btw you can try this mod but you'll need the "Utage Charts" Joker to get bigger card selection than 5

[zealous glen]

There was a game I played where talking to non-English speaking players about the translated name of a skill would get it censored

[tepid eagle]

im using the latest version of steamodded, what contexts do i need to check for and exclude for just like a regular x_mult giving joker? my joker code has been revealed to be incredibly foolish

[zealous glen]

I imagine it should just be joker_main

[violet void]

yes I had the same issue, it kept triggering nonstop

[zealous glen]

Might be due to Joker retriggers

[frosty dock]

then don't remove profanity

[tall wharf]

😭😭😭😭

there are things i should remove

[zealous glen]

Wait

[tall wharf]

the word list isn't exactly family friendly but it's also not trying to insult anyone

i curated the list a little bit myself

[zealous glen]

Nevermind I had a bad idea

[tall wharf]

not the entire list

[frosty dock]

that's fine, but a word list doesn't need to be family friendly

[tall wharf]

it's not trying to be

[frosty dock]

I don't see how recognizing something as a valid word would be insulting, either

[tepid eagle]

i hope my new joker works on the first try!

[zealous glen]

First Balatro mod to earn the 18+42+ age rating

Only for people aged 60 and up

[frosty dock]

Lmao

[zealous glen]

I think the issue is rewarding it with scoring

Also there are games with word lists

Like Scribblenauts

I imagine even Scrabble and Wordle curated their word lists

At least “Scrabble at home”

[frosty dock]

fair

[tall wharf]

i think the letters should give mult when scored

maybe a bit too OP?

[weak brook]

how could I intercept the consumable code that forces the consumable to go to the center of the screen and be destroyed? does anyone know what part of the code does that?

i'm looking at the use functions and i dont see that part of it, just the parts for the consumables' effects

[plain apex]

if you are making a boss blind how do you test it do you just run until you find it or can you force it in some way?

[shell tangle]

I think maybe check out G.FUNCS.use_card in button_callbacks.lua?

[weak brook]

yeah think thats it

thanks

[shell tangle]

I believe #1228149931257237664 lets you force it by spawning it in with 3.

[mellow widget]

counterpoint : when played it debuffs your entire deck and grants no chips so they never play slurs

[tall wharf]

😭

[violet void]

wasnt there the name of the mod once

[hollow patrol]

hi, is there a way to check what the final mult of the last played hand is?

[mellow widget]

i probably am just blind, but i can't figure out how to change hands or discards. is there a function or?

[hushed briar]

tried to search for an answer here, do we know of how to target steamodded with lovely patches? i wanted to change the way editions are applied in standard packs, but steamodded seems to override the normal function

[wooden nexus]

NAE???x?

[violet void]

ease_discard

[mellow widget]

where can i find that in docs?

[violet void]

idk, but its in the source code

[weak depot]

(there's also an ease_dollars func if you wanna change how rich the player is)

[mellow widget]

oh

[mellow widget]

i thought we weren't allowed to debug source code

[weak depot]

meet my child

[weak depot]

you can look through it

[tall wharf]

false minimalist

the real one just writes J

[mellow widget]

how would one go about doing that?

[dull saddle]

open archive on the balatro .exe using 7zip

[mellow widget]

thx

[weak depot]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod

[frosty dock]

wait for lovely 0.7.0
-# it's technically possible to target steamodded files but it currently crashes lovely

[tall wharf]

i have scaled it down a lot

[weak depot]

"word"

[tall wharf]

it was just too big

[tall wharf]

yeah

[violet void]

interesting concept

from 100 of a kind to this

[tall wharf]

oh wow just under 4 of a kind

[hushed briar]

[tall wharf]

hmmmmm

oh wow i got ante 0

[plain apex]

what did i do wrong here?

SMODS.Blind {
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Fracture',
        text = { 'All played cards are destroyed' }
    },
    key = 'Fracture',
    name = 'Fracture',
    config = {},
    boss = { min = 1, max = 10, hardcore = true },
    boss_colour = HEX("672A62"),
    atlas = "Blinds",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    dollars = 5,

    press_play = function (self)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                -- Loop through the played cards in reverse order
                for i = #G.play.cards, 1, -1 do
                    G.play.cards[i]:start_dissolve()
                end
                return true
            end
        }))
        return true
    end
}

[thorny adder]

Hardcore = true ?

Whats that

[plain apex]

idk i saw that within other people blinds while looking into making blinds

[thorny adder]

Cause I never coded blinds

So idk

But I wonder what it does

[plain apex]

yeah me neither lol

[tall wharf]

i think it's destroyed before they are scored

[cerulean rose]

its trying to score a card that doesnt exist

[tall wharf]

😭

[thorny adder]

Is that the multiverse

[plain apex]

how can i fix it to destroy them AFTER they score?

[tall wharf]

what is multiverse

[tall wharf]

maybe queue an event for that?

[plain apex]

what would i put to do that?

[tall wharf]

i did this in my own mod

                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        context.other_card:start_dissolve({ G.C.BLUE }, nil, 1.6, false)
                        return true
                    end,
                    delay = 0.5,
                }), 'base')

[autumn coral]

is there a way to loc_vars the name of a joker?

i need the names to be different per joker spawned

if there isn't by smods my ass is gonna make my own way idrc lmfao

[frosty dock]

loc_vars in smods allows you to put a different localization key

[autumn coral]

that's not what i mean

i want the name to be #1# but it crashed when i tried that

[frosty dock]

vars don't work in names, I don't think

[autumn coral]

fuck

[frosty dock]

might need a custom generate_ui function for that

[autumn coral]

goddammit

why do i have to do everything myself

😭

mfw what was supposed to be the SIMPLEST part of the hardest item i'm adding to my mod is gonna take the longest likely

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/old-calc/src/game_object.lua#L1046

you can go off this and just change the name part

[autumn coral]

istg why is this so hard to read

uh

which part should i change?

i'm assuming i want something like this?

god hates me the most i guess

atp i'm going to make my own smods istg

[cedar stream]

do you want to join up in programing and dev and work on this together while getting help here from our man mr smods

[autumn coral]

suuuure

[frosty dock]

actually lemme see if there's a good way to support name vars baked into that function

[tall wharf]

amazing art

[twin basin]

anyone know why this is crashing? it says "46: attempt to index field 'extra' (a nil value)"

SMODS.Joker

    key = "Troll",
    loc_txt =

        name = "Troll Joker",

                message = "+" .. card.ability.extra.mult,
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end
    end
}

[tall wharf]

alright

[violet void]

lua spotted

[twin basin]

🥺

[faint yacht]

center.ability.extra.mult should be card.ability.extra.mult.

[twin basin]

ok now i can hover over the joker but when i play a hand it gives me the same error

now referring to this line

card.ability.extra.mult = cash * 10

i fixed it

[nocturne estuary]

it was because he used save states to test it

[hollow patrol]

bump

[gilded narwhal]

I don't actually know how to fix this crash

Is there an easier way to just get the sprite of the current deck and use it for G.UIT.O

Because I honestly kinda have no idea what I'm doing

[ionic verge]

whats the text color used for stuff like '1/2 chance' in joker descriptions?

(this one)

[wintry solar]

{C:green}

[ionic verge]

thanks

[nocturne estuary]

card1 and card2 are both nil, why can't I set them to something?
It does go the first the way of the first if branch but says that upvalue card1 is nil

calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.setting_blind then 
            if card1 == nil and card2 == nil then
                print('this way')
                card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = 'Steal!'})
                card1 = G.hand.cards[math.random(1, #G.hand.cards)]
                card2 = G.hand.cards[math.random(1, #G.hand.cards)]
                card1:remove_from_deck()
                card2:remove_from_deck()
            else
                print('that way')
                card1:set_edition(editions[math.random(1, #editions)])
                card2:set_edition(editions[math.random(1, #editions)])
                card1:draw()
                card2:draw()
                card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = 'Return'})
                card1 = 0
                card2 = 0
            end
        end
    end

[ionic verge]

how is text bolded in descriptions?

nevermind i dont need it

[violet void]

where do you get card1 and card2 from?

[cerulean rose]

G.hand.cards is an empty table during context.setting_blind

so when you try to get an element from it you get nil

[nocturne estuary]

they are defined in the script at the top

[nocturne estuary]

ah

how would I get two random cards from the hand at the start of a round then?

[cerulean rose]

also why are you setting the variables to 0 at the end?

[cerulean rose]

check code for cerulean bell

[violet void]

context.first_hand_drawn

and put the stuff in an 'after' event, thats how I did it

[nocturne estuary]

ok

[hushed briar]

does anyone know how to take_ownership of a booster pack? every time i try i just get this

[weak brook]

alright new complex thing i'm asking for help with

https://i.imgur.com/AaIa1DN.png

i'm making this thing have a texture in two layers

i wanna be able to adjust the tape_move and sleeve_move values to have the two layers move on the x axis

for an animation

the two layers render now but they dont move at all when the value changes

does anyone here know how to help with this?

[zealous glen]

what are the values

[weak brook]

well i saw the same results with them being both 0, or with them being 40 and -40. i thought those values might make a noticable change for testing, im not sure what the right value for them is until i get to test with them properly

right now they're put into this argument

https://i.imgur.com/CVJD1Jw.png

so it should slide it along x if it changes, theoretically

[zealous glen]

try scaling it proportionally to the width of the card and test it

Idk what the units are

[weak brook]

71x95

[zealous glen]

No

The in-game units

for the screen, etc.

[weak brook]

oh my resolution

thats 1440p

[zealous glen]

also nope

whatever unit system the game uses

just use the width of the card

[weak brook]

ok

nothing

maybe the issue isnt with that but rather the setup i have to setup the canvas

[zealous glen]

what are you trying to draw that you need a canvas?

[weak brook]

i tried to have the love.graphics.draw have all the same info as from the previous pic before but it resulted in them not drawing at all

just two different textures

on top of each other

[zealous glen]

is it for a card?

[weak brook]

a consumable

[zealous glen]

so you should be able to use draw_shader for it I reckon

some of the paramenters offset the texture

[weak brook]

does that work with textures?

[zealous glen]

they used it for letters

[tall wharf]

RIVETING GAMEPLAY

[weak brook]

hmm

[zealous glen]

there they are

[weak brook]

good timing

hey aiko

can i see your draw_shader code

[zealous glen]

they sent it earlier

[tall wharf]

HELLO

[zealous glen]

and in hindsight I had something similar

[zealous glen]

This is the patch I use. It goes right after Hologram in the code, and looking at draw_shader should give you an idea of how to make it move more or less.

end

[zealous glen]

than most soul sprites

that's where I used math.sin

[weak brook]

so these cant be integrated into the draw function these have to be lovely patched?

[zealous glen]

Idk I never used it but

Steamodded has a Center:draw method

maybe that could help

[weak brook]

yeah thats what i'm using

[tall wharf]

here is my patch

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]

payload = """                aikoyori_draw_extras(self, layer)"""
overwrite = true
match_indent = true

[zealous glen]

I just never used it

[weak brook]

dps used it for speen

im basing it off that

[zealous glen]

I think it might be able to be used

but I never tried

I wanted to to find out

but I haven't yet

[weak brook]

this is dps' code

for speen

ok yeah im realizing the issue with you guys approach is that you're using the soul

i cant use the soul cause my top layer needs to be indistinguishable from the normal layer

[zealous glen]

you can make it indistinguishable

like with playing cards

[weak brook]

wouldnt it always have the moving around effect and drop shadow

[zealous glen]

you can change that

[weak brook]

how so 🤔

[zealous glen]

it's the rest of the arguments

[weak brook]

hm ok

[zealous glen]

The only one that could be tricky is the drop shadow depending on the position

[weak brook]

the way im doing this is like, under normal circumstances the top layer completely eclipses the bottom layer

once the moving effect happens both layers move in different directions so the bottom layer is shown halfway peaking out to the right

this video demonstrates the concept

except for the whole activate button thing

i chose to scrap that idea and just intercept the use button instead

[zealous glen]

hmmm

That's peeking to the left

[weak brook]

ah yeah mistake i made in the video

changed my mind since it normally doesnt do that on usa cases

[ionic verge]

question, how hard would this be to code?

[zealous glen]

Not sure

[weak brook]

not hard, i think boss disabling is a boolean last i checked

[zealous glen]

There isn't an enable method

[weak brook]

you could turn it off and then back on

[zealous glen]

nah

there's a method

[weak brook]

oh ok

[zealous glen]

which does whatever it needs to disable the blind

I think set_blind would have side effects

so you either figure out how to avoid them or give up

that's my motivational message of the month

[zealous glen]

worst-case you just need to do more patching to control how the shadow shader works

but I think the way you described it shouldn't need to

[weak brook]

wish dps were active they'd probably figure out the problem here

[zealous glen]

dps?

[weak brook]

i mentioned them before

https://i.imgur.com/oioSZ5x.gif

they made this happen with the same kinda code im attempting to use

only difference here is that only one layer moves, and it uses rotation instead of movement on the x axis

oh shit i think i figured it out

[ionic verge]

how do you code in a '1 In 2' chance for something?
like how hallucination works

[weak brook]

if pseudorandom('insertanysubseedhere') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / 2 then

[ionic verge]

i see

and it just works i presume?

[weak brook]

yeah

[ionic verge]

cool

[weak brook]

https://i.imgur.com/0MC7MKZ.png

lets fucking gooo

need to adjust the canvas so that it doesnt cut off the layers if i try to offset them more than this

but it works!

[zealous glen]

I'm a bit curious to see the final code but I think by now I should know how to offset a layer

[weak brook]

the issue that i encountered was just uh

i had accidentlaly set the scale factor to 0 when initialzing them lol

[zealous glen]

gone, reduced to pixel

[ionic verge]

where would i look to see where to make tarot cards in the SMODS documentation?

[zealous glen]

SMODS.Center?

Maybe SMODS.Consumeable

[ionic verge]

sorry, dont mean new tarot cards, if that needed to be clarified

i meant have a joker make a tarot

[zealous glen]

ah

just look at vanilla code

[ionic verge]

which file would i look for

card.lua?

[zealous glen]

probably

[ionic verge]

whats with all the nil variables in create_card anyways

[weak brook]

ah fuck
now this soliatare effect thing is happening when i disable the effect

[stray warren]

They are different options that some cards may use. Most of them are optional, so nil is put when it is not needed

[weak brook]

how the fuck am i supposed to deal with this

[ionic verge]

mhm

does this just mean tarot or planet in the context of create_card

[tall wharf]

WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN WHAT

[ionic verge]

...looks like it

[tall wharf]

is it supposed to be tilted a bit every time you use it

[weak brook]

no its a vhs tape

and its being slid out of its case

i havent implemented it to smoothly do the animation yet

and it also is very limited in how far it can move out

also i fixed the soliataire effect i just had to add a "love.graphics.clear(1,1,1,0)"

[random sleet]

lets goooo ive been meaning to try something like that effect myself

[tall wharf]

ok how do i actually make custom custom info queue

[weak brook]

very simple lemme show ya

[random sleet]

(the gameplay effect not the visual)

[tall wharf]

(the text box)

[weak brook]

you add a thing to the Other section in localization

and then you do this in loc_vars

[random sleet]

(i was clarifying my statement not trying to interject in yours aikoyori sorgy)

[weak brook]

this is how we in cardsauce add credits to every joker

very handy

https://i.imgur.com/adLI6eg.png

like this

[tall wharf]

my current art is super basic

[random sleet]

my current art is either by lyman, myself, or doesnt exist so

but maybe i still should get off my ass and put artist credit anyway

[tall wharf]

i know i sent this 5 million times already but I'm proud even without the art

[zealous glen]

Betmma has implemented activated items

I tried reading the code but I couldn't make sense of it

[weak brook]

your concept for this is really cool

love it

[random sleet]

you should make the letters score based on their scrabble score

[tall wharf]

that was what i was gonna do

but instead it gains mult

to make up for the loss of suit stuff maybe

[random sleet]

strong flat power but falls off later

[zealous glen]

I have a Credits box but it looks different

[weak brook]

whats your approach

[zealous glen]

also this is really cool

[tall wharf]

i will need custom boss blind

all vowels are debuffed

troll

[random sleet]

words with less than two vowels will not score

[tall wharf]

hands without X will not score

finisher blind

[weak brook]

funny how Gappie was on both our examples

[zealous glen]

I took a long time because I was looking for that screenshot

because I haven't ported that one yet

[random sleet]

i think the trick is limiting the blind to not appear when you dont have the letter deck mechanic ?

gappie the goat

[ionic verge]

is there documentation on create_card

how do i make a joker make the fool card

[zealous glen]

-# also hi @random sleet how have you been

[zealous glen]

you pass the key as one of the arguments

[tall wharf]

i think the letter effect should be available in the shop as both joker and voucher

[weak brook]

hey also

[ionic verge]

the key of the fool or the key of my joker?

or both

[tall wharf]

or if you have a joker that interacts with alphabets

[zealous glen]

Yeah but like Stone Joker it doesn't need to show up if you don't have it

[ionic verge]

currently got this

[zealous glen]

the key of the fool

[weak brook]

can the ease_value function do the thing i wanna do with the sliding out effect? like if i give that function a number variable and a new value will it gradually transition to that number over a set time

[wicked leaf]

I guess we're doin scrabble now

[weak brook]

or do i have to make the code for that myself

[tall wharf]

true

[zealous glen]

maybe? but it shouldn't be hard to do it manually

[ionic verge]

is there anything wrong with this?

[zealous glen]

the key

also maybe the position

[weak brook]

how would you do it? cause this is the function i'm using to toggle, its not in the update function so im not sure how to handle timing with this

[olive temple]

Is there a general guide for diagnosing crashes? I'm using many mods together, which often causes crashes, and I'd like to be able to figure out which mod (or interaction between multiple mods) is causing the crash, but I can't really make heads or tails of the Steammodded crash logs. The one I'm looking at now, for example, mentions Code Cards from Cryptid and Speen from Cardsauce, even though I did not use either at any point during the run.

[ionic verge]

ok whats the position

[random sleet]

terrible

[zealous glen]

something like local original_time = G.TIMERS.REAL and then something like local elapsed_time = (G.TIMERS.REAL - original_time)/total_time

[tall wharf]

help it's 7am i can't sleep no more

[zealous glen]

Sorry to hear that! Still, I'm glad to see you again :)

[weak brook]

and put it in like a loop?

[zealous glen]

not the original time

[random sleet]

i msorry

[weak brook]

yeah that makes sense

[zealous glen]

also not in a loop but just inside the draw

[weak brook]

oh yeah

[zealous glen]

What for? You haven't done anything you need to apologize for

[weak brook]

well actually

the toggle here isnt happening in the draw function

its being triggered by the use button

[zealous glen]

yeah but the movement would be done at draw level

How could I fix the voucher redeem animations?
Here's the code:

calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.selling_self then
            local deletable_cards = {}
            card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = 'Headshot!'})
            for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
                if v:is_face() then deletable_cards[#deletable_cards + 1] = v end
            end
            for i = 1, #deletable_cards do
                deletable_cards[i]:remove()
            end

            local voucherNum = 5
            while voucherNum > 0 do
                for i = 1, #base_vouchers do
                    if math.random(0, 1) == 1 then
                        if voucherNum > 0 and G.GAME.used_vouchers[base_vouchers[i]] == nil then
                            voucherNum = voucherNum - 1
                            redeem_voucher(base_vouchers[i])
                        elseif voucherNum > 0 and G.GAME.used_vouchers[advanced_vouchers[i]] == nil then
                            voucherNum = voucherNum - 1
                            redeem_voucher(advanced_vouchers[i])   
                        else 
                            break
                        end
                    end
                end
            end  
        end
    end

function redeem_voucher(pvoucher)
    local voucher
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'before',
        delay = 0.1,
        func = function()
            voucher = create_card('Voucher', nil ,false, nil, false, nil, pvoucher, nil)
            voucher.cost = 0
            voucher:redeem()
            return true
        end
    }))
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'after',
        delay = 0.6,
        func = function()
            voucher:start_dissolve(nil, false, 10, true)
            return true
        end
    }))

Is there a Lua specific editor that would help with UI configuration?
AKA a way to view the layout of Nodes and check for bugs?
Used to SQL code and have been just using Notepad ++ for stuff but having to launch the game to see the layout is a pain.

[zealous glen]

idk check out Betmma's

[ionic verge]

what do i need to change for this to make a fool card without crashing the game

[zealous glen]

@shell tangle did you mention something like that to me or

[zealous glen]

also maybe DebugPlus could help

[ionic verge]

please i am desperate

[weak brook]

idk my brain is kinda slow with visualizing are there any examples of functions in vanilla or in mods that work like this that you could point me to

think it would help to get a bigger picture of what you're trying to explain to me. sorry im so dumb

[zealous glen]

this is how the Fool does it

[zealous glen]

well, when a soul sprite grows or rotates, it's done at draw level

there are some inputs that come from the game

like mouse position or card state

like when you hold a card

[shell tangle]

Not that I know of, since Balatro creates it's own UI code, the only thing I can recommend is this button mod I threw together for quicker restarts.

[nocturne estuary]

thanks

[ionic verge]

ok
i dont know how to interprete the create_card function

[zealous glen]

well what card does the Fool create

[ionic verge]

i need to create the fool

not it create something

[zealous glen]

Not what I asked

[ionic verge]

...

ok

[zealous glen]

The Fool creates a specific card

[ionic verge]

put 'The Fool' where the last nil is right?

[zealous glen]

No

Because the Fool is passing the card it wants to create to create_card

G.GAME.last_tarot_planet

so you replace that with the Fool's key

[ionic verge]

that is what i meant

[zealous glen]

the last argument is a seed so probably change it to something else

[ionic verge]

i meant the last nil here

[zealous glen]

to avoid side-effects

[ionic verge]

can it be nil?

[zealous glen]

sure but "The Fool" is a name not a key

[zealous glen]

idk

[ionic verge]

fool?

[zealous glen]

no

[ionic verge]

'fool'? i mean?

[zealous glen]

c_fool

[ionic verge]

got it

[jade crescent]

Thanks
One more question
I have seen text for menus done 2 ways one in the Lua file and 2 in the localization file
IS localization the preferred route?

[ionic verge]

what needs to be changed here now?

[zealous glen]

Maybe the first argument needs to be the set

So Tarot

[cedar stream]

can i have some context so i can try and help

[zealous glen]

context.joker_main

[ionic verge]

im making the fool from a joker

[cedar stream]

oh so have a joker create a fool

[ionic verge]

yes

[cedar stream]

when are you having it happen

[ionic verge]

end of store

this is the perky joker

common perkeo

[cedar stream]

i have a joker that does something similar

[ionic verge]

ive got the context down

[shell tangle]

Localization will let people easily translate your mod, I personally prefer to just go with text strings first while constructing the UI how I want it, and afterwards, I'd go back and change all the stuff to a localized format. You might be able to use dump_loc for it actually, I don't remember how it works in full, though.

[ionic verge]

is that what those arguments mean?

i would have loved to have known that an hour ago

[cedar stream]

thats what makes it

[ionic verge]

the _type: area: legendary: etc

are those what the arguments mean

[cedar stream]

not sure what those mean, but if you dont want to brute force to figure out if it works i could do that part

[ionic verge]

please

i thought this joker was going to take 30 minutes tops

and it feels like it should have

[zealous glen]

how do you make vscode know the functions exist

I have Balatro in the project and it still has no idea

[cedar stream]

are you in the cryptid discord server

[zealous glen]

no

[cedar stream]

https://discord.gg/unbalanced

there are very few times im not in a vc here

and even when im not in a vc i am more than likly not doing anything so im avaliable

[ionic verge]

should i just copy this up here?

[cedar stream]

yea thats what i did, the code that creates it was actually sourced from morefluff's joker called "bad legal defense"

[ionic verge]

mhm

[gilded narwhal]

^

[cedar stream]

but my mod was only a test mod so not on github, and its super buggy

[cedar stream]

is there any additional context you could provide so i could help better

[gilded narwhal]

I'm trying to add a deck page to the run-info and the main thing that's slowing me down is I don't know how to put in the sprite of your deck

[cedar stream]

cuz i can provide more help there

[zealous glen]

maybe another time

I'm going to sleep

[cedar stream]

ok

[gilded narwhal]

I've tried to just make an amalgamation of existing code which didn't work 😭

[weak brook]

lets go baybee

@zealous glen you want the code?

[cedar stream]

but as for this, from how im understanding this, i just kinda brute forced it, aka made it so it doesnt display problems in the code

[gilded narwhal]

I want the deck to go like right here

[zealous glen]

Yes! (also maybe @random sleet would be interested)

[ionic verge]

i want Exact and Precise information on how this code should be changed to correctly have a custom joker spawn the fool into my consumables without it crashing or breaking

[zealous glen]

did you emplace

[ionic verge]

what. does. that. mean.

[dreamy thunder]

So it actually spawns it

[zealous glen]

example

[ionic verge]

thank you.

[zealous glen]

creating already spawns it, but emplace puts it in the correct place

[dreamy thunder]

I mean its useless without it

[weak brook]

here it is, it's this file and also this lovely patch for intercepting the use button so it doesnt get destroyed

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/button_callbacks.lua"
pattern = '''
e.config.button = nil
local card = e.config.ref_table
'''
position = "at"
payload = '''
local card = e.config.ref_table
if card.config.center.activation then
    G.FUNCS.tape_activate(card)
    return
end
e.config.button = nil
'''
match_indent = true

[zealous glen]

I remember some weird behaviour where I spawned inert, floating Jokers

[dreamy thunder]

Its fun to mess arround with

[zealous glen]

why doesn't draw use draw_shader but instead the love draw function?

[weak brook]

beats me 🤷‍♀️

[zealous glen]

you need to manually check the consumeble area isn't full

but also

the number of cards in the consumeable area isn't the number of cards in the consumeable area

because effects can try to create cards before other effects that create cards

hence the buffer keeps track of the actual number of cards that're supposed to be there

[ionic verge]

just tell me what i need to add to the if statement

or

i can probably find that myself

[zealous glen]

yeah anywhere with consumeable_buffer

it's usually the number of consumeables + (consumeable_buffer or 0)

something like that

[ionic verge]

i copied pasted this

what do i need to change this to what the actual chance is (for example to account for sixes)

[gilded narwhal]

YES YESY EYS EV sorry that took so long to do

[ionic verge]

(this is the description)

if anyone has an answer, ping me, im getting food

[elder vapor]

#1# in #2#

[pure quail]

is there a way to round down, it offsets the entire screen and gets a lil annoying

[elder vapor]

and have loc_vars return G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1, card.ability.extra.odds (or whatever your variable is for odds)

[sand oasis]

agreed with Halo

[gilded narwhal]

Okay how do I make it go away when I select something else 😭

?????

[sand oasis]

WHOA lmao

[random sleet]

im pretty sure that you can use SMODS functionality of keep_on_use in the Consumable

then just set the use function of the consumable to toggle whether it'll apply its effect

also you can just set functions in a table

jimbobread_man = {
        config = {
            extra = {
                hands = 1
            }
        },
        pos = { x = 2, y = 1 },
        rarity = 2,
        loc_vars = function(_c) return {vars = { _c.config.extra.hands }} end,
        keep_on_use = function() return true end,
        use = function(_, self, area, copier)...end,
        can_use = function(_, self) return G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND end,
    },```

yeah good code block

[gilded narwhal]

Here's the code btw if someone could help out

[pure quail]

I put the name and stuff is there another file i have to register my deck in or sum

[elder vapor]

what does your localization file look like?

[sand oasis]

anyone know how I can find a joker through an iterative process and destroy it? i haven't been able to find something exactly like this anywhere and it's hard to translate Ceremonial Dagger and Madness' abilities into finding and matching up to a specific joker

[frosty dock]

the SMODS.find_card in question:

[sand oasis]

I did see that but I'm not sure exactly how to use it

[frosty dock]

anyways you're comparing a card object to a string

for _,v in ipairs(SMODS.find_card('j_sp_thief')) do
  v:start_dissolve()
end

for your approach you'd have to check G.jokers.cards[i].config.center_key == 'j_sp_thief'

[sand oasis]

in terms of NOW it's searching the jokers for their key

[frosty dock]

instead of comparing the joker itself to a string

[sand oasis]

yeah

[sand oasis]

Another quick question, could you explain the syntax of this just real quick? I see this a ton and recognize it's another iterative statement but its exact meaning eludes me

[frosty dock]

ipairs simply looks for key-value pairs in the consecutive array portion of a table, i.e. numeric keys starting from 1 up to whenever a value is nil. So if you have a table like t = {'a', 'b', 'c' } and iterate over it with for k,v in ipairs(t) do ... end, on the first iteration you have k=1, v='a', then k=2, v='b' and lastly k=3, v='c'

pairs does the same for all key-value pairs in the table and doesn't guarantee any specific ordering

so if you set t.num = 10and iterste with for k,v in pairs(t) do ... end, at some point in the loop you'll get k='num', v=10 as well as the previously mentioned pairs, but not necessarily in that order

[sand oasis]

Thank you so much for explaining it to me!

[pure quail]

i have to be stupid help me

why isn't it recognizing

[sick sparrow]

ah yes, the metamethod of preventing change from editions

[gilded narwhal]

bump

[long sun]

hi, really weird bug, what's causing it? ^^

code:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.setting_blind and not (context.blueprint_card or self).getting_sliced and #G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then
      G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1
      G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
              local chosen_card = 'c_devil'
              local chosen_message = '+1 Devil'
              if pseudorandom('goldenfiddle', 1, 2) == 1 then
                chosen_card = 'c_chariot'
                chosen_message = '+1 Chariot'
              end
              local new_card = create_card("Tarot", G.consumables, nil, nil, nil, nil, chosen_card, 'goldenfiddle')
              new_card:add_to_deck()
              G.consumeables:emplace(new_card)
              G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
              new_card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
              card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = chosen_message, colour = G.C.PURPLE})
          return true
        end
      }))
    end```

(the bug is that the +1 Devil text appeared on the top-left)

(also, all of the cards triggered at the same time, which i don't want)

[elder vapor]

context.blueprint_card or self should be context.blueprint_card or card iirc

[long sun]

trying that now :D

okay, that worked!

though, is it possible for them to trigger at different times?

like, one after the other?

[elder vapor]

yeah, just add a delay inside your Event

delay = 0.5 should do the trick

above func

[long sun]

trying that too

that didn't work

[elder vapor]

did they all activate at the same time?

[long sun]

well, the texts appeared sequentially, but that was the case before the delay was added

[ionic verge]

i cant help but feel this is going a little slow, anyone have any input on that?

[long sun]

the cards were generated at the same time

[ionic verge]

(its on game speed 4)

[open dragon]

download the more speed mod

[long sun]

compared to Ramen, ya it seems a tad slow

[elder vapor]

looks normal to me

[ionic verge]

ok its normal

just makin sure

[long sun]

i'm fine with it though :D

[open dragon]

oh my bad lol. didnt realize what channel i was in

[ionic verge]

oooh

[open dragon]

it looks about right for speed 4

[elder vapor]

oh ramen has delay = 0.2, in its return table

[ionic verge]

oh so i can decrease that?

[elder vapor]

so does yorick

[long sun]

okay so, comparing Cartomancer with my joker, multiple Cartomancers create the cards in sequence, but my jokers create them all at the same time

which i don't quite get

[open dragon]

so a delay less than 1 will make it go faster? good to know

[elder vapor]

yeah

[ionic verge]

thanks yall!

[elder vapor]

is the default 1?

if so then setting it lower will speed it up

[ionic verge]

presumably, but-

fuck i forgot a comma

[ionic verge]

-who knows

[elder vapor]

cartomancer has an event inside an event

[long sun]

oh i saw that, but removed it =w=

which do i add the delay to?

[elder vapor]

try putting the card creation inside another event

none prob

[long sun]

👍

[elder vapor]

if you want it to animate like its cartomancer then you don't need to change the variables

[long sun]

hm, now it's broken again. code:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.setting_blind and not (context.blueprint_card or self).getting_sliced and #G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then
      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 chosen_card = 'c_devil'
              local chosen_message = '+1 Devil'
              if pseudorandom('goldenfiddle', 1, 2) == 1 then
                chosen_card = 'c_chariot'
                chosen_message = '+1 Chariot'
              end
              local new_card = create_card("Tarot", G.consumables, nil, nil, nil, nil, chosen_card, 'goldenfiddle')
              new_card:add_to_deck()
              G.consumeables:emplace(new_card)
              G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
              new_card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
              return true
            end}))
              card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = chosen_message, colour = G.C.PURPLE})
          return true
        end
      }))
    end
  end```

[elder vapor]

move local chosen_message = '+1 Devil' to be above the second event

[cedar stream]

any idea what is causing this

[long sun]

good point!

[elder vapor]

since its a local variable and its created inside of the second event, its only accessable there

[long sun]

bingo, that worked!! tysm :D

[elder vapor]

is this your joker or apart of a mod you downloaded

[valid trench]

I'm a little confused on why this doesn't work, isn't the function being loaded getting the same variables the calculate function it's part of passed into it, why is it not understanding what context is

[cedar stream]

more fluff, however on any mod that has an xmult or xchips, it does that

its only visual but i have had a crash from it before

[elder vapor]

either its not better calc compatable or its not programmed correctly

[cedar stream]

wdym "not better calc" compatable

[elder vapor]

its apart of the recent steamodded changes to make joker calculation (and other stuff) more streamlined

only matters for mod developers

[cedar stream]

ik what better calc is

[elder vapor]

some of the changes made break mods

[cedar stream]

just not understanding what you mean by not compatable

and is there no known reason why it happens

[elder vapor]

from what i can tell that joker is missing some context checks

[cedar stream]

any idea on what checks would matter on when it triggers based on game state?

[elder vapor]

checking if a hand was actually played 😭

[cedar stream]

so in the new calc we need to add a check for that, otherwise it triggers on every gamstate update/change

[elder vapor]

in general

that looks like the return message for context.joker_main

[misty cape]

Hey guys, new here! I just made a mod with my own card skin for High Contrast Cards and I was wondering if I could also change the color of text for each suit in the ui to match. I want the Hearts text on jokers and in menus to be pink rather than red and same for other suits. I'm very unfamiliar with coding but am willing to learn a little but need a bit of a point in the right direction! Using steamodded and lovely. any help is welcome, thanks 😄

[ionic verge]

how do you add this little side window thing?

for context, like a card mentioning a specific other card, i dont need it for the actual sticker presumably

[cerulean rose]

add to the info_queue table passed to loc_vars

[cerulean rose]

yup! just set G.C.[whatever]

[ionic verge]

and would i just then put text in that like i normally do with the description?

also, second question, whats the code thing for making description text smaller?

[cerulean rose]

no, pass in the center of the object you want to appear

[cerulean rose]

{s:0.8}

[ionic verge]

so c_fool

[cerulean rose]

yup

[ionic verge]

thx!

[cerulean rose]

well actually G.P_CENTERS.c_fool

[ionic verge]

got it

thanks

[long sun]

had a joker idea similar to the Golden Fiddle: Reverie

Create a copy of The Heirophant or Temperance when Blind is selected (Must have room)

these cards chosen because they're the most peaceful

[cerulean rose]

big dolar

[ionic verge]

this right?

[cerulean rose]

no

add to the table

[long sun]

twas part of the intent! heirophant is the power card of the two

Golden Fiddle spawns Tower as its power card, and Devil as its money card

[cerulean rose]

info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.c_fool
alternatively, table.insert(info_queue, G.P_CENTERS.c_fool)

[ionic verge]

this then?

[cerulean rose]

not a return

[ionic verge]

ok

it works

thanks!

[ionic verge]

how do i set this up so it actually responds to changes in chance (i.e. from oops all sixes)

[elder vapor]

did i not tell you earlier

[ionic verge]

yeah but it just says nil in nil chance

oh i didnt see the second part

[elder vapor]

did you not setup loc_vars

[ionic verge]

yeah i didnt

mb mb

i didnt see it

[long sun]

i think this should be Uncommon, the Fool is one of the top 3 Tarots

[ionic verge]

i think its fine tbh

between the 1/2 and having to be at the shop i think its good

also consider hallucination is also 1/2 and gets more opportunities to trigger and is common

[long sun]

ya but it randomly selects its Tarots

so you can get eg. The World

[ionic verge]

yeah

[long sun]

which 99% you sell

[ionic verge]

sell the world?

really?

at worst thats a 75% chance

(considering youve started building up one of the other suits)

and then theres also blackboard, which helps it

[long sun]

well, sometimes suit fixing can be good, but in my experience i go with Deaths, Strengths and Fools to build my deck

you sometimes want to hang onto a suit fixing tarot if you get in a bind

but, compared to the others, i think they're pretty weak ^^

[ionic verge]

do i have to assign that to a variable?

(back to discussing the world) to me its more like 'no reason not to use it'

expecially bc youre getting it from a pack theres a non zero chance you can use it right away

[misty cape]

so lookin gthrough the steamodded wiki, would i be starting off with the suits section? and then adding that in? im sorry again, a lot of this is confusing coming into it lol

the only thing in my lua currently is what i copied from a template to make your own card textures

im even confused about how im supposed to go about structuring everything tbh lol. ill gladly check out any other resources for learning if there are better options

[cerulean rose]

no
thats for adding new suits, not for reskinning existing suits

[runic pecan]

Is the "prevented from shattering" doable?

remove "played" since it doesn't really matter if they're played or not

[cerulean rose]

wdym by prevented from shattering

[runic pecan]

I remember there's a joker that stops glass card from getting destroyed.
I'm asking this in case it's a false memory.

[cerulean rose]

but probably hook the glass shattering code

[runic pecan]

I... haven't learned the hook part of lua. Or of any language, maybe.

[cerulean rose]

patch would probably be required actually

[runic pecan]

What I originally planned to do is prevent the shatter unconditionally and run a separate 1 in 4 chance to handle the upgrade.

[cerulean rose]

i mean youd have to patch there anyway to prevent the shatter

also doing a second 1 in 4 would make it technically not seed accurate

[runic pecan]

So where can I learn/ look up the how-to about making a patch?

[cerulean rose]

you can look at steammodded itself for how to format lovely patches

and search the source code to find where to patch

do you know how to do this^

[runic pecan]

First part not tried yet so probably no,
second part confidently yes.

[runic pecan]

smod-main/lovely/ those toml file?

[cerulean rose]

yup

[ionic verge]

i never got a complete answer, how do i set this up right?

[cerulean rose]

loc_vars should return a numerically indexed table

the numbers correspond to the numbers in the description

[ionic verge]

mhm

oooooh

[runic pecan]

Change it to {G.GAME.probability, card.ability.extra.odds}
where the card.ability.extra.odds is the denominator of your desired chance

[ionic verge]

and set up odds in config right?

[runic pecan]

yup

[ionic verge]

cool

lol i havent had to set up config yet for this joker

[runic pecan]

config = { extra = { odds = [your number] } }
in case you haven't look it up somewhere else

[pulsar flower]

i'm trying to make a custom blind that applies an effect when a card scores, is there something in steamodded that handles something like this

[ionic verge]

game crashed upon looking at description

wait

[pulsar flower]

self probably

[ionic verge]

mmm

better?

[runic pecan]

Usually I use "loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)"
Either card.ability -> center.ability
or ,center) -> ,card)

[ionic verge]

besides the card to self change, no code change

i see

[pulsar flower]

i fear i may have been wrong

[ionic verge]

ok that worked

thanks

or

[cerulean rose]

definitely don't do the first one

don't call a card object center

[runic pecan]

For the readability, I agree on that.

[ionic verge]

now it crashed upon looking at an in play version of it (that had a sixes tied to it)

im trying changing back to self but

no dice

[sturdy compass]

Here's an odd bug I'm running into. The first joker isn't being "retriggered" per say but I suppose it's technically being triggered multiple times? Any ideas for how I could fix this?

[runic pecan]

repetition should be card.ability.extra.retriggers, not 0.

[sturdy compass]

I'm not trying to create more retriggers though, hence why it is zero

I'm trying to track them

[cedar stream]

is it not retriggering

cuz it is supposed to retrigger the playing cards right?

[sturdy compass]

There are no retriggers in the video, however the card still detects them

That's the issue

[cedar stream]

is it supposed to

[pulsar flower]

i guess the game considers that effect as a retrigger

[runic pecan]

So you dont want it to retrigger when repetition is set to 0.

[cedar stream]

cuz i might know the problem if its supposed to retrigger the playing cards

[ionic verge]

game crash on viewing the joker while not in the collection

[sturdy compass]

I don't want it to retrigger at all . I'm simply trying to track the quantity of retriggers that happened during scoring, agnostic of source, prior to this Joker being scored

And for whatever reason, the other joker, despite not retriggering, is causing it to detect retriggers

[cedar stream]

its due to the context.other_card ~= card

as that is saying that the joker is not reading if a playing card is played

[sturdy compass]

It is not. Just removed it and the same stuff it happening

[ionic verge]

(any help?)

[cedar stream]

replace "or" with "then"
and then you make the line that has the cardarea into another if statment

[cedar stream]

when does the crash occur?

[ionic verge]

when viewing the joker's description

[cedar stream]

in the start screen or during a run

[ionic verge]

it was while in a round but it should happen during shop/whatnot too

[cedar stream]

what does it do

[ionic verge]

i believe it has to do with the odds in its description

[sturdy compass]

Still nope

[cedar stream]

im unsure then

[ionic verge]

also, works while in the collection

[cedar stream]

what is table.insert meant to do

[ionic verge]

add that

[pulsar flower]

add the fool description to the side of the main description

[ionic verge]

but thats for sure not the problem

[pulsar flower]

man 🐌

[ionic verge]

bc it worked before i added the odds stuff

[cedar stream]

well i cant see the full code

or what line that is at

[ionic verge]

...
yeah let me check the line rq

[cedar stream]

is cryptid enabled?

[ionic verge]

no

[cedar stream]

try enabling or adding it

[ionic verge]

not touching that beast till i get my collection complete

[ionic verge]

...why?

[cedar stream]

some weird crashes get fixed from adding it

[runic pecan]

Is [patches.pattern] just "Find and Replace" but more delicate?

[pulsar flower]

it doesn't necessarily replace

[runic pecan]

replace when "at", insert when "before" or "after"?

[pulsar flower]

it finds a piece of code and then allows you to put something before, after or at it(?)

i think so

[runic pecan]

That makes thing easier.

[pulsar flower]

its fairly simple

[cedar stream]

well nothing is being retriggered

[sturdy compass]

No kidding???

[runic pecan]

While we're at it, what is the difference between patch.pattern and patch.regex?

[sturdy compass]

regex will detect very specific parts as opposed to entire lines

[cedar stream]

well what is t he Xmult set to?

[sturdy compass]

Xmult gets set later on. Lemme send the whole calculate block

[ionic verge]

so nothing looks wrong with this bit of code, right?

and nothing with this either

[cedar stream]

not that i can see, why?

[ionic verge]

cus i believe thats the thing causing it

because the other part of vars works just fine

and card.ability.extra.odds should refer to the card's odds variable in config

[sturdy compass]

Aha I see it. Should be center.ability.extra.odds

[cedar stream]

yea that would do it

[ionic verge]

center is worse iirc

but ill try

[cedar stream]

center calls the config set in the cards code

[ionic verge]

upon viewing the joker's description while it was in my joker slots

note that this doesnt call for center, it calls for card

better pic

[sturdy compass]

well why is it doing that

[ionic verge]

because someone told me to do that

but ill change it too

crashes here

at the same point

sigh

its because it was a joker from a previous savestate

from before all the patching

[sturdy compass]

Always remember to ctrl + s lmfao

[gilded narwhal]

please somebody that knows what they're doing with ui stuff please i've been trying to make this work for so long

[ionic verge]

and it works with the fucking dice

fuck me

[runic pecan]

I just realize I might have to rewrite the whole card:shatter function...
'cuz I ftlog can't find the 1 in 4 part in card.lua

[gilded narwhal]

nevermind it was really dumb

forget it

[wind turtle]

2 in 2 🔥

[gilded narwhal]

i figured it out

[cerulean rose]

card:shatter is to do the shatter animation

and remove the card

[runic pecan]

Of all the card.lua file there are only four times card.shatter() has appeared.
One in function defining;
one in The Hangman;
one in Immolate;
and one in Familiar/Grim/Incantation.

[cerulean rose]

is probably somewhere else then

functions:state_events.lua:961

[runic pecan]

"if scoring_hand[i].ability.name == 'Glass Card' and
not scoring_hand[i].debuff and
pseudorandom('glass') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/scoring_hand[i].ability.extra then"
Wow, that's a long one.

[merry raven]

How do you create a custom set for Consumables?

[runic pecan]

So, I'm going to [[patch]] this part...

[cerulean rose]

yup

[cerulean rose]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.ObjectType#api-documentation-smodsconsumabletype

[merry raven]

Gotcha, thanks

[tall wharf]

improving mod performance by generating a list of wildcards can match words

[merry raven]

What's the prefix for Consumables? Joker has j, Enhancements has m, etc etc

[elder vapor]

c

[runic pecan]

pattern = "(?<indent>[\t ]*)if scoring_hand[i].ability.name == \'Glass Card\' and not scoring_hand[i].debuff and pseudorandom\(\'glass\'\) < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/scoring_hand[i].ability.extra then\n([\t ]+.*\n)*end"
Is this correct?

[ionic verge]

whats the way to check for a certain type of card played or discarded (in this case im looking for face cards)

[runic pecan]

I hope I'm doing this correctly.

[ionic verge]

how would i have a joker have a playing card generate money

this method doesnt seem to work

[faint yacht]

Is this in a calculate or calc_dollar_bonus?

[vivid oyster]

info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = {key = 'c_hermit', set = 'Tarot'}

what do I have to put in this line or any other in a joker to show the 20 dollars in the hermit info queue, it just shows as $nil atm

[ionic verge]

calculate

do i have to move it?

[faint yacht]

I just do this.

ease_dollars(card.ability.extra.money)
card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = '$'..card.ability.extra.money, colour = G.C.GOLD})

calc_dollar_bonus is money given at end of round i.e. Golden Joker or Cloud Nine.

[ionic verge]

i seeee

makes sense

so i can just replace the code in that else statement and not worry about it?

[faint yacht]

Comment it out first, then try the two lines I've given for what you are trying to do.

[ionic verge]

fair nuff

didnt work

didnt like the second line

[faint yacht]

You're using card.ability.extra.dollars.

I've given use with card.ability.extra.money. Replace with card.ability.extra.dollars.

[ionic verge]

mmmmm

makes sense

works

it works

upon testing of it being debuffed, the message doesnt appear, despite this code presumably working in the vanilla joker that i stole this from

the debuff still takes effect, just doesnt do the message

[nocturne garnet]

do you mean context.other_card

[ionic verge]

does it need the context too

[nocturne garnet]

well yeah

[ionic verge]

i swapped that out a couple times

[nocturne garnet]

unless you defined other_card already

[ionic verge]

it was self originally

but that also didnt work

[nocturne garnet]

and you replaced self with?

[ionic verge]

other_card

[nocturne garnet]

you should be replacing it with card

[ionic verge]

i tried that too

[nocturne garnet]

can you show me your calculate function actually

[runic pecan]

Is this the correct variable name?
I kinda forget where to look it up.

[nocturne garnet]

yeah you should be replacing self with card, not other_card

you havent defined other_card at all

so its just nothing

[ionic verge]

i tried setting it to card

other_card was my second idea

[nocturne garnet]

also

wait

does it still calculate the other_card with its debuffed anyways

[ionic verge]

example of my problem

the effect gets prevented from the debuff, but no debuff message plays

[ionic verge]

maybe not, but i was hoping itd at least play the 'debuffed' message to show that it would

[nocturne garnet]

nvm it seems that it still works if discarded

[nocturne garnet]

are you sure you shouldnt replace context.other_card with card here?

[ionic verge]

i did

and retried it, and the video was done with that code in effect

[nocturne garnet]

weird

[ionic verge]

a note, i stole that code block from reserved parking, and i presume it works just fine there

(yeah the message contents is different but surely thats not the problem)

[nocturne garnet]

holon gimme a minute

[nocturne garnet]

found it

since the card is debuffed

[ionic verge]

mhm?

[nocturne garnet]

card:is_face() wont work

just do :is_face(true)

instead of :is_face()

[ionic verge]

so add (true)?

and thats it?

[nocturne garnet]

basically just add a true yes

[ionic verge]

cool

it works!

thanks so much

[deep sage]

very silly question; would anyone happen to know off the top of their heads where the dialogue for jimbo (ie. when you lose / win a run) is stored in the files

[gilded narwhal]

All of the dialogue stuff is stored in localization

[crisp coral]

something with quip in en_us.lua

[forest hinge]

is it at all possible to get logging functionality from inside vanilla card.lua for the sake of debugging an attempted patch? I have some code which I thought should be pretty straightforward but it's not behaving how I expect

[deep sage]

thanks !!!! ^_^

[ionic verge]

that last part is the story of coding

[livid tapir]

not an answer, but that straightforward thing is so true
i think that for every one of my ideas but then get blasted in the face with issues

[ionic verge]

i thought a joker that made a fool card on shop end would be easy to implement

it took me 2.5 hours i think

[forest hinge]

yeah, I am used to things not going my way

just want to debug so I can see why! :)

[livid tapir]

me spending like 3 days on a single joker 😭:

[ionic verge]

it ended up being three lines i think

[livid tapir]

yknow i dont think my mod is gonna grow very fast due to this

lol

i do have a very funs idea (that will probably take me 50 years to code 2 lines of it)

[wintry brook]

I have a consumable type that I want to be more of a square shape but in game it squishes it to the normal card size. I see that Wee Joker is hard coded to be smaller, but is there a good way I can make every consumable of my type square?

[cerulean rose]

not really, but you should take a look at this pull request i made that could help

[livid tapir]

something fun about github is that you can just take the pull request version instead of normal if you so happen to want that before its merged

i learned that when i was today old

😭

[cerulean rose]

actually with this you could just add the file to your mod instead!

[livid tapir]

yeah that too

include some apis in your mod why wont ya

[wintry brook]

so this works as a lovely patch?

[cerulean rose]

you gotta do what you gotta do

i mean i've done this so much that i've at one point considered splitting the api parts into their own mod

[nocturne garnet]

i make your hard blinds harder 😈

[cerulean rose]

that doesnt even make sense

[forest hinge]

does something in SMODS override how spectral cards (specifically grim, incantation, familiar) work?

[nocturne garnet]

dude i dont know how to explain it

[forest hinge]

even if I literally remove all the card-adding code in card.lua for those cards, it still happens normally

[gilded narwhal]

Thoughts?

[forest hinge]

did you ever figure this out? I'm running into the same thing

[wintry brook]

is this not how i would use your patch?

[runic pecan]

I knew I've missed something with my parsing, damn it.

What expression should I change \'Glass Card\' into?

[thorny adder]

I love it

Its tainted samson right

[cerulean rose]

no

it's set within the center

in the center's definition you would include pixel_size = { w = 5 },

[gilded narwhal]

Oh nah it's just the same idea but for all the normal decks

[wintry brook]

perfect, thank you...!

[rocky heron]

my thoughts are yes please gimme this mod

[gaunt thistle]

it's been a while since I worked on the regex patch but are you sure you need to escape the single quotes?

I can't remember if that's a regex syntax token off of the top of my head

(also it's 400 where I am and I'm exhausted, so I might've missed somethning)

[runic pecan]

I already found I don't need to do that.
Apprenthesis, either.

Now it says

I assume it needs something like

[tall wharf]

uhhhhhh

i didn't mean to do this

[cerulean rose]

i added exodia to balatro

[runic pecan]

But what if you've already passed ante 8?

[cerulean rose]

nothing

[tall wharf]

how do i change the turquoise lmao

[gaunt thistle]

what's the full error?

[sick sparrow]

deck of invisible cards

[gaunt thistle]

the change you proposed isn't valid lovely patch syntax

that's just a comment

[cerulean rose]

deck of justice if we didn't have minecraft programmer art glass

[tall wharf]

😭

[sick sparrow]

that's double win

[sick sparrow]

the joker of blocks

[runic pecan]

I had to censor my username

[sick sparrow]

and jimbo hates that joker

looks wee different

[gaunt thistle]

you have a syntax error in the patch's toml

share the patch in question (all of it, not just the pattern)

[runic pecan]

am having dinner with parents
‘ll send it aprox 2hr later

[merry raven]

I want to create a specific custom Consumable but I'm not sure how the syntax should look like

card:add_to_deck()
G.consumeables:emplace(card)
G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0```

Does this look good? `raid_elements` is the key of my custom Consumable type, and `c_fm_voltaic_mote` is the custom Consumable I made to spawn

[sick sparrow]

tne joker of blocks and blocks

[tall wharf]

what have i done

[pliant hawk]

how can I install a modpack

[sick sparrow]

same, the shaders ruin a symboled stone card

[cerulean rose]

i'm trying to make a booster pack but there's green sparkles around the cards that won't go away

[cedar stream]

are they present in the sprite sheet on any layer

[pulsar flower]

i made a patch that triggers my custom boss blind for every scored card, but the context simply doesn't work. is there any reason for the passed context have all its elements be nil?

[frosty dock]

valley.calculate_blind_hand_played= function (self, context)

what you're calling context here is just the blind prototype

(also doesn't this fail/crash on literally any other blind that doesn't have this function?)

[pulsar flower]

oh shit it works, thanks john smods

[pulsar flower]

will nil check for it

[sick sparrow]

how to take ownership of high card?

[frosty dock]

SMODS.PokerHand:take_ownership('High Card', {...})

[sick sparrow]

does it require PREFIX if the card is in another mod?

except that another mod is same author as the mod calling create_card()

[dreamy thunder]

how to make custom rarities

i dont know how they work

[violet void]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Rarity

[sick sparrow]

SMODS.Rarity{
    key = "gerio_unobtainium",
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Unobtainium', -- used on rarity badge
    },
    pools = {}, -- you are not supposed to get this cards anyway
}

[dreamy thunder]

i did read the wiki but i cant get it to work

[violet void]

I suggest reading cryptid's code, it adds a few hand types

[dreamy thunder]

i tried that also

[violet void]

well, rip

[dreamy thunder]

but i never really went in that deep

well

time to waste a couple of hours then

[sick sparrow]

SMODS.Rarity{
    key = "gerio_unobtainium",
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Unobtainium', -- used on rarity badge
    },
    pools = {}, -- you are not supposed to get this cards anyway
}

[dreamy thunder]

i mean i do have the same thing

but thanks

[violet void]

hold on can you put

pools = {}

in any center?

[sick sparrow]

if you are not supposed to get from normal methods, pools are empty

[violet void]

try checking Pokermon

[dreamy thunder]

oh yeah

[violet void]

yes I mean I made a seal that cant be found in packs, can I add that?
