[late shadow]

what is j_*

or is the * a stand in for the word im searching for

[normal crest]

SMODS.create_card({ key = 'j_<mod_prefix>_phj_moe' })

[cursive glade]

j_{the key name of your joker} like j_madness or j_rocket

[late shadow]

ohhhh

[normal crest]

@weak gate ^

[late shadow]

whats the -- for in that case

[cursive glade]

-- = comment

was just showing you where to put the code to look for stuff

[late shadow]

ah i just wasnt sure why the comment was there

ohh

[native cargo]

You may want to have this site pulled up while you attempt this:

https://www.lua.org/pil/1.html

[late shadow]

oh dont worry i have

for like
4 hours

but ty

[normal crest]

@weak gate I edited it in case you didn't see it, if you want to add the card directly just use add_card instead of create_card

[native cargo]

Maybe read up the basic syntax section

[cursive glade]

lua is both simple and infuriating at the same time. i love/hate it

[late shadow]

same

its fun or hell

[cursive glade]

it's a hell of a lot of fun >.>

hokay, back to mobile. gotta get kids to bed

[weak gate]

once a codebase is big enough, you really want a compiler to check everything before you run it yep

[late shadow]

after the second line would
if context.other_joker.config.key and containsString('Meeb') then
be on the right track

i know its the general right track but idk

[normal crest]

that does not look correct, what are you trying to achieve

all jokers with 'meeb' in their key?

[late shadow]

yeah i didnt think so lol

and yeah

that are any of the jokers u have

baseball card except for a specific set of jokers

mult scales with how many u currently have

[normal crest]

string.find(context.other_joker.config.key, 'Meeb')

[late shadow]

thank you so much

does it matter if meeb is the entire key or is within it with other text

[normal crest]

I am not entirely sure what you were trying to say to be honest

[late shadow]

its ok

[normal crest]

it will check if the string on the left has the string on the right somewhere

it is probably case sensitive

[late shadow]

yeah meeb is the second word in the names

[normal crest]

In the name or the key

[late shadow]

both

[normal crest]

what does the joker key look like

[late shadow]

two words

i gtg in a min

[native cargo]

replace that space with an underscore, keys shouldn't have spaces.

[late shadow]

ohh ok thx

[native cargo]

generally in anything programming wise, keys are one word.

[late shadow]

ty

i think i have to go like rn so thx for the help every1

[normal crest]

And string.find is case sensitive, so it has to be exactly 'meeb' not 'Meeb'

[naive notch]

what is this, my singing monsters?

[late shadow]

yeah lol

[naive notch]

oh lol

[late shadow]

my friend and i making a mod based on it

since were fans of it and ethereal just sounded like a balatro mod name

[naive notch]

nice

[old bane]

is there a mod somewhere that has X chips in a Joker?

[naive notch]

Cryptic I believe

[old bane]

is that a feature of cryptid or is that a feature of talisman?

[naive notch]

that I wouldnt know, sorry

[solar eagle]

its a talisman feature

The code I use for xchips is:

  message = "X"..card.ability.extra.x_chips.." Chips",
  colour = G.C.CHIPS,
  x_chips = card.ability.extra.x_chips
}```
where card.ability.extra.x_chips is the amount to multiply chips by

and this goes in a newcalc calculate function to complete it

[lucid owl]

balatwoke has been created

[solar eagle]

I am aware that the message is a bad and hacky way of doing it

[solar eagle]

im afraid youre too late

[lucid owl]

worst news of my life

well they're distinct enough

[solar eagle]

true

[lucid owl]

woke can continue

[solar eagle]

hell yeah tbh i love the idea

[old bane]

isn't this what talisman does for Xchips tho?

if effects.jokers.Xchip_mod then hand_chips = mod_chips(hand_chips*effects.jokers.Xchip_mod);extras.hand_chips = true end

so like can't I just use Xchip_mod if i have talisman>

[lucid owl]

all credits to @loud citrus lol

[solar eagle]

I tried using Xchip_mod but it wouldnt work

It displayed the text but chips werent multiplied for some reason

x_chips works??

[spare knot]

hey, any good tutorials to get me started making collab mods?

[loud citrus]

It's true

[old bane]

what's a newcalc calculate function tho

[solar eagle]

its a calculate function using the newcalc steamodded

aka, newest version of steamodded

it'll be defined as calculate = function(self, card, context)

on your joker, enhancement, etc etc etc

[old bane]

oh wait wrong question i meant how does x_chips end up multiplying the chip amount?

is it also a newcalc function

[cerulean rose]

yeah talisman newcalc stuff

[naive notch]

How do you do that code text?

[old bane]

` (your text here) `

[naive notch]

So to declare a variable in lua do I just write out its name and what its equal to?

example:
dog_points = 0

[wind turtle]

how do I make a joker that scales like fortune teller? like every time a tarot card is used increase a variable

and totally unrelated how do I apply xmult again?

(as in how do I apply xmult comma again, not how do I apply xmult multiple times)

[old bane]

Xmult_mod

[old bane]

so you'll usually want one variable to store how much mult total you have, and then another variable to store how much mult you gain whenever you upgrade it.

Then, when you program the condition for when you upgrade the card, you do:

return{
  // message code and others
  card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain
}

and then you do

if context.joker_main then
   return {
      mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult
   }
end

or something similar

[wind turtle]

also is there a hot reload

[wind turtle]

ok thanks

[naive notch]

it does seem to really be that simple

[old bane]

what context are you doing this in

[wind turtle]

i'm doing this, self.ability.extra.xmult is set fine but the xmult_mod isn't doing anything

is it case sensitive?

[solar eagle]

context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play
as it's on an enhancement

[solar eagle]

Yes, Xmult_mod

[wind turtle]

ok yeah it is case sensitive

it works now

but it's displaying a blank message, how do i fix that?

[old bane]

yes, the X is capital in Xmult_mod

[solar eagle]

you have to return the message parameter

[wind turtle]

is something like message = none (or whatever none is in Lua) acceptable?

[old bane]

oh mine is on a joker, would it be joker_main then?

[solar eagle]

look at the joker calculation wiki page to make sure!

[solar eagle]

No

[wind turtle]

so how do i make it not display a message

[solar eagle]

message = localize { type = "variable", key = "a_xmult", vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult } },

Do not use self

use card, self will crash

[wind turtle]

i changed it to use card and

that's in the loc_vars thing, ```lua
return {vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult }}

[solar eagle]

can you attach the lua file

[wind turtle]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "fortnuteguy",
    name = "Whatever",
    atlas = "lbm_atlas",
    cost = 5,
    unlocked = true,
    discoverable = true,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    config = {xmult = 1},
    ability = {name = "fortuneguy", extra = {xmult = 1}},
    rarity = 3,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = { self.ability.extra.xmult }}
    end,
    loc_txt = {
        name = ":3",
        text = {
            "Gives +0.25xmult per Tarot",
            "card used",
            "(currently #1#)"
        }
    },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.using_consumeable then
            if (context.consumeable.ability.set == "Tarot") then
                self.ability.extra.xmult = self.ability.extra.xmult + 0.25;
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            print(self.ability.extra.xmult)
            return {Xmult_mod = self.ability.extra.xmult, message = localize { type = "variable", key = "a_xmult", vars = { self.ability.extra.xmult } },}
        end
    end
}

i changed it back to self so it stopped crashing

just replace all self. with card.

[solar eagle]

weird

ive had to use card or it breaks

[wind turtle]

seems to be the opposite for me lol

but the card works now

[solar eagle]

nice !!

[naive notch]

what would the context be for after scoring is finished?

[foggy carbon]

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

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

[cursive glade]

Is it possible to make a new hand type with a joker mod?

[wind turtle]

im trying to get this text color and background, i tried {C:white}{X:mult} but that didn't work

[foggy carbon]

{X:mult,C:white}

[shell lagoon]

try {X:mult,C:white}

i was too late 😭

[wind turtle]

nvm checked docs lol

[dusk harness]

if i want to get the info about the jokers and packs available in the shop where would i start looking?

[wind turtle]

this one is for the scott the woz discord server 🔥

[twilit cargo]

Scott the woz is peak

[wind turtle]

how would I make a joker check if there are 2 of the same card played at once?

[weak brook]

ive watched scott for years i cant tell what this is referencing

[wind turtle]

weegeefett is a discord mod in the stw discord

[weak gate]

I want all my jokers to run a bit of code after the hand is played, print('hi') for example. How to do that?

[weak brook]

oh

figures

[wind turtle]

he said there should be a joker that scales like fortune teller but with xmult instead

[cerulean rose]

context.after

[weak gate]

Ah, apologies - I want all of them to run the same code, if possible I don't want to paste the same code block in all jokers' context.affter

[cerulean rose]

don't think there's a way to do that

[dusk harness]

make a function

[wind turtle]

functions: https://tenor.com/view/mercy-overwatch-come-here-gif-14280244

[wind turtle]

anyways how would I go about doing this?

[weak gate]

Oh, right, pasting
if context.after then commonfunction() end
seems pretty good

[wind turtle]

only the highest quality jokers for my mod

i plan on making it trigger if you play 2 of the same card at once, so how do I detect that

like is there a list of cards i can go through

[cerulean rose]

what do you mean by “2 of the same card”

[wind turtle]

like if you played 2 aces of spades

[cursive glade]

detect them in a hand of multiple cards, or explicitly just two cards played?

[cerulean rose]

compare some_card.base

[wind turtle]

detect them in a hand of multiple cards

like this would trigger

this wouldn't

[old bane]

how do i get a joker that does the shaking animation (or the juice up animation) every time a Spade card is scored?

[cerulean rose]

card:juice_up

[old bane]

i know that, but whenever i put that in context.individual it only juices up once

[wind turtle]

i checked loyalty, juice_card_until(self, eval, true) (i wouldn't trust this because i am stupid)

[cerulean rose]

can you send the full joker code?

[wind turtle]

also i'd still like to know if there's a "hot reload" so i don't have to restart the game every time i edit my code

[random sleet]

hold m

[worn palm]

hey real quick, is there documentation for stuff like ipairs(hand)? i cant find anything in the SMODS docs so im assuming thats a balatro specific function? i guess im just asking if theres any other documentation i should know about

[tall wharf]

that's lua thing

[worn palm]

oooh okay

[tall wharf]

you need to know a bit of lua

[worn palm]

i mean ive used lua before, its just not something i use often, my apologies

beyond that, is there any docs for the structure of tables? or like a way to read them?

[tall wharf]

table in lua is a mess

it can be anything

[merry raven]

Are there any checks to see if a card has an ability to always score, like Stone Card or modded cards with always_scores = true

[tall wharf]

base game just checks if the card is stone 😭

maybe look at the lovely dump and see what you got?

[twilit cargo]

first time lua user over here proud to admit i spent like 25 minutes trying to figure out why something didn't work only to realise the not equal operator is ~= instead of != 🗣️

[worn palm]

yeah that one got me too lol

very cool

[twilit cargo]

why would they do that 🥀🥀🥀🥀

[tall wharf]

TRUE

INDEX STARTS AT 1

[worn palm]

doesnt lua use ! for something specific? idk, never trust a guy that counts from 1 instead of 0

[twilit cargo]

WHY DOES INDEX START AT ONE 🥀🥀🥀

[tall wharf]

AND I CODE JS BACKEND

[ionic verge]

so if i want to split my mod into several files (i.e. jokers.lua decks.lua etc) what would i need to do in main.lua to prepare that?

[wind turtle]

how do i get what suit a card is

[cedar stream]

look at how MTJ does it, i found that it is easy to understand

[wind turtle]

because lua is the checks notes third worst programming language

[tall wharf]

what i did in my code

assert(SMODS.load_file("./modules/atlasses.lua"))() 
assert(SMODS.load_file("./modules/hooks.lua"))() 
assert(SMODS.load_file("./modules/sounds.lua"))() 
assert(SMODS.load_file("./modules/misc.lua"))() 
assert(SMODS.load_file("./modules/consumables.lua"))() 
assert(SMODS.load_file("./modules/stickers.lua"))() 
assert(SMODS.load_file("./modules/blinds.lua"))() 
assert(SMODS.load_file("./modules/cards.lua"))() 
assert(SMODS.load_file("./modules/ui.lua"))() 
assert(SMODS.load_file("./modules/jokers.lua"))() 
assert(SMODS.load_file("./modules/pokerhands.lua"))() 

[ionic verge]

wheres brainfuck ranked

[wind turtle]

(number 2 is javascript, number 1 is java)

[wind turtle]

number 0 best

[ionic verge]

greal

[twilit cargo]

for ours we have them in a contents folder then list all of the files and then assert them from the list

[ionic verge]

i probably hate it for the wrong reasons but hearing 'java bad' after a horrid computer science class in high school feels so vindicating

[twilit cargo]

Iused C for with no documentation no nothing just sheer willpower Horrible language fuck C all my homies hate C

[tall wharf]

jenku i will ask politely for you to help me with my mod

this is the balatro equivalent to hi wanna collab

[twilit cargo]

You should not i have been doing this for 3 days at most

[twilit cargo]

#1333809003829923900 message is this what you want in your mod

[ionic verge]

whaddya need

im at about 2ish weeks now

i cant properly colab though

am working on own project

[tall wharf]

explosion

[twilit cargo]

💥💥💥

[tall wharf]

cross mod content is always fun

[cerulean rose]

im at *checks repositories* 3 months?

HOLY WHAT

3 MONTHS

[tall wharf]

yooo veteran

[cerulean rose]

it does not feel like its been that long

[tall wharf]

I've been making the aikoyori shenanigans for a month

i gave up on quadruple thirteeen straight flush for now

basically it's just 4 sets of King thru Ace Straight Flush

guys would it be funny to add Potassium-40 as a joker

[wind turtle]

update bumping this up to 2nd. there's no fucking continue.

[cerulean rose]

omg really?

[wind turtle]

yeah

[cerulean rose]

actually yeah ive run into this before

[twilit cargo]

Guh

[ionic verge]

i will say in blind defence of lua
for i,v in ipairs is a joy to use

[twilit cargo]

Fair

[ionic verge]

also i dont know what continue is

[cerulean rose]

well ipairs in lua works the same as enumerate in python

[ionic verge]

noted

is why i said blind defence

[wind turtle]

you can put something like ```py
for i in data:
if i == ["placeholder"]: continue
...

[tall wharf]

^1.15 Mult
1 in 1,250,000,000 chance the card is destroyed at the end of the round

[wind turtle]

"continue" makes the loop skip that iteration

[wind turtle]

the cars

[cerulean rose]

its like break but it moves to the top of the loop instead of after it

[ionic verge]

mmmmmmm

yeah thats nice

[wind turtle]

i had to add in a special if statement 😭

[tall wharf]

you know as an upgrade to cavendish

[cerulean rose]

why do you hate java so much

[wind turtle]

i tried to code a minecraft mod

anyways this works now

[cerulean rose]

thats op as hell

[tall wharf]

I've been doing silly things with the game

[twilit cargo]

X5 is wild 😭

[wind turtle]

to be fair, the mod's a shitpost

you're not meant to take it seriously

[cerulean rose]

real

[tall wharf]

MY MOD HAS X6 JOKER

😭😭😭😭😭

[cerulean rose]

lul

[tall wharf]

you remember this?

[wind turtle]

you know what

im gonna check cryptid to see how they did something

[tall wharf]

you are not gonna be able to dig thru that

[tall wharf]

what de fuck lmao9

[foggy carbon]

So, like Ruby's next

[cerulean rose]

^2 Chips

[wind turtle]

github search:

[cerulean rose]

vscode folder search:

[dusk harness]

if im in the update shop event how can i get the list of jokers on sale?

[tall wharf]

just press . and use github vscode to do it

[cerulean rose]

G.shop_jokers.cards

[dusk harness]

thanks

[cerulean rose]

you can get that anywhere actually

[dusk harness]

but its gonna be null when the player is in game?

[cerulean rose]

yes

[dusk harness]

ok, makes sense

[cerulean rose]

i mean you can get it from any execution point

[tall wharf]

mr strange pencil

how would you rate my wordle gamemode

[dusk harness]

what do you mean by that?

[wind turtle]

i'm analyzing jimball to see how it changes the music when you obtain it

[tall wharf]

this one i know kinda

[wind turtle]

ive got this

oh for those who haven't played cryptid, jimball plays funky town when you have it

[foggy carbon]

I did that earlier today. I made my mod defer to their Cryptid.food table if it exists, and also checked the variables they added to see which ones I needed to account for (namely, Xchips and Emult)

[cerulean rose]

you could get it in say joker calculation

[cerulean rose]

*mx

[dusk harness]

but at that point it would be null, which makes sense

[tall wharf]

sorry strange pencil person

[dusk harness]

ok thanks

[cerulean rose]

not particularly balatro-like

[dusk harness]

you seem like a good ressource i might ask more quesitons, while you're here

[tall wharf]

i hate number go up

[cerulean rose]

if your context is opened_booster it wouldn't be

[wind turtle]

fuck you, -10 chips

[tall wharf]

nope

[chilly lily]

things an evil balatro player would say:

[wind turtle]

joker that gains +10 chips when you play your most played hands and loses 20 when you don't

[dusk harness]

right, makes sense, but in my case im trying to make a mod that just read the current states of the game so i can use it to overlay over a twitch stream

[foggy carbon]

Opposite of obelisk

[twilit cargo]

joker that gains x0.5 mult every time you get Nope!d

[cerulean rose]

wheel of hope

[tall wharf]

your -10 chips is nothing

[foggy carbon]

_ _

[cerulean rose]

jimball

[hushed briar]

how do challenge names work in localization...? none of these are working

[cerulean rose]

c_pencil_permamouth = "Ride or Die"

[tall wharf]

@wind turtle -10 chips for you

[hushed briar]

oh is there a prefix for challenges

[cerulean rose]

not sure if you're aware but you can add custom font characters

bunco does that

[tall wharf]

i could yeah but i decided to draw

[wind turtle]

how do i check if you have a certain joker?

[cerulean rose]

i mean instead of just rotating the 8

[tall wharf]

oh

i hooked to the discard number dynatext

[cerulean rose]

so it doesn't look lopsided

[foggy carbon]

That reminds me, the last joker I want to make needs an unlock condition (which is gonna be to have three other jokers from my mod at once.) And I need to look into how to make those work.

[tall wharf]

replacing the UI is a bad idea so I stopped doing that

it literally broke animations

[cerulean rose]

you should be able to just set the text inside the element

if using a font

[tall wharf]

ok yeah you're right

[wind turtle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1091441098829856949/1333654323577487421/GIF_20241218_114725_688.gif

[cerulean rose]

SMODS.find_card

[wind turtle]

and is it [mod_id]_[card_id] or [mod_id]-[card_id]

[foggy carbon]

Underscore

[wind turtle]

thanks

[ionic verge]

brainstorm jumpscare

[merry raven]

Sorry for late reply but uhhh
My Joker essentially clones a Pair to four cards, but it will also clone Stone Cards and other modded cards with always_score on which is unintentional, so I dunno how I'm gonna go about mitigating it

[wind turtle]

so i did SMODS.find_card("lbm_goldenfreddy") and it's triggering in menus?

(i'm trying to change the music to TlT fnaf song)

[merry raven]

There's no not card.always_scores or something right

[cerulean rose]

where are you putting it?

[wind turtle]

i mean could you check if the card has always_score? is that like a thing thats possible or am i stupid

[cerulean rose]

that won't necessarily work correctly

[wind turtle]

fair enough

my lua experience is
- this
- two roblox games

[cerulean rose]

try context.poker_hands["Pair"][1]

[merry raven]

I did do this but what does [1] do

[cerulean rose]

if there's multiple pairs for whatever reason it will only select the first one

maybe

i don't know but i saw it in G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info

the game sets scoring_hand to that at some point

[merry raven]

In my case if I play a Pair alongside always-scoring cards like Stone Cards, the Stone Cards get affected too
My aim is to remove the always-scoring card interactions

[dusk harness]

so i assume that G.shop_jokers.cards[1] is a class of some sort, can i just do .name on it to get the name or is there a special ritual for it to work?

[cerulean rose]

right
the suggestion i made should only include the cards that make the pair

[cerulean rose]

its a card object

[dusk harness]

that doesnt help me much

[cerulean rose]

what are you trying to do with it

[dusk harness]

i want to get the description and name

[ionic verge]

is there a way to modify the probabilities of each rarity spawning in a shop?

[cerulean rose]

i do not know how to deal with that
it would probably be a mess because of how descriptions can include other descriptions

[cerulean rose]

you cant just manually exclude cards with the always_scores ability because they might be part of the pair

[dusk harness]

if i can get the key i can just go get teh desc freom somewhere else correct?

[cerulean rose]

idk

[tall wharf]

chat

[cerulean rose]

but if you fetch it directly from the table its loc vars will still be the placeholders

[tall wharf]

what if

[cerulean rose]

actually definitely yes because it has to be stored somewhere

[tall wharf]

rhythm game in balatro

[cerulean rose]

do not know where tho

[wind turtle]

right now it either always plays the song or never plays itg

[cerulean rose]

#1230341696957448222

[wind turtle]

play rhythm heaven and if you get a superb you get ^10 mult until the next boss blind

[cerulean rose]

and i thought this was powerful

[tall wharf]

crazy mod

[wind turtle]

well that's unconditional

this is if you can get a superb on like. remix 8 ds or something really hard

[tall wharf]

my joker has x6 mult

[cerulean rose]

^10 is 3.3 ^2s

[tall wharf]

but it disables one random other joker

[wind turtle]

yeah well MYYYYYY joker gives x20 for every A, 9, 8, or 7

[cerulean rose]

:crimson_heart:

[tall wharf]

it's actually ±√10 ☝️🤓

[wind turtle]

(because of the bite of 87 of course)

[tall wharf]

ok i can't read

[cerulean rose]

it's definitely positive ☝️🤓

[tall wharf]

x^10 is ((x^5)^2) actually

[cerulean rose]

yes it is

[tall wharf]

where did 3.3 come from

[cerulean rose]

log₂(10)

[cerulean rose]

also square chip doesn't do x^5

[wind turtle]

can someone send how SMODS.find_card works pls

like link to the docs or anything

[tall wharf]

oh ok I'm probably stupid but shouldn't 3.16^2 = 10

[wind turtle]

close enough

"ermnnnn actually it's 3.1622776601683793319988935444327 🤓 ☝️"

[tall wharf]

3.16227766017^2

[cerulean rose]

but also thats the wrong calculation

[rough furnace]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility#mod-facing-utilities

[cerulean rose]

that would be to verify that (x^3.16)^3.16=3^10

[wind turtle]

it's still not working though

it's searching for a card named goldenfreddy

[tall wharf]

ok what are we even arguing about

[wind turtle]

i have it doing #SMODS.find_card("goldenfreddy")

i tried lbm_ and lbm- too

[ionic verge]

anyone know?

[rough furnace]

you would need to add the j_ prefix and your mod prefix

[wind turtle]

ohhhhhh

[cerulean rose]

the number of square chips that a rhythm joker is equivalent to

[wind turtle]

i wouldnt have thought of the j_ prefix, thanks

[wind turtle]

obviously it should be ^2,016 because that was when the last game released

[tall wharf]

ok can you fill me in what it does again I'm very lost

[wind turtle]

😥

[cerulean rose]

rhythm joker gives ^10
square chip gives ^2

[tall wharf]

hm

[wind turtle]

ok it finally works

[tall wharf]

so what's the argument here because that sounds straightforward

[cerulean rose]

you said it's √10, i said it's log₂(10)

[spring osprey]

how do i check what hand was just played?

[tall wharf]

oh

[cerulean rose]

context.scoring_name

[spring osprey]

ty

[cerulean rose]

also thx @spring osprey for reminding me that pringles exist 😋

[spring osprey]

ur welcome

its what im here for

[tall wharf]

so how many Square chips does it take for them to be equal to Rhythm joker

[cerulean rose]

log₂(10)

aka 3.3219280948873623478703194294894
-# (see more…)

[tall wharf]

ok let me think for a bit I'm dumb

[wind turtle]

ok for some reason golden freddy is broken now

[tall wharf]

ok you're correct

[cerulean rose]

[wind turtle]

ok something's very wrong here so lemme just try Remaking this shit

[runic pecan]

So umm…
Is it any different from “contains a Pair”?

[wind turtle]

...

no comment

[runic pecan]

When one of them is debuffed (thus not scoring).
Imma see myself out.

[ionic verge]

is there?

[tall wharf]

how many of the x would you have to multiply itself to be equal to y would be log base x of y

[cedar stream]

is this a bad idea?

[cerulean rose]

has to be same suit too

[tall wharf]

flush pair let's go

[cerulean rose]

probably have to lovely patch

[runic pecan]

Oops, didn’t see that.

[spring osprey]

no?

[native cargo]

Do I need do something other than declaring a SMODS.Joker to create a joker?

Don't know if I'm just getting unlucky with my custom joker pulls or if they're not in the game fully yet.

[wind turtle]

so why isn't this working

[wind turtle]

hell yeah

freddy works but golden freddy doesn't

[tall wharf]

i just got a crazy idea

I'll implement it in secret tonight :>

probably not as crazy as the wordle idea but still kinda crazy

[wind turtle]

it's getting triggered but it's not adding the mult/xmult

[storm kraken]

making the thing popup in heiroglyphics or smth?

[wind turtle]

fuck it im just changing golden freddy to +1,987 mult for every A, 9, 8, or 7

[cedar stream]

no

that would actually probs be easier tho

@storm kraken

[storm kraken]

oh

[tall wharf]

too broken

[storm kraken]

theres a symbol for the needlr

[wind turtle]

golden freddy nerf 💔

[wind turtle]

used to be x20

[tall wharf]

+1 +9 +8 +7 individually

💔

[wind turtle]

hes a legendary itll be fine *waves hand*

[storm kraken]

wait
thats barely 2 mult

[tall wharf]

x2

but still

[cerulean rose]

bri'ish people notation

[tall wharf]

css is awesome

[wind turtle]

also he plays the living tombstone five nights at freddy's while you have him

[tall wharf]

won't fit

@wind turtle why is your website so buggy on mobile

[wind turtle]

im bad at web design

[spring osprey]

this would be context.scoring_name == "Full House" correct?

[tall wharf]

fair

[wind turtle]

this is what it looks like on desktop

[tall wharf]

idk it does keep refreshing as i move

[cedar stream]

so aiko when will we get phryexian letter support for the letter deck (just jokeing)

[tall wharf]

we do a little hfnwnxkjrnfosifiejncjf

I'll probably add a hook so mods can add their own word list and associated poker hands detection

[spring osprey]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.scoring_name == 'Full House' then
            if pseudorandom('fuller') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
                return {
                    Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.x_mult,
                    message = 'X' .. card.ability.extra.x_mult,
                    colour = G.C.MULT
                }
            end
        end
    end
``` for some reason when running this it works how i expect it too but then afterwards it deselects all the cards and destroys them

idk what i did to do that

[wind turtle]

yes, it ignores eternal

it's totally intentional

Completely Balanced™️

also segfault my beloved

[rugged star]

is there a way to add dollars to an end of round? as in, add bonus dollars for a round without it being tied to a joker's calc_dollar_bonus

[foggy carbon]

I also learned one of my jokers can destroy eternal cards today. Decided that I was going to let it happen, but I made it less likely than other jokers.

[tall wharf]

imo eternal jokers are supposed to be eternal until the end of the run

[tall wharf]

commitment

[cerulean rose]

that feels like it should be uncommon at best

really just feels like a downgrade of riff‐raff

@wind turtle idea: analgyph deck
gain a uranus when boss blind defeated

[tall wharf]

so true

this idea is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥

in the hole

[cerulean rose]

even better if analgyph and anaglyph randomly switch places in the deck selection screen

[foggy carbon]

oh I hate that. It's perfect

[tall wharf]

it should give an ass tag instead

the next tag is removed

[cerulean rose]

now that's just uncecassary

[tall wharf]

it's so ass

[cerulean rose]

https://tenor.com/view/what-huh-wat-wut-gif-13031409

[tall wharf]

instead of doubling the next tag

you just don't get to use it at all

[cerulean rose]

heh

feels a bit forced imo

[tall wharf]

it's ass so

[dusk harness]

i might be stupid but how do i cycle through the jokers i the shop, i cant seem to figure out the actual way, i keep getting errors or a bunch of shop_joker not instanciated during load and then freeze

[cerulean rose]

the joke i mean

[tall wharf]

oh

[cerulean rose]

that error message is a vanilla balatro bug

[tall wharf]

alright

[cerulean rose]

to avoid freezing you might have to wrap something in an event

[tall wharf]

I'm still looking for cross mod content

[dusk harness]

im confused

i need help

i mihgt also just be very stoopid

[runic pecan]

Should it be
Retrigger all steel cards with Diamond suit held in hand. or
Retrigger all steel cards held in hand with Diamond suit.?

[dusk harness]

2

[cerulean rose]

hm?

[dusk harness]

wait, both sound ok

[tall wharf]

Retrigger all Diamond Steel cards

[runic pecan]

"Retrigger all Diamond Steel cards held in hand"
Got it (Kronk face)

[dusk harness]

i might just be stoopid and forgot to call the ref.................

[foggy carbon]

is this how you guys would phrase this?

[runic pecan]

"Pockettes"?

[foggy carbon]

the other jokers in my mod are based on canonically tiny ladies

[ionic verge]

where could i find the code that determines the probabilities that the rarities use?

(i.e. what defines common jokers appearing as often as they do, uncommon as they do, etc)

[cerulean rose]

get_current_pool in common_events.lua

[runic pecan]

Why not just "+1 joker slots per Occupant in this house"?

[foggy carbon]

fair enough

[cerulean rose]

feels like this ends up working the same as cryptid's negative joker

[runic pecan]

What if there are a series of Pockettes between two Dollhouses? Are they gonna be recognized as Occupants of both "buildings"?
This sounds more like a counterpoint against my "+1 joker slots per Occupant in this house" idea.

[foggy carbon]

good question
no, I'll probably want to make sure they only count as being occupied by one. Split the line in half

[cerulean rose]

does it matter which building?

[foggy carbon]

not really

I guess "treated as Negative" is the best solution because negative doesn't happen twice

[runic pecan]

Or give them an effect called "housed" which works the same as Negative (+1 joker slot, that is)?

[ionic verge]

so what kind of code would i have to patch in to check for my voucher's existence if im trying to modify the probabilities of rarities?

[runic pecan]

You mean like a debug message to confurm whether it's in the pool or not?

[ionic verge]

no i mean like

it checks if my voucher is there and then modifies that 'probability > x and #' stuff

cus thats the idea im thinking to implement my vouchers

here's the vouchers

(they're by the guy at the top of the image but im the one implementing them for them)

[cerulean rose]

youd probably need to use a lovely patch

[ionic verge]

yeah i know

im wondering what i need to patch in

[cerulean rose]

check observatory to see how having a voucher is checked

[ionic verge]

where do i find that

[cerulean rose]

also add a T3 voucher that increases epic spawnrate

[ionic verge]

back.lua is real confusing

[runic pecan]

I assume you already worked out the rarity part?

[dusk harness]

everythiong is very confusing my guy

[cerulean rose]

observatory isn't there goofy

[ionic verge]

wait im dum

mbmb

[spring osprey]

just bumping my question here im still confused

[ionic verge]

is it card.lua?

yeah

[ionic verge]

for the uncommon one i want it to check for something like 'rarity > 0.4 and 2'

which is roughly double the chance

though itd actually be something like > .45

[cerulean rose]

so do rarity > (redeemed and 0.45 or 0.7) and 2

[runic pecan]

If me, I'd put the generated rarity number through a continuous increasing function before (_legendary and 4) line, so I don't need to bother with specific numbers like 0.95 and 0.7

[ionic verge]

do i need to do anything to change that 'redeemed'?

[cerulean rose]

yeah replace it with what you found for observatory

[ionic verge]

so this

[cerulean rose]

yeah

[ionic verge]

but yknow, with the right key

[cerulean rose]

ofc

[dusk harness]

i will be back tomorrow to bang my head more against the figuring out the jokers in the shop

cause like it dont work

[foggy carbon]

where can I go to see a SMODS unlock_condition implementation?

[ionic verge]

is the position right for replacing code?

[runic pecan]

Not sure if this is it but this is what I first found.

[tall wharf]

seems good

idk i personally avoid replacing the code directly

[ionic verge]

ok so
with no vouchers the chances are 70% common 25% uncommon 5% rare
with one the chances are 45% common 50% uncommon 5% rare
with both its 45% common 35% uncommon 20% rare

[runic pecan]

If only smods can do something like local rate_Rare = 0.05 local rate_Uncommon = 0.25 rarity = (_legendary and 4) or (rarity>1-rate_Rare and 3) or (rarity>1-rate_Rare-rateUncommon and 2) or...

[dusk harness]

me right now

[ionic verge]

i could also have two vouchers be 30% 50% 20%

i feel thats truer to the intention of the vouchers

[runic pecan]

But no, we don't talk about debugging source code, no no no~

[dusk harness]

i wish i could just put breakpoints

it would be so much easier

[ionic verge]

how can i spawn vouchers in to test

[runic pecan]

May I ask what do you want your joker to do in the shop?

[ionic verge]

the method i use to spawn jokers (hitting 3 on collection) isnt working

[dusk harness]

i just want to read the shop state, im trying to make a mod that communicate with twitch to make an overlay for the viewer

[wind turtle]

thing is, it can give you Any joker

like you could get 4 legendaries

Keep gambling!

[runic pecan]

What info do you want to be communicated with twitch?

[dusk harness]

joker name and what it does

so joker name and description

[runic pecan]

So you want to access jokers on the shelf.

[ionic verge]

nvm i figured it out

[dusk harness]

yes

[ionic verge]

(itll spawn one in the shop if youre in it)

[runic pecan]

Let me see what I can find...

[merry raven]

Yeah nah doesn't really work lmao

[dusk harness]

thanks

[merry raven]

Sorry for uber late reply I went out fo r abit

[cerulean rose]

i think you have…other problems

[merry raven]

Yeah

[runic pecan]

The variable you'll need to iter through is called G.shop_jokers.cards.
May I assume you already know that?

[merry raven]

No worries it's my Joker's effect, if a Pair or High Card is played, it will evenly split them into two, cloning them but halving their ranks

[dusk harness]

but when i try to do that i get errors or no data

[cerulean rose]

adding cards to the played hand generally doesn't work

[merry raven]

Oh they just spawn in the middle of the screen like that and then added to the deck

[dusk harness]

or data but further down the line, which i guess im not binding on the right event?

[merry raven]

Maybe it'll work if I explicitly make it only work when there is only 2 cards played for Pair and 1 card for High Card? I dunno

[dusk harness]

yup, the problem is getting the data out of that properly, like i can get data in the update_shop event, but it tends to show up 3 or 4 events deep

[runic pecan]

The inconsistency of source code's indentations is gonna be the end of me.

[dusk harness]

LOL

[edgy reef]

I mean it functionally already does this

[steel sage]

where is this G object documented

unrelated question sorry

[ionic verge]

so... my vouchers, upon testing, seem to not actually affect anything
my code looks pretty solid, so i dont really know's up

[runic pecan]

Did you checked if G.shop_jokers then before the iteration?

[steel sage]

is that the source code lol?

[edgy reef]

Are you looking at the dump or the vanilla code

[steel sage]

alright i didn’t know that was available

thank you

[edgy reef]

It shouldn't look like that to begin with since smods overrides that

Also, that's targeting jokers, not vouchers.

[runic pecan]

Extracted from the executable.

[steel sage]

are you allowed to say how to do that in here

[cerulean rose]

yes

[runic pecan]

Right click -> 7zip -> Extract
if I recall correctly

[ionic verge]

(for context ive rerolled several times and its been mostly commons, which checks out for their normal 70% chance spawn rate but not for 30% spawns)

[steel sage]

ty i appreciate the help

[ionic verge]

also this is what happens if you spawn a lot of overstock+'s

[foggy carbon]

what I'm looking for, is like, when I have an unlock_condition in my joker, how should it be formatted

[runic pecan]

I think the payload needs to be like if G.GAME.used_vouchers.v_deal_premi then rarity = (numbers with top shelf and premium) elseif G.GAME.used_vouchers.v_deal_topsh then rarity = (numbers with top shelf) else rarity = (vanilla numbers) end

[ionic verge]

mhmmmmm

me when i forget a comma

[runic pecan]

SMODS doc: "make sure to implement an unlock condition."
Me: "So how do I implement an unlock condition?
SMODS doc: *shrug

[random sleet]

reading the code explains the code

[ionic verge]

oh im sure it does
its just
this is the documentation

(ive had my mild annoyances with this too)

[runic pecan]

The real problem is where to find and read it.

[edgy reef]

Pretty sure all the classes that has unlocked working also has check_for_unlock in documentation.

Class-specific documentation

[runic pecan]

Dude. DUDE. WTF.

[edgy reef]

Basically just return true if the object should be unlocked (there's a lot, and I mean a lot of default args for this).

[runic pecan]

Nvm, G.P_LOCKED is changing during the iteration. while loop is safer.

[edgy reef]

Don't ask any questions about LocalThunk's code quality, ever

[runic pecan]

So by the look of function check_for_unlock(args) I assume this is already within the range of smods patches/overrides...
Now the question is: where to find them?

[quasi comet]

How would I go about always having an enhancement active on a joker? Like it always comes with it? RN it only appears when I start the blind

[glass scaffold]

What in the Wingdings ahh font is that

[foggy carbon]

honestly it looks more like some Middle Eastern language than Wingdings

Doesn't look like Hebrew but similar in formation

[runic pecan]

I remember days ago someone else has the same problem as you. (And they solved it)
Let me find which one is it rq...

[quasi comet]

oh that'd be great, thanks! I've been trying to search but couldn't quite find

[cedar stream]

Isnt it beautiful

[foggy carbon]

from what I can tell, it seems to be unlock_condition = { type = 'string', extra = 3}
where type is the name of a stat in the G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].career_stats table and extra is what that stat needs to be set to.

So now all I need to do is figure out where to generate a new career_stat, and how to define it.

[cedar stream]

What you cant read that, it’s clearly chocolate die

[glass scaffold]

I see that part, but who is able to decipher the hieroglyphs of a font on there?

[cedar stream]

me

[frosty dock]

you don't need to use vanilla args, you can give any unlockable object a custom check_for_unlock function

[cedar stream]

and any other MTG nerd who got bored and wanted to learn it

[steel sage]

hey, thanks for the help, i've almost got this working. the jokers i want for my deck spawn when i start the game but they can be dragged anywhere on screen and also don't function properly

SMODS.Back{
    name = "Shortcut Deck",
    key = "shortcut_deck",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Shortcut Deck",
        text = {
            "Start run with a {C:attention}Shortcut{}",
            "and a {C:attention}Four Fingers{}."
        }
    },
    pos = {x = 0, y = 3},
    apply = function()
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                SMODS.create_card({
                    set = "Joker",
                    area = G.jokers,
                    key = "j_shortcut"
                })
                SMODS.create_card({
                    set = "Joker",
                    area = G.jokers,
                    key = "j_four_fingers"
                })
                return true 
            end
        })) 
        
    end
}```

this seems like it should work to me but i can't find any examples of decks that add jokers

so idk whats up

nvm got it working

add_card is the correct function

cool :)

[runic pecan]

Just found what I was talking about, but it turns out just to be shaders. Sorry.

[quasi comet]

ahh

[tall wharf]

ah

[runic pecan]

Chat, is this wording good enough or needs some rework?

[quasi comet]

maybe more like 'whose rank matches the first played card'?

or keep the with for the 2nd part

"Played cards with Diamond suit whose rank matches with the first played card gives X2 Mult when scored." ?

@runic pecan

[normal crest]

Each played Diamond gives x2 mult when scored if its rank matches the first played card this hand, is how I'd word it

[steel sage]

perfect

that wasnt too bad

[quasi comet]

so i tried to do an add_to_deck function for the whole enhancement thing but now the card is just using the enhancement description and in the consumable field??? fsr???

dont mind the graphic its just a placeholder empty frame to test if the enhancement is applied or not

[maiden phoenix]

Use add_joker instead

[wintry solar]

let me catch up on what happened whilst I was asleep
people recommending using mult_mod and Xmult_mod on new calc
😭

[maiden phoenix]

x_mult_modular

[fallen pelican]

surely we must put _mod because we are modding

[maiden phoenix]

@wintry solar does returning level_up work in more context thanks to new calc?

[wintry solar]

Yes

I think I fixed the display jank too

[maiden phoenix]

Oh awesome I need to replace some horrors

[random sleet]

i use mult_mod :3

[wintry solar]

If the display is still jank let me know

[maiden phoenix]

Also does repetitions uses "Again!" as a default message? If not it would be nice

Yea I'll let you know

[wintry solar]

Autumn please tell me that you’re adding custom messages

[wintry solar]

It does

[fallen pelican]

you can put anything on the message

[maiden phoenix]

It keeps getting better 👍

[random sleet]

(for Transfusion which converts chips to mult, it uses chips_mod and mult_mod and just says a Converted! message)

[maiden phoenix]

It's redundant to use message if you want the default one

[wintry solar]

What a relief

[tall wharf]

:3

[maiden phoenix]

So I don't need to use card = card too?

[random sleet]

eremel i made a new card layer

[wintry solar]

Correct

[maiden phoenix]

Awesome

[wintry solar]

omg so did I

It’s great fun

[random sleet]

i think i can handle returning the right thing in calculate

whats your card layer

:?

[tall wharf]

when i do lovely patch i felt like i was performing surgery on code

[random sleet]

you are

[tall wharf]

i mean it makes sense

[random sleet]

hee hee hoo hoo

[tall wharf]

i came from modding that one hit 3d block game

where they did the surgery you just insert the tubes

[wintry solar]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1308959425154781235/1322364746087010417/image.png?ex=67a2b4a3&is=67a16323&hm=bdd30fbb1544994ac2018eaa2bdcad0866632148058ac27d9e69dc3c5fe8ffe0&

These lovely curses

[tall wharf]

they look great

[random sleet]

funky

[tall wharf]

i can't get this song out of my head

[random sleet]

are they "technically stickers" or did you do it Properly

[wintry solar]

No it’s done properly

[foggy carbon]

I am using table.insert(card.ability.extra.occupants, G.jokers.cards[z[i]].ability.name), so why is it displaying the affected jokers' keys instead of their names?

[random sleet]

pog

[wintry solar]

I might make a card modifier api to handle it all at some point

[tall wharf]

https://youtu.be/PWbRleMGagU I'm going to make a joker based on this song i like how it sounds

[random sleet]

letsfuckinggooooooo

[tall wharf]

:3

[wintry solar]

I need to finish ortalab first though

[tall wharf]

can we have a mod where we can have poker hands for 6oak

and so on up to configurable amount of 100

[maiden phoenix]

darn if I don't use card = card the joker doesn't juice_up tho

[wintry solar]

What are you returning?

[maiden phoenix]

repetitions

return {
                    repetitions = card.ability.extra,
                    card = card
                }

[wintry solar]

Huh it should do

[maiden phoenix]

Also h_mult

[wintry solar]

From a joker or playing card?

[maiden phoenix]

joker

[wintry solar]

Wait what do you mean? Doesn’t it juice up when the message plays?

[maiden phoenix]

The joker is a context.individual G.hand one, when I return just h_mult, the playing card does show the mult and juice up. If I add card = card the joker juice up but if I don't it doesn't

It's the same for the repetitions one btw

[wintry solar]

Do the repetitions give the message?

[maiden phoenix]

I didnt have time to try I have a meeting soon sorry

[bleak bone]

How interested would one be in a stone card only plasma deck challenge?

[wintry solar]

I’ll take a look at the message stuff later when I’m on my pc

[violet void]

could anyone tell me why this isnt aligned to the middle

    return {n=G.UIT.ROOT, config = {align = "cm", minh = G.ROOM.T.h*0.25, padding = 0.0, r = 0.1, colour = G.C.GREY}, nodes = {
        {n = G.UIT.R, config = { align = "cm", minw = G.ROOM.T.w*0.25 }, nodes = {
            create_toggle{ label = localize("start_with_chameleon"), info = localize("start_with_chameleon_desc"), active_colour = CrazyStairs.badge_colour, ref_table = CrazyStairs.config, ref_value = "start_with_chameleon" },
        }},
    }}
end```

[wintry solar]

It is?

[violet void]

not completely

theres more space to the right

[wintry solar]

Toggles have some weird width stuff

[runic pecan]

Is the highlighted part correct to replace the content of the for loop?

[prisma loom]

So I need my Joker to give either Meteor or Charm or Ethereal Tag. What should I use? Math random?

all equal chances

33/33/33

[runic pecan]

add_tag(Tag(tag_name))```

[maiden phoenix]

Btw does the game code or SMODS have a failsafe if Orbital Tag is the one picked at random from the tag pool?

[tepid crow]

just make the background wider and nobody will notice it's not perfectly centered 🤫

[runic pecan]

I think it does...?

[prisma loom]

like this?

[faint yacht]

Tag(tag_name)

[runic pecan]

Yeah I think it definitely does

[prisma loom]

ah ic ic

[maiden phoenix]

You have to set G.orbital_hand before adding the tag then make it nil afterward

[runic pecan]

Can I replace the first part with the second part?

[foggy carbon]

Got it working, even when sold.

[frosty dock]

Almost. The former will send a log and move on if something fails, the latter will crash the game if something fails

[prisma loom]

Is this correct? Cuz my game crashes now, unfortunately

this version also crashes

[frosty dock]

your pseudorandom_element arguments are wrong

it's the items first, then the seed

[prisma loom]

yeah, I figured it out already! :D

I looked at the base game code

what is juice_up?

[frosty dock]

makes card wiggle

[prisma loom]

Is everything correct here?

Ive tried making my card jiggle when activated

but it crashes the game now

I did this instead (it works now)

btw is there a list of colors?

like this G.C.BLUE

I don't know the full spectrum of possible chioces availible

same question for formatting colors

like {C:white}{}

for example

[maiden phoenix]

On vscode do shift+ctrl+f and look for BLUE = hex(

(Or ctrl+shift+f I forgor)

Yes its ctrl+shift+f

[prisma loom]

look for where exactly?

[wintry solar]

I believe it should handle it all for you without needing this

[maiden phoenix]

Really? I need to test it later

[maiden phoenix]

Ctrl+shift+f lets you look across all files, if you drag n drop the Balatro folder in VSCode you can look for it

[prisma loom]

like this?

it now gives me 1k errors

[maiden phoenix]

Wrong Balatro folder

[runic pecan]

How do I determine if context.blind is a boss blind and whether it's disabled?

[maiden phoenix]

There's a variable for it, look up the Rocket joker code

[prisma loom]

this one?

[maiden phoenix]

Extract the Balatro.exe and it should be it, sorry it wasnt clear

[runic pecan]

I want a tag to be triggered when context.setting_blind (Entering a blind).

Found it. G.GAME.blind.boss

How do I make this Tag go away after triggered?

And how do I make it not be triggered if there are other boss-disabling jokers like Chicot or Luchador?

[runic pecan]

Nvm

[maiden phoenix]

Yea was about to send you the link

[runic pecan]

It now looks like this. Is this correct?

Oh, wait, forgot tag.triggered = true

Alright. Now how do I detect if a boss blind is disabled or not?

[maiden phoenix]

Look up Chicot code, it checks that too

[runic pecan]

Found it. context.blind.disabled

Bad news: it didn't disable any boss blind.

[minor magnet]

how would i go about making a joker that makes two ranks be counted as the same?

[zealous glen]

Not currently feasible

not in any good way except hardcoding everything

and not working with any other mod

[minor magnet]

mm ok

good to know, thanks

[tiny sphinx]

im currently making a website to host custom challenges that can be played via a single click, kind of like inspecting a weapon on cs2, although i need a better name for it... any ideas?

[minor magnet]

Jimbo's Casino of Doom

[minor magnet]

also really cool stuff!

[manic rune]

sheesh, thats cool

[wintry solar]

How does it work

[runic pecan]

I'm planning on the next batch,
does any of these look like in need of tweaking?

[tiny sphinx]

websockets

challenges are just stored as a table so i can just parse some json into it

[violet void]

I've added a custom center type but the only thing is that they are discovered as soon as they are created rather than when bought

Whats the solution? I tried bypass_discovery_ui but the center is automatically discovered in the collections too when I open the pack

[runic pecan]

discovered = false not working, either?

[manic rune]

"Spray Gold paint onto the scord hand" should be "Spray Gold Paint on scored cards if played hand contains a Two Pairs. 1 in 4 chance to add a Gold Seal to an unsealed [playing card] <-- this part here needs to be specified more, since i actually dont know whether it chooses a card from your hand, deck, or played hand)

[violet void]

by default discovered is set to false and it gets turned to true as soon as I open the pack

[manic rune]

"If played hand contains a Two Pairs, retrigger Steel Cards held in hand per played and scored King"

[violet void]

this is the code if it makes a difference

[runic pecan]

"Metal cards" includes Gold and Steel.

[manic rune]

oh i see

you should probably specify that though

like, retrigger Steel and Gold cards instead

[runic pecan]

I'm adding them to info_queue

[manic rune]

that works then

you should just put the "Prevents Death no matter what." to "Prevents Death", since that means it will activate unconditionally when you die

[runic pecan]

Is there a flow chart about hand type containing?
Like having an arrow from Full House to Two Pairs.

[runic pecan]

You know what, I'm not waiting for an answer. Imma draw it myself.

[tepid crow]

https://tenor.com/bb8JL.gif

now add the possibilities with four fingers/shortcut

[runic pecan]

Does Four of a kind contains a Two Pairs?

🆗

[wintry solar]

Why doesn’t everything point to high card?

[runic pecan]

So sad I can't react to a react

[tepid crow]

I read it as it being implied

[zealous glen]

Straight can contain a Pair in Balatro

[wintry solar]

Flush can also contain all of the oaks

[runic pecan]

With 4fing, ig

[zealous glen]

why doesn't this work

[tepid crow]

this chart is "must contain" though, not "can contain"

[runic pecan]

I mean "guarantees to contain"

[zealous glen]

more precisely, I get this error

It's breaking inside SMODS.insert_pool

[wintry solar]

Oh right yeah that makes more sense

-# minus the high card

[runic pecan]

So since Four of a kind doesn't contain a Two Pairs,
I'll need to change "per scored Kings in played hand."
to "twice if scored hand contains Kings"

[minor magnet]

best joker ive ever made

[midnight forum]

Is there a way i can receive more context or something like intellisense? im trying to start out by looking at modded joker examples but im kinda lost since i just have to guess which methods and variables work with which. Maybe this also just has to do with my lack of understanding of lua

[frosty dock]

v is an instance of the Card class here, so any properties and methods defined on Card (in card.lua) will work with it

there's also LSP definition files in the works for steamodded

[violet void]

its apparently entering here

[midnight forum]

ah yes i also guessed that :), just wish there was a way my editor would actually tell me that it was xd. But i guess LSP definition files would do something like that when they are finished?

[frosty dock]

they should

[minor magnet]

what's the function to check which slot a joker is in?

or the variable

if it's a variable

[frosty dock]

wdym which slot

[maiden phoenix]

They prob mean pos

[minor magnet]

position in the joker area

[minor magnet]

ye

[maiden phoenix]

The vanilla way is to iterate over each card and find yours, idk if SMODS.find_card returns an index

[frosty dock]

(it doesn't)

[maiden phoenix]

Look at Ceremonial Dagger calculate code for an example

[violet void]

does anyone know how the partial hide works? (Only description with "Undiscovered" as name)
I only found the full hide

[dusk harness]

yeah but i cant seem to make it work correctly. if you're available tonight im gonna try again

[cursive glade]

is this the right way to add a voucher to the vouchers area? When I tried, it added it to the joker area for some reason

SMODS.add_card({
    set = "Voucher",
    key = "v_grabber",
})

[runic pecan]

I just noticed that I actually have never seen your code. Would you put a screenshot of your joker’s calculate function here so we can have a look?

[minor magnet]

what are the text color codes for the suits?

[dusk harness]

https://github.com/PILIX123/TwitchOverlay
line 35 to be more exact of where im trying to do the things

back to making CI/CD pipelines at work

[runic pecan]

You mean this part?

[runic pecan]

What do you mean by vouchers area?
As in bottom left corner of the shop?

[cursive glade]

yes

[runic pecan]

It depends.

[runic pecan]

add area = G.shop_vouchers, into the braket

[minor magnet]

so how would i use them in a joker, like C:SO_1[Hearts]?

[runic pecan]

Just {C:hearts}.
lower case, with s.

[cursive glade]

Nope, still added it to the joker area. Does it need to be in a specific context?

[minor magnet]

thank you!

[runic pecan]

You mean SMODS.add_card({ set = "Voucher", key = "v_grabber", area = G.shop_vouchers })doesn't work?

[minor magnet]

would this be too strong?

[cursive glade]

correct. doesn't work. adds voucher to joker area.

[runic pecan]

Huh.
Then I have no idea.
Sorry.

[vocal verge]

oh sick, flower pot synergy

personally i think it's fine

[cursive glade]

It's a little OP. I'd make it Rare or really expensive.

[runic pecan]

Then maybe you'll need to do it the old fashion way...?

game.lua, around line 3100, btw

[minor magnet]

it's kinda really hard to activate ive seen

[vocal verge]

it's basically a flower pot sidegrade but it makes the cards more useful

keep in mind flower pot is also uncommon and just gives 3x mult if you got all 4 suits

[minor magnet]

flower pot is also notoriously useless

[runic pecan]

X5 is better than X3, I guess

[minor magnet]

but it doesn't activate before scoring

[vocal verge]

see that part was left out

[minor magnet]

changing "played cards" to "scored cards"

[runic pecan]

If you mean context.after, then you need to say
"become Polychrome after scored"

[runic pecan]

Also you missed a comma after Club card
a Spades card -> Spade card

[minor magnet]

fixed

[vocal verge]

aren't those full stops

[manic rune]

make it a Rare joker then its good to go

[runic pecan]

Those are commas.
In which I especially appreciate that garb used oxford comma.

[vocal verge]

must be the low quality

[minor magnet]

everything good now?

[runic pecan]

and a Spades card -> and Spade card

[minor magnet]

okay

[minor magnet]

should it be scoring cards or scored cards

[runic pecan]

scoring, since it's active instead of passive

[minor magnet]

my english qualification is being tested here lmfao

im not passing peer review

do i need to make any more changes??

[runic pecan]

I mean, Flower Pot's description is right there for you to copy...?

[dusk harness]

yes

[minor magnet]

ye i did copy flower pot for the first part

the last part i was joking about

and the numerous typos

[prisma loom]

What this part of invis joker's code does?

[runic pecan]

Build a joker pool to choose from when copy, by the looks of it.
Oh, and the second and third line is for jiggling.

[runic pecan]

And where's your attempt at iterating through G.shop_jokers.cards?

[manic rune]

i have to realign every single line of code rn

😭

this is so mindnumbing

[runic pecan]

So I guess there's no rental_compat, then?

[dusk harness]

i didnt commit it, but i was doing something along the lines of

if G.shop_jokers ~= nil then
  print(G.shop_jokers.cards)
end```

but like it was giving me errors, or just infinite log

which means im doing something wrong because theres clearly a way to get it only once

[runic pecan]

Tryif G.shop_jokers then for i=1, #G.shop_jokers.cards do print(G.shop_jokers.cards[i].center.key) end end

[frosty dock]

there's <sticker>_compat for every SMODS.Sticker, so I think that also works for rental

[sturdy compass]

Hmm, I'm trying to change how stone cards work when a Joker is present but this setup is definitely not right, but I don't know what setup would be right here

[dusk harness]

ill try that later when i get home

pinned it in a different conversation so i dont loose it ill update you tonnight at like 7-8pm US estern

[prisma loom]

So this is Space Joker's code. Why there's no 1 in 4 chance memntioned anywhere? Only this wierd pseudorandom stuff that I find on every probability joker

how do I set up chances?

I couldnt find anything on smods wiki

[runic pecan]

So "this wierd pseudorandom stuff" is a real number ranges from 0 to 1;
and G.GAME.probabilities.normal is usually 1 (unless Oops all 6's is around);
and the joker's ability.extra is 4.

[prisma loom]

1 in 2 chance?

[prisma loom]

ah

[dusk harness]

thats actually useful to know, i might not use it ever but it makes reading the code better

[prisma loom]

why it compares: pseudorandom('space') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/self.ability.extra

what it checks for

[runic pecan]

They really should put this in SMODS doc, isn't it?

[dusk harness]

i mean trying to document an entire game that was made by one indie without any mods in head is kinda hard you know

[prisma loom]

isaac modders be like:

nah, I'd do

[dusk harness]

checks if the pseudorandom value, which is always gonna be between 0 and 1, is smaller than the probability of hitting, which means that it did hit

[open aspen]

heya, is there an example mod or a beginner tutorial that I can use to familiarize myself with making mods?

[maiden phoenix]

pseudorandom is a value between 0 and 1 with the seed "space"
G.GAME.probabilities.normal is the nominator which is a game value that can be modified by say "Oops all 6s"
Self.ability.extra is the value used a denominator

[runic pecan]

So imagine a stream of spectrum,
the left end is 0 and the right end is 1.
The middle point would be 0.5, a fifth from the right is 0.8, etc.

[prisma loom]

ok

I imagined

[dusk harness]

so lets say, base case is that space man is 1/4 chance, it checks that the the random value is less then 0.25

[prisma loom]

?

[open aspen]

with oops all 6s it would modify the numerator value in this case to 2 correct?

[maiden phoenix]

Yea it would multiply it by 2

[open aspen]

G.GAME.probabilities.normal will be 1, the space man has a 1/4 chance so Self.ability.extra is 4

1/4 = .25

then it takes a random value between 0 and 1 and checks if that value is less than .25

[runic pecan]

Then imagine there's a mark at a quarter from the left, aka 0.25

[open aspen]

sorry to necro my question but is there an example mod or a beginner tutorial that I can use to familiarize myself with making mods?

[prisma loom]

why it checks if it's less than .25

[runic pecan]

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

[devout pewter]

Is there a list of functions and attributes and stuff, like card.ability.extra.Xmult?

[open aspen]

tyy

[dusk harness]

because thats how math works /lh
