[cerulean rose]

also most languages don't use “do” in their for loop syntax

[rough furnace]

like lua variable = 2 print("bla")

[random sleet]

mandatory do and then is lua weird

[marble flint]

exactly the same as

variable = 2
print("bla")

[rough furnace]

also the same as

variable
=
2
print(
"bla"
)

[fallen pelican]

is this allowed in lua??

[cerulean rose]

real chads write machine code in a hex editor

[rough furnace]

yes

[fallen pelican]

maybe I was harsh on myself by starting with C# for how strict it is in comparison...

[rough furnace]

most languages let you mess with newlines real hard

[woeful tundra]

for card descriptions what do we put to make the text grey? ive tried grey and gray neither seem to work

[mystic river]

inactive

[rough furnace]

iirc it's {C:inactive}

[woeful tundra]

ill give that a shot, thanks!

[random sleet]

(this is helpful for lovely tbh)

[gaunt thistle]

it's ironic that we provide ways to make injected code "look" nicer since it really doesn't change anything

[crisp coral]

adding a random amount of zwsps into my nice looking lovely patch so nobody can actually patch it

[rough furnace]

regex \s

[random sleet]

me, who just copies the target line from the source:

[runic pecan]

Situation: I have two of this tag, and I just entered a boss blind.
Expectation: One of them goes off, the other one stays, and the boss blind is disabled.
Problem in reality: Both of them went off. (But the boss blind is properly disabled)

[marble flint]

two things

first, card eval status text is probably not necessary, and you can let yep handle that

second, yep adds the function as an event to be called (at least one frame later)

we'd try disabling the blind outside of yep and seeing if it causes problems

[runic pecan]

So like this

[marble flint]

mhm

[runic pecan]

Lemme test this rq

[marble flint]

neat tag btw

[runic pecan]

Aaand it worked! Thanks!

[icy cobalt]

How can I stop an enhancement showing up on random cards from packs?

[wintry solar]

You can set it’s in_pool return to false

[plush cove]

heya! i'm new to the modding community so this may come off as a stupid question, but what would be the best way I can structure my folders and files so that I can load in jokers from lua files like this rather than having to put it all in my main file?

this is what uncommon_jokers.lua currently looks like btw

[wintry solar]

You can just use the standard SMODS.Joker definitions in your split out files

[plush cove]

that works. ty!

other people use intellij but I prefer to be rebellious 😎

Rider is basically IntelliJ

[plush cove]

😍

i feel so organized despite having done nothing

[runic pecan]

Just drew the sprite for this tag. How does it look?

[shell lagoon]

i really love this design

though maybe consider shrinking your butterfly icon a bit so it doesn’t touch the edges

[runic pecan]

How about this?

[shell lagoon]

feels more balanced now

[plush cove]

heya, where can I find some documentation for how G.GAME works? i'm trying to figure things out but I'm making no progress

[shell lagoon]

you reminded me, i finished the art for this joker i coded yesterday

[icy cobalt]

My enhancements don't seem to be using the atlas properly

[faint yacht]

Made sure that the 2x folder actually has the higher resolution atlas image?

[icy cobalt]

omggg

whoopsie

TY

[runic pecan]

How do I add this tag into info_queue?

[tall wharf]

i think you do it in loc vars

[faint yacht]

❗

[runic pecan]

I know it's in loc_vars.
What I'm asking is what variable name to put after info_queue[#info_queue+1] = ?

[frosty dock]

ty mods

[tall wharf]

center thing i think

the thing in G.P_CENTERS

[runic pecan]

Would that still work for modded tag?

[frosty dock]

G.P_TAGS.tag_modprefix_butterfly

[runic pecan]

Worked!

[mortal arrow]

Hi modders !
I have the project to create a balatro mod but i knwo barely nothing about balatro modding
And im bad at design too
So im asking here if there would be people interested in making it together !
(I would do the code if it wasnt clear x))

[quick snow]

Hi yall, may i know what do you use for joker sprites?

[runic pecan]

You mean what’s their usage or…?

[quick snow]

oml, i meant what yall use to make joker sprits

[runic pecan]

I use Libresprite to draw my pixel sprites, some others use aseprite.

[wooden badge]

aseprite is ace

well worth the 15 quid (20 bucks)

think it might be on a sale

[runic pecan]

Libresprite is free open-source but probably with less func than aseprite I guess.

[wooden badge]

libresprite is a fork of aseprite its just not as well maintained, probably worth buying it and supporting the devs

[wintry solar]

You can get aseprite free too if you build it yourself

[quick snow]

ty guys

[cursive glade]

what is the context for when the Shop first loads?

[crisp coral]

none

[prisma loom]

what the difference in the these values?

self ability extra and invis rounds

[violet void]

You might need to create it, this is the lovely patch I used if you want

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "game.lua"
pattern = '''
                end
            }))
          G.STATE_COMPLETE = true
'''
position = "after"
payload = '''
    SMODS.calculate_context({entering_shop = true})
'''
match_indent = true```

[prisma loom]

the latter ig is returning number of rounds required

but what the other one is responsible for?

[wintry solar]

you should use SMODS.calculate_context({entering_shop = true}) btw

[violet void]

does using it prevent accidentally triggering other jokers?

that was my only issue and I added a check for my jokers

[wintry solar]

it calculates it through all the calculation areas

[cursive glade]

so that would be context.entering_shop?

[violet void]

oh I see, so I wouldnt need to loop through the jokers?

[wintry solar]

no

if you're worried about intefering with other mods just prefix your context variables

[long sun]

:D

[prisma loom]

whats self ability extra?

how do I define it via config?

or its some sort of constant?

If I understand it correctly, this part of the code adds +1 to the counter at the end of the round

until it reaches the same value as self.ability.extra

then it starts jiggling

and becomes active

[long sun]

thoughts on this proposed ability for Candle?
(Uncommon): When Blind is selected, if you have any Tarot cards, destroy one and gain X0.2 Mult

unsure on wording but you get the gist

[wintry solar]

you'd need to use card.ability.extra which would refer to the entire extra table, card.ability.extra.coffee_rounds would be how to access that value

[violet void]

When Blind is selected, destroys one random Tarot card and gains X0.2 Mult

The "and" should imply the scaling happens if the destroying happens

[long sun]

hokai ^^

thanks! :D

[dense vector]

Holy shit, Inanimate Insanity Invitational mentioned!!!

[long sun]

:D

i'd love to make a dedicated BFDI joker set :D

oohoohooh i tell ya what

[dense vector]

DO IT

Or have it be based around different Object Shows

[long sun]

so candle, right

[violet void]

Barnham has priority 👀

[long sun]

her ability is tarot cards, because she's spiritual and also purple

sooooo. we have an orbular blue character too.

:>

[long sun]

i'll get to him!! ^^

[violet void]

I was joking but it would be fire if you did 🔥

[prisma loom]

If this is correct, it should give you 50$ after 3 rounds of waiting when you sell this joker

but it crashes the game when I hover over the joker

[wintry solar]

no

not at all

[prisma loom]

not correct you mean?

[violet void]

context.end_of_round is inside context.selling_self

[prisma loom]

I thought Ive separated them

[violet void]

also end_of_round doesnt need individual for that i think

or it will trigger multiple times

[prisma loom]

how to separate them? add new calculate = function?

[wintry solar]

1 - you use self.X... all over the place which is incorrect, needs to be card.X..., and update loc_vars deifiniton to card from center
2 - it also references X.ability.extra which is an entire table and cannot be displayed in a string
3 - you refer to many values in an ability table that don't exist, it will crash everytime you try and compare any of these
4 - your context.end_of_round is nested within the selling self check, and should be tagged with context.end_of_round and context.main_eval
5 - your selling self context uses an event an manual methods for some reason?

is this your first joker?

[violet void]

no you close the first if and open another

[prisma loom]

4th

I just rely on in game card.lua

[wintry solar]

I'd still recommend reading this and taking time to understnad what you're doing, look at other code that is functional and try and understand it

don't rely on vanilla items, they work differently

[runic pecan]

What does this E do?

[wintry solar]

if you need some examples of code that is functional, you can take a look at my work on ortalab and I'm happy to talk you through any of the stuff in there in DMs if you need some more help understanding

[wintry solar]

applies a jiggle effect, can either do 1 or 2

[frosty dock]

😭

people really can't read

[prisma loom]

ohh, Ive heard ortalab added lots of diff stuff

[wintry solar]

it has examples of everything other than seals, and I try to keep the code relatively clean for other people to look at and learn from

[long sun]

*grumbe* the goo

[fickle mango]

How would I make the Jim sound effect play when the message pops up instead of happening immediately as the cards are being scored?

I just realized I didn't include play_sound("bpch_jim") in the code just imagine its there

[broken cliff]

Did anyone ever do a mod where the jokers are like math functions, js asking if anyone did that before

[broken cliff]

Jim

[fickle mango]

yes

[dense vector]

Not even Jimbo

Just Jim

[fickle mango]

Yes

I originally had it be 1 in 25 but that's too low a chance

[broken cliff]

.miJ would decrease ur mult but will try to increase it 1 in 25 chance

Smh

[nocturne garnet]

1 in 100 chance to die when you reach Ante (multiple of 8)

[broken cliff]

1 in 1000 chance to destroy all ur jokers

[fickle mango]

Nevermind, I just had to use the event manager instead of calling it immediately.

[crisp elbow]

https://tenor.com/view/jerma-handsome-men-jerma985-jerma-twitch-gif-14556994246222571381

bro lookin like Jerma..

[fickle mango]

It seems the 0.5x mult effect doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to directly read from and modify the mult value?

[dire palm]

Working on my first ever mod on this game. Now to figure out how to actually make the effect real.

[fickle mango]

Fuck (I tried using hand_mult after seeing it in the game's code)

[crisp coral]

fucked up in the crib playing balala

[karmic arch]

Madnes for destroying card, create Jokers from justice?

[karmic arch]

Also probably better (must have a room), although then it will destroy the cards Even when there is no room

[fickle mango]

The intended result would be for the mult value to be halved, but I played a High Card (1 mult) and nothing seemed to happen. Hm.

[dire palm]

Yeah, I would like the card to be destroyed only if the joker gets created. That's why I formulated the text like that.
Still subject to change, though.

[old bane]

i think you could probably have an if statement before it destroys anything that does something like:

if current joker number < max joker slots then

(this is pseudo code and not actually how lua is coded)

[fickle mango]

Still no luck getting 0.5 Xmult to work

Even using xmult instead of xmult_mod, it doesn't seem to be working and I have no idea why. The mult should be 1 in this case

[wintry solar]

Can you screenshot the code?

[fickle mango]

I just realized I might (emphasis on might) know exactly what's wrong after giving the Steamodded API a cursory skim

[wintry solar]

And what do you want to happen?

[fickle mango]

Multiply the mult value of the played hand by 0.5, halving it

[wintry solar]

With a custom message and sound?

[fickle mango]

Already got the message and sound in, it's just the 0.5x that doesn't work

card.ability.extra.evilmult is 0.5 for reference

[wintry solar]

The only thing that looks wrong is that event in your return

It just needs to be sound = ‘key’

[fickle mango]

that's what's confusing me as well 'cause like, shouldn't it just work?

maybe it's because i'm on an old version of steamodded though

[violet void]

this is in context.joker_main right?

[fickle mango]

Yep

[wintry solar]

You shouldn’t be developing on old versions

[violet void]

you need new-calc

[fickle mango]

update: it WAS because i was using an old version

welp, lesson learned, i guess!

[night pagoda]

I'm modifying G.P_CENTERS.m_glass.config.Xmult to change xmult value of the glass cards, but for some reason, the change only applies visually - scored glass cards still do only 2x mult, any ideas?

[broken cliff]

isnt it supposed to be

xmult

[fickle mango]

i'm using normal mult for when it doesnt hit

[broken cliff]

you should modify the glass edition itself

[broken cliff]

well make 2 cases
if it hit 1 in 25, do xmult
if it didnt do +1

[broken cliff]

afaik it only modifies the gui

[night pagoda]

elaborate? The center is of the glass enhancement

It is where the default xmult value is stored

[broken cliff]

i think centers refers to GUI perhaps

unless im wrong

[frosty dock]

nah you're on the wrong track there

[fickle mango]

thats whats going on

[frosty dock]

sounds more like the center is updated but the card itself isn't? not sure why enhancements would use the center's config though

[night pagoda]

I do also update all cards in the deck

[frosty dock]

🤔

[night pagoda]

(I also modify the chance but it seems to work fine)

[frosty dock]

will have a look later then

[frosty dock]

isn't it ability.x_mult?

there's some weirdness like that iirc

[night pagoda]

I'll try

nope

still x2

and the description xmult doesn't change now

[frosty dock]

maybe it's config.x_mult and ability.Xmult? I'll have a look later

[broken cliff]

might be config

[wind turtle]

how would I check if the current hand is a certain hand?

[broken cliff]

in a joker?

[wind turtle]

yeah

i'm trying to make a card that detects if the current hand is a three of a kind

[broken cliff]

u can do next(context.poker_hands[poker_hand]) where poker hand is ur hand

quote from examples jokers included in smods example mods
"The 'next()' part makes sure it goes over every option in the table, which the table is context.poker_hands."

"context.poker_hands contains every valid hand type in a played hand."

[wind turtle]

so what poker_hand would i put in for three of a kind?

is it just threeofakind?

[broken cliff]

ig u should try "Three of a kind" first

and then Three_of_a_kind

Three of a Kind*

[frosty dock]

"Three of a Kind"

[wind turtle]

so now how would i go about destroying cards used in scoring?

[faint yacht]

return { remove = true } for marking cards for destruction.

[wind turtle]

how would i destroy multiple cards doing that?

i'm trying to make it so if you play a three of a kind it destroys all the cards scored

[faint yacht]

That's automatically done for each card iirc.

[wintry solar]

As long as you use the destroying context it is yeah

[haughty wraith]

hello

[wind turtle]

so it'd be something like
if context.destroying then (for loop for the cards in scored hand) return { remove = true} end end ?

[haughty wraith]

how can i install mods, i dont have nothing and the tutorials dont have the proper links

[broken cliff]

step 1: get balatro base game
step 2: install lovely
step 3: get steammodded-main(not to be confused with steammodded-old-calc)
step 4: drop off the neato jokers folder into the mods folder

[wind turtle]

you dowhttps://hub.tcno.co/games/balatro/modding/

what

https://hub.tcno.co/games/balatro/modding/

there

[haughty wraith]

tyyyy!!

[broken cliff]

do u destroy them when played

[wind turtle]

after scoring

[sonic cedar]

how would i give a joker its own ability?
trying to have it gain chips whenever you lose mult

[broken cliff]

when u lose mult?

[sonic cedar]

yeah

[broken cliff]

u will have to modify the calculate function and check for current contexts

im not sure how to check if u lose mult

[sonic cedar]

i see thanks

[broken cliff]

i think u need to do if context.final_scoring_step then

it happens when all cards are scored

[smoky talon]

I'm trying to make a joker that gives 3 of a specific consumable but am having trouble due to the pool limit, which i havent figured out how to bypass. I tried adapting perkeo's code instead, but i cant find a way to have it target a specific card to copy instead of a random one. If anyone has advice on either way of doing it, i would really appreciate it

i replaced the perkeo code with what i had originally, but i can bring it back if you need to see it

[broken cliff]

its e_negative

from perkeo 2(example jokers) code

[wintry solar]

Not quite, check the wiki for the actual context

[smoky talon]

the negative part works fine

[wind turtle]

this is what i'm trying to make

[wintry solar]

Check context.scoring_name

[faint yacht]

local newcard needs to be done once... then you can redefine it without local. Alternatively, put just one "instance" of the create-set-add into a for loop.

[broken cliff]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions this might be helpful, although i am not sure on destroying cards part

[wintry solar]

In the destruction context ofc

[junior pine]

is there anyway to run code every frame with steammodded, or do I have to use Lovely for that? I have tried using an always false G.E_MANAGER but it stops running after I click in game

[wintry solar]

What do you need to run every frame?

[smoky talon]

it crashes when i change it to e negative

[broken cliff]

could u send the error message

[junior pine]

TCP socket

[broken cliff]

oh wtf u doing a networking mod?

[broken cliff]

and what is at line 101

[wintry solar]

Can probably hook Game:update()

[smoky talon]

i tried just replacing the negative with 'e_negative' and i also tried using exactly what perkeo had

[wintry solar]

Don’t use the weird table part, just a string as the first argument

[foggy carbon]

what do I do when the game crashes on startup from memory issues again? I downloaded fresh Smods, cleared the Lovely crash log, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and it's still crashing

[broken cliff]

yh what he said
like this
newcard:set_edition('e_negative', true)

[broken cliff]

does it error screen

[wintry solar]

But the other way you had is okay, it’s just ugly

[wind turtle]

so how do I mark a card for destruction?

[broken cliff]

did u create ur mods or smth

[smoky talon]

it works now but it still doesnt fix my problem with the pool not allowing more than 1 to be spawned at once

[broken cliff]

so it spawns a negative one and then stops?

[maiden river]

is there a way for my consumable button to be out here with the normal consumables instead of them all being behind this larger button

[broken cliff]

or theres not enough space for them

[wintry solar]

No

[smoky talon]

it spawns 1 negative one, a negative version of the other one in the consumable category, and a negative jimbo

[maiden river]

unfortunate

[broken cliff]

so 2 negatives and then... a negative jimbo?

[smoky talon]

yep

ill ssend a pic

[wintry solar]

You need to send the key in the fixed key argument

It’s like the 7th? in vanilla create card

Or use SMODS.create_card

[foggy carbon]

realized I forgot to reinstall Balamod. Now I get this

[broken cliff]

can u debuff a playing card

[wind turtle]

how do i get the text effect Perkeo has on "Negative"?

[broken cliff]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
-- This is the way to add an info_queue, which is extra information about other cards
-- usually, like Stone Cards on Marble/Stone Jokers, Steel Cards on Steel Joker, and
-- in this case, information about negative editions on Perkeo.
info_queue[#1116390750314307698_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_negative
end,

[broken cliff]

hm

[wind turtle]

i meant this color

[wintry solar]

Balamod and smods aren’t compatible

[wind turtle]

how do i get that color

[wintry solar]

{C:dark_edition}

[wind turtle]

thanks

[broken cliff]

is it possible to debuff ALL playing hands, if so how

[wind turtle]

this gonna go hard asf 🔥

[broken cliff]

like where playing cards are stored, even

[broken cliff]

free econ

wouldnt it create like exponentiating jokers

[wind turtle]

i could set the sell value to zero right?

[broken cliff]

from 1 to 2 to 4

to 8 to 16

to 32

[wind turtle]

also how can i actually do that

like how do I make a negative joker

[foggy carbon]

okay, fair enough. But what do I do again to undo the "cannot decode PNG image" crash on startup

[analog pilot]

make this uncommon

[hardy viper]

usually because of lack of memory iirc

[wintry solar]

What’s the full crash?

[broken cliff]

local card = copy_card(the card in question idk), nil)
card:set_edition('e_negative', true)
card:add_to_deck()
and then
emplace it to jokers table(idk what is it called)

[haughty wraith]

i installed cryptic mod, talisman mod and handy mod, the cryptic and talisman mod works perfectly, but the handy doesnt do anything, it shows the mod is installed but nothing

[foggy carbon]

Fusion mod's Dementia Joker but weaker.
(+3 mult per Joker, 1 in 3 chance to create negative copy of self, if self not negative, upon finishing blind)

[broken cliff]

whats the error message when u hover over the exclamation icon?

[broken cliff]

stronger considering u can basically scale it

from 1 to 2048

[haughty wraith]

where is the exclamation icon

[broken cliff]

mods

mods tab

[broken cliff]

in basically 11 blinds, btw

so like 3-4 antes and u have 2k mult

4k mult, 8k mult

that is, until ur game crashes

[wind turtle]

anyways how do i create a joker with an edition

[haughty wraith]

doesnt show anything, it seems that it was installed correctly but doesnt do anything

[broken cliff]

check the mod files

they could be missing or smth

or click on the handy mod

[haughty wraith]

ok

[broken cliff]

to see what it even has to offer

[haughty wraith]

it creates shortcuts

but i do a command for a short cut and nothing

https://github.com/SleepyG11/HandyBalatro

[heady summit]

wich is the mod that ramdomize everithing?

[haughty wraith]

this is the mod

[heady summit]

i mean the one that everithing is ramdom

[broken cliff]

local card = smod.create_card(table)
the table is this

This function replaces create_card. It provides a cleaner interface to the same functionality. The argument to this function should always be a table. The following fields are supported:
set - The card type to be generated, e.g. 'Joker', 'Tarot', 'Spectral'
area - The card area this will be emplaced into, e.g. G.jokers, G.consumeables. Default values are determined based on set.
legendary - Set this to true to generate a card of Legendary rarity.
rarity - If this is specified, skip rarity polling and use this instead of a chance roll between 0 and 1.
    Under vanilla conditions, values up to 0.7 indicate Common rarity, values above 0.7 and up to 0.95 indicate Uncommon rarity, and values above 0.95 indicate Rare rarity.
skip_materialize - If this is true, a start_materialize animation will not be shown.
soulable - If this is true, hidden Soul-type cards are allowed to replace the generated card. Usually, this is the case for cards generated for booster packs.
key - If this is specified, generate a card with the given key instead of the random one.
key_append - An additional RNG seeding string. This should be used to put different sources of card generation on different queues.
no_edition - If this is true, the generated card is guaranteed to have no randomly generated edition.
edition, enhancement, seal - Applies the specified modifier to the card.
stickers - This should be an array of sticker keys. Applies all specified stickers to the card.

[analog pilot]

it’s a part of cryptid if we’re talking about the same thing

[broken cliff]

as in cards?

[foggy carbon]

I went to get a screenshot and my entire laptop crashed, now it's working again

[heady summit]

cards jokers etc etc

[broken cliff]

did u check options

[broken cliff]

i think its the cryptid mod

[haughty wraith]

yeah, nothing\

[analog pilot]

^ @heady summit do you mean the deck that randomizes all values on cards and packs

[heady summit]

yes and jokers ....

[broken cliff]

did u follow these steps

Install lovely by following instructions in repository page. Make sure your antivirus is not removing it;
Download latest release of mod by selecting an archive named Handy-[version].zip;
Put HandyBalatro folder from archive into game's Mods folder (can be found in %appdata%/Balatro/Mods);
Start a game. If all done correctly, new button should appear in options menu;

[analog pilot]

jokers are cards

that’s a part of the cryptid mod

[broken cliff]

then its the cryptid mod

[heady summit]

tyall

[analog pilot]

misprint deck

[analog pilot]

yea !

[broken cliff]

whats the code

[wind turtle]

just lua if context.setting_blind then SMODS.create_card({key = "virus", edition = "negative"}) return end

[hardy viper]

you need prefixes in the key

[broken cliff]

e_negative i think

[hardy viper]

edition you don't

[heady summit]

ehhm

[haughty wraith]

have it all. i put lovely in the appdata balatro mod section

[wind turtle]

so j_lbm_virus

[heady summit]

one more thing xd

[hardy viper]

ye

[heady summit]

could any1 send me cryptid

[haughty wraith]

https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Cryptid/releases/tag/v0.5.3c

[hardy viper]

https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Cryptid

[broken cliff]

why do u have both smods old calc and the new one

[wind turtle]

so it's failing set_edition

so i will try e_negative

[hardy viper]

duplicate label continue mentioned

[wind turtle]

hey wait i can just check perkeo

[wintry solar]

Yeah editions need keys

[haughty wraith]

cause if i didnt put that the section mods wouldnt appear i dont know why

[wind turtle]

nevermind

[hardy viper]

set_edition doesn't take a prefix tho

[wintry solar]

Yes it does

[hardy viper]

oh wait

im thinking of the actual card.edition

nvm

[haughty wraith]

should i uninstall new or old

[wind turtle]

uh okay

[broken cliff]

if u want cryptid uninstall new(-main)

[wind turtle]

it spawned it, but it's not constrained to the joker area

[wintry solar]

Uninstall old if you are developing mods

[broken cliff]

u need to emplace it

into the joker space

[wind turtle]

how would i do that

[wintry solar]

You can use add card instead iirc

[broken cliff]

oh right wait

[sonic cedar]

what would i use to pull the number for total mult being scored? the one thats shown in here

[wind turtle]

worked, thanks

[wintry solar]

Just mult

It’s a global value

[haughty wraith]

ok ty

[sonic cedar]

got it thanks

[wind turtle]

and it is Truly working

[broken cliff]

is there a way to get all playing cards

[wintry solar]

G.playing_cards

[broken cliff]

and do i use smods.debuff_card to debuff them?

or does it apply to jokers only?

[haughty wraith]

nothing, i cant solve it

[wintry solar]

What’s debuffing them?

[lucid owl]

this joker retriggers all jokers, how do i avoid things like cavendish's extinct check?

[hardy viper]

i don't believe cavendish extinction gets retriggered?

[broken cliff]

it ignores the extinct check i think

[lucid owl]

also if possible, how could i avoid retriggering jokers that aren't compatible with blueprint?

[broken cliff]

since they have different contexts

[haughty wraith]

solve it !!!!

[lucid owl]

somehow, this joker is making cavendish do that check again

[haughty wraith]

thanks for the quick respond

[wintry solar]

This will retriggers every joker effect

[broken cliff]

the cavendish uses end_of_round check

it does +15 mult in a differnt context

[lucid owl]

how could i make it only trigger the same things blueprint or brainstorm would?

[broken cliff]

i want to create a joker that debuffs all playing cards for a x10 mult

[broken cliff]

check if its blueprint_compat

[wintry solar]

Make it work how blueprint does then instead of using retriggers

[wintry solar]

Debuff card might work then, I’ve not used it a lot

[broken cliff]

ill check later

[heady summit]

i think is cryptid error

but i dnt know why

[broken cliff]

when did it happen

like in the middle of the game?

[heady summit]

when i start a run

its may bcs of smod version?

[broken cliff]

is it old-calc

[wintry solar]

It’s old calc cryptid

[heady summit]

ill try it

same

[broken cliff]

send the mods tab

[broken cliff]

no as in ingame

ALSO

ITS supposed to be Cryptid

not cryptid-main

[heady summit]

ok

wait

im in game

[broken cliff]

it better not be nested

[heady summit]

thanks guys

i think it also was talisman that i had an outdated

[sonic cedar]

if im printchecking a variable, which console is the check being sent to? (for context i am using print())

[lucid owl]

this only copies a single joker, i assume it's a fault of mine but how can i make this copy every joker?

[stiff locust]

how do I make context.end_of_round not trigger like 8 times again

[tepid crow]

I believe print only sends it to the lovely console, not to debugplus' in-game console? though I suggest using sendDebugMessage regardless

[broken cliff]

Huh.

[wintry solar]

Add context.main_eval

[sonic cedar]

ohhh ok

[stiff locust]

is that a bettercalc thing

i'm still on old

[wintry solar]

Print goes to debug plus console too

[wind turtle]

ok back to this issue: how do I destroy all cards used in scoring?

[wintry solar]

Why

[nocturne garnet]

if context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.individual then```

[stiff locust]

oh am I suddenly super outdated now

i've been waiting for cryptid to move to better calc

[wintry solar]

Like over a month

Continuing to develop on old calc makes no sense

[nocturne garnet]

this is the FUTURE

old woman

[wintry solar]

Cryptid should just stop being so slow

[tepid crow]

in that case you might need to set the logging level lower in smods' config

[stiff locust]

well damn

i'm gonna have to update so many mods

[sonic cedar]

i had it set to error

do i leave it there

?

[wintry solar]

No set it to the lowest

[lucid owl]

bump

[sonic cedar]

ok got it

[tepid crow]

I'd say just dev for new-calc anyway, even if cryptid's main branch isn't working for it yet

[wintry solar]

It returns after the first joker

[stiff locust]

really thought the transition would take longer

[junior pine]

is there a reference for G.GAME ?

[lucid owl]

how could i have it copy without returning just the first?

[stiff locust]

like it took a good few months to get everyone from 0.9.8 steamodded to 1.0.0 didnt it

[broken cliff]

is it possible to join 2 strings together

[wind turtle]

Also bump

[broken cliff]

to get smth like X3 mult wow

[stiff locust]

yeah the operator is ..

"text" .. "text2" will make "texttext2"

[wintry solar]

You can use the calculate effects function that smods provides instead of returning the values

[broken cliff]

do i do that after the localize operation

[wind turtle]

god lua just gotta be different for no reason huh

[wintry solar]

Why don’t you just use the Xmult localization

[broken cliff]

Hey its fast and lightweight

Why Complain

[sonic cedar]

ok it doesnt appear to have printed anywhere actually
did i setup something wrong here?

[wind turtle]

its main strength is that it's easy to embed in other programs (see: pico-8, roblox)

[broken cliff]

well yh

[wintry solar]

Is this on a joker?

[tepid crow]

Some mods didn't even need to change anything for new-calc, some mods only a very small amount 🤷‍♂️

[wind turtle]

i have seen the light

[stiff locust]

yeah ig

[broken cliff]

Python... Heh.

[tepid crow]

does final_scoring_step even have the cardarea context?

[stiff locust]

now I get to fix that bug where cryptid's refactor removes all my fusion sprites

[wintry solar]

It does but a joker won’t have the area of g.play

[stiff locust]

god what the fuck is even going on with that

[wintry solar]

Here’s a hint Marie

[wind turtle]

anyways how does one destroy all cards used in scoring

[wintry solar]

Uninstall cryptid

Problem solved

[stiff locust]

https://tenor.com/view/her-gif-26366183

[sonic cedar]

how would i change it for a joker then?

[wintry solar]

Just remove the area check

[stiff locust]

i feel like I should solve the problem considering i have crossmod content with it

[sonic cedar]

wouldnt it be something with context.destroy_card iirc

[wind turtle]

i saw that, but that code looks like it only works for one card

i need to destroy all cards used in scoring

[wintry solar]

It passes every card in turn

[wind turtle]

ah

gotcha, thanks

[sonic cedar]

oh alright then

[wintry solar]

So you can evaluate each card independently

[broken cliff]

full_cards is the played cards I think

[wind turtle]

so do i just destroy_card = card and return { remove = true }?

[wintry solar]

if context.destroying_card then
  return {
    remove = true
  }
end```

[sonic cedar]

oh the game did not like that

[wintry solar]

This might destroy unscored cards I don’t remember

[sonic cedar]

is it just a memory type issue or did the code cause this

[cursive glade]

cant contact a table into a string. need to stringify, or extract the data from the table you want to concat.

[wintry solar]

Oh do you have talisman

[sonic cedar]

i do

[wintry solar]

Then mult will be a table

[sonic cedar]

ohhhh cause the scoring buff

[broken cliff]

mult a table
Wild

i mean OmegaNum prob uses couple numbers

due to limitations

[wintry solar]

Join the anti talisman club!

[broken cliff]

cant express much data with 1 number Tho

[sonic cedar]

but big number,,,

[broken cliff]

Especially With

Arbitrary binary limitations

[wintry solar]

Pffft big numbers who cares

[broken cliff]

saw A guy reach 38th anti

and couldnt beat it with naneinf

[sonic cedar]

game just cheating at that point

[stiff locust]

yeah ante 39 overflows the score which is why talisman exists

[sonic cedar]

how do i set that up by the way

[broken cliff]

prob table.concat

i think taht might be an option

if it even exsits

[stiff locust]

is the latest main branch of smods newcalc

[broken cliff]

Idk im too familiar with

Roblox Studio lua

[wintry solar]

Dunno I don’t use talisman

[stiff locust]

okay well i'm getting a crash on startup already

[wintry solar]

A crash on start up?

[broken cliff]

how do i Rig the game to get my Jokers instantly

[stiff locust]

it was cryptid's fault

[broken cliff]

want to test them

[frosty dock]

[broken cliff]

ty 🙏🏿

[stiff locust]

holy shit you can SWITCH PROFILE

WITHOUT CRASHING NOW

how long has that been a thing

i feel like smods has literally done that for its entire lifespan

[wintry solar]

That has always been a thing?

[wind turtle]

got the green guy card working

[stiff locust]

i always crashed switching profiles

[tepid crow]

Did smods ever make that crash happen? 🤔

[stiff locust]

i've had that issue forever and idk it just stopped happening on new calc

[wintry solar]

You don’t need that joker main step btw, can just do and context.scoring_name == ‘Three of a Kind’ in your if statement

[stiff locust]

i guess i'll test all my jokers while i'm here

make sure everything works on new calc

crashed on loading into a run I know exactly what the crash is don't I

[junior pine]

actually scratch that is there a reference of all the Game.events you can hook?

[stiff locust]

well that's just great

[frosty dock]

that'd be the game's source code for ya

[stiff locust]

i got this crash when.... selling Splash? i didn't even know that was possible

[frosty dock]

start a new one-?

[stiff locust]

debugging 🔥

[stiff locust]

no i did start a new one

[frosty dock]

sounded like you didn't lmao

[stiff locust]

i solved the run startup crash it's a fusionjokers talisman thing

[hardy viper]

average fusion jokers

[stiff locust]

but now i'm crashing when selling jokers

so /shrug

[solar eagle]

how does one set an icon for your mod? like how cryptid does

[stiff locust]

yeah no idea what makes this line crash

[maiden river]

two things:

1. I made a pack, but these green particles are sticking around
2. Using the cards doesn't do anything

[frosty dock]

make an atlas with the key 'modicon'

[solar eagle]

got it ty!

[stiff locust]

anyone got anything for this

i should get the full log

[primal robin]

You put "folder with folder with mod", not "folder with mod"

i.e. goto "Handy-v1.3.0b" folder, you'll find "HandyBalatro" folder inside. This is a mod which you should put in Mods

[daring crag]

I'm trying to mod a joker as an experiment, how would I make a joker that creates a copy of itself when sold or destroyed? (I do once again apologise if this is the wrong channel)

[sonic cedar]

if a joker has some of its effects compatible with blueprint, but not all, would you still mark it as blueprint compatible?

wait im stupid runner exists

[foggy carbon]

you want to mark whatever stuff isn't blueprint compatible - such as self-destruction - within an if not context.blueprint then

[frosty dock]

when my fish contains a strush

[wooden badge]

yeah, I think i'm right in saying that anything in a not context.blueprint if branch will skip on a blueprint/brainstorm copy of the joker

[sonic cedar]

i already had it i was just stupid but thank you both

[lucid owl]

sorry for such a late response, but what syntax would that use? this obviously doesn't work but i'm also obviously using the function incorrectly - there just isn't much documentation on it that i can find

the {effecttable} is from something someone else said about using this but i think i misunderstood a placeholder for an actual usable thing lol

[sonic cedar]

i do want to know if there's a context for checking when the total mult value changes? that way i can assign a value to the postloss variable equal to that current mult (what i have so far)

[ionic verge]

if selectedjoker is a random joker i selected, this would be the way to put that joker's name into my description, right?

[marble flint]

you could perhaps put a hook on mod_mult()

[sonic cedar]

havent actually done hooks before, how do they work?

[marble flint]

something like

local original_function = foo
function foo(...)
  original_function(...)
  do_something_else_when_foo_is_called(...)
end

[ionic verge]

ok nvm seems that isnt my problem

[sonic cedar]

so like

[rugged star]

how do i make the joker being evaluated juice up with the message on the joker instead of on the playing card during context.individual?

[marble flint]

it'll need to looke like this:

local raw_mod_mult = mod_mult
function mod_mult(new_mult)
    local ret = raw_mod_mult(new_mult)
    -- Do stuff with the new mult value here
    return ret
end

[marble flint]

iirc you can specify card = card in your calculate function

[rugged star]

i tried that but the message is still on the playing card

sorry, should've mentioned that i tried that

[marble flint]

all good

[rugged star]

the joker does juice up if i do that, but the message is still on the playing card

[marble flint]

idk then

[lucid owl]

anyone know how i could do this? trying to copy every single joker blueprint-style, but unsure how to use SMODS.calculate_effect() properly - before i had it returning a single joker which definitely wasn't what i wanted

[daring stratus]

Does anyone know if theres a way to make square joker not be square anymore?

[violet void]

Is there a way to get the score of the hand played through context without lovely patching?

[rugged star]

I figured it out, it's focus = card

[timid parrot]

Does that make straights 5 oak cuz if so that’s extremely powerful

[lucid owl]

hand_chips is a global variable for that

then for the entire hand you can do hand_chips * mult

[foggy carbon]

yes it does.

[violet void]

what about the mult for the multiplication?

[timid parrot]

Wow

[lucid owl]

pretty sure mult should function the same way

so if you have it defined, you can remove that definition since mult is always equal to the hand played's mult

[violet void]

It does not appear to be a global variable

[foggy carbon]

I feel it's not that much of a problem? Building for consistent straights is difficult due to it requiring five specific ranks. So mostly, it just expands the possible number of playable hands.

I made it an Uncommon because Four Fingers and Shortcut are both Uncommon, and this feels most similar to those conceptually. Should I make it Rare?

[lucid owl]

strange, supposedly it is

what's the full code?

[sonic cedar]

is something like what you mean? so then (at least rn) the chip value will be equal to the difference? like
-mult is picked up by mult_preloss
-change in mult occurs which is picked up by mult_postloss
-chips gained is equal to the difference between mult_preloss and mult_postloss

[violet void]

Huh it actually is, thanks for the info

[lucid owl]

lol of course

[timid parrot]

Maybe make it rare. Idk, straights require 0 deckfixing to pull off, and even if you don’t get a straight a run of 4 is still a free 4oak which is a powerful hand in its own right

[wind turtle]

i tried that and it was just null

[violet void]

If I want to change hand_chips and mult before it does the multiplication I suppose I need to lovely patch

[wind turtle]

and if it works it works

[lucid owl]

no idea, that's beyond my level of expertise lol

[violet void]

Pretty much

[lucid owl]

nice

who's that on the left lol

[violet void]

right?

if you mean on the right its a new card type I made

[lucid owl]

right* my bad LMAO

[lucid owl]

sick

[daring stratus]

Is there anything stopping me from disabling / removing square joker and then creating a new identical joker that doesnt have the weird sizing so that I can make it look like a regular joker (also the same for photo), this is probably a bad idea but I cant think of another way to do it.

[jagged sun]

is there anything within context.destroying_card that can get me a reference to the triggering joker? i'm trying to get a joker to display a message while destroying cards and a reference to self crashes the game, card just references the destroying card

[frosty dock]

card is the joker

assuming you have a joker destroying a card

if you want something to happen upon a card being destroyed, that's context.remove_playing_cards and has no information on the source of destruction

[jagged sun]

not within context.destroying_card apparently

[jagged sun]

it's specifically when this joker destroys a card

[normal crest]

what's your code

[frosty dock]

yeah card is definitely the joker then

you don't need card = card though afaik

[lucid owl]

bump

[normal crest]

an effect table is what you'd return from a joker

so like { mult = 4 } as an example

[lucid owl]

yeah, but how would i adapt that to what i'm doing? i'm trying to blueprint-style copy every joker

[normal crest]

call calculate_joker on every joker, store the result and pass that result to calculate_effect

also in your code you're not assigning context.blueprint_card which could lead to issues

[violet void]

does this feel more like a rare?

[marble flint]

yeah, it does

especially if "average" mean arithmetic mean

actually, geometric mean might be more appropriate for how balatro scales?

[violet void]

the score couldnt possibly be negative

this is the calculation

[dreamy thunder]

how to check how many times a specific consumable was used that run?

[valid ice]

Question, I downloaded this mod that replaces the amongus deck skin with a custom one. I'm trying to make it standalone, but while it's showing up in the list, the cards appear blank. I created a lua file, based on the lua files for existing deck skin mods. https://pastebin.com/X791YAZe

[violet void]

is the consumable custom?

[dreamy thunder]

yeah

[violet void]

You can probably create a variable for it

local igo = Game.init_game_object
Game.init_game_object = function(self)
    local ret = igo(self)

    ret.consumable_uses = 0
    return ret
end```

then you call it using `G.GAME.consumable_uses`

[dreamy thunder]

aight thanks

[violet void]

thats a hook btw

[dreamy thunder]

got it working, thanks again

[stiff locust]

how do I grab the position of a joker

like which spot it's in on the joker slots

[normal crest]

Loop through G.jokers.cards and find the index of your joker

[nocturne ravine]

Hi, brand new to this, having a lot of trouble finding info online
Attempting to add a new joker to the game, how would I go about reading the current hand type being played?

Like, if I wanted to check if the current played hand is a flush, for example?

[random sleet]

context.scoring_name i think is the name of the hand

[wintry solar]

Don’t know if you got this solved, phone died in hospital waiting room. Are you hooking eval_card?

[wintry solar]

You’d still need to call calculate joker, but then put the result of that into calc effect

[royal carbon]

How do I go about preserving a variable from one context to another? I'm trying to check if a hand contains a straight and do some stuff if it does, but the variable is getting set to false again. Here's my current code

  local straightcheck = false
  if context.before and not context.blueprint then
    if next(context.poker_hands['Straight']) then
    straightcheck = true
    end
end
if straightcheck```

[rough furnace]

the vairable is local to that call

you propbably want to store it in your card.ability somewhere

or on G.GAME if all instances of your joker share it

[royal carbon]

I thought about doing this but not enough evidently, thanks

[orchid thunder]

What part of balatros code makes it apply the sprite for seals

[frosty dock]

Card:draw

[lucid owl]

what could be causing this to crash when a hand is played, with the error attempt to index local 'effect' (a nil value) ? seemingly calculate_effect is the problem but i'm unsure

[stiff locust]

no

did not get it fixed and no i'm not hooking that

one of my mods might be? idk

[spark remnant]

silly question, how can I get how many time tarot cards have been used?

[wintry solar]

Yeah probably, there’s no reason that line would crash otherwise

[normal crest]

Check that 'copy' isn't nil before calling calculate_effect

Also you're looping twice unnecessarily

Also you should set blueprint_card

Also you should do the blueprint check balatro does to prevent infinite copying

[stray warren]

Looks like fortune teller checks G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.tarot

[main mica]

in what order are smods mods loaded?

[random sleet]

"yeet"

[main mica]

hm?

[random sleet]

more seriously there's a priority system

and then mods at the same priority are loaded alphabetically (?)

[main mica]

awesome, thanksies ^^

[frosty dock]

in whatever order the filesystem finds them*

[hardy viper]

nfs is undefined there isn't it

i guess it's just love2d

[high stag]

is there a way to check to see if the current hand's score is the highest score of the current run?

[frosty dock]

yeah that's just love, which is what NFS mimics so I'd suppose the same is true

[random sleet]

big oof (but fair)

[rough furnace]

its possible platform depenedant

[random sleet]

omw to rename thac again explicitly so it loads wrong on linux

[rough furnace]

just use priorities

[random sleet]

im going to cause problems

on purpose

(i also have no idea how that'd even be done so)

[smoky talon]

how do i make the consumable spawning ignore the pool limit so that it spawns all 3 instead of just 1 and 2 jimbos?

[primal robin]

That's definitely a progress

[spark remnant]

follow up, how do I set a loc_var with a default value?

[marble flint]

you don't

if you need a loc_var, the function must return it

[spark remnant]

how do I get the text var to not say "+nil"

[marble flint]

well, you could do ... or 0 when generating it

[spark remnant]

sorry, not too sure what you mean

[main mica]

well clearly something's gone wrong, could you show code?

[spark remnant]

here, when no tarot has been used it says +nil chips

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'joker',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'parking',
        text = {
            '+10 chips per tarot card used this run',
            '{C:inactive}(Currently {C:chips}+#1#{C:inactive} Chips)',
        }
    },

    atlas = 'Jokers',
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 7,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = true ,
    eternal_compat = true ,
    perishable_compat = true ,
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0 } , 
    config = {
        extra = {}
    },

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

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.using_consumeable then
            if (context.consumeable.ability.set == "Tarot") then
                card.ability.extra.chips = G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.tarot * 10
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main and G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total and G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.tarot > 0 then
            card.ability.extra.chips = G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.tarot * 10
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips
            }
        end
    end
}

[stray warren]

You need to do 'or 0'

So that if it is nil, it defaults to 0

[marble flint]

that or add chips = 0 in config.extra

[main mica]

yup, you didn't set card.ability.extra.chips

[high stag]

So I'm trying to make a Joker that adds x0.25 mult whenever you play the highest hand of the run, and removes x0.25 mult when you dont.

I'm pretty sure I found the code to gather the highest score of the run (G.GAME.current_round.high_scores.hand)Y

and based on the example Runner in the steamModded wiki section, the next( ) is used to gather the current values of hands (such as the playd hand being a Straight), I just need to know what value is the current hand's score

wait no, the next() is for searching through a table to ensure that the Runner can also grab straight flushes, I just need to use the context. section there

[spark remnant]

ty

[hallow slate]

How do I get the rank of a card and get the next rank (as if I was doing the strength card)?

[normal crest]

card.base.value to get the rank of the card as text, like "Ace" or "King", card:get_id() to get the ID of it

to get the next one you can do SMODS.Ranks["Ace"].next[1]

[wooden nexus]

WIP for mod

[crisp coral]

instead of studying i brought my shitty laptop to work on my mod

[hardy viper]

fore

[high stag]

Hey what's the Context for like, when the score has been finalized on a round?

[nova finch]

if a variable is a list of values, how would i make a if statement that checks if a different variable is set to any one value in the list?

[nova finch]

you're probably looking for context.end_of_round, no?

[high stag]

not exactly, I'm trying to get the score of each hand, not the full round, I mispoke

so like, if I play a High Card, after it applies the jokers, the card values, multiplies the chips and the mult, the number that is calced then is what I'm looking to find

[smoky talon]

how do i place a specific consumable in the consumables slot? based on everything i know this should work, but it just picks a random one from the category instead

[high stag]

there, the 5,776, that is the number I wanna check

[fringe ember]

Did we ever figure out the solution to this error?

...or not

i think the error was popping because i had a github repo in the same folder

for some reason

[smoky talon]

nobody who can help any of us is online lol

[fringe ember]

lol

yeah removing the repo folder worked

[smoky talon]

ive been trying to figure out this dang consumable thing all day but nobody has been on here to help, and im starting to go insane

idk why it isnt working, the odeshould beright but im probably missing onesmall line somewhere

[runic pecan]

Replace those four lines with SMODS.add_card({ key = 'c_gcbm_est', area = G.consumeables, edition = 'e_negative' })

[fringe ember]

We can hotload mods right? Just by reloading the game through the console?

[fringe ember]

answer is yes, but answer is also i don't know why it's tripping like this

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.is_suit("Hearts") and context.is_face() then

            return {
            mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,

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

relevant part of code

python brain is really not liking lua rn

[smoky talon]

rip

[runic pecan]

Not context.is_suit,
it's context.other_card:is_suit

[fringe ember]

no parenthesis?

[runic pecan]

context.other_card:is_suit('Heart')

[high stag]

okay then that's not the issue, thank you. I must be grabbing the wrong value instead then.

[smoky talon]

the code if you need it

maybe the consumable tag is wrong?

its supposed to be c for consumable at the start right?

[fringe ember]

giving the attempt to index field 'other_card' [a nil value] error now

[nova finch]

how do I make a joker that retriggers only a certain set of jokers?

I've been trying a couple things with self.ability.name but that crashes

[versed swan]

Does anyone know the eval code for discovering everything? (debug)

[runic pecan]

Aware if it's colon or period.

[lucid owl]

use card instead of self

scratch that, misspoke

[fringe ember]

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card.is_suit('Heart') and context.other_card.is_face() then

            return {
            mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,

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

[lucid owl]

if i were to iterate through every joker, i could do something like this

for i,v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
    if v.ability.name == 'Blueprint' or v.ability.name == 'Joker' then
        (do something)
    end
end

[runic pecan]

The colon.

[lucid owl]

@nova finch

[fringe ember]

yes

it didn't work then

wait a sec

[runic pecan]

✅:context.other_card:is_suit('Heart')
❌:context.other_card.is_suit('Heart')

[versed swan]

Somewhat figured out; eval G.FUNCS.unlock_all() but only works on the profile menu

[runic pecan]

✅:context.other_card:is_face()
❌:context.other_card.is_face()

[fringe ember]

the colon isn't the issue here

[lucid owl]

context.other_card:is_face(true)

[fringe ember]

mmm, it's still giving me the error

with

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts") and context.other_card:is_face(true) then```

[smoky talon]

@runic pecan the code you gave me crashes my game when choosing the bling and triggering it. Maybe the tag that calls the specific consumable is wrong?

[runic pecan]

Might wanna add context.individual and (not context.repetition) and before the G.play check

[runic pecan]

By the way, is "gcbm" your mod prefix?

[smoky talon]

yep

[runic pecan]

and "est" is the consumeable's key?

[fringe ember]

the one time i needed a heart face and i draw none

[smoky talon]

yes

[nova finch]

does context.other_joker check when a different joker triggers or just when the joker itself isn't doing anything

[smoky talon]

just sending these to make sure i dont miss anything

[fringe ember]

that was it

that was what it was missing

thanks

[runic pecan]

May I see its whole code?

[smoky talon]

what part? the entire mod code?

[fringe ember]

ok one more thing from me before i slip away.

would i change card.ability.extra.mult to card.ability.x_mult in the code if i want it to be x2 mult instead of +2 mult?

[runic pecan]

Yeah, the entire SMODS.Consumable braket.

[smoky talon]

here

im sure its messy and there's stuff that doesnt need to be in there, im just trying to make it work first

[runic pecan]

Try SMODS.add_card({ set = "Drugs", key = 'c_gcbm_est', area = G.consumeables, edition = 'e_negative' }) ?

[smoky talon]

alright (dont question why i added drugs to balatro)

no dice

[fringe ember]

-# i hope you added weed

[smoky talon]

im gonna add crack, ill add weed if i think of a good effect for it

[runic pecan]

Then I have no idea where the issue truly is. Sorry.

[smoky talon]

dang

[normal crest]

use SMODS.change_base(card, suit, rank), where suit is, for example 'Hearts' and rank 'Ace' instead

you can get the rank as a string from card.base.value

[smoky talon]

my current method works fine, im not looking to change it and risk breaking it just like the spawning

the spawning the card with the joker is what im worried about right now

if i can figure that out ill come back and clean up the rank conversions

[normal crest]

so what's your spawning card code

[smoky talon]

Riv helped me change it to this a few minutes ago, crashes my game when i try to choose a blind though

[normal crest]

what's your consumabletype look like

[normal crest]

what happens if you just pass the key to add_card

and nothing else

[runic pecan]

That would put the consumeable onto the joker slot, since G.jokers is the default area. /iirc

[normal crest]

that's just not true

[weak gate]

How do I make a custom sticker? (the code parts)

[smoky talon]

so waht am i supposed to do then?

[normal crest]

did you try this

[smoky talon]

i dont understand what you mean by taht, sorry

[normal crest]

SMODS.add_card { key = 'c_gcbm_est' }

[smoky talon]

replace it all with just that?

[normal crest]

yes

[runic pecan]

To see if this would work

[smoky talon]

no

[normal crest]

can you send the entire crash log

[normal crest]

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

[runic pecan]

I think I found what was trying to index your "center"

[smoky talon]

so what do we do about t

[normal crest]

since you have debugplus, try opening the console with / ingame and type eval G.P_CENTERS.c_gcbm_est

[weak gate]

Right, that doesn't quite tell me how to apply it

[runic pecan]

So for some reason, G.P_CENTERS['c_gcbm_est'] is nil.

[smoky talon]

riv called it

its nil

[normal crest]

So your consumable code is not being executed, or your prefix is not gcbm

[runic pecan]

I suspect it's something other than c before _gcbm_est?

[smoky talon]

it should be gcbm

i would be inclined to believe that, i just dont know what it would be

[normal crest]

are you defining your consumable type before making your consumable

[smoky talon]

i sent you all the consumable type code

[marble flint]

the case should match

[normal crest]

yes, but is it before or after your consumable is defined

[marble flint]

gcbm != GCBM

[smoky talon]

its before any info on specific consumables

[runic pecan]

But is SMODS.ConsumeableType loaded before SMODS.Consumeable ?

[smoky talon]

so mod id and prefix need to be the same?

yes

[normal crest]

ingame do eval SMODS.ConsumableTypes.Drugs

[runic pecan]

Post a pic of your mod json file, also.

[normal crest]

they're using a header, which is old but should still work

[normal crest]

so presumably they do not have a json file

[smoky talon]

correct

i just downloaded a joker mod example and have been building off of it, so thats why some of it may be out of date

[normal crest]

and just to clarify, you see your consumable ingame

and you've tested it

[smoky talon]

yep

it works fine

and i can spawn the category, just not the specific omne

\i can spawn one of the two i currently have, jusrt cant choose

[runic pecan]

So it's just that spawning it causes issue

[smoky talon]

yep

everything else works fine

[normal crest]

Do you see the 'est' card in the collection

[smoky talon]

except the animation but im less worried about that now

yep

dont ask lol, its a collab mod and my friend came up with it

[runic pecan]

But is your SMODS.ConsumeableType loaded before SMODS.Consumeable is though?

[smoky talon]

yes

[runic pecan]

Sorry, didn't see your yes earlier. Just saw it.

[lucid owl]

i've been plaigarized 💔 /s

[smoky talon]

dang mine is better though bc its a consumable

[marble flint]

love that art

[smoky talon]

yeah its peak

[lucid owl]

it's so good lol

[smoky talon]

i havent done the art yet, just placeholders for now

[lucid owl]

fair

[smoky talon]

but do you have...

[normal crest]

Okay open your collection and type eval G.your_collection[1].cards[3].config.center.key replace the 3 with whatever index your estrogen card is

[lucid owl]

this is supposed to copy the ability of all jokers - and it works, except for cards involving repetitions (see video) - how could i fix this? blueprint works basically the exact same way as my code, but copies cards entirely correctly

[smoky talon]

how do i find what inded it is

[normal crest]

from left to right, starting at 1

[smoky talon]

aight

thats what i assumed

WAIT

are there just extra spaces

no way

if thats it imma crash out

[normal crest]

I see, so in your header you have spaces after 'gcbm'

[marble flint]

dunno, but please use a numeric for loop instead of ipairs to guarantee the order of operations

[lucid owl]

will do

[normal crest]

now time to swap to json metadata

[rough furnace]

ipairs should guarntee order

just pairs doesn't

[smoky talon]

howwdo i do that

[normal crest]

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

[normal crest]

i don't know what could cause this

oh I know

[smoky talon]

ill makke the json and see if that fixes irt

[normal crest]

if you're using debug plus and loaded a save file

[smoky talon]

after i make the json do i delete the header

[normal crest]

then the previous cards will have the prefix with spaces

[smoky talon]

ahhh

[normal crest]

yes

[smoky talon]

IT WORKS

FINALLY

THANMK YOU SO MUYCH

[lucid owl]

the only reason i can think of that this might not work is because the base blueprint only copies one? and uses a return value instead of the SMODS.calculate_effect()? but honestly not sure 💔

[marble flint]

oh heck you're right

[weak gate]

Is there a mod that adds a simple sticker out there? The wiki is not clear enough imo

[normal crest]

try putting your calculate_effect in an event

[smoky talon]

im gonna make the json now

what do i call the json file btw?

[normal crest]

anything

[smoky talon]

alright

[marble flint]

why would that do anything?

[normal crest]

yeah I just realized, that'd only fix the message appearing during calculation time

but for repetitions it uses the return value

[runic pecan]

Ngl, this revelation is kinda hilarious.

[lucid owl]

still worth fixing

[lucid owl]

hmm

[normal crest]

try your joker with a card that gives chips or mult

[smoky talon]

it is lol but i cant belive it sti;;

[lucid owl]

it works just fine for those

the only problem is seemingly ones with repetitions? though i can't be 100% sure

[normal crest]

what you can do is take into account if the return table of the other joker has the repetition key

then add it to your own table and sum up the repetitions of all of them

and then return that

but that only really accounts for repetitions

[lucid owl]

oh, so save repetitions for the final values?

[normal crest]

yeah i think that'll work

you could also make it show all the messages consecutively which would be very funny

but yeah you can only return one message

[marble flint]

doesn't SMODS.calculate_effect already put it in an event?

[lucid owl]

putting it in an event makes it score the mult/chips after the hand was already scored, effectively making the card useless lol

[marble flint]

yeah cus it's now two events deep

[lucid owl]

i think the problem with the text is that it's getting the return text, but not the repetitions and all that

[smoky talon]

it didnt like the json

im gonna stick to the header for now bc it works and theres no need to change it

[fringe ember]

oh my god this is perfect

[lucid owl]

so that's why when it copied hanging chad, it put the buggy text but obviously never bothered with any repetitions

man this is annoying

[smoky talon]

now that i can spawn cards properly i can make my costco joker that makes 5 big booms

[lucid owl]

cause if i put all the return values in a table, if they happen after the rest of the flow they can be kinda useless

[fringe ember]

bringing back this question tho

[fringe ember]

costco joker?

[lucid owl]

for example saving a hanging chad repetition would do nothing since it doesn't have the first card to score, or at the least could add a very diminishing amount to setups wioth the first card

[smoky talon]

BOOM! BNOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

[runic pecan]

How do I apply a new sprite to a vanilla enhancement like stone cards?

[lucid owl]

maybe i'll just make it easy and ignore jokers that do repetitions lmao

[normal crest]

you're not really returning anything tho

i did notice you're missing a check for 'context.no_blueprint' tho, dunno how relevant that is to your current issue

[lucid owl]

i'll add it but unfortunately idk if that will fix this, but for sure better to have than not

[normal crest]

You could also use retriggering jokers instead of copying them

smods has that

[lucid owl]

as in, just make the jokers themselves activate again if they're retrigger jokers?

[normal crest]

yeah it'd kinda look like this, you need the optional thing at the top somewhere

[lucid owl]

isretrigger_joker_check specifically for jokers with retriggers or would i need to check by name?

[normal crest]

no no, retrigger_joker_check is what smods uses to collect repetitions for jokers
