[glad osprey]

how the FUCK do localization files work

[zealous glen]

what's your issue

[glad osprey]

i have no clue how they work

what am i supposed to do here

[tepid crow]

have you peeked the vanilla localization files?

[glad osprey]

...

1 second

ok so still confused but differently this time

how do they work for card sleeves

[zealous glen]

@tepid crow do you know anyone who knows cards sleeves

[glad osprey]

found the page in the wiki this is very silly

[tepid crow]

wait was this a cardsleeves question all along? 😭

[vocal cedar]

Anyone know whats causing this crash, i get it quite a lot...

[frosty dock]

yeah update smods

[tepid crow]

aure too fast for me

[zealous glen]

first time I see this emoji

on mobile it doesn't show me

[tepid crow]

🙂‍↕️

[zealous glen]

idem

:0

[vocal cedar]

whats the most recent stable smods update?

all isee is unsatble betas

[tepid crow]

they're all unstable betas

[zealous glen]

it's unstable betas all the way down

[tepid crow]

this one should work though https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/releases/latest

[vocal cedar]

great lol

thank you thou!

[frosty dock]

also uh i think I've fixed quantum enhancements now

I'm not fully confident there isn't some jank interaction I missed, but it seems to work fine

[tepid crow]

what was broken about them?

[vocal cedar]

upon updating smods i cannot even start a run now lol

[zealous glen]

yes

[frosty dock]

yeah pretty much

[tepid crow]

update cryptid I think

[zealous glen]

But QE were introducing a lot of lag up to causing the game to run out of memory

[red flower]

ok having a function in a card's ability table causes the game to crash, noted

[frosty dock]

for reference, this was an infinite loop that didn't cause a stack overflow due to being based on events

[dapper sun]

how do i get the score for the played hand?

[zealous glen]

It did cause the game to crash for me and other people

[frosty dock]

I'm not saying it didn't crash

I'm saying it didn't cause a stack overflow

basically the quantum enhancement calculation calls set_ability for each extra enhancement, which calls into remove_from_deck, which adds an event calling G.GAME.blind:set_blind(nil, true, nil)

which recalculates debuffs on all cards

[tepid crow]

are you making a cardsleeve btw?

[glad osprey]

yes

[frosty dock]

which caused another round of quantum enhancement calculations on those playing cards

[zealous glen]

by the way how aure you are

[frosty dock]

I'm doing good but I'm kinda busy atm

[tepid crow]

good luck, let me know if you have any questions besides the wiki 🫡

[glad osprey]

how do i ban playing cards similar to the abandoned sleeve and checkered sleeve

[tepid crow]

check the code for those sleeves

[glad osprey]

i am and its all gibberish

[tepid crow]

abandoned sets a game modifier, checkered goes through the deck during apply and modifies it

[glad osprey]

i meant specifically for the combo

like checkered deck+sleeve

[tepid crow]

oohhh

[tepid crow]

there's a new context on card creation (and modification) you need to handle

[glad osprey]

interesting

[tepid crow]

https://github.com/larswijn/CardSleeves/blob/main/CardSleeves.lua#L686C1-L702C9

[spark pumice]

The Code for some reason Glitches with 4 fingers, like if I play 4 Heart cards and one spade (which doesn't score), the upgrade doesn't trigger and the heart cards aren't destroyed and I'm not sure why

I forgot to include the code for the destruction of the cards but I'm assuming it isn't necessary since it's just the activating of the upgrade that's not working

[dapper sun]

how do i get the score of the just-played hand?

[placid star]

does anyone know the context used for increasing hand size, like juggler does

[glad osprey]

just increase the hand size

ease_hand iirc

no

[placid star]

wouldnt that permanently add to it?

[gleaming zealot]

Minecraft: Lua Edition

[glad osprey]

G.hand:change_size(mod)

[gleaming zealot]

G.hand == nil

[glad osprey]

yea you have to remove from it when you no longer want it

[glad osprey]

no

[placid star]

hm okay, would that go into the calculate?

[glad osprey]

for a joker that would be in add_to_deck and remove_from_deck

assuming you'd want it to work like juggler

[placid star]

yeah! so for doubling hand size it would be

G.hand:change_size(G.hand.size * 2)?

[glad osprey]

It would be something like
G.hand.config.card_limit iirc

[heavy hare]

i'm trying to extend the UIBox class, but it's not appearing the same way as a UI box.
do you just have to make a class and init the base class?

Blind_Tracker = UIBox:extend()

function Blind_Tracker:init(args)
    UIBox.init(self,args)
end

[glad osprey]

also this would technically triple the hand size because the mod is what you are adding

[placid star]

OHHH

so, would it be G.hand:change_size(G.hand.config.card_limit)

[glad osprey]

yes

I don't know if it is config.card_limit tho

[placid star]

hm, i dont think it is cause that didnt work in game...

[glad osprey]

do you have debugplus

[placid star]

yeah

[glad osprey]

ok

in the console type
eval G.hand.config and send a screenshot

[inland charm]

Sorry for not responding, had a physics quiz lol. I didn't save the original code that I tried, but I was using context.playing_card_added. I think it was something like
for k, v in pairs(context.cards) do
cards:convert_suit('Hearts')
end
However, I'm pretty sure that context.cards doesn't refer to the actual card added in this context and I couldn't find anything that does.

[glad osprey]

wrong channel helena

I think

[inland charm]

Nah that looks like Balatro

[glad osprey]

ah my b

[glad osprey]

in a blind

[placid star]

so it would be G.hand.config.card_limit?

[glad osprey]

yea

[placid star]

hm, thats what i had before

[glad osprey]

lemme see your code

[glad osprey]

oh

[dapper sun]

how do i look at g.game properly?

[zealous glen]

Ah, that's because vanilla is inconsistent about it

[glad osprey]

it's not context.add to deck those are their own functions lol

like calculate

[placid star]

ohh

so it would be more like

...
end```

[glad osprey]

yep

[inland charm]

Yeah that's why I made a lovely patch to just change the suit when the card is added. So far I just have it automatically turn all playing cards added to hearts. Don't know how I should set up the if...then since I'm very new to this and don't have a lot of experience with lua (made a very basic tboi mod once is about all I got).

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[zealous glen]

I don't think you should need a patch, still

[inland charm]

What would you do instead?

[zealous glen]

Idk

Either do something slightly different

or try to find the latest cards added

or hook/patch add to deck

[dapper sun]

nvmd i got it it was just eval G.GAME in debugplus

[inland charm]

I'll try messing with it a bit more

It would definitely be better / easier if I could get the joker to just do it

[spark pumice]

Update I saved the code to the wrong file it works fine nvm

[hexed stump]

Is there an easy way to directly change how much money remaining hands give you, like the green deck does? I've hit a bit of a roadblock figuring it out

I know it's possible just to check the remaining hands but I'd prefer to do it the other way

[placid star]

@glad osprey okay so i want it to double whatever to hand size is at tany moment, not just double what the hand size was when it was aquired, so i put it in an update and presumably it crashed my game at e31 hand szie

[glad osprey]

ah

i do not know what to do then

[placid star]

i mean its not that important add_to_deck will more than work!

[heavy hare]

am i missing something with trying to make the Blind_Tracker class polymorphic here?

    -- This works
    self.HUD_blind_tracker = UIBox{definition=def,config={major = G.ROOM_ATTACH, align = 'cm',offset={x=0, y=-6.105}}}

    -- This does not
    self.HUD_blind_tracker = Blind_Tracker{definition=def, config={major = G.ROOM_ATTACH, align = 'cm',offset={x=0, y=-6.105}}}

[gleaming zealot]

You’re missing this:

[heavy hare]

mk

[graceful magnet]

I can't find an example of in_pool in usage so I'm left to assume this is valid

cool, how would I go about calling a game over

for a remove_from_deck

[silk scaffold]

man learning how to make jokers is nottt easy!!

[zealous glen]

I recommend making a smaller mod first

[silk scaffold]

working rn on the nevernamed pack so, im just trying to tackle some "simple" jokers we put onto the spreadsheet

ive had coding experience elsewhere but ive not got experience with lua tho it feels a bit similar to python

[zealous glen]

ah you're also working with survival

[silk scaffold]

yah

yee

im rlly excited for u guys to see the effects we've written based on nevernameds' art

we also have nevernamed workin with us on that front :p

[zealous glen]

I've seen some of the ones survival shared

I got a bit envious ;P I want to see them for inspiration but I don't want to see them so I can't make similar things

I also had animated one of nevernamed's arts as a test

[spring lantern]

soo how do i make it so the mod desc background doesn't burn my eyes?

[zealous glen]

why is it white

[silk scaffold]

im unsure j yet if we're going to want more people on the project but i would tbh dm survival bc its a lot of jokers yk what i mean?

[spring lantern]

thats what im sayin

[silk scaffold]

if youre interested i mean to join the process

[spring lantern]

how do i change it

[zealous glen]

normally it's not white

[spring lantern]

what have i done

[red flower]

SMODS.current_mod.description_loc_vars = function()
    return { background_colour = G.C.CLEAR, text_colour = G.C.WHITE, scale = 1.2 }
end

[zealous glen]

so I would undo whatever you did to make it white

[red flower]

it is

[silk scaffold]

is there any way to make mod profiles 😭 i always turn off all my other mods while i run nevernamed to debug

[zealous glen]

?

[red flower]

do u use the localization file for it

[spring lantern]

that's without using loc yeah

[zealous glen]

what do you mean use the localization file for it

[red flower]

i like how the mod id is just Roffle

[zealous glen]

I don't know if I can be relied upon but I could try to help answer questions at least. And you can reference my code if you need to

[spring lantern]

Roffle

[zealous glen]

I had asked if nevernamed wanted some Jokers coded in but they wanted them to stay together

[dapper sun]

how do i get the chips of the hand you just played after scoring?

[silk scaffold]

Ty dude, yeah, its a journey rn for myself -- and honestly me and survival came into it hoping to learn.
There's a few rules we have set for the mod which is 1) No asset / Joker other than Nevernamed's work, any other asset would have to be like minor effects and sounds and stuff, and then its to just respect the art that we've been given which is to mean proper credit is there for nevernamed

I think the idea is to genuinely make a giant expansion of balatro itself with all the jokers and ideas planned

Which yk.. takes a lot of work 😭 but im excited anyway

[zealous glen]

I think discussing Joker ideas might be interesting

As I said I liked the ones that (survival?) came up with

I think my favorite one was Atom

[rich geyser]

Hey, can someone help me real quick? I've been trying to create a custom deck for my Balatro mod, but it's just not working

Here's the code btw

    key = 'DeckPik1',
    path = 'Decks.png',
    px = 71, 
    py = 95
})

local function register_deck()
    local carludeck = {
        name = "Carlu Deck",
        slug = "carlu_deck",
        config = {
            extra = {
                starting_hand_size = 10,
                starting_money = 6,
                discards_per_round = 0,
                starting_jokers = {}
            }
        },
        unlocked = true,
        discovered = true,
        atlas = 'DeckPik1',
        pos = {x = 0, y = 0}
    }

    SMODS.Decks:add(carludeck)```

[inland charm]

How do you hook functions? I checked out the klei forum thing that's been posted a few times here but I'm still kind of confused tbh... I want to hook add_to_deck to make it so cards added are converted to hearts.

[modern kindle]

As far as I know smods.decks isn't the way to go anyway
Isn't it smods.Back?

[rich geyser]

I dunno, it's what the tutorial I was following told me

then again, the tutorial is old

[dapper sun]

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

[faint yacht]

Why not use context.playing_card_added and, after checking if context.cards is a table, iterate over any cards and set the suit to Hearts?

[inland charm]

context.cards is being wack tho

It's acting like a boolean in that context

the SMODS page for the context.playing_card_added does also mention how sometimes cards is true instead of giving the card.

At least from my understanding

Idk im not good at this lol

[reef belfry]

What does the thing in the middle look pike

[glad osprey]

orange

[silk scaffold]

orange

[reef belfry]

Awesome

[silk scaffold]

makes me crave an orange rn tbh

[graceful magnet]

cuz this doesn't work

[rich geyser]

It's me again guys, the deck now appears, but it still isn't working with the properties I set, any clues as to why?

SMODS.Atlas({
    key = 'DeckPik1',
    path = 'Decks.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95
})

-- Create and register the deck
local carludeck = SMODS.Back({
    key = "pik_carlu",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Carlu Deck",
        text = {
            "Start with {C:attention}10 cards{} in hand",
            "Start with {C:money}$6{}",
            "{C:red}No discards{} per round"
        }
    },
    config = {
        extra = {
            starting_hand_size = 10,
            starting_money = 6,
            discards_per_round = 0
        }
    },
    discovered = true,
    unlocked = true,
    atlas = 'DeckPik1',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0}
})

carludeck:register()

print("[PIKAJOKERS] Deck successfully registered!")```

[thick panther]

How would I get the number of cards in the deck? Would I get the length of the number of items in G.hand.cards?

[manic rune]

#G.playing_cards

[keen tiger]

how do you view messages sent via sendTraceMessage?

[high sinew]

Quick question for modding is there an easy way to set up the base game If i wanted to make a mod?

[thick panther]

and G.hand.cards is the number of cards in the held area (Not selected)?

[crisp coral]

using DebugPlus, change your log type in the mod config

[spark pumice]

How do you get a joker to do something when sold? I tried looking at the invisible Joker code and I don't understand in the slightest...

[crisp coral]

context.selling_self in calculate function

[spark pumice]

Oh I see ty!

[inland charm]

How do I make my joker show up in shops, booster packs, etc.?

Do I need to specify pools it's in or is it automatically added to them?

[tepid crow]

If you're not using a custom rarity, all of that will be handled for you

You can also add a "spawn condition" if you want (like how glass joker only shows up when you have at least 1 glass card)

But that part is optional

[inland charm]

So if I just put it in as rarity = 2 then it'll spawn in shops at the same rate as uncommons

?

[tepid crow]

Yeah

[lucid owl]

anyone have examples of code for a custom booster pack?

[sullen fern]

i think it’s about time i start implimenting stuff like editions and enhancments

[spark pumice]

It isn't doing what I thought it would- First part works but whenever I sell the joker it always just says Invalid Joker no matter where I put it

[sullen fern]

first thing that came to my mind was wee cards

[rapid stag]

it's workingggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh https://cdn.steamusercontent.com/ugc/16432616703695928/2B598801344738DFC759C89C050056FFF7181DBA/

[stark geode]

time to actally get some modding done

[narrow iron]

consumables can have a ‘calculate’ function right?

[stark geode]

what the hell am i doing wrong

[narrow iron]

The X in Xmult isnt capital in your loc_vars function

[rapid stag]

is there a way, in a joker's calculate(), to see when another joker is triggered?
i have a joker that i want to make another joker do a thing immediately after the other joker being triggered

[red flower]

self is not the joker card, you need card instead

[red flower]

context.post_trigger

[rapid stag]

i see. i thought post_trigger was for that specific joker that calculate() is for
but you mean to tell me that context.post_trigger is called on other jokers when a joker is triggered?

[red flower]

yes

i think it's an optional feature you have to enable tho

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/main/src/others/Boosters.lua

[lucid owl]

thank you!

[rapid stag]

i have it enabled. so if i return a table from the joker that's processing the post_trigger, does it do the message on that joker?

[red flower]

hmm not sure

you can always change the message_card tho

[rapid stag]

i mean i guess i can also just do SMODS.calculate_effect() too

[spark pumice]

Oh ok I see ty

I tried it and now it's making non-existent jokers??

[sturdy compass]

Just made this guy. Thoughts?

[glad osprey]

why does this freeze when i start a run

[red flower]

i just re-read the code, you can't just copy a joker by calling add_to_deck, you need to use copy_card or make a new one

[tepid crow]

card:set_base creates the create_card/modify_playing_card context (it's very prone to recursive issues)

[glad osprey]

ah

how do i not do that then

[tepid crow]

only modify the card when needed

instead of always modifying the card

[glad osprey]

didnt work what

[tepid crow]

how'd you get that 7?

[glad osprey]

stremgtj

[tepid crow]

🤔

how are you doing the check?

[rapid stag]

question, do i HAVE to call SMODS.Sound:register_global() when i have sound assets or are they loaded without my having to do so

[tepid crow]

that's a weird way to write that in lua, does that work?

[glad osprey]

no

[pulsar flower]

hard to gauge how good it is but it might be more like a rare

[tepid crow]

change it to ~= haha

[sturdy compass]

That's fair. I also wasn't able to gauge it so I made it uncommon lmao

[glad osprey]

it was not equal prior

[tepid crow]

I didn't have to call that for the music I used in my mod

[stiff locust]

okay I do wanna mention

assert(smods.change_base crashed when i tried to do it

[rapid stag]

i see

[narrow iron]

how can i edit the buttons that appear on cards, like the use and sell buttons?

[stiff locust]

and it worked without the assert

[stiff locust]

requires lovely patch im pretty sure

[narrow iron]

thats fine with me

[tepid crow]

not a == b => (not a) == b

[stiff locust]

look at uhhhhh

fusion jokers and joker evolution, they add buttons

[glad osprey]

still no

[stiff locust]

if you wanna remove buttons, SDM0's stuff bakery cards remove the use button

[red flower]

i have an example https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/afd2ccbcfc78f34f7d15a559bbf60f94de97afb9/src/general_ui.lua#L307

[lucid owl]

how could i let the use button show up as well as the select button?

[tepid crow]

print out both and see what they look like (preferably including their type)

[lucid owl]

as in, let the player use a card that can be used on the hand or something similar

[red flower]

i don't follow

[lucid owl]

for all packs, when selecting a card you can press "select" to add it to your consumables, or you can press "use" to use it on the cards present, but my booster doesn't show the "use" button on cards

[red flower]

oh you would probably need a patch to have both i think

or a hook

[lucid owl]

well that's annoying lol

or wait, i just mean having the use button

[red flower]

oh im pretty sure thats a setting in the booster but i dont remember what rn

[spark pumice]

Ohhh Ok Ty

[lucid owl]

hm, alright

[lucid owl]

can you use hex colors for ease_background_colour?

[manic rune]

its possible, yeah

[lucid owl]

perfect, thanks

[stark geode]

hey how do i check if a card is being retiggerd

[manic rune]

check context.post_trigger or smt

[modern kindle]

You've done a good job

[manic rune]

i want to punch someone rn

[rapid stag]

anyone know the args for start_dissolve()?

[manic rune]

this is killing me

💔

actually dunno what sd is :3

[tepid crow]

literally the line above it

[manic rune]

oh wait

🔫

why did i think it was a function already, didnt think it was a hook 😭

[tepid crow]

though I don't like how math names stuff like that

it doesn't tell me the name of the function if I didnt already know it

[manic rune]

here

[manic rune]

i name mine hookTo 💔

[sturdy compass]

I think this is cool

[manic rune]

maximus i think april fools might have already been over

[tepid crow]

as long as you follow it with the full function name you're all good haha

[sturdy compass]

I am cringe and I am free

Totally unrelated but how to I change the atlas pos of a card (cuz this doesn't work)

[tepid crow]

did that help you figure it out btw @glad osprey?

[glad osprey]

no lmao

I'm giving up on that for today

[lucid owl]

anyone know how to get the use button on consumables in a booster pack?

[tepid crow]

fair enough haha

[old bane]

what are you trying to do

(prolly could look at cryptids double sided)

[lucid owl]

figured it out!

[narrow iron]

im looking at another mod to try and learn how to do something and im curious whether this is something the mod adds or if this is in the base code? card.config.ref_table

[sturdy compass]

This was a good tip, ty

[blazing cairn]

what is the size of consumables

[graceful magnet]

trying to make a Joker that absorbs the accumulated values of other jokers, but it returned an error that I thought I'd accounted for

[stark geode]

i just learned the importance of playtesting lol

my pna joker was so buggy

looks like i fixed it tho

[old bane]

it's cause you have it be left_joker.Xmult and not left_joker.ability.extra.Xmult

same for all the other ones too

[graceful magnet]

OH

I missed those

[old bane]

also for right_joker specifically you have them be left_joker in the adding part

[graceful magnet]

oops pff

[old bane]

when it's supposed to be card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + right_joker.ability.extra.Xmult

[old bane]

i love how half of modding is just "idk, see how this other person did it" LMAO

i may not know how to do much but i know of examples that show how to do it lol

[sturdy compass]

Yahoo!

[old bane]

-# why is there an extra card area

[stark geode]

i can acually read the sorce code

am i cooked

[old bane]

nerd

[blazing cairn]

bump

[sturdy compass]

Maximus has a new card type that utilizes it :)

[old bane]

wdym, like the sprite size, the size of the array that holds consumables, how to get the limit of consumables you can have, or something else?

[blazing cairn]

sprite size

[old bane]

i thought it would be like tetris where you can just store an extra card for later

[old bane]

usually they're 71 by 95 images, though there is like a few pixels or so on the sides that are empty space

[blazing cairn]

ok thx

[sturdy compass]

Nope! If you're curious tho feel free to look into it https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Maximus/Horoscope_Cards

[old bane]

for tarot cards there's 4 pixels on each side that are empty and one pixel on both the top and bottom that are empty

[old bane]

how do you have a website O_O

[sturdy compass]

This is not mine, it's the Balatro Modding wiki lmao

[graceful magnet]

okay first problem fixed, new problem arisen, I need to make it ignore when extra isn't a table

[old bane]

oh lmao

[rapid stag]

well i'm getting errors unless i do it so

[blazing cairn]

so a 63x93?

[old bane]

essentially yes

[rapid stag]

how can i control the pitch of a sound played via calculate() return table/SMODS.calculate_effects()?

[old bane]

but i would still keep the extra space to keep it in line with the style of balatro

[blazing cairn]

got it thx

[old bane]

you can probably use the type() function in lua? idk the syntax tho so you'll have to look it up

[old bane]

i like how it's like chaos from hades

wonder if i'd be able to make my own page on the wiki

[tepid crow]

Idk man 🤷🏻‍♂️

[graceful magnet]

sweet

[narrow iron]

ive made a custom CardArea, but when i try to add a card to it the number of cards increases but the card never visually shows up, how can i make a card actually appear in the area?

[last sentinel]

I finally found what was killing my calculate functions dear god

[narrow iron]

this is how im defining it if it helps at all

[sullen fern]

i need to finish the occlupanid card sprites and then i can get to work on making custom editions and enhancments

[sturdy compass]

HUGE

[last sentinel]

had a random challenge that i made months ago buried in my mod that was overwriting back_trigger_effect😭

[sturdy compass]

oh my goodness

[silk scaffold]

wondering what im doing wrong but honestly i think im not understanding where to find things in the documentation

would u guys mind if i shared my crash log here and maybe someone could give me an idea of what im doing particularly wrong 😭

[sturdy compass]

That's plenty fine

[tender meteor]

anyone have advice on where to start with modding?

[tender meteor]

thank you

[last sentinel]

is there a way to have a deck change the starting ante? other than just starting with hieroglyph

[daring fern]

You could probably set G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante to a number when the deck is applied.

[rapid stag]

i'm making something that's sort of like hiker, but mult - and it basically gives permanent +1 mult per card enhancement, edition and seal (so if all 3, +3)

but is adding permanent mult to a card even possible

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Perma-bonuses

[rapid stag]

or i could notice this page in the wiki thanks

[narrow iron]

how can i give a custom card type a default CardArea?

[normal crest]

you can add any card to any card area

[narrow iron]

i was thinking abt that wrong, your right

thanks

[barren roost]

what is the best way to add a new challenge? i tried adding it to the challenges file in the Balatro folder but that didn't seem to work

[daring fern]

Probably making a mod.

[rapid stag]

remind me how to check if a card has an edition or enhancement? ...although i think seal is stored differently, too. isn't it card.seal?

[daring fern]

card.seal is for seals card.edition is for editions and you can use SMODS.has_enhancement() for enhancements.

[daring fern]

Rehash.

[rapid stag]

...how can i write a hash # in a joker description? i tried escaping it, but it causes a crash

[graceful magnet]

for some reason this isn't getting any XMult from vanilla XMult scaling Jokers despite Xmult being the variable used by vanilla Jokers. It works with my modded Jokers though.

[rapid stag]

...please don't tell me i have to use a main_end for it

[daring fern]

Input it through loc_vars

[rapid stag]

...i guess that's one way of doing it

[paper zealot]

🤔 Use the # to print the #

[graceful magnet]

literally like???

oh okay it's much worse, I broke the whole thing

[daring fern]

What jokers are you testing with?

[graceful magnet]

Hologram, Constellation, Lucky Cat

it picks up XMult from Cavendish

[daring fern]

All of those jokers use card.ability.x_mult

Cavendish uses card.ability.extra.Xmult

[graceful magnet]

ahh

[tepid crow]

from game.lua right?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[graceful magnet]

Alright yep got it working sweet

[rapid stag]

except now i've run into the problem of has_enhancement() only checks for the specific key you pass into the second arg, if you pass nothing, instead of returning true for any enhancement, it seems to just alwys return false? which gives false negatives when a card has an enhancement

and get_enhancements() returns a table with keys, so # would be useless

is there really no simply way of querying whether or not a card just has any enhancement

[tepid crow]

next(get_enhancements(...))?

[rapid stag]

...huh?

[tall wharf]

free nitro

[tepid crow]

if get_enhancements returns a table with keys, next grabs the "first" value (according to pairs)

[rapid stag]

ohhhh. so i can do if next(get_enhancements(...)) then and it would enter the condition if there is any enhancement

[tepid crow]

all you need to do at that point is make sure it isn't nil, which I believe is implicitly done by an if-block in lua

[tepid crow]

I believe so, yes

please double check

[rapid stag]

works

[tepid crow]

💔

[runic pecan]

You mean this thing?

[tall wharf]

no as in you check with the debug console

[runic pecan]

As in eval G.P_CENTER_POOLS? Not yet.
Update: Just checked, nothing out of what I expected.

[tall wharf]

This sprite is ass. Session terminated.

[tall wharf]

as in the pool doesn't even exist?

[runic pecan]

Yeah.
I mean the console already stated it's nil.

[tall wharf]

😭

idk much about smod pool

[runic pecan]

Like, this pools feature is very recent.
I'm sure I've seen versions of smods wiki prior to containing that one.

[tall wharf]

how do i render different font in text lol

[manic rune]

[zealous glen]

It seemed interesting but I never played it

[runic pecan]

I'm at their github right now, which isle file should I look at?

[primal shoal]

has anyone done a custom page rank playing card before ?

[tall wharf]

what

[primal shoal]

in a arcane tarrot deck there is a "page" rank
so its "page -> knight -> queen -> king"

[tall wharf]

i remember there is

how do I give my mod more character

[zealous glen]

Search for movie genres

[zealous glen]

Maybe focus on a theme

Or something that makes it unique

[runic pecan]

I saw that, and the method it uses isn't going to be more helpful for my case than just manually build up a table for all the pools I'll need.
And it didn't use the pools parameter in question.

[tall wharf]

😭😭😭😭😭

my mod has no theme

[runic pecan]

There is. It's called "shenanigans".

[tall wharf]

😭😭😭😭

[runic pecan]

I mean you ltrly named your mod "aikoyori's shenanigans"

[tall wharf]

I'm trying to rename it 😭😭

[runic pecan]

Aaaand my question on this pools parameter is still not answered.

[unborn bay]

chat i am terrible at art

[zealous glen]

Incorrect

[unborn bay]

i need to be more original dude the leftmost joker of this list is literally just burnt joker 2

[olive saddle]

what does the happy blueprint do

[celest aspen]

Anyone know what I could be doing wrong with my use of SMODS.Sound ? I keep getting a thread error when its about to play the sound. Code: (Just the important bits)
//initialization
SMODS.Sound( key='metalpipe', path= 'metalpipe.ogg')
//my attempt to play the sound
play_sound('PIPE_metalpipe') (my prefix is PIPE)

File is in mod\assets\sounds\metalpipe.ogg

[reef belfry]

dont you need the prefix on the key and file name too

well thats what i did atleast

anyways how does one make a consumable destroy itself

specifically after a round

nvm found it

[unborn bay]

retriggers all jokers 2 times with a chance of creating a negative rare joker at the end of a round
basically just boredom

[celest aspen]

hmmm, you mean in the SMODS.Sound section right? I just added it and I am still getting a thread error for some reason. :/

[reef belfry]

ive got it setup like this

[tall wharf]

i believe you don't put prefixes when you're defining the sound

[reef belfry]

well it still works so im not gonna touch it since id probably break something

[tall wharf]

i could be wrong tho

that's it I'm going to touch grass

[celest aspen]

I figured it out. I had it in the wrong mod folder for some reason. Thats what I get for trying to work on this at 5am instead of sleeping

I clicked on the wrong "assets" file tab in windows explorer and didn't bother checking if it was the right one

[dapper sun]

i'm trying to make a joker that does something when cards are destroyed, using context.remove_playing_cards. immolate isn't working correctly with it though.

anyone know why my cryptid isnt working please help im asking in both channels becuase i really cant figure it out

[cobalt nexus]

Ok so i did some digging

i found that this was the line causing the error

so i commented out that function

not sure if that will ause problems down the line bt right now it works

ok it caused a problem as soon as i started the first blind

ok I dont understand it. I changed "flags" to "flaags" and now it partially wokrks but stil crashes but at a different point. Confused

ok i had another crash in utilis.lua, so i also commented that out now it works

ill update withscreenshots of what i did in a minute, and ill let you know if it crashes again

[last sentinel]

please only use this chat for modding development questions

sorry man im so tired i thought i was in the modding chat lol

then why did you tell the modding chat to look at what you were sending here

@manic rune what's new since penacony

[cobalt nexus]

thank you

[tall wharf]

i told u to update cryptid

an entirely new world, new char path (remembrance, its all about summoning another ally basically)

and of course

hp inflation

jingliu is dogshit now ❤️

[cobalt nexus]

I tried to I have the most recent update

[tall wharf]

wtf happened to meta

[tall wharf]

did you download from the code button as i mentioneD???

[manic rune]

its quite literally mandatory to roll every single new char

else you will fall behind

[tall wharf]

😭

p2w

[hushed field]

gacha be gachaing

[cobalt nexus]

Yes it was just an smods file

[manic rune]

ran out of art juice

[tall wharf]

cryptid

i said download cryptid from the code button

[hushed field]

SMODS fixes the vanilla bugs with spectrals not triggering destroy effects, right?

[cobalt nexus]

Yeah I did that also

[cobalt nexus]

IDK, but there doesnt seem to be any problems with my disabling some parts of it

[tall wharf]

did you?

[unborn bay]

update cryptid and update smods as well

[manic rune]

i think cryptid wants you to use the smods version provided with it

[tall wharf]

hi

[reef belfry]

Ive spent more time reading the smods docs than my actual school books

[unborn bay]

hello

[tall wharf]

you are

[unborn bay]

well yeah that is if you use the current release build

current dev build uses latest smods

[tall wharf]

haya you are so pro

[runic pecan]

Is it an absolute necessary to load SMODS.Atlas code before any other object that uses said atlas?

nvm, not relative anymore.

[next timber]

how can i make a joker only appear if you have a specific suit in your deck?

[zealous glen]

in_pool

[runic pecan]

Use in_pool = function(self, args),
return true if you find any card:is_suit("Suit key") though G.playing_cards.

[last sentinel]

does context.consumeable.ability.set no longer work for telling what kind of consumable is being used?

[daring fern]

It should work.

[last sentinel]

hmmm

oh wtf i changed nothing and now it works

love when that happens

[manic rune]

hmm

weird

this is inside a blind's calc

and i think it will duplicate cards instead of destroying them if the blind is defeated for some reason

.

wait nvm

realized its remove, not destroy

ghh

nop, it still duplicates

thats odd

[reef belfry]

for some reason thats oddly comical

[manic rune]

it works when i replace it with return true, but not return {remove = true}, hm

odd

[icy moat]

why does destroying card have to be so difficult

[reef belfry]

the person who guesses what this joker does gets to choose the obscure reference i have to turn into a joker next

[hushed field]

what are you trynna do?

[tall apex]

Reference not known, however;

Big forehead

AW ORANGE SLICES

I could mess up an orange rn

[manic rune]

If scoring hand has 4 unique suits, do (?), then enters Rest
-# not sure if the suits all need to be in 1 hand or its saved
Increases (?) by 1 for each scored card, and im assuming after a certain number of cards scored, she will stop resting

At the end of round, probably create Slices of Life for each empty consumable slot?

[tall wharf]

+150 chips +15 mult x2 mult if played cards have all base suits (once per round)

while resting gain x0.1 mult per scored Hearts

at the end of the round fill consumable slots with a slice of life

don't mind me

[reef belfry]

youre THAT close actually

[tall wharf]

that's what I'm seeing

i don't know if i can get closer than this

[tall apex]

woagh

Complicated

[tall wharf]

do i get to pick stupid ass reference

[strong jacinth]

How do i create something similar to Ortalabs index card?

[reef belfry]

No

Unless you hit it spot on

[daring fern]

What are you trying to do?

[strong jacinth]

The same but suits

[daring fern]

So it can act as multiple suits?

[strong jacinth]

Yes. you can change suit with the same ui

[spring lantern]

y'all know what the pool flag for lucky cards is? i have a joker that interacts with them so i want it to appear when you do have at least one like lucky cat

[daring fern]

You would have to hook is_suit.

[strong jacinth]

Oh. But what about the ui? Like the Use button for tarrot cards.

[daring fern]

I'm not sure.

[runic pecan]

When for _,J in ipairs(G.jokers.cards or {}) do, is it J.center.config.key or just J.key?

[reef belfry]

whats the correct string of code for this...

[hushed field]

J.config.center.key, iirc

[daring fern]

It would be context.consumeable.config.center.key instead of context.card.ability.key

[strong jacinth]

Uhh, how do i do that. (I have never patched my own thing before)

[reef belfry]

TY!!!

[tall wharf]

how do i move child with parent

[icy moat]

I'm trying to let a blind destroy one card after scoring

But using dissolve with custom color

[hushed field]

there's a build in context for that! You'll wanna look into the destroy_card context

[paper zealot]

Set major of the child to the parent, and the relevant bond types like config.xy_bond to "Strong"

[icy moat]

Yeah I tried that! But you cant change the destroying effect

[hushed field]

ah, the custom colour I don't know how to set up, I've never considered doing that. I think the easiest solution is to patch the context so that you can pass along a dissolve color

[icy moat]

Destroying directly with :start_dissolve creates ghost card so I cant use that either

Unless i can emulate the vanilla balatro destroying card effect

[tall wharf]

thank

[hushed field]

oh, you definitely can. The ghost cards come from you not removing the indexes from G.playing_cards. But it's generally not smart to work outside of the context, due to triggered effects

patching the context would be the better solution, I reckon

[icy moat]

Oh thank you so much for that info! Imma try that first before patching

[hushed field]

i'm kinda surprised there isn't actually a default way to pass along a dissolve colour in smods at this point, haha

[icy moat]

I tend to avoid patching because i dont know if i should patch the vanilla function or smods function

[reef belfry]

maybe im just dyslexic cuz damn

[icy moat]

Yeah, I'm gonna make a feature request real quick

[stark geode]

so it wont create any more banans at this point

[lament agate]

what happened here

[stark geode]

even if one dies or gets sold

[zealous glen]

I had an idea for a mechanic but I’m not sure how I’d integrate it 🤔

[red flower]

i dont understand all the joker_buffer calculations there, what are you trying to do with those?

[stark geode]

check if you have room for another joker if another is added

[hushed field]

Is it Perkeo smoking a fat Doobie?

[stark geode]

https://tenor.com/view/write-that-down-taking-notes-school-universities-university-gif-17937210

[zealous glen]

The idea is basically putting the effect of some Consumeables on a playing card so that if you play the card it triggers the effect

Mainly Grim, Familiar, and Incantation

So it destroys the card and adds more cards into your deck

[red flower]

isnt that the same as adding 1 to the condition?

[stark geode]

math might be able to help you there

[spring lantern]

usually it's easier to check if #G.jokers.cards < G.jokers.config.card_limit

at least thats how i do it

[zealous glen]

No other effects need to know the true number of Jokers

[tall wharf]

is this correct 😭

[manic rune]

good morning everyone

[stark geode]

i was using riff raff as refrence

[hushed field]

And you're wondering about how to make that work, game design-wise?

[zealous glen]

But since Jokers are created in Events, the buffer represents the difference between calculation time and animation time

It’s the same thing with the dollar buffer

[red flower]

makes sense

[zealous glen]

Or the Consumeable buffer

[zealous glen]

Game design-wise

[stark geode]

tbh i dont really understand what the buffer does

[zealous glen]

It does what I said

[stark geode]

like the diffrence in jokers

[zealous glen]

[…] [T]he buffer represents the difference between calculation time and animation time

The difference of the quantity being buffered

Here it’s the number of Jokers

[hushed field]

It sounds like a mechanic you kinda want to be a whole broader archetype, or the legendary equivalent to something like a Seal, I'd say

[limber blaze]

you can have a list of consumables that work with this effect and and then it will be pretty simple to implement too

[stark geode]

so the number of jokers being created or destroyed

[zealous glen]

I agree. My issue is that while I think it’s an interesting mechanic, I don’t want to make my entire mod around it, but I think that choosing what effect a playing card has is important

[zealous glen]

The number of Jokers

[zealous glen]

I feel like I’d have to hard-code them to make them work

[limber blaze]

i think therell be a way to automatically do a consumables use effect but idk if you can find a list of consumables that will work without just hardcoding it

[zealous glen]

I can make Consumeables automatically use an effect

The issue is handling the requirements

The Star wouldn’t do anything without selected cards

[tall wharf]

TIL Jack Black has ADHD

[zealous glen]

Have you seen the Jack Black baby

[limber blaze]

yeah thats why youll just have to blacklist some or hardcode them to have new effects

[zealous glen]

Right now I’m more worried about choosing which effect you want

[zealous glen]

I was just going to choose a few

[limber blaze]

if you only have a few effects tooo theres less choices to make around which consumables you want to have on your cards

[stark geode]

i removed all the buffer stuff and it works

[zealous glen]

But it would break with other effects

[paper zealot]

That might not do it. Try using set_alignment or set_role, something like

akyrs_drag_storage:set_alignment({
    major = self,
    bond = "Strong"
})

[modern kindle]

Good schmorning chat

[zealous glen]

Hello dilly

How are you

[modern kindle]

Hi vic

I'm okay, just opened my eyes to this world in the realm of awake

How are you

[zealous glen]

@hushed field opinions 🤔

[zealous glen]

I’m okay too

[paper zealot]

Though i'm unclear on the structure of your UI from that screenshot

[stark geode]

right, but as far as i can tell i was doing what i needed for the buffer and it wasnt working

[zealous glen]

What was your issue before

[red flower]

i think it's because you were increasing the buffer before checking space, that's why i was confused

[hushed field]

My instinct with that kind of stuff is to make the choice something that's based on the inherent qualities of the played card. Number of other played cards, or its suit, or rank, etc. It's gonna depend as well on whether you'd want to choose the effect when you play it or when you get it

[zealous glen]

I was thinking when you get it

The main idea is that you know what you’ll get

[stark geode]

it would only create 3 bananas then stop

regardless of how many there were

once it hit 3 it stopped

[zealous glen]

I feel like it was what N’ said

[reef belfry]

does this sound way too risky

[zealous glen]

Yes

[reef belfry]

what should i change it to

[zealous glen]

I would change it so you can affect the probability in some manner

[reef belfry]

whar

[zealous glen]

:?

[zealous glen]

Because I wouldn’t want the player to feel bad for getting a bad result

I think having some options like from a Booster Pack would be interesting, but I don’t want to make a literal Booster Pack, I think

[tall wharf]

alr

[brazen tusk]

I'd remove the loss of money

[zealous glen]

I might copy this after Aiko gets it right

[brazen tusk]

its already a risking destroying the joker

[zealous glen]

That too

But I’d remove destroying the Joker

[reef belfry]

its supposed to be like that

[zealous glen]

Or again make it able to be removed

[brazen tusk]

is it supposed to act as a debuff idk how you get it

[zealous glen]

You asked if it’s risky and what you should change to

[reef belfry]

after defeating the boss blind the associated joker gives 2 pieces of oranges

[zealous glen]

People are giving their opinions

[reef belfry]

i mean

i meant like as the buff

[brazen tusk]

what does the associated joker do?

[reef belfry]

one of its purposes is just consumable slots clog

im writing it right now

[zealous glen]

The sell effect is part of the buff in the risk because you can’t opt to get rid of it without being punished

[hushed field]

In this case, I'd make it a voucher that allows these cards to spawn

[reef belfry]

should i just make it Small blind instead of BIg blind

[zealous glen]

But I don’t think I want them to be purchasable 😭

[zealous glen]

Doesn’t address the issue

[hushed field]

If you don't want them to be purchasable, how are they supposed to be obtained then? Or you mean that they shouldn't themselves show up in the shop?

[zealous glen]

I don’t think they should themselves show up in the shop

[brazen tusk]

^

[hushed field]

than you can just make the voucher only make them spawn in boosters, no?

[zealous glen]

It’s slightly less risky but it doesn’t address the issue still

[zealous glen]

Originally I was thinking of maybe associated it with a Joker effect, or maybe some object that opens an otherwise unobtainable pack, like a Consumable or a Tag

Like maybe the Joker creates the Tag sometimes, and the Tag opens a Booster pack state, and there you can teach the effect to a card?

[unborn bay]

i feel like the chance of losing money is a bit too much considering i sell stuff to get money seems a bit counterintuitive to lose more money just because you don't want them to take up consumable slots

[zealous glen]

Seems convoluted 😭

[rain slate]

but like what's wrong with this 😭 ```lua
for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
local joker = G.jokers.cards[i]
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event {
trigger = 'after',
delay = 0.15,
func = function()
local _pool, _pool_key = get_current_pool('Joker', joker.config.center.rarity, nil, '_ritual'..i)
local center = pseudorandom_element(_pool, pseudoseed(_pool_key))
local it = 1

                while center == 'UNAVAILABLE' do
                    it = it + 1
                    center = pseudorandom_element(_pool, pseudoseed(_pool_key .. '_resample' .. it))
                end

                joker:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS[center])

                return true
            end
        })
    end

it's supposed to turn each joker into a random joker of the same rarity but it keeps giving like rares

even though I give it joker.config.center.rarity

[rain slate]

like if I use this on hack (uncommon) it gives a dna (rare) ???

[tall wharf]

idk if this will work ever

[rain slate]

I was originally using SMODS.add_card to make a temporary card then copy_card it but that gives the same issues

[tall wharf]

i thought i attached screenshot

[rain slate]

OH MY GOD

it's because

get_current_pool does like weights and shit

(type(_rarity) == "number" and ((_rarity > 0.95 and 3) or (_rarity > 0.7 and 2) or 1))

[reef belfry]

thats kindve the thing i wanted it to do

[rain slate]

so inputting config.center.rarity will just like always give rare

[reef belfry]

Lose money = consumable slot or keep the money and lose some deck fixing

or leveling

or actually just consumabless

plus its tied to a joker

[daring fern]

How could one put a custom info_queue on a card if it has more than 2 seals?

[paper zealot]

You're hooking Card.drag? Is this for your Solitaire mod, trying to drag a stack of cards together?

[rain slate]

custom info_queues can be made by doing like info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = "something_something", set = "Other" }

and then localize it in descriptions = { Other = { something_something = blah blah

[tall wharf]

you're correct

[daring fern]

No, I meant on any joker or card or consumable.

[rain slate]

...yes?

you can put that on any joker or card or consumable

[paper zealot]

I haven't tested it, but my instinct is that if you just set the parent and major of each card to the card that it's dropped onto, then the child cards should be carried along with their parents automatically

[runic pecan]

Chat, I need some reword advice.

[reef belfry]

there it is

[daring fern]

I don't think you understand if a joker or card or consumable that my mod does not own, has more than 2 seals I want to display how many of each seal it has.

[rain slate]

oh nvm i see what you mean

[limber blaze]

you should patch into common events using lovely if you want it on any arbitrary card

[rain slate]

I think you may need to patch it

wait I know where the code that generates that stuff is lemme find it

[limber blaze]

version = "1.0.0"
dump_lua = true
priority = -1

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/common_events.lua"
pattern = 'for _, v in ipairs(info_queue) do'
position = "before"
payload = 'if (Entropy.FlipsideInversions[_c.key] or (_c.ability and Entropy.FlipsideInversions[_c.ability.name])) and HasFlipside() then info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {key = "inversion_allowed", set = "Other"} end'
match_indent = true

something like this

[red flower]

is your issue how to add the tooltip or how to count the seals?

[tall wharf]

ill try ig

[daring fern]

The tooltip.

[rain slate]

I don't know if this is the best way but you can patch generate_card_ui in common_events.lua (lines 2747-3231), check if it has more than 2 seals and then add another thing to the info queue

[reef belfry]

you could also probably just, fill your consumable slots before every boss blind..

[daring fern]

How do I input the number of seals and their names?

[strong jacinth]

How do i do a conditional hook?

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[strong jacinth]

Hook*

How would i check if a card has an edition, then hook is_suit

[stiff locust]

just do the edition check inside the hook

and only run the code if the check passes

[reef belfry]

what should i do next

[stiff locust]

dart monkey

[hybrid iris]

dart monkey

[stiff locust]

the zero zero zero dart monkey
real ones miss this

[crisp coral]

BUTCHER VANITY

weiward romance is better

[hushed field]

Content sets are working. Gonna set them up through a config for now. I should see if I can come up with an easy way to just allow all content from a certain mod through 🤔

[stiff locust]

oh uh

is there any way to

retrigger consumables

like you can retrigger jokers

[strong jacinth]

Ooookay, how do i hook?

[rain slate]

why is one of my jokers not in its rarity pool

[zealous glen]

What’s your issue

[rain slate]

that's why it keeps giving me jimbo

[hushed field]

Depends on your needs, but yeah, you could with some fiddling around

[rain slate]

because that rarity only has 2 jokers and one of them is just. not in the pool

[stiff locust]

1. define a new function which is equal to the original function

[rain slate]

nvm I know why

[stiff locust]

say i wanted to hook uhhh

[rain slate]

so that's just gonna be annoying until I add more jokers

[zealous glen]

Have you seen my Butcher Vanity Joker?

[stiff locust]

G.FUNCS.can_play

that'll work

i'd go like
local tsun_canplay = G.FUNCS.can_play

[crisp coral]

yes. plenty

[stiff locust]

i added my mod prefix because i don't know i don't want it to break anything

[zealous glen]

What did you think of it :0

[stiff locust]

now you redefine the original function

with its original arguments

[crisp coral]

^q^

[stiff locust]

in this case G.FUNCS.can_play = function(e)
now you write the code that you want to run inside that function

[stiff locust]

and then once you're done, you run the function you defined up here
in this case, tsun_canplay(e) with its original arguments
you can move around this line to define when your hook code runs compared to the original function code

i'm going off an example that someone donated to me so i'm not 100% on all of this

but this method has worked for me pretty much every time

[odd palm]

hello ive decided to mess around and wanted to make jokers, where is a good start to make one

[stiff locust]

there's a video guide somewhere

and the steamodded example mods

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples

[odd palm]

I was told to ask the discord for help

[stiff locust]

you can read the documentation but

no one likes reading

so

[odd palm]

i most likely just need documentation

i read

[stiff locust]

holy shit

the 2%

who can.. read

[odd palm]

my only issue is how im going to add the joker textures itself

[runic pecan]

It's just... I feel like something is wrong with the sentences I typed, that's all.

[ivory coral]

hi chat
ive this code thats meant to change a joker into another joker
toConvert[i]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS[j_joker]), where toConvert[i] is a joker and j_joker is a placeholder for now, but it's giving me the crash
card.lua:255: attempt to index local 'center' (a nil value)
for some reason, any idea what's causing it?

[hushed field]

you wanna just use the joker's key here, not the actual center

set_ability("j_joker") should work

[ivory coral]

aaah that does indeed
i tried that earlier but the key i fed it must not have been a string
thanks lad

[stiff locust]

first you need to actually get the sprites

[wintry solar]

the center is fine to use

[stiff locust]

i'd recommend using the vanilla joker sheet as a base and applying your sprites on top of it so you guarantee the spacing is correct

and then you need to define an atlas

that's the easy part

[hushed field]

Oof, figuring out how to do UI for this cardset mod is going to be real tricky. I think the best approach will be to add a button on the deck select and pick the sets from there, somehow

[zealous glen]

I think you’re right. I believe it should read “effects”

[hushed field]

Realizing I should probably set up a tool that creates a lua file that just contains a cardset object for a selected mod, with all keys in there. That'd make editing ones a lot easier

[zealous glen]

Maybe try using copy_card. That’s what I did for a Consumeable yesterday

[tall wharf]

@paper zealot how would i unbind the major do i just set it to nil

[zealous glen]

I think you can set it to self

[paper zealot]

I think you'd set it back to self if you didn't want it to be attached

[tall wharf]

ah

[ivory coral]

i dont think thats quite what i need for what im doing but thanks anyway
even if it was sunk cost fallacy wouldnt let me at this point lol

[paper zealot]

There must have been milliseconds of difference between our messages, haha

[zealous glen]

You want to make it become a Joker that’s not one you have, right?

[zealous glen]

https://tenor.com/view/brain-same-wavelength-twins-thinking-cosmic-energy-gif-15106217

[stiff locust]

SMODS.Atlas {
    key = "ModJokers",
    path = "filename.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
}

example atlas i just grabbed, place this near the top of your mod code

the path is the name of the file containing your jokers, which should be under your mod's folder/assets/1x/filename.png in this case
the atlas key is what you write in a joker under the atlas argument telling the game which sheet to use, in this case atlas = "ModJokers"
the px and py are the width and height of each sprite for tiling
on the joker you also have the pos value, which is written as pos = {x = 0, y = 0}
x = 0 and y = 0 is the top left corner of your sprite, add 1 to the x to go right by one, add 1 to the y to go down by one

you should also upscale your sprites by 2x and place them in /assets/2x/filename.png, these double sized sprites are used when the pixel art smoothing setting is enabled

oh yeah and if you wanna do the legendary floating head thing, define a soul_pos like the pos value and place the second layer as a joker in your spritesheet

[zealous glen]

Me projecting the desire to play my mod into your mind:

[ivory coral]

any joker of equal rarity
maybe copy_card() actually could help with that now that i think about it but ive already made a function that generates random jokers and the lot

[zealous glen]

You don’t need to make that function, it already exists

Anyways, see my example above

[zealous glen]

I create Earth, copy it, then remove it

That way I can turn any Consumeable into Earth

[ivory coral]

wait it does
wheres the example

[zealous glen]

There’s the vanilla create_card and SMODS’ SMODS.create_card

It’s in the wiki

[hushed field]

:set_ability("c_earth") would also work without needing to create a dummy card, though

[zealous glen]

I’m not sure it would

[rain slate]

lol good for you I literally just went through this for like 2 hours

[hushed field]

my joker that does it like that works, I haven't ran into bugs relating to it yet, haha

[rain slate]

lemme get the code

[zealous glen]

N’ showed me a video of it seeming to work

But reading the code I wasn’t sure if only setting the ability was enough

copy_card does more than that so I felt like there must’ve been a reason

[reef belfry]

I should probably make a non legendary joker

[ivory coral]

me when i realize ive just spent the last few hours coding something that already exists

[hushed field]

it's for seals, editions, etc.

[zealous glen]

Before that

It copies the ability table too

[rain slate]

                    local rarity_key = get_rarity_key(joker)
                    local _pool, _pool_key = get_current_pool('Joker', rarity_key, nil, '_ritual'..i)
                    local center = pseudorandom_element(_pool, pseudoseed(_pool_key))
                    local it = 1

                    while center == 'UNAVAILABLE' do
                        it = it + 1
                        center = pseudorandom_element(_pool, pseudoseed(_pool_key .. '_resample' .. it))
                    end

                    joker:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS[center])
``` @ivory coral and for `get_rarity_key` it's ```lua
function get_rarity_key(joker)
    local _rarity = joker.config.center.rarity
    _rarity = (type(_rarity) == "number" and ({ "Common", "Uncommon", "Rare", "Legendary" })[_rarity]) or _rarity

    return _rarity
end

[zealous glen]

And I think it sets sprites too

[zealous glen]

First step, read the wiki ;P

Second step, search vanilla code that does something similar

The game already creates Jokers, so…

[hushed field]

yeah, that's true. I think it'll potentially have issues with cards that do sprite manipulations, but even then, I haven't run into problems. Half joker and legendaries are also properly converted by just using set_ability

[zealous glen]

What about wee

[red flower]

what about wee?

[hushed field]

Wee will probably be the offender, yeah

[rain slate]

creating a random joker of another joker's rarity is annoying because if you just give it config.center.rarity it thinks the vanilla rarities (numbers) are weights so you have to turn them into strings yourself

[zealous glen]

The Nintendo console?

Was there Yu-Gi-Oh! for the Wii

[red flower]

my coworker calls the switch the wii and it drives me insane

"im playing mario for the wii"

which one

[hushed field]

my coworker calls us wii when he's discussing our activities

[zealous glen]

Did you see the new Mario Kart for the Wii?

[red flower]

im blind to anything above 60 dollars

[hushed field]

knowing nintendo, Mario Kart Wii and new mario Kart wii could've been two separate games

[zealous glen]

Mario Kart Arcana Force XXIII — The World

I wonder how much it’ll cost in euros

[hushed field]

90

80 for digitial

50 in the bundle

[zealous glen]

I have a Swiitch I haven’t touched in years 🤔

[hushed field]

I'm gonna set up a thread for this unfinished card set mod, because that way people can intercept me doing dumb fucking code before I try and make this a new api mod people should definitely make their mod compatible with

i have a switch controller and no switch 🥲

[red flower]

i have a ps5 controller and no ps5

[hushed field]

btw, N, I'd love if you could check the code and see if there's anything you'd do different, or that might cause issues. Because ideally, this mod would be a great JoyousSpring addition, haha

[ivory coral]

alright my own way does actually work now so i'll stick with it
in the future i'll be smarter about it

[red flower]

let me know when its up and ill check it out

[last sentinel]

hmm anyone know why when using copy_card the copy has the wrong playing card Back

and how to avoid it lol

[red flower]

thats a vanilla bug, i think it sets a default back

[last sentinel]

ahhh gotcha

[hushed field]

#1358087455126847589 I'm not really here to work on it for the rest of the weekend, but this skeleton for it is working

I might still figure out today how to have it output a file with all keys properly formatted for a given mod, but who knows if I get that working, haha

[tall wharf]

help lmao

[daring fern]

Reactivate.

[manic rune]

i have no clue how to make the text bigger

[rain slate]

?

[manic rune]

i needed to change max width too it seems

i tried tweaking that but i guess it already hit the max width cap

got it working tho

thats fun

[manic rune]

why is it not changing the text?

im sure the target is right, and it definitely detects card.ability.break_meter too, since i put a print in there to check

[red flower]

you should use ref_table and ref_value instead probably

[manic rune]

yeah im experimenting with that rn

no clue whats ref_value supposed to be aiming at though

like, i know its gonna be using ref_table, but where am i supposed to set break_meter on the card for ref_value to check

[red flower]

you can do ref_table = card.ability, ref_value = "break_meter_text" and just update the text alongside the value

[manic rune]

ohhhhh

got it, thanks :3

[stark geode]

how would one check what jokers the player has
