[midnight coyote]

oh well #NotMyProblem

the sticker’s effects appear on the description

just read that if ur so fuckin inclined

[gentle rain]

:/

[mint island]

Is there a channel for the Balatro plus mod?

[gentle rain]

in the modding forum? you could search yhere for it

[sonic cedar]

[primal shoal]

nah there not

[mint island]

Could I ask about an issue with the Balatro plus mod or is this not the right chat? I’m new to discord haha

[midnight coyote]

this is the modding dev chat, this is where we make stuff

you might be better off going to the balatro plus forum post

[primal shoal]

yeah here is the best place for it https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1321202386420764824

[midnight coyote]

which was linked already.

[mint island]

Oh ok gotcha. Thanks didn’t see it

[midnight coyote]

no problem! hope whatever issue you have is solved

also this is genuinely one of the most helpful modding discord sections i’ve seen lol

helps when people are actually active in here

[crisp coral]

omw posting misinformation

[hushed field]

hey welcome back Myst!

Putting one challenge on hold because I don't want to do the edits to the buttons UI with lovely injects

UI comes to bite me yet again

[crisp coral]

o/

well funnily enough

I've been here the whole time!

[wary skiff]

Is it possible to ban card ranks from showing up in challenges?

[hushed field]

yeah but you were on hiatus, no?

[uncut grail]

hey guys, is it possible to check if a joker has a certain sticker?

[uncut grail]

going nuts over this, checking for a while now 😭

[crisp coral]

not entirely, banning them entirely would affect stuff like strength, but you can have a modified starting deck without said rank

[crisp coral]

which sticker? most of them are in card.ability.[rental/perishable/etc.]

[uncut grail]

oh, thanks! that's pretty much all i needed

[crisp coral]

mhm

[uncut grail]

i actually happened to find those in the SC right as you typed this LOL

[midnight coyote]

i may make a ‘fire extinguisher joker’ that gives you $5 in exchange for leveling down the first discarded hand

is that balanced or no

[uncut grail]

what rarity is that?

[midnight coyote]

rare like burnt probably

[narrow iron]

as a common yea

[midnight coyote]

oh nvm

[uncut grail]

oh wow this is super not worth it

[midnight coyote]

what would be good for rare

$15?

[tall apex]

5 balatrillion dollar

[uncut grail]

is it BP/BS copyable?

[crisp coral]

do you need to downgrade to gain $?

[tall apex]

[midnight coyote]

it’s like reverse burnt

that’s the point

[crisp coral]

not what I'm asking

[midnight coyote]

in some situations you could

[uncut grail]

@midnight coyote

thats the most important part...

[midnight coyote]

yeah

i don’t see it being viable at all otherwise

[crisp coral]

still doesn't answer my question

[uncut grail]

still dunno, maybe if it's an uncommon

[warped marsh]

I think that’s balanced for an Uncommon, will it work if your hand is level 1 does it no work or does it work still?

[uncut grail]

kind of useless though

[midnight coyote]

fails at level 1

it just simply doesn’t do anything

[gentle rain]

unless you have a high card build thats kind of a strict benefit

[warped marsh]

Yeah that’s perfectly fine then imo

[uncut grail]

oh no nvm its totally useless

[crisp coral]

if it fails then uh

[warped marsh]

Rare is too much

[midnight coyote]

hmm

i wanna make this balanced

[crisp coral]

$5 is common

[warped marsh]

Your hand gets destroyed and burnt

[uncut grail]

but so are half of all jokers in balatro

so sure!

[warped marsh]

Bad take

[midnight coyote]

Fire extinguisher

burns your entire hand

seems legit

[tall apex]

Mfw joker

[warped marsh]

Well if you fail to use it

[tall apex]

[uncut grail]

average willy joker enjoyer

[midnight coyote]

this is a green joker household

[uncut grail]

tbh no yeah i think all jokers are amazing, im just going silly mode

[tall apex]

Oh I hate that joker tbh

[midnight coyote]

except for the discount card

[warped marsh]

Saying that Jokers are useless in a Roguelike is wild

[midnight coyote]

it’s a fun concept

but

[uncut grail]

bad take bad takebad take bad takebad take bad takebad take bad takebad take bad takebad take bad takebad take bad take

[midnight coyote]

it really is extremely conditional

[tall apex]

I like discarding :(

[uncut grail]

green jokers fans are coming for you, run!

[midnight coyote]

green joker + bandit?

[uncut grail]

burglar

[midnight coyote]

burglar right

[uncut grail]

dies

[midnight coyote]

i’m such a fake fan i should refund the game right now

[uncut grail]

how much hours?

[midnight coyote]

20

[uncut grail]

it's a lost cause...

[wary skiff]

Could I at least prevent ranks from showing up in the shop/packs then, or would I just have to deal with the unwanted ranks being present?

[uncut grail]

hard-coding my beloved

[midnight coyote]

i feel like this game is about to show up on my steam replay

as like my top game of the year

[wary skiff]

hardcoded, I see

[uncut grail]

i think. im still a fake fan

i need 300+

[midnight coyote]

add another 0 and we’re good

[uncut grail]

yet i have 309 in ultrakill, im such a fake fan

[midnight coyote]

it bewilders me how people can get like thousands of hours in a game

[uncut grail]

hanged man me

[uncut grail]

see, thats a true fan!

[midnight coyote]

my most played game has like 169 hours ;-;

[uncut grail]

not doc level though

[warped marsh]

I still haven’t beat the ante 4 help

[tall wharf]

i mean i guess

[midnight coyote]

mother of god

[uncut grail]

OMG SO TRUE

[crisp coral]

i have like 200 hours only

[wary skiff]

Very well, I'm not gonna ban the card packs, so I'll just have to deal with having ranks outside of 2-6 in packs then

[midnight coyote]

i’ll never know this since i compile it my own damn self

[uncut grail]

i have like 4000+ hours in gms2

[crisp coral]

nvm 231.8

cooked

[uncut grail]

everybody is a fake fan until they get at least a 1000 hours

[midnight coyote]

my most played is Fall Guys on steam

[uncut grail]

we shall all grind

[primal shoal]

-# 87.5....

[midnight coyote]

20 hours but i’ve had this game for a week

[uncut grail]

hanged man them

[wary skiff]

Long road ahead o7

[primal shoal]

i spent more time modding then playing lol

[midnight coyote]

i’m a real fan because i started modding a week in

[brazen tusk]

i use paint.net unless im animating 💀

[mint island]

Just to let you know I’m having issues with the mythical deck. It won’t spawn in sigil cards whenever I select a blind for some reason

[uncut grail]

man aseprite is so good

[midnight coyote]

[uncut grail]

btw, thoughts on the art?

[tall apex]

Wow.,, a whole box..!!

[midnight coyote]

good

[uncut grail]

i think that infinity probably looks weird

[tall wharf]

it's so good i am willing to pay for aseprite

[midnight coyote]

i’m not. i love free shit

[primal shoal]

sick

[uncut grail]

HAHA

WRONG

FAILED

no krita allowed

[midnight coyote]

krita supremacy

[brazen tusk]

not for pixel art!!

[midnight coyote]

I LOVE OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE

RAGGGHHHHHH

[uncut grail]

i love balatro

oh and yeah

[primal shoal]

i used csp then found kirta better for 8 bit

[midnight coyote]

aseprite is best though

although

[uncut grail]

is this balanced? dunno if people will actually be using infinity or not

[midnight coyote]

it took me so long to figure out how to export a sprite sheet at double size

they got me on the mf aseprite CLI 🙏

[uncut grail]

the card is only there for the cool ass stencil ankh runs

[narrow iron]

could someone help me with custom tags? how can i add them to the info queue of a card?

[stark geode]

Wait does anyone know how to do the soul thing

[midnight coyote]

also can i just make a symlink to a mods directory in my home dir

[maiden river]

you can get aseprite for free if you compile it from source

[uncut grail]

pretty sure

[midnight coyote]

like ln -s ~/BalatroMods ~/.local/steam/whatever

[uncut grail]

"C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Balatro\Mods"

or whatever your username is

[midnight coyote]

i use linux

[uncut grail]

oh welp

[midnight coyote]

what do you think i do

[uncut grail]

bye

[midnight coyote]

honestly rather lobotomize myself than code on windows 🙏

why

[maiden river]

I have to use windows at school

[uncut grail]

welcome to peak

[maiden river]

tbh I do most of my dev on windows but mainly becaue I'm also on a valorant team

[primal shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-mewing-mew-cat-mewing-mewing-tutorial-mewing-cat-gif-495067373805540650

[uncut grail]

it needs more lobotomy i think

[wary skiff]

I'll just say I mistook those for being vanilla

Which is about the highest praise I can give

[midnight coyote]

my ritual cards are gonna be like red

[midnight coyote]

i have a lobotomized joker in my mod if you care

it was a product of rage

[next timber]

ayyyyyy

[gaunt thistle]

did the joker start out that way orrr

[strong jacinth]

Yes, and I would use it.

[thin anchor]

added some color

[stark geode]

Can someone help me with the soul effect on a joker I'm making

[strong jacinth]

It feels a little bit vanilla too

[stark geode]

I have the atlas set up but the soul overlay won't appear

[midnight coyote]

i also have margaret thatcher joker

[midnight coyote]

those are awesome

[thin anchor]

let me see code

[next timber]

ty

[hardy viper]

sometimes i want to compile something on windows and the instructions are like

linux:
download files
open directory in terminal
run make

windows:
build libgsl
build libssl or something (forgot the name)
build libpng
write c standard library from scratch
install cmake
write cmakelists.txt yourself lazy bum
build it

[midnight coyote]

i got pissed off at the game for crashing so i lobotomized jimbo

[midnight coyote]

real

[tall apex]

Yummy radiation.,,,,

[midnight coyote]

that’s pretty much how aseprite is

you have to install visual studio (??????)

[tall apex]

Omg I have a joker with that cat :3

[maiden river]

oh I just used a github action lmao

[thin anchor]

uhhhh...rrr

[maiden river]

didn't even have to really think about it

[midnight coyote]

aseprite compiling is just like
clone git directory
download deps from package manager

make

[stark geode]

SMODS.Atlas{
    key = 'jokers',
    path = 'Jokers.png',
    px = 71,

    -- 2x is 144 by 190
}

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'Perk-O-lator',

    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Perk-O-lator',
        text = {

                    local card = create_card('Perkeo', G.jokers, nil,nil,nil,nil,'j_perkeo')
                    card:set_edition('e_negative', true)
                    card:add_to_deck()

                end
            }))
        end
    end
}

[maiden river]

I long for the day where I return to linux

[midnight coyote]

do it

[maiden river]

I'm going to get a new, lightweight laptop soon, so I'll probably install it on that

[thin anchor]

soul_pos has to be on a different line

[hushed field]

@modern kindle got some challenge code up on my dev branch (it's the one called sci_fi_dev because I thought I'd be better at using different environments for different features ❤️ )

[hardy viper]

https://github.com/TurningWheel/Barony/blob/master/INSTALL.md real life example of this

[midnight coyote]

is soul pos like that thing that the legendary jokers got going on where the joker is on a different layer than the card

[thin anchor]

yes

[midnight coyote]

i might do that for Crazy 8 since it’s a legendary

[primal shoal]

where in the code is that made a thing cause i want to edit it?

[maiden river]

this is actually comical 😭

[chrome widget]

Interestingly, a lot of my cards visual effects break specifically if the card has any edition but foil. Foil for some reason works for all of them, I assume because it's drawing transparent pixels rather than mixing and drawing an opaque pixel?

[midnight coyote]

mac instructions just being fucking missing seals the deal lmao

[tall apex]

Wait what does your car joker do

[stark geode]

lmao it worked

[thin anchor]

no idea yet

[midnight coyote]

crazy 8 does x4 mult and +88 chips for every 8 played

[tall apex]

Valid :3

[stark geode]

looks like i need to redo the art to be less bit crunched

[maiden river]

although I don't really know what laptop to get
I was considering a framework but people keep saying they flex a lot
I have a bad habit of pickup up laptops from the corner 😭

[uncut grail]

thank you!

[rugged pier]

how do you make a card "glass"

[tall apex]

put a sand card in the furnace joker

[rugged pier]

got a laugh out of me

[uncut grail]

thanks for the feedback!

[modern kindle]

Fantastic thank you my friend
I'll look at it shortly

[chrome widget]

Is there a way to edit the default balatro shaders?

[rugged pier]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before then
            local preservation = {}
            for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if v:is_preservation() then
                    preservation[#preservation+1] = v
                    v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_gold, nil, true)
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            v:juice_up()
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                end
            end
            if #preservation > 0 then
                return {
                    message = localize('k_gold'),
                    colour = G.C.MONEY,
                    card = self
                }
            end
        end
    end

[chrome widget]

I'm not sure the base shaders are stored in SMODS.Shader

[rugged pier]

is_preservation checks for if a card has a rank that exists within a table that i have created above

that part works

im not sure why "juice_up()" breaks the game since i copied that from base game code

[chrome widget]

It's breaking the game because the juice_up isn't being called from the function similar to midas mask

It's because the return block is passing in self to card instead of card

[rugged pier]

ahhh

so i wouldnt be able to use juice up here at all?

[chrome widget]

Not what I mean

[rugged pier]

i fixed this return to card instead of self

[chrome widget]

It should look like this:

   message = localize('k_gold'),
   colour = G.C.MONEY,
   card = card
}```

[frosty dock]

card = card is redundant

[rugged pier]

gotcha

[frosty dock]

you don't need it

[rugged pier]

oh? okay awesome

[thin anchor]

help me

[chrome widget]

you don't necessarily yeah, I just tend to specify the message card regardless

[fresh swallow]

I have been cooking. V1 of Balatro irl is within my grasp

[sonic cedar]

loc_vars = function (self, info_queue, card)
    local random_mult = {}
            for i = card.ability.extra.min, card.ability.extra.max do
                random_mult[#random_mult+1] = tostring(i)
            end
            local local_mult = ' '..(localize('k_mult'))..' '
            main_start = {
                {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = '  +',colour = G.C.MULT, scale = 0.32}},
                {n=G.UIT.O, config={object = DynaText({string = random_mult, colours = {G.C.RED},pop_in_rate = 9999999, silent = true, random_element = true, pop_delay = 0.5, scale = 0.32, min_cycle_time = 0})}},
                {n=G.UIT.O, config={object = DynaText({string = {
                    {string = 'rand()', colour = G.C.JOKER_GREY},{string = "#@"..(G.deck and G.deck.cards[1] and G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards].base.id or 11)..(G.deck and G.deck.cards[1] and G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards].base.suit:sub(1,1) or 'D'), colour = G.C.RED},
                    local_mult, local_mult, local_mult, local_mult, local_mult, local_mult, local_mult, local_mult, local_mult, local_mult, local_mult, local_mult, local_mult},
                colours = {G.C.UI.TEXT_DARK},pop_in_rate = 9999999, silent = true, random_element = true, pop_delay = 0.2011, scale = 0.32, min_cycle_time = 0})}},
            }

trying to get misprint's text thing to work, but for some reason it's just rendering as a blank box. should i be returning main_start? or maybe it's something with G.deck?

[rugged pier]

it works now, thank you!

[chrome widget]

Ah wait yes, Aure, do you know if it's currently possible to change the file path of the default shaders?

[rugged pier]

now i only need to figure out how to covert it to a glass card instead of gold card

[frosty dock]

I cna barely read this on mobile, but yes you should be returning main_start

[sonic cedar]

i knew i wasnt crazy
thanks john

[rugged pier]

is this possible?

[frosty dock]

I am not sure and I'm not at my PC to be able to check

[chrome widget]

Change 'G.P_CENTERS.m_gold' to 'G.P_CENTERS.m_glass'

[midnight coyote]

should i call my ‘average logan subplot’ joker the “Average Jimbo Subplot”

[rugged pier]

return {
message = localize('k_gold'),
colour = G.C.MONEY,
card = card
}
I assume i have to change it here as well

?

k_glass

G.C.GLASS

[chrome widget]

Afaik there's not a default message for glass cards like that

[sonic cedar]

will i still be leaving the localization text blank? or would i put a #1# in the text section?

[chrome widget]

You'll have to add one

[frosty dock]

I assume you can either define a SMODS.Shader with the same (raw) key or it's unsupported

[frosty dock]

you should still leave it blank

[rugged pier]

gotcha let me check

[sonic cedar]

ok cool it should work then

[chrome widget]

Hmm I guess I'll try this

[sonic cedar]

thanks 2 mr. smods

[chrome widget]

I can't take ownership of the default because afaik SMODS doesn't normally package the default shaders into it

[frosty dock]

else ask Eremel I guess

that sounds about right

[chrome widget]

Aight let's see

Oop, yep, seems to work!

And by work, I mean I broke it visually, but that means that I broke it

[frosty dock]

neat

[chrome widget]

Now I have to figure out how to rewrite all the default edition shaders to function like the foil shader does

Yay

[frosty dock]

sounds... fun

[maiden river]

hello john smods

[frosty dock]

hello raevyn

[sonic cedar]

so its still not showing up, do i just have to leave the whole thing blank? is there no way to add that dynamic bit ive been using?

[frosty dock]

no that should be fine

can I have the code as a screenshot?

[sonic cedar]

did i return it wrong, then?

[frosty dock]

oh I see

it needs to be outside of vars

[sonic cedar]

OH BECAUSE ITS A

[frosty dock]

return { main_start = {...}, vars = {} }

[sonic cedar]

cause its tables right

[frosty dock]

Just returning it as a variable won't cause the game to know what to do with it

[thin anchor]

horrible

[frosty dock]

it'd just stringify and insert it whenever it sees #1#

[sonic cedar]

im learninggggggg

[thin anchor]

how did you change your vsc font to the balatro font
i want that.

[primal shoal]

"liquidated"

[thin anchor]

ji,m,b.;/o

[gentle rain]

:3

[sonic cedar]

installed the font from game files and then added it to my vscode in settings

[maiden river]

nice!

glad you got it working

[thin anchor]

awesome

[primal shoal]

oh please have certain spectal have certain numbers

[gentle rain]

mostly working,,, couldnt get aces to work without it returning as 14, their id, lol

[sonic cedar]

so then like THIS (i tried "..." in case that's what you meant but i took it out after saying it's not allowed outside of a vararg function)

[gentle rain]

if you can get that to work be my guest but im done with this

[maiden river]

makes sense

[frosty dock]

I used ... as a placeholder for whatever you want to put inside 😭

[primal shoal]

I'll try

[gentle rain]

annotated already btw :]

[maiden river]

tbh I expected the ranks to be a table of numbers and not a string 😭

but if it works it works

[sonic cedar]

fixing 😭

[glad osprey]

JOKeR

[frosty dock]

rank IDs are numbers, but they're practically useless

[keen tiger]

call it "Agonized Joker"

[stark geode]

I made a blackjack program once, and originally all the cards were jus strings in lists

                    }))
                end
            end
        end
    end

Had a quick question about this joker. It works as intended converting all A,2,4,8 to glass before they are scored (if they are scoring)

If an Ace that is already glassed is played, does this joker "re-glass" that ace? hence resetting its probabilities of being destroyed?

[open aspen]

not sure but if u dont want that situation happening

just check if the card is glass

[rugged pier]

how do i check for this?

[primal shoal]

card:is_edition() == e_glass or something like that I'd have to check

[open aspen]

next(SMODS.get_enhancements(v)) should work (it will be nil if it has no enhancement but i that doesnt matter)

[open aspen]

editions != enhancements

[maiden river]

I mean in the config/loc_vars

[primal shoal]

i get the two mixed up

[rugged pier]

okok let me try

[open aspen]

samesies

dw

[vast lily]

same tbh

[open aspen]

no longer i get them mixed up

but thats after

conditioning

[vast lily]

i still cant get my joker sell value effect to work

can SMODS.find_card be used to find what deck is being used in the run?

[next timber]

trying to see if my mod's booster packs spawn naturally in the shop is hell

ayyy

it showed up

right as i sent

nice

[vast lily]

if next(SMODS.find_card("b_devildecks_scourge")) and self.ability.set == 'Joker' then
    self.sell_cost = -10
end

this is the conditional i currently have and it didnt work when i tested it

[hushed field]

just crank up the weight next time

[rugged pier]

for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if v:is_preservation() and not SMODS.has_enhancement(v, glass) then
                    v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_glass, nil, true)

[maiden river]

so true

[rugged pier]

this should work right

[maiden river]

just make sure you do it right or else you get the Curse of Jimbo

[next timber]

oh wait hang on yeah i need to figure out the weights properly

dont suppose anyone knows the vanilla weights off by heart

[vast lily]

i can check em rn

[next timber]

(or where the game stores them that would also be fine)

[hushed field]

search all for weight = and you'll get them right quick

[tall wharf]

omg

[hushed field]

they're defined in the giant centers list

[vast lily]

default rates are in game.lua starting at line 1900

[next timber]

i gotta start reading the base code in vscode

[vast lily]

dont know how anyone manages without doing that lol

[next timber]

right now i use vscode for mod code and np++ for dump/vanilla code

[hushed field]

put another challenge on hold because I don't wanna figure out where I should place the patch, oof

[maiden river]

I'm trying to cook up some challenges for my mod rn

it's tougher than you'd think

(challenge is "sacrifices")

[hushed field]

I can imagine yours currently has a bit less levers to pull. I've got a bunch, it's just based on how much tearing apart code I wanna do to get them to work, haha. I've got ~25 or so concepts, but some of them need a lot of patching to get them to work

Or I need to find clever solutions

[maiden river]

true

[hushed field]

How about a challenge in which playing cards don't score, so you're more reliant on your weapon?

[thin anchor]

i love my balala font

[maiden river]

true
I mean if they're all debuffed the weapon doesn't fire so 😭

[hushed field]

That's why they're not debuffed, they just don't score 😛

[maiden river]

oh true

[hushed field]

I've got a patch that could do that for ya

[maiden river]

[hushed field]

I have a Jurassic Park joker that multiplies all nominal values by 5 for cards, and that's easily expanded into weirder functionality, haha

I've got the romance reroll challenge, the jumpscare challenge and the rent-a-movie challenge that I'm putting on hold, and the next step is figuring out what the best way is to make it so movie jokers can spawn in specific forced orders

[next timber]

the scariest part of modding any game is wrapping your head around the creator's spaghetti code

[hushed field]

Can't blame thunk that he didn't make the button layout easily injectable 😛

[next timber]

i was modding windowkill and had to give up on the mod because the variable i needed to set was being hard set every single frame

[hushed field]

no sane hobbyist game dev would account for that, I reckon

[next timber]

lol fair

at this point if a mod friendlyness update was released it would probably do more harm breaking existing ones than good i reckon

[hushed field]

Some of the things I wanna do are definitely possible, they're just a bit problematic right now with me not fully understanding vanilla's code

[primal shoal]

"math.random"
poor peusdo random

[gentle rain]

yeah i tried pseudorandom and couldnt get it to work

again be my guest lmao

[next timber]

me when i try to pull a good Power Pack and the game gives me 2 copies of Toxigenesis

[hushed field]

pseudorandom'll mostly just make sure your random functionality keeps the run's seed in mind

I thought I had some clever solves for the metadata-related joker spawning, but I think I might just need to write a whole custom create_card function for it

[uncut grail]

by the way, balancing question:
do you guys think this should work if there are no jokers?

[next timber]

id say no

[uncut grail]

or not

[zealous glen]

No based on vanilla

[uncut grail]

fair

[rugged pier]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and not context.blueprint then
            for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if v:is_preservation() and SMODS.has_enhancement(v, m_glass) == false then
                    v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_glass, nil, true)
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            v:juice_up()
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                end
            end
        end
    end

I think this does not check for cards already glassed and recoverts it into glass thereby potentially resetting its probability of being destroyed. Can anyone check?

[manic rune]

and not SMODS.has_enhancement(v, "m_glass")

would probably be better

and also

m_glass should be a string, i just realized

[hushed field]

what's the goal there?

[rugged pier]

yeah? because when i accidentally put == true it worked

[manic rune]

...it does?

[rugged pier]

i want to convert all A,2,4,8 into glass before they are scored, but if they are already glassed then i dont want to "reconvert" them into glass

[rugged pier]

yeah for some weird reason

like opposite functionality, it just didnt glass any of it

let me retry with your code

[maiden river]

In my opinion, you shouldn't even be able to use it if there's no non-enternal jokers

[manic rune]

its an immolate-level balancing spectral card

[uncut grail]

yeah, implemented that! i think this should be fair

[uncut grail]

yeah, that was my thought process

[manic rune]

its actually really good imo, but not so unbalanced that it doesnt feel vanilla-ish

[hushed field]

so what does v:is_preservation in this case?

[manic rune]

first time heard of that tbh

[rugged pier]

checks for those numbers A,2,4,8, i have it stored as a separate table

like thunk did for face cards

and implemented is_face()

[hushed field]

aaaah okay

[rugged pier]

--Function to check if Aces, 2s, 4,s and 8s appear in played hand/discard
function Card:is_preservation(from_boss)
    if self.debuff and not from_boss then return end
    local id = self:get_id()
    if id == 14 or id == 2 or id == 4 or id == 8 then
        return true
    end
end

[hushed field]

the way glass cards are destroyed shouldn't be a problem there, btw

you can override a card's glass status anytime you like, it'll never reset it's destroy calculation

[rugged pier]

so i dont have to worry about resetting probabilities by "re-glassing"

[hushed field]

nope

[rugged pier]

ahhh

[uncut grail]

i have two more cool spectral card concepts, will elaborate later perhaps!
trying to balance them and make them vanilla-ish

[rugged pier]

i thought everytime it doesnt get destroyed, the probability "increases"

[manic rune]

smods fixed the blind

oh boy

:3

time for the 3 phases boss blind

[hushed field]

those are calculated right before it gets destroyed. Unless you yourself patch something in there, it won't ever be a worry. Unless SMODS changed something recently I'm not up to date on

[rugged pier]

this is awesome then

[manic rune]

...why would localthunk implement a pity system for breaking glass cards 😭

[uncut grail]

by the way, how do i add an eternal sticker on a joker?

[rugged pier]

lol idk

[rugged pier]

btw your implementation worked here, thank you!

[manic rune]

np! :D

[hushed field]

SMODS.Stickers['eternal']:apply(card, true) should work, just change card to your variable

[next timber]

can i get some balancing advice?
i have a card enhancement that gives x chips with a y% chance of destroying itself, both values increase after being triggered. what should i increase them by? currently its +10 chips and +5%

[uncut grail]

thank you!

[hushed field]

that sounds fine. I'd say, play with it and see what the feel is

[rugged pier]

what do you guys think of it balancing wise? cost is 6 and rarity is uncommon

[hushed field]

My guess is that it's incredibly strong, just because converting consistently to one of the strongest enhancements is very beneficial

[uncut grail]

so is this like... the longer it stays the higher the likelihood of it dying of a heart attack, but it gets stronger?

[next timber]

yeah

luckily to test the enhancement i have the Condemned Deck to help me out

[rugged pier]

can make it a chance of being converted to glass then hmm

like 1 in 4 chance

[uncut grail]

sure, sounds fine! perhaps you could have a spectral card that decreases the chance of destruction of held cards with this enchancement in hand?

[hushed field]

My personal take is to not balance cards you're not sure about before you've played with them

[next timber]

this. might not help actually. it also has a lot of asbestos cards which give insane mult early game

FREE POLY HANGING CHAD

[uncut grail]

could be a fun concept with perkeo, where you have a card with HUGE chips

[rugged pier]

i see

[next timber]

hey uhhhh is the text for the wheel supposed to just say "1 in 7 cards get"

[uncut grail]

saying this because with socks and buskins and shit this might get really bad real soon

like... empress level of bad

[hushed field]

I reckon there's better balances than adding a chance, because the chance will both make it 4 times weaker, but also chances aren't super fun, I find, unless they really pay off big

[uncut grail]

it's cool early-game but makes no sense as soon as you're past ante 2

[glad osprey]

how do i allow legendary jokers to show up in shop

[hushed field]

and a lot of glass cards is strong. 1/4 chance of a glass card is a lot less strong, in that sense

[rugged pier]

i see, how else could i balance it?

[hushed field]

I've got this implemented in Kino in a weird way. Do you want all legendaries to show up, or do you want just your own to do that?

[glad osprey]

all

[hushed field]

I think in that case, take control of the rarity and give it a chance to spawn, which I think should work? Or perhaps overwrite it with a custom rarity that's identical

[hushed field]

Perhaps the first card of that type that shows up

[rugged pier]

hmm actually might go with that

[hushed field]

or if you wanna use the chance aspect still, make it a cascading chance. 4/4, 2/4, 1/4, 0/4, 0/4

[glad osprey]

how do

[zealous glen]

@tall wharf do you know if Blinds can have variables now?

[tall wharf]

i just store everything i need in debuff lmaoo

[upbeat bronze]

hey, is there any sorta template mod for friends of jimbo packs?

[zealous glen]

debuff?

[zealous glen]

yes

[tall wharf]

Blind.debuff

[zealous glen]

I got that but how

[hushed field]

There is a take_ownership function that SMODS adds. The only thing that I'm not sure of if the game hardcodes a check to see if legendary is polled. But if you take ownership of it, you can just add a weight, that may work

[upbeat bronze]

where would i find that?

[rugged pier]

oh wait this is pretty cool i think

[rugged pier]

how would i word it in the ability though

[glad osprey]

idk what to ownership for that 😭

[zealous glen]

Example SMODS mods

[upbeat bronze]

tried it, wouldnt work

[hushed field]

the legendary rarity. Rarities are objects!

[tall wharf]

hand_per_hand what the fuck is that aikoyori

😭

[zealous glen]

what did you try

[upbeat bronze]

the example mod listed for deck skin packs

[zealous glen]

What was your issue?

[upbeat bronze]

either would crash, or wouldnt display any sprites

[zealous glen]

Have you played other mods?

[hushed field]

"4 in 4 chance to turn the first TYPE scored into Glass. Each following TYPE has half the chance" Something like that

[upbeat bronze]

yes they work fine, i currently got the rainworld and collabs reimagined packs installed

[gaunt thistle]

???

[rugged pier]

okay i like this idea best, going to stick with it, thank you!

[zealous glen]

can you show me your code then

[upbeat bronze]

i heard that steamodded is bugged with smods.deckskin

[tall wharf]

?????????????????????????????????????

maybe the font weight

[hushed field]

make sure to remind me when your mod is playable! I'll give it a shot then 😛

[upbeat bronze]

that might be it since i checked both collabs and rainworld and neither use deckskin if i remember right

[zealous glen]

It was bugged at the time the template was made, but the bug was fixed cocurrently with the template release

[gaunt thistle]

probably ahaha

[zealous glen]

Even though the template was made to avoid the bug

Anyways

[gaunt thistle]

I really like your color scheme

[zealous glen]

I have a DeckSkin working right now

[rugged pier]

I will! :)

[zealous glen]

So I don't think that's the issue

[upbeat bronze]

aint got it anymore, overwrote it with copying some of the collabs reimagined code

[tall wharf]

like

[upbeat bronze]

which does work but doesnt display the custom aces

[zealous glen]

what version of SMODS do you have

[upbeat bronze]

uhhh lemme check

[next timber]

why are my packs still showing "ERROR" as the text at the bottom above "Choose (x)"?

[gaunt thistle]

yeah mine doesn't look remotely similar

but that's just cleartype for you

[zealous glen]

hmmm

[zealous glen]

That's a few days old

I still don't think it'd have been an issue then

What texture did you make

[upbeat bronze]

cant show as its a private commission but its aces thru jacks

all suits

[zealous glen]

Aces through Jacks from above or below

Doesn't matter much but still

[upbeat bronze]

aces & face cards

if thats what u mean

[zealous glen]

What did you texture file look like

[chrome widget]

Initial tests are promising but confusing. Trying to make Polychrome genuinely transparent, but doing so results in more difference in extremes a lot of the time (All three joker in the top row are Polychrome in both images, but the editions were applied at different times and the images were taken at different times

[zealous glen]

The atlas

[upbeat bronze]

atm its laid out similar to collabs reimagineds

[zealous glen]

Idk what theirs look like

[upbeat bronze]

1 sec

[zealous glen]

I think for the template your file would look like a lot of empty space with the textures to the… right

[zealous glen]

so four rows, and 9 columns of empty space with JQKA on the right

[upbeat bronze]

theirs are just jack queen king for each suit separately

no number cards

[zealous glen]

Yeah because the use the collab not deck format

[upbeat bronze]

mine just adds ace to the right of king

ah

[zealous glen]

The template uses deck

You can't replace Aces with collab

There was a third option but I forget

[midnight coyote]

big things

[uncut grail]

something weird: for some reason when this spectral card is negative and used the game crashes. (there are 6 non-negative jokers near it)

    use = function(self)
        local bank = {}
        for i=1, #G.consumeables.cards do
            local card = G.consumeables.cards[i]
            if (not card.edition or (card.edition and not card.edition.negative)) then
                table.insert(bank, card) 
            end
        end

        local card = pseudorandom_element(bank, pseudoseed('exorcism'))
        card:set_edition({ negative = true }, true)
    end,

[zealous glen]

four actually: suits and ranks

I think one of those is new

[midnight coyote]

consumables is misspelt

?

[upbeat bronze]

yeah idrk what im doing, im an art guy not a code guy

[midnight coyote]

could that be it

[zealous glen]

no

[uncut grail]

well no, haha.

[upbeat bronze]

didnt expect getting it ingame would be as complicated as it is

[zealous glen]

consumeables is right

[midnight coyote]

oh what

[uncut grail]

thats how thunk spelled it

[midnight coyote]

oh

lmfao

[upbeat bronze]

caino 2.0

[uncut grail]

🔥

[zealous glen]

The template should work if you position the textures correctly in the file, the file name matches the name inputted in the template, the files are put in the correct folder, and the template if filled correctly

[upbeat bronze]

so basically just take the default 2 thru 10 textures and throw them onto the image files?

[zealous glen]

You don't need them, you just need empty space

If you remove the ranks 2 through 10 from the template

It will load the default textures

[upbeat bronze]

oh

thats cool

[zealous glen]

But the code still needs to know where in the texture to find the correct ranks

so the only

well

the best option is to have the full deck

with 9 empty columns

[upbeat bronze]

alright

[zealous glen]

basically they should be positioned like the default deck texture

[uncut grail]

wait, does the card removal from the consumable slot happen before or after use?

[zealous glen]

after

[uncut grail]

oh damn

how do i check if the card is not the card used?

would card!=self work?

[zealous glen]

do you have any specific complaints about how the template is laid out

I should ask @long urchin too I suppose

[upbeat bronze]

uhhh not that im aware of

[sonic cedar]

would this put them on the same line?

[next timber]

for concatenation in lua i believe you want "text".."text"

.. instead of +

i may be stupid tho

[zealous glen]

no space inside {}

[sonic cedar]

it might be .. actually

[sonic cedar]

come again

[upbeat bronze]

actually for the template mod, is the icon code used for anything?

[next timber]

after the comma

[upbeat bronze]

this part

[next timber]

in the formatting brackets

[sonic cedar]

huh oh no that works fine

[zealous glen]

it doesn't change the size

That text is normal-sized

[sonic cedar]

yeah i have it like that rn

im trying to fix the lines

cause misprint text style requires a blank set of quotations

but im trying to add onto it at the end with my dynamic text

[glad osprey]

where are they

[zealous glen]

If you want the text to be normal-sized you can remove the s control

[primal shoal]

got aces and peusdo random working

[thin anchor]

im gonna tinker with the size later, it's just there to remind me to do that

how would i do this the correct way? is there some way to get the index of the card that's getting used?

[wary skiff]

Alright, game's crashing when I open the restrictions section of this challenge, which I'm gonna assume means something's wrong with this particular chunk of code:

       restrictions = {
            banned_cards = {  
                {id = 'j_sock_and_buskin'},
                {id = 'j_hanging_chad'},
                {id = 'j_selzer'},
                {id = 'j_dusk}'}
            },
            banned_tags = {
            },
            banned_other = {
            }
        }

[primal shoal]

changed the altus for testing

[sonic cedar]

didnt work

[next timber]

damn

[primal shoal]

.. is the right concatention

[tall apex]

how do i define what's in a pool? :3

[sonic cedar]

yeah but

[tall apex]

im making a card pack and i wanna put jokers from vanilla in the pack but only certain ones

[zealous glen]

why are you doing this by the way

[primal shoal]

("".."text")

[sonic cedar]

ah

[zealous glen]

isn't a pool just a table

[hushed field]

You wanna make a pool you inject them into

[sonic cedar]

dynamic description

[zealous glen]

but why like this

[hushed field]

Oh NVM missed some context

[tall apex]

oh

huh wha :3

[hushed field]

But yeah, you can add existing items to pools quite easily

[zealous glen]

I've made dynamic descriptions before but not like this

[primal shoal]

what are you trying to do with the pool?

[zealous glen]

They're creating a new one

[tall apex]

perfect!!

[zealous glen]

but isn't a pool just a table

[tall apex]

how would i do that? :3

[hushed field]

It's a table that the create card function enjoys using

[zealous glen]

{}

[tall apex]

... i meant defining the items in the pool

[zealous glen]

Absolute Lua

[tall apex]

[gentle rain]

oh tysm!! yeah this is perf, im just gonna implement a message that plays whenever a valid rank is discarded thank youuu

[zealous glen]

you put them inside the table

[tall apex]

joey spotted

[hushed field]

I'm not at my pc rn, but kinogenres.lua on my git does this. They're technically not vanilla items, but they are items that are created before the pool is and then injected

[tall apex]

[zealous glen]

@sonic cedar this is how I've done dynamic UI before

[tall apex]

oh okie, vanilla or not i just need to know how to format putting an item into the pool

[zealous glen]

I think you might be able to do it with keys but maybe the pool functions expect objects

[tall apex]

or is it literally

[tall apex]

oh with keys would be nice :3

[hushed field]

You define a list and then inject it. I think I did it with a list of keys, then used SMODS.Jokers[key], but you'd be able to use G.P_CENTERS[key]

[zealous glen]

how to inject it

so far my only interaction with injection was hacking it to add sprites to the game

[hushed field]

https://github.com/icyethics/Kino/blob/main/Kinogenres.lua

[gentle rain]

howd you get pseudorandom to work? im like 90% sure i did the same as you and it always crashed on trigger

[midnight coyote]

what do we think of this design

[hushed field]

Inject, in the case of pools, is actually a built in function!

[sonic cedar]

cool shit
here's me

[primal shoal]

idk just copyed the example jokers

[gentle rain]

weird i did the same

[hushed field]

What's not workings on your end?

[gentle rain]

berry already fixed it lol

but ty

[hushed field]

Hahaha good to hear

[midnight coyote]

this look good?

[zealous glen]

I'm still not sure how you're doing it that needs a specific definition in the localization file

[gentle rain]

although i do remember the error said it was happening in common_events.lua with a pairs function

[zealous glen]

Ah so you created an Object

Instead of just creating a Pool

[gentle rain]

ahhhh the difference was i forgot to put a nil at the end

didnt know that was needed

[narrow iron]

what does group_key actually do for booster packs?

[hushed field]

I confused the two, but yeah. In most cases I think it's easier to do that

[sonic cedar]

well the ijigray thing is just a color value i have set, but the description goes like this

[hushed field]

Though atm I'm setting up a system to dynamically create pools based on arbitrary qualities, though I'm bumping my head quite a lot

[primal shoal]

"local index = pseudorandom_element(card.ability.extra.valid_cards, pseudoseed('phone'))" make sure both of these look like this pls forgot to change the other one

[gentle rain]

so it SHOULDNT have nil at the end?

[primal shoal]

thats for copy card

[gentle rain]

i figured as much

[tall apex]

so wait this is how you add stuff to packs?

[gentle rain]

i copied the perkeo one initially too

in that case im lost on how u made it work

[midnight coyote]

how do i get a consumable to generate a joker

[zealous glen]

I see; if you just want a simple text modification that probably works but for deeper modifications (like Misprint) I'd recommend main_end

[midnight coyote]

of a certain rarity and with a sticker

[primal shoal]

did you use "#other_joke_list_example" instead of "other_joke_list_example"

[sonic cedar]

so change the main_start's to main_end's?

[hushed field]

Rarities are pools, so you can create_card on "uncommon" instead of "joker"

[narrow iron]

specify the key when calling SMODS.create_card()?

[hushed field]

And then just set the sticker

[zealous glen]

No

With loc_vars

[tall apex]

. w.

[midnight coyote]

how would i do that

[zealous glen]

You can define a main_end in the return

[midnight coyote]

set the sticker i mean

[zealous glen]

The main_end are extra UI nodes appended to the end of your text description

[gentle rain]

not sure what you mean but i used this https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/d43316d97bc927f3de431dd84c0283d41e69761a/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua#L344

[sonic cedar]

so change my VARS (vars) to main_end

[zealous glen]

Ah, main_start is AFAIK the same thing as main_end

It just goes in the beginning

[narrow iron]

the last parameter is for setting stickers

[zealous glen]

But this didn't have main_start

[sonic cedar]

im gonna get you

[zealous glen]

Hey the other screenshot didn't have it

[sonic cedar]

true mb

[midnight coyote]

an array of sticker keys

meaning?

[zealous glen]

I still don't think "".."bla" is doing anything but *shrugs*

[narrow iron]

{'KEY', 'KEY'}

just strings of the keys

[midnight coyote]

oh so i would do like {'eternal'}

[narrow iron]

yes

[midnight coyote]

okay

[sonic cedar]

only one way to find out right

[tall apex]

i still cant figure this out idk how to get the cards i want in this pack . 3.

[rugged pier]

--Each played Ace, 2, 4, and 8 become Glass'ed before scoring

    rarity = 2,
    cost = 6,

    discovered = true,
    config = { extra = { odds = 4 } },
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Lady Mistborn',

        if context.before and not context.blueprint and (pseudorandom('scdrl_lady') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/card.ability.extra.odds) then
            for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if v:is_preservation() and not SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_glass') then
                    v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_glass, nil, true)
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            v:juice_up()
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                end

Hey everyone, I am trying to implement a 1 in 4 chance of converting a card into glass. Is this the right way to do it?

im not sure how psuedo random even works

i kind of copied it from bloodstone implementation

[narrow iron]

shoot i think thats for stake stickers

[midnight coyote]

wh

how would i do this

this how i do it

with the param setting

it feels wrong

[narrow iron]

SMODS.create_card('Joker', G.jokers, nil, etc)

[midnight coyote]

oh i use nil for empty params

[narrow iron]

yes

[midnight coyote]

oki

[narrow iron]

whether a joker is eternal is based off its card.ability.eternal variable, i dont think you can set it with the create_card() command

[midnight coyote]

so how do i set it

because its kind of part of the whole thing that the generated joker is eternal

[narrow iron]

Card:set_eternal(boolean)

[midnight coyote]

so this, besides the last array, is a perfectly valid and good command?

[narrow iron]

thats the only place i can find where you can set it

[hushed field]

Does the apply function not work for eternal?

[midnight coyote]

would card in this instance not be the card itself?

the ritual card i mean

[chrome widget]

Okay I've gottena decent solution to changing how the default editions look

It's not perfect, but it's close enough to not kill my visual effects

[next timber]

anyone know why this isnt working?

[narrow iron]

yes

[chrome widget]

Typically you need to specify name and text, and it needs to completely match the key it's being displayed for if this is for a UI box

[gleaming zealot]

girls

[rugged pier]

btw Ice, i decided to keep it as 1 in 4 chance for each card since cascading is kind of complicated to explain for game and makes it unattractive since users wont care for the complexity

[narrow iron]

you'd need to call it for the joker itself

[midnight coyote]

and how would i possibly do that

[chrome widget]

Big fan

[midnight coyote]

could i assign the create card to a variable?

for that specific scope and then just call it on the variable

[narrow iron]

yes i believe so, create_card() returns the card so that should work

[tall apex]

have you made a boosterpack yet? i need help ;w;

[midnight coyote]

im so smart

[chrome widget]

nope but I've done some stuff with boosters

What's the matter?

[rugged pier]

if context.before and not context.blueprint and (pseudorandom('scdrl_lady') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/card.ability.extra.odds) then
            for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if v:is_preservation() and not SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_glass') then

is this the right way to add probability to a joker? assumbing ive added odds = 4 in config

[narrow iron]

i just found out abt this command like 20 mintues ago lol

[midnight coyote]

MY PREVIOUS CODING KNOWLEDGE APPLIES HERE

[tall apex]

i just have no idea for the life of me how to get the cards i want the booster to make to.,,, make them

[narrow iron]

just coincidence that you needed it at the same time

[chrome widget]

What cards do you want it to make?

[midnight coyote]

Eternal Rare Joker

here's the card design btw :3

[tall apex]

just like, whatever its not gonna be anything specific just things i like :3

[midnight coyote]

oh that wasnt directed at me

[chrome widget]

Nope

[midnight coyote]

https://tenor.com/view/bubsy-explode-shatter-gif-24249692

[chrome widget]

I suppose the easiest way to do it is to temporarily set every card you don't want it to create as a banned card, and then you can use the create_card() function or the poll_rarity() function as normal, respecting the rarity weights of the remaining cards in the pool

[tall apex]

x-x;

[hushed field]

Is setting up a pool not working, Kawaii?

[tall apex]

not really, i have no idea how it works and what it wants for me to get that started

[chrome widget]

Also yeah you can set up a custom pool of cards to draw from as well

[tall apex]

idek where i'd make and put the pool

ik how to call for one but

[hushed field]

It's quite easy, don't worry. If you want I can guide you a bit once I'm done with dinner

[tall apex]

that'd be nice, the wiki isn't really explaining it

[hushed field]

I've set up a bunch for Kino's genre specific packs

[tall apex]

yeah its just confusing the hell out of me sorry .w.

[narrow iron]

i made a booster pack, and im not getting any errors, but its not showing up in the collection?

the file is being loaded

[uncut grail]

no clue why this is happening, it's driving me insane!
can somebody help if possible?

SMODS.Consumable{ -- Exorcism
    set = 'Spectral', atlas = 'bpp_tarots',
    key = 'exorcism',

    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Exorcism',

            'Turns a random',

[upbeat bronze]

ok strange, am i doing something wrong with my textures for my deck skin?

my textures are much blurrier than others when pixel smoothing is off

and some of my pixels have these strange thin outlines around them

[uncut grail]

maybe because atlas is misspelled as "atls"?

lol

[narrow iron]

check if the edition is nil before checking if the card is negative

if card.edition ~= nil then
  if (not card.edition or (card.edition and not card.edition.negative)) then```

when the edition is nil, card.edition.negative doesnt exist

[narrow iron]

no?

oh

that one

[midnight coyote]

how do i check if jokers are full

[uncut grail]

haha

[uncut grail]

as in? the joker slots?

[midnight coyote]

yeah

i need to define can_use for my ritual card but that is based on if you have a free slot or not

[tall wharf]

#G.jokers.cards >= G.jokers.config.card_limit

[midnight coyote]

thanks

[tall wharf]

?

[midnight coyote]

thats what i need

im p sure

also what ide do yall use

i use intellij with a lua plugin

[narrow iron]

vs code

[midnight coyote]

intellij ultimate actually

[uncut grail]

i use vsc......... help..

tbf though, vsc is cool

[narrow iron]

i code everything else in vsc so this worked out best

[midnight coyote]

i love my jetbrains

[uncut grail]

doesn't this just never result in a true, then?

like with both statements

[narrow iron]

still doesnt show up :/

ah fair

you just want to know when a card isnt negative right?

[uncut grail]

oh wait... why did you add the parentheses?

pretty sure it's just

SMODS.Booster{
...
}

[uncut grail]

that is indeed correct!

[midnight coyote]

'attempt to concatenate local '_type (a nil value)

hmm

i set a param in create card wrong

what is _type? is that related to set?

[narrow iron]

if card.edition ~= nil then
  if card.edition.negaive == false then
    [YOUR CODE]
else
    [YOUR CODE]

theres definitely a better way than typing the code twice but i cant come up with it

[primal shoal]

joker, spectral, base, tarrot etc

[midnight coyote]

yeah

is joker lowercase

[primal shoal]

no

[midnight coyote]

well what the fuck then

[uncut grail]

doesn't my code already do that?

[narrow iron]

oh, its worked for the other cards ive made, i'll go fix that tho

[primal shoal]

set = 'Joker',

[narrow iron]

it still checks every conditional even if one is false

[uncut grail]

that is what the 'or' is for

[narrow iron]

some languages stop as soon as one is false but lua doesnt

[midnight coyote]

invalid

[uncut grail]

wait OH wow i didn't know that

this might be the issue, i see

[narrow iron]

check all conditionals
check logical comparisons
get single bool

[narrow iron]

this is just based on my experience on it, i havent looked it up but thats what it seems to be

[midnight coyote]

doesnt run for the same reason

[narrow iron]

get rid of set =

[midnight coyote]

that wont work either

[narrow iron]

well its also not right

[midnight coyote]

dear lord

[brazen tusk]

yooo!!

[midnight coyote]

what did i do this time

[primal shoal]

            set = 'Joker',
            key = keys
        }```

[narrow iron]

SMODS.create_card('Joker', G.jokers, false, .96, false, false, 'fuck you balatro')

that should work

you can leave spots blank if they're all just nil

[midnight coyote]

SMODS.create_card or

[narrow iron]

yea

[midnight coyote]

also wouldnt it just assign false to the nil vals?

[narrow iron]

no i think

[midnight coyote]

instead of skipping over them?

im confused

[narrow iron]

you never set them

they stay defualt

[midnight coyote]

oh okay

[narrow iron]

whatever those defaults are

but probably just nil or false

both work here

[midnight coyote]

same crash

do you want the log

[narrow iron]

sure

[uncut grail]

killing myself, the ordering didn't help

[gentle rain]

just implemented messages too teehee

[uncut grail]

ok whatever will go back to this tommorow i guess

good night everybody

[narrow iron]

im not really sure tbh

[uncut grail]

or have a good rest of your day or something

[narrow iron]

gn, good luck

[tall apex]

wait thats so epic omg

[brazen tusk]

thats really cool!!

[uncut grail]

WOW this is amazing

[uncut grail]

thank you!

[midnight coyote]

any ideas?

[narrow iron]

this function is getting a nil value but idk how

i'll need to trace the path from create_card() to here

[midnight coyote]

hmm

[tall apex]

is this how you make a pool for packs? , w,

[narrow iron]

no, sorry abt that

[tall apex]

oh, just curious :3

[midnight coyote]

guh

[narrow iron]

this looks like what your looking for, i can help in a sec after im done with this other thing

[red flower]

that's not how this function works

[narrow iron]

i was just realizing that

[tall apex]

oh, sure

sorry i just heard some awful news

idk if im in the mood to code anymore

[sonic cedar]

how would this look in the G.C format?
like G.C.MULT, etc

[midnight coyote]

awe, whatever it is i hope it gets better

[sonic cedar]

so i can call it in a UI function

[tall apex]

it's not like that unfortunately

[midnight coyote]

ah

i see

[red flower]

you need to manually insert it there
like G.C.IjiGray = HEX(..)

[midnight coyote]

so how doi write this function

[red flower]

which

[midnight coyote]

create card

[tall apex]

this is exactly what i was looking for though thanks <3

[red flower]

it's on the wiki but what do you need to create specifically

[midnight coyote]

a rare joker, and then i need to immediately make it eternal

this is what i have as of now

[red flower]

SMODS.create_card({set= "Joker", rarity=1, stickers={"eternal"})

[sonic cedar]

double equal sign since it's going colour = all that though

[red flower]

I'm pretty sure

[primal shoal]

rarity = 3 thou

[narrow iron]

stickers is for stake stickers tho im pretty sure

[red flower]

is it? doesn't this one go 0 to 1 unlike the others

[midnight coyote]

it does

[narrow iron]

oh

[upbeat bronze]

what is this code used for in the example mod for deck skins? i cant seem to find the icon images anywhere visible ingame but the game crashes without this bit of code so im really confused? Should i make a custom icon for any deckskin mods or?

[normal crest]

Put rarity = "Rare"

[midnight coyote]

hey you forgot a curly bracket >:(

[red flower]

sorry phone bad

i trust srockw

[midnight coyote]

see me after class

[sonic cedar]

crashed

[midnight coyote]

WORKS

PERFECTLY

[red flower]

can i see the code

[narrow iron]

nice!

[sonic cedar]

i'm on misprint now, but since it doesnt do a traditional description im on something like this

[midnight coyote]

i did it again and got obelisk 😭

eternal obelisk is a fate worse than death

[normal crest]

I swear I sent a message that is now gone

[midnight coyote]

how do i make the animation of it burning up

[turbid maple]

CURSE OF OBELISK 𓀀 𓀁 𓀂 𓀃 𓀄 𓀅 𓀆 𓀇 𓀈 𓀉 𓀊 𓀋 𓀌 𓀍 𓀎 𓀏 𓀐 𓀑 𓀒 𓀓 𓀔 𓀕 𓀖 𓀗 𓀘 𓀙 𓀚 𓀛 𓀜 𓀝 𓀞 𓀟 𓀠 𓀡 𓀢 𓀣 𓀤 𓀥 𓀦 𓀧 𓀨 𓀩 𓀪 𓀫 𓀬 𓀭 𓀮 𓀯 𓀰 𓀱 𓀲 𓀳 𓀴 𓀵 𓀶 𓀷 𓀸 𓀹 𓀺 𓀻 𓀼 𓀽 𓀾 𓀿 𓁀 𓁁 𓁂 𓁃 𓁄 𓁅 𓁆 𓁇 𓁈 𓁉 𓁊 𓁋 𓁌 𓁍 𓁎 𓁏 𓁐 𓁑 𓀄 𓀅 𓀆

[red flower]

no, I meant you need to do G.C.whatever = HEX() somewhere before

[sonic cedar]

ohhhhh ok

[red flower]

to define it

[sonic cedar]

and then in colour i can jjust put Ijigray

[normal crest]

You can put "Rare", "Uncommon", "Common" or "Legendary" or any other modded rarities

[narrow iron]

ahh

[red flower]

it needs to be G.C.Ijigray

[normal crest]

I'm pretty sure that's mentioned in the wiki too, but if not it's definitely in the code

[narrow iron]

when people refer to "the wiki" do they mean the documantation on github or is there a wiki with modding info on it?

[sonic cedar]

yeah ofc but i dont need like quotes or anything since its a defined thing

[normal crest]

The github wiki

[red flower]

they mean the github

[primal shoal]

yeah the docs

[sonic cedar]

github wiki

[normal crest]

Lots of undocumented stuff tho

[narrow iron]

thx

[narrow iron]

fr

[red flower]

you can do it either way, that's just a lua thing

[sonic cedar]

oh real

[midnight coyote]

umm small problem

i have absolutely no fucking idea where i just spawned this joker

and it damn well is not in the joker slots

[red flower]

you need to use add_card instead of create_card if you don't want to emplace it manually

it takes the same arguments

[midnight coyote]

so just swap create for add

thats it

[red flower]

yeah

[narrow iron]

this booster pack isnt giving any errors, but it wont show up in game, any idea whats wrong? the file is being loaded

[midnight coyote]

o shit i rolled blueprint

lol

[sonic cedar]

still crashes (these have been on hover not on startup or anything) 😭
{n=G.UI.T, config={text = 'test', colour = G.C.IjiGray, scale = 0.32}},

[primal shoal]

is it your collection?

[narrow iron]

nope
