My friend wanted a Joker in my game, he said "+5 mult when playing a Two Pair, x10 mult when playing a Four of a Kind"

This is my botched code that is halfway done

[nocturne estuary]

any ideas why is the return being skipped here?

calculate=function(self,card,context)
        local multAdd = 0
        if context.remove_playing_cards then
            for i= 1, #G.hand.highlighted do
                multAdd = multAdd + G.hand.highlighted[i].base.nominal
            end
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + multAdd
            return {
                card = card,
                message = '+' .. multAdd,
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end
    end

[hardy viper]

have you verified that context.remove_playing_cards is a real thing

[nocturne estuary]

yes

[hardy viper]

because there's no other branches there

[nocturne estuary]

the code above the return is being executed

[hardy viper]

do you have crash avoider installed by chance

[nocturne estuary]

no

[hardy viper]

then it's either that you've seen something wrong or that context doesn't support a return and you need to use card_eval_status_text

id say use SMODS.eval_this but that's apparently deprecated

[nocturne estuary]

ok, I'll try that

[vagrant cedar]

Somebody able to figure out where I got this error from?

[nocturne estuary]

nope, that also doesn't seem to work:

calculate=function(self,card,context)
        local multAdd = 0
        if context.remove_playing_cards then
            for i= 1, #G.hand.highlighted do
                multAdd = multAdd + G.hand.highlighted[i].base.nominal
            end
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + multAdd
            card_eval_status_text(self, 'mult', 0, 0, 'down', {message = '+' .. multAdd})
        end
    end

[maiden river]

in text, you have to add commas after each string

[vagrant cedar]

thank you

[violet void]

Whats wrong with this?

[rough furnace]

Apparently aure merging better calc deleted it (so litterally was removed like the next version)

but its not in the git diff

it's werid

[frosty dock]

huh

[rough furnace]

Here https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/2f42d2c4ceadca4dd2f858d2426a04c630549700/src/utils.lua doesn't have it. The previous commit does though https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/74cf5aabcd4fde92d769612b5b3bb8f9347892eb/src/utils.lua

[vagrant cedar]

Uh

My Balatro was working

I re-enabled Cryptid

And this happened

What do I do

Only change was enabling Cryptid

[frosty dock]

free some memory and try again

[vagrant cedar]

I just took off Pokermon and it worked

It was trying to load too many Jokers

[heady dragon]

yo, is there a specific master post I should be looking at if I'm trying to get into mod creation?

[tall wharf]

closer to truth

[hardy viper]

use pairs not ipairs

might not be the issue in question but

you should use pairs

[vagrant cedar]

This card is SUPPOSED to give 5 mult when a two pair is played, and X10 mult when a four of a kind is played. Instead, it gives those values to every single card that is played instead of the hand itself. Anyone know how to fix this?

Unintentionally way more powerful than anticipated

[violet void]

sadly didn't fix it

[thick panther]

for SMODS.Booster, how can I have the suit for all created playing cards be the same (e.g. Hearts)?

create_card = function(self, card, i)
    local _card = create_card("Base", G.pack_cards, nil, nil, true, nil)
    return _card
end

[dreamy thunder]

how am i going to get this to work?

im confused

i want it to gain mult when the consumable is used

[rough furnace]

Readded in 1309a

that was weird

[cerulean rose]

SMODS.change_base

[wintry solar]

if context.other_consumeable and context.other_consumeable.config.center.key == 'c_crv_mp' then
  card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult _ card.ability.extra.mult_gain
  return {
    message = 'Upgraded!'
  }
end  ```

[dreamy thunder]

would this be the same for consumable types?

[wintry solar]

you could check the type yeah

[thick panther]

would I be able to remove stone enhancment using this, or would I need to use something else?

[valid trench]

idk what would be causing this

I didn't touch my png or atlas

[tall wharf]

YO

LET'S GO

[cerulean rose]

this would not account for stone cards

[dreamy thunder]

still did nothing,

[wintry solar]

what smods version are you on

[dreamy thunder]

let me check

i think im a bit behind

[cerulean rose]

yeah bettercalc is ready now

[thick panther]

What should I use to remove stone enhancement then?

[wintry solar]

this will only work on better calc

[violet void]

is G.playing_cards correct to get the list of cards in the deck?

[rough furnace]

I should reword the warning in the install for better calc

[dreamy thunder]

better calc?

[cerulean rose]

new steammodded update

[valid trench]

I think I fucked up my game

it won't even launch anymore even without mods and after I verified my files

I have no idea why

[rough furnace]

does it have an error?

also how did you disable mods

[vagrant cedar]

still needing help with this if anyone knows the solution

[rough furnace]

Is this better for the warning?

[nocturne estuary]

what is the function for redeeming vouchers (not the SMODS one, the one in game)?

[rough furnace]

Card:redeem

iirc

[nocturne estuary]

ok

[dreamy thunder]

it upgrades it if it is in my inventory though

[wintry solar]

oh you want it when it's used

[dreamy thunder]

yeah

[wintry solar]

context.using_consumeable iirc

[dreamy thunder]

aight

[wintry solar]

instead of other_consumeable

[dreamy thunder]

ima try it

[thick panther]

how do you add a card to your deck? is it something like G.playing_cards:emplace(_card)?

[nocturne estuary]

is there a table in game with all vouchers?

[nocturne estuary]

I think so

[dreamy thunder]

i replace both right?

[vagrant cedar]

I have a Joker that is supposed to give mult or Xmult depending on hand played. It's doing that correctly, but it's making the cards played give the mult or Xmult instead of the Joker, so it ends up retriggering 4 times. Can someone help me fix this?

[rough furnace]

G.P_CENTERS has them iirc

[dreamy thunder]

?

[vivid canyon]

hi sorry im having a weird modding issue i couldnt find a fix for so i figured id come ask here!
im making a stupid texture pack mod but the tarot sheet isnt working properly?
the tarot cards are displaying properly, i tested it in pink but it only replaced 5 of the spectral cards (that i actually changed all of) and none of the planet cards (which i also marked in pink)

[wintry solar]

ye

[dreamy thunder]

nvm this i found whats wrong

i think

[violet void]

does anyone know why I cant access cards properties from G.playing_cards?

[dreamy thunder]

well atleast i fixed the previous one

[rough furnace]

how are you changing the sprites code wise?

[vivid canyon]

using a texture pack template mod and just replacing the textures there
it all worked 100% fine until i modified the tarot sprite sheet

[rough furnace]

so you are just redefininf the atlas?

[dreamy thunder]

@wintry solar sorry for the ping

[vivid canyon]

i honestly dont know how any of the code stuff works at all i just wanted to make a silly texture pack
but id assume thats something im doing????
idk

[rough furnace]

snded code

[wintry solar]

oh the card is on a different bit

I dont remember it off the top of my head though

[weary jungle]

how do i check how much you have scored at the end of the round? what is the variable and do you need a to_big?

[vivid canyon]

this is all ive got code wise, just what came with the template

shit i probably didnt untag you auugh

[dreamy thunder]

got it working

just had to remove using_ from the second one

[frosty dock]

ew why do I see smods 0.9.8 code

[dreamy thunder]

what the hell is going on here 🙏

[tall wharf]

4 thirteen straight flush

[vivid canyon]

idk when i downloaded steamodded it told me to grab an old vers
and this template is also probably old too lol

[nocturne garnet]

is that freddy fazbore

[vivid canyon]

yea lol
im making all the spetral cards fnaf at freddy's cause i thought itd be funny

[weary jungle]

does the context contain the amount of chips scored

[frosty dock]

hand_chips and mult are globals

if that's what you mean

[cedar stream]

how would one add a new consumable to the collection ui

[nocturne garnet]

do you mean a new consumable type

[cedar stream]

yea

[nocturne garnet]

i wanna send you something but technically its against the rules for self advertisement

uhh

#1307744498360520805

[cedar stream]

`SMODS.ConsumableType {
object_type = "ConsumableType",
key = 'Land',
collection_rows = { 3,4 },
primary_colour = HEX("E08C50"),
secondary_colour = HEX("97572b"),
loc_txt = {
collection = 'Land Cards',
name = 'Land',
label = 'Land',
undiscovered = {
name = "Not Discovered",
text = {
"Purchase or use",
"this card in an",
"unseeded run to",
"learn what it does"
},
},
},
}

SMODS.UndiscoveredSprite {
object_type = "UndiscoveredSprite",
key = "un_magic",
atlas = "un_back.png",
pos = {
x = 0,
y = 0
}
}`

thats the code, and i am unsre what im not doing right

[thick panther]

How would I use ease_background_colour(self) for SMODS.Booster to change the background color to a defined one?

[nocturne garnet]

this should work if im not mistaken

(im probably mistaken)

[cedar stream]

is there anything i could maybe be missing?

[nocturne estuary]

is there a way to modify the boss blinds chip requirement?

[cedar stream]

i do belive so

[nocturne estuary]

via code btw (as a joker)

[cedar stream]

would i have to have at least 1 consumable implemented to have it apear

[cedar stream]

are you trying to modify it additivly or multiplicitive

[nocturne estuary]

I am trying to cut the chip requirement in half whenever a boss blind is selected

[cedar stream]

have you tried refrencing any mods that do something similar

[tall wharf]

silly little oopsie

[nocturne estuary]

no, I should probably try that

[cedar stream]

thats what i usssually do

a good place might be SDM_0's stuff

[nocturne estuary]

nope, couldn't find anything there

[minor magnet]

stupid question, where do i check base game joker code?

[cedar stream]

i think in the lovely/dump is where you can find some of it

but using 7zip you can look in the exe file of balatro

[minor magnet]

ye i knew the second one, i just dont know which file contains joker code

i need to make something similar to dna so looking at the dna code would be of use

[cedar stream]

i think its card.lua

[minor magnet]

many thanks :]

[cedar stream]

@nocturne estuary did you look at data/joker.lua in the SDM_0's stuff

cuz cupidon does a similar thing you are trying to do

[nocturne estuary]

yes, but it doesn't have what I'm looking for

[sonic cedar]

how do i add a counter to a joker's description? akin to the one invisible joker has

[thick panther]

is there a way to remove this circle question mark here?

if not delete, how can I change it?

[sand oasis]

looks like it hasn't been discovered yet I think

[thick panther]

i know, but i dont want the icon in the middle.

[minor magnet]

can anyone tell me what is wrong with my code? i am trying to make a joker duplicate played glass cards

[nocturne estuary]

I don't think that is how you do for loops (altough I could be wrong)

shouldn't it be?

[minor magnet]

i am inept in lua, thank you, i will try and see if it works

[nocturne estuary]

same here lol

I am also not that good at it

[nocturne estuary]

oh wait

add a comma after the 1

[minor magnet]

:/

[placid frigate]

what mod is this

[nocturne estuary]

remove the in (sorry that I wrote it, I kinda wasn't thinking)

[vivid canyon]

texture pack template mod
https://github.com/emihead/balatro-texture-pack-template

[minor magnet]

works, and does clone the glass cards, but crashes right after scoring them

[thick panther]

how do you access the level of a modded poker hand?

[nocturne estuary]

idk what that could be though, probably check the arguments for the juice_up function?

[minor magnet]

line 1215 is not related to juice up

what is the juice

imma search it up in the fileù

[rough furnace]

are you checking the lovely dump?

[minor magnet]

fixed.

using card = card

instead of card = self

stupid solution but if it works it works

[rough furnace]

yeah self is your center not your card

[thick panther]

how would you do the config for the text field of loc_txt when making a planet card for a modded poker hand?

[violet void]

this might be too cruel

So one thing I noticed is when I resume the run from the menu, all the cards lose the property cs_fake (which makes them score negative)

[rough furnace]

where are you storing the property

[violet void]

function Card:init(X, Y, W, H, card, center, params)
    originalCardInit(self, X, Y, W, H, card, center, params)

    self.cs_fake = false
end```

here

[rough furnace]

stick it in card.ability

thats saved in the save file

[violet void]

ty I'll try that

[rough furnace]

you might need to wait for Card:set_ability to be called

nto sure the exact specfics of it

[light echo]

We get a bit silly

[hollow locust]

Name it "What are the odds?!" instead

[rough furnace]

Cruptid rigged

[violet void]

function Card:set_ability(center, initial, delay_sprites)
    original_set_ability(self, center, initial, delay_sprites)

    if self.ability then
        self.ability.cs_fake = false
    end
end```

Worked like a charm, thanks

[mystic river]

iirc rigged "only" increases the odds by 1e9
so this would still be about 1 in 10

which is if anything funnier
you can't even rig it

[thick panther]

for implementing the use method of SMODS.Consumable, I can get my modded hand to upgrade, but the text above the chips and mult display is blank. It will show the lvl after its leveled up, but the hand name doesnt appear. Why is that?

use = function(self, card, area, copier)
    level_up_hand(self, base_mod_flush.key, false, 1)
end

[viscid bough]

anyone know what i should make this guy do

[light echo]

whoopsie, guess infinity is too big to score

[hollow locust]

Can i make a card type that just makes you lose the game

[fallen tendon]

Is it possible to change a value in a joker master after ots created

Like say i made SMODS.Joker{ some stuff }

and then later in the code i change its order value

[rough furnace]

you can access it's center (if you make it you can just store the result of SMODS.Joker and index it)

[fallen tendon]

Ok

[sonic cedar]

doubles everything but you only have one hand

[fallen tendon]

Im trying to make a table based ordering system for cryptid

[thick panther]

to get a modded poker hand's level, do you just call <poker hand>.level? It always displays 1 for me, even when I level it up several times.

[rough furnace]

how do you get poker hand?

[frosty dock]

if you get it from G.GAME.hands, that works

[thick panther]

I defined it ealier and save it to a var, like local mod_poker_hand = SMODS.PokerHand{}

[long sun]

zodiac graphics are done!

[thick panther]

would I use the hand's key for that?

[frosty dock]

yes

[rough furnace]

idk how hands work but if its like centers, this value is jsut used for making the hand (when startign a run in hands case)

[long sun]

oh ya so

i'm implementing them, and i've got an atlas and undiscovered sprite

[frosty dock]

exactly

otherwise it would be a mess to reset when starting another run

[long sun]

here's my other thing:lua local zodiac = { object_type = "ConsumableType", key = "Zodiac", primary_colour = HEX("4076cf"), secondary_colour = HEX("5998ff"), collection_rows = { 3, 4 }, shop_rate = 0.0, loc_txt = {}, default = (SMODS.Mods['jen'] or {}).can_load and "c_cry_oboe" or "c_cry_crash", can_stack = true, can_divide = true, }

i don't quite get these lines, could someone explain? (i pulled this from Cryptid)

default = (SMODS.Mods['jen'] or {}).can_load and "c_cry_oboe" or "c_cry_crash",
    can_stack = true,
    can_divide = true,```

[fallen tendon]

Ortalab moment

[long sun]

yes i know

i've been told that the zodiacs are in other mods

[frosty dock]

can_stack and can_divide are incantation properties that tell it if the card can be stacked or divided

[fallen tendon]

Maybe tartarus should be leap day?

[frosty dock]

default is the card that gets created when there's nothing available in the pool

[long sun]

nahh it's a reference to the 25th hour (Persona 3)

[frosty dock]

i.e. if you have every tarot in the consumable slots or shop, arcana packs will default to spawning strength

[long sun]

ahh okay that makes sense

[light echo]

Would it be possible to add a win round condition to my joker? As on the absolute off chance someone gets lucky enough to hit the mult, I would like the game to continue rather than just end.

[long sun]

what does the first part of that line mean? with the jen

[long sun]

also, remind me what those two do again? ^^

[rough furnace]

its being used to check if the mod with id jen (jen's almnac) can load (aka it's installed and not disabled)

[long sun]

ahh icic

[thick panther]

What does the V:1 in the planet's localization do? is that the level coloring? It crashes when I use it.

[frosty dock]

it's a color variable

if you want to use it, you need to define the color var in your loc_vars

like return { vars = { 'var here', colours = { G.C.WHATEVER } } }

[thick panther]

Where do the Planet cards have their level colors? I cant seem to find them.

[hollow locust]

screencap a level, get the hex color and %hex in VSC

[thick panther]

The colors there change based on the poker hand level. Where are those colors stored, because they are probably changed in the update method.

[rough furnace]

They are put in loc_vars

[hollow locust]

It appears i have failed

[minor magnet]

how do i add a card to deck from shop without it showing up on the screen like an ugly roach?

like if i want to add a card on reroll

[thick panther]

Which file is that in?

[frosty dock]

it's part of generate_card_ui in functions/common_events.lua

[thick panther]

Awesome, thanks!

[violet void]

is this ok as common

[long sun]

this is very long and takes a minute to process

cool idea though! and i think it fits as common

[violet void]

you mean its too wordy?

[long sun]

mhm

lemme give this a go

[rough furnace]

I would change the so long as there are any left to just resets when there are no fake cards

[long sun]

6 cards in your deck become Fake
Gains +9 Chips per hand played without Fake cards
Resets if there are no Fake cards in your deck```

[rough furnace]

the first line doesn't really work

oh unless it is just always the current value

but still needs something to say it adds 6 when obtained

[long sun]

how about that?

[violet void]

I suppose if you manage to destroy all 6 fake cards, you could keep the chip bonus but it wouldnt scale anymore

[rough furnace]

I almost wonder if it would make sense to get chips per fake card in deck

so if you have like 12 fake cards it scales twice as fast

[sand oasis]

experiencing a bizarre problem trying to make this joker, error at line 54, } expected (to close { at line 53) near '=' but I'm not seeing a way where the syntax is necessarily wrong

[rough furnace]

thats not how table names work

[violet void]

hmmm

[frosty dock]

When this joker is obtained,
6 cards in your deck become Fake.
Gains +9 Chips per consecutive hand
played without a (scoring?) Fake card.
Resets if there are no Fake cards in your deck

[long sun]

hmm, still pretty wordy though

[frosty dock]

tbh it could lose the resets when there are no fake cards, idk

[sand oasis]

sorry if you weren't talking to me, but what do you mean?

i'm working with a very low functioning knowledge of the mechanics after running through the SMODS TutorialPack lua file

[rough furnace]

you are returning a table but you seem to just wwant to be settign values of existing things

[sand oasis]

ah

[frosty dock]

you can't just put expressions statements like G.GAME.dollars = 0 inside a table

you only want the message in the return table here

the rest should just be normal statements

[violet void]

the consecutive part is a good substitute

[sand oasis]

Oh okay

[thick panther]

Finally I got them working. I think they turned out good.

other image got messed up.

[wise narwhal]

hello, im trying to check for if a card has any enhancement at all, but i cant seem to figure out how to. i tried a lot of different functions but none of them worked, even checking for a specific enhancement like 'Glass Card' doesnt seem to work for some reason.

[frosty dock]

this is the computationally more expensive version that accounts for quantum enhancements
if next(SMODS.get_enhancements(card)) then
this is the basic version that doesn't
if card.ability.set == 'Enhanced' then

[long sun]

yoyo! adding packs, and looking at Cryptid's code again, i'm confused about where G.C.SET.Code is defined, and where i need to define my own G.C.SET.Zodiac. and i'm also generally lost. help?

local pack1 = {
    object_type = "Booster",
    key = "phanta_normal1",
    kind = "Zodiac",
    atlas = "pack",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = 2, choose = 1 },
    cost = 4,
    order = 1,
    weight = 0.96,
    create_card = function(self, card)
        return create_card("Zodiac", G.pack_cards, nil, nil, true, true, nil, "phanta_zodiac")
    end,
    ease_background_colour = function(self)
        ease_colour(G.C.DYN_UI.MAIN, G.C.SET.Zodiac)
        ease_background_colour({ new_colour = G.C.SET.Zodiac, special_colour = G.C.RED, contrast = 2 })
    end,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.config.center.config.choose, card.ability.extra } }
    end,
    group_key = "k_phanta_zodiac_pack",
}```

also, i don't get why the weight for normal boosters is 0.96

[wise narwhal]

ive tried both of these and they have not worked either unfortunately

[frosty dock]

show code

[wise narwhal]

this should work when i use any enhanced card, right?

[frosty dock]

this gets added automatically through your consumable type's primary_colour

[frosty dock]

you're checking if the joker is enhanced (which it isn't)

[long sun]

ohh i see

[frosty dock]

context.other_card is what you should target

[long sun]

thanks!!

[wise narwhal]

ohhh that makes sense

tyvm

[frosty dock]

np

[sand oasis]

a follow-up to this now that I've tidied it up and it now 80% works - what exactly would I do to set money to zero? I just shot in the dark with that one

[rough furnace]

for new calc with a enhancement that does an in hand effect, whats the proper check? I was helping someone and they had if context.cardarea == G.hand and not context.repititon and not card.debuff then. However, this condition matches the check_enhancement check

[wintry solar]

if context.cardarea == G.hand and context.main_scoring then

[runic pecan]

Just found out that context.open_booster only happens when the open booster pack animation is finished,
but I need a trigger at the moment you buy a booster pack.
Does anyone know if such thing exists?

[sonic cedar]

    if context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.individual then
        card.ability.extra.rounds = card.ability.extra.rounds + 1
        if card.ability.extra.rounds == card.ability.extra.roundReq then
        card.ability.extra.active = true
        local eval = function(card) return not card.REMOVED end
        juice_card_until(card, eval, true)
        end
    end```

can someone tell me why this just crashes the game? is it where it's placed in the main code, or something with this chunk itself?

[sick sparrow]

there's a hook that prevent removal when this card has absolute sticker, but how to bypass check if the player sees the deck or collection?

local hooke = Card.start_dissolve
function Card:start_dissolve(...)
    if self.ability.unbreakable then
        SMODS.eval_this(self, {
            message = localize('k_nope_ex')
        })
    else
        hooke(self,...)
    end
end
local hooke = Card.shatter
function Card:shatter(...)
    if self.ability.unbreakable then
        SMODS.eval_this(self, {

        })
    else
        hooke(self,...)
    end
end
local hooke = Card.can_sell_card
function Card:can_sell_card(...)
    if self.ability.unbreakable then
        return false
    else
        return hooke(self,...)
    end
end

also i'm sorry for message bomb

[sonic cedar]

maybe context.buy_card? but idk for sure

[rough furnace]

this seems like a terrible idea

you can check the area the card is in

but also things like the card needs to be removed when qutiting tio the title

[runic pecan]

I used "context.buying_card or context.open_booster" as my if condition but it works on jokers but not on booster packs.

[thick panther]

I want to break my mod's main lua file into seperate files for different parts (packs.lua, consumables.lua, etc.). How do I improt them into the main lua file?

[runic pecan]

Snagged from pokermon.lua on github:

[tepid crow]

you can also just assert(SMODS.load_file(...))()

[sick sparrow]

how do i fix this

[wooden nexus]

All I'm going to say is that I'm getting REALLY close to figuring playing cards out somewhat

[tepid crow]

Are you sure you need to hook* Card:remove? I thought that that was more of an internal function?

[thick panther]

figuring them out how? How they work?

[runic pecan]

Would there be any issue if I set G.GAME.reroll_cost to zero/double?

[gilded narwhal]

hey gang, so this increases eor_boss_discards by 7 for some reason, I presume because it's activating every frame. How do I fix that?

[tepid crow]

probably too broad of a context?

either print out your context or look at some vanilla jokers

[sick sparrow]

i need to make some kind of bypass

when it's on view deck window or collection

[gilded narwhal]

also if I'm not misunderstood in order to take_ownership of a calculate function it needs to have the exact same contexts correct?

[wooden nexus]

WELP

[wintry swallow]

well these are a bit busted aren't they

[wooden nexus]

yes

but it's not the point

idc about balancing with Shinku's Card binder btw

[wintry swallow]

where did the +5 chip thing go

[wooden nexus]

what +5 chips?

[wintry swallow]

you know when you play a vanilla card it tells you how many chips you gained

[wooden nexus]

There are no chips

[wintry swallow]

oh

yeah there are no chips

that's from the high card

[wooden nexus]

yup

Also before anyone says it's an enhancement in disguise...

[wintry swallow]

bonus rare card

[gilded narwhal]

okay what if the joker I'm trying to modify doesn't even have a calculate function, how do I override it's original effect

[wintry swallow]

see i would use a hook for that

[thick panther]

How to you ensure a modded tarot works with The Fool? It crashes when I use the modded tarot and hover over the fool with center as a nil value.

[wintry swallow]

oh my fucking god i think i have to set a metatable on context.blind to do what i need to do

you KNOW nothing good can ever come out of me saying 'i have to set a metatable'

[thick panther]

if im understanding this right, does this mean I have to use localization to make my tarot work with Fool?

[wintry swallow]

oh god i have to dive into the hellscape that is calculate_joker

[elder vapor]

if its in the Tarot or Planet set it'll work

[thick panther]

Its in Tarot, but it crashes when I hover over Fool after using it.

[frosty dock]

-# the deck is not in fact colourful, i don't do sprites

[wintry swallow]

what is a spectrum

is that when you have one of all six suits in a hand

[frosty dock]

that's a hand with 5 different suits

-# i don't have 6-card hands

[dull saddle]

i think it sounds nice, would encourage straights or five of a kinds

[frosty dock]

-# i could add cross-mod support for asc hands

taking sprite suggestions for it btw, rn it's just an orange deck sprite

[dull saddle]

oooooo im a pixel artist want me to take a crack at it?

[frosty dock]

sure

[dull saddle]

mkay! quick questions, what colors are your custom suits

[wintry swallow]

well according to the text colour, moon is dark purple and star is pink

[frosty dock]

these are the playing card textures

[wintry swallow]

that's more grayish than what i was thinking

[frosty dock]

these are the same color

the transparent background makes it look that way

[wintry swallow]

they're what

[dull saddle]

thank you!

[frosty dock]

the same colors as in the description above

[wintry swallow]

yeah makes sense

[frosty dock]

looks like this in-game

[cyan dune]

Well, if the point of the deck is overwriting Moons and Stars, I think the deck should have the Moon suit's color, with the Moon and Star insignia on opposing sides of the center... and then a massive splash of paint in one of the four main suit colors on one of the corners.

Red or Yellow probably, since the Clubs and Spades aren't consistent enough

[gilded narwhal]

Hey guys where is the main portion of the cash out screen located?

[vagrant cedar]

I am very proud of this Joker

[livid tapir]

the art hurts my brain
what in the world

[vagrant cedar]

Its a makeup less Joker

He's too straight to wear makeup

[sick sparrow]

how did you made custom card that isn't rank or suit or enhancement

[livid tapir]

not even clown makeup lmao
bro got otherworldly straightness

[viscid bough]

Is that joker from texas

[vagrant cedar]

Yes

[vagrant cedar]

Also yes

[sick sparrow]

how to bypass checks

[wooden nexus]

#1318248620125851749 has the files

[viscid bough]

anyone got an idea for what these fellas could do for their ability? (ignore the unfinished clown hair)

[gilded narwhal]

this

[wintry swallow]

UI_definitions.lua

[vagrant cedar]

For the American flag one: +20 mult if scored hand contains a J and a 6

Name: Insurrectionist

@viscid bough Also real talk if you aren't doing the idea I just said, can I use that art for that idea in my custom pack that I'm only sharing with friends?

[viscid bough]

sure, id have to get a 1x size version if you want it

[vagrant cedar]

I appreciate it, i appreciate it

Nah i can downscale it myself

I appreciate it though

[viscid bough]

if you have an issue down scaling it i can send a 1x though just lemme know

[vagrant cedar]

Bet

[sick sparrow]

how to fix that thing

[sonic cedar]

hook lua
fixin that thang

[viscid bough]

how can i detect when a specific consumable card is used?

[tepid crow]

you could check .ability.name

[viscid bough]

and how can i detect a consumable being used to check its ability name?

[tepid crow]

I suggest you check https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Joker-Calculation

[frosty dock]

should be context.using_consumeable

[tepid crow]

anyone able to explain what

INFO - [G] :: DEBUG :: Test :: context = {
  destroying_card_hand = table: 0x1f3e98d0,
  full_hand = table: 0x1f070588,
}

the destroying_card_hand context is? 🤔

the code implies it's supposed to trigger once per joker per played card

[frosty dock]

it seems to be for... destroying cards held in hand?

idk

that's just by the name

I could be wrong

[tepid crow]

weird thing is that if I play a 5 card hand my joker receives it 3 times

but if I play high card I get it... 6 7 times?

correction, 7

[frosty dock]

yeah then it's for cards held in hand

[tepid crow]

OH I'M DUMB

cheers

[viscid bough]

Is there a file where all the possible context values are shown?

[tepid crow]

not really

[frosty dock]

this guide is a good start, and better documentation is being worked on

[tepid crow]

nothing actually organised anyway

that guide's the best we have, the rest you're going to have to go through the code

[livid tapir]

thank the lords

[frosty dock]

in the source code it's also not nicely in one place because all sorts of things in the code get calculation contexts, which is unimportant to where they actually are

so that's not the most helpful

but the only thing available beyond those docs so

[viscid bough]

guess i should also ask about getting the consumable card thats being used when using_consumable is true

[gilded narwhal]

Okay guys help me out do you guys think that this deck effectively incentivizes skipping

[tepid crow]

is that not in the guide I linked?

[faint yacht]

Moving out of Steamodded's thread, this doesn't show up the messages I need, instead just being two blanks. Still attempting to update for BetterCalc.

return {
  x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult > 1 and card.ability.extra.x_mult or nil,
  xmult_message = card.ability.extra.x_mult > 1 and localize({ type = "variable", key = "a_xmult", vars = { card.ability.extra.x_mult } }) or nil,
  x_chips = card.ability.extra.x_chips > 1 and card.ability.extra.x_chips or nil,
  xchip_message = card.ability.extra.x_chips > 1 and localize({ type = "variable", key = "a_xchips", vars = { card.ability.extra.x_chips } }) or nil
}

[viscid bough]

maybe i missed it

holdon

[sick sparrow]

you need eval_this to show multiple messages

[faint yacht]

This is BetterCalc, forgot to mention.

For old-calc, I used eval_this for Xmult and return for Xchips.

[tepid crow]

I believe you still can't multi-message in bettercalc?

you can use SMODS.calculate_effect({effects}, card) though

(unless extra can do something like that? no clue tbh)

[viscid bough]

Found it!

[tepid crow]

lez go

[tepid crow]

I mean, to get to the shop you need to skip, and since you usually want to get to the shop... I'd say so yeah

[faint yacht]

Those just show blank duplicates... and I'm not even using any returns, yet the effect occurs independently.

[vagrant cedar]

Anyone able to help me figure out my error?

Supposed to be +20 mult when a Jack and a 6 are scored together

It did nothing

I played a two pair with Jacks and 6s

[faint yacht]

You're checking if a given card is both a Jack and a 6. You should iterate over the scored hand and check if there's a Jack and a 6 outside.

[vagrant cedar]

I have no clue what that means if I'm being honest with you

I understood the first sentence

[faint yacht]

See this as a example for that.

[vagrant cedar]

Which Joker should I be looking at?

[faint yacht]

The link should've highlighted the lines for the function that I use.

[tepid crow]

y2kbug

[vagrant cedar]

It did not

[faint yacht]

138 - 149 for external function that I use for checking if I had a 2 and a King, 167 - 170 for actual thing.

[vagrant cedar]

I'll be honest I'm so new to Lua, I have absolutely no clue what Im looking at

I attempted to throw some of that into my code to see if it works

Did this as soon as I played a hand

[faint yacht]

Line 411 is...? Show code around that.

[vagrant cedar]

I've never done any local functions

So I literally have no clue what I'm looking at

[faint yacht]

You define local jack, but use jacks.

Also, only incrementing sixpresent in both 6 and Jack checks.

[wintry swallow]

holy shit i fixed madness

i have a challenge that replaces all blinds with boss blinds

[sonic cedar]

does anyone know how would i make a joker add to a (mult) counter after a certain number of rounds?

[wintry swallow]

unfortunately that means madness and other boss blind jokers didn't proc

i solved this with this incredible proxy object

[vagrant cedar]

409 is:
if six > 0 and jack > 0 then

[wintry swallow]

sixes

[faint yacht]

local sixes, jack

[vagrant cedar]

sixes ?

local sixes but jack

[sonic cedar]

sixes not six

[vagrant cedar]

I'm so confused

[wintry swallow]

your variable is named sixes, not jack

you are trying to compare nil and 0

[vagrant cedar]

Why is one of them plural

[wintry swallow]

because 'six' doesn't exist

because you wrote it as plural

[sonic cedar]

you named the variable in plural

[vagrant cedar]

oh

so i change that one

[sonic cedar]

to sixes

[vagrant cedar]

change them both to sixes

or change them both to six

[wintry swallow]

proxy objects could solve so much shit for me in this mod i probably should spin up a tiny library to make them

[sonic cedar]

whichever fr as long as everything matches

[vagrant cedar]

ok cool

[ancient ore]

hey gang how add probability effects to joker

[wintry swallow]

you'd wanna use the pseudorandom function

look at gros michel's code

honestly a good answer to "how do i do X" where X is something thunk did in vanilla is always "look at the code for the X in vanilla"

[vagrant cedar]

so it didn't work exactly as I planned

But I'm not going to fix that, I'm just gonna rewrite the text to what it does lmao

[ancient ore]

Thnx

[wintry swallow]

you also want your locvars to specify half of the chance's fraction

like X/4

(where X is normally 1)

this is for the sake of oops all sixes

[ancient ore]

I peeped a couple jokers that used chance effects but I didn't realize what the call for the effect was

[sonic cedar]

forgot to elab on this ok so

"{C:mult}+#1#{} Mult in",
            "final hand of",
            "the round",
            "This Joker gains",
            "{C:mult}+#2#{} Mult every",
            "3 rounds",
            "{C:inactive}(Currently {C:mult}+#1#{}{C:inactive} Mult)"

this is the effect of the joker as a whole. i got the first one down (thank you dusk) but i cant figure out how to do the same thing with the second effect? i tried experimenting with invis joker's stuff since it had a counter, but it wasnt for mult so idkkkk

[wintry swallow]

i have been modding this game for like a week and i'm getting into bullshit like proxy objects man this is fun

[sonic cedar]

im excited to be able to do cool stuff like that fr

[wintry swallow]

learn lua!

the only reason i can do this kind of shit is because i've been coding in lua for like a decade

[sonic cedar]

learning!

[sand oasis]

I think you could be able to get away with it by having a value for a ticker that you initialize at 0, count up once each round in your calculate function under joker_main, and check if it can be divided with a remainder of zero. If it can, then add whateve to your #2# variable

Does that make sense?

I'm new to this but some ooooold old coding knowledge is slowly shaking off some rust

[sonic cedar]

ok let me break it down rq 😭

[vagrant cedar]

He has risen @viscid bough

(ratratguy's art, for anyone wondering)

[sonic cedar]

ok so i would first create the tick before the calc function yeah?

[viscid bough]

honestly a funner ability than my original idea of giving X3 mult if the hand contains only clubs and hearts

[sand oasis]

yeah i see you have #1# for the amount of mult you're using, #2# is the amount of mult you're adding to #1#, you're gonna want to have actually two more variables, one for the amount of rounds you want to wait before 2 is added to 1, and one for the ticker

[cedar stream]

how would one check if a card has a specific suit

[wintry swallow]

there we go, cooked up a simple library for creating proxies

[sonic cedar]

i see i see let me do that

[cedar stream]

`Island_land = SMODS.Enhancement {
object_type = "Enhantment",
name = "mtg-Island_land",
key = "Island_land",
atlas = "island",
pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
config = { extra = { Xmult_mod = 1.25 } },
weight = 1,
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod } }
end,
calculate = function(self, card, context, effect)
if context.cardarea == G.play and not context.repetition and not card.debuff then
if card == suit_clubs.key then
return {card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod}

        else
         SMODS.change_base(G.hand.highlighted[i],suit_clubs.key,nil)   
        end
        
    end
end

}`

[wintry swallow]

the code for ns_proxy:

-- Nightshade's Proxy Object Library
-- (originally for Balatro)

ns_proxy = {}

function ns_proxy.make_proxy(data)
    assert(data.target, 'make_proxy: nil target specified')
    assert(data.proxies, 'make_proxy: nil proxies specified')

    local obj = {}
    local obj_proxy_meta = {
        __index = function(self, idx)
            if data.proxies[idx] then
                return data.proxies[idx](data.target)
            end
            return rawget(data.target, idx)
        end,
        __newindex = function(self, idx, val)
            if data.set_proxies and
                data.set_proxies[idx] then
                rawset(data.target, idx, data.set_proxies[idx](data.target, val))
            end
            rawset(data.target, idx, val)
        end
    }
    setmetatable(obj, obj_proxy_meta)
    return obj
end

[cedar stream]

context for my question

[sonic cedar]

where would i have the ticker go though? it wouldnt be in the joker desc so i wouldnt need a #4#{} would i?

[sand oasis]

nope you don't need that

[wintry swallow]

the ticker?

oh, the counter

[sonic cedar]

counter

yeah

[wintry swallow]

yeah no the #1# are "locvars", aka "localisation variables"

[sand oasis]

yeah counter, that's a better word

[wintry swallow]

they're only pertinent to what the text in game is displayed like

[sand oasis]

Ohhhhh so you don't need to have any non-visible variables in loc_vars and just initialized under configs?

[sonic cedar]

dont need a locvar if im not showing the counter (it'd get too cramped/bloated? in the desc)

[wintry swallow]

no, loc vars are only for things you want the player to see

[sand oasis]

gotcha

[wintry swallow]

i fucked with the locvar system a good bunch in my challenge mod for the descriptions for the effects

so i know how it works

[sonic cedar]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Suit-and-SMODS.Rank btw

[wintry swallow]

comical amount of work went into drawing this little text

[cedar stream]

checked there many times

[sonic cedar]

oh fr

[wintry swallow]

part of my lovely hook for the challenge description localisation stuff

then there's another hook in localize

then there's ANOTHER hook in loc_colour

just so there's pretty colours when a showdown blind is specified in this modifier

[sonic cedar]

in that case check out the code for castle (the joker), it has to check for suits so it knows what you discarded

[sonic cedar]

oooo

[wintry swallow]

fucking implemented a custom context-sensitive colour tag

[sonic cedar]

imagine it did hex

[light echo]

Arts mostly done, still need to clean up some parts, but a h, glad I got it all working

[sonic cedar]

aint no way

[wintry swallow]

you should specify it in E notation to be funny

[light echo]

[sonic cedar]

one ://SEED and it's over

[dull saddle]

made two diff vers!

[wintry swallow]

10e1834097

would be funny

[dull saddle]

files for an atlus or individual .png reference in the code

[wintry swallow]

those are some really pretty deck sprites wow

[light echo]

[sonic cedar]

oh those are pretty wowww

[dull saddle]

:D thanks it took forever to figure out how to make the circles centered properly on the card in aseperite

[sonic cedar]

ok but what deck

[light echo]

Should I remove the commas, or keep em in?

10e1834097 vs 10e1,834,097

without

[sonic cedar]

do NOT KEEP THE COMMAS im begging

(its gonna look ugly)

[light echo]

I looked at it then felt a twinge of disgust

😭

[sonic cedar]

real 😭

[light echo]

[sonic cedar]

yayyyyyyy
now give it the xmult box

[dull saddle]

im working on coding my first custom jokers (real tame things tbh) wanna see the art?

[sonic cedar]

suree

[dull saddle]

im making the jokers give x1.5 mult for each card of the corresponding suit held in hand. was gonna go .5 but that would make it divide and i was worried abt that for balance, so i jsut upped the rarity and cost accordingly instead

[light echo]

I just get "nil" when I try to put it in a box

[sonic cedar]

-# ok but where though

[sonic cedar]

are you fr....

[sonic cedar]

oh god its baron for checkered deck

[light echo]

What I have is: "card gives {C:red}#X10e1834097#{} Mult",

What I get in game:

prolly doin it wrong

[sonic cedar]

{X: }

as in xmult

[light echo]

ah okie okie

[dull saddle]

if it helps theyre set as 'rare' for rarity

[sonic cedar]

{X:mult, C:white} for the red box with the white yk what i mean iirc

[sonic cedar]

well yeah they are around the same quality so rare should be good

[ancient ore]

can someone tell me why the note in line 3 is true? Like I don't understand what in that line defines "#1#" with the value put after "Xmult ="

[sonic cedar]

ok so locvars start at #1# and move onward right

[dull saddle]

this is what i have for code rn, it would be real helpful for a double check b4 i make copies of the code for each suit

    key = 'pridefuljoker',
    loc_txt = {
      name = 'Prideful Joker',
      text = {
        "{X:red,C:white} X#1.5# {} Mult for each",
        "{C:hearts}#2#{} suit held in hand",
      }
    },
    config = { extra = { Xmult = 1.5 } },

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
      return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
    end,
    rarity = 3,
    atlas = 'SinfulJokers',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    cost = 8,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
      if context.other_card:get_suit("hearts") then
        return {
          mult_mod = card.ability.extra.x_mult,
          message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.x_mult } }
        }
      end
    end
  }```

[sonic cedar]

since the only variable is that one, no others are needed to be returned so #1 is assigned with the Xmult

[ancient ore]

Oh so any further variables added get assigned with the following number?

[sonic cedar]

did you check ingame first ofc

[sonic cedar]

youd have to do it but yes

[rare bobcat]

How would I make oil lamp blueprint compatible

[dull saddle]

no i got distracted by pixel art then dinner, but was gonna do that next

[sonic cedar]

#2
#3
etc

[light echo]

Okay, red box works, but the font is still black

[sonic cedar]

whar

[light echo]

{X:mult, C:white}X10e1834097{} right?

[dull saddle]

put # aroudn the numbers

[sonic cedar]

you forgot the #...

[light echo]

ah

[dull saddle]

like X#10e1834097#

[light echo]

okie

[sonic cedar]

wait is that

is that the loc var

[light echo]

Thank you

[sonic cedar]

what line is that in

in your code

[dull saddle]

loc txt

is where it should be i think

[sonic cedar]

im hoping that's not where

because that means he's about to create a variable assigned as

10ebignumber

[dull saddle]

SMODS.Joker {
key = 'pridefuljoker',
loc_txt = {
name = 'Prideful Joker',
text = {
"{X:red,C:white} X#1.5# {} Mult for each",
"{C:hearts}#2#{} suit held in hand",
}
},
config = { extra = { Xmult = 1.5 } },

[light echo]

[dull saddle]

this section, where it assigns the description and key and stuff

[sonic cedar]

between the hashtags is the variable not the desc
you use the config to give the variable a value later
tldr change #1.5 to #1#

[sonic cedar]

YOU TOO

define your value in the config section not the loc txt

{X:mult, C:white}#1#{}

etc etc

config = {extra = {Xmult = that big ass number}

nvm fixed

[dull saddle]

you can tell this is my first time actually coding

but! i think im understanding it i think maybe

[sonic cedar]

literally day 3 right here

[sonic cedar]

literally yes

which is why it uses the vars

[dull saddle]

i c/p jsut the desc coding section earlier sorry it was confusing

[sonic cedar]

because it needs something to read

[runic pecan]

How do I add thumbnail to my post in #1209506514763522108?

[sonic cedar]

oh i have no idea i havent even used it

[sonic cedar]

no otherwise your code's fine unless i missed something

just change the 1.5 in the variable section to 1

[light echo]

Should just be this iirc

[sonic cedar]

ah yes the big thumbnail button of course

[runic pecan]

Sorry, I mean a post I already made

[light echo]

Oh

uh

[sonic cedar]

doesnt look like you can

[light echo]

Yeah, I don't believe you can

[dull saddle]

thank you after staring at the code for a few more moments i understood

[light echo]

Wait actually you can

[sonic cedar]

wait fr

[sonic cedar]

[light echo]

if you send an image in the post chat, it'll prompt you to add it to your cover

[sonic cedar]

well there you go then

[dull saddle]

does anyone know where the vanilla jokers are located in the lua files? i wanna double check some stuff but i cant figre out what lua file to look in (localization just has the textboxes, not funcionality to my eyes but maybe im missing smth?)

[light echo]

but that has to be the first message....

discord, istg man

😭

[runic pecan]

I did saw it but I was sharing a screenshot that I didn't want to make it as the post thumbnail so I clicked no.

And that prompt is probably not coming back isn't it

[light echo]

not by the looks of it 😭

[ancient ore]

well it's working that's for sure

your scoring doesnt have a high enough limit though

[sonic cedar]

vanilla joker behaviors,,, are hardcoded,,,

darnit

[runic pecan]

I added a link of my icon into the head post and it worked!

[light echo]

:o

[sonic cedar]

yayyyy

[runic pecan]

Even better thing is that the link is toward my mod github.
Which means technically I can change it whenever I want.

[sonic cedar]

sickkk

[sonic cedar]

also this is an ad for talisman

[light echo]

I already got talisman dawg

[sonic cedar]

then turn it higher

[light echo]

higher then omega?

[runic pecan]

[Insert Kylo Ren "MORE" meme]

[sonic cedar]

your number is just that high ig

ok so what you can do insteadddd

im not scrollin all that h

fine i wil

[sick sparrow]

made the disabler card that debuffs adjacent card

it's for testing purposes

[light echo]

got it

[sick sparrow]

what if you use cryptid and use seed card into this

it always gives 1.0e1834097 mult

[light echo]

time to find out

I think with seed it makes it 1/10

[sick sparrow]

it's always 100%

[light echo]

My probability is higher then they accounted for

[light echo]

only thing I know works is the AAAAH?! It's Infinity!? joker from snows mods

Cause that boosts base by 10^300

cryptid is like 10^9

mine is like 10^10

[forest hinge]

quick q: I'm using card_eval_status_text when my joker copies a playing card to flash the 'Copied!' message. it works, except when the joker is copied by blueprint, the message shows up under the original joker, rather than under blueprint. is anyone more of a card_eval_status_text understander than I am to know what could cause this?

nvm, read some source code and found out about context.blueprint_card

[sonic cedar]

i thought you were using it alr lmao

so i started searching

yeah the one labeled blueprint may or may not help you with blueprint

also remember if you want it to say that it's compatible with blueprint (visually only it's a separate thing), put blueprint_compat = true before your locvars section

[forest hinge]

yeap, I'd gotten that stuff

[sonic cedar]

kk

[ancient ore]

Alright no calling me stupid allowed, but simply cannot figure out how to add new variables

This obv aint the way

[karmic kelp]

in what way is it not acting how you hope

[ancient ore]

#2# doesn't call the variable

[karmic kelp]

what does the body of loc_vars look like

[karmic kelp]

so you need to put the second ability inside of the vars = {blah}

because doing it like that, if I recall my Lua properly, sets it to index 1 or 2 or something you're not wanting

[ancient ore]

Oh like with the same {}

[karmic kelp]

ye

[ancient ore]

😔

Oh wait

Nvm I though it was cause I missed a space i have no clue why its crashing

[karmic kelp]

what's the body look like now

[karmic kelp]

odd... those brackets look matched

[ancient ore]

Thats what im sayinnn

[sick sparrow]

i made it math.huge so it's literal guaranteed

[ancient ore]

wait what is the difference between center.ability and card.ability

[ancient ore]

this guy was spitting

[light echo]

nah dude was shittin

[ancient ore]

ohhhh

so is this telling me that it can't find the closing bracket?

[light echo]

not enough apparently

I've used seed and have yet to hit the mult

[crisp coral]

isn't seed e999

huge is e308

[light echo]

would this have changed in a recent update?

cause I haven't updated my mods for about 2-3ish days

okay yeah

with seed it becomes 1/10

took me a bit but I finally hit mult

[crisp coral]

nvm its 1e9

[wintry swallow]

look for a function named calculate_joker

now read it and despair

[sick sparrow]

yes it is the math.huge is largest number and it has higher chance than AAAAH?! It's Infinity!? joker from snows mods, and rigged from cryptid

in fact math.huge is ieee 754 infinity and you can't get any higher than that

[light echo]

Well with snows joker card, it hits every time, with seed it hits 1/10th of the time, so I don't know what to tell you dawg

😭

[sick sparrow]

for example the card that hits 1 over 10^304, seed hits 1 over 10^295, AAAAH?! It's Infinity!? hits 1 over 10^4 and math.huge hits every time

[wintry swallow]

i'm glad i managed to fix the bug where madness was thinking every blind was a boss blind even if it was on the 1st or 2nd blind of the ante

[gilded narwhal]

srry for the block of code but is this just like the sound or is it something else

[hollow bronze]

I have a dummy project going on for my mod (trying to inject the "touch controls" on desktop (dragging cards to buy/sell/use) and I have a few questions which might me noob modding/lua questions but:

1. is there a way to write patches.pattern patch blocks from like, a Git diff?

2. I guess it's more of a Lua/Love2D question but: if I want to override the method of a class (let's say Card) do I need to do it inside of card.lua ? And can I just add my own Card:foobar() method and it will take precedence over any existing Card:foobar() method?

[wintry swallow]

i did it by hooking the start of calculate_joker and overwriting context.blind with a proxy object that has its boss field modified depending on whether it's the last blind of the ante (via my custom system that tracks it because that was broken too)

[wintry swallow]

• no, you have to do it manually
• if I wanted to override a method entirely I'd use a Lovely patch to insert a return statement before the rest of the code I didn't want to execute

like uh, inserted code would look like

function Card:foobar(params)
  return my_card_foobar(params)
  -- rest of original Card:foobar here, which never runs

you can also use position='at' patches

which delete the pattern altogether and replace it with the payload

[light echo]

Seed only gives 1e9 for me man

[dry merlin]

tryingto make a challenge but i cant get it to give you a joker?
probably set this up wrong can someone help me pls

[sick sparrow]

why don't you understand

[light echo]

I'm just confused about what you are trying to tell me quite honestly. All I said was Seed doesn't work 100% of the time, and it is about a 1/10 chance, The only card I know capable of always hitting the mult is snows infinity dice joker, since it boosts the probability up by e300, not e9 like seed does. So from my point of view, it seems you are trying to say I'm incorrect, when what I am playing with shows otherwise. /nm /gen

[ancient ore]

gang what this mean

[sick sparrow]

do you want to try my mod where it has true infinity chance to hit?

[light echo]

ahhhh

sure

[sick sparrow]

check my dm

[sick sparrow]

and try increasing tower of babel to 10^304, it will prove this is infinity chance

[vagrant cedar]

I think I'm getting carried away with my meme Jokers

[dull saddle]

how do i check what version is latest of steammodded (like the vers number) so i can put it down right for mod dependences and such?

bc there is no numbered release on github, and the alpha version jsut auto downloaded im not sure where to check? would love if anyone knew

[tall wharf]

damn

[nova finch]

what albums should i add?

[dull saddle]

rise and fall of a midwest jimbo

[tall wharf]

kessoku band

ok sorry

[dull saddle]

this album

[vagrant cedar]

for some reason the 5th one looks familiar and I can't put my hands on it

[vagrant cedar]

Idk still not placing it

Does anybody know the code to make a Joker add 4 to your hand size?

@dull saddle ?

[dull saddle]

no idea i started coding today

[cedar stream]

have you looked at the code for mspaint joker

[dull saddle]

let me double check the vanilla exapmles mods bc i already have it open

[vagrant cedar]

i didnt see anything in that but i could've missed it

[vagrant cedar]

i have not

[cedar stream]

i would reccomend doing that

[vagrant cedar]

I don't know what mspaint joker means

[cedar stream]

its the one you are talking about

[vagrant cedar]

Nothing comes up for that on Google

[cedar stream]

its called MSpaint joker

[vagrant cedar]

Is that not a base card?

[cedar stream]

no

its a card from morefluff i belive

[vagrant cedar]

why would I possibly know that 😭

[cedar stream]

but the card that adds +1 hand size is called jugeler i belive

[dull saddle]

https://github.com/notmario/MoreFluff/blob/main/jokers/mspaint.lua

[vagrant cedar]

Yeah I found it

I'm looking at it right now but I'm lost

Because the "first hand of the blind" part

also why is every variable 0

OH

I see it at the top

Okay

I'll figure out how to work this out

[dull saddle]

if you know the hand modifier you SHOULD be able to work it out with the vanillajokers smods example pack i think? im not sure

https://github.com/notmario/MoreFluff/blob/main/jokers/hallofmirrors.lua ehres another one with + to hand size hope it helps

[vagrant cedar]

This is making me more confused honestly

I'm so lost

[silk compass]

luigi is coming

not tonight though im exhausted

[cedar stream]

does anyone know why this is not scoring the 1.25 Xmult

[past holly]

is there an existing function similar to pseudorandom_element but it selects multiple unique elements from a table instead of just one?

[sick sparrow]

except this is joker in cryptid

[runic pecan]

For some reason my joker did NOT pop up any messages.
Any suggestions?

[livid tapir]

well that means that neither return was executed which for an else statement then maybe the context is wrong? i dont know how this stuff works but i do know that the returns should give a message if specified one on correct card

[runic pecan]

Should I change it to card = self ?
Or the problem isn't that one?

[livid tapir]

they couldve been executed and the card was just wrong so
try doing a print() to debug in the if and else statements to get more info on if the if statements were done correctly

[livid tapir]

self is the center, card is the... card

so i dont think so

wait what is pseudorandom do?

[runic pecan]

a random number from zero to one

[livid tapir]

and fubuki is a method of randomizing i assume

[runic pecan]

I... I mean...
It's the string seed for randomization.
But when you put it like that...

[livid tapir]

you could always do math.random() since without arguments thats the same thing right

or is it like that you need pseudorandom

[livid tapir]

OHHH ok

[frosty dock]

pseudorandom makes randomness consistent with seeds

[livid tapir]

ok cool

[livid tapir]

im guessing maybe a problem with the contexts so try this to see whats not working

just put a unique print statement on all of the if statements

[runic pecan]

I yanked this part from vulpix of pokermon

[livid tapir]

ah ok

[livid tapir]

math.randomseed(--[[whatever seed]]) before math.random() should do the trick
so pseudorandom just does both of those condensed into one function?

[dull saddle]

does anyone know how to set conditions that interact with vanilla jokers? i want to set an unlock condition config where it unlocks/is discovered once you play one of the suit jokers (like lusty) but im unsure of all of the stuff i can do with config and i cant find the documentation

would i have to do the weird take ownership thing?

[frosty dock]

there's some more stuff going on with pseudoseed generating somewhat unique seeds out of the given string for each different game seed

I don't think pseudorandom itself does more than that

[livid tapir]

ok cools

[lyric blade]

Guys, I have a joker that gives a random tag at end of shop. Should it be rare or legendary?

[runic pecan]

I think it should be Rare.

It's not OP enough to be Legendary on my scale.

[lyric blade]

That's what I thought too

[glass scaffold]

I have a new Joker working, but it doesn't do the visible effect when triggered.

[tall wharf]

i am going insane

[frosty dock]

show code | old calc or new calc?

[tall wharf]

day 3 of rewriting straight logic

[glass scaffold]

Old calc

[frosty dock]

try card = card instead of other_card and remove the colour fields

[glass scaffold]

But the colour fields are what show that the Joker's giving chips and mult, yeah?

Nevermind. You were 100% on it.

Thanks for the help

[long sun]

isn't that just Scholar?

[glass scaffold]

Yes and no.

[sick sparrow]

me trying not to utilize sound util and using love's internal sound library and they are complaining that file dosen't exist (even tho this file exists)

[frosty dock]

you have a double slash in your path

(mod paths are /-terminated)

[sick sparrow]

not even single slash works

[calm rose]

i'm not trying to be a bother, but could someone help me out? i am trying to create a joker that works like ceremonial dagger but without the mult, but whenever i try to test it i am met with this error. i don't know how to fix it? i also put my code in for reference.

[frosty dock]

Also why would you be trying not to use sound util?

[frosty dock]

your sliced_card is out of scope in the event

[sick sparrow]

this requires extra package and i do not like it

[frosty dock]

there's sound api in steamodded

[random sleet]

we have sound api at home

[calm rose]

this may be a stupid question, but how do i make it in scope?

[frosty dock]

move the code outside of the if statement inside of the if statement

[random sleet]

when the if statement ends, all variables created in its scope vanish into clown dust

[calm rose]

i see, that makes sense

well, it doesn't crash now, so thank you for helping with that, but nothing gets sliced

everything just kind of keeps living

[random sleet]

relatable

[calm rose]

i mean, it's not too bad, as the whole point of the joker was to be annoying and while an eternal useless joker is not as annoying as an eternal joker that keep destroying your other jokers, it's still fairly annoying, so thanks guys

[sick sparrow]

how to quick reload in balatro

[sick sparrow]

like i have to make a dummy mod that adds nothing and i need to toggle in order to reload

[frosty dock]

hold m

[violet void]

ty for adding that as a keybind

[torpid crane]

is there such a thing as discard retriggers? as in a way to say, get two tarot cards from a purple seal or hit the road getting two hits from one jack

[sick sparrow]

how to unhighlight card?

[tall wharf]

hello I'm still struggling in making straight logic do i just

[sick sparrow]

i have to put a upper bound to that card

also thanks discord for converting tabs to whitespaces

it exceeds 2000 character limit and this makes fail to send message

[vagrant cedar]

I doubt anyone here plays Bohnanza, but I made a card based off Bohnanza's Cocoa Bean

This was my reference image

It functions essentially the exact same as Golden Joker though

Just slightly improved

[final kettle]

hey chat, I've been thinking about making a localisation mod, where do I get started?

[tall wharf]

i weep at this font

[frosty dock]

ikr, and then not even displaying them in file view

like wdym i have to click view whole file to be shown whitespace

[shell timber]

looks alright, but i'd probably make the art take up the whole card like in the original and make the "cocoa bean" text on the card say joker instead

[sudden nexus]

[sick sparrow]

looks like cryptid does not handle create_playing_card and appears as normal card

[crisp coral]

what...

[sick sparrow]

if the balatro is lagging, the cards (moveables) go crazy

[tall wharf]

i will go mad by rewriting this over and over again

maybe i needed that 60 suits mod or something to test this

[merry raven]

Why are you writing code by hand

[random sleet]

why arent you

wow it is conflicting with my sticker

[urban veldt]

Thoughts on this, balancing wise

Light Glyph (uncommon)
Scored Diamonds without enhancements get a random enhancement.

(assume the cycle for each suit)

[runic pecan]

In the future I want to make a series of jokers with each refers to a song.
Should I sort them by singer or by release date?
Sorting by singer is easier for searching, while sorting by release date can deal with cases when a song is sung by multiple singers.

[dreamy thunder]

Def by singer

[hardy viper]

meh searching is easy either way

as long as the singers are somewhere in the name/description of the joker

[runic pecan]

I mean as in the sense of code developement and maintainment

[hardy viper]

or the TMJ metadata that i really should add but haven't yet

[hardy viper]

if you're gonna have a lot (per singer that is) you could use multiple files, one for each singer

or per year if you wanted to do that instead

use the balatro game source

unzip the .love

or whatever it is lmao i omor

balatro.exe on windows

it's much simpler than the love bundle

[hardy viper]

like the hit indie video game

[sudden dew]

Open up your favorite unzipping tool (winrar, 7zip, whatever), then use that to open Balatro.exe like you would any other .zip file

How do I change a card to a custom enhancement?

[weary jungle]

:set_ability iirc

[bold sleet]

if the mod prefix is sbc and the enhancement naie is 'fire', then how would I make it?

Exactly?

    calculate = function (self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main and G.GAME.current_round.hands_left == 0 then
          return{
            mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
            message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = {card.ability.extra.mult} },
          }
        end
        if context.end_of_round and not context.individual and not context.repetition and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.c_rounds =  card.ability.extra.c_rounds + 1
            if card.ability.extra.c_rounds >= card.ability.extra.rounds and (card.ability.extra.c_rounds - 1) < card.ability.extra.rounds then
             local eval = function(card) return not card.REMOVED end
             juice_card_until(card, eval, true) 
            end
            return {
                message = (card.ability.extra.c_rounds < card.ability.extra.rounds) and (card.ability.extra.c_rounds..'/'..card.ability.extra.rounds) or localize('k_active_ex'),
                colour = G.C.FILTER
            }
        end
        if (card.ability.extra.c_rounds >= card.ability.extra.rounds) and not context.blueprint then
            local eval = function(card) return (card.ability.loyalty_remaining == 0) and not G.RESET_JIGGLES end
                juice_card_until(card, eval, true)
            return{
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult_gain,
                message = localize{
                    type = 'variable',
                    key = 'a_mult',
                    vars = {card.ability.extra.mult_gain},
                    },
            card = card 
             }
         end
    end```

morning, people! can someone tell me why this calculate function isnt working as intended? 
intended: the card gains a certain number of mult ONCE every 3 rounds

I'm not super savvy but trying to learn so will attempt to help if you don't mind.

what text do you want the joker to say exactly?

and also what is the joker doing at the moment?

[wooden badge]

jeez that really isn't what you want
