[frosty dock]

to some extent, yes

but assuming both change the text as well, they'd have to do so non-destructively for that to make sense

[red osprey]

I was more thinking about other cases

[ionic timber]

how to detect if you are currently choosing a card in a pack instead of using G.state ? (using a custom created booster)

or how to add my own pack to G.STATES ?

[modern kindle]

in following the api for smods.pokerhand i still get ui error in the example hand for my poker hand, i even simply copy and pasted the example and it still shows as ui error

is this not the correct way to list it?

    { 'S_K', false }, -- King of Spades, does not score
    { 'S_7', true }, -- 7 of Spades, scores
    { 'D_7', true }, -- 7 of Diamonds, scores
    { 'H_7', true }, -- 7 of Hearts, does not score
    { 'D_3', false } -- 3 of Diamonds, does not score
},```

[minor magnet]

why does this display error?

left is localization file, right is my script

[wintry solar]

I believe it needs a specific_vars arg too

[vivid solstice]

how come this code keeps crashing?

    misc = {
        suits_plural = {
            flip_Flowers = 'Flowers'
            }
        suits_singular = {
            flip_Flowers = 'Flower'
            }
        }
    }```
the game says im not closing the bracket on line 3 near where it says "suits_singular"

[wintry solar]

Missing comma

[vivid solstice]

really? i thought a comma was only necessary when putting multiple things inside the brackets

[red osprey]

You are, you have suits_plural and suits_singular in misc

Put a comma after the closing bracket of suits_plural

[vivid solstice]

oh, was adding a comma to the wring thing, thanks

[red osprey]

The crash log should tell which line it's found an error in. Generally for this it will be the line right after the place you need to ass a comma to

(So in this isntance it should have pointed you to suits_singular)

[minor magnet]

still gives error

wait

[red osprey]

Make it {} instead of nil

Setting it to nil is basically the same as not putting it in

[minor magnet]

still gives error

[tepid crow]

what's the "ui error"?

[obtuse silo]

ok i tried getting the hand to register if a 7 and 10 was in the hand played
didn't work
help me

[obtuse silo]

it's even white
like another type of UI

[minor magnet]

you didnt close the {C:attention}10{}

[obtuse silo]

ah

[tepid crow]

uhhh I recall seeing that one before

[modern kindle]

its suppose tos how the example cards for a played poker hand like it does in vanilla

[violet void]

try moving thee description from Tarot to Other

[obtuse silo]

i don't think that would affect the function of the joker though
it's literally just text

[tepid crow]

can you show your full pokerhand code?

[minor magnet]

[obtuse silo]

ok aside from cosmetics
who can help me out here

[violet void]

thats odd, if you add that same info queue to one of your jokers it should work

[modern kindle]

everything else about it works, just simply the display does not

[tepid crow]

try changing the description to be a table of strings instead of a string

[minor magnet]

tested, does not work

[wintry solar]

Where are you adding the loc txt?

The actual description definition

[minor magnet]

inside en-us.lua in the root mod folder, ill try adding a localization folder and update you

[wintry solar]

It needs to be in the folder yes

[modern kindle]

that definitely helped, i just need to make it display properly now, appreciate it
already fixed the ettention

[tepid crow]

🫡

[wintry solar]

It’s hard to ping on mobile I have to scroll to the bottom of the list

[obtuse silo]

this isn't working
my leading theory is that when it scores each card, the rank checks reset back to false
and since a card cannot be 7 and 10 at the same time, it never triggers

[wintry solar]

You’re returning values that aren’t things

You can do all this in joker main too

And use local flags when you find the correct ranks

[minor magnet]

IT FINALLY WORKS

[manic rune]

wow thats really good

[minor magnet]

now for the important matters

do i call it "Unleashed Ability", "True Potential" or something else entirely?

[normal crest]

unleashed ability is fine

[manic rune]

i think unleashed ability is cool enough

[normal crest]

You should move the "of" to the second line and add "the" after it

[violet void]

"true potential" feels good to me

[wintry solar]

You should probably add true as a third arg in take ownership too

It’ll remove the mod badge

[minor magnet]

alr

[obtuse silo]

so i removed the "return" brackets and made them simple flags

        local hasSeven = false
        local hasTen = false
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if context.other_card:get_id() == 7 then
                    hasSeven = true
            end
            if context.other_card:get_id() == 10 then
                    hasTen = true
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            if hasSeven == true and hasTen == true then
                return{
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
                }                
            end
        end
    end
}```
still nothing
but are you suggesting that i can take all the code starting from `if context.individual and...` and put it in `if context.joker_main then`?

[wintry solar]

It would need slightly adjusting, but yes

[manic rune]

it can replace the "#1#" part now

[minor magnet]

after the function?

[wintry solar]

After the table

So it’d go }, true)

[obtuse silo]

wdym?

[minor magnet]

it crashes if i do that

[wintry solar]

Well you’d have to loop over the hand yourself

[obtuse silo]

like
do a for k, val in ipairs loop?

[wintry solar]

It shouldn’t crash, but also you should update smods

[minor magnet]

OH IM USING OLD SMODS FOR CRYPTID I FORGOT THANK YOU

[wintry solar]

I don’t think that will be the reason of the crash though, silent take ownership has been a thing for ages

[minor magnet]

using new smods doesn't fix it

[wintry solar]

Are you reloading a save perchance?

[minor magnet]

the crash happens as i load the game

[obtuse silo]

would this be acceptable?

[wintry solar]

Oh I think it’s crashing in your loc file?

[glad osprey]

luke pickman music pack coming soon ™️

[wintry solar]

Almost, you want the id of val not other card

And it’s not context.scored

[minor magnet]

forgot to close a bracket, coding license revoked for me 😔

[manic rune]

rq, what happens if i use tonumber("abc")?

[obtuse silo]

that's what I was wondering

what would be the correct context?

[wintry solar]

These are your values inside the joker main context

[hardy viper]

nil

[manic rune]

epic, thanks

[obtuse silo]

scoring_hand seems to be the right one here

gotta be somewhere
i'll leave this error message from playing any hand

maybe it's because i'm writing context.val instead of just val?

[normal crest]

why would context.val exist if these are your values

What's your code exactly

[minor magnet]

?????

[normal crest]

Need to localize

[minor magnet]

how

[vocal verge]

pretty sure that's supposed to be m_lucky in the code

unless this is another localthunk moment

[minor magnet]

ye it is m_lucky in the code im just trying to take ownership and it lost localization

[normal crest]

Try finding how the base game does the localization

[edgy mountain]

how do i detect if the card being bought is a consumable?

[maiden phoenix]

the context buying_card comes with context.card which is the bought card, could check its content

[manic rune]

another function i made

[glad osprey]

if context.buying_card and context.card.<whatever specifies card type> == "Tarot" then...

[manic rune]

dawg 😭

[glad osprey]

I wanna say it's context.card.ability.slot

[edgy mountain]

yup, it worked

[autumn coral]

how do i take ownership of the default names of hands to change them in steamodded

i'm doing something really stupid instead of working on my mod

does smods change the way rarity weights are handled?
I want to make it so the shop can only have rares in it

cryptid has a deck which maybe does that (the one which makes everything has an equal chance of spawning, im pretty sure it changes rarity weight, idk)

[maiden river]

so true

[surreal kernel]

Hello! Me again asking how to add smods for vscode to detect the variables cause I have it in my workspace and it doesn't work

[normal crest]

#💻・modding-dev message I put this on my .vscode/settings.json and that detected it

assuming you're using the Lua extension ofc

[surreal kernel]

Sorry pretty new to programming, where and how do I add this?

I create a .vscode/settings.json and add it there?

[normal crest]

Mods/your mod name/.vscode/settings.json

[surreal kernel]

👌

[normal crest]

I put smods there, but maybe your smods mod folder has a different name

[old bane]

how would i destroy a random card held in my hand (not in the played hand)?

[surreal kernel]

Like this?

[normal crest]

that looks correct

Do you get autocompletions when typing SMODS. in your code

[surreal kernel]

No

[normal crest]

Do you have the lua extension installed

[surreal kernel]

I do have it

got these 4

[normal crest]

Weird

Idk it's working for me just fine

Try adding the ../lovely/dump one

[surreal kernel]

Ah wait I do get it

But it has a squiggly line

And says that+

[normal crest]

Try with this?

Like, have both at once

[surreal kernel]

What does ../ mean? Is it that it's supposed to be in the same folder?

Cause maybe it's that

[normal crest]

../ means going up a folder

[surreal kernel]

Ah ok

[normal crest]

so it should access the Mods folder

[surreal kernel]

Ok that's the problem, I don't have it in the mod folder

[normal crest]

What's in your mods folder

[surreal kernel]

a bunch of mods

But I mean

I don't have the one I'm doing on the mods folder

[normal crest]

Oh

You should

Or I guess if you don't want to

you can copy the full path

and paste it instead of ../smods

[surreal kernel]

Will try

Hmmm like this?

Still the same error

Let me try putting it in the mods folder

[frosty dock]

I just have my full mods folder in my workspace

[surreal kernel]

Yeah I added the whole mod folder just now

Including the one I'm making

Still getting the same error

Ah wait no

Now it works

Still shows squiggly line though

[normal crest]

What'd you end up putting in the settings.json?

[normal crest]

Hmmmm

That seems to be an undefined variable from another extension

luacheck

[surreal kernel]

ahh

[normal crest]

I'm not familiar with it so I wouldn't be able to tell you how to set that one up too

[surreal kernel]

Ok extension yeeted

https://tenor.com/view/osaka-azumanga-daioh-ayumu-kasuga-hi-hello-gif-17854149791558261913

[normal crest]

you'd get globals from other mods if you do this tho

and they wouldn't make sense if you have them disabled ingame

[young dew]

i only did patches for that

# banana image scaling, part 1/2
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "card.lua"
match_indent = true
pattern = "if center.name == \"Wee Joker\" and (center.discovered or self.bypass_discovery_center) then"
position = "before"
payload = '''

    H = H*0.5
    W = W*0.5
    self.T.h = H
    self.T.w = W
end
'''

    self.T.h = H*scale*0.5*scale
    self.T.w = W*scale*0.5*scale
'''

[frosty dock]

steamodded has display_size

[normal crest]

you probably need to set self.children.center.scale

[frosty dock]

you don't need to patch that in

[normal crest]

oh that's convenient

when was it added

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation#display_size

[sturdy compass]

imma bump this rq

[frosty dock]

a month ago

[frosty dock]

I think the front needs to be G.P_CARDS.empty

not sure if that necessarily makes a difference, you could check what cryptid does though

[young dew]

it don't solve the problem 😔

the size changed though

[sturdy compass]

Alright, I honestly forget Cryptid does more than make the Ace glitched lol

[surreal kernel]

How do I check what a card's ID is?

[glass scaffold]

context.other_card:get_id() == 14 gives you Ace

[surreal kernel]

Ok, rephrasing, how do I make it a specific card? I wanna do 7 of diamonds

[manic rune]

automatic description 🗣️

[old bane]

how would i check if a joker is a specific joker by key? i'm trying to make a joker like joker stencil that boosts when another "joker stencil" is in play

[manic rune]

this is without putting a size variable

[red flower]

card.config.center.key == "j_stencil"

you can also get if there's one in play with next(SMODS.find_card("j_stencil"))

[obtuse silo]

bumping this seeing as i'm back and have no answer

[old bane]

i see

[normal crest]

so what's your code

[vivid solstice]

ive got this code to add the names and descriptions to the cards but when I check the game it turns blank what am I doing wrong?

    descriptions = {
        Tarot = {
            flip_flip_t = {
                name = 'The Flip',
                text = {
                    'Flips 3 selected cards in your hand',
                    'into their flipped suit',
                        },
                    },
                },```

[normal crest]

Needs the c_ at the start

So c_flip_flip_t

[vivid solstice]

would that be the same for all consumables?

[normal crest]

Yes

[vivid solstice]

thanks

[surreal kernel]

SMODS.Joker { key = 'sietedeoros', loc_txt = { name = '7 de oros', text = { "Each played {C:attention}7{} of {C:diamonds}Diamonds{}", "gives {X:mult,C:white} X#1# {} Mult" } }, config = { extra = { Xmult = 2} }, rarity = 1, atlas = 'BarajaEspaniolaJokers', pos = { x = 1, y = 1 }, cost = 4, loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card) return { vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } } end, calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then if context.other_card:get_id() == 7 then return { Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult, card = context.other_card } end end end }

Trying to make a joker make 7 of diamonds give x2 mult

I'm copying walkie talkie from the examples

But can't get it to work on any 7

Let alone on specific ones xD

[normal crest]

put x_mult instead of Xmult_mod

[frosty dock]

Xmult_mod always requires a message due to vanilla behavior

[faint yacht]

...so I have a table of sounds that I want to look for. Would it not be like this?

local sfxtable = {'chips1', 'multhit1', 'multhit2', 'coin3', 'generic1', 'foil2'}
if sfxtable['insertinputsfxnamehere'] then ... end

[past forge]

I guess is a pretty mid card just because they are easier ways to make the same amount of money but i dont know how to improve it keeping the theme, ¿any ideas?

[normal crest]

No, the indexes in that scenario are from 1 to 6

[frosty dock]

that's what one might call an array

[normal crest]

if you wanted to access it by name you'd need to to local sfxtable = { name = 'something' } etc etc

[frosty dock]

if you want a table representing a set, the values should be the keys

local sfxtable = { chips1 = true, multhit1 = true, ... }

[past forge]

i also want to make the "suits changes every round" smaller like the ancient joker does

but i dont know how to make that subtitle

[frosty dock]

like {s:0.8}

[past forge]

oh true, scale exists

[frosty dock]

-# (scales by a factor of 0.8, tweak as needed)

[past forge]

lmao

thanks

[frosty dock]

-# now it's also a subtitle

[faint yacht]

local sfxtable = { 'chips1' = true, 'multhit1' = true, 'multhit2' = true, ... }, ya?

[frosty dock]

that's not what I said

[normal crest]

without the ' around the names

that was just a mistake on my example that i edited to fix

[frosty dock]

either chips1 = true or ['chips1'] = true

you may need the latter for keys that are not valid identifiers

[past forge]

thanks, now its perfect

(forgot the decimal point)

if card.is_suit('Diamonds') and card.base.value == '7' then
Trying to detect if it's a 7 of diamonds with this, is this correct? Assuming not cause I get this crash:

[red flower]

card:is_suit with a colon

[vivid solstice]

where can you find the vanilla code for consumables in the game files?

[surreal kernel]

Hmm changed it and now it doesn't crash but still doesn't trigger

[normal crest]

what's your code

[old bane]

how would i make it so that my custom rarity uses the label i set for it? cause right now it's just ERROR

[red flower]

they should be in card.lua i think, seach for the full name

[surreal kernel]

Alright managed to make it

Thank you for the help

[past forge]

Im trying it to detect if Full house contains a trio of some suit and/or a pair of some suit, but can not think on the logic around it

[faint yacht]

next(poker_hands['Pair'])?

[past forge]

wdym

[old bane]

I wonder if it's possible to make custom behavior to allow Jokers to become gold 🤔

[old bane]

that is how you find out of if a hand has a pair in it

then you can do card:is_suit() for the second part

[surreal kernel]

How do I look at the four fingers code?

[past forge]

okay thanks

ill try it :)

[vivid solstice]

if you get the game's code and then go into card.lua you should be able to find it (id use the search function in your platform when looking for four fingers)

[old bane]

i think the way four_fingers works is it is a core part of the functions that calculate if a hand is a flush (or a straight), so you should try looking at common_events.lua as well

[past forge]

i think is this one

just because in card.lua i think four fingers doesnt even have variables

yep

thats the only time four fingers shows in card.lua

[surreal kernel]

Seems to be in misc_functions.lua

[hardy viper]

four fingers is implemented in get_straight

which smods overwrites

so just look at the smods version

or don't tbh

might be more understandable in vanilla

more applicable in smods

whatever suits you

[past forge]

hehe

suits

okey

now is there a way to check if all the three cards that take part on this three of a card are of the same suit?

[red osprey]

Is there a way to differentiate cards in the collection display from actual cards in the set_ability method?

[past forge]

the three of a card is inside a Full house so checking if there are three cards of the same suit wont work

[surreal kernel]

Trying to do a joker that allows you to do flush 2, should I look at smods straight anyway?

[past forge]

two fingers? 🤨

[vivid solstice]

theres an example mod that shows how to add a new hand, maybe that could help?
link: https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/RoyalFlush

[surreal kernel]

But that would make it a new hand that wouldn't level with flush right?

[past forge]

i guess the four fingers should what youre looking for, so take a look to the misc.functions.lua there

or anything related to four fingers

yeah spanish keyboards are like wildly different from american ones when it comes to special characters and stuff

also i think mullet was the right call so thx

added a J tattoo for good measure

[violet void]

Looks like Perkeo kinda

[spring lantern]

oh my god it's perkeo's long lost cousin

you're so right

[past forge]

he looks exactly as my roommate

[tepid crow]

oh hey, German keyboards also seem to have that

[spring lantern]

bet he's chill

[past forge]

French keyboards also, so i guess is an european standard

[violet void]

ye

[past forge]

and also

americans ☕

[violet void]

also the tilde

why

[edgy mountain]

could someone help me with something?
i wanted to make consumables free in the shop but the game's code isnt really helping me understand how it would work

[violet void]

Did you check Astronomer's code

[vivid solstice]

can anyone tell me how to make it so that when you use a tarot card the cards that get selected turn into a certain suit
as in hearts change from one suit to another and clubs change to a different one

[vivid solstice]

where is that in the github?

[surreal kernel]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'envido',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Envido',
        text = {
            'You can play {C:attention}flush{} with {C:attention}2{} cards. ',
            'If doing so, add {X:mult}Mult{} equal to',
            '{X:mult}#1#{} + sum of ranks',
            'of numbered cards in scoring hand.'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'BarajaEspaniolaJokers',
    pos = {
        x = 0,
        y = 0
    },
    rarity = 1,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    cost = 6,
    config = { extra = { mult = 20, hand_type = 'Flush'} },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, localize(card.ability.extra.hand_type, 'poker_hands') } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main and next(context.poker_hands[card.ability.extra.hand_type]) then
            if context.other_card:is_numbered() then
                return {
                    mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult + context.card:get_id(),
                    card = context.other_card
                }
            end
        end
    end,
}

I've got this, getting this crash when playing a flush

[vague pendant]

is it possible to read what badges a card has?

[past forge]

Im trying to do a joker that gives you money at the end of the round, but just found this on the source code, i dont know where or what it references to

[vivid solstice]

would this code be correct?
use(SMODS.change_base('Hearts','Flowers'),('Clubs','Drinks'),('Diamonds','Stars'),('Spades','Shovels'),('Flowers','Hearts'),('Drinks','Clubs'),('Stars','Diamonds'),('Shovels','Spades'))

[tepid crow]

wtf is use

[vivid solstice]

?

[vague pendant]

consumables xD

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

[tepid crow]

that's not something you should be calling (in most cases, unless you know what you're doing), that's something you should be defining

e.g. like this https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/EditionExamples/EditionExamples.lua#L42

[frosty dock]

not to say that this isn't valid syntax and I'm not sure I get what you even think SMODS.change_base does

[tepid crow]

I mean there are some fundamental misunderstandings going on here

[vivid solstice]

maybe giving an example would help explain what im trying to do here
like if you used the card on a spade, a heart and a club, each of them would turn into a diffeent suit from the same card

[vague pendant]

use = function(self, card area, copier)
  -- Get highlighted cards
  for _, c in highlighted_cards do
    assert(SMODS.change_base(c, "Hearts", nil))
  end
end

^example of usage

[vivid solstice]

wouldnt that change all the cards to hearts? or am i misunderstanding

[frosty dock]

well for starters highlighted_cards doesn't exist here

[vague pendant]

yeah

[frosty dock]

you'd want something like G.hand.highlighted

[vague pendant]

I'm too lazy to find how to get highlighted cards

[frosty dock]

also you need to wrap that in ipairs because lua

[vague pendant]

u right there. def meant to :P

[vivid solstice]

?

my code says otherwise
use = function(self, card area, copier)

[fading pier]

my friend is helping me out with the art for my mod. Any thoughts on which one for these 3. I like the white border the most. Joker name - "Devil's Machine" in a reference to earthbound

[manic rune]

card_area

[main mica]

What's the target path if I want to patch smods /src luas?

And also, do the smods scripts run before the lovely patches? what's the order of operations?

[edgy mountain]

well this is the code

if (self.ability.set == 'Planet' or (self.ability.set == 'Booster' and self.ability.name:find('Celestial'))) and #find_joker('Astronomer') > 0 then self.cost = 0 end

the cards itself check for astronomer, not the reverse

so i dont know how to reference the cards in the shop in code i guess is my problem

[tepid crow]

what "reverse" are you looking for? 🤔

[tepid crow]

it's target = '=[SMODS _ "smods_rel_path"]' iirc

lovely always goes first

[past forge]

never learned what ipairs is

[main mica]

THANK YOU!! awesome B)

[edgy mountain]

i mean the shop cards are the ones checking for astronomer and adjusting their price accordingly right?

[tepid crow]

cards in general but yes

[edgy mountain]

i just needed to know what specifically i need to use to reference them in code

[manic rune]

you should check edition tags

[stiff locust]

how do you do info_queue for a modded seal again

[manic rune]

they change the cost of jokers to 0, so i believe that should help

[tepid crow]

Alright let's go back a bit. What are you actually trying to do?

[stiff locust]

this is inside the function for setting card costs

[edgy mountain]

have a joker set costs of consumables and boosters to 0

[tepid crow]

so what's the issue with doing that in the same way astronomer does

[stiff locust]

yeah you can hook the function astronomer does it inside and do it there

line 359 in card.lua has the function card:set_cost() which is where the astronomer functionality is

[edgy mountain]

i guess im confused by the use of self there?

[stiff locust]

if (self.ability.set == 'Planet' or (self.ability.set == 'Booster' and self.ability.name:find('Celestial'))) and #find_joker('Astronomer') > 0 then self.cost = 0 end
im pretty sure this is the entire code for that

[tepid crow]

self is the card itself (in the shop)

[edgy mountain]

who actually calls the function set_cost?

[stiff locust]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

if it works for astronomer it'll work for you

[red flower]

it gets called in a couple of places when modifying a card i think, to recalculate how much it costs

[stiff locust]

yeah it accounts for editions and stuff

[red flower]

I made a couple of jokers that sets price to free and I just hooked card:set_cost and put self.cost to 0

[tepid crow]

gets called in a lot of random places, but the important one is this one:

function Card:add_to_deck(from_debuff)
        ...
        if self.ability.name == 'Astronomer' then 
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
                for k, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do
                    if v.set_cost then v:set_cost() end
                end
                return true end }))
        ...

so just have an add_to_deck defined that does that
(oh and also in remove_from_deck)*

[edgy mountain]

iss it a problem that the discount isnt permanent? like it has limited uses?

cause the number has to change for mine

it isnt a permanent rule

[tepid crow]

what does that mean

[past forge]

why does the print in 229 gives me the amount of cards scoring instead of the rank of each card scored

[manic rune]

:get_id()

i think you use that to get the rank

[past forge]

I guess it goes from 2 to 14?

[edgy mountain]

basically at the start you have one free purchase. when you buy something, it is spent.
you regain one purchase every blind (and as a chance when buying anything)

[manic rune]

i think so, yeah

[past forge]

okay, thanks

[red flower]

oh if the first thing you buy is free then you might need to hook buy_from_shop

[stiff locust]

couldn't it just use the buying_card context

[tepid crow]

could give you the money back on purchasing a card context

[edgy mountain]

i guess, though i would prefer if it appeared as costing 0

[tepid crow]

could also set all cards money to 0 normally and reset back to normal on purchase-card context

[edgy mountain]

well, it has to be specifically consumables and boosters.
thats why i wanted to be able to reference the specific shop cards

[red flower]

the buying_card context seems to be called before spending the money so you could do
card.cost = 0

[tepid crow]

you'd set the money in :set_cost and check if it is a consumables/boosters, if your joker is present, and whether it's "active"

[manic rune]

(aka not debuffed)

[past forge]

should it go like this? the game crashes when i play a card

[red flower]

it needs the colon, not .

[past forge]

oh, okay thanks :)

[stiff locust]

bump

[red flower]

does G.P_SEALS['seal_key'] work?

[stray warren]

That should work

[red flower]

or maybe this badge to key thing

[stiff locust]

no

[past forge]

How do i make a joker to jiggle?

i know is probably a very dumb question

[hushed field]

I think that's all done with juice_up!

[past forge]

ill elaborate the question a little bit more, so i got the line of code juice_card_until(self, eval, true) from the trading card, how do i set the eval to make it stop jiggling?

[tepid crow]

do you want it to jiggle until a condition or do you just want it to jiggle once

[past forge]

until a condition

[tepid crow]

eval should be a function, make it return false (I think false? might also be true tbh) to stop jiggling

[modern kindle]

where can i see where planet cards are working? i was trying to search up earth as an example but couldnt seem to find it

[hushed field]

the information's all in game.lua. Line 559 for earth.

[modern kindle]

affirm, thanks

[past forge]

ive tried a lot of things but the card doesnt want to juice

should it be self instead of card?

ill try

[tepid crow]

like I said, a function; you're just passing it a boolean

[past forge]

so this?

[normal crest]

function() return whatever end

[past forge]

okay

[paper zealot]

Something along the lines of

local eval = function() return card.ability.extra.ready and not G.RESET_JIGGLES end
juice_card_until(card, eval, true)

[past forge]

i see

[main mica]

Double checked, this is what other people were instructed to use in the past, but it crashes?!

[past forge]

ill try to work with that

[sturdy compass]

Mmmmmmm that's the good stuff

[tepid crow]

make sure you're using 0.7.1?

[gaunt thistle]

^

update

[main mica]

Alright, gotcha

[gaunt thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/plink-cat-plink-cat-gif-1794292671885121408

[paper zealot]

Check my example again, i had the result backwards, should be right now. juice_card_until should really be named juice_card_while. It will juice until eval returns false

[tepid crow]

that's a way better name yeah

[wintry solar]

yeah I assumed it juiced until the function returned true at first

[red flower]

same

[scarlet spire]

is there a way to make a card trigger as if it was played in the current hand, even when it wasn't? (via a seal applied to that card)

like how steel cards trigger, but instead of X1.5 mult, it's the values of the card itself, including enhancements and editions and such

[past forge]

well...

[paper zealot]

Ah, it's not a class function, my bad.

local eval = function() return card.ability.extra.ready and not G.RESET_JIGGLES end
juice_card_until(card, eval, true)

[past forge]

I know its right because i was looking the code for the loyalty card and it does exactly the same

but it doesnt work for me

one question, why card and not self?

[fallen vigil]

why does this return 3 when i play a 10 instead of 1

[normal crest]

because you haven't specified a context

You're just checking the cardarea

[fallen vigil]

what context could i use to make it only check once

[past forge]

you sould specificate context.before probably

[paper zealot]

Depends where you're calling it from. If you're within the card class, then self refers to the card table object, and you should use that. Otherwise i assumed the card you're working with is card, since you had that in your code

[normal crest]

Any, just depends on when you want it to happen

[normal crest]

It is happening 3 times because G.play is passed as a cardarea to multiple different contexts

[past forge]

Then card should be right, but it does juice up lol

[normal crest]

And since you're not filtering one, it's executing for all three

[fallen vigil]

is it like checking before during and after

[past forge]

something like that

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

you can check the contexts here

[normal crest]

context.before and context.after are two of them

Before is before hand is scored, after is after

[fallen vigil]

i know i have it open i just dont know how to use it sometimes

thank you for the help

[past forge]

it depends on what you want to do

if you want the ability to scale before the joker triggers, use context.before, if you want it to scale after, use context.after

[dire palm]

Is there a way to make the game recalculate the scoring hand during context.before?

My joker turns non-scoring cards into Stone cards and I wonder if I can make them score too.

[past forge]

i dont know if they can score, but you could add 50 chips for each stone card held in hand after the jokers transforms the card

[modern kindle]

ive got most of my shit workin, but when a planet card levels up, how does it display that on the ui? i cant seem to make the ui reflect the levelling changes

is itt he generate ui im looking for in the smods api?

[dire palm]

I guess that could be a good workaround until I learn more about lovely patches. 🤔

[past forge]

Im trying to do a joker that gives you money at the end of the round, but just found this on the source code, i dont know where or what it references to

i dont even now what context to use, because i guess context.end_of_round if for before the cashout tab appears

[vivid solstice]

huh, there is an example mod with an end of round money joker in there if i can find the link so that should help

found it

[main mica]

Trying to have a global variable referencing a specific card, but if I quit to main menu and come back the variable messes up to the the card now being "gone" per se, what's the proper way to reference a specific card?

[random sleet]

youll have to save it to the save file

and then somehow figure out which card it was again on load

[main mica]

Hmph, alright, thank you!

[random sleet]

id recommend using a variable on the card itself

[main mica]

!

[chrome prawn]

I've been trying to make this work for a while can someone please help me?

[main mica]

Great idea! thank you!

[random sleet]

and then modifying the Card:save() and Card:load() functions to keep that marker

[main mica]

Nice ^^

[random sleet]

(if needed, depends how you do it)

[main mica]

Can't I just put it in it's ability?

[random sleet]

probably*

[old bane]

does find_joker() find a joker by key or by name

[normal crest]

Use SMODS.find_card instead

And they look by key (correction: find_joker doesn't look by key)

[open aspen]

are there any more structured guides for how to create a simple mod from scratch

im finding the steammodded documentation hard to find my way around

[old bane]

ah i see. but also if i'm injecting things into the game via lovely should i just find_joker() then?

cause rn i'm trying to make it so that when a certain joker is present glass cards do not shatter at all

[normal crest]

no, don't use find_joker

[old bane]

okay

okay for some reason my lovely patch isn't finding the line i want to inject into even though i literally copied it from the file >_<

[tepid crow]

make sure you're basing the patch on the dump

[normal crest]

Mods/lovely/dump

[old bane]

would i be able to do a lovely patch on SMODS? because SMODS overrides how the game normally calculates which glass cards to shatter and puts it in a different file

[fervent comet]

ahoy just wondering if it would be possible to create a joker that destroys the joker to the right even if its placed in the last joker slot

so it would wrap around, destroying the first joker

[old bane]

I also can't just do the trick like:

local function_ref = function_name
function function_name()

because it's not something that just comes after

[scarlet spire]

any ideas on this? I've been attempting a patch but nothing has worked so far

[normal crest]

You can do lovely patches to smods since lovely 0.7.1

I don't know the specifics tho

[vivid solstice]

id recomend taking a look at the stone card code (wherever it may be) from the base game

[normal crest]

Apparently it's this #💻・modding-dev message

[scarlet spire]

I don't mean scoring when it should be unscoring like a stone card, I mean scoring if you even have it in your hand, like a steel card (except instead of a specific X1.5 mult, it's just whatever the card is)

the brute force method is to just grab every possible variable from the card the seal belongs to and return it under if context.cardarea == G.hand and context.main_scoring but I really don't want to have to manually tell it what to do for every single enhancement

[vivid solstice]

id look at shoot the moon's code then, use that as a template alongside baron and steal cards

the queen +13 mult joker

[runic pecan]

How to decide if a string should be k_ or ph_ in localization file?

[scarlet spire]

these are extremely different, they're just looking for specific ranks in your hand and giving +13/X1.5 mult when they're calculated
the issue I'm trying to figure out is how to make a card calculating from your hand have the same effect it would when being played

[vivid solstice]

seems like you would have to make a whole new event for that which im not very experienced at,
but you should find something in the steammodded github guides

[tepid crow]

Great question actually, I wonder the same thing. My best guess is that k_ is for joker popups etc while ph_ is more for general text (and b_ is for buttons)?

[runic pecan]

And which one do I put in joker desc?
Wait.
Omg. I could just make it like the changing suit/rank in vanilla.

[chrome prawn]

does anyone know how I would get the value for the amount of a specific type of suit in your deck?

e.c. like the amount of hearts in your deck

[tepid crow]

Wdym put in joker desc?

[snow valve]

I want to reference this global variable but can't find what class it belongs to to put in place of ".C." if anyone knows off the top of their head that would be wonderful

[runic pecan]

I have a joker that would create either a "Full Moon" (Moon tarot card) or a "New Moon" (Negative Moon tarot card) depending on situation.

[tepid crow]

You'd just use loc vars and give the localized key in there right?

[runic pecan]

Yep. I haven't set up their localized terms yet, though.
_phase will be change to localize("[prefix]_"..card.ability.extra.phase)
And the problem I currently have is what this prefix should be.

[bitter gazelle]

why does my game crash whenever i try to add my modded joker? the joker preview in the mod menu looks fine, and adding the vanila jokers work too.

[runic pecan]

Have you tried SMODS.add_card?
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility

[normal crest]

you can do SMODS.add_card { key = 'j_para_the_train' }

[normal crest]

Without a crash log we don't know what the issue is tho

[sturdy compass]

This guy was fun to test

[bitter gazelle]

alr here

[normal crest]

did you forget to save your file after modifying it

the crash log mentions add_card which you didn't use

[bitter gazelle]

i did save it

[normal crest]

this code can't cause that crash then

[bitter gazelle]

oh wait its add_card not SMODS.add_card

[runic pecan]

So you coded add_joker, yet the game thought you called add_card...

[bitter gazelle]

hold on brb

[normal crest]

no, it's SMODS.add_card

did you accidentally use add_card by itself

[bitter gazelle]

yeah

changed it back

im so dumb bro

[old bane]

finally got the legendaries to pop out :D

[runic pecan]

bump

[runic pecan]

This?

[snow valve]

I was just trying to figure out the correct syntax to reference the global variable in my files (sometimes it's G.JOKER, sometimes it's G.C. etc...) but I figured it out

Just called a different context that does the same thing

[glad osprey]

how does oops affect this

[nova finch]

Is there a way to make a joker that can toggle between two different sprites?

[runic pecan]

Depends on how you want to trigger it to happen.

[sturdy compass]

It doesn't, that'd be dumb

[runic pecan]

Changing sprite method:

[nova finch]

I want it to have a chance to go to one sprite or the other every small blind

[runic pecan]

That'll be easy. if context.setting_blind and G.GAME.blind:get_type() == 'Small' then

[stiff locust]

alright chat how do I add permanent +mult/xmult/xchips to playing cards

i remember it requiring a lovely patch and some other stuff

but I don't know how to do this in a way that doesn't conflict with other mods
-# i mean i don't know how to do it in general

[red flower]

maybe this can help?

[lavish latch]

how hard is modding this game? i wanna add in GUI's to replace the current system of sliding cards

[gaunt thistle]

modding isn't that hard but UI mods are

the UI system in the game takes time to wrap your head around

[marble flint]

UIs are a PITA to implement just in general, not only in balatro

[lavish latch]

still gonna be worth it since me and my friend keep ending up with 40+ jokers and i normally end up with ~200 during my modded runs

[marble flint]

Check out Cartomancer, which might cover what you need

[lavish latch]

its also to give me something to do while someone else is working on that performance uncap mod

[marble flint]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1258438028800692224

[lavish latch]

tho tbh i think making a game that works in lua in the first place was an interesting decision

[marble flint]

it's a very good decision for something like this

rapid prototyping is one of the most valuable things you can do, along with staying flexible for future changes

löve2d does that fantastically

[wooden nexus]

Hey, does anyone know how to make a deck load multiple of the same card?

                            mult = G.GAME
                                .hands[_hand].mult,
                            level = G.GAME.hands[_hand].level
                        })
                    level_up_hand(context.blueprint_card or card, _hand, nil, 1)
                    update_hand_text({ sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 1.1, delay = 0 },
                        { mult = 0, chips = 0, handname = '', level = '' })

_hand is the hand you're levelling up

try that

this also includes whatever it is that actually levels up the hand

[old bane]

if only

[stiff locust]

I have no idea how any of this works, but it works

[modern kindle]

Much obliged, I'll test it soon, laid down for the day
Thanks a ton for your assistance

[old bane]

also how do i make stickers not like be tiny asf and determine their location

[stiff locust]

they're sprites

wait stickers not seals

uhhh

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sturdy compass]

How would I check if the boss blind is a showdown boss? I've tried this method but no dice

[stiff locust]

just check if the ante number is divisible by 8

unless you're using bonus blinds, they only appear on intervals of 8 antes

[sturdy compass]

Wouldn't work after a hieroglyph/petroglyph

[stiff locust]

yeah not really

it'd be great to just have it be a dependency and have that be the end of it

but amm has a bunch of other extra stuff that i don't want

it'd be nice to have a library mod that literally just adds perma bonus mult, xmult, xchips and nothing else

[tall wharf]

the trustable jimbo koopa:

[plush cove]

as my own little nugget of info, I use a lot of functions from JenLib (a dependency for Jen's Almanac), but i dont have it as a dependency. I just borrowed a few of its functions

[edgy reef]

Kinda wish people remembered that libraries exist, so many libraries are created as SMODS mods when they really have no reason to.

[stiff locust]

i feel like i dont undestand what library means in the context that it's not a "library mod" and is instead a "library"

whatever it is, it'd be nice to have a library that does that

or for smods to just have it

if that doesn't exist already can someone do it

[plush cove]

heya, what would be the best way to make a Joker where if you sell it, all probabilities are guaranteed for the rest of the round?

[random sleet]

hey can you elaborate on what the hell this means thanks

also wouldnt it be swell if i could add things to smods

but thats not the world we live in

so tough luck

i guess i could try to set something up like smods' optional settings for amm

that way it disables irrelevant parts of the mod

which is all of it lmao

[frosty dock]

what do you mean by this

[plush cove]

update: I think I figured it out. I used a patch to add a variable called "rig_all_probs" and then I used a hook to add a separate function that makes that variable false at the end of the round

[paper zealot]

what this mean

[frosty dock]

[normal crest]

Can you add the mod badge to stickers

Nvm I got it

Weird that it's not a thing in smods

[crisp coral]

G.P_BLINDS

[sturdy compass]

[fallen vigil]

i want blueprints to also set redox to +1 how would i do that

[rose dragon]

does this need rebalancing?

[red osprey]

That's something only testing can tell I think

The concept is very cool though, and you have two easy levers to pull to make this more or less powerful

[rose dragon]

i made a few changes to it to combat skipping

[red osprey]

Hmm

Not sure I like it but I understand why it's there

[paper zealot]

Skipping blinds already comes with pretty major cost penalties, -3 might be too much

[maiden phoenix]

Oops

[rose dragon]

I was thinking of changing it to only 1 or 2 since skipping both blinds without upgrading discards/hands leaves you with only one discard

[red osprey]

Could only take away hands and leave discards alone

[rose dragon]

"double-skipping" now gives you the default hand & discard count.

[random sleet]

my code is too low quality for smods standards

[past forge]

if youre code is low quality I dont know whats mine

I just have a lot of SMODS.joker tables and like 3 hooks

[opal spade]

tbh now that better calc is out i feel kinda stupid trying to unify joker/playing card calcs before better calc

better calc makes everything so much easier

[prisma loom]

Fixed! :D

[wintry solar]

missiung an =

[spring lantern]

only one item left in the todo list...

[past forge]

Im having issues with the timing and the flipping of the cards, what are the ingame delays??

[cerulean rose]

check basegame tarot cards

[spring lantern]

had an idea to make it more unique and less of a baron copy

[lavish lake]

Also, does anybody know how to test out your mod jokers in a run without having to go through the trouble of actually finding it?

[spring lantern]

debug mode -> go to collection -> press 3 on a joker to spawn it

also seeing this was like dear god

[past forge]

Install the mod debug plus

[past forge]

i also have too many jokers that gives me this menu

[spring lantern]

huh didn't know about too many jokers

[past forge]

You just press "T" to show the menu, search for the card (consumables too) and while hovering press C to spawn it

i dont even need to go to the collection

[lavish lake]

Why is it showing +nil though? It's supposed to show +10 mult

[past forge]

vars

[lavish lake]

There is a variable

[past forge]

you wrote #10# instead of #1#

[lavish lake]

Oh

[past forge]

Is there somewhere a list of all localize messages?

[random sleet]

Balatro.exe/localization/en-us.lua

[red osprey]

Random idea:

Giant (Common) - +30 Mult, but takes 2 Joker slots

[past forge]

very powerful early game

i like it

[red osprey]

Obviously, but I think that's fine considering a lot of flat mult jokers are

I could bump it to uncommon

Negative Giant would just be regular size which is funny

[past forge]

lol

new edition: double negative

but it really does nothing because negative*negative = positive

[red osprey]

Yeah

[lavish lake]

@red osprey I see you can make joker ideas, can you think of an idea for the modded joker called 'B'? I'm making an alphabet jokers mod and I need your input

[red osprey]

That's not a very inspiring prompt tbh

[past forge]

Why is the message not showing up? Im also open to suggestion to what to put in the message

[red osprey]

You're returning inside an event

Put the last return outside the event

[past forge]

but the joker juices up

i dont see why the message wont show

[red osprey]

Yes, because you're calling juice_up in the event

The message is managed in SMODS by the return of the calculate function

[past forge]

oh okay

[red osprey]

Keep the juice_up in the event, and put

return {
  message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')
}

at the end of the calculate function

[past forge]

so message must be in return

[red osprey]

You can do it manually but it's best to handle it like this yes

[past forge]

inside it?

[red osprey]

Yes

You're defining the return of calculate to return the message

[past forge]

okay

[red osprey]

Events define new functions, so if you use return in those, you'll only return from the event callback, and not the wider calculate (because they're called later)

[past forge]

i guess it shouldnt do this

[red osprey]

That's from the return?

[past forge]

yes

maybe from the juicing

let me try a couple thing

[lavish lake]

Also, does anybody know how to check when an uncommon joker is triggered and how to retrigger it?

[past forge]

i would say check baseball jokers code

[red osprey]

Maybe something with this

[edgy mountain]

im still struggling with my code
i need to get the cards in the shop, check if they are consumables and if so set their cost to 0

[red osprey]

Look at the code for Astronomer

If you don't know where, unzip Balatro.exe in your Steam folder, and it should contain a bunch of Lua files. Open that unzipped folder in VSCode and use the search function to explore

[past forge]

Le Codex would be a top teacher fr

[red osprey]

Stealing code is a very good method when doing stuff already done elsewhere

(As long as you understand what you're stealing to modify it)

[edgy mountain]

i know, i already did, but the problem is astronomer does the check when it is added

mine isnt a permanent effect

it needs to be able to be turned on and off

based on a variable

[red osprey]

What is the exact functionality you're lookign for?
Write out the ability

[vivid solstice]

im trying to make it so that the new suits arent added into every deck but ti keeps crashing
here's my code local function allow_suits(self) = false end

[red osprey]

That's not valid Lua

[edgy mountain]

joker: you have [variable] free consumable purchases. Gain one at the end of every blind

[red osprey]

If you want a function that returns false you need to use return false instead of = false

[lavish lake]

Let me just make that into my mod rq

[red osprey]

I don't know if replacing prices upon being bought is something Balatro supports

So I guess the cleanest way would be to refund the money when that happens

But then you wouldn't be able to buy them if you are broke

[edgy mountain]

yeah, someone suggested that

i guess ill just do that

now i just need to figure out that

[red osprey]

The buy event probably happens after the item has been bought, so you'd need some kind of event that triggers either when the card is selected or right before the buy happens

Could be added fairly easily with a patch or hook into whatever function handles that

[edgy mountain]

guess ill learn lovely patching now

[past forge]

Is this even a thing?

[red osprey]

^

[past forge]

love how i just freestyle it

thanks

[chrome prawn]

Does anyone know how I would make it so that a custom poker hand looks for one specific card

[lavish lake]

Guys how do I look at the code for jokers in the vanilla game?

[chrome prawn]

like for example how would you make it only activate if I have an Ace selected

[red osprey]

@lavish lake

[past forge]

loop through the hand and use the key of the card

[chrome prawn]

can you show a picture of that?

[past forge]

card_key would be the specific card (doesnt look for enhancements, seals or editions)

[frosty dock]

there's two things here that aren't things

G.full_deck isn't a thing, it's G.playing_cards

the enhancement check should look like SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_stone')

[lavish lake]

Ok I see that the way the checking if the joker is uncommon thing works, but how do I retrigger?

[red osprey]

Return an object with repetitions = <number of retriggers you want>

Might need to be in context.repetition

[past forge]

Is playing_cards checking also the cards in my hand?

[lavish lake]

I need to check if the code is correct first.
Is it?

calculate = function (self, card, context)
        if context.other_joker.config.center.rarity == 2 and self ~= context.other_joker then
            if pseudorandom('letter_b') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
                
            end
        end
end

[vivid solstice]

the game keeps crashing and saying i need to add a "do" near the "in" in my code but I alreagy have one

            assert(SMODS.change_base(c,'Flowers', nil))
            end```

[frosty dock]

it's your full deck

all the playing cards you have

[frosty dock]

wtf are you doing with that for loop

what is name = 'Hearts' doing here

[lavish lake]

You might wanna script in Roblox Studio some more first...

[frosty dock]

I'm not even sure what you're trying to do tbh

[vivid solstice]

im checking for hearts in the played hand and changing them to flowers

[frosty dock]

change all selected cards to flowers? change all selected hearts to flowers? something else entirely?

[frosty dock]

then you need a for loop and an if statement to check if the card is hearts

[manic rune]

nah but genuinely, having experience in roblox studio beforehand helped me with modding a lot 💀

[lavish lake]

@frosty dock

[lavish lake]

I wasn't joking, helped me too

[manic rune]

uhh im pretty sure you got the language wrong as a whole

[past forge]

its operating in some weird way for me

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'great_wall',
    subtitle = "Art and idea by Toyrapple",
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'The Great Wall',
        text = {
            "Gives {C:mult}+#2# {} Mult for",
            "each {C:gold}Stone card{}",
            "in your {C:gold}full deck{}",
            "{C:inactive}(Currently {C:mult}+#1# {C:inactive}Mult)"
        }
    },
    config = { extra = { mult = 0, mult_scaling = 2 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.mult_scaling } }
    end,
    rarity = 1,
    atlas = 'ToyrappleCollection',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 1 },
    cost = 2,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
    
        card.ability.extra.mult = 0

        for k, v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
            if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_stone') then
                card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_scaling
            end
        end

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

[manic rune]

for index,value in pairs(table) do (sometimes it can be ipairs too)
...
end

for index = 1,10 do
...
end

thats how most for loops should look like

[frosty dock]

it should look more like this

for i, c in ipairs(G.hand.highlighted) do
  if c:is_suit('Hearts') then -- is this card a heart?
    assert(SMODS.change_base(c, 'prefix_Flowers', nil)) -- change prefix to your mod's prefix
  end
end

[lavish lake]

help a buddy out

[frosty dock]

why are you counting cards in every context?

[manic rune]

shouldnt it be like, G.deck or something?

[frosty dock]

you can move that into context.joker_main and additionally do the counting in loc_vars

[manic rune]

i dont think G.playing_cards is correct honestly

[past forge]

so the currently mult changes no matter where you are?

[frosty dock]

it doesn't need to do that

[past forge]

calculating in loc_vars scares me /jk

[frosty dock]

you need to count in loc_vars so it gets updated when you look at the description

[manic rune]

card ~= context.other_joker, not self, im pretty sure

[frosty dock]

other than that, you only need it in joker_main

[frosty dock]

[manic rune]

oof

[frosty dock]

G.playing_cards is all playing cards you have (your full deck)

[manic rune]

ohh

[frosty dock]

G.deck only has the cards that are physically in your deck pile right now

[past forge]

like putting the loop in loc_vars?

[frosty dock]

yeah, putting this block before the return statement in your loc_vars

[manic rune]

no, basically, if you have a variable in loc_vars, then loc_txt's representation of that variable will be automatically updated if the value of that changed too

or wait, u can actually put a loop in loc_vars itself?

[past forge]

honestly, i didnt knew i could do that

[manic rune]

😭 i thought loc_vars is not a loop, you tell it what variable to check then it will update if that changes

[past forge]

thank you Mr smods

[frosty dock]

sorry this chat is a bit full rn

[frosty dock]

the outer condition has a few issues

[manic rune]

istg im learning everything just reading this channel 💀

[past forge]

x2

[frosty dock]

you need to check if context.other_joker exists before doing any logic on it, and self is the wrong table to compare against

if context.other_joker and context.other_joker.config.center.rarity == 2 and context.other_joker ~= card then

[manic rune]

is it context.other_joker or context.other_jokers for the second condition?

[frosty dock]

mb that's a typo, it's context.other_joker

silly me i should have seen that

[manic rune]

ah i see, gotta ask to make sure

[lavish lake]

Cool. I want the joker to retrigger the other joker. How do I do so?

[manic rune]

cryptid- 🗣️

[frosty dock]

whoops i didn't pick up the context for your question. that's a different context

if context.retrigger_joker_check and context.other_card.config.center.rarity == 2 and context.other_card ~= card then

you also need to put SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = { retrigger_joker = true } somewhere in top-level scope of your mod to enable it

[frosty dock]

and you'd want to return something like { repetitions = 1 }

[lavish lake]

so at the start of the code right?

[frosty dock]

wherever you want in your main file, just not inside anything else

[vivid solstice]

the deck code didnt work and the suits are still on a regular deck

    return false
end```

[frosty dock]

that's just a local function

how are you using it?

[lavish lake]

Ok so the code isn't working apparently...

[frosty dock]

what smods version are you using?

[lavish lake]

The one that gets installed along with cryptid

[frosty dock]

1304a?

there's your issue, that's 6 weeks out of date

[manic rune]

quick question, where do i check all of the optional features of smods?

just knew about the existence of that

and it seems really useful

[frosty dock]

with latest steamodded, you can use this branch of cryptid

[frosty dock]

{
  retrigger_joker = true,
  post_trigger = true,
  quantum_enhancements = true,
  cardareas = {
    deck = true,
    discard = true,
  },
}

i need to get that into the docs

[manic rune]

sweet, thanks

[past forge]

what the heck are quantum enhancements

[manic rune]

quantum science

[frosty dock]

cards being able to have multiple enhancements at the same time

[wintry swallow]

like polychrome wild card right

[manic rune]

thats neat

[past forge]

thats vanilla

[frosty dock]

no

[manic rune]

wait so, is there an example for the application of that?

[frosty dock]

polychrome is an edition

[past forge]

its more like polychrome negative

[manic rune]

its like, steel wild card

[stray wing]

what context checks would I want for increasing a card's mult after each hand is scored? I tried just context.after, which didn't work, and "context.after and context.scoring_hand" which also crashed

[frosty dock]

that would be quantum editions

[manic rune]

thats two editions 😭

[lavish lake]

I installed the latest version but it still doesnt work

[past forge]

I mean wild lucky card

😭

[manic rune]

nah but i get u man, i get editions and enhancements mixed up all the time 😭

[wintry swallow]

trolling worked

[frosty dock]

can i see the code again?

[manic rune]

or is it just, set_enhancement smt smt and it just works

[lavish lake]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "letter_b",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "B",
        text = {
            "{C:green}#1# in #2#{} chance to retrigger an uncommon joker,",
            "{C:attention}except this joker{}"
        }
    },
    config = { extra = { odds = 1 } },
    rarity = 2,
    atlas = "alphabet_atlas",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    loc_vars = function (self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = { (G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1), card.ability.extra.odds }
        }
    end,
    calculate = function (self, card, context)
        if context.other_joker then
            if context.retrigger_joker_check and context.other_card.config.center.rarity == 2 and context.other_card ~= card then
                if pseudorandom('letter_b') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
                    return { repetitions = 1 }
                end
            end 
        end
    end
}

This is for the joker

[frosty dock]

rn it only works with jokers via calculation

you just return a table with the enhancements to add as keys

[frosty dock]

you still have the other_joker

i told you it's a different context

[manic rune]

oh i see, thanks

[frosty dock]

just get rid of that outer if

[wintry swallow]

john sama i pushed a pr into smods wiki but not sure if its not pulled because its bad or not noticed

[frosty dock]

i need to setup a webhook for that repo, I'm not watching that one

I'll check it

[lavish lake]

You mean the second one?

[frosty dock]

no, the outer one

if context.other_joker then

other_joker and retrigger_joker_check are different contexts

[frosty dock]

looks good but I'm gonna remove this change because that information is not true

[lavish lake]

I did but the game crashed, do you know why?

[past forge]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)

        if context.before and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
            for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
                if context.scoring_hand[i].is_face() then
                    print("face card played")
                    card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.scaling_factor
                end
            end
        end

        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.xmult,
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult } }
            }
        end
    end

[wintry swallow]

i mean its technically true

[frosty dock]

context.scoring_hand[i]:is_face()

[past forge]

damn, the colon

[frosty dock]

a row/column node need not be long or contain multiple elements

[wintry swallow]

yeah but in the average case it'll be rod-y

its your decision either way

[bitter gazelle]

why isnt my jokers mult increasing

[manic rune]

you didnt return anything

[bitter gazelle]

okay actually thats fair was too sleepy to notice that

[manic rune]

nah its fine lol

[lavish lake]

@frosty dock

[manic rune]

thats weird

i did the same and it works for me

[lavish lake]

Maybe check your code compared to mine
SMODS.Joker {
key = "letter_b",
loc_txt = {
name = "B",
text = {
"{C:green}#1# in #2#{} chance to retrigger an uncommon joker,",
"{C:attention}except this joker{}"
}
},
config = { extra = { odds = 1 } },
rarity = 2,
atlas = "alphabet_atlas",
pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
loc_vars = function (self, info_queue, card)
return {
vars = { (G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1), card.ability.extra.odds }
}
end,
calculate = function (self, card, context)
if context.retrigger_joker_check and context.other_card.config.center.rarity == 2 and context.other_card ~= card then
if pseudorandom('letter_b') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
return { repetitions = 1 }
end
end

[manic rune]

hm

[dire palm]

Why do they still count as 3s?

[lavish lake]

I think it's because theres no underscore between the suit prefix and the rank suffix

[manic rune]

you know what, random guess, its probably because of the chance OR the rarity

try removing each to identify the error, i have no clue rn since im pretty new to modding myself

[fickle quail]

Right, kinda wanna learn to actually make a mod. Is there a simple quickstart guide & wiki I could use, or is it simple enough to just stare at other mods & the smods source 'til I've figured out how it works?

[lavish lake]

Nope, doesn't work

[frosty dock]

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

oops

[fickle quail]

lmao

ta

[manic rune]

dang, bro roasted my skills

😭

[manic rune]

weird

[frosty dock]

mb lmao

I just misclicked

[manic rune]

did you add this on top of everything?

[lavish lake]

@frosty dock why doesnt this work

[lavish lake]

ye

[long sun]

heyo! how do you create one of those little side info boxes?

[frosty dock]

I fucking hate talisman crashes

they tell you nothing useful

[long sun]

i'd like to do that for both enhancements and jokers

[lavish lake]

?

[frosty dock]

this crash is useless

[lavish lake]

what you talking about

talisman issue?

[frosty dock]

it's not a talisman issue, but talisman makes the crash screen be like that

[manic rune]

thought thats just me being bad at troubleshooting 💀

[stray wing]

I solved my problem I was being silly and evaluating context.after within context.joker_main

[past forge]

Why does this happens? they turn to stone but they are white while scoring

[lavish lake]

... i disabled talisman and the mod worked

[past forge]

what did obs do 😭

1 frame per sometimes

[frosty dock]

oh nvm I know this issue

it's a talisman bug, it requires a card in return tables where smods doesn't

[manic rune]

oh

[manic rune]

went from showing hand straight to cash out

crazy

😭

[lavish lake]

well how do i make the mod compatible for those who use talisman and are unaware of the issue?

[manic rune]

maybe try flipping the card first before turning it into a stone card?

its kinda unavoidable otherwise since stone cards wipe out the texture of the card before applying itself, i think

[frosty dock]

try adding card = card, to the return table
