[frosty dock]

I've been meaning to for like the past 2 weeks 🥴

[proper stratus]

silly goose

[long sun]

thanks!! :D

[proper stratus]

ok wait

strange

[wintry solar]

shall we get it done now and then I'll document them all?

[frosty dock]

oh wait i thought you were talking about something else

silly me, it's 1am and I'm tired

I did add context.main_eval

[proper stratus]

i just used the dnd screen cus i didnt care lmao

[frosty dock]

I'm not sure there's any others that need to be added

[wintry solar]

cool cool, I'll take a look through and add any that might be missed

[proper stratus]

(i just copy pasted the code from DNA
)

oh wait

i just didnt materialize it

[wintry solar]

holy indentation

[proper stratus]

they call me god they way i make space

also can someone explain to me why like half of the parentheses in the vanilla code are backwards

like on the other end of that Event

whats up with that

[sturdy compass]

Ough you have much to learn about coding

[proper stratus]

:)

yep

i can feel the pain that that question caused

[sturdy compass]

Everything within those parenthesis are defining what happens in the Event

[ionic verge]

hey real quick
i need to do something more than this to actually set up the ID right?

[vagrant cedar]

He meant at the end of function

The empty ones

[ionic verge]

or

i dunno at this point

[dusk harness]

i cant seem to find what im looking for using the search, but how does one add a joker to the jokers table, like programatically add lets say perkeo to the joker roster?

[wintry brook]

in your mods json file you set the prefix

[sturdy compass]

I thought they were asking about the ones that close the E_MANAGER

[proper stratus]

hey dont worry my head is made of steel and the wall aint got nothing against me

[ionic verge]

what json

[sturdy compass]

Pls use json instead of a header https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata

[dusk harness]

anyone know about this?

[wintry brook]

cryptid does it with one of its decks

im not too sure how but thats probably a place to look

[dusk harness]

do you know which one?

if not im just gonna restart the game with Talisman installed

[proper stratus]

equlibrium deck

[dusk harness]

tahnks

[ionic verge]

like this right?

what does file name need to be

[wintry brook]

modName.json would work

[obsidian nexus]

[SOLVED]: #💻・modding-dev message

Hello, I am creating a small mod and I want to update the multiplicator of a card with the number of stone cards in the full deck x2

Here is my code:

update = function(self, card, dt)
    if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN then
        local new_mult = 0

        for _, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
            if v.ability.name == "Stone Card" then
                new_mult = new_mult + 1
            end
        end

        self.ability.extra.curr_mult = self.ability.extra.curr_mult*new_mult
    end
end

However, it doesn't work. I used the Sandshrew card from pokermon as an example

[cerulean rose]

check stone joker from vanilla

[obsidian nexus]

Also if there are some docs about different contexts I'm interested

[cerulean rose]

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

[obsidian nexus]

I can't find the code for the vanilla jokers

[cerulean rose]

extract balatro.exe as a zip

[proper stratus]

heyo! final thing,
this code works, but it only copies the first card
even if i have multiple cards with fecundity, all of them trigger, but they all copy the first one

dont mind the rats

[obsidian nexus]

yes, i saw the card.lua but i cant find the calculate functions, if there are any

[tepid crow]

RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS

[cerulean rose]

ctrl-f the joker name

[proper stratus]

RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS RATS

[cerulean rose]

🐀

[proper stratus]

anyway yeah idk why it does that lol

i just yoinked the code from DNA so thats probably it

but idk what the actual problem is in the script

oh wait

im dumb

just a second lemme try something

[distant aurora]

i apologize if this is a stupid question, but i installed DebugPlus, how would i use it to spawn my custom joker i made into a round?

[proper stratus]

hover over it in the collection and press 3!

all the keybinds are in a text file in the mod

[distant aurora]

oh awesoem tysm!

[proper stratus]

mhm!

[ionic verge]

is it possible to define a new function for a custom joker

[proper stratus]

im pretty sure, yes

[ionic verge]

something like this

[proper stratus]

i saw cryptid doing something like that when i was peruzing

[cerulean rose]

you can do that

[tepid crow]

or just hold tab

[proper stratus]

OH WOW

[ionic verge]

oh wait

it needs a comma

lol

[proper stratus]

yeah thats useful

[ionic verge]

this needed that comma

alright my idea didnt work

[proper stratus]

im pretty sure it has something to do with this, it being the first card in the full hand, but i tried a bunch of ways of removing this and nothin works

[vivid forge]

hello, i've just finished making my first joker. it works perfectly, but... did i need THAT many checks in the if statement for it to work? i know end_of_round is one of the trickiest contexts, but if someone knows a better way, please give me some feedback

[obsidian nexus]

Thanks @cerulean rose , it works now !

update = function(self, card, dt)
    if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN then
        self.ability.extra.curr_mult = 0

        for _, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
            if v.config.center == G.P_CENTERS.m_stone then -- strange thing with m_stone
                self.ability.extra.curr_mult = self.ability.extra.curr_mult + 1
            end
        end

    self.ability.extra.curr_mult = self.ability.extra.mult*self.ability.extra.curr_mult
    end
end

Here is the updated code if anyone has the same problem

[cerulean rose]

seems very similar to golden joker

[runic pecan]

I think you only need the end_of_round one.
Go look up “Joker Calculation” in Steammod document if you want to learn more.

[proper stratus]

its slightly different because its before the calculation so interest goes up

[vivid forge]

^

[high sable]

How would I go about making a visual mod for the game?

[vivid forge]

Crashes the game if its only that one

and yes i did check out the that guide while making this

[violet void]

The crash was caused by the repetition context

[vivid forge]

rolo helped me to fix the joker, it pretty much requires many of those checks or else it crashes the game or gives a lot of money by retriggering itself
we wanted to know if there's some suggestions for optimization

[ionic verge]

the problem:
i am trying to tell the description what my joker (mimic joker, copies a random joker each round) what joker it is copying this round, and i have no idea how to do that
does anyone have any input on that?

[cerulean rose]

#1300851004186820690

[high sable]

Thank you

[vagrant cedar]

Does anyone know the simplest way to make it so specific Jokers can't be in shop if you have another in the list

[ionic verge]

kinda like michelle and cavendish?

[vagrant cedar]

I mean I guess

[ionic verge]

ill be honest, no idea

[vagrant cedar]

the opposite tho

[ionic verge]

oh yeah good point

[vagrant cedar]

I have 10 Jokers that override the background music, and I don't want you to be able to have multiple of them, as only one can do the effect at a time

[dusk harness]

i have looked around and could not figure out how to get all the available vouchers, is there someone that can help me with that?

i've looked around in the game couldnt and couldnt figure it out

[cerulean rose]

they're in SMODS.Centers alongside other center-type objects

you'd have to figure out which in that list are vouchers

[dusk harness]

whats in Centers, what define center type objects?

[cerulean rose]

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

[cerulean rose]

use the in_pool method
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Center#api-methods

[vagrant cedar]

I keep being directed here, this is like the 10th time today no joke and I've said every time that I have no clue what I'm looking at

I see the in pool

I'm aware I need to use that

How

[cerulean rose]

you specify a function that returns whether the joker is allowed to spawn

it's defined in the same place as calculate

[ionic verge]

can i bump this?
i really would appreciate some help with this as im completely out of ideas

[cerulean rose]

card.ability.extra.selectedJoker

if it's pointing at a Card object, it would be card.ability.extra.selectedJoker.config.center

[vagrant cedar]

so inside calculate

or like before

[cerulean rose]

before

[ionic verge]

so thatll give the name of the selected joker?

[cerulean rose]

no, that'll give the center of the joker

[tepid crow]

you should be able to add a tooltip with the center digitaldetective just gave you

[cerulean rose]

if you want the name inline, maybe check HOOK://

[worthy stirrup]

Is a x2 folder needed?

[vagrant cedar]

ok i'm not gonna lie I'm just getting more confused staring at this webpage

Yet again

[cerulean rose]

yes

[ionic verge]

its used for pixel smoothing

[cerulean rose]

...
in_pool = function(self, args)
    // put code here
end,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
...

[worthy stirrup]

Ah, if I turn off pixel smoothing, it uses x1?

[cerulean rose]

yes

[worthy stirrup]

Thank you

[vagrant cedar]

I understand I have to use the in pool function.

How do I use it.

What code goes there?!

Nothing is on the page for that

[cerulean rose]

return true if the joker is allowed to spawn

return false if it isn't

[vagrant cedar]

ok but how do I specify that I want it to spawn when the other Jokers aren't there

This is just a static do or don't spawn

[cerulean rose]

no, it's a function

use SMODS.find_card to check if you have a certain card

here's an example from a custom blind i made

in_pool = function(self)
    if G.GAME.round_resets.ante < 3 then
        return false
    end
    for k, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        if not v.ability.pinned then
            return true
        end
    end
    return false
end,

this makes the blind only spawn if you have a joker without pinned and are on at least ante 3

[ionic verge]

but dont i want the name of it so i can put that in local_vars?
(sorry if im not sayin anything useful im so tired of working on this guy)

[cerulean rose]

check how cryptid's HOOK:// gets the name of a joker

[ionic verge]

ok

[vagrant cedar]

so would it look something like what I put in the first Joker here?

[cerulean rose]

the idea is right

the code is completely malformatted though

[vagrant cedar]

heard, sorry, very new to this

[cerulean rose]

it would be

in_pool = function(self, args)
    return not SMODS.find_card("j_MUSC_inrainbows")
end,

[vagrant cedar]

so is that telling the pool to no longer have those cards if this function is ran?

that would make inrainbows impossible to grab if I have davidbyrne ?

[cerulean rose]

no, the function is evaluated when the joker pool is determined

so that means that davidbyrne can't appear if you have inrainbows

[vagrant cedar]

ah

so the other way around

[cerulean rose]

yes

[vagrant cedar]

ok

So before I embark on my journey

I must ask one final question

[cerulean rose]

🦈

[vagrant cedar]

I have 10 Jokers that this must be compatible with

Do I just do this for 9 on all 10

Or is there a global function

[cerulean rose]

there isnt a global function by default

[ionic verge]

this is it?

what's happening here?

[cerulean rose]

but you could define a function in your file

[cerulean rose]

it's localizing the joker key

so that it will display the joker's name in the selected language

[dusk harness]

i dont see anything starting with v_ there's only packs and celestial

[tepid crow]

the list is a lot bigger than that

and the vouchers should indeed be in there 🤔

[dusk harness]

        for k, v in pairs(SMODS.Centers) do
            sendMessageToConsole("Info", nil, k)
            --if starts_with(SMODS.Centers[k], "v_") then
            --    sendMessageToConsole("Info", nil, string.format("voucher : [%s]", dump(SMODS.Centers[k])))
            --end
        end```
am i doing something wrong?

[tepid crow]

weird

oh

you're checking the SMODS pool

[vagrant cedar]

in_pool = function(self, args)
return not SMODS.find_card("j_MUSC_inrainbows") and not SMODS.find_card("j_MUSC_nwa")
end,

[tepid crow]

which only has the modded stuff

[vagrant cedar]

Is this what it would look like to make it do it for 2

[tepid crow]

try G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Voucher instead

[dusk harness]

ok brb

[cerulean rose]

wait actually you should add , true to the call if debuffed jokers should count

see the docs for SMODS.find_card
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility

[dusk harness]

returns a bunch of indexes

[tepid crow]

then try the value not the key?

[vagrant cedar]

it says , count_debuffed instead of true

But I got you

[cerulean rose]

count_debuffed is the parameter name

[vagrant cedar]

oh

, count_debuffed = true ? or just , true

[proper stratus]

hey! im back :3 can anyone help with this?

[cerulean rose]

isn't that the pool of vouchers that can spawn currently

so it wouldn't include all vouchers

[wintry solar]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/calculate_functions bettercalc calculation guide is roughly done

[dusk harness]

no value, its so weird

[cerulean rose]

replace context.full_hand[1] with card

[tepid crow]

wtf

[wintry solar]

print value.key

[proper stratus]

that was it!

thank you very much

[dusk harness]

ill try to print a different way

brb

[proper stratus]

now to make it a 1 in 4 and the sigil is completely done!

[tepid crow]

I mean

printing the value should've printed something or crashed 🤔

[dusk harness]

i might have been stupid brb

i didnt do my string.format correctly

[tepid crow]

what'd you do 👀

[wintry solar]

I mean the value is a table so if he's trying to manipulate it as a string it wont like that

[tepid crow]

yeah but it should've crashed if he tried to concat it with a string

unless he just misspelled the value variable in the code

[solar eagle]

im at a wall here, i have this joker that crashes with this
the intent is that whenever a king or jack is discarded, 32 chips are added to a pool. then when a queen is scored, that queen is upgraded by however large the pool is (similar to hiker)

however it crashes whenever a king or jack is discarded with this error

and im not quite sure why

[dusk harness]

i forgot to put [%s] in my string in the string.format("voucher : [%s]", dump(v))

[solar eagle]

poking in the game source for these functions didnt help unfortunately

[tepid crow]

Ah. This is why I hate having to format my prints

just let me print(var)

[dusk harness]

yup using the proper syntax for string.format does help

[dusk harness]

or let me do like f"voucher {var}" you know

[tepid crow]

a fellow pythonista in my lua modding-dev, I love it

[wintry solar]

I don't understand why you're formatting it anyway

[tepid crow]

do you have the full error?

[solar eagle]

yea give me a second

[cerulean rose]

not sure what the issue is, but i feel like 32 should be stored in the card config
also when would it be nil?

[solar eagle]

ooh wait this is an old version of the code

hold up

that was when i improperly referenced variables

this is up to date

[solar eagle]

what for?

its a hardcoded value either way

[tepid crow]

also card = self is usually wrong in steamodded code, but I'm not sure that's the cause of the crash

[cerulean rose]

heyo rq can someone code review me here

for i = #G.playing_cards, 1, -1 do
    local card = G.playing_cards[i]
    if SMODS.has_enhancement(G.playing_cards[i], "m_pencil_diseased") then
        G.playing_cards[i].ability.remaining = G.playing_cards[i].ability.remaining - 1
        if G.playing_cards[i].ability.remaining <= 0 then
            G.playing_cards[i]:remove()
        end
    end
end

this is in a lovely patch btw

[solar eagle]

its crashing when a card is discarded so i doubt it

[cerulean rose]

make it changeable by cryptid glitched or oversaturated

[solar eagle]

but i can try

ooh i see

give me a sec to get the full error

[dusk harness]

cause i cant just print a table, and i hate that

[cerulean rose]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility

[wintry solar]

but why do you want to print the full table? it's almost all entirely useless for what you're trying to do

[solar eagle]

Local variables:
 self = table: 0x09273540  {F_GUIDE:false, F_CRASH_REPORTS:false, F_QUIT_BUTTON:true, HUD_tags:table: 0x09a63d60 (more...)}
 dt = number: 0.00353747
(13) Lua field 'update' at file 'main.lua:996'
Local variables:
 dt = number: 0.00353747
(14) Lua function '?' at file 'main.lua:935' (best guess)
(15) global C function 'xpcall'
(16) LÖVE function at file 'boot.lua:377' (best guess)
Local variables:
 func = Lua function '?' (defined at line 906 of chunk main.lua)
 inerror = boolean: true
 deferErrhand = Lua function '(LÖVE Function)' (defined at line 348 of chunk [love "boot.lua"])
 earlyinit = Lua function '(LÖVE Function)' (defined at line 355 of chunk [love "boot.lua"])```
and also this as well (sry for wall)

[wintry solar]

it's probably unhappy that the message is a number rather than a stirng

[solar eagle]

yea thats what i figured

interesting error tho

[tepid crow]

ah yeah that's probably it

[solar eagle]

guess i gotta go figure out how to force lua variable to be string or something.

[tepid crow]

tostring should work

[solar eagle]

and vice versa?

[cerulean rose]

or use localize with a +chips message

[vagrant cedar]

Digital my man

I think the code worked too well

They don't seem to be appearing in shop at all now

[solar eagle]

how'd i go abt doing this?

im very new to lua and balatro modding in general i have no idea how i got any of my other jokers working

[vagrant cedar]

I used DebugPlus to give myself $4000 and and I didn't see any of them through the rerolls

Like I couldn't even get the first one

Which is weird because previously they were showing up frequently

[cerulean rose]

localize({ type = "variable", key = "a_chips", vars = { card.ability.extra.pool } })

[solar eagle]

oooooh

thank you!!

how would i put this in a description though? or does this produce a string

[cerulean rose]

oh i thought you meant for the message

[solar eagle]

no im pretty sure the issue is

"{C:inactive}(Currently {C:chips}+#1#{C:inactive} Chips)"

[cerulean rose]

no, don't think so

[solar eagle]

oh wait im stupid

i understand what u mean

maybe i should go to bed Anyway thank you!!

[cerulean rose]

if it's crashing when trying to display a message then

[solar eagle]

yea i got it

[vagrant cedar]

@cerulean rose

[dusk harness]

ok, so now that i get the voucher list, how do i add all of them to the current shop?

[tepid crow]

why? 🤔

[dusk harness]

cause im trying to unlock everything so testing things is easier

[cerulean rose]

can you send the in_pool function again

[cerulean rose]

use #1228149931257237664

[tepid crow]

what's wrong with https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664 ?

[dusk harness]

i didnt know it existed

[vagrant cedar]

here's just the first joker

[limpid flint]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1293698461568471154

[cerulean rose]

not sure why that's not working

[solar eagle]

ok nice it no longer crashes i just have to fix up some other issues

thank you!

[cerulean rose]

try adding a print for each SMODS.find_card call

[vagrant cedar]

where do I add this print

[tepid crow]

a true XY problem case

[cerulean rose]

do it in the joker_main

and then play a hand

[wintry solar]

that is a crazy way of setting a pool of joekrs to be unique

[vagrant cedar]

thank you thank you

[cerulean rose]

oh what would you reccomend?

[vagrant cedar]

i have NO CLUE what's happening

[wintry solar]

in_pool = function(self)
  if G.GAME.MUSC_present then return false end
end,
add_to_deck = function(self)
  G.GAME.MUSC_present = true
end,
remove_from_deck = function(self)
  G.GAME.MUSC_present = false
end

something like this

[cerulean rose]

wouldn't work if you have multiple

through showman

[vagrant cedar]

You're not supposed to have multiple through showman of this bad boy tho

[cerulean rose]

actually how does showman interact with in_pool?

[vagrant cedar]

well if he appears you shouldn't take him

[cerulean rose]

not how this works

[vagrant cedar]

what

My jokers don't interact with each other, if you take an additional it doesn't do anything

[wintry solar]

in_pool overrides showman iirc

[cerulean rose]

right but having multiple would break the add/remove deck method

[vagrant cedar]

That's why I said you shouldn't take one through showman

[vagrant cedar]

Why would you have multiple

[wintry solar]

but you wouldn't be able to have multiple

[cerulean rose]

we're talking about what happens if you do

[vagrant cedar]

Don't

[cerulean rose]

you said you shouldn't take one through showman, implying that it's possible

you should never rely on the player's good will

[cerulean rose]

especially for something so technical

[vagrant cedar]

Like this?

[cerulean rose]

wait does returning nil from in_pool act as true!?

cus i'd think you would just do

in_pool = function(self)
    return not G.GAME.MUSC_present
end,

[solar eagle]

            local value = context.other_card:get_id()
            print("card scored")
            print(value)
            if value == 12 then
                print("queen?")
                print(card.ability.extra.pool)
                context.other_card.ability.perma_bonus =
                    context.other_card.ability.perma_bonus + card.ability.extra.pool
                    return {
                        message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                        colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                        card = card
                    }
            end```
next question - this section is not working properly, ive verified through the console that its properly detecting queens but the upgrade bit never shows and the card isn't upgraded

any more ideas... i feel bad for asking

[wintry solar]

returning nil treats it as true yes

or rather, it treats it as not being there and goes off base logic

[cerulean rose]

oh that makes sense

[solar eagle]

the perma_bonus section was gotten from balatro's card.lua and looking for hiker-related code

[vagrant cedar]

Ok so I don't know what's going on

They were appearing in shop before

Now none of them appear

[solar eagle]

hmm i need to figure out why this card is resetting every hand

[vagrant cedar]

Same as the last code

It's almost what I want

But they don't have a first one appear

I rerolled 100+ times

They work when I spawn them in through DebugPlus

But they just aren't appearing in shop

They were before this in_pool stuff

[solar eagle]

ok wait

it seems to be

that the pool variable is getting reset

and i have no idea why

[cerulean rose]

seems like in_pool isn't working rn

[vagrant cedar]

Odd

[solar eagle]

this is so weird

do config variables reset each hand?

[cerulean rose]

no

[tepid crow]

?

[tepid crow]

Reset to nil?

[solar eagle]

ok why the flip is mine

no to 0

each hand my pool variable gets reset to 0

before scoring happens

and i have no idea why

[cerulean rose]

actually this isn't true

check 2XPWACI4 with strange pencil

normally calendar spawns in the first shop

but if you add

in_pool = function(self)
end,

to calendar's code it doesn't appear

[cerulean rose]

so try this

[vagrant cedar]

Will try

[solar eagle]

i am silly

i set it manually

misread how joker scoring works .

ok part of it is now working

[pulsar flower]

i've patched in a few blind callbacks of my own, but they don't activate matador. is there a standard way to trigger it in those cases?

i could probably loop over all the jokers every time and trigger it manually but that doesn't seem ideal

[cerulean rose]

G.GAME.blind.triggered = true

[pulsar flower]

that's what i thought, but that doesn't seem to have worked

[cerulean rose]

works fine for me

[pulsar flower]

i think i'd need to call calculate joker with the debuff context

hm, no, matador checks the triggered variable directly

[misty anchor]

Im new to the modded balatro comunity and have been trying to get my game working but it eventually crashes and i dont know what to do to fix it

can someone help me?

[cerulean rose]

try adding a print to see if that line even executes

[cerulean rose]

send crash log

[pulsar flower]

the line does execute, i put it right before the actual action

what i think might be happening is that the blind does get triggered, but matador isn't calculated yet and the moment you play a hand again since there's nothing to debuff it returns to normal, and matador doesn't trigger

[misty anchor]

do you want me to dm it to you strange

[pulsar flower]

since i'm not triggering the blind around the time a calculate_joker happens

[cerulean rose]

no send it here

[misty anchor]

ok

[cerulean rose]

known issue with cryptid on the newest steammodded

[misty anchor]

ok how do i fix it

[cerulean rose]

use this instead
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/releases/tag/old-calc

[cerulean rose]

do you set the variable after matador would trigger?

[misty anchor]

Thank you so much Detective that worked

[cerulean rose]

please call me detective

[misty anchor]

oh sorry

[cerulean rose]

its cool

😎

[pulsar flower]

maybe in one of the cases i'm dealing with, but i also set it right before the discard calculation and in one of the blind's press_play, and neither worked

i'm not sure if i'm missing something

[cerulean rose]

should work on press_play i'd think

but setting it on discard wouldn't work since matador doesn't trigger in that context

and it gets cleared when a hand is played

[pulsar flower]

oh well

[vagrant cedar]

ok so I tried this one

They appear in shop again

Good

They appear in shop while owning the other Jokers though

Bad

I did notice an error as I was going through though that might have caused it, so I'm going to try one more thing and see if that fixes it

Nope they just don't appear in shop at all now

Ok

here's what it looks like right now

They spawn, they play the music, all that works

But they keep appearing in shop

[cerulean rose]

put back the other two functions

[lapis summit]

hello balatro modding chat
i am brand new to modding this game. as in like
45 minutes ago new
so please excuse me if i come back here frequently with dumb or obvious questions

[solar eagle]

dw

im similar i somehow managed to slap together a joker or two and now im deciding to add a new hand

[cerulean rose]

theres lots of people like that here

everyone's been that person at some point

[lapis summit]

word

ok

[wintry brook]

would this not work?

[cerulean rose]

context???

[tepid crow]

just tried to auto-roll for a modded joker from a mod I don't even have enabled, no wonder it couldn't find a seed 🤦‍♂️

[wintry brook]

just calling G.P_CENTERS with the center key like that

[wooden nexus]

Ditpyrc spriting go brrrrr

(i literally just changed the sprite colors ngl)

[tight thistle]

hello! does anybody know how to make a joker delete a single random card of a specific rank?

[wintry brook]

i want to set a cards sprite by using another cards center key but it isnt really working

nevermind it works

[cerulean rose]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/commit/90681d942e141c2e9dc032924424de8d76512ea9
how would i distinguish a real card from a tooltip like this?

i have an enhancement description which makes no sense without an actual card existing, so i have a special collection description

[vagrant cedar]

That was the one that caused nothing to happen at all

None to appear ever

[solar eagle]

check to make sure parameters exist?

or you can check for fake_card

[cerulean rose]

no, it was the previous implementation of info_queue that did that

[vagrant cedar]

I'm confused

[vagrant cedar]

I tried this and it didn't work

[cerulean rose]

put back add_to_deck and remove_from_deck

but use my version of info_queue

[cerulean rose]

(thats me btw)

(if i read the fucking commit i would've realized that)

[solar eagle]

yea..

it helps

[vagrant cedar]

I see the difference in the two now

I didn't know what info_queue meant

I see how the two versions are different besides the add_to_deck and remove_from_deck now though

Adding the add and remove back in

[cerulean rose]

wait no not info_queue

in_pool

i'm stupid

or dyslexic

or both

[solar eagle]

many such cases. unfortunately

[cerulean rose]

@vagrant cedar

[vagrant cedar]

ok now i feel slightly justified in being confused lmao

i fixed it though

it works now

I appreciate the help @cerulean rose @wintry solar

[gilded narwhal]

hey how do I get these guys to not trigger every frame

[lapis summit]

how exactly do i go about testing my mod?
really i just want to do a simple asset replacement mod. im not super interested in poking around in the code for now
ive been cautious to backup any files i want to change before i do irreparable damage to my game that cannot be undone

[cerulean rose]

#1300851004186820690

[lapis summit]

thanks

[solar eagle]

im creating a custom hand and it does properly detect

however, the cards dont score

here's the code i have

im probably missing something cause the documentation on poker hands is VERY sparse but

[wraith topaz]

Art of The Deal has released Version 1

[wintry brook]

does anyone know where the code that sets the cards into G.play might be

[turbid violet]

hey guys quick question, trying to add/change some of jimbo's quotes, currently using the localization files but they aren't loading in, does steamodded use a different path for it or am missing something?

[ionic verge]

is there a way to have a joker not appear in the collection?

[cerulean rose]

whats inside

[turbid violet]

of?

[cerulean rose]

localization

[runic pecan]

Is "Stone cards give +81,800 chips" too straightforward for a Legendary-like joker?

[cerulean rose]

no

[turbid violet]

just the language files, currently editing en_us

[cerulean rose]

hm, not sure

[runic pecan]

Wrap the whole SMODS.Joker in a if statement.

[cerulean rose]

no

don't do that

use no_collection in the center

[cerulean rose]

make sure your new entries are in the right sub‐table

[cerulean rose]

just insanely op

[turbid violet]

just replaced lq=1 with the quote i wanted but it didn't get replaced in-game

[cerulean rose]

huh?

[turbid violet]

the lose quotes, that's how they're named in the lua file

[cerulean rose]

can you send the file?

[turbid violet]

sure

[cerulean rose]

woah thats a lot

you only need to return the entries you're changing

[hardy viper]

ya don't return things you aren't changing that's very bad

[turbid violet]

i see, i'm pretty new to this so i just thought editing the files would do the trick

but do i need to do something in order for the game to read it?

[hardy viper]

oh wait huh

you're just editing the files?

[turbid violet]

the one on the steamodded folder yeah

[hardy viper]

generally for localization changes you make a steamodded mod as usual and place an en_us.lua (and/or other languages you want to support) in the same folder as your mod

and then you can just return whatever fields you're changing and omit the rest

[cerulean rose]

yeah, just like minecraft resource packs

[turbid violet]

okay, that makes more sense, is there a guide i can look up for how to make a mod in the first place? kinda just the first time i tinker with stuff like this

[cerulean rose]

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

[turbid violet]

awesome, thanks!

[gilded narwhal]

is this cursed

[cerulean rose]

yes

[hardy viper]

yes because it won't work

[gilded narwhal]

I mean

[cerulean rose]

oh yeah that too

[gilded narwhal]

It did

[cerulean rose]

no

test again with a non-mega

[gilded narwhal]

nvm my bad

[cerulean rose]

also you should either check the number of cards to choose

[hardy viper]

("a" == "b" or "c") -> true

[cerulean rose]

or make a table for mega booster packs like cryptid's meme pack pool

[hardy viper]

("a" == "b" or "a" == "c") -> false

[tight thistle]

how does this work, exactly?

[hardy viper]

every jokers calculate function is called with the context you see there, for every card in hand
if any of them return then the card is destroyed

actually

that might be left to the joker

[gilded narwhal]

this doesn't work either

[hardy viper]

local allowed_names = {
 mega_blahblah = true,
 mega_blag2 = true,
 ...
}
if allowed_names[SMODS.OPENED_BOOSTER.config.center.key] then
 --blah blah
end

[gilded narwhal]

Damn was that obvious and I'm just silly

[hardy viper]

i wouldn't call it obvious dw

[gilded narwhal]

I'm curious tho why doesn't this work?

[hardy viper]

can't say for sure without knowing what that variable does/where it's set

[tight thistle]

how is this code used, if you dont mind me asking? im trying to get my joker's effect to destroy cards working and nothing seems to work

[runic pecan]

    if [context.destroying_card is a card you want to destroy] then
    return true
    end
end```

[hardy viper]

this except without the misspelling destroying part

[runic pecan]

yeah, my bad.

fixed it.

[cerulean rose]

you should probably make this modifiable by other mods somehow (so that modded mega booster packs can also work properly)

[gilded narwhal]

colon three

[hardy viper]

you can also just string.find(key, "mega")

[cerulean rose]

thats also not great cus it enforces making keys for your objects a specific way

[gilded narwhal]

Yk mod compat is completely broken with my mod anyway so I'm not gonna worry about it

[cerulean rose]

aight

[runic pecan]

Change to _mega_ in case anyone want to name their comsumeables "Omega card"

[gilded narwhal]

Speaking of which is there a way to disable mods on a specific condition or do I have to like ask ppl "hey could you disable all other mods pls"

[tepid crow]

me adding a timegate_normal_1 pack

[cerulean rose]

you're thinking of the conflicts key!

[hardy viper]

string.find(key, "[^o]mega")

[tight thistle]

ah, im afraid i dont quite understand the if [context.destroying_card is a card you want to destroy], could you elaborate a bit?

[cerulean rose]

just don't search string the key

[tepid crow]

pretty sure that doesn't work for the one I posted 👀

[hardy viper]

i was not referring to what you posted

[cerulean rose]

return whether you want the card to be destroyed

[tepid crow]

fair enough

[hardy viper]

regardless if you aren't putting mega in the key of a mega pack that's on you

[cerulean rose]

but many many errant matches

just use a modifiable table okay!?

[hardy viper]

?

[runic pecan]

context.destroying_card casts through each played card, and you or your joker has to decide whether each card has to stay or go.

[tepid crow]

I disagree, string find is the better approach

[hardy viper]

you aren't seeing mega in the key of a pack that isn't a mega

not unless the mod prefix happens to be mega

you could fix that with more pattern but meh

[tepid crow]

I mean the _mega_ riv suggested seemed pretty idiot-proof

[hardy viper]

".-_.-_[^o]mega" would work
as for this you cant guarantee the mega is surrounded by underscores (e.g blah_pack_mega or blah-mega-pack

[runic pecan]

Exept when someone decides to not do _1 & _2 and just _mega

[hardy viper]

are underscores taken literally in lua patterns

okay they are

[tepid crow]

actually already found one, p_bunc_virtual_mega

[hardy viper]

if we really want to go into it we can search the name and description as well as the key

surely it's not too complicated

[tepid crow]

and here's one with the opposite problem mega_d6_jokers_pack

[hardy viper]

this reigns supreme

[runic pecan]

But I think the real condition should be [if you can choose 2 card from this pack or other amount].

[tight thistle]

...i still cant get the destroying effect to work

[hardy viper]

not if you have a joker that artificially increases number of choices

which is a lot of mods nowadays

oh wait

you can check center

[tepid crow]

that's equivalent to this regex .*?_.*?_[^o]mega right?

[cerulean rose]

heres another one, p_pencil_index_mega

[tepid crow]

forgot the underscores

oop

[hardy viper]

in this context all this does is make it more expensive

you can guarantee there's gonna be two underscores in the key before a mega can appear

[tepid crow]

no I just suck at lua patterns so I need to convert it to regex in my mind to understand it

[hardy viper]

does generic regex not have -

[tepid crow]

that's the *?

[hardy viper]

is * not "match 0 or more of the previous character, as many as possible"

[runic pecan]

I searched the channel and found that you've asked how to "delete a single random card of a specific rank".
Do you want to delete them when they're played, scored, or held in hand?

[tepid crow]

yeah and the ? makes it lazy

[hardy viper]

- in a lua pattern will match 0 or more of the previous character, as few as possible

[tepid crow]

also known as a lazy 0 or more

[hardy viper]

not sure what you mean by making it lazy

[tepid crow]

right?

lazy means match shortest possible string

[cerulean rose]

yes

[hardy viper]

that feels like unnecessary complexity but i guess that's what regex is all about

[tight thistle]

scored

[tepid crow]

what feels unnecessarily complex to me are lua patterns

that mf is barely documented

[hardy viper]

https://www.lua.org/pil/20.2.html
does this not cover everything

[runic pecan]

Can we see the part of code that you said not being working?

[tender gale]

I'm trying to add a new type of consumable called Zodiac cards. Currently I'm just trying to see if I can get them to show up in the collection in-game. However whenever I try to access the collection I get this error:

How could I fix it?

I apologize if my code is bad, it's my first time modding

[runic pecan]

did you put the sprites in both 1x and 2x?

[hardy viper]

oh wait

i forgor

lemme just delete that message

[tender gale]

yes

[runic pecan]

in ui.lua:
which probably means it needs alpha value

[tepid crow]

Seems to cover everything (if you also include 20.3). A shame that it's not documentation for the most recent version of Lua

[hardy viper]

nobody uses 5.4 anyways am i right...

right guys .m rightj....

[tepid crow]

Thunk sure doesn't >:D

[hardy viper]

regardless, if you want 5.4 documentation for patterns, it's at https://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/manual.html#6.4.1

i think it's the same but w/e

[runic pecan]

You need to drag if context.destroying_card out of if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play ... statement

[tight thistle]

oh

[gilded narwhal]

this activates regardless of if I bought something or not

[hardy viper]

context.individual and context.destroying_card are mutually exclusive

[hardy viper]

more context needed

[tight thistle]

understood, thank you

[gilded narwhal]

I mean these are the only two functions that are part of it. I'm trying to make it so it gives 2 hands and discards if you leave the shop without buying anything

[hardy viper]

and i can't verify things are where they should be in terms of scope if i can't see where they are in relation to each other

[tepid crow]

right but it sucks that this better version isn't even on my first page of google

[hardy viper]

we must have different googles then

[tepid crow]

I just googled "lua patterns" in a private tab?

[hardy viper]

unsurprising then

afaik if you want 5.4 you have to specify 5.4

[tepid crow]

makes me wonder why their url isn't /manual/latest/manual.html

[gilded narwhal]

Its just this

[tepid crow]

you're not storing cards_bought anywhere

(also you're resetting the value every time you call the function regardless)

[runic pecan]

I suggest you put cards_bought in config.extra and reset it every round.

[tepid crow]

can just reset it in context.ending_shop yeah

[gilded narwhal]

Alright I'll make a few changes and see if that works

I can also make the local boss_hands... stuff into the config

Okay this works !

[tight thistle]

thank you! this worked

now i just need to figure out how to make it destroy only one random king rather than every single scored king

[gilded narwhal]

599 lines of code in lua and 11 lovely patches

Most advanced thing I've ever managed to program

[foggy carbon]

in context.selling_card can I see what card was sold?

[runic pecan]

When if context.scoring_hand, make a list of the scoring kings, randomly choose one, and then store it in config.extra.
And then if context.destroying_card and context.destroying_card == card.ability.extra.[that card] then return true end

[wintry solar]

https://github.com/Steamodded/Wiki/blob/master/Calculate Functions.md

[runic pecan]

Exactly...?
Doesn't need an "in", it IS the card that's being sold.

[gilded narwhal]

love this

[wintry solar]

You’ll want to select your card, probably in a prior scoring step like joker_main and then just check that card matches in destroying card

[wintry solar]

This is incorrect, selling_card is a Boolean

[wild patrol]

Explain Boolean in counter strike terms

[cerulean rose]

yes or no

[cerulean rose]

context.card

[foggy carbon]

yeah, I got that working, but it doesn't display a message?

[sturdy compass]

Do you have a message in your localization called k_drinkme?

[foggy carbon]

yes

it could just be that selling_card isn't intended to display messages?

[sturdy compass]

That could be the case

I wonder if you could circumvent that with card_eval_status_text

[wintry solar]

What smods version ?

[foggy carbon]

1.0.0-alpha-1304a

[wintry solar]

That’s why the message won’t work

[foggy carbon]

?

[wintry solar]

Old calc is very restrictive in what you can return from a calculate function, you should be developing on better calc

[foggy carbon]

ahh

[tender gale]

Is there a way to use {X:} to display a custom colour that isn't a suit colour or CHips or Mult?

If so, how

[wintry solar]

Add your colour to the loc_colour table

[tender gale]

How do I do that

[onyx inlet]

I’m going to bookmark this ^_^ thank you!

[wild patrol]

What's the best way to find a card function in the vanilla game

To implement into a custom card

Just curious

So not playing needle in a Heystack

[runic pecan]

Ctrl+F
or ask it on this channel

[wild patrol]

I guess what's the most common phrase used in a function

Just look through functions

[runic pecan]

globals.lua and functions/misc_functions.lua

[wintry solar]

Only loc_colour in misc_functions, the others in global aren’t used for description text

[wintry brook]

ive heard about quantum enhancements but what exactly are those

[wintry solar]

Quantum enhancements makes cards function as if they had enhancements without actually having the enhancement, you could say 6s count as gold cards for example

[foggy carbon]

so, I downloaded the newest smods and...

looks like it should be fine if I knew where card.lua was?

found it.

@wintry solar

[wintry solar]

There’s nothing missing there

[foggy carbon]

the line originally was G.jokers.replace(card) return nil, true return nil, true

and it goes back to that whenever I try to run the game

[wintry solar]

Screenshot mods folder pls

[wintry solar]

How did you download smods?

[foggy carbon]

from github

[wintry solar]

Using git or direct download?

[wintry solar]

Delete it and try downloading again

[foggy carbon]

it worked

guess I got a small corruption in the download first time?

[wintry solar]

You didn’t clean up the old version you had properly so there were some duplicate patches

[wild patrol]

Since my code is unorganized as hell is it possible to have jokers and consumables in the code or do I have to make a separate Lua

[runic pecan]

Short answer: YES.

[wild patrol]

Alright

Just gonna duck tape and glue this mod because I can't figure out custom booster pack lol

Guess my next question would be what's the best way to make a card you can add to ur deck

Similar to rock card but the card can actually do something

[wintry brook]

like an enhancement? or something more special

[wild patrol]

Nutshell

Pot of greed in the deck

Instead of being like a number card it's like a consumable that stays in ur deck every round

[wintry brook]

cryptid made consumeable playing cards, but they destroy themself when used so i imagine for what you want you'd have to either disable destroying them or make a copy secretly

if you want an easy way to do it, i dont think there is one

[runic pecan]

Sound like purple seal but draws playing cards instead of creating a tarot card

[wild patrol]

I wonder if it is possible to combine the function of playing a hand

But it doesn't count towards the number hands u play

I wonder if I can find the function in the vanilla game

Can I use vanilla game functions or are we restricted to what smod allows

[wintry brook]

you can use anything the base game uses

[wild patrol]

I'll just try duck taping and gluing some code together from the vanilla game

Hey as long as it works

[wintry brook]

you can even override base game functions, although im not sure thats ideal

[runic pecan]

Isn't there a blind that draw 3 cards no matter how many are played or discarded?
Look into its code.

[wild patrol]

Probably

I've played the game a little bit and beaten it a few times but haven't seen everything yet

What's the key value for a booster card?
I know there's tarot, celestial, and Derek for some reason as joker

[runic pecan]

Found it.

[wild patrol]

That'll def help

Just look for the function it calls and copy paste it and modify it

[runic pecan]

functions/state_events.lua

[wild patrol]

So guessing I have to make a smod.booster
And make the key for the card key = booster?

[ionic verge]

how do i make it so a joker cant be found in the shop

[wild patrol]

What line?

[wintry brook]

define an in_pool function, i think

[ionic verge]

how would i do that, then

[wintry brook]

I havent done it for a joker but I did

        return false
end,```

[ionic verge]

cool

[wintry brook]

im not entirely sure if that works but worth a shot

[runic pecan]

functions/common_events.lua

[runic pecan]

the draw_card function

[wild patrol]

Ty

Also what's the key to add a card in to the boosters

For extra cards in ur deck

[runic pecan]

function Card:open() in card.lua
the for i = 1, _size do part

Or just look up SMODS.Booster section in SMODS.Center document.

[tender gale]

Late reply but thanks, is that in the base game?

[wild patrol]

Yeah I was about to post that

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

The smod.booster

Is what I should use correct

Unless I wanna get fancy with it

[tender gale]

ok I'll try it, thanks

[wild patrol]

Also ty for the help sorry coming off as annoying constantly asking for help but I'm more a visual learner and over the years visual guides kinda died out on how to mod games lmao

Actually went back reread the custom booster packs part of the wiki and it got easier to understand the more I fiddle with this

[runic pecan]

And then for example G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS['pink'] = G.C.PINK

[tender gale]

it just crashes

[runic pecan]

What about G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.Plus = G.C.ZPLUS

[tender gale]

same error

[wild patrol]

Value it's trying to call in LOC_Colours in ur mod doesn't exist

[tender gale]

oh

How do I fix that

[wild patrol]

Basically saying it can't find whatever it's looking for

You'll have to go to that line it says in the error message in the .lua file

And see if there's a typo in ur code or something

[tender gale]

Oh i think i know why

I had a space between HEx and brackets

No that's not it

[wild patrol]

Can u copy paste the code

with ```

People probably be able to help u of they can see it

Possibly the fiction it's calling for has a typo

[tender gale]

SMODS.Atlas {
key = "Zodiacs",
path = "Zodiacs.png",
px = 71,
py = 95
}

SMODS.ConsumableType{
key = "Zodiac",
primary_colour = HEX("123098"),
secondary_colour = HEX("5448AD"),
collection_rows = {4, 4},
shop_rate = 1,
loc_txt = {
collection = "Zodiac Cards",
name = "Zodiac",

   undiscovered = { -- description for undiscovered cards in the collection
         name = 'Unknown Sign',
         text = { 'Find me! Find me nowww' },
     },
},
can_stack = false,
can_divide = false,

}

G.C.ZPLUS = HEX("5448AD")
G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.Plus = G.C.ZPLUS
SMODS.Consumable {

},
atlas = 'Zodiacs',
pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
unlocked = true,
discovered = true,
}

Here's the entire code of the main lua lol

[wild patrol]

Which one was on line 28

[tender gale]

G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.Plus = G.C.ZPLUS

[runic pecan]

@frosty dock Does current smods allow mod maker add their custom loc_colour?

[tender gale]

Idk which smods I have actually

I'll check

[runic pecan]

(I feel like there should be a SMODS method)

[wild patrol]

Download the alpha

U might have the -old version

[tender gale]

"1.0.0~ALPHA-1220a-STEAMODDED" is my version

[wild patrol]

Maybe HEX isn't a value in the Loc_colours?

Because that's basically what the error is saying

It's saying it basically doesn't exist

Usually what a nil is

[runic pecan]

No no no, it says LOC_COLOUR was a nil value when the code is processing it

[wild patrol]

Dumb idea but is it maybe the spelling of colour

Because how some people spell is color

[tender gale]

I'm pretty sure smods uses colour

[runic pecan]

Even the Balatro source uses "colour"

[wintry solar]

Call loc_colour(‘red’) first

[runic pecan]

Or just loc_colour() if you don't want to specify

[frosty dock]

it does need an argument i think

[runic pecan]

Yeah, this way G.ARGS.COLOURS initiates before indexing

[runic pecan]

It has default return value _default or G.C.UI.TEXT_DARK

[tender gale]

That actually worked

[frosty dock]

yeah but it tries to index G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS with its argument

[tender gale]

thanks

[frosty dock]

which means it crashes if there is no argument

table index is nil

[random sleet]

wooooo more zodiac cards

[surreal marsh]

how do i use this bettercalc target 🤔

[wild patrol]

Ask it nicely

Pretty sure if u search up xmult should give u some ideas how to add it

Or I'm probably reading it wrong

[surreal marsh]

i think it means i can use a lovely patch to add another cardarea

but the message itself is from a lovely patch so how does it work

[wild patrol]

I dunno if lovely has a wiki

Maybe probably look there if it does

I'm still trying figure out smod

[surreal marsh]

ok ik

version = "1.0.0"
dump_lua = true
priority = 1```

changing my lovely file's priority to be lower than smod's

[molten ice]

smods's lovely priority has been changed to -10 for a while (since the start of january), so even keeping it to 0 would work iirc

[surreal marsh]

bettercalc is 0

[molten ice]

huhh

i guess there was a bug indeed

[wintry solar]

Better calc is zero because loads of them whiffed at -10 and we haven’t fixed it yet

[surreal marsh]

but why not -9

[sick sparrow]

anyone do you tried to animate card or have a singular card have a multiple variants?

[random sleet]

holy shit its betmma

betmma's on screen guys

[surreal marsh]

that target is another scoring card area, but how do i add another joker-like area that calculates on scoring cards? (into G.jokers.cards + G.consumables.cards)

bettercalc seems much different from a week ago

apparently needs to inject on for k = 1, #G.jokers.cards + #G.consumeables.cards do

no it's a smod file

🤪

works here

[wild patrol]

Wait hold up u can use lovely to dump functions of the game?

[wintry solar]

I don’t think that’s where you want that

[surreal marsh]

yeah lovely is to modify functions

[surreal marsh]

where should i then

[wintry solar]

In score card and calculate context

This will run in every single evaluation otherwise

Like each check of a joker for an individual card will also run it through all of your spells

Where as I think what you want is each scoring card to go through your spells once

[surreal marsh]

i think ideal place is here

[surreal marsh]

hmm my piece of code is inside main_scoring

[wild patrol]

I know it's to modify I just didn't know u could dump functions while playing the game

If that file directory means what I think it does

[surreal marsh]

file dump is during the booting screen

i think

[wintry solar]

Oh that might alright then actually, still think it should be in score card though either after or before the joker loop

[surreal marsh]

score_card is in a smod file, can i inject into that

i suppose lovely patch only works on files in vanilla game

[wild patrol]

I dunno but being able to dump game functions in real time would be a cool feature for modding

[frosty dock]

it's supposed to work but lovely 0.6.0 still crashes trying to dump it

-# 0.7.0 soon-ish maybe possibly??

[surreal marsh]

that'll be cool messing other mods' files

[tight thistle]

how do i do this? (apologies for not seeing it earlier)

[surreal marsh]

what does 142073 mean

[wild patrol]

How many lines does other card have lol

I wanna say it's line 142073 row 262 lol

But not sure lmao

[surreal marsh]

usually it's file path: line number

[frosty dock]

for some reason a buffer has the name 142073?

[random sleet]

classic

[vocal verge]

[wintry brook]

ive seen this problem before but im not sure how to fix it. i have playing cards destroying other playing cards and the game is fumbling & drawing already destroyed cards. how do i properly destroy cards in a played cards calculate function

[candid epoch]

can a consumable be used as a holdable boosterpack?

[random sleet]

you could probably have it spawn a booster pack like how tags do, but be careful on when you allow it to be used

[candid epoch]

what do you mean by that?

[random sleet]

are you using :start_dissolve or :shatter (for glass cards)? afaik those functions destroy cards "correctly"

[random sleet]

i believe there's issues with entering another booster pack while already inside one, and using one during a blind might have.... weird effects

[candid epoch]

so its best just to make it give a tag?

[wintry brook]

yes, but im not able to use them in the right context because playing cards remove themselves in context.destroying_card rather than other cards

[long sun]

You could probably do Create a Tarot / etc. pack?

Might steal that idea actually, hmm

Nah nvm ^^

[random sleet]

that seems to be the general consensus from what i've seen of that kind of effect, yeah

[merry raven]

Are there contexts to check if a blind is completed/won and also to check what ante the player is at
Trying to make a one-per-ante effect for a Joker

[summer shard]

Any clue what this issue is? and is this the place to ask?

I tried removing "jimbo's pack" already, still crashes when I accept payment

after beating a blind

I'm assuming its obvious, but sense I am new I just don't see it

[wild patrol]

this worked thank u

dunno how but it did lol

[merry raven]

context.end_of_round = true is a check to see if a Blind has been defeated right?

[wild patrol]

again thanks for letting me use ur code for this lol

[long sun]

hi! i have this condition that should trigger when Midas Mask, Runner, etc. trigger — however, it triggers after the hand is played (not before), and also triggers twice. why?? :>
if context.cardarea == G.jokers and G.GAME.current_round.hands_left == 0 and not (context.blueprint_card or self).getting_sliced and #G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then

[wild patrol]

what does SMODS.Back

do

is that just for the back texture of a card?

[night pagoda]

it's a deck

[wild patrol]

oh

SMODS.Booster
{
    key = 'yugioh',
    loc_txt { 
            name = 'Yugioh Pack',
            group_name = 'yugioh',
            text = { 'A collection of yugioh cards' }
            },
}```

hoping this is correct

trying to make custom booster pack again now that I have 6 so far

[sand oasis]

is there any documentation on how to make tarot and spectral cards?

never mind, I found SMODS.Central

(though I think having an ExamplesConsumables.lua would rock BUT i get this is free labor)

[wild patrol]

    key = "yugioh",
    path = "yugioh.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95
})

SMODS.Booster({
    loc_txt { 
            name = 'Yugioh Pack',
            group_name = 'yugioh',
            text = { 'A collection of yugioh cards' }
            },
    atlas = 'yugioh',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = 5, choose = 1 },
    weight = 1,
    cost = 4,
    group_key = 'Yugioh Booster',
    draw_hand = true,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,  
})```

Have I done this right?

[sand oasis]

fundamentally looks good, did you try it in game yet?

[wild patrol]

not yet

doesn't doo anything but create it

[sand oasis]

you can spawn boosterpacks in the shop with DebugPlus jsyk

[wild patrol]

I haven't figured out how to actually add the cards to it

not even sure it'll show up in-game

[long sun]

hmm, this joker feels a little bland — what's missing? :P

[frosty dock]

you need a create_card function for that

[long sun]

ooh wait lemme try something

[surreal marsh]

more color 🤔

[wild patrol]

ok

[long sun]

okay i like this a little more :D

might make the slant slantier though :D

[wild patrol]

no one noticed I forgor the = after loc_text

so error says i'm missing a key

i'm assuming key is booster?

[sand oasis]

i def like this better

[frosty dock]

the key is of your choosing, it just needs to be unique within your mod

[wild patrol]

ah ok

I made it bosster but i'll change it

it worked tho

[long sun]

okay, i've settled on this :D

[wild patrol]

This stuff isn't hard it's just i'm a dumbass trying to put a puzzle together lol

[sick sparrow]

daniel j. d'arby joker?

[sick sparrow]

that will be copyright infrigment, it should be sight-joker

[wooden nexus]

smh

there's a YUGIOH CARD MOD RIGHT ABOVE YOU

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

Why are you worried about copyright infringement in a balatro mod

it's not like you're monetizing it

Anyways

[wild patrol]

My dumbass struggling to figure out how to use create_card

once I can figure this out I should be set to just go crazy on this mod

[hardy viper]

you dont

technically you do but you basically dont

[wild patrol]

I just wanna do it in the simpliest way possible

[wooden nexus]

D'arby Joker:

Jacks and Queens give +10 mult when scored. Gives x2 mult instead if the hand is two pair:

(References his hand of Jacks and Queens)

[sick sparrow]

no, d'arby joker shows next 3 cards from deck

since the ability is to "see" a card's "front" when touched

[wooden nexus]

How does that have to do with D'arby?

[frosty dock]

you need to make an ObjectType, then you just do

create_card = function(self)
  return { set = 'key of your ObjectType here', area = G.pack_cards }
end

[wooden nexus]

The only thing you can MAYBE say this is referencing is the fact he has sleight of hand to memorize the ENITRE DECK

[long sun]

i'm giving this the boilerplate ability type in my pack, which is creating consumables:
(Uncommon): When Blind is selected, creates a Planet card or a copy of Strength (Must have room)

[sick sparrow]

correct

[wooden nexus]

But a casual Jojo fan would not even know that

because they see everything on Youtube

and what do they see on Youtube? Engrish and the two pair

[sick sparrow]

but here the thing

X4 Mult next hand
if the first drawn card
contains your hand's rank
```how to "predict" the rank of card?

what's context for before drawing the card?

[wild patrol]

guessing g.pack_cards needs to be my list of cards?

[frosty dock]

no, the list of your cards is handled by the ObjectType

[sick sparrow]

what's context for before drawing the card? (after playing the hand, not discard)

[wild patrol]

oh do I put my list of cards in the SMODS.ObjectType?

[frosty dock]

you put the object type into your jokers' pools. e.g. if your ObjectType's key is yugioh, you put

pools = { yugioh = true }, 

into the definition of each yugioh card

and in create_card you do set = 'yugioh'

[tight thistle]

is it possible to force the game to play a certain hand type without any cards?

[wild patrol]

ok so for example in the pot of greed card in the SMOD.Joker I made for it i'd put pool = inside of it?

[sick sparrow]

what's context for before drawing the card? (after playing the hand, not discard)

[upper fern]

this is completely random but i just realized it is possible to put a #variable# in the name field of a joker

[frosty dock]

bro i saw your message, i can't respond to everything at the same time

I don't think such a context exists, you'd have to make your own

there's only first_hand_drawn (which is after drawing the first hand of the blind)

[wild patrol]

@frosty dock lovely gave me a crash with attempt to call set_card_area with a nil value?

[rocky heron]

omg perkeo 2

[frosty dock]

what's set_card_area?

[wild patrol]

Oops! The game crashed:
cardarea.lua:57: attempt to call method 'set_card_area' (a nil value)

[frosty dock]

where is it being called and can I at least have the full crash?

[wild patrol]

I don't even have that mentioned in my .lua?

[upper fern]

post the full crash log

[frosty dock]

just show me your code

[wild patrol]

just a warning it's very shit

i'm not very organzied

i'm literally a duck tape and glue type of guy

[frosty dock]

🦆 tape

I don't see a create_card function here?

[wild patrol]

all that I care about is if it works lmao

[frosty dock]

oh you just put it in the file lmao

[wild patrol]

I did lol

[frosty dock]

it's supposed to be in the fucking booster

[wild patrol]

lmfao

[upper fern]

create_card is a vanilla thing

[frosty dock]

and you don't have an ObjectType yet

[hardy viper]

i love naming things the exact same as other things without clarification

[frosty dock]

just adding ```lua
SMODS.ObjectType { key = 'TCG_Yugioh' }

 should do

[wintry solar]

I added a hand_drawn context yesterday that runs every time a hand is drawn afaik (I didn’t test it lol)

[merry raven]

Is there a context that detects the start of a new blind?
