[manic rune]

i will do more hooks then

simple...

[agile thistle]

you can patch that behaviour out yeah

[manic rune]

nahhhhhhhhhhh

surely i dont need to patch

:3

[tired skiff]

surly

[agile thistle]

there's quite a few things you need to change if you want that to work properly

(i learned this from boss rush)

nothing i have off the top of my head though

[manic rune]

what function is run when you win a boss blind?

[agile thistle]

same as any other

end_round??? i think???

[manic rune]

welll i can check if the current boss blind is the one from my mod's

if it is, dont advance ante

:p

[agile thistle]

well youll also need to account for the blind reroll

which is done seperately

[manic rune]

oh yeah

[agile thistle]

and also the Upcoming and Defeated text

that actually gets screwy believe it or not

oh and also finisher blinds

they win the game even when not in boss position

[manic rune]

u mean showdown blinds?

[agile thistle]

whatever

i forget

but yeah

that should be it i think??

[tawny narwhal]

I'm thinking of making a custom Pepsi one... worth the effort?

[agile thistle]

not sure if skips will show up

[manic rune]

is it worth the effort making a "self-insert" joker that high quality lol

[manic rune]

i will keep note of that, thanks

[tawny narwhal]

Well it's gonna go in my Jet Joker mod too

may as well

[rugged pier]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local enhanced_cards = 0
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.scoring_hand then
            if context.other_card.config.center ~= G.P_CENTERS.c_base then
                enhanced_cards = enhanced_cards + 1
            end
        end
        if enhanced_cards >= card.ability.extra.cards then
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_mod
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    message = 'Upgraded!'
                    card:juice_up()
                    return true
                end,
            }))
        end
        if context.joker_main and card.ability.extra.mult > 0 then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end

why would this not work for upgrading the joker? I tried playing 3 enhanced cards and it just didnt get any mult

[sturdy compass]

Try SMODS.get_enhancements(card) instead

That gets you a table of the enhancements the card has. If you put it in a next() wrapper it'll get you the functionality you want

[rugged pier]

huge

thank you

let me try

[sturdy compass]

[manic rune]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before then  
          local enhanced_cards = 0
          for _,v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
            if v.config.center ~= G.P_CENTERS.c_base then
                enhanced_cards = enhanced_cards + 1
            end
          end
          if enhanced_cards >= card.ability.extra.cards then
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_mod
            card:juice_up()
            return {
              message = 'Upgraded!'
            }
          end
        end
        if context.joker_main and card.ability.extra.mult > 0 then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end

probably try this instead

its more reliable to handle all the enhancing stuff in context.before

[rugged pier]

legend

trying now

[manic rune]

wiat

i forgot to replace context.other_card with v

@rugged pier 😭

[sturdy compass]

actually throwing

[manic rune]

GOD IM RUSTY NOW

💔

i will quit this community forever

[rugged pier]

lol dw i fixed it

[manic rune]

😭 im glad you found that

[rugged pier]

i saw it error and was like wait

theres the loop

[manic rune]

does it work btw :3

[rugged pier]

but im not using v

testing, one of the person who helps me with art messaged

[manic rune]

ah icic

[rose dragon]

https://www.rust-lang.org/

[manic rune]

💔

[rugged pier]

it works! thank you so much :)

[manic rune]

np :D

[rugged pier]

would i have to add "and not context blueprint" anywhere for the upgrading thing?

i dont think it should be an issue

[manic rune]

true

[rugged pier]

added it to context.before

just in case

[reef belfry]

im gonna jump off a building

[rugged pier]

average shaders coding experience

[daring fern]

How could one put a seal on a consumable?

[rose dragon]

lovely patches probably and drawsteps

[manic rune]

its not a shader

i made a function to handle the animated joker easily for me :3

but SMODS already provided that function now, sooo

[rugged pier]

they did?

[manic rune]

mhm

heard its buggy though

🤷‍♂️

im gonna be honest

i dont know what the fuck im looking at

like, at all

:3

[faint yacht]

Tables upon tables upon tables... much like consistent HTML design back when Netscape 3.0 was relevant from what I heard?

[manic rune]

im trying to make my own create_UIbox_blind_choice function to handle creating a boss blind in position of a small blind properly

but like

-# am i supposed to understand ALL of those????

all i have managed to figure out is that i dont want those

thats the Up The Ante ui gone

[daring fern]

How?

[last sentinel]

What would be the best way to make it so a modded tag does not show up naturally

[plush cove]

find where the tag is defined in the code, and then add
in_pool = function() return false end

replace the existing in_pool function if there is one

[peak tiger]

possibly dumb question, how would I make it so that there's a 50% chance for something to activate, but if it doesn't, it activates something else?

[daring fern]

You do if pseudorandom('seed') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / odds and then put the other thing in else. I think.

[heady siren]

Never got an answer to a question I asked a while ago, is there a context for other cards being scored for enhancements? I wanna make a card gain X0.5 mult for every other scoring card

[daring fern]

So every second card that scores will upgrade it by 0.5?

[heady siren]

I mean cards that aren't the enhanced card

4 cards score, and then it gives X3 mult, because it's X1 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5

[manic rune]

BOOM

🗣️

[daring fern]

Try this. ```lua
local addedxmult = 1
for k, v in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
if not SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_prefix_enhancement') then
addedxmult = addedxmult + 0.5
end
end

[peak tiger]

config = { extra = {Xmult = 1.25}} How would I add a second Xmult here?

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[peak tiger]

I mean I want 2 Xmult effects here but I don't know how to add the second Xmult to config

[daring fern]

Call it Otherxmult or something.

[manic rune]

there we go, fixed the coloring

god i am SO cooking 🗣️

[heady siren]

So there isn't a context for it, got it

[maiden phoenix]

Such a challenge AND you have to score that many chips? You're insane!!!

[manic rune]

🔥

NO PATCHES

SO FAR

I CAN DO THIS

[heady siren]

The variables can be named whatever you want

[peak tiger]

Ohhhhh, I thought that was the name of the effect

[maiden phoenix]

I mean Balatro has some variable tied to effect, but using an extra table is 100 times better 😅

[manic rune]

there we go, i can change both small and big blinds now

[tall wharf]

you are fucked

[manic rune]

i just have to hook to end_round() so that it wont advance the ante when i beat the boss blind, and i should be good

[tall wharf]

YOU ARE FUCKEDDDDDD when I play on Jokerless

[manic rune]

its a placeholder 💔

should i make it an actual boss blind tho

[manic rune]

mmm

actually not sure what im supposed to do here without patching

gah

[heavy canopy]

Replace them all by boss blinds trust

[minor furnace]

that's quite small

[manic rune]

the thing is that currently, beating ANY boss blind rn, even when its supposed to be in the position of the Small blind

will advance ante by 1

thats not good

[minor furnace]

that makes sense

[daring fern]

How could one make it so when I put an enhancement on a joker it doesn't replace the joker?

[minor furnace]

oh, enhancement

uhh. for normal cards, the enhancement replaces the base card, and the rank/suit is a separate transpareng png that's overlaid on top of it

so for starters you would need to make versions of each of the enhancements with transparency to be laid over the Jokers

I'm looking at card:set_ability() now and uh

that process seems like it would be super involved to implement

[minor furnace]

at a glance it seems like both enhancements and a joker's effect might both occupy the card's "ability" field and that they may be mutually exclusive with the current implementation

I could also be wrong though

you might be able to define a new custom field for an enhancement on a card whose set is joker and get creative that way?

alternatively, look at how cards have editions set and do something similar with enhancements

any way you slice it the implementation is going to be cursed lol

all of this goes beyond my current understanding of the game

[manic rune]

GUESS WHAT

NO PATCHES :3

[rose dragon]

Balatro

[maiden phoenix]

Wouldnt have won that first blind without DebugPlus

[manic rune]

i cant even imagine winning anything without a joker 💔

[heavy hare]

i'm trying to put a permanent UI that shows the boss blind directly above the jokers, but i'm not sure if i'm not doing something to make an AnimatedSprite work like it should. do i need to add any of this?

-------------------------------
-- IN UI_definitions.lua
function create_UIBox_blind_tracker()
  return {n=G.UIT.ROOT, config={align = "cm", minw = 1, r = 0.1}, nodes={
      {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm",id='blind_tracker',minw=2, minh = 1.6, nodes={
      }}
    }}}
end

function update_blind_tracker()
  local type = "Boss"
  local blind_choice = {
    config = G.P_BLINDS[G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices[type]],
  }
  blind_choice.animation = AnimatedSprite(0,0, 1.4, 1.4, G.ANIMATION_ATLAS['blind_chips'],  blind_choice.config.pos)
  blind_choice.animation:define_draw_steps({
    {shader = 'dissolve', shadow_height = 0.05},
    {shader = 'dissolve'}
  })

  local tracker = G.HUD_blind_tracker:get_UIE_by_ID('blind_tracker')
  local node = {n=G.UIT.O, config={object = blind_choice.animation}}
  if tracker.nodes then
    tracker.nodes[#tracker.nodes+1] = node
  else
    tracker.nodes = {node}
  end
end

-------------------------------
-- IN game.lua Game:start_run()

self.HUD_blind_tracker = UIBox{
  definition = create_UIBox_blind_tracker(),
  config = {major = G.ROOM_ATTACH, align = 'cm', offset = {x=0,y=-5}}
}
update_blind_tracker()

[peak tiger]

How do I give myself a specific Joker?

[heavy hare]

i took the animation stuff from create_UIBox_blind_choice() in UI_definitions

[daring fern]

card_ = create_card("Joker", G.jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil, 'j_prefix_key')
card_:add_to_deck()
G.jokers:emplace(card_)

How could one calculate a joker that isn't present?

[manic rune]

what function rerolls the boss of the next ante when you beat it?

[peak tiger]

Which bits do I need to edit to create a modded Joker?

[daring fern]

Change prefix to your mod prefix and key to the key of the joker.

[peak tiger]

now it's giving errors about 'center'

[daring fern]

Show your code.

[peak tiger]

`SMODS.Keybind{
key = "jokercreate",
key_pressed = "j",
held_keys = {'lctrl'},

action = function(self)
    card_ = create_card("Joker", G.jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil, 'j_SSSmods_blank_jok')
    card_:add_to_deck()
    G.jokers:emplace(card_)
end,

}`

@daring fern

[daring fern]

Is SSSmods your prefix?

[peak tiger]

ye

idk why

it works tho

[daring fern]

and blank_jok is your joker key?

[peak tiger]

yup

[manic rune]

shouldn't you have "local" tho

not that it matters too much

[peak tiger]

should I?

where?

[manic rune]

local card_ = ...

[peak tiger]

Oops! The game crashed: functions/common_events.lua:2295: attempt to index local 'center' (a nil value)
is the error message

[daring fern]

When does this happen?

[peak tiger]

when I press Ctrl+J (the keybind)

[daring fern]

Are you sure SSSmods is your prefix? because it works fine for me.

[peak tiger]

The one in the atlas?

nevermind

I figured it out

I'm dumb

[tawny narwhal]

Yooo

So I'm tryna figure out

where is add_joker? I'm trying to find it in context to see how it works

[daring fern]

Joker enhancements:

[tall wharf]

why does everyone make a tarot

wtf

[reef belfry]

huh.

[daring fern]

Did you forget to emplace?

[reef belfry]

yeppers

[daring fern]

How would stone work on a joker?

Would it just replace the joker?

[rose dragon]

i guess?

[manic rune]

they shouldn't give money if they score in my opinion but you should boost the amount of money they give too though

[tawny narwhal]

Am I able to remove the loc_vars, or is that a necessary component?

[rose dragon]

yea

but i would recommend adding a info box thing for diet cola

[tawny narwhal]

Truuue

wait how do I do that

I've used loc_vars before but not for an extra info box

[rose dragon]

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

[tawny narwhal]

Legend

uhhh it didn't make the cola negative

WHat have I missed here...

[maiden phoenix]

Try this instead

SMODS.add_card({key = 'j_diet_cola', edition = 'e_negative'})

[tawny narwhal]

Also I'm losing my mind here

where do I find the descriptyions for vanilla cards?

[maiden phoenix]

In the localization folder

[tawny narwhal]

Thank you good sir

[daring fern]

How would wild work on a joker?

[rose dragon]

triggers regardless of whether a condition or chance is met

[maiden phoenix]

If you use the function is_suit() to check the suit of your card and it's a wild card, it will always return true

[tawny narwhal]

I need an example of a description listing another joker. If i have the Diet Cola in my description, would i make it {C:green} for uncommon or...?

[daring fern]

No, I was asking how the wild card enhancement would work if it was on a joker.

[maiden phoenix]

Oh

Imo if I were to do something like this, I'd make every Joker that requires a specific suit work on every suit, but that sounds tedious to achieve

And it would be useless on non-suit including jokers

[reef belfry]

which one shoul i work on next

[rose dragon]

steamhappy

[coral flume]

Hey yall, getting a weird 'ghost' card appearing? I think it has something to do with the way my joker is destroying cards
Like my deck is drawing more cards thatn I have?

You need to use context.destroying_card I think.

does this seem fair

[tawny narwhal]

If you're making a mod, this is the place. if it's just compatibility problems with mods you're just playing with, then #⚙・modding-general is what you need.

[manic rune]

its good

[digital wasp]

oh sorry im new to this

[manic rune]

destroying cards AND gaining $7 on top of that?

sure :3

[tawny narwhal]

no problem homie

I have the typing skills of a dyslexic penguin I swear...

[coral flume]

Whereabouts?, tried it here and it just didnt destroy the card

[modest iris]

hello guys, can someone help me with this issue im having with patches? i don't really know how to use them

[daring fern]

You need to replace context.after with it

[coral flume]

ahh crap my bad

Nah still not working

[daring fern]

You need to put remove = true in the return.

[tawny narwhal]

Trying to balance these a little in terms of cost and rarity, but I don't think I've quite got it right.
Super-Cruising = $5
P.W.M.J? = $7
Stellar Collapse = $6
Singularity = $16

[coral flume]

within the add event? or the return just further down

[daring fern]

The last return.

[coral flume]

okay, its destroying now, but it's destroying every card

[manic rune]

i wont lie

the first joker is INSANELY good

after 1 hand, it goes straight up to X2.75??

😭

[tawny narwhal]

Yeah I need to tweak that as well

[manic rune]

i think increasing by X0.25 or X0.5 instead is better

since one-shotting blinds is usually what we do anyways

[tawny narwhal]

tru...

[daring fern]

You need to remove the event and you need to check if context.other_card is a card to be destroyed.

[manic rune]

nop

you still check context.destroying_card

theres no context.other_card

but also, i think you should use context.destroy_card instead

its a context provided by smods (from what i have heard), and its better than context.destroying_card because it seems to affect cards in hand too

[tawny narwhal]

And what do you reckon about the prices/rarities?

[manic rune]

since from my experience, context.destroying_card doesnt target as many fields as context.destroy_card

[coral flume]

Okay well currently looks like this

[manic rune]

stellar collapse should be rare

other than that, i think everything is fine

[coral flume]

you reckon, context.destroy_card rather than destroying card

?

[manic rune]

actually, nvm i still think rare is the right rarity, idk

[manic rune]

mmm

[tawny narwhal]

Yeah it's a tough one. Need to balence out the rarity with how many high cards need to be played

[manic rune]

use context.destroy_card instead

and you dont need the event

just returning remove = true will handle those animations for you

[coral flume]

Shit really? sick!

[tawny narwhal]

Maybe if it's rare, you only need 10 high cards or something

[manic rune]

but also, you need to make sure that context.destroy_card is in G.play.cards

else it will destroy everything

[hushed field]

@humble girder I'm checking the details on the card upgrade system you added to smods. Am I right in seeing that you added a separate implementation of bonus chips that's separate from the way vanilla Hiker does it?

[manic rune]

-# isnt it the same

[humble girder]

🤔 no i'm pretty sure vanilla hiker does it the same way?

[tawny narwhal]

That's what the documentation says as of like 30 mins ago

[hushed field]

Oh, yeah, you're right. I'm confusing the way editions add bonus chips with the way hiker does it

[tawny narwhal]

valid

coding is hard sometimes

[hushed field]

That also explains a bug in my code, haha

[humble girder]

but also wtf was i smoking when i wrote this

[manic rune]

editions dont work the same as bonus cards and hiker, unfortunately

[coral flume]

Sorry, real quick. How do i put the context in G. play. Card?

[humble girder]

context.other_card.ability.perma_bonus = context.other_card.ability.perma_bonus

[manic rune]

you dont need a context for that

G.play.cards is retrievable everywhere

[tawny narwhal]

Meth. Quite possibly meth.

[manic rune]

at least do context.other_card.ability.perma_bonus = context.other_card.ability.perma_bonus + 0 man

💔

[hushed field]

I mean, it makes sense, because you wanna be able to remove editions, and not perma bonus of chips. But because they're called .bonus and .perma_bonus, I've seemingly used them both without realizing there were ever two

[frosty dock]

yep context.destroying_card is a vanilla context that we couldn't have expanded on. So destroy_card continues to only be set for played and scored cards. They're part of the same context calculation though

[tawny narwhal]

Wha...

You good homie?

[manic rune]

:3 no

[humble girder]

editions don't even add bonus, or they shouldn't really

[tawny narwhal]

possible water break time lmao

[humble girder]

editions should just be returning a calculation like a normal person

[hushed field]

no, they just call it a bonus, but it's just chips from the edition

[manic rune]

foil simply returns chips when the card is scored

i think?

[hushed field]

but you can add it onto a card, and it'll show as a bonus on the ui, even without the edition

[humble girder]

that seems incorrect though

[tawny narwhal]

Actually, no. All of you. Water break time. Stay hydrated.

[hushed field]

which is why I didn't notice I was using both systems interchangeably

[humble girder]

i don't think vanilla editions show up as a bonus at all

[maiden phoenix]

Do someone have the link to the tutorial about UI stuff in modding?

[manic rune]

thanks aure :p

[humble girder]

they show up as an info queue only

[coral flume]

How do i go about coding this. Im new to it sorry

[manic rune]

i thought the best one is documented in smods already?

[hushed field]

I think that's true for when the edition is on a card, but if the card has a .bonus in its ability, it automatically shows, I think

[manic rune]

ah, wait

[hushed field]

I'm changing it over in my own code now, but lm grab an old version of Kino to grab a screenshot

[maiden phoenix]

Oh I didn't know it was moved there, will look for it ty

[humble girder]

whatever it is you're doing i just want to say: don't

return { chips = card.edition.chips } from calculate pls

[humble girder]

i'll even go as far as to say

pretty pls

[hushed field]

No, haven't done that at all. just some old jokers and enhancements in my mod that still use 'card.ability.bonus' as the container for bonus chips rather than 'card.ability.perma_bonus'

[humble girder]

enhancements should use card.ability.bonus

the thing you should consider, although set_ability is kinda trash is: card.ability.X is for enhancements, perma_X is for things not tied to enhancement

[hushed field]

Oof yeah, i'm aware, just typing before the thought is fully formed, haha. But some enhancements check for bonus on cards, and that I'm changing over

[humble girder]

in fact, if set_ability wasn't trash, card.ability.bonus would be reset every time you change the enhancement on a card

[manic rune]

if context.destroy_card and next(context.poker_hands["Three of a Kind"]) then --Check if you are playing Three of a Kind
  for _,c in ipairs(G.play.cards) do --Check all cards in your playing hand. If you want it to only be scoring hand - use context.scoring_hand instead
    if c == context.destroy_card then --if context.destroy_card exists in there:
      return {
        message = "CRUNCH!",
        remove = true --Destroys it.
      }
    end
  end
end

[humble girder]

(hint: it isn't)

[manic rune]

i hope thats clear enough :p

[humble girder]

(because vanilla code is bad)

[manic rune]

i REALLY hope thunk doesnt hate modders because of how much we trashtalk his code lmfao

[hushed field]

is not trash talking the source code basically one of the rules of the server? 😛

[manic rune]

i had this joker which scales on how many chips a card gives, that includes editions and enhancements

unfortunately, i had to hard-code editions because its simply not possible to also account for modded editions that give chips too 💔

[hushed field]

My confusion mainly came from .bonus functioning exactly like .perma_bonus, so I never really noticed there were two, haha, but luckily that's fixable

[humble girder]

yeah, that's technically a bug

.mult is reset when you change enhancements

[tawny narwhal]

This guy speaks computer

beep boop

[manic rune]

this guy speaks magic words

[humble girder]

(so does .bonus if you have baliatro enabled cause i patched in the behaviour)

[manic rune]

🧙‍♂️

[humble girder]

i suspect at some point hiker was hitting .bonus rather than .perma_bonus

[manic rune]

can i use baliatro as a library instead :3

[humble girder]

and whatever custom logic exists in set_ability for handling .bonus is a remnant of that

[tawny narwhal]

I take it you're one of the heavy hitters in the mod community?

Cause as I am a noob, you're speaking greek rn

And I speak greek...

[humble girder]

i don't have an iota of an idea if that's true

[tawny narwhal]

It is now

[humble girder]

sorry

best i could come up with

[manic rune]

im still surprised i managed to add "boss" small blinds ngl

WITHOUT researching anyone's code this time

[tawny narwhal]

My dumb ass hovered my mouse over the joker to see its effect 😐

[manic rune]

i will do it for u 😭

[hushed field]

I should refactor a lot of the older stuff in Kino, honestly. A lot of the bugs I'm seeing come from me not understanding SMODS properly, so a lot of the implementations are just accidentally doing kind of what I wanted, instead of being well-written code

[humble girder]

keep that in mind when you use baliatro for any sort of reference

the closer to the top of the file the code is

[humble girder]

the less understanding i had of SMODS/balatro lol

[manic rune]

that goes for a lot of mods

[hushed field]

Haha, I'm luckily no longer just copying code, but just trying to see if I can find the logic, and then checking with other mods or documentation to see how it works

[tawny narwhal]

smae

[hushed field]

partially because I'm past the point where the things I'm implementing have very direct analogues in other mods, honestly

[tawny narwhal]

Not smae

[humble girder]

if you come across chef joker (it's not an upgraded one) that one might confusingly not interact with perma_bonus

that is intentional since it upgrades the enhancement, not the card

[coral flume]

this works, but Only want it to destory one random card in scoring hand, this destroys the entire scoring hand

[humble girder]

i should probably put something about that in the loc txt

[manic rune]

ah, icic

[coral flume]

Hence the pseudorandom element

[hushed field]

my original implementation of the sci-fi card was that it'd not upgrade itself but would take every upgrade applied to the base card and apply it to itself, and changing that over to my current system's got a beautiful mess of code that does what I need it to do, but will act very strangily if it's to interact with other mods, haha

[coral flume]

my bad, shouldve made that clear

[tawny narwhal]

Is it bad that I still can't fully figure out how to navigate GitHub?..

[manic rune]

if context.before and next(context.poker_hands["Three of a Kind"]) then --We mark a random card.
  local radCard = pseudorandom_element(G.play.cards,pseudoseed("your seed here"))
  if radCard then radCard.ability.marked_by_your_joker_or_smt = true
end

if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card.ability.marked_by_your_joker_or_smt then --This one checks if context.destroy_card has the mark.
  return {
    message = "CRUNCH!",
    remove = true
  }
end

[hushed field]

no if you're just modding as a hobby, yes if you also have a dayjob as a developer, haha

[manic rune]

this is how id do it

[tawny narwhal]

Closest I'll get to dev is Electrical Engineer... wait...

[native zinc]

damn

[hushed field]

Hahaha, does that randomly pick art??

[hushed field]

git's probably worth reading up on the functionality of once you're working with multiple people on the same project. Until then, as a hobbyist, it's entirely fine to be baffled

[manic rune]

i have a lib of functions of my own now

❤️

[tawny narwhal]

Valid

[hushed field]

I used to know how it worked in cmd, then nobody that worked in linguistics research knew how to use it so I stopped using it and now I'm just struggling to use the desktop app and hope that's good enough, haha

[manic rune]

i use those ones the most, it enhances the cards while also adding the effects i like

[native zinc]

oh i wish

i want to disguise it as a joker but with the wrong price so its identifiable

but that's so hard

[hushed field]

making it randomly pick a rare joker shouldn't be too difficult, right?

[native zinc]

probably not

[manic rune]

not as hard as you think actually

[hushed field]

... I should override the chips message that .bonus applies, because there's no reason for it to show

[native zinc]

really ??

[manic rune]

you can grab the joker spritesheet from balatro

[native zinc]

oh no i mean like. description too

[manic rune]

then in set_ability (aka when it appears in shop), change the joker's sprite pos randomly

oh, uh

i forgot how to do that, sorry

💔

[native zinc]

i guess i can start with that anyway

means i don't have to draw more art 😎

[hushed field]

you could do that in set_sprites, no? Also, if you write a custom generate_ui, you could make it grab the matching description

[native zinc]

oh hmm

[hushed field]

probably a way easier method as well

[coral flume]

Thanks :)

[last sentinel]

Is there a global table of all the suits in the game? (Thus also covering modded suits)

[daring fern]

[native zinc]

i also threw in cavendish into the pool

gotta get the people on their toes "hang on i didn't buy michelle this run..."

[hushed field]

If you want to make it so the in-shop text is even cheekier, you should set it up to use dynamic text, and just make it change over to the proper description for a few frames every few seconds 😛

[native zinc]

lmaooo

i have no idea how dynamic text works and im very scared to try

[manic rune]

r those odds fine? if it hits the 1/3 then it will summon a random "boss" small/big blind

[crisp coral]

1/3 happens more often than you'd think

[manic rune]

mm got it

what would be the best chance to go with then?

they arent too hard, so maybeeee 1/4 is fine?

[reef belfry]

is something wrong with this..

[manic rune]

and disacrd == true

wat u trying to do here

[reef belfry]

idk im just usisng the SMODS doc n tryna work from ther

[manic rune]

in that case, a lot of stuff is wrong here

first of all - discard == true is not something you can do

[reef belfry]

i think that was when i was tryna mark cards but i just settled with remove n just forgot to remove it

[manic rune]

and secondly, you cant run those in return

[native zinc]

don't use card.ability.extra. in the return

also those are ==

you want to define, one equal

[manic rune]

im guessing the effect intended is discarding cards = destroying them or smt?

[reef belfry]

destroying them then giving you money

10 if enhanced 7 if not

[past valve]

New to modding. How hard would it be to make a Joker that checks if you have one of a pool of specific Jokers, then adds mult and shows a unique message for each joker in its pool?

[manic rune]

one sec, i think i can write something up

[long acorn]

how does the game handle sorting the cards in the collection?
like say i have a legendary and a common in the mod i made would it automatically show the legendary last?

[daring fern]

No, you would have to define them in that order.

[crisp coral]

there is no sorting, all manual

[hushed field]

super doable!

[long acorn]

i wonder how neato jokers does it cause im following how they did the jokers (separate files)

[daring fern]

They defined them in that order.

[hushed field]

I've also set up each joker as an individual file. My method is to have a list of all joker keys that the game reads in when loading jokers, and then load the jokers based on that order. I think Ortalab does it that way, and that's generally a good codebase to check, due to Eremel also working a lot on smods code

[long acorn]

oh cool I'll check that then

[manic rune]

      if context.discard then
         local moneyEarn = 7
         if not SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "c_base") then
            moneyEarn = 10
         end

         local cardToBeDestroyed = context.other_card
         G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
               ease_dollars(moneyEarn)
               cardToBeDestroyed:start_dissolve()
               return true
            end
         }))
      end

here

oh wait, get_enhancements still works if the card is c_base, one sec

@reef belfry here, it should work properly now

just realized i could just do

local moneyEarn = (not SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "c_base") and 10) or 7

instead of

local moneyEarn = 7
if not SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "c_base") then
  moneyEarn = 10
end

but im too used to doing it the lengthy way :p

[runic pecan]

bump

[daring fern]

How could I check for context.post_trigger but only when scoring?

[manic rune]

dunno, that seems hard unless you hard-code it into specific contexts

[orchid thunder]

Could you do

If context.joker_main(or what ever it is) and context.post_trigger

[wintry solar]

You can check what context the post trigger is from

It’s context.other_context.whatever iirc

[orchid thunder]

Woah

[next timber]

trying to test a card that can tell you where in your deck other specific cards in your deck are and i draw all the cards its supposed to find before i can actually draw it to find them

oh my god it hapepned again

How could I draw a seal on a consumable?

[manic rune]

are you

are you doing seals on everything??

[daring fern]

I'm just putting things that aren't supposed to be on things onto those things.

[manic rune]

tha

thats confusing

but what you are working on is really nice, im looking forward to it :3

unfortunately i lack knowledge about this kinda stuff so i cant help, sorry

[daring fern]

What I mean is I've got enhancements on jokers along with seals.

[manic rune]

mmm

i dont think seals on jokers is a good name for your mod at that point, is it

Hey gang how do I make those "all x count as y" cards

[daring fern]

For ranks?

[gilded narwhal]

I'm trying to make all face cards count as jacks queens and kings

[daring fern]

You would have to redefine all jokers that use those ranks.

[gilded narwhal]

Oh boy

Like just with take_ownership or would i need a lovely patch

[daring fern]

Both work I think.

[gilded narwhal]

Coolcool

And would that work with an enhancement as well?

[daring fern]

Yes you would check if it's a face card and check if it has that enhancement.

[gilded narwhal]

Kewl ty

[next timber]

balatro how tf am i supposed to fix an error if you wont let me see it before just entirely closing yourself

[daring fern]

You could check the lovely log.

[next timber]

theres. no error in the log?? it just crashes?

wtf

ok the error seems to be caused by me running my deep_copy function on G.deck.cards

[zealous glen]

As they said it won’t work with mods

You’ll have to modify all vanilla effects individually

Including Straight calculation

Which I think is replaced by SMODS

[zealous glen]

Maybe it’s running out of memory

I’m not sure what you’re doing but if a table contains (a reference to) itself maybe it’s an infinite loop

[next timber]

true

[daring fern]

Does this happen because the game doesn't put the cards back because they would be destroyed?

[modern kindle]

you could just set the prob of every glass card with a sticker to 0

[zealous glen]

I don’t know what you coded

[modern kindle]

also hi vic!

stickers on cards

[zealous glen]

Hello dilly

I can see they have stickers on cards

I still don’t know what they coded

[zealous glen]

Balatro can have stickers on any cards

Doesn’t mean that does anything

[zealous glen]

Yeah I imagine the cards are removed from the deck either during the vanilla calculation or SMODS’

So you’re in the wrong place

You want to stop cards from being destroyed at calculation level, not animation level

[thin anchor]

how would i destroy cards

[daring fern]

During scoring?

[thin anchor]

yes

[daring fern]

Use context.destroy_card and return remove = true

[thin anchor]

ok

[daring fern]

How?

[zealous glen]

With a patch probably

[crisp coral]

what do we think about this

[thin anchor]

i thought that said ti-30

[hushed field]

haha, maybe add a dev-mod only sticker to it 😛

[thin anchor]

is this correct

[crisp coral]

no

[thin anchor]

hmmm

[hushed field]

you don't return contexts, and every thing you return nedes to be matched with a key for the game to know what to do with it. These keys are hardcoded

[thin anchor]

oh

how would i increase ante

[daring fern]

ease_ante(number)

[quartz ravine]

Hi guys, is there a way to play a sound effect when a certain hand is played? Right now, it plays the sound effect when I just select the appropriate cards, not only when it is played!

[pseudo cape]

does anyone know where I should look for creating a new mechanic for the game, I know it'll be difficult but was wondering if there was a genral framework for custom elements that anyone know of

[pseudo cape]

yee I've got a card that does that, lemme pull up the code

[quartz ravine]

It didn't seem possible within a custom poker hand, that I could see. Thanks @pseudo cape

[modern kindle]

well that depends on the mechanic, you have joyous spring which has a graveyard, you have star rail which uses blind expander for all sorts of multi phase bosses (and gacha stuff and more), you have aiko who has all sorts of words you can make and a math deck and more

[pseudo cape]

the way I did it was a bit janky, but I just called the sfx during the calculate function itself, where it would print any messages

it worked though, and I've not experienced any issues with it

[quartz ravine]

Oh cool, I did not try adding a calculate function to the poker hand, good idea

[tawny narwhal]

Surely just add and context.before?

[pseudo cape]

I want to add a mechanic revolving around elder furthark runes, they're old symbols that some people use for divination, and I feel like it fits in well with balatro's general vibe, each rune has a meaning behind it too, I've got all the assets done (was using them for something else too) and a general idea of what most should do but no clue where to start with code

[quartz ravine]

lol

I did something odd here!

[quartz ravine]

Check out ortalab, it adds Zodiac signs. Probably a good idea to start there

[tawny narwhal]

Upper middle class hand

[modern kindle]

whats your example look like

[pseudo cape]

             -- calculate is where the scoring and effects of the joker are handled. 
        calculate = function(self, card, context)
                -- context.joker_main takes place when the joker is meant to score.
            if context.joker_main then
                return {
                        -- adds the number contained in the mult variable to the score.
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
                        -- message is the text that appears when the joker scores.
                        -- localize is used to make sure the text works across multiple languages.
                    message  = localize {
                        type = 'variable',
                        key = 'a_mult',
                        vars = {
                            card.ability.extra.mult
                        }
                    }
                }
            end
                -- context.after takes place after the hand is scored.
                -- context.blueprint applies if the joker is a blueprint copy.
            if context.after and not context.blueprint then
                            -- adds the gain variable to the base mult number.
                        card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.gain
                    return {
                            -- another message, just prints the text.
                        message = "Yippie!",
                        colour = G.C.MULT,
                            -- plays the sound effect yippie.ogg. the prefix is needed.
                        play_sound("Coo29_yippie"),
                            -- needed, can be changed to context.other_card to apply to another card.
                        card = card
                    }
            end
        end```

that's my calc function, the sound is at the end

[pseudo cape]

thank you!

[quartz ravine]

I don't get the joke

[tawny narwhal]

white

[tawny narwhal]

Also this should make it so that the sound only plays with the hand but before scoring starts.

[quartz ravine]

Here is my example block btw

    example = {        
        { 'S_10', true},
        { 'H_10', true},
        { 'C_10', true},
        { 'H_10', true},
        { 'H_2', false}
    },

[pseudo cape]

is that the right layout for the card sigils?

I've never added a custom hand so I dunno

[modern kindle]

do S_T

[quartz ravine]

This is so odd.

S_T?

[modern kindle]

ranks 10, 11, etc never work for me

T for 10

[tawny narwhal]

so effectively if ... and not context.*hand_selected*

[modern kindle]

as ref for how it works for me

sorry it was ace of spades before so ignore the comment

i just made the change to show you

[quartz ravine]

Ahh, thank you!

[modern kindle]

np!

[pseudo cape]

{
{'S_T', true}
{'H_T', true}
{'C_T', true}
{'D_T', true}
{'S_2', false}
}

oop

someone got to it first

[quartz ravine]

weird that ten is different. When comparing to card rank, it is '10' or 10, but over here it is done differently

[modern kindle]

for some reason ranks above 9 never work if i use their id, so i use their letters

S_A, S_K, etc

[red flower]

its so that the IDs can be a single character

[daring fern]

How do I prevent a playing card from being destroyed?

[quartz ravine]

Thanks folks

This was one of the last things I was working on before releasing. I am nearly done with an animal themed mod that adds 5 custom editions, 3 new enhancements, and 32 animal themed jokers

im slowly inching towards release myself at 55 or so jokers and some vouchers and such

[tawny narwhal]

How do yall get the border and joker words on your cards? atm my process for making the sprites is jank ASH

[modern kindle]

i know my friend is an aseprite user and she makes all of my art but unfortunately i dont have much byond that

but jokers in general arent very consistent in their borders

vanilla stuff has little consistency

[thin anchor]

might be a dumb question but where is the code for pareidolia

[daring fern]

card.lua

[bold canopy]

I know this is a few days old, but I was having the same issue. Couldn't figure it out for the life of me, then eventually I noticed that I had typed my function as use = function (self, area, card) instead of use = function (self, card, area) once I corrected the syntax it worked perfectly.

[tawny narwhal]

Fair, but just having a semi consitant white border with the mirrored joker words would really pull a lot of my stuff together, especially if I wanna go for a vanilla+ style as I add more jokers.

[old bane]

i think it's like probably gonna be in is_face() at least, that's how passive effects normally work

[old bane]

could check common_events.lua

[daring fern]

It is definitely in card.lua

[tawny narwhal]

Case sensitive?

[bold canopy]

Line 964 of card.lua specifically.

[tawny narwhal]

Also, might be a noob question

[thin anchor]

found it

[narrow iron]

So you can just return {message=“whatever”} and it shows the message?

[tawny narwhal]

How do I change my code colours in VSC??

[daring fern]

Unsure. I was messing with Wheel of Fortune and took the code from there. I would imagine as long as you're using any of the messages specified in the localization file, then yeah.

Or specified your own localization.

[narrow iron]

I hadnt considered that it needed to be in the localization file

Thank you

[thin anchor]

so is this right

[daring fern]

No, you would have to hook is_face()

[thin anchor]

hook?

[daring fern]

https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129557-tutorial-function-hooking-and-you/

[thin anchor]

great

[daring fern]

You could do something like this. lua local oldisface = Card.is_face function Card:is_face() if SMODS.has_enhancement(self, 'm_prefix_facecard') then return true end return oldisface(self) end replacing prefix with your mod prefix.

[daring fern]

How could one do this without the card not returning to deck?

Also how could I tell cryptid to put seals on jokers for the seal decks?

[tawny narwhal]

Chat I was dumb

I forgor to customise my VSCode

Now I have free photoshop

yay

[warped marsh]

This might sound a bit niche of a question but I want to add another slot, so the "Joker" is in it's own slot with its own amount allowed, and only those types of Jokers are allowed. Is there any mod that kind of does that?

[daring fern]

I looked at cryptid and it has the same problem.

[daring fern]

You mean a new card area?

[warped marsh]

Basically, yea. Think of it as another Joker/Consumable slot

[daring fern]

Baladrone does that I think.

[next timber]

is there a template for coloured jokers with the thicker white border?

[brazen tusk]

theres a joker at the bottom of the pins in #🎨・fan-art , you can js get rid of the inside

border is 2px wide

[heavy canopy]

How would you go about creating a joker that change a card's suit/rank to another ?
I tried using other modded jokers as a reference but could not make it work

[runic pecan]

Can badge colour have gradient?

[runic pecan]

What about Star/Moon/Sun/World codes?

[heavy canopy]

I tried doing this : if context.after and context.cardarea == G.play then for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do local _card = context.scoring_hand[i] local suit_prefix = suit_data.card_key event({ _card:set_base(G.P_CARDS[suit_prefix..'Q']) }) end end

[heavy canopy]

true

idk if it applied for joker but I will check it out

[runic pecan]

I use :change_suit in my mod's code, if this would help.

[heavy canopy]

thx

[runic pecan]

Capped initial, with s.

[runic pecan]

Wait, I didn't see the rank part.
You'll need Strength code in that case.
I think :set_base(which is what you're already doing) might be better.

[brazen tusk]

very cool!!

[tawny narwhal]

Bruh I actually really enjoy doing sound design

If anyone wants help with sound stuff, HMU

[hushed field]

be careful with that because I might just send you 50 requests immediately, otherwise 😛

[tawny narwhal]

Woah lmao, I'd do it, but IDK how long it'd take

I got assignments to do lmao

it's 2am... I have class at 8:30... Maybe I need to be a little more organized disciplined

[brazen tusk]

😭

i be doing that daily, not a good lifestyle 😔

[tawny narwhal]

Not at all

[hushed field]

hahaha, I haven't looked into sound stuff at all, so asking people for sound stuff would be a bit too pre-emptive 😛 I'll worry about sound once I get these alien abduction shaders going

[daring fern]

How do check if a consumable is being used and it is the consumable the seal is on?

[tawny narwhal]

I had just reset my body clock too.... 9pm bedtime my beloved...

[brazen tusk]

was like 5am for me yesterday

[modern kindle]

And then I'll get to ask you to do shaders for me bestie

[brazen tusk]

do you know how to get it working in game?

[tawny narwhal]

Honestly it's pretty simple, but then again my methods are crude so...

[tawny narwhal]

I'll send my code as an example

SMODS.Sound {
    key = 'LJet_SCruiseUpgrade',
    path = 'SuperCruising.ogg',
}

...

-- RESET IF 'UPGRADE' NOT FULFILLED - MORE THAN ONE HAND PER BLIND IS USED
        if G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 1 and context.hand_drawn and card.ability.extra.Xmult ~= 1 then
            card.ability.extra.Xmult = 1
            return{
                message = 'Subsonic...',
                sound = 'LJet_SCruiseReset',
                colour = G.C.ATTENTION,
            }
        end

[brazen tusk]

ohhh i see

needs to be within the joker

[tawny narwhal]

SMODS.Sound is for "pre-loading" the sounds, Documentation is here

[brazen tusk]

should be good if i move my smods.sound to the right place

ty

[tawny narwhal]

??

[brazen tusk]

my smods.sound is set up within my main lua as if im trying to import it into the mod rather than calling it within the joker

[tawny narwhal]

Yeah it'd need to be in the same file as where you want to call it

Also, if anyone knows how to cancel a sound being played, let me know. I have a Joker that spawns negative Diet Cola's and I want the negative sound not to play when they are created.

[daring fern]

Are you using set_edition()?

[tawny narwhal]

No

SMODS.add_card({key = 'j_diet_cola', edition = 'e_negative'}),

[daring fern]

set_editon() has a silent option.

[runic pecan]

Yup, like this ⬇️

[tawny narwhal]

Ahhhhhh rightio

Wait I'm not very intelligent

How do I do this for the Diet Cola

I've done it to the Joker that spawns them......

[runic pecan]

Theoretically, each diet cola that freshly added to your joker slot will always be the last/rightmost joker, i.e. G.jokers.cards[#G.jokers.cards].
So you just need to SMODS.add_card({key = 'j_diet_cola'}), and then immediately G.jokers.cards[#G.jokers.cards]:set_edition('e_negative', nil, true)

[tawny narwhal]

I haven't tested it with the Pepsi Jet (joker that creates the colas) anywhere other than on the right, but like you said they should all spawn at the right regardless... Little janky but it should work.

[maiden river]

am I cooking

[long sun]

working with an enhancement — how can i check if the enhanced card was played?

[maiden river]

like, played and scored or just played?

[long sun]

ah ya, played and scored

[brazen tusk]

context.cardarea == G.play is how its done usually but idk if it translates to enhancements

[long sun]

not sure about that

[brazen tusk]

where would i put SMODS.Sound:register_global() ? if i even need it

can't seem to get it to work still, thinks im looking for the sound in the default files

[tawny narwhal]

What are your sound keys?

[onyx sonnet]

i just realized we have the same badge color lol

[maiden river]

lmao

[agile dew]

hello! im new to modding

[brazen tusk]

got this within my jokers calculate

[onyx sonnet]

btw yes u are cooking

[sturdy compass]

This is a good concept

[maiden river]

me when my heart

[heavy canopy]

agreed

[agile dew]

is there a place i can learn what each parameter means?

[maiden river]

no way it's the real astra maximus

[sturdy compass]

[brazen tusk]

then this higher up

[onyx sonnet]

hi astra

[maiden river]

the docs 🗣️
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki

[heavy canopy]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Consumable, using other mods as a reference, and trial and error

lol

[maiden river]

specifically consumable 😭

[onyx sonnet]

me watching the doctor slip two green dice into my ribcage while operating on my heart

[tawny narwhal]

sound key has to be *ModPrefix_SoundFileName*

[sturdy compass]

Hey whatever gets ya through the operation

[heavy canopy]

It was the page I was currently looking at lol

[agile dew]

thanks!

[maiden river]

"I don't get paid enough muhnee for this"

[tawny narwhal]

"Just slap a gold seal on it"

[sturdy compass]

rae have you seen my cursed jokers with seals

[maiden river]

no

astra what have you done

[heavy canopy]

#⚙・modding-general message
And another one :

[maiden river]

😭

[onyx sonnet]

oh dear god

[maiden river]

maximus has gone off the rails

[sturdy compass]

lmfao

The implementation is kinda funny

[brazen tusk]

still gives me the same error 😩

oh wait i didnt change it in both place

im dumb

[tawny narwhal]

Relatable

[sturdy compass]

You only need to change it in the return, not the object initialization

For example

[thin anchor]

hello

[tawny narwhal]

Oh this is nice

[tawny narwhal]

Are your files nested as:

└──Test
    ├── Test.lua
    └── assets
        └── sounds
            ├── e_mosaic.ogg
            ├── music_big.ogg
            └── music_jimball.ogg```

[sturdy compass]

Fuck it leet text time

[tepid eagle]

box building characters woauh

[tawny narwhal]

I leet my text till I baltro

[brazen tusk]

yep

[sturdy compass]

Wait I didn't even notice til you said that wtf

[tawny narwhal]

the power of ctrl+c ctrl+v

[sturdy compass]

I had no idea those were basic ASCII characters

[wicked leaf]

erm..

the hell I do wrong...

[brazen tusk]

does the SMODS.Sound have to be inside the SMODS.Joker or can it exist outside it?

[sturdy compass]

It can exist independently

[zealous glen]

The code that destroys the cards

[tawny narwhal]

Wait your SMODS.Sound is nested in SMODS.Joker?

[brazen tusk]

not rn im wondering if it does need to be

i'd think not though

[sturdy compass]

It does not need to be

[brazen tusk]

this is how i have it

[tawny narwhal]

No yeah I wouldn't

[sturdy compass]

oh you don't need to specify sounds/

[brazen tusk]

i tried with and without

but ill try again bc

[tawny narwhal]

Code block time?

[sturdy compass]

the sound attribute in the return should be [modprefix]_chomp

[brazen tusk]

as we know doing the same thing over and over again in coding sometimes happens to actually solve the problem

yeah my prefix is Test rn

[sturdy compass]

ah ok

[tawny narwhal]

set key as Test_chomp in initialisation

[sturdy compass]

No don't do that

[tawny narwhal]

or is that another redundency?

[tawny narwhal]

Y

That's what I've done and my sounds work

[sturdy compass]

if you do that then you would have to return sound = Test_Test_chomp

[tawny narwhal]

Works like a dream

[sturdy compass]

I wish I could help but this is something I've never seen before and have no clue what's wrong. Very odd

[brazen tusk]

gives the same crash either way

[wicked leaf]

this game hates me </3

[brazen tusk]

dont need atlas_ there im p sure

[wicked leaf]

its just there for organizing purposes

[sturdy compass]

I mean if you're specifying that as a key it should be fine

[agile dew]

how can i retrigger jokers in specified positions?

[sturdy compass]

probably if context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and context.other_card == G.jokers.cards[position]

[tawny narwhal]

This error means SMODS isn't looking in your assets -> sounds folder

[sturdy compass]

Show your file structure

[tawny narwhal]

It's almost always a key/prefix/file structure issue

[tawny narwhal]

What file type are your sounds?

[brazen tusk]

ogg

[tawny narwhal]

And you initiate before you call?

Cause if so then I'm stumped

[vague helm]

Hi! Does anyone know how to modify the order in which cards are drawn? I'm trying to implement this Joker. I don't believe there are any Jokers in the base game that change drawing orders

[tawny narwhal]

Goated Joker art

[next timber]

aiko has a joker that changes draw order i think

[brazen tusk]

goated joker idea as well

very cool

[long sun]

hiya, sorry this shader isn't working

lemme grab the error rq

[next timber]

i have the github for aikos mod open, one sec

[vague helm]

Art from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/balatro/comments/1jhspkl/comment/mja2ekz/ - I'm helping to implement this collection. Very close to being ready for playtesting

[rugged pier]

yo why is my voucher still locked?

[brazen tusk]

did you add this?

[rugged pier]

no, base game

[tawny narwhal]

Wait... huh? Maybe try SMODS.Sound-ing in each Joker file.

[rugged pier]

okay i restarted the app

it worked

[daring fern]

Try this. ```lua
local oldshuffle = CardArea.shuffle
function CardArea:shuffle(_seed)
local g = oldshuffle(self, _seed)
if self == G.deck then
local prioritys = {}
local otherones = {}
for k, v in pairs(self.cards) do
if v.seal == "Blue" then
table.insert(prioritys, v)
else
table.insert(otherones, v)
end
end
for _, card in ipairs(prioritys) do
table.insert(otherones, card)
end
self.cards = otherones
self:set_ranks()
end
return g
end

You would have to check the joker is present though.

[vague helm]

Interesting. So this wouldn't be in the Joker code itself.

[sturdy compass]

I have no idea how to do shader stuff, but maybe try adding the mod prefix to the shader key when specifying it in the edition?

[brazen tusk]

smods. WHAT?!?!?!? 😱 ❗❗❗⭕ 👆

[tawny narwhal]

Could be if you do an if statement surely?

[tawny narwhal]

oh dear

[long sun]

nada

[vague helm]

Yes, I would need to add code here that detects the existence of the Joker. I'm just assuming that this is not in the Joker object at all

[wicked leaf]

anyone got any idea what's happening?

[tawny narwhal]

Corrupted file is my best guess

[sturdy compass]

oh phanta is the prefix

[tawny narwhal]

I'm definitely wrong

[wicked leaf]

I mean, it opens on the computer

and I JUST imported it

[tawny narwhal]

Hence why I'm wrong

[wicked leaf]

I could try reimporting it I guess

[brazen tusk]

im fairly certain its the file naming

whats your mod prefix?

[wicked leaf]

lfskins, its right there in the log

[sturdy compass]

Atlases don't use prefixes

[brazen tusk]

words come up multiple times so i wasnt sure

[sturdy compass]

So where are you using the atlas?

I'd like to see that

[brazen tusk]

^

[long sun]

ya so, i'm using the Shader atlas in my edition

the shader is phanta_waxed.fs

[stiff locust]

is there a way to automatically check if an enhancement's always scores argument has triggered (on the enhancement itself)

[tawny narwhal]

as in file name?

[vague helm]

I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks @daring fern !

[long sun]

mhmhm

[stiff locust]

i say automatically because yes I could manually check if the card was scored by that but that would be annoying

[sturdy compass]

don't use "lfskins_" in the palette atlas key

[uncut grail]

hey im just kind of super confused
i make a card debuffed and then add a joker using debug plus and then the debuff just washes away

is that normal

[wicked leaf]

same error

[tawny narwhal]

Key name should be ModPrefix_FileName

[wicked leaf]

I put it there since other mods like bunco were putting it there

[brazen tusk]

dont need the prefix in the key!

[sturdy compass]

bunco is not a mod you should be basing your code off of lmao

[wicked leaf]

I just changed it, same crash

[tawny narwhal]

Everyone keeps saying this but it works?

[long sun]

yeah no, that didn't work either

[brazen tusk]

everything i do that works doesnt have it

i use prefixes on my keys outside of the main lua like in my localisation files but thats it

[tawny narwhal]

Sorry no you're right, atlas doesnt need it, sound does (at least in my code that works)

[tawny narwhal]

Have I got an old version of SMODS?

I updated it like 3 days ago

[long sun]

it shouldn't be an issue with that

[sturdy compass]

Hmmm, weird. Here's how I have a deck skin set up for reference if it happens to help at all

[tawny narwhal]

Yeah IDK, I probably have something goofy going on with my SMODS.Sound and SMODS.Atlas... But they work so oh well

[brazen tusk]

so true

[wicked leaf]

ok im just gonna

try to change the filenames

[tawny narwhal]

I should clarify, I'm new to coding and modding. I've been doing it for like 2 days.

So hopefully that explains any of my ignorence

[brazen tusk]

ive been at it barely a week so nw lol

i think most of us in here are just as confused as the next person and js trying to help where we can

[sturdy compass]

I’ve been doing this for months and I’m confused lmao

[brazen tusk]

doesn't get easier you just learn more

[hushed field]

i mean, some things get easier

[sturdy compass]

Ehhhh I’d say it gets easier

[hushed field]

once you're comfortable, you need less documentation 😛

but still some documentation. I need to figure out how sliders work for this #1353866504743161886 config and they're just not showing up

[brazen tusk]

-# doesn't get you all that far in the first place, no offense to the smods team they've done a great job making modding way more accessible and easy

[native star]

hello hi

[sturdy compass]

Heya

[brazen tusk]

well i say that like i didnt get a mod working

[native star]

been looking around for a potential answer to something I've been hunting down over the past day or so

[brazen tusk]

im such a hater sometimes smh

[native star]

do feel like this was very likely asked in the past though so, apologies if it is an annoying question

[sturdy compass]

Just ask! No need to pander

[tawny narwhal]

np homie

[sturdy compass]

We gotcha here

[brazen tusk]

^^

[native star]

been trying to look for a means to either replicate or copy Shortcut's effect into my own Joker, i.e. allow straights to be made with a gap, I know steammodded's got get_straight but for the life of me I cannot fully understand how to utilize it, been using this mod as a means to study lua so, very new, wouldn't call myself the best programmer either

[wicked leaf]

that didnt work

[brazen tusk]

does the atlas in the palettes still have the prefix?

[wicked leaf]

it doesnt have to do with the deckskin

it has to do with the atlas not being able to retrieve the file

[brazen tusk]

the file is 100% called ashie.png right?

[vast lily]

I'm trying to make a joker which scales based on the player's full deck composition, like Cloud 9, it works as intended rn but idk how to make the description text always show the correct value the way Cloud 9 or Bull/Bootstraps have it

[wicked leaf]

yes

the file is not corrupted either

[tawny narwhal]

It relates to your config

[brazen tusk]

remove the underscore from the key on the off chance it thinks its a prefix?

[tawny narwhal]

Where I have #2# is a dynamic number, corresponding to the second value listed in the config.extra

Same with #1#

[vast lily]

i know that

[tawny narwhal]

So add a config for it

[vast lily]

idk how to make the text always stay up to date with the number of a specific rank in the deck

[wicked leaf]

nope

[tawny narwhal]

oh mb

[wicked leaf]

I've literally MADE atlases like this before I dont know why this one isnt working

[brazen tusk]

oh!!! you dont need a comma on that last line in your atlas

bloody commas

and at the bottom after pos

and all those brackets at the bottom*

[wicked leaf]

same error

also yes I do need those brackets

wtf are you saying

[brazen tusk]

i mean the commas after them

if its at the end of smth it doesnt need a comma after it

[wicked leaf]

it CAN have them even if it doesnt need them

also the problem is in the ATLAS

as I have said

you keep saying to change things in the deckskin

[brazen tusk]

because that comes up first but if the whole thing is crashing its sometimes a weird formatting error, for me at least

[brazen tusk]

if this is the case then theres 0 reason i can think of as to why it isnt working

is your smods updated?

[tawny narwhal]

Here is how it's implemented for cloud 9

            self.ability.nine_tally = 0
            for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
                if v:get_id() == 9 then self.ability.nine_tally = self.ability.nine_tally+1 end
            end
        end```

[vast lily]

i have that in my calculate function already and the card scores properly

it's just the description text im trying to fix

[brazen tusk]

do you have it set up in config?

[long sun]

still no luck with my edition :<

i tried renaming the shader to just waxed.fs but it didn't work

it's in assets/shaders

[vast lily]

what i think i need to do is make it so my total_mult variable updates more often but im worried about causing the game to lag if i make it update TOO often

[brazen tusk]

if you dont already you gotta have them set up as a variable and assign a value in config outside the calculate

[tawny narwhal]

Bruh yeah Cloud 9 desc is hopeless in helping here

[brazen tusk]

the language files take from the values and variables assigned here

[tawny narwhal]

Mainly cause I can't find its config

[brazen tusk]

so #1# would be the value card.ability.extra.mult has

[vast lily]

config = { extra = { mult = 4, ace_tally = 0, total_mult = 0 } },
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.total_mult } }
end,

this is what mine looks like rn, i dont have ace_tally in loc_vars because the text box never needs the raw ace tally

[brazen tusk]

needs to be there in the same order if you want it working in the desc

js put card.ability.extra.ace_tally

should work then

[vague helm]

Worked like a charm, @daring fern . Thanks!
