hey in this tutorial, what does card = card, do?

in the function
lyric wadi
hey in this tutorial, what does `card = card,` do?
https://youtu.be/Zp-4U5TlbxY?...
it defines the card that the thing applies to
bold sleet
hey in this tutorial, what does `card = card,` do?
https://youtu.be/Zp-4U5TlbxY?...
uh... sets card, as a variable, as card, as a function parameter.
rose dragon
in the function
it's indicating which card is returning it i think?
it's not necessary though
frosty dock

so then like

does G.GAME store the current played hand?
long urchin
if im making something that triggers at the end of the round do i include it
rose dragon
if im making something that triggers at the end of the round do i include it
you dont need to
frosty dock
it's needed in vanilla scoring calculation in some places
with smods you don't ever need to include it
long urchin
ok so im not calculating score

Im trying to create a random playing card with equal chance for all seals, editions, enhancements and lack thereof but instead of the card being added to the deck it gets created on the screen and it kinda just stays there?
long urchin
alright

frosty dock
card = card just isn't needed with smods
bold sleet
sounds funny, tho
long urchin
ok so additionally
frosty dock
yeah but it does nothing
bold sleet
card = card "no shit!"
lyric wadi
uhh
frosty dock
that is not a context

thats an smods function

it's a separate function, add_to_deck

@frosty dock What do I need to copy a calculation function?
bold sleet
note: this has an unintended effect

bold sleet
how do i blueprint
Elaborate further.
lyric wadi
how to code blueprint
bold sleet
-# fuck no idea on that one
lyric wadi
i want to make Redprint real
frosty dock
it will be reset as soon as set_cost is called on the card
bold sleet
print()
and also preferably Green Needle
bold sleet
it will be reset as soon as set_cost is called on the card
then what do I put?
frosty dock
you should set card.ability.extra_value to modify sell cost
bold sleet
It has to be a fixed value, always.
frosty dock
the other effect is that it resets when the card gets undebuffed
frosty dock
It has to be a fixed value, always.
then subtract the sell cost from the value you want
long urchin
whats the default sell cost
frosty dock
the other effect is that it resets when the card gets undebuffed
this matters because sell cost is changeable by other effects
lyric wadi
half of buy cost rounded down
bold sleet
uh...
lyric wadi
not accounting for editions
frosty dock
fg_common?
frosty dock
not accounting for editions
this is not true
bold sleet
fg_common?
Custom rarity.
lyric wadi
no i just meant that i have not account for editions yet
frosty dock
common but common, huh.
long urchin
then subtract the sell cost from the value you want
so assuming im gonna set the buy cost to 1, if i want the sell cost to be 5 i should do card.ability.extra_value = 4?
bold sleet
common but common, huh.
No, common?, which is different from common, since you need a joker to allow common? jokers to spawn.
lyric wadi
is this paralell universe content
frosty dock
so assuming im gonna set the buy cost to 1, if i want the sell cost to be 5 i sh...
then the sell cost will be 5 assuming no edition on the card

the video is a bit oudated, but generally does well at telling you what to do
-# (note: there are some parts in the video where they called cards "center". don't do that, it's a bad practice, they are cards)

its a good practice to check out the example mods, as well as other mods too for reference

ive made 2 seals so far and one of them has this problem and the other does not

anyone know why a modded seal's label would show up as ERROR
there's an error
stiff locust
and yet they both use almost identical code and localization
frosty dock
stiff locust
i literally copy pasted it and only changed the strings so im very confused by this
frosty dock
you got this?
long urchin
after setting the extra_value try calling card:set_cost()
how do this? explain like i have a hole in my brain pls :]
stiff locust
you got this?
i use a separate localization file
i do have the label section
it simply does not work for the 2nd seal, only for the 1st
plush cove
how do this? explain like i have a hole in my brain pls :]
so basically what you need to do is--oh wait, you have a hole in your brain, you should get that checked out

does it use the correct key?

no its fine i was born like that

ty
manic rune
but I think its a smods thing
stiff locust
can i see
not the exact code (i dont wanna show it) but it's literally this with the key and strings swapped out and both seals do this, it is in the Other set as expected
["pref_placeholder_seal"] = {
["label"] = "Seal Name",
["name"] = "Seal Name",
["text"] = {
"Seal {C:attention}Effect",
"{C:inactive}(must have room)",
},
},
not just debug.plus

wiggles don't work for modded blinds for some reason >_<
use G.GAME.blind:wiggle() not self:wiggle()

okay

ohh my god
I
yeah
I forgot about that
the other one is in misc.labels but this one isn't
also is there an easy way to apply the gold seal shader to a modded seal
long urchin
the line after you do the extra_cost thing write `card:set_cost()`
it didtn work its still $1 dollar sell :(

how can i remove an edition from a joker/playing card?

it didtn work its still $1 dollar sell :(
can i see how the the code looks now

card.ability.extra_value = -101,
card:set_cost(-100)
ease_dollars(100)
end,```i tried it with just card:set_cost) aswell without the -100
red flower
it's weird that the comma didn't throw a syntax error
old bane
would a card without an edition return nil if card:get_edition() was called?
red flower
oh my problem was that you had an extra comma, not that you were missing one lol
sonic cedar
not using windows search 😭 that does not look for file contents
SORRY i wasn’t home 😭
vscode search right
is there a specific file?

wait whar
frosty dock
SORRY i wasn’t home 😭

the -101 isnt supposed to have a comma?????

no

why?????????
red flower
lua
sonic cedar
global search on your mods folder
haven’t done that before, how would i start that up?
long urchin
luas rules do not make sense
frosty dock
it's weird that the comma didn't throw a syntax error
that is parsed as card.ability.extra_value = -101, card:set_cost(-100), which just discards the superfluous value
long urchin
IT WORKS

yeah i imagined

for some reason this is triggered by every single hand i play, not just flushes and straight flushes
what have i done wrong here?

for some reason this is triggered by every single hand i play, not just flushes ...
correct me if im wrong but shouldnt it be ['Flush','Straight Flush']
not or?

oh
manic rune
shouldnt it be that
long urchin
nvm iunno lua like that lol
manic rune
im dumb tho so maybe they r the same :3
sonic cedar
for some reason this is triggered by every single hand i play, not just flushes ...
you have to call them separately iirc- yeah like what bepis said
sacred lily
ok
simple mural
```lua
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.joker_main then

Now (or tommorow) i need replace $ to bonus probabilities and chips to multiply 
long urchin
so i have a question about this code:
if i were to find an edition of this card would it throw off the sell value or is it still 100?
card.ability.extra_value = -101
card:set_cost(-100)
ease_dollars(100)
end,```development resumes tomorrow, some may say...
red flower
so i have a question about this code:
if i were to find an edition of this card ...
it will be higher
sacred lily
you have to call them separately iirc- yeah like what bepis said
nope, still being triggered by absolutely any hand
long urchin
development tomorrow
long urchin
it will be higher
fuck
manic rune
oh yeah
shouldnt there be next before the context.poker_hands stuff?
i saw it being used for this before
red flower
yeah poker_hands start as an empty table iirc
rose dragon
how can i remove an edition from a joker/playing card?

sacred lily
shouldnt there be `next` before the context.poker_hands stuff?
oh shit how did i forget that
thanks that fixed it
manic rune
next(context.poker_hands["Flush"]) or next(context.poker_hands["Straight Flush"])
probably that
oh, nice
long urchin
it will be higher
ok how do i account for that is there a variable for the current sell value that i can do a calc with, like something like this (hypothetically)
card.ability.extra_value = -100 - card.sell
card:set_cost(-100 - card.sell)
ease_dollars(100)
end,```now the thing is pretty much done except tfor the art
long urchin
(card.sell isnt real probably)
red flower
ok how do i account for that is there a variable for the current sell value that...
everything inside set_cost does nothing
long urchin
oh
frosty dock
card.sell_cost, not card.sell
red flower
you can change card.sell_cost directly but that might get ruined if set_cost is called again
personally I hook set_cost for this
long urchin
`card.sell_cost`, not card.sell
i know i was just making up nonsense to illustrate the question
but i did get close lol
frosty dock
you have to call them separately iirc- yeah like what bepis said
in this case, not really. every straight flush already contains a flush
frosty dock
you can change card.sell_cost directly but that might get ruined if set_cost is ...
this is what extra_value is for though
sonic cedar
ahhh i see
frosty dock
for some reason this is triggered by every single hand i play, not just flushes ...
next(context.poker_hands['Flush'])
red flower
this is what extra_value is for though
It's easier that having to account for editions and stuff and also giving different cost and sell_cost
sacred lily

fair enough
sonic cedar

yeah the issue has been fixed earlier but thank you
just wanted to point out that checking for straight flush is not needed

yes
unlocked, discovered and no_collection should be outside of config
and extra should not be inside of another table inside config
sonic cedar
why are they in the config section on the wiki though?

is this because i am switching the edition with debugplus or does my code not work :V
frosty dock
why are they in the config section on the wiki though?
... they are not-?
frosty dock
these are all separate parameters

im assuming its the debugplus since it happened not when i added it to my deck but after, but how do i add an edition version without doing that?

you can tell by how they're not inside of config

it's Xmult

if that doesn't work, i don't think your localization file is being loaded
this was correct, thank you

I was going to say because I checked both baseball card and the SMODs version of observatory to double check
frosty dock
like a second `text = {` in the localization file? or no
a second some_other_key = { name = '', text = {} }
frosty dock
it's Xmult
smods does not care if you use xmult, x_mult, Xmult or even x_mult_mod

ohh

what the fuck

weird

i know nothing

1. what's the config table of your joker looking like?

uoh
sonic cedar
a second `some_other_key = { name = '', text = {} }`
how's this?
is gray a valid color actually
frosty dock
hm that should be fine for your purposes
vale lake
yeah that's why I'm confused
long urchin
is gray a valid color actually
do you mean inactive or something else
sonic cedar
im trying to get that OTHER gray that's not inactive
long urchin
ok
frosty dock
that's not a thing
sonic cedar
maybe it was modded then
frosty dock
yeah that's why I'm confused
have you confirmed this if statement is being entered?
frosty dock
maybe it was modded then
of course there's other gray colors in the game
but {C:gray} isn't a thing
sonic cedar
but {C:gray} isn't a thing
ohhhhhh
vale lake
you can always define it yourself though
just replace 'Gamer' with the name of the color and the hex code with the color you want
simple mural
I made my first joker
sonic cedar
preferably not nested inside anything else though
that would be annoying yeah
long urchin
is the mod enabled
theres nothing saying it isnt, like an ignore file in the folder
would something else disable it?
simple mural
I made my first joker
This gain xmult per each bonus probabilities
unkempt thicket
Where does this go in a localization file?
vale lake
idk what's wrong then
weird, well thanks anyway
sonic cedar
what's the 'red' for? i change that too right?
vale lake
I think it's just for initializing the color thing
don't change it
it doesn't actually do anything
frosty dock
what's the `'red'` for? i change that too right?
can be anything. it's just that the color args don't exist until there's been a call to loc_colour
long urchin
weird, well thanks anyway
i mean, its a long shot but you could always try just changing the variable from x_mult to xmult
maybe the code is being mean
sonic cedar
got it thanks you two
frosty dock
like i said smods doesn't care and definitely recognizes x_mult
vale lake
tried it, didn't work
long urchin
alr
long urchin
then is it a problem with the return function that message is bypassing?
sonic cedar
does color changing work on the NAME of a Joker?
frosty dock
... that's cursed
vale lake
then is it a problem with the return function that message is bypassing?
the message was only added to try and debug this
it was already not working before I added it
frosty dock
sanity check, does Xmult_mod work?
distant grove
what do i put for the path and atlas?
long urchin
yeah try calling it somewhere else maybe
vale lake
sanity check, does `Xmult_mod` work?
nope
long urchin
wuh oh
frosty dock
do you still have a message
long urchin
have you tried a salt circle
sacred lily
I’ve noticed that the “random” number my joker triggers is the same for every hand and only changes per seed
frosty dock
and on the message, the mult does not change
sonic cedar
a second `some_other_key = { name = '', text = {} }`
is there a similar method for the description's mod badge? like an off/on situation
sacred lily
can it be made truly random? so it changes every turn?
vale lake
and on the message, the mult does not change
correct
vale lake
have you tried a salt circle
honestly not a bad option at this point
frosty dock
okay something isn't adding up
is baseball card actually changing mult?
or does it just say that it does
vale lake
I can check rq but I think it was
frosty dock
because there is literally no difference
long urchin
is there a problem with calling the function? since baseball card is built into the game but this is a separate file maybe
long urchin
what
vale lake
I kept continuing the same run
long urchin
YOU WERENT RESETTING?????
vale lake
and since card variables persist between runs it didn't update the card's xmult
long urchin
good night john
frosty dock
i can't take any more of this

I'm so sorry aure, get some rest

the game crashes because "center is a nil value"

before i get myself into more tech support, i shall vanish

i suspect that the issue lies in my joker's code

i did this after being told to not have hanging commas

i did the opposite
sonic cedar
I would be a very power person if I had a dollar for everytime I forgot a "then"...
did you mean powerful
tall apex
where do people put the atlas usually?
vale lake
did you mean powerful
me forgetting stuff also extends to my regular speech too
I think I just type too fast for my own good
simple mural
latent portal
so good news is my joker doesnt crash the game
bad news is it also doesnt do... much of anything
simple mural
tall apex
love this
vale lake
this is a very cool but niche card
unless your mod also adds more cards that change probabilities
simple mural
unless your mod also adds more cards that change probabilities
I just made my first joker
latent portal
This is the code for my joker. I'm trying to make it so that it grants +22 Mult if all played cards are suitless. Did I do somehting wrong here?
if context.final_scoring_step and context.cardarea == G.play then
for _, v in ipairs(G.play) do --For each card in played hand...
if not SMODS.has_no_suit(v) then
return --Returns nothing if card has a suit
else
--Continues if card is suitless
end
return {
mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
}
end
end
end
}```why are you using final_scoring_step?
latent portal
I'm not supposed to?
vale lake
only for certain situations
latent portal
Fair
vale lake
like plasma deck balacing your hand
latent portal
Should I use joker_main instead then?
vale lake
yeah
not sure if that's the issue but it's just a good thing to do
actually it might be
idk
final_scoring_step is weird
latent portal
Still nothing.
vale lake
oh
latent portal
Is G.play the right thing to reference?
vale lake
context.cardarea won't G.play
yeah
just do context.joker_main
you don't need context.cardarea here
latent portal
ah okay
simple mural
this is a very cool but niche card
What if i do x1 for each bonux probabilities?
latent portal
Still nothing.
simple mural
Too unbalanced?
vale lake
maybe
tall apex
hey question goobers
vale lake
I think the main issue is that probabilities can only be affected by one joker
tall apex
im trying to put my joker descriptions in localization but this says its a null value
vale lake
if you want to do something that gives mult for it, you would probably need to add more stuff to raise them
simple mural
if you want to do something that gives mult for it, you would probably need to a...
Maybe ill make more jokers later
vale lake
Still nothing.
hold on let me put it in vscode
it's easier to examine with syntax highlighting
vale lake
yeah
latent portal
I'm not really familiar with pairs and ipairs
vale lake
what you would want to do in this situation
is loop through the entire hand
with for i=1, #G.play.cards do
actually first you would want a local variable called hasnosuits
and you set it to true
distant grove
how do you do per discarded card?
latent portal
it's easier to exit if you find a card with a suit
and then put the actual return after
vale lake
yeah
that's what I'm saying
you put the actual returning in the loop itself which isn't correct
simple mural
unless your mod also adds more cards that change probabilities
I want to make all vanilla Jokers with shifted value types like here
For example: money -> probabilities, chips -> xmult
vale lake
if context.joker_main then
local hasnosuit = true
for i=1, #G.play.cards do --For each card in played hand...
if not SMODS.has_no_suit(G.play.cards[i]) then
hasnosuit = false
break
end
end
if hasnosuit then
return {
mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
}
end
end
end```something like this would work
vale lake
no problem
vale lake
I want to make all vanilla Jokers with shifted value types like here
it that case it could probably work
as long as there are more jokers that give you more opportunities to increase your probabilities it's a good card
though I would say they should probably be conditional
latent portal
IT WORKS!!!
simple mural
it that case it could probably work
if i set x1 mult for each probability then u need only 7 oops jokers for x128 mult
With vanilla jokers
simple mural
yea
summer flume
chat i need help... trying to make a challenge deck using custom suits and getting this.
works just fine with nothing set under deck.cards (therefore all cards are enabled, including modded ones), or only vanilla cards set under deck.cards, but the moment I add a custom card that I have already defined through SMODS.Atlas, SMODS.Suit, and SMODS.Rank it breaks

does anyone know what C: tag i need to use to get green text
old bane
just green
latent portal
thank you

Is there a way to boot the game (change config file maybe?) into windowed mode instead of it going from full screen to windowed? I saw this answered on reddit, but I don't have a conf.lua file to alter

long urchin
im back
distant grove
latent portal
quick question
distant grove
why is it nil?
long urchin
did you set up the value table
latent portal
i'm making a joker that has double sell value by default
and always has x2 sell value
how would i go about doing that
long urchin
rip
long urchin
``` card.ability.extra_value = card.sell_cost * 2
card:set_cost()...
i may be wrong
latent portal
``` card.ability.extra_value = card.sell_cost * 2
card:set_cost()...
where exactly would i put this
long urchin
card.ability.extra_value = card.sell_cost * 2
card:set_cost()
end,``` put this in the smods.joker areawell okay
long urchin
thats the call to activate at the time its added to your jokers
latent portal
okay but i want it to activate
all the time
so it has synergy with jokers that increase sell value
long urchin
i dont exactly know how to do that
@vale lake hey youre smarter than me
do you know
red flower
infinite wishes
long urchin
cherry wants a card to permanently have x2 sell value
like not just when its made, but all the time so it has synergy with like gift card n stuff
i only know how to change it initially not how to keep it x2
vale lake
that sounds like a massive headache but technically possible IF it's an edition or ehancement or something
red flower
local set_cost_ref = Card.set_cost
function Card:set_cost()
set_cost_ref(self)
if self.config.center.key == "j_modprefix_key" then
self.sell_cost = self.sell_cost * 2
end
end
that's basically what i would do
(edited to check for key)
latent portal
i'll try it
red flower
oh but you need to check for your jokers key
vale lake
I think that breaks with some stuff
red flower
like what
vale lake
like giftcard I think
sonic cedar
trying to set up a dynamic description. where do i go from here?
red flower
and victin said it could also break with loading the run again
that doesn't happen to me
long urchin
trying to set up a dynamic description. where do i go from here?

was this for me
distant grove
instead of card.ability.extra.mult_mod??
vale lake
card.ability.extra_value
you'd have to do some calculations to make it sell value x2 and then the extra cost from cards like giftcard
distant grove
nvm
long urchin
so if you plug that in, itll display 100 in your description
old bane
does G.play only store scored cards or does it store every card, even if they aren't scored? cause i need to know what cards are scored and what cards are not scored for a blind
sonic cedar
so if you plug that in, itll display 100 in your description
well i know that much
im trying to get it to change depending on whether or not you have the joker

i thought you meant how to use the # thing
no i got that dw

uhm there should be a way to check if its in your hand, you could just do an if else with that
lemme see
red flower
where would i paste this exactly
anywhere in your code but not inside your joker or anything else
latent portal
okay thank you
sonic cedar
anywhere in your code but not inside your joker or anything else
why did you even say anywhere lmao
long urchin
if context.joker_main then?
sonic cedar
well that's for calculation
red flower
why did you even say anywhere lmao
anywhere not inside something is a set of places
long urchin
could you not use that in any case, not just calcs?
sonic cedar
i dont
believe so?
sonic cedar
i mean considering they are literally calculation contexts they're likely gona break but
sure i'll give it a whirl
sacred lily
how do i permanently give a joker more mult based on a condition?
long urchin
i mean is there a way to change the local txt in add_to_deck = function(self,card,from_debuff)
red flower
how do i permanently give a joker more mult based on a condition?
you add it to a field inside card.ability.extra
(for example card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + 1)

You can change between the two descriptions but it's a hassle, I recommend using {V:1}, etc to change the colors instead
