[modern kindle]

yet it crashes

[red flower]

so true

[modern kindle]

curious

[hoary moss]

Hello there, I have a question as I am trying to set up the balatro mod manager on Garuda Linux, it is an arch based distribution of Linux and I am going to send the entire backtrace text error. I got here from when I did the installation of the mod manager if anyone has installed the Balatro mod manager on any distribution of Linux. Any tips would be helpful. it is running and fully completely installed however, it is having issues. The main problem is that I have done everything to my knowledge on what to do. I’m binary divided all the way down to rebooting my PC through the terminal along with getting new bottles opened for the mod manager through many more forms of bottles this is just a part of the problems. I’m having on here with the mod manager for Linux.

[brazen tusk]

how would one specify unscored cards here

(not how ive done it)

[red flower]

you need to loop through full_hand and check which ones are not in scoring_hand

[tepid crow]

context.cardarea == 'unscored' might work?

[red flower]

or use the unscored optional

[open aspen]

why is this crashing my game 😭

it says this:

[tepid crow]

only know about that one because Aure called me an idiot when I suggested this last time someone asked

[red flower]

i know about it because i read the commits but i dont want to explain to people how to enable optional features 🙂

[tepid crow]

does the smods wiki not explain optional features?

[red flower]

if it does I don't know where

[tepid crow]

oh they in fact do not

[modern kindle]

yea the wiki isnt exactl;y the most up to date with the here and now as far as im concerned

[narrow iron]

i think this function is my problem but idk why it wouldnt be working

[tall apex]

good night balatro modders

[narrow iron]

it seems to return false when it shouldnt

[narrow iron]

gn

[red flower]

what does this do?

[narrow iron]

i use it to check if a card is in the table i give it, pool is the table, object is the card

[tepid crow]

the if ~= 0 check seems unnecessary btw

[red flower]

you need to either return true instead of changing return_value or break the loop there

[tepid crow]

and so does the whole return_value argument

[narrow iron]

if the length of pool is 0 then pool[1] is nil and caused a error

[tepid crow]

wait, lua does that?

[narrow iron]

i was getting an error there and that addition fixed it, so i assume so

[open aspen]

any idea why this is happening

[chrome widget]

Can you access the badge_colour from a mod as a property?

[open aspen]

why would it fail here when its calling the original method

[narrow iron]

so this instead?

[red flower]

yes but return false at the end as well

[tepid crow]

well yeah, but that doesn't impact your function's behavior

[narrow iron]

added the false return

[narrow iron]

true

[red flower]

wdym

[tepid crow]

try reducing the amount of lines here as example of the crash, there's a bit too many

[narrow iron]

it still works the exact same, so it wouldnt fix my issue

[red flower]

that's not true

[narrow iron]

returns the exact same values

[red flower]

return_value changed to false after the next loop

[open aspen]

here

[red flower]

it's different logic

[narrow iron]

no?

[tepid crow]

it didn't?

[narrow iron]

got set at the beginning, only changes to true when the if statement is true

[red flower]

let's say you have {1,2,3}
and you need to check for 2
return_value goes to false then true then false and returns false

[narrow iron]

return_value = false wasnt in the loop

it was before it

[red flower]

oh yeah i guess i misread

[tepid crow]

you forgot to pass self to the original func

[open aspen]

ah

like so?

[red flower]

ok so what's object

[narrow iron]

a card generated by create_card

[tepid crow]

similarly, what is is_in_pool for?

[red flower]

oh then its object.config.center.key

[narrow iron]

im gonna give more cotext for this functions use

i wrote this to generate the cards for my booster packs

[red flower]

mod.badge_colour

[narrow iron]

value_in_table does the same as is_in_pool but checks the values directly instead of the object.key

[red flower]

(you can find the mod with SMODS.find_mod)

[red flower]

yeah it should be object.config.center.key afaik

[narrow iron]

oh thats it?

well thats simple

[red flower]

well idk if thats it there might be more problems

[narrow iron]

do local functions exist? and if so should i make this one of those?

its only used in this file

[red flower]

if you plan to only call it in that file then yes

[narrow iron]

yep, did that

is this a bad implementation for what im doing?

[red flower]

what most mods do as well is create their own global table and add their utility functions there

but local functions are fine

I don't recommend globals because they can cause conflicts

[narrow iron]

i may do that

its not in an infinite loop anymore! :D

[red flower]

that one is probably a wrong call to create_card

I'd recommend using the smods one because it's less confusing

[narrow iron]

i keep meaning to use the smods one but i forget sometimes

same error

this is the line that caused it

[open aspen]

ugh

i cant make sense of the drawing code

to fix it so scaling works from top left and not the center

[red flower]

what's the code now

[narrow iron]

the stuff i wrote?

[red flower]

yeah

[red flower]

the smods one takes a table with keys

[narrow iron]

ohhh

[red flower]

so SMODS.create_card({set="TerraPotion"})

and area=G.pack_cards i guess too

[narrow iron]

is there a way i can get the default card i set for my TerraPotion class?

instead of just writing it in

[red flower]

it's probably stored somewhere but I couldn't tell you where rn

[narrow iron]

okay

got the same error :/

[red flower]

can i see it again

[midnight coyote]

RAGGHHH

[narrow iron]

nice art

[midnight coyote]

its a ritual card

'Juxtaposition'

[red flower]

that looks correct, are you sure the consumabletype is loaded?

[narrow iron]

yes

potion has the consumabletype, booster has the function im working on

oh wait this was a different spot i think

this error is at function copy_card()

[heady siren]

How do I get jokers to not crash my game when trying to access a context inside the update function?

[red flower]

don't access a context in the update function?

[narrow iron]

wait nvm, thats in the base game without the lovely injection

[heady siren]

Do copy cards not even acknowledge the update function?

[midnight coyote]

can i make a card where its 50% for one outcome and 50% for the other but its one or the other

[narrow iron]

yea just use "if else"?

[open aspen]

I DID IT

[midnight coyote]

but one outcome is guaranteed to happen, like a coinflip

[open aspen]

IM THE BEST

FUCK YEA

[midnight coyote]

like no matter what something happens

[red flower]

like blueprint? no

[narrow iron]

  outcome 1
else
  outcome 2
end

[midnight coyote]

oh that’s easy enough lol

[rugged pier]

What context would you use for a joker that randomly copies the abilities of one other joker that a player owns?

when blind is selected

[narrow iron]

stencil only run

[narrow iron]

i think i figured it out and istg if it was this simple of a fix

[rugged pier]

stencil, invis joker, ankh, and this new joker

[midnight coyote]

i might make ‘cursed’ cards that destroy after they’re played 3 times

[narrow iron]

nope

[midnight coyote]

or if the player attempts to change them back

[narrow iron]

thats an interesting idea

whats the upside?

[midnight coyote]

no upside

[narrow iron]

then why make them

[midnight coyote]

it’s a bad effect of a ritual card

[slow crater]

Does anyone know what the problem might be?

[midnight coyote]

it’s designed to be awful

[narrow iron]

well whats the good effect of that ritual card?

if i have no reason to use it why use it?

[midnight coyote]

maybe +1 joker slot

or something like that

[narrow iron]

yea thats worth it

[midnight coyote]

in exchange for your entire hand becoming cursed

[narrow iron]

op

[midnight coyote]

if played right it could assist in deck thinning

[narrow iron]

that too

[midnight coyote]

like baiting it into making all the cards you don’t want disintegrate

[narrow iron]

this is the error im currently getting, any idea why?

[midnight coyote]

boss blind that makes all cards held in hand at the end of the hand cursed

would that be regular boss blind level or showdown level

because once a card is cursed it’s pretty much fucked

and isn’t an empty deck a lose condition

[narrow iron]

yep

[midnight coyote]

so yeah

maybe showdown? i’m not sure

or makes every card that exists on the field cursed

if i wanted to make it into a showdown

so it encourages you to hurry up and play big numbers

[stark geode]

i basically did a stencil only run once

double neg brainstorm into stencil

[midnight coyote]

i may add a slot machine joker

1 in 777 chance to win $777

every hand

[stark geode]

im pretty sure balatro multiplayer has one

[midnight coyote]

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

[narrow iron]

please 🙏

[midnight coyote]

oh i got this

can i see your code

what are you trying to do?

something like this worked for me

you were there when we solved the problem 😭

[narrow iron]

weirdly thats actually not my issue

i thought it was

[midnight coyote]

use add card?

try add card

[narrow iron]

but its getting past that function

[midnight coyote]

oh hm

[narrow iron]

its returning the table

[midnight coyote]

idk then sorry

[narrow iron]

same lol

[stark geode]

or somthing like this

local card = create_card('Perkeo', G.jokers, nil,nil,nil,nil,'j_perkeo')

idk what youre doing

this is just how i make perkeos

[narrow iron]

i managed to fix the error with create_card that i was getting

[red flower]

SMODS.create_card{key="j_perkeo"} is nicer

[red flower]

are you sure c_terrapot_builder exists

[stark geode]

well i need to make it neagtive too

[red flower]

SMODS.create_card{key="j_perkeo", edition="e_negative"}

[narrow iron]

yes, it appears in that error?

oh

[red flower]

yes

[narrow iron]

its one of the cards that can be generated in this pack

[brazen tusk]

this is saying juice up is returning nil, not sure how to fix that here

[red flower]

remove card = self (you don't need to return card and self is a center, not a card)

[red flower]

what's the code for the booster?

[brazen tusk]

ty

[red flower]

get_potion_booster_cards returns a table with the cards right?

[narrow iron]

yep

[red flower]

that doesn't work there

you need to return a single card

[narrow iron]

wait what

does it call it once per card?

instead of once for all cards

[red flower]

yes

[narrow iron]

ah

[red flower]

there's an argument i to check where in the loop it is

[edgy reef]

yea

[azure pilot]

What determines if you can hook a function? It looks like I can hook end_round, but not start_run

[narrow iron]

that fixed it thank you

[red flower]

you can hook most functions but some might be called before the mod is loaded
you can hook start_run I'm sure

[narrow iron]

how do i delete cards?

[red flower]

depends on the type of deletion but card:start_dissolve() is fine in most cases

[azure pilot]

When I try it crashes when the mod is loading, and the intellisense wants a parentheses after start_run to call the function, but that doesn't happen for end_round

[narrow iron]

i just need to remove the cards that dont end up in the card pack after being checked

[red flower]

you can do card:remove() too

[red flower]

well the start_run one might have a syntax error?

[midnight coyote]

i was thinking about ‘unstable’ cards that have a 1 in 16 chance to destroy themselves and all cards adjacent to them, 4x mult

this is gros michel 1 in 16 btw so more like 1 in 2

[open aspen]

i feel like this is only upsides depending on how you play it

not that thats a bad thing

[midnight coyote]

it was originally 1 in 50 to destroy every card that it shares a rank with

[open aspen]

oh

that is incredibly good

[midnight coyote]

or incredibly bad

depending on what happens in the run

[open aspen]

i suppose

[midnight coyote]

if you are purposefully deck thinning it’s great

if you are playing off of one rank

[open aspen]

i mean

[midnight coyote]

and then that rank fucking kills itself

[open aspen]

like i would say

[midnight coyote]

1 in 50 is rolled on play AND discard

[open aspen]

its not really that bad

cause u can control what u have it on

[midnight coyote]

it’s rolled any time the card is scored

[open aspen]

and even if u somehow got it randomly

[midnight coyote]

i never said that.

[open aspen]

u can hanged man it

[midnight coyote]

boss blind that makes some cards unstable

just randomly

[open aspen]

dont play em if u dont have to

i think

thats a good way of making it harder

tho

i actually like that a lot

[midnight coyote]

ah ah ah you see it’s checked on discard. held in hand effects. and when played

[open aspen]

the blind scaling is higher

[open aspen]

oh boy

yea

that can be tough

[midnight coyote]

baron builds will die 😭

[open aspen]

yes

unless they got reroll

[midnight coyote]

unless

right

[open aspen]

i mean

if ur going endgame baron

[midnight coyote]

baron mains watching another boss blind counter their strat

[open aspen]

u were probably going to die eventually if u never got reroll anyways

because plant

[midnight coyote]

there’s also curses that destroy themself after being played thrice o

[open aspen]

i like this

[midnight coyote]

or if the enhancement is changed

[open aspen]

because it could fuck you up if u got only reroll and not retcon

reroll plant into this boss

and then hit the 1/50

[midnight coyote]

go from The Wasteland to the Plant

[open aspen]

yea

[midnight coyote]

then faces don’t work anymore

[open aspen]

either way

its bad

probbaly less bad if u roll plant to this

[midnight coyote]

it’s fun making card enhancements that hurt

[open aspen]

but still bad

[open aspen]

im making the opposite

[midnight coyote]

or ‘enhancements’

[open aspen]

stickers that are very helpful and nice

[midnight coyote]

i have one enhancement that’s good called ‘galactical’

it’s a 1 in 20 chance to upgrade hand when played

like space joker

and ofc it applies right with 6s

[open aspen]

a lot of oa6 is needed

[midnight coyote]

it’s like luckies p much

but there’s a joker that like midas mask but for galactical

the Alien Joker

so they’re easy to stock up on

[open aspen]

ah

very nice

[midnight coyote]

i have a really nice mod cooking up

i also have a Bomb Joker that does what unstable cards do but for jokers

higher xMult

but it blows up itself and jokers around it if you get unlucky

making blueprinting it really risky

[open aspen]

im adding a bomb sticker too :)

[midnight coyote]

the bomb joker with bomb sticker

i think for my Ritual cards

[open aspen]

its for playing cards only tho

[midnight coyote]

the tag to get a mega pack is gonna be the ‘pentagram tag’

[narrow iron]

im getting another error :/
somehow smods.create_card is getting a nil value

[azure pilot]

I think I figured it out, you have to use Game.start_run, not Game:start_run?

[midnight coyote]

here’s one of the Rituals btw

it destroys a random joker and grants 2 random Ritual Cards

[red flower]

I'd need to see the code

[midnight coyote]

here is juxtaposition

[open aspen]

yes

[midnight coyote]

50% shot to dupe a joker

[open aspen]

u do

[midnight coyote]

50% shot to destroy it

[open aspen]

if ur hooking

: implies there is a self object being passed as the first variable

[midnight coyote]

ah yes

luaisms

[open aspen]

as another note, if ur hook returns the original function you need to return self as the first argument before the other arguments

[midnight coyote]

also there’s Blood Pact that makes a eternal rare joker

[azure pilot]

And you have to add self when you call the original function from in the hook function

As I just found out lol

[stray warren]

how do you access the key of a specific Joker in the calculate function? Like this value in particular without the mod prefix or j_

I forgor

[midnight coyote]

added my mod to my nickname like it seems everyone here does

[narrow iron]

nvm im dum

crap its still there

[red flower]

isn't it like card.config.center.original_key

[stray warren]

Bingo, that's it. Thanks

[open aspen]

yes

[midnight coyote]

my phone ain’t charging desperate times call for desperate measures

[gilded narwhal]

are these balanced for legendaries (art not by me)

[errant fulcrum]

Can't speak on the last one because I've never played with exponents but yea

[gilded narwhal]

30^1.5 = 164.3
100^1.5 = 1000
500^1.5 = 11,180

its a LITTLE powerful

[errant fulcrum]

Yea that one may be a little unbalanced relative to vanilla

[midnight coyote]

my phone started charging

[narrow iron]

i love when the documentation lies :D /bout to crash out

well

hmmm

maybe not

15 minutes on a single typo

[gilded narwhal]

okay
30^1.3 = 83, around 2.5X
300^1.3, = 1660, around 5X
1000^1.3 = 7943, around 8X

[midnight coyote]

Fix it

i low key might write some more documentation

or try to

it’s open source

if i can’t put it in main then ill make it elsewhere

[rugged pier]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then    
            for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_lucky') then
                    return {
                        mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
                        dollars = card.ability.extra.gold,
                        v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.c_base, nil, true)
                    }
                end
            end
        end
    end

I am trying to create a function that checks if a card is lucky, if it is, it gives both 20 mult and 20 dollars but removes enhancement.

The current implementation removes the enhancement first before giving the bonus mult and gold, is there a way to reverse the order?

[red flower]

yes, use an event

also you don't need to return the set_ability call, it does nothing

[rugged pier]

ah okay

[rugged pier]

how does one go about doing this 😅

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager

[azure pilot]

lol, would it be feasible to limit the suit pool to just 3 suits?

[rugged pier]

thank you!

[red flower]

here's an example from my mod https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/9731a0a2f148d9b872b1160aae8051422d867fc9/src/jokers/12Labrynth.lua#L44

[rugged pier]

thank you :)

[daring fern]

Is there a way to make negative have no extra cost?

[midnight coyote]

wouldn’t an event let you delay the effect you want later

[narrow iron]

so i have this consumable and a few others that all should be added to the 'HealingPotion' pool but G.P_CENTER_POOLS['HealingPotion'] is blank

[midnight coyote]

if i’m not wrong

[rugged pier]

that would be done though time right, i want it to be dynamic

[heady siren]

Is it possible to make an enhanced card do something from inside the deck? When I do context.end_of_round it doesn't run anything for deck cards

[rugged pier]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then    
            for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_lucky') then
                    return {
                        mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
                        dollars = card.ability.extra.gold,
                    },
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            if v.ability.name == 'Glass Card' then 
                                v:shatter()
                            else
                                v:start_dissolve(nil)
                            end
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                end
            end
        end
    end

My current implementation, the lucky card immediately gets destroyed and the +20 mult, +20 gold happens over empty space...

I suppose, I just have to time it takes for a card to score and add a delay accordingly?

[heady siren]

To do something similar for my own thing I just made it do it on the final_scoring_step, and it iterates through G.play.cards to find the cards

Might not be the exact order you want, but that worked for me

[rugged pier]

thats a great idea actually incase i want to keep the card till all the scoring is done then i can destroy it

[dense adder]

is there a way to multiply chips?

[rugged pier]

there probably is a way to fetch the current chips, then you can just modify it with your multiplier

joke answer: yes, it is called mult

[dense adder]

fair.

[daring fern]

There is also xchips.

[dense adder]

let me try that again it was adding last i used xchips

[rugged pier]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then    
            for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_lucky') then
                    return {
                        mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
                        dollars = card.ability.extra.gold,
                    }
                end
            end
        end
        if context.final_scoring_step then
            for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_lucky') then
                    if v.ability.name == 'Glass Card' then 
                        v:shatter()
                    else
                        v:start_dissolve(nil)
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end

It is being destroyed immediately here

[dense adder]

thanks, thought i was up a creek, its now working

[rugged pier]

before scoring

[noble schooner]

wait a minute...

[rugged pier]

and the scoring happens after the destruction animation lol

[noble schooner]

I just realized something

[heady siren]

Needs to be inside of an event

[noble schooner]

can't you make double resolution sprites and have pixel smoothing be a toggle between regular 71x95 and enhanced 142x190 sprites? :O

[heady siren]

Technically the final scoring step happens at the start of scoring, but it waits until events or returns to actually do anything

[noble schooner]

so it's like 2 texture packs in 1

[celest aspen]

anyone know the code to have a joker destroy specific scored cards? I have a joker that I want to score cards, and then destroy them. I tried

        if v:is_suit("Hearts") or v:is_suit("Diamonds") then
          v:start_dissolve()
        end
      end```

but it destroys the cards at the beginning of scoring

[rugged pier]

would be at the same indentation as the if context.individual? or one step further?

[heady siren]

Inside context.individual

[rugged pier]

okay let me try

[heady siren]

Dissolve =/= deleting, use the context.destroy_cards, this is my code for making it work

            if card.ability.extra.joker_triggers == 0 then

                for k,v in pairs(G.play.cards) do

    end

I did this but it just discards without destroying the card

[heady siren]

Put joker_triggers = 0 in the extra config, and set card.ability.extra.joker_triggers back to zero in final_scoring_step

[heady siren]

What I just said to the other person is actually exactly how you should structure it

[rose dragon]

making a joker only for this pun (ignore how the joker color is incorrect)

[noble schooner]

HOLY SHIT YOU CAN

someone should make a texture pack for this ngl

[daring fern]

Is there a way to change the colour of xmult on playing cards instead of just being red?

[rose dragon]

in your return table, write this instead:

{
Xmult_mod = [XMULT],
message = "X"..[XMULT],
colour = G.C.[COLOUR]
}

reminder to change [XMULT] and [COLOUR]

[rugged pier]

how?

[daring fern]

No, on playing cards it's always red.

[noble schooner]

because the atlas for the 2x jokers, as an example, is at 142x190

and the game doesn't look for if they're the exact same sprites

it just looks for if they're the same file name

so if pixel smoothing's on, you can use the 2x textures as actual double-resolution textures

[celest aspen]

If I already have an if statement in my calculate function doing scoring, should I add this into it or add it after? for reference my calculate function is:

            return {
                x_mult = self.config.extra.xmult,
                message = 'X' .. self.config.extra.xmult,
                colour = G.C.MULT,  
                   
            }
        end```

[rugged pier]

so in the SMOD.Atlas youd just change the size to 142x190? based on the pixel smoothing option?

[noble schooner]

nono

it's still 71x95 in the code

[rugged pier]

the game automatically switches the atlas?

[noble schooner]

yeah

[rugged pier]

oh sick

[noble schooner]

it'll automatically switch to the 142x190 textures if you turn on pixel smoothing

so it turns the pixel smoothing toggle to a texture resolution toggle

which is already what it is, ppl just haven't realized that yet ig lol

this is HUGE for the modding and texture pack communities!!!!!

[rugged pier]

imagine adding in easter eggs for if you have it on vs off

lol

[noble schooner]

yeah lol

I honestly might make a texture pack that's just an enhanced version of the regular textures for pixel smoothing

[rugged pier]

anyway back to my broken code

[noble schooner]

(andalsothatmakesbrainstormlookleftbcwhythefuckdoesitnot)

[rugged pier]

wait i never noticed this lol

[noble schooner]

yeah like

blueprint looks right

why doesn't brainstorm look left

smh

[daring fern]

This is my code. It's still shows as red.

[heady siren]

You need to put it in a separate condition

[chrome widget]

Does SMODS automatically create a pool for a new consumable type when you use SMODS.ConsumableType to create one?

[narrow iron]

yes

[chrome widget]

Great

[heady siren]

How the hell do I make an enhanced card just give mult, this doesn't work

[forest ivy]

medium rare 💔

[daring fern]

I'm pretty sure if you just define mult in the config it automatically does that.

[heady siren]

I did, it didn't work

Wait

In the config itself, not extra

[heady siren]

Also, gonna bump this

[daring fern]

What are you wanting it to do?

[heady siren]

Spread it's enhancement to cards in the deck of the same suit or the same rank

It works when held in hand, but not if there's none left in the hand

[rugged pier]

wait this is a cool idea

there is so much potential there

i may or may not steal that idea for something i want to implement in the future

[daring fern]

What if you hooked calculate and checked for cards with the enhancement, get their suit and rank and look for any cards that share that suit and rank and give them the enhancement?

[rugged pier]

could you have a table of all the cards in the deck and enhance them by index?

[heady siren]

The problem isn't actually doing that, it's that it doesn't do anything if there's no cards left in hand, as in, it doesn't consider itself to be in any context unless its outside of the deck

This is my current code, and it only runs if the card is held in hand

[daring fern]

Are you hooking calculate?

[heady siren]

It is inside calculate yes

I've made 11 jokers so far I hope I'd at least know to do that

[forest ivy]

gang, slide some mods that are adding some new stakes

[daring fern]

Does it look like this at the top?

[heady siren]

Okay so apparently I'm not hooking calculate

I'm just using the normal calculate function

[daring fern]

You need to do something like this.

[heady siren]

Outside of any objects?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[heady siren]

And I'm guessing slap a if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_aether_flesh') then card = v inside?

[daring fern]

I think so.

I think you also need to change every thing inside the calculate hook to be self instead of card.

[heady siren]

Would this work?

Jokers are not triggering at all now

Wait, it's because I didn't add the args

[daring fern]

I think it should work.

[heady siren]

It's not doing anything

I'm doing enhancements

Should it be in calculate_joker?

[daring fern]

Calculate_joker triggers whenever a context happens.

I think.

You need to change self.ability.extra.infect_odds to G.P_CENTERS.m_aether_flesh.config.extra.infect_odds

[heady siren]

They still aren't doing anything

[heady siren]

This is the code

[daring fern]

Is it working?

[heady siren]

.

[daring fern]

Oh.

[heady siren]

This is also for some reason isn't getting a tally of the cards in your deck

[brazen tusk]

does anyone know how i can set jackpot to card.ability.extra_value only when it hits the return rather than being constantly updated?

[daring fern]

You need to hook update to check constantly.

[heady siren]

This is in a joker, not an enhancement

So it should be running at all times that the joker is on-screen

[daring fern]

Try G.playing_cards instead of G.deck.cards

[heady siren]

It's also not getting a tally of how many jokers of the same type you have

[daring fern]

You're setting infected_cards to infected_jokers + 1

[heady siren]

I... am not very smart

[lethal ridge]

Can anyone explain
context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring?

I dont really understand

[daring fern]

context.cardarea == G.play checks if the card is in the scored hand.

[heady siren]

It will run when the main scoring logic is happening, and it'll do stuff to the cards you're playing

[lethal ridge]

So if i play 5 cards and only 3 cards score the context will trigger for only the 3 cards?

[daring fern]

My mistake I meant played cards.

[lethal ridge]

So context cardarea == g.play will trigger when cards is played regardless of being scored or not?

[daring fern]

I tried it and it only works with scored cards.

But it still includes unscored cards.

[lethal ridge]

I should try too

[solar eagle]

with the new smods beta release, bettercalc 2.3 apparently allows context.ignore_debuff to allow debuffed cards to score in a context - is this a context i check for or is it a value i set? i can't figure it out

my goal is to score an effect on debuffed cards and only debuffed cards

[lethal ridge]

Same

[manic rune]

how doooo i get the big text on the screen like blinds have

[daring fern]

I found this in plasma deck and it does a similar thing ```lua
attention_text({
scale = 1.4, text = text, hold = 2, align = 'cm', offset = {x = 0,y = -2.7},major = G.play
})

There is also this ```lua
if G.GAME.blind and G.boss_throw_hand and self.STATE == self.STATES.SELECTING_HAND then
if not self.boss_warning_text then

Hi, just wondering if anyone would be able to help. I'm making a joker that draws all Spades to hand on the first hand, and I've been trying for about a week now and just can't get it right. I could be going about this wrong, but because the draw_card function will just draw a random card if it's not in the deck, I'm checking if the deck contains any of the spade cards and then drawing the correct one to hand. However, it's not detecting them in the deck when I check. Would anyone know how to fix this?

[manic rune]

ooo, thanks!

[brazen tusk]

best way i can think to do that would be a for loop checking the deck for spades then draw anything it gets as a result, not to sure exactly how to do that though sorry

[fading geyser]

yeah, that's what I'm trying to do, and I started by testing if it could detect a 2 of Spades and it couldn't

[sturdy compass]

G.deck.cards

Try that

[fading geyser]

I did

i then deleted it to see if G.deck would work, but no

I've tried just having S_2 instead of G.P_CARDS.S_2 as well

[brazen tusk]

gimme a sec to try and cook

I've been looking pretty heavily through the game files, and talked with a friend of mine who's an expert in lua, and we couldn't figure it out

i might be tweaking with this but give it a go

G.deck.cards[i]:is_suit('Spades') then
draw_from_deck_to_hand

¯_(ツ)_/¯

oh wait

[fading geyser]

what's wrong

wait I think i know

say i = 3 and the third card is spades, it draws that card and removes it, changing the list and the order, throwing things off

[lavish lake]

Guys does anybody know how to make a consumable level up most played hand in a run 2 times?

[fading geyser]

run it twice?

idk how leveling up hands works sorry

[brazen tusk]

might be able to tell it to keep looping until thee are no more spades?

[fading geyser]

would this work? If I define a variable as n...

for i = 1, #G.deck.cards do
G.deck.cards[i]:is_suit('Spades') then
n = n + 1

and then I repeat drawing cards per n

[sturdy compass]

If you wanna be even more funny, you could do a for in loop

But yes that implementation should work

[fading geyser]

okay I'll give it a go

[lavish lake]

Anybody?

[brazen tusk]

i'll try look into it

[fading geyser]

how do I tell it to draw a card with suit spades?

as opposed to the whole card key?

[brazen tusk]

it should draw the card its currently on in the loop as far as i know

[fading geyser]

I'm doing it in a separate loop

plus I want to know how to do it as a general action

[daring fern]

Try this. ```lua
local tempplayed = 0
local hand
for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
if v.played > tempplayed and v.visible then
tempplayed = v.played
hand = k
end
end
if hand then
level_up_hand(card, hand, nil, 2)
end

[fading geyser]

I'm sorry to be a bother, but would anyone know how to draw a card of a certain suit to hand?

weird, this doesnt seem to work, hm

It works

I just need to figure out how to draw specifically spades

If anyone could help, please let me know

[tall wharf]

Saturn is broken

idk how many times i have to repeat this

[uncut grail]

yeah... i figured

[lavish lake]

Thanks

[daring fern]

Is there way to check what card a blueprint is copying even if there are multiple blueprints?

[pale venture]

I'm pretty sure the simplest way is creating a table and adding all cards in deck that have the spade suit to it, then use the draw_card fuction on a random element from that table

You already have the for loop figured out

[fading geyser]

I just need a general way of drawing a card with a suit instead of a card key

[forest ivy]

so what causes crash

[pale venture]

Yeah, i could be wrong but i don't think there's a way to do that directly, the next best way is grouping together all card keys with that suit.

You might not even need to create a table actually, let me share some code from my mod

This is what i did to draw ALL cards from the deck with a certain rank or suit

You just need to break out of loop once you've drawn the number of cards you wanted in your case

[fading geyser]

Thank you!!

[daring fern]

It looks like you've already solved your issue but there is also this ```lua
local oldshuffle = CardArea.shuffle
function CardArea:shuffle(_seed)
if self == G.deck then
local spades = {}
local notspades = {}
local cards = self.cards
for i, k in pairs(cards) do
local priority = 0
if k:is_suit("Spades") then
priority = 1
end
if priority > 0 then
spades[#spades+1] = k
else
notspades[#notspades+1] = k
end
end
pseudoshuffle(spades, pseudoseed(_seed or 'shuffle'))
pseudoshuffle(notspades, pseudoseed(_seed or 'shuffle'))
for _, card in ipairs(spades) do
table.insert(notspades, card)
end
self.cards = notspades
self:set_ranks()
else
oldshuffle(self, _seed)
end
end

[brazen tusk]

is this effect terrible 💀

i can't decide if i like it or not

[next timber]

i think it sounds good

[pale venture]

Yeah it's pretty cool

[brazen tusk]

ty, would you say its an uncommon?

[next timber]

i think that makes sense yeah

[lament agate]

which lua is the one responsible for playing the chips and mult sound effects

is it game or back

or is it main

[daring fern]

I think it is common_events.lua

[fading geyser]

That's really cool, but isn't that just polychrome?

[brazen tusk]

absolutely

[fading geyser]

Maybe make it x1.75 or smth

[manic rune]

nah, i think X1.5 is pretty balanced already

[fading geyser]

So it's different and still a good effect

[lament agate]

thanks doc

[manic rune]

ur getting an enhancement which gives X1.5 Mult with no downsides

[fading geyser]

True

[brazen tusk]

yeah and you can still add polychrome on top

[manic rune]

exactly

[fading geyser]

Up to personal preference, I prefer my mods to be a bit more broken so that's what I'd do, but those are still good points

[hushed field]

vanilla-plus enjoyers when a cryptid-enjoyer shows up

[manic rune]

i have no clue what category my mod falls under

[lament agate]

wait where is this located again

[brazen tusk]

on the subject of balance, what we thinking about this?

[manic rune]

the functions folder in balatro, probably?

[lament agate]

thanks

[manic rune]

-# no like, im guessing

-# i dont remember which folder

[fading geyser]

By it so you mean the joker or the card

[brazen tusk]

the card

[manic rune]

very strong when u got it early

[hushed field]

I think you may need to balance it a bit more, because it basically allows you always trigger it if you're not doing a 5 card hand build, but I do like the concept and the art is great

[fading geyser]

Does it start at 1x or 0x?

[brazen tusk]

1 otherwise youd be losing mult

[manic rune]

1X, duh

[fading geyser]

Yeah but if you started at 0x then you'd need to build it up before it's good. That'd be a bit more balanced

Again, personal preference

[hushed field]

X0 is so deadly that you never want to make use of it, haha

[brazen tusk]

I did a playthrough with having it shop 1 and it didn't seem that strong, and then i got sock and buskin AND hanging chad

[fading geyser]

By start at 0x, I mean that it has no effect until the card gets the initial 0.2x, so actually it starts at 0.2x

[fading geyser]

Damn

[manic rune]

its so slow in which case its probably not even worth it 😭

[fading geyser]

It depends how much effort you want put into it to make it good

[manic rune]

you can only increase its mult by X0.2 once per round, since you are supposed to play it unless you got blueprint

[fading geyser]

But either way it's a really cool effect, great idea

[manic rune]

you need 5 rounds to even get one card to X1, and thats if you even manage to draw it consistently every time

[fading geyser]

True

Good point

[lament agate]

ah shit

[next timber]

asbestos:

[hushed field]

i'm going to postpone working on this create_card hijacking and just make some boss blinds today

[brazen tusk]

i had it on .25 originally lol

[lament agate]

cant find the lua where theyre responsible for playing the dagger sound

[crisp coral]

"it wasn't that strong until i forced it to become photochad"

[brazen tusk]

thought that was a bit much

[lament agate]

is it in card.lua?

[manic rune]

me when fucking

photochad

[manic rune]

probably in card.lua, yeah

[hushed field]

a threesome?

[brazen tusk]

LMAO

[manic rune]

😭?

[hushed field]

balatro goes kink

[manic rune]

NAHHH YOUR HOLDING THAT AGAINST ME NOW

💔

[fading geyser]

I've always wondered why Hanging Chad is Common

[manic rune]

its uh

[lament agate]

thanks doc

[manic rune]

certainly the common joker of all time

:3

[fading geyser]

Retrigger a card twice is op

[manic rune]

id still argue riff raff is the best common joker tbh

[hushed field]

btw bepis. gonna test your mod out today because I have no work-work to do! excited to try it and finally get back to my literature degree roots and just do a bunch of reading

[next timber]

i should give my mod an achievement/unlock/whatever for getting the Big edition on hanging chad

[fading geyser]

And that's pretty fair

[next timber]

4 retriggers lets goo

[manic rune]

:3 aww, but also, there r some localization errors here and there which i fixed, but haven't committed yet

[brazen tusk]

speaking of 💀 i think i need to reduce this to once

[manic rune]

shouldnt have any actual impact on the gameplay itself though

[manic rune]

you know what, i think its fair

:3

[hushed field]

oh wow i wouldn't have recognized you as flutteren until you said this, hahaha

[fading geyser]

Make it rare and I think twice is fine

[manic rune]

its inconsistent

[next timber]

lol hii thats me

[hushed field]

i'll go back to my balatro playing roots and just be part of the 98%

[next timber]

i have become kermit at the whims of whom i am matching pfps with

[fading geyser]

Actually, maybe make it so that it doesn't trigger on a retrigger

[tall wharf]

hi

[next timber]

hi aiko

[manic rune]

but wait

[brazen tusk]

it can't anyway

[hushed field]

hey hey aiko! I hope you're less tired today

[tall wharf]

did anyone say anything about boss blinds

[manic rune]

what happens if you retrigger a lucky card

[fading geyser]

Oh good

[tall wharf]

still tired

[hushed field]

I'm cosplaying you today

[hushed field]

I'll take a nap for you, nw

[fading geyser]

It rolls the chances again

[manic rune]

and the rng rolls successfully like 2 times

[tall wharf]

but i was playing video game

[brazen tusk]

game wont allow it bc 3 oops's would make it go infinite

[manic rune]

true...

[next timber]

chat what do we think of this edition

[hushed field]

getting the first of these set up today, then just hoping it'll make for fun ones, haha

I don't have art yet for the other 14 I have planned

[next timber]

ooh movie villain jokers?

[hushed field]

boss blinds

[next timber]

not jokers boss blinds im stupid

lol

[hushed field]

Channeling my inner Aiko and seeing how quirked up these'll get

[manic rune]

what does parasite do

[next timber]

it is parasite

[manic rune]

crap

[next timber]

it applies itself to a new joker when the one it's on runs out

[brazen tusk]

it forgor

[manic rune]

question, does everything in G.GAME.blind gets removed when you enter a new boss blind?

[hushed field]

there was no documentation about the implementation for boss blinds, right?

what the hell is this

[crisp coral]

sound doesn't exist

[lament agate]

how though

its right there

[manic rune]

this is probably not necessary, if every var in G.GAME.blind resets

[heady siren]

How do I prevent an enhancement from appearing in booster packs?

[crisp coral]

have you declared the smods obj for it

[crisp coral]

with the mod pref

[lament agate]

mod pref?

[crisp coral]

prefix

[heady siren]

I've got 2 enhancements that are only supposed to be summoned by jokers and nothing else

[lament agate]

yeah, audjung_gong

the keys are audjung

[daring fern]

Put weight = 0 in the enhancement.

[brazen tusk]

idk why but gong.ogg is quite comical

[lament agate]

take a listen

[heady siren]

Thank you

[heady siren]

Taco Bell

[lament agate]

yes exactly

[brazen tusk]

it doesn't disappoint

[daring fern]

And this ```lua
in_pool = function(self)
return false
end

[heady siren]

Man I wish Taco Bell was real

[lament agate]

im trying to mod that gong in to this

everything works fine

wait no

fuck

I MEAN SLICE

TO MOD THE SLICE IN

[heady siren]

I hate it but I love it

I'm just working on The Flesh That Hates but it's a joker

[lament agate]

yeah its there

slice1

[hushed field]

I currently have the Hannibal Lecter blind set up to destroy the final hand of a round, buuuut should I just make it turn every joker perishable like Gros Michel so it starts 'eating' jokers 🤔

[lament agate]

and the patch too

[heady siren]

Do .wav files work?

[lament agate]

oh

oh fuck im so dumb

AAAAAAAAAAAA

its ogg,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

how am i real

why am i so dumb

[heady siren]

Good jorb

You even put the path in and everything

[lament agate]

still doesnt work

[brazen tusk]

every joker would be insane

[lament agate]

its supposed to play this

[heady siren]

Did you change the file into an ogg using audio software?

[heady siren]

Did you change the actual file path in-game?

[hushed field]

Sorry, I think Aiko's spirit's overtaken me, yeah

I'll keep it as a destroy effect now, I reckon, just because that feels a bit more balanced

[lament agate]

yes

[heady siren]

No idea then

[lament agate]

i was patching the line where it says slice

[heady siren]

Maybe you cursed it

[lament agate]

damnit

im asking reddit

also holy shit

i was trying to patch the chips and mult sounds

but holy

there's alot

how am i supposed to patch all of that

does the patch cover all lines that contain the pattern or

[hushed field]

@tall wharf you said you stored all your data in the debuff, right?

[brazen tusk]

i think my pixel art smoothing has just, stopped working?

yeah todd is not usually looking that crispy

[tall wharf]

ye

[hushed field]

Do any of the variables you set in a blind save and load?

[crisp coral]

nope, hook to save and load

well. hands_sub and discards_sub both save

[midnight coyote]

if i’m not mistaken, the fire effects show up when the total number of chips you have currently earned in your hand exceeds the total required to pass the round, yeah?

[pale venture]

Yup

[midnight coyote]

then it grows as you get more and more

[manic rune]

how do i check if a joker is debuffed

[midnight coyote]

try card.ability.debuffed that’s a guess though

so take it with salt

[manic rune]

not even a grain of salt, straight up salt?? 😭

-# i will try that though, thanks

[hushed field]

Thanks Myst! I'll set up a hook once I get to the blinds that need it, I guess!

[midnight coyote]

i woke up 17 minutes ago

i’m just throwing it out there

[manic rune]

:3 ic

[hushed field]

I think it's debuff, not debuffed but yeah

[daring fern]

Isn't it just card.debuff

[midnight coyote]

hm alright

well i learned something today

[hushed field]

does debug plus allow you to force a boss blind to show up?

[midnight coyote]

not sure…

[manic rune]

yes

[hushed field]

I assume through the console it for sure does, but I'm not sure what the command would be

[midnight coyote]

okay

[manic rune]

turn on Collection, and press 3 on the blind

[hushed field]

oh, that works?

[midnight coyote]

that’s what i thought

[manic rune]

that works, mhm

im working on my boss blind rn so i can confirm it works

[midnight coyote]

does this work for showdowns too?

[manic rune]

:3

[manic rune]

yes

[midnight coyote]

in antes that aren’t every 8th one

[hushed field]

That's the scarier truth of my keyboard being broken

[midnight coyote]

just download a program like AHK

[hushed field]

Oh no wait, I'm not on my test mod folder, so debugplus isn't even on, haha

[manic rune]

on-screen keyboard.....

[midnight coyote]

and then just bind a macro to press 3 to something else

[daring fern]

That works.

[midnight coyote]

showdowns are every 8th ante, right

[hushed field]

if my 3 button'd stopped working, I'd honestly just grab the bike and go buy a new keyboard real quick, haha. But the keyboard works, I just don't

[midnight coyote]

i haven’t made it to ante 16 yet so i don’t know 😵‍💫

[zealous glen]

Or you can request it here, or do the PR after you implement it https://discord.com/channels/1334988047229653042/1354225980096512081

[midnight coyote]

that’s why you need to be like me and have 3 backup keyboards from keyboards that you’ve had before

[hushed field]

if I get it functional, I'll for sure set it up in a way to push it to smods

[hushed field]

I donated a bunch of old computer stuff to the local library a while back, so all my old keyboards that still worked were given away, haha

[midnight coyote]

average selfless L /j

[zealous glen]

That means you need to rob the library

I’m reminded of my first year in college when a professor asked us for help emptying out a computer lab then the dean showed up and asked up to put it back

yall ever stole a mouse from the it room before? :3

[zealous glen]

What IT room

[hushed field]

the it room? you mean the sewers?

[midnight coyote]

no but one time i got back from my school and i looked in my bag to find a laptop charger.

[hushed field]

https://tenor.com/view/aell46s-pennywise-payaso-gif-18516414

[zealous glen]

I had a friend who reverse stole a computer from a lab

And by reverse stole I mean that they brought theirs from home and permanently installed it there

[midnight coyote]

accidentally stole a laptop charger because in the moment i thought it was mine

[native zinc]

me with my suspiciously mouse filled tote bag: what IT room? I've never heard of it

[midnight coyote]

so it can get all the yummy spyware 🤤

[hushed field]

my leaving the it room with a conspicuous yellow raincoat stuffed in my big sharp clown teeth

[midnight coyote]

how schools feel after installing spyware that takes up half the computer’s resources just so their students can’t play games on the computer (this could have been solved with a firewall rule)

[manic rune]

my laptop fucking crashed

because i ran balatro with discord at the same time

amazing

you're in luck

im 19

i forget that people in middle school can be on this app

younger even

[brazen tusk]

don't remind me they exist lmao

[native zinc]

im currently procrastinating on my linguistics work

[midnight coyote]

that doesn’t stop anyone

[zealous glen]

But I suppose some people do their PhDs at 13

[zealous glen]

what language

[pale venture]

Funnily enough i think if you write something on the lines of "i'm x years old" with x being a number lower than 13 Discord will lock your account until you verify it's not the case

[hushed field]

when i was teaching, I moderated a big creative writing server and it was very awkward to learn that one of the people on that place telling people their writing was shit was a student at the school i was teaching at. Ever since then, I've decided children nor teenagers exist whenever I'm nearby

[native zinc]

linguistics is all languages

[hushed field]

oh hey another linguist???

[native zinc]

but rn its malay

[zealous glen]

Yeah but people studying language usually focus on one or two

[native zinc]

eh not really there yet

[zealous glen]

At least for undergrad

[manic rune]

tf is purple day

[native zinc]

probably going to be sg malay or singlish

depends

[zealous glen]

It’s like green day but purple

[manic rune]

❤️

thank you wise sir

[hushed field]

tag me if you ever end up info dumping here about the fun quirks of a language, I'd love to read it 😛

[zealous glen]

I misread that as simlish at first

[native zinc]

wow creative writing instructor too ...

[manic rune]

any clues why this doesnt seem to debuff the jokers?

[native zinc]

i'm moreso grammar cop without the cop though

[manic rune]

i printed the highlighted part in the console

it definitely has the joker stored

[midnight coyote]

i’m pretty decent at programming

[zealous glen]

I wonder if there’s logical/philosophical sense to have 4th, 5th, and 6th persons in a language 🤔

[hushed field]

I'm a grammar anarchist, so sorry to say we won't get along

[midnight coyote]

i know Lua, Python, Dart, C, Java, Kotlin, GDScript, Bash

[native zinc]

chat is not a 4th person pronoun

[zealous glen]

It’s not about chat

But it was inspired by the conversation

[native zinc]

thank god

oh no

yeah 4th person pronouns don't. exist

[zealous glen]

But many languages have constructs specifically for “no one”, “someone”, and “everyone”

[midnight coyote]

isn’t ‘someone’ a 4th person pronoun

[native zinc]

no

[midnight coyote]

oh alright

[native zinc]

oh my go

[heady siren]

I made a simply but funny joker that I'm surprised I've never seen

[midnight coyote]

well it is now. because i said so. wrap it up everyone /j

[zealous glen]

They either repurpose existing pronouns or avoid pronouns

[hushed field]

I've seen people argue that 'collective POV' is 4th person perspective, but that's based on severely misunderstanding with xth person means, haha

[native zinc]

someone is an indefinite pronoun

[zealous glen]

Yeah I’m not taking about “chat”

[zealous glen]

In English it’s an indefinite pronoun conjugated in the third person, but other languages have other rules

[native zinc]

yeah

[hushed field]

But that's I think because a bunch of creative writing people don't study in linguistics in any way, so they're not gonna know the definitions

[brazen tusk]

how does one actualise the 2nd person

and why is the 3rd person not the 2nd

[zealous glen]

Portuguese has constructions with no pronouns

Because the subject is unknown or nonexistent

[midnight coyote]

can i make a language derivative of english that does nothing but make me correct

[zealous glen]

For example, “Rains.” is a complete Portuguese sentence

[heady siren]

Go make English but not stupid and inconsistent

[manic rune]

😭

[brazen tusk]

i've tried on multiple occasions, not possible

too many lines that cross

[midnight coyote]

let’s make english but it’s not english

[native zinc]

i hate most english spelling reforms

[manic rune]

wawa

[native zinc]

they kinda suck

[midnight coyote]

let’s make a pidgin language for this server

[hushed field]

yes. If you wanna go further, become a personal language purist and decide that because language is a set of assumptions, not rules, every person inherently speaks their own idiolect of a language perfectly

[native zinc]

generally the purposes of language is to express ideas though so that's the only metric

[manic rune]

why are they not debuffed!!!gghghgh

[zealous glen]

There’s also “Robbed me.”, but this one is conjugated in the third person plural instead of singular

[crisp coral]

recalc_debuff

[brazen tusk]

i do not subscribe to this notion

[native zinc]

"does the other person understand? congrats you are speaking correctly"

[zealous glen]

And it indicates an unknown subject

[hushed field]

or join the post-chompskian use-based grammar perspectives that says that any form of grammar is an imperfect system, as proven by the fact that ai systems construct their own arbitrary grammar encodings when trained on language

[west mason]

bruh i have no idea how to fix this

[manic rune]

actually, i couldve just returned true inside the loop itself, but it shouldnt matter right

[zealous glen]

Trying to explain linguistics to someone who thinks chat is a 4th person pronoun is not speaking correctly then

[native zinc]

communication is unfortunately a two way street

with a lot of detours

[west mason]

here's the code that im using to open the pack, what should i add to prevent it bugging like that?

[hushed field]

No, that's noise and is inherent to any communication. As Derrida states, language is inherently imprecise and exact communication is impossible, therefor all communication is inherently miscommunication

[crisp coral]

not the linguistic talk in modding dev channel 💀

[native zinc]

yea

[manic rune]

its still not debuffed

:3

wtf r those jokers made out of

are they just natrually resistant to being debuffed 😭

[zealous glen]

Finally the two linguistic Balatro players found the modding channel

[brazen tusk]

gold by the looks of it

[hushed field]

I think normal booster packs change the game state, which you may have to do

[zealous glen]

Do you wanna trade some linguists for mathematicians

We have too many of them

[native zinc]

okay no more linguistics

[crisp coral]

doesn't opening a pack auto change the state

[native zinc]

creative writing instead

[crisp coral]

or am i delulu

[native zinc]

have you heard of the flashback past tense trick

[zealous glen]

No

[native zinc]

i think flashbacks are eh but the past tense trick is fun

[hushed field]

No, because I think it's the gamestate that changes the UI. It's just that in almost any context, you don't get to open a pack that doesn't change the state. But I'm very likely to be misremembering, Myst, haha

[manic rune]

WHY

[zealous glen]

Earlier this week we talked about “historical present” where the present is used to describe the past

[manic rune]

all the two jokers are there, tf u mean 😭

[crisp coral]

dw I'm on my phone so I can't check whether I'm posting misinformation

[zealous glen]

Are you sure the function gets called for Jokers

Aiko was debuffing Jokers differently

[hushed field]

i'm on my pc so i can check if i am, but I haven't. I'll check now, I guess

[zealous glen]

So did Crimson Heart

[manic rune]

this should just check if card is in the table, right?

and if it is, return true and hopefully it gets debuffed

[zealous glen]

Does the table exist?

[manic rune]

yes

im printing it rn

and the loop definitely works

[midnight coyote]

so if i’m using a consumable how do i target whatever card i selected

[manic rune]

G.(smt).highlighted

depends on what card you want to target

[midnight coyote]

a Joker

[manic rune]

G.jokers.highlighted

[midnight coyote]

alright that’s it

[hushed field]

also feel free to talk over the people not discussing modding 😛 You're allowed to take precedence in this case haha. I had this error sometimes when opening a pack, closing the game, then reloading it, because the states got mixed up, but I'm not sure how to solve it in this case 🤔

[manic rune]

mhm

[midnight coyote]

alright

[zealous glen]

Canicha charging up the wall-of-text beam

[midnight coyote]

because i have this card which is a 50% chance to replicate a joker, and a 50% chance to obliterate it

[manic rune]

oh wait, its a table containing all the highlighted jokers, so you still need to see it as a table btw

G.jokers.highlighted[1]

[midnight coyote]

can’t you only highlight one joker at once

iirc

[midnight coyote]

would it not start at 0?

[manic rune]

yeah but for consistency, its still a table containing all the highlighted stuff
