Like I made a joker a while ago that basically does the exact same thing as boredom from cryptd

just remade the art to make it comepletely different

and yeah boom thats pretty good

it DOES look good.

And I can tell that you still put your own personal twist on it, though, I personally think you should go for it as long as the joker does not do exactly the same thing, and if it does, maybe just say that you got the idea from Crypton?

Cryptdi

idk man art is a scary thing

[lethal ridge]

Hmm okay

Ill credit to cryptid for the art reference

But ill make the ability different

[turbid maple]

I'm really not sure how your mod is referencing cryptid but if it's like, a weaker version of the circular pie in latin you could keep the aesthetics and the design but have it be like a slice of pie

[lethal ridge]

Genius

Okay ill make a slice of pie instead

🔥

[turbid maple]

i think that'd be neater if you're going for the reference angle than completely copying the sprite

[unkempt kestrel]

how can i change the enhancement of a card? like theres card:set_seal and card:set_edition but no card:set_enhancement

[stray warren]

set_ability

[unkempt kestrel]

oh wait yeah i just found that

[vast fractal]

WARN - [♥] Pattern 'mult = mod_mult(mult + effects[ii].mult)' on target 'functions/state_events.lua' for pattern patch from SurtrMod\lovely\boss_blind_switch.toml resulted in no matches

why it is resulted in no matches for some reason?

[gaunt thistle]

sanity check is to make sure it's not being modified by a different patch before yours

[marble flint]

pretty sure smods new calc nukes that

in smods/lovely/better_calc.toml

[vast fractal]

time to suffer again 😭

[daring fern]

Is there anyway to make vouchers in the consumable slots not calculate?

[lethal ridge]

Pi

[chrome widget]

For reasons that escape me, attempting to hook G.FUNCS.evaluate_play results in an indefinite hang

G.FUNCS.evaluate_play = function(e)
    local ret = ref_evaluate_play(e)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'immediate',
        func = function()     
            if math.floor(hand_chips*mult) >= G.GAME.blind.chips then
                G.GAME.chip_novas = G.GAME.chip_novas + 1
                check_for_unlock({type = 'chip_nova', total_novas = G.GAME.chip_novas})
            end
            return true 
        end
    }))
    return ret
end```

It just hangs here after scoring?

WHOOP found the problem. It was in another function entirely lol

[daring fern]

I fixed this by hooking calculate.

[fickle stag]

how do I debug this crash lmfao

[minor furnace]

For some reason my blind UI vanishes between waves 💀

[small moon]

Getting this crash when trying to view the Achievements tab in-game for my mod
These are the two Achievements I've added:

[minor furnace]

I suspect the issue lies somewhere in Game:update()

because currently I'm setting the new blind in Game:update_hand_played()

it's probably some STATE transition thing I need to figure out

[chrome widget]

Hmm now I'm trying out how to determine if you played a card that was face down

It seems like the facing and ability.wheel_flipped properties are both set before any of the regular hand contexts are fired

[daring fern]

Is it possible to make a showman but for vouchers?

[chrome widget]

You'll probably have to do some edits to default vouchers to make sure voucher copies work properly, but it's not impossible with a lovely patch probably

[azure pilot]

Is setting ref_evaluate_play to G.FUNCS.evaluate_play and then putting that inside of G.FUNCS.evaluate_play itself intentional, and wouldn't that cause infinite recursion? Or am I dumb

[chrome widget]

That's intentional and wouldn't cause recursion

It's saving the existing function saved in the key, then overwriting it, and then calling the original within the function body. It's essentially the same as calling an the base of an overidden method in more properly OOP languages

[azure pilot]

Oh I think I see, its originally bound to the vanilla Balatro function, and then you make your own and call the original, kind of like using super()

[chrome widget]

Yep, basically

[azure pilot]

Neat

[chrome widget]

But no the reason for the hang was bcause I had also overridden the end_round function, but the event I queued inside it didn't return true

If you don't intentionally return true from events, they play indefinitely

[azure pilot]

I see, good to know

I'm a little unfamiliar with Lua, but I like how its structured, its so easy to navigate when it's basically just a bunch of functions lol

[small moon]

Anyone have any ideas? I'm really confused

I half feel like I need a localization file for this and it's crashing because it's not finding one

[covert scroll]

Is there a index for all the color codes in this format like {X:mult,C:white} X#1# {} Mult for loc_text it would be nice to know ones for like money, chips, etc

[small moon]

misc_functions.lua function name loc_colour

[chrome widget]

That function indexes shorthands for colors stored in the G.C table (colors)

[small moon]

Is it not also what the C:white and stuff reference?

[small moon]

If you want an image for easier reference I made this a bit ago

[daring fern]

Is there a way to force jimbos voice to be half the speed and pitch?

[foggy carbon]

when does Card:set_debuff( actually get run? If I made it so that certain bosses only had a chance to debuff, when would that RNG be rolled?

when the card is drawn, or when the boss blind is selected?

[vocal cedar]

sexy

a joker a day keeps the depression at bay!

thus i begin to mod my fourth joker ever

adding all my buddies as jokers to start

then once im comfortable

doing an ACTUAL good mod that reworks the legendary jokers significantly

[gaunt thistle]

The legendary joker rework sounds interesting

We'll be watching your progress intently

[old bane]

do sticker effects not calculate anymore when a Joker is disabled?

because in an earlier version of smods they did and now they do

[solar eagle]

i mean you could.. but why

some dont do anything if redeemed multiple times

[daring fern]

Because I have a joker that creates a copy of vouchers to the consumable slots.

[solar eagle]

mess with in_pool and allow_duplicates maybe? idk

[lethal ridge]

Im done

3 layers

Pi joker

!!!

[solar eagle]

what function displays the text here?

bc its set by G.FUNCS.evaluate_play once you click Play Hand but i cant figure out what does beforehand

[teal belfry]

crash upon starting a run, any deck breaks it, no sleeve, white stake

[solar eagle]

ok

[teal belfry]

thanks very helpful

[solar eagle]

is this cause of a mod youre creating?

[teal belfry]

no but i was directed here after i posted the crash in #⚙・modding-general

[solar eagle]

this is for mod development mostly

we arent ur free troubleshooters

[runic pecan]

Am cooking rn

[solar eagle]

PARSE_HIGHLIGHTED GOTCHA

[tall wharf]

hi

[runic pecan]

I'd suggest you to disable all the mods you have, and then re-enable each mod one-by-one.

[teal belfry]

it turned out cryptid was outdated

[daring fern]

How does one achieve this?

[paper zealot]

Good to know, thanks for following up with this

[runic pecan]

My first thought would be using resource pack, with an extra sound file that meets your requirement.
Or using SMODS.Sound to make some replacement.

[daring fern]

How do I replace the sounds?

[runic pecan]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Sound#utility-functions

[gaunt thistle]

My presumption is that you could lovely patch this function

in card_character.lua

or just call play_sound directly with your own pitch and volume values

[tall wharf]

wtf jimbo has 11 voices

[gaunt thistle]

jimbo is a talented vocalist

[vocal cedar]

actually gorgous

[gaunt thistle]

whoa this looks amazing

[heady siren]

I wanna override the played poker hand, and I'm doing so by changing the played hand text and then setting the chips and mult to the new poker hand values, but when it gets past the before context it forcibly sets the chips and mult back to the original values, is there any way to make them stay that way without exiting the before context?

[tall wharf]

thunk spitting fax

[heady siren]

This is the current code in the before context

I don't know how I'd make it not reset to the original values, the text stays changed, but not the actual chip and mult values

I also wanna find a way to increment the played count for the new poker hand and reverse the played count for the original poker hand

[daring fern]

I don't understand how I would use this.

[tall wharf]

can poker hand set score value directly

[heady siren]

How?

[tall wharf]

very important to what i wanna do

[heady siren]

Oh you're asking a question

[runic pecan]

An example would be:SMODS.Sound{ key = 'new_voice1', path = 'new_voice1.ogg', replace = 'voice1' }

[runic pecan]

Or you can use the method metherul suggested #💻・modding-dev message

[tall wharf]

just mod_chips / mult and update the texr accordingy;

[heady siren]

Read message and watch video

It resets the chips / mult to the original hand value

[pale venture]

Is there a way to check if the cards in your full deck have changed in any way? I'd want to avoid running a function that iterates through the deck every frame

[heady siren]

I also tried chip_mod and mult_mod and it still did the same thing

[tall wharf]

hmmmm

[simple mural]

Dynamic description for joker

[heady siren]

You can set local variables to be strings

That's how triggers on [hand] works in descriptions

[simple mural]

You to me?

[heady siren]

Yeh

You can put an empty string in the description and then change the string in the joker logic

[simple mural]

Yea i thought about it

[simple mural]

Can I set the description as a local table?

[heady siren]

The description local variables are put in within the string so probably not

You can try it if you want to

[simple mural]

For dynamic description I need to use the same as for values from vars?

[heady siren]

Yeah

[simple mural]

Oke

[heady siren]

Just with strings instead of numbers

[long sun]

is there a way of setting the number of chips directly?

[daring fern]

hand_chips = mod_chips(chips) I think.

I'm not certain though.

I just checked and it should work.

[heady siren]

Still trying to figure this out

[hushed field]

I'm not sure about the exact details, because this is a pretty specific idea you're implementing, but I reckon you may need to hook or patch the eval code, as I suspect the actual base chips and mult are set a bit later, so get overridden. Let me check when boss blinds change that

[long sun]

grand ^^ will try

[heady siren]

If not doing it in the before context, is it possible to do it without taking joker or card order into account? If not just override which poker hand is being played in general? I know Cryptid has some cards that can override poker hand played

[hushed field]

I just checked, the evaluate_play function sets the poker hand only after the before context is called. You could create a function that does the exact same thing as Blind:modify_hand, and just inject that to run before the blind function does

I have no clue how cryptid approaches it, sorry

[tall wharf]

omg ghost

[long sun]

haiiiii :D

[vocal cedar]

true

i once got hacked by some steam giftcard link

it sent it to all my dms and servers

you should join the serveer

[heady siren]

I will not be joining the server [=

[vocal cedar]

join my server for free oiled up jimbos rn!!!

[hushed field]

Blind:modify_hand exists already, so I'd say, just make a function that does exactly that, but isn't on the blind, haha. Or maybe, now that I think about it, just call that function? 🤔

[lethal ridge]

imma make a blackhole joker

[heady siren]

I tried calling that function, didn't do anything

[vocal cedar]

post this gif every time you ping the mods from now on

[heady siren]

That function hooks into the evaluate_play function, which is where the stuff it returns is actually referenced

[hushed field]

oh yeah, just looked at it again, won't do anything if the blind isn't the flint, haha

[lethal ridge]

i have that gif somehow saved

[long sun]

getting this error, what does it mean?

[hushed field]

but as I said, just copy that implementation into a global function, and inject it to run right before when the blind version of it gets called

[lethal ridge]

b1 doesnt exist

[long sun]

aware

[hushed field]

or create a context that gets called there

[long sun]

but i don't know what that implies

[heady siren]

I'd like to avoid making new functions because localthunk's base game code is complete alien speak to me

[lethal ridge]

send code

[heady siren]

The code is likely referencing a base game file, and doesn't reference back to their own file directly

[long sun]

well, the exception wasn't thrown in my code, but okay

[lethal ridge]

ohh

[long sun]

SMODS.Joker {
  key = 'goo',
  config = { extra = { chips = 200 } },
  rarity = 2,
  atlas = 'Phanta',
  pos = { x = 1, y = 9 },
  cost = 7,
  blueprint_compat = false,
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { vars = { card.ability.extra.added_xmult, card.ability.extra.current_xmult } }
  end,
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main then
      hand_chips = mod_chips(chips)
    end
  end
}```

[heady siren]

Something in their file is trying to reference something in a base game file and the base game file is the one that got confused

[long sun]

ah wait is it because i forgot a localisation entry

sjdkfgn waitwait

no i see it -w-

chips

fsdngdjkgnkdf this code is garbage, sorry 😭

[hushed field]

Hmm, maybe someone that's actually good with coding can set it up then, haha, I don't know how I'd do it without making a function or a new context

[heady siren]

I just need to find a way to apply chips and mult independently from jokers or cards

[zealous glen]

How so

[forest ivy]

ig thats first joker ever made by ai

[long sun]

ah, so the chip setting code worked, but it didn't display that on the left

[lethal ridge]

ai?

[forest ivy]

ai.

[heady siren]

I'm trying to brute force a poker hand to be considered a different poker hand, by changing the hand text and adding the difference between the original poker hand and the replacement poker hand in chips and mult

[long sun]

ai? why?

[forest ivy]

what is 'why' supposted to mean

[daring fern]

update_hand_text({delay = 0}, {chips = hand_chips})

[zealous glen]

There’s a function that computes what poker hand the hand is supposed to be. I think you can just hook it to use your desired poker hand

[long sun]

like. why is ai better than making it yourself

[zealous glen]

conditionally of course

[heady siren]

And doing so in the before context isn't actually possible because after the before context it resets the chips and mult to be the original poker hand value

[forest ivy]

when did i say that it is better.

[heady siren]

If it's evaluate_hand or modify_hand I don't think I'm gonna be able to use those

[zealous glen]

If you do it correctly it should work

[long sun]

you implied that when you used AI instead of making it yourself

[lethal ridge]

wait

[long sun]

cheers ^^

[lethal ridge]

this just gave me a cool idea

proceedurally generated jokers

[heady siren]

That would be incredibly difficult if not impossible, good luck

[zealous glen]

Someone has done it before IIRC

[lethal ridge]

i saw someone make that in a different game

so it might be possible

[zealous glen]

I think someone else was trying to do something similar yesterday

[heady siren]

That's not really how game programming works, but alright

You could make randomized effects pulled from a list in a single joker when it's acquired but I think that's about it

[long sun]

perfect, that works, thanks!! :D

[lethal ridge]

true

[zealous glen]

That’s procedural generation ;P

[heady siren]

Anyways, what functions, this doesn't really give me much to work off of

[zealous glen]

I don’t know off the top of my head. I’d read the scoring pipeline and see where poker hand is calculated

I know it’s called when you highlight cards

And it calls something like get_flush for the different poker hands

[heady siren]

There's two functions that I've seen that directly modify the played hand but they are self referential and I can't really hook into them easily

[zealous glen]

You don’t want to modify the played hand, you want to change the poker hand type as it’s calculated

It returns a table containing every hand contained in your hand

So you can just add the entire hand to the correct place in that table

Or replace the output

[heady siren]

I might be stupid, and I probably am, but I can't even like, comprehend how I'm going to do that

It's a miracle I've gotten 5 jokers to work so far

[lethal ridge]

how do i put 3 layers on a joker

like soul_pos for the second one

but how with the third?

[tall wharf]

?

[lethal ridge]

jokers that are generated in the game with code

[tall wharf]

???????

[lethal ridge]

like

a joker that gets created randomly

with random effects and art

like it got ai generated

[runic pecan]

• which context its effect triggers
• which kind of effect it has
  Randomly generating combinations
  You mean like that?

[tall wharf]

o i i a

[lethal ridge]

i looked into cryptid mod

i saw it used

soul_pos.extra

i tried that too but it doesnt work

[zealous glen]

Cryptid adds its own third layer to be handled automatically

[tall wharf]

they have extra code

[lethal ridge]

ohh

[tall wharf]

"คุณพี่กำลังทำอะไร"

[lethal ridge]

i want to add more soul layer to joker

[tall wharf]

youll have to handle

draw steps

[runic pecan]

Tbh I had thought of that, and know how to do so. But it doesn't fit into the mod I'm currently working on so I haven't touched that since.

[tall wharf]

n shit

[lethal ridge]

okay

thanks

[runic pecan]

I do have an idea about generating random art, though.

Just stacking stickers.

[lethal ridge]

yea

[runic pecan]

Like those online character creator stuff

[lethal ridge]

like a mix and match

[zealous glen]

You don’t need DrawSteps if it’s for a single Joker

[lethal ridge]

single joker?

[runic pecan]

They meant diff arts for diff effects.

[lethal ridge]

i might need it on multiple jokers

[zealous glen]

Then it’s probably better to add a new DrawStep

[lethal ridge]

good thing this exists

[zealous glen]

Currently I only have it on two

[lethal ridge]

i can now go search how people do it

[zealous glen]

woahhh

thats sick

[zealous glen]

Thank you

[zealous glen]

Is this Thai sus?

[vocal cedar]

hey chatters

working on a specratl card

any good pixel artists here know how to like

"de-smooth" the pixels? when i try to double the size of the background it turns all smooth and blurry

[lethal ridge]

not sus

[zealous glen]

Nearest neighbor scaling

[vocal cedar]

that on krita?

[zealous glen]

What is it then 🤔

[zealous glen]

Probably

[lethal ridge]

just asking what i want to do

in this case make a third layer of soulpos

[lethal ridge]

interesting

[zealous glen]

I reckon it’s in most popular relevant art softwares

[lyric wadi]

i just googled pixel art scaler tbh

[heady siren]

I DID IT, BY GOD I DID IT

[lyric wadi]

i use this one https://lospec.com/pixel-art-scaler/

[lethal ridge]

thank youuuuu

[vocal cedar]

peak lemmie try

[paper zealot]

That's totally unnecessary

Just scale it up in whatever program you're using

[heady siren]

SETTING G.GAME.new_poker_hand CHANGES THE HAND CHIPS AND MULT

[paper zealot]

I guarantee there's a setting to not use interpolation

[lyric wadi]

yeah you see

the problem is that i use gimp

[lethal ridge]

so thats how u change the chips?

without joker?

[heady siren]

Specifically to override the played hand, nothing else

[lethal ridge]

ohhh

[zealous glen]

Seems like it

[lethal ridge]

what is vortex in drawstep?

[lyric wadi]

spoken like someone who never touched gimp

[paper zealot]

I exclusively use Gimp

[lyric wadi]

my condolences

[paper zealot]

Gimp 3 is great if you haven't updated, by the way

[lethal ridge]

how does the order work in drawstep

its a bit confusing

[zealous glen]

It’s on the wiki

It just draws each step in order

[lethal ridge]

ohh over here

[vocal cedar]

nearest neighbor worked im kissing you mentally rn

[tall wharf]

lmao

force of habit to say RC

[vocal cedar]

gotta put the finishing touches on it tho

not quite done

but by god thank you

[lethal ridge]

SMODS.DrawStep{
key = 'shs_thirdsoul_pos',
order = 59,
func = function(card, layer)

end

}

a bit confusing

how should i proceed

do i say that

if card.ability.soul_pos.extra then

something like that

[paper zealot]

You've got two different pixel sizes in this. Work and edit the 1x asset, then scale up when you're completely finished

[vocal cedar]

yep, plan on doing that in the future lol

2x is so hard to edit

[tall wharf]

what is going on 😭

[vocal cedar]

@paper zealot this is day three for me king

[lethal ridge]

if i print in my code

it will go in the command thing right

[paper zealot]

If you're using Steamodded, there's also functions like sendDebugMessage, sendInfoMessage and sendWarnMessage to format the logs consistently
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Logging

[lethal ridge]

thanks

uhoh i guess im cooked

i fixed it :D

helpp how do i do this

[manic rune]

good morning everyone

[lethal ridge]

hello

[lethal ridge]

how do i fix thiss

[manic rune]

:3 whats that

[manic rune]

watchu doing here?

[tall wharf]

math deck preparation

[manic rune]

:3

jesus

[vocal cedar]

ITS FUCKING DONE!

Ghost: Convert up to 5 selected cards to become Negative
-1 Discard

literally did the entire fucking thing by hand actually took me 4 hours

[lethal ridge]

i dont know

[tall wharf]

I'm going to add math deck

[lethal ridge]

my code just broke randomly

[manic rune]

-# wdym u dont know

[vocal cedar]

thoughts chat?

[lethal ridge]

art is so gorgeous

[tall wharf]

what's up with 2px border

[vocal cedar]

wdym

[tall wharf]

i think the background is too busy

[lethal ridge]

like all i was tryin to do is make a extra soul layer on my card

and my game just broke randomly

i removed all my drawstep stuff

and it is still broken

[manic rune]

the background is too much

[vocal cedar]

i do agree, i kinda wish it was less

[manic rune]

but the ghost sprite looks really cute

[vocal cedar]

one pixel looked weird tbh

[manic rune]

huh

[tall wharf]

i think you should make them all 2 pixels

if that's the case

[vocal cedar]

it originally looked like this

[manic rune]

try removing pieces of your code to identify the problem

[tall wharf]

@long sun omg it's u

[manic rune]

i dont have anything much to work with here, sorry

[lethal ridge]

i removed everything already

[manic rune]

what

remove your mod folder

[manic rune]

thats definitely too much 💔

[long sun]

dfjkngjkdnfjkgndfngjd!!!! awhhhhh!!!!

[tall wharf]

not my art

[long sun]

lil' guyyyy

aware :3

[tall wharf]

i do not claim it as mine

[long sun]

was tempted to make Ghost a tarot / spectral card, but i decided to make tarots / spectrals around ghosts ^^

[lethal ridge]

okay

[lethal ridge]

i removed my mods folder

wait it fixed by itself

so weird

[prisma loom]

Is it possible to adjust pitch and volume in return?

[vocal cedar]

i think i actually did it

removed the border

see how he looks kinda like

thin tho

[tall wharf]

are you using layers

[vocal cedar]

mhm

[vocal cedar]

heres bro by himself

[manic rune]

is this how i do it

[tall wharf]

i think he's a bit dented

[vocal cedar]

should i just 2x border him

[vocal cedar]

hes mentally challenged

[manic rune]

-# im getting a crash rn, it says the colour is wrong

[vocal cedar]

he hit his head

anyway

plastic surgery

[tall wharf]

the other side too

[paper zealot]

Still has mixels. The top left corner is mixels, and the ghost is vertically offset by 1/2 pixel from the rest of the pixel grid

[vocal cedar]

oh thats ass one sec

[vocal cedar]

bro i

i dont know what that means

😭

[tall wharf]

in essence you're not using consistent pixel size

some pixels are smaller than the rest

[paper zealot]

If you scoot the ghost down by 1, then resize the image down by half, it'll be good

[vocal cedar]

yeah bc i originally started on the 2x template on accident

[tall wharf]

scale it down 😭

[vocal cedar]

gotcha

[vocal cedar]

i cant scale bro any smaller 😭

[marble finch]

quick question, even though ive seen there is the option to influence reroll costs, i havent really seen the option to force a reroll, does anyone know where i could start looking into it?

[paper zealot]

Making sure to use no (or "nearest neighbour") interpolation

[manic rune]

mmmm

is this wrong?

[vocal cedar]

yepyep

[azure pilot]

What is the next() function/Where is its definition?

[vocal cedar]

fixed lol

[paper zealot]

This is probably from missing brackets in a node definition, or a text/DynaText object without a colour

[vocal cedar]

this is bg btw

[manic rune]

...im actually not sure what that means 😭

all i did was putting a new rarity key in my joker

thats weird

orrrr does it not require the mod prefix

and its just 3stars?

[zealous glen]

Blind idea:

Discard unselected cards instead of selected card

[vocal cedar]

this better you think? removed the white accent in the background

[manic rune]

hmmm

yeah, that looks much nicer

[vocal cedar]

yeah

thats

easier on the eyes

lol

[zealous glen]

I think I might need a hook or patch to make it work though

[paper zealot]

Definitely an improvement. Also looks like the middle layer between the ghost and the background is offset by 1 pixel, both horizontally and vertically

[zealous glen]

And I expect it’s definitely one people will mess up out of instinctual motion

[vocal cedar]

what an eye. good catch

[brazen notch]

in my opinion your biggest issue here is mixeling, which means mixing different pixel sizes
in other words, you're drawing on a 2x version of the card with a 1px brush

[paper zealot]

Look close at the little gaps between the middle layer and the background, you can see inconsistency where half pixels are peeking through

[vocal cedar]

so heres the thing

[zealous glen]

There’s also some missing pixels on the top left corner

[manic rune]

alright so hsr_3stars is definitely the correct key

i just dont know whats with the colour crash

[vocal cedar]

your gonna kill me for this one lol

😭

ooooooh fuck

[paper zealot]

Colour is just the first parameter of a UI that gets accessed, it shows up whenever a UI is malformed or has invalid parameters

[vocal cedar]

heard you like half pixels

[manic rune]

mhm, i know that

[zealous glen]

I think they’re working with a badge

[manic rune]

but whats the cause 💔

[zealous glen]

Because it’s a custom rarity

[manic rune]

yeah

[zealous glen]

So it needs a badge color

[paper zealot]

Just a matter of shuffling things around until it all aligns, then scale down to 1x so that it can't be a problem anymore

[vocal cedar]

true true

problem for tomorrow me

man i havent even coded ts yet

shouldnt be too bad tho

thanks for all the art advice @paper zealot

i have

never touched a pencil let alone a pixel in my life!

[paper zealot]

Learning new skills is always worthwhile, keep at it

[zealous glen]

Crayon-only run

[vocal cedar]

you too thanks btw

[vocal cedar]

yessir

[zealous glen]

I also basically started doing art by editing Balatro Jokers

[vocal cedar]

its peak

pixel art is fun

im a programmer by name and school so i was like i might as well try doing the art as well right

[manic rune]

i should def get into pixel art at one point too

[long sun]

my Joker's crashing when i play a hand, does anyone know why?

SMODS.Joker {
  key = 'apollosbracelet',
  config = { extra = {  } },
  rarity = 2,
  atlas = 'Phanta',
  pos = { x = 4, y = 10 },
  cost = 6,
  blueprint_compat = true,
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main then
      local temp_chips = hand_chips
      hand_chips = mod_chips(hand_mult)
      hand_mult = mod_chips(temp_chips)
      update_hand_text({delay = 0}, {chips = hand_chips, mult = hand_mult})
      return { message = localize("swapped"), colour = G.C.FILTER, card = card }
    end
  end
}```

[zealous glen]

You don’t need to implement swapping

Just return swap = true I think

[long sun]

oh that exists??

whaaaa??

[zealous glen]

It’s vanilla

[long sun]

whar!!

[zealous glen]

If not this check the wiki

[long sun]

was it used in vanilla?

[zealous glen]

Not in any release I’m aware of

The old Gold Seal code is still in the game too, at least partially

[long sun]

oh? what did it do before?

[zealous glen]

Returned a played card to the hand

[long sun]

ah icic ^^

aha swap = true works :DDD

[maiden river]

Wait that's kinda busted

[zealous glen]

It was very weak in the demo because

The only way to get it was on a random card

So it was absolutely useless

[maiden river]

Oh 😭

[daring fern]

Is there a way to get current tags?

[hushed field]

finished the third legendary joker for Kino. Only 7 more to go

[warped marsh]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main and (context.poker_hands['Three of a Kind']) then
            return{
                dollars = 8
            }
        end
        if context.cardarea == G.play and (context.poker_hands['Three of a Kind']) and context.destroy_card then
            return{
                remove = true
            }
        end
    end
``` I have simple problem, here the game is checking for a 3 of a kind but it also checks 4 of a kind,  and it still gives money and destroys the card, etc but i want to be only 3 of a kind

[hushed field]

poker_hands is used to check if a hand contains that hand type. context.scoring_name == 'Three of a Kind' checks is the scoring hand is 3 of a kind only

[warped marsh]

Oh I did not know that!

Also Ice!!!

exciting news but I got someone to do all the descriptions for me!

and they actually got some good experience

[azure pilot]

Which joker context variable checks all five cards used for a play, regardless of if they score? full_hand or scoring_hand?

[hushed field]

full!

[shell timber]

for some reason when i use the chips xchips etc. effects in the before context the effects get overwritten immediately after

[hushed field]

oh, very nice! Always great when people wanna help!

[hushed field]

you can't add or change score during the before context

[azure pilot]

What would get all cards in play in that case? like played as hand and also the cards that you didn't use

[shell timber]

shame

how would i do it before cards are scored?

[hushed field]

depends on the goal

[azure pilot]

Or just the ones you don't use

[hushed field]

depends very heavily on what you wanna do

[shell timber]

something like this

[hushed field]

you're going to want to add a new context that triggers before main joker scoring, but after before scoring, so that the hand setting doesn't override it

[daring fern]

How could one achieve this?

[brazen notch]

doesn't this seem like a Triboulet sidegrade

[hushed field]

My main worry is more so that it's just straight up stronger, honestly, haha

[zinc forum]

Anyone knows how SMODS configs work? I'm getting attempt to index field 'current_mod' (a nil value) trying to access SMODS.current_mod.config.language

For reference here's my config.lua

return {
    ["language"] = "en"
}```

And here's where I try to access it

SMODS.current_mod.config_tab = function()
    return {n = G.UIT.ROOT, config = {align = "cm"}, nodes = {
        create_option_cycle({
            label = "Language",
            scale = 0.8,
            w = 6,
            options = {"English", "Japanese", "French"},
            opt_callback = 'rh_update_language',
            ref_value = 'language',
            current_option = SMODS.current_mod.config.language, -- This is where it crashes
          })
    
    }}
end```

[brazen notch]

where are you calling this from?

[zinc forum]

My main mod file

[warped marsh]

SMODS.add_card({ key = "j_eof" }) Will this create that Joker?

[zinc forum]

As in, the one that has the mod name, nothing external or anything

[zinc forum]

Remember you need to add your mod prefix as well

j_something_eof is probably more like what you're looking for

[warped marsh]

okay okay ill try that

[zinc forum]

It's literally the first function of my file as well

I'm on the latest SMODS, maybe it has something to do with it?

[daring fern]

I figured it out, it's G.GAME.tags

[zinc forum]

Ok so yeah it's just my bad, SMODS.current_mod only exists on loading which makes sense why it would die then

[maiden phoenix]

You can save SMODS.current_mod in a variable

[zinc forum]

Yeah I got that after fumbling around a bit

Now the config tab doesn't crash! just need to learn how to actually save, hopefully it won't be too difficult

[maiden phoenix]

Did you make a config.lua?

[simple mural]

Is there any wiki on Balatro sources? About what is there and how it works.

[zinc forum]

I did yes

[maiden phoenix]

Normally it should save automatically

[iron iron]

using tetration on a joker about 4 card hands is nice lol

square joker supreme

[modern kindle]

Good schmorning chat

[thin anchor]

mornighn

[manic rune]

hi dilly :D

[modern kindle]

Bepiisssss

How are you this day

[manic rune]

im goog

but adding custom rarities is KILLING me

💔

[zinc forum]

Apparently not but I'm probably doing something wrong either way

[modern kindle]

What you adding as rarity
Higher that legendary?

[manic rune]

no

just a custom rarity

i dunno why they are crashing 💔

[sonic cedar]

have you tried just

registering a new color

[manic rune]

what

so my color is invalid? 🥀

[hushed field]

me when i'm ...

no never mind, not finishing that joke

[manic rune]

im actually so confused

why is it crashing

like, what?

[hushed field]

My only instinct looking at that is that it might be capitalization?

[modern kindle]

Hi ice

[hushed field]

I always write my hex codes in lower case, but I don't know if love2d or balatro's code cares about it

yo yo dill

[manic rune]

yeah but

balatro source code uses lowercase

so i dont think thats the problem

[sonic cedar]

it used both fr 😭

[manic rune]

we love inconsistency in our code 🗣️

[modern kindle]

teh age old addage of working...

[paper zealot]

I'm not able to check the code at the moment, but have you tried providing just a string instead of the colour table?

[manic rune]

oh, let me try that

[sonic cedar]

oh right duh

it doesn’t like that right

[hushed field]

all other badge_colour arguments work with HEX(), does rarity parse it differently?

[manic rune]

...

-# are we sure this is correct

[thin anchor]

jo
ker

[manic rune]

aaaand nope

[manic rune]

is that RandomJoker

[thin anchor]

yes i LOOVE SELF INSERTS!!!! YEAHHHH!!!

[manic rune]

we love self inserts... ✊

[paper zealot]

Is k_3stars defined in a localization file somewhere?

[manic rune]

mhm

[sonic cedar]

that

what if k_hsr_3stars

[agile thistle]

hey hold on actually what's the traceback

[manic rune]

no, its hsr_3stars

[paper zealot]

Might just need to be k_3stars or k_hsr_3stars depending on timing

[agile thistle]

that's useful info

[manic rune]

...

-# what the fuck

no, like

if i want to get the rarity to use in my jokers, i use hsr_3stars

but for anything else its k_hsr_3stars??

[paper zealot]

I'm speaking a bit out of my depth, just looking at the smods game_object.lua file now

[manic rune]

ah, right

wait lemme crash again

-# ignore that ONE mod please :3

[agile thistle]

nah we're not going to ignore Marge Simpson's Joker Pack

[manic rune]

what the hell is that 😭

[sonic cedar]

marge gambling episode

https://tenor.com/view/degenerate-the-simpsons-gambling-addiction-gambler-gambling-gif-13429290

[lethal ridge]

i cant figure this out

[manic rune]

i remember the episode when Marge played poker

[lethal ridge]

im trying to use drawstep to get another layer

but drawstep documentation dont tell me much

[manic rune]

doesnt seem to be it

[vast fractal]

does everyone know where the function of displaying the thingy in the red circle in SMODS?
im trying to find it for like hours now

[lethal ridge]

isnt that message

when you calculate

[manic rune]

they mean the function handling that

but im pretty sure thats in the balatro source code

not smods

[agile thistle]

i'll look into this in a little bit

[lethal ridge]

how do i use drawstep ahh

[manic rune]

thanks 🙏

[agile thistle]

from my guess somehow colour isn't being passed??? somehow????

[manic rune]

i dont know.

🥀

[agile thistle]

not so much a you issue i think

[manic rune]

i made sure that the rarity file is loaded BEFORE the joker file too

[vast fractal]

let me try finding this pain 😭

[agile thistle]

also

wild thing

make sure to run your mod entirely by itself, too (and with dependencies, obviously)

[manic rune]

true true

[agile thistle]

could also happen via a weird compatibility crack

[manic rune]

i have the custom decks for testing my jokers

[thin anchor]

how would i create a joker that creates a temporary playing card for every scoring played card?

[manic rune]

but im pretty sure they shouldn't interfere with the rarities 💔

i will do that just to be sure though

[paper zealot]

You also tried k_3stars? I'm not sure exactly when the process_loc_text function is called, but it's possible that it happens before the hsr_ prefix is added onto the key

[manic rune]

oh, without the mod prefix? i will try that, hol on

thats also a nope

[paper zealot]

Seemed unlikely but wanted to check just in case

I'll stop offering bad advice now and wait for someone more experienced with SMODS to weigh in

[manic rune]

they are not bad advices at all, dw :3

[frosty dock]

none ofthe localization stuff should mess with colours unless there's literally colours encoded in the text

[paper zealot]

Man, i hate this syntax

[shell timber]

??? you can write it like that???

HEX is a function

[frosty dock]

stringcalls

[manic rune]

that actually looks so cursed

💔

[shell timber]

of course lua has stringcalls

[frosty dock]

print "Hello world!"

[paper zealot]

Yeah, it's a lua thing. Valid for function calls with only a single string, or a single table

It's also why function_to_call{ 1, 2, 3 } is valid, which I'm also not a big fan of

[paper zealot]

Useless trivia: Python 2 supported this syntax for print explicitly through the interpreter, but turned print into a standard function in Py3 requiring parentheses like any other

[thin anchor]

all i did was change 1 line of perkeo (line 275)

[manic rune]

you shouldn't name that var "card"

[paper zealot]

Holy comments, Batman

[thin anchor]

yeah, its in the example jokers mod, lol

[modern kindle]

i mean hey, comments are good

[thin anchor]

very useful to be honest

[manic rune]

comments are very useful

especially for when you take a rest from your mod for like a few weeks

then come back

[open aspen]

Or, if your working on a mod with others

[manic rune]

"wtf r those for"

-# no kidding, that was my reaction reading my own code too

[modern kindle]

bro i take a break for a day and i dont know what i did

[thin anchor]

or if youre a stupid idiot like me!!!

[modern kindle]

so my comments are there to remind me

[manic rune]

same.

thats why i always have comments next to the functions

[thin anchor]

now i gotta figure out how to fix this darn it

[hushed field]

setting up a small new mod and god I've just straight up forgotten the basics. Here I go reading the basic tutorials again, haha

[daring fern]

Does perkeo not work in context.before?

[modern kindle]

i just throw my shit mid code

[manic rune]

me too, but i think some of my functions lack that

[thin anchor]

i guess not

[hushed field]

I theoretically wanna go through all my code and format it as readable as possible, but also, anyone that goes through that effort is a better person tha n me because laziness hits me immediately

[manic rune]

-# i mean, if other people were to make content based on my mod FOR SOME REASON, then i already provided every function they will need :3

[quartz ravine]

A set of glass jokers, in stained glass

One tracks the idol card rank to turn cards into glass,

another retriggers glass (while also reapplying the glass break risks, so be careful!)

the final card increases or decreases its own permanent mult bonus based on glass cards breaking or not

[hushed field]

That art is gorgeous, holy hell

[daring fern]

What I'm doing is basically the same thing but it doesn't crash it just doesn't duplicate anything.

[thin anchor]

it crashes for me when it has nothing to do

[quartz ravine]

perkeo fires on 'ending_shop'

[modern kindle]

i feel you
i just have really leaned into 'as long as i understand it'

but hopefully comments help a little

[quartz ravine]

Thank you, I did terrible paper sketches then my wife went wild on the idea and made these ❤️

[manic rune]

i genuinely feel sorry and grateful for those who are helping me with the Rarity crash

💔

[open aspen]

this is one project where i did it from the beginning because i will soon make a git that other people will be adding stuff too

Is there any way to access the sprite of a sticker? I want to rescale my sticker to be half the size

[hushed field]

i want my code to be able to be torn apart or used by others once I lose interest in Kino. Theoretically I'd want someone to be able to think 'oh, let's maintain that abandoned movie mod' without ever having to have me involved, haha

[daring fern]

It still doesn't duplicate anything.

[modern kindle]

i wish i could help, ive only added some colors for the title screen and i have added them into the g.c table

[paper zealot]

You're sure it's due to that one SMODS Rarity addition? Does it not happen if it's removed?

[manic rune]

when i use the vanilla rarities, it doesnt crash

[quartz ravine]

What is your full question?

[manic rune]

its the specific joker with that custom rarity that crashes whenever i try to hover my mouse on it

[modern kindle]

terrible mindset, its either your creation or nobody gets it 😎

[manic rune]

"you cant read my code? not my problem smh"

🗣️

[modern kindle]

if you cant read my code then you dont deserve to use it

totally a fair logic

lmao

[quartz ravine]

My mindset is I will enjoy writing it, but I will put it online and hope others find it and can learn from it.

Write tools to be used by you, but be worthy of thousands of users.

I blog about programming and managing giant environments, so I will write up a multi part series on learning lua and shaders when I am done here

[long sun]

is there a way to output to DebugPlus' console?

[quartz ravine]

sendInfoMessage(" Your message " .. someVariable, self.key)

[manic rune]

eval (code)

[long sun]

grand, thanks ^^

[manic rune]

orrrrr

just use print()

:3

[modern kindle]

im a big print enjoyer

[paper zealot]

Hm, okay, so it's definitely caused by the UI handler failing on an invalid UIElement, most likely the rarity badge. No idea why that would be the case though

[manic rune]

same, prints are cool

[surreal mason]

I wanna make an all-2s deck, how'd I get started?

[modern kindle]

i had a real fun bug i enconutered yesterday where i would crash with my mod but only on gold stake

which was an interesting discovery

[surreal mason]

Aside from being 13×4 2s, it'll also start with Wee and Hack

[hushed field]

i fucking hate having to ask this, but what were to steps again to make a new mod readable by Balatro? I thought it was just a json file and the mere existence of a lua

[paper zealot]

SMODS Rarity assigns G.C.RARITY[self.key] = self.badge_colour, you could check the contents of RARITY to see if the key is the same as with what you're expecting them to be

[quartz ravine]

Have a json file like this

    "id": "foxsGarden",
    "name": "Pawlatro",
    "display_name": "Pawlatro",
    "author": ["FoxDeploy"],
    "description": "A collection of fun and balanced animal themed jokers and tarot cards.",
    "prefix": "Fox",
    "main_file": "config.lua",
    "priority": 1,
    "badge_colour": "0011EC",
    "badge_text_colour": "FBA105",
    "version": "0.0.2",
    "dependencies": [
        "Steamodded (>=1.0.0~ALPHA-1206c)"
    ]
}
``` @hushed field  then also a `lua` file in the same dir, named the value for what you have in  `main_file`

[paper zealot]

config.lua as the main_file seems unusual, but otherwise yep

[hushed field]

That's what I have. I guess I'll have some dumb spelling error appear somewhere that's just breaking things, haha

[manic rune]

......

what the fuck is this fix

i deleted the lovely folder

then i run balatro again, it works now

[paper zealot]

"Fox" as the prefix might also be a little short, i think that's meant to be a unique identifier

[manic rune]

is that even supposed to work??

did i accidentally use dark magic 💔

[modern kindle]

dont matta, it work

youre a prodigy

[manic rune]

well its just the... uh, localization now

so in the SMODS.Joker, im supposed to use "hsr_3stars", but i guess thats not the same in localization

what the hell is this consistency :3

[hushed field]

it was an error in the json somewhere, but I can't see where it is. Scheduling an appointment for a severe dyslexia diagnosis now, I guess 😢

[daring fern]

You need to check for G.consumeables.cards[1]

[thin anchor]

oh

[manic rune]

-# thats dumb

[thin anchor]

ahhh

[manic rune]

its k_hsr_3stars in the localization file, but its hsr_3stars when you are setting the rarity

💔

[opal spade]

print goes into the console by default

so just print(string)

you can use SMODS' logger or debugplus-specific logger too

[surreal mason]

The K is just the mod creator's shortening thingy, right?

[hushed field]

commenting to help people using the search function if they run into this issue: accidental space at the start of the version number

[zealous glen]

Minor spelling mistake:

[thin anchor]

like this?

[daring fern]

No, change if context.before then to if context.before and G.consumeables.cards[1] then

[thin anchor]

ahhh i see

[manic rune]

FINALLY GOT THE CUSTOM RARITIES IMPLEMENTED

ghhhh

[thin anchor]

goog gob

[daring fern]

Why when you have too many cards into your deck you draw a full hand of ghost cards?

[open aspen]

can i spend 600$ on furina in this mod

yes i know its a different game

[zealous glen]

That’s not why you draw ghost cards AFAIK

You draw them because you put them into your deck

Which made it big

[manic rune]

u can spend on seele instead :3

[open aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/kiryu-yakuza-yakuza0-thumbs-up-ok-gif-25102115

[thin anchor]

err

[manic rune]

$500 for seele e1

crap

[manic rune]

its G.consumeables.cards[1]

[daring fern]

Whoops, I meant G.consumeables.cards[1]

[manic rune]

you still need the .cards :3

[thin anchor]

oke

[daring fern]

How do I prevent ghost cards?

[thin anchor]

once again... i love crashes
i have no idea how this happened

im going to slam my head into a brick wall

[zealous glen]

Well you need to identify what’s creating them. You’re probably moving or destroying cards when you shouldn’t

This creates a reference to a card that doesn’t exist

[daring fern]

It looks like you didn't change it back when you did this.

[thin anchor]

oh

oops!

[daring fern]

I have a joker that creates 2 negative copies of random cards in hand and play?

[tall apex]

trash..,,, :3

[manic rune]

trash :3

[tall apex]

im getting a weird crash and i cant figure out whatss causing it.,,

[modern kindle]

trash

[tall apex]

anyone wanna take a quick looky?

[thin anchor]

what are you doing here

[keen tiger]

is it possible to add a new run configuration option

like another check box to "New Run" that allows me to enable the functionality im working on

[tall apex]

idk :3

[keen tiger]

if not ill just figure it out manually

man im going to have to build so much myself

im not making a conventional mod

[daring fern]

I used immolate and it crashed the game.

Also I reloaded the game and the cards came back.

[thin anchor]

how would you check all of the scoring cards youve played in a hand?

[unkempt thicket]

Deck Preview pages

[daring fern]

context.scoring_hand I think.

[thin anchor]

this is cool

[minor furnace]

so you know how smods doesn't prefix consumeable types?

[manic rune]

hi tardis

[minor furnace]

hi!

[minor furnace]

this is what happens if two mods use the same consumeable type key, apparently

[manic rune]

...i mean, it fits

[hushed field]

why... why the hell does the spawning of vouchers in the shop work like that? I assumed they were just gonna be card objects

[shell timber]

oh yeah since it's just create_card("Zodiac"

[minor furnace]

but one of the packs for them causes cards to be drawn, the other mod does not

[manic rune]

the theme fits, not the functionality :3

[minor furnace]

anyways, now I have to rekey every reference to them lol

[daring fern]

How does one copy a card from hand and play into hand without creating ghost cards?

[open aspen]

Is there any way to access the sprite of a sticker? I want to rescale my sticker to be half the size

[next timber]

if i want to make a texture animated, do i have to put the frames on a seperate atlas to the non-animated textures for the same card type?

[open aspen]

i guess this is how I would render the sticker. But I have no idea how to use the draw method.

I assume something like creating a sprite object

[rain slate]

is there a context that's triggered once per joker whenever a hand is discarded?

[timid star]

does anyone know how to work around this? kinda confused on why it's only updating after set events are done

[rain slate]

cuz context.discard is triggered individually for each discarded card

[timid star]

wait nvm

nvm again it still has the same issue

[dire palm]

What the frick? I'm just trying to play my new challenge.

[open aspen]

boss blind think he asriel 💀

[timid star]

🗣️

[next timber]

why would you want that

[shell timber]

money

[timid star]

money

[next timber]

fair

[timid star]

seriously though

i don't know why it isn't updating textures

since animated sprites should bypass events like how the boss blind sprite is still animated

[open aspen]

pokemon cards

[timid star]

oh

i figured it out

i just had to move it out of the other runtime timer that i put in there sigh

somtimes you can forget your own code

[dire palm]

That's not what's causing the problem...

[twilit cargo]

Maybe look at how burnt joker does it

[twilit cargo]

REAL

[dire palm]

Wait... Is it the game update that screwed things up?

[open aspen]

no i just saw that

[open aspen]

anyone have an example of how to use this? for stickers

or a way to access the stickers sprite without a draw method may work too

[daring fern]

How could I make it so when I change the edition when context.card_added it costs how much it would cost normally?

[twilit cargo]

like when it's created from a tarot or sm?

wait no im stupid

ignore

💀

[open aspen]

why 😭

anyone know

[zealous glen]

Where is this

I remember having issues with shared sprites because of SMODS’ inject timing

[maiden river]

why is your mod prefix so long 😭

[open aspen]

i can ctrl f it later

[open aspen]

is this not a good place to put it

[long sun]

hihi! is there a way to destroy all cards held in hand?

or, cards held in hand, in general?

[maiden river]

like the cards that aren't played?

[long sun]

ya

[maiden river]

I'm pretty sure it'd just be if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.hand then and you just return {remove = true}

[long sun]

ah, grand :D

thanks!

[open aspen]

could i potentially even use an event here? to wait until the asset_atlas entry exists?

idk

[gentle rain]

how does the idol decide its ranks?

[maiden river]

it picks a random card in the deck and uses that

[gentle rain]

that i know

[maiden river]

in terms of actual code, I can whip something up rq

[gentle rain]

yeyeye

rn im trying to have it determine 7 random ranks from 7 different cards

[daring fern]

Or crashing?

[maiden river]

local card = pseudorandom_element(G.deck.cards, pseudoseed("idol")) picks a random card, and then you can get the rank from the card with card.base.value for the text or card:get_id() for the number

[gentle rain]

mmm would i put this in the extra table?

[open aspen]

edge case: what if ur deck has 7 ranks or less

[gentle rain]

fallback rank is 5

[maiden river]

nah it'd be in the calculate function

[gentle rain]

mm

[open aspen]

how did you fix it?

[open aspen]

[gentle rain]

omg hi blueprint

[open aspen]

blueprint my goat

[timid star]

finally

[twilit cargo]

based

[open aspen]

god of hyperdeath: its the end isnt it

also god of hyperdeath: 600 chips to win

[timid star]

the thing is, you have to gain a score of 600 (or whatever the score is) or over in one hand to win, there's 6 phases too

[open aspen]

what do the "attacks" do?

[timid star]

deduct health

if a card has no more health then it dies

[open aspen]

OH

thats cool asf

[timid star]

i haven't seen other mods do this

(probably because i don't look up mods lol)

im just glad im able to get my own way of displaying custom animated sprites

[timid star]

card max health is assigned depending on the rank of the card

[hushed field]

I can't remember which mod, but there's definitely one that does it, but not at all in the same way. I love the sound effects, btw, it really makes it all look very polished and impactful

[timid star]

i barely know what im doing but being able to add what's basically cutscene to my mod is going to bring it up a dimension

because i can also apply these to jokers

[open aspen]

ok this finally is a custom draw function for my sticker that works. now please does anyone know how to scale the damn sprite

i just want it to be half the size

[frosty dock]

the third and fourth arguments of the sprite constructor are width and height respectively

[open aspen]

changing them seems to not change the display at all

i will try again

i just set it to 0 and it shows the same as normal

i assume defining sprite in draw in the first place is wrong already anyways

[frosty dock]

tbh I'm not sure about creating sprites in draw functions, usually this isn't wanted

[open aspen]

yea

[frosty dock]

but you can try messing with the scale of the sprite directly i guess

[open aspen]

I tried creating it outside the function (still inside the sticker), that crashes the game tho (i assume it tries to access the atlas before it exists)

[open aspen]

nothing is working between all the variables here

unfortunate

[frosty dock]

might be that it's basing it on the other_obj (the center sprite)

[timid star]

might have to put an option to remove flashing lights

[open aspen]

im worried of that yea

[junior lily]

are you just making the asriel fight a boss blind

[timid star]

yeah

[open aspen]

after looking at the code it does. so my solution is this:

it does work

it also seems like a terrible idea

[junior lily]

I support it's really cool

[daring fern]

Is this possible or do I have to give some money back?

[thin anchor]

how would i check all of the scoring cards played in hand?

[open aspen]

G.TIMERS.REAL

what is the above variable?

can i use it to make procedural animation/movement

[daring fern]

context.scoring_hand I think.

[thin anchor]

may you give me an example? a bit confused on where to put it and how to use it

also how would i copy playing cards for the blind

[minor furnace]

all right, time to lock in and figure out my blind wave issue

[open aspen]

ok i think this one thing ive added to the mod is mostly polished and done

[onyx sonnet]

The video is pure black on my end

[minor furnace]

tag, you're it

[open aspen]

not on my end

or sky

i assume

[minor furnace]

yeah I can see it

[modern kindle]

fine for me too

[forest ivy]

when blinds

[modern kindle]

snaz needs better interwebs

[open aspen]

in the future

[gentle rain]

whats with the second of delay between the last card scoring and the tag moving

[open aspen]

you cant see it but its the score being tallied

[gentle rain]

ah

[open aspen]

i recorded it that way because discord upload limit

[gentle rain]

yeaj

[open aspen]

i could use 8mb.video to compress it

but im lazy

[forest ivy]

i remember when discord made the limit equal to 50

for everybody

but it lasted just 1 day

smh

[open aspen]

anyone know?

[daring fern]

I thought since this server is level 3 in boosts you can upload up to 100 Mb

[thin anchor]

help please?

[daring fern]

So this checks if the first card in scoring is a 2 if it is all scored cards give +4 mult ```lua
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.scoring_hand[1]:get_id() == 2 then
return {
mult = 4
}
end

[thin anchor]

ah

thanks

[minor furnace]

there's definitely either a state variable I'm missing that I need to modify, or a function that I need to prevent from being called

[open aspen]

ur right

[minor furnace]

I'm gonna keep hunting for it myself, but in the meantime does anybody know what function removes/changes the shop/blind UI? since they're in the same spot, at least visually

[daring fern]

This is how Cryptid the spectral does it ```lua
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
local _first_dissolve = nil
local new_cards = {}
for i = 1, self.ability.extra do
G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
local _card = copy_card(G.hand.highlighted[1], nil, nil, G.playing_card)
_card:add_to_deck()
G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
table.insert(G.playing_cards, _card)
G.hand:emplace(_card)
_card:start_materialize(nil, _first_dissolve)
_first_dissolve = true
new_cards[#new_cards+1] = _card
end
playing_card_joker_effects(new_cards)
return true
end
}))

[thin anchor]

complicated
wow

wait where is the spectral card code

[minor furnace]

card.lua

[thin anchor]

thanks

[daring fern]

I think I fixed this by copying the cryptid code.

[open aspen]

alright this code works for displaying my sticker

like so

but its really laggy

like 1 card is fine

if i use debug to dupe one of these stickered cards the lag pops off
