[open aspen]

imagine you divide all the numbers inbetween 0 and 1 into 4 quarters

[prisma loom]

wait hold on

I think

[open aspen]

all the numbers between 0 and .25 would be in one quarter

[prisma loom]

I undertand it now

[dusk harness]

hence why i added a light humour at the end

[prisma loom]

so 25 outcomes basically?

possible

[dusk harness]

kinda

[runic pecan]

Wait, hold on

[prisma loom]

holding

[dusk harness]

so lets normalize to numbers between 1 and 100

1/4 of 100 is 25 right

[prisma loom]

correct

[dusk harness]

if you were to choose a random number between 1 and 100

what are the chances you chose a number thats between 1 and 25

[prisma loom]

25 positive outcomes out 100 and game checks if generetaed number is 25 or lower (one of the positive outcomes)

[frosty dock]

[dusk harness]

yeah, 25 correct outcomes out of how many?

[prisma loom]

100?

[dusk harness]

yes

whats 25/100

[prisma loom]

a bit convoluted imo but smart ppl knew better when coming up with this

ig

[violet void]

how can I get the set from card for example here? it only seems to work when I do it from the center rather than card

[dusk harness]

i mean yeah but math is weird, 25/100 is 1/4 which is where we get the 0.25 on the right and random value on the left

[frosty dock]

card.ability.set

[violet void]

ty, I also have another question

this

[prisma loom]

thanks for explaining folks, my head now feels bigger and smarter

[runic pecan]

I love it so much that this channel is essentially a big study group in a hall.

[dusk harness]

the condition could also have been reversed to be
dont do the thing if the random number is greater than the chances

[dusk harness]

thats how we learn

[sturdy compass]

Asking this again, I've tried a bunch of different things since but still no dice

The things I've tried in question were adding .ability and .config to the values

[runic pecan]

What exactly do you want your joker to do with the stone cards?

[sturdy compass]

The joker allows them to keep rank and suit. I had this working but I'm trying to move the functionality to a take_ownership as opposed to the many lovely injections I had before for compat reasons

[tepid crow]

does the :update even get called? 🤔

[sturdy compass]

Would there be a reason it doesn't? It is an API method defined in the docs

[wintry solar]

You’re changing self and not card for starters

[open aspen]

modding this game is hella confusing

[sturdy compass]

are those values not of the enhancement though?

[wintry solar]

No, self is referring to the prototype object

[sturdy compass]

changing self to card is yielding the same result

[wintry solar]

It’s also not something that needs to be changed every frame

[sturdy compass]

Would calculate be more appropriate then?

[wintry solar]

It would make more sense to have an add_to_deck and remove_from_deck that effects cards already in G.playing_cards and then hook set ability to change the values of newly generated stone cards

[sturdy compass]

Alright I see that line of thinking. In that case, what would be the correct syntax to access those values on a card?

[wintry solar]

card.config.center.whatever iirc

[sturdy compass]

alright I'll give that a go then

Still no give with this implementation

wait I may be stupid

ok I kinda was but still no good. Forgot to make "card" in the second screenie "v"

[merry raven]

What's this do

[sturdy compass]

Supposed to give rank and suit back to stone cards

[merry raven]

Wait
I could have used card.config.center.always_scores this entire time to check for always-scoring cards

[sturdy compass]

Probably not because this implementation does not work lol

[merry raven]

Is that how it works with how you implemented no suits and no ranks

Aw

[prisma loom]

looks like this crashes the game

basically I need this joker to duplicate itself only at end of round with 1 in 6 chance

[wintry solar]

I think so yea

It’s somewhere in the card values, I don’t remember exactly where

[wintry solar]

You don’t need to take ownership

And it’d be v.config…

[sturdy compass]

Yeah I already changed to v.config

still no

[wintry solar]

@merry raven there’s actually a SMODS.always_scores(card)

[merry raven]

Bru

[sturdy compass]

lmao

[merry raven]

I could have used that instead of explicitly coding my Joker to only take in one or two cards

[merry raven]

How do you use it, is it like
if not SMODS.always_scores(card) then

For checking cards that don't have the always scores property like Stone cards?

[wintry solar]

It returns true if the card is marked as always scoring

[wintry solar]

How are you checking it works?

[runic pecan]

Variable card is used in two different context.
There's function input card and a local card.

[ionic verge]

moving this here bc i posted in wrong spot

[runic pecan]

Only duplicate itself?

[prisma loom]

yeah

[sturdy compass]

Both visually and actually playing a stone card with the joker present. If I'm not mistaken, setting replace_base_card to false allows the base card sprite to render? Also playing still only gives +50 chips

[wintry solar]

Did you respawn your joker?

[sturdy compass]

yes

I've been trying on new runs as well

[wintry solar]

Is this where smods is doing rarity calculations?

[ionic verge]

16/21 commons in a second test

[runic pecan]

But your code looks like it's duplicating any joker that is not itself.

[ionic verge]

its where vanilla does it for sure

[prisma loom]

So this part of the code creates an array of your jokers, then choses one and duplicates it and then adds to your deck

right?

[prisma loom]

its invis jokers code

Im working off of it

[wintry solar]

But is your code being patched in and considered?

[ionic verge]

lemme show what code its replacing

[runic pecan]

And what the heck is that indentation?

[wintry solar]

Can you send the full file?

[maiden phoenix]

Repetitions do not give the "Again" too if you just return repetitions

[ionic verge]

it replaces whats in blue, and the stuff above is what rarity is initially defined as to determine what rarity its gonna be

does smods also patch this?

[prisma loom]

dent?

what?

[wintry solar]

Yeah looks like it got munched, I’ll fix it when I do the other stuff 👍

[wintry solar]

Look at the dumps

[sturdy compass]

Can I separate the code from the file and send? I'd rather not send over my entire mod's main.lua (I haven't compartmentalized yet)

[wintry solar]

Yeah ofc

[ionic verge]

hm
thats not what my patch is called

[sturdy compass]

cool lol

[ionic verge]

looks like i know where to look

[wintry solar]

The dumps are in mods/lovely/dumps btw

[manic rune]

hmmm

is it possible to code an AI which automatically play balatro for u

🤔

[ionic verge]

well i did find the file smods is patching

[sturdy compass]

Here's everthing that should be affected

[ionic verge]

and it is indeed messing with mine

[runic pecan]

If you only want to duplicate ITSELF, then you should just drag if #G.joker.cards < G.jokers.config.card_limit then...end up to right under if pseudo...then and skip the pool building, skip the pseudo invis choosing, skip the local chosen_joker line, change it from local card to local _card, replace chosen_joker with card,

[manic rune]

shouldnt it be "<" instead of "<="? else, it will still duplicate even when your slot is 6/6

[ionic verge]

so should i be targeting the toml file to patch or should i search for one of these lines in common_events to patch

[wintry solar]

The set ability stuff should be hooking the Card:set_ability function, not take ownership stuff I think
Other than that, can you run a eval dp.hovered.config.center in debugplus whilst hovering a stone card you already had after getting the joker?

[wintry solar]

Just set your pattern as that top line

But make sure it retains functionality or you will break custom rarities

[ionic verge]

yeah

[prisma loom]

skip local card line? Isnt it responsible for removing negative editions?

I need to remove negatives

ic ic

[runic pecan]

Sorry, the problems I spotted in that picture is a little bit too numerous.

[prisma loom]

its alr I'm basically a toddler at modding so all of this is just a lego contruct for me

I just stich toghether diff parts of the code from vanilla and then try to figure out how to make it work

[runic pecan]

Now where were we? Post the screenshot of your current code.

[prisma loom]

one sec

oh shhoot

forgor chosen joker at the start

[frosty dock]

what's that formatting

and why are we calling card_eval_status_text manually?

[prisma loom]

Its from invis jokers code

[ionic verge]

hey is there an easier way to modify the rarity probabilities (like making uncommons appear more often etc) with a voucher before i patch something that smods is also patching

[frosty dock]

Rule #1 of base game jokers: don't copy from base game jokers

[frosty dock]

I think smods supports something along the lines of a G.GAME.uncommon_mod

[prisma loom]

well, documentation doesnt cover everything :(

[ionic verge]

ok so i dont have to make a patch then right?

cus id really prefer not to bork custom rarities

cool

[prisma loom]

vsCode

[wintry solar]

You can’t blame that monstrosity on vsc

[prisma loom]

idk man, you asking tough questions

[runic pecan]

Now fix the indentations.
You also don't need the k_no_other_jokers line since it always has itself to copy.

[prisma loom]

it gives me tips where to put certain symbols so I do

[ionic verge]

so for this id put something like G.GAME.rare_mod = [itself] * 4 in the redeem function, right?

[ionic verge]

was about to ask what was wrong then i saw this
whats this

[frosty dock]

there's a couple more obvious mistakes here

[runic pecan]

Yeah like
how did it even manage to get a 3-space indent

[frosty dock]

you're using G.joker instead of jokers in one place

and you're emplacing the original joker instead of the copy

the context check should be condensed to if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then (the last part only if you really don't want it to be blueprintable)

[frosty dock]

there's also randomly 3 tabs of indent where none belongs at all

[ionic verge]

mhm

in any case, seems my code works now

feels like theres a lot more uncommons/rares now

[runic pecan]

That code originally looks like this

[ionic verge]

can we stop riffing on a new coders indentation?

there was a point where it was constructive but thats well past

[runic pecan]

@prisma loom How is your calc code right now? Post the screenshot.

[prisma loom]

I'm fixing formatting haha

[ionic verge]

how do i have a deck automatically give a voucher at the start?

[prisma loom]

give me a minute

[normal crest]

I recommend you get some formatter that does it for you

Maybe the lua extension already does it, right click anywhere in your code, format document

[prisma loom]

?

[frosty dock]

that's the old guide

[prisma loom]

💀

[minor magnet]

how would i make it so a joker adding multiple editions at once only triggers the sound once?

[ionic verge]

i have no idea where to look for it in vanilla code and also if i did find how zodiac etc does it it probably wont work

[prisma loom]

damn...

[frosty dock]

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

[frosty dock]

the vanilla way does work, it's just config.vouchers (or config.voucher apparently)

[ionic verge]

just copy this wholesale (and set the key up right)?

[prisma loom]

oh shit it does

wow

[frosty dock]

copy what? you just put voucher/vouchers in your deck's config

[ionic verge]

ooooh use config

ok

dur

[frosty dock]

voucher being a single voucher key or vouchers being a table thereof

[ionic verge]

got it

[runic pecan]

Maybe just config = {voucher = 'v_[]'}
or config = {vouchers = {'v_[]','v_[]',...}}

[prisma loom]

card eval line went down

my bad

[ionic verge]

so this

[normal crest]

Probably strings

[ionic verge]

good point

[runic pecan]

And then _card:add_to_deck() and G.jokers:emplace(_card) instead of card:add_to_deck() and G.jokers:emplace(card).

[prisma loom]

whats the diff between _card and just card?

[normal crest]

You defined _card right above

[prisma loom]

just a name?

[normal crest]

Card is passed to the function, it refers to your joker

Yes just a name

[prisma loom]

ah ok

[runic pecan]

In this case, card is the joker itself, while _card is the copy, the duplicate.

[prisma loom]

ohhhh

makes sense

[prisma loom]

done

but joker does nothing atm

at least it's not crashing the game lol

[normal crest]

Well it's a 1 in 6 chance

[prisma loom]

that's smth

[prisma loom]

even with 3 dices

[ionic verge]

two things
this kind of context will work in a back's calculate, right?
and how would i code it to increase the price of all jokers in the future, not just the ones in hand

[sturdy compass]

Fascinating (also yes I did change to hooking)

[normal crest]

What version of steamodded are you using

[prisma loom]

"1.0.0~ALPHA-1302a-STEAMODDED"

[normal crest]

That's why

[prisma loom]

?

[normal crest]

Either update or don't use "context.main_eval"

Cus I think that's new

You have a very old version

So preferably update

[prisma loom]

should I fully replace old folder?

[normal crest]

The smods folder yes

When updating

[frosty dock]

use main_eval but yes

[ionic verge]

instead of calculate?

[frosty dock]

no as context instead not individual and not repetition

context.end_of_round and context.main_eval

[normal crest]

Is main eval just a replacement for not (context.repetition or context.individual)

[prisma loom]

Now the game crashes

[normal crest]

What's the log

[prisma loom]

[frosty dock]

under vanilla conditions, it's the same. but it's important in case something adds a different context

it's mostly to avoid the use of negative context checks because they're very fragile

[normal crest]

update your other mods too

And lovely too

[prisma loom]

kk

[minor magnet]

bump

[frosty dock]

don't add multiple editions-? cards can only have one anyway

[maiden river]

is there documentation on custom sets? e.x. the cine cards in reverie

[runic pecan]

I'd suggest put a delay(0.2) between each of them.

[prisma loom]

I added these launch options

and game doesnt launch now

[normal crest]

That's for linux

[ionic verge]

how would i have my deck increase the price of jokers in the shop by one?

[prisma loom]

Ive updated lovely and smodded. Crash still here

[ionic verge]

(bump so its not burried by the log)

[runic pecan]

iter through G.shop_jokers.cards and v.cost = v.cost + 1
or maybe hook with get_cost if that's a thing

[normal crest]

Check if there's a new debugplus version

[ionic verge]

so is shop_jokers all jokers currently in the shop or all jokers that can be in the shop

[runic pecan]

Would you like to consider taking tax aside purchases instead of changing every joker's price labels?

[ionic verge]

for the record the idea is this:

[runic pecan]

all jokers currently on the shop shelf

[runic pecan]

The crash log says you tried to juice up a nil object, which it can't.

[normal crest]

Its saying juice_up doesn't exist

[prisma loom]

its rudimental part of my code

ive deleted it now

it worked even with it

it shouldnt be the cause of the crash

[normal crest]

If you toggle your mod off does it load

Just move it outside mod folder

[runic pecan]

What timing/event does the crash happen?

[prisma loom]

end of round

[prisma loom]

no

should it?

[normal crest]

So it's crashing without your mod?

[prisma loom]

how could it crash if I dont have modded jokers?

it crashes at end of round

when my modded joker should duplicate itself

[normal crest]

Could be a smods error too

I see the issue now tho

[prisma loom]

is it fixable?

[normal crest]

In your code change your card_eval_status_text to

return {
   message = localize("blah blah")
}

[runic pecan]

May I see the whole picture of your SMODS.Joker{...} code?

[normal crest]

I think the issue is you're using "or self" instead of "or card", but you can just replace that entire line with the return I sent

[prisma loom]

ummmm

it works!

[wintry solar]

Well I guess the code works in some way 😂

[prisma loom]

but if Joker is negative it creates 2 non negative copies of itself

[maiden river]

made the custom card area, but the card doesn't go in there yet

[sturdy compass]

Very true. I figured out the scoring thing since the game specifically checks for stone cards, but the rendering is still odd to me since replace_card_base is false

[wintry solar]

Oh the drawing will specifically check for stone too

I don’t know why I didn’t think of that first

[sturdy compass]

oh bruh

[runic pecan]

Just like Invisible joker... wait you said 2 copies?
As in, 1 becomes 3(1+2)?

[wintry solar]

You can probably just change the name value in the center

I don’t think that’ll break anything

[sturdy compass]

surely

[prisma loom]

yes

Negative (original) stays + spawns 2 copies with no edition

[normal crest]

You might need to put your copying code in an event

[prisma loom]

but only if Im at 4/6 spaces in joker area

[runic pecan]

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
        _card:add_to_deck
        G.jokers:emplace(_card)
        return true
    end
}))```

[ionic verge]

how would i loop through all jokers in the game

its not G.jokers right? cus thats just the ones you have

[frosty dock]

for what purpose?

[runic pecan]

I still hold my suggestion about taxing.

[frosty dock]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker works

[ionic verge]

i want to increase the cost of all by one

[frosty dock]

uh

isn't there G.GAME.inflation or something like that

[wintry solar]

Can’t you hook set_cost?

Oh that works too

[ionic verge]

is there actually?

[wintry solar]

There is indeed something like that yeah

[ionic verge]

(and again its specifically for this)

[runic pecan]

*are increased

[ionic verge]

noted

[runic pecan]

What if there's a coupon tag used?

Or any other tag that would spawn a free joker.

[ionic verge]

i mean should just apply after this i feel

[prisma loom]

like this?

[runic pecan]

Let's go step-by-step.
Highlight from local to }))

[prisma loom]

yes

done

[runic pecan]

Hold Shift and click Tab twice

[prisma loom]

done

[runic pecan]

And delete the last three lines before else

[prisma loom]

done!

[runic pecan]

Now post the screenshot.

[prisma loom]

yeah ig these were dupes

[runic pecan]

Looks good to me.

[ionic verge]

does the % operator exist in lua 5.1?

[prisma loom]

game crashes when launched :D

[wintry solar]

Yes

[runic pecan]

Yes

[ionic verge]

ok so thats not why code dont work

[minor magnet]

if i wanted to make a joker that destroys all debuffed cards in the deck, how would i do that?

[ionic verge]

so im using inflation right, right?

[frosty dock]

why do you card = self

oh right vanilla

[runic pecan]

Yep. That's card.lua for you.

[potent glen]

Quick question about the documentation, how can I get the card being added in the playing_card_added context?
I've tried to access cards as an array like cards[0]:get_id() and it says cards is null, and when i access cards as a single variable like cards:get_id() the error message also says nil?

[runic pecan]

Lua start from 1 instead of 0

[wintry solar]

context.cards is the array

[runic pecan]

So which line in your code is line 188?

[potent glen]

You could loop through the deck like so:

`
for k, curCard in pairs(G.playing_cards) do

end
`

and see where in card.lua it returns if a card is debuffed? I think there's a variable just called "debuff"

[potent glen]

Also thank you @wintry solar and @runic pecan I'm probably missing both of those!

[runic pecan]

Weird, this doesn't look wrong to my knowledge...

[prisma loom]

HUUUHHH???

it works now

wtf

I didnt do anything

just tried to launch the game

once more

its fixed now!

everything works

[potent glen]

Yup now it checks for the right card! Thank you both!

[dusk harness]

this deck look hard AF, what's topshelf and premium?

[runic pecan]

Uncommon 2X and Rare 4X appear chance, respectively.

[minor magnet]

my jokers are getting incredibly creative, will probably release the mod soon

[dusk harness]

ok might be worth the uptick in cost

[dusk harness]

thats one way to clean out your deck

[ionic verge]

to increase the cost of each joker by one every other boss blind, id do this right?

[tepid crow]

I have a joker with a foil tooltip (since it works with the Foil edition), but it gets the tooltip twice if the joker has the foil edition
I don't like the double tooltip, is the best way to prevent really to check if the joker has the edition?

[dusk harness]

i mean the keyword feels right, i have no idea im still a noob at this

[runic pecan]

By the looks of it, yeah.

[runic pecan]

I think you should keep it. It’s funnier that way.

[tepid crow]

Right? It retriggers the foil tooltips too

[ionic verge]

sanity check
2 % 2 will return zero, right?

[minor magnet]

rare or uncommon?

not sure which would be better

[wintry solar]

I don’t think any cards are debugged when you select a blind

[runic pecan]

Yeah, maybe change it to first drawn hand.

[maiden river]

I see in the smods docs that consumables have a calculate function
does it actually work with the joker contexts (like joker_main, before, after, etc.)?

[minor magnet]

actually yea they are

on boss blinds they are debuffed from the moment you press the button

[wintry solar]

Huh

I suppose that makes sense

[wintry solar]

Yes all calculate functions work the same

[maiden river]

hmm

mine isn't for some reason

lemme send the code

SMODS.Consumable({
    key = "boira",
    set = "Weapon",
    atlas = 'placeholder',
    loc_txt = {name = "Boira", text = {"Everyone's favorite weapon!"} },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            print("this ran!")
            return {
                chips = 10
            }
        end
    end,
})```

[lusty epoch]

I think you can just check if it’s foil before adding the infoqueue

[storm kraken]

wha what

what does this even do

[maiden river]

it's ten chips

[lusty epoch]

Some cryptid jokers do this if you need a reference

[maiden river]

I'm adding another slot for consumables

[storm kraken]

oh k

[maiden river]

but it doesn't work lmao 😭

[ionic verge]

ok why isnt this saying config exists

[storm kraken]

i didnt know you could use calculate on consumeables

[ionic verge]

it very much does

[wintry solar]

If it’s a new area you have to add your area to be calculated

[maiden river]

oh

that would make sense, actually

is that something that smods covers or do I have to figure that out on my own

[wintry solar]

There’s a function you need to hook

[tepid crow]

Yeah that's what I went with in the end 🤷🏻‍♂️

[old bane]

how do i check what rank is being played in a Three of a Kind (and all other hands containing it, like a Full House and Five of a Kind)?

Cause I can guess how it works for a Three of a Kind, but for the Full House, I don't know how I would find out which rank there is more of

[devout pewter]

Hi, I want to make a Joker give x1.5 mult, increasing by x0.5 per card scored, if the played hand is a hearts flush. How would I go about doing it? I read some references in the smods wiki, but I'm horribly lost as to what I can do and can't do. Would anyone be kind and walk me through on how to do it?

Do I set a function as the xmult variable and check for the card scored context?

and then just call that xmult variable every time a card scores?

[prisma loom]

So I've tried to add 1.5 xmult to the joker according to tutorial but it crashes the game for some reason. Is everything correct here?

[old bane]

what does the crash say

[old bane]

can you show me line 175 of your code please, i can't see the line numbers in your screen shot

[old bane]

oh wait i think i see the error, you have vars == instead of vars =

what the code thinks you're doing is you're comparing vars to center.ability.extra.Xmult, which it can't do.

you have to have it so that the value in vars is your card.ability.extra.Xmult variable

[wintry solar]

There’s also normal brackets not curly ones

[prisma loom]

it just showed an error so I though smth was wrong :(

[old bane]

yeah, do return { ... } and not return ( ... )

[prisma loom]

oh yeah its the brackets

still crashes!

[wintry solar]

Start a new run

[maiden river]

[manifest]
version = "1.0.0"
priority = 15

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = 'smods/src/utils.lua'
pattern = "-- TARGET: add your own CardAreas for joker evaluation"
position = "before"
match_indent = true
payload = "t[#t+1] = G.weapons"

my patch doesn't seem to be applied, although I think I'm doing it right, based on older messages

[wintry solar]

The target is wrong

[maiden river]

oh?

what should it be

[manic rune]

what's the difference between Xmult_mod and x_mult?

[wintry solar]

'=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]'

[maiden river]

that also makes sense

[old bane]

x_mult is a global variable that I don't think you can change, Xmult_mod is how you have Jokers apply Xmult

[wintry solar]

You should use xmult so you don’t need to do all the other crap in your return

[manic rune]

oh, so if i use Xmult_mod then I'd need to manually make the message, while x_mult does that automatically basically?

[manic rune]

i do use x_mult to make my jokers apply xmult tho

[old bane]

oh nvm then

[maiden river]

everything works now! thanks for all the help

[wintry solar]

You don’t need to do anything _mod anymore

[old bane]

When I play a Full House, how do I get the "more common" rank (aka the rank that I play 3 of)?

[wintry solar]

Look at the three of a kind part of the poker hands table

[runic pecan]

How about back.ability.extra instead of back.config.extra?

[old bane]

so like
next(context.poker_hands["Three of a Kind"])

and then i would look inside the table itself?

[wintry solar]

Yeah

[prisma loom]

I want odds to dynamically change in the descp of the Joker when its affected by smth like opps joker. Am I doing it right?

[normal crest]

oops all 6s modifies G.GAME.probabilities

so your joker is already compatible

if you want it to change on the description you should return G.GAME.probabilities.normal as a var in loc_vars

and change the joker description accordingly

[marble flint]

Namely, use #2# to for a second interpolated variable

[prisma loom]

like this?

[ionic verge]

tried that, also crashed

[normal crest]

yes that's fine

in the description #1# refers to the 1st value you return in vars, #2# to the 2nd and so on

[prisma loom]

ahhh

so thats why it shows me 1.5

just like my mult does

ic ic

Is there a way to give Joker a custom sell value?

not just half of its cost as it is on default

[fringe ember]

Do we have a quick/easy ref doc for contexts [like singling out, say, Heart face cards]? Dipping my toes into modding this game and I have never coded in Lua before, but got a background in Python and whatever language BG3 uses [I think Osiris?]

what I'm basically doing is making a companion mod to my skin mod

[marble flint]

Yeah, it's pretty easy

iirc there's Card:is_face() and Card:get_suit() (or something similar)

[rough furnace]

Card:is_suit iirc

(so wild cards work)

[marble flint]

ah, it's Card:is_suit('Hearts')

[minor magnet]

how do i check if card sold is a consumable

[rough furnace]

if you have the card you can check card.ability.consumeable iirc

[minor magnet]

ok alright

[fringe ember]

did i ruin my run just to get this shot for when i eventually release it? yes, yes i did

but i had to cause idk when i was able to get the opp again

anyway back to picking apart code to see how it works ✌️

[last sentinel]

Anyone know how to change the "poker hand" in a calculation step? Or if its easier, get the chip/mult value for the current level of a hand? e.g. A joker "turns" two-pairs into 4 of a kinds, I want the chips/mult to change accordingly either by directly changing the hand or by pulling whatever the current 4oaK level is so i can add it to the 2-pair

[wind turtle]

how do I check what suit a card is?

[violet void]

card:is_suit

[tepid crow]

Scroll up like 7 messages

[wind turtle]

thanks

not suit i meant enhancement

im stupid and woke up pretty sick this morning forgive me

i need to check what enhancement a card has

[marble flint]

check card.ability (for playing cards)

in particular, card.ability.name is helpful

[wind turtle]

ok, is there a way to also do that for seals?

[violet void]

card.seal afaik

[wind turtle]

seemingly not

or maybe itll only do that if the seal exists?

or maybe its because i tried to do card.seal.name

[violet void]

just seal

[wintry solar]

Don’t use .name on anything

[marble flint]

card:get_seal(true) (the true ignores debuffs)

[violet void]

eremel I have one question i wasnt able to get an answer to, if youre available

[fallen pelican]

are most of the mod devs working with new calc already?

[wind turtle]

one final thing, how do I get what edition (foil/polychrome/etc) a card is?

[wintry solar]

Sure

[marble flint]

card.edition

[violet void]

do you know where I need to look for handling partial hiding for the cards? I need to add a check for my custom center

so far I only found the full hide

[wintry solar]

Hiding?

[violet void]

of the card info

when its not discovered

[wintry solar]

Oh

I don’t know, sorry

[violet void]

But I found out the issue is that it discovers the card instantly when they are generated in the pack rather than when I buy them

I tested with prints and it only happens with my center and not the other cards, I cant understand how they avoid it

wasnt successful following self.params.discover

[wind turtle]

i'm trying to check if two cards have the same edition, and it's returning a table, so what do i do here

[prisma loom]

Thanks everyone who helped me out with Banana Split <3 🎉 🎉 🎉

[marble flint]

Don't know offhand

[prisma loom]

One of my favourite ones! :D

[wintry solar]

edition.key iirc

[marble flint]

that sounds right

[violet void]

(Must have room)?

[prisma loom]

oh yeah right

I'll add that rn

[marble flint]

What are you using to spawn in Jokers?

[prisma loom]

this magic

[marble flint]

no, the in-game util

sorry

[wintry solar]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664

[marble flint]

Thanks

[wind turtle]

tried that and

time to make a function!!! yay!!!

[wintry swallow]

using steamodded, if i create a new lua file can i just import it as a module ?

[old bane]

how do i detect the edition of a card? (for example, if a card is foil)

[wind turtle]

had to make this silly little function

[wind turtle]

hey i just went through that! you can check edition.key

[wintry solar]

Does the card have an edition?

[wind turtle]

but sometimes that'll be null

[wind turtle]

i wrote a function to handle the case where it doesn't and now we're all good

[wintry solar]

That’s a completely unnecessary function

[wind turtle]

without it the game crashed

[wintry solar]

Just make sure it has one first

card.edition and card.edition.key or nil

[old bane]

will the edition.key be like "Foil" or something

or like G.P_CENTERS.m_foil

[wintry solar]

e_foil would be the key for foil

That isn’t where your crash is

[wintry swallow]

line 359 pls

[late shadow]

forgot to include the numbers

wait

wrong thing 😭

i put the wrong sc, of a diff attempt

ok here

[wintry solar]

Your context check isn’t specific enough

[late shadow]

ahh ty

what am i missing ?

its supposed to be whenever a joker is ever added

so not like a specific context like at end of blind or shop etc

[wintry solar]

Well when do you want it to trigger

[wind turtle]

anyways the joker works now

[late shadow]

its looking for if any joker with meeb in its name is ever added

[wind turtle]

it gives 5x mult if you play two of the exact same card (seal, edition, rank, suit, and enhancement)

[rough furnace]

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

[late shadow]

its pretty much the same thing as baseball card, except instead of rarity it searches for if its any of a few specific jokers

[topaz sun]

How can i make those position indicators appear in Option Cycles in a mod config?

[ionic verge]

how do i check if its a boss blind it is with context (and preferably, what ante it is as well)

[violet void]

context.blind.boss by looking at Madness

and G.GAME.round_resets.ante I think

[old bane]

how do i check the name of a Joker and find a word in that Joker’s name? i think string find would work for the second part, but how would i get the joker name?

[wind turtle]

ok i was getting this error, idk why

i tried to send this ~6 minutes ago and there was some sort of outage lol

[old bane]

are you looping through an array? if so, make sure you have #(arrayname) so that it gets the length of the array

[wind turtle]

all my jokers that loop through an array work

it happens in one with No looping at all

the one that has a 1% to instantly end the run

[dreamy thunder]

im so lost, how would i make a config file and menu for my mod?

[violet void]

you mean a settings tab for your mod?

[dreamy thunder]

yh nvm the file

i got it

[dreamy thunder]

but i do need help with the settings tab

[violet void]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-functions

I followed this guide

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/UI-Guide

And this one for the UI

[dreamy thunder]

oh i never saw this

thanks

[naive notch]

Is it possible to create a joker whose effects are always active, even if you dont have it?

[rough furnace]

what is it's effect?

[naive notch]

I didnt have anything in mind, I was just wondering if it was possible

[marble flint]

Sure it's possible

mildly annoying but possible

[mellow marsh]

the mod i've been working on is nearly finished and i'm very excited to release it but i'm worried people are gonna blow me up for terrible code

i don't know if cross-mod compatibility is something a lot of mods tend to try to prioritize but i feel like my mod likely won't be compatible with very much bc of how many patches i have to do everywhere

[tepid crow]

cross-mod compat is usually better than you expect in my experience

though I would still recommend checking out Dim's modpack together with your mod to see if any obvious issues arise

[marble flint]

you can also always fix it later if issues arise

[orchid thunder]

how tf do seals work

im tryong to create a custom object that works like seals and i cant get it to work

[wintry solar]

why is this in a toml file

[smoky talon]

This is my first time doing anything with code, I’m trying to make my first balatro mod. I’m making a tarot card that turns 4 cards into queens, I used most of the code from the strength tarot card. whenever I launch the game it gives this error

[wooden badge]

@smoky talon Which line is 132 exactly in your code

[smoky talon]

The first one that says local suit prefix

[wooden badge]

It has a problem with the way you have declared one of those local variables, not sure exactly what though off the top of my head

what is string.sub?

If it spits out a string then I think it might not like how you’ve appended the underscore

[smoky talon]

I just copied the code for strength

[edgy reef]

G.hand.highlighted[i] is the problem

[smoky talon]

I see

[wooden badge]

Oh completely missed that

Yeah the line above isn’t really doing anything

[smoky talon]

Delete it?

[wooden badge]

Well the point is that you are looping through the elements in the highlighted hand array so the ‘I ’ indexing is necessary to access it

[smoky talon]

I deleted it and now it says this (sorry for the weird pics lol, I’m using discord on my phone)

I can readd it if needed

[wooden badge]

Hang on

[smoky talon]

K

[wooden badge]

Gonna switch to my laptop

Phone is crap for typing

[smoky talon]

Fair

[wooden badge]

you need to assign the element G.hand.highlighted[i] as a local variable

probably card if you copied it straight from Strength, seeing as the following line is using an undefined object called 'card'

[smoky talon]

How do I do that?

[wooden badge]

just say local card = G.hand.highlighted[i]

and then card is referenced properly in the next line

[wintry solar]

@maiden phoenix added the default 'Again!' message, what was the other problem?

[wooden badge]

you realise that without a reference to an i anywhere within your for loop you can't actually iterate through the array?

[maiden phoenix]

The joker wouldn't juice_up without card = card and redeem voucher is broken if you start with it in a deck and try to reference the card parameters

[wintry solar]

which context was the juicing in?

[wooden badge]

and delete the one above that is the problem

[maiden phoenix]

Anything that usually uses card = card, for my case it was repetitions and G.hand individual

[wooden badge]

the G.hand.highlighted[i] on its own needs to go

because it doesnt know what to do with it

[smoky talon]

I deleted that and now it says this

[wooden badge]

show your code now

because its syntax issue

[tepid crow]

do you not have discord on your computer/laptop btw? why are we taking pictures of the screen instead of screenshots, or better yet, code blocks

[smoky talon]

I don’t have it on Mac

[tepid crow]

(you're missing an end)

[smoky talon]

I can get it if I need to

[wooden badge]

yeah there is an end missing for the elseif

you should be wary of how you indent things to keep track of nested branches

i personally hate single line if branches unless they are dead short

[smoky talon]

It works now

Never mind

The game opens but the card does nothing

[wooden badge]

what do you want it to do?

oh right sorry you did say earlier

missed that

[smoky talon]

it should convert up to 4 cards to queens

im on my mac now too btw

[wooden badge]

well where is it actually doing the conversion?

[smoky talon]

so screenshots should look better

[wooden badge]

I think the set_base function handles that?

[smoky talon]

i assumed that what i had was doing it but it seems that just declares rank suffixes instead of changing them

[wooden badge]

but you've just assigned loads of variables and passed them through if branches, there is no process actually doing the conversion

[smoky talon]

i see that now

[wooden badge]

You'll need to fiddle with your if logic in order to check if the highlighted card is NOT a queen

[smoky talon]

any idea how i actually do the concversion? can't seem to find it in the source code

[wooden badge]

and then turn it into one

i've just checked strength now and seen you've copy and pasted a portion exactly - strength doesn't really do what you want to

[smoky talon]

its the closest base-game card to what im trying to do, so i figured it could help, but it seems not

[wooden badge]

well it will, but you need to understand what it is actually doing and edit appropriately - you can't copy exactly and expect it to work

[smoky talon]

thats why im here lol, to find out what im siupposed to do

[wooden badge]

have you ever coded at all before?

[smoky talon]

not much

just a little bit

[wooden badge]

ok, it is worth understanding principles but there is no reason why you can't learn doing this

[smoky talon]

alright

[wooden badge]

so if you look at line 129, the rank_suffix definition is doing what strength is meant to do so you probably don't need the stuff on the right of the equals for that

[smoky talon]

like this?

yeah and you will just need an if check like if rank_suffix ~= 12 then rank_suffix = 'Q' . It's a little improper to have rank_suffix as an integer and assign it as a string after, but the string is what is going to go in set_base. if you want you can have two separate variables handling that

card:set_base(G.P_CARDS[suit_prefix..rank_suffix]) I believe this actually does the conversion

[smoky talon]

it works

it feels so staticany way to get the animation though?

my keybaodr messed up lol

any way to get the animation for the transformation?

[wooden badge]

well set_base doesn't handle the animation, just the mechanic. If you look back at the source code and check the function Strength's code resides in (use_consumeable) then you will see line 1102-1109 handles the animation

[last sentinel]

Whats the best way to dynamically change the extra.mult in a joker's config within the calculation function?

[wooden badge]

well 1106-1109 does the animation

1102-1105 juices the tarot used

[wooden badge]

need to be a bit more specific

are you trying to update the mult value on a joker after osmething happens, like spare trousers and fortune teller?

[last sentinel]

Sorta, it doesnt increase mult though i need to set it to a value, i guess id just be changing mult then not extra

The joker adds the chips and mult depending on the hand played,

simplified example: I need to have 4 mult for a full house and 2 for a three of a kind. I have all the logic figured out and the mult and chips i want to be added stored in a variable i just need to directly add the mult and chips

[frosty dock]

vanilla code for anything that has to do with ranks and suits should not be used at all, it's really jank and falls apart with anything modded involved

[wooden badge]

ok noted

[minor magnet]

chat is he perfect yes or yes

[frosty dock]

yes

[last sentinel]

he's everything

[wintry solar]

what is the squeaky sound

[minor magnet]

i will record it wait

[smoky talon]

the animation kinda works, it just spins around 3 times tho, really funny and fits the mod though so im keeping it

thanks for all the help

ill probably be back for more help later lol

[wooden badge]

well just reassign the variable you set up in loc_vars?

are these mult and chip values what are shown on their planet cards?

[wintry solar]

juicing should be fixed now 👍

[minor magnet]

originally he didn't even give mult but I wanted to make him just the littlest bit useful so you have a reason to buy him other than love

[old bane]

if i wanted to get variables from another joker would i do something like
context.other_card.ability.extra.varname
or
context.other_card.config.extra.var

[wintry solar]

he's great

[modern kindle]

Best modded card yet

[last sentinel]

so if this is my config setup, then later just run

vars = {the_mult_that_i_want, the_chips_that_i_want}

at the end of calculate?

[wooden badge]

when do you want to mult and chips to be given, during the main joker calculation phase?

like when it goes ding ding ding ding along the line

[last sentinel]

ideally before but along the line ding dong works too

[wooden badge]

Right so for that you need to be in context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main and then return the vars you've shown

but obvs they are default zero

so maybe in context.before you'll want them to update according to the hand played

[wintry solar]

you don't need a cardarea check in joker_main

[old bane]

is there documentation on like what each context does?

[wintry solar]

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

[last sentinel]

sick okay was already doing as such so hopefully that in joker_main should work

[wooden badge]

good to know

you might not need it but it will still access

[last sentinel]

alright we went from crashing on start to not working

I call that progress

[wooden badge]

it most certainly is

you'll need to update their values in context.before

if you havent already

[mellow marsh]

this modpack just crashes on its own even without my mod 😭 i guess i'll be fine

[last sentinel]

oh so update vars in both context.before and joker.main?

[fringe ember]

-# i'm so braindead, i didn't realize there was a modding for dummies part of the smods docs

[wooden badge]

no just in context.before and then it will use the new value when it accesses joker_main

[wintry solar]

you can update them in joker_main

it doesn't matter where you update them

[wooden badge]

if you want a message to push before scoring then it will need to be in before

but yeah technically you can update them wherever

but i'd assume you'd want to notify the player of the new values before scoring like something like spare trousers or runner does

[wintry solar]

it would depend on what the effect actually is

[fringe ember]

Asking a dummy's question, but I assume the atlas pos is measured in pixels? Like if there's 2 cards in a row horizontally, Card A would be 0,0 anc Card B 72,0

and then Card C on a new line 0,96

[timid parrot]

Nope

[marble flint]

nope! it's measured in full cards

[last sentinel]

nah thats why you need px and py to define the pixel width and height

[marble flint]

so, 0,0, 1,0, 0,1

[last sentinel]

I'm basically wanting the game to "treat" one hand as if its another. i.e. I played a two pair but i want the chips and mult of a full house. I'm adding the chip and mult difference between the two hands to the chips and mult, therefore id want it to be added likely right when the hand is played

still not getting anything changing though. is it literally just self.vars = {value_1, value_2} or should i be calling something else?

[fringe ember]

i am so glad i asked

[fringe ember]

I've already got that defined earlier in the code

[wooden badge]

if you want one hand to be 'treated' as another it might be worth just accessing their values directly in G.GAME.hands

[last sentinel]

Yeah i already am

[wintry solar]

you should probably alter them before any joker calculation is called at all tbh

[wooden badge]

where is this in your code?

like at what point is this happening

because I've never used this way before

[last sentinel]

at the very end, within calculate/context.before

very new to lua/smods so please share any better ideas for getting it done lol

[wooden badge]

so are you sure that that third line is behaving properly, like you know that mult_to_add and chips_to_add are the correct values

[last sentinel]

not 100

[wooden badge]

for debugging you can just put prints in on variables to see what their values are

it will show in the console

[last sentinel]

ooh word

but tried putting just like integers direct into the self.vars call and it still wasnt doing anything so something else is afoot

but will try that

[wooden badge]

yeah I don't think that self.vars thing works because it's not telling the game to insert those values into the hand score anywhere,

also I'm not sure why you are referencing the getting_sliced context, I think that is only for start of round destruction

like dagger and madness 'slicing' a joker for its effect

you'll need context.cardarea == G.jokers as well as a check

[last sentinel]

makes sense, building this on the foundation of a Buffoonery joker so they probably had that in theirs for some other purpose

[wooden badge]

with the before context

[smoky talon]

how do i make a tarot card that upgrades the last played hand by 4 levels?

[wooden badge]

the inner if check will only need to check one or the other because it can never be both

like if it is a two pair then it most certainly isn't a full house ever

by this i mean you just need to check if it is a two pair right?

You can rid of the 'if not full house' check

[wooden badge]

it's better to ask specifics about your code and what you want stuff to do rather than ask someone to literally make the card for you

[smoky talon]

i know, just wondering what function to use, cant seem to find the one that does the upgrading in the source code

ive been looking

[timid parrot]

Probably gonna require some injections

Also w o w 4 levels for a tarot card?!

[smoky talon]

its gonna be a bit broken lol

[last sentinel]

theres crashes without that check, pretty sure with how the processing of the paired cards works after that. thats also from the Buffoonery joker and there was a specific note that that was necessary to prevent crashes 🤷‍♀️

[wooden badge]

ok, i was just guessing but if you know that to be true then do that by all means

[wooden badge]

check Orbital Tag

[smoky talon]

alright

[fringe ember]

ok so i'm stuck on this part. trying to get it to trigger on only face heart cards but I can't figure it out

https://github.com/shadowfelled/balatrosgate3/blob/main/main.lua starting at line 57

tossed it on gh just so i don't forget to later

[wooden badge]

@last sentinel so if im understanding, you want a played two-pair to become a full house by converting the unscored card into one of the two-pair ranks randomly?

[last sentinel]

Yes, thats what the Buffoonery joker did so its where im starting, and that has been working with what i have. Eventually want it to work for other played hands. More importantly though I want the game to recognize the hand as a full house either by directly recognizing the hand(which i think would take some patches or other injections to change the hand mid-play), or adding to the chips/mult to reflect the hand it becomes (which is where the mult_to_add and chips_to_add is coming from)

[wooden badge]

also in that single/index for loop you have value and idex the wrong way round - pairs produces index and value in that order

[smoky talon]

i copied the orbital code related to upgarding the levels and when i try to use it it says this

oh wait i should remove the orbital part

[wooden badge]

copying orbital's code verbatim is never going to work

[smoky talon]

i knew that, i just wanted to see if it did something so i could go from there

[wooden badge]

the source code should give you ideas of how a particular mechanic is programmed, you have to figure out your variables and the steamodded API basics yourself

[smoky talon]

k

[wooden badge]

you need to read what it is doing, make sense of it and then adapt it into your 'world'

I suggested orbital tag because it is something that levels up hands that aren't planets, so it will give you a jumping off point

[old bane]

so i have it so that certain Jokers have "types" (controlled by a variable in their config.extra/ability.extra) and I want to make it so that a Joker gets disabled if there are other Jokers of that "type", how would I check for that?

[wooden badge]

sounds f'd

[wooden badge]

good luck with it, not something I can help off the top of my head but hope there was some useful info

which mod is buffoonery from?

[last sentinel]

buffoonery is the name of the mod, Pertinent Argument is the joker that I got the unscored card two-pair/full house convert thing from

https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Buffoonery/Jokers

[grand sage]

hello I'm trying to make a mod and whenever I open the game with my mod active it gives me this error can anyone help me?

[fringe ember]

first initial thought is file naming/folder structuring

if context.joker_main and Card:is_suit('Hearts') and Card:is_face() then

            return {
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
                
            }
end```

why do i have a feeling this is cataclysmically wrong

basically trying to get scored Heart faces to x2 mult

[open aspen]

does it not work?

[wooden badge]

what is the Card object?

because that looks taken directly from those functions' definitions in the source code

[fringe ember]

i have no clue

[fringe ember]

all i did is copy-paste

[wooden badge]

that won't do

[fringe ember]

i don't know lua like. at all

i know python

and a smidge of osiris

but not lua

[wooden badge]

it is using Card as the argument of the is_suit and is_face function, but it probably isn't declared anywhere in your code

you need to replace Card with the actual card elements you are trying to process

within context.individual and context.other_card as the actual playing card in question

im assuming you want it to work like bloodstone does

[fringe ember]

Yeah

Basically Bloodstone but with the face card caveat

and the not chance

[wooden badge]

ok so this

and not inside joker_main because that takes place when all the jokers are being evaluated normally

use if context.cardarea == G.play then instead

[fringe ember]

i am still that one gif rn

hold on

https://tenor.com/view/shy-lily-gif-24953018

i'm sorry for being a pain lmao but. new territory for me

[wooden badge]

so if context.cardarea == G.play then first

[fringe ember]

before or after joker_main

and that block

[wooden badge]

you will never need joker_main because your joker does nothing during the main joker phase

you need to read thishttps://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-%E2%80%90-Joker-Calculation

[old bane]

how does four fingers make a hand a flush/straight? I would like to make it so that when i play all four suits it counts as a flush instead

[wooden badge]

reference bloodstone's source code as well

it comes down to entering context.individual which makes the playing card being evaluated context.other_card

its all there in the doc

step 4/5

goes through how cards are scored

[fringe ember]

o7 thanks

[tall wharf]

there is an argument for the function that checks for straight so it knows that it can skip

I've been trying to come up with an algorithm that basically allows you to play up to 14 cards in a row for straight

[lucid owl]

can card_eval_status_text() be made immediate? or should i just go for an event?

[tall wharf]

actually difficult programming

[old bane]

i can tell, my head hurts >_<

[tall wharf]

i think for you you just have to check for each card if it's in a suit

[old bane]

and then how would i change the current played hand into a flush (i think after that I would just have to make the scored_hand equal to the full hand so that all cards are scored)

[marble flint]

It can, but an event is very likely more appropriate

[fringe ember]

Getting this error on starting up. Swear I saw someone else having the same problem but it disappeared

It's funny cause it worked before I tried to muck around with theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

joker code

[grand sage]

yeah im getting the same error as you

[old bane]

which file do i find the evaluate_poker_hand_ref function or poker_hand_list in balatro?

[weak gate]

can I change a joker's loc_txt.name... Aha, Larswijn said "don't do it lol" so that's a no

[tepid crow]

https://tenor.com/bvz7Z.gif

[tepid crow]

when did I say that? 👀

[tepid crow]

oh I was helping that guy out with his code

[weak gate]

well I want a card to have a dynamic name, depending on how it was spawned

[tepid crow]

I asked him to change something in his calculate function, he changed something in his loc_vars function

[weak gate]

very curious

[tepid crow]

How dynamic? Like 1 or 2 options or a lot more?

[weak gate]

a lot more, like "Jimbo's Assistant", "Egg's Assistant", etc

Hmm, what if I put a #1# in the name...

That does work

(if I do feed the correct variable as the first one in loc_vars, that is)

[tepid crow]

oh you can actually do that? was wondering if you could lol

[marble flint]

wait you can do that?? time to go simplify some code, lol

[tepid crow]

oh it works for jokers but not for decks

weird

[weak gate]

Very interesting
Heh, procedurally generated jokers... Well, ones with complex behaviors would be too much work, but making one that gives random amounts of chips, mult, etc...

[tepid crow]

well it's lot harder to have procedurally generated descriptions

(colours are a bit annoying)

[nova finch]

is there an easy way to chck for when a food joker is destroyed?

[smoky talon]

Im trying to fix one of my jokers. It is supposed to spawn 3 negative copies of a specific consumable. I am building off the code of a joker tutorial, and the way it is written is set to spawn a random consumable in the category, which i replaced with drugs (dont ask), and I cant find a way to make it spawn a specific one. Im also trying to adapt perkeo's code to duplicate it twice because spawing it 3 tims makes 2 jokers instead, but i cant figurre out how to make it target a specific consumable to copy

[limber mist]

What's the best practice for destroying a playing card?

[dusk harness]

ok time to work on the mod again,

if i put it inside of

if not G.STATE_COMPLETE then
end

it does nothing,
but if i dont it crashes and says that center is a nil value

i might also not be in the right callback for this

[runic pecan]

Oops, sorry! Remove center. then

[dusk harness]

i get an infinite print loop with no data

[nova finch]

anyone that can help? i wanna make a joker that upgrades whenever a food joker is destroyed

[runic pecan]

How can a for loop be infinite?

[dusk harness]

because the update_shop function keeps on getting called

[runic pecan]

I’d hook with start_dissolve and 1)check if it’s a joker; 2)check if it’s a food joker.

[runic pecan]

And nothing inside G.shop_jokers? Huh.

[dusk harness]

gime a sec

gonna check the contents of G.shop_joker.cards

yeah there is

but like im saying because the update_shop function is getting called as long as your in the shop i get infinite loop

[runic pecan]

So I guess .key is also nil.
Let me think…

[dusk harness]

but i dont need the key if i can get the content from cards

the proble, is the infinite loop

i only want to update what my program knows once a pack is opened or when a reroll happens

i can probably hook on the reroll/pack open events for those, but the problem stays when i come back in the shop from a boss or a pack

[runic pecan]

Maybe don’t use update_shop?
I’m sure there’s something like generate_shop (not sure if that’s its name)

[dusk harness]

theres a variable called load_shop_joker

in Game

[tepid crow]

what are you trying to do?

access shop jokers on shop load/reroll?

[dusk harness]

right now yeah

trying to understand all of that so that when i get to actually writing the logic for what i wanna do i dont need to figure out that plus how to do the rest

[tepid crow]

my plasma sleeve also needs to do that for the shop prices

I use this patch https://github.com/larswijn/CardSleeves/blob/main/lovely.toml#L87 & context.reroll_shop* context

instead of the whole

if CardSleeves then
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event{
        ...
    })
end

you can just call your own function (the event is important if you care about the price as I've found out lol)

[weak gate]

What's the simplest way to change the joker limit for my whole mod?

[tepid crow]

for context.reroll_shop you should be able to hook SMODS.calculate_context and check the arguments, then call that same function

[dusk harness]

im intereted n how you do that but ill want more explanation, kinda annoying there aint not vc in here

[tepid crow]

we can join one of the cryptid vcs if you want

[dusk harness]

perfect meet you there

[tepid crow]

like for every deck?

[weak gate]

Yep! Multiply them all by a value, maybe, if that is set in each deck. I suppose modifying all decks is possible

[tepid crow]

you should be able to hook the starting values function, can't remember what it's called right now

[verbal surge]

how would one add custom modifiers into a challenge deck? I assume it's by modifying the G.GAME.modifiers[id] and adding custom function to that but there's nothing in the game files that I know that utilizes this exact thing, would love to have an idea on what the .modifers[id] expect in this context

[tepid crow]

seems like Game.lua:2227 is actually the part that's interesting

[old bane]

how can i get the base mult for a particular hand? like for example, say i want a joker to give chips equal to the current hand's mult, and vice versa. I want it to be able to scale with the levels of hands, and not just be the level 1 value

EDIT: I figured it out but i'm getting an error that says "attempting to compare number to table" when doing G.GAME.hand[NAME].mult

[weak gate]

so, a lovely patch around that line?

[tepid crow]

or see if you can modify some of the variables from outside the function 🙃

[weak gate]

game was angry about me writing
G.jokers.config.card_limit = 10
directly at the top of my main.lua heh

[tepid crow]

yeah cuz G.jokers wouldn't exist yet (since you're not in a run)

you could also hook the "start a run" function and set that card_limit afterwards

[weak gate]

aha

[crisp coral]

talisman moment

[weak gate]

aha, get_starting_params() function in misc_functions.lua seems like the best place

thank you kindly

er, ignore the comment

[runic pecan]

Would this work?
Or should I drag get_odds definition to the center?

[old bane]

so for some reason, any cards to the left of cards being scored will be ignored when using this code, any one know why?

if context.cardarea == G.play and not context.end_of_round and not context.before and not context.after and not card.ability.extra.active then
            
            local poker_hands = evaluate_poker_hand(context.full_hand)

            for i=0, #G.play.cards do
                context.scoring_hand[i] = G.play.cards[i]
            end
...

[marble flint]

that won't save and load correctly

so yes, you should pull it up

[marble flint]

Cards are scored in order, and cards not initially part of the scoring hand don't get scored

[marble flint]

don't even put the function in extra, just reference it sirectly on the center definition

functions in config will not get saved and loaded (nor will metatables)

[marble flint]

in other words, this is only happening when the first already scoring card gets scored, and so needs to be done slightly earlier

[old bane]

ah okay

[grand sage]

Hello I was wondering if my code is right as i am trying to make a card that has a similar effect to cavendish while following the guide for example mods yet every time my mod fails to collect data for atlas I was wondering if there was anything glaringly wrong my code I need to fix.

[marble flint]

do you have 1x and 2x scale versions of your textures?

[grand sage]

yes i have them in folders labelled 1x and 2x in my assets folder

[old bane]

So I'm able to visually change the base chips and mult, but when the cards start scoring, the chips and mult revert back to the hand played previously (so if I originally played a high card before my Joker's effect makes it a Flush, the chips and mult will equal that of the base chips and mult for a high card). Why does this happen >_<

[marble flint]

big mood

[old bane]

is there a context that'll allow me to set a mult_mod/chip_mod before cards start scoring so I can at least sneakily change the value to the base mult and chip value

[marble flint]

you probably want to update scoring_hand instead of chips and mult

[old bane]

so like

scoring_hand = "Flush"

or no

or like context.scoring_hand.mult = x and context.scoring_hand.chips = y

[marble flint]

we're not super familiar with that part of the scoring process unfortunately

[lucid owl]

what context could be used to upgrade a card if a played hand is more than 35% of the blind requirement? i think my code is correct but the context isn't, and that's why it's not triggering

[old bane]

alr time to be a pioneer

[lucid owl]

ignore this, it works and i just messed up the values lol

[old bane]

okay, so i found some stuff. I won't report too much on my findings, as I don't actually wanna put the source code here (rules, duh), but basically I might just have to use a lovely injection to get this thing working and inject into the code that finds flushes :D

so fun 😄👍

[grand sage]

whelp I'm stumped I've tried following the example mods on smodded and anything I try just gets me the failed to collect atlas data error 😛

[fringe ember]

^ same here

[grand sage]

mine keeps saying the problem is at line 363 is it the same for you?

local file_data = assert(NFS.newFileData(self.full_path), here is the line it keeps referencing

[normal crest]

Does anyone know what the purpose of primary_colour is in ConsumableType

And if it's possible to change the color of the text in the badge for ConsumableType

[lucid owl]

how would one check if a card has no enhancement? would it be with SMODS.has_enhancement? it seems to search for a specific enhancement instead of simply checking if it has any

[normal crest]

card.ability.set ~= "Enhanced"

[grand sage]

ok it starts now becuase i changed my lua file from (mod_name).lua to main.lua but whats the difference?

[marble flint]

it's whatever you specify for main_file in your .json manifest

[grand sage]

i have my main file saet as "main_file": "ModernFoods.lua", yet it keeps wanting main.lua did i input it wrong infact if i change the file from main.lua to modernfoods.lua it crashes again

[marble flint]

make sure the capitalization is correct

or if you can't get it working, just use main.lua because that's fine

[grand sage]

ok then

I just tried to change it to main.lua in my json file and it crashed immediately with the same error failednto collect data for atlas

[runic pecan]

Should I stick with "every 17 scored Gold Cards", or change it to "every 17 triggered Gold Cards held in hand"?

[old bane]

does it trigger every time you play a Gold card or when the Gold card gives you money?

how would I get a lovely patch to replace multiple lines?

[runic pecan]

First and current case: every time a Gold card scores (includes retriggers like Sock'n'Buskin, Hanging Chad, or red seal);
Second case: every time a Gold card held in hand gives you money (also includes retrigers like Mime or red seal).

[grand sage]

this is what my error looks like in the logs

[marble flint]

no idea lol

[grand sage]

And here is my folder

[old bane]

i think it makes more sense that it triggers whenever the gold card gives you money, since 1. it's easier to get a lot of those and 2. it goes with the theming

[wintry swallow]

why does lua need to have js ahh function definitions smh

[grand sage]

who knows

[maiden phoenix]

Neat ty 👍

[glass scaffold]

Lua: "Here's some confusing syntax on how to do this."

Java: A child could learn this language.

C#: "Fuck you, here's e99e9999 errors for trying to change 1 thing in your code".

[random sleet]

lua is the child could learn this one

if roblox and this game are any clue

[glass scaffold]

If Lua and Java combined into one, you would have THE programming language.

[wintry solar]

The only weird thing I’ve found about lua is tables are 1-indexed

[sturdy compass]

That and the lack of semicolons irk me

Otherwise it’s pretty fine

[edgy reef]

I mean Lua isn’t a compiled language, why would it need semicolons?

Unless you mean something other than indicating the end of the line.

[rough furnace]

you can put semicolons

you can also put spaces

[edgy reef]

Oh wait yea

[random sleet]

yeah also semicolons are also valid lmao

[edgy reef]

I forgor

[rough furnace]

print("hi") print("mom") - valid lua code

[random sleet]

ok thats cursed tho

[marble flint]

all linebreaks are optional in lua

even without semicolons

which is Neat

[edgy reef]

I kinda thought that was cursed until I read the LuaJIT2 source code and found for (;;) do

[gaunt thistle]

rust

sucks

(it's great)

[rough furnace]

this works in most languigaes witgh for loops

[gaunt thistle]

lua

is great

(sucks)

[cerulean rose]

except python

[rough furnace]

idk I don't use pythin

[wintry solar]

How would variable = 2 print(“bla”) work?
