im asking because i dont know 😭

the wiki doesnt specifies how to call the card that you want to add the seal to

[frosty dock]

you call SMODS.poll_seal, which returns you a string that is a seal key or nothing

you then put that seal key into card:set_seal(seal)

Also the docs clearly say the arguments are a single table

[past forge]

so like this?

[quasi comet]

i can't seem to get the full_hand to work ? i probably forgot something in there

[frosty dock]

I don't recall off the top of my head what the default rate for seals is

[bold sleet]

reply message

[fallen vigil]

will this work or am i missing anything

[frosty dock]

reply reply message

[frosty dock]

you're missing something

[fallen vigil]

well darn

[frosty dock]

the cards go in cards

[fallen vigil]

oh gotcha

[frosty dock]

the base rate is 2% from what I can tell, so you'd need like mod = 12.5

[past forge]

would that be modified with the oops! all sixes or the randomness is a different thing?

[frosty dock]

it's a different thing

if you want it to be affected by oops, you can use mod = 12.5*G.GAME.probabilities.normal

[fallen vigil]

is this right or am i still missing something/formatting wrong

[frosty dock]

I hate the formatting but seems good

[plush cove]

or with my mod's Weighted Dice ;)

[frosty dock]

ah yes

[fallen vigil]

i should put a random amount of spaces next to every line specifically to bother people who actually know how to code

[plush cove]

(I'm still trying to figure out the best way to guarantee all probabilities)

[frosty dock]

I mean this is your best bet

[past forge]

so isnt this supposed to be guaranteed to add a random enhancement to current??

its giving me this crash

[spring lantern]

wait a second

if repetitions = 1 does it just not retrigger

[frosty dock]

what's m_enhancement_default?

[spring lantern]

dammit not even sacrificing a jimbo to the twins fixes the issue

i am completely stumped

like this should be fine right

[past forge]

should it be options = default? or i just dont need to use it at all if i want all enhancements to have the possibility to be added

[frosty dock]

wait

[spring lantern]

wait

[frosty dock]

do you have the optional feature for joker retriggers enabled?

[spring lantern]

the what

[frosty dock]

you don't need to use it at all

[frosty dock]

joker retriggers are disabled by default because they're computsrionally expensive

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = { retrigger_joker = true }

[spring lantern]

is this a new thing

[past forge]

I tried that before and it also crashes

[spring lantern]

last time i tested this joker was on the really old build

[frosty dock]

yes

[spring lantern]

daym

thanks so much

will keep in mind for the future

[frosty dock]

show code again

that's for editions

[past forge]

thats the whole calculate

[frosty dock]

I'm on mobile

[past forge]

wait

[frosty dock]

can you please just send a screenshot

[spring lantern]

bit wonky with the ui effects but i think its working otherwise

[frosty dock]

[this is editions, which should mean enhancements no longer crash]

[past forge]

im trying to do a little bit complex effect here

but im getting everything right until the part where it has to add the modification

[frosty dock]

set_enhancement isn't real, and you're polling an enhancement to use as an edition

same for seals

[past forge]

copypasting my own code is going to kill me someday

[frosty dock]

you need to use poll_edition and SMODS.poll_seal respectively

the way you set an enhancement is current:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS[newMod])

[past forge]

so no add_edition?

[frosty dock]

I'm not talking about editions

enhancements, editions and seals are fundamentally different things

[past forge]

okay the enhancement is working now

[frosty dock]

Also the way you're checking for editions and seals existing is wrong

[spring lantern]

hoping this'll be less unbalanced

[frosty dock]

you just check for card.edition and card.seal respectively

[fallen vigil]

why does it only make jimbo 😭

[spring lantern]

well i messed up the reset message a bit LOL but it's working

[quasi comet]

How do you return how many cards are in the full hand?

[spring lantern]

jimbo is the default when the game doesn't recognize a joker or doesn't know what to spawn

so it's not reading the cards table properly i fear

[fallen vigil]

weird the individual jokers were working when i put the same keys into create_card

[timid star]

been staring at talisman and jens alamac code for a while now and can't seem to figure out how i could talk to talisman to be able to use stuff like e_mult for scoring calculations

[past forge]

why does poll_edition doesnt need the SMODS. at the start?

[vital rapids]

I've learned to not ask questions about why things work the way they do, they just work

[past forge]

lol

true

[lavish lake]

Asking the owners is too hard

[paper zealot]

os.date() returns a string of the date or time formatted according to the format string, the first argument.
Documented here: https://www.lua.org/pil/22.1.html
os.date('%H:%M') would return 20:57, for example.
os.date('%x') would give you the full date formatted according to the system locale, something like 15/2/2025 or 2025-2-15. This will change if users change their locale or date preferences on their system.
os.date('%d') would give you just the day of the month, 15. I'd probably compare that to check if the date has changed.

[past forge]

i dont even know why this happens

[normal crest]

can you send a screenshot

[safe token]

Wheres can i find this file?

[past forge]

this is my code, but the crash happens in balatro's code (misc_functions) doesnt even try to concat at line 338

[night pagoda]

This screenshot is from my mod

it's not from vanilla

[safe token]

i need about glass card, rn i trying make my own enhancement, its almost like glass card

[fallen vigil]

why isnt my pool working

[safe token]

i cant apply destroy card to my enhancement

idk how

[normal crest]

I don't think poll_edition takes a table

[past forge]

this is the wiki

[normal crest]

yeah that doesn't say it takes a table

just tells you what each argument is

[past forge]

so just newMod = poll_edition ?

[normal crest]

no, it's a function with 5 parameters

[past forge]

im sorry, what does that mean?

[normal crest]

you need to call the function and pass the values you need in the order its mentioned here

[past forge]

like this?

[normal crest]

Use parenthesis instead of curly brackets

[past forge]

nicee

thanks

now ill try to do the seals

oh wait tha seals already work

:D

Now i just need to make it so this happens 1 in 4 times

is there a function for that so its compatible with oops all sixes?

[normal crest]

Not a function, but you can take a look at any chance joker in the base game code

Like bloodstone

[past forge]

im currently looking at gros michel code

[normal crest]

if you see G.GAME.probabilities then that line is the one making the random chance

[past forge]

done :)

[fallen vigil]

how do i raise the blind score requirements

[prisma loom]

What can be causing this?

\

[modern kindle]

i had something similar, try this in pokerhand instead of text

    name = "5 Stone Cards",
    description = {
        "A hand consisting of six cards that",
        "all share the stone enhancement."
    }
},```

change the text to whatever you want obviously

[prisma loom]

instead of example = {} ?

oh wait

[modern kindle]

no, instead of text =

[prisma loom]

I see

[prisma loom]

worked like a chram tho the UI still depicts five copies of 2 of Spades

[past forge]

I want to add some delay before the enhancement is added because right now is added instantly as you press "play hand" instead of when the jokers activate

[plush cove]

i dont know if Balatro was coded with enhancements in mind for the hand example UI

[prisma loom]

ig so

[balmy sphinx]

So in the SMODS documentation ive seen the function of
update(self, card, dt)
Would it be possible to write a function that makes it so when certain parameters are met the cards update?
Say i want to update the texture of a card when a card gets powered up enough. Like make the vampire's card gain a blood moon behind them when it hits X3.

Is that possible to do using either Malverk or SMODS current systems?

[modern kindle]

if youre just trying to update the texture of the card you can do

          if card.children and card.children.center then
              card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({ x = desiredx, y = desiredy })
          else
              print("Error: Unable to update texture.")
          end```

ive got that thrown in my calculate and it updates the texture properly utilizing my same atlas as the prev texture

[balmy sphinx]

Hmm not gonna lie, im a little lost with that. Do you have any of the wiki pages related to that i can read up on more?

[past forge]

is there a way to change an specific probability?? e.g glass breaking or lucky cards triggering

[limpid flint]

is it possible for these kind of effects to not count secret hands?

[past forge]

i want to make something like the dice but for some specific cards

[modern kindle]

i dont actually know where it would be wiki wise unfortunately, i figured out what i needed to by searching the discord here

[balmy sphinx]

Ah alright i appreciate the help regardless!
Trying to get into understanding the calculate systems right now looking over the wiki

Would you be okay if i shoot you a question or two in DM's or ping you here if i get stuck as im trying to look this over?

[modern kindle]

youre fine to dm yea, ill warn its late for me so i might not respond until tomorrow as long as thats alright

[balmy sphinx]

Oh yea its no stress at all mate, I appreciate it all 😄

So for the context of vampire to trigger a update when the power change happens.
Should i use the
if context.post_trigger then (after a Joker has triggered.), if context.post_joker then (used for xmult), or just the one for whenever a card is played?

Also starting to wonder if its better to just set up a new card entirely and disable the original Vampire joker instead to avoid having to mess with taking ownership of the texture

[past forge]

I would need to set m_glass.ability.extra to 1

i dont know if there is a way to do that

[safe token]

Im new in coding and modding, rn trying make my own enhancement, but its cant destroy, whats wrong? can someone help me

[crisp coral]

needs to be changed on alices annums side

[limpid flint]

yeah I know, but the author is missing quite a while

so i am wondering if I can modify it a bit in my fork

[frosty dock]

it's possible for sure

[past forge]

This works now, the issue is that i just want the 4s to not break and if I play any hand containing a glass four, all of the cards of the hand wont break

also, the G.GAME.probabilites.normal stay at 0 after the hand is played

[past forge]

this part is more important

[limpid flint]

I know it must be possible, just not sure how

[lavish lake]

Guys how do I check when it's the end of an ante?

[hushed field]

base game does it by checking for end of round, and if the blind is a boss blind

so unless you're changing how the blinds work, that should do it

[lavish lake]

Maybe I could check rounds by checking if the round number + skipped blinds is a multiple of 4 at the end of a round

I don't know though

[hushed field]

are you changing how the blinds work, then?

[lavish lake]

No it's just a fun idea

[hushed field]

because otherwise I'd really just do it the same way campfire does it

[past forge]

im trying to take another approach, and im trying to detect if a card is going to be destroyed, and if is a glass 4, changing remove to false, but it doesnt seems to work this way

[paper zealot]

In Alices Annum.lua, modify get_least_played_poker_hand() and get_least_played_poker_hand_level() to also check if G.GAME.hands[v].visible

function get_least_played_poker_hand()
...
    for _, v in ipairs(G.handlist) do
        if G.GAME.hands[v].visible and v.G.GAME.hands[v].played <= played_hand_count then
            result_hand = v
...

[hushed field]

glass cards check for the destroyed property, not a removed property, I think

the removed property is checked for joker interactions, but I think by then the glass cards that will shatter are already in a table. So if you change the remove property afterwards, it doesn't get checked again when .shatter() is called on that card

[past forge]

is there a way to print the table of the cards that are going to be shattered?

and if so, how do i prevent the shattering

[hushed field]

i'm not sure, not without an inject, I'd guess

[past forge]

this is what the wiki says about that context

[hushed field]

I'm not sure I can think of a neat way without injects or wonky scripts to prevent shattering while also showing the player that a shattered card was prevented. I think in the joker logic, on context.destroying_card, you could call pseudorandom('glass'), and kinda fake the shattering, by just calculating the chance earlier, and then marking the card as not going to shatter. 🤔

no wait, nvm

[opal spade]

glass card destruction happens in evaluate_play at functions/state_events.lua

[hushed field]

that doesn't matter. You'd need to inject with lovely regardless, I think, because after the calculate_joker() that uses context.destroy_card, the glass shattering is separately calculated and would overwrite it

[past forge]

so the effect is even more complex than I thought

any guides on lovely injecting?

[hushed field]

I found card destruction to be unexpectedly complicated, haha, so I feel you. I'd suggest somethings for lovely, but I haven't found a great guide besides the documentation yet, and I'm just kinda stumbling through it! good luck with it though! 😄

[paper zealot]

Jesus christ, it's a 500 line single function

[opal spade]

it's everything that happens after you press the play button

[past forge]

i almost got the effect that i want here, but the issue on the game probabilities is a big issue

[opal spade]

btw make sure to read from the dump instead of the source bcos smods makes that function look very differently

[hushed field]

I... I should've realized this earlier because my injects in the evaluate function have been a nightmare to get working, hahaha. That's a good note to have 😥

[junior pine]

does anyone know where in the card table the description for a joker is in either G.shop_jokers.cards[] or G.jokers.cards[]?

[limpid flint]

that works like a charm. thank you very much

[prisma loom]

Is there a workaround?

[paper zealot]

Thanks for including SystemClock in your modpacks, by the way, very cool. Ping me if you find any incompatibilities and i'll fix them ASAP

[unkempt thicket]

whats the better calc version of this? if G.GAME.dollars >= card.ability.money then

[young dew]

i'm trying to make a sticker that retriggers card but it won't work for jokers, does anyone know why?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if
            -- Joker (doesn't work)
            (context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and context.other_card == card)
            -- Playing Card
            or ((card.ability.set == "Default" or card.ability.set == "Enhanced") and context.repetition)
        then
            return {
                message = localize("k_again_ex"),
                repetitions = 1,
                card = card,
            }
        end
    end

[manic rune]

whats "context.retrigger_joker"?

[young dew]

i think it indicates when jokers are retriggered

[manic rune]

oh, my joker which retriggers another dooesnt actually use that so i dont think thats necessary, idk

this is what i did

im pretty sure stickers should be the same

[desert marlin]

does someone know how you can make a joker with a random mult? (like misprint)

[obtuse silo]

ok so how would I make sure this detects if a hand contains a 7 and a 10 because iirc this code doesn't work

maybe it's because i'm referring to "context.scoring_hand" which is a boolean?

[young dew]

you can check the source code for misprint but basically you just have to return a random mult in the joker_main context

[young dew]

context.scoring_hand is a table containing all scored cards

[obtuse silo]

ah so this is all right

[young dew]

in theory your joker should work

[obtuse silo]

because the code flow is this:
-declares "has seven" and "hasTen" flags
-checks each card in scoring hand for 7s and 10s, marks as true if the respective rank is found

• if both are true by end of hand, applys mult

[desert marlin]

okay thank you

[obtuse silo]

oh yeah it does work

dunno what i was thinking

[obtuse silo]

okay, so
the issue i'm seeing with this is that everything operates locally. Looking at Fortune Teller's code shows that there's a separate "tarot usage counter" that's constantly tracked, hence why you can find it with more mult than normal as opposed to having to have it in one of your joker slots to scale it
this code doesn't track the total times Coffee Cup was sold, so the effect doesn't work.
Might need a hook for this

[smoky talon]

ok I can detect the date, what's the easiest way to check if it's changed

[young dew]

you can try to add a variable in G.GAME to do this

[paper zealot]

Store the day at the beginning, then check it later to see if it's different

[obtuse silo]

so... how would I go about doing that?

[smoky talon]

that's what i was thinking, i just wasnt quite sure the best way to store it

[paper zealot]

local start_day_string = os.date('%d')
...

if os.date('%d') ~= start_day_string then
    print("It's a brand new day!")
end

[manic rune]

question, currently i have this function which clears some stuff my jokers inflict on playing cards

however, is there a way for me to make it so that this function runs without the need of having to manually put it in jokers' calculation?

[paper zealot]

If you want it to trigger on every day change (if the game is open for more than 24 hours straight?!):

local previous_day_string = os.date('%d')
...
local current_day_string = os.date('%d')
if current_day_string ~= previous_day_string then
    print("It's a brand new day!")
    previous_day_string = current_day_string
end

[smoky talon]

just need it once

thanks though!

[paper zealot]

You could also account for if it's open more than a month straight, when the day wraps around again, but that may be overkill

[smoky talon]

yeah way too much

[paper zealot]

If you want it to work through the game being closed and reopened, you'll need to store the value in SMOD's config

[smoky talon]

now how do i have it instantly vanish instead of being whenever i start a blind or something?

i know i need some sort of context, just not sure what one would always be active

[paper zealot]

Not sure, someone else might be able to assist with that. There's always Game:update, but the less things being checked every frame, the better.

[smoky talon]

i can live with it being when setting a blin for now

[obtuse silo]

@young dew ?

[young dew]

you could do something like this

if context.joker_main then
    return {
        xmult = card.ability.extra.currentxmult + card.ability.extra.xmult * (G.GAME.coffeecup_xmult or 1)
    }
end
if context.selling_self then
    G.GAME.coffeecup_xmult = (G.GAME.coffeecup_xmult or 1) + 1
end

[obtuse silo]

ohi it really is that simple-

i'll test it rq

[spare elk]

yeah i couldnt figure out how to fix the pool stuff, though i think its coming from the code of Wheel of Fortune*? not sure tho

[obtuse silo]

ok it works i just need to make it more apparent

[smoky talon]

I'm sure this is really easy but how do i destroy the joker after the day changes? I tried copying the cavendish code but it really didnt like it lol it complained about like all of the variables

i assume there's an smods destroy but i cant find it

i looked on the page with all the creation and debuffing functions, no luck

[undone flicker]

How would I be able to add my joker to the end of round cash-out screen?

[cursive glade]

I use the same method that j_madness uses:

local destructable_jokers = {}
for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
    local current = G.jokers.cards[i]
    if current ~= self and skpac_utils.getCardKey(current) ~= 'j_[your_prefix]_[joker_key]' and not (current.ability and current.ability.eternal) and not current.getting_sliced then
        destructable_jokers[#destructable_jokers + 1] = current
    end
end
if #destructable_jokers > 0 then
    local joker_to_destroy = pseudorandom_element(destructable_jokers, pseudoseed('madness'))
    if joker_to_destroy then
        play_sound('slice1', 0.96 + math.random() * 0.08)
        extraMessage = "Random Joker Destroyed!"
        joker_to_destroy.getting_sliced = true
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ func = function()
            joker_to_destroy:start_dissolve({G.C.RED}, nil, 1.6)
            return true
        end }))
    end
end

My 3rd line with current ~= self just identifies itself as not able to be destroyed.
The rest of it picks a random destructible joker and destroys it.
It also explicitly excludes eternal and cards already marked for destruction.

[obtuse silo]

try seeing the example joker mod's doc on Golden Joker

[undone flicker]

oh perfect

thank you

[obtuse silo]

np!

[smoky talon]

how do i make it specifically destroy itself

[obtuse silo]

there's probably something in relation to Gros Michel's code
the examplejokers mod has an SMODS version of Gros Michel and Cavendish

[cursive glade]

set joker_to_destroy as your card's key. I'm sure you can modify my code to your purposes.

        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ func = function()
            joker_to_destroy:start_dissolve({G.C.RED}, nil, 1.6)
            return true
        end }))

[smoky talon]

alright

[jovial harness]

Trying to get a snippet of code to run once for every card in played hand, including unscoring. context.individual only seems to count scored cards, and includes retriggers (e.g. Hack). Should I be doing a loop through every card in context.before instead?

[smoky talon]

it just crashes now and complains about the key being a nil value

[manic rune]

i dont think thats how you are supposed to do it

[paper zealot]

Can you think of why that might be?

[manic rune]

the joker_to_destroy part is supposed to be a card

[smoky talon]

i used the joker key

[manic rune]

so i believe it should be smt like:

calculate = function(self,card,context)
  if context.setting_blind then
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
      card:start_dissolve...... etc etc
    ))}
  end
end```

[cursive glade]

Right, sorry. I'm sick and heavily medicated. I shouldn't be doing code lol

It's supposed to be the table of the card you want to destroy (probably self tbh)

[smoky talon]

ah

[manic rune]

uhh think of a joker key as someone's identification, you want that person in this case, not their id

[obtuse silo]

ok this code works
but the multiplier doesn't change and it starts at 2X per cup

[smoky talon]

i changed it to self and now it doesnt like the dissolve part

[manic rune]

you should use card instead of self in this case i believe

[cursive glade]

Did you try card?

[smoky talon]

card works

thanks!

[cursive glade]

Thought so. self and card are identifiers pointing to itself, I just haven't investigated their proper use cases. I just usually throw stuff together and bash my head against it until it works.

[manic rune]

same, i remember someone explaining what self is and i still havent exactly figured that out lol

but in most cases you use card if you want to refer to the joker which is doing the whole calculation stuff

[cursive glade]

Is there a global or smods variable for the current blind's score requirement, and the current (or final) round score?

[tidal edge]

help im having a stroke its been a while since i've been making shit

what is this enhancement missing

[gray apex]

Is there a way to change the color of an {X:<color>} in a joker's description using loc_vars?

[cursive glade]

That's an interesting one

[tidal edge]

please it wont show up in game

[manic rune]

i think its possible actually?

[young dew]

oh mb you should replace the 1s with 0s

[junior pine]

is there a table in G that contains the blind information for selection? like blind name, required score, rewards and tag if skipped?

[manic rune]

i havent made an enhancement before so i cant help u with this one, sorry :(

[obtuse silo]

ok but the main problem is the aesthetics
lemme record something rq

[tidal edge]

alright, the problem is that it isnt showing up in the menu

[obtuse silo]

@young dew this is the issue
it's visually still a 1X mult even when it clearly applies 2X, 3X and so on

[manic rune]

maybe this?

[gray apex]

To clarify:

loc_txt = {
    name = 'Joker Name',
    text = {
        "{X:#1#}I want this to change between chip color and mult color{}"
    }
},
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { vars = {
        someBooleanCondition and 'chips' or 'mult',
    } }
end,

[manic rune]

the "self.chips" part seems to be the chip requirement

so i believe it should be G.GAME.blind.chips (for example) to get the chip requirement

[gray apex]

I know you can use {V:1} to modify text colors based on desired conditions, but is there a way I can make {X:<color>} behave in the same way?

[tidal edge]

does anyone have an example for how to do an enhancement

steamodded doesnt have them anymore

[manic rune]

uhh lets see, lets say in loc_vars, you have
card.ability.extra.color
...and
{X:#1#} (the #1# part being card.ability.extra.color)

MAYBE if you change card.ability.extra.color to a string which represents color stuffs, like "mult", "chips", "white",... then it will work? im actually curious if this is possible or it will just be
{X:mult}...{} in the description lol

[obtuse silo]

V1?????

dang, ultrakill reference

goated

V2 when

[gray apex]

lmao

[storm sedge]

Can someone help me

[gray apex]

It recognizes that it's suppoxed to put a box around the text, but the provided color is ignored in favor of the default text color. The first value in loc_vars was "mult", and I set the text as follows:

text = {
            "{X:#1#,C:white}Test{}"
        }

[obtuse silo]

i'll bite
what with?

[storm sedge]

Texture changing

[manic rune]

X: just means it will change the background color, if you want to change the text color then you will need to have C: too

[storm sedge]

I'm on Android btw

[obtuse silo]

you mean.. you're trying to mod mobile?

[manic rune]

thats actually illegal

[obtuse silo]

no can do.

[manic rune]

i will have to imprison you there

[gray apex]

I'm not trying to change the text color, i'm trying to change the background color, apologies if I didn't clarify that
-# I've been banging my head against the wall for hours aaaa

[manic rune]

ah i see, dw

hm

[storm sedge]

I didn't actually know that

[obtuse silo]

just make sure you read the rules next time, m'kay?

[storm sedge]

👍

[manic rune]

if that doesnt seem to work then u probably cant do that 💀

it would be interesting if it actually worked though

[storm sedge]

Why is it illegal though

[manic rune]

🤷‍♂️

i actually dont know myself

[gray apex]

Damn 😔

[storm sedge]

So you're telling me that modding a game on pc is fine but modding on a mobile device with the same game is really bad for no reason

[gray apex]

If I had to guess with absolutely zero confirmation, it's probably because it might stumble into piracy/jailbreak discussions

[obtuse silo]

yeah
just
air on the side of caution

[manic rune]

wait wtf

wait

https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidGaming/comments/9xa5y4/why_is_there_no_mobile_modding_scene/

probably related to this

idk

[storm sedge]

Wait this seems interesting chat pauae

[manic rune]

reddit is currently blocked in my country so i dont know whatever is in there lol (and im lazy to turn on vpn)

[storm sedge]

So modders aren't just interested in modding Mobile games

[fluid pecan]

can you share a bit of ur code?

[obtuse silo]

sure
here's the code for the relevant joker

[hearty sedge]

i did find something about it some days ago 'cause i wondered if could play modded on my phone too when i was away from pc, people found all sorts of things related to the conversion of the modded save folder and version.dll but seems like it takes a lot

[manic rune]

it should be #2#

not #1#

.

wait

nvm

[storm sedge]

There is a way i know but again against the rules to talk about it

[manic rune]

uhhh

alright got it

so

       if context.selling_self then
            G.GAME.coffeecup_xmult = (G.GAME.coffeecup_xmult or 0) + 1
        end

this part is the problem

i think?

[red flower]

the second value in loc vars should be card.ability.extra.currentxmult + card.ability.extra.xmult * (G.GAME.coffeecup_xmult or 0)

[fluid pecan]

i don't see any variablkes used in the actual text?

[nocturne garnet]

using {V:number}

loc_txt = {
        name = "Prism",
        text = {
            "{V:1}hi" --will be gold
        },
    },
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
  return{
    colours = {G.C.GOLD}
  }
end```

[fluid pecan]

shouldn't it be #card.ability.extra.currentxmult#X{}?

new to balatro modding tho

but i have written mods for other games so just an idea

[manic rune]

like, this changes xmult, but i think its supposed to change currentxmult

[gray apex]

This changes the text color, yes, but I'm specifically after a way to change the text's background color in a similar way

[nocturne garnet]

ah

[fluid pecan]

oh wait

i understrand it now

[manic rune]

it goes in order actually

[nocturne garnet]

nope, #1# is just the first element returned in loc_vars function's vars

[fluid pecan]

yup i saw

mbmb

[nocturne garnet]

you arent changing currentxmult at all, shouldnt you be returning G.GAME.coffeecup_xmult * card.ability.extra.xmult instead?

[fluid pecan]

but in this case, it's just pulling the card.ability.extra.currentxmult from the config which is 1??

no wait

im dumb

[nocturne garnet]

thus is the problem

[fluid pecan]

oh it is

[obtuse silo]

i see
so do i just instead make "currentxmult" in config with "xmult"?

[manic rune]

SMODS.Joker{
    key = "coffeecup",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Coffee Cup",
        text = {
            "",
            "This and all copies",
            "of this {C:attention}Joker{} gain",
            "{X:mult,C:white}#1#X{} Mult when sold",
            "{C:inactive}(Currently {X:mult,C:white}#2#X{} {C:inactive}Mult){}"
  
        },
    },
    config = { extra = {xmult = 1, currentxmult = 1} },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult, card.ability.extra.currentxmult} }
    end,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 1,
    atlas = "MintConditionCards",
    pos = {x = 5, y = 0},
    cost = 4,
    calculate = function (self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.currentxmult
            }
        end
        if context.selling_self then
            for i,v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
              if v.ability and v.ability.name == card.config.center.key then
                v.ability.extra.currentxmult = v.ability.extra.currentxmult + v.ability.extra.xmult
              end
            end
        end
    end
}```

[nocturne garnet]

currentxmult is useless lol

[obtuse silo]

yeah i just did it for uniformity but I ended up using someone else's solution that made it redundant-

[tidal edge]

hey anyone know why this wont show up in the collection

[red flower]

this will only work if you have the joker when selling it, I think they want to check all jokers sold during the run

[obtuse silo]

yeah

[obtuse silo]

hence the G.GAME variable

[fluid pecan]

im more stumped on how it works inside of the game at all

[manic rune]

isnt the joker's function supposed to be, like:

• sells one coffee cup
• other coffee cups gain xmult?

[nocturne garnet]

yes but future copies do aswell

[manic rune]

wait actually?

[fluid pecan]

oh or it is cuz hes keeping track of that in G.GAME.coffeecup_xmult

[obtuse silo]

the idea is you can sell it and find copies in the future that inherit the mult

[fluid pecan]

oh wiat

that sounds very logical

[manic rune]

ohhh

yeah i see

(isnt that a bit too broken tho ngl)

[nocturne garnet]

G.GAME.coffee_cupxmult is just so that its saved through reloads

[hearty sedge]

soo how do you add/make jokers?

[nocturne garnet]

not really

[nocturne garnet]

docs

[hearty sedge]

uere

[nocturne garnet]

or alternatively

[fluid pecan]

yeah so what ur doing inside of the text is using a variable that you reset back to 1 every time, but to the calculator u pass the global object which does increase

[red flower]

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

[fluid pecan]

if i inderstand it correctly

[nocturne garnet]

actually i cant say that thats self advertising

nevermind

[manic rune]

its like gros michel but you dont have to rely on the 1 in 6 to break itself and get the upgraded ver of it afterwards

[obtuse silo]

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

[nocturne garnet]

you have to find the joker again though

[manic rune]

yeah, which is also the case for gros michel

[nocturne garnet]

2 times for it to be as good as cavendish

[hearty sedge]

what did you want to say

[red flower]

imagine "balancing" jokers

[manic rune]

and if you run a lucky card deck, you can farm a lot of $ to keep rerolling for coffee cups

[nocturne garnet]

couldnt be me!

[hearty sedge]

im gonna take a look at these rq

[fluid pecan]

@nocturne garnet just dm it to them

[obtuse silo]

lmao i just want ideas

[nocturne garnet]

i doubt that wouldnt count

[obtuse silo]

i'm just funneling ideas into a thing

[fluid pecan]

whoever cares about self promotion wwhen you want to help someone who asks for it

[nocturne garnet]

it may be in dms but it'd be like a bot dming everyone on the server

also my tutorial is probably like hella old now

[fluid pecan]

they are asking for it themselves in this case

[hearty sedge]

i mean... im here, if i say you're a bot im the one who should be banned

[obtuse silo]

that's good actually

[manic rune]

or just basically about ante 5+ onwards, you should have like $25 for interest to reroll

[manic rune]

• those vouchers to increase your interest cap too

[nocturne garnet]

difference is you have to sell the joker for it to increase, and it takes time to find it again

[obtuse silo]

works great with Showman

[nocturne garnet]

showman synergy is pretty good

[manic rune]

a joker having inf scaling is pretty insane for a common though

[fluid pecan]

i think i'm gonna make my own one wanna help me with some stuff, i'm both a teacher and a video editor as my professions so it seemed only fitting to see if i could figure this out to make a little tutorial for my friends but maybe also for other people

[nocturne garnet]

i should lowkey make more tutorials

mayb next week when i got time

[fluid pecan]

i got a lot of time this coming week 😅

is that what ur talking about

or the week after that

[tidal edge]

hey anyone know why this wont show up in the collection [again since noone saw the last one]

[nocturne garnet]

week after the next week

[fluid pecan]

ahh yikes we'll have to see then but dw i'll just run some stuff through to check not too much work on your part

[obtuse silo]

tested this
it scales but the current value shows up as 1 less than the actual mult

[nocturne garnet]

oh

i guess just add 1 lmao

[obtuse silo]

i guess i could fix this by setting the loc_vars specifically to just "or 1"

[nocturne garnet]

oh right yea

[obtuse silo]

hm?

[fluid pecan]

not sure at all tho

[nocturne garnet]

whar

[fluid pecan]

sorry i should keep my mouth shut

holdon

'ill come back later

[nocturne garnet]

its in loc_vars.....

[fluid pecan]

oh

they changed it

whoopsie

🙃

[obtuse silo]

ookay that only fixes the issue when no coffee cups have been sold

maybe the +1 was the right way to go

[fluid pecan]

go with simple until you find a bug 👍

[nocturne garnet]

does it?

hold on

[tidal edge]

please i've been troubleshooting for hours 😭

[nocturne garnet]

change this from or 0 to or 1 aswell?

[obtuse silo]

0 Cups Sold
1 Cup Sold
2 Cups Sold
and it functions as intended!

[nocturne garnet]

also

peak drawing 🙏

[obtuse silo]

ty :3

[nocturne garnet]

joeka

im the joeka baby

[obtuse silo]

yea i wanted that to be how "joker" was written because of how baristas mispell names-

[manic rune]

average starbucks experience

shouldve colored the cup like a starbucks cup ngl

since its pretty much their signature

[obtuse silo]

ehhh i just used a basic coffee cup as reference

[tidal edge]

im sorry i keep reposting but im desperate for help

whyisnt this showing up in collection im confused

[crisp coral]

remove the = between enhancement and {

[tidal edge]

im going to dissolve

ajkwrajrawjr

[obtuse silo]

that's what tripped you up

[tidal edge]

now it isnt giving chips

rip

[obtuse silo]

that's because you don't have a calculate function

[tidal edge]

im so ass at making this shit its ben so long

[tidal edge]

oh yeah i thought with enhancements all it wants is the config 😭

[obtuse silo]

yea
also make sure you have a loc_vars for your bonus chips

[tidal edge]

aw man im too tired for this today 😭

thanks for the help though

[obtuse silo]

np
do rest if you feel the need to

[gray apex]

Holy heck I finally figured it out

[obtuse silo]

NICEEE

[gray apex]

I had to replace the vanilla localize function with a modified variant so that it has a new text modifier {B:1} which functions basically the same as {V:1} except it affects the text background

-# Hopefully this doesn't cause any compatibility issues oh boy

This is the sole reason I spent the last 5 hours on this 😭

[fluid pecan]

looks cool tho

this about conway's game of life?

[gray apex]

Yeah, it'll give like 2 or 3 chips per living cell, and reset to a random state when all cells die

[fluid pecan]

oh wow

interesting

one thing tho

are u just gonna reset it if it hits a stable state

like i think the square

im not sure if i remember correctly hto

[gray apex]

Probably, I'll have it remember the last 3-4 states and if it repeats, then it'll reset

[fluid pecan]

i think it might be better to just grab those states from the internet, save them in a table and check once it reaches one of them

you could encode it into a string

that way you can recognize it

[gray apex]

It's a hard problem, because there's some patterns that repeat every 2 generations, and some that repeat over 120 generations ;-;

Though with such a limited grid size (5x5 without wrap around) most might not fit

[fluid pecan]

every 120 generations is fine tho honestly, but i recommend picking a threshold like every 10 generations, and then encoding all of those patterns so your code checks of ONLY that shape is present or otherwise 2 of those shapes, and then maybe a better idea is for it to generate an extra true somewhere so it breaks away from that cycle

[fluid pecan]

yeah i think ur gonna run into only 5 or 6

[fluid pecan]

but thats a shit ton of work tho honestly

[ionic timber]

how do I change the shop_rate of consumable or the weight of a booster pack ? (I'm currently using a variable but is there a better way of doing it ?)

[gray apex]

In terms of oscillating patterns (repeats after n generations), the only one that fits is the 1x3 line that rotates. The ones that don't change from generation to generation shouldn't be hard to tackle tho

[ionic verge]

how do i tie localization files to the places the text needs to go to?

like for this what do i need to put in the joker?

[dim dust]

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

[ionic verge]

well imma be real its just showing me the old method i was using

i was hoping to use the one thatd allow easy translation

like the one where you set up files like en-us.lua and put all the text in there

[red flower]

like this https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/main/localization/default.lua

[ionic verge]

well yeah

thats what the above is

but its currently not attatching the text to the joker in game

[red flower]

then the key is probably wrong

[ionic verge]

its not

[red flower]

is it in descriptions.Joker?

[ionic verge]

its in en-us.lua

[red flower]

no, I mean is the table formatted like my screenshot

[ionic verge]

in the way i thought i was supposed to do this from the documentation and johnsmods word of god

[red flower]

does the joker show up blank?

[ionic verge]

yes

[red flower]

oh i think it shoudl'nt be in the modules folder

[ionic verge]

ooooooh

that makes sense

yep it works now

[celest olive]

love that

[wicked spire]

what if i made a mod that functions like the card game Mao 😈

[unkempt thicket]

this seems to trigger twice on enhancements, but once on seals. Why doesn't it work properly on the enhancement? (I'm referring to the context that's the same)

[wintry solar]

Add and context.main_eval

I think there’s some jank seal stuff left around that might need looking at

[unkempt thicket]

With that added the enhancement doesn't seem to trigger at all

[wintry solar]

Oh wait that’s just for jokers nvm

Have you got something causing repetitions?

Oh it might be because it’s just in config maybe?

[unkempt thicket]

This is what I've got.

[wintry solar]

Try adding an extra table inside your config

[unkempt thicket]

Still triggering twice

[wintry solar]

🤔

Can you throw a print(inspect(context)) just before the return for me?

[wintry solar]

Do context.playing_card_end_of_round instead of the normal one

[fluid pecan]

the art is sick how did u do that

[unkempt thicket]

That worked👍

[ionic verge]

gradients

aseprite

(idunno its been like a month or two now since i made it)

[fluid pecan]

oh is this for debugging?

[wicked spire]

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

[obtuse silo]

great.
the values show up as "nil" but work as intended
and each 10 plays the "reset" animation too

[wintry solar]

Add and context.main_eval to the reset part

[obtuse silo]

you mean like
as an additional context?

so
context.end_of_round and context.main_eval?

[wintry solar]

yes

[jovial harness]

Trying to figure out what I should change the context to for the first half of this code to total up each card properly. My brain leans into "for loop running as a context.before going through a whole hand", but I'm not sure if that's the best way to count each card in a played hand (including unscoring) once

... actually why have I not looked at splash's code yet

[hushed field]

does there happen to be a context like context.first_hand_drawn that also has access to the actual drawn hand?

[wintry solar]

oh I havent updated the wiki

check context.hand_drawn

its a table of the drawn cards

[hushed field]

oh, sick, haha, that's exactly what I need!

[wooden nexus]

Why is this like that?

key = "1",
card_key = "1",
pos = {x = 14},
lc_atlas = "SCB_LC_Faces",
hc_atlas = "SCB_HC_Faces",
loc_txt = {name = "1",},
nominal = 1,
shorthand = key,
face = false,
next = {"2"},
strength_effect = {fixed = 1},
in_pool = function(self, args)
    if args.suit == 'SBC_Bamboo' then
        return true
    else
        return false
    end 
end,
}```

[weak brook]

really dont get why this lovely refuses to detect this pattern here

[patches.pattern]
target = 'functions/common_events.lua'
pattern = "elseif _c.name == \"The Wheel of Fortune\" then loc_vars = {G.GAME.probabilities.normal, cfg.extra}"```

i mean its right there

[gaunt thistle]

the pattern must match with the entirety of the line

[weak brook]

oh. didnt realize it worked like that

[gaunt thistle]

your pattern is unfortunately only matching the first bit, which isn't a valid match

yeah it's a limitation of the pattern patch's syntax

[unkempt thicket]

This seems to be removing one from each instance of the enhancement in the deck, instead of just one from the enhancement triggered.

[wintry solar]

use card instead of self

[chrome prawn]

this is the 3rd iteration of my code but my custom poker hand still isn't scoring the queen even though the game is detecting as selected

[spring lantern]

i think she's ready

[chrome prawn]

I seriously need some help with this cause I don't know what's going on

[limpid halo]

varying levels of seriousness are happening

[hushed field]

the art for those are wonderful!

[cloud plaza]

Yall think these read well as leaves?

[limpid halo]

those are sparts

i didn't see it until i read your text tbh

[cloud plaza]

I think you are mistaken

[limpid halo]

oh, it appears i am

[cloud plaza]

But yea if someone told you those were leaves would you recognize them as leaves

[jovial harness]

yep!

[limpid halo]

then yes

[cloud plaza]

Sweet

Onto the next suit

[violet void]

Is card.edition.type the correct way to get the name of the edition applied to a card

[wintry solar]

it'll give you the key without the e_ prefix iirc

[wooden nexus]

SMODS.Rank {
key = "1",
card_key = "1",
pos = {x = 14},
lc_atlas = "SCB_LC_Faces",
hc_atlas = "SCB_HC_Faces",
loc_txt = {name = "1",},
nominal = 1,
shorthand = key,
face = false,
next = {"2"},
strength_effect = {fixed = 1},
in_pool = function(self, args)
if args.suit == 'SCB_Bamboo' or args.suit == 'SCB_Dot' or args.suit == 'SCB_Character' then
return true
else
return false
end
end,
}

SMODS.Back {
name = "SCB_Mahjong",
key = "SCB_Mahjong",
config = {},
order = 16,
pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
loc_txt = {
name = "Mahjong",
text = {
"Play with {C:attention}Mahjong{}"
}
},
apply = function(self)

local extra_cards = {}

        
extra_cards[#extra_cards+1] = {s = suits_mah[i], r = "SCB_1"}

for i = 1, 3 do
    for i = 1, #suits_mah do
        for j = 1, #Rank_Mah_N do
            extra_cards[#extra_cards+1] = {s = suits_mah[i], r = Rank_Mah_N[j]}        
        end
    end
end

G.GAME.starting_params.extra_cards = extra_cards
end

}

Oops

Still unclear on how to make this work

[dim dust]

Any idea why this code do not work ?

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'j_ok',
    discovered = true,
    unlocked = true
} ``` ```lua
return {
    descriptions = {
        Joker = {
            j_ok = {
                loc_txt = {
                    name = 'AJOKER',
                    text = {
                        '.',
                        '.'
                    }
                },
            }
        }
    }
}```
It's a really simple code, i created a "localization" folder and a en-us.lua file for the strings, but for a reason, it does not work

[dreamy thunder]

its missing your mod's prefix

[dim dust]

oh

[wintry solar]

new splash context? 👀

[hushed field]

It's almost impressive how you seem to working on exactly the kind of stuff I need, before I have the chance to write a worse implementation haha

[cloud plaza]

Wow I completely freehanded this and I'm actually kinda proud of it

[vivid solstice]

Looks great! Is that the ace of leaves?

[cloud plaza]

Yup!

Its actually entirely a coincidence that leaves are a thing in this deck im making, they replace hearts in this instead of spades which they are historically

[wooden nexus]

Okay i genuinely have no idea why this is not working

[cloud plaza]

This deck is based off of the story me and my friends are writing and one of the factions happens to be heavily plant themed

[wooden nexus]

Ah forget it, I'm gonna update my sprite sheets to be combined

see if that's the problem

[unkempt thicket]

Is there a way to trigger a card after it's been trigger. (Ex: first card triggering again after third card.)

[wooden nexus]

I need to figure out how to make the chips for these 1s to 9 chips instead of 1 chip to match Aotenjo

[faint yacht]

SMODS.score_card(context_scoring.hand[3], {cardarea = G.play, full_hand = context.full_hand, scoring_hand = context.scoring_hand, scoring_name = context.scoring_name, poker_hands = context.poker_hands}) ?

[wooden nexus]

any way to remove the prefix?

I may just have to manually do it

[frosty dock]

you can set a shorthand, but I've wanted to rework this system

(it's currently not localizable)

[frosty dock]

context.scoring.hand

[wooden nexus]

I just changed the shorthand to "1" in this case. Y'know if it's possible for me to make the 1s have 9 chips just for the mahjong chips? but 1 for any others?

or is this something I should check my tag_card stuff

[frosty dock]

it's probably easiest to modify the entry in P_CARDS you want to change after injection

smods doesn't really offer a good way for unique playing cards as of yet

[wooden nexus]

I can tell

[faint yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/meer-plus-one-mulan-plus-one-meer-plus1-and-thats-a-plus1-gif-26257120

[wooden nexus]

but hey

so far i have 108/144 i believe

[cloud plaza]

hmm, do I break the color rules to look cooler or work with negative space

[maiden river]

is there a way to make a joker trigger on certain events happening?
I want to make a joker that reacts to an event happening with another card

kind of like how lucky cat works

[wooden nexus]

Sorry not 144, 136

Forgot I'm not doing Seasons or Flowers, which is how Aotenjo's default has it

[wooden nexus]

Modify the entry? how?

[wintry solar]

splash context is neat

[frosty dock]

change the nominal, that's what controls the amount of chips

[unkempt thicket]

Is there a specfic context it needs to be in?

[dim dust]

thank you !! (i just confused myself with mod prefix and Joker prefix)

[frosty dock]

neat

[wintry solar]

are there any other contexts you think need to be added?

[unkempt thicket]

I ask because of this.

[maiden phoenix]

it's scoring_hand

[frosty dock]

I already pointed out the mistake of scoring.hand

[maiden river]

kind of related
the whole gang's here

[hallow slate]

This is what happens why I try inserting this:

    key = "music_madcap",

[unkempt thicket]

That worked ty!

[maiden phoenix]

Me when I steal Aure's thanks

[frosty dock]

nah you deserve the thanks

[hallow slate]

Ok my problem is probs bc I did audio instead of sound

[maiden phoenix]

Kinda feel bad cuz apparently you said it already before

[unkempt thicket]

I thank all involved, it took me way too long to get that working.

[frosty dock]

bleh

[maiden phoenix]

Thank you Aure for no reasons

Gottem

[sturdy compass]

I'm trying to create a new card type and it is going disastrously lmao

The fact that it isn't a consumable type does not help 😭

[wintry solar]

why isn't it a consumable type?

[sturdy compass]

Because it's not a card you use. It almost acts like a Joker in a way

[wooden nexus]

and I can keep it after 2?

[sturdy compass]

(but not really)

[wintry solar]

you can do that with consumable types

[maiden phoenix]

Yea new-calc supports calculate on consumables

[sturdy compass]

Then how would I prevent people from "using" them

[frosty dock]

can_use

[maiden phoenix]

Hook or lovely patch said button to not show up if the card set is your consumable's

[wintry solar]

if can_use returns false there's no button

[sturdy compass]

Oh huh

[maiden phoenix]

Doesn't this just grey out the button

[maiden phoenix]

Oml 😭

[wintry solar]

oh maybe that's just in shop

[sturdy compass]

oh

[frosty dock]

hm yeah that's just in shop actually

[sturdy compass]

damn

[frosty dock]

maybe we should add a use_button flag

[wintry solar]

yeah maybe

[maiden phoenix]

If you need a reference I did something similar for my mod

[sturdy compass]

[wintry solar]

I was thinking as well should consumable types have a default area to go to?

[maiden phoenix]

(for now until they add said use_button flag)

[wooden nexus]

So what, is there a section of code i can do that's like "if card.suit = X, Y, Z then
nomial = 9" or something like that

But isn't nomial = 9 gonna move the rank to after 8 instead of before 2?

[maiden phoenix]

[cloud plaza]

Hell yeah

[sturdy compass]

sick

[cloud plaza]

Not finished yet but I'm wicked proud of the pixel art I did

[ionic timber]

is there a built-in way to change the shop_rate of consumable or the weight of a booster pack ? (like some vouchers does)

[wintry solar]

this is now added

added in 1415a

[minor magnet]

is there a way to check if a certain mod is installed for an if statement?

[maiden phoenix]

if (SMODS.Mods["mod_id"] or {}).can_load then

Or if the mod uses a global you can check if it exists

(like Cryptid or Ortalab iirc)

[minor magnet]

great thanks

[maiden river]

HUGE

[sturdy compass]

What does the key structure for a card with a custom ConsumableType look like? would it just be c_[prefix]_[key]?

[maiden phoenix]

yes

[frosty dock]

we don't do that anymore

if next(SMODS.find_mod("id")) then

[maiden phoenix]

Oh, that's neat

[sturdy compass]

So this setup would be correct (ignoring the blank fields)?

[frosty dock]

kinda funny how we went from SMODS.findModByID to no util to this

[maiden phoenix]

I don't know if empty colors count as a valid required parameter

[sturdy compass]

I'm aware, I said ignoring that lol

[maiden phoenix]

oops 98%

Does your consumable type can have dupes or do you want a default?

[frosty dock]

I mean HEX"" is probably just black?

[sturdy compass]

What exactly does this mean?

[maiden phoenix]

You know the default option if all options are taken/poll is empty

Like strength for tarot or Joker for jokers

[unkempt thicket]

How do you make a card suitless, without an enhancement?

[sturdy compass]

yes I do want a default, hence why I set it

[maiden phoenix]

Oh wow

[maiden phoenix]

I read it comparing to my code and I set the default at the bottom 😅

[sturdy compass]

Can't believe I'm hitting you with the 98% lmfao

[maiden phoenix]

I already hit myself before with it

Twice in a row so close together today hurts

[sturdy compass]

😭

[maiden phoenix]

.

[sturdy compass]

But yeah I assume this skeleton for the type is good then?

[maiden phoenix]

Dunno if cards' useful but overall looks good to me

[sturdy compass]

How exactly does cards work then? It's gonna be more than just that one card in the type, I just wanted to make sure I was getting it all set correctly

From how I interpreted the doc, that's what sets the specified cards to the type

[maiden phoenix]

You can do that when you create the card directly with set = "consumable_type_key"

[sturdy compass]

Ah I see ok

So this works in that case?

[maiden phoenix]

Seems like it should

[plush cove]

hey how do you get that red text in VS code? it looks so cool!!! /j

[sturdy compass]

lmfaooooo

[maiden phoenix]

That description about to look funky

[wintry solar]

omg zodiacs!!!!

[sturdy compass]

Alrighty then, thanks for the tips

[sturdy compass]

[jovial harness]

I'm trying to remove stone cards from a calculation in a joker, but I can't figure out exactly to do it. Can I get somehelp with this?

[maiden phoenix]

try v.ability.name ~= "Stone Card" instead

[normal crest]

use not SMODS.has_no_rank(v)

[jovial harness]

Thank you! Worked perfectly.

[maiden phoenix]

This is a better solution to handle every kind of stuff that removes ranks

[jovial harness]

I tried that one first actually - caused a nil value error

Lemme go put it back in to get the crashlog

Stone Card possibly works better in this context since for some reason they were causing the calculation to go way off the rails

[dim dust]

Is there a prefix for lua SMODS.DeckSkin ?

[maiden phoenix]

Try updating your SMODS

[normal crest]

you have a very old version of steamodded

[normal crest]

what do you mean by a prefix

[jovial harness]

That'd do it lmao

[dim dust]

For the localization files, like j_ for the jokers

I'd like to change the name

[maiden phoenix]

Never made a SMODS.DeckSkin, but you could look at how other mods did it

[dim dust]

I'll prob do that

[jovial harness]

yep it was old SMODs, PEBKAC but it works perfectly now!

[scarlet spire]

okay I can't make sense of any of this code, unless someone with deep knowledge of smods and balatro's scoring code wants to guide me through this, I'm done trying to figure out how to implement an unscoring context

[plush cove]

idk if this helps but this is how I handle unscoring cards for one of my jokers

(it levels up if a hand contains any number of unscoring cards, and resets if all cards score)

[scarlet spire]

yeah the issue for me is that unscoring cards don't calculate, which requires a patch

[wintry solar]

what are you trying to do?

[scarlet spire]

unscoring context used by cryptid's green seals

having a card calculate if it's played but unscoring

[wintry solar]

oh right yeah I wanted to build that into smods at some point

[scarlet spire]

ooh, that'd be really nice to have built in

[lethal mural]

how does gradient(self, dt) on rarity work?

i havent seen any other mod use it that i know of

[edgy reef]

You basically modify the G.C of the rarity color inside that function (much like how the DARK_EDITION color does).

The mods with rarities that have gradients just didn’t port em (e.x. for Cryptid I was just too lazy).

[grim remnant]

i'm trying to make a joker that, among other things i'm yet to implement, is meant to just give. 1 chip and 1 mult. but for some reason it's not showing up right in-game??? what am i doing wrong, exactly?

    config = { extra = { chips = 1 } },```

[maiden phoenix]

First, you can put all your config.extra stuff in one singular table. Second did you define a loc_vars to your joker? Also show the code of your localization

[grim remnant]

as of right now i'm just mucking with the vanilla jokers template so i uh. i don't think i'll be doing that much yet. here's the loc

        name = 'Paul',
        text = {
            "{C:mult}+#1# {} Mult",
            "{C:chips}+#1# {} Chips",
            "Paul."
        }
    },```

[maiden phoenix]

loc_vars is basically what's used to replace the #x# in the localization, it looks something like this for your example

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

Also your "Chips" line should have #2# instead of #1# to refer to the second value in the returned loc_vars table

[maiden phoenix]

But yea you should really fix your config

[maiden river]

btw how does it work

[wintry solar]

on_select = function(self, card)
-- code here
end``` on your object

[maiden river]

ah alright

very handy

[grim remnant]

how exactly do i adjust that to be one line, anyhow? (if it helps, i'm planning on also giving this a passive +1 Joker Slot ability as an extension of the joke; so uh. will i need to put that on an extra line?)

[maiden phoenix]

    config = { extra = { mult = 1, chips = 1 } },

Simple as that

[compact valve]

so I've made joker texture replacements by hijacking another texture mod, all I need to know now is how I make it into a separate mod

[grim remnant]

it's got 1 mult, but not 1 chips yet...

[maiden phoenix]

Show your loc_vars and loc_txt?

[grim remnant]

    -- How the code refers to the joker.
    key = 'paulJoker',
    -- loc_text is the actual name and description that show in-game for the card.
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Paul',
        text = {
            "{C:mult}+#1# {} Mult",
            "{C:chips}+#2# {} Chips",
            "Paul."
        }
    },
    --[[
        Config sets all the variables for your card, you want to put all numbers here.
        This is really useful for scaling numbers, but should be done with static numbers -
        If you want to change the static value, you'd only change this number, instead
        of going through all your code to change each instance individually.
        ]]
    config = { extra = { mult = 1, chips = 1 } },```
relevant lines here

[plush cove]

MODS

please tell me it says SMODS in your code

and you just mistyped it in the chat message

[maiden phoenix]

Where's your loc_vars?

[frosty dock]

it would crash otherwise

[grim remnant]

it says SMODS. i mis-copied ;P

[grim remnant]

        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
    end,```
wait. i think i see the issue

[maiden phoenix]

Yea you forgot to put the chips one in too

[grim remnant]

also, does anyone know if there's like. a keyboard shortcut to quickly restart the game without having to enable/disable another mod? (and to a lesser extent a mod that like, lets you summon a joker in-game so you can test it easily)

okay, THAT much worked

[maiden phoenix]

Weird extra space but nice

[plush cove]

idk about the former but for the latter:
step 1: download https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus
step 2: hover over the joker you want in your collection
step 3: press 3

[normal crest]

Debugplus to spawn jokers

[scarlet spire]

honestly I just alt+f4 and then launch via steam

holding M restarts (I think only if you have debug mode enabled on the game itself?)

[grim remnant]

Moment

[lethal mural]

how do i make it so jokers dont spawn in the shop in a normal (non challenge) deck

[scarlet spire]

though it ends up spamming the next window that gets focused with the letter m, which is a bit annoying if you have your code open in the background

[tired marsh]

This code is causing my joker to instantly despawn, also its taking out a way larger chunk of chips, mult, and xmult than it should. Any advice?

I stole the func code from the popcorn joker

[grim remnant]

okay, weird. it DISPLAYS the +1 chips but doesn't give them in scoring.

[maiden phoenix]

context.end_of_round has multiple other contexts tied to it, try adding and context.main_eval to it

[tired marsh]

kk

[plush cove]

where are you setting up the Sucker variable?

[tired marsh]

Its up top earlier, dwao

It works for sure

[plush cove]

show me it so I can check

[maiden phoenix]

Oh yea if it's defined in the calculate function that'll cause issues

[tired marsh]

The calculate function

Its defined outside of it

Sorry, initialized

[young dew]

the modded balatro wiki is super slow for me

i think it's because of the new background

and i don't know of to un-slow the wiki 😔

[maiden phoenix]

You mean this? https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki

[tired marsh]

So this prevented it from despawning, but I think that it no longer randomly decays the values

[young dew]

no this one https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

[maiden phoenix]

oh

[tired marsh]

Which probably means it doesn't go into it anymroe

[maiden phoenix]

Odd, can you debug inside the context.eor and me see if it actually doesn't go inside?

[past forge]

holding m restarts????

wow it does

[maiden phoenix]

Oh yea also Oburg what's your SMODS version?

[minor magnet]

if someone makes a good teto balatro song im gonna make it so she plays it when you get her

as of right now she plays fukkireta

also she only appears if you have vocalatro or the vocaloid card set installed

[plush cove]

Quick question!

I'm split between doing two methods of probability guaranteeing, and I wanted to know if there were any reason to do one over the other?

1. Lovely patch into the Pseudorandom function, returns 0 if probabilities are supposed to be rigged
2. Set the game's probability normal to an impossibly high number (like 1e9)

[wintry solar]

number 2

[minor magnet]

i have a joker that guarantees probabilities! i did it just by setting the probability number to 7.777 since base game doesn't have any probabilities higher than 1 in 1000

[wintry solar]

number 1 will mess with loads of stuff

[plush cove]

wasnt aware of that, ty!

the bananas are no longer safe >:3

[plush cove]

👀

how's it function in-game? my Joker works by: if you sell it, it rigs all probabilities until the end of the round

[normal crest]

we really need a better way to manipulate probabilities

[plush cove]

probably (no pun intended)

[unkempt thicket]

like denominators

[dreamy thunder]

i mean naneinf is possible with chances

but you cant revert

goes -naneinf when you try

[past forge]

true

[minor magnet]

:3

[dreamy thunder]

i think you should specify it being 7777

[past forge]

Im just struggling to make the second effect, i dont even want to think about the first one

[minor magnet]

if I see any mod have something that requires higher probabilities i will raise it to 77.777

[minor magnet]

mm change the probabilities on context.individual

and set them to 1 on context.after

[dreamy thunder]

yh if scoring hand includes a blessed card increase it

[random sleet]

cryptid has a 1 in 1e8 or smthing chance

[past forge]

777.777 is prettier and better

[dreamy thunder]

afterwards decrease

[minor magnet]

true!

[past forge]

ive tried that

[past forge]

,

[dreamy thunder]

i think you should make it as high as possible without hitting naneinf

[minor magnet]

oh yeah right luckies pay out before hand is scored

[past forge]

i dont even know how to start with tha payouts

[minor magnet]

i think you should take ownership of m_lucky and m_glass and add a check for the joker in the code for their effects

[random sleet]

luckies pay out in context.main_scoring which is before context.individual

[plush cove]

my main concern with setting the probability normal to a number that's too high is that if you sell the Weighted Dice, and then somehow acquire several Oops! All 6s then the game might overflow because it doubles all the values

[past forge]

because if i manage to change the rate the mult would also trigger

[dreamy thunder]

oh yeah i forgot about it

[past forge]

probabilities are a thing outside of the hands of noobs like me

[dreamy thunder]

thats a problem

[past forge]

if you sell it wouldnt go back to 1?

[random sleet]

probabilities arent meant to be used basically

[dreamy thunder]

if your number is really high doubling it might cause a naneinf

[plush cove]

selling the Weighted Dice is how it activates

you sell it, and then all probabilities are guaranteed until the end of the round

[random sleet]

like deadass the design of them is so fragile

[minor magnet]

you can code around them

[past forge]

oh okay

[minor magnet]

wait lemme get the code for luckies

[wintry solar]

there should be a probabilities function ideally

[random sleet]

honestly it only works correctly if oops is the only probability joker

[wintry solar]

and some sort of stack of modifications to the normal value

[plush cove]

wait actually I had an idea for how I can fix it with Weighted Dice

I can combine both of my solutions

so if you sell it, it activates a G.GAME.rig_all_probs variable

and then when the hand is calculated, if that variable is set to true, THEN it sets the probability to the impossbily high number

and after it's all said and done, it reverts it again

and then that continues until rig_all_probs becomes false at the end of the round

[minor magnet]

function Card:get_chip_mult() if self.debuff then return 0 end if self.ability.set == 'Joker' then return 0 end if self.ability.effect == "Lucky Card" then if pseudorandom('lucky_mult') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/5 or SMODS.find_card("j_prefix_4leafclover") then self.lucky_trigger = true return self.ability.mult else return 0 end else return self.ability.mult end end

[past forge]

Lucky cards doesnt even have an extra ability like glass does

[minor magnet]

this should work

just change the joker id

[past forge]

in context.before?

[minor magnet]

put it outside joker code

[past forge]

or how?

[wintry solar]

you should patch that

[past forge]

like a hook

[minor magnet]

yes

[past forge]

i dont know how patches work, but thanks, il try it rn

[minor magnet]

yes it would be better actually i forgot lovely patches existed

[past forge]

if it works, now i just need to figure out the glass part

it kinda works

but is the mult triggering always and not the money

[zealous glen]

Vriska Balatrostuck and 88888888 (I don't remember what was used)

[past forge]

where did you get that code? i just need to check the money part instead of the mult

I found this:

    if self.ability.p_dollars > 0 then
        if self.ability.effect == "Lucky Card" then 
            if pseudorandom('lucky_money') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/15 then
                self.lucky_trigger = true
                ret = ret +  self.ability.p_dollars
            end
        else 
            ret = ret + self.ability.p_dollars
        end
    end

[minor magnet]

me and balatrostuck are in a loving relationship it just doesn't know it yet

[random sleet]

more like balatrostuck in development hell

[minor magnet]

ooo im sorry

[past forge]

so i should make a patch for this function true?

[minor magnet]

ye patch this its basically the same thing as the mult

[plush cove]

This solution actually worked pretty effectively!

[past forge]

okay, ill try to patch it myself

[plush cove]

And it doesn't seem to conflict with Oops

[minor magnet]

why is the rig_all_probs a global?

i don't think it needs to be

[plush cove]

because it's ALL probabilities, not just the ones in the hand you play

[past forge]

okay it works, now its just that ALL lucky cards payout

not just the four

should i add that to the patch or in the joker code?

[minor magnet]

ah, easy fix, add an " and card.base.id == 4 "

or self.base.id == 4 im not 100% sure which one works if you patch it in

[past forge]

is card defined outside of the joker?

okay ill try

[scarlet spire]

is it possible to have the options argument of SMODS.poll_seal be an exclusive list instead of an inclusive list? so I can have it be all seals except for X, instead of manually specifying every seal

[past forge]

is this one

god bless you

[wintry solar]

it's not, but it's not difficult to make a list of all seals minus some specific ones

[plush cove]

update: realized a flaw with this

I want to target all probabilities (including negative ones, like the boss blind that says 1 in 7 cards are drawn face down) but this solution doesn't really allow that, so I've reverted back to how it was before. a much simpler time

[past forge]

now ill check if i can make a patch for the glass part

[random sleet]

wheel checks the same probability as everything else

[plush cove]

unless you physically have a wheel card in you consumables area and you use it, wheel can't be rigged because the joker can only rig things after a blind has started and can't rig things after a round has ended

[random sleet]

ok im sorry

[plush cove]

dw about it, probability things are confusing lmao

[wintry solar]

what?

[random sleet]

im sorry

[wintry solar]

how does that relate to what autumn said?

[plush cove]

idk

[past forge]

so i dont think the glass works as the lucky card and it can be patch that easily since its inside a bigger function

that, or i dont know how patches work

is there any guide on lovely injecting, hooks and patches?

[minor magnet]

question unrelated to mod making but which i still believe fits the channel, is there a way not to have to manually remove my smods folder and add my smods old_calc folder everytime i want to play cryptid?

[dreamy thunder]

what about refactor branch of cryptid?

[maiden river]

bumping this

[minor magnet]

what's the event

[hushed field]

you can call calculate_context when the event happens, and give it a context the other joker responds to

[past forge]

a mod profiles mod would be dope

[maiden river]

so I have cards on the side here (weapon)
and some of my jokers react to the shots missing or hitting

[maiden river]

big

[wintry solar]

look at this lovely unscored card calculation

[past forge]

lovely? say that again?

[plush cove]

his ass is NOT SCORED 💀 💀 💀 💀

[gaunt thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/crunchy-cat-monkeycatluna-monkey-cat-luna-judging-cat-cat-judging-gif-11023608558760086053

[hearty sedge]

if you mean the old google play card it is a 1 in 8 chance of giving 1e80smt mult

[gaunt thistle]

lovely's readme is a good place to start

[past forge]

there is 1 in a 4 chance that probabilities are going to kill me today

[plush cove]

also this did give me a new joker idea in #⚙・modding-general

[unkempt thicket]

Speaking of unscored cards and lovely patches, this doesn't work with better calc what would it be now?

[past forge]

but is a glass card 1 in 4, not a wheel of fortune 1 in 4

[minor magnet]

country boys make do

[past forge]

wait what

[minor magnet]

here's the file for anyone who wants it, just put it in the mods folder

[dreamy thunder]

again, why not use cryptid-refactor ?

[minor magnet]

whats that

[stray warren]

You can copy and rename the Balatro.exe to something else and it will genereate a completely separate mod folder and save files

[plush cove]

because its still broken as hell

[dreamy thunder]

a branch of cryptid which works with better-calc

[minor magnet]

yes but i would need to have two folders with basically the same mods

[past forge]

i have like 6 folders and when i want different modpacks i move everything manually

[stray warren]

I mean, separate profiles would be two different folders with basically the same mods, so I guess I don't know what you really want

[past forge]

i just want to bump my head into a concrete wall actually

i hate probabilities :)

now the glass 4s are always breaking lmao

[wintry solar]

you can already do that

[plush cove]

ik, you'd just run through the full hand and if the card isn't scoring, you destroy it

but i did still get the idea from this

[scarlet spire]

learning the event manager is going wonderfully

[lethal mural]

hey what is the value for the ante you complete the game at

[unkempt thicket]

8

[lethal mural]

no i mean

like if i wanted to change it in a deck what value is it

[obtuse silo]

small issue with this code
it functions as intended, but when looking at it the variables only display as nil

[wintry solar]

loc_vars should return {vars = {values, here}}

[lethal mural]

oh wait is it G.GAME.win_ante

[obtuse silo]

ah, that's what i missed

[lethal mural]

hey so why does this just generate the same numbers every time

is there something im missing

it generates the same numbers every time unless i restart the entire game idk how to make it generate fresh ones each time

i wanted to make a random deck that randomizes all the values

i tried using math.randomseed and that didnt do anything either

[scarlet spire]

I'm actually not quite sure what's going on here, I have an event created under the calculate function that loops through all the cards in hand (besides the one with the beige seal) and applies a random seal. but it doesn't seem like its escaping that for

I'm trying to get this to happen after all the cards have visually finished scoring

and it works, it just doesn't finish

[past forge]

function Game:init_item_prototypes()
    self.P_CENTERS = {
m_glass =   {max = 500, order = 5, name = "Glass Card", set = "Enhanced", pos = {x=5,y=1}, effect = "Glass Card", label = "Glass Card", config = {Xmult = 2, if (SMODS.find_card("j_toyr_four_leaf_clover") and self.base.id == 4) then extra = 4}}
    }

Is this a valid patch?

i dont know how to put a condition inside a table

[normal crest]

Because that code is only run once

[lethal mural]

oh

not sure how i would be able to randomize it each run then

[maiden river]

you gotta return true at the end of the function in the event

[normal crest]

If you want to set a random value for each instance of the joker do it in set_ability

[scarlet spire]

ah, thanks

[lethal mural]

its

not a joker

its a deck

i wanted to make a random deck
