[zealous glen]

Because there's a utility function to see if the card has a rank

Hence I'd suggest using that

SMODS.has_no_rank

[valid trench]

now the value isn't changing at all???

[plucky wolf]

I'm not certain but I believe it causes (or at least is related to) the effect that plays when cards get destroyed, where it like burns up from the edges almost

[random sleet]

juice_up is the wiggle things do when they do something

[plucky wolf]

ah gotcha

[zealous glen]

This is how I was tracking unique ranks, although I perhaps should've used get_id

[hardy viper]

has_no_rank is probably better

[zealous glen]

wait I forgot the top

[hardy viper]

its less backwards compatible but thats fine

[wintry brook]

I thought juice_up would be the function to put the card down (like after you enhance it) but that didnt work

[zealous glen]

no juice just shakes

you want to deselect it

IIRC

[valid trench]

this is actually just kinda bizarre, it's just not changing from 14 now

which is weird because there isn't even 14 ranks in a deck????

[sick sparrow]

now the card renders incorrectly

[zealous glen]

Ace

[valid trench]

1-10 J Q K

Ace is 1

[zealous glen]

I think Aces are 14

[hardy viper]

ace is 14 yea

[valid trench]

well

[sick sparrow]

it was supposed to be a mista' face but it draws 4 of hearts from 8BitDeck.png

[zealous glen]

And # returns the largest integer index

[valid trench]

it does

I see

[zealous glen]

You still need to count manually

[hardy viper]

unless im very mistaken # does not return the largest integer index

[zealous glen]

or at least I did here

[wintry brook]

ty i was looking at cryptid source code and they didnt do that (a code card that changes all cards in hand whoops!)

[valid trench]

yeah for me it's always returning 14 which it shouldn't be if it's checking array length

because even if Ace = 14 there's still only 13 ranks

[valid trench]

because Ace is both 1 and 14 (well 11 in the actual rules but still)

[hardy viper]

interesting

[valid trench]

alright that shouldn't be too bad of a fix

[zealous glen]

Lua when indexing tables:

[sick sparrow]

some dirty inside my code

causing mista four to not render correctly

might be hyperstoneia?

[hardy viper]

trying to find the default len implementation in luajit is hell

yk what ill just trust that its the same as 5.1

[sick sparrow]

manually adding front might cause problems

like

G.P_CARDS["Mista"] = tabledeepcopy(G.P_CARDS["S_4"])
G.P_CARDS["Mista"]["suit"] = "Mista"
G.P_CARDS["Mista"]["pos"] = {["x"] = 2, ["y"] = 0}
G.P_CARDS["Mista"]["atlas"] = "gerioc1_gerio_p1_geriolish_1"
G.P_CARDS["Mista"]["name"] = "Mista Four"
G.P_CARDS["Mista"]["value"] = "4"

[zealous glen]

I found this for 5.4. Do you think this is it?

[valid trench]

is using context.using_consumeable trigger after or before the consumeables effects

[hardy viper]

if its for 5.4 its not useful

wish it was but alas

luajit is old

[tall wharf]

balatro is using love2d right

[zealous glen]

Y'know I forgot that Balatro uses an outdated version

[valid trench]

ya

[hardy viper]

yes

[zealous glen]

without //

[valid trench]

actually is it context.consumeable or context.using_consumable

[hardy viper]

latest luajit parses //

?

[zealous glen]

But Balatro doesn't

best we can do is x/y - (x%y)/y

and define it as fslashfslash

[valid trench]

because neither seemed to update correctly lol

[hardy viper]

ah wait

forgot the error lol

[valid trench]

strange, it's not updating when I use hanged man

it's a minor issue but I wonder why

[zealous glen]

probably detecting hanged man wrong

[sick sparrow]

how to add front? (does smods have front method?)

[zealous glen]

steamodded has a draw method

for Centers

[autumn geode]

hey im new to balatro specific modding ive read through steamodded wiki and cant find what im looking for just wondered if anyone already knew, basically im adding a joker that has a chance to be debuffed each hand played obviously when you debuff a joker its not going to be calculated the next hand is there any way i can remove the debuff between hands?

[zealous glen]

is debuffing important or do you just want to deactivate it

[frosty widget]

Anyone else run into an issue with mod config updates not being pulled after changes from a prior config?

So essentially say I have mod config.lua like so

return { cool_music = true }

And in the mod config menu I change it to off making the saved config table translate to something like { cool_music = false }
Now I added some new thing I want in the config, and now the config.lua looks like so

return { cool_music = true, cool_colours = true }

However when I launch the game after the new var is added, my SMODS.current_mod.config still spits out { cool_music = false } which is fine except the new cool_colours var is not in the config now.

Never Mind I figured out my issue, it had to do with nesting lol, covered it in more detail in this PR: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/407

[hardy viper]

not finding any mention of a "//" anywhere in luajit other than here (which is in dynasm anyways)

[merry raven]

Is there a way to disable all scoring in a blind with a flag? There are some mechanics you have to go through before you can unlock scoring again\

[autumn geode]

just deactivate will work but i would prefer to have it looked debuffed i guess i could fake it with draw commands

[dull saddle]

maybe poke though base code for that blind that disables scoring until you sell a joker?

[merry raven]

Ohhh right I forgot that blind existed

[valid trench]

you can make it set chips and mult to 0 after all other jokers

[zealous glen]

I think I'd rather have it deactivate and not look debuffed. Anyways, you can just save its state in a variable then not execute part of the effect

[valid trench]

unless you mean like just completely skipping scoring which might be possible

[zealous glen]

but execute the part that reactivates

[valid trench]

probably make it so it does that boss blind thing were it says hand can't score then throws it away

idk what that'd be called but ya knwo

[autumn geode]

its really simple honestly its just straight up a 50/50 of the card working next hand or not but i didnt consider at first that setting the debuff would stop me from being able to rebuff the card through itself

[weak brook]

trying to make a boss blind where high card wont score but i keep getting this error

i wrote it just like how the smods wiki says i should

not sure whats wrong here

[zealous glen]

does it work for other hands

[weak brook]

lemme see

no

put in 'Flush' got the same error

changed to this, this works. just confused why the other thing that the smods wiki says to do doesnt

[dull saddle]

maybe get rid of the brackets in the first vers?

[valid trench]

how can I make something in set_ability not trigger while looking at it on the title screen

[dull saddle]

like hand = { 'High Card' = true } ?

[elder vapor]

G.STATE == G.STAGES.RUN

[tepid crow]

no that's how you do table keys in lua

[weak brook]

maybe? but i doubt it. it's not what the wiki says

https://i.imgur.com/PwfP5e4.png

its got the brackets

[valid trench]

ty

[dull saddle]

huh

[zealous glen]

depending on your issue you might not want it to run in the Collection while you're in-game

also I'm not sure how that solution interacts with other game states

[valid trench]

actually just checking for if there are playing cards in the deck would probably work

[zealous glen]

I think the easiest would be like

if G.GAME

maybe it needs something else inside G.GAME?

[valid trench]

I think if G.playing_cards ~= nil then works

atleast it seems like it doe

[zealous glen]

I guess both G.GAME and G.playing_cards are similar

[valid trench]

the only other situation would be if you had no playing cards in your deck which is like technically possible

[zealous glen]

maybe just test if it works when reloading

[valid trench]

but it just would be the default value which is what it should be

it seems to

nice

[wooden nexus]

Question: With all the base game hand types, how would you rank it from easiest to hardest?

High-Card
Pair
2 Pair
3OAK
Straight
Flush
4OAK
Straight Flush
Full House
5OAK
Flush House
Flush Five

[vagrant cedar]

Just like the game does

[hardy viper]

can you clarify what you mean by easiest? like, easiest to make, easiest to win a run with?

[sand oasis]

maybe odds of getting it + effort to get it

[winter thorn]

probably easiest to play yeah

[sand oasis]

that looks pretty solid

[wooden nexus]

Easiest to make

[hardy viper]

High-Card
Pair
2 Pair
3OAK
Flush
Straight
Full House
4OAK
Straight Flush
5OAK
Flush House
Flush Five

imo

maaaybe strush over 4oak but probably not

just for fun this is the slop that AI decided to spit out

straights are easier than two pairs fr

[keen sleet]

where are card enhancements defined? I'm trying to see how gold and steel cards are calculated

[ancient ore]

Is there a way to keep jokers as individual luas while still having them appear as the same mod

HELP ME PLEASE GOD PLEASE HELP

[elder vapor]

make/copy code to load files from a directory

 SMODS.load_file(v)
end

[jagged sun]

is anyone else having trouble using set_ability()ing a card in an event?

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after',delay = 0.15,func = function()
  while faces[i].ability.effect ~= "Bonus Card" do
    print(faces[i].ability.effect)
    faces[i]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_bonus, nil, true)
    print(faces[i].ability.effect)
  end
  faces[i]:flip();  
  play_sound('tarot2', percent, 0.6);
  faces[i]:juice_up(0.3, 0.3);
return true end }))

i have an array of face cards and within this, the code says each card is now a bonus card

but within the game nothing happens, they don't score as bonus cards

outside of an event everything works 100% as expected but without any regard for event scheduling

so idk what the issue is, is this an issue with the api itself?

it had been a while since i pulled from the smods repo so i did that and nothing changed

[sick sparrow]

idk

[candid epoch]

whats the code used for purple seal? i wanna make green seal for my consumables

[sick sparrow]

green seal is taken by cryptid, but still you can make green seal

[candid epoch]

fuck cryptid, i never use it

[candid epoch]

i have no idea why this not working so i drop this

[sudden pike]

hello,
i'm trying to make a joker that triggers at least when a debuffed card is played but i feel like i might need to make a fancy work around. i'm just trying to make a way to return the mult mod for now. Is there an easy change to this bargaining code so i make it kinda work?

calculate = function (self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual
        then
            if context.other_card:is_debuffed() then
            return{
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } },
                card = card
            }
        end
        end
    end```

[tall wharf]

nice one

[sudden pike]

reading the smod wiki, it says debuffed cards = do nothing. feels like its skipping the if trigger entirely here.

[sick sparrow]

how to retrieve run's seed?

[wintry solar]

You’ll need to look in context.before to undebuff them for them to score

[sick sparrow]

G.GAME.pseudorandom.seed?

[wintry brook]

is there a wiki page for particles?

[sudden pike]

i could be sneaky and just see if the chips didn't change between the score initialization stage and the Scoring cards phase...
might test something like that too.

[keen sleet]

Anybody know? I'm really just trying to make a held card enhancement that goes off after a hand is scored but I'm not sure what the context should look like

[wintry brook]

it took me a while to find g.hand but this works like a steel card

[sick sparrow]

how to use other mod's atlas?

[keen sleet]

Thank you, that actually helps a lot

[wintry brook]

if you still want to know where steel cards implementation is, its in common_events.lua

[sick sparrow]

there's no such page as github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Back

[keen sleet]

Found it, I appreciate it

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1318248620125851749 exists but SMODS.Front?

[faint yacht]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wintry solar]

No

What would a front be?

[sick sparrow]

after adding header.json, it crashes quite often

even loading atlas

[carmine burrow]

was thinking of ideas for custom jokers and accidentally just made another "perky joker"

something like
'Add Negative to a random consumable card at end of shop
-1 consumable slot"

somewhat interesting imo as you can ensure tarot cards don't show up by just keeping them in your consumable area

probably somewhat exploitable obviously

if you get the +1 consumable slot voucher you could probably do the emperor/fool/judgement trick ...

(need a showman momentarily but still)

[merry raven]

Looking through SMODS.Sticker's documentation, I'm calling SMODS.Stickers.fm_voltaic_overflow:apply(_card, true) to apply my custom sticker to a playing card, do I use this same line again to remove it?

[cedar stream]

i think its applied using

if G.jokers.highlighted[1] then
G.jokers.highlighted[1].ability.rental = true
end

[edgy reef]

Yes, if the value is nil then it would remove the sticker.

[cedar stream]

for jokers at least

[merry raven]

Oh so I have to explicitly define nil in the third parameter?

SMODS.Stickers.fm_voltaic_overflow:apply(_card, true, nil)?

[edgy reef]

That’s 4 args not 3

Also you can omit the val arg form the call, lua will treat it as if it’s nil

[merry raven]

4 args? What's the fourth one? apply(_card, true) is what worked for me to apply and it already doesn't have a val arg

[edgy reef]

Using the colon is adding SMODS.Stickers.fm_voltaic_overflow as self.

card and true are occupying 2nd and 3rd leaving the explicit nil as 4th

[edgy reef]

So this function call would basically just be adding the sticker again, not removing it

[wintry brook]

how would i get the entire played hand without context? i thought this would work but its not quite it

[merry raven]

I see I see

So it's just SMODS.Stickers.fm_voltaic_overflow:apply(_card) to remove it?

[edgy reef]

Should be yea

tryna make a joker that gets upgraded for every fire and ice enhancment in deck, but the joker keeps upgrading every hand played when you have the same amount of fire and ice ehancments as last hand

i think its something with not making the game stop calculation but idfk how to fix it

[violet void]

tryna make a joker that gets upgraded for every fire and ice enhancment in deck,
So when you obtain them?

[storm kraken]

yeah ig

[violet void]

You need an update function on the joker, like this

```update = function(self, card, dt)
    if not G.SETTINGS.paused and G.jokers then
        card.ability.fire_tally = 0
        card.ability.ice_tally = 0
        for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
            if v.ability.prefix_ice then card.ability.ice_tally = card.ability.ice_tally + 1 end
            if v.ability.prefix_fire then card.ability.fire_tally = card.ability.fire_tally + 1 end
        end
    end
end,```

Then, in your joker loc_vars

     return {vars = {
         center.ability.fire_tally,
         center.ability.ice_tally,
     }}
 end,```

In the calc function, you simply return either fire_tally or ice_tally as chips, mult, xmult or whatever

how do u properly do info queue

i still haven't figured it out

[violet void]

you mean like this?

[wintry brook]

is that for a tool tip?

or whatever you call those information tag things

[violet void]

yes

[wintry brook]

mine does not work, even though i set it up similarly

[violet void]

sending your code may help

[misty cape]

how would i go about adding these changes to my own lua file without having to use Trance? (not the splash, just the suits) even just the SO_2 tbh cuz i use hc cards

[tall wharf]

yeah but unconventionally i need to do a lot of patching

[misty cape]

this is what i have so far but id like to get these in as well so that it fully replaces the colors.

it's not the biggest deal if i can't do this without Trance, just wondered if I could just add this in to my own without needing another mod

[storm kraken]

wtf does this error mean???

non of the mods im working on go until line 1105

is this the game itself 😭

[misty cape]

look in lovely folder, then dump, main.lua in there

[wintry brook]

its most likely your mod having an issue that causes the game to crash somewhere else

[storm kraken]

this doesnt have anything to do with anything im doing??

[misty cape]

check 1780

[storm kraken]

time for random bullshit go !

[wintry brook]

i recommend commenting out the newest parts of your code to narrow down what code is causing the crash

[storm kraken]

ah i see

soemthing to do with evaluating play

seems relevant enough to be my mod

bug fixing go !

wtf literally everything in the joker i added causes a crash

this is fun

If it ain't breakin you ain't codin

[wintry brook]

it needs loc_txt

[storm kraken]

a

wait no it doesnt?

[wintry brook]

when does the game crash?

[storm kraken]

when you play a hand

actually not that

when the hand starts to be scored

like when the card would usually give chips to the chips thats when it crashes

[wintry brook]

you need to check for context.after in the calculate function

[runic pecan]

Would this be too complicated to read for a joker?

[wintry brook]

i think its too convoluted, but also the first line could be rewritten as 'Copy the far left card's suit to every other played card'

unless you mean you can actually pick the suit

[crisp coral]

very

i assume it's a reference tho

[runic pecan]

Was also planning on not showing square braket part,
make them hidden mechanics.

[crisp coral]

then it'd be confusing

[wicked leaf]

become a WHAT

[wintry brook]

the square brackets could be stream lined to (random chance to copy Enhancement, seal, edition, or rank) using small text

[wintry brook]

dragon!

i drew it in 1 minute as a place holder lol

[violet void]

that one person who fails a straight to a 1 in 715 (its upgraded above 5oak):

[runic pecan]

I mean it like the eyedrop tool in picture editing softwares

[violet void]

you would be able to pick it by dragging your selected cards around

[runic pecan]

It would be like playing a Flush hand while wild card(s) getting sucked away by Vampire.
The game still count it as a Flush hand.

[violet void]

so the effect is applied in context.after I see

[runic pecan]

It's meant to make a Flush build that painfully-ly slowly goes toward Flush Five.

[violet void]

welp...

[wicked leaf]

Trying to figure out how to make a joker destroy a specific joker on pickup

[violet void]

Possibly

        if not from_debuff then
            for i = 1, #SMODS.find_card('j_prefix_name') do
                SMODS.find_card('j_prefix_name')[i]:start_dissolve()
            end
        end
    end,```

[wicked leaf]

thanks, will try this out

its for 2 jokers that destroy eachother

[violet void]

you'd need to make a add_to_deckfor both

[violet void]

wait so like if I already have the other one, picking the first one woudld destroy both at the same time?

or only the old/new one

[wicked leaf]

no, just the older one

[violet void]

ok then thats correct

[wintry brook]

anyone know where stuff like g.hand and g.play are defined? i cant find anything in game.lua or globals.lua

[frosty dock]

in game.lua:

this is mostly uninteresting though

properties of card areas are defined in cardarea.lua

[wintry brook]

aah thats good to know. im just trying to figure out which one to use for all cards played, scored or not

[violet void]

G.play.cards

[wintry brook]

might be bugged then because that one only counts all cards up to an always scoring card is played (stone cards)

[wicked leaf]

cooking

[violet void]

what is your joker doing

[wintry brook]

its an ehanced card that checks for burnt cards in the played hand, but if it always stops checking once it gets to an always scoring card

[violet void]

you should include whe whole calculate function

[wintry brook]

        if G.STATE == G.STATES.DRAW_TO_HAND then if self.burnt then sendTraceMessage("Reset!") end self.burnt = false end

        if self.burnt then return end

        if  G.STATE == G.STATES.HAND_PLAYED then
            sendTraceMessage(#G.play.cards)

            for k, v in pairs(G.play.cards) do

its an update function because enhanced cards dont calculate until they are scored

and i needed it to happen before the hand was played

[frosty dock]

pairs is not always in order

[violet void]

I dont think I understand, why wouldnt this work in the calculate function in

if G.play.cards and context.cardarea = G.play then

[tall wharf]

🔥

[frosty dock]

try ipairs instead of pairs

[wintry brook]

i have, I used sendTraceMessage to see how long the array was and it wasnt 5 despite 5 cards being played

[wintry brook]

because cards dont calculate until they are scored, and context.before never works (afaik)

[frosty dock]

why is this is an update function though?

[wintry brook]

what else can it be

[violet void]

edited

actually probably not

[frosty dock]

update runs every frame, and I think played cards don't get added to G.play on the same frame

context.before in a calculate function should do

[wintry brook]

they dont which is why i was checking G.state

context.before wasnt working earlier but i could try again

[violet void]

otherwise you can create a new context that runs at the beginning of evaluate_play

[wintry brook]

this is how its working rn

[violet void]

I did it like this (I have a few jokers that make changes before cards score)

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/state_events.lua"
pattern = "G.GAME.hands[text].played = G.GAME.hands[text].played + 1"
position = "before"
payload = '''
for i=1, #G.jokers.cards do
    if cs_utils.contains(beforeall_context, G.jokers.cards[i].ability.name) then
        --calculate the joker before hand evaulation
        local effects, scoring_hand = eval_card(G.jokers.cards[i], {cardarea = G.jokers, cs_beforeall = true, scoring_hand = scoring_hand})
        if effects.jokers then
            card_eval_status_text(G.jokers.cards[i], 'jokers', nil, 1.1, nil, effects.jokers)
        end
    end
end
'''
match_indent = true```

-# I hardcoded which jokers can enter in order to avoid other Jokers breaking

[violet void]

wait what is that animation lol

[wintry brook]

i made it lol

[violet void]

anyways you can try a new context if all else fails

[violet void]

its pretty cool

[wintry brook]

thx, i think it'll be a lot cooler when the art is done & the dragon sound when the explosion happens

[wintry brook]

i see nothing in the console when i do this so im not really sure

[violet void]

it should be print("before")

-# or thats what I use at least

[wintry brook]

the earliest i can get a console message is when the card gets scored w/ chips, so im not sure a new context will help

i use the logger for debugging

[violet void]

if you use debugplus, print works

[frosty dock]

you're not on latest steamodded

[wintry brook]

im on old calc

[frosty dock]

it'll work on new calc

[wintry brook]

should i update then? i heard some stuff breaks

[violet void]

im using it, its fine for now

[frosty dock]

if you have other enhancements/editions you probably need to change them

[violet void]

just make sure youre using context.joker_main for jokers that give mult, chips, xmult

[wintry brook]

only thing that broke from updating was this, in an enhanced card, what do i need to change

it says effect is nil

nevermind needed context.individual check it seems

[wintry brook]

updating fixed it thank you...!

[frosty dock]

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring then
  return { x_mult = card.ability.x_mult }
end

[wintry brook]

do we not use effect at all anymore

[frosty dock]

yes

[storm kraken]

this makes the thing happen after the played hand has already been scored

atleast im one step closer ig

seems like context.joker_main is the one i needed

[wintry solar]

I wonder which part is overflowing when you have calculate code not in a context 🤔

[sudden pike]

I got a "if all cards in played poker hand are debuffed" function working. Here's a solution if someone comes looking for a similar thing later. can be touched up in the good lua department but it works.

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before
        then
            card.ability.extra.hand = context.scoring_hand
            card.ability.extra.all_debuffed = true
            for _, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if not v.debuff then
                    card.ability.extra.all_debuffed = false
                end
            end
            if card.ability.extra.all_debuffed then
                for _, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                    v.debuff = false
                end
                return{
                    mod_mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
                    message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult}}
                }
            end
        end
    end

[violet void]

is the joker's calculate function ignored if its debuffed? like would I need a lovely patch if I want one joker to be able to debuffs itself

I guess I could intercept it through remove_from_deck with from_debuff but I want it to undebuffs during its turn

[weary jungle]

how do i put a random seal and edition on a card?

[vital stag]

Hey everyone sorry if this question might seem a bit redundant but I'm trying to make a card skin mod (to replace face cards with little hand drawn cards of mine) and I can't seem to figure it out. So far I've got the assets set up and the lua file and everything but whenever I load up the skin in game the face cards just appear blank... any ideas?

Hopefully this is the right channel for this

[wooden badge]

For the seal you can use the SMODS.poll_seal function as an argument to set_seal. That will do all the random business for you since the base game does it somewhat ham-fisted, which is fair enough since only certificate requires a random seal to be picked.

[vital stag]

Nevermind, figured it out. I was exporting the images wrong.

[wooden badge]

I imagine it is similar for the edition

[weary jungle]

is it SMODS.poll_seal or just poll_seal

[wooden badge]

yeah you'll need SMODS. at the beginning since it is a modded function by steamodded

check the documentation it only requires two vars

here's how i used it

dont worry about the print bit I just wanted to see the number in the console

[weary jungle]

uhhh i will not mind the pseudoseed.... thanks?

[wooden badge]

oh i meant to change that

you can have the pseudoseed as whatever you like it just processes a string and spits out a number between 0 and 1

obvs the G.hand.highlighted[i] bit is specifically the card im referencing in my chain, youl have to change it to what yours is

[weary jungle]

i got that, maybe check the screenshots before you send them 😭

[wooden badge]

wow so embaraasing

not really idc

it's a meme I stuck in cus my friend and I brought it up

[merry raven]

I'm making a custom SMODS sticker, what context check should I use to see if any hands are played without the card with the sticker on it

[cedar stream]

it is a ability

in the code

if context.other_card.ability.rental then

similar to this

[plucky wolf]

I'm trying to make a deck that gives you extra cards to start out with, but I can't for the life of me find an example of how to do so! I'd like to ask for some help.

Here's what I've got now - I suspect this should work, but I'm unsure what to put for the "area" option, and (if I want one extra card for every rank) what I should make the Key to force a specific card

[tepid crow]

that's not how SMODS.add_card works?

should be more like SMODS.add_card{set="Base", <etc>}

[plucky wolf]

so more like, card = SMODS.add_card{set="Base", area="(something)", key="(something)"} ?

[weary jungle]

its probably like card = SMODS.add_card({set="Base", area="(something)", key="(something)"}) i think

[sand oasis]

I got a problem with trying to get a new global variable to work across multiple jokers. I have it initialized at 0 with init_game_object and it'll function in the first joker, but it doesn't seem to function in the second joker.

I use it to hold money that the first Joker steals from the player wallet and follow that up by using ease_dollars to subtract the player's wallet from itself, and this all works and successfully changes the value.

ease_dollars(-G.GAME.dollars, true)```
I want the second Joker to return the value in G.GAME.thiefwallet to the player wallet and set its value to zero, but this doesn't work.
```ease_dollars(G.GAME.thiefwallet, true)
G.GAME.thiefwallet = 0```
Both of these jokers operate at context.end_of_round, but the thing is that doesn't matter, since even if the second Joker tries doing this during context.joker_main, it still doesn't work.  I'd love if someone can check this out - I'm gonna make this a thread where I'll dump my code for everything.

[violet void]

what did poor perishable_compat do

[sand oasis]

i think it'd be really really funny for the joker to disappear with all your money

[weary jungle]

how do i get a random edition?

[candid epoch]

another day, another stealing codeing session

[weary jungle]

im so close.. just like 7 more runes to go

[storm kraken]

guys do you vibe with

[weary jungle]

it should remove all your discards like the water

or just set the boss blind to the water

[violet void]

it does feel like that doesnt it

[sand oasis]

anyone know how to add debugging comments and how i'd access them?

[violet void]

if you use debugplus mod, you can print with print('hi')

[sand oasis]

Ahhhh I could have sworn I did that

I'll give it another spin

it'll be in the console, right?

do i need to have it open?

[hardy viper]

you do not need debugplus for this

[violet void]

I mean it appears on the screen

or does it appear either way?

[hardy viper]

well yeah

it appears in the console

[sturdy compass]

Gonna give this another bump. To explain the intended functionality a bit better, I’m trying to track the number or retriggers prior to the second joker hitting joker_main and use that to calculate Xmult, but currently it's tracking any Joker trigger

[violet void]

with debugplus it opens automatically so its better ig

[fading fox]

yo does anyone know were the example mods for steammodded went? They were very helpful

[violet void]

no

[hardy viper]

meh debugplus only handles lua prints

i prefer the raw lovely console

• cant look at dbp console after a crash

[wind kindle]

from a design perspective , what r people’s thoughts on giving a single joker multiple effects to push it towards viability , even though it isn’t something that’s done in the base game ?

[sturdy compass]

Personally I'm not a big fan of that. Makes it too easy of a choice compared to other jokers that "Won't do as much"

[wind kindle]

mhm that makes sense

also hi astra

[sturdy compass]

howdy

lmao

[wind kindle]

lmao

[candid epoch]

well, as in example joker mod

-# more description line than 3 looks odd

[wind kindle]

thank u

[sturdy compass]

Haha...

-# I don't think I've shown the Poet here yet

[wind kindle]

i was mainly thinking about it in terms of tacking something like +chips or +mult onto a utility joker

it’s something i think i’ve seen some people do

[violet void]

if its a legendary its justified right?

[wind kindle]

or a joker that is an enabler to its own payoff , which u would never normally see

[sturdy compass]

Passive scoring as a secondary effect I'm quite against because it removes the tradeoff of holding on to a utility joker

[wind kindle]

mhm

[wind kindle]

mhm this is the kind of stuff i was talking about

i don’t have any actual thoughts on it cuz i haven’t done any modding but it’s a good example

[candid epoch]

nah

[violet void]

I need to split it into two jokers? ;-;

[wind kindle]

u don’t need to do anything

it’s ur own mod lol

[sturdy compass]

This is true

[wind kindle]

this is why i wanted to have this discussion though

[sturdy compass]

But in terms of balance that thing is nuts

[violet void]

lemme rephrase, would it make sense to split it into two jokers?

[wind kindle]

it’s difficult to judge cuz it’s legendary

[sturdy compass]

I personally think it would since the rank seal itself seems very powerful

[wind kindle]

my personal design philosophy would lean towards yes

[sturdy compass]

The interactions with it are good, but it's just so much for one joker

[wind kindle]

but once again it’s legendary so i don’t know

u could put the effects on non-legendaries or something

[sturdy compass]

It really does depend on how unbalanced you're willing to go lol

[violet void]

I want it to be balanced

So I guess this one is would need a split too

[wind kindle]

here’s a good example of what i’m talking about from the paperback mod

i don’t know how to feel about things like this

i’m not criticizing it whatsoever of course i’m just curious what others think

[sturdy compass]

Yeah that card is really out of left field for being a vanilla-inspired mod

[wind kindle]

fair enough

[high shard]

[sturdy compass]

This one actually seems fine since there's a tradeoff with it creating fakes

[candid epoch]

😭
i would never take it because my ass cant recognize the diffrence

[wind kindle]

LOL

[sturdy compass]

[candid epoch]

like, i mostly play flush five, but the moment a fake card appears looking like mine
i will have existencial crisis

[violet void]

they get an enhancement when you trigger them once

[heady summit]

any1 know how to fix this?

[violet void]

just visual tho, if you change enhancement they are still fake

[wind kindle]

so i guess the ultimate question i’m trying to answer is what should one do if they’re trying to make a really cute utility joker or something that u would rarely want to give a joker slot to in comparison to actual scoring

just design good cards , i guess ? LOL

[candid epoch]

first off, only fucking list of mods wont let us do shit

just paste the log

[sturdy compass]

Simply design gooder

[wind kindle]

unsatisfying conclusion

but i will accept it

[wind kindle]

astra where can i see the mod ur working on

or is it not public yet

[sturdy compass]

It's not out yet lol

[wind kindle]

understood

[sturdy compass]

I'm taking my time with it

[wind kindle]

glhf

[night pagoda]

0614a seems like an ancient steamodded

[heady summit]

so i should update smod?

[night pagoda]

yup

[heady summit]

can any1 send em an updated one

[sturdy compass]

Thanks for a reminder to do a pull sometime today

[candid epoch]

i still have no idea what i am doing in my mod lmao

[night pagoda]

I too once in a while remember to pull only to see I'm 16 commits behind 😭

[sturdy compass]

Yeah lmaooooo

[violet void]

im making mine inspired by a game on roblox

[sturdy compass]

Mine is very much vanilla+

[candid epoch]

someone made consumables inspiried by roblox

[crisp coral]

does this count

[stray warren]

This card is actually getting its second effect removed in the next update

[night pagoda]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods

[sturdy compass]

[candid epoch]

can i just do consumables that do nothing so i can see how they look like in game?

[violet void]

yes

[crisp coral]

yea

[violet void]

I do it with jokers all the time

[candid epoch]

got template for that?
so i dont mess up

[wind kindle]

oh cool , thank u for the insight ^w^

[candid epoch]

fuwwy spotted

[heady summit]

this one is the new

[violet void]

its a specific game tho

[night pagoda]

oh it's cryptid, iirc cryptid should include a certain steamodded version in order to work correctly?

[heady summit]

ohh

damn

[sturdy compass]

I cannot blame math for doing that ngl lmao

[night pagoda]

I have no idea honestly, I might be wrong

[candid epoch]

i will need the consumable empty template so it wont crash under any chance

[heady summit]

i was playing the run untill i got something and after e250 crashes

[night pagoda]

I just don't think it's up to the better calc yet

[candid epoch]

also guys, how do you sort your code?

[thorny adder]

Oh yeah that

Yeah I do that

Yeah...

[violet void]

wdym sort my code

[elder vapor]

by type

[candid epoch]

i see alot of people sort code
also i dont mean files, i mean code

[thorny adder]

Well one joker = one paragraph

Idk

[night pagoda]

I have all my code in a single file, I find it more easy to access things that way - the file bar is already bloated with base game stuff

[candid epoch]

also, do i need to make a custom set for my potion cards?

or it comes automaticly

[night pagoda]

SMODS.ConsumableType exists, yeah

so you need to register it

[candid epoch]

oke, i need walkthrough about that one cuz nothing like this is in examples

[night pagoda]

oh huh, I swear there was an entry on the wiki about that, doesn't seem to exist now

[candid epoch]

i just want to make my own potions man ,w,

[night pagoda]

yeah it did exist for sure

[candid epoch]

if it doesnt anymore, what do i do?

[candid epoch]

what the fuck is 1 in 0.1 😭

oke, i think i found it in diffrent mod

    key = "Potion",
    primary_colour = HEX("9933FF"),
    secondary_colour = HEX("9933FF"),
    collection_rows = {4,5},
    shop_rate = 0,
    loc_txt = {},
    default = "c_emperor",
}```
something like dis?

though i dunno what default means

...great...

[violet void]

forgot to ask the other time, but is there a way to create a new cardarea with smods

something with this

[candid epoch]

put this in a file instead of whole copy paste it, chat flooded lmao

[frosty dock]

steamodded doesn't provide an API for it, no. You'd just use the game's CardArea constructor

[elder vapor]

[violet void]

understandable, thanks 👍🏽

[fading fox]

anyone know how to check if specific cards in played hand are of a specific enhancement

[elder vapor]

am i being stupid rn because i just copied code from what cryptid did for rigged

[candid epoch]

guys, why its an "error"

[elder vapor]

missing loc txt

[candid epoch]

MixedPotions also have it empty and for em it works

[weary jungle]

maybe they have an en_us?

[elder vapor]

they had localization file

[fading fox]

I guess im asking how do you check for enhancements on cards

[elder vapor]

its like card.center.config or smth

brb

[winged vessel]

Hey guys, i used to play this a bit, and I had mods installed back then but nothing is working anymore other than the base game, is there something I need to change or update to get mods working again?

[elder vapor]

card.ability.effect, its a string value of the enhancement's name

[candid epoch]

#⚙・modding-general is enough, you dont have to post twice

anyway, so how i fix my "error" if i dont wan localization file?

[weary jungle]

add loc_txt

[winged vessel]

Sorry, people were just ignoring my question there so i wasn't sure if this was a better place to ask

[candid epoch]

this is mostly a place about developing mods, ngl

[winged vessel]

Sorry i didnt know

[candid epoch]

its oke

[zealous glen]

Has anyone tried to mess with the particle generator?

[candid epoch]

wait, what is can_stack and can_divide?

[elder vapor]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i honestly have no clue

[zealous glen]

Because I think they’re just in texture squares right

So you should be able to texture them

[candid epoch]

yippie!

oke, now i really need the empty consumables to put em here

[fading fox]

so how would I use this in context?

[elder vapor]

if card.ability.effect == "Stone Card" or smth

[candid epoch]

halo, got empty consumable template i can use? so i can see how they look in game

[wintry solar]

Don’t check string names pls

[violet void]

is there a standard way to make a page like this

[sturdy compass]

[violet void]

https://tenor.com/view/pam-the-office-confused-confuse-confusion-gif-24583205

[sturdy compass]

Yeah lmao

[weary jungle]

you came to the right guySMODS.Consumable{ unlocked = true, discovered = true, atlas = "ATLAS", set = "SET", name = "set-NAME", key = "NAME", pos = {x = 0, y = 0}, --Atlas position cost = 4, order = 1, can_use = function(self, card) --!!CONDITION FOR USING!! end, use = function(self, card, area, copier) -- what the rune does return true end })) end, }

[violet void]

what does caesar do

[sturdy compass]

Hedonist: Gains 0.5x Mult when leaving a cleared out shop

[candid epoch]

thank you dude

[violet void]

thats interesting

does it count voucher too?

[sturdy compass]

Yep

And Boosters

[violet void]

vagabond synergy 🔥

[candid epoch]

also i think i fucked something up

[sturdy compass]

Oh shit truuuuue

[weary jungle]

do you have a loc_vars?

[hollow patrol]

hi, is there a specific file where the code for jokers is stored in the game's source code? i've looked everywhere and could not find it

[violet void]

loc_vars?

[candid epoch]

dont seem to have it

[violet void]

you need it

[sturdy compass]

It depends what you're after. If you want trigger functionality you want card.lua. If you want definitions you want game.lua

[hollow patrol]

oh ok. thanks !

[candid epoch]

well, what exacly do i write in it?

[violet void]

        return {
            vars = {
                center.ability.extra.mult_gain,
                center.ability.extra.mult,
            }
        }
    end,```

[weary jungle]

(swap mult_gain and mult)

[candid epoch]

i think i need to swap em lmao

[weary jungle]

speak of the deviool

[violet void]

yes true

I've nerfed the legendary

[candid epoch]

and how i color the PotionUP nametag thingy?

[violet void]

drop to rare or leave it legendary?

[candid epoch]

its your choice

[violet void]

yes i want suggestions

[hollow patrol]

"badge_colour": "<hex here>", in the .json file

[rough furnace]

False

[violet void]

in your mod json

afaik

[hollow patrol]

rare tbh

[hardy viper]

?

[candid epoch]

json? the fuck

[violet void]

the header is obsolete

[weary jungle]

--- BADGE_COLOUR: ABCDEF for header

[rough furnace]

https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus/releases/tag/v1.3.0

[candid epoch]

i only have lua file, no json

[weary jungle]

at the tippy top of the lua you should have something like this:

[hardy viper]

ah

[candid epoch]

ahhhh

[violet void]

    "id": "CrazyStairs",
    "name": "Crazy Stairs",
    "display_name": "Crazy Stairs",
    "author": ["Me"],
    "description": "",
    "prefix": "cs",
    "main_file": "CrazyStairs.lua",
    "priority": -2,
    "badge_colour": "FFFBBB75",
    "badge_text_colour": "",
    "version": "0.1",
    "dependencies": ["Steamodded (>=1.0.0~ALPHA-1310*)"],
    "dump_loc": false
}```

and name it "main file name" + ".json"

[hardy viper]

ya those headers are deprecated

use json format for new mods

[weary jungle]

i should make a json

[candid epoch]

so frustrateing

[violet void]

bump

[rough furnace]

Iirc someone made a template

Maybe this https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1216008703455793244

[candid epoch]

so what i do with this old thing?

[weary jungle]

do i remove the header? edit: yes

[weary jungle]

remove it

how do i get all of the jokers and cards in hand

[maiden river]

closure on this: so it turns out this only happens when you load a save state in DebugPlus and add another card

[candid epoch]

do i need the dependencies?

what will happen if i remove it?
(cuz i am 2 versions behind)

[nocturne estuary]

how could I prevent context.remove_playing_card from being triggered when a hand is played?
In other words, is there a better way to run code only when a card is destroyed?

calculate=function(self,card,context)
        if context.joker_main and card.ability.extra.mult > 0 then
            print('this way')
            return {
                card = card,
                message = '+' .. card.ability.extra.mult,
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
                colour = G.C.MULT,
            }
        end
        local multAdd = 0
        if context.remove_playing_card then
            print('that way')
            for i= 1, #G.hand.highlighted do
                multAdd = multAdd + G.hand.highlighted[i].base.nominal
            end
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + multAdd
            card_eval_status_text(card, 'mult', card.ability.extra.mult, nil, nil, {message = '+' .. card.ability.extra.mult})
        end
    end

[wintry solar]

What are you trying to do?

[elder vapor]

haven't been able to figure this out 😭

[wintry solar]

Eval card has two return values

[elder vapor]

oh i've just been returining the ret 😭

[weary jungle]

how do i flip a card, and how do i check if a card is flipped?

i know its :flip, is there any arguments?

[nocturne estuary]

I'm trying to trigger some code when a card is destroyed (via hanged man for example)

[elder vapor]

awesome it works now

[sudden dew]

No, no arguments. If you ever want to check information like this, you can look in the game files for it. Most anything card related will be in card.lua

Then check card.facing=='back'

[wintry solar]

What’s wrong with context.remove_playing_cards?

[nocturne estuary]

it also triggers when cards are removed from the played hand

[sudden dew]

Also check that context.removed and #context.removed > 0

[wintry solar]

It should only trigger when cards are destroyed

[sudden dew]

Yeah, but I had the same issue as well. Was getting trigged when playing hands

Might be a bug idk

[nocturne estuary]

ok, now it doesn't trigger anymore when I remove cards via hanged man

[violet void]

not necessarily

[weary jungle]

i dont think im doing things right

[sudden dew]

Can you paste the code here?

[nocturne estuary]

calculate=function(self,card,context)
        if context.joker_main and card.ability.extra.mult > 0 then
            print('this way')
            return {
                card = card,
                message = '+' .. card.ability.extra.mult,
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
                colour = G.C.MULT,
            }
        end
        local multAdd = 0
        if context.remove_playing_card and context.removed and #context.removed > 0 then
            print('that way')
            for i= 1, #G.hand.highlighted do
                multAdd = multAdd + G.hand.highlighted[i].base.nominal
            end
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + multAdd
            card_eval_status_text(card, 'mult', card.ability.extra.mult, nil, nil, {message = '+' .. card.ability.extra.mult})
        end
    end

[candid epoch]

then i gonna yeet it out

[sudden dew]

Pretty sure that should be context.remove_playing_cards and not context.remove_playing_card

[nocturne estuary]

hmm, let's test it

alright

[nocturne estuary]

that fixed it

thank you

[weary jungle]

what why is the bottom red

my brain has desintigrated

[solid veldt]

So hey. When you take ownership of a seal/enhancement/edition or whatever using steamodded... are you expected to also like, take ownership of everything that also makes reference to it such that an info box pops up? Because if you don't, and the seal/enhancement/edition uses a different set of loc_vars than vanilla, then the game will just crash!

When trying to render the info box that is.

I encountered this when modding blue seal. Hovering over blue seal gives no issue. Hovering over trance crashes the game, because then vanilla code kicks in and gives my localization function for blue seal the wrong loc_vars.

[vagrant cedar]

Hear me out

[solid veldt]

I have a hard time believing I'm the first to encounter this. This problem would exist for any seal/enhancement/edition override of vanilla's.

So maybe I'm just missing something(???)

[weary jungle]

this is crazier than the time i got the plant on a baron run! (insert losee screen)

[maiden river]

is there a list somewhere of all of the text color options?

[vagrant cedar]

best i know of

[maiden river]

thanks

[frosty dock]

I would assume this applies to seals and seals only. Enhancements and editions are referred to by their prototypes as info_queue entries, but seals indeed aren't. They work a bit differently from anything else, and simply passing the prototype just doesn't work

So this is way more niche than you're making it, but still unexpected behavior

[solid veldt]

I guess overriding vanilla seals isn't something many people do, then.

[frosty dock]

I'll figure something out to make it possible to simply pass the prototype for seals too. I was working on something similar for jokers and tags the other day, tbh I just forgot seals also have issues in that regard

[solid veldt]

I did see that for e.g. editions, it adds G.P_CENTERS.e_holo instead of a hardcoded table like {key='blue_seal, set='Other'}. But I didn't investigate that since I didn't get how that would've made a difference (since I didn't see a function call involved)

And loc_vars must be determined by a function call

[frosty dock]

each table added to info_queue gets passed through its own iteration of generate_card_ui. If the center is used, it has your loc_vars function defined on it, while a hardcoded table doesn't

[solid veldt]

Ah, now I get it.

[weary jungle]

5 more to go!!!!!!!

(i went backwards)

[solid veldt]

... but... hmm. I think I can see the code you're talking about, but the relevant conditional you have for it is first_pass and not (_c.set == 'Edition') and badges. Wouldn't that mean enhancements would suffer the same problem?

no wait, hold on, i'm bad

[dreamy thunder]

how do i make a joker with the functionality of the steel joker? i need to check for specific enhancements in deck

[wintry solar]

Check for them in your locvars and calculate functions

[dreamy thunder]

i dont really know how though

[sturdy compass]

Let’s try once more lmao I keep asking at bad times seemingly

[tepid crow]

retrigger_joker_check seems like the wrong context to use?

(disclaimer that I haven't really worked much with joker retriggers)

does it work correctly for other jokers?

[sturdy compass]

What do you mean by “works correctly?”

Because right now it tracks all joker triggers, not just retriggers like it should

[tepid crow]

yeah that sounds like it doesn't work correctly 🤣

[sturdy compass]

Yeaaaaaah

[tepid crow]

try context.retrigger_joker and not context.retrigger_joker_check instead?

[sturdy compass]

Alright I’ll give that a whirl when I get the chance

[frosty dock]

can't seem to figure that one right rn without breaking vanilla seals

i'll stash this and get back to it later

[fading fox]

any idea why this might be crashing?

[fading fox]

Are you doing a runes mod? I thought I was being original lol

[weary jungle]

Im doing a bunch of rune consumables rn

I have 20 done currently

[fading fox]

ooo thats about how many I have done

this is the link to my github https://github.com/Elswre/Balatro-Rune-Magic

[weary jungle]

You definitely have different

Mine are more get something but something, not very random

[fading fox]

ah yeah I went with the randomness theme to reference how tricky runes are in the myths

[summer willow]

Hello, need some help here I don't understand, I'm trying to create a Joker who can destroy himself like Gros Michel but the game keep crashing because of line 38 when I look into the Joker description ("main.lua"]:38: attempt to index global 'card' (a nil value)

[tepid crow]

what's the crash? 🤔

[dreamy thunder]

how to check if a card stays in hand?

[fading fox]

"bad argument #1 to 'next ' (table expected, got nil)"

[tepid crow]

what version of steamodded are you running?

[fading fox]

1.0.0 alpha 1313a

[zealous glen]

The key probably shouldn’t have spaces. Also we don’t know what’s line 38

[summer willow]

Sorry 😭 it's that one

[fading fox]

full crash report

[tepid crow]

cheers

[zealous glen]

Ah that’s easy: look at your arguments and the variables you used

You didn’t define card

[sturdy compass]

This just doesn't detect the triggers at all now

[summer willow]

Ohh thanks! I'm a beginner and I'm trying to learn with premade code

[tepid crow]

interestingly when I copy-paste the code it doesn't even detect steel/gold/stone cards

[fading fox]

ok weird

idk ive never tried to detect cards with enhancements before

[tepid crow]

wow I just read that code like 5 times and didn't see the issue

why are you checking card and not context.other_card for an enhancement

card is the joker

[fading fox]

ohhhh

[tepid crow]

also I needed to change == "stone" to == "Stone Card" etc

[fading fox]

so like this?

[tepid crow]

and I think it's better to use SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_stone") or <etc for gold, steel>

yeah I think that'll work

[fading fox]

how would I do your suggestion?

[tepid crow]

if context.other_card.ability.effect == "Steel Card" or context.other_card.ability.effect == "Stone Card" or context.other_card.ability.effect == "Glass Card" then
into
if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_steel") or <etc for stone, gold> then

[fading fox]

sweet

[tepid crow]

also the description of the joker says steel/stone/gold, but the code checks for glass 🤔

[tepid crow]

uhhh idk 😭

[fading fox]

whoops

[sturdy compass]

damn lol

[tepid crow]

let me try some things

[sturdy compass]

I can send the whole calculate block if you'd like

if it helps that is

[tepid crow]

I already have something I'm working with but thanks

[sturdy compass]

aight

[wintry solar]

Did you get it sorted?

[tepid crow]

no

[sturdy compass]

Lars is helping me work it out rn

[wintry solar]

You probably want if context.post_trigger and context.other_card == G.jokers.cards[1] then I think

It might be other joker

I don’t remember off the top of my head

[tepid crow]

post_trigger was one I was also looking at but assumed it would trigger even on non-repetitions

[sturdy compass]

That's what I was thinking as well and hence have not tried it

Also that second half would just detect the first joker in hand??

[wooden nexus]

only 25 mult?

[tepid crow]

... yes

[frosty dock]

it was other_joker at some point, erroneously

[wintry solar]

Did I misread what it’s supposed to do? I thought it was the number of triggers of the first joker you wanted?

[sturdy compass]

It's supposed to be tracking the number of all retriggers

[tepid crow]

Gains x0.5 mult when a joker or playing card is retriggered
iirc

[sturdy compass]

Correct

[frosty dock]

context.other_context.retrigger_joker?

[wintry solar]

Yeah post trigger is still the correct thing to use

[sturdy compass]

I have that in the circulation but it seems to not do it for me

[frosty dock]

show code then?

[tepid crow]

(I read through the chat when you first asked your question and I'm not sure how so many people misunderstood lol)

[sturdy compass]

Here's the isolated bit that's supposed to be tracking the retriggers

[sturdy compass]

Me neither 😭

[frosty dock]

yeah you're not using post_trigger

[wintry solar]

You want post trigger and the snippet aure posted

[fading fox]

ughh im still getting the same crash

[frosty dock]

I'm saying something along the lines of

if context.post_trigger and context.other_context.retrigger_joker then

[wintry solar]

That should give you successful retriggers

[sturdy compass]

alrighty

[fading fox]

main.lua:1793: [SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]:1147: bad argument #1 to 'next' (table expected, got nil)
I cant figure out what table I might be passing an argument to

[sturdy compass]

This is the first I've seen other_context though, what exactly does that give?

[frosty dock]

that gives the context the retriggered joker was triggered on

[sturdy compass]

Ah I see

Hmmm still doesn't seem to do it

[tepid crow]

It works for me! How are you testing it?

[sturdy compass]

I'm using Hack as a baseline for retriggering

[tepid crow]

hack doesn't retrigger jokers?

[sturdy compass]

But it retriggers cards

[zealous glen]

Joker retriggers are fully modded

[sturdy compass]

And that falls within all retriggers

lmao

[tepid crow]

context.other_context.retrigger_joker specifically checks for joker retriggers lol

[sturdy compass]

Ah

well then

[zealous glen]

This worked to copy Jokers in the previous calc

[wintry solar]

The other bit is a bit more of a complicated check, give me a minute

[tepid crow]

shouldn't it just be repetition_only? 🤔
nope

[tepid crow]

I'm very lost, it worked fine on my end

[zealous glen]

look at the lovely dumps

[fading fox]

this is what im trying now

[zealous glen]

this is the fastest way to see what's going wrong

unless

what's the full file path

for the error

[fading fox]

wait fuck ignore that

[tepid crow]

I like half the chat being in there

[fading fox]

shhhhh

[sturdy compass]

lmao

[fading fox]

here is the crash report

[tepid crow]

oh

you're running cryptid

don't run cryptid with the latest steamodded

[sturdy compass]

Cuplrit Cryptid

[wintry solar]

I think what you need to do is hook SMODS.calculate_repetitions and check for the presence of your joker, and increment a value in it internally to then use in your context.joker_main check

[tepid crow]

oh ew

that's the best?

[sturdy compass]

I was hoping that wouldn't be the case

Oh well

[wintry solar]

yeah individual card retriggers don't get thrown to jokers becuse they can come from the actual card itself

[sturdy compass]

wack

also wouldn't it be SMODS.calculate_retriggers?

[wintry solar]

the repetitions given to them from jokers do get passed, but not from seals etc.

no, it's repetitions you need here

retriggers is for jokers

repetitions is for cards

[sturdy compass]

I cannot believe there's different terminology for that

[wintry solar]

🤷‍♂️ I didn't name them

[sturdy compass]

I'm not blaming you lol

So I take it I'd have to take ownership of the function then? If that is the case I have yet to do anything with taking ownership lol

[tepid crow]

can't take ownership of a function, would need to hook or lovely patch

[wintry solar]

its not a difficult hook, I can write it for you if you need

[tepid crow]

my suggestion was going to be counting context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card and context.individual and subtracting 1 from the final counter

but I'm not sure that's any cleaner

[sturdy compass]

Yeah hooks are still something I'm still having a tough time wrapping my head around for the most part

[tepid crow]

hooks are pretty simple

[sturdy compass]

Also sidenote, would this hook take red seals into account too? Asking in case I can get rid of that check

[wintry solar]

yes this hook would take everything in

[sturdy compass]

awesome

[wintry solar]

oh that might work too actually

wait no

[tepid crow]

hooking (don't mind the + between strings)

[wintry solar]

that would count times jokers trigger on the cards

[tepid crow]

I'm unsure what the difference is?

unless there's a scenario where a playing card retriggers but doesn't trigger the jokers with that card as context

[vale lake]

hey does anybody know why this event only works properly once?

[wintry solar]

that context counts effects like the basic suit jokers

[frosty dock]

ah yes, string addition

[wintry solar]

local rep_calc = SMODS.calculate_repetitions
function SMODS.calculate_repetitions(card, context, reps)
    local rep_return = rep_calc(card, context, reps)
    local jokers = SMODS.find_card('key here')
    if next(jokers) then
        for _, joker in ipairs(jokers) do
            joker.ability.extra.card_repetitions = joker.ability.extra.card_repetitions + #rep_return - 1
        end
    end
    return rep_return
end

I think this counts them correctly

[sturdy compass]

I'll give it a go

[tepid crow]

it makes sense in any language except lua

[frosty dock]

indeed

lua is just... special

[wintry solar]

you'll also need to reset the count in context.before

[sturdy compass]

I've been doing that already so we good

[tepid crow]

return true in your event else it'll loop forever?

[tepid crow]

... yes, that's the context basic suit jokers use? I still don't see the issue 😅

[vale lake]

tysm, I'm still very new to events so I don't really get how they work yet

[wintry solar]

they aren't repetitions of a card

[tepid crow]

let me introduce you to https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager before the author himself can link it

[zealous glen]

I think some use multiplication

[wintry solar]

OH wait I see what you mean

[tepid crow]

string multiplication with an integer actually makes sense!

[vale lake]

I was already skimming this before, but I guess I missed the part about having to return true to properly end it

[zealous glen]

I think the logic is

xy

is multiplication

is concatenation

[wintry solar]

that might actually be cleaner, hmmmm

[tepid crow]

I think your hook is fine actually

[wintry solar]

the hook should work

[sturdy compass]

This looks like it works. tysm for the help here

[zealous glen]

what's the effect

[tepid crow]

.

[wintry solar]

it'd be something like if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and not context.retrigger_joker then right?

[tepid crow]

yeah that'll also work, though I think you only really need the context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual

[wintry solar]

I think retriggers would mess up the count if you didnt exclude them

though I'm not sure

[tepid crow]

it would be for playing cards, so I don't think retrigger_joker is relevant?

I mean you'd have to start keeping track of individual cards so the hook is cleaner anyway

[wintry solar]

but you're counting the times the context comes into the joker to track the times the card triggers

[tepid crow]

oh the joker that's counting getting retriggered?

[wintry solar]

yeah

[tepid crow]

oh my bad didn't realize that's what you meant

[faint yacht]

On note of repetitions... I think updating Steamodded potentially broke something in this bit 'cause I crash whenever I have a "in hand" ability card like Steel.

if context.cardarea == G.hand and context.repetition then
  return {
    message = localize('k_again_ex'),
    repetitions = repeats,
    sound = not silent and togabalatro.config.SFXWhenTriggered and "toga_officehammer"
  }
end

[wintry solar]

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

oh wait repetitions

[tepid crow]

yeah might need to handle that, not sure

see this is why the hook idea was cleaner

[frosty dock]

huh, a table index is nil

[wintry solar]

yeah the hook works nicely

what a helpful error message

[frosty dock]

looks to be coming out of talisman

it expects there to be a card when there's repetitions

i don't think we do? not sure though

[frosty dock]

can you try if it works sans talisman?

[faint yacht]

Adding card = context.other_card no longer crashes it, but sure, I'll try.

[wintry solar]

better calc doesn't expect cards in any returns

[sturdy compass]

So I'm realizing I need to do another hook into an SMODS function, but I want to replace part of it instead of just tacking functionality on. For this case I wanna specify the number of cards pulled in random_destroy, so I'd have to add a loop where this now is. How would I do that?

[faint yacht]

Guess it's the Talisman-specific thing, then.

'cause w/o it and the card =, it works as intended.

[frosty dock]

aight

forwarded it to the talisman thread

[faint yacht]

I'll leave it as card = card until I notice the fix.

i keep getting my amount of xmult come up as nil when i test my joker in game, what am i doing wrong with the card.ability? ``` SMODS.Joker {
key = 'vaingloriousjoker',
loc_txt = {
name = 'Vainglorious Joker',
text = {
"{X:red,C:white}1.5{} Mult for each",
"{C:diamonds}Diamond{} suit held in hand",
}
},
config = { extra = {
X_mult = 1.5,
suit = 'Diamonds',
}
},

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
  return { vars = { card.ability.extra.x_mult } }
end,
rarity = 3,
atlas = 'SinfulJokers',
pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
cost = 8,
unlocked = true,
discovered = true,
blueprint_compat = false,
eternal_compat = true,
perishable_compat = false,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.individual and
  context.cardarea == G.hand and
  context.other_card:is_suit("Diamonds") then
    return {
      mult_mod = card.ability.extra.x_mult,
      message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.x_mult } }
    }
  end
end

}

[frosty dock]

you have X_mult in your config but x_mult elsewhere

[dull saddle]

wre

are those two differnt things

THROWS HANDS UP UGH

[frosty dock]

...

[wintry solar]

you're also using mult_mod

[dull saddle]

thank you

[wintry solar]

what smods version are you on?

[dull saddle]

im testing in 1.0.0~ALPHA-1309c but using the example joker mod guide best i can, even though theres no clear documentation on the names of everything for effects and areas

[wintry solar]

your return just needs to be xmult = card.ability.extra.X_mult then

though you should also update smods

[dull saddle]

i downloaded this two days ago

[wintry solar]

4 days ago

[frosty dock]

thoughts on balance?

[dull saddle]

my only concern is if .25 will divide since its a decimal, punishing instead of boosting

[frosty dock]

nah, it's gain X0.25, so it'll be X1.75 after first trigger

[wintry solar]

4 days and ~40 commits,

popping those commits like nothing

[dull saddle]

mkay!

[frosty dock]

it kind of limits itself since you run out of stars and moons to play spectrums with if you don't find a way to convert them back

it can still give a lot of mult quickly

[zealous glen]

It depends on how easy it is to get a Spectrum. But it seems too good for a deck effect instead of a Joker.

What does the suit change to?

[dull saddle]

i think it might depend on how you are building your deck in a playthrough, sounds like a fun challenge!

[frosty dock]

it changes randomly to something that isn't stars or moons

[dull saddle]

spectrum i believe is a hand played with five suits

[zealous glen]

I didn't ask what it was

I asked how easy it was to get it

[dull saddle]

sorry geez

[zealous glen]

I was just clarifying :<

[frosty dock]

it's not a bunco spectrum, it's fairly easy to get but doesn't score a lot

[zealous glen]

So I imagine your deck starts with 6 suits

[frosty dock]

this would mainly synergize with composite hands such as straight spectrums

[frosty dock]

yes

[zealous glen]

How does the math work out for spectrums compared to flushes

or straights

Spectrum Flush 🤔

Straight Spectrum Flush Pair 🤔

[frosty dock]

i have them at 20X3

[cyan dune]

Pretty sure the math for 5 different suits is much nicer than five of the same suit

[frosty dock]

though flushes are rarer in decks with more suits, so they should also get a boost

[cyan dune]

I'd kinda like putting it where Bunco Spectrums are, just starting at Level 2

[zealous glen]

I think it should start at X1 honestly

[frosty dock]

I've thought about either that or reducing the gain

[violet void]

colorful 😭

[zealous glen]

I think both would be good

[frosty dock]

but starting with 1.5X might make it too free early-game

is X0.2 gain still too much?

[zealous glen]

I was thinking 0.1

[wintry solar]

I think starting at X1 and have gain X0.2 sounds pretty good

[frosty dock]

yeah same

what could i do for a unique sleeve effect

[wintry solar]

X100 mult ezpz

[frosty dock]

spectrums can be made with 4 cards?

[sturdy compass]

Why so serious?

[violet void]

what does it turn Moon and Star into with the 1 in 4 chance?

[dull saddle]

i think any other suit

[frosty dock]

.

no, it doesn't change stars into moons or vice versa
-# should it?

[violet void]

oh ok

[dull saddle]

it might prolong the effect of runnign out? idk

[violet void]

should probably be specified

[zealous glen]

Maybe change Stars into The Star and Moons into The Moon

[frosty dock]

no

[zealous glen]

What Tarot changers are there for them

[frosty dock]

The Star? and The Moon?

[zealous glen]

The Diamond and the Club?

[frosty dock]

i could have made them that

[sturdy compass]

It'd be funny

[violet void]

cool joker, what does it do

[frosty dock]

i'll consider if given art

[viscid bough]

i was looking at one of the example mods trying to figure out how to make a custom deck, and i noticed this line of code:

"full of {C:attention,T:e_polychrome}Poly{}{C:red,T:m_glass}glass{} cards"

What exactly does T do? ive only figured out C, X, S, and V so far

[sturdy compass]

Makes a random held joker negative at the end of every ante

[frosty dock]

makes tooltips when hovering over that part of the text (or next to the description when using galdur)

[violet void]

sounds like a good idea for a deck

[sturdy compass]

That does sound like a neat deck

[viscid bough]

Ahh i see. thanks!

[frosty dock]

probably a bad idea for a deck/sleeve effect, but idk

[wintry solar]

could it retrigger spectrums perhaps?

[violet void]

how would it decide between flush and spectrum

I guess it picks the highest in position

[frosty dock]

picks flushes because they're higher on the list

wild flushes are still considered to contain a spectrum though

[sturdy compass]

Since there's some activity here can anyone help me out with this? Still in the process of learning hook stuff

[random sleet]

smodsman will six suits support spectrum franework

[frosty dock]

i don't think spectrum framework wants me supporting it

there's already bunco support being added

[random sleet]

im pretty sure thats literally just because you add spectrums

[wintry solar]

hmmm, the seal loc changes have broken my curse tooltips

[frosty dock]

i love me some breaking changes disguised as innocent fixes

[tepid crow]

it's the steamodded way

[random sleet]

thac is going to be supporting spectrum framework going forward 's why i ask; i like six suits also tho and wanna have support for it where applicable :333

[frosty dock]

aight i'll add support for it

[random sleet]

:3 nice

[sturdy compass]

Oh thank goodness I don't see any failed patches after update

[wintry solar]

I think it's just a lovely patch missing now

yeah got it back

[sturdy compass]

Last time I updated my joker that returned suits and ranks back to stone cards broke completely

That was quite a bug fixing adventure

[cloud ore]

please tell me you can change the shit jimbo says when you lose a run i NEED to make this (og post https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyjimbo/comments/1huyg9y/me_when_local_skunk_gives_me_perishable_rental/)
