Oh oops

[normal crest]

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

[wispy elk]

I think I looked at that and just didn't read it >.>

[hasty ravine]

Wait also I just realized I forgot to add 'context' before the other two consumeable.ability.set

[normal crest]

Also you probably want your value to be saved when you go back to the main menu and continue

[wispy elk]

True

Is there a good sample of this somewhere because without any context I don't really understand how to use it

[normal crest]

This is an example from paperback

That sets a value that resets each round, if you wanted each run then do if run_start then before

[hasty ravine]

I'm not sure what the problem is now

[minor furnace]

I'm not sure what the way to dynamically update the blind's description is, but this isn't it...

        if G.P_BLINDS[self.current_blind] then
            return {vars = {G.P_BLINDS[self.current_blind].name}}
        end
    end,```

[normal crest]

Not every context has consumeablepassed to it, iirc it's only in context.using_consumeable

[hasty ravine]

I see

Thank you!

[red flower]

what's self.current_blind

[minor furnace]

        self.current_blind = self.eligible_blinds[math.floor(pseudorandom('blinds')*#self.eligible_blinds) + 1]
        print(G.P_BLINDS[self.current_blind].name)
        return
    end,```

wait I might need to do G.GAME.blind

[normal crest]

Also you want to localize that name

[sonic cedar]

oh hold on which bit

[normal crest]

localize { set = 'Blind', key = self.current_blind, type = 'name_text' }

[red flower]

the hook

[minor furnace]

this is for language options right?

[normal crest]

Yeah that will give you the localized name of the blind

assuming self.current_blind is a valid blind key

[minor furnace]

I'm going to worry about getting the functionality first and then go back and fill those details in

[red flower]

what happens if you put the print in loc_vars

also you should probably return a default value anyway

[minor furnace]

it does not print

[red flower]

maybe self.current_blind doesn't persist

[sonic cedar]

so the hook basically stores the difference between the mult before and after the flint hits it. the joker uses that difference as a factor to multiply it by ten and add it to the chip count

[red flower]

never made a blind tho

[normal crest]

self.current_blind would be putting it in the center tho

[minor furnace]

maybe this is something I can utilize?

[red flower]

from what I see searching through the server, you need to store your blind variables in G.GAME

instead of the center

[minor furnace]

hmm all right

[hasty ravine]

I see that there's a context for selling_card, is there one for selling Jokers specifically?

[red flower]

that one

[hasty ravine]

Doesn't selling_card include Consumables?

[wispy elk]

I need to figure out what hand is being discarded and what the most played hand is, but other than that my card is working. Considering I haven't written LUA is at least 15 years I consider this a major accomplishment 😄

[red flower]

yes, I think so. you need to check context.card if you want an effect that only applies when selling jokers

[normal crest]

Look at how obelisk gets the least played hand

[wispy elk]

I'd played with G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].played earlier

[normal crest]

As for what hand is being discarded, pass the list of discarded cards to G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info

[normal crest]

that will give you how many times the scoring hand was played

not the most played hand of all

[normal crest]

aka just loop throug G.GAME.hands and sort them by played

not necessarily sort, but you get the point

[wispy elk]

yeah

[minor furnace]

I'm surprised there's so little about it on the server

[rapid stag]

i know there's a way to make any joker do the little jiggle animation accompanied by a message popup, such as after their calculation func and they return... true?, from an external source outside the joker code itself, but i'm not sure how. does anyone know that off the top of their head? do i just set a message on it and call the joker's calculate func

[normal crest]

SMODS.calculate_effect({
   message = "whatever"
}, card)

card can be any card

Joker, consumable, playing card

[rapid stag]

thanks!

[normal crest]

No worries

[minor furnace]

I don't suppose an option would be to just add a field to Blind:init() 🤔

[rapid stag]

if i want to read the current debuff state of any card, will card.debuff just return that without issue or is there something better i should do? not to set, just to see whether it's currently debuffed or not

[red flower]

I don't see the benefit other than complicating your work honestly

[red flower]

that's how it's done yeah

[normal crest]

wouldn't you just want to use this

for @minor furnace

[minor furnace]

I’ll take a look at this when I’m back at my computer

[wispy elk]

@normal crest thanks for the extra info, instead of going to bed an hour ago I finished my Joker 😄

https://i.imgur.com/Q4CDPHy.png

[normal crest]

Glad to help your sleep schedule!

[wispy elk]

(values to be adjusted after playtesting)

It starts at x0 which is pretty brutal

[crystal perch]

anyone know a quick way to remove the shadow from the "soul" layer of my joker

[sturdy compass]

That'd probably involve editing the rendering code for souls. Not a very simple thing to do

Bump

[minor furnace]

I think I might have thought of a way to find the best scoring hand with my omnirank cards in polynomial time, instead of what I was doing and iterating through every permutation

Would still not be compatible with custom hand types though

[crystal perch]

another quick question, for some reason my lovely injection that i made to draw a shader on one of my jokers is not working

this similar method works just fine for consumable cards, so do i have to do something different for jokers?

[red flower]

does the patch not work or does the patch work but the code itself doesn't

regardless you should check self.config.center.key instead of the name

[crystal perch]

that doesn't seem to work either

[plush cove]

https://github.com/Eremel/Ortalab/blob/master/objects/jokers/scenic.lua

this might help?

[crystal perch]

how would i check if the patch went in at all btw, i've never had to do that before

[red flower]

what's the new code

[red flower]

mods folder under lovely/dump

[crystal perch]

i just replaced self.ability.name with self.config.center.key

i've also tried self.ability.key

[red flower]

yeah you need to check for the key

like "j_modprefix_jokerprefix"

[crystal perch]

ah ok

[rose kettle]

hey everyone just wondering what version of lua should i use (sorry if this is a stupid question im a first time modder)

[red flower]

you don't need any specific version of lua as you would probably be testing inside the game
but if you need the version anyway I think balatro uses 5.1

[rose kettle]

ok great ty

[crystal perch]

this worked btw thank you

[sturdy compass]

That's actually exactly the joker I was looking at to potentially help me make sense of things but it did no good

[plush cove]

yeah modifying card algorithms is a hot mess

[rose kettle]

also one more question any essential vscode extentions i should have other than lua itself ofc

[keen coral]

been getting a syntax error for not having a } on line 113, but that can't be right, so there must be an organization issue elsewhere. can a joker not have both a calc_dollar_bonus AND a calculate ?

[red flower]

calc dollar bonus has an extra end

[wispy elk]

^ lines 111 and 112

[keen coral]

oh that could be, lemme ditch 112's end then

[red flower]

that's all i use

[keen coral]

whelp, that was it! booted up just fine. tysm!

[rose kettle]

great thanks

[sturdy compass]

I might just ask Eremel next I see him in chat

[shell belfry]

does anyone know how to check if a card is the first card being scored

[plush cove]

check hanging chad's code

[crystal perch]

^

context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[1]) according to hanging chad

[shell belfry]

how do i see the scource code

[crystal perch]

extract your balatro game

[tall wharf]

eremel where do i sleep tonight

[sturdy compass]

The only problem he won't solve is documentation

Eremel when you ask him for documentation of his many wonderful SMODS tools:

https://tenor.com/view/gamer-girls-wait-begging-please-no-gif-12049297

[crystal perch]

how do i get these little tooltips on the right side of the card description, looked through the docs but couldn't find any good examples, i also poked around in the game's code and similarly came up dry

[hasty ravine]

What is the 'getting_sliced' context for?

[edgy reef]

We're gone from asking Aure everything to asking Eremel everything

[plush cove]

tip: for Xmult colouring, type {X:mult,C:white}

[jovial harness]

        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_glass
    end,```
It'll be the Info Queue, this should get you on the right track. Here's the info queue for having a glass pop up,

[crystal perch]

alright

[tall wharf]

i think the x is uppercase too

[halcyon osprey]

trying to make a joker that scores Xmult for all Unscoring played cards and i tbh, have no idea what i am doing lmao. I can get it to score at the end of a scoring hand mainly due to a tutorial 😭

[tall wharf]

you need to enable optional feature

[halcyon osprey]

lemme look through the docs to see that but idk what u mean lol

[sturdy compass]

Sacrificial Dagger I believe

[tall wharf]

SMODS.optional_features.cardareas.unscored = true

[plush cove]

if you purely want the number of unscoring cards, #context.full_hand - #context.scoring_hand

[plush cove]

madness also uses it

[tall wharf]

that's not documented at all

[halcyon osprey]

Do i stick this in the calculate area or somewhere else?

[sturdy compass]

I think it only uses it so it doesn't eat whatever card Dagger is going for

[tall wharf]

you put this at the beginning if your file

[plush cove]

@halcyon osprey

[halcyon osprey]

Okay Thanks!

[tall wharf]

and you check context.cardarea == 'unscored'

[sturdy compass]

No there's an actual unscoring card context now

[halcyon osprey]

Ill go try both

[plush cove]

ik but that's my alternate solution in case Ocemu doesnt want to mess with optional features

[sturdy compass]

fair nuff

[old bane]

info_queues

idk if this was already answered

[halcyon osprey]

I have like Barely any experience with Lui at all so im a big dunce here and soome of my joker ideas are probably impossible to do

[crystal perch]

yeah i got it answered but how would i insert Eternal's tooltip

like the sticker

unlike almost anything else in the game it isn't just s_eternal

[plush cove]

lua's fairly easy to pick up if you've any experience in other coding languages

[halcyon osprey]

I have alot of experience with Python but i am a bit rusty rn

[inner surge]

hey, ima wanting to get into moding for balatro, is there a place for documentation to help me get started

[halcyon osprey]

Okay, So

[crystal perch]

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

[halcyon osprey]

My card now scores Twice for every card

And destroyed them-

Unscored card i mean

[inner surge]

thanks

[sturdy compass]

What's the code you're working with?

[old bane]

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {key = 'eternal', set = 'Other'}

[crystal perch]

i'll try that out

[halcyon osprey]

again i got started with a basic tutorial but i have no clue where the cards are getting destroyed from lol

[tall wharf]

nothing is impossible

[old bane]

when do you want this to be scored? before, during, or after cards themselves are scored?

[halcyon osprey]

Is having a card that allows me to play 6 cards instead of 5 possible, i feel like ill need alotta experience (or help colonthree)

[tall wharf]

don't forget to add context.individual if you want to give mult per each scoring card

[crystal perch]

this worked thank you!

[old bane]

cause right now you just have a cardarea without a timing

[sturdy compass]

Dammit aiko beat me

[tall wharf]

it's been done at least 5 times

[sturdy compass]

Hello hi I'm one of the people who did that

[tall wharf]

:3

[old bane]

there's mods out there that allow you to play the entire deck, so it's certainly possible to get 6

[halcyon osprey]

When the Hand Scores

[old bane]

#💻・modding-dev message

[halcyon osprey]

oki

oh yeah i should make a thread for this mod soonish shouldnt i

[tall wharf]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == 'unscored' then

[tall wharf]

make it now

[halcyon osprey]

i have it the over way around lol

[tall wharf]

it's fine

[sturdy compass]

Probs when you get closer to releasing

[tall wharf]

and isn't order specific

[keen coral]

        if context.end_of_round then
            card.ability.extra.countdown = card.ability.extra.countdown - 1
            card:juice_up()
        end
    end,```

def a dumb question- everytime i do this, it subtracts 17 from the value, which is probably due to the fact that the function is being reactived multiple times during the end_of_round context. does something need to be implemented to stop this from happening?

[plush cove]

i started the mistigris thread 20 days ago and I'm still not close to releasing 💀

[keen coral]

i'm sure it's super easy but even while copying the exact code of a previous joker i made that functions i got nothin' 😔

[plush cove]

i mean functionally I think the mod is in a good place

it just doesn't have much art

[jovial harness]

It might be that you're not resetting card.ability.extra.cooldown anywhere so it just slowly grows over time

[old bane]

i've run into that issue too, i think adding context.cardarea == G.jokers could fix it. That's what i did

[halcyon osprey]

Hell yeah the card works, Visually its a bit off, but i dont care too much about that yet

[sturdy compass]

W

[keen coral]

oh word? mkay, let me give it a go

[halcyon osprey]

Okay something more complicated.. Im wanting to make a joker that scales with every diamond card that is played, and scores each diamond with said mult

[sturdy compass]

That's not too bad

[halcyon osprey]

All my current jokers have nothing in the scoring area except for the one i just did Lol

ive just been drawin

they have basic descriptions and like rarity and price and such

[sturdy compass]

By played cards, do you mean ALL played cards or just scored cards?

[halcyon osprey]

All Scored Diamond cards

[sturdy compass]

gotcha

[keen coral]

ah no, didn't work after adding it as the first line beneath function . if it's not hassle, could you drop your working function?

[halcyon osprey]

I feel like having lots of help with a feew jokers should give me a somewhat general understanding of some variables in play

[sturdy compass]

Definitely

[minor furnace]

well the variable persists now using SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals(run_start) but it doesn't update the description

[halcyon osprey]

This is the first game ive even attempted to make a mod for so im definently out of my comfort zone

[sturdy compass]

I was in the same boat as you so dw I feel ya

[old bane]

-- getting abilities at the end of three rounds
        if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers and not card.debuff then
            if card.ability.extra.rounds_left > 1 then
                card.ability.extra.rounds_left = card.ability.extra.rounds_left - 1
            else
                card.ability.extra.rounds_left = 3
            end
        end

this is an "excerpt" of the code that i use

[sturdy compass]

I wonder if it's even possible to change boss description text on the fly

[minor furnace]

yeah... there's a chance it isn't

[sturdy compass]

Sometimes things like that are weirdly static and I couldn't tell you why

[crystal perch]

i mean chicot does get rid of it as part of its ability

so its not out of the realm of possibility

[sturdy compass]

He makes it so it doesn't render in the first place I think

[minor furnace]

If that's the case then I'll need to find some other way to tell the player what blind effect is currently active lol

[crystal perch]

hovering over the joker always works

[sturdy compass]

Also thinking about it, card text with changing variables don't actually change until you move your mouse off of it and back on. Since the text isn't being "hidden" or "refreshed," it stays static

[crystal perch]

just give them a dummy joker for like information

a blank card

[minor furnace]

hmmm that feels really clunky though

[sturdy compass]

Where does the text actually get set in code?

I feel like there's gotta be a function somewhere that updates it

[minor furnace]

currently I'm trying to pass it to the description using loc_vars() but yeah I might need to call an update function or something

[crystal perch]

function Blind:set_text()?

in blind.lua

[sturdy compass]

That sounds promising

maybe try calling that when you change the effect

[minor furnace]

I'll give it a shot

[tall wharf]

maybe this is needs buffing again

[crystal perch]

mucho texto

[sturdy compass]

aiko when they have to make new cards instead of buffing the same one

[tall wharf]

I'LL ADD THE CAT

[sturdy compass]

LMAO

[minor furnace]

I definitely need to get this sorted out, because this is not the only blind I plan on implementing that has an effect that changes lol

[tall wharf]

THAT YOU DO NOT THE

[crystal perch]

side note, i'm getting an error when i try adding rental & perishable to the info queue, is there a reason this shouldn't work?

[minor furnace]

good news it totally worked

[halcyon osprey]

So, what would the variable for Suit be?

[sturdy compass]

[halcyon osprey]

context.suit?

idk

[tall wharf]

the wildcard

the wild

the any

[rose kettle]

hey anyone know where the default joker png can be found

[crystal perch]

jokers.png

in 1x

[tall wharf]

card:is_suit(suit)?

[sturdy compass]

That's not actually a context, but a function. Card:is_suit("suit") is what you're looking for

[minor furnace]

My inspiration for the blinds are the runes from The Binding of Isaac

[halcyon osprey]

where tf do i put the function 😭

[crystal perch]

i like the blank more anyways

[tall wharf]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
if other card is suit then
do your thing
end
end

[sturdy compass]

My thunder keeps being stolen

This is what I get for making fun of aiko /hj

[sturdy compass]

LMFAO

[halcyon osprey]

the minecraft observer

is crazy

[minor furnace]

although now I have an interesting issue, because the name of modded blinds are not stored in G.P_BLINDS[G.GAME.blank_blind].name, because I wind up with this

[tall wharf]

art by me :3

[halcyon osprey]

its amazing

[crystal perch]

update on this, trying to use info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {key = 'perishable', set = 'Other'} or info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {key = 'rental', set = 'Other'} just crashes the game

dunno why

[minor furnace]

this might come back around to the whole "localization" thing I've been ignoring

[shell belfry]

where is the file that has all the joker abilities in the source code

[crystal perch]

it's that btw

[sturdy compass]

Oh I know this one! Replace Joker with Blind

[crystal perch]

card.lua

[minor furnace]

thank you kindly

[tall wharf]

general tip @halcyon osprey
you should extract the game's source code for your reference

[sturdy compass]

I'd use lovely dumps instead

[crystal perch]

if anyone could help me with this i would be able to go to sleep finally

[hasty ravine]

I'm not sure what the issue is here. It gives me warnings when I remove the ends at the end

[tall wharf]

yeah but it could contain other mods n stuff so

use whatever you want

i use both

[crystal perch]

you need another end at the end

[hasty ravine]

Got it

[minor furnace]

sure enough, localization

[sturdy compass]

huge

[halcyon osprey]

i have done that and just got lost

[pliant perch]

im trying to mod balatro to add meme textures to all the sprites but im having problems figuring out how to actually replace all of the textures, ive figured out adding joker sprites by just copying the lua from another sprite replacement mod, by i have no clue how to replace every single spritesheet, im kinda more of a spriting guy so i dont understand any code 🤷‍♂️

[crystal perch]

just replace jokers.png fr

[halcyon osprey]

anyways this is wrong me thinks, it caused a crash lol

[sturdy compass]

ctrl + f in card.lua will be your best friend. Basically if you have an idea that vanilla kinda does, you can use it as reference

[sturdy compass]

replace Card with context.other_card

[halcyon osprey]

which card

[crystal perch]

the uppercase one

[tall wharf]

WTF JONKLER

[halcyon osprey]

Also this isnt gonna be adding mult to the joker its just going to score all diamonds with x1.25

[tall wharf]

also hamsterball enjoyer omg

[pliant perch]

omg yes

[sturdy compass]

In that case replace Xmult_mod with Xmult

[tall wharf]

btw malverk is usually better for texture pack stuff

[halcyon osprey]

okay this time i didnt crash but scoring a diamond card, did nuthin lmao

[sturdy compass]

Did you do this?

[halcyon osprey]

just did now so lets see

[rose dragon]

is there a way using debugplus to summon a blind?

[minor furnace]

Surely it is easier to just patch in a condition to match for this custom blind into every condition like this in blind.lua instead of hard-coding all of them in manually to my blind

[halcyon osprey]

yeah no function

[pliant perch]

yes, ive made a lot of jonkler cards by now aswell lol

[sturdy compass]

Press 3 on the blind in collections during the blind select screen iirc

[tall wharf]

i love jonkler

[halcyon osprey]

wanting to be like first diamond is x1.15 second 1.3 and just keeps going without resetting kind of thing

[tall wharf]

oh

you'll have to store that inside card ability

[pliant perch]

thanks, ive also made some deck sprites

[tall wharf]

then you add it

in the ifs

[halcyon osprey]

how do i do that?

[pliant perch]

just need help getting the deck sprites ingame, ive already got the jokers in

[tall wharf]

you can look at my mods for example

[halcyon osprey]

bwah

[sturdy compass]

before the return, do card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + 0.15. You should also probably change the initial Xmult to be 1

[tall wharf]

https://github.com/Aikoyori/Vocalatro/blob/main/Vocalatro.lua

[halcyon osprey]

im curious if its the fact i capilised diamond or smth lol

[tall wharf]

also u don't really need prefix_config = { key = false }, i had that when i was replacing the original sprites

[sturdy compass]

It's not that. I just realized you forgot the final 's' in 'Diamonds'

[halcyon osprey]

buh LOL

[tall wharf]

but you'll have to prefix atlas with your mod prefix

[sturdy compass]

Suits always refer to plural form

[rose dragon]

how can i flip played cards back up when playing a hand?

[tall wharf]

flip it again

[rose kettle]

what context would be played hand contains no hearts

[rose dragon]

yeah but how do i do that?

[tall wharf]

loop through hand then check for each

[sturdy compass]

bruh you're so fast 😭

[tall wharf]

card flip

[halcyon osprey]

Astra and Aiko be fighting on whos quicker

[rose dragon]

the stay_flipped function? how do i tell if it's being played or not?

[tall wharf]

sorry I'm not that fast

[halcyon osprey]

ty for the help btw!

[sturdy compass]

https://tenor.com/view/ssj-goku-meta-cooler-dragon-ball-z-gif-12948835

[tall wharf]

I'll check

card.facing == "back" i guess

sorry I'm on phone i can't check a lot

[halcyon osprey]

well hell yeah got 2 workin

[tall wharf]

i love art

[sturdy compass]

On another random note I see that on your profile

[tall wharf]

and i love coding because it makes my art alive

[halcyon osprey]

see wha

[sturdy compass]

porter face

[tall wharf]

also I'm not British

[halcyon osprey]

:3

[sturdy compass]

I know what you are...

[minor furnace]

e g g

[halcyon osprey]

Oh yeah with my general ideas for my jokers i was thinking with some sort of balances..

another one i have, is i want it to Lock the first played Poker hand for as long as you have the card, and score x5 mult

so like, you play a flush, you can ONLY play a flush until the joker is gone

[tall wharf]

fucked up in the crib listening to Port Robin

[sturdy compass]

POTARO IS FUCKIN DEAD

[sturdy compass]

For something like that I'd take a look at the code for The Eye boss

[halcyon osprey]

i should open up the balatro stuff shouldnt i lmao

[sturdy compass]

It will help immensely

Take a look in the lovely folder in your mods folder. There should be code dumps there that show you what it looks like at runtime after modification

That's the easiest way to view if you don't wanna open up the exe for some reason lol

[crystal perch]

i have two localization file questions:
1: how do i call modded localization entries for tooltips via info_queue
2: how come info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {key = 'eternal', set = 'Other'} works but info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {key = 'rental', set = 'Other'} and info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {key = 'perishable', set = 'Other'} crash the game

[sturdy compass]

To answer 1, it should be the exact same as normal

[halcyon osprey]

is that all there is for the eye, im gonna search deeper

[crystal perch]

that just doesn't work i have e_chak_ignited as an entry in the en_us localization file but calling info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_chak_ignited does nothing

[halcyon osprey]

oh i found more

[crystal perch]

check blind:debuff_hand

[halcyon osprey]

yeah

found it

[rose dragon]

how can i get the list of played cards (using G)

[crystal perch]

it just returns ERROR

1st pic is the en_us file, 2nd is main.lua, 3rd is in-game ofc

[sturdy compass]

Oh this is an edition, I see

I'm not as familiar with this, sorry

[edgy reef]

Edition, not Editions

[sonic cedar]

hehehehe

[crystal perch]

changed it to Edition and it crashed

[halcyon osprey]

i dont know where to stick this, i thiiink i have this right though?

[old bane]

i tried doing rarities with consumables because i wanted certain consumables to be rarer than others (because there are straight upgrades for my consumables) and i kept on getting my default consumable whenever i would get that type of consumable. Did something change about SMODS.ConsumableType that made it impossible to use rarities? If so, is there an alternative method?

[sturdy compass]

Unfortunately I think this idea requires a bit more work than you might think

[halcyon osprey]

whuh oh

[crystal perch]

i'm just gonna sleep on this and hope it magically fixes itself

[sturdy compass]

I believe you may have to make a patch for it

[edgy reef]

Forgor that this isn't how edition tooltips are handled, pass the whole edition center in.

[halcyon osprey]

that for me?

[sturdy compass]

yes

[crystal perch]

i tried that and it returned nothing

[halcyon osprey]

oh god, how do i do this 😭

[crystal perch]

info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_chak_ignited just don't work

no error or anything

[rose dragon]

bump

[sturdy compass]

That's a bit more advanced as it involves using Lovely to modify vanilla code. I'd stick with some simpler jokers for the time being. Your idea is definitely possible, just might need a bit more experience to execute it

[edgy reef]

Does your edition even exist?

[crystal perch]

yeah

[edgy reef]

This is supposed to work (since this is how vanilla functions)

[halcyon osprey]

so ill hold off doing this one then for now

[sturdy compass]

I'd recommend that

[crystal perch]

wait let me reorganize some things around

[sturdy compass]

Unless you wanna dive headfirst into patching

but that's up to you

[minor furnace]

writing a patch is easy. knowing what to patch is hard

[sturdy compass]

^

[halcyon osprey]

If i can get the help then sure LOL

i feel like alot of ideas i got are way too out there for my small brain

[crystal perch]

yeah still nothing'

[sturdy compass]

Here's a bit of required reading to start it off
https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector?tab=readme-ov-file#patches

[nova finch]

this is probably a stupid question but how do I check if played hand isn't a certain hand (high card in this situation)? I put this in but it doesn't work

[tall wharf]

no need for the message

[crystal perch]

proof it exists

or wait

one second

[tall wharf]

i think i have an idea on how this could be implemented

the lock to hand

[halcyon osprey]

bwa

[crystal perch]

i fixed it it was a case sensitive issue, i usually write everything caps first but i wrote e_chak_ignited instead of e_chak_Ignited

[nova finch]

anyone that can help?

[tall wharf]

context.poker_hand ~= "High Card" ?

[marble flint]

for future reference, right now you're checking if the played does not contain a high card

[nova finch]

oh ok

[halcyon osprey]

what do u think could be done?

[minor furnace]

I'm looking at the code for blinds, and I'm realizing that if I have a custom blind method defined, it will not execute the rest of the function. So in addition to highjacking every blind's condition to also match The Blank, I think I also need to patch out the return of every single one of those functions that I have defined for this blind

[sturdy compass]

oh god

[minor furnace]

it's either that, or I hard-code in every one of their effects into the code for my blind

and at this point I don't know which option is better

[random sleet]

whats your blind

[edgy reef]

Copies random blind every hand iirc

[minor furnace]

yeah

[random sleet]

oh i get the problem yeah

[edgy reef]

Last I remember making an effect like that is was about as scuffed as this is.

Altho this was 0.9.8

[random sleet]

you could maybe try having the blind object invisible or off screen somewhere and run code through it

[tall wharf]

add card ability and put it as null then once you play with this card in check if that's null if not then set that to current poker hand name but if it's not null then check if that is the same as current hand if it is then return xmult = 5 but if it's not the same then don't do anything

sounds mouthful

[halcyon osprey]

[tall wharf]

pants

[edgy reef]

Either that or make a table with all the compatible blinds containing all the functions that should be evaluated.

[sturdy compass]

That doesn't really "lock" the hand type into being played though

[edgy reef]

Sorta like my D6 Joker code.

[tall wharf]

oh they want it to "lock"

[sturdy compass]

yeah

[minor furnace]

I do already have a list of the compatible blinds written up

[tall wharf]

I'll look at the source

[sturdy compass]

Kinda like reverse eye

[minor furnace]

I may have cooked a little too hard with this one lmao

[random sleet]

isnt mouth reverse eye

[sturdy compass]

...yeeeeeees

Whatever the case, I have an idea for tackling it

Tho it would involve a patch

[minor furnace]

so like, create a global to hold the secondary blind?

[rose kettle]

idea name it toe

[tall wharf]

hmmmm

[sturdy compass]

I'm looking in state_events

[tall wharf]

me when i X0 at the end

[sturdy compass]

I could totally write up this patch easy peasy but I don't wanna ruin a learning experience lmfao

[tall wharf]

true

[rose dragon]

is there a way to add a permanent calculate function that doesnt require you to have a voucher/joker/consumable?

[minor furnace]

oh, I might be able to do something like G.P_BLINDS[G.GAME.blank_blind]:press_play() inside of my modded blind's function 🤔

if I init a copy of the blind like Autumn said I think this approach works

[halcyon osprey]

Ill read the essay thingy in a sec, though i probably will need help

one question with the patch is, will the game be normal if i disable the mod?

[sturdy compass]

Yes

Also dw it's not really a big scary essay

[halcyon osprey]

any reading is scary

:3

[sturdy compass]

mood

[rose dragon]

cantread

[tall wharf]

yes

I AM SLOW waaaaa

ASTRA BEAT ME TO IT

[sturdy compass]

HA

[halcyon osprey]

okay well with my diamond scaling one, I want it to list things correctly, I want it to have Add +15 to jokers mult and list the current xMult

[tall wharf]

[halcyon osprey]

i have no idea what to do with desc stuff lol

[sturdy compass]

Hmmmmm

[halcyon osprey]

it will list it as Adds x1 mult, and then adds x1.15 and so on

[sturdy compass]

it adds x0.15, not x1.15. That would be a very strong joker if the latter was true lmao

[halcyon osprey]

thats what it is listing

it adds 0.15 i believe, each diamond gets scored as x1.15 then x1.3 and such

very fast scaling

[minor furnace]

and now I need to figure out how to create a Blind object for the blind I want

[halcyon osprey]

i want the desc to be

Each scored Diamond card, Adds x0.15 mult to this joker and score the diamond card
(Currently at [total mult])

[sturdy compass]

Try this

text = { 
            'For every scored {C:diamonds}Diamond{} card', 
            'this card gains {X:mult,C:white}X0.15{} mult and', 
            'gives {X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} mult'
        }

[opal spade]

why "for every scored card" instead of "This Joker gains <> when a Diamond card is scored"

?

[sturdy compass]

It doesn't really matter either way tbh

[halcyon osprey]

just a desc can always be editited later, but thankies

[sturdy compass]

yuppers

[tall wharf]

development resumes tomorrow

[sturdy compass]

https://tenor.com/view/simpsons-bart-gif-19916469

[halcyon osprey]

your art is amazing

[minor furnace]

this is a real line of code, written in the real game

[tall wharf]

3 of them are still placeholder

also

the notebook sprite is not mine

i will not claim it as mine

[plush cove]

(giggle)

[tall wharf]

it was @frigid flame who offered to draw for me

[sturdy compass]

Maximus teaser
(I'm the coder not the artist)

[minor furnace]

why would you write it this way?

[halcyon osprey]

my current thing, and io have 5 more to draw atm lol

[tall wharf]

JS dev mindset

[tall wharf]

i do pixel art because i want it to at least fit the game kinda

maimai

this does not work on macOS because the patch doesn't work

[plush cove]

Please do not the cat

[wise crown]

I added an extra “do” in my mind

[halcyon osprey]

i can quickly write a quick thing for the not done cards stuff

oh it

changed the numbers on me

[tall wharf]

hmmm

[tall wharf]

hmmm

hmmmmmmmmmm

[halcyon osprey]

1 and 10 got done

[halcyon osprey]

woag

[minor furnace]

not only do I need to instantiate it, I also may need to patch something to make sure it doesn't call any of its functions...

[minor furnace]

development will resume tomorrow

[tall wharf]

development resumes tomorrow

[sturdy compass]

I already sent the gif. You only get it once

[tall wharf]

i know

[halcyon osprey]

😭

yeah fair none of my ideas are truley original

[sturdy compass]

There’s nothing wrong with that

[tall wharf]

like 5 different mod does the same hand selection thing it's fineee

all i ask for is for everyone to agree on the same thing

[halcyon osprey]

also like woah though

[tall wharf]

maybe it should even be in steamodded

[old bane]

me too (i have a joker that guarantees all probabilities on flushes, but in order to make it work i just made game probabilities * 9999 lmao)

[tall wharf]

debugplus helps you debug

[halcyon osprey]

i think many things should be there

o i have thatr

[tall wharf]

fabric vs fabric api

[halcyon osprey]

i got the debugplus so i can test my cards

[tall wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-the-rock-nijika-nijika-bocchi-the-rock-bocchi-the-rock-gif-nijika-btr-gif-27231010

[halcyon osprey]

Im assuming you had to do that whole patch thingy to get the extra card i assume

[tall wharf]

yes..

[modern kindle]

Don't worry I did this exact thing recently too

[sturdy compass]

You’ll learn sooner or later

[faint yacht]

Feel like the values could be split off to the extra pop-up of info_queue to not clutter description.

[tall wharf]

it's ok everyone does it apparently

i believe info queue does not support loc vars

[modern kindle]

The more things change the more they stay the same, worry not

[tall wharf]

i could be wrong

[faint yacht]

It does, actually.

[plush cove]

my ideas are the only original ones

name one other mod that has a banana factory joker

[tall wharf]

huh

[modern kindle]

Mine tomorrow

[plush cove]

[tall wharf]

just like my mod development resuming

it will resume tomorrow

[modern kindle]

Oh hey my mod is developing also, just tomorrow

[tall wharf]

welcome to the development resumes tomorrow gang

[plush cove]

mistigris is going to be open source except for the banana factory joker which will be closed source and protected by armed guards

[modern kindle]

Too late, I'm already in your source

[old bane]

mfw i tried adding an info queue for an extra ability a joker had but i wasnt able to add chances so i just said “this joker has a chance to” lmao

[sturdy compass]

You’re breaking Thunk’s rules smh my head

[halcyon osprey]

okay im looking at the patch thingy and im both like, okay this looks, okay, but then im also just lost as per usual LOL

[faint yacht]

info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = {key = "toga_kartjokerlist", set = 'Other', vars = { card.ability.extra.add_shop, card.ability.extra.add_shop*8 } }

[plush cove]

he would agree that banana factory is too sacred

[tall wharf]

waow

ill fix that

[old bane]

damn no excuse now for me

[plush cove]

what about my ultra gambling card

[sturdy compass]

the tl;dr of the tl;dr is it’s a tool that allows you to search for lines or blocks of code within vanilla and lets you add around or modify them

[old bane]

what are you using to keep track of your jokers btw

[modern kindle]

I have one that pays you for every time the wheel of fortune fails instead does that count

[plush cove]

custom google sheet

[plush cove]

wheel of hope in cryptid:

[modern kindle]

Yea i also use Google sheets

[modern kindle]

I'm sorry the what

[halcyon osprey]

i see i see

[old bane]

oh same mine just doesnt look that good

[modern kindle]

Oh thank God it's just mult

Mine gives 5 bucks

[rose dragon]

rig wheel of fortune to never work

Malicious

[modern kindle]

I was about to explode

[plush cove]

my google sheet is excellent

[old bane]

mfw i come up with an idea only for it to come from another mod 😔 (it was +50 chips)

[modern kindle]

All i know about cryptid is its apparently huge and does tons of wacky shit but I haven't dug into their shit much aside of learning how to di the extra hand select

[modern kindle]

Me when I discovered other people did the +4 uno card

[halcyon osprey]

i feel like im gonna mess something up 😭

[sturdy compass]

The basic synopsis is “What if the game is horrendously unbalanced?”

[plush cove]

the linked image:

[sturdy compass]

The worst thing that can happen is a crash. There’s no shame in trying

[old bane]

if u mess something up it only crashes and wont fully mess up your game. the injection only happens during runtime and never “truly” modifies the exe file

[sturdy compass]

Like this happened to someone earlier

[modern kindle]

Makes sense enough
Do they have the 100000000 mult card yet cause I gotta create the x100000000 mult card that has a 1 in 100 chance to proc and if it procs rolls another 1 in 50 to insta lose the run

[tall wharf]

my name is GlobalThonk

[halcyon osprey]

i would assume whatever patch i want to do would be at the start of the code, but the thing is, i have no clue what i am doing with this patch- my goal is to have a joker lock a hand, and another to +1 playable slot, but got no clue How to do that

anyways brb

[tall wharf]

and today i will present my creation

Ballertro

[plush cove]

FUCK YOU, CURSE OF JIMBO!!!!!!!!!!

[modern kindle]

Dear freaking HEAVENS

[sturdy compass]

Dude I was laughing for so long when I first saw it

[tall wharf]

LMAO

[sturdy compass]

Like
That’s 100 jimbos in a SECOND

[plush cove]

swashbuckler and abstract joker would go insane

[tall wharf]

+400 mult goes crazy

curse card

fill your joker slots with eternal jimbos

[plush cove]

you would need 100 sacrifices to deal with that

[sturdy compass]

I think swash would faint

[tall wharf]

i love ankh

chat what if

temperance

[plush cove]

$20!!!!

[tall wharf]

50

[sturdy compass]

Nah that’s hermit

[plush cove]

$50!!!!

[tall wharf]

❓

[sturdy compass]

Wide

[plush cove]

new Joker idea:
1 in 4 chance to give x100 mult
1 in 64 chance to crash the game

/j

[sturdy compass]

He wanna be cryptid so bad

[plush cove]

i do want to include some sort of cross-mod compatibility with cryptid but i am currently unsure how that'll manifest

[modern kindle]

Hear me out
Joker that win game 🏆

[sturdy compass]

Heh
Good luck

[tall wharf]

❤️

[modern kindle]

What if I eated it
Then what

[pliant perch]

legendary joker reskin

[tall wharf]

you get netherite poisoning

jonker

[modern kindle]

Why he look like that

[sturdy compass]

Not the nether virus oooooooh mah gawdddd

[modern kindle]

Lowkey chat
I could take some netherite poisoning
Only lowkey tho

[sturdy compass]

Man Netherite really was 5 years ago huh

😭

[pliant perch]

hes the chuckler

[tall wharf]

yes.

bro boutta add jackbox guy to the game

[modern kindle]

We need the chunkler

https://tenor.com/view/balatro-cavendish-legion-gif-8420881169267566310

i will go insane

ill code a new joekr

[plush cove]

i think the only special combo I've intentionally programmed into my mod is Banana Factory and Showman

[sturdy compass]

Crowned Joker will outclass Cavendish

[plush cove]

but will it outclass unstable atom

[sturdy compass]

Guh

[modern kindle]

I think my only ones that are specifically designed to work together are my debt cards and debt collector
I've discovered when you have the ability to go to -320 in debt having a mult of x192 isn't too bad

[pliant perch]

here they are ingame

theyre amazing

i wonder who else to make a legendary joker

[modern kindle]

Make yourself as one :)

[pliant perch]

):

[modern kindle]

You'd be an awesome joker trust...

[halcyon osprey]

okay am back

[sturdy compass]

wb

[modern kindle]

Heh....hi back 😎

[halcyon osprey]

so how do i make a joker perish

[plush cove]

tell it to

[sturdy compass]

Usually the start_dissolve() function

[halcyon osprey]

like this, i assume not lmfao judging its a different colour

[sturdy compass]

Nope

[halcyon osprey]

I want it to destroy itself after it scores

where would the start disolve go?

[plush cove]

put it right before the return

and also the card = card is entirely unnecessary

[sturdy compass]

The implementation is a bit more involved than just plopping it down somewhere

[plush cove]

actually dont do this

[tall wharf]

:3

[sturdy compass]

I once again very much recommend keeping a reference to the vanilla code up. I’ve made 70-something jokers and I still do this lmao

[plush cove]

do this

if context.post_joker then
  card:start_dissolve()
end```

[sturdy compass]

I forgot post_joker exists but yeah that’s exactly what you want

[plush cove]

my main reference points are:

• vanilla
• Cryptid
• Ortalab

sometimes I look at other mods too, but those are the main 3

[sturdy compass]

Cryptid is one if my main references too

I should look at ortalab more tbh

[plush cove]

i have also "borrowed" a lot of functions from JenLib

lmao

[modern kindle]

I'm very much on a "fuck it we ball" mentality and just stare at source code until it works
I should start glancing at other mods more

[sturdy compass]

It’s a lib for a reason

[plush cove]

true

[sturdy compass]

There’s no shame in it. Open source is open source for a reason

[plush cove]

this is one of the few that I didn't steal from JenLib

[modern kindle]

I've had this big mentality that I'm worried I'll see someone else's code and be like 'what a sick idea, ill use it for myself'
And i know taking other people's code is fairly bad practice

[tall wharf]

this is barely better

[sturdy compass]

Not necessarily

Just credit the source

[modern kindle]

That's fair ye
I'll probably start doing that

[plush cove]

this is how I do that in my mistiutils file

[tall wharf]

i mean

[sturdy compass]

I can’t believe you actually got that monster to look clean

[pliant perch]

legendary joker number 2

[tall wharf]

i mean i tried okay

[pliant perch]

why cant i use my art skills for something productive lmao

[modern kindle]

That actually looks alot better than I expected it to, well done

[sturdy compass]

Nah I’m saying it looks good now and that you did well

[tall wharf]

wait why is it X15 chips

[plush cove]

i love going in and putting comments on my MistiUtils file despite the fact that it's a local object and I will never be able to actually access the comments while i'm using it 😃

i just always have to have it off in a separate window

[tall wharf]

oh wrong variable

makes sense

[modern kindle]

I comment just about everything just so I know wtf I'm doing half the time
If I don't comment then 3 days later I'm sitting there scratching my head going

[tall wharf]

there we go

[plush cove]

if you understand what you're writing decently enough, you don't really need to comment as much

[tall wharf]

monster card

[pliant perch]

tada

[tall wharf]

wtf real

[modern kindle]

I got that short term memory loss as a gift from the military so I gotta comment

[tall wharf]

adding hamsterball into balatro because i love

[modern kindle]

Adding -hamster-

[plush cove]

adding ball

[pliant perch]

i should replace the hamster ball in hamster ball with jimball

[edgy reef]

https://tenor.com/view/overwatch-hammond-wrecking-ball-gif-1131153133291760769

[pliant perch]

its much easier to mod than balatro

[tall wharf]

😭

[plush cove]

balatro is easy to mod once you figure out the basics of steamodded and lua

[random sleet]

steal my code

[tall wharf]

2002 game being easy to mod is

a lie 😭

you need raptisoft tooling n shit

[pliant perch]

nah dude you just gotta go to the appdata folder for it and replace the sprites

[halcyon osprey]

so, how to determine how the card dissolves lmao

[modern kindle]

AYE AYE CAPN

[tall wharf]

to convert levels from obj to meshworld n shit

[pliant perch]

ah are you reffering to coding

oh yeah

i dont do that shit

[edgy reef]

Don't

[tall wharf]

texture modding literally same thing

[pliant perch]

i just do sprite replacements for tons of games

[pliant perch]

nah

texture modding you just replace a file

[tall wharf]

you can just open up balatro.exe and replace the file in it if you wanna go that route

[pliant perch]

well yeah but how do you re pack it into an exe

ive tried doing it

[tall wharf]

you don't

[pliant perch]

doesnt work

exactly

[tall wharf]

you just open the exe in 7zip

and replace the file in it

not recommended but you can do it

[random sleet]

its a zip file pretending really hard its an exe

[sturdy compass]

Check for the function definition in common_events.lua or misc_functions.lua

[pliant perch]

i cant seem to replace pngs in just the zip

[sturdy compass]

I forget which file it’s in

[tall wharf]

like

[sturdy compass]

Or actually is it in card.lua???

[pliant perch]

unless thats just a problem with winrar but i dont like 7zip

[random sleet]

it should be in card.lua

[tall wharf]

open exe as archive 7zip

[sturdy compass]

Blegh it’s too late for this

[random sleet]

Card:start_dissolve

[tall wharf]

😭

7zip is literally free

[random sleet]

winrar doesnt work

[pliant perch]

why not recommended

[pliant perch]

so is winrar

[modern kindle]

Winrar is also 'free'

[rose dragon]

it does

[tall wharf]

you can also use https://github.com/M2Team/NanaZip

[pliant perch]

oh nice

[random sleet]

not to repack the exe

i recall this coming up before

[pliant perch]

yeah i dont think 7zip does either

[random sleet]

idk why people hate lovely/steamodded theyre literally right there

[modern kindle]

I will say steammodded seemed very daunting to me initially

[halcyon osprey]

i found a bunch of things that say Dissolve but they are like spectural cards

[modern kindle]

Now that I've been in it though I love it

[halcyon osprey]

dissolve seems to be a shader or something

i just want the joker to die after it gets used TvT

[edgy reef]

it is

[tall wharf]

did you know that 郵便局 means post office?

[sturdy compass]

Search specifically for function card:start_dissolve

[random sleet]

capital Card

[sturdy compass]

That should give you a better idea as to what variables it takes

[halcyon osprey]

my brain

[pliant perch]

alr yeah you cant save png's into a zip file

you can save txt but not pngs

[tall wharf]

meow

[plush cove]

i've actually got a .luarc file (that I borrowed from paperback and made a few tweaks to) that includes other APIs as libraries so I can see what the functions do without going into the code directly

[random sleet]

oh i gotta fuck with dissolve_colours more

[tall wharf]

idk my irl friend got that working so

[pliant perch]

well shit

guess i just got a skill issue

[tall wharf]

do you just want to make a malverk texture pack

[pliant perch]

malverk means what

[tall wharf]

because that doesn't have you replacing shit in exe

[edgy reef]

Yeah that param exist, gets pretty results.

[tall wharf]

malverk is basically a mod that adds

this screen

[pliant perch]

wow

ah

and that does what

[tall wharf]

it adds api so you can make texture pack

[pliant perch]

oh cool

[random sleet]

bpbsyuri release date when (on platforms that can be used)

[tall wharf]

僕のMODじゃない

[pliant perch]

i kinda wanna have it in its own thing, i may want to code some extra shit it, i probably wont but itd be nice to have the option

[random sleet]

aikoyori where the fuck are we

[tall wharf]

i meant to say not my mod but mac keyboard buggy

so i just type japanese

[pliant perch]

mac keyboard so buggy you just spoke another language lmao

[tall wharf]

no i just type japanese before else

i was typing japanese sorry

anyway

[halcyon osprey]

i gained headache so i probably will try figuring out on how to make a joker die after a hand tomorrow

[tall wharf]

development resumes tomorrow

[wintry solar]

This is hours later but if this is supposed to tell you when your mult decreases why aren’t you just checking if the value provided to mod mult is less than 0?

[plush cove]

@wintry solar yo astra needs some help with this

[halcyon osprey]

getting crashes every time 😭

[tall wharf]

what happened

show code

don't just copy code

btw

[halcyon osprey]

well thats my issue there LMAO, idrk what from it to get, but i had the self.remove part and it didnt recognize it

[tall wharf]

card:remove()

[plush cove]

change all mentions of "self" to "card"

[halcyon osprey]

Ooh

this stuff is confusing

Lmao it just vanished, and it scored after dissapearing thats funny

[tall wharf]

🔥

you might want to put the remove in context.after

[plush cove]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua

check the gros michel example here

[tall wharf]

oh you want it to die at end of round

[halcyon osprey]

i want it to die after hand

[tall wharf]

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

:3

[halcyon osprey]

well i can get it to die after hand but still it dies visually before it scores

eh isnt the biggest deal i suppose

[pliant perch]

ronald is here

[tall wharf]

wtf mr Ronald McDonald

[pliant perch]

idk who else to make the legendary jokers

[tall wharf]

clown car from mario idk

[pliant perch]

thats a good idea for a different joker

oh i knpw

i gotta do the og cartoon joker

[tall wharf]

(i never watched)

[pliant perch]

eh i havent seen much of it but its classic

[halcyon osprey]

well, no clue how to create a copy of one of my custum jokers, but i can copy standard ones

[tall wharf]

maybe look in the invisible joker code?

[halcyon osprey]

i mean like

Create a Negative copy of a card at the end of a round.. Invis might help yeah, i assume i use my key for the joker right?

[tall wharf]

yes

but you'll have to prefix the key with your mod prefix

in the json file

[halcyon osprey]

i dont have a json file

😭

[tall wharf]

the thing on top of the mod file

[halcyon osprey]

Oh that

So, would my thing be like prefixkey or prefix_key?

[lucid sun]

trying to make a reverse obelisk, gains xmult if hand played is not least played hand, however, getting a reset on every hand played. have tried fiddling around with <= rather than >= and it says error instead of upgrade. tried looking at other mods that use least played hand and dont see what im doing wrong 😦

[halcyon osprey]

i think whatever tutorial i found on youtube, it sucks lol

this isnt negative either, but the tutorial was copying just standard jokers

[tall wharf]

can you show me the beginning of your mod file

[halcyon osprey]

bwa

[tall wharf]

fots_key

fots_Joker Key Here

[halcyon osprey]

maybe its key at the front too.. no clue lol

[plush cove]

swap the "resets" and replace "~= context.scoring_name" with "== context.scoring_name"

[tall wharf]

i think the front would just be joker?

[halcyon osprey]

o

im doopid then i just assumed it was the cards name

[plush cove]

and replace "play_less_than" with
local play_more_than = (G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].played or 0)

[halcyon osprey]

still crashing

[tall wharf]

what's the crash

[tall wharf]

hmmmpj

try G.jokers

lowercase j

[halcyon osprey]

also how would i enhance the card when created?

same crash

[tall wharf]

hmm

show code of joker that you want to create rn

also card:set_edition({negative = true})

[halcyon osprey]

SMODS.Joker{ key = 'burger', loc_txt = { name = 'Juicy Burger', text = { 'Scores {X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} mult for First hand Played,', 'Perishes once Scored.' } }, atlas = 'Jokers', rarity = 1, cost = 2, unlocked = true, discovered = false, blueprint_compat = true, eternal_compat = false, perishable_compat = true, pos = {x = 2, y = 2}, config = { extra = { Xmult = 3 } }, loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center) return{vars = {center.ability.extra.Xmult}} end, calculate = function(self,card,context) if context.joker_main then return { card = card, Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult, message = 'X' .. card.ability.extra.Xmult, colour = G.C.MULT, card:remove() } end end }

[tall wharf]

okso

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

[halcyon osprey]

gwuh

[tall wharf]

actually

local card = create_card('Joker', G.jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil, 'fots_burger')

this should be correct but idk

[faint yacht]

Going off of description and also noticing some things...

1. calculate = function(self, card, context)
2. return { vars = {card.ability.extra.Xmult} }

if context.joker_main and not card.ability.extra.scored then
  card.ability.extra.scored = true
  return { x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult }
end

if context.after and card.ability.extra.scored then
  card:remove()
end

[plush cove]

SMODS.create_card({set = "Joker", area = G.jokers, key = "fots_burger"})

[tall wharf]

ah

SMODS has create card function

👍

[tall wharf]

@halcyon osprey

😔

she dissolved into the ocean again

[hushed field]

My best bet for wanting to transform a consumable into another is just to destroy one and create a new one, right? I was considering copy_card but I think I'd have to spawn a dummy item for that to work

[halcyon osprey]

i just had dinner

[tall wharf]

sorry 😔

[halcyon osprey]

why u apologising?

[plush cove]

we're so sorry to hear your brother passed away, he gets five big booms

[halcyon osprey]

where abouts would i throw in negative?

[tall wharf]

also card:set_edition({negative = true})

[halcyon osprey]

in the same line as the creation?

[tall wharf]

no

another line

[plush cove]

put local c = right before SMODS.create_card, and then do
c:set_edition({negative = true})

[tall wharf]

yeah

in this case you can use local card = SMODS.blahblahblah

[plush cove]

no because card overlaps with the card in calculate

[tall wharf]

don't you have to emplace the card in the area

[tall wharf]

ah

makes sense

I'm dumb

[plush cove]

in that case you'd replace "create_card" with "add_card"

[halcyon osprey]

it wont do it waaaaghh

[tall wharf]

smods has had this function the whole time and noone told me

[halcyon osprey]

for the burger creation card

burger card

btw the burger still gets deleted before the game scores it but its visual only, it gets scored and goes

[plush cove]

before card:remove do G.jokers:remove_card(card)

[halcyon osprey]

lucky i have a save point to test the burger and the fast food card

still crashing

its screaming about a Center constantly

[halcyon osprey]

this

[plush cove]

try making a new save

[halcyon osprey]

y'know what, fair point im probably using the same data as before

same thing again

[tall wharf]

ok maybe it's the metadata issue

maybe you added spaces somewhere

what I'm saying is that you should put mod metadata in json

[halcyon osprey]

i shall do that right now

[tall wharf]

idk much about the file header format

[plush cove]

    G.E_MANAGER.add_event(Event({
        func = function()
            G.jokers.remove(card)
            card:remove()
            return true
        end
    }))```
try replacing card:remove() with this

[halcyon osprey]

it crashed on the burger card this time

is it possible fots is taken?

[plush cove]

i made a typo

change G.jokers.remove to G.jokers:remove_card

@halcyon osprey

[plush cove]

put the (card) back in after remove_card

so it's
G.jokers:remove_card(card)

[halcyon osprey]

oki

i also changed my prefix

[plush cove]

have you also changed it in wherever you reference your jokers?

[halcyon osprey]

crashed on Event

[plush cove]

change the . right before "add_event" to a :

[halcyon osprey]

Burgers get destroyed at the right time, Crash on copy

back to 'Center' [a nil value]

[tall wharf]

lower case center?

[halcyon osprey]

yeah

[tall wharf]

show code

[plush cove]

is "fotsocemu" your entire prefix?

[halcyon osprey]

changed it to that cause i thought fots could be used alr

[plush cove]

change "create_card" to "add_card"

[halcyon osprey]

same thing

also made a .json file

[tall wharf]

remove everything before the mod code part

[normal crest]

A joker key is prefixed with j_

[halcyon osprey]

im wanting to copy one of my own jokers

[normal crest]

All jokers are prefixed with it

j_modprefix_key

[halcyon osprey]

THATS TOO MANY BURGIES

Hey it works!!

[tall wharf]

ah

[halcyon osprey]

so, how to make it go only once 😭

Im getting too many

[normal crest]

if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval then

[tall wharf]

burgers for everyone

[halcyon osprey]

yep

[plush cove]

starvation is solved

[halcyon osprey]

im

gonna get some blueprints

How many

can i have

[tall wharf]

many

[plush cove]

would you rather have unlimited burgies but no games

[halcyon osprey]

OMG

[plush cove]

BORGAR

[halcyon osprey]

I like the concept of the burger, its A common that grants x3 for first hand, The fast food chain kinda improves it and makes it viable for use and such

[tall wharf]

single use Cavendish

[halcyon osprey]

Perfection

[halcyon osprey]

yeah

[tall wharf]

I'm going to add joker based on this song https://youtu.be/zh-4M5blbiI

[halcyon osprey]

gonna try running an actual run with my 4 working cards

I think the next one i think could be easy is the every 6 rounds, turn one joker negative

i dont have showman...

i assume all i need is a

allow_duplicates = false,
