2. I dont understand any of this ui.

[latent portal]

ITS NOT WORKING 😭 😭

[onyx sonnet]

why does this always set the edition to foil?

[stuck seal]

Okay so I have this in the code, now how do I make a run win instantly?

[orchid thunder]

WHAT CAN I USE TO DETECT IF A MOD IS LOADED

oop caps

[strong jacinth]

Smods

Click mods

[orchid thunder]

like in code

[strong jacinth]

Oh

Idk

[frosty dock]

next(SMODS.find_mod('abcdef'))

[strong jacinth]

Yo aure

Wait

[frosty dock]

no

why would I wait

[modern kindle]

Patience is a virtue

[strong jacinth]

cuz

why not

[onyx sonnet]

bump

[frosty dock]

counterpoint:

[strong jacinth]

How would I create a button that creates a popup. Im stuck on this.

[long sun]

(bump)

[modern kindle]

Fuck you're

[latent portal]

does anyone know why this doesnt work 😭

[frosty dock]

you need to assign a button to it and create a corresponding entry to G.FUNCS that opens an overlay menu

plenty examples of this in smods and the game itself

[orchid thunder]

is the " " the mod key

[frosty dock]

if you want to call it that, sure

[orchid thunder]

ok

[frosty dock]

though it's called a mod ID normally

[strong jacinth]

Are there examples in the example mod?

If not, where in smods.

[unkempt thicket]

why does this not work? (the .no_suit and .always_scores)

[frosty dock]

no

any button, really

take the mods button or the consumables button in the collection

[latent portal]

hey john do you know why this isnt doing anything

[frosty dock]

yes

it's a regex patch

and you're giving it the raw string

[latent portal]

what should i do instead

use '''this'''? orrrr

[frosty dock]

[patches.pattern]

you don't need a regex here

[latent portal]

oh okay

[frosty dock]

to make it work with regex, you would need to escape special characters

[tall wharf]

mr john how do i force the game to save properly

[opal spade]

those properties are checked via center, you're setting them on card without changing the card's center

[red flower]

hey aure how are you doing

[frosty dock]

e.g. \( \) instead of ( )

[latent portal]

holy shit it worked

thanks john

[opal spade]

there's multiple different functions for different things

[strong jacinth]

What is this for?

[frosty dock]

oh hey someone actually asked

that's so nice of you, I can't believe it

I'm doing great, ty

[red flower]

I'm glad to hear that

[tall wharf]

😭

are you doing exam soon

[latent portal]

im a fake ass bitch aure im sorry

[frosty dock]

it keeps track of the tab that was last selected so it can go back to there when you go to a different menu from inside of it

[strong jacinth]

Do i need it?

[frosty dock]

no

if your overlay menu has tabs and can be reached by going back, you can have it

but not having it just amounts to always being thrown into the first tab and not whatever you last had selected

[unkempt thicket]

So, this should work?

[strong jacinth]

What exactly do you mean, going back?

[frosty dock]

if there's a different menu that can be accessed from your menu

like from the additions tab in a mod menu

[red flower]

if you close an overlay menu it closes everything so you need logic to go back to the previous one

[frosty dock]

pressing back will send you back to the menu you came from

[strong jacinth]

Ohh, thankis

[onyx sonnet]

Why does this only ever set the edition to foil?

[strong jacinth]

So what exactly do i need?

[opal spade]

this would break the enhancement center
you're not supposed to change stuff about the center, you're supposed to use set_ability to assign the card a different center

[frosty dock]

I'll have my drivers test next week but nothing much else for rn

[tall wharf]

ohhhh

driving licence?

[opal spade]

either that or changing how calcing works for your effect to work

[tall wharf]

i've had mine for a bit

[zealous glen]

Good luck on the test

[frosty dock]

Also I saw this and I'm not ignoring it, I just don't know off the top of my head

[tall wharf]

it's ok

are you going for manual gearshift or

[zealous glen]

I got a driver’s license then never drove

[tall wharf]

just automatic

[zealous glen]

I got it in 2019… 💀

[tall wharf]

💀

[distant grove]

https://tenor.com/view/kita-ikuyo-kita-bocchi-the-rock-swing-ryo-yamada-gif-18354672937188470274

[tall wharf]

i believe i first got mine around 2.5 years ago

[zealous glen]

There was nowhere to go in 2020

[red flower]

im ryo

[distant grove]

uh oh

[zealous glen]

I think mine expired last year v_v

[tall wharf]

😔

i renewed mine a few months ago

[zealous glen]

But, like, it’s not valid where I am now

[frosty dock]

the test is on automatic but I'll be driving on manual gearshift after for now lmao

[zealous glen]

That’s why I didn’t renew it

[tall wharf]

i have never driven a manual

i mean does beamng even count

[strong jacinth]

Good luck 🤞

[tall wharf]

it shouldn't

[zealous glen]

I drove automatic for my training and the exam

[zealous glen]

What’s that

[tall wharf]

i drive automatic

[tall wharf]

car game

[latent portal]

okay so

[frosty dock]

I've had some lessons on manual which is why my license won't be restricted to automatic

[latent portal]

why doesn't THIS work

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/common_events.lua"
pattern = '''local stay_flipped = G.GAME and G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind:stay_flipped(to, card)'''
position = 'after'
match_indent = true
payload = '''
if G.GAME.modifiers.cherrysmod_allflipped and to == G.hand then
print "it should have worked but let's be real it probably didn't"
stay_flipped = true
end
'''

[zealous glen]

Wait you have restricted licenses?

[frosty dock]

no

[tall wharf]

my licence doesn't say that i have to drive automatic cars

but i drive automatic

[zealous glen]

I’ve never heard of such a thing

[tall wharf]

adult moment

[zealous glen]

License requiring specific gear type

[tall wharf]

i do not however have a motorcycle licence

[frosty dock]

we have such things here

[latent portal]

patches can implant code into any part of the file right

[zealous glen]

Wait but you said “no”

[frosty dock]

if I went fully automatic during training and test, I would only be allowed to drive automatic

[zealous glen]

Unless you meant it to someone else

[opal spade]

it's in game.lua around L2600 if you need specifically the run save

[frosty dock]

but I had some amount lessons on manual

[dim lynx]

is this an EU country thing?

[zealous glen]

Confused

[dim lynx]

or some weird state specific

[frosty dock]

oh

no I just misread that

I thought you were asking about my license being restricted

[distant grove]

anybody got the misprint code

i want to look at it real quick

[strong jacinth]

How would i create a tab in this.
-# Very proffesional UI code

[dim lynx]

you do. open balatro exe with winrar

[frosty dock]

not sure how other EU states do things tbh

[distant grove]

okay

[zealous glen]

I remember during my exam I had a moment of tension because the person driving in front of me let their car die which prompted me to stop to not crash into them. But you’re not supposed to let the car die or stop during the exam. Still got my license tho

[dim lynx]

what do you mean let their car die?

[frosty dock]

uh what, no stopping?

[zealous glen]

Not turning off the engine

[frosty dock]

you wouldn't have needed to turn the engine off though?

[zealous glen]

If you mishandle the stick it turns off

[dim lynx]

oh stalling

[zealous glen]

Yes

[dim lynx]

ive always called it stalling the car

[zealous glen]

Idk the anglophone jargon

[dim lynx]

yeah fair enough lol

[frosty dock]

me neither lmao

[dim lynx]

i failed my first driving test cause i failed the parallel park, perfect score elsewise but its an instant fail if no parallel park

[frosty dock]

we get retries for that I think

[dim lynx]

i retried the next day and got it. it was just cause i was borrowing a friends truck for exam and had never driven it before so i didnt know how big it was

[zealous glen]

An actual truck or just a pickup

[dim lynx]

pickup lol

[zealous glen]

Makes sense

There’s also something that’s a bit silly. For the first year of my license, any infraction is grounds for losing it. So the game theoretical optimal decision is to not drive for a year

[frosty dock]

[zealous glen]

Then people lose driving skill practice during that year

[latent portal]

WHAT THE FUCK

WHEN I RELOAD A SAVED CHALLENGE THE GAME JUST ACTS LIKE THERES NO CUSTOM RULES ? ??? ??

[dim lynx]

inside voices..

[zealous glen]

I know how dare lawmakers not know game theory

[frosty dock]

we have a 2 year probationary period

[dim lynx]

ours is a year, its called GDL license

ours meaning canada

[zealous glen]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-our-now-gif-21036569

Our license

[frosty dock]

lmao

[dim lynx]

it is more strict on losing it like yours victin, but also you cant let people with learners permit practice in your car

[onyx sonnet]

Why does this only ever set the edition to foil?

[frosty dock]

learners permit

[zealous glen]

I don’t know if either of those are a thing in my country

[strong jacinth]

Why doesnt this work

[dim lynx]

learners permit is you can drive, but only with fully licensed person in the car

[zealous glen]

You need to take a minimum number of hours in theoretical and practical classes

[dim lynx]

you have to have it for a year before you can get regular license

[zealous glen]

Then you take theoretical and practical exams

[dim lynx]

here no classroom time is required, you can just take test

[zealous glen]

Oh and there was something else too

[dim lynx]

the learners permit test that is, stated before that you need that for a year before you can take road test

[zealous glen]

A psychotechnical test IIRC

[zealous glen]

At least my country’s system took less time

[frosty dock]

yeah we have those too, you basically complete your license at 17 but don't get the real license until you're 18

[dim lynx]

well most people get the learners test when they are young, so doesnt affect them much as they cant afford car or anything anyways during that time

[zealous glen]

The theoretical classes were pretty useless. I just used the time to read the textbook

[dim lynx]

here if you complete driving school, ie the classroom stuff and things, your insurance will be significantly cheaper

so its worth doing

[frosty dock]

theory classes are mandatory here

though they're also not that useful for the theory test

you just have to know all of the questions lmao

[strong jacinth]

Nothing is being renderd, no crash

[zealous glen]

I mean acing the theoretical test just requires knowing the law*

It’s not that hard

*I lied—it requires understanding the poorly written, multiple choice questions

[frosty dock]

that's the spirit

[zealous glen]

Really why are poorly written tests so common

[dim lynx]

i dont know if its true but ive heard they are written poorly/confusing to catch people who are skimming the questions

[zealous glen]

My issue isn’t with the questions being tricky

They can be tricky but not poorly written

Like “A could mean B” even though realistically that’s not what they meant

[orchid thunder]

howq can i fix this crash

[dim lynx]

send the code

[orchid thunder]

also this if needed

local gradient = SMODS.Gradient{

    badge_colour = gradient,
    default_weight = 0,
    pools = {
        ["Joker"] = true,
    }
}

but yeah i have no idea why its crashing

it is in this if statement

if next(SMODS.find_mod('Beelatro')) then
end

[tall wharf]

how do i even save this

dawg

[zealous glen]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[tall wharf]

<@&1133519078540185692>

AH I AM SLOW AGAIN

[orchid thunder]

GET OUT

[unkempt thicket]

Am i using this correctly? G.hand.highlighted[i]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.always_scores, nil, true)

[zealous glen]

Would need to add a variable to card.ability like aiko_highlighted

Or maybe reuse Bell’s

[orchid thunder]

thanks mods : 3

[zealous glen]

Would need a small patch but I can give the patch to you

I do think this type of concept is very weak and pointless

[tall wharf]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[formal parrot]

Hello

[zealous glen]

@tall wharf anyways do you watch the Bell patch or are you implementing your own variable?

[tall wharf]

i already have like akyrs_forced_selection or something

the problem being it doesn't save the selection when i go back to main menu and come back

[zealous glen]

Hmmm how are you doing it?

[tall wharf]

i tried forcing save on card selection

[zealous glen]

Try using the Bell’s variable and see if that works

Or

Maybe the variable is saved

But you need to reselect the cards

Maybe Bell does it manually

[tall wharf]

bell does it every hand

which the game saves automatically

[zealous glen]

Usually it saves everything in card.ability

right?

[tall wharf]

yea

it should

[stuck seal]

Is this the correct code for winning a run?
G.STATE_COMPLETE = true

[zealous glen]

Does it not save or does it not load properly?

[tall wharf]

it does not save

[zealous glen]

No

[red flower]

no, that's just for changing between states

[tall wharf]

if i click faster than the game could save

it does save

check the video for reference

[stuck seal]

Then how do I win a run using code?

[red flower]

i mean if i didn't send it before is because i dont know lol, I only made a game losing effect

[zealous glen]

DebugPlus has a button for it

You can see what that does

[zealous glen]

Ah, then I feel like the issue would be optimizing how the game saves or delaying the user from leaving

Although they might be able to crash the game to leave anyways

[stuck seal]

Ah okay, but there G.STATE_COMPLETE is false, so I don't quite understand

[stuck seal]

No idea what that is

[zealous glen]

As they said, that variable is unrelated to what you want, at least directly

[red flower]

the other code set the state to the game over state and then it set state complete to false so it resolved the game over part

[stuck seal]

So what is?

[zealous glen]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664

[stuck seal]

Hmm but from what I see in the source code there is no winning state

[latent portal]

hey guys im back

im still trying to get this to work

[stuck seal]

Hmm the button there is described to only win the current blind, not what I'm after

[zealous glen]

I imagine that winning the game is related to winning the Blind

So see what happens when you win a Blind

[stuck seal]

You have a fair point

[stuck seal]

then it transitions to a shop state, just saw it in the code. But that's different sadly

[zealous glen]

Not always

When you win the game, it pops up a menu before you can proceed to the next shop

So there’s something there

[chrome widget]

Can you use both color and size control tags in a description? I attempted to use them here but it results in no size change and just the inactive color

"a hovered {C:attention}booster pack{}",
"{C:inactive, s:0.5}This Joker changes seed progression{}"```

[zealous glen]

No space

[unkempt thicket]

Am i using this correctly? G.hand.highlighted[i]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.always_scores, nil, true)

[stuck seal]

That's what I meant with transition. Maybe I need to specify the MENU state and give it a menu?

[zealous glen]

I don’t think so

Again the winning condition is already there

I imagine it’s connected to the Ante

[chrome widget]

!!! thank you

[zealous glen]

You’re welcome

[zealous glen]

Also I just had a Joker art idea: either

J I M B O
J O K E R
or
G O ! G O !
J O K E R !

[orchid thunder]

anything yet?

[zealous glen]

on Jimbo’s teeth

[stuck seal]

I found that this state after winning a blind is called G.STATES.ROUND_EVAL. Maybe in the last boss fight that state changes. Again, I'm currently going through source code

[latent portal]

OKAY SO

[chrome widget]

Ooo! That's a fun idea

[latent portal]

I DONT KNOW WHY

BUT IM PRETTY SURE THAT

draw_card

HANDLES DRAWING CARDS TO THE SCREEN

AND NOT DRAWING CARDS TO YOUR HAND

[zealous glen]

I imagine it’s the same state all the time, it just interrupts it to displays the win conditions

[tall wharf]

😭

[latent portal]

YOU CAN SEE WHY THIS CONFUSED ME.

[zealous glen]

Ah so you’ve found that out

I can’t even blame thunk

[stuck seal]

That would make sense

[zealous glen]

Blame the English language instead

[latent portal]

okay so

then wheres the bit of code that actually DRAWS cards??

[zealous glen]

There’s a few, but you can look into CardArea:draw_card_from

[latent portal]

Where's that?

[zealous glen]

There’s also another function that takes both source and destination IIRC

[zealous glen]

cardarea.lua

[zealous glen]

Actually it might be CardArea:draw_card_to

Either/or

@latent portal also which cards are you drawing

[red flower]

just got to my pc, this worked

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "cardarea.lua"
pattern = "local stay_flipped = G.GAME and G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind:stay_flipped(self, card)"
position = 'after'
match_indent = true
payload = '''
if self == G.hand then
    stay_flipped = true
end
'''

[stuck seal]

Okay so, what I am now gonna try, is basically: I'm gonna set the winning ante to the current one, (win_ante) and then just go to the ROUND_EVAL state. Update you in a lil

[latent portal]

just did this

thank u tho

i've been working with the wrong func the whole time 😭

[zealous glen]

[red flower]

[zealous glen]

not even

English language

It’s its fault not thunk’s for once

[red flower]

i hate English can we patch it out of the game

[turbid maple]

your wish is granted the balatro source code is now entirely in chinese

[zealous glen]

https://tenor.com/view/torre-de-babel-silvio-de-abreu-90s-gif-17966036

[red flower]

torre de babel indeed

[latent portal]

yknow what

[zealous glen]

I just didn’t expect it to be Chinese that’s all

[latent portal]

it wasnt worth it

[red flower]

lmao

[latent portal]

this challenge fucking sucks 😭

[zealous glen]

The sequel to la Casa de Papel

[tall wharf]

what challenge?

[zealous glen]

I think face-down cards are interesting in limited quantities

[red flower]

they work well with the cards im making

nil

[zealous glen]

They’re all named Joker

Can only have 3 v_v

[red flower]

it works like the old gameboy games where you can have 99

[zealous glen]

Now where’s the Balatro archetype

[turbid maple]

weege board deck that spells jimbo

[latent portal]

all cards face down

[frosty dock]

https://tenor.com/view/luigi-dance-gif-5719146

[latent portal]

it fucking sucks

[frosty dock]

weegee

[red flower]

if u get all the jimbo letters he comes out of the screen and becomes ur friend

[frosty dock]

K O N G

[unkempt thicket]

Am i using this correctly? G.hand.highlighted[i]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.always_scores, nil, true)

[frosty dock]

there is no always_scores center

[forest ivy]

gng, how can i do something when round ends, decrease extra variable by 3, add money and destroy the joker?

[zealous glen]

@tall wharf’s Maxwell’s Notebook

[frosty dock]

if you've made one, it needs prefixes

[forest ivy]

not asking for direct answer but at least for smods link where it's explained

[frosty dock]

if you haven't, set some other flag and hook SMODS.always_scores or use splash context

[zealous glen]

Probably in an end of round context or the function that computes end of round money

[long sun]

(bump)

[unkempt thicket]

How can I hook SMODS.always_scores to function properly without the use of enhancements?

[forest ivy]

i mean the event's or smth

basically how do i add player money, destroy joker that player has, decrease variable and do something when round ends

as 4 diff things

[frosty dock]

set a flag in the card's ability

[tall wharf]

shaders are a fuck

[frosty dock]

like _card.ability.my_always_scores = true

of course you can make an enhancement that always scores

like I said then you just need to add prefixes

[latent portal]

either way CHALLENGE DONE YAY!!

[tall wharf]

accidentally laucnhed jackbox instead of balala

[maiden phoenix]

balatro jackbox gaming

[hard flume]

how is this jack?

oh wait let me size it up real quick

[turbid maple]

new balatro multiplayer mode unlocked

[tall wharf]

did you add gender to balatro???

[hard flume]

yes, gender suits

[tall wharf]

😭

[distant grove]

im trying to get the misprint code

uhhh

[hard flume]

listen. i couldnt think of better suit ideas.

[tall wharf]

😭

[green plank]

this is an insane joker but it is an inside joke in this community

alright people 10 am santas coming!

I KNOW HIM

[distant grove]

god i loved elf

[tall wharf]

BLUETOOTH

[distant grove]

huh

[gaunt wolf]

The one on the shelf? I hated that one! /j

[distant grove]

lol

anybody got the misprint code?

i cant seem to find it

[green plank]

[distant grove]

i dont tink your supposed to have ==

but idk

[green plank]

it's an additive joker

[distant grove]

ok

[green plank]

sort of like runner or wee joker

[distant grove]

oh so its adding to itself?

[stray warren]

Why are you using 'self' instead of 'card'

[green plank]

idk what i'm doing

literally first time modding

[stray warren]

Replace self with card

[distant grove]

do you know how to do a random number for mult?

[stray warren]

Keep the self parameter, just change the usages to card

[distant grove]

cause i cant find the misprint code

[distant grove]

alr thanks man

[green plank]

it's supposed to be at ^30

not at ^10

[forest ivy]

how do i add money to the player ?

[distant grove]

like gold joker?

[forest ivy]

basically yes

[distant grove]

ok

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

you can find the gold joker code there

[forest ivy]

so this isn't even written in documentation

💔

[distant grove]

it sorta is?

actually yea idk

[stray warren]

Can I see your whole file

nvm, I see your issue

in your return block you are returning '10', not 'card.ability.extra.e_mult_mod' for 'Emult_mod'

[glad osprey]

could someone like make a mod that just makes judgement a different colour than the other tarots

[chrome widget]

If I wanted to grab every booster pack in the game (included modded ones), do I just iterate through G.P_CENTERS and grab keys based on the prefix?

[frosty dock]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Booster

[chrome widget]

oh nope, found it

Yeah, sorry, slow on the draw there

The collection uses the pool

[forest ivy]

another question, how do i destroy a joker ?

[green plank]

yea idk what i'm doing

[red flower]

nicer way is card:start_dissolve() but it depends on what you want to do

[forest ivy]

basically got a joker that gives player $12 at the end of the round

and it decreases by 3 every time

he ends the shop

[sacred lily]

how do i make it that you get extra money every time a card is sold

(when a specific joker is in hand)

[turbid maple]

theres a context for selling cards

[forest ivy]

and i want it to disappear when money gain equals 0

[sacred lily]

what's that context?

[simple mural]

How can i add an effect for the joker when its scored

[sacred lily]

i'll see if i can figure the rest out myself this time

[stray warren]

okay now send your whole file lol

[turbid maple]

try searching for campfire

in cards.lua

[sacred lily]

alright will do

[red flower]

context.selling_card

[weak gate]

What's a good mod with a custom card area I could go learn from?

[stray warren]

Yeah, it needs to be e_mult in the return block, not e_mult_mod. that's my bad

[red flower]

joyousspring 🙂

[forest ivy]

if context.selling_card

kinda late

[sacred lily]

thamnks

[turbid maple]

as for earning money its ease_dollars(amount) unless someone comes along and tells me this is obsolete theres a smod functionalith for it

[simple mural]

Im about visual effect

[red flower]

yes you can return dollars = amount

[turbid maple]

what the hell!!!

[sacred lily]

yknow it'd be really funny if this was the one time there wassn't

..god damnit

[turbid maple]

fair I guess ease_dollars is a strange name for a function that gives you money

[sacred lily]

well it helps you get dollars with ease so idk

[stray warren]

Also, you need to increment e_mult instead of e_mult_mod

[forest ivy]

yee ````give_me_money()``` would work better 🔥

[turbid maple]

get_that_bread()

[forest ivy]

pleasemoney()

[hard flume]

Hihi :)

[forest ivy]

how do u do that

in 1 line

🤔

[green plank]

still the same

[stray warren]

Do you ever see the Joker actually upgarde?

[green plank]

that's what i'm trying to do

and no

[simple mural]

Please answer me. I cant found something like thin on the wiki

[stray warren]

I mean like the upgrade message, does that ever show up

[green plank]

it doesn't show underneath the joker but on the cards played

[simple mural]

How can i add animation for the joker whent its scores

[red flower]

what kind of animation

[stray warren]

I can copy the code real quick and try to work through it

If you would be so kind as to copy and paste the code rather than send an image

[green plank]

    key = 'gptm',
    loc_txt = {
      name = 'Gay People',
      text = {
        "{X:black,C:dark_edition,s:1.25}+^#2#{} Mult",
        "per {C:attention}10{} played",
        "{C:inactive}(Currently {C:dark_edition}^#2#{C:inactive} Mult)",
        spriter('jesterjamz')
      }
    },
    config = {extra = {e_mult = 0, e_mult_mod = 10} },
    rarity = "cry_epic",
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = false,
    atlas = 'gaypeople',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    cost = 10,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return {vars = {center.ability.extra.e_mult, center.ability.extra.e_mult_mod}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if context.other_card:get_id() == 10 then
                card.ability.extra.e_mult = card.ability.extra.e_mult + card.ability.extra.e_mult_mod
                return {
                    Emult_mod = card.ability.extra.e_mult,
                    card = context.other_card,
                    message = '+^' .. card.ability.extra.e_mult .. ' Mult'
                }, true
                end
            end
        end
}```

there

[simple mural]

For example, like the Joker Stencil

[green plank]

oh it is actually working

but the number doesn't update on the joker

[red flower]

like when it scores?

[simple mural]

yea

[red flower]

the mult underneath?

that should be automatically added

[stiff locust]

how do I check what type of card a card is

[red flower]

card.ability.set

[stray warren]

That's cause you sent the e_mult_mod as the second loc_vars parameter, when it should be e_mult

[green plank]

so it's #1# instead of #2#

[stray warren]

In your case, yes

[tall apex]

does anyone know if i can make an edition destroy different jokers/playing cards? c:

[green plank]

i'm asking the people who came up with the idea to clarify if the exponentiation applies to only if 10's are played or even with no 10's played

it's half and half

[red flower]

you should get one more ideas person to break the tie

[green plank]

that is what they said

[red flower]

jesterjamz sounds more sure

[sullen fern]

now how do i make custom suits

[hushed field]

you hire a tailor

[stray warren]

SMODS.Suit

[simple mural]

Why is it not counted even though the number changes?

[stray warren]

Wdym? I'm confused on why you have that string in your message block

Also you are comparing card.ability.extra.now to a string of an integer, when it is being assigned an integer in the context check below

[simple mural]

I can't replace string with number?

[stray warren]

Doing that will print that string literally

Unless things have changed in Steamodded recently and I do not know about that

[green plank]

ok it does work but i didn't update the initial amount of exponentional mult

because it's supposed to start at ^10

[stray warren]

What exactly is the issue you are encountering, and what is the expected result?

Because the comment you left was a little ambiguous

[tall apex]

omg dev from hit mod paperback

[tall wharf]

let's go

[rapid stag]

still struggling with trying to work this out in case anyone knows anything

[tall apex]

i like paperback c:

[simple mural]

It is expected that a random number (maph.random) will be calculated as a multiplier for chips, only a change in the number is observed

[tall wharf]

😭

is this Schrödinger's

[simple mural]

And it will change after each hand played.

[stray warren]

So you want the number to be randomly generated after every hand played, correct?

[simple mural]

Yea, between 2 selected numbers

[stray warren]

Then you should be in context.after, not context.final_scoring_step

and probably remove the or context.ability.extra.now == "1" since it's comparing a number to a string. It will always be false

[simple mural]

And I also have two other questions

[stray warren]

Feel free to ask anything, that's what this channel is for

[simple mural]

How to find out the first start of the game, and how to save the value after restarting?

[stray warren]

If it is in the ability table (in config in the declaration) the game will save the value automatically

And what do you mean find out the first start of the game? Like what the value is when the run is first started?

[simple mural]

I want to get a random value also when I first start the run

[simple mural]

Yea

[stray warren]

So that when you first pick up the Joker from the shop (or other means) it's a random value?

[orchid thunder]

why is this error

[simple mural]

Yea

[stray warren]

I believe you can do that in the set_ability function in the declaration

[simple mural]

Where do i need to use it?

[stray warren]

Add it to the declaration. You know how loc_vars and calculate are defined. Add it in there, and then add the random number generator code from above into that function's body

I can try to find an example for you

[simple mural]

Yea, please

[stray warren]

In this one, I defined set_ability and did some assignments inside it

That will show up on the Joker's initial spawning in

Does that make sense?

[stray warren]

Are you sure rarities start with a k in their key?

[orchid thunder]

ye

[stray warren]

Yeah I'm not sure, cause that's how Cryptid does its rarities

[turbid maple]

The struggle of needing to implement a new piece of UI and struggling to find where it can fucking fit

[simple mural]

I added "set_ability", it works but it also doesn't multiply in the run

why

[stray warren]

It doesn't do the xChips?

[simple mural]

Yea

But i see a value in the joker description

[sacred lily]

is there a way to make it so you lose the game from a joker

[chrome widget]

What is the lightest identifying information for an instanced center? Its node id?

[stray warren]

Try replacing the math.random call with pseudorandom('xChips', card.ability.extra.min, card.ability.extra.max). But also, you need to be using context.joker_main, not context.main_joker

[exotic island]

crazy joker is looking... crazy...

[chrome widget]

I guess the better question, is it reasonable to use an entire card table as the key in a map?

[simple mural]

Maybe problem was in the "context.main_joker"

[stray warren]

Yeah, it was

[latent portal]

hey guys hows this deck art look

[turbid maple]

evil mr. bones be like:

[latent portal]

oh what

[turbid maple]

source: https://github.com/Mysthaps/LobotomyCorp/blob/main/indiv_jokers/punishing_bird.lua

[latent portal]

why does it look like that what

hold on

[sacred lily]

ok

[red flower]

this is easier

but yeah that probably saves data better

[latent portal]

there we go

how does it look?

[simple mural]

This is finally works!

[sacred lily]

how would i work this into my card?

it does "x5 mult, 1 in 50 chance per played card that you lose the game"

[turbid maple]

refer to the link I sent you, it just does this in the calculate fucntion

[sacred lily]

ok

[tough hearth]

What's the difference between mult = and mult_mod =? (Noob here)

[latent portal]

hey quick question

is it possible to add new decks

[tough hearth]

yes

[latent portal]

does it say that anywhere in the docs

[tall wharf]

this screams debug

[tough hearth]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/DeckOf4s.lua something like this ig

[latent portal]

no !!!!

[simple mural]

thx so much

[tall wharf]

literally programmer's art

[spring lantern]

does most_played_poker_hand just never get used

whats going on

why did it default to high card

and why did the ui break :(

[tall wharf]

:(

i would look in the Ox

[spring lantern]

it does use the same variable i'm using

so that's not the issue

[tall wharf]

:(

[red flower]

i think it only updates when you beat a boss

[spring lantern]

the fuck

😭

am i gonna have to patch this shit

[red flower]

why, just calculate it yourself

[spring lantern]

guhh

where can i find how many times a hands been played again

[red flower]

this is the code that updates it

[quartz ravine]

Hey, @red flower

I was playing Yugioh with my son earlier today and he was shook when I used Monster Reborn to summon his Eldlich into my hand to use him. I thought you might appreciate that

[red flower]

into your hand?

[quartz ravine]

Well onto my field! Eldlich is very cool, it was a blast to use him with my manadium cards

[red flower]

oh yeah monster reborn is cool, it's sad that it's not played that much anymore

[spring lantern]

sweet now it targets the right hand, but the ui still breaks sadly

[latent portal]

its not though

[tall wharf]

is it real deal

[latent portal]

its really real super real supreme

[red flower]

how does it break

[spring lantern]

see the video

it doesn't show the hand name or the level, and the chips/mult stay there

[red flower]

oh i never used that

i would complain to the smods people :))

[spring lantern]

shiet

hold on let me test again just to make sure it's not just some weirdness from continuing a run

[red flower]

that code seems correct so I can't see how that would happen on your end

other than something like what you just said

[spring lantern]

okay yeah it does the same thing

gahh time to open up an issue i guess?

[forest ivy]

how do i make the text yellow?

like for the money

[red flower]

{C:money}

[forest ivy]

peak, ty

[quartz ravine]

Oh man, this is a fun joker!!

[forest ivy]

pawlatro

[tall apex]

omg cuuuuuuuuute c:

[latent portal]

hey whats the command to change a cards suit again

[red flower]

SMODS.change_base

[latent portal]

does that work for suits?

i thought it was only ranks

[red flower]

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

[hard flume]

Hihi chat! I'm almost done with my custom suit!!!

[tall apex]

oh nice! c:

rn im working on a joker that forces the music to change

thats it nothing else LMAO

[hard flume]

I'm working on a collection mod that adds a bunch of random ideas

[sullen fern]

what?

[latent portal]

is it possible to add an info_queue to a deck

because i tried to and it crashed

[sullen fern]

i HAVE a localization lua

why does it still show error

[timid oyster]

I'm trying to add a modicon but it's not showing up. Do I need anything more than this in the file?

This is literally that entire file so I'm wondering if I need anything else

[tall wharf]

literally Aikoyori's Shenanigans
nice

[sullen fern]

am i doing anything wrong?

[forest ivy]

is it possible to do something at the start of the shop?

not at the end

[tall wharf]

i think they just added like context for start of shop

[plush cove]

context.starting_shop

in newer versions of SMODS

two of my own Jokers use it :3

[latent portal]

hey guys

[forest ivy]

and they didnt add it to docs yet

peak

ty

[latent portal]

im trying to make a bit of text display a tooltip when i hover over it

im doing it right and nothings happening

[plush cove]

show your code

[forest ivy]

is there a {C} color like this ?

[plush cove]

{C:attention}

[forest ivy]

ty

[latent portal]

loc_txt = {
        name = "DIY Deck",
        text = {
            "Start with a deck",
            "full of {C:attention,T:cherrysmod_doodle_info}Doodle Cards{}"
        }
    },```

[forest ivy]

why dont they just call them yellow , green, orange💔

[simple mural]

But i have one problem... The value changes faster than the calculation goes, although it calculates correctly

[sullen fern]

they still show error and i'm having a hard time figuring out why

[simple mural]

And also changing the value has no visual effect

[plush cove]

what does your cherrysmod_doodle_info look like in your localization?

[latent portal]

descriptions = {
        Other = {
            cherrysmod_doodle_info = {
                name = 'Doodle Card',
                text = {
                    'Grants {C:chips}double chips{}',
                    'Has no suit',
                },```

[plush cove]

is Doodle an enhancement or an edition?

can you have Lucky Doodle Cards or Polychrome Doodle Cards or Lucky Polychrome Doodle Cards?

[forest ivy]

peak

took me so long to remake one random simple joker

from reddit

[plush cove]

@latent portal

[sullen fern]

can anyone help me with figuring out what's wrong with my localization file

[latent portal]

Doodle is a suit

It's a big old bodge

[simple mural]

Where are the other two "}"?

[latent portal]

other two what

oh

theyre offscreen

[sullen fern]

so i may figure out why all of my card suits are showing ERROR

[plush cove]

so you could hypothetically have a Lucky Doodle Card or a Stone Doodle Card?

[latent portal]

Yes

You can have a Lucky Polychrome Red Seal Doodle card

[sullen fern]

so many errors, and yet i don't know how to deal with them...

[latent portal]

The weirdest thing is, the tooltip works fine with the Doodle Cards themselves

But not for the deck

[sullen fern]

sorry if im being annoying about this

it's just that i'm really confused

the prefix IS correct

which is "puyo"

see

[hard flume]

they're in the game!!!

[simple mural]

What is it?

[sullen fern]

females

[hard flume]

yes. i added a women suit to the game

[simple mural]

This is a new suit?

[hard flume]

yes

[tall wharf]

😭

[turbid maple]

show us the mtf king

[exotic island]

BEHOLD my masterpiece

[hard flume]

Listen. It was funny to me when I came up with it and I had to commit to the bit

[exotic island]

crazy joker

[turbid maple]

no way

[hard flume]

here's all of the suit

[quartz ravine]

Weird all of my cuustom jokers appear in the shop even if I already have them in my jokers and don't have showman

[tall wharf]

sliced edition

[quartz ravine]

What if it triggered three times and applied 0.95 xmult?

[tall wharf]

i think it should just trigger twice

no halving value

[tall apex]

does anyone know how to make a joker call for different music when it spawns? im struggling so hard w/ this

[exotic island]

noone cares about the retextures that take me hours to make 😭

[tall apex]

[quartz ravine]

I love it triggering many times, but halving the result. So funny

[quartz ravine]

I'll bet @earnest oracle knows how to do it!

[cerulean rose]

look at jimball

[unkempt thicket]

What determines how long something a tag gives lasts? like how the juggle one gives +3 hand size for a round, what makes it only one round how can I increase that amount?

[tall apex]

oh word

[simple mural]

I have an idea for the joker
It will gain xmult equal to the current round, but if you don't win the round with this joker for one hand, the game is considered lost

all or nothing joker

[plush cove]

ok, I'm trying out your descriptions in my own codebase, and it's still not working

so that's extremely weird

[tall apex]

heck i cant find where jimball calls for the myoosic . 3.

[simple mural]

A challenge with this eternal joker from the start would also be interesting

[tall wharf]

uh

[tall wharf]

meet gaalighting

[latent portal]

I FIGURED IT OUT

For SOME reason

[plush cove]

w!!!

[latent portal]

The mouse-over text can't reference entries labeled "Other"

[maiden phoenix]

That's such a silly joker effect

[exotic island]

look at my boy, hes beautiful

[hard flume]

Now... Do I work on my new ranks or do I add Jokers for the suit first?

[tall apex]

jimball has the exact effect im looking for but i cant find anything to do with music in the misc joker lua-

[plush cove]

SMODS.Sound({
    key = "music_jimball",
    path = "music_jimball.ogg",
    sync = false,
    pitch = 1,
    select_music_track = function()
        return next(find_joker("cry-Jimball"))
            and Cryptid_config.Cryptid
            and Cryptid_config.Cryptid.jimball_music
            -- Lowering priority for edition Jimballs later
            and 7
    end,
})```

the music isn't handled by the Joker itself

[tall apex]

AH.

i am a foolish fool

[simple mural]

Joker gains x0.5 mult per card in the deck but destroys a random card after each hand played

[tall apex]

wait what is the cryptid config stuff? my mod isn't cryptid . 3.

[plush cove]

ignore that, that's for the copyrighted music settings that Cryptid adds

[latent portal]

WHY ISNT THIS STUPID TOOLTIP WORKING

UGGHGHHHHG

[tall apex]

OHHHHHH gotcha

sorry im new to lua, i appreciate the help <3

[hidden timber]

daily reminder for everyone who wants their mod on the Balatro Mod Manager: https://github.com/skyline69/balatro-mod-index

btw now with mod updating support!! https://github.com/skyline69/balatro-mod-manager/releases/tag/v0.1.9 🎉🎉🎉

[tall apex]

woagh

[tall apex]

i wanna inspect this a little closer, which .lua is this in?

[quartz ravine]

Man you can spend a lot of time working on shaders. I am trying to make a sparkling effect like on Yugioh Secret / Ultra Rare cards and boy oh boy is it not easy

[latent portal]

hey foxdeploy

you sound smart can i ask u for help with something

[tall apex]

real, thats a beast im not ready to tackle yet X3

[simple mural]

It's so interesting to write a mod for my things and play with them

[quartz ravine]

sure, ask away

[simple mural]

This is funny

[latent portal]

ok so

im trying to get a tooltip to appear when i hover over text

but it REFUSES TO WORK

[latent portal]

this is the important bit

[latent portal]

and this is what it looks like in the default.lua loc file (+2 of these ---> })

[unkempt thicket]

What determines how long something a tag gives lasts? like how the juggle one gives +3 hand size for a round, what makes it only one round how can I increase that amount?

[quartz ravine]

Take a look at @tall wharf 's mod, they got this working very well.

I haven't tried it myself

[forest ivy]

somebody gotta tell this joker he will be the only reason the score will catch fire

[tall apex]

ugh, it's still not calling the music

why sounnds hard

I GOT IT

this is the stupidest fucking joker and it's caused me so much trouble oml

[safe cobalt]

new joker created

[tall apex]

who wants it

[safe cobalt]

it costs 19 in the shop

[modern kindle]

that would make sense considering it is called the 19 dollar fortnite card

it is not called the anything but 19 dollar

[safe cobalt]

fr

[plush cove]

when you sell it, you should gain $0 because yes, you're giving it away

[tall apex]

but it should emphisize in it's text, trolls, DON'T get blocked

[safe cobalt]

true true

[quartz ravine]

I bet it's because of how keys and prefixes work!

that borked me for like three hours till I finally asked Mr. Steammodded how it works

[tall apex]

it wasn't asking for a key i had to declare the name of the joker even though i already had in the localization file.,.

[quartz ravine]

ugh, that sucks!

[tall apex]

let me show you my perfectly balanced and functional joker

[distant grove]

19 dolla fortnite card

wow!

[tall apex]

best joker.

[quartz ravine]

lol!

[distant grove]

big iron

[tall apex]

this is all it does.

[distant grove]

true

[tall apex]

and it's legendary

so you can waste soul on it LMAO

[distant grove]

fr!

[tall apex]

that's it's entire purpose to absolutely screw you out of a legendary

[stray wing]

I have a sound I am adding to one of my jokers, and I think it is either being pitched up or played faster - is there a way to check / prevent this?

[tall apex]

set it's pitch to 1 and turn off sync if it's a music track

but other than that idk

[stray wing]

oh wait it might be because sound effects increase in pitch when your score goes up (?)

Like, in scoring as the flames come out the sound effects pitch up

[tall apex]

ohh they do do that

[stray wing]

Anyone know if there's a way to avoid that / disable it for a specific sound effect?

[tall apex]

that i do not know sorry friend

[stray wing]

thanks anyway

I'm at the 90% mark of coding this mod, we will figure it out somehow

[faint yacht]

return { pitch = 1 }

[stray wing]

I will give this a go

[stray wing]

That worked, thank you very much 🫡

[stray wing]

you were correct 🙂

[tall apex]

yibeeeeeeeeee

i was wrong that it only applies to music tracks tho

[stray wing]

Well if I had tried it when you had said it, it would have worked so I'd call that a win

[forest ivy]

gng, can somebody slide me a classic joker sprite ?

[simple mural]

How can i get a hands?

And how can i instantly end the run?

[unkempt thicket]

How can i make a tag that gives something for longer than a round, like hand size, hands, discards, slots? (then remove after said time)

[dusky island]

how I mod this game?

I want to make joker cards :(

[turbid maple]

I wanted to add custom localization fields to a joker is patching init_localization and all that a dumb idea

[red flower]

as in more boxes in the description?

[turbid maple]

yeah

not like, append to info_queue in a way but fit more boxes in the joker UI

[red flower]

yeah you can use init_localization to add those to the localization file and the generate_ui function on the joker to actually add the boxes

i do both of those https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/main/src/card_ui.lua

well not the extra boxes bit but something similar

[turbid maple]

aight 👍

doing this does look like something that could easily part of SMODS I wonder if a PR for this would be nice

[exotic island]

lads i did the funny https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1348461931631087647

[turbid maple]

.. why the hell can name be a table?

[sleek siren]

How would I be able to replace a function with lovely?

[turbid maple]

you want to completely replace it?

[sleek siren]

Yes ^^

[turbid maple]

if you're gonna completely rewrite it it'd be simpler to just redefine it in your lua code

[sleek siren]

Oh? How so?

[turbid maple]

you can just... write your version of the function with the same name

then the game just calls your version instead

it's fucked

[sleek siren]

Oh! Ok ^^ Thank you!

also, completely replacing a function is a big no-no for mod compatibility

Balatro Modding Starter Pack, the copypasta :3

If you are new to modding, make sure that you understand the basics of LUA first before proceeding. There are a lot of good tutorials out there, so I won't link one here :)

For beginners, here are some links you should check out in order to familiarize yourself with what you are getting into:

1. https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod
   ◦ This should give you some instructions, and it also serves as Steamodded's Documentation. Please read it :)
2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp-4U5TlbxY&t=7s
   ◦ A Modding Tutorial video. It is a bit outdated, 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 bad practice, they are cards.)
3. https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/EditionExamples/EditionExamples.lua
   ◦ It's good practice to check out the example mods, as well as other mods too for reference.

Once again, remember to read the Documentation. There also other links which you might find useful, such as:

1. https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector?tab=readme-ov-file#patches
   ◦ Patches.
2. https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664
   ◦ DebugPlus, a very useful mod for modding.
3. https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129557-tutorial-function-hooking-and-you/
   ◦ Hooks.

Thank you! ^^

[tepid crow]

I love the counter lmfao

[manic rune]

also, if i want to make it so that after a hand is played, a card in hand is destroyed, what would i need to do?

initially thought that context.destroying_card will work too, but it seems it doesn't

[manic rune]

its impressive how fast it increases lol

[wintry solar]

context.destroy_card is the actual context, destroying_card is just a unique flag for scored cards

[manic rune]

o

[unkempt thicket]

How can i make a tag give something for an ante instead of a round like hand size?

[turbid maple]

If this works for you you can "hook" the function. Here's an example:

local _some_balatro_function = some_balatro_function
function some_balatro_function(args)
  local ret = _some_balatro_function(args)
  if args.yourmod_flag then
    ret.rig_wheel_of_fortune = true
  end
  return ret
end

oh init_localiztion refuses to parse the center if text isn't present

aight fine

[dusky island]

thank you.

[weak gate]

is there a way to force a boss blind using DebugPlus? I need to test a Joker in Amber Acorn

[turbid maple]

I just reroll until I get it

[weak gate]

well, impractical to play, or skip/use Win Blind 23 times...

[turbid maple]

+1 Ante

[weak gate]

aha yes

[turbid maple]

Skip to Ante 8 Boss Reroll til Acorn Save State

👍

[weak gate]

and then eval G.FUNCS.reroll_boss() neat

[tepid crow]

Have you tried just... pressing 3 on the boss blind in the collection

[main mica]

WHAAAAT omg

secret feature :0

[tepid crow]

I mean... if the question is "how do I spawn X in" the answer is usually "press 3 on it in the collection screen"

[weak gate]

wouldn't cross my mind

[tepid crow]

now you know 🙃

[latent portal]

question!

is there a variable that stores your highest hand score (same run)?

[manic rune]

you would probably need a hook for that

-# or maybe even a patch, depends

[tepid crow]

doesn't the continue run screen display your highest hand score?

[gilded narwhal]

hey gang is there a context for changing antes

[tepid crow]

has to be saved somewhere then

[manic rune]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah

[gilded narwhal]

or would i have to do like if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss

[latent portal]

because i had this idea for a joker

Dumbbell
Gain $5 when you beat your highest hand score this run
(Score to beat: X chips)

[tepid crow]

I doubt there is one for ante changing specifically, but this one should probably work?

[manic rune]

it works, my mod has some jokers which use this

hmm

[topaz monolith]

Can the repetition thing in the return part affect the joker itself? Like I want it to get a 1/3 chance to retrigger itself, which grants Xmult. If so, how would it look like?

[turbid maple]

what the fuck do you want from me

[tall apex]

hey do you guys know the text color for blue

is it like c:chips or something

[forest ivy]

u forgot to add 1

really

important

thing

'dont be afraid of asking questions'

[manic rune]

oh right

i will add that, thank

[forest ivy]

on fucking god id never make anything if i wasnt asking random easy questions here

[topaz monolith]

If its chip colours you are looking for: {C:chips}
If just blue: {C:blue}

[manic rune]

dude, same.

[tall apex]

thanks a bunch c:

[forest ivy]

there was blue all the time ??

[tall apex]

my guess was right c:

[topaz monolith]

Looking in the source files for balatro and the color location, yeah, there is actually a bunch. globals.lua

[mellow marsh]

where should i report a smods bug? the highlighted lines crash if i am setting the edition of a negative card when it hasn't been added to an area and G.hand is nil (which i'm realizing as i type this that that is an incredibly niche situation which i can resolve myself, i was accidentally setting my card to be inherently negative in 2 places so it crashed when viewed in the collection)

[chrome widget]

We predicting some card packs

[tall apex]

oh awesome ill take a gander!

[tall apex]

one more question, how specifically do you get card values to description? I did it before but don't really understand it

[tall apex]

wait thats so cool

[chrome widget]

In the object's loc_vars function, you return a table for the UI display, containing another table vars = {[value]}

The description reads the values inside the vars table by index when you use a tag like #1#, #2#, etc

[merry raven]

Holy shit that's so cool

I need to learn how to make UI boxes that display cards like that, I got an Edition that works like a pocket discard pile so I need to learn how to do that

[tall apex]

ohhhhhh i see, tysm!!

[chrome widget]

So at the bottom of loc_vars

return { vars = { 'test'} }

And then if your description is simply the string "#1#", it'll display the word 'test'

Because it's accessing and printing out the first value in the vars table to replace that 1 tag

[tall apex]

ohhhhhhh

[mellow marsh]

hmm, is there a way to get an addition to not be added to the collection? (specifically stickers if that matters)

i added something similar to the stake win stickers for my mod and don't want them showing up as if they were gameplay stickers

[chrome widget]

I believe I saw something in the docs to specifically hide something from the collection, lemme check

[tall apex]

wait is this wrong?

[merry raven]

It's card and not center isn't it? Or is it interchangeable?

[mellow marsh]

tis just a variable name so it wouldnt affect whether it works or not

typically it's called card though yeah

[chrome widget]

Okay yeah just set no_collection = true in the object definition

[mellow marsh]

ah convenient thank you

[chrome widget]

Sorry, replying to you, not myself

[latent portal]

hey guys

quick little ask

[pulsar flower]

that is very cool

[chrome widget]

This should work, yes

[tall apex]

is not.. :c

[latent portal]

is there a command to force a joker to display a message?

[tall wharf]

that's pretty nice yeah

[chrome widget]

Do you have a crash log?

[mellow marsh]

how's the text set up? might be a problem with that

[tall apex]

is that not it?

[sturdy compass]

You can do it through `SMODS.calculate_effect()' and pass in a message value

[latent portal]

could you show me an example?

[manic rune]

isnt it self, card, info_queue

[latent portal]

i understand better if its visualized

[manic rune]

or i might be wrong

let me check

nevermind, its self, info_queue, card

hm

[chrome widget]

I usually have it set up like this so I think info_queue comes first yeah

    info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {key = "artist_poul", set = "Other"}
    return { vars = {G.GAME.probabilities.normal, card.ability.extra.enhance_chance} }
end```

But yeah, what kind of error are you seeing kawaii?

A crash? Is it showing nil values?

[sturdy compass]

Certainly!

[tall apex]

nil value

[manic rune]

definitely replace "center" with "card" though

they are not the same

[latent portal]

i see now! thank you!

[sturdy compass]

np np

[tall apex]

do you just wanna see the entire code? its not a very complicated joker

[chrome widget]

Sure

[turbid maple]

had the pleasure of digging itno generate_card_ui

I am still clueless on how any of this works i hate UI

[gilded narwhal]

hey gang how do i change the amount that rerolls implement by?

[tall apex]

its prob super obvious im just stoopy

[mellow marsh]

ohhh

[tall apex]

it's supposed to give 5 chips whenever any other joker triggers c:

[mellow marsh]

ok sneaky issue, you've ended the config table at the wrong spot

the only thing it should contain is your extra table

[manic rune]

oh yeah

[tall apex]

guh?

[chrome widget]

the config table currently contains your entire code

[manic rune]

config is missing a }

[chrome widget]

add another brace before the comma

[mellow marsh]

in other words, this needs to be moved up here

[tall apex]

AH

ty wise gamer of gaming

[chrome widget]

So the reason why it's not working is because it's looking for loc_vars where it expects it to be, but it wasn't currently where it's expected, so it just subs nil values

[tall apex]

icicicicicic c:

[mellow marsh]

feels nice to be able to help with stuff instead of needing help myself

[tall apex]

hey it's a community, give and take is what it's all about, just pass it on! nwn

kinda what i love about this sorta stuff

big soup of knowledge

[chrome widget]

I've done custom UI for exactly two things and both times it's kinda wehh, I steal what code I can because I'm not a UI programmer

This one for example basically does something very similar to Jimbo's win/loss quotes

[tall apex]

that joker just like me fr

[chrome widget]

Hell yeah tgirl hours
