[manic rune]

go through G.jokers.cards and check their .config.center.key?

[red flower]

iterate through G.jokers.cards? or do you want to find a specific one

[manic rune]

beautiful

now time to see where the progress bar in the loading menu is

[formal parrot]

Is this solitaire ?

[manic rune]

no its clearly yugioh

[formal parrot]

No yu gi oh is more horizontal

[stark geode]

im trying to see how many gros michels you have

[red flower]

then use SMODS.find_card

[manic rune]

i wonder whats this for

[red flower]

table length

[reef belfry]

(lie)

[manic rune]

isnt it the same as #table

[red flower]

that doesnt work with non-arrays i dont think

[manic rune]

oh

[formal parrot]

Thats so many pixels

[shell timber]

yeah #table only works with arrays

[manic rune]

what r the odds of the progress bar being conveniently placed in ui_definition

andddd nope, not in there

found it

shouldve thought of checking game.lua first

...probably best that i read love.graphics documentation somewhere first

[hushed field]

what are you trynna make, Bepis?

[manic rune]

making a progress bar on top of a card

[manic rune]

this one

[rich geyser]

I'm trying to modify the hand size with a tarot card, but I can't find the hand size function anywhere on the documentation, so can someone tell me what is it?

[hushed field]

oooh, that's really digging into just straight up love2d features, huh. I'm gonna ask you a shitton of questions once You've figured out how to make it work 😛

[manic rune]

theres no ui function made for this sadly

do NOT bet on me when it comes to ui, i will probably forget everything when i got it working 😭

shouldnt be that hard tho

what could possibly go wrong

[hushed field]

hahaha. I was looking into using sliders for progress bars but it wasn't very successful to set up. I wanted a progress bar on the bottom of cards for timing related things

[manic rune]

-# when i got it working, i should probably make an UI function to make progress bars easier somehow

[hushed field]

I don't care who it is, whenever I see someone do cool ui stuff I'm going to try and make them think the best thing to do is make all their features an smods pr that makes ui a million times easier for me, haha

[manic rune]

oh yeah, i thought of using sliders too, but its probably best that i actually figure out how to make an actual progress bar and not just a workaround ❤️

[manic rune]

true true, i will try, would be pretty insane if i got something from me added to smods when i have only been on this platform for a month 😭

[tall wharf]

can't record vid

but you can drag the whole pile

[manic rune]

aiko can you add ultrakill to balatro

[tall wharf]

problem is that it all gets combined for some reason when i drag

it all got bunched up into a single pile

@paper zealot 😭

[spring lantern]

hey is there a way to add badges to a modded deck? there's no create_badges function available in SMODS.Back but it still shows the mod badge in-game so there's gotta be a method to add your own badges regardless right

[tall wharf]

i can finally finish a game of this

feature complete

[zealous glen]

You could reuse the vanilla UI I think

[pale venture]

Is there a way to remove/hide a custom suit from the customize deck page? Or change the cards displayed to something other than the face cards?

[zealous glen]

I think so

[modern kindle]

I fell back asleep so good schmorning part 2

[tall wharf]

i added solitaire in balatro for real

[chrome widget]

Morning dilly

[modern kindle]

Hi winter :D

[chrome widget]

:3

[modern kindle]

How is your Saturday

[chrome widget]

Eating leftover Chinese food, being hot, and getting ready to do more mod work

[modern kindle]

Hot as in attractive or hot in temperature

Cause ur smokin

😎

[chrome widget]

Attractive lmao, it's not super warm yet where I live

[modern kindle]

Lmao

[chrome widget]

I am attractive all times of year, which is why I wear skirts in the middle of winter despite many, many people suggesting it might be colder than wearing pants

[modern kindle]

I remember when I was younger I didn't often care to bundle unless it was unusually cold

These days I haven't really had much of a winter

I think it snowed only a handful of times here in Chicago, and nothin serious either

[chrome widget]

The one time I went to Chicago the "windy city" thing really was true so it was unnecessarily chilled in summer because of constant wind

[unkempt thicket]

How can i use SMODS.Gradient for UI?

[modern kindle]

Come here again we can meet up :D
Lmao
But yea it's usually got some good breeze around here and I'm all for it

[chrome widget]

Unfortunately I don't have much reason to go to Chicago most times 😔

[placid star]

can anyone see an error in my code? my game crashes on selling my joker

[chrome widget]

I went there for a bowling tournament years ago

[tall wharf]

im cooked...

[modern kindle]

I'm really good at bowling if the objective is to do very poorly

[chrome widget]

Add the prefixes for consumable and your mod, if you haven't set prefix settings to exclude them

[hushed field]

I was a semi-pro bowler as a kid until my bowling club burned down. I haven't bowled a day in my life since...

[chrome widget]

c_[modprefix]_nanamitool

[placid star]

so 'c_-prefix-_-consumable key-'

[modern kindle]

Come on over friend we'll go bowl, it's just a short travel from the Netherlands

[placid star]

ttyyyy

[chrome widget]

I used to be a nationally competitive youth bowler until I left high school, then I stopped and had no real reason to continue

[modern kindle]

I've only been bowling twice in my life so I am not very good

Billiards however
I have a shot

[hushed field]

The only thing I think I'd have a shot at is a drinking competition

[modern kindle]

At the peak of my alcoholism era I could probably beat you..

These days not so much

[hushed field]

Is there not a single claymation movie in Kino yet? 🤔

[chrome widget]

The most objectively terrifying fact about me was that I was a jock in high school

[modern kindle]

Do you not have nightmare before Christmas isn't that kinda considered

[modern kindle]

I was one of those drifters
Where i kinda just fit in with a little bit of everybody

I can't currently imagine the jock winter though

[hushed field]

I do not, though I'll definitely add it at some point. I wanna make Oogie Boogie a boss blind as well

[modern kindle]

I only saw nightmare before Christmas for the first time last year

I liked it

[hushed field]

Ren has been telling me to add Kubo and the Two Strings as well, but I wanna find a mechanical angle for music-themed things first

[modern kindle]

I mean shoot if you'd get into music themed things the sound of music, singing in the rain, Mary poppins

Fiddler on the roof was good too

[hushed field]

Sound of music is in, Singing in the rain I scrapped because the effect wasn't fun enough to warrant it being in, and Mary Poppins I haven't seen yet so I only have vague notions of what that one is about, haha. Sound of Music is one of the more complicated jokers in the mod, for sure

[modern kindle]

This is large and in charge

[zealous glen]

Have you tried increasing the offset?

Maybe scale it by card size

[modern kindle]

Hi again vic

[zealous glen]

You could try to hack one with column nodes

[zealous glen]

Hello again dilly

[modern kindle]

:)

[zealous glen]

You’re very nice

[modern kindle]

My friends would mostly disagree but I am glad you think so :D

Oh while I'm here have we figured out a way to move specifically infoqueues but nit the main description yet

[hushed field]

I should figure out if there are more flavour-gaps. I don't think I have a good angle on what to do with most sports movies.

Maybe I should make that the first custom seal, and have it be a seal that retriggers like red seal, but can be incremented somehow. So that I have a concept for 'training' that isn't fully overlapping the general buffing of playing cards

[modern kindle]

You could incorporate an aspect like perishable, just make it so after the tally ends that's when the training is over

As opposed to when it's debuffed

[shut crater]

Hi there, just starting my first mod. I'm trying to understand contexts and the calculate function, and I see a lot of detail about different contexts but doesn't really explain cardarea, could someone help me understand how cardarea works?

Is it like the location of the card whose calculate function is being run?

[hushed field]

Nope, but close! It's the location of the card who's being evaluated, which may trigger a calculate function. In context.individual, for example, each individual card is being checked, both in the played hand, and held in hand. So you specify the cardarea to make sure it doesn't trigger on cards held in hand for example. Or to not trigger on cards in play. Or probably, more realistic, you specify something like context.cardarea == G.play to only do something if it's a card that's in play and being scored

[tall wharf]

????

this should be enuf

[shut crater]

hm, trying to understand, let me know if I'm super off-track. So at some point in the scoring loop Balatro looks at every single card, both in play and in hand, and calls calcucate on each joker, passing in a context with individual set to true, but with different values for cardarea?

or like how often is calculate called cause it seems like the answer is A Lot

[red flower]

a lot

[shut crater]

and every single card has a calculate function, not just jokers?

[red flower]

yes, also blinds and decks and you can enable cards in deck to also have them for example

(not all vanilla objects have those tho or they have just 1 big calculate)

[hushed field]

Yes!

[chrome widget]

Oh yeah I'm having an issue that I want to run by some people

Do Root UI nodes organize nodes in a row?

[hushed field]

If you wanna see, you can make a joker that does nothing but just print out the current contexts, just to illustrate, but it's a whole lot, yeah

[shut crater]

that's a pretty good idea

where will that log be?

[red flower]

In the lovely console or you can install DebugPlus to show it on screen

[red flower]

I think so but I'm not sure honestly, why?

[chrome widget]

I'm just getting some weird results with a UI box where things using column nodes are organizng child nodes in rows instead of columns, and trying to parent them under a column node results in no change in behavior

[tall wharf]

:3

[red flower]

for it to work properly you need to have row nodes inside the column node are you doing that?

[chrome widget]

So this is what it results in visually right now

The first two text nodes are parented under row nodes

And then each of the Stored/Available nodes are under column nodes

[zealous glen]

I said to make the displacement proportional to the card size

I don’t know what unit 0.5 is in

[tall wharf]

ah

well

[red flower]

Yeah you need to switch between both types

If you want a column you need to do:
Column:
Row1:
Text
Row2:
Text
Row3:
Text

[zealous glen]

Text inside a column still organizes in a row IIRC

[tall wharf]

looks the same

[zealous glen]

That’s how the red background for xMult works

Well usually it only has a single text node

[zealous glen]

Have you seen how Galdur handles chips?

Stake chips

[chrome widget]

Okay let me get my bearings here, the main issue is the Available/Stored nodes, so let me outline what it's currently doing:

  - Row
    - Text ("REFRIGERATOR STORAGE")
  - Row
    - TEXT ("STORED JOKERS N/N")
  - Column
    - Column
      - Text
      - Row
        - Column
          - Row
            - Text ("ACTION")
          - Row
            - Object (Cardarea)
  - Row
    - Column
      - Text ("Close")```

So the issue is the two sequential column nodes in the tree?

[shut crater]

is it possible to add a consumable that is neither Tarot nor Spectral? or should I just make it a Spectral card

I'm trying to create a joker that has a chance to spawn a specific custom consumable

[chrome widget]

You can create new consumable types

[red flower]

I think the issue is the text under the column not being in a row node

[chrome widget]

Okay yes, that works (barring weird height issues)

I also want to be able to center the title if possible

[red flower]

you can probably give the row node over it a minw

[modern kindle]

[chrome widget]

Yeah yeah I need help with UI shit 😔

There's a reason I avoided ui programming at my last job

[modern kindle]

no its just my name so i had to point it out

:b

[chrome widget]

Ye I just had to give it a placeholder atlas since I use individual ones in my mod

I usually just name them dilly_[something]

[modern kindle]

ye no worries

you are my ui goddess so i dont care what u do

[chrome widget]

Okay I will give you that I am good at certain shit but organizing UI is not one of them. Gender affirming to be called goddess tho

[modern kindle]

:D

youre better than i am at all of this so i simply value you

i do my best

[unkempt thicket]

I've been working with UI recently as well; does anyone know the G.C.color versions for SMODS.Gradient.

[hushed field]

I pray to the Ui goddesses, hoping for the random adjustment I made to offsets to actually work out

[chrome widget]

UI Goddess: "no"

[shut crater]

I've found myself here, is there a property I can change here to prevent my consumable type from having a collections menu?

can I just make create_UIBox_your_collection nil or something

[tall wharf]

idk

you can kinda tell that it's like stacked together

and when you release it it does this

[unkempt thicket]

I've made some cool UI stuff in the last few days. I'm working on a new currency type right now.

[modern kindle]

huh, thats neat as hell

[chrome widget]

Hmm yeah, setting a minw to the row nodes does not appear to be centering the items in the box

[tall wharf]

oh

uh

i think might know why it feels weird

the card is on the bottom layer lmao

so it is shown BEHIND the UI

now i just need to set the offset correct.ly

[zealous glen]

Ported the Red Hand to 1.0. (Credits to Gappie for the soul sprite art)

[modern kindle]

why he comin at me

[stark geode]

anyone know what the context for a destroyed card is

like when a card dies

[zealous glen]

This was the original version (blood, gore)

[red flower]

context.remove_playing_cards for playing cards, for other cards there's none

[zealous glen]

what type of card

[stark geode]

jerker

jimbo

[zealous glen]

none

[stark geode]

welp

[zealous glen]

check out how Paperback or Betmma do it, maybe

[zealous glen]

-# I think this is technically the second version

[tall wharf]

still no clue

but the gameplay works

[zealous glen]

did you check Galdur

[tall wharf]

no

idk what you meant by that eier

[sturdy compass]

I think this is neat

[spring lantern]

i can't find the part of the game's code that handles glass cards breaking

[zealous glen]

ohh

[zealous glen]

how so

[spring lantern]

i don't know where the fuck it is i'm checking every corner of the lovely dump

[red flower]

this?

[sturdy compass]

It's in state_events

[zealous glen]

but what do you want

[spring lantern]

i need the part where the game decides whether or not a glass card breaks

[stark geode]

playing card destroyed

then check its enhacnment for glass

[zealous glen]

I imagine SMODS overwrites it

[sturdy compass]

It does

[zealous glen]

easier to check the dump

[spring lantern]

i'm chgecking the dump

[chrome widget]

If I store a cardarea in a joker's extra table, will its value be serialized on saving? I'm attempting to do just this, but upon load, it's telling me stored_jokers is nil

[hushed field]

Ahem it's alien Abduction, not kidnapping

[runic pecan]

Is there a smods wiki for unlock_condition?

[hushed field]

There may be ways for it to be stored, but in my experience, it does not

[chrome widget]

I assume this is some underlying thing about values and references?

[stark geode]

idk what you expected me to do with this

but all it has is release info

[zealous glen]

I think cards are only saved if they're in a CardArea

[zealous glen]

I thought you wanted the mod with Joker kidnapping abduction

[stark geode]

im trying to kidnap the banan

[zealous glen]

try one of Kino's UFO Jokers

[chrome widget]

So what's the most effective way to break down saving a card within another card?

Just copy the entire ability table? Will that serialize?

[zealous glen]

what do you want to save it for?

[spring lantern]

this part of the code is gone in my version of smods

which i updated today

[chrome widget]

I'm doing a thing for Dilly. The Joker is a fridge that stored food items

When it stores them, it removes them from regular play

[hushed field]

I'm not sure. I think the save system can max out on table depth? I don't understand enough about it to a tell you why. I solved it by storing card references on jokers that can 'store' other jokers, and have them be stored in a cardarea I instantiate at run start

[zealous glen]

I think the easiest way to do that is to create a CardArea

[chrome widget]

I've done this

[red flower]

i always have the latest smods

[chrome widget]

I'm attempting to save a cardarea as part of the extra table

Seemingly doesn't work

[zealous glen]

Can't you just save the key to the CardArea

[hushed field]

Only Asteroid City abducts jokers, atm

[zealous glen]

then you access it later

the CardArea already saves automatically

[stark geode]

where is that in your code

[chrome widget]

Main issue is that I need the state of the food jokers at the time, they all have scaling values

[hushed field]

There is a file in src called Abduction.lua

[zealous glen]

Joker values are saved

That's how you can reload a run

[chrome widget]

Are they saved if the jokers are in an arbitrary cardarea?

[hushed field]

Yes

[red flower]

i think all card areas under G are saved

[chrome widget]

So then that provides another issue I suppose

[hushed field]

Yeah, if it's not under the G, it becomes an issue

[stark geode]

i meant the smods take owership

[zealous glen]

you can just put it in G

[chrome widget]

I guess I can set the arbitrary cardareas to be G.fridge_jokers_[nodeID]?

[spring lantern]

okay so i guess the version of smods in the mod index is out of date for whatever fucking reason 😭

[zealous glen]

no

[hushed field]

Winter, I'd check Kino's abduction code as well, tbh. I have this mechanic basically implemented, except I don't render the cardarea visually, but that's the easiest part

[zealous glen]

set it to G.YOURMODKEY_fridge_jokers_[nodeID]

[chrome widget]

I don't render them visually either yeah

[zealous glen]

I have a CardArea that's currently only rendered for debug purposes

[hushed field]

Not even when the fridge is opened?

[zealous glen]

you can see it here

[tall wharf]

:(

[chrome widget]

No, I create individual cardareas for each display card and render a copy of the card instead

[stark geode]

i dont think this ubduction is what i need

[hushed field]

The biggest question is whether cards in the fridge need to mechanically exist, or whether their values should just be stored. In the second scenario, you don't actually need to have a continuous card area

[stark geode]

i need to do smods take ownership

[zealous glen]

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

[hushed field]

Because you can store card objects on a joker, and that will be saved properly, iirc

[zealous glen]

discrete cardareas

[spring lantern]

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

[chrome widget]

The reason it's best to have them mechanically exist is because it also processes the joker calculations for stored jokers since the're removed from G.jokers

[spring lantern]

oop mb

[zealous glen]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-pokémon-slowpoke-glitter-sparkling-gif-9077674878617351176

[chrome widget]

I'd have to create and assign new jokers each time I wanted to do that otherwise

[spring lantern]

me fr

[red flower]

you need the stored ones to still work?

like while they're stored?

[modern kindle]

Yea, the idea is the fridge doubles the values of each stored food card

[chrome widget]

Yeah. Stored jokers

• don't expire
• don't count against your joker count
• still calculate as normal

[red flower]

oh then you need to patch those areas into the smods calculation stuff

[chrome widget]

Fairly certain I don't

Why not just access all the cards from the fridge joker and pass in all calculations it receives to them?

It receives the same contexts that they would

[zealous glen]

Then it doesn't work automatically

without the Fridge

[red flower]

you can do that but it's more complicated than what i just said lol

[zealous glen]

but if the Fridge is meant to Blueprint them that's another story

[chrome widget]

Patching is inherently less stable

[hushed field]

It technically works with vanilla jokers. Would break anything position dependant that other mods might add 🤔

[chrome widget]

Any changes in SMODS code requires the patch to be fixed, and the code is less isolated

[hushed field]

Patching in a new cardarea has a specifically marked target in the smods code

[zealous glen]

Blueprinting also soves the issue of them expiring to be fair

[red flower]

patching calculation areas is built into smods, they provide a comment for you to target

so it doesn't break on updates

[zealous glen]

That's how the inconspicuous cardarea here works

[chrome widget]

Patching also doesn't account for an arbitary number of new, arbitrary card areas, resulting from duplicate fridges

[red flower]

thats true but do you need an area for each?

[hushed field]

Don't make individual card areas per fridge. Just mark which jokers are in which fridge in a general area

[zealous glen]

I think that's not a good solution

Because cards cease to exist between loads

So any references become nil

[red flower]

"mark" not store

[zealous glen]

I thought that meant getting a pointer

which would point to nothing

[hushed field]

I tried to do basically what you're proposing for Kino's alien Abduction mechanic, by having each abductor create a card area stored on the joker, but it proved to be a real struggle to get it to work properly with loading and manipulating the cards in the cardarea

[zealous glen]

Anyways, just creating a CardArea and outsourcing the process by Blueprinting should be enough

[hushed field]

I don't think I ran into this issue, but I'm gonna make sure to check when I get back home after the weekend

If the fridge displays fake cards, I do think you can technically solve this by storing the cards in a table on the joker, not even in a cardarea, and calculate the stored cards

[chrome widget]

But if cards don't serialize correctly, then it would make loading/reloading a pain

[hushed field]

Someone else has that mechanic working, iirc, but I'm not sure who it was. Let me check

[chrome widget]

IMO it sounds like the play here is to just create a cardarea per joker, with a unique ID for the node, and then just use/access it as usual. Although I can patch a new collective fridge cardarea, that would make the code for the fridge less portable, and probably introduce unexpected bugs. A unique cardarea in the global table would (afaik) serialize the cards within as expected, and also leave the result of calculation up to the fridge joker, which is the goal

[zealous glen]

have you tested

[chrome widget]

Rather than them just being calculated as normal cards

[zealous glen]

because afaik they do so

[chrome widget]

So far attempting to serialize just a cardarea has resulted in pain

[zealous glen]

don't do it manually

let the game do it

[chrome widget]

I am

[hushed field]

Kàeda had a card store cards as just values, and I think the values are able to be manipulated

[zealous glen]

I do this in a lovely patch and my permanently scaling Zodiacs work well

self.ca_vic_zodiac = CardArea(
        G.TILE_W - 6*G.CARD_W - 2.95, -1.1*G.jokers.T.h,
        G.jokers.T.w, G.jokers.T.h,
        { type = "joker", card_limit = 12, highlighted_limit = 0 }
    )

where I'm pretty sure self is G

[stark geode]

so is there a way to add a custom context

[zealous glen]

yes

[red flower]

is there a way to remove a context

i dont like setting_blind

[stark geode]

I'm guessing I can just put it in context.(Context name)

[zealous glen]

what do you mean

[stark geode]

so i kidnapped gros michel

[red flower]

you need to call SMODS.calculate_context{modprefix_context_name = true, modprefix_other_info = ...}

you can ignore the modprefix but i would advise not to

[stark geode]

and im giving it a context for when it dies

[stark geode]

docs?

[red flower]

no

[zealous glen]

source: N' made it up

[red flower]

true

[zealous glen]

source: I made it up that N' made it up

[stark geode]

fuck

[red flower]

its like vibe coding

[stark geode]

time to go read smods code

[modern kindle]

Source:

[zealous glen]

I've heard that yesterday for the first time

[red flower]

this is an example of my send to gy context

[stark geode]

so like this

[red flower]

yes

[zealous glen]

I don't think it should be in the event

[tall wharf]

how do i put certain cards above others 😭

[zealous glen]

I think you need to render the back cards first

[red flower]

let me know if you figure this out because i need it too

[tall wharf]

it looks off

[stark geode]

wait it worked

WWWWWWWWWWW

[tall wharf]

wwww

[red flower]

wwww

[stark geode]

i was able to avoid patches yet again

[zealous glen]

I repeat this ;P

[chrome widget]

Hmm

Creating a new cardarea on load results in an issue because the card on reload is the string MANUAL_REPLACE

So saving cards directly on the joker like you suggested Victin also doesn't work as you might expect

[stark geode]

am i losing it

[zealous glen]

I didn't suggest that

I suggested creating a CardArea in G

[stark geode]

shouldnt this be correct

wait i forgot the .extra part

[hushed field]

I suggested that. If Kàeda is online sometimes, I'll check how they did it, because for them it was working

[chrome widget]

I'm trying a couple other things, now doing the global thing like you suggested

[lucid owl]

where's a card's suit stored? is it .base.suit or something similar?

[hushed field]

What are you trying to do?

[lucid owl]

convert a card to the suit of the card left of it

[hushed field]

ah so you want to see the base suit to circumvent stone and wild cards?

[lucid owl]

i'm using SMODS.change_base() but just need to access the suit of the card

[lucid owl]

yeah

[tall wharf]

so close

[narrow iron]

what would be the best way to change the scoring requirements for blinds? i just need to change the scoring for all blinds by a set multiplier

[lucid owl]

well i might just make those not work with this card

[tall wharf]

😭

[lucid owl]

but i'll still need to access the suit of the card

[hushed field]

I think base.suit would work, but there might be a more official smods way to get it that's slipping my mind currently

[lucid owl]

alright, thank you!

[hushed field]

You can also check to see how SMODS.change_base() is implemented, because the place where it changes the suit, is also where you'd grab it from

[tall wharf]

YES

@red flower @zealous glen

[paper zealot]

10/10 game, can't believe nobody's thought of this before

[tall wharf]

todo:
add double click feature...

[chrome widget]

Hmm, storing the cardarea in the global table results in one of those "not instantiated on load" errors

[tall wharf]

i am not looking forward to that that's for sure

[lucid owl]

how can you check a card's seal?

[stark geode]

peak

[hushed field]

That has to do with the way card-areas are loaded in. I solved it by loading them in through a patch instead of a hook, but I can't tell you exactly why that solves it

[chrome widget]

That one seems strange. Because even the SMODS patching route would involve the globaly stored card area being serialized and deserialized in advance, no?

[zealous glen]

I think it's just a timing issue

[zealous glen]

common aikoyori W

now go to sleep

[stark geode]

smods should add a joker destroyed context

[chrome widget]

I had to add one myself yeah

[zealous glen]

can anyone make sense of this

[paper zealot]

You should also consider extending and using a child "class" of Card (make SolitaireCard or whatever) for these minigames, to avoid having to add more hooks to very expensive and frequently-called functions like Card:drag. Since Card:drag is called multiple times per-frame on whatever you're dragging and all its child nodes, it adds up real fast

[zealous glen]

if only any of the people who added it made a PR

[stark geode]

i just had to take own gros michel and then add a context for its death

[zealous glen]

Me on my way to copy these hooks and add them to Card

[stark geode]

to be fair mine only works for one jerker

and my soultuion is not the bes one lol

[chrome widget]

If you want I could add a PR for various things, like my created/destroyed contexts and my insert cardarea at specified index changes

[stark geode]

it would make life better for the rest of us lol

[zealous glen]

I already added an added to deck context

[chrome widget]

Oh?

Well that would be lovely to replace my joker created one

[zealous glen]

You can use it

It's on the wiki

[stark geode]

but added to deck no worker on jimbos

[zealous glen]

but really I'm plotting it and it makes no sense 😭

[tall wharf]

makes sense

[zealous glen]

I would maybe make a HyperCard class

[tall wharf]

yea

i am not that smart but

[zealous glen]

A HyperCard is a "card and (nothing or hypercard)"

[zealous glen]

explain me to me please

Because unless I put it wrong on Desmos it shouldn't work

???

[strong jacinth]

Why would you need that?

[zealous glen]

that's how you access crafting mode

[red flower]

solitaire games often let you double click to make an automatic action

im assuming

[strong jacinth]

Ooh, I forgot about that

[paper zealot]

Also also, not sure if you've mentioned it earlier, but usually in Solitaire you draw 3 cards at a time from the reserve pile, where yours is drawing every card. Yours is a lot easier, is that a deliberate choice?

[tall wharf]

i can set it to 3

i picked 1 because it's easier

[zealous glen]

aiko please

[tall wharf]

I'm sorry I'm just not that smart

[zealous glen]

v_v

[shut crater]

can someone walk me through the SMODS.add_card() function? I'm passing in the key of the consumable I want to create and add to the consumables area, but I get this error

is there some registration step I'm missing on my consumable?

[zealous glen]

what's your mod prefix

[tall wharf]

what did you put in desmos

[tall wharf]

so the x is time right

[zealous glen]

yes

[shut crater]

I'm not sure what a mod prefix is, is that a step I missed?

[zealous glen]

what's your mod id

[narrow iron]

the key should be 'c_yourModPrefix_Fish'

c for consumable, then the mod prefix you set in your metadata file, then the key for the card

[red flower]

im starting to have regions within regions in my loc file lol

[strong jacinth]

Are all cards random? Or is it always made possible

[tall wharf]

ok how does it look like right now

[tall wharf]

random

[strong jacinth]

Aw, aight

[zealous glen]

actually I did add some vertical movement but I think you can ignore that

I'm trying to figure out how ease_num works so that I can time the vertical movement

[unkempt thicket]

Booster reroll button

[strong jacinth]

Did you hook/patch the next round and the reroll button?

[tall wharf]

ok so

[strong jacinth]

And how do you pay with chips

[tall wharf]

try changing the numbers to some random value and see if the changes are reflected

[paper zealot]

That plot looks wrong. There shouldn't be a discontinuity because (4*0.5^3) == (1 - ((-2 * 0.5 + 2)^3) / 2) == 0.5

[zealous glen]

which numbers though

[unkempt thicket]

It's a new currency, and chips is the temp art

[tall wharf]

actually

what

[strong jacinth]

Ooh, makes more sense

[zealous glen]

that was my reaction to it too

[strong jacinth]

But did you hook/patch the next round and the reroll button?

[tall wharf]

-2² = -4

lol

[zealous glen]

This looks a bit better so I wonder if this is what I was trying to do

[lucid owl]

how do you get a card's edition?

[tall wharf]

is it not just card.edition

[lucid owl]

it might be lol

[zealous glen]

I'm gonna try rewriting it

Isn't (-1 % 2) - 1 just 0?

[stark geode]

commited to a project, feeling good

[zealous glen]

(x/2 - 1 % 2) - 1 should then be the same as (x/2 % 2)

[sturdy compass]

W

[zealous glen]

I figured out what I was doing wrong in Desmos

[shut crater]

This successfully created the card, and the card works, but there's no text or name

[narrow iron]

okay, are you defining the name and description somewhere?

[shut crater]

sorry for all the (probably trivial) questions

[narrow iron]

nah its fine

[zealous glen]

are you defining the name and description in the localization file with the wrong or correct keys

[shut crater]

I do not have a localization file, I will go look into that

[chrome widget]

Okay now I just have to figure out how to avoid memory leaks here

Everything else works

[narrow iron]

when i changed the colors of the name on this card it added extra spacing between the words, how could I counteract the extra space?

[modern kindle]

Leaking memory just means more memory surely

[faint yacht]

Does func in the return table require a return true?

[narrow iron]

yes

wait which return table?

[chrome widget]

Does anyone know how to specify that a card is being removed/added to the deck specifically because the game is being exited or loaded?

[faint yacht]

The one used by context.joker_main and the like.

[zealous glen]

What do you need that for

[chrome widget]

remove_from_deck runs when you exit to the main menu, for example. I need to know how to avoid running some code in that case

[zealous glen]

How did you change the name

[narrow iron]

and i defined the colors earlier in the file

[chrome widget]

I need the joker to clear the cardarea it's using from the global table if and only if it's regularly removed from the deck. If I remove the card area universally, it'll mean the cardarea won't be loaded upon reloading the game even though the joker will

[zealous glen]

don't {}

[faint yacht]

fwiw, I use the if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN and not G.screenwipe check to ensure that something happens only during active gameplay.

[chrome widget]

That'll work!!

[zealous glen]

I think {C:…}Gender {C:…}Swap {C:…}Potion should look better

not sure

[narrow iron]

the gap is still there

[zealous glen]

I wonder if you could do it in an event

[zealous glen]

how did you add this feature

also try writing the name without spaces

[narrow iron]

its in my localization file

i just added custom colors

it acts the exact same as {C:attention} or {C:mult} would

just a different color

[zealous glen]

That's not what I asked

I don't think colored names are supported in vanilla

Maybe SMODS added it

[narrow iron]

ohh

yea i didnt change anything to add colored names

[zealous glen]

idk then try this

[spark pumice]

👋 I don't really know how to do... any of this? I know it's possible to check when a boss blind is, and I know it's possible to add negative to a random joker, but is it possible to make Jokers Eternal?

[narrow iron]

it did reduce the gap, now its slightly smaller than a normal space but it works for me

[next timber]

how would I make a joker that selects a random rank, but every copy of the joker has the same rank? i want to make a joker that clones itself but if you play the randomly selected rank it destroys all of them

[narrow iron]

SMODS.Stickers['eternal']:apply(card, true) should work, just change card to your variable

[spark pumice]

Okay, thanks!

[narrow iron]

you could store the rank in a global variable and only update the variable if it its currently nil

otherwise just read it

[next timber]

i mean i want it to change every blind selected but thats a start

[zealous glen]

Like Castle etc.

Check the Castle example in the example mods

[next timber]

do all copies of castle you have use the same suit?

[scarlet spire]

just curious since i've been messing around with custom consumable types before, but is there default smods behavior for, instead of making a new "consumable types" submenu, just slotting the new consumable type in and adjusting the layout slightly if there's only one new type in the mod? (like this visual mockup i've made?)

there's totally room for it, so it surprised me that smods instantly resorts to throwing them all into a sub-menu even when there's only one new type

[zealous glen]

when the player uses multiple mods:

[scarlet spire]

well yeah if there's more than 1 new type, then it's time for the submenu

I'm just wondering how easy it would be to have a special condition for only one new consumable type that more neatly fits it into the menu, since the submenu is a bit of a pain for quick navigation

[zealous glen]

I reckon they opted for consistency and just always put it behind a submenu

[wintry solar]

I think it's better to have a consistent ui rather than one that changes depending on installs

and looking at this, I have no idea why the blinds button is twice the size of the others

[scarlet spire]

oh you know what, blinds is bigger so it matches the height of the left column

but then there's the "other" button now, which unbalances it once again

[narrow iron]

i have a joker with a chance to destroy cards after a hand is played, but when the cards are destroyed there are empty spaces left in the deck

[scarlet spire]

the way I see it, it's already changing every time you add/remove a mod with new consumable types, I feel like it wouldn't hurt much to make consumables a bit easier to access in this menu if there's only one new type

but, that's just how I see it

[zealous glen]

use the built-in feature to automatically destroy cards

[narrow iron]

what function is that?

[zealous glen]

Not a function

Context

It's in the wiki

[scarlet spire]

it's a bit unintuitive at first, but you're going to want to use the context.destroy_card context, which triggers for every card in the played hand (iirc?)
if you then return { remove = true } for any of these cards, those cards are destroyed correctly without leaving ghosts

[zealous glen]

It's important to note that the most likely reason for ghost/invisible cards is due to event timing and lost references

[scarlet spire]

so the simplest calculate function involving this would be:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play then
            return { remove = true }
        end
    end```
which just destroys all scored cards

[wintry solar]

you can make that simpler btw

[zealous glen]

All of calculation runs before animations are played, which means even if you destroy a card at animation timing, it may have references pointing to it still

[wintry solar]

context.destroying_card is unique to played cards

[scarlet spire]

ah, yeah I suppose so

[narrow iron]

so this works now?

[scarlet spire]

the wiki lists it alongside a G.play check

[narrow iron]

wait so how can i make a joker destory cards?

[wintry solar]

like wheat said

[wintry solar]

yeah the wiki is based off the old context iirc

[scarlet spire]

remove is false by default so you don't have to return anything in that case I believe, but that should work

[narrow iron]

okay thanks

yep works now

[sullen fern]

it's not animating...

[zealous glen]

I'm not sure animated Jokers are supported. I know people have done them, but they were sensitive/prone to crashing. That is, using only vanilla tools. MathIsFun had a homecooked solution. There was also a SMODS PR to add official support for them

is your pfp the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends' character?

[modern kindle]

damn i havent thought about fosters in awhile

[zealous glen]

this is bloo now:

https://tenor.com/view/megamind-gif-26070434

[sullen fern]

it's an amimated consumable

[zealous glen]

same thing

it's all Card

[sullen fern]

so no animated consumables???

[zealous glen]

not yet anyways

[shrewd cobalt]

Might be a problem with my formatting, but I'm trying to make a joker that debuffs face cards and adds mult based on the amount of face cards in deck,

Tallying the face cards work, but when I add the line to debuff it too, only the debuff line seems to work, why is that?

[frosty dock]

once the cards are debuffed, they're no longer considered face cards

[zealous glen]

doesn't this tally them first?

[shrewd cobalt]

ohhhh, alrighty then

[limber blaze]

pointer in cryptid for example just does it by modifying the pos attribute of the card in G.P_CENTERS

[zealous glen]

[placid star]

can SMODS.Rarity use shop_rate or is it something else?

[stark geode]

Is there a way to tell what blind has been selected in the blind selected context

[reef belfry]

G.GAME.blind:get_type() == "Blind Type"?

[chrome widget]

Is there a way to decouple the rotation of a uibox to its parent?

I've managed to be able to manually apply the x and y positions, but for whatever reason I can't seem to get the rotation to become independent of the parent

[placid star]

is there a way to tell what the current ante is and what the current round is?

[red flower]

G.GAME.round
G.GAME.round_resets.ante

[unkempt thicket]

Bit of a late reply I left to get some food, no I didn't patch the buttons themselves or used and 'at' pattern for them.

[narrow iron]

whats the proper way to set the edition in SMODS.add_card?

[faint yacht]

e_nagative?

[red flower]

like that but without the brackets

also yeah negative

[narrow iron]

🤦 thanks

[zealous glen]

I think it’s either all or nothing. Not sure you can do it individually

Maybe you can try to just apply the inverse rotation though

[chrome widget]

The weirdness is just that I'm not really getting anything when it comes to trying to manually set the rotation myself

But I can do it with x and y pos

Not really sure why they're treated differently

[zealous glen]

Are you doing T.r or VT.r?

[chrome widget]

both

[zealous glen]

Is this for a soul sprite

[chrome widget]

No, it's for the UI for this fridge card

[red flower]

jumbo jokerdisplay

[chrome widget]

I suppose maybe it just is that 0 rotation is the inherited one

[next timber]

im trying to use G.playing_cards in a blind's in_pool function, but it's giving me an error that it's nil?

[zealous glen]

I mean this looks right to me

[chrome widget]

I need the storage menu not to rotate

Makes the UI really hard to interact with

[red flower]

does it work if you add a nil check or is it always nil

[chrome widget]

The best I can get is setting the r_bond to weak, but it still nudges a little bit when you move the card

[red flower]

isnt it just better to not make the uibox a child of the card

[chrome widget]

it is

if it's not a child of the card it's inherently more work to store it somewhere else

[red flower]

i just store a million things directly in G

[next timber]

it's only nil for the first ante, but that does mean the blind can't appear ante 1 even if the condition is met

which sucks because i do in fact have a deck where the condition is met immediately

oh hang on its not always ante 1?? it might just be the first run of the session??

its late i dont wanna deal with this im going to bed

[red flower]

lol

[chrome widget]

Hmm is there a way to manually hide the joker description box...

there is! Card:remove_ui()

Which is not used very much in vanilla

[placid star]

okay so does anyone know any weird bugs with pixel smoothing? this is my jonklers with 2x assets (and yes my 2x asset file is double the size of the 1x)

[sullen fern]

doodel

[reef belfry]

The second coming of strangepencil

[placid star]

also my custom consumables in a different atlas display just fine with pixel smoothing on and off

[placid star]

never mind, my asset files were massive lmao

[sullen fern]

how do i make a consumable play sound when used

this is for the command scrolls by the way

i want them to play the command on the scroll

eg. you use the march of mobility and it plays "pata pata pata pon"

i also want a little popup to appear saying the specfic drum being played

i know its possible but like how do i do it

i know how to play a sound.

and i know how to make a message appear.

but can i do it both at the same time

i mean i probably can

[red flower]

tiny text

i need to figure out how to expand the description

[stark geode]

The more I learn about how this game works the more interesting it is

[sturdy compass]

REAL!!!!!

[glass scaffold]

How (un)balanced is this draft?

[mellow sierra]

im assuming wildcard is more rare than legendary if so i think the rarity(lower rarity) / odds should be a bit better

either lower the rarity or change the odds imo

[buoyant shard]

How do I make a joker always have the eternal sticker? Kind of like cube from cryptid, but I can't find it in its code

[glass scaffold]

To get one, you need 1x of each previous rarity of that Agent.

[glad osprey]

how make sleeve that turns all playing cards six

[mellow sierra]

still too hard to get imo and not worth the time

[glass scaffold]

What about cranking it down to 1/20 or 1/10

[mellow sierra]

up to you honestly also consider it with oops all 6! @glass scaffold

[mellow sierra]

thats a good range to test it out but remember

[glass scaffold]

Yeah, that's the biggest thing.

And then you have Seeded via Cryptid.

[mellow sierra]

make stuff thats YOU find fun to play and im sure

other people will like it

havent tried the cryptid mod but yeah

u catch my drift

[red sail]

hello, i recently finished making a recolor for the suits in the game. could anyone help inform me on how i might change the text color for suits to match my recolor, like the ones on jokers?

[reef belfry]

Whats a good rarity name for something thats a better legendary but has a niche downside

[glad osprey]

gold or crystal

gold bcus its valuable but brittle

crystal bcus like that but not

[analog pilot]

alternatively, Gilded

gold on the outside but is not entirely clean or perfect within

[stark geode]

how do i use smods create card to create a playing card

[glad osprey]

no

[stark geode]

im guessing i have to use the vanilla create card thing

[glad osprey]

yes

[stark geode]

cool

[lucid owl]

how could i add a consumable type to arcana packs? as in, there's a chance of them showing up like how omen globe works?

[stark geode]

how does the create card thing work

[glad osprey]

i am an idiot

[glad osprey]

what are you trying to do with it

[stark geode]

create a glass face card

[storm wharf]

does anyone know where in the source code i can view the calculations for the jokers?

[stark geode]

im working my way through it now

[glad osprey]

card.lua

[stark geode]

reading the sorce code be takin a minute

[storm wharf]

it's my first time ever modding a game and i'm trying to find examples of what i'm trying to do. I've looked at others' mods but i can't find what i'm looking for so i

i'm going straight to the source code

[stark geode]

gl hf

[glad osprey]

i have been looking at this code for 20 minutes and this fucking tilde was the issue i hate this job

[stark geode]

what even is a card center

[glad osprey]

everything thats movable

[stark geode]

oh good

nice to know im not even in the half of it

[signal slate]

I'm in pain again
How does someone make a custom rarity
Like I know this part:
SMODS.Rarity({
key = "Test",
loc_txt = {},
badge_colour = HEX("FFFFFF"),
default_weight = 0.003,
pools = { ["Joker"] = true },
get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
end,
})
But the function for that rarity is making my mind blank out
I also asked people in #⚙・modding-general

[red flower]

what are you looking for

[glad osprey]

when i hook something the code gets run after the og function right?

[red flower]

it gets run when you call the reference

it can be before after or in the middle

[glad osprey]

ah sweet

[stark geode]

can you help me with this, im trying to get the joker to create a glass face card when sold during a boss blind

[chrome widget]

is copy_table a nested copy?

[red flower]

what part doesn't work

[chrome widget]

I.E. does it copy to the full depth of the table or is there a limit?

[stark geode]

i need to know if im doing the right context check

and im creating the card properly

[red flower]

it should be just context.selling_self and G.GAME.blind.boss (get_type boss also works)

for creating a card you need to probably do pseudorandom_element to replace 'A_H' for face rank + random suit
you can also do center = G P_CENTERS.m_glass i think instead of set_edition

[lucid owl]

bump

[red flower]

also i think the second argument of create_playing_card needs to be the area (G.hand) or it won't emplace properly

[stark geode]

I'll try this later

Hey guys, when you make your own legendary card, will it automatically spawn via the soul card?

How do other people normally handle legendary cards that are added via a mod?

I was debating on whether just making it be rare because it is quite powerful

[red flower]

the answer to the first question is yes

[manic rune]

why r u beatin me 🥀

hm

well surely it cant affect performance that much

stick to the uis already provided by balatro instead

im scared of accidentally creating multiple dimensions in my balatro

[reef belfry]

Making a series of jokers that use an affection system akin to that of a dating game

A. Change the values on the joker based on how high/low the affection is
B. Evolve that joker when it reaches max lowest/highest affection
C. Mix both
D. This idea sucks i hate you

its past april fools already

probably C

would be interesting to see how it would be implemented

can i use the func provided in an UI's config to change its size?

or would i still need to use update

you should be able to change the UI on the fly but you're getting into hard UI territory so idk

I don't think there's one but you can make your own

:p

[lilac tapir]

do NOT have the knowledge for that

[manic rune]

it updates whenever ref_value changes, so its pretty nice

[red flower]

I don't have the code at hand rn but it would probably be a simple hook of level_up_hand and calling SMODS.calculate_context{level_up_hand = hand_key}

what the bar for

[manic rune]

new mechanic my jokers use

[brisk pond]

just updated steamodded and this happened

[manic rune]

some attacks will build up a BREAK bar on a playing card

[modern kindle]

https://tenor.com/view/yoink-cat-dragged-gif-1263419341748157821

[manic rune]

i will try to pr this thing after i polished it lol

not sure if its up to smod's standards though

[modern kindle]

i dont even know what id want a progress bar for

i think itd be neat to display cards becoming active

[manic rune]

well it would find quite a few niche uses

[reef belfry]

One of them wouldve probably been past me

[normal crest]

Does this mean the card has a toughness bar

Or is that the blind's

[manic rune]

yuppp

[lucid owl]

how could i add a consumable type to arcana packs? as in, there's a chance of them showing up like how omen globe works? i tried a patch in the same way omen globe does it and it does nothing

[manic rune]

decided to go an extre mile for break characters

else i think they wouldnt be too unique compared to the current characters :p

[lucid owl]

grahh work pls

[normal crest]

I don't get what the break bar represents tbh

[manic rune]

my current concept for it rn is that currently, some characters have attacks which target cards already, right?

so my idea is: "attacking" a card with a break character will increases its break bar

and when it reaches max, do some unique stuff

• debuffs the card for current ante

[lucid owl]

the way the base game has omen globe do it is super simple, no clue why my patch won't do anything

[normal crest]

Oh, so the card actually breaks

[manic rune]

mhm

[normal crest]

I thought it was the card's progress towards breaking the boss

[manic rune]

nop :p

where im going with this is that i want break chars to be more on the strategic side, you would need to figure out what cards you want to break

so you wouldnt go straight for your best cards immediately

but at the same time, mindlessly using bad cards will cause your deck to be flooded with debuffed cards later on

i think it would be fun

[lucid owl]

anyone who's done custom consumables ever figured this out?

[normal crest]

Are you looking at the lovely dump

[lucid owl]

no, should i check there? it's not like there's a crash or anything

[normal crest]

Yes, when making patches always look at the lovely dump

One to look for what line you want to modify, since steamodded patches may modify it before you

Two to see if it actually applied properly

[daring fern]

Propel.

[lucid owl]

it seems to have been done correctly

[normal crest]

you're not actually excluding the other cases when yours triggers

So what I assume is happening is that your card is immediately being overwritten by a spectral or tarot

[lucid owl]

ohh, that makes sense

how could i fix that?

[edgy reef]

SMODS reworks vanilla booster packs to use SMODS.Booster's create_card function.

So patching the Card:open function will do nothing.

[tall wharf]

should i add spider solitaire next

[lucid owl]

well that's annoying lol

so i should patch the SMODS rework instead?

[edgy reef]

You can hook the create_card function and take ownership.

[lucid owl]

seems like this is where smods changed it

[lucid owl]

so would a simple hook work then?

[edgy reef]

Actually this would be scuffed, just patch lmfao

[manic rune]

hmmm

should i add an args option to create_progress_bar

[lucid owl]

lol alright, how would one patch an smods file

[manic rune]

that changes the color of the bar if ref_value reaches max?

or is it unnecessary :p

[daring fern]

How could I put a badge for each unique seal on a card?

[glass scaffold]

Is there a way to use a texture larger than 71 x 95 for a Joker?

[lucid owl]

how could i work around this?

lua logic isn't my forte

nevermind, i got it!

[daring fern]

You would set the atlas px and py to the width and height of the sprite.

[glass scaffold]

Thanks

[manic rune]

hmm

how do i use detailed_tooltip

not sure why this is wrong

[gentle rain]

would having an ipairs within an ipairs like this make the function not work?

[manic rune]

suits['1']?

[gentle rain]

currently trying to make flower pot type effect with suits other than the standard 4

[gentle rain]

ah sorry

[manic rune]

well

v no longer refers to a card

[gentle rain]

hmmm

[gentle rain]

i could use a local variable to set the card's base suit before the second i, v

wait then i wouldnt even need the second

[reef belfry]

Ehhhhhh

[manic rune]

you know you can just change the "i,v" part right

[gentle rain]

oh you can?

[manic rune]

i,v are just names

[gentle rain]

no clue you could

[manic rune]

you can change it to anything you want

for index,value
for _,value
for _,card

etc

[manic rune]

aint no way 😭

[manic rune]

i actually dont know why its wrong

or i assume the value isnt the same at all?

[paper zealot]

Is this on the config of a UIElement? Context pls

[gentle rain]

couldn't you also use the badge function?

[manic rune]

yeah

[manic rune]

not the same, its an UI that appears when you are hovering on an UI

[gentle rain]

ohhh my mistake

[manic rune]

i tried changing "title" with "name", didnt seem to work either

pretty sure its just how i set the value thats wrong now

[paper zealot]

Oh, detailed_tooltip is suited to cards.

  function create_UIBox_detailed_tooltip(_center)
    local full_UI_table = {
        main = {},
        info = {},
        type = {},
        name = 'done',
        badges = badges or {}
    }
    local desc = generate_card_ui(_center, full_UI_table, nil, _center.set, nil)
    return {n=G.UIT.ROOT, config={align = "cm", colour = G.C.CLEAR}, nodes={
      {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", colour = lighten(G.C.JOKER_GREY, 0.5), r = 0.1, padding = 0.05, emboss = 0.05}, nodes={
        info_tip_from_rows(desc.info[1], desc.info[1].name),
      }}
    }}
  end

Check generate_card_ui for how it'll be interpreted

[manic rune]

ack

the wiki said its similar to tooltip so i thought its set up the same 🥀

[paper zealot]

Try providing detailed_tooltip.set and detailed_tooltip.key to pull it from the localization files

It eventually ends up at

full_UI_table.name = localize{type = 'name', set = _c.set, key = _c.key, nodes = full_UI_table.name}
``` where `_c` is `detailed_tooltip`

[manic rune]

ah

icic

[paper zealot]

(not sure if SMODS changes all this)

Alternatively instead of using detailed_tooltip you can provide an entirely custom UI to h_popup

[lucid owl]

is there an easy way to put a voucher next to existing ones in the collection? (for third levels of vouchers like how cryptid does it)

[manic rune]

do i go with smt like this?

i remember set can be nil, but im not sure if thats true

:p

[reef belfry]

Theoretically can you make a consumable start a blind that isnt in the actual blind line up of the ante

Basically that one cryptid code consumable but instead of a shop its a blind

[rapid stag]

what's a simple and efficient way of incrementing across letters of the alphabet?

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[rapid stag]

if 1 = A, 2 = B, 3 = C and so on,

if var = 'A'
var = var + 1 would be 'B'

[tall wharf]

😭

i have a function for this 😭😭😭😭

[rapid stag]

ooh

[crisp coral]

python ord()

[daring fern]

You could have a table of all letters, then it would be letters[i]

[rapid stag]

this was my first thought, but i was wondering if anyone had something better

or if that is just the best way to do that

[lucid owl]

seems like i hallucinated cryptid ever having tier 3 vouchers not in their own section lol

[gentle rain]

code that was given to me to add a tooltip to a card, which ended up not working

[manic rune]

this is some fucking diabolical starting code template, what

???

😭

[manic rune]

thats wrong

[ocean niche]

How do I check if the current blind is a boss blind, im using steamodded

[daring fern]

Why is it jokerInfo.loc_vars?

[manic rune]

loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
  info_queue[#info_queue + 1] =...
end

[gentle rain]

ah!

it was from one of the cardsauce devs

and their code is formatted weeeird

ty though!

[manic rune]

wait shit

[ocean niche]

is there a variable or is it more complicated than that

[manic rune]

fucked up the order

there :3

[gentle rain]

G.GAME.blind.boss

[ocean niche]

ty

[gentle rain]

:DDD

[reef belfry]

Oh right i should probably add tooltips to my stuff

[gentle rain]

also its kinda funny to me how localthunk coded flower pot

[lilac tapir]

forwarding this here

[daring fern]

Try update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 1.1, delay = 0}, {mult = 0, chips = 0, handname = '', level = ''})

[sturdy compass]

I was boutta say. The text isn't being updated back to neutral

[lilac tapir]

ye this is the second card im making so i know next to nothing lol

[modern kindle]

i was also gonna say the sme thing something did

lmao

[old bane]

so this probably was something unused in vanilla

[lilac tapir]

also i guess the fact its two pair isnt appearing either

[old bane]

but i love it

[modern kindle]

whats meant to be unused

[lilac tapir]

How would I then make it show the upgrade text instead of blank

[gentle rain]

maybe it was used for an early rental tag?

[old bane]

i don't think i've seen the -$ sign

[old bane]

maybe

[gentle rain]

but then localthunk decided to have it be before scoring so it can affect interest and be harder

[modern kindle]

i couldve sworn ive seen it from something, cause i also implemented it into one of my cards..

i cant recall for the life of me though

[gentle rain]

well yeah, it exists in code but not in any actual cards

[modern kindle]

well thats the thing, i couldve sworn i saw it in a card

but its possible i just read the code and imagined it in a dream

[ocean niche]

attempt too index field game (a nil value)

[gentle rain]

where are you using it

[paper zealot]

You could convert to the ASCII value and back again.

string.char(97) == "a"
string.byte("a") == 97

[rapid stag]

oooh

[ocean niche]

where does it need too be

[gentle rain]

you should be using it somewhere like here, where you establish the context in which an effect triggers. for context, this triggers at the end of the round while a variable is less than another variable

[old bane]

in vanilla there's no jokers that do that (idk about other effects)

[modern kindle]

im prob just imagining shit then, many such cases for me

[gentle rain]

only jokers and green deck affect the cash out screen

[gentle rain]

and TECHNICALLY seed money / money tree

[tall wharf]

@manic rune

[tall wharf]

you return message

[heavy hare]

would anyone know why these UIBoxes have the grey-ish border around them?

        local uiDef = UIBox{definition=
            {n=G.UIT.ROOT, config={align = "cm"}, nodes={
            {n=G.UIT.O, config={maxh=0.5,minw=2,object = sprite,align = "cm"}
            }}}, config={align="cm"}
        }
        sprite_node = {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "cm",},nodes={
        {n=G.UIT.O, config={id='tracker_'..type,align = "cm", object=uiDef}
        }}}

that's the function that makes each "sprite_node", which is a UIBox

ideally i'm trying to make them completely transparent

[ocean niche]

anyone know how too make text slightly float

[manic rune]

good evening

[tall wharf]

it's not even noon yet

[manic rune]

:3

[manic rune]

try changing the background color to G.C.CLEAR

[gentle rain]

doesnt every text box already do that

[ocean niche]

i want the shadow but idk how

[vital forge]

I try to add lovely, steamodded. Then use balatro-mobile-maker to port to ios. Có ai có thể giúp tôi sửa lỗi này không?

[manic rune]

thats a weird looking pc

[glass scaffold]

huh_cat.mp3

[heavy hare]

something like this?

        local uiDef = UIBox{definition=
            {n=G.UIT.ROOT, config={align = "cm"}, nodes={
            {n=G.UIT.O, config={maxh=0.5,minw=2,object = sprite,align="cm",colour=G.C.CLEAR}
            }}}, config={align="cm"}
        }

[manic rune]

not sure if its in that node

[heavy hare]

it didn't work but i'm still looking on how to change the color

[manic rune]

try adding that in all nodes :3

see which one works lol

[manic rune]

sadly no one is allowed to help you here, BUT https://discord.gg/henk8q4c

[rapid stag]

hey, can anyone else confirm whether or not attempting to add to wild card's info_queue has weird and unexpected results?
