a page with all your disabled items

[nocturne garnet]

page with presets

[tidal edge]

oh ok

[tidal ice]

I honestly don't know what to do for the background, any suggestions for things I could use as inspiration?

[mystic river]

hmm, what's another optical illusion that can tile

[nocturne garnet]

that escher big thingy would be cool

[nocturne garnet]

this

[tidal ice]

true

[nocturne garnet]

it'd probably be a paint to draw tho 😭

[tidal ice]

I think I'm just gonna draw walls and doors in wacky orientations like this

[humble gale]

On my on joker i keep getting an error on end of round that says 'for limit must be a number' on line 211 of state events
the only weird thing im doing in the code is calling a function from another file and the context of said function is before so idk

calculate = function (self,card,context)
        if card.ability.extra.boss ~= "" then
            return{
                message = OSIRIS.BOSS_TEXT_TABLE[card.ability.extra.boss].func(self,card,context)
            }
        end

        if context.end_of_round and not context.game_over and not context.repetition and G.GAME.blind.boss and not context.blueprint and not card.ability.extra.abilityStopper then
            card.ability.extra.boss = "The Ox" --for testing, can change later on
            card.ability.extra.abilityStopper = true
            return {
                message = "Stolen!",
                card = card
            }
        end
    end

[white forum]

first ever message in this server only to recommend this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_and_Water_I

[tepid crow]

Iirc that error means you're returning something unexpected in a .repetition context. Make sure you have a check so that doesn't happen on accident

[humble gale]

I have a check for not context.repition in the if statment

[wintry solar]

It’s the first bit

It’ll trigger in every single context

[tepid crow]

Yeah the first one

[tidal ice]

I think I'm fine with this for now but I may change the colors of the bg

[frosty dock]

guys

what percentage of people do you think will miss this

installation steps moved to https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki main page^

[arctic lion]

has anyone dabbled in config files, particularly ones you can edit in-game (like with debugplus)?

[gaunt thistle]

95% of Balatro players can't read

[arctic lion]

i can't find documentation for creating config files specifically and my very crude config file can't be edited at runtime and isn't very user friendly

[tepid crow]

The Steamodded wiki has a page on it

[frosty dock]

that's more than twice the percentage of players it was before, so that's progress

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/SMODS.config_tab

[arctic lion]

ah twas hiding from me thank

truly a skill issue at navigating wikis and documentation

[tepid crow]

Ooh I'm liking this rewrite

[frosty dock]

counting it as a win if 2.5x more people can read because of it

[tepid crow]

That's 5% of the community WOOOO

[nocturne garnet]

nice

[frosty dock]

... what

that looks atrociously cramped

[tepid crow]

Looks fine to me /s

[arctic lion]

padding is afraid of him

[balmy stump]

what is calculate_joker and how do i use it?

[hardy viper]

what are u trying to do

because calculate_joker just, handles joker calculations for all cards

it doesn't have a usecase for typical things

[balmy stump]

remember the thing i was trying to do yesterday

that

[hardy viper]

i have no memory of this

[hardy viper]

oh this?

yeah i dont think calculate_joker would be any help there

[balmy stump]

yeah im just trying anything

[hardy viper]

local oldupd = love.update
--save the love.update function so we can call the updates for the rest of the game
function love.update(dt) --runs every frame, dt = time since last frame
 if G.GAME and G.GAME.selected_back and G.GAME.selected_back.name and G.GAME.selected_back.name == "Infinite Jokers" then --if theres a game in progress, a deck, and the deck is the infinite joker deck
  G.jokers.config.card_limit = #G.jokers.cards + 1 --set the joker limit to the number of jokers + 1
 end
 oldupd(dt) --call our saved update function so that the rest of the game can do its updates
end

should work

[balmy stump]

so i can feel like i got something out of wasting 8 hours trying to do this can you atleast explain what love.update and oldupd(dt) is since i havent heard of either until now

[hardy viper]

ok i may or may not have msesed that up

hang on let me

comment

[tepid crow]

how often does that function run? is that every frame?

cuz that seems... excessive

[hardy viper]

well yeah lol

we dont care about optimization here do we

and its like, barely anything so

wont make a dent

[tepid crow]

😭

I mean no it won't have a real impact but

just feels inelegant

[arctic lion]

step 1. get it working
step 2. say you'll optimise it
step 3. never do

[hardy viper]

the alternative is hooking multiple functions for removing a joker, removing a joker from an area, creating a joker, moving a joker to an area, etc

you only need a couple of those but i wouldnt know which youd need to hook

[tepid crow]

would setting the joker slots to math.inf or whatever the lua equivalent is work? 🤔

[balmy stump]

do i put the code inside the smods.back {} or do i make a new lua file or what

[hardy viper]

math.huge and yes but this person wants to do the other thing

[hardy viper]

just in the main block of your file

SMODS.Back{
...
}

--code

[balmy stump]

ok i did that and this doesnt do anything

[hardy viper]

elaborate ?

[balmy stump]

loads the deck deck does nothing.

[hardy viper]

can u post the entire lua file

[balmy stump]

SMODS.Back{
    key = "infD",
    config = {joker_slot = -4},
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Infinite Jokers",
        text = {
            "Start With Infinite Joker Slots.",
        },
    },
}
local oldupd = love.update
--save the love.update function so we can call the updates for the rest of the game
function love.update(dt) --runs every frame, dt = time since last frame
 if G.GAME and G.GAME.selected_back and G.GAME.selected_back.name and G.GAME.selected_back.name == "Infinite Jokers" then --if theres a game in progress, a deck, and the deck is the infinite joker deck
  G.jokers.config.card_limit = #G.jokers.cards + 1 --set the joker limit to the number of jokers + 1
 end
 oldupd(dt) --call our saved update function so that the rest of the game can do its updates
end

[hardy viper]

ah you removed the name

[balmy stump]

maybe because i didnt put an extra name

[hardy viper]

SMODS.Back{
    key = "infD",
    name = "Infinite Jokers",
    config = {joker_slot = -4},
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Infinite Jokers",
        text = {
            "Start With Infinite Joker Slots.",
        },
    },
}
local oldupd = love.update
--save the love.update function so we can call the updates for the rest of the game
function love.update(dt) --runs every frame, dt = time since last frame
 if G.GAME and G.GAME.selected_back and G.GAME.selected_back.name and G.GAME.selected_back.name == "Infinite Jokers" then --if theres a game in progress, a deck, and the deck is the infinite joker deck
  G.jokers.config.card_limit = #G.jokers.cards + 1 --set the joker limit to the number of jokers + 1
 end
 oldupd(dt) --call our saved update function so that the rest of the game can do its updates
end

[nocturne garnet]

i finally did it chat

Disable Disable Vanilla Jokers 😭

[hardy viper]

gg

have you considered making the buttons not right on top of each other

you could for sure fit like, 10 of those per page

if they werent so large

[frosty dock]

now we need Disable Disable Disable Vanilla Jokers

[nocturne garnet]

Enable Disable Vanilla Jokers

[balmy stump]

ok it works, im gonna see if i can make it do everything i want using this as a refrence

[thick panther]

Is there a wiki for the Balatro APIs? I know about the steamodded wiki, but is there one that focuses on the game's source?

[hardy viper]

haha i wish

[tepid crow]

game is basically undocumented apart from steamodded's own docs

[thick panther]

ah okay.

[hardy viper]

its more fun this way

[teal estuary]

documentation? for modding uses? well i never

who would ask for such a thing?

[tepid crow]

if you're lucky Thunk added a comment

[teal estuary]

smh

[frosty dock]

you're lucky there isn't some eloborate decompilation process you need to go through to get to the source code

smh

[mellow sable]

0.9.0 demo flashbacks

no joke, there was only one github repository that worked to decompile the source code

because it used a specific version of LuaJIT

[nocturne garnet]

Yo

[balmy stump]

local addjokerslot = Card.add_to_deck
function Card.add_to_deck()
  if G.GAME and G.GAME.selected_back and G.GAME.selected_back.name and G.GAME.selected_back.name == "Infinite Jokers" then --if theres a game in progress, a deck, and the deck is the infinite joker deck
    G.jokers.config.card_limit = #G.jokers.cards + 1 --set the joker limit to the number of jokers + 1
  end
  addjokerslot()
end

Whenever i buy a card the game crashes.

[frosty dock]

I wasn't in the modding game yet back then haha

but i did have the highest glitched score

that wasn't actually 0.9.0

0.9.3 iirc

[tidal ice]

anything wrong here? no crashes or anything its just not retriggering any cards

oh wait do I need to do context.repetition? lemme try that

that didnt work

[teal estuary]

iirc its repetitions = repetitions, lemme double check

also, card = card

[tidal ice]

right

[teal estuary]

heres one of my jokers that retriggers certain suits, so just ignore that one line

ah, reptitions = card.ability.extra.reptitions... maybe you could do repetitions = 1 then?

im not sure, i'd just use card.ability.extra...

[tidal ice]

alrighty ill try that

[thick panther]

How can you get a joker to debuff an entire suit like some of the blinds do?

[tidal ice]

no luck

I think its an issue with the chances

I need to check this actually

ok so its NOT an issue with the chances

[hardy viper]

local addjokerslot = Card.add_to_deck

alternatively ```lua
local addjokerslot = Card.add_to_deck
function Card:add_to_deck(...)
if G.GAME and G.GAME.selected_back and G.GAME.selected_back.name and G.GAME.selected_back.name == "Infinite Jokers" then --if theres a game in progress, a deck, and the deck is the infinite joker deck
G.jokers.config.card_limit = #G.jokers.cards + 1 --set the joker limit to the number of jokers + 1
end
addjokerslot(self, ...)
end

Okay, I got the debuff part working, but is there a way to have it show the debuffs when a round starts, similar to some blinds? I figured I would move part of it to the deck code, but what do I use to check if a round has started?

calculate = function(self, card, context)

        for _, card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
            if card.base.suit ~= 'Hearts' then
                SMODS.debuff_card(card, true, 'testJoker')
            end
        end

    end,

[tidal ice]

still having issues
again, no crashes, its just not retriggering any cards
I temporarily commented out the chance's code just in case there was a problem with it

[wintry solar]

Are you working with a new instance of the joker or loading an old save?

[tidal ice]

loading an old save

is that acgtually the issue??

[wintry solar]

Probably

Try creating a new instance of your joker

The old save probably doesn’t have the repetitions in the config

[tidal ice]

ill check

ok so that may have actually been the problem

thats actually kinda funny

[rough furnace]

yeah if you change config old saves don't

this also means if thunk adjust values in an update old save jokers will have old values still

for most jokers

[balmy stump]

id sometesting with this and i ended up realizing that i wasnt saving it properly because i actually tried this lol, but what ends up happening is that although it does work, the game will run this code before the joker is actually added and not after.

the simplest solution is just to only activate the code when a joker is added to the deck, how do i specify for that

[thick panther]

Is there a way to set text size and color? {C:inactive, s:0.8} colors the text gray, but doesnt resize.

[rough furnace]

SMODS.Joker had an add_to_deck

[hardy viper]

this is most certainly not the simplest solution

[hardy viper]

this is the simplest solution and the overhead is in the nanoseconds so

[rough furnace]

Wait ehats going on?

[balmy stump]

incorrect, the simplest solution would be setting joker_slot = 1E300

[rough furnace]

You want a deck where you always have more joker slots?

[balmy stump]

since the game would crash long before ever reaching that number its technically infinite

[hardy viper]

it would be if that was relevant to your problem

[rough furnace]

Just use the update function to set the joker slot limit to 1 plus the number of jokers

[hardy viper]

you've been clear you don't want to do that

[hardy viper]

yeah

[rough furnace]

Why are we overriding global functions for this?

[hardy viper]

we did this

[balmy stump]

yeah okay ill just do that then, ill credit you since i didnt even write any of the code for it 😦

[hardy viper]

you don't need to credit me

When I play a hand of hearts, this joker is suppose to increment its own mult by 5 per heart card played, but its getting up into the thousands, with numbers like 6,200. Is the issue how I am incrementing the mult?

calculate = function(self, card, context)

        for _, pCard in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do

            -- Debuff all non-Heart cards, except for Stone Cards
            if pCard.base.suit ~= 'Hearts' and pCard.ability.effect ~= 'Stone Card' then
                SMODS.debuff_card(pCard, true, 'lJoker')
            end

            -- Increment mult for each played Heart card
            if pCard.base.suit == 'Hearts' then
                card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.multAdd
            end

        end

        -- Add mult
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                card = card,
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
                message = '+' .. card.ability.extra.mult,
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end

    end,

[wintry solar]

Your iterating part has no context check so runs for every single context

[thick panther]

So should the whole for loop be wrapped in context.joker_main or the inside of the for loop?

[wintry solar]

You could but there are better ways to do it, look at the joker calculation guide

[balmy stump]

the game crashes for me after i hit new run

attempted to index jokers a nil value

[hardy viper]

oh oops

local oldupd = love.update
--save the love.update function so we can call the updates for the rest of the game
function love.update(dt) --runs every frame, dt = time since last frame
 if G.GAME and G.GAME.selected_back and G.GAME.selected_back.name and G.GAME.selected_back.name == "Infinite Jokers" and G.jokers then --if theres a game in progress, a deck, and the deck is the infinite joker deck
  G.jokers.config.card_limit = #G.jokers.cards + 1 --set the joker limit to the number of jokers + 1
 end
 oldupd(dt) --call our saved update function so that the rest of the game can do its updates
end

[balmy stump]

now it doesnt work at all

[hardy viper]

odd

ill check it out when i get home

[tidal ice]

Speedrunner

[arctic lion]

how can you tell which specific pack has been opened? i can see G.booster_pack for any and G.booster_pack_meteor for celestials but i don't see any kind of variable for buffoon, spectral, cards, arcana etc.

[frosty dock]

SMODS.OPENED_BOOSTER should have the booster card

[thick panther]

Blueprint and Brainstorm label my joker as incompatible, yet they still trigger. is there a flag that needs to be enabled for them to show compatible?

[frosty dock]

blueprint_compat

[thick panther]

How to you prevent blueprint from triggering on a joker?

[frosty dock]

that one you can only do in the code of your calculate function

if not context.blueprint then

[thick panther]

Is there a way to prevent a joker from being sold at the shop, like the legendaries?

[frosty dock]

yes, it's best to use an in_pool function for that

[brisk quartz]

sell this joker to skip to next multiple of 8 ante

[thick panther]

would I just set in_pool to false to do that?

[frosty dock]

you set it to a function that returns false

though it also won't spawn in the shop if you give it legendary rarity

[thick panther]

If it has legendary rarity, I assume it would still show up in soul cards?

[frosty dock]

yes, unless in_pool is returning false

[thick panther]

Okay, thank you! Do you know if theres a way to have colored text but also change its size? I tried {C:inactive, s:0.8}, but it only changes the color, not the text size.

[frosty dock]

i think you just need to remove the space

{C:inactive,s:0.8} should work

[hardy viper]

inactive inherently changes text size iirc?

[frosty dock]

don't think so

[hardy viper]

oh wait that's just a color

been awhile since ive done text stuff lol

[thick panther]

Wow that actually worked. idk why a space would mess that up. Thank you!

[frosty dock]

the parser just doesn't understand that

[tidal ice]

??????

[balmy stump]

using my method of changing add_to_card instead of updating every tick doesnt crash the game on the second run but when i try to add in more functions it crashes saying function arguments expected near function

[hardy viper]

== for comparison

[hardy viper]

send code ?

[tidal ice]

oh right

[balmy stump]

how do i make multiple functions

    key = "infD3",
    name = "Mrk3",
    config = {joker_slot = -4},
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Infinite Jokers3",
        text = {
            "Start With Infinite Joker Slots.",
        },
    },
}
local addcard = Card.add_to_deck
function Card.add_to_deck(self)
  if G.GAME and G.GAME.selected_back and G.GAME.selected_back.name == "Mrk3" then --if theres a game in progress, a deck, and the deck is the infinite joker deck
        G.jokers.config.card_limit = #G.jokers.cards + 1
        G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1

  end
  addcard(self)
end

local removecard = Card:remove_from_deck
function Card:remove_from_deck(self)
  if G.GAME and G.GAME.selected_back and G.GAME.selected_back.name == "Mrk3" then --if theres a game in progress, a deck, and the deck is the infinite joker deck
        G.jokers.config.card_limit = #G.jokers.cards
  end
  removecard(self)
end

it crashes on the second function but works normally when i delete it

[hardy viper]

local removecard = Card.remove_from_deck

not Card:remove_from_deck

[balmy stump]

oml

[hardy viper]

you can only use the colon when you're actually calling the function. also, self is implied when you do Card:remove_from_deck()

Card.remove_from_deck(self)
is the same as
Cars:remove_from_deck()

[balmy stump]

it was crashing when i didnt have it ealier though?

[thick panther]

How do you add money with a joker? I thought it was dollars?

if context.joker_main then
            
            -- Double money
            local dMoney = G.GAME.dollars * 2

            return {
                card = card,
                dollars = dMoney,
                message = '+$' .. dMoney,
                colour = G.C.MONEY
            }

        end

[balmy stump]

right now the second function is crashing because of index self nil value whether or not i specify self

[balmy stump]

nvm i didnt change the second : to .

it works

[pearl bane]

so uh, is extra_value the value of the card or the, well, extra value of it?

as in, the value gained

[frosty dock]

added sell value, like from gift card

[pearl bane]

hmmm

[frosty dock]

actual sell value is sell_cost iirc

[pearl bane]

isn't that the sell price?

[frosty dock]

yeah what else do you mean

[pearl bane]

nah I'd rather just add the base price than calculate and round down/up the sell price

also, couponed is for when a card is gained for free through tags, right?

[rough furnace]

theres a function to calculate sell cost iirc

[frosty dock]

yeah Card:set_cost(). again real sell value is stored in card.sell_cost

[frosty dock]

yes

[rough furnace]

I would probably use the sell cost just cause mods may screw with stuff in ways you can't predict

liek I have a joker that spawns jokers who's sell cost is forced to 0

but they still have base cost for example

[pearl bane]

are they flagged as couponed? if not, I think you should add it

[frosty dock]

that's not what couponed does though

[rough furnace]

no the sell cost is 0 not the buy cost

(these jokers can't appear in the shop)

[frosty dock]

couponed cards still sell for a positive price

[pearl bane]

you know what, this is too much magickery; I'll just use events to set money to 0 after the card is in the deck

[rough furnace]

you can use add_to_deck to run code when added to deck

[pearl bane]

ok, so I have a joker that sets money to 0 when bought, the code is this:

-- snip
    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        if not from_debuff then
            local dollars = G.GAME.dollars
            ease_dollars(-dollars)
-- snip (do stuff with dollars)

and it set money to -{j price}

about time I explained myself lol

how do I avoid this?

[rough furnace]

does ease_dollars(0) work?

I fiorget how ease_dollars works again

[thick panther]

I think it just adds money, so I dont think that will work

[frosty dock]

yeah it's relative to current money

[pearl bane]

nah it would do nothing

Imma try using lovely to inject an extra exact argument into ease_dollars

[rough furnace]

if you don't care about the effect you can just do G.GAME.dollars = 0

[pearl bane]

I do

that's the problem

[teal estuary]

this might be a stupid question but what defines how many chips a card gives? like, if i wanted to make aces score 12 chips instead of 11, what would i call in a joker to change it 🤨

[rough furnace]

are you setting it and calling ease?

[pearl bane]

no

should I?

[frosty dock]

try putting it in an event

[pearl bane]

cuz it still shows 0

[rough furnace]

this feels like it's being called multiple times

[frosty dock]

no, imo it feels like it's setting to 0 before the shop price is paid

[pearl bane]

yeah so I might be able to do it with events
