[sturdy compass]

Cuz you probably haven't done the init_game_object hook and I do not wanna explain that myself rn

[last sentinel]

the apply never runs either?? yeesh

[sturdy compass]

[last sentinel]

but this does??

maybe im using the wrong type of comma or something, slipped a zero instead of an o.

gotta be something dumb but i have no hair left to pull out over this

[sturdy compass]

surely not

[tall wharf]

test A

[long acorn]

if ive known that shit existed in the first place oh my god

sorry for sounding like a chimp with a laptop rn

[long acorn]

i give up

[rugged pier]

sounding like a chimp with a laptop defines my existence off late tbh

i could create wonders with python but lua....

[long acorn]

for some reason it reads the joker itself as nil

[rugged pier]

show the code?

[long acorn]

this is in main (straight up just copied from the castle mod)

the game is pretending this doesnt exist apparently

[daring fern]

Try putting ret.current_round.jokermostwanted = {} before you define the rank.

[daring fern]

The castle example defines it in one variable from current_round

[long acorn]

almost*

(also the loc vars are out of order oops lol)

[daring fern]

Also why are you using is_rank?

[long acorn]

cause i cant find rebate to base it off

[daring fern]

You should be using get_id()

[placid star]

how could I use custom text colours? e.g. {C:mult} but as a custom hex colour?

[long acorn]

so just this

cool

[reef belfry]

GOD i love packs

[daring fern]

No, you would set G.GAME.current_round.jokermostwanted.id to target_card.base.id then check if context.other_card:get_id() == G.GAME.current_round.jokermostwanted.id

[placid star]

hmm idk i think using ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ packs can ruin early econ... :/

[long acorn]

cool that brought back the crash lol

[daring fern]

What's the crash?

[long acorn]

this again

but in line 28 now

[shell timber]

holy shit Pack Reverie

[daring fern]

Which line is that?

[long acorn]

return {vars = {center.ability.extra.mult_gain, center.ability.extra.mult, localize(G.GAME.current_round.jokermostwanted.rank, 'ranks')}}

wait it just fixed itself what

now im back to the rank just being nil

[daring fern]

Where is mail_card defined here?

[long acorn]

idk actually
but i changed it back to the actual joker id

[placid star]

is there any tutorials for creating new consumable cards (e.g. sprctrals and tarots)?

[long acorn]

its G.GAME.current_round.jokermostwanted.rank = jokermostwanted.base.value now

still nil when it was mail_card tho

[daring fern]

https://youtu.be/BDxsA29yGFI

[long acorn]

yeah this one line is the last problem area remainingg

[shell timber]

why is it so far to the right

[zealous glen]

😭

[shell timber]

oh yeah they have that

[tall wharf]

so close 💔

[placid star]

what is the code to be able to destroy a joker and create one?

[zealous glen]

But why do they have fake cards 😭

[reef belfry]

okay...

[shell timber]

ok so the issue with this is that the way everyone does this is by multiplying the width by some value

which is fine if just one mod does it but it ends up scaling horribly

[long acorn]

where does castle pull the base suit?

[tall wharf]

why does this only draw one card

[zealous glen]

Idk maybe it’s due to event timing?

It doesn’t detect the “correct” amount of space?

[zealous glen]

not mario this is your conscience speaking… you want to make a SMODS PR… and send Victin $100…

[tall wharf]

ah

i think i know why

thank you

[zealous glen]

I would suspect it’s thunk’s style to only assign the Castle variable or Castle exists

And honestly I think it’s justifiable

So if you’re trying to use the vanilla variable maybe it just doesn’t exist

Again,

Check out Castle in the example mods

[long acorn]

that is from the example mod

[zealous glen]

What is the problem then?

[long acorn]

its not reading a base value for some reason

[tall wharf]

okay for the record I'm pretty sure the card limit was set to 1 so it didn't do anything more

[zealous glen]

Maybe your loc_vars are wrong

[zealous glen]

Card limit?

[tall wharf]

yes

i had tableau cards limit set to 1

[long acorn]

maybe idk

[tall wharf]

i guess I'm setting default to 52

[peak tiger]

How do I create a random tarot card?

[zealous glen]

Try printing the rank to see if it’s correct, then double check your code defining the rank to make sure it’s correct

Maybe print there too

[zealous glen]

You can use SMODS.add_card

[tall wharf]

awesomesauce

[long acorn]

ok it is the base value fucking up for some reason

[tall wharf]

did you add game object variable

[long acorn]

yes

[rugged pier]

SMODS.Consumable {
    set = 'Tarot',
    key = 'thug',
    --atlas = 'scadrial',
    pos = { x = 6, y = 2 },
    config = {
        min_highlighted = 1,
        max_highlighted = 2
    },
    discovered = true,
    unlocked = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = { 
                card.ability.max_highlighted
            }
        },
    can_use = function(self, card)
        if #G.hand.highlighted < card.ability.max_highlighted or #G.hand.highlighted > card.ability.min_highlighted then
            return false
        end
        return true
    end,
    use = function(self, card)
        for k, v in ipairs(G.hand.highlighted) do
            v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_csmr_pewterdrag, nil, true)
    end,
}

what is my error in this code? the importing of this file into my mod fails

--Thug: Enhances 2 cards to Pewter Drag Cards
this is what its trying to do

[reef belfry]

its sjust looking at me like its judging me for my mistake

[tall wharf]

❤️

thank you minecraft

[manic rune]

wheres the font tool in aesprite

gah

aseprite*

i might be dum

[hushed field]

text tool?

t

as in press t

[manic rune]

oh

:3

[placid star]

so uh guys? I'm trying to make a consumable that will generate a 'special' joker (special is a custom rarity i defined) but I can't get it to generate, I copied the code from riff raff and modified it a lil but it still doesn't work, any ideas?

[foggy carbon]

I'd suggest copying from Soul instead

[placid star]

ahh okay ty I'll try that!

[placid star]

I had a look and the code seems very similar so I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong:/

[zealous glen]

As I said I’m pretty sure you need a table

[placid star]

where the sigma do i put the table 💔💔

[daring fern]

How does one draw a image on a card?

[spring lantern]

as in how to make a sprite for a card?

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Atlas

cards are usually 71 pixels wide and 95 pixels tall i believe

[daring fern]

No, i'm trying to put a second seal on a card I have everything except the sprite.

[spring lantern]

i'm pretty sure seals also use the atlas system tho

[primal robin]

It's joover

[tall wharf]

fuck this shit

[daring fern]

This draws a seal where it usually would be, but I want to have a seal be down by about 29 pixels.

[primal robin]

Did you implement vertical card area, or just place cards manually by coords?

[tall wharf]

vertical card area

[primal robin]

No way

[shell timber]

oh yeah isn't that the one time local thunk is used in the entire codebase

[tall wharf]

why is it fucked up

[spring lantern]

this is the 'Enhancers' atlas from base game, you could consider just making a new atlas with whichever seals you want placed where they need to be

[tall wharf]

i made debuff seal lmao

[spring lantern]

that would probably not have very good compatibility with mods though but it's a start

[daring fern]

I have already done that.

[reef belfry]

does vol in SMODS.sound work

[crisp coral]

yes

[long acorn]

what's that between challenge and anaglyph

[zealous glen]

Draw shader has an input to move the sprite

[spring lantern]

no clue, probably an unused sprite

[zealous glen]

Or you can make the sprite itself be positioned differently

[daring fern]

Which one is that?

[zealous glen]

the ones that transform the x and y coordinates

[reef belfry]

does this seem fair

[spring lantern]

hermit but 1 in 4 chance to get stoned? seems good to me

(also don't need to have money to get 20 bucks so it could save your econ)

(also great concept i laffed)

[olive saddle]

I want to make a "sub-mod" ie a mod that relies on another mod to work, how do I do that?

[spring lantern]

first of all you add the mod to the dependencies on your mod's json file

and then just make your mod

profit

:3

[daring fern]

I tried showing just the second seal it looked like this, this is a gold seal.

Code for reference.

[olive saddle]

cool!

[spring lantern]

the fabled ghost seal

[slender cape]

is anyone here familiar with malverk

[spring lantern]

so uh, here's a dumb idea i had yesterday, anyone familiar with roffle lore™️ wanna help out? :3

[daring fern]

Progress.

[heavy hare]

how do i update the definition of a UIBox?
i'm removing a sprite and wanting to shrink the size of the grouping box to fit around the sprites that are there

[modern kindle]

needs to be a bit lower i think...

[heavy hare]

i'm using config.object:remove to remove the sprite, but i want to edit the UIBox's definition

this is what it should look like when the other sprites are removed, but nothing i've done to change the UIBox's definition seems to go through

[daring fern]

How do I fix this issue where the bottom seal thinks it's still where it usually would be.

[spring lantern]

who tryna collab https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1357325052542062653

[manic rune]

this is based on the simpsons right

[reef belfry]

Yeah

That one episode where Cartman falls down the stairs

[manic rune]

sweet

[spring lantern]

dude that's my favorite episode from season 20 of the boondocks!

[hushed field]

what's the concept of those consumables? I love their look

[reef belfry]

I wasnt really going for a specific look

But for some reason i associated gold with chance

[olive saddle]

where would the dependencies be? using this as a reference?

[reef belfry]

And the actual consumable art is just obscure references from internet media

And i base the ability/function on the actual bit from said media

[spring lantern]

add a new field like this

(inside dependencies you just place whatever mods your mod depends on)

[hushed field]

ah, so there's not equivalent consumables that are like 'drama' or 'tragedy'?

[olive saddle]

and that would be the ID?

as in in the dependencies I write in the ID of the mod?

[reef belfry]

i WAS going to do that

But i think itd hinder my creativity in terms of making consumables

Since im basing everything on pre existing media

[spring lantern]

i recommend you check out the template here https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata

probably explains it better than i ever could

[olive saddle]

okay cool thanks!

[hushed field]

I mean, I'm probably biased considering my mod has each joker be a movie reference, and each new consumable is a type of food, but I do think it can be really helpful, creativity-wise, to have a theme to adhere to. Both in making things feel consistent, and helping figure out how to approach new effects

[reef belfry]

Hmmm

Ill see what i can do

[quartz ravine]

morning folks

[daring fern]

Is it possible to put a sprite from an atlas on a card like a seal?

[hushed field]

Yes. What are you trying to do?

[daring fern]

I'm trying to put a second seal on a card. I only need the image of the seal on the card.

[hushed field]

I'm not entirely sure as to how it'll work on the set_sprite end of it all, but I'd recommend seeing how stickers do it. The only thing you'll wanna do is shift the seal down, probably

[daring fern]

I tried that and this happened

It only visually moves.

[hushed field]

is that not exactly what you want?

oh what do you mean moves?

[daring fern]

It still thinks its where it usually would be.

[hushed field]

oh yeah, you'd have to see how the movement is applied and offset what it sees as the centre of the sprite

it's 'moving correctly', but you have to remember that while the only non-transparent part of the sprite is the seal, the seal sprite itself is the same size as a card

I'd have assumed seals wouldn't move on their own, and just be a child sprite of the main card object, but I guess that's not the case

[placid star]

how would you check the rarity of a joker? e.g. in the context of [G.jokers.cards[i]]

[daring fern]

G.jokers.cards[i].config.center.rarity

[placid star]

tyyy

[daring fern]

How would I offset the centre?

[hushed field]

I'm not sure, you'll have to dig a bit more into how the sprites are set up. Sorry I can't be a better help there

[daring fern]

Could this be it?

[hushed field]

that'll be the sprite's placement. I'm not sure how balatro handles the centre for its sprite movement, though

[zealous glen]

you need to set the major to be the card

That way it automatically tracks the card correctly

[daring fern]

How do I do that?

[quartz ravine]

Yessss

[zealous glen]

something like this

    set_sprites = function(self, card, front)
        if self.discovered or card.bypass_discovery_center then
            card.children.floating_sprite_vic_belt = Sprite(card.T.x, card.T.y, card.T.w, card.T.h,
                G.ASSET_ATLAS[card.config.center.atlas], {
                    x = 0,
                    y = 2
                })
            card.children.floating_sprite_vic_belt.role.draw_major = card
            card.children.floating_sprite_vic_belt.states.hover.can = false
            card.children.floating_sprite_vic_belt.states.click.can = false
        end
    end

[daring fern]

Where do I put this?

[quartz ravine]

I have this concept of Grass cards, which are like a stone card that start at +0 chips. However they level up when held in your hand

Currently it's an enhancement but I am playing with this idea of it also enforcing a custom edition, so I can pass that accrued +chips to the shader. The idea is they will start brown and get greener and more vibrant as they are held longer

[hushed field]

you can set up shaders on the enhancement itself, no?

[spark pumice]

Oh I see ty! So- When do I use not context.blueprint? Isn’t the blueprint only going to use the code in the if context.blueprint part?

[quartz ravine]

I have heard this is possible @hushed field , but I couldn't figure it out. I do know how to get this working using an edition though.

[daring fern]

You put not context.blueprint when you don't want a blueprint doing something. And yes.

[spark pumice]

Oh okay! Ty!

[quartz ravine]

Nice parappa the rapper profile pic!

[zealous glen]

Depends on what you're doing

[thin anchor]

meh

[quartz ravine]

this is weird! For some reason this is retriggering held cards after the round is over

      if context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition and context.other_card and context.other_card.ability and context.other_card.ability.name == "Grass Card" and not context.after then
            return {
                message = localize('k_again_ex'),
                repetitions = card.ability.extra,
                card = card
            }
            --context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and not context.after
        elseif context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.other_card.ability and context.other_card.ability.name == 'Grass Card' and not context.after then
            sendInfoMessage("1849, new method for held grass", self.key)

            return {
                message = localize('k_again_ex'),
                repetitions = card.ability.extra,
                card = heldCard
            }
        elseif context.joker_main and context.repetition and not context.after then
            sendInfoMessage(" checking for held grass", self.key)
            for _, heldCard in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                local cardAbility = heldCard.ability.name or "nil"
                if cardAbility == "Grass Card" then
                    sendInfoMessage(heldCard.base.id .. " has ability of " .. cardAbility)
                    return {
                        message = localize('k_again_ex'),
                        repetitions = card.ability.extra,
                        card = heldCard
                    }
                end
            end
        end

I thought my and not context.after would keep me from firing in that case

[quartz ravine]

I was wrong, it was logic in the Grass Card edition itself that was doing this 🙃, not this joker

[daring fern]

I'm pretty sure it is tracking the card but since the draw_shader is moving it down it is not correct.

[gentle rain]

you would just append "and not context.blueprint" anywhere in your context for a trigger you don't want to be copied by blueprint, such as a scaling ability like runner

[spark pumice]

Ahh ok ok ty

[zealous glen]

I've moved Sprites before and it worked for me

this is also how the game moves soul sprites

or all sprites really

[daring fern]

I'm pretty sure I'm already setting the major.

[hushed field]

Does SMODS.Jokers contain every joker, or just ones added by mods?

[zealous glen]

the major needs to be the card not the sprite

nor the center

usually in SMODS, self is the Center

[reef belfry]

This looks a bit ehh

[daring fern]

self is the card because self.extraseal is the seal. This is in a DrawStep

[thin anchor]

good enough

[wintry arch]

not sure if this is quite the right channel to ask this but,

has anyone done an exhaustive search for seeds similar to the all 10 of spades erratic seed?

[daring fern]

How would I put the atlas on the card?

[red flower]

im far past normal calculate contexts

[thin anchor]

what is that.

im scared

[red flower]

more complicated context checks for my effects

[thin anchor]

i see

[red flower]

also i make like 100 cards at a time so i need helper functions or i die

[daring fern]

Also the seal does not persist if I exit and come back.

[minor furnace]

An exhaustive search of all roughly (36^9 - 1)/35 seeds? Wonder how long that would take to compute

that's a lot of seeds

[red flower]

not even naneinf

[minor furnace]

so true

[wintry arch]

might take a bit but you could find like a solid 0.001% of em

[native zinc]

rahhhh github public

[minor furnace]

you'd also need to define a threshold for what deck you think is "interesting" to store the seeds, because there's no way you're storing every single one of those decks

[glad osprey]

how make card area

[wintry arch]

i mean like. how do minecraft seed hunters do it

[glad osprey]

bedrock

[minor furnace]

also, I think this means there are significantly fewer seeds than there are theoretically possible combinations for the erratic deck?

[glad osprey]

wait shit wrong end

[wintry arch]

whag

[glad osprey]

that's how you find coords based on the seed not vice versa

[wintry arch]

yes i am aware. the 10 of spades one comes from a bug in the prng, right?

[native zinc]

yup

[minor furnace]

and the order of magnitude isn't even close

[native zinc]

consider the 52 cards and the 52 choices...

that's a lot

[wintry arch]

well to be fair some of them are repeats

it's not 52^52

[minor furnace]

yeah you have to factor out permutations, but even still

[native zinc]

it's still greater than 52! iirc

[wintry arch]

yes yes, big number

[minor furnace]

it might be, I haven't looked into it that deeply

[limber blaze]

is it actually a bug or did there just so happen to be a seed where you get all 10 of spades i never knew that

like wacky uncommon stuff happens all the time when you have access to this many seeds its not unfathomably although it definitely looks like a bug

[native zinc]

there's actually several dozen 10 of spades seeds

[limber blaze]

probably a bug then

its definitely a possibility that you just get lucky enough to get a seed like that naturally but when theres multiple occurences of something that common its probably a bug

[brazen kite]

is it a bug per se or a quirk of the prng itself

[native zinc]

wait sorry there's just 2 iirc

[minor furnace]

I didn't realize there was more than one 10 of spades decks

[brazen kite]

no theres a lot

i think

[native zinc]

there's 2 famous ones*

[brazen kite]

yeah

[native zinc]

one is the first one the other just has like

oops, all holos

so you see people running either the first one or oops all holos all 10 of spades

but there's quite a decent more that start of 10 of spades

im pretty sure some seeds fuck up booster packs to be all 10 of spades too

balatro really likes 10 of spades

[minor furnace]

if only it was the Ace instead

[brazen kite]

fjeirbrndkdi i used Back.trigger_effect and console said it’s deprecated but when i switch to calculate it literally doesnt do anything

[native zinc]

idk i modded a joker in just so i can play ten of spades seeds with ridiculous output

[minor furnace]

realizing I haven't updated my smods in a few weeks, should probably do that now

[native zinc]

if you're already playing exploited seeded then you can also cheat by doing this /j

[minor furnace]

finally, a synergy for xChips Jokers

[daring fern]

Is there a way to retrigger a joker without returning?

[reef belfry]

Whats a good compromise when the text isnt symmetric

Its off by 1 pixel and its making me mad

[minor furnace]

cry and accept it

just like the rest of us

[glad osprey]

wide A

or thin A

[minor furnace]

you can either have symmetric text, or consistent font sizes, but not both

[glad osprey]

or Soda Can

[long urchin]

I like ur pfp!!!

[lament sparrow]

Do we have access to the lua for the base jokers?

[hushed field]

the entire source code is accessible

[lament sparrow]

Huh. Maybe I missed it, but I couldn't it

[hushed field]

have you played with mods before? In that case, you can see the patched code in the lovely folder

[lament sparrow]

I have played with mods before. I was assuming it was within the game files

[faint yacht]

Open the main executable as an archive. 🍞

[hushed field]

the lovely dump is the source code patched with smods, which if you're interested in making your own mod is often slightly more useful to look at. The main source code is accessible if you own the game on steam and enter the executable as an archive

[lament sparrow]

I see. If the lovely dump has it, it'll be easier for me to just look at that

[limber blaze]

the lovely dump will have more accurate line numbers for errors too

[rugged pier]

Bump

[daring fern]

Your loc_vars is missing an end also do you not have the lua extension?

[rugged pier]

No it throws a bunch of errors when I use it (not syntax errors)

Just doesn’t recognize my SMODS

And it’s just really annoying

[rugged pier]

Thank you, can’t believe I missed that lol

[daring fern]

Put SMODS in your workspace.

[rugged pier]

Does the folder have to be called SMODS or can it be Steammodded

Cause I have it in my workspace

[daring fern]

Try calling it smods

[brazen kite]

thanks! i made it myself

[rugged pier]

Let me check

[gilded narwhal]

hey guys how would i distinguish if a playing card is added from a standard pack or not

[rugged pier]

didnt fix it

[long urchin]

its very

interesting ::::)

wink wonk

[lament sparrow]

Is it the card.lua file where the jokers are?

[limber blaze]

game defines a lot of specific cards

G.P_CENTERS is where a lot of definitions will be

but in terms of actual calculations im unsure

[lament sparrow]

The reason why I'm asking is because I would like to see how Bootstraps is coded

[placid star]

any ideas why my game crashes on boot? i am certain it is this consumable because it started crashing after I changed a couple things in it (i cant remeber what i changed tbh :( )

[hushed field]

Your text isn't a table, in loc_txt

[hushed field]

The calculations are all over. Best thing to do is to look for a joker's name, and see where it is used

[stark geode]

Wait how do you control how often your custom rarity shows up in the shop

[placid star]

Okay so my can_use works as intended! but on use my game will crash with this error :/, can anyone suggest any fixes?

[remote sequoia]

Is there a reasonable way to make a blue seal either not (attempt to) make anything or make it give a specific card? I have a hand type with no associated planet card (playing this Joker-related hand automatically wins the blind so there is no scaling it up) and having a blue seal crashes the game trying to make the non-existing planet. I'd happily give a pluto if needed, otherwise just preventing it from trying works too.

[placid star]

setting [default_weight] in a rarity class controls that, dont quote me but i believe common has a 0.7 weight (70% chance of every joker being a common) i THINK

[remote sequoia]

actually, looks like our issues are similar @placid star. Maybe try making sure the joker was created before calling add_to_deck with it?

[runic pecan]

Hmmm, seems like I've missed something.

Code shots incoming

[placid star]

wait how do you check it was created sorry?

[placid star]

@runic pecan i think you need to add pools to your code, im new so dont quote me but I'd give it a try!

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Consumable

[runic pecan]

Huh, I thought pools was optional.

[placid star]

it might be, but thats the only thing i can think for for that error :/

[stark geode]

Hey anyone know where the voucher sorce code is

I want to look at observatory

[runic pecan]

card.lua, since "apparently" they're a type of card.

[hardy viper]

reimplemented in smods

[stark geode]

Where

[hardy viper]

not a clue let me look rq

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/ae7cdeb161a633acace74f9860222447bc8945de/src/game_object.lua#L1214

[remote sequoia]

trying to find it at the moment. It looks like for your code it might be something like

if card and card.config.card and #card.config.card > 0 then
    card:add_to_deck()
    G.jokers:emplace(card)
end```

[placid star]

hm ill give it a try and get back to you!

[hardy viper]

G.jokers

[blazing cairn]

yall know how to fix the "attempt to index field "other_card' (a nil value]" issue

idk im dumb

[stark geode]

It there a context for when a consumable is created

[placid star]

still getting an error sadly :/

[sturdy compass]

There is context.card_added that triggers for all non-playing cards. You can check the set of context.card to see what type it is

[remote sequoia]

hm. So that tells me it's from the call to create_card itself. Is 'jjok_special' your card's proper id?

[placid star]

this is the entire code of my card after i changed the key to awake, im ngl i thought that part was for what you want to generate

[remote sequoia]

It is, I'm asking is the card you want to create actually refered to as jjok_special?

[placid star]

ohhh, no the rarity is... ill try it with the key of a specific card tho

[remote sequoia]

Yeah, you're creating a specific card with create_card

[placid star]

ah

i tried this and yes 'yuta' is a joker's key but still, the same error

[remote sequoia]

you likely need the joker and your mod's signifiers. assuming your mod's is jjok, try 'j_jjok_yuta'

[sturdy compass]

@placid star custom joker keys should follow the format j_[mod prefix]_[key]. For example, one of my jokers with a mod prefix ‘mxms’ looks like j_mxms_chef

This isn’t how it should be defined when making the Joker, but how it should be used

[placid star]

holy shit tysm guys the prefix worked!

can i generate a random joker of a custom rarity with create_card or do i need to use another function?

[sturdy compass]

You should try SMODS.add_card instead. It’s a lot cleaner, does more for you, and has more options

[placid star]

oh yeah, isnt that the one that doesnt need the emplace and add_to_deck?

[sturdy compass]

By “does more for you” I mean it creates the card, adds it to your deck, and emplaces it all in one fell swoop

[placid star]

ah yeah thats the one i thought it was! okay thats now been implemented, but can I generate a random joker from either a pool or custom rarity? if that makes sense

[rapid stag]

who knows anything about adding sprites to the title screen/main menu? in particular, i have an idea for something between the main menu buttons that occasionally and briefly pops out from them before returning, for a small bit

[sturdy compass]

That’s where the “more functionality” of the function I mentioned comes into play. You can specify rarity with add_card

I’m fairly certain you can do pools too, I’m just less educated on that. I know one of my cards does it I just forget how

[placid star]

ah, so for custom rarity generation you would do rarity = '[prefix]_[rarity_key]'?

[sturdy compass]

Yep!

I think

Not too sure how rarity keys are indexed so you may have to do some experimenting

I would assume that is correct tho

[placid star]

okay! thank you so much! you've been such a good help i cant thank you enough <3

[sturdy compass]

Any time

Ig that’s what months of doing this gets ya: decent knowledge on how to help others lol

[stark geode]

What's the var for the set of the card

[sturdy compass]

I believe it’s [card object].ability.set

[placid star]

omg so ive tried it with add_card and create_card, with emplace and add_to_deck yet they both crash with that error

yet when its only create_card, it draws the joker on screen, makes it draggable but it doesnt function as a joker

[hushed field]

created cards aren't placed in a card area!

you'll wanna do that yourself still, using :emplace

[placid star]

but when i emplace it, my game crashes, same with add_card

[hushed field]

this still doesn't use the proper key, no?

[sturdy compass]

This is a shot in the dark but try giving the local card variable a different name

Call it like “new_card” or smthn

[hushed field]

Also, never use a local named card in your calculate function. It won't majorly break anything, most of the time, but it'll often create some confusion or bugs when you're testing and fixing things

[ivory coral]

shouldn't create_card() and add_card() just have a single table argument

[placid star]

same thing happens :/

[sturdy compass]

Same crash log?

[placid star]

yep excact same

[ivory coral]

yeah put your arguments for create_card() in a single table i think that's what it wants

[sturdy compass]

I just looked at the definition of your use function and that doesn’t look set up quite right. The variables should be (self, card, area, copier). It’s another shot in the dark but it’s good to fix that

[wintry solar]

No that’s only for SMODS.create_card

[ivory coral]

oooh yeah youre right nvm me

[placid star]

same error :/

[sturdy compass]

Thought so. At the very least it reduces further confusion

[placid star]

i could update and link the github if that would help?

[sturdy compass]

Nah you don’t have to

I would like to see an updated version of the code and the crash log again tho

[placid star]

here ya go

[sturdy compass]

G.jokers:emplace instead maybe?

[placid star]

yeah i think this is what the error is referring to

[sturdy compass]

I’ve gtg for a time unfortunately but if it still isn’t solved by the time I come back I’ll jump back into the fray lol

[placid star]

YOU WERE RIGHT THIS WORKEED

TYSM

[sturdy compass]

LMAO

Huge

[placid star]

I NEED TO AN EXTRA DOT

i hate coding fr

. -> :

[sturdy compass]

Yeah Lua does object function calls with colons and not dots

[placid star]

u the goat fr tho tysm <33

[sturdy compass]

U got it

[placid star]

if u have some time later I'd love for you to be the first tester of my mod 🥺

[sturdy compass]

I think I will in a couple of hours

[placid star]

sounds good!

[stark geode]

Thaaaats what that is

SMODS.Joker{
    key= "perkeoTemplate",
    calculate = function (self,card,context)
        if context.card_added and context.card.edition == 'e_negative'  and context.card.ability.set =='consumeables' then
            return {
                message = "test",
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end
    end 
}

so this should trigger when a negative consumable is made?

right

[frosty dock]

context.card.ability.consumeable for the consumable check iirc

the set will be something like Tarot, Planet etc.

[frosty dock]

actually obj:func(...) is just syntactic sugar for obj.func(obj, ...), there's no real this/self

[stark geode]

what in the

[frosty dock]

it's all fake

[iron mantle]

These patches don't seem to work anymore, would you happen to have updated versions or know what smods version these were made for?

[chrome widget]

I've since updated my own and had to address a few patch changes, lemme look

[faint yacht]

...weird, trying to delete all playing cards but of one rank is only deleting half of the deck...

for i = 1, #G.playing_cards do
  if G.playing_cards[i] and G.playing_cards[i].base.id ~= 3 then G.playing_cards[i]:remove() end
end

[hushed field]

every time you delete a card, the indexes shift

[iron mantle]

Thanks, I was pulling my hair out with the built in card_added context and that patch would've been my saving grace lol

[placid star]

anyone know the function for deleting a joker?

[hushed field]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[stark geode]

Thanks mods

[chrome widget]

Here are my current ones, and I'm right now I'm on Steamodded 1.0.0~BETA-0330a

Not much has changed about them, so it's possible you might just be encountering a bug, but I can confirm that they both work

[iron mantle]

Thanks 🙏

[modern kindle]

Gonna steal all ur patches winter

[chrome widget]

If they aren't working, I can guide you through it

[chrome widget]

Also go ahead, but some are really specific and janky, like my quantum edition patch

[modern kindle]

That's okay I've decided your mod is my mod which means it's my quantum edition patch now

[chrome widget]

Ah fuck

[modern kindle]

😎

Also winter i will probably desire your assistance soon
I am out and about currently though

[chrome widget]

You got it!!

[sturdy compass]

My entire life is a lie

[gentle rain]

is there any documentation for shaders

[placid star]

can context.destroy_card be used to destroy jokers?

[hushed field]

Nope, destroy card only iterates over cards

I'm not sure if there currently is an smods context for joker destruction

[placid star]

hm so what would be used to destroy a joker?

[iron mantle]

So I'm running on smod 1.0.0~beta-0323b right now (I can't find 0330a on the github releases) and it doesn't seem like the joker_created context works at all, and looking at the startup logs the only thing I can see that might be causing this is the following warning:

WARN - [♥] Ignoring excess matches```

[chrome widget]

That's an SMODS issue, since it's coming from an SMODS patch

Let me see the code you're using for the context

[hushed field]

The :start_dissolve() function, though you'll wanna use a can_calculate() in the check, to see if it's not already being destroyed, or being manipulated in an other way. I'd check a lovely dump for the way ceremonial Dagger does it!

[placid star]

ty ill take a look at that!

[iron mantle]

        if context.joker_created and not context.blueprint then
            print("card added")
            print((context.card_added and context.card ~= card))
            print((context.buying_card and context.card == card))

end

I dont' even have proper code rn cuz I just wanna make sure the context works as I need it to

the other two prints are holdovers from what I had previously lol

but yea the print("card added") does not proc whatsoever be it from shop buy or debug generation

[chrome widget]

Okay, let me give it a spin

[placid star]

@hushed field ive seen a pseudorandom function used before but im not too sure how to use it and I can't find it on the wiki... can u maybe point me in the right direction?

[chrome widget]

Looks like it works to me. Are those print statements wrappers for SMODS SendDebugMessage or something else?

[iron mantle]

regular print statments, I didn't even know smods had debug messages lol

[chrome widget]

That's probably why you aren't seeing anything

I don't think they work as expected

But for your purposes, here's a video demo. I used that exact condition on my Sexy Joker, and you can see my use of Wraith results in output

[remote sequoia]

Regular prints do work as far as I've seen

They show up as info messages

[iron mantle]

Let me try it, but in my case I've been just using the normal print statements and it's been working for everything else including my other lovely custom context so I just assumed they'd work here too

[chrome widget]

Oh, well, normal prints work too

[iron mantle]

Yea the debugmessages don't work either

[chrome widget]

So something else weird is going on

What's the situation in which you're using it

[hushed field]

pseudorandom creates a number between 0 and 1. You give a seed to it so that it's consistent with your current game's seed. To see if a chance happens, you compare it with your current chance, turned into a number between 0 and 1. If the random number is smaller than your chance, the effect happens. When you write that down, it becomes (depending on the implementation)
if pseudorandom("uniqueseed") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.chance then

G.GAME.probabilities.normal is always 1, unless a joker changes the odds (in vanilla, that's only Oops). So, let's say you have a joker with a chance of 4, it'll default to 1/4. In numbers, it'll look like this
if pseudorandom("uniqueseed") < 0.25 then

so you can see, if the random number generator creates a 0.3, it's bigger and the event will not happen. If it creates a 0.111111 it will happen.

If you want a chance on your joker that's for example 3 in 16, then you wanna add an additional variable to your joker and multiply that, resulting in
if pseudorandom("uniqueseed") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal *card.ability.extra.current_chance / card.ability.extra.total_chance then

Do keep in mind that the names I'm setting for the variables here, in card.ability.extra, are just random, you can use whatever you want.

[iron mantle]

Basically I just want to be able to detect when a joker is added so that I can check for a synergy thing, I was able to successfully implement the intended functionality for the shop buy using the buying_card context but that doesn't account for the judgement generation. Meanwhile card_added does, but that context for some reason occurs before it actually adds the joker to the jokers array, which means I can't affect the newly added card using that context. So I went digging and found your patch which from what I've seen should hopefully bypass that issue since it directly hooks into the emplacing process

[chrome widget]

No I mean what's the full code around it

Are you using it correctly in calculate?

If you send me the full file I'd be happy to debug

[placid star]

i actually got it on my own which i am super proud of but I'll keep all that in mind since that's for maybe triggering an effect but i wanted to kill a random legendary joker!

[hushed field]

in this case, you'd wanna use pseudorandom_element, haha, but this would also work, yeah!

[placid star]

ohh, should i switch it to element from what i have?

[placid star]

how do we feel about this sprite? also, how would i go about making a custom text colour? kinda like how theres C:mult, could i make my own one?

[iron mantle]

Sorry had to take care of something, would you want me to just send you the lua file or the entire mod so you can see what things are being referenced?

[chrome widget]

Just the Lua file is fine I think!!

[iron mantle]

Here you are, thanks! I gotta head out to pick up a friend rn so I'll check back in later, just drop me some replies if you have questions. Thanks again! 🙏

[chrome widget]

Yeah, sorry it didn't end up a simple drag and drop!!

[stiff locust]

how do I change the scale of a card

[bold sleet]

Hello. Question: How do you pass parameters with this thing?

[chrome widget]

@iron mantle I tested your The Thing card, and it works as expected!

I didn't also implement the custom rarities, but it does hit the first block and use the joker_created context just fine

[weak brook]

anyone know where the value for a cards position in its cardarea is stored? like if its the first card in my hand where can i find the value of 1 for that?

[chrome widget]

should be in card.rank

Confusingly named, I know

assuming it also has a cardarea, ofc

[weak brook]

yeah i was about to say

thanks

[chrome widget]

But the align_cards function sets that value when it sorts the cardarea table

Where rank is necessarily the position in the array, k in ipairs

[weak brook]

are you saying that the rank value isnt always accurate to its position?

[chrome widget]

it should always be accurate up to the last frame

[weak brook]

ok thats good

[chrome widget]

align_cards is called every frame, sorts them based on transform position, and then sets rank equal to their current index position

Unless some weird stuff happens, it should give you accurate info

[placid star]

does anyone know where/what the vanila soul key is? i need to take ownership of it but i cant find it in card.lua :/

[gilded narwhal]

guys where are loc_vars for planet cards

[daring fern]

It’s in game.lua

[placid star]

ahh ty

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[gilded narwhal]

like the reference for all of these

[placid star]

does anyone know if this will increase the chance of getting a soul in any given arcana?

[daring fern]

It should.

[placid star]

okay i havent seen it so far in any arcana but i got it from the first spectral i opened...

[daring fern]

In the base game files?

[gilded narwhal]

yes

[daring fern]

Should be in card.lua

[rapid stag]

how can i randomly pick a whole integer within a set range using pseudorandom() the way chance is done for everything in the game seems to entirely rely on real numbers

am i able to just truncate

...i guess i could do from element and do it that way but it feels bleh

[daring fern]

pseudorandom(‘seed’, min, max)

[rapid stag]

oh, seed takes any kind of string? what does pseudoseed() do, then?

[sturdy compass]

I'm honestly not sure but I use it as an extra layer of randomness lol

[rapid stag]

my intuition was that it makes the randomness dependant on the run seed

[sturdy compass]

Also hi I'm back

[placid star]

anyone know how to make that kinda soul 'animation' on another spectral card?

[tall wharf]

this is so stupid

[rapid stag]

since when you do a seeded run, if you hit R, it restarts with the same seed, so the same pseudorandom() events will have the same outcome

[sturdy compass]

You need to add on a soul_pos attribute to your card. It takes a position (just like pos) from the atlas you have set for your card and does the animation with the targeted texture

Basically it's all handled internally as long as you have that defined

[placid star]

i have a soul_pos already but i dont have the little animation thingy...

[sturdy compass]

Oh like the jiggle animation?

[placid star]

yeah that one!

[sturdy compass]

lemme take a dive into that rq

[placid star]

the one that makes it look like something is trying to break out 🤤

[placid star]

aw tysm

[tall wharf]

i got no damn clue what the fuck is going on\

[sturdy compass]

My guess is all cards aren't checked for what side is up on restart?

[tall wharf]

no clue why sometimes it's flipped

huh

[tall wharf]

card.facing = 'back'
card.sprite_facing = 'back'

[sturdy compass]

Huh, I'm oddly not really finding anything

[placid star]

aw thats a shame, ty for looking tho!

[sturdy compass]

The only thing that I could find that looks like what you might want is this

SMODS.DrawStep {
    key = 'soul',
    order = 50,
    func = function(self)
        if self.ability.name == 'The Soul' and (self.config.center.discovered or self.bypass_discovery_center) then
            local scale_mod = 0.05 + 0.05*math.sin(1.8*G.TIMERS.REAL) + 0.07*math.sin((G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL))*math.pi*14)*(1 - (G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL)))^3
            local rotate_mod = 0.1*math.sin(1.219*G.TIMERS.REAL) + 0.07*math.sin((G.TIMERS.REAL)*math.pi*5)*(1 - (G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL)))^2

            G.shared_soul.role.draw_major = self
            G.shared_soul:draw_shader('dissolve',0, nil, nil, self.children.center,scale_mod, rotate_mod,nil, 0.1 + 0.03*math.sin(1.8*G.TIMERS.REAL),nil, 0.6)
            G.shared_soul:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, self.children.center, scale_mod, rotate_mod)
        end
    end,
    conditions = { vortex = false, facing = 'front' },
}

And I have no idea what to make of it 😭

[placid star]

WHY IS THERE EXPONENTS

[tall wharf]

different beating phase

[placid star]

ill play around with it, see what happens, i have no idea where it would even go in my code tho lmao

[zealous glen]

I updated my mod! We're up to 30 Jokers and 17 Blinds! https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1343670935122870342

[sturdy compass]

I think you'd just have to put this somewhere in your mod's main file (or the card's file assuming you have them separated)

[placid star]

would self.ability.name for the above code be awake?

[sturdy compass]

it would be 'c_jjok_awake'

[placid star]

ah okay, ill play around with the DrawStep you found and let you know!

[sturdy compass]

[dapper sun]

what's a good way to test my jokers without constantly holding r and hoping for a specific shop?

[sturdy compass]

Do you have debugplus?

[dapper sun]

yes

[sturdy compass]

In collections, hover over the card and press ctrl + 3 to spawn it in your hand

[tall wharf]

yea

damn it astra youre faster

[tall wharf]

G.CONTROLLER.hovering.target

😭

[zealous glen]

SMODS provides a function to load files

You don’t need NFS

[long urchin]

ah, i didnt know

[zealous glen]

You’re using it

[long urchin]

i just used neatojokers as a base lol

[silk scaffold]

on a scale of 1-10, how difficult do yall think making a wild card for numbered cards would be?

[long urchin]

whats the function?

[silk scaffold]

2-10s count as all numbered ranks

[zealous glen]

11

[zealous glen]

SMODS.load_file

[placid star]

@sturdy compass can i screen share to you in dm? the result is just so funny

[sturdy compass]

Yeah I'm free lol

[spring lantern]

yeah, thing is NFS is useful for getting all files in a directory, which is what she's using

[silk scaffold]

Figured bc you would have to implement functionality to all jokers within the game that use a numbered card, then as well played hands, then as well the modded jokers

[zealous glen]

But really it’s not hard if you just want it to work with vanilla and no mods and be incompatible

[tall wharf]

help

[silk scaffold]

We’re making a big enough mod tbh that we don’t care too much about incompatibility yet with other mods but I hope to fork functionality to other popular mods such as paperback and bunco

[long urchin]

what the fuck

[silk scaffold]

This project has like about 300~ planned jokers so it’s a full on expansion

[long urchin]

jesus christ aiko youre making solitaire???

[abstract ridge]

I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with creating multi-line text inputs? I'm looking for something that works like a HTML textarea tag

[spring lantern]

so it would seem

[zealous glen]

I think the best way to make it compatible would be with a SMODS PR but the biggest setback on the feature from SMODS’ side has always been Straight calculation

[sturdy compass]

yes. yes they are.

[zealous glen]

Are you talking about Balatro

[spring lantern]

what the hell is a cards/.DS_Store

😭

[abstract ridge]

Ya

[zealous glen]

You need row nodes in a column node

[tall wharf]

macos moment

[long urchin]

yeahh...

[spring lantern]

guess you have to check if the filename isn't that

[zealous glen]

Has anyone here transformed consumables into other consumables?

Or does anyone knows a mod that does it?

[long urchin]

i know how to turn jokers into other jokers, i feel like itd be the same thing since everything uses keys

[abstract ridge]

Cheers, I'll look into that - do you know if someone has already done something similar already to use as a reference?

[long urchin]

wait i am using that? so what am i supposed to replace with that

i legit copied the neato jokers code idk whats wrong here :?

[tall wharf]

HELP??????

[long urchin]

theyre like little worms

[dapper sun]

how do i change a joker's description text depending on a variable's value?

[spring lantern]

my best guess is you need to filter the files because it's finding some system file and it doesn't know what to do with it

[long urchin]

you make the variable "#1#" and then list it under the config extra

[daring fern]

Put #1# and input a value through loc_vars

[dapper sun]

not what i meant

[long urchin]

then what did you mean

[spring lantern]

i mean that's how you change text in a card description

you can pass a string of text as the variable

[long urchin]

it doesnt do that with neato tho :?

[spring lantern]

no idea

mac is weird idk

might as well just check for that .DS_Store file and skip it

[zealous glen]

Maybe the UI guide on the wiki

[dapper sun]

i meant my thing says

[long urchin]

whats the code for that

[dapper sun]

    "If {C:attention}first hand{} of round",
    "has {C:attention}#1#{} card, destroy it",
    "and gain {X:mult,C:white}X#2#{} Mult",
    "{C:inactive}(Currently {X:mult,C:white}X#3#{C:inactive} Mult)"
}```and i wanna make it change if it has more than 1 card

[zealous glen]

You do what they said

[dapper sun]

ok

[spring lantern]

something like if filename ~= '.DS_Store' then

[zealous glen]

Or you use main_end

[long urchin]

elle, the thing wont say '1' because its #1#

its just saying the 1st variable

[dapper sun]

i know, i'm adding support for the glitched effect from cryptid

so it can change the value to a different amount of cards

[zealous glen]

My recommendation depends on the specific text you’d change

[zealous glen]

Cryptid also has support for automatic English plurals I think

[dapper sun]

how

[tired skiff]

any idea why this is not adding a voucher?

[dapper sun]

bc it still says 2.6 card

[zealous glen]

Idk ask @mellow sable

[mellow sable]

it should be automatic if it's in the ability table

[dapper sun]

ability table?

[tall wharf]

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

[long urchin]

that

looks more right i think

[spring lantern]

the invisible cards

[long urchin]

but whys it all visible

shouldnt they be flipd

[stark geode]

SMODS.Joker{
    key= "perkeo_template",
    calculate = function (self,card,context)
        if context.card_added and context.card.edition == 'e_negative'  and context.card.ability.consumeables then
            print("triggered")
            return {
                message = "test",
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end
    end 
}

so im trying to make it detect when a negaive consumeable is created

[mellow sable]

like here

[stark geode]

i feel like im doing somthing wierd

[dapper sun]

yea it is

[stark geode]

GLOP!!!!

[tall wharf]

G.CONTROLLER.hovering.target

self reminder

[tired skiff]

bump

[tall wharf]

[long urchin]

its not working

[long urchin]

whats the problem? this looks like it should work

[dapper sun]

gimme a sec

[tall wharf]

we are back to square one

[spring lantern]

is it crashing again?

[long urchin]

yea

[spring lantern]

same thing?

that's weird

[dapper sun]

2.6 card

[long urchin]

oh in the code you can round it using math.floor(variable+0.5)

[dapper sun]

if the card isn't exactly 1 i wanna change it to has #1# cards, destroy them

[violet sparrow]

hi im trying to make my first enhancement and the 2.5x mult part is working correctly, but the destroying itself when not in the hand is not. could someone help me out with it?

[dapper sun]

that's not what i'm trying to do?????????

[long urchin]

OH

sorry youre kinda

presenting things in a really confusing way

[dapper sun]

how

[long urchin]

@vale lake yo pierre, you wanna come out here?!

[dapper sun]

i don't want it to be immutable????

i just want the description to change so it stays grammatically accurate

[long urchin]

yeah delirium gave me a patch that does basically this, i dont know where it is but they know how to dynamically change loc_txt

[dapper sun]

i know

[spring lantern]

you could create a new variable field and if cards == 1 pass 'card' else pass 'cards'

[vale lake]

Nickname API or the Ijiraq code?

[long urchin]

nickname api

[vale lake]

that only works for unmodded Jokers

[dapper sun]

i give up

[long urchin]

ah

[dapper sun]

i'll just reword it so it doesn't use a number for the card amount

[spring lantern]

so like not this

you can also use loc keys with this

if that's the issue

[long urchin]

elle, youre trying to check what the #1# variable is and then if its not 1 it says cards instead of card right?

[vale lake]

wait is the issue trying to make "1 cards" become "1 card"?

[dapper sun]

no

[spring lantern]

2 card -> 2 cards

[dapper sun]

the issue is i wanna reword not just that but also change the end to and gain {X:mult,C:white}X#2#{} mult each

but, again, i give up

has a single card

now i don't need to make it a variable that can be glitched

[spring lantern]

i mean you could've also done another var field where if card == 1 you pass '' and otherwise pass 'each'

[long urchin]

alright well

[long urchin]

bump

[spring lantern]

so you got the exact same crash when you tried filtering the files like i said?

because then i am also completely stumped with this

[long urchin]

yeah

[spring lantern]

i can try just copying the code on my end and seeing if i get the same issue

although i'm on windows

[long urchin]

alright ill undo it and send it as a zip

[last sentinel]

anyone know why the calculate function in a custom deck wouldn't be calling? print statement immediately after the definition and it never runs. deck shows up fine in game though

[signal slate]

Speaking of calculate functions, Does anyone know how to do two, like say you add multiplier and than you balance it out

[spring lantern]

beautiful

[stark geode]

cinema

[sturdy compass]

huge

[long urchin]

so i tried putting it into a mod that i knew worked and changing the atlas and it doesnt work, so i think that means the joker itself is fucked. Does anyone know why?

[rapid stag]

does pseudorandom() always return a real number or does it return a whole integer in this case?

[tall wharf]

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

[daring fern]

I’m pretty sure If the min and max are whole numbers then it should be a whole number.

[long urchin]

hey do you know why i might be having my problem?

[primal robin]

What a heck, how did you manage break facing in a first place?

[stark geode]

how do i check the type of card being created

in the context of added card

[tall wharf]

is there a way to check the card area so i can move it somewhere

can i just use collide

[zealous glen]

check what

[tall wharf]

when i move card somewhere

i want to move the card to the area the card is over

[zealous glen]

maybe check the mod that implements mobile drag into pc

[spring lantern]

yo thoughts

[stark geode]

w joker

[zealous glen]

j joker*

[stark geode]

j_joker

[spring lantern]

[stark geode]

wait did i say joker

i mean jimbo

[zealous glen]

it is named joker

[spring lantern]

that's his deadname

[zealous glen]

that's just his name

Jimbo is his title

like his job

[spring lantern]

ah i see

[stark geode]

what am i doing wrong here

[spring lantern]

remind me how to do the wiggly text in a card desc

i forgor

[last sentinel]

bump

[stark geode]

i feel bad when i cant help peopl

but idk anything about that yet

[tall wharf]

E?

[spring lantern]

yea there u go thx

[sturdy compass]

Is the card's key "Template"?

[stark geode]

thats the key

[sturdy compass]

Ah then you're missing a mod key on the localization

If Perkeo is your mod key, remove that from the card's key

[stark geode]

yk

if i could actuall pay attention

[sturdy compass]

LMAO

[stark geode]

they mods key is _Perkolator

[sturdy compass]

then the localization key would be j_Perkolator_Perkeo_Template

[stark geode]

there we go

so ive got it increasing mult when neg consumeabels are added

now i need it to actually score

[sturdy compass]

Glad it worked

[scarlet spire]

I love accidentally specifying my tag as a deck

[old bane]

abundance tag deck

[tall wharf]

abigboy tag

[stark geode]

bruhhhhh

it was jus working

😭

[scarlet spire]

okay i'm a bit confused, how does the context.type system for tags work? is there a list of these?

[hushed field]

There's no list, but all the tags in the code are pretty limited in where they're set up. You can search all for them, and see which tag contexts exist

[scarlet spire]

wow, that's really limited

hmm

[quartz ravine]

Wow this is cool!

How do people do this?

[modern kindle]

its just a vscode extension

[scarlet spire]

ah wait it doesn't seem too complicated to add your own tag contexts

[quartz ravine]

I am playtesting an idea, I have some jokers that heavily reward hands that are based on the total value of your cards. For instance, this joker

I added a new hand, it requires your hand be a multiple of 13. Anyway I was wondering...if this too hard?

[modern kindle]

if its not a hidden hand probably not
i have a hand and a card for blackjack values

[quartz ravine]

It is a hidden hand

has anyone implemented a planet card for their own custom hand?

[modern kindle]

i have yea, whats your query regarding em?

[last sentinel]

Does anyone have an example of a mod successfully using a calculate function in their custom deck that was made after trigger_effect was depreciated? I'm having a hard time finding one

[inland charm]

I have a question for you modder people. Is there any way to make a joker modify cards as soon as they're added to the deck. I'm trying to make a mod and want a joker that converts all cards added to the deck to a suit. So far I basically have a joker set up to just give a ❤️ message whenever a card is added.

[faint yacht]

One of my upcoming decks has a calculate function... you just add it in and use.

[tall wharf]

i give up for today

[gilded narwhal]

guys i need help

why is this happening

[minor furnace]

the answer to this, I think, is if there's acontext.playing_card_added, then there should also be a context.cards you can access

if you look in card.lua for what Hologram does

[gilded narwhal]

this is the code for vulcanoid

[primal robin]

Developments will be resumed tomorrow?

[inland charm]

tried using context.cards but couldn't get it to work. I'm not too familiar with lua so I probably just need to tinker a little and familiarize myself more.

[quartz ravine]

Every single day I regret first learning programming with a case-insensitive language

[inland charm]

And just kinda figure it out

[tall wharf]

later today

[quartz ravine]

You are going super fast ,I am sorry but I can't even tell what is happening.

[quartz ravine]

Actually I figured it out 🙂

[modern kindle]

wonderful job =]

if you havent figured it out you can also make the cards not show up until theyve revealed the hand

[gilded narwhal]

vulcanoid gives +2 mult to pair, working as intended
mercury give +30 chips to pair for some reason???
i use vulcanoid twice to give +4 mult to pair, working as intended
mercury gives +45 chips and -1 mult somehow

[minor furnace]

potentially something like

    if context.cards then
        for k, v in pairs(context.cards) do
            v:change_suit(suit_name)

[dapper sun]

how do i add colours?

[quartz ravine]

Actually I was wrong 😦

I keep getting crashes related to unable to find colors, when I mouse over this card. Do planets do something odd related to reporting colors?

        object_type = "Consumable",
        set = "Planet",
        name = "Meteor",
        key = "Meteor",
        pos = { x = 1, y = 1 },
        config = { hand_types = { "Cosmo Canyon" } },
        loc_txt = {
            name = "Cosmo Canyon",
            text = {
                "{S:0.8}({S:0.8,V:1}lvl.#1#{S:0.8}){} Level up",
                "{C:attention}#2#",
                "{C:mult}+#3#{} Mult and",
                "{C:chips}+#4#{} chips",
            },
        },
        cost = 4,
        atlas = "FoxModMisc",
        order = 3,
        can_use = function(self, card)
            return true
        end,
        loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)            
            return {
                vars = {
                    "Cosmo Canyon",
                    G.GAME.hands["Fox_cosmocanyon"].level
                },
            }
        end,```

[inland charm]

That was kinda similar to what I was trying but not exactly. I was trying to use part of Midas' code to do that which was similar but also obviously not.

I'll try it. Thank you!

[minor furnace]

what I wrote is basically just a modified version of the Hologram code

[reef belfry]

Do these look Or ?

[modern kindle]

i will say mine seems to work fine

    loc_txt = {
        name = "Flush Six Ascendant",
        text = {
            "Level {C:attention}#1#{}",
            "Levels up the Flush Six hand",
            "{C:red}+#2#{} Mult and",
            "{C:blue}+#3#{} Chips"
        }
    },

so maybe its your use of mult instead of red

as a ref point

[quartz ravine]

Flush Six!?!

[minor furnace]

ascendant?

[quartz ravine]

You are really cooking. By the way, I love your art

[minor furnace]

consider the following: Flush N, for any number of playable cards

[modern kindle]

placeholder name until my freaking artist makes the cards properly and then we assign it a thematic name

[minor furnace]

imagine having an artist

could not be me 😔

[quartz ravine]

Actually I meant to compliment your consumables, they look amazing

[modern kindle]

without an artist you get the bottom stuff lmao

[graceful magnet]

I'm frankly baffled this doesn't work

[gilded narwhal]

Oh the art isn't mine

But thank you anyway

[reef belfry]

Lets enslave artists

Except me

[modern kindle]

artists? yea right, more like

fartists
or something

[minor furnace]

"rules for thee and not for me"

[graceful magnet]

and neither does this, wtf why does the most basic of things not work

[quartz ravine]

Hey I tried doing handdrawn art and then making it into pixel art. Did not go well.

Frankly I recommend everyone to just marry an amazing multi-format artist

[quartz ravine]

Sweet, thank you for the good example! Now mine works!

[paper zealot]

The top of the can could use some manual fix-up to clarify some missing pixel detail, and the curve of the can base is a little blocky on the left side, but i really dig the effect you're going for

[modern kindle]

i stopped before even the slightest notion of drawing myself since this is my best work;

[modern kindle]

no problem!

[minor furnace]

don't tell me a cosmo canyon is specifically a 5, 3, and 5

[quartz ravine]

It is any hand that is divisble by thirteen. I have a jonkler that retriggers cards for that hand when played. Guess who it is?

[minor furnace]

oh interesting

yeah I've got no clue

[quartz ravine]

Hey @modern kindle , how do you make the planet card actually level up the linked hand? Do you need to reference your hand with the prefix?

[minor furnace]

config = {hand_type = 'hand_name'},

[modern kindle]

yep there it is

[quartz ravine]

RedXIII retriggers each card in a played Cosmo Canyon. If you do decide to stack your deck towards the hand, especially with gold tag cards...it goes well

[modern kindle]

config = { hand_type = "dilatro_flush_six_hand" },

as example, dilatro is my prefix

[quartz ravine]

oooohh, you do have to use your Mod prefix. In my case it should be 'fox_cosmocanyon'

[manic rune]

probably use :get_id() instead

[graceful magnet]

I did

base.id doesn't work, get_id() doesn't work, base.value doesn't work

[manic rune]

did u try without the pseudorandom?

[minor furnace]

what is card.base.value

[manic rune]

refering to how many chips the card gives i think

[minor furnace]

ah

ohh for hiker and such

[graceful magnet]

using two Oops' with testing because I'm also testing another chance card

that also doesn't work

[inland charm]

Ok here's where I'm at rn lol

[manic rune]

weird

[inland charm]

Don't mind the scribble on the one part, that's just because I put my full legal name as who the mod was by lmao

[minor furnace]

wait does context.cards not actually contain card objects

[inland charm]

Idk

[minor furnace]

I guess it doesn't

[hushed field]

Full name being Madd Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome of course

[minor furnace]

what on earth does context.cards do then

[inland charm]

I know hologram only cares about how many are added not the actual kinds of cards themselves

[manic rune]

did u try without the base.value part?

[inland charm]

So idk

There may be a reason I couldn't find a mod that did what I'm trying to do

[graceful magnet]

just tried this again, yeah still doesn't work

[manic rune]

weird

did u try a new run

[modern kindle]

hi bepis

[graceful magnet]

yes

[hushed field]

It's a boolean because you're using pairs, but the table doesn't have keys. Try ipairs

[manic rune]

hi dilly

[inland charm]

I tried ipairs

[minor furnace]

slap a print(context.cards) in there instead of the loop

[reef belfry]

Does this look any better?

[hushed field]

What was the issue, in that case?

[minor furnace]

context.cards might just be a boolean vector with a length of the number of cards added

[graceful magnet]

speaking of that other chance Joker that doesn't work

I'm not seeing any damn Spectral cards

[dapper sun]

how do i make custom C: colours?

[quartz ravine]

Would you mind sharing one entire working planet card? I have discovered a million ways to make the game crash so far lol

[inland charm]

Just ran it again as ipairs. Scribbling out full legal name as we speak lol

[modern kindle]

sure thing, one second

[inland charm]

With ipairs instead of pairs

[hushed field]

Huh, I guess cards passes on bools. It's a new context so I haven't used it before, I'm not sure how it's set up

No wait, I think I'm confusing contexts

Oh, yeah, it explicitly calls this out on the wiki

{
    cardarea = G.jokers, -- G.hand, (G.deck and G.discard optionally enabled)
    playing_card_added = true,
    cards = cards -- the cards being added (sometimes is true when used from vanilla items)
}```

[wintry solar]

it shouldnt ever pass a boolean anyymore

[minor furnace]

inside loc_txt do
{V:1}

and then inside loc_vars()
return { vars = { colours = { color } } }

that's one way to do it at least

[inland charm]

So does context.card not give the actual card that was added?

Am I understanding correctly or nah

[dapper sun]

what loc_txt?

i'm not doing it inside a specific joker

[minor furnace]

where do you want to call the color then?

[quartz ravine]

Just wanted to share that @modern kindle is a total boss and helped me out. Now my RedXIII joker can be happy

[graceful magnet]

so I did

This, doesn't, work, either

I am losing my fuckign miiiiiind

[dapper sun]

nvmd i got it from looking through discord search

loc_colour('red')
G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS['elle'] = HEX('FF53A9')```

[paper zealot]

The base looks better, though the missing pixels in the curve around the rim at the top still make it obvious that it's a downscaled sprite. Try making a consistent ellipse around the top, then try recolouring that ellipse to give the impression of lighting

[paper zealot]

^

[paper zealot]

Don't add to G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS, use {V:} like Skyward is saying

If you're in an environment where the text is being parsed for style modifier codes, then it'll also check loc_vars.colours too, and that way gives you more freedom and avoids cluttering up the contents of LOC_COLOURS

[dapper sun]

ok

but

again, i'm not doing this inside a joker

so there isn't a loc_vars

[minor furnace]

where are you doing this?

[manic rune]

this is a joker right

[graceful magnet]

yes

[manic rune]

is it the only mod ur running rn

[graceful magnet]

I am TWEAKING you cannot tell me THIS doesn't work

[graceful magnet]

aside from DebugPlus and a card skin, yes

[minor furnace]

and what does this function get called by?

[dapper sun]

why the 🧢 reacts 😭

[paper zealot]

SMODS objects only add their own loc_vars wrapper around the pre-existing game text parsing functions.
If your text containing style modifiers is displaying properly, then there's a matching loc_vars table

[dapper sun]

jokers

[manic rune]

ok idk at this point, wats ur smods ver

[dapper sun]

it is displaying correctly yea

[paper zealot]

I feel like you couldn't have given less context with this if you'd tried

[rapid stag]

question, does calculate() natively by vanilla, support a way of doing xchips via the returned table?

[manic rune]

thats old

update ur smods

[dapper sun]

that's all the context though.

that code's not inside any other class or function

[stark geode]

SMODS.Joker{
    key= "Perkeo_Template",
    config = { extra = { Xmult = 0, Xmult_mod = 1.5 } },
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult} }
    end,
    calculate = function (self,card,context)

        if context.card_added  and context.card.ability.consumeable and context.card.edition and not context.blueprint then
            if context.card.edition.type == 'negative' then
            card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod
            return {
                message = "test",
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
            end
        end
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            return {
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } },
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult
            }
        end
    end 
}

[minor furnace]

how is the function getting called inside jokers though

[manic rune]

did u try making a new run

[manic rune]

oh and also

loc vars is wrong

[stark geode]

im so dumb

but also

thats dumb

[manic rune]

does it work now

[minor furnace]

is this something you really needed to create a function for in the first place?

[graceful magnet]

Ha ha!

No

[paper zealot]

Yep, use {V:1} and provide the colour within vars.colours in the Joker's loc_vars function

[dapper sun]

i'm doing the same thing in multiple jokers, not just this one

i don't wanna have to add to loc_vars on every joker

[minor furnace]

you should add loc_vars on every joker

[dapper sun]

i said add to

[minor furnace]

how many jokers are we talking here

[dapper sun]

3 rn but i plan to add more

i'm futureproofing

[graceful magnet]

    key = 'catgirl',
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Catgirl",
        text = {
            "Scored {C:attention}3s{} have a {C:green}#3# in #1#{}",
            "chance to score {C:mult}+30{} Mult, and a",
            "{C:green}#3# in #2#{} chance to earn {C:money}$30{}"
        }
    },
    rarity = 2,
    discovered = true,
    cost = 8,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    atlas = "jokers2",
    pos = { x = 4, y = 1 },
    config = { extra = { multOdds = 3, munOdds = 9 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.multOdds, card.ability.extra.munOdds, (G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1) } }
    end,
    
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            local multHit = 0
            local moneyHit = 0
            if (pseudoseed("catgirl") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.multOdds) then
                multHit = 1
            end
            if (pseudoseed("catgirl") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.munOdds) then
                moneyHit = 1
            end
            if context.other_card:get_id() == 3 then
                return {
                    mult = 30 * multHit,
                    dollars = 30 * moneyHit
                }
            end
        end
    end
}```
I genuinely can't see what I'm doing wrong, stripping this down to the base of "if 3, add mult" isn't working either and I can't bash my head forever

[tepid crow]

seems useful enough to me, though it also could've been a variable like

local cap = '{C:elle,s:0.7,E:1}'

...
  loc_txt = {
    name = ...,
    text = {
      "line1",
      cap .. "caption"
    }
  }
...

but a function seems more futureproof tbh

[dapper sun]

a var does make sense yea i'll do that

[minor furnace]

you could also just find/replace if something changes in the future

[paper zealot]

If you insist on adding your own custom colour to G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS, at least give it a more unique name than "elle" to reduce the risk of collisions. Maybe include your modprefix and add _caption at the end

[dapper sun]

ok

[paper zealot]

SMODS does add the colours of all custom Consumable types, Rarities and Suits to LOC_COLOURS, so it's not unprecedented - it's just not a standard approach, and {V:} is the more common solution

[minor furnace]

I almost suggested adding a dummy consumable type to add the color

[tepid crow]

Sure, but I don't see why you wouldn't just use a function for it

[graceful magnet]

Anyone who knows what they're doing would be appreciated, cuz I'm completely lost on what's going wrong because this feels like such a simple one to code yet it just doesn't work, at all

[gilded narwhal]

bump

[minor furnace]

it would be helpful to know what the expected behavior is

[gilded narwhal]

well normally mercury isn't supposed to give +30 chips

Or +45 chips and -1 mult

[minor furnace]

oh wait yeah I see that now

[tepid crow]

works for me? 🤔

it's basically your code copy-pasted and slightly edited to allow it to run on my machine

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'catgirl',
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Catgirl",
        text = {
            "Scored {C:attention}3s{} have a {C:green}#3# in #1#{}",
            "chance to score {C:mult}+30{} Mult, and a",
            "{C:green}#3# in #2#{} chance to earn {C:money}$30{}"
        }
    },
    rarity = 2,
    discovered = true,
    cost = 8,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    pos = { x = 4, y = 1 },
    config = { extra = { multOdds = 3, munOdds = 9 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.multOdds, card.ability.extra.munOdds, (G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1) } }
    end,
    
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            local multHit = 0
            local moneyHit = 0
            if (pseudoseed("catgirl") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.multOdds) then
                multHit = 1
            end
            if (pseudoseed("catgirl") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.munOdds) then
                moneyHit = 1
            end
            if context.other_card:get_id() == 3 then
                return {
                    mult = 30,
                    dollars = 30
                }
            end
        end
    end
}

anyone? can i just like return xchips in the return table of calculate()and that will work?

[graceful magnet]

that's?????

so

my code does work

but not for me

specifically

[minor furnace]

you guide others to the treasure you cannot possess

[tepid crow]

disable all other mods (including debugplus), verify your files through steam, and make sure you're editing the right file would be my first 3 suggestions

[graceful magnet]

so I adjusted mine to take out the * multHit and etc that this is also missing

still nothing!

[stark geode]

how the heck does the dynmic descriptions work

[paper zealot]

My money's on the third one
