no worries

[clear epoch]

but most of the time loc_vars should be enough

[clear epoch]

and loc_txt

it does indeed tell you what's inside each joker XD

[wise jungle]

Very fair lmao
I'm just trying to poke and prod (and probably know how can i restart balatro without closing and opening the game itself) as so far it still doesnt work

[clear epoch]

that along with message returns are also ways i debug while modding

[normal crest]

I recommend getting debugplus

then you can inspect anything during the game

using the console and eval

[wise jungle]

i do have it

[normal crest]

while ingame just open the console and do eval G.jokers.cards[1] for example

and everything in the joker will pop up

might be a bit overwhelming since there's a lot of UI stuff

[wise jungle]

im witnessing KNOWLEDGE

[sullen fern]

i don’t really exactly get the point of me downloading vscode

like i know its better but

[wise jungle]

it annoyingly doesnt list all of the values though, just lists bunch of stuff and then goes +14 more values

[minor magnet]

managed to make this work

[wintry solar]

I’d recommend using eval dp.hovered.whateveryouneed and hovering over the card when you press it over specifying a card

[normal crest]

try doing eval inspect(G.jokers.cards[1])

[sullen fern]

it’s probably not gonna tell me anything about why my game’s crashing when i try to use my joker

[minor magnet]

pasting it in case anyone needs to do anything similar in the futur

[normal crest]

that will show all the keys in the table

but only 1 layer deep

[minor magnet]

function Card:add_to_deck(from_debuff)

    local suit_jokers = {"j_greedy_joker", "j_lusty_joker", "j_wrathful_joker", "j_gluttenous_joker"}
    local have_jokers = {}
    for i = 1, #suit_jokers do
        if self.config.center.key == suit_jokers[i] then
            for m = 1, #suit_jokers do
                if m ~= i then
                    if next(SMODS.find_card(suit_jokers[m])) then have_jokers[m] = suit_jokers[i] else have_jokers = {} end
                end  
            end
        end
        if #have_jokers == 3 then
            check_for_unlock({ type = "colorful_jonk" })
        end
    end

[hushed field]

ay, instead of update, I can hook into cardarea:set_ranks, I reckon, and not do this update consistently 😄

[normal crest]

I didn't know that

[wise jungle]

no wonder you have a wizard emote you are a wizard...

[sullen fern]

everything should be fine but it just spits out….

[normal crest]

it will not, but it will help you with syntax errors and proper formatting

[clear epoch]

i mean that's what the error message is for

[wise jungle]

HELL YEAH
thank you so much y'all

as it turns out its supposed to be ability, not config

[sullen fern]

table index is nil.

[normal crest]

Why do you send such a little snippet

There is more stuff in the crash log

send all of it

[clear epoch]

this is a canon event in learning how to mod this game

[wise jungle]

yeah pretty much LMAO

there really should be a documentation about this, like even when looking at the balatro code itself it seems to suggest that its config

[clear epoch]

there's the examples wiki

[normal crest]

i'd say update your steamodded first, if that doesn't fix it, remove all other mods and try only with yours

[clear epoch]

but there's like 2 mods out of all of them that show you some of the important basics

[normal crest]

config is held in the center, which is basically the base of a card

once a card is actually created, the config in the center is copied to the card's ability

[neat plover]

i wanna make a joker that adds hand size for every hand remaining, but reset it at when starting blind

i cant seem to figure this out

[sullen fern]

didn't work

[wise jungle]

oooooh, i seeee

[normal crest]

same crash?

[sturdy compass]

I think this idea is dead. I keep learning piece by piece how the get_straight function works and I lose morale each time lol

I'll keep the code around but that felt horrible

[sullen fern]

i removed all of the mods besides thrills and chills and

[minor magnet]

how do y'all get sentence highlighting for lovely patches on vscode?

[sullen fern]

it worked

[sturdy compass]

Even Better TOML extension

[wintry solar]

I wish toml files would style my payloads as lua too

That would be amazing

[minor magnet]

thank you!!!

[neat plover]

someone tell me wtf is hapening, its drawing enough cards, but the max hand size is fucked up

[tall tangle]

Realistic hand size be like

[neat plover]

is this the right variable?

[sullen fern]

i may have an outdated version of cryptid

[neat plover]

:sadtrombone:

[sullen fern]

or it may just be cryptid itself

becaus ehwen i have cryptid enabled the game crashes when i try to use fun is infinite

[clear epoch]

i don't think you should change that directly, use G.hand:change_size(arg) instead

note that arg is not the amount you set the size to, but the amount you increment it with

see if this works

[sullen fern]

okay, cryptid was the problem

i got the new version of cryptid and it worked

[wintry solar]

Show the rest of the code

[hushed field]

it's visually a nothing burger currently, but damn I'm happy I got this working

[neat plover]

changed it up, but now it removes hand size when starting a turn

variable names are broken because im completely lost

[onyx sonnet]

trying to figure out how to create a dagger-esque joker that returns dollars instead of mult, doesnt seem to be doing anything at the start of a blind

[hushed field]

the getting_sliced variable is really only there to stop jokers from triggering, as far as I understand, but it doesn't actually get checked by the game to see if the joker should be destroyed

[sturdy compass]

G.jokers.cards[i] should be checking for card, not self

[hushed field]

oh yeah, never mind, i completely read over the return statement

I should go to bed, haha

[onyx sonnet]

thank you!

but it doesnt seem to be destroying the "sliced" card still

[keen coral]

can the G.hand:change_size() function be used anywhere, such as within a joker's function?

[onyx sonnet]

it does gain the sell value tho

so thats a step forward

[primal shoal]

guys am i dumb ````
calculate = function(self, card, context)
-- Check if a Jack is being played to set the flag
local is_jack
if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual then
if context.other_card:get_id() == 11 then
print("IS JACK")
return {
is_jack = true
}
else
return {
is_jack = false
}
end
end
-- Check if a face card is in hand and the last played card was a Jack
if context.cardarea == G.hand and context.individual then
if is_face(context.other_card) and is_jack then
return {
x_mult = self.extra.Xmult,
message = "X1.5",
card = card
}
end
end
end

[onyx sonnet]

ill try using dissolve instead of destroy

[dreamy thunder]

change any self. with card.

[neat plover]

nvm im onto something

[hushed field]

Does the destroy context actually iterate over the jokers at all? 🤔

[onyx sonnet]

already fixed that and the selfs didnt have to do with the joker not being destroyed, dissolve worked wonderfully tho

[dreamy thunder]

oh i see

[onyx sonnet]

well i would assume so since jokers are treated as cards but apparently not

[dreamy thunder]

i didnt realise i was using dissolve as well 💀

[brisk pond]

function UTIL.createJoker(args) -- (key, edition)
  G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event{

What do you think?

[sullen fern]

time to work on making a joker that creates consumables when a three of a kind is played

[chrome widget]

Okay yeah I tested it to be sure, I'm on the most recent version of SMODS, no mod is active except DebugPlus, and Verdant leaf just doesn't debuff anything by default

I guess I'll try to update DebugPlus and Lovely too to make sure

[frosty dock]

why no SMODS.add_card

[brisk pond]

when I wrote this function, it didn't exist

is it on the wiki?

[frosty dock]

yes

[hushed field]

yeah, but contexts are called for cards within a card area. The wiki at least doesn't mention G.jokers as being iterated over in that context

[frosty dock]

it literally does what your function does but more

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

[sullen fern]

okay, there we go

looking through the runner 2 code

if context.before and next(context.poker_hands['Straight']) seems to be what the context should be

of course 'Straight' should be 'Three of a Kind'

of course, i also need to put in the code for creating the consumables

[chrome widget]

Okay, can confirm, most recent lovely and debugplus also results in this issue. I've seen it occur without debugplus active while playing "vanilla" with SMODS, so it's gotta be an SMODS thing. Only test left would just be to get it in complete vanilla (since the recent friends of jimbo update came out), but I see recent reddit posts talking about Verdant Leaf with no reference to it being bugged

[tall tangle]

me beating Black stake with Face Card build

Fuckin mobile goddammit

[brisk pond]

when a Joker is not debuffed anymore, it calls Joker:add_to_deck(from_debuff = true)?

[normal crest]

yes

[brisk pond]

k

[sullen fern]

so lanpan needs to
create three consumables when a three of a kind is played
then self destruct

[timber marsh]

does anyone know how to fix this? my game wont load anymore

[chrome widget]

You're attempting to index an atlas just named "centers". Do you have files named centers in your jokers/1x and jokers/2x folders?

[sullen fern]

now i need to figure out how to create a consumable

i mean
have the joker create a consumable

[hot drift]

Had a silly idea for a modded joker

• Gives +mult equal to the total Jokers in your collection, but has a 1 in (total Jokers in collection) chance of appearing in the shop

[clear epoch]

it's pretty silly indeed, but in reality it might just be a stupid strong joker that is about as rare as an uncommon at most

[topaz sun]

ante 8

[hushed field]

and done, now I just need to tie it into the actual card functionality rather than a hotkey, but that's barely any work

[hasty ravine]

I'm not sure what's causing this issue

[clear epoch]

send langer screenshots please, more context needed

[normal crest]

"Spades"

[hushed field]

you're passing through a variable named Spades, but is_suit needs just needs a string

there's also no need to add 'true'

[hasty ravine]

Wait this is the wrong card

[hushed field]

ah well, i guess if you're bypassing the debuff you do want to ofc

[timber marsh]

i don tthink so?

[sullen fern]

looking through the perkeo example

[hasty ravine]

I'm still getting the issue

[frosty dock]

what's your exact smods version?

[sullen fern]

local card = copy_card(pseudorandom_element(G.consumeables.cards, pseudoseed('perkeo2')), nil)

[restive bronze]

is there a way to change what the final ante is?

[sullen fern]

this is specifically a random consumable from your list of consumables but i'm sure i can change that

[chrome widget]

I opened an issue about it with all my info. I'm on 1.0.0~ALPHA-1425c-STEAMODDED, so a few commits behind recent?

I think trunk/main is 1428c

[minor magnet]

posted first build of my mod on the threads :]

[sullen fern]

probably by replacing copy_card

[graceful magnet]

is there a way to change a card's edition without using card:set_edition, because I think this would be considered mildly obnoxious

[wintry solar]

Pretty sure this was fixed on the 26th

[hasty ravine]

Wait, I see the issue. I forgot the ipairs

[chrome widget]

Cool. I thought I pulled recent about an hour ago but it looks like there was an issue with my git so I was mistaken that I was posting for the most recent version

Okay now I'm on 1428, I'll test it again and delete the issue if needed, my mistake

[clear epoch]

i mean the brute force way would be by changing card.edition

[chrome widget]

Yep, fixed now. Works fine!!

Issue closed

[clear epoch]

buuuuut set_edition does have a silent argument that blocks the animation when set to true

so maybe you might just wanna do that instead

[graceful magnet]

oh yeah sweet, thanks

[chrome widget]

I have noticed one other minor bug with SMODS, which is that Mail-in Rebate, when copied by Blueprint or Brainstorm, plays all the money easing and sounds on Mail-In itself, rather than individually on it and each of the copy cards

Which I don't think is its vanilla behavior

that i confirm is still true as of 1428c

[main mica]

what happen to spamton D:

[clear epoch]

i've actually noticed that one too, i thought my ears were just trolling me

[graceful magnet]

he's just like that

[hasty ravine]

The card successfully made a random card negative, but nothing is happening after this. Did I forget to include something in the event?

[dreamy thunder]

return true

[hasty ravine]

Ah

Thank you

[main mica]

Is there a way to get a list of all Jokers (including injected ones) before init?

[graceful magnet]

is there a list of new contexts available somewhere?

[main mica]

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

[sullen fern]

how would i make a joker create 3 consumables

or just like
a consumable in general

not just 3 of them

[normal crest]

Before init? your mod would have to be the last to run

[main mica]

Works for me

[graceful magnet]

doesn't have stuff like context.starting_shop yet which is what I want, I'd like to see what other new contexts there are

[main mica]

oh mb

lol i patched in a starting_shop myself

[normal crest]

to my knowledge the only new context is starting_shop

[plush cove]

me when the context is starting_shop!! 😳

[graceful magnet]

so if I wanted to make something add another card to the shop, that'd be my best bet probably?

[tepid crow]

same lmao

[main mica]

and not blueprint!! 😳

[sullen fern]

then!! 😳

[main mica]

define add another

Im assuming starting_shop works like reroll_shop in the sense that it happens after pooling

so if you want to mess with the shop itself you're gonna have to patch

but if it's something like adding an additional card that yeah

[graceful magnet]

yeah

[wind arch]

fully functional™️ modpack manager

[hasty ravine]

I see that SMODS has has_enhancement for enhancements. Does has_edition work for editions? I don't see anything for it on the SMODS wiki

[chrome widget]

What is the difference between G.play.cards and G.playing_cards?

[normal crest]

G.play is played cards in a round

G.playing_cards is the entire deck

[chrome widget]

okay, latter is entire deck, which is what I need

Does that include cards that have been taken out of the deck via being drawn, or just the current state of the deck

[normal crest]

You can do card.edition and card.edition.<modprefix>_<key>

[normal crest]

Current state of deck is G.deck.cards, G.playing_cards is the full deck

[chrome widget]

Cool, thanks!!

[graceful magnet]

huh that

was easy, but like obviously it's not quite working right

[hasty ravine]

Like this?

[normal crest]

No

edition is a table

[hasty ravine]

Oh, I see

[normal crest]

if you want to check that it's not negative you can do not G.jokers.cards[i].edition or not G.jokers.cards[i].edition.negative

you might want to store G.jokers.cards[i] in a local variable to avoid repeating it so many times

[restive bronze]

is there a way to change what the final ante is?

[graceful magnet]

is G.shop a thing at all? Right now I'm just using the Rare Tag code which uses context.area, which obviously here defaults to the Joker slots, so I'd like to change that to the shop

[normal crest]

G.shop_jokers is the area you want

[graceful magnet]

sweet, and like set_edition is there some function to set a stick like Eternal/Perishable/Rental?

[plush cove]

I've got this code, which adds a Joker of a specified key to the shop. The only downside is that the items available in the shop are always huddled close together

But that's not an issue in my use case since the Jokers I use this for are meant to replace shop items, not supplement them

and this function is probably flawed anyway

[graceful magnet]

well now it's in the right spot but you can't buy it and you can move it around completely freely

[plush cove]

did you emplace it?

[graceful magnet]

right!

there we go

now the other part of it, need to figure out how to get the sticker on it

[minor furnace]

is there not an ease hand size?

[plush cove]

there's change_shop_size but that's permanent

[minor furnace]

also that was unrelated to any previous messages

[sullen fern]

what do i do in order to make a joker create a consumable

[minor furnace]

in the calculate function you can create a conditional for whatever context you want it to make the card in

[sullen fern]

i already have that

if context.before and next(context.poker_hands['Three of a Kind']) then

[red flower]

I think modify_scoring_hand is not there either?

[chrome widget]

Ugh I'm making change to edition code that's probably not going to be good for compatibility in the long run. But fuck it, we ball. I will fix it later

[minor furnace]

card:add_to_deck()
G.consumeables:emplace(card)```

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card is better

[minor furnace]

fair point

any time I've created cards so far I've just copied and modified existing code from the base game, but using the smods features is probably better

[plush cove]

question somewhat related to the above: currently I have this function, which replaces a Joker in the shop with a new one

what'd be the best way I can make a version of this that doesn't replace the Joker, but also accomodates for the incerased spacing so the items aren't all clustered together?

[red flower]

I have one but it replaces the joker too

it does keep the spacing

[sullen fern]

to be honest i'm not too familliar with everything smods has

[red flower]

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

[sullen fern]

so it would be SMODS.create_card(t)

[red flower]

depends if you want to automatically add it to the area or not

[red flower]

add_card does basically this

[plush cove]

is that any more efficient than the function I wrote lmao

[red flower]

t should be a table

[red flower]

i just patch create_card_for_shop and do what the rare tag does

joy_create_card is a list of cards to create that my jokers write to

[primal harbor]

if i have a question about a glitch while launching is this where i need to be?

or i guess the game crashing isn’t much of a glitch lol

[red flower]

yes, does it show a crash screen

I'm assuming you're modding

[red flower]

what kind of consumable are you making

[graceful magnet]

interesting behavior when there's more than 1 of them

[sullen fern]

any

it's a random one

[graceful magnet]

they each make one and kinda clear the previous one

[red flower]

you need to give it a set, I'm pretty sure

so you might need to use pseudorandom_element to get the set name between tarot planet and spectral

or something fancier if you want modded consumables

[graceful magnet]

okay they each make one but then the last one kinda overrides the others

[sullen fern]

what about modded sets though

[red flower]

there should be an SMODS table with all the consumables registered

idk how its called tho

[sullen fern]

i don't want to have to account for every single modded set

[normal crest]

SMODS.ConsumableTypes for types

SMODS.Centers and check if center.consumeable for cards

[sullen fern]

how would i do that

[red flower]

take this with a grain of salt

local choices = {}
for k, _ in pairs(SMODS.ConsumableTypes) do
    table.insert(choices, k)
end
local set = pseudorandom_element(choices, pseudoseed("anything"))
SMODS.add_card({ set = set or 'Tarot' })

[sullen fern]

lets just see if this works

[restive bronze]

is there any way I could change what the final ante is?

[normal crest]

the choices should be empty to being with

Tarot, Planet and Spectral are in SMODS.ConsumableTypes

[red flower]

oh are the regular ones there too

edited

[sullen fern]

it worked

it only creates one at the moment

[topaz sun]

guys, how do I add a shader to a stake's sprite (like gold stake)?

I cant find the source code for the gold stake shader

[primal harbor]

this is what my mods folder looks like, is this correct?

[sullen fern]

when i want it to create 3

[topaz sun]

Looks about right, yeah

[primal harbor]

undefined label

here’s the error again

[red flower]

for i = 1, 3 do
    local set = pseudorandom_element(choices, pseudoseed("anything"))
    SMODS.add_card({ set = set or 'Tarot' })
end

you might want to check if you have room, unless you don't care

[topaz sun]

It's probably a problem with Reverie. Send the crash log here https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1226234529413468190

[primal harbor]

ok, thanks for the help, any other suggestions for mods to try out?

[sullen fern]

yeah i may want to have it check for space

but first, making the card self destruct

[topaz sun]

There are loads of awesome mods. CardSleeves, Bunco, UnStable, Paperback, Extra Credit, Plantain, Neato Jokers, Buffoonery (my own shameless plug here). The most famous one is obv Cryptid, though

And there are many more. These are just the ones I use all the time

[main mica]

bump

[sullen fern]

this should be easy

right?

[graceful magnet]

yeah just go find the Example Jokers stuff in SMODS documentation and look for the example Gros Michel

[graceful magnet]

I appear to have created Jokers that when bought are both part of the shop and your Joker slots

okay they're stable if there's only one of them

so I need to put safeguards in to make sure this card cannot be duped

[sullen fern]

this part of gros michel

[graceful magnet]

yep

[sullen fern]

well

[normal crest]

do if context.before and context.main_eval and ...

[graceful magnet]

is context.other_card valid inside of context.selling_card?

[sullen fern]

ayyy

it worked

[plush cove]

you'd just do context.card

[normal crest]

it says right there that the card being sold is context.card

[plush cove]

beat you to it

[normal crest]

damn it

now i gotta retire

[red flower]

hi did you know you need to use context.card as outlined in the amazing smods docs

[graceful magnet]

in my defense when the main calculate function has card in it and the context uses card to not necessarily be the same thing, I may want to check to see what it's looking at

like a 2 would do so much for clarity

[red flower]

yeah I think some of it can be confusing

[sullen fern]

i wanna do something i've wanted to do for a bit

making a new consumable type

and a new seal

i don't think that's the problem

the game crashes

[graceful magnet]

well you can't init something that doesn't exist

[brisk pond]

what am i initing?

[sullen fern]

ah... yes, time to make something.

[graceful magnet]

args is looking for istant because you misspelled instant

it is trying to initialize a function it does not have

[red flower]

that's not a function

[graceful magnet]

well, not like function function

[red flower]

it shouldn't crash, that's not the problem I just wanted to point it out

[brisk pond]

I changed to instant

still crashes

[sullen fern]

now i need to make the self destruct seal

[brisk pond]

it should just return nil, not crash

[red flower]

just saw the problem
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event{
func = function()
return message(eval)
end
})

[graceful magnet]

that's... odd

I don't know what changed (nothing did) but for some reason, when the game isn't paused, Polychrome, Negative, and Eternal seem to just vanish from the randomizing

[brisk pond]

please elaborate

[red flower]

you're missing add_event

[brisk pond]

oh yeah

[red flower]

are those the last values on their respective lists?

[brisk pond]

thanks

so i was initing the E_MANAGER

[graceful magnet]

first actually

(this is all handled in update, shoulda had that in screenshot)

[red flower]

does pseudoseed return a number?

i didnt know that

[graceful magnet]

between 0 and 1 yeah

[red flower]

I use pseudorandom

[graceful magnet]

but it was properly randomizing between all values earlier

so I stopped touching the update code

[red flower]

i don't see anything wrong with it so I might try pseudorandom

[graceful magnet]

okay I cobbled together dogshit code that fixes it, now back to the more pressing issue

this code works fine when there's one Conman

if there are multiple, the cards that get created become glitchy and that's an issue, what'd be a way to circumvent some of these issues

[sullen fern]

seal creation in progress...

[plush cove]

"MODS.Atlas"

[sullen fern]

fuck

i suposse i should replace local selfdestruct = with SMODS.Seal

now, for the thing that the self destruct seal is known for. giving +5 mult and +150 chips

oh and also making cards go boom

[slender mango]

iterating through pairs(SMODS.PokerHands), why are some hands missing (pair, flush, straight)

[topaz sun]

Bump

[red flower]

weird

[slender mango]

this is what i have

[sullen fern]

first of all, applying the mult

[plush cove]

off-topic but which IDE/theme is that?

[red flower]

I'm just doing this

[slender mango]

vscode with github dark

[slender mango]

huh that works

[sullen fern]

and the chips, don't forget about the chips

[rose dragon]

hey same

(not vscode tho)

How can I change the X (in the base hand score preview area) to a different symbol? I've patched in this code which lets me access it

,mult_symbol = self.HUD:get_UIE_by_ID('mult_x_symbol')

(patched into G.hand_text_area)
but how do I visually change the text and the text colour?
-# I patched in the ID "mult_x_symbol" to the symbol.

[sturdy compass]

Holy shit built-in SMODS card bonuses are finally real

[sullen fern]

so...

i need to make the card have extra mult and chips

and i also need them to be destroyed when scored

[red flower]

where did you patch it so I can check the structure?

[rose dragon]

here are the two main patches i used

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = 'functions/UI_definitions.lua'
pattern = '''
{n=G.UIT.T, config={text = "X", lang = G.LANGUAGES['en-us'], scale = scale*2, colour = G.C.UI_MULT, shadow = true}},
'''
position = "at"
payload = '''
{n=G.UIT.T, config={id = 'mult_x_symbol', text = G.GAME.mult_symbol or "X", lang = G.LANGUAGES['en-us'], scale = scale*2, colour = G.C[G.GAME.ui_mult_c or "UI_MULT"], shadow = true}},
'''
match_indent = true
times = 1

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = 'game.lua'
pattern = '''
blind_spacer = self.HUD:get_UIE_by_ID('blind_spacer')
'''
position = "after"
payload = '''
,mult_symbol = self.HUD:get_UIE_by_ID('mult_x_symbol')
'''
match_indent = true
times = 1

[red flower]

Instead why don't you patch it to a ref_table so you can change it dynamically?

Instead of text = "X" you do something like ref_table = G, ref_value = "x_symbol"
And then you change G.x_symbol

[rose dragon]

i'm not experienced with ref_tables? how do i do that? is it just:

{n=G.UIT.T, config={id = 'mult_x_symbol', text = {ref_table = G, ref_value = "x_symbol"}, lang = G.LANGUAGES['en-us'], scale = scale*2, colour = G.C[G.GAME.ui_mult_c or "UI_MULT"], shadow = true}},

[old bane]

wait fr? bonus mult on cards fr?

[red flower]

no, you replace text = "X" entirely by what I wrote

here's a guide https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/UI-Guide

[sullen fern]

where are seals located in the balatro source code

[old bane]

unfortunately they're kind of all around in card.lua, but CTRL+F "seal" and the respective types should help

[plush cove]

i dont care if the text = "X" i'm still calling it twitter

[red flower]

so true

[old bane]

text = "twitter"

[sturdy compass]

Yep. No more needing to patch that in. Finally no more duplicate bonus mult implementations

[old bane]

yippee (i would put the emoji here if i had nitro)

[hasty ravine]

I only want a condition to happen if all cards in the played hand are spades. Is there something wrong with my for loop?

No matter what I play, it always thinks theres no spades in my hand. I know this is whats happening because when I switch it to 'true' it works for all hands I play

[red flower]

G.hand is the held hand

[hasty ravine]

OH

OHHH

I see

[old bane]

G.play is the played hand

[hasty ravine]

Thank you

[sullen fern]

balatro source code is all over the place

[red flower]

you also have context.full_hand and context.scoring_hand

[sullen fern]

i don't even know where the red seal code is

[old bane]

context.retrigger could be a start

[old bane]

oh repetition

[old bane]

i got the two mixed up

[sullen fern]

wait
how does the seal apply the mult

wait fuck

FUCK

[red flower]

you mean the enhancement?

[rose dragon]

works now, how can i change the colour of the symbol?

[sullen fern]

fuuuck... thats not how red seal works

is there a seal that gives mult to a card

probably not

[old bane]

there's an enhancement

and an edition

[sullen fern]

hm

would that work for seals

[old bane]

seals have their own calculate function so i think that you can definitely make it so it gives mult

[hasty ravine]

Oh also, for events is there a way to add like a buffer before the next card's effect triggers?

[sullen fern]

but how is the question

[old bane]

there's a specific context for seals that you can use in there, and then just

return {
  mult = card.ability.extra.mult
}

[red flower]

this might be wrong but I thing you need to add func = "function_name" to the config and then do something like

G.FUNCS.function_name = function(e)
    e.config.colour = G.C.GREEN
end

maybe G.UIT.T doesn't take func tho

and you might need to put it on the parent

[sullen fern]

wait, there's a seal context?

[old bane]

well, seals, enhancements, and editions. its context.main_scoring

[sullen fern]

oh...

if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then

[old bane]

yes

[sullen fern]

so ihave the mult
the chips won't be far behind

so i may have to specify the chips and mult

but this is a start

[old bane]

yeah there should be like a config in seals where you can set that kind of stuff?

[sullen fern]

it’s probably the same as the jonkler

[frosty dock]

seal config gets put into card.ability.seal

[sullen fern]

do i replace card.ability.extra with card.ability.seal

[plush cove]

why is the background white

all I did was put this in my localization

how can I make the background not white

[red flower]

SMODS.current_mod.description_loc_vars = function()
    return { background_colour = G.C.CLEAR, text_colour = G.C.WHITE, scale = 1.2 }
end

[plush cove]

ty

[red flower]

maybe it should be the default tbh

[random sleet]

art's always by Gappie but nobody every asks how's by Gappie

yeah that was pretty weak i'll work on it

[red flower]

Gappie where art thou

[old bane]

how's "by" Gappie

[plush cove]

that looks so much better

[red flower]

add a card to the bottom like this

[old bane]

yu-gi-oh!!!!!

[old bane]

i think that should do it, might wanna test it tho

[sullen fern]

but the values are gonna be nil

if i don't specify them

[old bane]

you have to set them in the config

not a file but like an array in the seal

[old bane]

yes

config = {mult = x, chips = x}

[chrome widget]

are edition values storied in card.ability like with other centers?

[sullen fern]

i need to clear out the loc vars because i took the seal code from the pokermon silver seal

[frosty dock]

edition values are stored in card.edition

[chrome widget]

annoyed and confused, then

[old bane]

source code go brr

[chrome widget]

I'm basically attempting to have editions act as other editions (a legendary that makes all editions act as Holo, Foil, and Polychrome in addition to their regular effect (barring overlap ofc), and this should be enough to do it, but by the time calculation comes, all values except the edition's default ones are reset

if card.edition.holo or card.edition.foil or card.edition.polychrome or card.edition.negative then
    card.edition.holo = card.edition.type == 'holo' and true or multi_editions
    card.edition.mult = card.edition.holo and G.P_CENTERS.e_holo.config.extra or 0
    sendDebugMessage('mult: '..card.edition.mult)
        
    card.edition.foil =  card.edition.type == 'foil' and true or multi_editions
    card.edition.chips = card.edition.foil and G.P_CENTERS.e_foil.config.extra or 0
    sendDebugMessage('chips: '..card.edition.chips)
        
    card.edition.polychrome =  card.edition.type == 'polychrome' and true or multi_editions
    card.edition.x_mult = card.edition.polychrome and G.P_CENTERS.e_polychrome.config.extra or 1
    sendDebugMessage('x_mult: '..card.edition.x_mult)
end

[sturdy compass]

Enhancements are the new suit

[old bane]

a part of me wants to say it might be easier to just have one new edition that is like all the other editions but idk

[old bane]

me with my joker that makes 5 stone cards a flush

[plush cove]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[sullen fern]

bulwark? what's that?

[sturdy compass]

I took the cryptid placeholder pill lmao

[old bane]

i love placeholders !

[plush cove]

sorry to hear that you got fired @deft bane

[sturdy compass]

NAHHHHH

[plush cove]

fire all balatro artists, replace them with placeholders

[deft bane]

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-sonic-the-hedgehog-bruh-shut-up-didnt-ask-gif-26173232

[sturdy compass]

Five Golden Rings isn't his tho

[old bane]

"four calling birds"

[sullen fern]

the seal doesn't show up...?

[old bane]

you need a sprite for it

unless you already do

[old bane]

can you see it in the collection?

[sullen fern]

no

[old bane]

hm

are you sure you loaded in the mod properly

[grim remnant]

out of curiosity, since the docs aren't clear, how do we make some calculations (like for scaling or decaying variables depending on certain factors) not trigger with blueprint? just and context.no_blueprint on the if statement?

[random sleet]

and not context.blueprint

[grim remnant]

ah, that makes sense.

[old bane]

weird

i've never seen that before

[sullen fern]

did i do the code wrong?

[old bane]

i don't think so

[sullen fern]

    name = "selfdestruct",
    key = "selfdestruct",
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Self Destruct Seal',
        text = {
            "{C:red}Card is marked to explode!{}",
            "{C:mult}+#1# Mult{}, {C:chips}+#2# Chips{}.",
            "Card {C:red}self destructs{} after{C:attention}being scored{}."
        }
    },
    badge_colour = HEX("FF0368"),
    config = {mult = 5, chips = 150},
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue)
        return { vars = {card.ability.seal.mult, card.ability.seal.chips} }
    end,
    atlas = "atlasseal",
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.seal.mult,
                chips = card.ability.seal.chips
              }
        end
    end
}
)```

[red flower]

i love changing things nobody is going to see

[slender mango]

how can i get the starting chips and mult of a specific hand

[chrome widget]

G.GAME.hands[hand].s_mult and G.GAME.hands[hand].s_chips

[sullen fern]

is there anything wrong here

because at first glance there doesn’t seem to be anything

becuase i have NO IDEA why the seal isn’t appearing

and i don’t want to have to redo everything

[old bane]

hmm

[sullen fern]

i guess i gotta redo it

nvm

i figured out what was wrong

never fucking mind!

why does it not work

[steady smelt]

is there a way to put custom jokers in the middle of the joker list? just adding order = 120 to the joker definition doesn't work

[red flower]

It goes by creation order afaik

[sullen fern]

the seal SHOULD appear so

[plush cove]

hotel? trivago!

[steady smelt]

is there a way to reorder them or change the order after the fact then?

[red flower]

I don't think so, unless you play to hook the collection functions

[sullen fern]

i have no idea why it isn't showing up

[steady smelt]

i know you can reorder the suits

[sullen fern]

like it has no reason to just

not be there

I CREATED YOU

[steady smelt]

i did

table.insert(SMODS.Suit.obj_buffer, 1, table.remove(SMODS.Suit.obj_buffer, #SMODS.Suit.obj_buffer)) -- Sort suits
table.insert(SMODS.Suit.obj_buffer, 1, table.remove(SMODS.Suit.obj_buffer, 1))

to put my custom suit last, idk why it works though i pulled it from somewhere else

so idk how to apply that to jokers

[sullen fern]

insert that one hercules "I OWN YOU" gif here

[red flower]

oh then idk maybe there's something like that

[red flower]

how are you loading that file

[red flower]

if you put the debug message on the file does it print

[red flower]

does that mean it does or it doesn't

[sullen fern]

hold on

i forgot to save the main lua file

okay,

it just doesnt.

other is a folder that exists

and seals is inside of it

[red flower]

can you screenshot it

[sullen fern]

wait. why is it saving seals to the jokers folder.

vscode, you silly goose.

that's not where it goes!

you silly sausage, you had me running in circles!

and i can now say with complete honesty that hovering over a card with the seal crashes the game

[red flower]

you're missing card in loc_vars

[sullen fern]

same error but now its local

instead of global

[red flower]

never made a seal so i dunno

[nova finch]

Is it possible to make a card not score at all?

[paper comet]

Does anyone know what I need to put in to make it only trigger on glass cards? Currently it does it for every type of card

[sullen fern]

why is the game crashing when hovering over a card with the seal

i thought i did everything right

[nova finch]

i would use SMODS.has_enhancement, in this case SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_glass")

[paper comet]

ok ill try it now 😄

[red flower]

in which context?

[sullen fern]

it has the correct sprite now at least

still crashes when i hover over a card with it though

[nova finch]

I wanna make a joker that has a chance to not score a card at all

[red flower]

if context.modify_scoring_hand then
       return {
           remove_from_hand = true,
       }
end

the card is context.other_card

[dusk night]

Hey, I wanted to see if I could make a better keyboard control mod, and one thing I think would make it better is if it could stick little reminder overlays of the key for certain UI elements, the same way it works when you play with a controller (like putting a little "x" over the "play hand" button). If anyone already knows where/how in the code this is done, you could probably save me a lot of effort.

[rapid stag]

ok, so i have a joker that increases its xmult every time a wheel of fortune fails (the functionality is based off the one in cryptid) and for whatever reason, if it's being copied by a blueprint/brainstorm, each wheel fail will do the xmult increase an extra time for how many blueprints/brainstorms are copying it, even though i don't tell it to do so in the loc_vars function. all the loc_vars function does is return the joker's xmult vars? i don't understand what's going on here i don't want blueprint/brainstorm to make it increase multiple times. am i misunderstanding something about what blueprint/brainstorm does fundamentally?

[lavish lake]

Guys what's the image for the vertical joker overlay? I already found the base card in the game files but cant find the vertical joker overlay image

[red flower]

blueprint/brainstorm copy everything in calculate, you need to explicitly tell it not to

[dusk night]

fwiw, I think the code which creates the "View Deck" overlay when you hover over the deck in the round view is at cardarea.lua:390 or so, and looks like:

            self.children.view_deck = UIBox{
                definition = 
                    {n=G.UIT.ROOT, config = {align = 'cm', padding = 0.1, r =0.1, colour = G.C.CLEAR}, nodes={
                        {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", padding = 0.05, r =0.1, colour = adjust_alpha(G.C.BLACK, 0.5),func = 'set_button_pip', focus_args = {button = 'triggerright', orientation = 'bm', scale = 0.6}, button = 'deck_info'}, nodes={
                            {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", maxw = 2}, nodes={
                                {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = localize('k_view'), scale = 0.48, colour = G.C.WHITE, shadow = true}}
                            }},
                            {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", maxw = 2}, nodes={
                                {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = localize('k_deck'), scale = 0.38, colour = G.C.WHITE, shadow = true}}
                            }},
                        }},
                    }},
                config = { align = 'cm', offset = {x=0,y=0}, major = self.cards[1] or self, parent = self}

but it's not totally obvious how that works, so if anyone already knows how it works or has examples of it being messed with successfully in other mods, that'd be cool

[paper comet]

it triggers properly on glass cards, but it also just triggers at the end of each hand played as well.

[dusk night]

the main thing i'm curious about how to put an overlay on top of specific objects

[sullen fern]

please help. i don't know what in my seal is crashing my game

[red flower]

this?

[sullen fern]

it's crashing with "attempt to index local 'card' (a nil value)' and it's telling me to look on line 18

wait.

[dusk night]

that definitely looks promising

[sullen fern]

i see the issue.

[red flower]

context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play

[sullen fern]

nevermind.

[rapid stag]

i see. how do i differentiate between blueprint or brainstorm triggering calculate() and the actual joker triggering calculate()?

[red flower]

context.blueprint_card

[sullen fern]

can someone who's actually made a seal help me

[lavish lake]

Can anyone tell me how to check for winning hand, the last card in that hand, and how to apply a seal to a card?

[red flower]

(you need to check that this is nil)

[red flower]

i know the second one, context.full_hand[#context.full_hand]

[sullen fern]

there's nothing wrong on line 18, right?

[paper comet]

hmm still does it

[red flower]

what does it do exactly

[sullen fern]

it says something is wrong on line 18 but when i check line 18 i see that nothing is wrong

on the surface at least

if its saying that something went wrong on line 18 then

[paper comet]

so it basically goes through all the cards, if its glass it gives the x1.5 mult as it should. Then, when all the other jokers would do their effects it gives ANOTHER x1.5 which it shouldnt

[nova finch]

what does it specifically is wrong about line 18 in the message?

[sullen fern]

attempt to index local 'card'

[a nil value]

[lavish lake]

What about the first and third

[red flower]

well there's a reason i didnt answer those

[sullen fern]

removing "card" from the loc vars makes it show global instead of local

where are the seals located in cryptid's files

[red flower]

ok, i see the reason

loc_vars doesnt have card

you need to use self.config

[sullen fern]

self.config?

[red flower]

just did a search on github

[sullen fern]

so would it be self.config.mult then

[lavish lake]

Okay then... can anybody more experienced answer how to do the first and third things I need to do?

[red flower]

oh wow

[sullen fern]

i dont know why its saying error instead of my mod name

[pure trellis]

Has anyone made a guide on what to do to make a card in a mod?
Like the type of shit where someone takes a (probably simple) card from a mod and explains what each bit of the code for it does
Or is this more of a "figure it out by looking at other people's mods' code" type of thing

sorry if this is more a question for #⚙・modding-general

[red flower]

i think there are some youtube guides but I've never seen them

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

[pure trellis]

and I already checked #1209506514763522108's guides but the best I could find there are explanations on how to download mods themselves yknow?

ohhhhhhhh dang I didn't see that

swag, thanks mate

[red flower]

the main smods wiki also has most info

[pure trellis]

oh this is literally exactly what I was looking for lmao

[sullen fern]

please ignore the comment i made to vent out my frustrations about this seal

[red flower]

anyone know why this might be happening?

[sullen fern]

still, error

[red flower]

you tried to call SMODS.change_base with invalid arguments

[plush cove]

thats weird

[sullen fern]

maybe something in the seal's code is fucking with it?

[glass arrow]

yeah i walked into that one

[red flower]

that's just a warning

oh wait no

[sullen fern]

the jokers don't show error

[red flower]

it needs to have a suit, even if the docs say otherwise?

I'm guessing it can't find the card's suit

[red flower]

oh, card is not the playing card

you need G.hand.highlighted[1]

[dusk night]

Is there some easy way to reload mods without having to restart balatro?

[glass arrow]

ahh that makes sense

[rapid stag]

so uh... what did i do how did i break negative? this should be 7/8

i imagine that debuff includes editions, i imagine something happened weird with it and it didn't undebuff properly. i've been using SMODS.debuff_card() to debuff and undebuff. is there something i need to do to make negative here work again or

[red flower]

no, but holding m might be quicker

[dusk night]

also if there's some kind of dev guide that answers this and all the other questions I'm going to have in the next few minutes, that'd be awesome

[glass arrow]

i kept trying other_card and it was like 'no' and i was confused. im pretty new to this

[red flower]

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

[dusk night]

holding m?

(i've seen those docs fwiw)

[sullen fern]

the seal itself doesn't apply the chips and mult

[red flower]

holding m restarts the game

with smods

[red flower]

card.ability.seal.extra.mult?

[sullen fern]

it worked

now for the destroying part

which should be the same as destroying a joker

[nova finch]

is there anyone that can help me with this? I'm still trying to figure it out

[nova finch]

it didn't do anything

[sullen fern]

like this, right?

[red flower]

what's the code

[sullen fern]

except that it wouldn't be g.jokers

[nova finch]

also i couldn't find any documentation or examples of the context

[red flower]

it's not documented

[red flower]

context.individual doesn't occur at the same time as modify_scoring_hand

put that if outside

the elseif part i mean

[nova finch]

i tried that

and it didn

t

do anyhting

[red flower]

can you post how you did it

[red flower]

no

put it outside context.individual

[nova finch]

oh wait

sorry

[sullen fern]

i don't think this is how removing a playing card works

[nova finch]

i quickl;y chacnged it back

i had it outside

[dusk night]

is there a way to get an inspector running on the game's lua? i don't just want to write/bind a bunch of printf statements

[sullen fern]

i want it to be destroyed after scoring

and idk if g.card is a valid thing

[red flower]

and what did it do

[nova finch]

nothing

[red flower]

what version of steamodded do you have

[red flower]

try updating

[sullen fern]

can someome help me
the intent here is to have the card be destroyed after being scored

am i doing anything wrong?

[rapid stag]

anyone got a solution for me? i tried doing SMODS.recalc_debuff() on the stencil jokers but it didn't work

[red flower]

just checked and the context was added in 1415

[sullen fern]

i don't really know what's wrong here

[red flower]

what is main_main_scoring

[sullen fern]

...fuck

[red flower]

also main_scoring and after don't happen at the same time

[sullen fern]

so how am i gonna do it after scoring then

[red flower]

just after

[sullen fern]

entirely new problem just dropped. g.card probably isn't a valid thing

wait

no, that's not it

aha

[red flower]

you dont need that line

card:remove already does that

(and G.card doesn't exist)

[sullen fern]

um.

it does remove the cards but, um

woah

[rose dragon]

why does this either:
multiply by default
not score at all
or, rarely, work as intented?

ease_to = G.GAME.chips + math.floor(
    (G.x_symbol == "X" and hand_chips * mult)
    or (G.x_symbol == "+" and hand_chips + mult)
    or (G.x_symbol == "-" and (math.abs(hand_chips - mult) + 3))
    or (G.x_symbol == "/" and (math.abs(hand_chips / mult) + 1))
    or (G.x_symbol == "^" and hand_chips^mult)
    or 0
),

(lovely patch, at, pattern: ease_to = G.GAME.chips + math.floor(hand_chips*mult),)

-# G.x_symbol is getting changed by the deck BEFORE scoring

(deck calculate code):

if context.before and not context.other_card then
            local reveals = {
                {symbol = "X", colour = G.C.UI_MULT},
                {symbol = "+", colour = G.C.UI_ADD},
                {symbol = "-", colour = G.C.UI_SUB},
                {symbol = "/", colour = G.C.UI_DIV},
                {symbol = "^", colour = G.C.UI_POW},
            }
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = (function()
                    local reveal = nil
                    while true do
                        reveal = reveals[math.clamp(math.floor(pseudorandom("curious")*#reveals), 1, #reveals)]
                        if reveal.colour ~= G.C.UI_MULT_ALT then
                            break
                        end
                    end
                    G.x_symbol = reveal.symbol
                    ease_colour(G.C.UI_MULT_ALT, reveal.colour, 0.05)
                    return true
                end)
            }))
        end
        if context.after and context.cardarea == G.play then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                delay = 4,
                func = (function()
                    G.x_symbol = "?"
                    ease_colour(G.C.UI_MULT_ALT, G.C.UI_QUESTION)
                    return true
                end)
            }))
        end

[red flower]

hmm maybe you did need that line

[sullen fern]

it does remove the cards from the deck though

the cards get removed but the deck number doesn't change

52/46? that doesn't seem right

ethereal floating cards

[sullen fern]

well

hm

maybe it's something to do with context.after

because it removes them when they're scored

which is not what i want

i want them to be removed after scoring

context.final_scoring_step

maybe

that didn't help

[red flower]

i have no idea but there are other places that check for hand_chips*mult before that line

[sullen fern]

nope, readding it makes the game crash again

[red flower]

what did you write

[sullen fern]

me?

[red flower]

yes

[red flower]

i mean with this

[sullen fern]

G.card:remove_card(card)

[red flower]

G.card doesn't exist

try card.area:remove_card(card)

[sullen fern]

WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS

[red flower]

wait those are playing cards right

[sullen fern]

yeah

[red flower]

there's a context for that

probably something like

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

but never made a seal so i dunno

[nova finch]

is there a way to check if a card is changed to a certain suit? i wanna make a joker that triggers when that happens

[red flower]

i dont think there is by default, you need to hook a function to check manually

[sullen fern]

good lord

[red flower]

idk then

[sullen fern]

it DOES remove the cards

it just doesn't update the deck number

and it does. that

[red flower]

how is the code looking now

[red flower]

remove the event 😠

[sullen fern]

now what

[red flower]

delete all of this

[red flower]

that should work

[sullen fern]

okay

it worked

holy shit

[red flower]

yay

im going to sleep then

[sullen fern]

now to impliment the first of many alabell cards

[tall wharf]

yay

[sullen fern]

does anyone have a consumable template

[bold gyro]

Hey y'all, I'm trying to create a joker that destroys all scoring stone cards, but currently it destroys all scored cards if there is a stone card. How do I fix this?

if context.destroying_card and not context.blueprint then
      for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        print(v.config.center)
        if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_stone') then
          --if pseudorandom('stonemason'..G.SEED) < (G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds) then
            return {
              remove = true
            }
          --end
        end
      end
    end```

[tall wharf]

oh my

[sullen fern]

just like, something i can use to get a consumable done quickly

[red flower]

don't do the loop, check SMODS.has_enhancement( context.destroying_card, 'm_stone')

[tall wharf]

how i did it is that i add temp card ability

you can also just loop thru hand and

check which card is stone

right

[red flower]

you don't need a loop, it's called on every scored card

[tall wharf]

I'll need to update my code to use the SMODS functions

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if context.other_card.ability.name == "Stone Card" then
                context.other_card.ability.aiko_about_to_be_destroyed = true
                for i = 1, card.ability.extra.chip_add_stack do
                    SMODS.calculate_effect({
                        chips = card.ability.extra.chip_add,
                        juice_card = context.other_card,
                    },card)
                end
                
            end
        end

        if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint and not context.destroy_card.ability.eternal then
            
            if context.destroy_card.ability.aiko_about_to_be_destroyed then
                return { remove = true }
            end
        end
    end,```

this is the worst way of doing it

[red flower]

also check for context.cardarea == G.play

[tall wharf]

you forgot a comma

[sullen fern]

i dont think i actually made the alabell consumable correctly

[tall wharf]

have you made ConsumableType yet

because you'll need that

[sullen fern]

yueah

i just didn't fully complete it

wait i forgot to put an equals after loc_txt

[nova finch]

I'm trying to get a count of how many enhanced diamond cards there are in the cards but this code keeps continuously adding up
Does anyone know why this happens? I'm still really new to this so any help would be appreciated

[rose dragon]

-# still havent found a fix (why is it the hand before)
where did my hand go 😭

[sullen fern]

full thing

every time i try to check the consumables my game crashes

full crash log (idk if it'll be useful)

[rapid stag]

...really does not like me trying to print #G.jokers.cards huh

i just want to see how many jokers there are
nevermind, skill issue on my part

[bold gyro]

this worked, thank you!

[sullen fern]

is there something wrong here which is causing the game to crash

[tall wharf]

where did you put this

[nova finch]

i figured it out lol

i just needed to reset the count at the beginning every time

[sullen fern]

the consumables thing doesn't even show up. lol

on the additions section of my mod

still don't know what's going on

this is correct, right?

[tall wharf]

SMODS.ConsumableType{
    atlas = "consumablesAlphabetPacks",

this is from my mod

[sullen fern]

a dead giveaway, this should say 7 instead of 6

or, has it always been 5?

no, it should be 7

no it's always been 5

[tall wharf]

❓

[sullen fern]

so it does identify my consumable tyoe

with my mod disabled

[tall wharf]

why do you not click on it

[sullen fern]

because it crashes the game

[tall wharf]

huh

[tall wharf]

I'm pretty sure you didn't set the set property properly for your consumable cards

[tall wharf]

huh

[sullen fern]

so why does it crash

if it identifies the consumable type

[tall wharf]

try temporarily removing the consumables code

[restive bronze]

is there a way I could change what the final ante is?

[tall wharf]

there is a way

[sullen fern]

even when removing the consumable code, still crashes

[tall wharf]

now temporarily remove consumable type

[sullen fern]

i have a feeling that it's the consumable type that's at fault

[restive bronze]

Was that answering me or him?

[sullen fern]

that didn't fix anything

still crashes

[tall wharf]

you

[tall wharf]

so it's not that code

[restive bronze]

Do you know how to change the final ante or you know about a mod that does it?

[tall wharf]

this just means that the Alabell cards was probably good

[tall wharf]

i think you'll have to patch something in the game's code

[sullen fern]

consumable type is probably the one at fault here

but what happened here

[tall wharf]

did you remove both the type and the card

if you did and it still crashes i think it's something else

[sullen fern]

yeah it still crashes

[tall wharf]

try loading the game with just your mod

[restive bronze]

ok so I found that "win_ante = 8" but how could I modify that when getting a joker or something

[sullen fern]

its still gonna crash

here's ALL of it

[tall wharf]

do you have any other mod that might crash the game

[sullen fern]

nope

all i have enabled is debug+ and my mod

[tall wharf]

ok

ah

you need to prefix your atlas

with your mod prefix

maybe

mod prefix in json file

[sullen fern]

nope.

the joker atlas is "atlasjoker" and i didnt have to use a prefix for it

so no.

[sullen fern]

so what the fuck is wrong

[tall wharf]

ah I'm stupid

[sullen fern]

?

[tall wharf]

why are there 5 consumable types

[sullen fern]

cryptid

[tall wharf]

yeah umm

[sullen fern]

what

because even without cryptid it still crashes when i click on the consumables section

[tall wharf]

I'm trying to check with my own code

[tall wharf]

can you try removing undiscovered sprite part

[sullen fern]

doesn't help

i dont even know what the deal is

[rapid stag]

pseudorandom_element() is causing crashes for me?
nvm, i was calling it at a very stupid point in runtime don't do that

[sullen fern]

i dont know man. i just dont

[lavish lake]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "stamped_document",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Stamped Document",
        text = {
            "Adds a {C:attention}Purple Seal{} to last card in {C:attention}winning hand{}"
        }
    },
    rarity = 1,
    atlas = "joker_atlas",
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    loc_vars = function (self, info_quene, card)
        info_quene[#info_quene+1] = G.P_SEALS.Purple
    end,
    calculate = function (self, card, context)
        if context.after then

        end
    end
}

How do I add the rest of the functionality? I really need some help

[sullen fern]

im just gonna

sleep

[tall wharf]

i tried 😔

the code looks good to me

[sullen fern]

it always gives me this error

i have no idea what it means

or why it’s importsnt

[tall wharf]

last ditch effort have you tried disbaling debugpkus

[lavish lake]

last last ditch effort have you tried updating lovely and smods

[tall wharf]

oh yeah

uh

1422 is pretty recent

0.7.1 is the latest lovely version

[lavish lake]

anyway he went to sleep
can i get help on this code pls

[tall wharf]

ok

[sullen fern]

what’s fucking with me is that other mods have new consumable types that work but not my mod for some reason?

i doubt its a lovely or steamodded issue

if lotiera and zodiac cards can work then why not alabell

[tall wharf]

you might have better luck asking others more knowledgeable than me in a few hours

[tall wharf]

i would store G.play.cards in ability

not sure how i would telegraph to the player

[rapid stag]

so why is the game now ignoring my card's enhancements

[wintry solar]

Without checking the game code I think it might be your colour hex values

[tall wharf]

what is this Bakalatro

[lavish lake]

I really need some help 🙏 Everybody's helping everybody else but not me

[pliant perch]

only have 1 more legendary joker left

[rapid stag]

culprit seems to have been the steamodded update.
reverting to 1.0.0~alpha-1410c from 1.0.0~beta-0391a fixed it.

[tall wharf]

😭

[tall wharf]

joe biden pls

[wintry solar]

This is fixed in latest version

[pliant perch]

gang what

[rapid stag]

that is the latest version

[pliant perch]

joe biden 😭

[lavish lake]

I am going insane because nobody is helping

[pliant perch]

i will consider it but im not great at drawing real people

[rapid stag]

oh

[tall wharf]

i guess do homer simpson

idk

[wintry solar]

No it’s not

[rapid stag]

yep yep, i see it, my bad

[wintry solar]

You’ve just posted a joker structure with no effort to try and create your effect, what do you want help with?

[lavish lake]

Writing the entire code for my mod :D

[pliant perch]

ive already done krusty so idk

also fun fact krusty was originally supposed to be homer in a disguse but they changed it

[tall wharf]

ah ok

i guess

uh

it

[pliant perch]

already jimbo

but dont worry

i have the perfect canidate

the weird background character from amazing world of gumball

once im done with this ill still have to work on finding like 140 more clown characters but its ok

i figure something out

and also i guess not everyone has to be a clown

[sturdy compass]

The metamorphosis trio!

[lavish lake]

Uhh.. nobody knows how to add seals to cards? Dang it..

[shell belfry]

What does juice_card_until mean

[sturdy compass]

It'll endlessly wiggle the card

[shell belfry]

thanks

[rapid stag]

what is happening?

i'm pretty sure there's only one place where the name of the stone card is pulled and that is from m_stone

so how... what

how is it working and not working

[onyx sonnet]

It could be that the English localization for the game in stone cards and tower doesn't pull the name from the variable but is contained within the string

[rapid stag]

tower card seems to pull it from a specific variable - if you look at the english localisation, it has a #1# and #2#

also, that function should be changing the actual string that they're pulling from - and as evidenced by how SMODS.process_loc_text() changes marble joker... it is. but... it's also not.

this was also working as expected before the new steamodded beta, so there's also a likelihood that something in there is not acting right (this is on steamodded beta-0301b)

[halcyon osprey]

So, i wanna, make a joker that increases the amount of cards you can play (from 5 to 6) and i need to make a patch or something, i dont really know how to do that, at all

[tall wharf]

everyone is doing this 😭

including me 😭

[halcyon osprey]

😭

idk how to do it lol

[wintry arch]

would this be an appropriate channel to post sprite art for custom decks?

[halcyon osprey]

i think that one miught be chat

[tall wharf]

Keep in mind that the game only account for poker hands with 5 cards

[halcyon osprey]

Oh yeah i dont want a 6 of a kind thing

I just want it to be a normal poker hand plus another card

[tall wharf]

you'll have to patch the game.

[halcyon osprey]

yeah

idk how too 😭 astra says that this one should be an easier one to do though

[shell belfry]

I’m new to modding and i cant figure out how to get this to work

[tall wharf]

are you using notepad to code

[shell belfry]

yeah

[tall wharf]

what do you want to do

[shell belfry]

I’m trying to make it so that whenever a card is destroyed, it makes a King of the same suite.

[sturdy compass]

Holy.

[plush cove]

👉 https://vscodium.com/

[tall wharf]

vscode

but if you hate Microsoft you can use VSCodium

[plush cove]

certified microsoft hater

[rose dragon]

what even is the difference between vscodium and vscode?

[plush cove]

one is microsoft and one isn't

[tall wharf]

vscodium doesn't have Microsoft stuff

[rose dragon]

is that it?

[tall wharf]

yes

[rose dragon]

what's the difference between codium and intelliijs lua support?

[plush cove]

codium's is better

[rose dragon]

what extensions should i use? are they any extensions made for balala/lovely?

[shell belfry]

Alright here

how can i fix this

[tall wharf]

you will need to store the card and place it in deck

and update deck card limit

[sturdy compass]

Or use SMODS.create_card instead

[shell belfry]

what does that look like

[plush cove]

these are the only 3 you really need imo

[sturdy compass]

It’s a function that takes a table of values like ‘key’ or ‘set’ and goes through the motions of creating and adding the card to your deck for you

[shell belfry]

is it the same. like SMODS.create_card({'H'..'_'..'K'})

[tall wharf]

is there a way to make card stay for longer

do i just delay?

[rapid stag]

question.

when i do
for X, Y in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
what is X?
