"." instead of ":"

[red flower]

yeah

[rugged pier]

this would be in my main mod file, not in the joker file yes?

[red flower]

correct

[digital niche]

how can i do it so in the text it says how many rounds the card havve left?

[red flower]

i mean you can put it in any file as long as is not inside an object

[rugged pier]

gotcha

and the normal contexts still apply within in

[red flower]

no

[rugged pier]

like if i need to check if a joker is owned

oh

[red flower]

context is not passed to that function but you can still use SMODS.find_card

[digital niche]

is there a way to get more discards with debugplus

?

[red flower]

press tab

[digital niche]

tyty

[rugged pier]

so i can couple this with G.jokers.cards

and check for an ability name

[minor furnace]

is it time for me to lock in and figure out how to force disable other mod's content while my specific challenge is active?

[red flower]

yeah

[red flower]

isnt it just passing the keys to the restrictions? i think lobcorp does that for other mods

[modern kindle]

Hi besties

[rugged pier]

where is the documentation for this stuff

[slender bay]

Queens score again after scoring is totaled and carries over, I have no clue what's going wrong

[minor furnace]

passing which keys?

[red flower]

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

[rugged pier]

awesome

[red flower]

the keys for the jokers, consumables, etc

[minor furnace]

oh wait

I totally did not see G.GAME.banned_keys

[minor furnace]

does this not require you to provide the specific key of every single thing? Which I can't do if I don't know what mods people may or may not have downloaded

[azure pilot]

How do configs work? If I update a mod.config property, does it stay that way permanently, like between turning off and on the game? How would I reset the config then?

[minor furnace]

maybe I can dynamically add it to the table at runtime based on the list of mods detected?

[orchid thunder]

Why is the game not finding the global variable i made in G.GAME via lovly patch

[rugged pier]

shouldnt this return a table with the joker thats in my possession?

[red flower]

i think it doesnt care if you dont have it, but if not then you can do a check to see if the mod is loaded and add it

[wintry solar]

j_csmr_edgard

[rugged pier]

thank you

[digital niche]

what did i do wrong here?

[stark geode]

i feel like my mod devloping is going pretty good

[rapid stag]

∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ⎓ꖎ⚍𝙹∷╎↸ᒷ

[minor furnace]

the intention is to disable all modded content that isn't my own for the specific challenge

[stark geode]

i just dont quite know where to go

when do i stop

[rugged pier]

okay this works, how do i check if the count is > 0 for this

#SMODS.find_Card() > 0

?

[red flower]

hmm then you might need to do it dynamically yeah
but i feel like thats a bit of a fool's errand because mods can add other stuff outside of objects lol

[red flower]

yes, or next(SMODS.find_card("key")) is a bit more efficient

[rugged pier]

he can check for consumables and jokers that come from outside his mod and disable those specifically right

[minor furnace]

fair point

[rugged pier]

so it would be if next(SMODS.find_card("key")) > 0 then

[stark geode]

you coul make is so the challenge only works if it is the only mod running

[rugged pier]

awesome

[red flower]

without the > 0

[rugged pier]

oh cool

[digital niche]

whhat is wrong here?

[stark geode]

what are you trying to do

[heady siren]

Not card.ability.extra, one of the variables you set in the config = {extra = {}} table, you just prefix it with card.ability.extra.yourvariablehere

[orchid thunder]

its card.ability.extra.(name of variable in configs table here)

[red flower]

i feel like it would be easier to make it so that only your cards spawn in the shop instead

[heady siren]

I was using card.ability.extra. as a placeholder because I thought you were aware of how card variables work

[red flower]

by patching create_card or get_current_pool

[digital niche]

in configs table i only have "h_x_mult = 3"

[digital niche]

a card that after 3 times being triggered is destroyed

[rugged pier]

local set_base_balatro = Card.set_base
Card.set_base = function(self, card, initial)
    if next(SMODS.find_card('j_csmr_tensoon')) then
        local tensoon = SMODS.find_card('j_csmr_tensoon')
        tensoon.ability.extra.mult = tensoon.ability.extra.mult + tensoon.ability.extra.mult_mod
    end
    local ret = set_base_balatro(self, card, initial)
    return ret
end

would this work, the local tensoon = SMODS.find_card('j_csmr_tensoon') part

[chrome widget]

What's the best place to put some kind of globally updating or random variable?

[heady siren]

Make a new variable that stores the card uses in the config = {extra = {here}} table

[chrome widget]

Sorry, to clarify, I need an update loop independent of any jokers

[digital niche]

then i use this variable intead of card.ability.extra right?

[minor furnace]

that would probably be the best way to do it. I'd been messing around with hooking get_current_pool() and trying to remove anything that didn't have my mod's key, so I might keep trying to figure out if that's the way to do it or if there's a better implementation

[heady siren]

If you don't have an extra = {here} table then make it in the config table

[heady siren]

Add .yourvariablehere at the end of card.ability.extra

[rugged pier]

would this not remove base game content?

[red flower]

no, SMODS.find_card('j_csmr_tensoon') is a list so you need to iterate through it

also I think it's more convenient if you make a context and then check on those jokers calculate
SMODS.calculate_context{csmr_changed_base = true, card = self}

[minor furnace]

anything that doesn't have my mod's key, or doesn't appear in the base game*

[digital niche]

like that?

[red flower]

thats what i did initially for the config option i had to remove all other jokers except my mod's

[heady siren]

Set uses to zero, it isn't currently a number, so it'll try to add 1 to nil and crash

So it'd be {uses = 0}

[digital niche]

ooh okok

[rugged pier]

you can create contexts? sorry ik im asking a bunch of questions here

[red flower]

yes

[rugged pier]

how does one do that now

[digital niche]

and then i take out that "card.ability.extra.uses = 0"?

[heady siren]

Also, remove the curly brackets on the card.ability.extra.uses = {card.ability.extra.uses + 1}

[red flower]

like i wrote in that message

[digital niche]

okok

[rugged pier]

you can just initiate it as 3 then reduce it

[rugged pier]

oh cool i thought id have to define it somewhere else first

[heady siren]

If you kept the card.ability.extra.uses = 0 then it would constantly be resetting itself to zero any time the game calculates anything

[digital niche]

oh okok, ty!

[tired skiff]

my first joker

[heady siren]

Duck star

[tired skiff]

yes

[digital niche]

how would i do that?

oh just change from + to - ofc

[heady siren]

config = {extra = {uses = 3}}

card.ability.extra.uses = card.ability.extra.uses - 1

[tired skiff]

any feedback on it?

[heady siren]

if card.ability.extra.uses == 0 then
card:remove()
end

[digital niche]

do you also know how i can make the uses show up in the text?

[heady siren]

Looks pretty damn good, especially the planet below

[tired skiff]

first time using aseprite

i think i have done good

[digital niche]

thats so cool!!

[heady siren]

Add card.ability.extra.uses to the loc_vars return table, and then use #1# in the description to show that variable in text

[tired skiff]

ty ty :3

[digital niche]

wait i dont have a loc_vars in here, do i just add itt under the loc_txt?

[rugged pier]

So i use this where my comment is?

local set_base_balatro = Card.set_base
Card.set_base = function(self, card, initial)
    if next(SMODS.find_card('j_csmr_tensoon')) then
        --Need to increment the mult here by mult_mod that exists within the joker's ability.extra.mult_mod
    end
    local ret = set_base_balatro(self, card, initial)
    return ret
end

[heady siren]

loc_vars should look like this underneath the config line

[digital niche]

oh okok, ty!

[heady siren]

But replace card.ability.extra.mult with card.ability.extra.uses

[brazen tusk]

if im putting custom sounds in do i just need SMODS.Sound:register_global() in my main lua or is there more i have to do to set it up?

[minor furnace]

apparently, get_current_pool() does not apply to booster packs

[heady siren]

To show the held mult you can also add card.ability.h_x_mult to the vars table and then show that with #2# if it's the second variable

[digital niche]

oh i was using {X:mult,C:white}X2{} mult

[rugged pier]

oh i get it, so i set the context to true and then check for if context.csmr_change_base in my joker right?

[minor furnace]

it handles tags, vouchers, jokers, planets, tarots, spectrals, seals

[rugged pier]

@red flower

[heady siren]

I'd make it a variable so that it's compatible with modded jokers that can increase card values

Or if you wanna somehow modify the card as it degrades in uses you could do that

Hell maybe even upgrade it with uses

[digital niche]

oooh thats true

[minor furnace]

I need get_pack() it seems

[digital niche]

like that?

[digital niche]

should i make the same for odds of something?

[rugged pier]

Is this how i would it? or would i put the mult mod in an update function within the joker?

[willow void]

how do i code a variable that can be tracked between context.before and context.joker_main? i have a condition in before that if returned it want it to score in jokermain

i would post code but im on break at work lol

[red flower]

you dont need to check for your joker in the hook
and you dont need calculate_context in your joker

that would probably cause an infinite loop

[rugged pier]

okay i removed the joker check in hook but how would i add the mult_mod in my joker?

[red flower]

just store it in the ability table and clear it after you use it

[red flower]

what you did was correct except for the calculate_context line

[rugged pier]

i dont have to set the context to false anymore?

[red flower]

no

[willow void]

could you pseudocode or break this down for me lol i am just a baby at this

[violet oasis]

I managed to change background music based on current deck using SMODS.Sound, but how would I got about changing background color as well? I don't need to change the shader effect, I just need to be able to change the color based on current deck. As far as I know you can use ease_background_colour on SMODS.Booster, but I'm not sure how to apply that to decks.

[brazen tusk]

you could do smth like this to set them up outside the calculate

[heady siren]

No, don't put the variables in parenthesis, put a comma between them

[brazen tusk]

if thats what you are talking about

[heady siren]

That's not how tables work in lua

[sturdy compass]

@rapid stag Hey I almost got it working

[digital niche]

oh okok

[rugged pier]

just so i understand this correctly for future

*Game event when suit or rank changes
*My context is set to true
*My joker automatically updates (but it doesnt need to be in update instead of calculate
*my context is automatically set to false until the game event where suit or rank changes?

[red flower]

if context.before then
   card.ability.extra.active = true
end
if context.joker_main and card.ability.extra.active then
   card.ability.extra.active = false
end

[digital niche]

so vars = card.ability.extra.variable

?

[sturdy compass]

I just need to figure out how to get it to not trigger on played cards

[willow void]

tysm!!!!!!!!!

[heady siren]

vars = {variable1, variable2, variable3, etc...}

[rapid stag]

i see

[digital niche]

okok, ty!

[red flower]

the way calculate context works is that it calls all the calculate functions with what's inside that table, the table gets deleted after it's done so you don't have to set it to false or anything

[iron mantle]

Does anyone know how you would communicate between a lovely patch and the smods code? i.e. I have a psuedorandom condition in a lovely patch and want to know when that corresponding code runs so I can have the joker do something else if it ran?

[rugged pier]

inside what table exactly, since i havent passed any table in "SMODS.calculate_context{csmr_changed_base = true, card = self}"

[red flower]

{csmr_changed_base = true, card = self} is a table

[heady siren]

Odds should be listed like this, and should be calculated like this

[rugged pier]

so it automatically goes to whichever calculate funtion calls upon that context checking whether its true?

[digital niche]

oh okok, ty

[red flower]

it goes to all of them, it's just that the rest ignore it unless they have the check or they are coded wrong

[rugged pier]

gotcha okay so as long as my others dont use that context they wont trigger randomaly

okay this helps, thanks a lot!

[ancient gorge]

How can i get the numbers of cards in hand in calculate

[red flower]

you can have a context run when the check passes

[digital niche]

in the (G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1), this 1 should be changed depending of the odd or?

[iron mantle]

Sorry, could you elaborate a bit more on this? What does "having a context run" look like/mean in this scenario?

[heady siren]

G.GAME.probabilities.normal is just the 1 you see in every odds card, and it turns into a 2 if you have Oops All 6s, so the 1 in code is just there in case the game can't find the G.GAME.probabilities.normal variable, your odds should be the odds variable inside the extra table

[rugged pier]

can this break the main file from loading in?

[digital niche]

okok, ty!

[red flower]

SMODS.calculate_context{name_of_your_context = true}
and then in you joker you check for context.name_of_your_context

[iron mantle]

does this imply it can be a custom context that is defined on the spot?

[red flower]

yes

[iron mantle]

I see, thank you!

[red flower]

i usually give my contexts my mod's prefix so they dont conflict with other mods tho

[sturdy compass]

Anyone happen to know how to get the card object an SMODS seal is on?

[minor furnace]

I've hooked out modded booster packs for my challenge now 🫡

    if G.GAME.challenge == "c_reverse_trial" then
        local ret = pack_hook(_key, _type)
        while ret.mod do
            if ret.mod.id ~= "reverse_tarot" then
                print(ret.mod.id)
                ret = pack_hook(_key, _type)
            else
                break
            end
        end
    else
        ret = pack_hook(_key, _type)
    end
    return ret
end```

[rugged pier]

okay its definitely my hook thats crashing the game on launch, like it starts for a second then crashed

[heady siren]

return ret won't be able to access the local ret = pack_hook(_key, _type) because it's one condition deeper than the return and thus the variable isn't defined

[rugged pier]

although idk what could be causing it

[minor furnace]

yk you're right I forgot about scope. I tested this before adding the challenge conditional

[digital niche]

so, i changed everything to be like this and

[red flower]

whats the crash log

[rugged pier]

second image here

i commented out my hook and tried to launch the game and it worked but obviously will not update the mult mod for my joker

@red flower

[heady siren]

The actual function should not have self, only the ret variable

[rugged pier]

okay let me try

[heady siren]

That's how I have it set up

[red flower]

it should because it doesn't have :

[rugged pier]

nope still

[digital niche]

im thinking the error is on the extra = {uses = 3}

[heady siren]

Please post a screenshot of where that is

[red flower]

do a check for

if G.hand then
  SMODS.calculate_context...
end

[rugged pier]

within the hook?

[red flower]

i think its because of the cards in the title screen

[red flower]

yes

[rugged pier]

ahhhh

[digital niche]

the error was in the line with the return { vars = {card.ability.extra.h_x_mult, (G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1), card.ability.extra.odds}}

[heady siren]

odds is an extra variable

[digital niche]

ooh, so extra = {odds = 3}?

[heady siren]

It should not be in config = {here}, it should be in config = {extra = {here}}

Notice that you're referencing card.ability.extra.odds but you didn't put odds in the extra table, so it's not in card.ability.extra.odds

That's where the game gets confused

[digital niche]

ooooh, didnt realize

now i got another crash but on line 407

[heady siren]

What's on line 407?

[heady siren]

You have two periods at the end of it

[digital niche]

no thats just when i press backspace and type nothing it shows up for some reason

but id doesnt affect in the code, there are some in different places and nothing happenes

[heady siren]

Also what are you doing here? You need an end for the first if statement

You only have an end for the second one

[digital niche]

thought it was 1 end for both

[heady siren]

No, those are two separate statements

[red flower]

yeah thats just telling you you have trailing whitespace

[heady siren]

Also you need to put the context.ability.extra.uses if statement inside of the context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.hand if statement

[digital niche]

i still get the crash after adding the end

[digital niche]

oh okok

[heady siren]

That's not the crash problem specifically but it would crash if you didn't fix that part too

Is the crash actually referencing the lua file you're currently in?

[digital niche]

so if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea and context.ability.extra.uses?

[tall salmon]

I'm trying to render a sprite on playing cards whenever you have a specific joker, does anyone know a mod that does something similar I could look at?

[digital niche]

yeah i only have that file yet

[heady siren]

No

[digital niche]

then how?

[heady siren]

Does it actually say your lua file in the crash screen?

[digital niche]

yeah

[heady siren]

Alright, just making sure

[digital niche]

how do i do it?

[heady siren]

Okay I'm actually getting annoyed at this point, please go take a crash course on how lua works

[rugged pier]

okay this worked but now for some reason it added 384 mult when i used strength 💀

[heady siren]

Put in a print to see how many times it's triggering the context

[next timber]

how come when i try to access a card's ability.seal values in the seal's loc_vars, it returns the default values from the config? is there a way to access its actual values?

[red flower]

lol maybe it's called in more places than i thought it was

[rugged pier]

okay i think at the start of the game

it calls the hand thing

which is what causes the mult to be increased

i think i can just add another condition

to see if a run is ongoing

maybe that will fix

[red flower]

yeah it probably calls it when setting up the deck

[chrome widget]

For some reason I'm getting crashes trying to view editions in the collection?

[heady siren]

Do you have an update function for your edition?

If you have an edition

[south lintel]

what should I use to increase the sell value of a joker? I wanted to copy the code from Egg but I can't seem to make it work

[chrome widget]

I've removed all functions from it

[heady siren]

Not the problem I'm used to then

[chrome widget]

My DebugPlus is also crashing whenever I try to manually discover an edition

But not if the edition has been discovered by other means

[rugged pier]

context.using_consumeable using this in joker should fix it i think?

let me try

[rugged pier]

same

its a few types of things that dont work

editions is one of them

[rugged pier]

nvm this makes it so it didnt even trigger

[gleaming zealot]

transgender woman on my screen

[next timber]

for seals, the card argument in loc_vars is a fake card made using the config data, is there any way to access the actual card's current data?

[brazen tusk]

anyone know how custom sounds work? i've tried looking at the documentation but it keeps saying the sound doesn't exist in the default file (bc it doesn't)

[reef nymph]

Ooc how hard 1-10 is a balatro mod to make? I just had an AMAZING idea for a mod but idk what to expect. Ive coded games before, done minecraft, terraria, and and ror2 mods for reference.

[gleaming zealot]

lua is confuzzling

[brazen tusk]

i'd say its fairly easy to pick up and make smth simple, just takes time to learn more complicated stuff bc the documentation isnt that extensive

[next timber]

in some areas its super simple, in others it makes you want to tear your hair out in why is this simple concept so complicated to implement

[brazen tusk]

real

[reef nymph]

Ahhh yikes the idea I had was super complicated

[next timber]

whats ur idea

[gleaming zealot]

i mean i have an idea for a mod but im lazymaxxing

[reef nymph]

Co-op mod.

[next timber]

multiplayer mod exists, so theres a possibility there

[reef nymph]

Theres a multiplayer race mod to my knowledge

[reef nymph]

but Co-op is much funnier

[rugged pier]

context.hand_drawn does this context get triggered even when you open an arcana pack?

[minor furnace]

love the Ace of Standard Packs!

[digital niche]

can someone tell me what to change here pls?

[limber blaze]

i really should stop define from working on playing cards but i wanna make this work cause its so funny

define fyi:

[south lintel]

well I don't know what I'm doing wrong but it's definitely wrong, the game crashes with "attempt to index field 'ability' (a nil value)"

[brazen tusk]

you need to set up the variable, lemme send my whole thing so you have an example

[rugged pier]

did you add it to ability?

should be in ability.extra

[grizzled jackal]

Hello, I'm very new to modding as a whole, and am currently trying my hand at modding balatro. How would I make a joker that turns played face cards into stone, and one that turns stone cards into random face cards?

[rapid stag]

if you remove the first message = localize('k_again_ex'), you run into my problem where it does the message and then the two triggers

so i think we're approaching this from slightly the wrong angle since there's clearly a message = localize('k_again_ex') somewhere in the pipeline that we're not looking at

[tall salmon]

bump

[rugged pier]

okay so it adds 194 mult per consumable that is added to consumable slot

[south lintel]

yeah I'm really not sure what exactly I'm getting wrong here

[reef belfry]

What obscure reference should i turn into a joker next

[rugged pier]

actually its a random value everytime

[tall salmon]

great art

[brazen tusk]

dont need the config in there because of how you are doing it

[rugged pier]

?

[brazen tusk]

mb forgot to reply

[brazen tusk]

dont need the config in there bc of how you are doing it and use card instead of self on the self.ability parts

does anyone know why G.hand is being called when a consumable card goes into your consumable area? I want this to only trigger when a rank or suit is changed (but also not trigger twice if both are changed)

would it be a bad idea to patch generate_card_ui to include the card's actual data for tooltips instead of the fake table?

[rapid stag]

appears to be the default

[stiff locust]

i see

[thin anchor]

where is the deck code located

[digital niche]

is there something wrong in here? its crashing the game in line 20 (the "vars" one

[rapid stag]

target = '''=[SMODS [TARGET MOD ID HERE (If it's Steamodded itself, do _ instead)] "[TARGET SCRIPT FILEPATH HERE]"]'''

[heady siren]

It's not do return end it's just return

[digital niche]

oh, didnt even see that, tyty

[heady siren]

Also it's not return() it's return {}

And it's not p_dollars it's card.ability.extra.p_dollars

Also you need to put p_dollars into the extra table

You should also replace 'lucky' with a different identifier specifically for the joker / enhancement

[digital niche]

in the "return" part right?

[heady siren]

Also you do return {dollars = card.ability.extra.p_dollars} not return {p_dollars == 20}, you also you == to test if statement conditions, not to set variables, that's just a single =

Again, you should go watch / read a crash course on lua

[digital niche]

god i did do a lot wrong

[heady siren]

This is why I'm suggesting that, you are getting basic syntax completely wrong without even knowing it

Nothing will work if you don't know the very fundumentals of lua, we aren't here to teach you how lua coding works, we're here to help you with Balatro coding

[heady siren]

Also bump

[digital niche]

no yeah so far everything was turning out ok and working just now things started going bad, i was doing things right most of the time

[fringe gyro]

okay, so i finished(probably not) the code and art for my joker, i did the .lua file, and the .json file, but it's not showing up in Balatro. the collection doesn't include the joker and the Mods tab doesn't show any mods installed. Is there something wrong with my .json file?

[heady siren]

Are you on the most recent version of SMODS?

[fringe gyro]

i mean maybe? all my other mods were working fine, i just moved them all(sans SMODS) out of the mods folder to test mine

[heady siren]

Well those mods are made for that version of SMODS

If you're on an older version you may have to use the header instead of the json

[fringe gyro]

okay, lemme try that, will report back

[heady siren]

This is what a header looks like, your mod won't even register otherwise

[spiral crown]

can anyone tell me why the joker isn't scoring or costing money?

[heady siren]

It's just chips not chip_mod, and it's dollars not money_mod

[fringe gyro]

ohh okay, so if i install the newest version of SMODS it should work though?

[heady siren]

mult_mod is the only one that uses _mod

[marble flint]

also, for the Event, it's func instead of mock

[digital niche]

when i put a single = i get 7 errors

[heady siren]

It should, you may have to update all of your other installed mods

[heady siren]

What are the errors?

[digital niche]

most "should use == for equal"

[heady siren]

If you do == it treats it as a condition instead of setting a variable, so it'll return true or false

[fringe gyro]

is it the 1.0.0 beta (0323b)?

[heady siren]

Whichever one is the most recent, I don't know which one specifically

[fringe gyro]

oh okay

[digital niche]

then what should i do? if i use only 1 get errors, if i use 2 it wont work

[fringe gyro]

i just wanted to make sure it was supposed to say beta

[marble flint]

change the parentheses () to braces {}

[heady siren]

Send a screenshot of your code please

[digital niche]

its already braces

[heady siren]

You don't put card.ability.extra. into the extra table

It's trying to reference itself

And if it doesn't exist, it can't do that

The card.ability.extra. is referencing the value inside the config = {extra = {}} table

[spiral crown]

thank you @heady siren @marble flint could you explain why it only scores the chips?

[digital niche]

so its config = {extra = {p_dollars = 20}}

[marble flint]

try mult instead of mult_mod?

[heady siren]

Yes, like I said a while ago

[heady siren]

I believe mult will set the mult instead of add to it, but you can try that

[marble flint]

mult, h_mult, and mult_mod should all do the same thing (except mult_mod doesn't automatically add the message)

[fringe gyro]

i got the new version of SMODS installed but it still isn't showing up. could i put my .json file here so you can check and make sure i did it right?

[spiral crown]

that worked! thank you, weird since the example mods had mult_mod but I appreciate it

[stark geode]

made a smods port for the bu lang

[marble flint]

does mult_mod work just without showing the popup/message? just out of curiosity

[heady siren]

Ah, that's the problem, it was adding mult, it just wasn't showing the message

So it didn't look like it was adding the mult

[spiral crown]

Ill do a quick check

[heady siren]

I forgot that I added the message manually

[spiral crown]

seems I actually want to use Message instead of teh event manager as well

[stark geode]

@regal wolf the bu language mod doesn't work with smods so i slapped this together so i can use it, idk what you want to do with it

[spiral crown]

Want "Dunce!" to pop up below the card when exiting a shop lol

[tired skiff]

2 questions
what is m_wild and what is context.other_card.gambling

[manic rune]

brah

[tired skiff]

oh cola

the person im looking for

in extra credit mod there is a joker called luck 7 that makes 7 act as lucky cards
im trying to do that with queens but make them wild

[manic rune]

thats quantum enhancement

haven't used it before though, u can try referencing their code

[rugged pier]

bump

question about how consumables behave when they are added to your card area^

[tired skiff]

what is a quantum enhancment mean?

[manic rune]

allowing cards to "have" another enhancement

so like, you can technically get a card with all enhancement in the game

[stark geode]

so they either do or dont have the enhanment until observed

well

scored in this case

[manic rune]

its undocumented so u dont know unless u try it

-# i didnt

:p

[stark geode]

im not messing with thatither

[rugged pier]

its documented

[manic rune]

yeah but thats vague

[rugged pier]

you could say that about everything in smods

lol

[stark geode]

welcome to the smods docs

[manic rune]

doesn't really tell u how to apply enhancement now does it

i will argue that most of them do a pretty good job 😭

[stark geode]

ehhhh

well ig the main problem is the source code has no docs

[rugged pier]

true

[stark geode]

curse you

[rugged pier]

which brings me to bumping this again

[thin anchor]

how would you create a random spectral card?

[digital niche]

i accidentaly have overwrite all my code, i went from 380 lines to 70

[digital niche]

is there a way to undo it?

[thin anchor]

ahh...

[stark geode]

SMODS.add_card({key='Spectral'})

[spiral crown]

okay I think I'm close here attempting to have "Dunce!" appear below the card upon the trigger message appears to use variables in the source code so I tried building a string to call but get "Error" instead of the intended text I also tried directly entering a string into the message and that didn't work either can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

[stark geode]

anyone got docs for how the joker return works

[rugged pier]

localize () look at a file in your localization folder

[digital niche]

???

[spiral crown]

So if I remove localize it should function as intended?

[rugged pier]

undo you overwriting your code?

[digital niche]

yes

[rugged pier]

just ctrl z idk

[digital niche]

already tried

[rugged pier]

say goodbye to your work then unless you have a version history

[digital niche]

im not remaking everything, i give up modding

[rugged pier]

just do
message = "Dunce!"
message_card = cardyouwantthemessagetoappearon

^it puts the message on the joker by default

[tall salmon]

does anyone know how to get rid of the floating copy of the sprite?

the one that isn't tilting with the card

[thin anchor]

[spiral crown]

Thats actually what I wanted, Thank you!

[tall salmon]

balatro font coding what in the heck

[thin anchor]

yes

[buoyant merlin]

You can just put a string as the message, localize takes from your localization file (if you have one) and displays ERROR if it can't find anything

[modest iris]

can someone help me with somethign quick? i don't think im using patches correctly. here is the patch for a voucher that i want to create

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = 'card.lua'
pattern = 'local seal_rate = 10'
position = "at"
match_indent = true
payload = '''
local seal_rate = 10
if G.GAME.used_vouchers and G.GAME.used_vouchers["v_rob_seal_the_deal"] then
    print("Voucher active:", G.GAME.used_vouchers['v_rob_seal_the_deal'])
    seal_rate = seal_rate * SMODS.Centers["v_rob_seal_the_deal"].config.extra
end
print("Seal Rate:", seal_rate)
'''

this is the voucher:

SMODS.Voucher{
    key = "seal_the_deal",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Seal the Deal",
        text = {
            "Cards with {C:attention}Seals{} appear",
            "{C:attention}#1#X{} more frequently",
            "in all card packs"
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Vouchers',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    cost = 10,
    config = {
        extra = 5 
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue)
        return {vars = {self.config.extra}}
    end
}

why don't i get any messages from prints and why isn't the probability that cards in packs have a seal 100%? i put 5 extra to get 100% probability for debugging

[spiral crown]

got it, thanks!

[stark geode]

I just walked away from my PC lol

[thin anchor]

o

[stark geode]

Check the pna code of my mod

Perkolator

In the mods thread thing

[thin anchor]

ok

[stark geode]

It should be in jokers.lua

[stark geode]

Actually it's perkmentia

That's the one that has it

[thin anchor]

[stark geode]

Ironic that I forgot

[thin anchor]

sad face

[tired skiff]

how do local thunks work

and no im not talking about the person local thunk

[stark geode]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1354280420295839835

[thin anchor]

yay

[stark geode]

local consumable_types = {'Tarot','Spectral','Planet'}
                        SMODS.add_card({set =  pseudorandom_element(consumable_types, pseudoseed('Perkmentia')), area = G.consumeables, edition = 'e_negative' })
                        SMODS.add_card({set =  pseudorandom_element(consumable_types, pseudoseed('Perkmentia')), area = G.consumeables, edition = 'e_negative' })

so it uses that

but

[rich dragon]

hey there, im trying to learn lua coding, does anyone have a video they watched that helped

[fringe gyro]

so my mod still isn't showing up in the mods tab in-game, even after updating SMODS. Could it be something wrong with my .JSON

[stark geode]

how do i get this "new" tag to go away

[limber blaze]

finally "fully" done with #define

[fringe gyro]

i think you have to be in the server for a certain amount of time

[stark geode]

bruhhhh

[fringe gyro]

ikk it's so dumb lol

[stark geode]

i havent been here long but i feel like i fit in already

[fringe gyro]

oh absolutely

[stark geode]

-# just another idot fumbling around

[fringe gyro]

almost all of my talking has been here

[stark geode]

what even is playing balatro

[fringe gyro]

stg, i have not even played balatro all weekend, i've just been working on this mod XD

btw, for some reason it's not showing in the mods tab in balatro, any ideas?

[stark geode]

your mod?

lemme see your files

[fringe gyro]

yeah

[stark geode]

a screenshot or smth

[fringe gyro]

i'm very sure the code for the function of the joker is wrong

[stark geode]

well i need to check somthing first

[stark geode]

huh

what joker you think is causing this

[reef belfry]

Should i bump up the rarity

[fringe gyro]

i only have one joker in the mod

[stark geode]

thats fine

[fringe gyro]

this is the entire mod

oh shit nevermind

[stark geode]

???

what was wrong

because the joker is fine

[fringe gyro]

i had a comment header on my .json and that was caausing it to not show up

[stark geode]

that would do it

[fringe gyro]

yeah

now it's crashing on open, but i can debug it myself

./i'm going to stare at it for 5 minutes then come back for help when i can't

[stark geode]

lol

[twilit cargo]

real asf

[manic rune]

good morning chat

[thin anchor]

good evening

[manic rune]

good afternoon

[red flower]

good night

[manic rune]

goodbye

[fringe gyro]

hey so you know how i said i would stare at the problem for 5 minutes and come back?

[stark geode]

"i'm" is not an operable bash file

[fringe gyro]

has it been 5 minutes yet?

[fringe gyro]

XD

[stark geode]

no

its been 3

or 4

i cant count

[fringe gyro]

it's saying i'm missing a } on a line but i looked and from what i see i'm not missing anything

[stark geode]

you know the drill

code

[fringe gyro]

ya one sec

[stark geode]

now

[reef belfry]

This is such a niche reference that 7 people would get

Im gonna go learn how to make an animated joker

[stark geode]

lemme see the err msg

[stark geode]

you can look at jimball from cryptid

[buoyant merlin]

There's a comma missing in loc_txt
Third description line

[stark geode]

lmao

[fringe gyro]

thank you

[stark geode]

when you send code can you send it in text form

[fringe gyro]

it didn't fix it, but it probably would have messed something up down the line

[stark geode]

so i can plop it into vs

[fringe gyro]

oh yeah fsfs

    ```

[stark geode]

atlas is missing a comma

[buoyant merlin]

Last line in a table doesn't need a comma

[fringe gyro]

yeah, i basically copy/pasted that part in

if that's the part that's messed up, i'm gonna cry XD

[buoyant merlin]

Um what about that for loop down there? I'm not sure that's valid lua code, since its in a table

[stark geode]

where tf is yor calculate function

[stark geode]

this

[buoyant merlin]

You could try commenting it out for now

And see if it works

[fringe gyro]

yeah i was asking for someone to help me with that a few hours ago but no one helped and idk Lua language

how comment in Lua?

[buoyant merlin]

--

Before a line

Errr to the left of one

So like

--Example
normal.code()

[fringe gyro]

commented it out but it didn't help

[buoyant merlin]

What parts did you comment out?

It should be all lines from the for loop to the last end

[stark geode]

also your for loop wont work

they dont work like python

[fringe gyro]

    pos = { x = 0, y = 0},
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.Xmult } }

    --    for "E" in text do
    --mult =+3
    --end
--end
}
    ```

it still doesn't work

[stark geode]

you need to add a calculate value to your joker

[buoyant merlin]

Is calculate really required?

[fringe gyro]

how?

also would that cause the error i'm getting?

[stark geode]

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'PerkOlator',
    atlas = 'jokers',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},

        --calulate part
    calculate = function (self,card,context)
        if context.ending_shop then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                        SMODS.add_card({key='j_perkeo', edition='e_negative'})
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                    return true
                end
            }))
            return {
                message = "Perkeo!",
                colour = HEX('56a786')
            }
        end
    end

}

no

[buoyant merlin]

The most important part here is the function definition and the end

[buoyant merlin]

Random shot in the dark here but
Maybe the period in the name is messing things up?

[fringe gyro]

calculate instead of config?

[fringe gyro]

nah, still didn't fix

[buoyant merlin]

Ok so what if you temporarily commented loc_txt out since that's the part its erroring at

See if it runs

[fringe gyro]

also that for loop was given to me by someone here

and i copy/pasted it

[tired skiff]

what have i done wrong?

[buoyant merlin]

Most definitely for use in a calculate function

[fringe gyro]

still doesn't run

[buoyant merlin]

Is there a different error this time?

[fringe gyro]

nah, same one i'm pretty sure

[buoyant merlin]

Did you comment out loc_txt too

Since it still says loc_txt

[fringe gyro]

that's the one for this one up here

i disabled the atlas because i dont have the rest of the mod

[fringe gyro]

huh

okay

lemme try that ig

[buoyant merlin]

I was looking at this so closely and I thought there couldn't possibly any errors

[stark geode]

idk i just rearanged shit

Is your json file set up correctly?

[buoyant merlin]

You don't have steammodded as a dependency..... do you have steamodded installed?

[burnt lance]

Is there a way to quick restart balatro for new mod changes?

[stark geode]

press and hold m

[burnt lance]

Thanks

[stark geode]

make sure to click out of your test editor first

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[buoyant merlin]

Oh what you can do that

[buoyant merlin]

Microwave noises

[burnt lance]

Yup lol

I was trying to get these in lol.

[fringe gyro]

yeah i have it installed, should i have it listed as a dependancy?

[stark geode]

yes

[fringe gyro]

oh shit

okay

[stark geode]

your mod no worky without it

[fringe gyro]

how do?

[stark geode]

its not related to your error

[buoyant merlin]

Try replacing dependencies with

"dependencies": [
        "Steamodded (>=1.*)",
    ],

[stark geode]

im tempted to have you just send me your mod lol

[buoyant merlin]

It's worth a shot either way

[stark geode]

yeah

[buoyant merlin]

Who knows, maybe SMODS doesn't exist because no dependency

[fringe gyro]

didn't fix

i could just send over the files

[buoyant merlin]

Last shot: send the file

Yeah

[stark geode]

i mean i have a fix

i sent it

[radiant plank]

how do i make a joker perishable

[stark geode]

also what are you using to edit

[fringe gyro]

the only other file is in /assets and it's just my poorly done pixel art

notepad++

[stark geode]

switch to vs

it'll yell at you if your shit is wrong

[fringe gyro]

okay, one sec

let me port all my stuff over

actually i'm gponna do that after dinner

i'll be back

probably tonight

[stark geode]

well just use this for now

i need to stop using my mod to test other peoples mods

i should use my language pack mod insted

[sturdy compass]

We are cuz I’m doing it via take over while you’re doing it via hook

[rapid stag]

this is frustrating hhhhhhhhhhhh where is this happening, how is this happening
why is this happening

[sturdy compass]

Coding in a shellnut

[rapid stag]

it especially doesn't make sense because seemingly every other instance of message = localize('k_again_ex') could possibly be occurring anywhere in this sequence is either not for jokers or for specific jokers

[stark geode]

are you adding seal compat to jimbos?

[rapid stag]

so it especially doesn't make sense to me how something was able to solve it despite doing basically the same thing

[rapid stag]

i just wanna make red seals work on jokers

[stark geode]

jimbos

Ship it

[tall salmon]

bump

[stark geode]

code?

[stark geode]

you ever get it working

[thin anchor]

yes

[stark geode]

did my code help?

[thin anchor]

absolutely

[stark geode]

w

[thin anchor]

thank you i wouldve fucking died

like perish

[tall salmon]

local ss = Card.set_sprites --uh oh
function Card:set_sprites(_center, _front)
    ss(self,_center, _front)
    if _front then
        self.children.fossil = Sprite(self.T.x, self.T.y, self.T.w, self.T.h, G.ASSET_ATLAS["cards_2"], {x = 12,y = 3})
        self.children.fossil:set_role({major = self, role_type = 'Glued', draw_major = self})

            self.children.fossil:draw_shader(
                'negative'
            )
        end
    end
}

[stark geode]

what in the

[tall salmon]

smods docs are very barebones on drawing sprites

[stark geode]

what are you trying to do

[tall salmon]

display a sprite on top of stone cards when you have a specific joker

right now it's every card so it's easier to see

[stark geode]

i dont know enough about this

what mod devloping does to an mf

[tall salmon]

I've been looking at some other mods but none of them seem to do anything like this

[tall salmon]

yeah 100%

[sturdy compass]

Bump

[thin anchor]

enhanced

[fringe gyro]

what template should i use in VS?

so good news everyone!/sarc

i was editing the wrong damn file the whole time!!

i had a copy on my desktop and was editiing that one and not the one that's actually in my mods folder

i copied your solution to the right file and it worked perfectly

[sturdy compass]

masterful gambit

[fringe gyro]

Also, how do i make it to where i can see the joker in collectables without unlocking it?

also how do i get the names of the owned jokers in to a string?

[stiff locust]

i'm having a really strange bug right now with spectral packs

actually i should update steamodded before i complain about this
the steamodded update seems to have solved the problem

[stark geode]

Get debug plus

There's a menu that lets you unlock and discover jimbos

[tepid crow]

in the seal's calculate?

[sturdy compass]

yes

I unfortunately need to check what set the card is in to get the functionality I want. I'm trying to make seals compatible with Jokers

[tepid crow]

I'm confused, is the card arg in calculate(self, card, context) not the card object?

oh no, it's the seal

[dense adder]

does anyone know the call for the blinds base score

[tepid crow]

wait, is it??

I'm lost

[sturdy compass]

I believe it's actually the card currently being calculated, which for some reason is agnostic to the card it is applied to

[sturdy compass]

Here's my current implementation of it for Red Seals for a reference

[radiant plank]

how does one go about setting a config value for a joker at the time of its creation?

the value will be time dependent so it needs to be set when its created

[tepid crow]

do you mean get_blind_amount?

[sturdy compass]

maybe set_ability?

[dense adder]

maybe, this is the first time im trying to get make a joker based off of the blinds score

[tepid crow]

that or add_to_deck should probably work?

[radiant plank]

im still not sure where i would be calling this function from, all jokers ive created so far have their config values initialized in the call to SMODS.Joker

[tepid crow]

Ah. Maybe check out Mr Bones' code for that

[dense adder]

didnt think of that thanks

[tepid crow]

Honestly looks pretty close... Could this be a weird take_ownership interaction?

[rugged pier]

do you want the chips required for a blind?

[sturdy compass]

I sure hope not, I'd really like to do this without patches if possible jsut for compatibility's sake

[fringe gyro]

how do i do use debug plus to discover my joker?

[dense adder]

yep mr bones helped quite a bit i belive its G.Game.blind.chips

[tepid crow]

no, there's something weird with take_ownership and calculate

iirc

[tepid crow]

hold tab to see the debug menu

[rugged pier]

this is really cool

[fringe gyro]

o shit that's cool af

[rugged pier]

yup thats the one, i just implemented a joker like that today lol

[sturdy compass]

Also I just confirmed my theory of every card that gets calculated triggers the seal, as removing the context.other_card == card will retrigger every joker

Super odd

[rapid stag]

well this #💻・modding-dev message is with a calculate_seal() hook

and it's basically the same thing

[fringe gyro]

okay so i got my joker in the game! now the only thing left is to

code the joker

this is gonna suck cuz i have no idea how Lua works, so i'm gonna have to build this from scratch

[rapid stag]

lua is fun and intuitive except when it isn't

[rugged pier]

can someone help me take a look at how consumables and G.hand works

trying to use a hook for set_base

and its being affected by things...i didnt think would affect it

[rugged pier]

well, what kind of joker are you trying to create?

[burnt lance]

I finally got my first joker working successfully!

[tepid crow]

function Card:calculate_joker(context)
    local obj = self.config.center
    if self.ability.set ~= "Enhanced" and obj.calculate and type(obj.calculate) == 'function' then
        local o, t = obj:calculate(self, context)
        if o or t then return o, t end
    end

    <vanilla code>

judging by this code, maybe try returning an empty table?

[tepid crow]

or take a look at this code Nope provided, that also seemed promising

[sturdy compass]

I have no idea what I'm looking at here

[vocal cedar]

Why tf is discard_size a nil value here? line 241 is crashing every time? Did i set it up wrong

[tepid crow]

lovely dump of Card:calculate_joker in Card.lua

[tired skiff]

smart people help me out here

[fringe gyro]

how would i get the number for the amount of times a letter shows up in the name of jokers i own?

[sturdy compass]

I mean in terms of functionality

[tepid crow]

smods lovely patches that function to add support for :calculate; it is implemented in such a way that if :calculate exists but doesn't return anything, it falls back to vanilla behaviour

[sturdy compass]

Oh I see

[tepid crow]

so if you had a vanilla joker does something, and you use take_ownership to "overwrite" that behaviour using calculate, it doesn't always stop the vanilla behaviour

[sturdy compass]

So I'd return an empty table in the else?

[tepid crow]

yeah that was my suggestion

[sturdy compass]

gotcha

I'll give it a go

[tepid crow]

giving a line number doesn't help if you don't include the line numbers in your screenshot 😭

[fringe gyro]

anybody have any idea?

[vocal cedar]

OH lol

[sturdy compass]

Huh, same thing is happening here. I think the vanilla implementation of red seals just make it act like seltzer?

[vocal cedar]

third function

The “discard = discard minus discard size

[sturdy compass]

The order of events is exactly the same as the original video

[vocal cedar]

third event sorry

[tepid crow]

Huh, weird. Try Nope's code in that case then I guess

also wait

[tepid crow]

you don't always return {} with that code

not when the seal is on a joker

[tepid crow]

Did you try starting a new run?

[stark geode]

Id try to help you but I'm in bed lol

[sturdy compass]

So return in an else after the contexts instead of the set check?

oop wrong reply

[vocal cedar]

Oh. No

[sturdy compass]

Or am I misunderstanding that

[vocal cedar]

Let me@tru that

[tepid crow]

just make sure it always returns {}, so outside all the if checks

[sturdy compass]

ah ok

[fringe gyro]

oh damn, sorryyy

i should prolly get to bed it is 11 lol

night then, prolly gonna keep working on this tomorrow at work XD

[rapid stag]

-# laughs in nearly 4 am

-# ...cries in nearly 4 am

[fringe gyro]

lol

[sturdy compass]

wtf go to sleep

[fringe gyro]

i'm gonna, night yall

[tepid crow]

😭 🤝

[sturdy compass]

bruh

Ah well that's new

[tepid crow]

Uh oh. That might be breaking because one of those contexts is expecting something lmao

Starting to look more and more like you'll need Nope's code

tbf it also makes more sense to put this stuff in calculate_seal

[sturdy compass]

My vice with calculate_seal is that it doesn't do every seal (at least to my knowledge) cuz I don't see blue or gold in there

[vocal cedar]

fixed

Its removing the disaards, but how do i do the "-1" animation on the discards?

like making the

this thing update

live time

like flash a big -1

[tepid crow]

check a joker that uses the animation

[vocal cedar]

then go down to 2

hmm okay

[tepid crow]

like drunkard

actually, burglar is better

drunkard is a bit hard to find the code for

[vocal cedar]

where is burg?

[fringe gyro]

how do i modify the mult and Xmult values?

[vocal cedar]

cards.lua?

[tired skiff]

does somone here understand ease_dollar?

[tepid crow]

yeah in card.lua

[manic rune]

increase cash by the amount you put in

[manic rune]

ease_discards or smt

[sturdy compass]

Looked at Nope's code, it's also doing the same exact thing lmao nvm forgot a return nil lol

[tired skiff]

is it a fuction or do i need to add it

[manic rune]

its a function

provided in balatro itself

[vocal cedar]

Ding. Thanks

[tired skiff]

so this should work

[manic rune]

idj if its dollar or dollars tbh

try each and see which work lol

[brazen tusk]

what have i got wrong here?

[tired skiff]

well i got it somewhat working

[manic rune]

what does your sounds folder look like

[brazen tusk]

assets > sounds > chomp.ogg

[tired skiff]

well if i click on a card or anything it just gives me like - so much money

i should call it the current state of the economy

[manic rune]

its checking for Test_chomp.ogg there

[brazen tusk]

bc its looking in the default directory

when it should be looking in the mod folder

[fringe gyro]

how do i add the names of owned jokers to a string?

/how do i find the names and make them a variable at all>

[manic rune]

hmmm weird

[rapid stag]

...why on earth does me taking ownership of fortune teller remove its juice_up() function

[reef belfry]

Ive ran out of creative juices to make jokers

[tired skiff]

where can i find the code for the buisness card joker

[reef belfry]

💔💔💔

[rapid stag]

you'll get your fake scam money when you help me fix this damn nonsense with the seals and everything breaking
-# also give them their account back

[daring fern]

You should take reference from my mod: https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1355819401198178455

[minor furnace]

are we gonna ping the mods on that guy?

[rapid stag]

they've probably posted in all channels, so someone else probably already did

[minor furnace]

on the other hand, if everybody thinks someone else reported it, then nobody will

[zenith quarry]

ive been working on this joker for a while can someone vc and help me fix it

[minor furnace]

eta: I checked and the mods got pinged in exactly one channel

specifically, the fan art channel

[rapid stag]

ahhh. thanks

i probably won't do exactly that because i don't want to make my mod need yours as a dependency, especially for one part of it, since this is a fan project for a streamer and that i don't want to unnecessarily overcomplicate but i'll thumb through your solution and try to see what i'm doing wrong

...ah. that's the problem.

[manic rune]

its not in card.lua?

[tired skiff]

i found it but it didnt help me like i hoped it would

i want a joker to give money for each wild card in a played hand and remove money for each non wild card

[manic rune]

oh

use SMODS.has_enhancement

[tired skiff]

switch get to has?

[manic rune]

SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_wild")

that should work

[rugged pier]

local set_base_balatro = Card.set_base
Card.set_base = function(self, card, initial)
    if G.hand and G.consumeables  then
        SMODS.calculate_context{csmr_changed_base = true, card = self}
    end
    local ret = set_base_balatro(self, card, initial)
    return ret
end

why does G.hand and G.consumables along with set_base get triggered everytime i buy a tarot card or even win a blind, i just want it to trigger when a suit or rank changes on a card 😭

[tired skiff]

ok it works with wilds but it crashs when i dont play a wild

[manic rune]

what ur code looks like rn

[tired skiff]

is says the error is on line 109 and that line has - money line

im stupid

i have a extra l

im actualy stupid holy

[manic rune]

lmao

[rugged pier]

lol

[normal crest]

Check where check_for_unlock({ modify_deck = true }) is called tbh

Its probably in card.lua

[tired skiff]

yup that was it

[rugged pier]

let me check

[tired skiff]

im actualy top 10 most stupid people ever

[manic rune]

im in top 1

u aint taking my spot

[tired skiff]

my bad i wasnt trying to take that seat

[normal crest]

are you really stupid if you were able to recognize ur errors.

[tired skiff]

it only took me 3 hours

give or take

maybe more like 2 hour to fix my code

and when i say me i mean conke

now how tf do i word this joker

[rugged pier]

cant find this anywhere

[normal crest]

Try just looking for "modify_deck"

[rugged pier]

okay i found a bunch of it, what about it

[normal crest]

Is it called in multiple places

[rugged pier]

yeah

across many files as well

[normal crest]

Only matters if it's passrd to check for unlock

[rugged pier]

first 4 times here

[normal crest]

Game.lua is just definition

[tired skiff]

ok thats enough coding for today gn

[normal crest]

Try seeing the spots it gets used at in card.lua, one of those two has to be for ranks changing

[rugged pier]

so thats why its being triggered a lot of times?

[rugged pier]

okay let me check

[normal crest]

Naur, in game.lua you have joker definitions of vanilla, each one of those is a joker that uses that unlock condition

[rugged pier]

first one is used where function Card:set_base is defined and the second time is when function:set_ability is defined

[normal crest]

Could you send a ss of the set base one

[rugged pier]

its the last line

[normal crest]

Those conditions are prob what u wanna use in your hook

Alongside your current ones

just the last line ofc

[rugged pier]

so i would do something like if G.hand and self.playing_card and not initial

instead of G.hand

[normal crest]

if G.hand would just check that the hand area exists

I'd say for now try just the self.playing card and not initial

And see if it works like you intended

[rugged pier]

if G.hand and self.playing_card using this right now

will report back

[normal crest]

make sure to add not initial

unless u also want to includr when cards are created, if the name of that variable is to be trusted

[rugged pier]

OMG

IT WORKS

the only bug right now is

if a card is already jack of hearts

and i convert it to "hearts" with the tarot card

it still adds mult since it calls the set_base function

[rugged pier]

okay i tried using this but it didnt make a difference for when i used a sepctral cards that adds x enhanced cards, it still increases the mult

[normal crest]

uhhhh

[normal crest]

for this you could add a check before you call the original set_base func and store the current rank and suit, and thern after calling the original check if the new rank and suit are different

as for the spectral adding cards i'm not sure

[rugged pier]

okay makes sense

[dense adder]

does someone know what consumables are qualified as when you use them?

             if pseudorandom('Alchemy') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
                 G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                   func = function()
                     local _card = copy_card(context.other_card,nil)
                     _card:add_to_deck()
                     G.consumeables:emplace(_card)
                     return true
                 end
                 }))
             end
         end

trying to duplicate it when you use a consumable

[rugged pier]

could i do something like "and not self.ability.name == 'SpectralCardName'

[normal crest]

not really cus, self would be the card that is changing rank and suit

[normal crest]

Is this part of a joker

[dense adder]

yes

[normal crest]

checking context.consumeable == card is always false cus card is your joker

what you should do is remove everything after your using_consumeable check

and inside your copy

use context.consumeable instead of other_card

[rugged pier]

true hmm

i suppose theres no way around it

going to scrap this idea

[rapid stag]

does SMODS.Atlas add the mod prefix or no

[rugged pier]

wdym

[rapid stag]

when i call SMODS.Atlas() and specify a key -

does SMODS automatically prefix the mod prefix to that key

[old bane]

not for atlases no

[rugged pier]

you dont have to add the mod key there

[old bane]

at least i don't think

[rugged pier]

just put the atlas name

[old bane]

when i do it it doesn't

[rapid stag]

so everything but atlas and deckskin does

[reef belfry]

it looks kinda off

[orchid thunder]

That's op

[reef belfry]

1 in 3...

[orchid thunder]

Idk maybe 1 in 6 Chance To do it

But idk what the I tent was here

[brazen tusk]

I’d word it the other way around personally whatever you go with

eg. 2 in 3 chance to create a random consumable whenever you use a consumable.

[sturdy compass]

Hell yeah this is finally in a spot where I'm happy to show it off

[minor furnace]

what does a purple seal do on a Joker though if you can't discard it

or gold seal because you can't play it

[dense adder]

now im getting this error, something with copy_card is creating an error with context.consumable

[sturdy compass]

Both are changed to activate on trigger instead of discard/play when applied to a joker

[minor furnace]

and then this means you're guaranteed a planet from blue seal every single round

[sturdy compass]

Indeed

[minor furnace]

very powerful

[sturdy compass]

It's a rare for a reason

[old bane]

btw what do people think about these four effects as seals for jokers specifically
The last one is a permanent discard btw (passive effect)

i think i understand my issue, its trying to copy a card that doesn't exist because the card is gone when it trys to duplicat it

i jus tneed to find a way to save the value of the card before it destroys itself

[rugged pier]

SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_lucky') this checks for if the card is a lucky card, how would i check for any enhancement without using "or" for every enhancement?

[old bane]

if context.other_card.config.center ~= G.P_CENTERS.c_base

[rugged pier]

awesome thank you

[normal crest]

could you send your new code

[dense adder]

        -- useG.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
          if context.using_consumeable then
              if pseudorandom('Alchemy') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
                  G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                      local card = copy_card(context.consumable,nil)
                      card:add_to_deck()
                      G.consumeables:emplace(card)
                      return true
                  end
                  }))
              end
          end

when testing this it keeps trying to create the duplicate after it goes away, so i will need to create a temp value to save that cards value ir delay the destruction

nevermind wasn't that

Dayum Aseprite turned me into an artist lmao

Art is done

Now I gotta figure out how to make it a thing

like wat it gon do

[rugged pier]

            if context.other_card.config.center ~= G.P_CENTERS.c_base then

would this work as a way to iterate over all the scoring cards

[manic rune]

yooo that looks cool

[manic rune]

on entering blind, create a negative diet cola :3

[tawny narwhal]

I like

I was thinking diet cola could be used, but I didn't have any ideas how

now I do

what rarity would that be you reckon?

[manic rune]

i think rare, its a literal deck effect lol

the potential when u got this early and stacking up all the double tags is gonna be insane

🔥

[tawny narwhal]

tru tru

[normal crest]

name the local inside the event _card or smt

and you typed consumable correctly

but it's context.consumeable

inside copy_card

[dense adder]

i would have never found that its context.consumeable that fixed the issue, thank you so much

[manic rune]

hmmm

i hope

putting a boss blind in the position of a small blind can be achieved

without patching

❤️

time to try

[tall wharf]

...

[manic rune]

small AND big blind

:3

-# they arent that hard

[agile thistle]

Yes

it can

the ante will advance however

[manic rune]

really?

dang
