[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]

wait how did you set the jokers rarity?

i need to check something

[sick sparrow]

use rarity="<your custom rarity key>" (don't put numbers here)

[dreamy thunder]

no prefix or anything?

[sick sparrow]

at SMODS.Joker

[dreamy thunder]

no i know that

no prefix before rarity key?

[sick sparrow]

yes

[dreamy thunder]

oh well

i tried both

it worked

[frosty dock]

yes prefix before rarity key

[dreamy thunder]

bro istg i tried that a lot

and it decided to work

today

😭** **

[nocturne garnet]

yippee

[sick sparrow]

we do a little trolling

[dreamy thunder]

where can i find all of the color code

s

[random sleet]

light mode npp.....

[sand oasis]

there's also C.attention which is the plain orange highlight, and C:inactive which is the light gray text such as the bottom line of the Castle joker

oh believe me i just found that, i'm normal and use dark lmao

[dreamy thunder]

thanks

this feels better with the custom rarity

[wintry solar]

the colours for loc txt aren't those ones

[sand oasis]

oh good god

[wintry solar]

these are for loc txt

the others are for UI elements

[sand oasis]

ahhhh

ohhh

@tall wharf special for you #1270746376312979456 message

[tall wharf]

😭

[nocturne garnet]

holy guacomole

it should be uncommon btw...

if its when cavendish goes extinct

[merry raven]

I'm making a pair of opposite Consumables, and when one is used, the other is destroyed

for _, consumable in ipairs(G.consumeables.cards) do
            if consumable.config.key == "c_fm_voltaic_mote" then
                consumable:start_dissolve()
            end
        end

Unfortunately the other didn't get destroyed, is G.consumeables.cards the correct value to use for checking any existing consumables? Or maybe the config.key line doesn't have the right syntax?

[zealous glen]

I feel like it’s missing a center somewhere

[merry raven]

What will it do

[zealous glen]

It accesses the data for creating objects of its type

[wintry solar]

consumable.config.center.key

[merry raven]

Also I need edge cases that might tamper with Boss Blind-specific cards that has special mechanics required to progress the Blind

• Cannot be discarded
• Must return to hand after played
• Cannot be cloned by Death, DNA or Cryptid
• Cannot be destroyed by The Hanged Man, Incantation, Familiar or Immolate

[dreamy thunder]

no it comes from a special joker

1 in 1000

[nocturne garnet]

awwww

[dreamy thunder]

but i can change the color to uncommon

[tall wharf]

uhm

[dry merlin]

Does other_card work with an enhanced card? I'm trying to have a blueprint like effect with playing cards but it keeps crashing

[runic pecan]

Damn it Riv, it's [patches.regex] not [patch.regex].
Anyway my patch finally worked.

[sick sparrow]

how to add use button on joker?

[sick sparrow]

how to add use button on joker?

[violet void]

asking for opinions, is this an ok legendary?

-# considering there's the other one

Ill remove the first hand of round condition maybe

[tall wharf]

YES I MADE IT NOT RENDER FACE

[primal robin]

REOL

[tall wharf]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[sick sparrow]

but how to always render face on stone card?

[tall wharf]

you tell it to

search for logic n stuff and then patch it

also ngl putting face on stone card kinda defeats the purpose of them

[primal robin]

Each card have 3 parts: front, center, back. Front - it's rank and suit, Center - enhancement, Back - deck's back.
You choose which card part you need and change it

[tall wharf]

honestly

just make another enhancement

[sick sparrow]

my hyperstoneia turns stone card to having front

[tall wharf]

still

[dreamy thunder]

yeah this checks out

[tall wharf]

i made it so you can actually upgrade your cards

and not have it affect the deck

[sick sparrow]

how to add use button on joker?

[zealous glen]

Did you implement it yourself?

[tall wharf]

which part

[zealous glen]

The faceless part

[tall wharf]

some patching but yeah

[zealous glen]

I was gonna say you could’ve used the Steamodded features for Enhancements probably

Not necessarily as an Enhancement, but maybe as one

[tall wharf]

yeah but you wouldn't be able to upgrade the cards

[sick sparrow]

and i did the opposite

[zealous glen]

How so?

I don’t see why not

[tall wharf]

at least i didn't think it was possible

i did try tinkering a bit

[zealous glen]

Can’t you have like a Lucky Letter card?

[tall wharf]

https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/tree/feat/extra_cards

this was the alternate implementation i tried

didn't work very well

[zealous glen]

I can’t read right now

Aren’t letters separate from Enhancements?

[tall wharf]

yes

[zealous glen]

Then you could have the deck start with a Letter and an Enhancement

Then when applying another Enhancement it doesn’t override the letter

But it gives back the face

[tall wharf]

it won't override the letter

letters are separate from everything

[zealous glen]

I’m just giving an example where you can upgrade the cards

[tall wharf]

it's in its own thing

[zealous glen]

Since you said you couldn’t make it work

[tall wharf]

yeah but upgrading shouldn't give the face back

[zealous glen]

I disagree but ok

[tall wharf]

like

[zealous glen]

Then you probably do need a patch

[tall wharf]

i already patched a bunch

[zealous glen]

It’s fine. I was just thinking you didn’t need to

But if you don’t want faces to return

[sick sparrow]

how to add use button on joker?

[tall wharf]

yeah the current main branch uses that

i think it was too op with Dracula

or

vampire

I'm dumb

[zealous glen]

Maybe the face could be removed again

[mental kiln]

how do you spawn a specific card for debugging?

[zealous glen]

Debug mode

[tall wharf]

yeah but the deck has 100 cards

it's gonna give a bunch of xmult

[zealous glen]

Once

I mean it’s not like Midas Mask + Dracula where you can keep building up

[tall wharf]

anyway since i already made it not enhancement

[zealous glen]

Agreed

[sick sparrow]

rare joker front, vampired = still rare joker front

because it's not a enhancement

[tall wharf]

i just want it to feel a bit like base game where you can upgrade stuff and the fact stays the same

in this case the letter stays the same

[zealous glen]

I thought the letter stayed the same even if faces came back

[tall wharf]

it would

[sick sparrow]

how to add use button on joker?

[tall wharf]

actually try checking the vanilla method

[runic pecan]

🤔

[tall wharf]

i felt like i have had this problem a while ago

show code

[runic pecan]

Which part?

[frosty dock]

whatever this is

[frosty dock]

rarity needs to have your mod prefix

[tall wharf]

i wanted this to be possible

[runic pecan]

OK it worked

I also change the rarity code to this now:

[sick sparrow]

for some reason my mod's config dosen't seem to load

also the card change (like SMODS.Joker:take_ownership()) takes higher priority but in the hooked code lower priority takes precedence of execution (overwrites higher priority mod's values)

[frosty dock]

you don't need to have the prefix in the rarity definition

doesn't really matter though, steamodded recognizes that the prefix is already there and won't add it again

[sick sparrow]

it's like lowest priority mods having highest precedence of execution

[frosty dock]

lowest priority value gets run first

[sick sparrow]

and vice versa (highest priority mods having lowest precedence of execution)

[sick sparrow]

this is via hooking

[frosty dock]

doesn't really matter what you're doing

mods have their main files loaded and executed in order of lowest to highest priority value

[runic pecan]

Then why is it saying "ERROR"

[sick sparrow]

and they execute hooked functions and lower priority mod overwrite higher priority mod values

[frosty dock]

do you have a label for it in your loc files?

[runic pecan]

I put it in the main file (for now)

[frosty dock]

you need to either have a loc_txt or define the label in a localization file...?

if you don't give it text to display it'll ERROR

[long sun]

Introspection! :D

[bold sleet]

noice

[runic pecan]

Like this?

[tacit gyro]

do you guys think aseprite is good for making jokers?

[bold sleet]

Yes.

Aseprite is good for making pixelart.

Balatro uses pixelart for its well... art...

[frosty dock]

loc_txt = { name = 'Relic' }

we have docs a reason 🙄

[long sun]

i personally use GIMP, bur Aseprite looks fine :D

[sick sparrow]

some mod with lower priority

local hooke = Card.set_edition
function Card:set_edition(edition, immediate, silent, ...)
    if self.gerio_forced_edition then
        edition = tabledeepcopy(self.gerio_forced_edition)
        setmetatable(edition,{
            __newindex = function() end
        })
    end
    hooke(self, edition, immediate, silent, ...)
end
```cryptid with higher priority
```lua
local se = Card.set_edition
function Card:set_edition(edition, y, z, force)
    if not force then
        return se(self, (not self.no_forced_edition and G.GAME.modifiers.cry_force_edition) and { [G.GAME.modifiers.cry_force_edition] = true } or edition, y, z)
    end
    return se(self, edition, y, z)
end
```because the lower priority code takes later, it has advantage of overwriting higher priority mod's values
it's like fighting for lower priority so the value stays same

[zealous glen]

HoloLive mentioned

[runic pecan]

Ah crap, forgot about that...

[zealous glen]

I wanted to make some HoloLive Jokers

I have 0 v_v

[runic pecan]

#1326159666350395462

[tacit gyro]

Well I guess I should say if you want to make an atlas? Cause I'm not sure how big the canvas would need to be or does it not matter.

[tall wharf]

still love how these are like this

[bold sleet]

For atlases I just take the size of one card and make multiply that number by 10.

I can now fit like 100 cards in one atlas.

[tacit gyro]

In any case I'll just move to there since I actually have it and I was using a trial of pixelmator pro before.

[runic pecan]

Now it worked.

Would it look too close to Common?

[nocturne garnet]

theres just so many things wrong with the first thing

[runic pecan]

As I quote: "For Justice!"
(Hence why it's Glass Card build)

holy shit is that x3 mult

[long sun]

rabble distribution :D

[tall wharf]

i think it's +15

[nocturne garnet]

no i think its +15 mult

[crisp coral]

FUCK

[nocturne garnet]

1 in 6 chance to go extinct

[crisp coral]

spoiled again

[long sun]

isn't the Gros Michel extinct?

also that banana is a Cavendish

[nocturne garnet]

what if its a blue java banana....

[tall wharf]

it's actually gros michel guys it's only +15 mult

[nocturne garnet]

why are blueprints in your consumable slots

[sick sparrow]

that's called blueprinter

[crisp coral]

it's called a mino not a monomino

[tall wharf]

i was like i haven't eaten a banana in a while

[crisp coral]

you sound like -15 mult

[tall wharf]

me?

😭

oops I'm stupid should probably not ping reply

[crisp coral]

You.

[merry raven]

You broke the law

[sick sparrow]

those pieces look rainbow

[merry raven]

Anywho hi Myst I got a couple of questions

• Where in the source code is the Blind chip's texture rendered and where does it pull textures
• Also where in the source code is the Blind's chip dissolving animation located

I'm working on a custom blind that changes the Blind's icon as a mechanic

[runic pecan]

Last time I check, tetrominos has their "offical" color set

[sick sparrow]

and yes, it's a sega color set

guideline color set are different colors

[runic pecan]

Then why is your T blue instead of purple

[sick sparrow]

i used sega specifically

[tall wharf]

😭

[sick sparrow]

https://tetris.wiki/Sega_Rotation

[tall wharf]

ALSO pretty sure Tetris colours are copyrighted

[runic pecan]

wait, sega has a different set?

[tall wharf]

at least the official colours

trademarked

not the colours

the specific shape with specific colours

[zealous glen]

You can ping Myst for questions but anyways

[runic pecan]

I'm too used to Nintendo set

[zealous glen]

(or DM)

But the dissolve is the same as everything else

It’s a Shader

[merry raven]

I see

[long sun]

i'm not sure that matters, nintendo'll hardly go after you for using tetris pieces in a balatro mod :}

[merry raven]

What about the textures rendering and swapping textures

[zealous glen]

https://tenor.com/view/inquisition-monty-python-spanish-inquisition-walk-in-gif-17117394

[zealous glen]

What about them

[crisp coral]

hihi

• the blind texture is G.GAME.blind.children.animatedSprite and is set during set_blind i believe
• yeah its the 'dissolve' shader

[merry raven]

Making a custom blind that has a unique mechanic of changing it blind icon to a different design mid-blind

[zealous glen]

Is it just the icon or is there more

[crisp coral]

animatedsprite extends sprite so you can do set_sprite_pos and then reset

[zealous glen]

Because you could use L Corp’s Multiblind

[merry raven]

Basically you need to perform a specific action based on the colour of the Blind icon

[long sun]

hey, a little feedback on some joker text?

[zealous glen]

Wavedash us

[crisp coral]

me when im colorblind 😌
-# i am not colorblind

i'm making monominos auto-merge if there's 4 monominos here (cuz i didn't found how to add use button on joker)

[long sun]

Introspection (Uncommon): When Blind is selected, creates a Tarot card and changes type to Planets (Must have room)
after creating a Tarot:
Introspection (Uncommon): When Blind is selected, creates a Planet card and changes type to Tarots (Must have room)

[zealous glen]

I think Thunk uses these start of round texts inconsistently so I try to stick to just one

[crisp coral]

that sounds alright

[long sun]

mhm, i've read up on that

[crisp coral]

when blind is selected happens before when round starts

[long sun]

i'm gonna go with the more common wording that Burglar, eg., uses

[zealous glen]

I might consider a small change like “then swap”

[zealous glen]

Is it? It’s the same context

I don’t think there are different contexts

[long sun]

they aren't iirc

[zealous glen]

I remember reading the text and the code

[long sun]

one happens before the cards are dealt, the other happens after

[zealous glen]

And comparing it

[crisp coral]

well only Certificate uses When round begins

[long sun]

ya

and it creates its card after your hand is dealt

[merry raven]

So can I just directly use start_dissolve() on the blind icon?

[sick sparrow]

no?

[long sun]

but cards like Cartomancer create their Tarots while the hand is being dealt

[zealous glen]

I think so

[crisp coral]

start_dissolve is a card method

[zealous glen]

Still, I’d redo the wording

[long sun]

how so?

[zealous glen]

For effects that apply after a hand is drawn

[tall wharf]

why do i keep doing this

[nocturne garnet]

wee

[long sun]

okay but this isn't When round starts

it's When Blind is selected

and it'll trigger when Cartomancer would

[zealous glen]

I wasn’t talking about your effect

Just vanilla text

[long sun]

ah ya

[candid epoch]

hey guys, do think mod like this would be good? (i only got concept so far)

Red Potion - Add permanent +2 Multi to 3 selected cards
Blue Potion - Add permanent +12 Chips to 3 selected cards
Purple Potion - Add permanent +1 Multi and +6 Chips to 3 selected cards
Green Potion - Add a copy of selected card to hand
Yellow Potion - Gain 1$ for each potion used this run
Pink Potion - Add permanent x0.25 Multi to 2 selected cards
White Potion - Add Green Seal to one selected card
Black Potion - Destroy 1 card and gain 2$

/// Vouchers ///
Potion Merchant - Potion cards appear 2X more frequently in the shop
Potion Crafter - Create a Potion when Blind is selected

/// Jokers ///
Blue Vials (common) - +5 Chips per Potion used this run (Currently +0)
Red Vials(common) - +1 Mult per Potion used this run (Currently +0)
White Vials (uncommon) - Create a Potion when Blind is selected (Must have room)

/// Deck ///
PotionCraft Deck
Start the run with Potion Merchant and Potion Crafter vouchers.```

[long sun]

there is some inconsistency

like, with Riff-raff

[zealous glen]

@long sun I think for yours I’d just consider using “swap” instead of change, and see if you can make the “swap” text shorter

Hearthstone gets away without specifying what it swaps to, maybe that’s possible here

[crisp coral]

-# damn potioncraft deck but not potion craft themed

[zealous glen]

Maybe not

[long sun]

i plan to add Zodiac cards into the mix, so swap wouldn't work for the three types

because that implies two states

[zealous glen]

I mean Hearthstone has more than 3

[long sun]

(but i didn't say that, so)

[long sun]

ya but this isn't Hearthstone

[zealous glen]

ya

But you can opt to the template you want

And let the player play to find out

[dreamy thunder]

how do i add stuff to my custom booster packs pool?

[long sun]

Balatro has a template, actually.

[zealous glen]

An inconsistent one, and one I disagree with

But it does

[long sun]

no but it uses changes:
Earn $5 for each discarded [rank], rank changes every round

[candid epoch]

wdym by that

[long sun]

Each played card with [suit] gives X1.5 Mult when scored, suit changes at end of round

Earn $4 if poker hand is a [Poker Hand], poker hand changes at end of round

so

[zealous glen]

So

[crisp coral]

-# https://store.steampowered.com/app/1210320/Potion_Craft_Alchemist_Simulator/

[long sun]

well ya but this is consistent

[zealous glen]

But I’m not commenting on this specific wording

Just in general

[long sun]

it uses the word changes to denote changing the ability

[candid epoch]

-# its not an inspiration by it lmao

[zealous glen]

I gave an opinion

[long sun]

you did, ya, that's not a problem

[candid epoch]

well, i rename it to potion without the craft

[long sun]

i'm just explaining why i want to stick to the word changing

[candid epoch]

bro wtf-

GET OUT

[zealous glen]

@grand violet

[long sun]

beat me to it ^^

[zealous glen]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[zealous glen]

We’re just nodding at each other in a loop

Although I might use “change” myself if I stopped to write it while looking at the game

[long sun]

why swap instead, though?

i wanna be consistent with the game

[zealous glen]

At the moment, for two options, “swap” reads more natural

I also like it as it sounds less vague

[long sun]

i mean, they're synonyms

[zealous glen]

There are no true synonyms

[runic pecan]

Hmmm...
SMODS.Atlas document doesn't include Legendary cases I'm looking for...

[zealous glen]

Words carry different connotations

[zealous glen]

What do you mean

[runic pecan]

Like the effect vanilla has on Perkeo and other Leg. jokers

Combining a background and a secondary layer

Haven't found it in Cryptid code yet...

[zealous glen]

That’s an option for Centers

And it’s undocumented in the wiki

Though it has always been there

just pass the location of the soul on the atlas

[long sun]

ah lemme see if i can find an example

okay so, in the Googol Play Card's code, i found this:
soul_pos = { x = 10, y = 0, extra = { x = 4, y = 0 } },

so i think that answers your question

the x and y i think are the position of the floating image, and the second x and y pair is where its sprite is in the spritesheet

[zealous glen]

That sounds wrong

Or it has some modded functionality

The soul pos shouldn’t have an extra

Normally you just pass the position on the spritesheet

[long sun]

i'm presuming that means that extra is optional, and can be used to reposition it

[runic pecan]

So I guess like this:

[long sun]

looks good to me :D

though, i've never had to do that before, so =w=

[runic pecan]

Haven't drawn the sprite, so those lines of code has to stay as notes for a while...

[sturdy compass]

Sadly no

[merry raven]

@crisp coral
self.children.animatedSprite:set_sprite_pos({x = 0, y = 2})

Am I able to just do this to swap the sprites, currently it doesn't work because children is currently a nil value. I'm doing this in modify_hand since there are some mechanics that will change the blind's icon on certain conditions, rather than in set_blind where it just initializes and finishes

[crisp coral]

is it in a SMODS Blind object? because there you need to use G.GAME.blind over self

[merry raven]

Yeah

I'll try it out

[long sun]

okay, so i'm implementing Introspection, but the game's throwing an error on this line:
return { vars = { {'{C:tarot}Tarot', '{C:planet}Planet'}[card.ability.extra.chosen_type + 1], {'{C:planet}Planet', '{C:tarot}Tarot'}[card.ability.extra.chosen_type + 1] } }

this here

what'd i miss this time? :}

[merry raven]

Holy shit it worked

Couple more things, what's the method used to dissolve the Blind icon and spawn a Blind icon?
I want to dissolve the original blind icon, and then spawn in the new blind icon with an animation

[crisp coral]

check Blind:defeat

for all the dissolve shit

[merry raven]

Oh yeah I spotted that

God that's a lot of events just for dissolving

[crisp coral]

wrap the table like this ({'{C:tarot}Tarot', '{C:planet}Planet'})

[long sun]

ah gotcha, thanks :D

okay, small problem

[crisp coral]

yeah fun fact it doesnt work lol

you can probable make use of color vars here

[tall wharf]

i don't know how to properly use SMODS.process_loc_text

[long sun]

at least it works mechanically :D

[crisp coral]

process_loc_text is used to initialize localizations

[tall wharf]

ah

[crisp coral]

probably need to generate_ui

shrug

[long sun]

what do you mean by this?

err im too lazy to explain sorry lol

ya, i have that

the text is "When {C:attention}Blind{} is selected,", "creates a #1#{} card and", "changes type to #2#s{}", "{C:inactive}(Must have room){}"

also, someone suggested that the Persona 5 Joker should be called the Looking Cool, Joker so i think that is amazing and have changed its name :D

you dont get soul for free or anything 💀

so much variety

Guys, is there any way to check what kind of card is being sold in context.selling_card?

[long sun]

ooh i can answer that

two seconds

here's the code for selling Planets:
if context.selling_card and context.card.config.center.set == "Planet" then

tarots:
if context.selling_card and context.card.config.center.set == "Tarot" then

etc.

Im not getting the print

[wintry solar]

well context.after doesn't have a repetition_only flag

[long sun]

Blind Joker!! :D

[wintry solar]

oh hand on it says not

[violet void]

which would be false either way no?

[violet void]

yes

[candid epoch]

question, how can i color potion to green?
(and how to make currently +X active)

[wooden nexus]

I love that it's in braile

[long sun]

^^"

[wooden nexus]

shame that they can't see the attention to detail

[long sun]

i know that you can use {C:inactive} for the last bit

[violet void]

you mean {C:green} {} ?

[wintry solar]

what smods version?

[candid epoch]

ye that works ig

[violet void]

and {C:inactive} {}

[candid epoch]

will putting a variable inside work?

[violet void]

I removed it but it still doesnt enter

[wintry solar]

what smods version are you using?

[violet void]

oh you were asking me

old-calc

[wooden nexus]

Once you claim the planet for the first time, you'll be unlocking cards based around said planet card

[wintry solar]

thats why

context.after is only on jokers in old calc

[violet void]

oh I see, is new calc stable now?

[wintry solar]

its been stable since the day after it released

[violet void]

https://tenor.com/view/hmm-suspect-gif-22611582

[candid epoch]

oh #1# is what would be for joker variable?

[crisp coral]

two days i think

[wintry solar]

we fixed almost everything the day after

but now, it's very much stable

[violet void]

ill try it

[tall wharf]

i am about to pass out

if _c.is_null then
    full_UI_table.name = {}
    localize { key = "aiko_x_akyrs_null", set = "AikoyoriExtraBases", vars = {colours = {specific_vars.colour}}, nodes = full_UI_table.name }
    full_UI_table.name = full_UI_table.name[1]
    info_queue[#info_queue+1] = { key = "aiko_x_akyrs_null", set = "AikoyoriExtraBases", vars = {colours = {specific_vars.colour}}}
end
if _c.aikoyori_letters_stickers then
    info_queue[#info_queue+1] = { key = "letters", set = "AikoyoriExtraBases", vars = {text = _c.aikoyori_letters_stickers}}
end

what the fuck happened here

[candid epoch]

i have no idea if this would work

[long sun]

how are probabilities coloured?

ah, nevermind, i found it

[candid epoch]

greenie

[violet void]

in config you should put 0, or is it retroactive?

[candid epoch]

Red Vials(common) - +1 Mult per Potion used this run

[crisp coral]

rarity is so stupid

[candid epoch]

eh, debatable

[violet void]

you need a global variable for that I think, check fortune teller

[crisp coral]

how do i create_card that forces a specific rarity without knowing the weights or the rarity beforehand

[candid epoch]

i can check the orginal code?

[crisp coral]

oh not towards you sorry

[violet void]

only reading it is fine

[crisp coral]

tryna do this

card = SMODS.add_card({
    set = context.card.ability.set,
    rarity = context.card.config.center.rarity or nil,
    area = context.card.area,
    key_append = "lobc_rudolta",
})

[ionic verge]

{C:green}text{}

[candid epoch]

already been said

[long sun]

okay so i've settled on the ability:
+2 hand size, +2 discards, 1 in 2 cards are drawn face-down
but i have no idea how to implement the last bit

[ionic verge]

ok, mb

[candid epoch]

found this

wrong ss, mb

this

i really dunno how to continue

[violet void]

check set_consumeable_usage in misc_functions.lua

you should hook your own global variable

and increase it accordingly

[candid epoch]

where is misc.functions.lua?

[violet void]

functions folder

[candid epoch]

so i add that function to mine code?

[ionic verge]

how would i make a joker treat kings and queens the same rank?

i tried looking at pareidolia code and it doesnt really help

[violet void]

I tried something like that too, but there isnt a is_rank() function like is_face() sadly (there is get_id but its not the same thing)
You could make one but then you would have to make it compatible with vanilla jokers etc I dont think its doable

[ionic verge]

damn

[candid epoch]

i have no idea if whatever i am adding is right or wrong lmao

[violet void]

wait you arent adding it to the source code are you
ok it doesnt seem like it

[candid epoch]

nah, i am adding to my code
i know to not alter vanilla code

i only extract that
not alter

[violet void]

im not too familiar with hooks, I had some luck with gpt

after upgrading to new_calc my seal work but... nothing is scoring 😱

[candid epoch]

intresting

also, i am not confident changing anything else in here

[tall wharf]

something i guess

[candid epoch]

i am guessing this will be how it works

this is harder than i imagined, ngl

anyone has consumable templates tho?

[frosty dock]

not G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.potion == 0

that's (not G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.potion) == 0 and NOT not (G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.potion == 0)

[pulsar flower]

is it possible to "hook" calculate_joker with that method of getting the reference to the original function then redefining it? i want to modify the return value every time it's called

[frosty dock]

just save your modified value somewhere in your joker's config, you don't need to change the function for that

[candid epoch]

here the heck you see the brackets

[frosty dock]

there's no brackets

i'm just telling you what this does

[pulsar flower]

not a joker, i want to modify every calculate_joker xmult return value

[frosty dock]

that is, you're comparing a boolean to a number

[pulsar flower]

i managed to do it with eval_card, but can't wrap my head around calculate_joker since it's a Card function

[frosty dock]

you could hook out of this part of SMODS.calculate_individual_effect

(lovely patching smods files is still broken)

this would catch every xmult, similar to how exponentia from cryptid scales when any xmult is triggered

[pulsar flower]

hm, alright

[tall wharf]

i seem to struggle at dynamic info_queue

😭

[frosty dock]

can't do vars in tooltip names unfortunately, these don't get parsed by localize in the same way main text boxes do

[tall wharf]

alright

[candid epoch]

maybe i should do consumables first...

anyone got a template?

[hushed briar]

simple question but i'm kinda new to lua, how can i modify an object (i.e. a SMODS.Consumable) that i've already created?

[frosty dock]

when do you want to change it? also, globally or for one specific card?

[zealous glen]

My trick was to create a specific name then check for it and modify

[hushed briar]

well what i'm trying to do is change a spectral card's description based on a config value

[zealous glen]

Like modname_hey_change_me

[frosty dock]

I've added support for variables in names, it just can't work with the names of tooltip boxes 😬

[candid epoch]

why i cant find any consumable templates...

[zealous glen]

Why not?

[frosty dock]

you can have variables with loc_vars just like in joker descriptions

[frosty dock]

because localize doesn't parse it in the same way that it does for the name of a main description box, it just returns the plain string stored in the localization entry

[zealous glen]

Isn’t that a matter of changing how localize parses names?

I think the most annoying part would be making names into tables

[frosty dock]

more so about how tooltips are constructed outside of generate_card_ui using just string data

i guess i could fake-substitute the vars

[hushed briar]

loc_vars...? its there a documentation page on that

[frosty dock]

it's sort of covered in https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Center#all-centers

this page is getting split and reworked soon, gonna cover it more precisely when that happens

[hushed briar]

ah ok, thank you

[tall wharf]

😭

the description still does not appear

[livid tapir]

btw
is SMODS.Joker gonna be moved outside of Centers? And if not, will methods be put INSIDE a center's section (unless it works on any center or smth)

[frosty dock]

I'm thinking there should be separate pages for each subclass

each page would have its own methods that don't work on every center

[livid tapir]

yeah
i feel like that would be good

[tall wharf]

wrong location

[wintry solar]

I’ve almost convinced myself that general functions like loc vars should have an entire page just for them, like how there’ll be a calculate page soon

[frosty dock]

loc_vars could definitely use its own page

esp with the amount of features it now has

[ionic verge]

there wouldnt be a way to have a card have two card ids, would there? (not really serious)

[shell tangle]

Bumping this question one more time, I think I've narrowed it down to Game:draw(), but still unsure.

[ionic verge]

fairly unrelated and much more serious question, im trying to get it to detect kings and queens, but it keeps crashing upon evaluation, anyone have an idea whats wrong?

[shell tangle]

Scoring hand context doesn't contain an other_card, either do individual, or do something like joker_main or after/before and iterate through the cards in the scoring hand yourself.

Also, scoring hand is passed to several different contexts.

[tall wharf]

    local dsdsds = string.upper(_c.aikoyori_letters_stickers)
    if dsdsds == "#" then
        dsdsds = "Wild"
    end
    if G.GAME.letters_enabled then

        if G.GAME.letters_mult_enabled then 
            info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {type = 'descriptions', key = "letters"..dsdsds, set = "AikoyoriExtraBases", nodes = desc_nodes, vars = {colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT}}
            localize{type = 'descriptions', key = "letters"..dsdsds, set = "AikoyoriExtraBases", nodes = desc_nodes, vars = {colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT}}
        end

    end

what do i do

to put the mult inside the smaller box

[edgy reef]

Should generate_ui also be but there? It'll be easier to state it's use case when you go fully in-depth on how it works.

[candid epoch]

question, how to make new consumable set?

cuz game crashes when launching my game even if i just tried adding one consumable that does nothing

i just drop those here cuz i dunno what i done wrong

[frosty dock]

your loc_vars function doesn't have an end

[candid epoch]

bwah

still broken

oh wait nvm, i forgor the ","

nevermind once again, still broken
😭

i be going insane by the end of this

[frosty dock]

what do you use to edit your code?

[candid epoch]

notepad++

[frosty dock]

you should really install a lua extension

not having your editor point out syntax errors is quite terrible indeed

[candid epoch]

dunno how and dont wanna deal with that-

[minor magnet]

how do i make a custom order for my jokers in my collection without reshuffling around all of my code

?

[frosty dock]

you don't wanna deal with what-?

[candid epoch]

installing stuff onto notepad++

[frosty dock]

you really should use a lang extension when coding

or you'll keep running into syntax errors like this and overlook something dumb instead of just having it highlighted right away

[sturdy compass]

Gonna give this a bump. I’m trying to track the number or retriggers prior to the second joker hitting joker_main

[minor magnet]

try repetitions = card.ability.extra.retriggers

no wait

im stupid

[sturdy compass]

Lmao

[tall wharf]

if anyone is knowledgable in this regard please help me

[minor magnet]

try testing if the issue occurs with walkie talkie as well

or any joker of the sort

[sturdy compass]

It also happens with Scholar so I’d assume it does for walkie too

Here’s the full calculate block if that helps

[minor magnet]

mmmm it's a weird issue then, since scholar does not retrigger the cards nor trigger them again in any way

[sturdy compass]

I agree that it’s weird

[minor magnet]

does the issue also occur with jokers that do not interact with the cards?

[sturdy compass]

I’d have to test that. I currently don’t have access to my setup so I cannot test it right now unfortunately

[wintry solar]

yeah I think so. I think it'd help people with creating their first mod too if each different function they can add had it's own page explaining what it is and how it works

[nova finch]

almost got a page full

[humble gale]

is there a way that i can change the boss blind while im fighting it?

[flat ridge]

Im not sure where this would go, but modding seems more accurate than anything. I started working on an alternative language for the game, nothing useful, just more fun centered. It's probably been done before but here's my take on olden english Balatro:

[nocturne garnet]

Starteth yeth voyageth witheth 26eth Trowelseth andeth 26eth Cardiacseth ineth thyeth assetseth

[flat ridge]

Id like to prevent aneurisms

[finite sorrel]

Is there any way to run mod code using a separate thread or process to parallelize something?

[glass scaffold]

if there is, then almost no one knows of it yet.

[worthy stirrup]

When making custom deck art, should I work on 1x and size it up to 2x or should I start with 2x and downsize to 1x?

[zealous glen]

I think upscaling makes more sense

That way you don't lose details

[finite sorrel]

“Almost”??

[frosty dock]

running threads is definitely possible, but I don't think it's practical for a lot of use cases

[worthy stirrup]

I am thinking about making a skin for the DeckSkinsLite mod

[glass scaffold]

i'm just saying, there's a non-zero chance it's doable.

[frosty dock]

the game itself uses threads for certain things, i.e. save manager, sounds

[finite sorrel]

My goal is to run probability calculations so threading is less desirable because IO wait is almost nothing

But afaik there’s no native way do multi core in lua

[cerulean rose]

no

[ionic verge]

how would you re-enable a boss blind with a joker perchance?

(if it helps, this is the intended effect)

[dry merlin]

im trying to make an enhancement that works like Blueprint, but i cant get other_card to work i think? for now im just using the effect of walkie talkie, but every time i try to play it with something i get a attempt to index field 'other_card' [a nil value] crash, can anyone help?

SMODS.Enhancement  {
  key = 'e_chaos',
  config = { extra = { chips = 10, mult = 4 } },
  --no_rank = true,
  any_suit = true,
  always_scores = true,
  replace_base_card = true,
  loc_txt = {
    name = 'Chaos Card',
    text = {
      "{C:dark_edition}Copies ability of Card to the right{}",
            }
    },

  atlas = 'chaos',
   in_pool = function(self)
    return false
    end,
  --overrides_base_rank = true,

  pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
 
  calculate = function(self, card, context, effect, info_queue)
        if context.cardarea == G.play then
            local other_card = nil    
            for i = 0, #context.scoring_hand do
                if context.scoring_hand[i] == card then other_card = context.scoring_hand[i+1] end --makes it look to its right
            end
            if other_card and other_card ~= card then            
                if context.other_card:get_id() == 10 then
                 return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
                card = context.other_card
                }
                
                end
            end
        end
    end
}

[stray warren]

You probably need to narrow down your context. Something like if context.individual might work. context.cardarea == G.play is called for multiple different contexts

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/issues/401 huh this one's interesting

like jokers, tag loc_vars are defined elsewhere

For jokers, we can't be doing anything about it because that would be fucking unmaintainable

i think i can come up with some trickery to redirect these to generate_card_ui though

[cerulean rose]

bump

[ionic verge]

can i also bump mine?

[royal ridge]

i've had this issue but i don't remember how i fixed it

[cerulean rose]

the curse of the green squares

[worthy stirrup]

Does balatro have an "offical" color pallete for its art?

[ionic verge]

yes, theres also a lot of design tips for arting in fan art

[flat ridge]

There's been a ton of compiled ones in fan-art

[frosty dock]

was quite easy for tags, let's see if I can make this happen for jokers too

[ionic verge]

(though note the full palette is like >256 colors)

[flat ridge]

The modding threads have like 3 as well

[wraith topaz]

Starting to try modding but the text file isn't becoming a lua, any fixes?

[viscid bough]

totally unmodded

[minor magnet]

rename the file?

[flat ridge]

What would be modded about this? You just got really lucky hermit rolls

[minor magnet]

lmao

[hollow patrol]

hi, is there an event for when a blind is selected? or just a way to check if one has been selected

[minor magnet]

G.GAME.blind i think

not sure

[viscid bough]

anyone know how i can go about making a joker that retriggers all other joker's effects?

[hollow patrol]

thank you !

[dry merlin]

that fixed the crash, thanks, but i cant get an effect to trigger

[minor magnet]

bump

[faint yacht]

You're likely to have to move your code around... or move each Joker to its' own .lua script that you call from the main one and rearrange the order of those. 🤷

[wraith topaz]

Can someone help me learn some modding in this game?

[minor magnet]

you can look at the example mods steamodded provides

and at the base game code

[wraith topaz]

Cant even make a lua file so far

[minor magnet]

its just a text file with .lua as an extention

[wraith topaz]

It still says Text Document instead of changing into Lua Source File

[minor magnet]

are you sure you are modifying the extension and not just renaming the file?

[ionic verge]

hey can i get some help on this? (reply also has an image tied to it)

[candid epoch]

anyone has template for consumables, vouchers and pack? (i got for joker, seal and deck so just need those 3)

[wraith topaz]

How would I check?

[cerulean rose]

do you have show file extensions enabled

[wraith topaz]

Again, not sure

Ok, fixed it

[candid epoch]

KoLGames, do your other files have extensions shown? (.png, .txt, .exe)

[wraith topaz]

Fixed it, it’s good now. I forgot to enable it

[minor magnet]

how would i make a deck spawn my custom jokers with higher odds?

like the vine deck

in the cardsauce mod

im looking at its code and can't really figure it out

[candid epoch]

that some complicate math shit

[minor magnet]

it is?

[cerulean rose]

what project was it on?

[candid epoch]

makeing stuff with more odds when conditions happen in general is

anyway, once again i am asking if theres any consumable templates

[dull saddle]

reminds me of minecrafts pirate language mode lmao

[candid epoch]

the cat language in minecraft

[tepid crow]

love the left one, right one might need some work still? doesn't feel very shiny/gemstone-y to me if that makes sense

[forest hinge]

anyone know if the functionality of spectral cards is somewhere other than it seems? I tried using a lovely patch on the bit in card.lua that seems to describe incantation/grim/familiar, but even if I literally delete the entire code block the functionality is unchanged

[long sun]

thanks! 🤍

[wraith topaz]

Do I need the Lua program for coding or am I asking stupid questions?

[autumn coral]

Yr asking stupid questions get vs code

[wraith topaz]

k

[harsh wagon]

hey I was just making a very basic alteration to the game (rearranging the jokers in the collection to an order that makes more sense) and the thought occurred to me that when I'm done I probably should put it up in case someone else was interested
but I don't know how to go from messing around in the game files to making a shareable modification

[livid tapir]

AMAZING

[violet void]

you shouldnt directly modify the source code

[livid tapir]

yeah i think thats what lovely patches are for from what ive heard

[violet void]

yes I love lovely patches

[long sun]

3/7!

[violet void]

looks nice, what does it do?

[livid tapir]

oooooooohhhh ii like it

[worthy stirrup]

You know how the Smear card makes suits act like another suit, how could i make something similar?

[long sun]

i haven't made the abilities yet, but i wanted to make Legendaries from the spells in Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney

[violet void]

card:is_suit

[long sun]

i'm using my own upscales of the sprites as reference

so, here's Goldor's upscaled sprite, for example

[worthy stirrup]

thanks

[violet void]

no way my favorite ace attorney entry

[long sun]

here's Ignaize and Dimere

[violet void]

do you have a thread?

[long sun]

i can make one for my mods!

[violet void]

not here

in #1209506514763522108

[long sun]

ah

oops! will make one there then :D

[candid epoch]

by the amount of how much i never got response to consumable, vouchers and packs templates, i assume there arent

[faint yacht]

Is cards_destroyed always a random table? Trying to get the first card that's destroyed and it appears to be random every time?

[faint yacht]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1224362333208444989 ?

[long sun]

check the Steamodded examples?

[candid epoch]

not art assests

[candid epoch]

also i did, but its missing those (or i am blind)

[long sun]

i remember there's an example Spectral?

[worthy stirrup]

i have no idea what im doing. I found this under cards.lua, but i dont know how to convert it over to the joker function

if next(find_joker('Smeared Joker')) and (self.base.suit == 'Hearts' or self.base.suit == 'Diamonds') == (suit == 'Hearts' or suit == 'Diamonds') then
            return true

[candid epoch]

i dont see it

[split creek]

  front = possibilities[i],
  _center = pseudorandom_element(G.P_CENTER_POOLS["Enhanced"], pseudoseed('draft_highvaluegoods'))
}, G.deck, nil, i ~= 1, { G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Parcel })```
does anyone know why this would produce a regular, unenhanced playing card?

[long sun]

Check SealExample

[candid epoch]

well, it be 1/8 cards i wanna make then

[violet void]

I can't see it

[worthy stirrup]

is this the part of the code thats ran when the joker calcuation is ran?

 calculate = function(self, card, context)
      if context.joker_main then
        return {
          mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
          message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
        }
      end
    end
  }

he didnt made it yet
just said he will make one

[violet void]

you were proved wrong above

[candid epoch]

nuh uh
i replayed to message to the one where he havent made yet

[violet void]

if youre using new_calc you dont need the message part also

[faint yacht]

Appearing to be random...

[wraith topaz]

What is wrong with my code?

[violet void]

what is happening in this video

[wraith topaz]

I looked into modding video and it isn't working

[faint yacht]

Task Manager, on last discard, destroys all discarded cards. The WIP Joker to the left is intended to make a copy of the first destroyed card X times, where X is the amount of cards destroyed.

[violet void]

could be the order in which you select the cards matters?

[faint yacht]

Add

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main then
        return {
            xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
        }
    end
end

and change

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

[faint yacht]

Selected from 6 down to 2.

[candid epoch]

ah yes, function(slef)

[cerulean rose]

missing comma

[violet void]

youre also missing some commas like on line 29

[wraith topaz]

Let's try again

[jagged sun]

in the context of final_scoring_step, what variable stores the final score? i'm helping out with a friend's mod and she referenced args which doesn't exist in the scope of calculate

[violet void]

would the WIP joker also work with hanged man?

[wraith topaz]

Still isn't working

[faint yacht]

Intended to be compatible with such, yeah.

[faint yacht]

You don't have a calculate function at all.

[wraith topaz]

It's not showing up

No, it just doesn't exist as a joker in the collection

[violet void]

is that in your main file?

[wraith topaz]

No

[violet void]

then you would need to import it

[wraith topaz]

What, you mean the mod file itself?

Not like the place where you keeps mods but the mod itself

[serene python]

How would I make a mod that adds a new enhancement or edition

I wanna have one called Magnetic where the card is always drawn into your hand

[dull saddle]

i think there is a section somewhere on the steamodded wiki about enhancement/editions gimme mo

[violet void]

pokermon is great to see how to do make them

[serene python]

Of course if such an enhancement already exists in another mod, I don't need to do anything lmao

[serene python]

Pokermon?

[dull saddle]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Edition
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Enhancement-[wip]

[violet void]

another mod

[serene python]

Gotcha

[dull saddle]

so for some reason when i import my mod into the game to test it out its throwing up a json error according to debug plus, and im at my wits end?? theres literally nothign that should be causing this??

[violet void]

does it copy correctly with hanged man?

[dull saddle]

this is the .json file

    "id": "sinful_jokers", 
    "name": "Sinful Jokers",
    "display_name": "Sinful Jokers",
    "author": ["Peachfroggg"], 
    "description": "Adds four new suit based jokers.", 
    "prefix": "sinf", 
    "main_file": "sinfuljokers.lua",
    "priority": -21, 
    "badge_colour": "fda0a5",
    "badge_text_colour": "a61a1f", 
    "version": "1.0.0", 
    "dependencies": [
        "Steamodded(=1.0.0~ALPHA-1309c)", 
        "Lovely (>=0.6)", 
        "Balatro (==1.0.0)"
    ],
    "dump_loc": false
}```

[violet void]

also depends on how youre getting the first destroyed card

[faint yacht]

Hanged Man makes the last selected card to be the first destroyed. When destroying via the Task Manager Joker, though, it goes from left to right as expected.

if context.remove_playing_cards then
  for i = 1, #context.removed do
    local _card = copy_card(context.removed[1], nil, nil, G.playing_card)
    ...

Also, the WIP joker catches any playing cards being removed via CTRL+R too.

[faint yacht]

Do you need the dependency definition?

[dreamy thunder]

I want to make an edition which turns a random card in hand to that edition if there is any in your full deck

is there any way of doing it?

[violet void]

for the joker that destroys cards on last hand are you using context.pre_discard or context.discard

[faint yacht]

if context.discard and not context.blueprint then
  if G.GAME.current_round.discards_left == 1 then
    return {
      delay = 0.45,
      remove = true,
      card = context.other_card
    }
  end
end

[violet void]

what if you tried with context.pre_discard? then you could pass G.hand.highlighted to be destroyed (which is probably correctly ordered) instead of it checking one by one

but idk if that would give error when trying to discard a destroyed hand

[faint yacht]

I used the Trading Card return base... and then there's Immolate that I have to test out potentially.

[dull saddle]

maybe? i have no idea what im doing wrong here

[faint yacht]

Just remove that part for the time being then.

[dull saddle]

mkay!

[wraith topaz]

This is so bare bones, how does this not appear in-game?

I checked collection, it just doesn't exist.

[faint yacht]

...are spaces even allowed in key?

[onyx inlet]

You need to make a call to joker:register in order for Steamodded to add it to the game I think

[faint yacht]

That isn't necessary.

[wraith topaz]

Can you just type in the code for that since I have two braincells trying to make my first joker.

[onyx inlet]

No? Oh dear, I have mislearned

Oh wait sorry

[wraith topaz]

Then why isn't it working?

[onyx inlet]

SMODS.Joker:new()

[faint yacht]

...that's not needed either?

[onyx inlet]

What?

[faint yacht]

It's just SMODS.Joker(table).

[onyx inlet]

    for _, v in pairs(jokers) do
        local joker = SMODS.Joker:new(
            v.name, 
            v.slug, 
            v.config,
            v.pos,
            {name = v.name, text = v.desc},
            v.rarity,
            v.cost, 
            v.unlocked, 
            v.discovered, 
            v.blueprint_compat, 
            v.eternal_compat, 
            nil, 
            'new_jokers',
            nil
        )
        joker.loc_def = v.loc_def
        joker:register()
        joker.calculate = v.calculate
    end
end```

[frosty dock]

it seems you've learned off an old version of steamodded

[onyx inlet]

T_T

[frosty dock]

and I'm talking like 9 months old

[onyx inlet]

Well I just started learning Balatro modding and I've just been using other mods as examples.

[frosty dock]

you're not specifying the atlas, so it'll just show up as jimbo in-game. seems alright otherwise

[frosty dock]

then you're using the wrong mods

[wraith topaz]

It's not showing up at all, not even in collection

[frosty dock]

does your mod show up in the mods menu?

[wraith topaz]

Nope

[onyx inlet]

Hmm. Does this mean I have an older version of Steamodded installed too? Because my mod actually works just fine 😭

[frosty dock]

do you have a different mod with id ODDITIES that you copied this header from and is also being loaded?

[wraith topaz]

Nope, only this one

[frosty dock]

No, there's a compatibility layer to keep supporting older mods

[frosty dock]

anything in the logs?

[wraith topaz]

Wdym?

[faint yacht]

Balatro\Mods\lovely\log

[wraith topaz]

Nothing there

[jagged sun]

in a joker, is there anything that i can refer to in the calculate() function that refers to the totalled score within the context.final_scoring_step?

basically i'm trying to make a joker that modifies the final score

[faint yacht]

hand_chips and mult are exposed globals for current scored chips and mult respectively.

G.GAME.chips is the current amount of score already put in iirc.

[jagged sun]

and that's for the current scored hand right

not the score for the whole round

[faint yacht]

Currently scored chips and mult. I have a Joker that swaps the two values around when it triggers on a card being scored, so the values can differ from one copy of the joker to the other due to their positioning in the hand.

[jagged sun]

roger that

[vagrant cedar]

Anybody able to help me rework this Joker?

[lavish pewter]

does anyone have a list or some way of finding out every jokers name and id? im too scared to tamper with the source code

[vagrant cedar]

It's currently extremely overpowered and needs a nerf but I don't know how to code my new idea

I still want it to create negative Jokers, but instead of being everytime you leave a shop, it will be a 1 in 4 chance whenever a Joker is triggered

And needs to not be able to copy itself

[glass scaffold]

I used ModdedVanilla.lua to scalp the probability code from Gros Michel, but I don't know how to stop it from copying itself.

[faint yacht]

Add an odds to your config for the max chance, first.

[vagrant cedar]

I have like 2/10000 exp points in coding

I need much more explicit instruction

[faint yacht]

What's your mod prefix?

[vagrant cedar]

uh

SMOD?

If that's what you're asking?

[faint yacht]

The "prefix" defined in .json or the legacy header.

[vagrant cedar]

oh thank you

mvan

[faint yacht]

Though, maybe pseudoseed would've fit better, but I just use math.random instinctively.

extra = { odds = 4 } -- 1 in 4. For 1 in 5, it'd be 5 instead.
...
-- Find a random Joker that's not ourselves or a copy of us.
if context.other_joker and context.other_joker ~= card then
  local selectedjoker
  if #G.jokers.cards > 1 then
    selectedjoker = pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, pseudoseed('j_mvan_wokeworm'))
    while selectedjoker.config.center.key == 'j_mvan_wokeworm' do
      selectedjoker = pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, pseudoseed('j_mvan_wokeworm'))
    end
  else selectedjoker = nil end

  -- If we have a valid Joker, roll the chance.
  if pseudorandom('j_mvan_wokeworm') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/card.ability.extra.odds and selectedjoker then
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
      local card = copy_card(pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, pseudoseed('wokeworm')), nil)
      card:set_edition('e_negative', true)
      card:add_to_deck()
      G.jokers:emplace(card)
      return true
      end
    }))
    card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, { message = localize('k_duplicated_ex') })
  end
end

[wintry solar]

pseudoseed is 100% better

[onyx inlet]

If I have a card that returns a negative value in calc_dollar_bonus is that a problem?

[wintry solar]

please don't use math.random

[vagrant cedar]

What do I do then 😭

[onyx inlet]

Use the code Ali just wrote!

[vagrant cedar]

But math.random

[faint yacht]

I never grasped pseudoseed in places like such, but it should slot in instead of math.random.

[hardy viper]

psuedorandom

[hardy viper]

psuedorandom_i_range

[vagrant cedar]

also I'm very silly and don't know which part I replace with the Ali code

I know, I'm obtuse

[hardy viper]

nvm this isnt a thing

[faint yacht]

pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, pseudoseed('j_mvan_wokeworm')), in this instance?

[hardy viper]

its just pseudorandom

for minmax you do pseudorandom(seed, min, max)

[faint yacht]

G.jokers.cards[pseudorandom('j_mvan_wokeworm', 1, #G.jokers.cards)]?

[wintry solar]

pseudorandom_element is more appropriate in this case

[faint yacht]

pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, pseudoseed('j_mvan_wokeworm')) then?

[vagrant cedar]

This is what I have right now? I'm just getting more confused

[faint yacht]

Please re-look at the code I've sent earlier... there are edits to it I've done.

[wintry solar]

also you need to add a context check otherwise this will just crash the game

[faint yacht]

Oh yeah, the if context.other_joker block in this case.

[wintry solar]

no

that's also not the right context

if context.ending_shop then

[faint yacht]

They wanted to change that to a 1 in 4 chance whenever an another Joker is triggered.

[vagrant cedar]

no

that's the old context

[wintry solar]

oh right

that should be on a post_trigger then

[faint yacht]

Well, at least I tossed my two cents in on this as I had to make my own "not self" Joker finder routine... as well as limiting it so that I don't end up freezing the game in the while loop.

Can we pass pitch alongside sound now?

[vagrant cedar]

I appreciate the help either way I'm just trying to get it workin

[sick sparrow]

how to check card's center

[valid trench]

I keep getting crashes with no log

idk what could be causing it

oh wait

nvm

idk why it's crashing

I'm just trying to find how many unique ranks are in the deck

[hardy viper]

for one that wouldnt do the trick since youd have duplicate ranks

[valid trench]

ya I was gonna filter them out after it fills an array with em

because I don't think Lua has a function to check for duplicates

[hardy viper]

better way to do it is

local a = {}
for i, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
 if v:get_id() > 0 then --stone cards have <0 ranks
   a[v:get_id()) = true
 end
end

print(#a)

[sick sparrow]

how to check card's center

[valid trench]

this way just crashes without a log, I assume because memory issues

idk how to make it so it only updates when the deck changes

[hardy viper]

card.config.center

[hardy viper]

old steamodded?

ik eval_card used to result in a stack overflow (which can sometimes just not error and produce a crash)

not eval_card

[valid trench]

I just updated it before working on this mod

[hardy viper]

get_id()

[hardy viper]

this would be helpful if i knew when you started working on the mod

[valid trench]

2 hours ago

maybe like 1

sorry not trying to be snarkly

should've specified that

[hardy viper]

thats fine

hm

do u have any other mods loaded

[valid trench]

a couple but nothing that should be cuasing it

putting it in the context.joker_main makes it work

[viscid bough]

is there any documentation of what the next() function does?

[valid trench]

well not crash, not work

[wintry solar]

anything not in a context check in a calculate function will stack overflow

[sick sparrow]

local monominos = {count=0,minos={}}
for _,h in pairs(card.area.cards) do
    if h.config.center == G.P_CENTERS["j_gerioc2_gerio_monomino"] then
        monominos.minos[monominos.count+1]=h
        monominos.count = monominos.count + 1
    end
end
```made this counting thingy

[wet sand]

is this fire
Wallet: Contains 4 random non-playing cards, will summon one at random when Poker Hand is played (must have room)

[viscid bough]

anyone know how i can check if all the cards in your played hand are a specific suit?

[wet sand]

poker hand is a placeholder for one of the random (currently unlocked) hands in a run, changes whenever you activate it

[pulsar flower]

any reason this wouldn't make the first card in an arcana pack a spectral card

[valid trench]

fair enough

how would I make it so a value actively updates like Cloud Nine does

[hardy viper]

loc_vars

[valid trench]

what do you mean

I don't mean the text

[hardy viper]

well yeah

you update it both in calculate and in loc_vars

such that whenever you would be able to tell what the value is its updated

[rocky heron]

hi nice pfp ok bye

[hardy viper]

true

[valid trench]

should I just put it under when a consumable is used and before other joker calcultions

[hardy viper]

there is a context for using convsumeable

s

[valid trench]

I know

[hardy viper]

so you wouldnt need to do the first thing

[valid trench]

but there's other jokers that can modify the deck so it should update there as well

and also that makes sure it's correct before calculating

[wintry solar]

sorry, whats the effect?

[forest hinge]

if SMODS has taken ownership of something but I want to edit it further, what's the best approach? can I simply take_ownership again?

[valid trench]

it's meant to see how many ranks you have in the deck and reduce it's very high xmult per rank you have

[sick sparrow]

does pseudorandom return between 0 exclusive and 1 inclusive?

[valid trench]

so if you have a deck made of 1 rank it's super strong but it does nothing when you have a normal 52 card deck

it seems to work with this set up, does anyone know if there's a get_id() for suits because there's is_suit() but that wouldn't really work if there's any modded suits

[wintry solar]

yeah that's a check that should be done within the calculate context

[hardy viper]

https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/blob/f73e649a954b599fc184726c376476e7a5c439ca/src/lib_math.c#L177

[sick sparrow]

ah yes, tetriminos

[pulsar flower]

this is really weird, the patch certainly applies, but nothing put on the payload does anything

[tepid eagle]

are you using steamodded?

[sick sparrow]

o tetrimino producing square jokers are bit weird

[forest hinge]

I figured it out, SMODS takes ownership of those spectrals so editing vanilla doesn't do anything

[sturdy compass]

Just tested this and it does

[sturdy compass]

Well then

Did you have to take ownership yourself to get around it?

[tepid eagle]

this is the code i used to make the first card of every spectral pack be trance

SMODS.Booster:take_ownership_by_kind('Spectral', {
    create_card = function(self, card, i)
        if i == 1 then
            return {set = "Spectral", area = G.pack_cards, skip_materialize = true, soulable = true, key = 'c_trance', key_append = "spe"}
        else
            return {set = "Spectral", area = G.pack_cards, skip_materialize = true, soulable = true, key_append = "spe"}
        end
    end,
}, true)

[sick sparrow]

any idea what 6 other tetriminos do? (I gains x6 mult if the poker hand is flush five, five of a kind, straight flush, four of a kind, flush or straight, as this is straightforward, T is full of twists)

[flat ridge]

Next project lol, maybe do the cat one too

[pulsar flower]

does it replace this part of the code? wouldn't it give a pattern not found in the log in that case?

[tepid eagle]

it basically just puts a bunch of new code at the start of the booster pack code that means the vanilla code doesn't actually ever run

[pulsar flower]

ohhhh

[cerulean rose]

why do you have a blueprint in your consumable slot

[forest hinge]

yeah

[sturdy compass]

Damn alright

I haven't messed with that stuff yet lol

[pulsar flower]

is there a way around it?

[sick sparrow]

that's called blueprinter
...do I need to say again!?

[tepid eagle]

yeah, you can use SMODS.Booster:take_ownership_by_kind

i posted an example a little bit up in the chat

[zealous glen]

I think they could also patch Steamodded's patch

Or see if Steamodded provides somewhere to hook

[vagrant cedar]

Is someone able to help me fix this Joker? I was having help with it earlier but no one officially told me what to do, people were kind of disagreeing with each other and I never figured it out

[pulsar flower]

oh my bad, i didn't see it

[vagrant cedar]

It's supposed to have a 1 in 4 chance to clone a Joker (with negative) whenever the Joker is triggered, but shouldn't be able to clone itself

[valid trench]

ok interesting issue with this implimentation, #card.ability.extra.c_rank is returning the first false value i.e. if you remove all 4s from the deck it returns 4

it does whatever the lowest false value is

[hardy viper]

why would anything be false

its either true or nil

[valid trench]

sorry not false

I guess just nil

[plucky wolf]

is there a good way to find the fancy text the game does? e.g., the word "negative", or the words "The Fool" have fancy colors when used in descriptions -- but where would I look for an example of how to copy that into my own text?

[hardy viper]

anyways whats card.ability.extra.c_rank

[valid trench]

I guess there's no reason it shouldn't be a local variable other then I wanted it to work in set_ability and calculate

[zealous glen]

https://tenor.com/view/my-eyes-gif-5314502384487986587

[valid trench]

??

[zealous glen]

the white background

[hardy viper]

looks good to me

[valid trench]

ya me too but it's just not?

[hardy viper]

ah

its context.consumeable

not context.consumable

[zealous glen]

are you trying to count the number of Stone cards?

[hardy viper]

(that might not be the issue)

(but still)

[wintry brook]

anyone know what juice_up does?

[hardy viper]

opposite

number of unique ranks in deck

[valid trench]

that is an issue thank you

[zealous glen]

I mean you can count Stone cards then remove it from the total

Because the game does that for Stone Joker, if you need a reference

[hardy viper]

no point in doing that though

[valid trench]

but the main issue is that it's just not counting the length of the array correctly

[hardy viper]

you can just check non-stone cards

[zealous glen]

although I'd check for the ranks specifically

otherwise it won't work with mods

[zealous glen]

shakes cards

[hardy viper]

what are u talking about

[zealous glen]

Mods can implement more ranks or cards without ranks

[hardy viper]

?? yeah duh what do u think get_id() is for

negative values indicate non-ranked cards

which is why you check whether theyre positive

[zealous glen]

Does that work for modded Enhancements using Steamodded's built-in feature

[hardy viper]

it either works or wasnt intended to work
