[crisp coral]

i think talis fixed this already

[frosty dock]

0 is a number

[crisp coral]

maybe

idk

[manic rune]

oh

so its a talisman problem, not mine?

[frosty dock]

yeah try updating

[manic rune]

AGAKLGKSAKLS

OH MY GOD WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THAT

thanks guys 💔

[crisp coral]

tunnel vision

[manic rune]

that was 1 fucking hour wasted

ghhh

[frosty dock]

talisman 💔

[manic rune]

talisman compat 💔

[buoyant merlin]

Uh what context would this be paired with

[hard flume]

I should update all my mods but constantly updating them is a chore

[frosty dock]

luajit2 ❤️

[manic rune]

never tried that but it sounds cool ❤️

[crisp coral]

luajit2 ❤️

(i don't care about optimization)

[spring lantern]

anyone know how to handle booster pack particles

[frosty dock]

any context with a playing card as other_card (or being scored directly), basically. Otherwise you can use SMODS.in_scoring(playing_card, context.scoring_hand)

[thin anchor]

how would i add this enhancement to selected playing cards

[frosty dock]

check code for other consumables

the selected cards are in G.hand.highlighted

[manic rune]

....

they didnt fix it

i downloaded the latest version already

it seems to be only occurring when you are using omeganum settings

:3

[frosty dock]

😔

[manic rune]

praise fucking talisman

🧎‍♂️

[tall wharf]

[frosty dock]

praise fucking talisman

[manic rune]

oh nevermind, bignum breaks too

[frosty dock]

ftfy

[manic rune]

fmeafemao

welp, adding talisman to incompat for now then 😭

[manic rune]

the reason why it didnt crash was because i had Disable Scoring Animations on

if i have it off then it will crash

thats certainly something

[frosty dock]

😔

[thin anchor]

losing my fukclking mindh

[humble girder]

talisman is bad tbh

hot take

[manic rune]

Disable Scoring Animation compat™️

[frosty dock]

most normal take

[humble girder]

if i want to watch my es get es without effort i'll go hit up a calculator

[crisp coral]

[humble girder]

cryptid's popularity would beg to differ tbh

[manic rune]

❤️

[modern kindle]

lmfao

now youll get people asking where to download talismans disable scoring animations

[frosty dock]

😭 unfulfillable dependency

[marble flint]

i still want a way to have "optional dependencies" just to document to users of my mod what integrations exist

[stark geode]

how do i i check how many cards are in a hand

[manic rune]

#G.hand.cards

[humble girder]

what hand

hand that has been played?

[hard flume]

The code in my Balatro Mod sucks and I need to reoptimize it

[humble girder]

hand that is being scored?

held in hand?

[thin anchor]

help

[stark geode]

well it would be a single played card

[manic rune]

whatchu doin

[humble girder]

#context.scoring_hand

[manic rune]

thats a table

you need to

G.hand.highlighted[1] or smt

depends on what your looking for

#context.scoring_hand

[manic rune]

^

[stark geode]

so this would act like dna

[manic rune]

im taking a rest early today

ive been scratching my head so much im gonna go bald by 18

💔

[manic rune]

for DNA, it would be #G.play.cards

[humble girder]

or #context.full_hand because why not use context vars

[manic rune]

true...

[humble girder]

remember mods might add things to scored hand beyond G.play

[stark geode]

then i can use getn to get the length right

[humble girder]

mine does 🙂

# is the length

[stark geode]

how does that work lol

[buoyant merlin]

...why are there slots that say they are filled but aren't?

[onyx sonnet]

ghost cards!

[humble girder]

https://www.lua.org/pil/1.html

[pulsar flower]

i love ghost cards they are very fun

[hushed field]

You've probably destroyed cards without removing them from the playing_cards var. If you destroy during a blind, there's a context that'll make sure that won't happen

[thin anchor]

ok so how would i make my cards do those cute little things like spinning and such

[red flower]

copy what they do in the vanilla code

[hushed field]

Are you not using the default set up for tarot enhancements?

[thin anchor]

no

[buoyant merlin]

Ok yeah that makes sense......... Found the ghost object of this game................

[humble girder]

literally just setting mod_conv in config.tarot removes the need for extra code

[manic rune]

Hello balatro moding developers

[maiden river]

oh, how nice it is to not have a million folders

[stark geode]

rn im using G.GAME.current_round.hands_played

[chilly tendon]

I have like, esentially no prior modding experience other than replacing sprites in folders to make them look like things

[humble girder]

there has been less days in this year

[red flower]

i deleted my letterboxd because of the embarrassing low amount of movies i watch

[manic rune]

u dont need the ","

[chilly tendon]

But I wanted to learn how to make some jokers and stuff for a friend to play with

its not a table

[chilly tendon]

Thank you! I will look at these and if I have learned more or can't figure something out I will return

[manic rune]

mhm, feel free to ask anything ur confused about!

[chilly tendon]

[thin anchor]

removed the commas

[red flower]

u cant just ask about every syntax error

[maiden river]

you have to attach the :flip to the card object you want to flip 😭

[manic rune]

that resolution is even worse than me running Minecraft ngl 😭

[maiden river]

just saying :flip() doesn't really mean anything

[red flower]

the threads are very funny

[thin anchor]

im done

[modern kindle]

well why the freak not

[slender bay]

Trying to give xmult for every queen held in hand, nothing happens and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong

[humble girder]

why final scoring step

instead of individual

[manic rune]

to_big or to_small

that is thy question

[slender bay]

Because that would apply the xmult to scored queens and not the queens held in hand

[red flower]

final_scoring_step doesn't have other_card

[modern kindle]

call my shit to_medium

[maiden river]

if anything, you could just use joker_main and count the number of queens then

[reef belfry]

How do u even write this on ther 💔💔

[maiden river]

and then multiply that by the XMult you want to give

[daring fern]

context.individual also happens for held in hand cards

[maiden river]

that's also true

[slender bay]

yeah it worked, thanks

[stark geode]

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'PNA',
    calculate = function (self,card,context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then

                }
            end
        end
    end
}

why tf is it trying to call that

[hushed field]

don't return card = self, return card = card

[stark geode]

stealing from the sorce code go crazy

[hushed field]

you don't ever wanna return self in the calculate function, basically

[stark geode]

good to know

[wintry solar]

You don’t need to return card = card either

It’ll auto apply the message to the relevant card in that context step, if you want to change it you use message_card = cardObject

[hushed field]

actor pack is proving a bit more cumbersome than I'd hoped. damn.

[open aspen]

what does localize actually do

[rancid bridge]

how would i calculate this (i am actually a little stuck on loc vars but i think the only one i definitely need is the Xmult one)

[open aspen]

basically how would you make a calculate function for this?

[rancid bridge]

Yeah

[maiden river]

for challenges, what's card_key supposed to be?
(in reference to yes_ranks and no_ranks specifically)

[open aspen]

well, will this activate on cards played (i assume so)

?

like when u play a hand with enhanced cards

[rancid bridge]

yes

[maiden river]

nevermind, I figured it out

maybe I should use my break from my mod to PR the docs

[open aspen]

Well, in that case, what you want to do is loop over context.scoring_hand in calculate function, then for each card in context.scoring_hand (its a table of the scoring cards in the played hand), you can check if it has an enhancement (one easy way to do this is next(SMODS.get_enhancements(currentCardInTheLoop)) ~= nil, the next() is there because that technically returns a table), and check the card rank with card:get_id() and make sure its even. If all of those checks pass, you can put return { xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult } (ofc im assuming what ur config variable is called)

[normal crest]

When you want a specific card do something during scoring you almost always want to use context.individual

[open aspen]

yes

[normal crest]

You told them to loop thru scoring_hand

[open aspen]

oh i completely misremembered what context.individual was lmao

yea no you dont have to loop through scoring hand

you can just check context.individual

[rancid bridge]

oh god why can't the examplejokersmod have an even steven example

[red flower]

because its the same as walkie talkie?

[rancid bridge]

oh
i may be a little stupid

[red flower]

also you can look at vanilla code

[rancid bridge]

i think i get it now...

[modern kindle]

well chat, i finally got around to doing a localization file (mostly)

[rancid bridge]

so this would work to detect even ranked cards?

[red flower]

yes

[rancid bridge]

and where would i put the enhancement check

[red flower]

you can put it in the same if condition

and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_key')

[long sun]

hi, is there a toggle, or something i can add to my Joker, which makes it shatter when destroyed?

[red flower]

i dont think so

[long sun]

aw

might have to write a hook

but have never done that before

[marble flint]

hook function SMODS.shatters(card)

[red flower]

i saw that but it doesnt seem to get called anywhere a joker would be destroyed

[rancid bridge]

is 'm_key' interchangeable or does it have to be 'm_key'

[long sun]

maybe i could patch start_dissolve?

[red flower]

it's m_ + the key of the enhancement

[marble flint]

it's injected via lovely, you won't find it much in SMODS's source code

[rancid bridge]

oh

[red flower]

i know how to browse the code, I'm saying that's only called when playing cards should be destroyed, it won't do anything for jokers

[long sun]

okay idea

[marble flint]

oh right i'm stupid

[long sun]

hook start_dissolve, check the card it's being called on, if it's one of the Jokers i wanna shatter, call shatter instead

[red flower]

yeah that sounds like what i would do

[long sun]

grand

lemme check how hooking works

[ancient gorge]

Is there a readme / guide / starter files for creating a mod for balatro?

[red flower]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1349064230825103441

[ancient gorge]

thx

[long sun]

first draft, i'm positive this code won't work

lemme give it a try though

[red flower]

the first line should be local ref = Card.start_dissolve

[maiden river]

what file is the challenge localization text rendered, does anyone know?

[long sun]

(oh, and i also missed an end)

[marble flint]

your key is probably something like "j_BFDI_bottle"

[long sun]

grand

[marble flint]

(BFDI being whatever the prefix is set as in your manifest .json)

[long sun]

OH WHAT IT ACTUALLY WORKS

[tall wharf]

today was crazy for me

[red flower]

crazy?

[tall wharf]

first i added math deck

for realsies

[maiden river]

what a hero

[tall wharf]

n do you still hate ui

[red flower]

i will try math deck now

[red flower]

depends

[tall wharf]

I'll work on the math deck + letter sleeve

[red flower]

ive never used the sleevs mod

[tall wharf]

it becomes a math deck pro

instead of measly simple arithmetic

you get variables

n a few functions

[red flower]

updated

[tall wharf]

i guess

math deck doesn't work with letter sleeve yet but the base math deck should be usable

there was an earthquake around 11 hours ago

[maiden river]

asking this btw so I can support using a table for my custom rule value

it works functionally, it just looks like this 😭

[red flower]

i also use a table for a challenge and I just decided to just hard write it lol

[maiden river]

I'm making a patch

[heavy hare]

what's the equivalent to console.log in LOVE?

[maiden river]

print

or use one of the logging functions if you're also using smods

LOVE just uses lua, so you can check out the docs for that

[heavy hare]

Never actually used the debugging tools for LUA, just console.log 💀

That might just be a tabletop sim function now that I think about it

[rancid bridge]

i didn't think of an effect for this one.... fucjk......

[minor furnace]

on my way to define custom behaviour for my joker when a specific challenge is active

[maiden river]

oh that's not hard

[minor furnace]

I figured

[spring lantern]

5/10 done :3

[minor furnace]

I literally just need a contidional inside the joker to see if the challenge is active

[thin anchor]

doesnt seem difficult

[minor furnace]

the hardest part is finding where the current challenge name is stored lmao

[thin anchor]

oh

[normal crest]

I bet 2 bananas on G.GAME.challenge

[minor furnace]

probably

I just haven't looked yet

[tall wharf]

wtf

[agile thistle]

that's the challenge table i believe

[spring lantern]

z = 9

[normal crest]

I'd count that as being right, I keep my 2 bananas

[opal holly]

got a little error at 431: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'odds_m' (a nil value)"
I'm not sure if i set my probabilities right

[minor furnace]

good news! G.GAME.challenge holds exactly the string that is the challenge id lmao

[hushed field]

I spent... HOURS debugging this function and it turns out I just forgot to clean the temp pool 😢

[minor furnace]

it happens

💔

i mean i guess its efficient

[maiden river]

I feel you
I remember when I had the Curse of Jimbo

[sonic cedar]

blueprint

did i just do the thing where you type what youre thinking

and think what you wanna type

actually speaking of blueprint can you hide the compat label is that a thing

[hushed field]

i just discovered that Kino sometimes overwrites other mods config files. Anyone familiar with that issue and what may cause it??

[sonic cedar]

bro is assimilating

[modern kindle]

in vanilla, whats the lowest hand amont you can start with for a blind excluding the needle

since that sets it to 1

[maiden river]

it's 1
if you have zero hands you would just lose

[opal holly]

i feel like i might have an end inserted somewhere that isnt supposed to

[maiden river]

same thing with hand size

[modern kindle]

well yea, i just mean in normal play is it possible to get enough shit to make you actually only have 1 hand to play outside of a blind

[maiden river]

oh

[modern kindle]

or whatever the lowest is

[maiden river]

lemme think

there's troub, hieroglyph, and that's -2

[red flower]

im assuming that both dont use the same global variable to store it right

[normal crest]

Are you using SMODS.current_mod outside of the loading stage

[maiden river]

if you play on black deck, that's -3

so that's 1 right there

[modern kindle]

gotcha awesome, thanks

[maiden river]

why do you ask 🤨

are you up to something

[hushed field]

Oh, yeah. I thought I wasn't, but yeah, I'm not actually using the right variable. I bet that'll be it

[uncut grail]

how would i make a joker that reacts to other jokers getting destroyed?

would i use hooks?

[normal crest]

You can do SMODS.Mods.yourid.config or store a reference to it in a global variable during loading

[normal crest]

Unfortunately yeah, SMODS doesn't have a context for that yet

[modern kindle]

nah im implementing blind phases due to blind expander, and a friend was moaning about how you shouldnt be prevented from facing a boss because you didnt have enough hands (which i fundamentally disagree with due to the needle)

so i neeeded to know what the lowest poss was

[uncut grail]

how would i add a hook to a method? is that even real?

[hushed field]

yeah, I thought I was doing that, but I think I got distracted while setting it up every time, haha. It's not pushed to teh release branch, and my dev branch sets a mod-specific version of it and then never uses it again, haha

[normal crest]

Hooks are real!

You'll find examples somewhere in this discord... i cba to type one in phone

[maiden river]

I see

[wintry solar]

Didn’t victin add that context recently?

[normal crest]

No idea

[uncut grail]

so what would the order of things to do be? like...

[normal crest]

We need some "new SMODS feature" announcements

[uncut grail]

how would i add context using a hook

i have no clue how context even works, to be frank

is it a global variable or something

[normal crest]

Cus we can't all keep track of every commit lol

[knotty copper]

How do you make a toggle button and the describe where it gets put?
Like this?

[maiden river]

we need.... the docs
that reminds me that I need to PR them later

gotta keep up to date 🗣️

[normal crest]

To call a context manually use SMODS.calculate_context

And you pass it a table with the info in the context

That's for adding your own contexts

[uncut grail]

so i would hook SMODS.calculate_context into Card:start_dissolve?

[normal crest]

Uhh, there might be jokers that shatter instead of dissolve

I think glass joker? But idk

I hooked Card.remove instead

[uncut grail]

i don't quite get how i would hook something in a method...

like, card.remove does not exist yet, does it? and if it does, do i have to hook every instance of card.remove?

im stupid

[red flower]

local card_remove_ref = Card.remove
function Card:remove()
    if self.ability.set == "Joker" then
        SMODS.calculate_context({ joker_removed = self })
    end
    card_remove_ref(self)
end

[old bane]

do seals work on Jokers too or just playing cards?

[uncut grail]

thanks, but where do i put it?

just at the top of my mod lua?

[red flower]

yeah

[wintry solar]

If you apply them I don’t see why they wouldn’t work

[uncut grail]

apparently this was easier than i thought haha, sorry for the trouble

thanks a lot

[red flower]

keep in mind this will count sold jokers too

[uncut grail]

yeah i'll work out the logic

[turbid maple]

I have the full hook for this gimme a sec

[red flower]

and maybe jokers in the collection and stuff so it might need more checks

[uncut grail]

yooo hype

[turbid maple]

you also have to check if self.added_to_deck otherwise opening and closing your collections will trigger your joker 20 times

[old bane]

okay cause I was going to make a new mechanic using stickers but i was having trouble finding a way to make sure that there can only be one of them, so if seals work then itll be easier to make a Joker only have one of my new mechanic

[turbid maple]

-- Context for Joker destruction
local _card_remove = Card.remove
function Card.remove(self)
    if self.added_to_deck and self.ability.set == "Joker" and not G.CONTROLLER.locks.selling_card then
        SMODS.calculate_context({
            blueatro_destroying_joker = true,
            blueatro_destroyed_joker = self,
        })
    end

    return _card_remove(self)
end

[uncut grail]

tysm! i'll look into this and finally learn how these work...

[normal crest]

This will happen even in collections

[red flower]

thats what i said

[normal crest]

Oops

[red flower]

[normal crest]

Discord was lagging, that was the last message for me

hi

what do you think about my math deck

[red flower]

i played math deck

i didnt like it

[tall wharf]

😭

[red flower]

kinda too easy, letter was more fun

[old bane]

aikoyori still out here inventing new ways to play balatro

[tall wharf]

i guess i might have to make it more difficult

[turbid maple]

mixing math and letter cards so you can make 1E308

[red flower]

if numbers were less round it would be better

maybe less discards

[next timber]

Pixel deck when
Create an image out kf pixel cards within 1% accuracy or die

[tall wharf]

actually yeah

i have a few problems with this thing idk why

[red flower]

all my hands by the end were X * 10 ^ n

[tall wharf]

i should fix that

[next timber]

Instant e 👍

[sonic cedar]

is this the base game version of smods' calculate? or is there also a calculate_joker that i couldnt find documentation on

[next timber]

I think it would get a lot more interesting if you didnt have "0" cards by default

[red flower]

thats it afaik

[tall wharf]

hi toma

hi aiko

i am so cooked

would i run a consistent effect under Update or something? cause uhhh lua doesnt like me just doing it raw

is this for like a passive effect like pareidolia

i LOVE GDSCrIPT

its for a copy effect

there's a utility for doing blueprint effects in calculate

oh so like blueprint/brainstorm? you might wanna check in like the lovely dump of either card.lua or common_events.lua because i think there you can find it?

[red flower]

but ive never used it : )

[sonic cedar]

thats where i got the screenshots

im in card.lua rn

me because instead of using it I just retrigger jokers lmao

can someone help me diagnose why my joker isn't showing up in the collection?

the mod is being loaded, here's my SMODS.Joker call

SMODS.Atlas{
    key = 'j_chikenjokey',
    path = 'j_chickenjokey.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
}

SMODS.Joker{
  key = 'j_chikenjokey',
  loc_txt = {
    name = 'Chiken Jokey',
    text = {
      'If the first hand played is a pair',
      'destroy the played cards and gain',
      '{X:mult,C:white}#1#X{} Mult',
      'Currently at {X:mult,C:white}#2#X{}',
    }
  },
  atlas = 'j_chikenjokey',
...

[old bane]

for some reason i was thinking you meant arabic numerals and i was like “you mean the numbers we use in english?”

[thin anchor]

lol

[uncut grail]

done

i didn't know i would make it rare joker so i didn't make it that but it could've been called cannibalism

truly a missed opportunity...

[thin anchor]

[sonic cedar]

EREMELLLLLLL!! FINISH REVAMPING THE DOCUMENTATION AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

(do you know any examples i can look at)

[old bane]

me when editions recently got a calculate function and there wasn’t anything in the documentation about it

[red flower]

no idea

[hexed heath]

hmm

the game shuffles the deck both before and after a blind for some reason

[spring lantern]

the booster packs i made aren't appearing naturally in the shop even when i set the weight to like 20

:(

[old bane]

im assuming your atlas is just the chicken jokey sprite right?

[tall wharf]

@red flower is this better

[red flower]

much better

[sonic cedar]

chicken jockey 🗣️

[radiant plank]

yes exactly

[spring lantern]

y this mofo not appearing regardless of whatever weight value i set

[wintry solar]

I am working on it slowly

[radiant plank]

how does the prefixing work exactly? i think that's where my issue lies. im getting an error saying failed to collect file data for Atlas CHK_j_chikenjokey. my prefix in my json file is set to 'CHK'

[spring lantern]

the key should be j_CHK_chikenjokey methinks

but also that shouldnt be the atlas name

[thin anchor]

what does juice_up do?

[spring lantern]

[sonic cedar]

the lil shake

[radiant plank]

what should the atlas name be? i had it as Jokers.png originally

[spring lantern]

shimmy shimmy

[radiant plank]

should it be like CHK_Jokers.png?

[spring lantern]

that's the file name of the image

[radiant plank]

yeah

[thin anchor]

just need to figure out how it works hmmm

[red flower]

i can be whatever as long as you have the correct name in the atlas definition

[radiant plank]

does prefixing affect this?

[red flower]

not the file name

[spring lantern]

atlases dont prefix

their keyts

[red flower]

yes they do?

[tall wharf]

boom

no more skipping

[spring lantern]

what

[red flower]

with the mod prefix

you can ignore it for your objects tho

[spring lantern]

aint it just whatgever key you give it

[sonic cedar]

ok but fix the blinds though

[red flower]

modprefix_key

[spring lantern]

i have never had to add the prefix

for an atlas

[red flower]

yeah its automatic for your own objects

[tall wharf]

no

[radiant plank]

so i should manually prefix in my main.lua for the joker like atlas = 'CHK_j_chikenjokey

[spring lantern]

nah no need

[red flower]

no

[radiant plank]

okay hm idk what im missing here

[red flower]

hows the file called

and where is it located

[radiant plank]

i have that SMODS.Joker call in main.lua as of right now

and my folder structure looks like this

[red flower]

i mean the image thats throwing the error

[spring lantern]

just to make sure we're on the same page, this is the structure of an atlas definition

[radiant plank]

├── assets
│   ├── 1x
│   │   └── j_chikenjokey.png
│   └── 2x
│       └── j_chikenjokey.png
├── Chiken_Jokey.json
├── jokers
│   └── chikenjokey.lua
└── main.lua

ignore the jokers folder, i moved the chikenjokey.lua content into main.lua for debuggin reasons

no i dont prefix the atlas key with CHK, should i be doing that?

[spring lantern]

no need

[old bane]

inside your joker definition and in the atlas definition you dont need to be prefixing with the mod prefix

[thin anchor]

is this correct for juice_up?

[radiant plank]

just for clarity here's what i have, im not manually prefixing

SMODS.Atlas{
    key = 'j_chikenjokey',
    path = 'j_chickenjokey.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
}

SMODS.Joker{
  key = 'j_chikenjokey',
  loc_txt = {
    name = 'Chiken Jokey',
    text = {
      'If the first hand played is a pair',
      'destroy the played cards and gain',
      '{X:mult,C:white}#1#X{} Mult',
      'Currently at {X:mult,C:white}#2#X{}',
    }
  },
  atlas = 'j_chikenjokey',
...

[spring lantern]

wait i have a prefix right there am i stupid

[red flower]

it ignores it

[spring lantern]

yeah i imagined as much

[red flower]

what's the rest of the file

[old bane]

also your key should just be chikenjokey in your joker definition

[radiant plank]

...
  rarity = 3,
  cost = 10,
  config = {
    extra = {
      Xmult = 1.0,
      Xmult_scaling = 0.25,

    }

  end,
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.before and next(context.poker_hands['Pair']) and #context.poker_hands == 1 then
      sendTraceMessage("[context.before] A pair has been played!", "ChikenJokeyTraceLogger")
      card.ability.extra.active = true
      card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + 0.25
    elseif card.ability.extra.active and 
        context.destroy_card and 
        context.cardarea == G.play 
    then
      sendTraceMessage("[context.destroy_card] Destroying the cards", "ChikenJokeyTraceLogger")
      card.ability.extra.active = false
    end
  end

[old bane]

otherwise the full key would be j_j_chikenjokey

[hexed heath]

what's the difference between the name and key of a joker

[radiant plank]

great info im going to try removing the j_

[spring lantern]

display name vs. what the code reads internally

[tall wharf]

hi alrexx

[spring lantern]

Joker vs. j_joker

[hexed heath]

ah

[spring lantern]

herllo

[old bane]

the key is what SMODS uses to make sure it has the correct joker, name is what you see

[hexed heath]

thanks

[wintry solar]

That’s not true

[spring lantern]

😨

[old bane]

well

[radiant plank]

still not seeing my issue :'(

[old bane]

name in a SMODS joker definition doesnt work really

but name in a loc file/definition is what you see

[spring lantern]

name is some like vanilla thing i think actually

[wintry solar]

name as in card.ability.name is in vanilla the name of the joker, but in a smods joker object you can set it, or it’s auto populated with the key. It’s recommended that you check the key of a joker to find what you’re looking for to stop mod conflicts

[red flower]

does it crash
everything works for me without the atlas

[old bane]

keys are really important because if you have multiple mods that have the same joker name SMODS can still know which joker is which

[hexed heath]

alright, thanks

[radiant plank]

wtf really how

[radiant plank]

yeah its crashing

[red flower]

post log

[radiant plank]

holy shit i think i see it

i was spelling chicken properly

[spring lantern]

-# halp

[radiant plank]

THAT WAS IT LOL

[tall wharf]

bro spelt properly unintentionally

[radiant plank]

fml

[red flower]

uhh is the file loading?

[spring lantern]

yea it appears in my collection

[red flower]

maybe you are unlucky

[spring lantern]

i set the weight to 20 and it still didn't show up

[old bane]

nuuu

[spring lantern]

if this shit dont work im done

[old bane]

you can also always just debugplus it

[spring lantern]

okay there it is

[radiant plank]

well now that i can actually work with this

[spring lantern]

i just wanted to make sure it does show up in the shop

[sturdy monolith]

how could i add a tag based on the currently hovered over tag in the collection with a keybind? trying to add more stuff to the debug menu and this isn't working for some reason (sorry for the picture instead of a screenshot, my laptop doesn't have Internet at the moment)

[radiant plank]

can someone direct me to how i check for a hand being the first hand played?

[red flower]

pressing 3 already works

[sturdy monolith]

on a tag?

[red flower]

yeah

[sturdy monolith]

just tried it without my mod, it definitely does not

[sturdy monolith]

are you using debugplus?

[red flower]

yes

[sturdy monolith]

i am not

[red flower]

oh

well just copy what that does if you dont want to use it for some reason

[sturdy monolith]

well that would probably violate its license since my code is under the unlicense and debugplus is not

[red flower]

if i help you i would just use that code so it would be the same

[uncut grail]

dusk 2 and dusk 3: the graveyard pack

[sturdy monolith]

which is why I'm trying to do it myself

but my implementation won't work

which is why I'm asking for help

[sonic cedar]

the cycle

[minor furnace]

how does one add custom text to challenge descriptions

[sturdy monolith]

God that was delayed

[minor furnace]

localization file in the first image?

[red flower]

yes

[minor furnace]

my favorite 🙃

[uncut grail]

they grow up so fast 😢
the dusk lookalikes are gone forever..

[hushed field]

If I want to make a card visually disappear with a dissolve effect, and then move it to another card area, is the trick to just copy the start_dissolve implementation and remove literally just the event that containst the remove call?

[red flower]

thats what i would do

[dense vector]

The shovel

[opal holly]

3 probability checks, based off those scratch cards

[red flower]

omg fauna

you should use {X:mult,C:white} for xmult

[opal holly]

oh yeah oops

[minor furnace]

we are so back

and I've already proved it's beatable

[opal holly]

i still need to do sana and baelz

[old bane]

random idea: special “attacks” as playing cards that are activated on discarding the cards

oh wait i can cook with this, imagine action commands from paper mario but using the playing cards

[hexed heath]

am i on something or onto something

[old bane]

ooh

i like the design of it

cause it could be a double edged sword

sometimes you dont want your enhanced cards all the time and sometimes you do

[limber blaze]

top here meaning next drawn right

[hexed heath]

yeah

it also ends up affecting the cards dealt for the tarot packs

so thats another tradeoff

[zealous glen]

I had a similar design

but it was one of each

[hexed heath]

ooh

[next timber]

i had an idea for a joker or consumable or whatever that helps you get x of a kinds by moving cards of the same rank as ones your holding further up the deck

[hard flume]

new suits

bells and whistles

[minor magnet]

are they loud

[minor furnace]

there are no base game challenges that disable skipping, right?

[bronze ocean]

Hello, everyone!

I started playing around with mods about 2 days ago by modifying the Ace in the Hole deck mod I found here. Basically the same, but with a config menu

However, this mod was originally made last year so it's not up to date with how it should (?) be done

I'm going to re-write it like god intended, but I would like to keep this "original" (and wildly unbalanced) version archived somewhere. Should I start a new thread on modding? Or should I send the .lua file to the original mod's thread?

#1215144701586575360 message

[old bane]

should probably make a new thread (with permission from original modder, if possible)

also idea to throw out there: using SMODS.calculate_effect() to merge joker together using a sticker
(imagine stuff like Canio and Pareidolia together)

i know cryptid has like double sided jokers but having two effects in one joker always active would be hype

[rugged pier]

is there any documentation on what the weights are for different rarity of jokers? and can we make a new rarity that is a part of the same pool as an existing rarity? (just for visual purposes, creating a new rarity)

[old bane]

i think in SMODS.create_card(t) under Utility Functions it has a section describing how vanilla rarities are polled

[rugged pier]

thank you, i will take a look

[old bane]

check the wiki not the code idk if that was clear 😅

[rugged pier]

oh cool, some common jokers are more common than the others?

thought its all a part of the same pool, pretty cool

[rancid bridge]

anybody got an idea?

[rugged pier]

what is it supposed to be

[rancid bridge]

the rarity is legendary
and the character is from a game called it's not me, it's my basement

[rugged pier]

yeah just give me some context on character so i can think of something

[rancid bridge]

in the game they basically feed a "monster" (may or may not be their imagination) so that the monster doesn't get upset and eat them

[red flower]

no, that's the probability value for each rarity

[narrow iron]

when using add_card, what 'set' would playing cards be in?

[red flower]

doesn't work with playing cards i don't think

[narrow iron]

ah okay

[rugged pier]

the range implies that the common jokers that are closer to the lower bound of uncommon probability are less common than the ones that are not, correct?

[pulsar flower]

if i'm not mistaken playing cards are either 'Base' or 'Enhanced'

[red flower]

jokers don't have individual weights, what that says is that instead of doing pseudorandom() < probability it does yournumber < probability

[rugged pier]

mynumber < probability of what?

[narrow iron]

oh theres create_playing_card() nvm

[red flower]

local poll = yournumber or pseudorandom()
if poll < 0.7 then
   rarity = common
elseif poll < 0.95 then
   rarity = uncommon
else
   rarity = rare
end

[rugged pier]

ohhh i see okay so it doesnt matter if "yournumber" here is 0.1 or 0.2, it will still be a part of the same group as everything under 0.7

[red flower]

yes

[rugged pier]

awesome thats perfect, thank you!

[rugged pier]

mild mannered and responsible hmm

idk something to do with steel cards? just giving that sort of vibe

[sonic cedar]

so this code i currently have should have this joker do its flip animation event after another joker triggers, but the problem is that the animation triggers twice. how can i fix that?

better crop that makes sense oops

[normal crest]

Do you have anything else before that context.other_joker check

[rugged pier]

for some reason, this set up for a new rarity is causing the following error

is there something else that i have to implement?

[normal crest]

Try putting your mod id before the rarity

In the Joker

[sonic cedar]

within the calculate function, no. this is the entire calculate function

[rugged pier]

okay one second

[normal crest]

Then there must be multiple contexts in which context.other_joker exists

[sonic cedar]

i didnt hit paste pretend i did

[rugged pier]

that worked but now it shows this

[rancid bridge]

steel cards give x2 mult when held in hand instead of x1.5?

[normal crest]

Oh well, you have two flips there

[rugged pier]

yeah it is legendary so it doesnt matter if it is broken

[sonic cedar]

well yes
it needs to do a full rotation

[normal crest]

The way you setup the localization must be wrong, but idk whay the right wqy is

[rugged pier]

okay, i will look into it, thank you

[normal crest]

Oh, then yeah it's what I said, context.other_joker must exist in multiple contexts

[sonic cedar]

well how can i narrow the trigger down to only when another joker triggers its effect

[normal crest]

you need to add more conditions to filter the context you want

I'm not sure what contexts are available for that

If they're not in the wiki you'll have to experiment

Try logging the context

[sonic cedar]

elab?

[wintry solar]

Use post_trigger

[normal crest]

No need, eremel is here

Now I go

[wintry solar]

It should run after every joker trigger

[old bane]

btw how do you get that font, are you using vs code?

[sonic cedar]

one sec

[sonic cedar]

so if context.other_joker and context.post_trigger

?

[thin anchor]

anything wrong with this?

[wintry solar]

Just post trigger should be enough

[red flower]

G.hand.highlighted is a list of cards

[sonic cedar]

install game font from decompiled game and add to your vscode through settings

[thin anchor]

oop

[sonic cedar]

ill see

could’ve sworn i tried it but maybe not

[karmic arch]

Hi chat!! I'm bad at coding, but why doesn't this code allow you to build full house
local get_X_same_test = get_X_same
function get_X_same(num, hand)
return get_X_same_test(num, hand)
end

[sonic cedar]

it didn’t do it

gonna try with the and thing for the hell of it

[wintry solar]

Oh you need to enable them too

They’re an optional feature

[sonic cedar]

what do

you mean enable?

that’s a thing? /genq

[zealous glen]

something like this

[thin anchor]

is this right

[sonic cedar]

oh wow where’s that

[zealous glen]

that's a screenshot from my mod

[wintry solar]

It’s in the wip docs

[sonic cedar]

lifesavers

thanks guys

[junior lily]

does this look right? im trying to check if a scored card is a bonus card then create a random consumable but im not sure if im getting everything right so far

[chrome widget]

Remove the outer joker_main check and the return statement

[karmic arch]

context.other_card.ability.name == 'Bonus Card'? (from Golden Ticket )

[rugged pier]

why is the text white when i defined it as black in SMODS.Rarity

[karmic arch]

idk why

[junior lily]

dangit i forgot to install debug+

[red flower]

SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_bonus')

[rugged pier]

is there another way to define color of text?

[old bane]

is the discard cardarea like for cards youve previously discarded this round or is it just your previously discarded hand

[rancid bridge]

is that all of the vars i need for it's effect or do i need more vars

[red flower]

i dont think theres a way to define text colour

not that i see at least

[raw geyser]

I'm trying to draw a high detail joker, but the stickers are tiny. Is there a way to scale them up?

[rugged pier]

so always just white?

[thin anchor]

is this how you delay code?

[junior lily]

everything looks right to me

[wintry solar]

Any cards you have discarded/played in the round

[rugged pier]

use an event, and trigger = 'after'

[thin anchor]

i see

[rugged pier]

delay = seconds

[old bane]

oh i see

[thin anchor]

thanks

[red flower]

yeah

[rugged pier]

i see, ty

[rancid bridge]

like do i need a var for it to detect steel cards or am i asking stupid questions

[red flower]

nah

[junior lily]

same error

[dreamy thunder]

wait why are you returning that

[sonic cedar]

why is this considered a nil value? should it say G.jokers instead?

[junior lily]

i was referencing the example mods

[stark geode]

i think so

[dreamy thunder]

i dont think you're suppoused to return them

return the print part and get rid of joker_main

[thin anchor]

so like this?

[junior lily]

like this?

[dreamy thunder]

no

you still have

joker_main

[junior lily]

oop

[rugged pier]

    trigger = "after", 
    delay = 5, 
    func = function() 
        print("Hello, world!") 
        return true 
    end
}))```
trigger should be first i believe

[dreamy thunder]

if SMODS.has_enhancement...
return{
print("beans :3")
}

[dreamy thunder]

^

take ifs out of return

[junior lily]

fixed

lets see if the game opens

okay it opens

[red flower]

take the return out too

you're not returning anything

[dreamy thunder]

oh wait

true

you dont need to return prints

😭

[junior lily]

it works

[dreamy thunder]

nice

[junior lily]

print is just there as like a placeholder

now to actually make it do something

[thin anchor]

uhhh

[dreamy thunder]

did you define i

i dont think you did

[thin anchor]

well

no

ok

[dreamy thunder]

what are you trying to do

[thin anchor]

apply enhancement to playing card
i know the code to do so isnt there but
yeah

its a tarot card

[dreamy thunder]

something like this should do the trick

but it doesnt have the flip

part

[thin anchor]

oh

[dreamy thunder]

you can play arround with it and add flip

[junior lily]

how does one make a joker create a random consumable

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card({set = pseudorandom_element(SMODS.ConsumableTypes, pseudoseed("any seed"))})

[rugged pier]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before
            and context.cardarea == G.jokers
            and not context.blueprint
            and not context.retrigger_joker
        then
            card.ability.extra.xmult = 1
        elseif context.other_joker and context.other_joker.ability.set == "Joker"

                        return true
                    end,
                }))
                return {
                    message = localize({
                        type = "variable",
                        key = "csmr_xmult_gain",
                        vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult_gain },
                    }),
                    colour = G.C.MULT,
                }
        elseif context.joker_main then
            return {
                message = localize({
                    type = "variable",
                    key = "a_xmult",
                    vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult },
                }),
                colour = G.C.MULT,
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.xmult,
            }
        end
    end

I made a function to check if other jokers have the rarity "Preserver" and if they exist in the joker area then i want to give the current joker x1 mult. Right now based on the placement of the current joker, it does not count rest of the jokers in its xmult calculation. How would I fix it?

[red flower]

you can also limit it to {"Tarot","Planet","Spectral"} instead of SMODS.ConsumableTypes

[junior lily]

if its SMODS.ConsumeableTypes does that let it spawn any consumable, even ones that are modded in?

[red flower]

yeah i think so, i might be mistaken tho

[junior lily]

alr

ty!

[red flower]

oh yeah i am almost mistaken

local sets = {}

for k, v in pairs(SMODS.ConsumableTypes) do
    table.insert(sets , k)
end

SMODS.add_card({set = pseudorandom_element(sets , pseudoseed("any seed"))})

[junior lily]

alr, ill try this!

[sonic cedar]

where did i fuck up (this is in loc_vars btw)

[red flower]

#G.jokers.cards

[junior lily]

would it be better to put it in the calculate function or at the start of the script

like the sets and for k v

[red flower]

in calculate because other mods can load after yours

[junior lily]

alright

[sonic cedar]

same crash

[red flower]

it shouldnt be

[old bane]

Would SMODS.ObjectType allow me to like group things together so I can easily disable them later

or like i forget what Cryptid uses but something like wht they do

[sonic cedar]

this is when i hover over the card if that helps

[red flower]

is it the same crash log

[junior lily]

it works :D

[red flower]

oh it's in the collection?

[sonic cedar]

yes

[red flower]

you need to have a check if G.jokers doesnt exists

[night juniper]

is there any builtin thing for drawing a dynamic text object that has an updater callback function? i see there's a DynaText class in the game but can't find an example that has it auto-update, so if it does id appreciate anyone pointing me at an example of this use case

[sonic cedar]

how would i do that

would it be like if G.jokers = false or something

[red flower]

if G.jokers then

[sonic cedar]

oh i was close

[night juniper]

i wanna display restart required: yes in a settings tab depending on some boolean, feels very simple but 🤷🤷

[red flower]

dynatext can have a ref_table and ref_value and that should update automatically but idk if it does

i know UIT.T does

[old bane]

is this for like your config tab in your mod?

[sonic cedar]

that fixed the hover thanks

!

[night juniper]

im using UIT.T and keeping a ref to the node but i guess passing it to create_tab clones it so my ref gets stale / doesn't affect the actual object being rendered

I'll try DynaText with ref_table, thanks

[night juniper]

yes

someone's contributing the settings page & i wanna make that smol addition

(never tried writing UI before because the game's ui code scares me)

[red flower]

it should update yeah

[old bane]

basically what N said, I admittedly am not the best at balatro UI (i struggled for a while with my own config tab)

[red flower]

everyone asks me for UI stuff so I guess I know things

[thin anchor]

no more card for you

[rugged pier]

bump

[red flower]

can you elaborate on the effect? i dont completely get it

[next timber]

is there any way to make a card return to the player's hand after being played? other than just destroying it and remaking it which ideally i dont want to do

[sonic cedar]

i think i messed up rendering that card copying compatibility ui thing

[rugged pier]

so i have a few jokers that have a rarity type called "Preservers" (same as uncommon, think of baseball bat that gives 1.5x mult to each uncommon card), i want this joker to gain 1x mult for each of those jokers the player owns.

The current implementation does that but its positional, i.e., if the joker is placed in the first position and there are 4 "Preservers" after it, it would just give 1x mult instead of 4x.

[sonic cedar]

cause it's not showing up

[old bane]

theres probably multiple ways to do this but my first thought was to just have it so that it returns the discard to the deck and then the deck to the hand? cause theres functions that allow you to do that

[daring fern]

Couldn't you use the update function to check how many jokers there are and set it to + 1 that?

[red flower]

does it need to gain every hand?

[red flower]

you never need to use update

[rugged pier]

it just recalculates incase player sells another Preserver joker

[red flower]

you can just loop through G.jokers.cards in joker_main and then multiply xmult_gain by the amount

if you need the message then do it in before

[rugged pier]

so it would be if context.joker_main and context.before
for k,v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
xyz

?

[red flower]

context.joker_main and context.before don't happen at the same time

just one of those

[heady siren]

context.before is used for stuff like hand upgrading jokers like Spare Trousers and Runner and the card modifying jokers like Vampire and Midas Mask

[red flower]

if they need to have an animation of the joker "upgrading" like they have now then i think it's the right context

[sonic cedar]

should it not be in loc_vars is that the issue

cause then where should it go instead

[red flower]

no thats correct

[sonic cedar]

generate_ui mayb- oh

[red flower]

are you returning the main_end?

[sonic cedar]

in that case yeah it doesnt show the thingy

[sonic cedar]

oh my god

theres no way i did the same mistake twice

[radiant plank]

how exactly does the context.remove_playing_cards context work? is it run once for each card or is there a table i can read from to see info about the cards destroyed

[red flower]

context.removed is a list of cards

[radiant plank]

thank you

[next timber]

which context would be correct for running a function on a card in a scored hand just before its sent to the discard?

[rugged pier]

let me try

[rugged pier]

yeah i do

[sonic cedar]

still didnt show up, do i add like a # setup in the localization file?

[red flower]

can u show me the whole loc_vars

[sonic cedar]

(brb)

[red flower]

return {vars = {.....}, main_end = main_end}

[stiff nest]

hey all, if i wanted to ask a quick question about a difficulty im having with textures, would i ask that here or in another channel? 🤔

[chrome widget]

Does anyone know off the top of their heads where the actual position of cards within a cardarea's array is set during/after a drag? I want to make a soft separation in my consumable area between types of items so that you can't mix the two types (for ease of organization basically)

[red flower]

this is the right channel but idk anything about that personally

[stiff nest]

ahh fair

i just slapped my texture image into the game files but for some reason specifically scholar maintained its texture lol

[red flower]

you could try using malverk for it

[stiff nest]

ill look into that

but if anyone knows why this might be happening id love the advice
(and if anyone knows please ping me)

FOUND IT
There are two scholars in the asset

[next timber]

bit of a dumb question but is it more accurate to do pseudorandom('seed') < probability or pseudorandom('seed') <= probability?

[sonic cedar]

OH RIGHT OUTSIDE OF VARS YEAH

[hushed field]

my understanding is that pseudorandom creates numbers with enough digits that those are functionaly identical

[next timber]

👍

oh also how do i make my custom suit not show up in decks unless i specifically want it to show up in a custom one?

the wiki page for suits does mention something like it with in_pool but im still not really sure how to use that

[rancid bridge]

now i'm stuck at calculate...

[night juniper]

what (i assume vim) theme is this

i like bright text themes, my fave is moonfly

[digital niche]

how do i start in modding?

[next timber]

download lovely, download steamodded, look through the steamodded docs

[digital niche]

tyy

[next timber]

np

youll end up asking a lot of questions here still but such is the nature of modding

[digital niche]

yeah im sure i will ask a bunch of stuff, specially since its my first time in lua language

[hushed field]

#1349064230825103441 has some good resources as well

[digital niche]

tyty!

[chrome widget]

Hmm I'm getting a crash here

    table.sort(self.cards, function (a, b)
        if a.ability.set == 'Stand' and b.ability.set ~= 'Stand' then
            return true
        end
        return a.T.x + a.T.w/2 < b.T.x + b.T.w/2 
    end)
end```

I tried to add this hook to the CardArea:align_cards() function to make it so my Stand cards are always soft-grouped on the left side of the consumable area, but for some reason, it says this sorting is invalid if and only if I have more consumables than available slots due to using debug tools. Anyone got a clue?

[heady siren]

Do jokers trigger their remove_from_deck function when blueprint is moved off of them? If not, how could I make something trigger when the blueprint is moved off?

[chrome widget]

Okay nvm I just had to put a specific inverse check and return false apparently

[digital niche]

what exactly is a key?

[heady siren]

An internal identifier for an object, usually accompanied by a prefix if it's from a mod

So there's the Space Joker, but internally it's called j_space

[chrome widget]

in a programming sense, a "key" is the identifier of a value in a key-value pair. The entirely of lua is structured as tables with keys and their paired values

   key = 0
}```

So the key for this value of 0 is 'key', or `table.key`

[digital niche]

there is the

SMODS.Class {
    key = 'key',
    other_param = 0,
    loc_txt = {
        -- ...
    },

part, the "key" should be what? like the name or something?

[manic rune]

anything

[chrome widget]

Just whatever you want to identify it as

[heady siren]

The key should be a simplified version of the name that you can reference back to later, all one word and without capitalization

[digital niche]

oh okok, like a variable in python right?

[next timber]

yeah like the variable name

[digital niche]

oh okok, ty

the class is just if its a joker, tarot, spectral etc right?

[heady siren]

Tarot and Spectral would fall under the Consumable class

But yeah

Remember to reference the documentation, all of the classes are shown on the right sidebar
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki

You can also access the source code of Balatro by literally just extracting the balatro.exe file with 7zip

[main mica]

working on a diamonds skin :3

[digital niche]

ooh okok, tyy!

[heady siren]

So you can search around and see how LocalThunk did some stuff himself

[next timber]

in a suit's in_pool function, is there a way of telling if it's a vanilla deck or not?

[heady siren]

Looks good, would probably be a bit hard to read at a glance though

[heady siren]

I would honestly just check to see if it's Spades, Hearts, Clubs, or Diamonds, but there's probably a way to do it legitimately

[next timber]

what do you mean? i'm trying to stop my custom suit spawning in vanilla decks

do you mean take ownership of every vanilla deck or smht

[heady siren]

Oh, nevermind

I misunderstood

[next timber]

any clue how to check the current deck type then?

[heady siren]

I'm not really sure what you actually want to do, so

[next timber]

check if its a vanilla deck so i can return false in in_pool to stop it spawning in vanilla decks

i want my suit to only spawn in specific decks

[last sentinel]

What would be a function to call in context.discard to trigger cards with gold_seals when they're discarded?

[next timber]

figured it out, i'm checking if a table of the decks i want it to spawn in contains G.GAME.selected_back.name

can't wait to get the first version of my mod out, i wanna try modding Scoundrel into balatro after

[digital niche]

ok ive seen most of how to do the mods, but where do i actually make the mod (like, the code part)

[sonic cedar]

Atom One Dark Theme

(vscode)

[digital niche]

wait does vscode have compatibility with lua?

didnt know bout that

[sonic cedar]

lua extension

[digital niche]

oooh

totally forgot about extensions

[thin anchor]

is this right

[red flower]

no, the last "trigger=after" shouldnt be there

also please don't spaghetti code and put stuff in different lines

[thin anchor]

ok

[next timber]

how do i use a custom suit's text colour in a loc txt?

[digital niche]

this?

[heady siren]

Decided to actually post my mod in #1209506514763522108, first time I've actually like, publicized a mod I've made

[zealous glen]

Integrated the effect with calculation. It seems to handle card destruction well enough; I wonder if it needs more safeguards, but it seems functional for now.

I wonder how to handle pop-up messages.

[digital niche]

how does mod compatibility work? cause i have looked over some mods files and neither cryptid or sleeves mod have the custom sleeves assets but it shows up ingame for some reason?

[zealous glen]

Anyways, the Red King

[zealous glen]

@tepid crow

[tepid crow]

are you looking for the cryptid sleeve assets?

you can find them here https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Cryptid/blob/main/assets/2x/atlasSleeves.png

in short, CardSleeves defines the API to use, and Cryptid provides the effects/assets

[tepid crow]

Thanks for tagging me on a question actually relevant to my mod and not someone else's 😭

[rancid bridge]

how would i make it so that the steel card multiplier changes from x1.5 to x2...

[daring fern]

You could take ownership of it.

[rancid bridge]

take ownership...

how would i do that

[rancid bridge]

yeah how would i do that
i'm a bit new to modding but i'm just trying to do the best ideas i can without caring about how much lua experience i have

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation#taking-ownership

[digital niche]

oooh, i wasnt seeing it in the files, tyty!

[daring fern]

Try this ```lua
SMODS.Enhancement:take_ownership('m_steel',
{
update = function(self, card, dt)
if #SMODS.find_card('jokerkey') > 0 then
card.ability.h_x_mult = 2
else
card.ability.h_x_mult = 1.5
end
end
},
true
)

I haven't tested it though.

[thin anchor]

how would i add a little info window about an enhancement?

[daring fern]

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.key

Replacing key with the key of the object.

[rancid bridge]

where would i put this

[daring fern]

At the top or something.

Of all the code.

[rancid bridge]

so do i need a calculate function or

[daring fern]

You shouldn't.

[digital niche]

do i neeed to add lovely to the "dependencies" part?

[rancid bridge]

what about the config or loc_vars

[daring fern]

No, because you can't run mods without lovely.

[digital niche]

okok, ty!

did i do something wrong? just to be sure

[zealous glen]

Oops next time I’ll remember to tag you when Paperback is mentioned

[tepid crow]

no trailing comma here ], for proper JSON

[rancid bridge]

i am thinking i probably don't need those but I'm Not So Sure

[daring fern]

You should be able to keep those.

[rancid bridge]

oh okay

[limber blaze]

is there any good way to include a raw plaintext "#" in localisation text

[digital niche]

okok, so just that or anything else?

[tepid crow]

No 😭

[thin anchor]

in config?

[tepid crow]

Everything else seems fine at first glance

[digital niche]

okok! tyy

[daring fern]

In loc_vars

[thin anchor]

ok

[rancid bridge]

i always do one thing wrong

i think i just forgot a "then"

[red flower]

not pretty but you can return "#" in loc_vars

[limber blaze]

makes sense

[thin anchor]

?

[rancid bridge]

i always do TWO things wrong

[daring fern]

No, it should be outside of the return statement.

[thin anchor]

ok ok

[rancid bridge]

what do you want smods.

[daring fern]

Also you need to put G.P_CENTERS.m_prefix_redbulls

[rancid bridge]

WHAT?!?!??!? WHAT IS WRONG?!??!?!!?
JUST TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!
