[sturdy compass]

It’s a little different but there’s unfortunately no documentation I can give for reference

[manic rune]

X means index

usually i,v is more used, with i stands for index and v stands for value (i think)

[rapid stag]

i see

[manic rune]

{
a = b
}

a in this case in index, while b is the value

index can be a string or a number

[plush cove]

i dont actually think this works for playing cards

[manic rune]

while value can be either a string, a number, or even a table

[rose dragon]

what to do about this?

[plush cove]

config your .luarc settings

put this in your mod folder

[tall wharf]

fixed

[plush cove]

@rose dragon how's that going?

[halcyon osprey]

so uhh

tf i do 😭

[rose dragon]

yeah it works

indentation is terrible though

[manic rune]

just some lua stuff which i dont know how to do rn:
i want to make a table combining both of "Asta" and "AbsoluteNecessary", and i want the new table to be the exact same order of everything in AbsoluteNecessary, then everything from Asta from top to bottom

its prob obvious and im too dumb to not realize it

i tried running the Asta table through a for i,v loop, then basically did smt like:
NewTable[i] = v, but the order of the new value is completely random due to the index not being a number i suppose

[rose dragon]

if nuclear deck was actually good

[manic rune]

jesus

[rose dragon]

(i forgot to include division on the list)

[lavish lake]

change the "is only reveal" to "only reveals"

[rose dragon]

i didnt see that lol

[wintry solar]

There’s a smods function near the top of utils.lua that’ll do this

[manic rune]

oh, thats very convenient, thanks :D

[plush cove]

does SMODS.create_card work for playing cards?

[wintry solar]

No

Use create_playing_card

[plush cove]

i thought so, ty

[rapid stag]

anyone know where the return value of a joker's calculate() is used?

[lavish lake]

Does anybody know how to apply a purple seal to a card

[wintry solar]

What are you trying to do?

[wintry solar]

card:set_seal(“Purple”) from memory

[onyx sonnet]

Is there a way to check if a card has ANY seal whatsoever?

[frosty dock]

if card.seal then iirc

[fallen vigil]

what does check do in the debuff_hand function

[onyx sonnet]

Ty!

[iron iron]

add, sub, mult, exp, and tet

[lavish lake]

Had this crash, I have this code:

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "stamped_document",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Stamped Document",
        text = {
            "Adds a {C:attention}Purple Seal{} to a random card in",
            "your {C:attention}full deck{} at the end of round"
        }
    },
    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
            local r_card = math.random(1, #context.playing_cards)

            r_card:set_seal("Purple")
        end
    end
}

[raw geyser]

Is there a way to trigger something on joker load?

[raw geyser]

You're looking for G.playing_cards, I believe

[raw geyser]

Thanks!

[tall wharf]

card no reset pls help

[zealous glen]

Put it in an Event

[tall wharf]

ok

[zealous glen]

I think it runs before any scoring is computed

Because it’s all done in Events

[wintry solar]

can't you use end_of_round?

oh there's the bottom bit too

[zealous glen]

Actually maybe you can return a function that resets

Since SMODS can handle that

[wise jungle]

silly question, people on my screen
is there a way to directly access a chip_mod or mult_mod from other jokers? Something that's like G.jokers.cards[1].chip_mod

[zealous glen]

No

[wise jungle]

because for some reason jokers like Blue Joker calculates chips like that and i'm going insane over it

[wise jungle]

damn

[zealous glen]

What do you want to do?

[wise jungle]

i wanted to dabble in balatro modding and i made a nice working legendary card where it basically takes all the +mults, xmults and +chips of other jokers and basically add it to the card, like blueprint but better

on most cards, like the flush joker cards and the ones giving straight up mults, its actually working really well, but on some obscure ones like blue joker and i assume swashbuckler, where they dynamically calculate the mult, they don't work too well, the only thing i can get from cards.ability is the increment (like how Blue Joker gives +2 chips for every card in the deck, so I only get the 2, not the actual total chips value)

[wintry solar]

there's no way to consistently get those values, especially with other modded jokers

[zealous glen]

I don’t think Balatro is setup to make that effect easy to implement

[wise jungle]

damn

[crisp coral]

unfortunate

[zealous glen]

https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/tasks.png

[tall wharf]

just retrigger everything again

[wintry solar]

unless you force a naming convention across every modded joker ever of course

[wise jungle]

honestly i might do that as a workaround lmao

[zealous glen]

Break into people’s house and change their code

[wise jungle]

TRUE

[tall wharf]

asadasag

[zealous glen]

You can also just double the score at the end

[wise jungle]

14 competing standards? i'll make it one

[zealous glen]

15 competing standards later…

[crisp coral]

if you do I'll start keysmashing every variable of mine

[wise jungle]

no no
i meant to say
i'll force everyone to make that 15 into 1.....

[tall wharf]

so 16

[wise jungle]

LMAO

[tall wharf]

https://xkcd.com/927/

xkcd: Standards

Fortunately, the charging one has been solved now that we've all standardized on mini-USB. Or is it micro-USB? Shit.

many such cases

[wise jungle]

maybe
but its not exactly that the chips themselves are being used, its the chips of other jokers

[red flower]

what if you saved every joker's calculate function

[zealous glen]

Balatrostuck had an effect that memorized the Chips granted by every effect

[primal robin]

I have a problem with event manager. Can help someone pls?

local blind = SMODS.Blind({})

function blind:set_blind()
    -- This works fine
    local card = create_card("Voucher", G.play, false, nil, nil, nil, "v_magic_trick", nil)
    G.play:emplace(card)
    card:start_materialize()
    card:redeem()
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
            card:start_dissolve()
            return true
        end,
    }))

    delay(0.5)

    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
            -- Here, `G.hand` becomes visible which looks not good while i'm doing my stuff
            -- It's a problem. Is the way to prevent this?

            local card = create_card("Voucher", G.play, false, nil, nil, nil, "v_illusion", nil)
            G.play:emplace(card)
        
            card:start_materialize()
            card:redeem()
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    card:start_dissolve()
                    return true
                end,
            }))

            delay(0.5)

            return true
        end,
    }))
end

[wintry solar]

you could store already triggered values very easily

but it wouldn't be able to catch things that happen after it

[crisp coral]

does a before event work?

[wise jungle]

yeah that's what i meant
the calculate functions are there, and pretty sure it'll give me far more accurate numbers, can i basically just call them to return the values to use?

[primal robin]

Well, when I tried it, event retriggers inself infinitely

[crisp coral]

it shouldn't be doing that unless you're missing return true

[red flower]

sounds complicated because you need to save everything else about the card
what eremel said makes more sense

[wise jungle]

very fair, not the first time i'd dabble into some weird magic to get things working but i don't want to somehow make balatro explode my pc

[wise jungle]

how would one do that though, i don't have a good idea or a reference to get to

[wintry solar]

I wouldn't recommend doing extra calculate calls either

[primal robin]

Also, inserting event before will not work. If event have inside smth like card:redeem(), it will be inserted to the end anyway

[zealous glen]

Just set the Joker retrigger options to true and return true

[wintry solar]

you'd need to look into how post triggers work

then you can scrape the table that the jokers have returned in the joker_main context and extract the values you're looking for

this is assuming your joker is storing them and applying them all at once

[wise jungle]

oh yeah it stores and applies them all at once

[wintry solar]

if you wanted it to work for all your jokers regardless of positioning you could alter how it works so that it scores them as they are scored

[wise jungle]

...honestly not bad at all

i mean it still achieves the same target, just that it does it one by one instead of all into one

[wintry solar]

all in one is fine, it'd just only work for the jokers to the left of it

[wise jungle]

yeah i can see that

but wait wouldn't there be a way where the joker can be executed after a hand is played?

like basically the other jokers get to do their triggers and then after they are done and after the hand is done playing my joker card would calculate it all in one

like how in seltzer it decrements down after each hand played

[wintry solar]

oh actually yes

you can just add it in final_scoring_step

[wise jungle]

heck yeah
that way i dont have to worry about positioning AND i can get to achieve the desired effect of it adding all of the chips and mults in one go instead of it just acting like a stronger blueprint

[wintry solar]

so you want to do the post trigger stuff looking for joker_main to collect your values

[runic pecan]

Where can I find smods change log?

[wise jungle]

yeah thats what i'm going to figure it out

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/commits/main/

[tall wharf]

fucked up

😭

[wise jungle]

even the editor is blaming you lmao

[tall wharf]

😭

[red flower]

is the problem that the event is not returning true

[tall wharf]

yes

...

[manic rune]

wrong place, my bad

[runic pecan]

Should I change it to "after scoring"?

[strong jacinth]

Is it possible to make a voucher that makes it possible to play 6 cards instead of five?

[manic rune]

it is

[manic rune]

i think its alright as it is, sorry for not noticing this before 💀

[strong jacinth]

How? Is there a variable i can change like G.Game.cardsplayedmax = 6?

[manic rune]

i dont think thats how you would do it, but there are mods which have done the same already

[strong jacinth]

Like?

[manic rune]

i actually dont remember if Cryptid does it

but i do remember a voucher which does exactly what you want

lemme check

ah, it does have it

[tall wharf]

6

[zealous glen]

Not Sticky Fingers smh my hand

Myst did it for Booster packs somewhere here https://github.com/Mysthaps/BalatroMods/blob/main/Steamodded/MystJokers/indiv_jokers/polydactyly.lua

[tall wharf]

literally 6 mods that do this select 6 cards thing

[manic rune]

jojo reference...

[zealous glen]

"here" being that repo

[manic rune]

yeah

and i still equally dont like the idea of being able to select 5+ cards, personally

[zealous glen]

jojo reference smh mza hando

[tall wharf]

please be fair to my mod

[manic rune]

but i actually heard about a mod which uses this feature just to discard and other stuff, not to play 5+ cards hands which i prefer much more

once again, aiko, scrabble barely qualifies as poker

💔

[zealous glen]

me and xChips

[manic rune]

i have xchips too, its fine 😭

i have it to add varieties to my mod

[zealous glen]

/block Bepis

[wintry solar]

xchips isn't a variety though

[zealous glen]

xChips is just Mult but worse

[manic rune]

you wont believe how hard it is to add 25+ jokers, each having at least 6 additional abilities without them being bland 💔

[wintry solar]

its xmult in a coat

[manic rune]

ye, but blue xmult ❤️

[zealous glen]

mult*

[manic rune]

i like blue

[zealous glen]

xMult is xxChips

[wintry solar]

what?

[manic rune]

what

[zealous glen]

Mult and xChips both multiply Chips

[wintry solar]

xchips and xmult are the same thing

[tall wharf]

is this correct 😭

[zealous glen]

xMult multiplies Mult

so xMult is xxChips

and xChips is Mult

[wintry solar]

I see you don't understand basic multiplication

[manic rune]

that sounds so dumb but i somehow understand it

[tall wharf]

mult is xchips

shush

[manic rune]

xchips sfx is actually really nice

[zealous glen]

and xChips also applies immediately, which makes it worse

you'd prefer if xChips applied last, so at the same time as Mult

that makes Mult just better than xChips

[manic rune]

i actually have no clue what you mean by that

💀

[zealous glen]

Let's say you have x2 Chips and 5 then 5 Chips

(5*2) + 5 is worse than (5+ 5)*2

Mult does the latter always

So it's better than xChips

[manic rune]

oh, so you mean the order in the return{} stuff?

[zealous glen]

No, just the order of how it's scored

Photograph also applies xMult earlier than you'd want

Compare to other xMult Jokers like The Duo

[manic rune]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-wait-cat-looking-gif-9703586837421179457

ok now im actually lost

[zealous glen]

The order of the effects doesn't depend on the order in return

[wintry solar]

I think he's talking about having it on playing cards

[zealous glen]

Photograph isn't a playing card

[wintry solar]

which is the specific scenario where xchips differs from xmult

[zealous glen]

It just applies it during the timing of playing cards

But that's not the point

Because Mult only multiplies Chips after all Chips have been added

So any scoring context where xChips could apply is earlier than when you'd want it

because you can always add more Chips before Mult multiplies Chips

That's the last step of scoring

It comes even after Plasma Deck

[wintry solar]

that's not at all how multiplication works

[manic rune]

i thought you meant, like

return{
  chips = 50
  xchips = 2,
}

and it runs still runs xchips before chips, which i can see the issue here, but if its just some stuff relating to context then i dont think ive found any problem relating to that

[zealous glen]

If you multiply Chips earlier, you can always add more Chips later

[manic rune]

i put xchips in joker_main and i still see it doing exactly like xmult

[wintry solar]

you could say the same with mult

that's just misordering your effects

[zealous glen]

No

Mult only multiplies Chips last

It does so after Plasma Deck, as I said

[wintry solar]

that makes 0 difference

[zealous glen]

It does, because you could add Chips after multiplying xChips

But it's physically impossible with Mult

[wintry solar]

say you paly a hand that gives 50 chips and 5 mult, and have a X2 chips joker, it'd give 100 x 5 = 500. If it was X2 mult, it'd be 50 x 10 = 500

exactly the same

[zealous glen]

I don't see how that's related

[wintry solar]

then what the fuck are you talking about

[zealous glen]

This

Regarding adding 5 Chips twice and applying X2 Chips

[manic rune]

...im too dumb and my brain loads too slow to even be a part of this conversation, sorry everyone 🙏

[wintry solar]

yes but that's misordered

[zealous glen]

Yes but you can't misorder Mult

Because it's the last step of scoring

So Mult is always multiplying Chips at the best possible timing

[unkempt thicket]

How could i add this with the hands table? like combine the two
i_hands = { ["Flush Five"] = {s_x_mult = 1.25, s_x_chips = 2, i_level = 0}, ["Flush House"] = {s_x_mult = 1.3, s_x_chips = 1.8, i_level = 0}, ["Five of a Kind"] = {s_x_mult = 1.25, s_x_chips = 1.75, i_level = 0}, ["Straight Flush"] = {s_x_mult = 1.3, s_x_chips = 1.8, i_level = 0}, ["Four of a Kind"] = {s_x_mult = 1.25, s_x_chips = 1.75, i_level = 0}, ["Full House"] = {s_x_mult = 1.2, s_x_chips = 1.7, i_level = 0}, ["Flush"] = {s_x_mult = 1.1, s_x_chips = 1.3, i_level = 0}, ["Straight"] = {s_x_mult = 1.25, s_x_chips = 1.75, i_level = 0}, ["Three of a Kind"] = {s_x_mult = 1.1, s_x_chips = 1.5, i_level = 0}, ["Two Pair"] = {s_x_mult = 1.1, s_x_chips = 1.5, i_level = 0}, ["Pair"] = {s_x_mult = 1.1, s_x_chips = 1.3, i_level = 0}, ["High Card"] = {s_x_mult = 1.1, s_x_chips = 1.2, i_level = 0}, }

[zealous glen]

Which hands table?

[unkempt thicket]

G.GAME.hands

[zealous glen]

What about modded hands?

[wintry solar]

of coruse you can misorder mult

[zealous glen]

How? It's the last step of scoring

You can't add Chips or Mult or xMult

afterwards

[wintry solar]

you have a joker that is + mult and a joker that is Xmult and you put the xmult first

[unkempt thicket]

There isn't a consumable for those, if they're were they could be added to i_hands.

[zealous glen]

I'd say that's misordering xMult, but it's not even relevant to the conversation

I'm talking about Mult multiplying Chips

not xMult multiplying Mult

[humble girder]

what he means is that when your total chips for a hand are evaluated, it will multiply your total chips by your total mult

[zealous glen]

the last step of scoring takes Chips, takes Mult, multiplies those together, then assigns that number to your current score

[humble girder]

that is always the last step and in essence, correct

[wintry solar]

so how does that make xchips the same as +mult

[zealous glen]

Because xChips is multiplying Chips like Mult multiplies Chips

except earlier

[humble girder]

but no, xchips is not the same as +mult, it's the same as xmult except for plasma

[zealous glen]

and thus worse

[zealous glen]

and what do you want those values in that table for?

You can already access them elsewhere

[runic pecan]

Do I need to worry about nil check?

[zealous glen]

What do you mean?

[wintry solar]

genuinely I don't think you understand how multiplication works

[manic rune]

i dont think so

[humble girder]

multiplication is commutative, my friend, a base flush with 2X mult is 35 * 4 * 2, a base flush with 2X chips is 35 * 2 * 4, that's the same

source doesn't matter, because both +chips and +mult exists which can interfere with that order

[zealous glen]

This game base form of scoring have cards add Chips

The order of addition and multiplication matters

[unkempt thicket]

I have consumables that call for those vaules in G.GAME.hands[hand] so i need to assgin those vaules to the hands.

[zealous glen]

You want to multiply after addition to maximize your score

[humble girder]

this game has base form of scoring where cards can have Mult

[zealous glen]

Hence why Mult is performing the same job as xChips (multiplying Chips) but better

[humble girder]

it's best to ignore it. in a vacuum, unless you are plasma, XChips and XMult are equivalent

[manic rune]

since card is always your joker, and extra should always exist in which case

[runic pecan]

As in, do I need to do all these stuff?

[zealous glen]

and xMult is acting as xxChips by multiplying Mult

[humble girder]

no, xChips is acting as xxMult by multiplying Chips

because commutative

🙂

[unkempt thicket]

Although, I could actually just do that considering where I placed the list.

[manic rune]

nope, the "card" in calculate is the joker which is calling the calculation

you only really need that when you are checking for other cards other than itself

[zealous glen]

at that specific spot, no

[manic rune]

though, having something like that is certainly useful for quick-checking context.other_card

[wintry solar]

what you're saying would only be true if xmult happened after the game did chips x mult

[manic rune]

ima snatch that idea, thanks riv

❤️

[runic pecan]

What about loc_vars?

[zealous glen]

I usually do card and card.ability and card.ability.extra in Events

[manic rune]

me too

[zealous glen]

or maybe card and not card.removed

[humble girder]

monkaS

[manic rune]

but smt like checkCard(context.other_card) seems a lot cleaner imo

[frosty dock]

any card that exists has an ability table

[manic rune]

yeah, but not all of them have extra

if im not wrong

[frosty dock]

if your center has an extra table in its config, they do

[humble girder]

extra is a stupid vanilla convention

[manic rune]

Deal with the Angel 💔

[frosty dock]

loc_vars gets fake cards sometimes, but they're shaped closely enough like a regular card that you don't need to worry about this for accessing config values

[manic rune]

i see

thanks john aure smods :D

learning new things everyday™️

[frosty dock]

Also wtf is this xchips discussion

[manic rune]

its about the order of how they trigger or something

[humble girder]

just uhh

don't look at it

[manic rune]

im actually too dumb to be a part of that 😭

[humble girder]

trust me

[frosty dock]

too late

[humble girder]

my condolences

[manic rune]

i shall make this my new catchphrase:
-# learning new things everyday™️

:3

[zealous glen]

xChips is only comparable to xMult if you don't add Chips in-between applying xChips, but it's that possiblity that makes xChips worse than Mult. If you apply xChips after you'd added all Chips you could, then it doesn't matter if it's xChips or xMult (unless you have both I guess, since they multiply together too)

[red flower]

I think it should be written as Xchips

[humble girder]

xMult is only comparable to xChips if you don't add Mult in-between applying xMult, but it's that possiblity that makes xMult worse than Chips. If you apply xMult after you'd added all Mult you could, then it doesn't matter if it's xMult or xChips (unless you have both I guess, since they multiply together too)

[manic rune]

💀

[frosty dock]

the default ordering (within the same calculation) is +chips, +mult, xchips, xmult

[zealous glen]

The ordering depends on the context

[humble girder]

the whole discussion hinges on the technicality that base playing cards have innate +chips but no innate +mult

[manic rune]

am i the only one genuinely unable to keep up with this

[humble girder]

it's not technically wrong it just doesn't matter by ante 8

[wintry solar]

it also has no bearing on the claim that xchips is just +mult

that's just categorically incorrect

[zealous glen]

I mention this because Photograph exists

[humble girder]

that claim is insane

[frosty dock]

that is the one scenario where xchips are slightly worse than xmult

[humble girder]

i agree

[frosty dock]

however it would still be much better on average than +mult

[zealous glen]

I'm talking about Mult; you're thinking of it as "additive Mult"

[manic rune]

xchips is often much better than xmult at early game due to how much chips sources give them

[crisp coral]

what is being talked about

[manic rune]

like, common jokers give uhhhhhhhhhhh +80, +100, smt like that ❤️

[frosty dock]

there is no practical difference between xmult and xchips, let alone any advantage to xchips ever

[humble girder]

actually, early is where XChips is categorically worse than XMult if you do the math

[manic rune]

oh

oh yeah, saturation stuff

[frosty dock]

both multiply your score

[humble girder]

if the source is a joker, then it doesn't matter

[manic rune]

its better to increase the lowest variable, forgot that

[frosty dock]

unless you're on plasma deck, then xchips can be better than xmult

[zealous glen]

Photograph:

[manic rune]

xchips argument, order and smt stuff

[humble girder]

oh and yes, there's plasma but plasma is special

[frosty dock]

if you're multiplying it by the same amount, no

[zealous glen]

No

[humble girder]

you know exactly what i mean, let's not pretend

[frosty dock]

that only works like this for additive scaling

[manic rune]

but if you got 3000 chips and 1 mult, isnt it better to get a +mult joker

[wintry solar]

I think this just boils down to victin arguing over a technicality he invented for the sake of arguing

[zealous glen]

Yes, but you're explaining it to someone else. So I don't think it's helpful to say something incorrect

[humble girder]

flat additive is again, different

[manic rune]

i shouldve specified what i meant, sorry

[humble girder]

flat additive is always increase the lower one

[manic rune]

:(

[frosty dock]

flat mult is much better than flat chips here

[zealous glen]

Well, if you get a +3000 Chips or +1 Mult Joker it's the same

[frosty dock]

but xmult vs xchips doesn't matter

[zealous glen]

So +13000 Chips will be better than +4 Mult

[humble girder]

flat vs flat it's whatever increases the lower amount (and some magnitude considerations)
x vs x it's whatever you have less later scored additive of

[crisp coral]

damn another xchips vs xmult discourse

[frosty dock]

all things considered, xchips is basically another version of xmult that can be better or worse in certain niche scenarios

[humble girder]

but if we're looking at strictly joker_main, there is never a difference between same magnitude X

[manic rune]

...what do you mean another

[zealous glen]

What you can say about additive Chips versus additive Mult is that, the larger one value is, the better a small increment of the other is

[frosty dock]

I don't see how that matters as it was only added into smods because modders wanted to use it

[zealous glen]

And I support the decision

I just said I disliked it, and compared xChips to Mult

[manic rune]

i like xchips because the sfx is cool

❤️

[unkempt thicket]

How do planet cards (Lvl:num) color change based on the level?

[manic rune]

• blue is cool

[humble girder]

there's plasma-like mechanics you can build around it that disrupts the balance but in vanilla, xchips exists, it's called xmult

[frosty dock]

I'm not sure why there needs to be an argument then

[wintry solar]

I think victin is comparing xchips to the final total mult for some bizarre reason

[zealous glen]

Because I think xChips is redudant with vanilla mechanics

and that's part of it

The final total Mult multiplies Chips after all Chip additions

So it's stronger than xChips anyways

since you could add Chips after applying xChips

[frosty dock]

the final total mult isn't a mechanic though

[zealous glen]

Hold on

[strong jacinth]

Why is it so fat tho?

[zealous glen]

I have a patch to change those colours, but not the time to sift through it. Do you want me to send you the file so you can find the code you want?

[manic rune]

it probably ate all of the fat from your vsc

❤️

[frosty dock]

your atlas is a weird size

[humble girder]

use a 71x93 atlas

[frosty dock]

95*

[crisp coral]

71x95*

[humble girder]

meh

[unkempt thicket]

Yea, i'll look though it

[strong jacinth]

But the sprite is 59x93

[zealous glen]

Vanilla uses a lot of empty space

[crisp coral]

still use 71x95

and center your voucher

[tall wharf]

vri which sprite are you on

[frosty dock]

yeah the sprite size accounts for empty space

[frosty dock]

voucher your center

[strong jacinth]

How? And how do i get rid of the

[manic rune]

the ghost

👻

[crisp coral]

voucher.center

[tall wharf]

the ghost of my voucher

[zealous glen]

https://tenor.com/view/billy-zane-superhero-gif-24123276

[manic rune]

the ghost of "oops all 6s" is hunting you for skinning it alive, and put it on a voucher...

[frosty dock]

there should be a 6px transparent border on both sides of your voucher sprite

[manic rune]

is this what you meant btw?

...oh nvm

its the merge_list i think

[strong jacinth]

How do i center my voucher?

[wintry solar]

merge_list that's the one

[zealous glen]

Just move it in an image editing software

until it's centered horizontally within a 71 by 95 box

[manic rune]

i love smods for adding merge_list 🙏

never in my life has code treated me this well

is this how i do it?

[zealous glen]

I don't understand the behaviour when t == false

[wintry solar]

I think they need to be within a list themselves

[zealous glen]

If t == nil, then it returns defaults, but if t == false then it returns nil?

[manic rune]

t == false means you manually set it to "false"

its probably for something

[zealous glen]

I can understand the philosophy. I'm asking if that's what it's doing

[wise jungle]

how can i access the return table? is it like context.post_trigger.ret or in a different way? help a guy out i'm 💥 rn

[wintry solar]

context.other_ret

[zealous glen]

Should be context.other_ret

[crisp coral]

is this how to do a blueprintesque joker again

[wise jungle]

huh i see

[humble girder]

https://tenor.com/view/ken-jeong-community-too-small-to-read-read-reading-gif-5494204

[zealous glen]

I think the error-avoiding way to do it would be

if context.post_trigger then
    local ret = context.other_ret
end

[wise jungle]

OOOOHHHH
okay okay i gotcha

[zealous glen]

something like this

[wise jungle]

yeah no lua is being mean to me i probably have been doing null checks in every single line lmao

[zealous glen]

you might want to avoid context.other_ret being nil anyways

[wintry solar]

oh I was planning on making a blueprint helper function

[wise jungle]

ahead of ya

[crisp coral]

bah

[zealous glen]

forgot local

[wintry solar]

maybe I should do that today

[zealous glen]

unless you created it outside of that block

[crisp coral]

but is this correct twt

[zealous glen]

twitter?

[red flower]

TwT

[wise jungle]

nah i didn't do it outside the block, good eye

[wintry solar]

probably should set context.blueprint_card to nil too

[zealous glen]

also you can write things like

var = var + (var_mod or 0)

[crisp coral]

oh yeah i forgot

but it doesnt seem to trigger at all

[wise jungle]

oh? wait lioke instead of the nil checks?

[wintry solar]

let me grab my blueprint effect

[zealous glen]

Yes

[wintry solar]

oh

return the table, don't use trigger_effect

[crisp coral]

ughghghjdshjghjdsghjdsg

i need to do two twt

[wintry solar]

hmmmm

calc_effect rather than trigger then

[zealous glen]

Use SMODS.merge_defaults?

to merge the tables?

then return them

or would that not work?

[crisp coral]

swag ty

[wise jungle]

should i enable that somewhere in SMOD optional features or what, because i think the other_ref returns nil because it doesnt return at anything in debug messages (i used table.concat for this)

[zealous glen]

yes

[wise jungle]

okay, to prevent from asking a lotta questions about this, is there like a page in wiki somewhere that tells all the things i can enable or not yet?

[wintry solar]

I don't think it's on the wiki yet

[wise jungle]

like i did enable post_trigger, and it works
and tried to enable other ref like that but it still keeps on giving me null

[zealous glen]

you can try searching the source code instead https://github.com/search?q=repo%3ASteamodded%2Fsmods+optional_features&type=code

[wintry solar]

just post_trigger is needed

[wise jungle]

okay all good
it still does keep on giving me nil other_ref though, can't access the MULT MODS gRRRAAAAAHHH 💥
i'll give the mod a pause though, i'm going to be busy with something soon anyways, but if theres suggestions i dont mind listening to them

[strong jacinth]

So this code makes you able to select 6 cards, not play them. Any idea why and how i fix it?

And how do i make this voucher only appear once.

[unkempt thicket]

I did this to get around that

[strong jacinth]

Wdym? Like can you show the whole Voucher code?

[zealous glen]

That's a patch that changes the line in the game code that prevents you from playing the hand

[unkempt thicket]

oh its a lovely patch thats all you need should work with anything reguards of the object type

[strong jacinth]

Can i just put that anywhere?

[zealous glen]

No

[unkempt thicket]

You have to put it in a lovely file

[zealous glen]

It needs to be in a .toml file

with a lovely header

[unkempt thicket]

[manifest] version = "1.0.0" dump_lua = true priority = 0

[zealous glen]

in a lovely folder

[slender mango]

why do the mult and chips reset

[humble girder]

you can't score before scoring

[manic rune]

yeah uh, am i understanding it wrong

[slender mango]

sobbing

[humble girder]

actually, this is weird, I'm not sure why it even works this way

mult = mod_mult(G.GAME.hands[text].mult)
hand_chips = mod_chips(G.GAME.hands[text].chips)

check_for_unlock({type = 'hand', handname = text, disp_text = non_loc_disp_text, scoring_hand = scoring_hand, full_hand = G.play.cards})

delay(0.4)

if G.GAME.first_used_hand_level and G.GAME.first_used_hand_level > 0 then
    level_up_hand(G.deck.cards[1], text, nil, G.GAME.first_used_hand_level)
    G.GAME.first_used_hand_level = nil
end

local hand_text_set = false
-- context.before calculations
SMODS.calculate_context({full_hand = G.play.cards, scoring_hand = scoring_hand, scoring_name = text, poker_hands = poker_hands, before = true})
        
-- TARGET: effects before scoring starts

mult = mod_mult(G.GAME.hands[text].mult)
hand_chips = mod_chips(G.GAME.hands[text].chips)

[strong jacinth]

so like this?

[humble girder]

seems to me like SMODS forcefully resets to avoid any before-context scoring

[wintry solar]

thats vanilla

[humble girder]

you could patch a context before mult, hand_chips, modded = G.GAME.blind:modify_hand(G.play.cards, poker_hands, text, mult, hand_chips) or before for _, v in ipairs(SMODS.get_card_areas('playing_cards')) do to serve your mod's needs

[wintry solar]

it's because context before is only used to level up hands

[humble girder]

ah

[wintry solar]

it's not really a "scoring" context per se

[strong jacinth]

Now it doesn't let me play the hand, even a 5 or lower hand...

[unkempt thicket]

you flipped the symbol it should be > not <

[manic rune]

isnt it supposed to return a table?

[slender mango]

i have no idea how to do that

[manic rune]

HM

[wintry solar]

it accepts a table of tables

[manic rune]

a table of tables?

so, i do this instead?

nope

[wintry solar]

what are your tables like before hand?

oh maybe this just merges tables that are integer indexed?

[manic rune]

the "chr" one is Asta

i tried it with simpler tables, doesnt seem to work too

[lavish lake]

guys what should I make for my mod Medium?

My vision:
This is a mod that makes purple seals more frequent and useful, as well as spectral cards. I want this mod to have around 20 jokers and a few vouchers. I want uncommon-rare joker ideas that have unique ways of triggering them, for example selling the joker to get a boost, or get a good boost temporarily for a few rounds. Purple Seals should be mentioned in the jokers, hence the name of the mod, Medium (the spectral card that makes purple seals).

[wintry solar]

it must be for tables that dont have keys

[manic rune]

💔

goddamn it

i wanted to somehow speed up the process of this

surely theres a better way 😭

[red flower]

Why don't you combine them normally and have a global table with the key order

[manic rune]

i thought of that too, but the thing is i still have the other table, which is character's configs

they dont retain their orders when i add them in

.

wait nvm, i misunderstood your idea

yeah let me try

[rich veldt]

how does create_card() exactly work?
(especially in terms of creating a joker)

[unkempt thicket]

Whats the weight of black hole?

[manic rune]

very heavy

[unkempt thicket]

Oh, i meant the card

[wise jungle]

lmao

[tall wharf]

is it possible to put custom object in info_queue somehow????

[crisp coral]

as long as its in G.localization.descriptions, yea

[tall wharf]

so i can just put a cardarea there somehow

[manic rune]

i saw someone adding blinds to info queue before

[crisp coral]

oh literal GameObjects

idk

[tall wharf]

cardarea in tooltip 😭

[strong jacinth]

How would a straight work with the evaluate pokerhand function

[red flower]

ez

[dreamy thunder]

oh wow

[tall wharf]

actually how

[red flower]

put this in genrate_ui on the object that you are displaying in the tooltip

[tall wharf]

huh

so object type

so if i were to make a joker

i just

generate_ui = function()
that thing
end

[red flower]

yes

[manic rune]

magical ui man

[red flower]

only if you're adding that joker in a tooltip, it doesn't add a tooltip to that joker

[manic rune]

how did you figure it out that fast though, damn

[tall wharf]

so if i add a tooltip to that joker i can d othat

[red flower]

because I already messed with that to change some things

[red flower]

it's kinda confusing but here I'm adding the card area to sheou to display when hovering house

[manic rune]

the j_joy_yokai_ash part, is that the card you are hovering or the card in the info queue?

[red flower]

the card inside the area

[manic rune]

got it

[tall wharf]

ok i will pretend to understand

and will update shortly

[manic rune]

i half-understand because N' basically hand-held me through the whole ui stuff at least twice now ❤️

[red flower]

i learned about how UI works with cardareas because eremel added one for jokerdisplay's config

[manic rune]

i see, how i learn UI is that i take ss of every ui-related code here and there, then put them inside a channel in case i need that specific feature...

and uh, from experience of doing that, im slowing understanding UI more and more

[red flower]

I should probably take some time to document my code today

[neat plover]

whats the variable to access the money of the player?

[red flower]

G.GAME.dollars

[neat plover]

thanks

[tall wharf]

i feel like i did something wrong

jimbo is a test

[manic rune]

i dont think you return anything in generate_ui

[red flower]

you need to call SMODS.Center.generate_ui(self, info_queue, card, desc_nodes, specific_vars, full_UI_table)

[tall wharf]

❤️

makes sense]

😔

[red flower]

yeah, it shows up when you put Netherite Pickaxe in another card's info_quueue

[tall wharf]

ah

ok

i get it now

[manic rune]

i pray to the lords of UI that this works first try.

🙏

[tall wharf]

actually yeah that makes sense now that you say it that way

[red flower]

you can also put the cardarea in the main description if you don't check for full UI table main

[tall wharf]

ah

understand now

[red flower]

letsgo

[tall wharf]

about to make this a util function

[manic rune]

is this supposed to return nothing

😭

[strong jacinth]

How would you create a straight if there was no.

[red flower]

your tables are cursed

[manic rune]

👻

[manic rune]

oh i figured it out, if the index of absoluteNecessary isnt int then i cant use ipairs

how do i sort them in order then, what

[red flower]

pairs doesn't guarantee order

[manic rune]

yeah

im trying to put all the keys in order

uh, this

surely i dont manually type them in

[neat plover]

can i do that?

[manic rune]

you can

[red flower]

just use vscode's regex

[manic rune]

and then theres the thing with characters' config too, im also supposed to order them

[neat plover]

phew!

[manic rune]

...do i just resort to manually putting in loc_vars at this point

[red flower]

can't you have the same loc_vars for everyone

[manic rune]

i cant

its different for everyone

except for the "type" and "element"

[red flower]

yeah you might need to do it manually

[manic rune]

goddamn it lua

😭

welp, i guess i tried

[broken cliff]

how did bro appear there

[manic rune]

i really hope no one will look at my code 🙏

[broken cliff]

its fine

[manic rune]

ive been trying for the past few days to find a way around this already, man

[broken cliff]

u have not seen 200+ if statements for all jimbos 😭

[manic rune]

im copying that

🔥

actually, does this count as plagarism or smt (my grammar sucks)

[tall wharf]

i mean

i don't mind

[red flower]

don't do add_to_deck or they're going to trigger effects

[tall wharf]

ah

[manic rune]

it was a joke, but im actually wondering if this is against the rules 😭

[tall wharf]

alr

[neat plover]

i want to do something like if gives you mult for every 5 dollars you have, but how do i do that

[manic rune]

math.floor(G.GAME.dollars/5)

i think

[neat plover]

cool

[red flower]

i would do floor

but yeah

[tall wharf]

programming would count as copying as extreme sport

[manic rune]

oh sh you are right, its floor

got floor and ceil functionality mixed

[red flower]

do you know where the ceiling is

[manic rune]

in this universe, probably

i actually hate when

if i were to add new stats

i would have to manually change the #num# of everything in localizations

can you do #num+smt#

[red flower]

you might need to create your own loc system lol

[manic rune]

godamdoamd

WHATEVER SAVES MY TIME AT THIS POINT 😭

where is the code located

im assuming smt related to ui in balatro source code

[red flower]

i dont remember how the parsing function was called

loc_parse_string

all the localization stuff seems to be in misc_functions

I think smods has some too

[manic rune]

i wonder if its any of those

[red flower]

nah I think those are just for reading the files

[manic rune]

mm i see

doesnt seem to lead me to misc_functions, so im guessing this is the only file which has loc functions?

[manic rune]

ghghghghgk i suck at this

thanks, hopefully i dont need a patch for this

[manic rune]

i wonder why am i torturing myself so hard for my first ever mod 😭

[red flower]

very cool

[manic rune]

...i fail to see how canio fits in there, but nice

[red flower]

i did the same

[tall wharf]

i got it working

and reusable function

[manic rune]

am i correct to assume i will need to increase this for #3+2# to work

[red flower]

no, I'm pretty sure it's the last elseif

[tall wharf]

reusable code for later

[red flower]

_s_ref in the highlighted part contains the "3+2" string

you need to parse that

[manic rune]

a patch it is

i think i know what im doing this time

this is just great

• i cant get the code working
• my parents seem to be getting in a huge argument right at this moment

[red flower]

https://tenor.com/view/mai-sakurajima-sakuta-anime-pat-gif-22595893

[manic rune]

ok this is just a giant assumption, but from what im hearing: my mom seems to be cheating

hopefully it remains at that

nothing more than a false assumption

[tall wharf]

😭

[strong jacinth]

Any idea why this crashes

[tall wharf]

nothing is returned

obviously

[strong jacinth]

Why does it crash at Ui definitions

When i open run info

[zealous glen]

I think it’s better to start with something simple

[manic rune]

i suppose so, but i love pushing myself beyond my limits

not like i will get an opportunity to do so ever again, if my life is as it is anyways

[normal crest]

https://tenor.com/view/read-the-fucking-docs-rtfm-skill-issue-legion-gif-26463667

[zealous glen]

You look like you need to talk to someone :0

[normal crest]

Oh whoops, I didn't mean to send that

Ignore it

[manic rune]

i do need help right now, things couldnt go any worse than this

[zealous glen]

What kind of help

[manic rune]

mental help

some stuff is going on in my family rn

[zealous glen]

I see

[manic rune]

the fact that this all happens during the weekend means i will have to stay at home and witness everything unfold

[zealous glen]

Do you have a friend or maybe a neutral third-party to confide to?

[manic rune]

i will probably go to my friend's house tomorrow

[strong jacinth]

Me?

[zealous glen]

Sounds like a good plan

Anything to do in the meantime?

[tall wharf]

LET'S GO

[manic rune]

dunno, i might just try to ignore everything as a whole

ignorance is bliss

i dont even know what is going to happen to me after this

[manic rune]

thats neat (whats with the blue particles)

[tall wharf]

a lot of head spinning

[strong jacinth]

Well then it shouldn't crash when i open run info

It is a rendering issue.

[zealous glen]

Makes sense, but I was wondering if you’d continue working on your Balatro mod or do something else

It’s good to focus on something that’ll make you more relaxed I think

[manic rune]

the thing is: i dont know if i would get the opportunity to continue on my mod after this

if everything goes wrong, i might publicize my mod files

[zealous glen]

Well, if you have the files in person or on the GitHub, you can come back later to it someday

[manic rune]

and uh, in which case, whoever wants to continue working on it can do so, i dont really mind

[zealous glen]

It can even be private on GitHub, I think

[manic rune]

i havent set up my github yet

[strong jacinth]

May i ask why you wouldn't be able to?

[zealous glen]

Might be a good time to do it

[manic rune]

some stuff going down in my family

you can guess the worst case scenario

and its actually pretty likely to happen

[strong jacinth]

Yeah, i heard what allegedly happend. Sorry for you my guy

[manic rune]

i actually already published all the files into a gg drive, i will let someone i trust hold onto it

and uh, if i dont go online within 1 week, they can post the link into my mod thread for me

[broken cliff]

there a smods.https now

[strong jacinth]

And what does that do=

[manic rune]

oh thats cool

[broken cliff]

access to the Web, basically

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

[zealous glen]

Well, I hope you’ll regain internet access soon :0

[manic rune]

mhm, i hope so too

[tall wharf]

hiiii

[manic rune]

hi

[zealous glen]

Hello

[manic rune]

what would i need to do if i want a joker to, uh

+4 mult (joker_main) then retriggers itself

wait nevermind im dumb, scrap that

[strong jacinth]

Does anyone know

[tall wharf]

how do i resize this in render

wait

[strong jacinth]

How do you make that text under?

[tall wharf]

it's a bug

[strong jacinth]

Oh

[gleaming zealot]

minecraft glass

[zealous glen]

I'd think setting the major would be enough

Are you setting the letters' scale?

[manic rune]

how the fuck did i get 2940 retriggers

😭

thats concerning

[tall wharf]

did and worked

[zealous glen]

So you stopped setting it?

The card examples are cute

[tall wharf]

it was not set

[tall wharf]

n helped me with this

[strong jacinth]

How do i get the hand played like that cards with evaluate(parts, hand)

[manic rune]

n' the goat

[strong jacinth]

yes

[zealous glen]

Hmm, so why did it look wrong?

[tall wharf]

scale was not properly set

that was it

[zealous glen]

But are you setting it manually?

[manic rune]

...oh, thats why

uh

accidentally made it so

retriggers = squared of itself

[tall wharf]

kinda

in render i had to just make the scale the same as the card

@red flower would it be possible to put these in info_queue things too

[zealous glen]

I thought it would be automatic

[zealous glen]

it should

you can try it

Put your Joker in another Joker's info_queue

[red flower]

they should be there too yeah

[tall wharf]

or do i have to make another entry

[dense vector]

Holy shit it's a Scribblenauts reference

[tall wharf]

for example if i want the card there

[manic rune]

i think its possible

since the box in info_queue should work the same way as how jokers' description works

[zealous glen]

try this

[strong jacinth]

Yo wsg N'

[red flower]

This works but If you want only the cards to be there then you might need to create another object or hook the generate ui function

oops didnt meant to ping

[red flower]

whats up

[zealous glen]

It's ok

[strong jacinth]

Can you help me rq

[red flower]

no

[manic rune]

swearing is allowed, dont worry :3

[strong jacinth]

awe man

[red flower]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[manic rune]

N', how many of those websites do you have

[tall wharf]

ok so

[manic rune]

😭

[tall wharf]

here is my loc_vars

[red flower]

someone else posted it here recently

[tall wharf]

what i am asking if it's possible to just do it from here

[manic rune]

ah i see

[red flower]

i dont think so

[strong jacinth]

This N', and how do i get the played cardos

[tall wharf]

or do i have to make a dummy center object to help with these

[red flower]

you probably need to make an object, I'm not sure

[strong jacinth]

What do you mean make an object

[red flower]

i was replying to aiko

no idea about yours honestly

[manic rune]

...hm

joker_retriggers are wonky asf

i initially thought if i were to retrigger a joker, it would still run the if statement and allat, but it goes straight to this

thats odd

[strong jacinth]

Oh, but how do i get the played cardos?

[zealous glen]

Do what? If you want to display the Joker's tooltip in another Joker, you just pass the Joker to the info_queue

[quasi bison]

is there any documentation for the G variable?

[manic rune]

oh nope, it just retriggers the FIRST played card, what the hell

[red flower]

never made a poker hand

[red flower]

no, you need to look at the game's code

[quasi bison]

alright

any specific file?

[tall wharf]

want the silly preview cards to appear in the small info boxes

[wintry solar]

Your first loop wouldn’t do anything the second time round right?

[red flower]

globals.lua and game.lua mostly but it's a global table used all over the place

[quasi bison]

ty

[zealous glen]

Just the preview cards or the whole Joker

?

[manic rune]

i actually think it will be quicker to just show the vid of it happening, wait

[strong jacinth]

Then how would you do it for a joker?

[tall wharf]

?

[red flower]

they're either in context.full_hand or G.play

[strong jacinth]

Can you do G.play[1]

[manic rune]

https://streamable.com/dz9tad

[strong jacinth]

And can you do G.play.length

[zealous glen]

If you add the whole Joker to a tooltip, it should also include the cards. I suggested you do it to test that the cards can appear in info boxes

[red flower]

G.play.cards[1]

[wintry solar]

Where are your retriggers coming from?

[red flower]

#G.play.cards

[tall wharf]

the Example text isn't an object but it's ok ill try to figure shit on my own

[manic rune]

i dont think any other code checks for the played card, other than the part i showed above

HSRContextHandler is basically a function combining the check for different contexts, and return some stuff from which

[wintry solar]

So this card has a self retriggers property of 14?

[manic rune]

mhm

[wintry solar]

So what’s the problem?

[manic rune]

is it supposed to have the "Again!" pop out on the played card 14 times too?

[wintry solar]

If you retrigger it 14 times, of course it is

[slender mango]

lets go

[wintry solar]

Oh it should be in the joker though

[manic rune]

yeah, the code should stop checking the played card after the "+1 Astronomy!" pops, as shown in this

[wintry solar]

So you don’t want it to retrigger?

[manic rune]

mhm

it actually doesnt break anything, just that it looks odd

[wintry solar]

Then stop it from entering thet part like you do with blueprint

[strong jacinth]

Anyone?

Any poker hands creator experts

[manic rune]

how would i do that, is there a context like "not context.blueprint" but for retriggers specifically?

[wintry solar]

Yeah

[clear epoch]

first of all you should check for the G.play.cards[i].rank, not for the card itself

[wintry solar]

I don’t remember it off the top of my head

[manic rune]

is it something like "not context.retrigger_joker" lol

found this at the bottom of the calculate documentation, not sure if its the right one

[wintry solar]

That sounds correct

[clear epoch]

othwerwise you're checking the cards' "identity", not their properties

[whole grove]

Does anyone know how I can make a joker that changes the rank of a card that is played?

[broken cliff]

how does the spelling work wtf

im still confused

[strong jacinth]

And second of all?

[manic rune]

doesnt seem to work, hm

[tall wharf]

nice

[gleaming zealot]

Red Seal Polychrome Glass Ace of Spades

[clear epoch]

second of all i am NOT an expert on making poker hands actually, best thing i can help you with is redirect you to the royal flush example mod https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/RoyalFlush

maybe digging through cryptid src code also might help if this isn't enough

[manic rune]

even tried this huge chunk of if statement, doesnt work either

doesnt seem like context.retrigger_joker does anything, sadly

...its just a bit annoying visual-wise, so i guess i can work with that

[clear epoch]

what's the joker supposed to do?

[manic rune]

it checks for the played card, and see if its suit has already been played

if it has been played, ignore it

else, increases a certain variable once and set the played suit to true, preventing other playing cards of the same suit from triggering it

[wintry solar]

You’re checking if it’s true here

[clear epoch]

for that you need to manually enable an option, it looks like this:

   retrigger_joker = true,
}```

[manic rune]

the retrigger joker code wouldnt even work if i didnt have that turned on lol

[clear epoch]

put this at the beginning of your main mod file

[manic rune]

i already had that set to true, as you can see by how my joker can retrigger itself

[manic rune]

its two blocks of "or" (i dont know the terms for those ❤️)

• the first one checks if context.retrigger_joker is there. if it is, ignore if context.retrigger_joker is itself
• the second one checks if context.retrigger_joker is not there, if it isnt then the code will go through

i also tried with just this, no luck though

[clear epoch]

is AllSuits some global variable i'm unaware of or did you define it yourself?

[manic rune]

its this lol

[zealous glen]

again you can have the entire Joker tooltip, which should include the example, to show up just by passing the Joker to another object. But if that's not what you want then you can do something else

[wintry solar]

Can you throw a print(context.retrigger_joker and “yes” or “no”) in pls

[manic rune]

inside the whole if statement? sure, wait

[clear epoch]

hmmm well first of all i'd highly advise against creating a different field in card.ability for each suit, i can only assume that messes things up a little. try a local table instead

gimme a sec and i'll show u what i mean

[wintry solar]

It wouldn’t cause any issues at all

[wintry solar]

Okay

So it is working

Just it’s still spamming the again

[manic rune]

yeah

only happens if i play a card of a suit which hasn't been played too

[wintry solar]

Yes

This is from smods assuming that a card that returns something can be retriggered

[manic rune]

oof

is there any way i can work around this?

[wintry solar]

There is but I think waiting for a smods fix would be cleaner

Add no_retrigger = true to the return table

I’ll make it work at some point 🤣

[manic rune]

i see, but since its just a visual stuff i think it will be fine anyways, thanks :D

[wintry solar]

You should still add it, that message spam is awful 🤣

[manic rune]

fortunately its just me setting the joker's speed really high to see if the retriggers work anyways, so before the fix it shouldnt matter too much lol

[clear epoch]

@manic rune try this for your suit counting:

    if context.cardarea == G.play then
        local suits = suits or {["Spades"] = 0, ["Hearts"] = 0, ["Clubs"] = 0, ["Diamonds"] = 0}
        if context.individual then
            for k, v in pairs(suits) do
                if context.other_card:is_suit(k) then suits[k] = suits[k] + 1 end
            end
        end
    end
end```

i'm not saying it will fix the retriggering directly buuuut maybe it will somehow help smods bug out less

[manic rune]

oh, but the thing is that i want my joker not counting that suit for the rest of the round

[clear epoch]

even easier then

[manic rune]

and since that should definitely be saved, i used card.ability to achieve that

[clear epoch]

one sec

[wintry solar]

Yeah the suit counting is fine

Though you probably don’t need to loop through all the suits every time

[manic rune]

oh yeah

i think i was supposed to remove the loop 😭

wait nevermind, that was the part of another joker

ghhh my brain is fried

[whole grove]

pls?

[clear epoch]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.setting_blind then
        suits = {["Spades"] = 0, ["Hearts"] = 0, ["Clubs"] = 0, ["Diamonds"] = 0}
    end

    if context.cardarea == G.play then
        if context.individual then
            for k, v in pairs(suits) do
                if context.other_card:is_suit(k) then suits[k] = suits[k] + 1 end
            end
        end
    end
end``` once again it most likely won't fix the issue but it might be worth a shot

plus i think it might be a bit more readable for the future

[manic rune]

oh, is the "suits" variable outside the calculate?

[clear epoch]

yep

[manic rune]

like, they are around here? (and i think you should help NoplayerCh too, i dont know how change ranks of played cards 😭)

[clear epoch]

this is technically not recommended but i've used it before when counting suits and i saw no issue rise whatsoever

[clear epoch]

i will, and yes right there

[manic rune]

have you tried re-entering the run to see if it saves

thats the main reason why i used card.ability lol

but if it does then i can actually see myself using it, thanks

[strong jacinth]

The only thing i need help with is my crash when i tap on run info

[clear epoch]

it most definitely should, although i've never counted suits for the whole round

so probably 99% chance it does save

if that doesn't work

i'd do the same thing ancient joker and castle do and add a global variable in Game:init_game_object()

and ride off that thing

[manic rune]

i personally wouldnt add a global variable if its only used by one joker lol, but yeah, thats definitely one method

[clear epoch]

i mean, thunk did it and it was perfectly fine

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cerulean rose]

any idea why my sticker is appearing on cards from judgement?

local hook2 = create_card
function create_card(_type, area, legendary, _rarity, skip_materialize, soulable, forced_key, key_append)
    local ret = hook2(_type, area, legendary, _rarity, skip_materialize, soulable, forced_key, key_append)
    if G.GAME.modifiers.enable_pencil_paralyzed and pseudorandom((area == G.pack_cards and "pack" or "") .. "_pencil_paralyzed" .. G.GAME.round_resets.ante) > 0.7
        and _type == "Joker" and (area == G.shop_jokers or area == G.pack_cards) then
        SMODS.Stickers.pencil_paralyzed:apply(ret, true)
    end
    return ret
end

[clear epoch]

if context.individual and context.cardarea = G.play then
  SMODS.change_base(context.other_card, nil, [insert rank here])
end```

[cerulean rose]

would it also work to add the variable to the joker's center?

[wintry solar]

you should just have a table like card.ability.extra.suits and then toggle ones that ahve bene played

[whole grove]

thx 👍

[wintry solar]

like if not card.ability.extra.suits[context.other_card.base.suit] then --code here end

[clear epoch]

the rank should be a string, and for ranks higher than 10 use their name not a number

[wintry solar]

no need for any loops

[clear epoch]

honestly yeah that's probably by far the best option

[manic rune]

...oh, you can get suits with context.other_card.base.suit? just knew that, thanks :D

[clear epoch]

my brain is probably also fried rn XD

[wintry solar]

and then just clear the table whenever you need to reset it

[manic rune]

(im still new at this whole modding stuff, dont blame me for not knowing these please 😭)

[cerulean rose]

will misbehave with wild cards tho

[manic rune]

i can always put a check to see if it has wild enhancement lol

[wintry solar]

depends on the use case

do you want a wild card to count for all suits?

[clear epoch]

depends on how they wanna use it

[manic rune]

i do

oh actually, does :is_suit() count for wild cards?

neat

[cerulean rose]

bump

[clear epoch]

alternatively you can do a if context.other_card.ability.center == "m_wild" check before all other suit counting if you want a special interaction with wild cards(i.e. giving the remaining of 4 astrometry possible for the round at the same time)

[cerulean rose]

use SMODS.has_enhancement rather than checking the card's value directly

[clear epoch]

probably for the better, yeah

[wintry solar]

aren't stickers just rolled for passively anyway?

[cerulean rose]

are they?

lemme check

[onyx sonnet]

whats the context that glass cards use for being destroyed? im trying to do something with a similar timing

[clear epoch]

i'm just a bit too lazy to read through all of the util functions, especially since they constantly get added and they go undocumented

[wintry solar]

context.destroying_card

[grim remnant]

trying to figure out DeckSkin, any clue why the images just aren't showing up? (the only other thing we could find to this effect resolved it by just gutting the tutorial, which feels a bit inefficient for what we're trying to do.)

[onyx sonnet]

oh destroyed cards have their own timing in scoring?

[wintry solar]

what does your image look like?

[cerulean rose]

the keys passed here are missing their prefixes

[grim remnant]

stuff like this. yes this mod is literally just to put the StP art on the other suits.

[wintry solar]

I think you have the pos_style wrong

deck would expect the full deck sheet iirc

[clear epoch]

aren't the prefixes added automatically though?

[tall wharf]

ok so how do i register my own centers properly im trying to get the funny description working

[onyx sonnet]

it doesnt seem to work

[clear epoch]

try context.after

[onyx sonnet]

context after was crashing my game

[cerulean rose]

does not seem to be the case

[onyx sonnet]

with an error i couldnt really decipher

[grim remnant]

that was it. pos_style = 'collab' was what we were looking for ;P

[clear epoch]

try it again and send the error here maybe?

[onyx sonnet]

will do

[tall wharf]

it's in here but it's not in P_CENTER_POOLS

[clear epoch]

cuz as far as i am aware destroy_card is the context for things like caino when cards are destroyed

[onyx sonnet]

nevermind it works but only for the first card

[cerulean rose]

it triggers once and passes an array of cards

if they all break at the same time

[onyx sonnet]

this is suppossed to destroy all sealed cards after a hand finishes scoring, and it increases mult for every destroyed card in this manner

[wintry solar]

if context.destroying_card and context.destroying_card.seal then
  card.ability.extra.x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult + card.ability.extra.scaling
  return { remove = true }
end

that's all you need

[onyx sonnet]

really?

[clear epoch]

the context.main_eval is the issue for sure, just try eremel's method for now
