[dapper sun]

why isn't my message appearing under the joker?

[wintry solar]

I found it

[scarlet spire]

oh?

OH its in buy and use, specifically...

love it

[wintry solar]

I'll fix this on the smods end I think

[scarlet spire]

thank you

until then, how would I patch this?

[random sleet]

eremel probably already fixed it four seconds ago

[wintry solar]

literally wait a couple of minutes for me to test it works properly and merge it

[scarlet spire]

thank you, will do

I have to sleep anyways its 3 am where I am

[timid star]

is there a way that simple custom enhancements are done, like basic +mult, xmult and other stuff

[wintry solar]

there we go

use context.area == G.whatever now

[icy cobalt]

am I able to recusively calculate a joker?

[merry raven]

Anyone got examples of booster packs offering enhancements

[wintry solar]

in what sense? playing cards with enhancements?

[merry raven]

Yep

Looked through the documentation but couldn't really figure out how to use create_card

[wintry solar]

need to use create_playing_card I think

[merry raven]

Ah

[dapper sun]

what do i need to change to make the message appear by the joker instead of the card?

[main mica]

try card=card?

in the return

[wintry solar]

message_card = card

[dapper sun]

ty i'll try it

[manic rune]

aint no way my laptop cant run balatro again 😭

bruhhh

gg

not the first time this happened so im not even surprised at this point

[meager socket]

download more RAM.meme

[pulsar horizon]

Lovely 0.6.0, wondering if a newer version might help

[manic rune]

its really just my ram lol

had to close my opera for it to run again

my laptop is just not built to have aseprite, balatro, visual studio code + 2 tabs of file explorer opening at the same time

[long sun]

hiya! going back to what i was doing last night, what's the fix here?

[pulsar horizon]

ah oh well haha

[manic rune]

can you show me your code rq?

also, i think the "resources" folder should be named "assets" instead, not sure if it has any impact on the code execution itself

[long sun]

oh it is called that

[manic rune]

huh

[long sun]

so i have this:

SMODS.Sound({
    key = "fling",
    path = "bfdi_fling.ogg",
  replace = true
})```

[manic rune]

yeah i never tried adding sounds before so im just shooting blind here

[manic rune]

hmm

[long sun]

and then this line should play the sound:
play_sound("fling", 1, 0.5)

[manic rune]

and i assume the "bfdi_fling.ogg" is in assets/sounds?

[long sun]

ayup

[manic rune]

im pretty confused honestly

try play_sound("bfdi_fling", 1, 0.5) to see if it works, i have no clue how sounds work currently 💀

[long sun]

OH IT WORKED

WHAT

THANK YOU

[manic rune]

wait fr? 😭

[vocal verge]

You need to have the mod prefix before the name
But it's not required on the file

[long sun]

oh i see!!

[vocal verge]

miku.ogg in folder
vcld_miku.ogg in code
With vcld being the prefix

For example

The game is otherwise looking not in the mod folder

[manic rune]

lowkey a coincidence his file just so happened to have his prefix in there too

💀

[vocal verge]

Yeah

[long sun]

right now, it considers Joker to be a contestant because i haven't made any contestant jokers yet :}

[manic rune]

is it me or the vid turns black at most parts

[long sun]

it's the video

that's what i meant by choppy footage

[manic rune]

oh lol

[long sun]

obs hates me, it seems =w=

[manic rune]

sometimes videos i watch do have that happen too (hardware issues, probably), so i gotta ask to make sure

[vocal verge]

Oh you're capturing display

Try setting it to just capture the balatro window

[long sun]

oh fair :D

i mean, you get the gist ^^

[manic rune]

is it possible to add another line in loc_vars.text? (through code)

[manic rune]

basically, what i want to do is that another line is added below the "Bonus Set Effects:...", and uh, i tried using "\n" at first and i shouldve expected that it wont work

[merry raven]

How do I make it so that a booster pack only offers a select few enhanced playing cards?

[long sun]

hmm, encountered a bug in Speaker Box that i'd like to work around

how can i have an attribute on a joker, similar to Cryptid's Food Jokers?

[manic rune]

you could add a variable in your jokers' config and loc_var, then check them through codes, like "if card.ability.extra.IsFromMyMod then"

[long sun]

ah gotcha! will try

hey that worked! :D

thanks ^^

[manic rune]

np :D

[long sun]

ooookay problem, it threw this exception on Blackboard

extra wasn't null, but it also wasn't indexable

[broken cliff]

u can try printing it to see what it is

and printing the type of it with type()

[long sun]

oh, i know what it is

it's 3

okay lemme try adding one more condition

type(G.jokers.cards[i].ability.extra) == "table"

oh hey, that worked! :D

[merry raven]

I'm still not sure how to make my booster packs spawn Enhanced cards from a pool of my modded Enhancements

create_card = function(self, card, i)
        local rng = pseudorandom('void_pack')
        if rng > 0.9 then
            return {set = "Enhanced", area = G.pack_cards, skip_materialize = true, enhancement = "fm_transcendent"}
        else
            return {set = "Enhanced", area = G.pack_cards, skip_materialize = true, enhancement = "fm_overshield"}
        end
    end

This one gave me a crash message of attempt to index local 'center' (a nil value)

[broken cliff]

what line is "attempt to index local 'center'" error refers to?

[merry raven]

I forgot and I couldn't really go back since I just fixed it lmao
I just forgot the enhancement prefix m at the enhancement parameter

[broken cliff]

oh

[runic pecan]

I suggest only run them when you need those numbers.
(Unless you're going to always need it, like displaying a in-game clock or something.)

[broken cliff]

^ it runs every second or smth

[frosty dock]

way worse

every frame

[runic pecan]

I was at 7 lines in a joker when I decided to make MultiTextBox but Oh My God you've needed the mod way more than I have.

[manic rune]

oh trust me, thats not even the longest joker's description in my mod 😭

[broken cliff]

bro is close to writing dostoevsky 🥀

[manic rune]

the fact i didnt even add the last two equipment slots and its already that long is kinda concerning

[wintry solar]

I think I have a more elegant way of doing multi text boxes

[broken cliff]

and i thought my 4 liner joker was

Big.

[manic rune]

this is what one of my jokers looks like rn, a whole wikipedia in here if i say so myself

[runic pecan]

I would've suggested putting Bonus Set Effects in info_queue if I knew how to do so.

[frosty dock]

i mean just making a Other description and passing it by set and key should work

[manic rune]

actually, should i just add another button under "Sell" which cycles through the equipment list and the joker's description?

[broken cliff]

u can have 2 sets of text in loc_vars?

[manic rune]

though again, i still dont know how to change loc_txt through code so idk

[broken cliff]

like 1 for description and other for effects?

[royal ridge]

should there be like a simple soft update function?

that only calls on calculate and locvars

[manic rune]

technically, there is

just add whatever you want in calculate without a context

[royal ridge]

yeah but then you have to retype it in locvars

absolutely horrendous

i want my money back

[manic rune]

you have to do that?

i thought it will change that too

[royal ridge]

but anyway could just like, take ownership of the vanilla jokers and stuff to use this instead

idk if quantum enhancement lag is still a problem

[merry raven]

create_card = function(self, card, i)
        local rng = pseudorandom('void_pack')
        if rng > 0.9 then
            return {
                set = "Enhanced", 
                area = G.pack_cards, 
                skip_materialize = true,
                no_edition = false,
                enhancement = "m_fm_transcendent"
            }
        else
            local void_enhancements = {
                "m_fm_overshield",
                "m_fm_volatile",
                "m_fm_devour"
            }
            local selected_enhancement = void_enhancements[math.random(#void_enhancements)]
            
            return {
                set = "Enhanced", 
                area = G.pack_cards, 
                skip_materialize = true,
                no_edition = false,
                enhancement = selected_enhancement
            }
        end
    end

Well I managed to spawn my mod-specific Enhancements for my mod-specific booster, but for some reason they don't come with random Editions or Seals, anything I'm missing?

[royal ridge]

it will always work but it may display the wrong value

so you just call the function when displaying

[manic rune]

sometimes i wonder if i can somehow make all of those stats work in balatro context

💀

[runic pecan]

The fact that I can use os.date in lua means I can make a joker doing extra things during specific days like Christmas or New Year or someone's Birthday.

[broken cliff]

jolly jimbo actually being jolly

[glad osprey]

someone should make a mod where a joker can be eternal and perishable

[broken cliff]

that would be awful

eternal perishable AND rental joker however!

[glad osprey]

true...

and it still rentals after perishing

[runic pecan]

That's just an un-sell-able perishable.

[glad osprey]

yes

[icy cobalt]

I tried to start_dissolve() some cards and they got shuffled away despite being destroyed

\

[broken cliff]

return remove = true

that will destroy the card

[sullen fern]

they aren’t dead unless you observe them

this is basic quantum knowledge

[manic rune]

whats advanced quantum knowledge

my good sir

[broken cliff]

"i cook krabber patters"

shutter up spongebib

[manic rune]

dang

[sullen fern]

i would tell you but i’m not a quantum physicist

[manic rune]

we r graduating harvard with this one 🗣️

[icy cobalt]

Remove = true in the event or the return?

[broken cliff]

i graduated from mental institute

[glad osprey]

return

i think

[broken cliff]

try return first

[icy cobalt]

hmm doesn't appear to have worked

[broken cliff]

then in Event

[manic rune]

damn, ice cube is lowkey op

for an uncommon joker

[broken cliff]

did you get 2 1 in 15;s in a row

[manic rune]

average mod testing experience at this point

[long sun]

i did 😭

[icy cobalt]

Hmmm still doesn't work

[broken cliff]

bro got that 0.4% chance 🙏🏿

[void pecan]

how can I modify all probablilitys like dice?

[broken cliff]

0.004 CHANCE

[manic rune]

i keep getting blueprint/brainstorm for my first shop whenever im testing 💀

[manic rune]

nope, just 0.4444444444%

you forgot to multiply that by 100

[broken cliff]

i suggest u read the oops all 6 card source code since idk

[manic rune]

^ i concur with the guy above me

oh fun fact

i played a 5 lucky cards hand once and got $20 four times in a row

my friend legit started beating me up for that

😭

[void pecan]

I know how to get the source code, but how do I find that specific part? If I search "oops all 6" 202u3094273047234 things pop up

[broken cliff]

impossible

[manic rune]

which is 0.001975308642%

lol

i didnt even have oops, all 6 joker

[broken cliff]

search "doubles all "

[void pecan]

thx

[broken cliff]

it will point you to loc_var ig

[manic rune]

nah but his luck lowkey sucks

😭

saw him breaking a hand full of glass cards before

[broken cliff]

1/4^5

[manic rune]

about 0.1%

lol

[broken cliff]

0.09765625

[manic rune]

mhm, our luck is the polar opposite of each other

which is pretty funny

[hardy viper]

who is playing 5 glass cards tho

[broken cliff]

if u could why Not

[hardy viper]

gotta be hella deep in endless

[manic rune]

my friend, he got sock & bussin + photochad

[hardy viper]

more chances to break

[broken cliff]

five of a kind and like x10 mult

calm

[hardy viper]

better to play the minimum required to beat the blind

[manic rune]

fair point, but big score = happi

soo 🗣️

[hardy viper]

[broken cliff]

This guy Would not skip for a negative tag

Funbreaker

[manic rune]

truly

partypooper

[void pecan]

I checked in all main files 😭
All 0 results

[broken cliff]

wait how to access the source code

🙏🏿

[manic rune]

💀

use 7-zip

and extract the game

[void pecan]

the exe*

[broken cliff]

the exe file?

[manic rune]

yeah

[broken cliff]

oh alr

[manic rune]

shouldve been more specific, my bad

[manic rune]

lemme find rq

[void pecan]

I got 10 min before school 🙏

[broken cliff]

oh WTF IT WORKED

[void pecan]

Just tryna get started

[manic rune]

this?

[broken cliff]

this is truly magic

[void pecan]

its G.GAME.probabilites, thats so obvious 😭

[manic rune]

nah i get you 😭

[void pecan]

whats the [k] do tho?

not familliar with lua

[manic rune]

uhh

its like

[pulsar horizon]

don't even need to extract the game - iirc Lovely dumps all game lua files inside its folder?

[manic rune]

local table = {
["mama"] = "yo"
}

for i,v in pairs(table) do
--i in this case is "mama"
end

[manic rune]

oh yeah, true

[broken cliff]

didnt even know u can js

NONCHALANTLY EXTRACT ALL FILES

FROM AN EXE

atleast from a love(englne) game

[pulsar horizon]

Not all exes, yea

[broken cliff]

yh it wont work in other cases

[void pecan]

so if I set G.GAME.probabilities = 100

[manic rune]

it will work, yes

[void pecan]

Joker idea

[broken cliff]

you basically did the cryptid mod

🙏🏿

[manic rune]

true

😭

[broken cliff]

but more op

[pulsar horizon]

wouldn't that fuck up the table though

[void pecan]

yap yap yap

[broken cliff]

yh it would

u woul dneed to Iterate

[void pecan]

a lot, but its funny

[manic rune]

aint no way bro just did that 💀

[void pecan]

safely would be go through the probabilities and set them to 100

But I aint doing allat

[broken cliff]

Oops! All Errors!

[pulsar horizon]

see you in 5 minutes when you can't fix game crashes

[manic rune]

"if balatro crashes, you won" 🗣️

i remember seeing that from somewhere

[broken cliff]

if balatro crashes u get 1 million dollars from local thunk

confirmed

[manic rune]

he indeed confirmed in a talk tuah episode

[hushed field]

i hope i'm not interrupting, haha, but I've been bumping my head against this for an hour. Does calculate_joker also work if it's called on a card that isn't a joker, like a playing card with a custom enhancement?

[manic rune]

im pretty sure not

[frosty dock]

[manic rune]

💔

there goes my dream to win the jackpot in 1 try

what the fuck is that anime mouth, john smods 😭

i have no clue tbh

:b

[manic rune]

bro not again 😭

[manic rune]

even more snitched mouth, crazy :^

[manic rune]

anddd my steam just crashed

holy shit, i need a better pc

[frosty dock]

тοο вαδ

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[manic rune]

i feel like im the only person here with a pc whose ram is not sufficient to even run balatro 💀

[frosty dock]

how much u got

[manic rune]

8 gb ram

[frosty dock]

yikes

[manic rune]

surely aseprite cant eat that much ram

[frosty dock]

I mean Balatro will never use more than 2

[manic rune]

wait, really?

is it capped

[frosty dock]

it physically can't, at least in lua land

[manic rune]

huh

interesting

[runic pecan]

So it's technically capped?
As in, capped by technological sense.

[manic rune]

metamorphically capped

[frosty dock]

counterargument https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1336473631483760791

[manic rune]

wuh

i have no clue what happened but this lowkey looks cool

[tepid crow]

lol

[hushed field]

asesprite is also capped at 2, as far as i know

[manic rune]

probably my opera gx then, my bane of existence

[dapper sun]

i keep getting an error saying card:juice_up() isn't a thing even though i keep seeing things use it??

[runic pecan]

You might had called the juice_up function on a non-card object?
That's my first thought.

[manic rune]

should i be concerned if my jokers.lua is almost 2k lines now

[broken cliff]

how much Jokers in there

[manic rune]

this is probably enough to feed everyone in italy ngl

[manic rune]

7

💀

[broken cliff]

287 lines per jimbo

[runic pecan]

Some vanilla file got 3k. You're fine.

[crisp coral]

LobotomyCorp's localization file is 3000 lines still got a long way to go

[manic rune]

dang

[dapper sun]

it shouldn't be,, it should only be called by the joker

i copied a lot of my code from the example mod's gros michel copy

[broken cliff]

check if the card even Exist or smth or if its an table/array with cards

instead of cards themselves

[runic pecan]

As always, show your code here.
(preferably by screenshots)

[wintry solar]

what is this code trying to do

[broken cliff]

think when card is destroyed it eats it

[dapper sun]

yea

i forgor to include the line in the screenshot but

[wintry solar]

destroy the first hand if it's only 1 card?

[dapper sun]

yea like dna but it destroys the card after scoring

[manic rune]

holy crap my eyes 😭

[broken cliff]

probable

[broken cliff]

Notepad++ gang

[dapper sun]

it'll also add a x0.25 mult to the joker when you do it

[hardy viper]

np++ has dark themes smh

[manic rune]

nah but honestly i used to code on visual studio (not code) so probably fine ❤️

[dapper sun]

i did get it all working but now i'm rewriting things trying to add juice

[broken cliff]

did u make mods for unity games

[manic rune]

nope

[wintry solar]

this should work

if context.destroying_card and #context.full_hand == 1 and G.GAME.current_rounds.hands_played == 0 then
  card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.gain
  return {
    remove = true,
    message = 'blablabla'
  }
end```

[manic rune]

just that i had visual studio installed on my pc

[broken cliff]

so, then why the visual Studio

[manic rune]

and thought "oh hey, i got vsc"

😭

[wintry solar]

don't know why you're trying to do it all manually

[manic rune]

so i started using it

[dapper sun]

the problem is adding the juice, not the functionality

[manic rune]

not even bothering to check its not even vsc to begin with

man

the reason why every single line in my file is misaligned actually 💀

had to manually space them out

[wintry solar]

what do yo want to juice?

[broken cliff]

the card

card:juice_up()

[dapper sun]

this was the code before i tried adding juice
-# (spoilered bc light mode)

[hardy viper]

visual studio kinda goated tbh..

[wintry solar]

in fact, just do message_card = card in the return table

[dapper sun]

that's what i've been trying,,

[manic rune]

nah fr

[wintry solar]

which card do you want to juice?

[runic pecan]

Maaaybe show us your error message as well?

[manic rune]

i appreciate the thought behind the spoilering honestly 😭

[dapper sun]

only bc you made a big deal out of it before,, ,

[crisp coral]

nah don't spoiler, let them suffer

[broken cliff]

i code in Microsoft Word

[manic rune]

crazy work

[crisp coral]

your ass just copied that code inside word

[manic rune]

nah let him cook

[manic rune]

u gotta color the words too

❤️

[broken cliff]

custom syntax highlighting

[manic rune]

make it authentic

[broken cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/reference-captain-america-avengers-understood-gif-7991943

[wintry solar]

what card do you want to juic

[long sun]

what does this exception mean?

[manic rune]

for i = 1, a do

that "a" probably isnt a number

[broken cliff]

it means that the end condition for a loop should be a number

[crisp coral]

means you incorrectly returned a value in your jokers

[dapper sun]

the joker

[wintry solar]

at what timing?

[long sun]

makes sense, thanks! :D

it was an incorrect return

[dapper sun]

timing?

[manic rune]

oh dang

[wintry solar]

yeah, when do you want it to shake

[dapper sun]

as it destroys the card

[manic rune]

nah but rq, this surely cant be the only way to do this right 💀

[broken cliff]

"feetEffect"

[manic rune]

x0.1 mult, too smelly

[wintry solar]

no event jank is going to make that work

[runic pecan]

At this point you should just build a table in loc_vars before returning it.

[broken cliff]

can u technically put wait XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[manic rune]

true

[dapper sun]

?

[pulsar horizon]

bro is out here creating an Exodia set

[manic rune]

you would be surprised by how close i am to achieving that

[wintry solar]

The event queue will go calculate which cards to destroy>evaluate effects returned by jokers here>destroy cards

in fact there's a step inbetween there still

[pulsar horizon]

make it so it turns them glitched or some other weird effects if you create it with 2 left arms or something haha

[runic pecan]

What would the effect of the actual Exodia be in Balatro, though?

[dapper sun]

well, it only destroys a card when one's played in the first hand, like dna

[pulsar horizon]

it turns the game into a yugioh match going forward

[dapper sun]

naninf naninf

[long sun]

this chunk of code is being run repeatedly, what am i missing?

if context.end_of_round and not context.blueprint and not context.repetition then
      card.ability.extra.current_mult = card.ability.extra.current_mult + card.ability.extra.mult_scale
      card.ability.extra.mult_scale = card.ability.extra.mult_scale + 1
      card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')})
    end```

[manic rune]

wins the run

❤️

[pulsar horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-boo-gif-1281926785517906930

[manic rune]

theres an exodia card which eats up pieces to increases its attack

[runic pecan]

"Wins every round from now on" Yeah but kinda boring.

[manic rune]

ye, but it makes the most sense

[crisp coral]

the pieces disappear and you do a 2 hour long bossfight with jimbo

oh wait that's my mod

[manic rune]

brother this is NOT apoc bird 😭

[manic rune]

i would open my browser to search for that card

but

unfortunately, everything will crash if i do

(not even joking at this point, send help)

[dreamy thunder]

im trying to return hand_chips as chips given by a joker but it crashes when using talisman. How can i make it compatible with talisman?

[broken cliff]

error?

[dreamy thunder]

1sec

it works fine without talisman

[runic pecan]

What about "Sacrifice random one of five pieces to save you from death"?

[broken cliff]

hm

try doing to_big(number)

[dreamy thunder]

where?

[runic pecan]

Ah, yes, classic talisman behaviour, changing numbers into tables to break the technical limit.

[broken cliff]

hand_chips = to_big(number) ig

i cant see ur code sadly

[dreamy thunder]

oh yh mb

[manic rune]

theoretically speaking, is this possible

oh wait nvm

it should be i

[void pecan]

Yeah, who the hell codes on that stuff

[manic rune]

ok nvm not

refreshed my brain, realized that wont work

[broken cliff]

wait

could u technically

write code in roblox studio then port it to .lua balatro mod

[manic rune]

probably?

[broken cliff]

better than microsoft word

better than notepad++

get a useless code and a bunch of error suggestions since ur doing smod.joker {} and not smod.joker = {}

[manic rune]

oh wait, it actually works

[hardy viper]

naw

[manic rune]

i just have to reorganize everything again

sheesh

[hardy viper]

much different Lua version

[manic rune]

thats gonna save a lot of my time

[hardy viper]

something that would be syntactically correct in luau could fail on luajit

and vice versa

[manic rune]

for instance, a += 1

[hushed field]

screenshot's mostly just for some context. Trying to figure out a way for a joker to trigger the calculate function on enhancements. At least, in a somewhat simple way. I'm not really making headway in trying to think of alternative ways to do this in a way that's not going to result in me writing some truly terrible code

[hardy viper]

yup

[manic rune]

that was my first crash, genuinely thought that worked 😭

[hardy viper]

i wish it did

[broken cliff]

wait += doesnt work?

[hushed field]

i keep doing this and sighing when balatro crashes

[broken cliff]

😭

[runic pecan]

In lua, unfortunately, no.

[manic rune]

it doesnt

[broken cliff]

this is so sad

[manic rune]

a huge shame

💔

[broken cliff]

alexa turn on despasito

[hardy viper]

lua developers writing variable = variable + 1 instead of variable++

[wintry solar]

why do you need the enhancement's calculate function?

[manic rune]

instead of variable = variable + 10, why not do:

variable++
end

would save so much time smh

[hardy viper]

so true

[broken cliff]

js add 10 and set the variable to be a constant smh

[wintry solar]

man I wish += was a thing in lua

[broken cliff]

and if u need another one js do it again bruh

rely on magic numbers not variables

[hushed field]

the sci-fi enhancement upgrades it's chips and mult when played. That all works. That joker, when triggered, upgrades all sci-fi cards in hand.

[long sun]

(bump)

[manic rune]

instead of using math, just use math.random, let god decides the number instead ❤️

[wintry solar]

and it's set up to use your custom context?

[broken cliff]

ur joker is running in all other context when they are in end of the round ig

[fallen pelican]

I'd just add a bool check if it's run already

[manic rune]

probably context.individual?

idk

im bad at guessing contexts 💀

[long sun]

will try that :D

[manic rune]

(wait what is context.individual for again 🗣️)

[broken cliff]

each card scoring

[wintry solar]

update your smods and use if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval

[manic rune]

oh damn

[hushed field]

as in, that card should recognize my custom context? as far as I know, yes, though regardless, even if I check and give it other context, it doesn't trigger at all

[wintry solar]

can you show the enhancement calculate?

[dreamy thunder]

wifi crashed

[runic pecan]

Unrelated to your question, you don't need to check context.repetition when context.end_of_round is already true.

[long sun]

trying this now

[long sun]

(gotcha :D)

[broken cliff]

what is mod_chips

afaik hand_chips is a bignum in talisman

[hushed field]

was just grabbing it!

        print("TESTING - ")
        if (context.cardarea == G.play and not context.repetition) or context.sci_fi_upgrade then

            -- Sets values, as upgrade should happen after scoring
            card.ability.times_upgraded = card.ability.times_upgraded + 1
            card.ability.mult = card.ability.mult + card.ability.a_mult
            card.ability.bonus = card.ability.bonus + card.ability.a_chips

            card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil,
              { message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'), colour = G.C.CHIPS })
        end
    end```

[dreamy thunder]

its the same without it i was jst trying stuff

[broken cliff]

and bignum is a way of having numbers bigger than 1e308

[broken cliff]

no what does it do, like does it modify chips?

is it a built-in function?

[wintry solar]

okay cool, just drop a SMODS.calculate_context({sci_fi_upgrade = true}) instead of the loops in if is_same then1

[dreamy thunder]

its originally like this

i used it as a way to store hand_chips

[long sun]

this happened after attempting to update SMODS

[wintry solar]

start a new run

[long sun]

fair ^^"

[hushed field]

aight, gonna try that out, thanks! I knew I should've looked deeper into the other calculate variations, haha

[long sun]

oh uh. Talisman works, but i can't access my other mods

[broken cliff]

what does mod_chips do tho

if it expects a number then it will not work with talisman

[wintry solar]

mod_chips is a vanilla function

[dreamy thunder]

what im saying the code does not containt mod_chips in the first place. The first image was me trying things

[broken cliff]

does storedchips appear in the loc_vars?

bcuz it expects a string or a number not a bignum(a way to store huge numbers using tables)

[dreamy thunder]

yeah

xx in vanilla and xx.00 in talisman

[broken cliff]

yh i think u might have a problem with that

[dreamy thunder]

i dunno how to get arround it though

[broken cliff]

talisman converts numbers into bignum's which are tables

[dreamy thunder]

well how would i fix the issue

[long sun]

found my problem ^^"

[wintry solar]

don't use talisman 🙃

[dreamy thunder]

oh well

no way to get arround it?

[broken cliff]

uhhhh

ig u can check the uhhh

talisman source code

to see how it converts the score

to a bignum/string that u can read

[wintry solar]

nah talisman has some functions to make the score readable

do you need talisman though?

[broken cliff]

yh and apply it to storedchips

so taht u can read the chips 🧠

[dreamy thunder]

i mean otherwise the mod would be incompatible with mods that require talisman

[wintry solar]

I'm just trying to get mods not to require talisman

[broken cliff]

js dont get chips bigger than e308 🧠

[long sun]

hmm, now Train Station is broken

local igo = Game.init_game_object
function Game:init_game_object()
  local ret = igo(self)
  ret.current_round.train_station_card = { rank = 2 } 
  ret.current_round.fainfol_card = { suit = 'Spades' } 
  return ret
end

function SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals(run_start)
  G.GAME.current_round.fainfol_card = { suit = 'Spades' }
  local valid_cards = {}
  for i, j in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
    if not SMODS.has_no_suit(j) then
        valid_cards[#valid_cards + 1] = j
    end
  end
  if valid_cards[1] then 
      local chosen_card = pseudorandom_element(valid_cards, pseudoseed('fainfol'..G.GAME.round_resets.ante))
      G.GAME.current_round.fainfol_card.suit = chosen_card.base.suit
  end
  if G.GAME.current_round.train_station_card.rank == 14 then
    G.GAME.current_round.train_station_card.rank = 2
    else
    G.GAME.current_round.train_station_card.rank = G.GAME.current_round.train_station_card.rank + 1
    end
end```

[hushed field]

crashes because calculate_context is nil, but I do think that's a good lead to make this work, haha. I'll try and look around in the code to see how calculate_context is properly used another time, when I'm not feeling my brain turn off, haha

[wintry solar]

what smods versiion are you running?

[hushed field]

1.0.0~ALPHA-1304a-STEAMODDED

[runic pecan]

We're already at like fourteen hundreds right now, iirc.

[wintry solar]

do yourself a favour and don't develop on oldcalc

[cedar anvil]

old calc sucks

[hushed field]

haha, damn, i don't even know how i'm so behind. I think I may have accidentally swapped the version out when switching between mods for developing and playing, haha

[broken cliff]

whats the difference between oldcalc and newcalc

the calc function?

[wintry solar]

almost everything to do with calculation

[hushed field]

i have no clue how I did that, haha, I'm quite impressed with myself there, honestly. The version that I got from the github page is definitely the most recent one. That's good to call out, though, I wouldn't have even considered being out of date because of that

[wintry solar]

anyway, that should work fine on newest versions

[hushed field]

just tried it, definitely does! thanks so much, haha

means I can finally properly use this guy, instead of just having him stare at me in tarot packs

[vivid solstice]

hey, im new to modding and im kind of lost, im unsure of what folders to add and how to order them, like a jokers and cosumables folder and a basic layout would be nice thx

[ionic timber]

any way to get the current scoring card without going in a loop ?

[hardy viper]

context.other_card

typically

[ionic timber]

well, it kind of does what I want it to do , but not quite;

I want to make it so that every scoring heart is turned into a wild card, but for feedback sake I want it to be only when the card score (when it scores the chips) but it just instantly turn every heart card into a wild card the moment I play them

and for some reason it always happen, even in a loop, I might just be stupid

[maiden river]

is there a way to make the use button not appear when you click on a card
I don't really have any reason for the use button for these cards specifically

also just noticed it's behind the other number lmao

[cursive glade]

On a joker, is it possible to get G.GAME fields outside of the calculate function? Like if I wanted to set the xmult based off of the number of times a specific hand is played instead of a basic increment? Or am I going about that wrong?

[wintry solar]

you can check how many times a hand has been played inside your calc function, yeah

[runic pecan]

Behold, my version of Exodia. (just background) (if you know, you know)

[hushed field]

ooh love that colour scheme

[manic rune]

is that a jojo reference

[runic pecan]

No, this is Patrick.
No, this is hololive 2nd generation.

[manic rune]

oof, the first and second backgrounds lowkey remind me of soft and wet & sticky fingers lol

[cursive glade]

How do I spawn vanilla jokers? SMODS.add_card() gives me a attempt to index local 'center' [a nil value] error

                SMODS.add_card({
                    set = "Joker",
                    key = "j_showman",
                    area = G.jokers,
                })

[red flower]

It's j_ring_master

[cursive glade]

ah

thanks

[dapper sun]

how do i stop a joker from appearing in the shop?

[cursive glade]

Should probably look at the code for Gros Michel and Cavendish for that

[hardy viper]

use the event manager (https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager) to sync with the game properly

[hardy viper]

add an in_pool function to the center that returns true if you want it to be in shop and false otherwise

[dapper sun]

the center?

[hidden timber]

@hardy viper are you on Windows by any chance?

[wintry solar]

set_ability actually has a delay_sprites arg that should do all the timing automatically

[maiden river]

@wintry solar after using the new select_card thing for packs, after picking the first card out of the pack, the other ones go back to saying use

[hardy viper]

yep

[hidden timber]

You wanna try the mod manager?

[hardy viper]

im down yeah i won't be at home for several hours though

[wintry solar]

Huh, will do some experimenting on my end

[hidden timber]

So you're currently not at home?

[hardy viper]

yeah

[hidden timber]

Ahh hit me up when you're home and I'm gonna send you a copy

[maiden river]

also, whenever I select something it adds two, but one isn't actually there

that might be something on my end tho

the scuffed stuff is still there lmao

[wintry solar]

Oh definitely get rid of the scuffed stuff

[worthy anchor]

Does anyone have suggestions for good mods to look at for help with coding, mods that are more up to date? I keep trying to look at mods only to find out that the code on them hasn't been updated in forever and thus is only barely supported by steammodded

[maiden river]

yeah that was it lmao

the use thing still happens tho

[broken cliff]

debugplus

it helps with debugging

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

[maiden river]

are you asking about mods for helping to write code or mods to look at for examples?

[hardy viper]

not cryptid

[wintry solar]

Yeah I think I know why the use button comes back, should be an easy fix

[maiden river]

huge

[broken cliff]

Oh he meant example mods

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod this might help

[wintry solar]

I would recommend ortalab but I am biased

Examplejokers still needs properly updating to new calc

[maiden river]

the most recent mod I can think of is Maximus (https://github.com/the-Astra/Maximus), I have some I wrote not too long ago as well (https://github.com/rae-vyn/calling_cards)

[sullen fern]

so, i shouldn’t be using oldcalc to develop mods?

[maiden river]

no, not really

[sullen fern]

i really wanted my mod to be able to work alongside cryptid

[worthy anchor]

i meant more mods to look at for examples

i keep going "maybe i should look at this mod that could be interesting" and then seeing whoopsthat mod was made for smod 9.8.7 or whatever

[sullen fern]

cryptid is one of the main reasons why i wanted to get into modding balala

[manic rune]

balala the sequel of balatro, that mobile game?? 😭

[wintry solar]

Then download the refactor branch of cryptid

[sullen fern]

no, that’s joker poker - balala

[manic rune]

peak game

clearly better than balatro smh

[maiden river]

I've been trying to find balala since I need to see what that could possibly even look like

it's so funny that they called it "balala"

[nova finch]

trying to make a joker that upgrades for every 3 in hand.
this code just doesn't upgrade by any circumstance

anyone that can help?

[maiden phoenix]

Replace the card = self by card = card

[broken cliff]

it upgrades the card i think, not the jikor

jokir*

[maiden phoenix]

card in calculate refers to the joker

[vague pendant]

Is there an easy way to have a joker reset a value after a boss blind? only thing I'm finding on the SMODS.Wiki is counting to three when a blind is won and resetting then.

[maiden phoenix]

Look up the code for Campfire

[vague pendant]

ykw I forget about that joker a lot :P

thanks!

[wintry solar]

also update smods

[nova finch]

didn't do anything

[broken cliff]

do u want to upgrade the card or the joker itself

[nova finch]

joker

[broken cliff]

whats in the config table

of the joker

[long sun]

hi sorry again, my code isn't working again =w=

[nova finch]

chips and chip_gain

[long sun]

if context.joker_main and card.ability.extra.current_mult > 0 then
      return {

        mult_mod = card.ability.extra.current_mult
      }
    end

    if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval then
      card.ability.extra.hands_used = 0
      if card.ability.extra.hands_used == 1 then
      card.ability.extra.current_mult = card.ability.extra.current_mult + card.ability.extra.mult_scale
      card.ability.extra.mult_scale = card.ability.extra.mult_scale + 1
      card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')})
      end
    end

    if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.before and not card.getting_sliced then
      card.ability.extra.hands_used = card.ability.extra.hands_used + 1
      if card.ability.extra.hands_used == 2 then

          colour = G.C.RED
        }
      end
    end```

could someone be a dear and check over it for me please? ^^"

[broken cliff]

no like copy the full line of it

[broken cliff]

i suggest you do
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
if context.other_card:get_id() == 3 then
card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chip_gain

and add the debuff check ye

[normal crest]

card.ability.extra.hands_used = 0
if card.ability.extra.hands_used == 1 then

that if will never be true

[wintry solar]

can you screenshot the entire calculate function

[long sun]

oh true =w=

i meant for it to go on the end, lemme test and report :>

[normal crest]

instead of returning mult_mod you can return mult only and it'll automatically make the message for you (assuming you're in a recent version of steamodded)

[normal crest]

last thing, instead of using card_eval_status_text, just return { message = localize('k_upgrade_ex') }

[wintry solar]

and what happens currently when you play a 3?

[nova finch]

just realized i forgot to change mult_mod

[nova finch]

it upgreades when I play a 3 but I want it to upgrade for every 3 held in hand

[wintry solar]

oh

well then why are you checking if the 3s are in G.play?

[long sun]

okay it's working great, thanks!!

[nova finch]

i was going off of the code for baron and shoot the moon and they were in G.play

[normal crest]

G.play is played cards, G.hand is what you want

[cedar stream]

also question for the modding community, if you ever decide to try and refer some code from MTJ could you @cedar stream if there is anything i could clarify better on? as i tend to refer people to look at the mods code and i dont want to make things more confusing for them

[wintry solar]

they're in G.hand

[broken cliff]

what is mtj

[cedar stream]

magic the gathering mod for balatro

the mod is called "Magic the Jokering"

[broken cliff]

they freezed the jimbo

[broken cliff]

oh

[prisma loom]

what context is used for "when this card is played/discraded"?

[wintry solar]

whats the effect?

[prisma loom]

When this card is scored/discarded, draw 2 cards

(on top of regular 1 card draw for used card)

[wintry solar]

you just need to add the discard context then

[teal cosmos]

for balatro's artwork what's the pixel bit size? 32 or 64?

[prisma loom]

Ive added it and it still does nothing (literally)

it did nothing before as well

no crashes at least

[wintry solar]

you don't have an extra table

so you're telling it to draw nil

[prisma loom]

are you talking about number of cards it should draw?

or table is your deck?

[wintry solar]

what

card.ability.extra does not exist

[prisma loom]

oh right I forgot about that

I only added loc vars and put num of cards in it instead of config

my b

[valid trench]

does anyone know why this is happening?

needed to update lovely nvm

[edgy mountain]

can someone help me figure out whats wrong?
my pt_BR isnt being recognized and garlic_bread is displaying nothing

in en-us

the keys seem to be right too

[frosty dock]

why is there no file extension?

[edgy mountain]

on the localization files?

[frosty dock]

yeah

there should be file extensions

e.g. en-us.lua

[edgy mountain]

i think theyre hidden when i look then in other peoples mods

like, its implicit

so i missed it

[graceful magnet]

so starting with this as a base, how would I get the chip value and mult value of a played hand?

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chipStorage, card.ability.extra.multStorage } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then 
            
        end
    end```

[edgy mountain]

oh that was not the problem
i just straight up forgot to put = before the brackets

[graceful magnet]

(also what file is the code for decks stored in? I'd like to take a look at Plasma)

[dreamy thunder]

how does one level up a poker hand ? i checked the games code too and i cant figure out

[normal crest]

they should be stored in "hand_chips" and "mult" global variables

[cursive glade]

How does a joker override a variable of another? Like how "Oops All 6's" can override the chances values of Space Joker and other probabilities? Or should I just look at the code for those?

[normal crest]

there is no overriding, oops all 6s doubles the values stored in G.GAME.probabilities, which other jokers use in their probability calculations

[graceful magnet]

Okay so something like this should be good?

[cursive glade]

Alright, let me rephrase closer to my desired effect.

I made a joker that bases it's xmult off of the times a specific hand has been played. When using Showman, I can buy another, but the initial display value for that xmult is the default value (x1) instead of the increased value based on the hand.played count. How do I make it show the proper xmult in shop even before it's bought?

[normal crest]

A better way would actually be to check local hand = G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name] and then you can access hand.chips and hand.mult

the rest of your code seems like it's not actually doing anything

[graceful magnet]

ahhh

[normal crest]

or rather

[graceful magnet]

you're correct, it did not do anything

[normal crest]

you can achieve the same effect by returning return { swap = true }

[normal crest]

add a set_ability function to your joker definition where you can set the initial values

keep in mind set_ability will be called when you open the collection outside of a run too

[cursive glade]

ah, makes sense. thanks

[graceful magnet]

hm, that doesn't seem to have fixed it. still not doing anything

[normal crest]

Maybe context.before is too early to swap

I am not sure

[graceful magnet]

well the message isn't popping up either

[normal crest]

Try removing the context.cardarea check

[graceful magnet]

that did it

[normal crest]

nice

[graceful magnet]

oop

but it reverts as soon as scoring cards starts

wow thanks OBS great frames

hopefully this shows it better

yeah as soon as it hits a scoring card the swap gets undone

[normal crest]

that's odd

that's why

"before" context happens before the actual mult and chips are set to the hand's amount

[graceful magnet]

ohhh

[prisma loom]

Is this correct?

oh wait

[rough furnace]

I'm not too familar but I don't belive discard and main_scoring can be active at the same time

[prisma loom]

loc vars is wrong

[graceful magnet]

so ideally I want to set it to like, the context right after, or?

[normal crest]

you might have to make your own context for it

should be relatively easy if you know how to do lovely patches

[graceful magnet]

I barely know what I'm doing here , weird workaround time probably

[wintry solar]

yeah you'll need your own patch for that

[prisma loom]

you should be able to target mult, hand_chips, modded = G.GAME.blind:modify_hand(G.play.cards, poker_hands, text, mult, hand_chips) that line, and put your context before that

this should be it, right?

yeah should be, or do context.area == G.pack_cards

hmm

what I currently have written makes it never trigger at all

even when using from a booster

context.consumeable.area == G.pack_cards just makes it work like it did before

context.area == G.pack_cards makes it never trigger as well

and then I can just, do context.afterbefore?

[normal crest]

context is equal to what is after SMODS.calculate_context there

so context is just { after_before = true }

and no other information

if you want smt else you'll have to add it

[graceful magnet]

yeah I mean putting it into the card, just

[normal crest]

yeah pretty mcuh

that will work

[wintry solar]

did you update smods

[scarlet spire]

I took most recent source, I can try again though? maybe something failed

[wintry solar]

what version?

[graceful magnet]

👏 nice!

[scarlet spire]

1410c

[wintry solar]

huh, should work fine

[violet void]

Hi I've made a button appear when a specific card is added to deck, but how would I go to remove it when that card is removed?

    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.GAME.current_alignment = 'thief'

        G.GAME.extra_buttons = UIBox {
            definition = {
                n = G.UIT.ROOT,
                config = {
                    align = "cm",
                    minw = 1,
                    minh = 0.3,
                    padding = 0.15,
                    r = 0.1,
                    colour = G.C.CLEAR
                },
                nodes = {
                    {
                        n = G.UIT.C,
                        config = {
                            align = "tm",
                            minw = 2,
                            padding = 0.1,
                            r = 0.1,
                            hover = true,
                            colour = G.C.ALIGNMENT['cs_thief'],
                            shadow = true,
                            button = "cs_access_stack"
                        },
                        nodes = {
                            {
                                n = G.UIT.R,
                                config = { align = "bcm", padding = 0 },
                                nodes = {
                                    {
                                        n = G.UIT.T,
                                        config = {
                                            text = localize('b_cs_stack'),
                                            scale = 0.35,
                                            colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT
                                        }
                                    }
                                }
                            },
                        }
                    },
                }
            },
            config = {
                align = "tr",
                offset = { x = -11, y = 0 },
                major = G.consumeables,
                bond = 'Weak'
            }
        }
    end,```

[wintry solar]

G.GAME.extra_buttons:remove() in remove_from_deck I would imagine

[scarlet spire]

hmm, print(context.consumeable.from_area) under context.using_consumeable prints a MASSIVE table? is this normal?

[violet void]

worked, ty

[wintry solar]

I really wish I knew what mod keeps messing with negative playing cards and hand size,

[wintry solar]

yes it's a card area

[scarlet spire]

ah

oh, right, hmm

[wintry solar]

can you show what your current code looks like?

[scarlet spire]

full joker or just the calculate function?

[wintry solar]

just the calcualte is fine

[wintry solar]

I have no idea why that doesn't work

[wicked spire]

How do I check if the played hand contais the most played poker hand? I've seen next(context.poker_hands["Hand Name"] but can't figure out the rest

[normal crest]

I don't know how lua compares tables, but if the card is removed right after wouldn't they be considered different

[glad osprey]

how would i stop a card from being destroyed

specifically a playing card

like you use a hanged man on it and it doesnt get destroyed

[wintry solar]

it should just be a reference to the table

[hardy viper]

is it possible G.pack_cards is just a table of the cards in the pack and the actual cardarea is something else?

[wintry solar]

this was definitely working earlier, why on earth is it broken now

oh what why is this patch missing now

okay it's fixed now

[normal crest]

oh right

[scarlet spire]

it works perfectly now, thank you

[chrome prawn]

update on this thing that I'm making
for some reason even thought I set the extra value to be 2 and only 2 the game is adding it to the "perma_bonus" value multiple times in a row and I can't find a way to stop it from happening

does anyone know how to fix this

[graceful magnet]

borrowing from Oops' code, tried subbing the v*2 it uses for doubling the probabilities with a v + 1 to just add 1, unfortunately, doesn't work, wasn't totally surprised but would there be a way to add a flat chance increase?

(I did fix the for loop end formatting, didn't have an effect

[prisma loom]

So ive tried to revision the code referencing cement seal by Minty but the seal itself still does nothing in game:

[normal crest]

main_scoring and discard don't happen at the same time

[rough furnace]

put this in add_to_deck instead of calculate

(also this will interact weirdly with oops)

[prisma loom]

So I should split them into 2?

one if statement for each?

[normal crest]

or you can do if (context.main_scoring or context.discard) and context.cardarea == G.play

[graceful magnet]

well when I make it a * 2 to check, it works in calculate.

Or do you mean for doing a flat boost, it has to be in add_to_deck

[rough furnace]

yeah oops effect is done in add_to_deck (and remove_from_deck to undo). In calcualte it will just add anytime there is a joker calculation

[prisma loom]

now game crashes, ig the next issue is in the function itself

is G.FUNCS.draw_card... is a custom thingy?

I copied it from Codex Arcanuum

[rough furnace]

but also yeah with this effect and oops you can get this to make prob 2, get oops to make prob 4 remove this to set probabily to 3 remove oops and now your probability is 1.5 without any probability jokers

[wintry solar]

card.ability.extra...

[rough furnace]

or oops first > 2 this > 3 remove oops > 1.5 > remove this 0.5

[graceful magnet]

how do I write in an add_to_deck check? Haven't done anything outside of calculate and the source code is a bit hard to grasp

[rough furnace]

it doesn't need checks unless your effect shouldn't be run when undebuffed (which for oops it should)

[graceful magnet]

ah no I mean, how do I replace calculate with add_to_deck

[rough furnace]

it's a different function you can do

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Joker#api-methods

[prisma loom]

I dont get it. I pasted it in all places it could be placed in but it still crashes

[graceful magnet]

okay that's how to write it, right right

[wintry solar]

what does the crash say

[prisma loom]

one sec

[wintry solar]

whats line 13?

[prisma loom]

loc vars (return)

[graceful magnet]

like so?

[rough furnace]

https://tryitands.ee/

[graceful magnet]

oh I should put the rounding step after the subtraction

[wintry solar]

readd your seal on a new run

[prisma loom]

it crashes!

even in collection

either when I hover over the card that has it applied

or in collection

[normal crest]

this scenario will still happen even if you round it @graceful magnet

[graceful magnet]

sure does. weird

[foggy carbon]

it's not weird, it's just how the order works

it's probably why the base game doesn't have any that add to the probabilities

the math gets funky

[normal crest]

you'll probably have to patch oops all 6s

[graceful magnet]

grief, how would I go about that

[wintry solar]

https://imgur.com/r92uR0Z 👀

[marble flint]

you could replace g.game.probabilities with something using metatables for maximum compatibility but that's Annoying As Heck

[foggy carbon]

What's this, game picks two bosses and you can switch between them at will?

[wintry solar]

pretty much

it's tied behind a voucher in ortalab

[foggy carbon]

fun

really looking forward to ortalab when fully featured. There's some really fun ideas already

[chrome prawn]

yo I still need some help with this issue

[prisma loom]

it'd be a cool mechanic if you had a button for big blind to 'raise the stakes' turning it into X2 Boss blind with a double $ reward

mb a new stake difficulty could force this mechanic each ante

that'd incetivise skipping blinds

[wintry solar]

it's getting pretty close now

[prisma loom]

what's call and check?

[sturdy compass]

Yo what?? That sick!

[wintry solar]

call and check are alternate small/big blinds in ortalab

[graceful magnet]

just discovered that probabilities can't go below 1 so I might actually just keep this effect as is

[sturdy compass]

oh boy I'm gonna have to figure out how to make a new card area soon. Does anyone know of any mods that have good examples of card area implementation?

[graceful magnet]

or honestly just make it +2 lol

[hardy viper]

ive just learned that balamod is apparently still being developed

somehow

[sturdy compass]

damn lol

[main mica]

Trying to do a dynamic description background, like a {X:mult} that switches on/off using loc_vars, I've kinda hit a wall though and after looking at misc_functions I've come to the conclusion I need to make a nasty patch for this tiny thing... anyone got a quick solution?

[violet void]

this was fun to do

[marble flint]

iirc there's {V:whatever} templates for that

not super familiar with the specifics, though

[main mica]

Ah but V only does text color, not it's background

Could you still show me a template?

[violet void]

Bettma was a good starting point for me

[sturdy compass]

Bet, thanks for the tip

[exotic hedge]

What's the mod that organizes jokers called so I don't have to deal with this 💀

[marble flint]

not an easy example, but the planets in vanilla use it

[main mica]

Oh, I see

[maiden river]

it's actually not that hard
it's just kinda confusing

[frigid flame]

what is this part doing

[solar eagle]

is there a way to tell a joker to fully re-render itself, or at least re-render the description?

[nova finch]

What is card.ability.loyalty_remaining? I was looking through invis joker's code (I'm trying to make a similar joker) and I'm trying to figure out what it means since it keeps crashing my game

[elder vapor]

setting the perma bonus to itself or zero if it doesn't exist

[marble flint]

you could add an entry to G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS and reference that

[solar eagle]

id assume the number of rounds until loyalty card activates

[foggy carbon]

loyalty card is a card that only procs every 6 hands. It's probably the counter for that.

[main mica]

brilliant! thank you :D

[chrome prawn]

I tried removing that part but it's still adding to the "perma_bonus" value multiple times

[violet void]

Cartomancer

[exotic hedge]

🙏

[sturdy compass]

I'm looking at code for one and I see that now lmfao

[violet void]

have fun

[sturdy compass]

[main mica]

added a dynamic color and it worked like a charm!

OOPS wrong react, sorry! ;^^

[quasi comet]

im trying to add a consumeable to a challenge but it crashes with the error "attempt to index local 'center' (a nil value). im not sure what im doing wrong ?

[red flower]

maybe c_hanged_man?

[quasi comet]

oh! it works now, thanks :]

[frozen iron]

trying to make a stake mod, and I'm having some trouble. I cannot for the life of me get it to the state where it even boots the game 😭 isn't this (prefix config key false) supposed to keep it from checking mod assets for the atlas so that it should check the base game assets? I had to do digging through the discord to attempt to find info on this, the stuff listed on the api wiki is said to be outdated here on discord and I'm starting to feel like I'm going nuts trying to figure out what I'm missing lol

[normal crest]

you don't need to create atlas for the vanilla ones

they're the default on their respective objects iirc

so just specify a position

[frozen iron]

ok I think I understand maybe

[nova finch]

what's the best way to check for if a joker is destroyed? I wanna make a joker that upgrades when that happens

[vague pendant]

I keep running into an issue when I try to use SMODS.create_card() where it keeps throwing attempt to index local 'center' (a nil value)". Anyone know why / a fix?

it also gets thrown when I tried to start a custom challenge run with my new consumable (I use custom challenges for debugging)

[normal crest]

what's your code

where you called create_card

[graceful magnet]

what's the equivalent of this for glass?

or how would I change local card = Card(G.play.T.x + G.play.T.w/2, G.play.T.y, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, front, G.P_CENTERS.m_stone, {playing_card = G.playing_card}) (from Marble Joker) to create a Glass Card instead

[normal crest]

m_glass

[graceful magnet]

okay cool figured

[nova finch]

i would guess you would just change m_stone to m_glass

yeah

[graceful magnet]

I've spliced together Glass Joker and Marble Joker's code, hopefully this does what I expect??

[nova finch]

anyone that can help me?

[graceful magnet]

Nope doesn't trigger at all

kk

okay that's

that's something!

[glad osprey]

mama mia whata i doa wrong

[graceful magnet]

okay now it mostly works as intended

[normal crest]

Remove the = sign

you don't want to reassign SMODS.Sticker

[nova finch]

I have this code right now but it doesn'y do anything

[glad osprey]

whoopsies

ty

[normal crest]

destroy_card is a context used for checking what cards need to be destroyed

there is no built in context for jokers being destroyed

[nova finch]

ohhh ok

[normal crest]

you'll have to make your own

this is how we did it on paperback

[spring lantern]

got a problem here, the card is properly being upgraded when i buy things but the upgrade message doesn't get displayed, could something be blocking it or did i mess something up?

[chrome prawn]

help

[glad osprey]

how might one disable a joker

[jade acorn]

bad at lua but does the second "end" need a comma

[chrome prawn]

should have said this earlier but the game keeps saying that the value "extra" is nil for some reason

[spring lantern]

extra should be a table cos thats what the game expects

then you put your variable inside that table

at least in my experience thats the correct way of doing ot

[chrome prawn]

wdym by that

how do I do that

oh wait I know what you mean

[glad osprey]

instead of
extra = 2
do
extra = {2}

I think

[spring lantern]

no it should be extra = {var_name = 2}

[glad osprey]

o

[spring lantern]

then you access it thru card.edition.extra.var_name

[spring lantern]

gonna sleep now but would preciate some help figuring this out cos the logic is otherwise functional and it's a bit annoying having no visual feedback for when the joker upgrades

tag me and i'll see it tomorrow

[quasi comet]

i wanted to add an "upgraded" message to my function but it seems that it removes the ability for it to trigger on each card ? (it was working fine before adding the message part)

essentially i want it to show "upgraded" for each time a card is destroyed and buffs the joker up;

[wintry solar]

replace the return with SMODS.calculate_effect({message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')}, card)

[quasi comet]

it works! thank you!

[long sun]

hihi, how do you subtract money as part of a joker ability?

[wintry solar]

return dollars = -X

[long sun]

gotcha, thanks :D

[chrome prawn]

tried that and it still didn't work

[glad osprey]

what now 😔
(only happened when i looked at the sticker in the collection)

[wintry solar]

should be card.ability.extra.upgrade

[unkempt thicket]

why does context.full_hand no longer work with context.discard? (im using calculate in a seal btw)

[chrome prawn]

it's not a card it an edition

[nova finch]

how do i check if a card has a specific seal on it when scored?

[wintry solar]

just do it

[wintry solar]

just make sure it exists first, there's a call to seals of just {discard = true}, I think for vanilla functionality

[chrome prawn]

nope it still crashes

[wintry solar]

in the loc vars too

oh wait nvm

I can't read

(:

can you send the entire edition code?

[unkempt thicket]

i'm not sure its working

[chrome prawn]

ya

[wintry solar]

did you do if context.full_hand first?

[wintry solar]

and if you change it back to card.edition.extra.... what's the crash?

[glad osprey]

still an issue, i did smth wrong with the badge colour i think
badge_colour = "84FF57"

[wintry solar]

should be badge_colour = HEX('84FF57')

[glad osprey]

guh

[unkempt thicket]

that worked

[desert ore]

ok I'm learning my first joker creation stuff, so after reading back some messages to see if some of my issues have been solved before, I've seen a lot of references to ModdedVanilla, is that defunct now? it's not in my smods-main folder

[chrome prawn]

ok good news it actual works now tysm

bad news I'm still getting the problem of the chips getting added multiple times in a row instead of just once

which was the problem I was trying to fix in the first place so I'm essentially back at square one

[frozen iron]

i return once again with another conundrum, my fellow fools
why it no unlocked I set it to unlocked after white beaten I can't test it >:(
(also when I try to use galdur with it it crashes telling me atlas is a nil value so that's fun)

[unkempt thicket]

how can i make this add a repetition to the first card after it already scored?

[wintry solar]

what do you mean?

[chrome prawn]

so whenever you use a playing card with this edition on it it's suppose to give 2 extra chips similar to the hiker jokers effect

it works the way it's meant to but instead of giving 2 extra chips it gives 4 extra chips

[nova finch]

Trying to retrigger cards with gold seals. This code shows the mesage but doesn't actually retrigger. Is there anyone that knows why?

[chrome prawn]

my only assumption is that it's doing the calculation twice somehow and I don't know a way to fix it

[glad osprey]

how would I debuff a card that has a sticker, then when a joker is sold it un-debuffs

[last sentinel]

I see ia lot of people on here saying theres no way to act on unscored cards, could one not just iterate through G.play.cards and context.scoring_hand to figure out which played cards dont score?

Not saying that thats wrong just wondering why you couldn't go about it that way

[snow snow]

has anyone made the deck ui show your cards in draw order instead of suit/rank? if not, does anyone know where to start?

[normal crest]

your key is missing the prefix

assuming it's a consumable it'd be

c_JTC_clue
