[tall wharf]

this file has a bunch of functions

[manic rune]

hey thats my idea!!

[daring fern]

It works fine for me.

[tall wharf]

i literally can't be assed to write G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event{func = blah, trigger = "after", delay = 0.1})

[scarlet spire]

is it possible to make a custom sticker incompatible with another sticker? in this case, eternal?

[scarlet spire]

or, obviously it's possible, I'm just not sure how to do that

[manic rune]

is this fair

[old bane]

destroying 3 random cards O_O

[old bane]

ah

[manic rune]

its not that bad if u dont fuck up :3

[rapid stag]

in early antes, probably not
in later antes, may actually be beneficial if player has too many cards in deck

[tall wharf]

instead i just write AKYRS.simple_event_add(blah, 0.1)

[manic rune]

but what if you want to change the trigger type

to like "before" or "immediate"

[tall wharf]

i will write the whole thing

i usually just want the after so

[manic rune]

i see

https://tenor.com/view/go-gadget-pixel-reducer-fan-gif-9633892696658046476

[tall wharf]

i need some more testers for the solitaire thing

to see if this at least was close to the windows one

i added the card stacking

thing

also no i didn't end up using major whatever that is

[crisp coral]

lammmmeeeeee
dontchu want to spend 5 minutes finding a file with an event function to copy it over

[tall wharf]

i do remember the argument

at least some of them

[lucid owl]

how could one make something reroll the shop without increasing the cost? (different from chaos the clown as that's just once)

i think the idea might be to mess with how reroll price increases are done but it's a bit convoluted

[tepid crow]

isn't there some sort of reroll_cost_increase variable?

could set that to 0

[paper zealot]

First issue is that the window is too large for 16:9 displays, might need to scale or squish the cards down a smidge.
Second, if you do go ahead with extending Card (which i think you should), you could probably disable the card hover tooltip since it's a little distracting and unnecessary

[tall wharf]

1. this is a fair point because i haven't properly tested on 16:9
2. maybe i can add some modifier to solitaire who knows

[paper zealot]

Card shadows on stacks are dodgy, but i guarantee that won't be easy to fix, so probably ignorable

[manic rune]

solitaire in my poker game...

[paper zealot]

Game is arguably too easy when the reserve deck deals one card at a time instead of the standard 3. I haven't been able to lose a game yet

[glass scaffold]

So uhh how do I make a card a Lucky Card using the new documentation?

[manic rune]

context.other_card doesnt exist in context.joker_main

change context.joker_main to context.individual

[tall wharf]

yeah

[paper zealot]

2. Would be as easy as not including the tooltip argument on card creation, I don't think you'd even need to touch HyperCard:hover

[old bane]

context.other_card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_lucky, nil, true)

[tall wharf]

also I'd like to redirect your feedback into my server so i can keep track or just my thread

[tall wharf]

i already had to patch the Game:draw() nothing is real anymore

[signal slate]

One small issue that could occur with the solitare

[glass scaffold]

And do I need to worry about having the pseudorandom part in or can that be substituted?

[manic rune]

change the key to something more unique

[signal slate]

What if somebody had say the 60 suits mod on there

[manic rune]

probably doesnt matter

[tall wharf]

it stays at 4 suits

[signal slate]

ok

[tall wharf]

i locked it to be just the base 52 cards

[manic rune]

aiko how are you so cool

[tall wharf]

no

[old bane]

since it's a chance for the card to become a lucky card, pseudorandom is needed

[tall wharf]

just for the sake of being evil I'll add 6 suit klondike

[manic rune]

what sound does a chainsaw make

[tall wharf]

probably chainsaw sound

[reef belfry]

Vbhhhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[manic rune]

thank you aiko

[old bane]

LMAO

[tall wharf]

saws

[manic rune]

randomly selected message everytime

[old bane]

i have literally zero clue on how to implement highlighting cards (not like selecting them but literally making them glow)

[manic rune]

❤️

[manic rune]

glow??

[old bane]

cause one of my card effects is highlighting the best possible hand (not like scoring wise but just the highest poker hand you can play)

but idk how to add like a glowing outline to cards

[manic rune]

the best solution would be to make a shader

:p

[old bane]

true! SMODS.DrawStep my beloved

[tall wharf]

damn i love shaders

[old bane]

cause i was thinking like

the glow would be like an outline

[tall wharf]

問題がある

[old bane]

but i could probably just make it like

[old bane]

glow the card itself

[manic rune]

man

[tall wharf]

what the hell

[old bane]

i wonder if for this i could just put G.hand.cards into evaluate_poker_hand and then it would return the results 🤔

[tall wharf]

I'm too stupid

Minecraft Movie is actually peak

[manic rune]

i

am steve

https://gyazo.com/3a8be86e572551786a87af078a1329ac

[old bane]

basically my vision is:

1. it evaluates the poker hand using evaluate_poker_hand (a modified version that limits things to five cards if need be)
2. it stores the cards in the highest hand possible into an array
3. SMODS.DrawStep grabs that array from the Joker and checks if each card is in that array
4. if yes, highlight the card

idk if this will work but we have to try

[tall wharf]

he actually said it

[glass scaffold]

I did the same pattern with my last Joker and that worked.

[ocean niche]

anyone know how too remove a random joker from the players deck

[manic rune]

joker's key 😭

[old bane]

Arya_UncommonRarity.png

[manic rune]

thats one hell of a 🔑

[tall wharf]

decks don't store joker?

[ocean niche]

just remove a random joker

[old bane]

pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, pseudoseed('your seed here'))

[glass scaffold]

I'll probably clean it up when this isn't just from the start.

[manic rune]

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ --Destroy the marked Joker
                  func = function()
                     jokerIsMarked.T.r = -0.2
                     jokerIsMarked:juice_up(0.3, 0.4)
                     jokerIsMarked.states.drag.is = true
                     jokerIsMarked.children.center.pinch.x = true
          
                     G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.3, blockable = false,
                           func = function()
                              G.jokers:remove_card(jokerIsMarked)
                              jokerIsMarked:remove()
                              jokerIsMarked = nil
                              return true; end})) 
                     return true
                  end
                  })) 

this is what i do to remove a joker, you can change jokerIsMarked to what joker you want to destroy

[old bane]

and then remove it using start_dissolve()

[manic rune]

its not about the prefix

they called the atlas wrong too

its uncommon_arya

[tall wharf]

right

[manic rune]

not the path itself 🥀

[tall wharf]

you'll also need prefix too

[manic rune]

nop

[tall wharf]

i think you do

[manic rune]

nuh

[tall wharf]

then nevermind then

[manic rune]

:3 its a good practice to add your mod's prefix to atlas' key though

but its not mandatory

[tall wharf]

man i sure love adding blind to my deck

[manic rune]

what

[tall wharf]

nothing

[glass scaffold]

Yeah, none of that worked.

The common variant is the one that works.

So now it's a game of Spot The Difference

Any other ideas?

Wait, my last stable version has way different variables. I'll just rollback and use those.

[glass scaffold]

Yeah, that's what my last stable ver has, so going with it

WE'RE BACK

And the code works first try.

[ocean niche]

rare

how do you add a delay??

nvm

how can I detect shop start?

[ruby delta]

@glass scaffold sorry for the ping, needed a small help, I wanted to change a joker's texture, and name, it's only one joker

How can I do it

[glass scaffold]

The name of a joker is dictated via the Name in loc_txt.
For texture, you'll need to have the Atlas and Joker like the one in my example.

[daring fern]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1300851004186820690

[ruby delta]

So the joker I wanted to change is Shoot the moon, and can I also add those tiny candy-like round tag which mostly shows the name of the mod or the creator of the texture like that

[glass scaffold]

If you're wanting to modify a vanilla Joker, that's a different ballgame since your mod will need to take ownership of it.

The "tiny candy-like" tags are automatically added.

[ruby delta]

Okay let's forget about those tags I am still a beginner so I barely understand 😅 don't wanna disturb ya too much

[ruby delta]

So if I copy this text and just replace the name will it work ?

[glass scaffold]

You'll need to have the assets folders (make sure that folder contains an 1x and 2x folder as well with your Joker's .png)

Then have the Atlas in the code point to the .png, and from there, follow the example.

[ruby delta]

Wait lemme do it and show it to ya, I know about the assets part I just don't know what size should it be

[glass scaffold]

Commonly:

1x is 71 * 95

2x is 142 * 190

However, you don't NEED to follow it as you can make it any size.
Just adjust for it accordingly in your Atlas.

[ruby delta]

Perfect thanks, a lot!

[ruby delta]

U left me there again 😭

Owhhh

I get it

= "Mmmmm.png",
px = 710,
py = 950
}

This? @glass scaffold

[ocean niche]

how do you activate something at the start of the shop

[daring fern]

You mean like context.starting_shop?

[glass scaffold]

Note: px and py are how wide and tall your .PNG is respectively.

[ocean niche]

ill try that

[glass scaffold]

Also, you need the key and path.

[ruby delta]

So not about sizing

[glass scaffold]

(check the example on how it goes.)

[glass scaffold]

Those 2 variables determine the size of the texture the Joker uses in-game.

It's best to make sure it matches the actual dimensions of your .PNG

[ruby delta]

I don't need this right?
text = {
"Each played {C:attention}7{}",
"gives {C:chips}+#1#{} Chips and",
"{C:mult}+#2#{} Mult when scored"
}
},
config = {
extra = {
chips = 70,
mult = 7

Btw the example is that a custom joker or the in-game one

[ocean niche]

this works ty

[glass scaffold]

That part isn't needed in your case.

And that code is for a custom one.

[ruby delta]

Owh now I get it because yesterday I changed that and the modicon acted weird 😅

@glass scaffold am I correct?

Again, sorry for disturbing you

[ocean niche]

yoy!!

[ruby delta]

😅 typing error

[glass scaffold]

Yep, looks good.

Just add the text part in there for the loc_txt.

[glass scaffold]

I'm always wanting to help.

[ocean niche]

how too add negative too a random joker

[glass scaffold]

I haven't gotten that far yet. Someone else may know.

[ocean niche]

@tall wharf do you know how too remove a random joker?

[ruby delta]

❤️🔥 THANK YOU!

[glass scaffold]

No worries.
-# That assumes my advice worked first try, which is rare as hell.

[daring fern]

local eligible = {}

        eligible[#eligible+1] = v
    end

randomjoker:start_dissolve()

[ocean niche]

ill see if this works

[ruby delta]

I have not tested it yet as I am doing everything on mobile 😵‍💫

[ocean niche]

it works thanks

@daring fern would you happen too know how too add negative too a random joker?

[daring fern]

local eligible = {}

local randomjoker = pseudorandom_element(eligible, pseudoseed('negative'))
randomjoker:set_edition({negative = true})

[ruby delta]

@glass scaffold last ping

Correct?

[glass scaffold]

Looks good, but what the hell is the unlock? I haven't seen it, so I can't advise you on it.

[ruby delta]

I took it out from the games localization 💀

[glass scaffold]

I'll trust in that.

[daring fern]

unlock is what it says when it is locked.

[glass scaffold]

I'll add that to my notes for next time.

[ocean niche]

2nd line attempted too call a table value

[daring fern]

Which line?

[ocean niche]

wait

for k, v in (G.jokers.cards) do
if not v.ability.eternal then
eligible[#eligible+1] = v
end
end

first line of this

@daring fern ?

[ruby delta]

@glass scaffold 😵‍💫it added a new joker instead

[modern kindle]

doesnt your code say smods.joker

that would make it a joker

[daring fern]

Replace the first line of that with for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do

[ocean niche]

one last thing, How too add eternal too a joker?

[rose dragon]

card.ability.eternal

[ocean niche]

I dont think that would work

can you provide more context

[daring fern]

A random joker?

[ocean niche]

i tried this and it didnt work

[daring fern]

local eligible = {}
for k, v in (G.jokers.cards) do
    if not v.ability.eternal then
        eligible[#eligible+1] = v
    end
end
local randomjoker = pseudorandom_element(eligible, pseudoseed('negative'))
randomjoker:set_eternal(true)

[ocean niche]

thanks

youve basically coded this entire joker for me lol

thanks alot

line 50 field edition is nil

@daring fern

[daring fern]

Change that to if not v.edition then

[ocean niche]

it works now

lets gooo

time for art

[modern kindle]

Good night chat, development {may} resume on the morrow

[ruby delta]

How can I fix it

[modern kindle]

I'm not sure what you're trying to make, if it's a consumable then it's SMODS.Consumable
If it's a deck it's SMODS.Back

[ruby delta]

am trying to replace shoot the moon joker name to look to the moon and the texture that's all

[daring fern]

You should probably use malverk for that.

[ruby delta]

I just wanna make it into a standalone mod

[modern kindle]

Yea malverk is probably the way
If not couldn't you just use take ownership as well?

[ruby delta]

It's malverk another mod

[daring fern]

Yes.

[reef belfry]

dont know why i would add a mod icon since this would probably never release but why does it look like that

[ruby delta]

I just want to make a standalone mod I have already done. Everything just wanna fix one thing

[ruby delta]

Can you send me the px and py of your code

[ruby delta]

What's the mod about

[reef belfry]

oh right its 32 by 32 not 34

something something risk = reward

[ruby delta]

Perfect hope it works now

[reef belfry]

not taking risks punishes you thouugh

[ruby delta]

🤔

[reef belfry]

yeppers

[ruby delta]

Please can someone help me just replace the name and jokers texture

[scarlet spire]

oh this is fun (annoying), the "shiny" shader used on gold stake specifically responds to the saturation component of the sprite, so a more desaturated sprite has barely any shine on it at all

how do I even get past this

I'm actually realizing now that I've dealt with this before when making the silver seal, because that uses the same shader I think, and I was running into this brightness issue before, which I solved by making a custom variant of the shader that's just way brighter

[glass scaffold]

So the math.random() library in Lua works for Balatro modding...

[daring fern]

It's not recommended though.

[rose dragon]

pseudorandom

[glass scaffold]

Well my code uses pseudorandom for the 1 in 10, but uses math.random() for the Mult.

pseudorandom only generates between 0 and 1, so you see the issue there.

[daring fern]

Pseudorandom uses math.random but with a seed.

[rose dragon]

math.floor(pseudorandom("aryamult")*50)/10

[glass scaffold]

Nah, I'd math.random(0.1, 10)

[tall wharf]

😭😭😭😭

nah that's weaker than a Cavendish

[rose dragon]

the problem is seeded runs

since math.random ignores that

[scarlet spire]

with some pretty simple math, you can convert a 0-1 range to any possible range you want

[tall wharf]

true

[glass scaffold]

I'm not gonna worry too much about seeded runs

[tall wharf]

nvm i just read what it says

[tall wharf]

then the seed won't behave the same

[scarlet spire]

balatro as a game is kind of built upon deterministic randomness

[hushed field]

Pseudorandom has a function specifically to make it pick values between two numbers

[glass scaffold]

As long as it's random (enough), who cares about seeds?

[rose dragon]

[tall wharf]

i do

[glass scaffold]

not the horse plinko 💀

[wintry solar]

You can feed the function a min and max value

[glass scaffold]

But alright, I'll figure that math out a different time.

[wintry solar]

No need for math at all

[glass scaffold]

is SpongeBob a critique on capitalism? yeah i think you just do what eremel said

[tall wharf]

platinum stake 😭😭😭

[reef belfry]

the trecherous blind of

[rose dragon]

take painkillers

[hushed field]

The seed is what keeps your factors consistent when reloading, as well, which is probably more important than seeded runs

[ruby delta]

!!

[glass scaffold]

...So wait, if you reload it, it won't change the value unless I make it psuedorandom?

[scarlet spire]

stake key is 'stake_silver'. localization in the Stake category is under the entry 'stake_silver'. this still doesnt work

[tall wharf]

i wonder if prefix is needed

[scarlet spire]

i've tried every combination of prefixes I can think of

[tall wharf]

i haven't touched stakes yet

[wintry solar]

Mod prefix pls

[reef belfry]

i love the ratio of legendaries to normal jokers that i have

[scarlet spire]

ytf_ is the mod prefix

[wintry solar]

stake_ytf_silver then

[scarlet spire]

ah, stake_ is a whole prefix itself

i'm used to those being one letter for practically everything else

or, I think I tried that at one point, but forgot that class prefixes go before mod prefix

1 am moment

the final thing to figure out here is how to make this custom sticker incompatible with eternal

because. this is not good

[zealous glen]

isn't there a can_apply

[scarlet spire]

oh, there's should_apply

[ruby delta]

@glass scaffold small error doesn't replace the card, instead it's adding

[glass scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-huh-m4rtin-huh-huh-meme-what-cat-gif-27377993

[ruby delta]

😭 anyway to fix it?

[ocean niche]

how too get the amount of jokers you have

[glass scaffold]

I'd have to look at the code live.

But I gotta sleep soon.

[zealous glen]

what are you trying to do

[daring fern]

#G.jokers.cards

[zealous glen]

Incorrect ;P

[ocean niche]

I think I found a different solution

[ruby delta]

Check DMs

[zealous glen]

G.GAME.joker_buffer is a thing you need to keep in mind

there's also dollar and consumeable buffers

[ocean niche]

how would you check a value isnt nil

[daring fern]

if value then

[scarlet spire]

okay this is extremely janky and annoying
using should_apply completely ignores the rate and just makes it always appear if true is returned. and also, card.ability.eternal is always returning false for no reason so I can't even check for eternal if I wanted to

why are stickers like this

[ocean niche]

thanks

[zealous glen]

[wintry solar]

Stickers are massively jank I hate them

[scarlet spire]

I get concerned every time i'm glancing at base game code and see individual checks for hard-coded variables dictating each of the stickers separately

[ocean niche]

anyone know how too add a delay

[scarlet spire]

what should I do for this case, then? I'm not entirely sure what's even going on with the should_apply function, bypass_roll is part of the variables going into the function, and is listed in the docs as doing something, but isn't a value you can actually return, so i'm not sure what this even does? judging by how the function behaves, i'd have to assume it's always active?

[paper zealot]

Only just saw this message, not sure how far you've gotten, but you might find this helpful.
#💻・modding-dev message
I really would recommend using Malverk, it makes things way easier, and also makes your resource changes much easier for others to use alongside other texture mods

[silk scaffold]

hey im figuring out how to make a joker for the mod im working on

but id like to ask if anyone can maybe walk me through to make sure the joker functions

just got the ante_count thing working but i think im only struggling on the last thing now

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "old_joker",
    config = {
        extra = {
            chip_bonus = 35,
            mult_bonus = 6,
            ante_count = 0,
        }
    },
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Old Joker",
        text = {
            "{C:attention}+#1#{} Chips and {C:mult}+#2#{} Mult",
            "per held {C:attention}Ante{} (Current: #3#)"
        }
    },

                card.ability.extra.ante_count
            }
        }
    end,
   
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
        if G.GAME.blind.boss then
            card.ability.extra.ante_count = card.ability.extra.ante_count + 1
          return {
            message = localize('Ante up!'),
            colour = G.C.attention,
            card = card
          }
        end
      end
        if context.joker_main then 
            return {
                chip_bonus = card.ability.extra.chip_bonus * card.ability.extra.ante_count,
                mult_bonus = card.ability.extra.mult_bonus * card.ability.extra.ante_count,
                ante_count = card.ability.extra.ante_count
            }
        end
    end
}```

Ohh and as well the message returns an error, lol

it pops up but not in the way i need it to be :p

[wintry solar]

The final return should just be chips = and mult =

[paper zealot]

Could you edit this message to wrap it with code tags?

```lua
SMODS.JOKER {
...etc
```

[silk scaffold]

my apologies

[silk scaffold]

i see

[ocean niche]

how do you add a delay

[paper zealot]

If you use ```lua instead of ``` it'll also do Lua syntax colouring, which is much easier to read

[ocean niche]

im having a issue where its turning jokers that are being dissolved into eternal jokers so they dont get destroyed

[silk scaffold]

oh cool! ty

ok fixing it to mult and chips worked, but the chips value isnt doing the intended effect

[wintry solar]

What’s the intended effect

[silk scaffold]

well i mean it isnt giving a chip bonus :p

the mult is doing what i wanted it to do which is to multiply the mult value with the ante count

Oh i didnt realize that this was also a way to count ante

[wintry solar]

Show your final return again, you must have typed something wrong

[silk scaffold]

sorry, and again ty

[daring fern]

It is chips all lowercase.

[silk scaffold]

just trying to learn and i started a few days ago so im j trying to catch a handle for it

oh.. lmfao

ty

[wintry solar]

You don’t need to return ante count either

That doesn’t do anything

[reef belfry]

shiny

[silk scaffold]

yeup figured that one out
tysm for the help, i rlly appreciate it

where can i find all the G.GAME functions?

I couldnt find it in the documentation

[zealous glen]

What does it do?

[silk scaffold]

Oh, the joker is to be gaining 6 mult and 35 chips for each held ante, it’s not complete yet but the last thing I want to do is make it so it always spawns as eternal

[zealous glen]

I’d rephrase it to something like

When you Ante up, gain…
Or just make it scale off defeating bosses

No

Incorrect

Put it in Card:set_ability

[reef belfry]

now to figure out what these 2 should do

[silk scaffold]

I was replied to as well that there’s a G.GAME.Ante_reset function that I can use to count / track held ante?

[silk scaffold]

Beautiful art

[zealous glen]

I don’t think it’s a function

Or maybe it’s not in G.GAME

And I still think “held Ante” is confusing

[silk scaffold]

Yeah you are right and I’m going to change it to what you suggested tbh

Ty

[silk scaffold]

Where can I find all ‘’G.GAME’’ things?

I couldn’t find it in the steammodded documentation 🥲

[zealous glen]

It’s vanilla

Not modded

[silk scaffold]

Ahhh ok so I’d have to read thru source files ?

Prolly yah

Ok Ty sm for the help again, I appreciate it sm

[reef belfry]

i should prob nerf this

[zealous glen]

What does “When rerolling, 10 rolls” means?

[reef belfry]

the 1 in 4 chance happens 10 times consecutively

i.e 3 missed rolls and 7 landed = $35

[zealous glen]

Why not say “10 times” then

It looks like it’s talking about shop rerolls otherwise

[ocean niche]

                randomjoker:set_eternal(true)
            end
        end
    end  ```

any idea how too stop this from giving  eternal and negative too the joker its deleting

[reef belfry]

i guess

[faint yacht]

Don't override the original randomjoker, instead make the 2nd one have a different variable name and then compare if the 2nd random joker is not the same as the first one.

[ocean niche]

Ill implement that thanks

[daring fern]

How could one auto buy something from the shop?

[ocean niche]

I think It would be better too remove destroyed joker from the eligible list,

[faint yacht]

Or that too.

[daring fern]

Also how would one auto cash out?

@daring fern function/common_events.lua:375: attempt too index a nil value

no clue why this is crashing when It loads my joker

[cold glen]

how to execute function after cashout/start of shop ?

[daring fern]

context.starting_shop

[reef belfry]

how do you go about destroying a card BEFORE it scores

[south lintel]

if I'm using context.other_joker to trigger a joker, what should I do to make it exclude itself from triggering when it triggers with context.joker_main?

[red flower]

context.other_joker and context.other_joker ~= card

[stark geode]

calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if G.GAME.blind:get_type() == 'Boss' and context.selling_self then
            print("tiggered")
            local _card = create_playing_card({
                front = G.P_CARDS['A_H'],
                center = G.P_CENTERS.m_glass
            }, nil, false,false,nil)
            _card:add_to_deck()
            G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
            table.insert(G.playing_cards, _card)
            G.hand:emplace(_card)
            _card.states.visible = nil
        end
        
    end

it creates a blank space in the hand

but not a card

[red flower]

try passing G.hand to the second argument instead of nil

oh also remove the states.visible line probably idk what that's doing but it's probably making it invisible

[stark geode]

its code i got from dna

[tall wharf]

I'm sorry

[red flower]

hi sorry

[zealous glen]

Are you dad?

[daring fern]

Jumprestart.

[zealous glen]

Seems hard

See if card.getting_sliced = true helps

[stark geode]

so the card has this wierd gap

[daring fern]

Or is there a thing to check for that would mean the cash out animation is done?

[red flower]

remove the G.hand:emplace part

[red flower]

kinda hacky but G.FUNCS.cash_out({config={}}) works

[daring fern]

When do I call that?

[red flower]

probably in a add_round_eval_row hook

idk if theres a context for the cash out screen

[stark geode]

it works thx

[south lintel]

I'm trying to make a joker that would behave like a food joker (has xmult that is being lowered and disappears when it reaches 1), but for some reason the game crashes with "attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value" when I buy a card, why?

[red flower]

can i see the config

[south lintel]

config is
config = { extra = { Xmult = 5, Xmult_loss = 0.5 } },

[red flower]

hmm idk what the problem is exactly but all those self inside the event should be card

[south lintel]

gotchu, unfortunately it still crashes so it was not that

[reef belfry]

should this
A. Level up hand by 5
B. Add Xmult to the joker associated with it
C. do something else
D. shut up you suck

[south lintel]

I fixed it, I had to define colour using G.C.RED and not a string 😭

[red flower]

oh didn't notice that lol

[ruby delta]

Thanks to everyone who suggested that I use Malverk, big thanks too @paper zealot

[manic rune]

is it possible to rotate an UI

[daring fern]

Is there a way to always calculate even at the very start with zero jokers?

[brazen solstice]

Hello, who is very good at making mods. Write in PM pls

[red flower]

it should have a .T.r parameter to rotate it but it depends on what major it's tied to

[red flower]

you can hook SMODS.calculate_context

[wintry solar]

It depends on what you want to do for the best way to do it

[unborn bay]

i wonder if anyone has made a joker yet that just turns +Mult to XMult

if someone already did im just gonna do that for chips instead

XChips ,,,,,

[placid star]

does anyone know the add_deck() syntax for creating a card from a certain custom pool?

[manic rune]

is it weird how the red part can still be seen despite "h" being 0?

seems to only apply to h

decided to just make it not visible when its below or equal 0 :p

[placid star]

low contrast cards 😭

[manic rune]

i apologize

[placid star]

also i am intrigued, whats the function of the break thingy?

[manic rune]

here :3

[reef belfry]

I went mentally bonkers tryna think of a cool unique idea and made this instead

[manic rune]

THE joker

somehow

i feel like he might be the joker

[reef belfry]

+⁴(4•4⁴) Mult

[placid star]

😭

[red flower]

what do you want to do?

[placid star]

i just want to generate a card from a specific custom pool

[manic rune]

and now to make the text sideways

[zealous glen]

The better way to play

[placid star]

NO

[zealous glen]

Skill issue

[placid star]

vision issue 😔

[zealous glen]

Should’ve gotten better eyes in the eye gacha

[red flower]

If you don't care about rarities then just use psedurandom_element on a list of keys and use SMODS.add_card to add that key
If you do care then make an SMODS.ObjectType and pass the set to SMODS.add_card

[manic rune]

do i need to use it to rotate the text? since vert only seems to rotate to one side

[red flower]

no idea lol

[manic rune]

❤️ why isnt there something opposite to vert

mannnnn

...WHAT DO YOU MEAN

😭

[hushed field]

You're invading my brand I don't appreciate it, Victin ❤️

[manic rune]

weird

are "w" and "h" somehow linked to rotation?

[glad osprey]

why am i not in debt

[manic rune]

i cant believe you are treating yourself that well

[modern kindle]

Good schmorning chat

[manic rune]

hello dilly

[modern kindle]

Hello

[hushed field]

What's up, Dill

[manic rune]

question, isnt r for rounding a corner?

[hushed field]

No it puts your car in reverse for rounding a corner just drive a bit slower

[manic rune]

you know the drill

[glad osprey]

no but i know the hammer

[zealous glen]

What do you mean?

[manic rune]

i genuinely question how this can rotate text

[zealous glen]

I think it rotates from the center no?

[hushed field]

Hmmmmm

[zealous glen]

If you change height and width

The center also changes

[manic rune]

yeah, but how is that related to rotation

[hushed field]

.T.r. and r are different, on a more serious note, if I recall correctly

[zealous glen]

Hello dilly!

[zealous glen]

As I said above

I think it rotates from the center no?

[manic rune]

:3 i have no clue what that means

[zealous glen]

Put your finger on the corner of a piece of paper to hold it down then rotate it. Now do the same with your finger in the center

[hushed field]

Which mod do I work on tonight? I was gonna go to the cinema but my chronically ill body refuses to let me leave, so I'm here with you Jimbo's. I guess I could see what I can set up for Glue

[manic rune]

oh

ohhh, i think i know what you mean
-# probably

[zealous glen]

Glue?

[placid star]

doesa nyone know the syntax for a card destroying itself?
i have destroy_joker = G.jokers.cards[self]:start_dissolve() inside my return but its not liking it

[manic rune]

are "w" and "h" for determining where the center is for rotating?

🤔

[zealous glen]

why are you allocating it to a variable

[zealous glen]

They’re for the size

[manic rune]

asamsalas HMMMMM

[zealous glen]

But might be reused to find the center of rotation

[placid star]

so dont allocate it to a var and it should work?

[zealous glen]

That won’t make it work, but it will avoid allocating it to a variable

Where is the code

[modern kindle]

Hi vic!

[modern kindle]

Hi ice!
Sorry I had typed in here and immediately done other things

[hushed field]

#1353866504743161886 it's the thingy that's set up to increase shop size and fix joker spawn rates for when you play with so many mods that there are 400 consumables with a weight of 4

[manic rune]

alright so uh, i will just get straight to the point with this one since i dont even know where to go with this

how do i change the rotation of label_node? im guessing i need to change .T.r, and id have known how to if it were to be through a func, but i havent tried directly changing a node through a var before

[zealous glen]

I was thinking about adding more consumeables and if that would be an issue

[hushed field]

It is, haha. The more different types you add, the lower the spawn rate for jokers become, haha

[zealous glen]

I meant like for my mod specifically

[manic rune]

victin

are you slowly stealing ice's identity or smt

[hushed field]

Yeah?

[manic rune]

😭

HUH????

[zealous glen]

I had the idea of making the spells we discussed into Consumables

[manic rune]

did yall's brain signals sync with each other 😭

[zealous glen]

That can’t show up naturally

But other effects can randomly create one

Maybe

[zealous glen]

Are you asking if I’m stealing my identity?

[hushed field]

You're confusing me, Bepis

[manic rune]

But I don't like the sound of that lmfao

[zealous glen]

Dillepis?

[modern kindle]

Perchance...

[red flower]

in the config it's rounding but in the transform it's rotation

[zealous glen]

DepisFever the Bepster

hey guys whats going on

V’

[modern kindle]

Depis the depster

[zealous glen]

N’ answered your question Bepis

[glad osprey]

ah ty n

[zealous glen]

Now you Bepis can do what Bepis (you) wanted to do

[red flower]

i dont think you can change it before the object is created

[manic rune]

will this work

[glad osprey]

why are you stealing my name

[reef belfry]

Im starting to contemplate if i should actually use this

[manic rune]

false

[reef belfry]

Why are we doing identity theft

[glad osprey]

cause its funny

[hushed field]

what would it do? I do like the art quite a bit

[zealous glen]

Balatro: Indetity Theft Arc

[manic rune]

[reef belfry]

I do not know

I just made it on a whim out of boredom

[red flower]

im not awake enough for this

[manic rune]

you know what

let me double task rq

crap

[hushed field]

anyway i'm changing my name back because I'm getting confused haha. I think I'm gonna set up Glue to allow for making sure buffoon packs always spawn in the shop, as an option

[manic rune]

N'_The_Dillster @N'atro/DilousSpring

[hushed field]

and make every rarity rate a config option

[manic rune]

this was the joke i wanted to go with

[zealous glen]

In the first shop?

[modern kindle]

Wait a fuckin second

[manic rune]

but it seems clyde wont let me change my nickname to that, sad

[red flower]

i want to finish 48 jokers by today

[hushed field]

no, every shop. In the first shop it's already a thing, iirc

[zealous glen]

Dang why are you so powerful

[zealous glen]

Yeah and I’m inquiring about making it configurable

Like some mods make the first pack spawn something from their mod

[red flower]

i probably wont it takes me an entire day to write descriptions

[glad osprey]

bump pls i need help 🙏

[hushed field]

But I want to make it so there are shop slots that you can force specific genres of content to spawn in. Like saying 'the first joker slot should always be a joker' and 'the fifth should always be a tarot card'

[manic rune]

well, anyways

this is how i can rotate an UI, right?

[hushed field]

my suspicion is that decks don't support negative money as a set up option

[modern kindle]

Development resumes today

[zealous glen]

Sounds good though should them be indexed or should they be separate CardAreas

[glad osprey]

they do

[red flower]

yes but i think it's in radians

[glad osprey]

also the interest config doesnt work

[quartz ravine]

this is so odd, some of my planet cards can be created via a blue seal. But...one of my hands routinely crashes the game

I made a lovely mod to print out whats happening in create_card which proc's from a blue seal.

For one that works, I will see this (from my toml mod)

in create card, attempting to create card with forced key of c_Fox_Meteor

But for ones that crash the game, it's got a valu of forced key of nil

[manic rune]

bepis my beloved

[zealous glen]

Either that or VT

Idk the difference

[manic rune]

ahhh that does explain the "r", thanks!

wait wtf

[red flower]

also it might be overwritten by the major's alignment

[modern kindle]

Dilly your pfp looks awesome today, nice change

[manic rune]

i had to check ur profile to make sure ur Victin 😭

[quartz ravine]

Oh Hi @manic rune !

[zealous glen]

The R is rotation

[manic rune]

hello everyone!

[manic rune]

thank you :3

[hushed field]

my goal is for Glue to be an invisible mod unless you want it not to be, so that it's inclusion in Dimserene's for example is really just a QoL thing, rather than a mod to make yours compatible with. I did consider the idea of it adding more sections to the shop

[manic rune]

ack

[hushed field]

hmm, let me check again, then

[zealous glen]

It’s mostly because that might conflict with other mods trying to do the same

[formal parrot]

Ey chat

[manic rune]

if its constantly run in func = ... then will that still be a problem?

[red flower]

no idea

[zealous glen]

Hello Teto

[manic rune]

welp, here goes nothing then

[formal parrot]

Hey jimbo

[manic rune]

god why am i delving so deep into this hole

[hushed field]

The goal would be to not have the base game slots be the ones that get forced, unless you really want it to, so that mod conflicts are a user-error 😛

[manic rune]

I DONT EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT UI 🥀

[zealous glen]

— Alice

[glad osprey]

no one does

[quartz ravine]

What is Bepis

[manic rune]

so true

[modern kindle]

That's why you just throw someone else ur code who is good at ui

[zealous glen]

What do you mean?

[red flower]

[manic rune]

N' would immediately run if they see me

HEY

[formal parrot]

Uhm

[formal parrot]

Dan da dan dan da dan dan da dan dan da dan

[modern kindle]

Edited 😇

[hushed field]

oh, is it not because you're only setting loc_vars, which doesn't get read in at a time before config, so it never actually sets the config? I'm not seeing how this would work, per se, because my understanding is that loc_vars wouldn't ever get accessed in the set up period where config is important

[quartz ravine]

puts down my controller, does a 360 and walks away

[glad osprey]

checking the config in apply shows its there

[formal parrot]

Hot take mouse and keys are way better than controller

I kinda like this one, I think I'll keep it

oh, I had no clue it even worked like that. I guess I'll keep that in mind 🤔

[manic rune]

wha

[zealous glen]

I like the effect SIS

[formal parrot]

Imo if you’re gonna make a joker make it good and worth picking

[glad osprey]

also this is how the regular sleeves work so idfk whats happening

[zealous glen]

That’s what I do 😭

[tepid crow]

You know that if you make a custom apply you have to do everything yourself right?

[manic rune]

OH MY GOD IT WORKS

[zealous glen]

I think Jokers should have an use; but they don’t need to be consistent

[modern kindle]

Every joker can't just be good i think

[manic rune]

I CANT BELIEVE IT ACTUALLY WORKS AND DIDNT SEND MY CREDIT CARD INFO HERE

Yeah i love the art but seriously you always have your discards and hands equal or 1 difference

[zealous glen]

Not always

[unborn bay]

The humble Water:

[zealous glen]

Also I want it to work with Wrapped Candy

[modern kindle]

I have a joker that let's you carry over your unused hands and discards, so that would be an interesting use for red hand in synergy alone

[zealous glen]

But I forget if I actually made the timing work lol

[formal parrot]

Some jokers are made to pass the low blinds
Some are temporary power
Some are good but need setups
And some are just legendary

[zealous glen]

I also have one that lets you carry over unused hands

[quartz ravine]

Ah-HA! The key must exactly match between your custom hand and planet card in order for a blue seal to work. That is what I was missing, @modern kindle

[modern kindle]

Nobody ever has original ideas

[tepid crow]

You can just call the normal class apply method in your apply method, check the example docs

[glad osprey]

OH THATS WHAT THATS FOR

[formal parrot]

If the red hand gave you discards and hands together so if you ran out of discards you can use your hands to discard that will be so much better

[glad osprey]

god im dense

[modern kindle]

Ah yea i thought I said that, apologies
But either way we got you working 😎

[formal parrot]

This is good

Good joker

I like it

[zealous glen]

It was inspired by a TWEWJ Joker that allows carrying over discards

[modern kindle]

What is twewj

[formal parrot]

I swear victin is sometimes stewpid

[quartz ravine]

No worries! You probably did, my brain is just stuffed full of 90's cartoon theme songs and candy wrappers

[hushed field]

me thinking i have an original joker idea 😄 me seeing everybody else basically make alien abduction jokers 😦

[modern kindle]

As long as some are kitkats you are free in my books

[zealous glen]

If Golden Joker gave me $20 it would also be better ;P

[modern kindle]

If Mr bones insta won the deck for me it'd be better

[formal parrot]

Golden joker is common

He’s supposed to be ass

[modern kindle]

Yea i made this cool dlc to my mod called balatro goes kino, you should check it out

[quartz ravine]

I think Mr Bones should have a fee to carry it. For instance, it should halve the interest you earn

[formal parrot]

Jimbo i’m gonna sue you for making the obelisk a thing

[zealous glen]

me and @heady siren 😭

[zealous glen]

This is also common

[formal parrot]

Who in their right mind thought obelisk and campfire are good jokers

[zealous glen]

The World Ends with Jimbo

[formal parrot]

The art looks like a legendary/rare

[hushed field]

Oh, this is also a good reminder for me to put the stuff you pointed out yesterday on my QA list, and see if it's causing problems and how to fix those

[zealous glen]

Campfire is good

[manic rune]

i will argue that campfire is not as bad as you think

[zealous glen]

Worse after the nerf

[manic rune]

you can buy consumables and sell them

[modern kindle]

I've made like 2 other savior jokers

I have a golden fiddle which takes money to save you with a chance to destroy itself
And a sold soul which will destroy all jokers and replace them with 2 rares

[zealous glen]

I didn’t make the Obelisk, I found it on the moon

[formal parrot]

Yeah if you have planet merchant or tarot

[zealous glen]

But it’s not

[zealous glen]

why 😭

[modern kindle]

Victin is awesome

[formal parrot]

I’d say the only good use for campfire is if you have perkeo

[tall wharf]

i wish i know how to code

tbh

[unborn bay]

true ,,,,

[modern kindle]

Aiko I'm about to get rid of you permanently

[formal parrot]

Says larry before i stole his balls

[zealous glen]

Wish granted (retroactively)

[formal parrot]

JIMBO STOP GASLIGHTING ME

I take ragebaits easily

[modern kindle]

Aiko stays doing crazy shit then says they don't know nothin

Hate them mfs

[hushed field]

i really like campfire as a concept, though I don't love jokers that are optimally used by being in the shop for a good while, haha

[zealous glen]

Huh? :?

[formal parrot]

So we all agree obelisk is bad

[quartz ravine]

I can tell you exactly how I learned to code. Got hired for a job that I thought was going to be just scripting. Turns out everyone else knew c#

I then spent an entire month listening to chillHop essentials on repeat, slamming my head against the wall.

At the end of the month, my skull was shaped differently but I could not code

[modern kindle]

It's weird
I like setup but then long setup kinda sucks

[zealous glen]

I don’t use it so I can’t say if it’s good or bad

[formal parrot]

If you don’t use it that means its bad

Case closed

[zealous glen]

Inspiring

[modern kindle]

My secret to coding is screaming at the screen for about 9 hours until I stop crashing
Only to notice the code then doesn't execute at all
Then scream for 5 more hours
Then it works

[formal parrot]

Hit the road jack is also a bad one unless you build your deck around jacks

[red flower]

anyway time to start coding

[zealous glen]

At the Scream? From the movie?

[quartz ravine]

With my new skull shape, I now do not care

[modern kindle]

The hit scream scream who screaming the scream

[quartz ravine]

DAE just look at their commits wondering how it now works?

[tall wharf]

im trying to add double click

[modern kindle]

See I do this silly thing where I kinda push fuckin everything
There are times I'll push just a couple of line changes and I feel like I could just wait until i have alot to push

[formal parrot]

When i code doesn’t work i copy it to chat gpt and suddenly i have 2 more errors now

[hushed field]

i vibe code by just telling N what I wanna do and then he links me code I can steal

[formal parrot]

GOTTA LOVE AI

[unborn bay]

i have this really bad habit of making code, thinking it'll work first try, then getting stopped by a single syntax error and throwing myself to a nearby trash can i fucking hate programming

[manic rune]

RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT WORKS

[zealous glen]

Why is everyone talking about vibe coding now

[tall wharf]

RAAAAHHHH

[manic rune]

ROTATING TEXT WORKS

GHHHH

[tall wharf]

BEPIS

[modern kindle]

I just go to bepis and say 'this isn't working' and then bepis shoots me 8 times in the chest and then it works

[tall wharf]

ROTATE

PI

[zealous glen]

That’s how 10X engineers work

[wintry solar]

Nice! Can they fill both ways too?

[red flower]

it doesnt even do the funny falling animation? 0/10

[formal parrot]

Does the break bar fill up?

[hushed field]

I'm so excited to steal Bepis' progress bar code and put it on Lightning McQueen, you don't know how bad I need it, man

[modern kindle]

Im also going to steal it

He made a pr so you can see it on smods requests

[zealous glen]

I’m also going to steal (your savings)

[quartz ravine]

I am a 0.1 X engineer

[modern kindle]

Your lungs, hand em over

[unborn bay]

i can't believe jimbo would do this ,,,,,

[formal parrot]

I’m also going to steal your balls

[zealous glen]

I am a -1X engineer

[formal parrot]

He would do it actually and then be happy about it

[hushed field]

me when you play your most played hand and I'm the Ox

[zealous glen]

The Ox engineer

[manic rune]

...oh yeah, gotta account for when you want to fill from bottom to top instead

shouldnt be THAT hard now that i figured how to rotate uis easily though, one sec

[manic rune]

-# duh

[formal parrot]

I’m engineering my limits

[hushed field]

I am considering setting Love2D up and just messing around with UI so I can get a better understanding of the engine's UI capabilities. I have some ideas that aren't great to implement in balatro's current ui system, after all

[formal parrot]

Make a % tho

[hushed field]

(like doing anything that'd require a sprite mask)

[quartz ravine]

I had one coworker who took two months of vacation, then came back and said he was getting caught up on training and watching meeting recordings.

Then after doing that for two weeks he announced he was quitting

[wintry solar]

I would have thought bottom to top would be the default 🤣

[formal parrot]

Does the cards become disabled when the break bar fills up ? Or what

[wintry solar]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a progress bar fill from top to bottom

[manic rune]

well, ui seems to like going from top to bottom instead :p

[zealous glen]

The break bar measures how broken your arm is

At 100% your arm is ground to a fine dust and you lose 1 level

[glad osprey]

how do i tell balatro to render this deck at the correct width even tho its wider

[formal parrot]

I can’t tell if you’re messing with me or being serious

[zealous glen]

Try Superliminal maybe

[red flower]

the break bar illustrates how long until you can take a break from balatro

[hushed field]

If I understood UI a bit better I could also probably make my indicators a more cohesive implementation, and maybe make that a pr for other people to use

[modern kindle]

At some point I want to use your quest stuff but it's so daunting

[quartz ravine]

argh, where the heck do these values come from? The key of my hand in G.GAME.hands is some odd value I can't find in my code anywhere

[zealous glen]

When the break bar is full, you break your arm

[formal parrot]

Does it work if you hand is lv1

[tall wharf]

😭

[red flower]

isnt it modprefix_key

[tall wharf]

functionality later 😭

[zealous glen]

No

[tall wharf]

design first

functionality later

[formal parrot]

It should be included in the description then

[zealous glen]

I wonder if you can do double clicks using events

[hushed field]

The quest stuff is hard to set up in a way that's friendly for people that didn't write it, I'm finding, haha. It also makes files huge, currently, but maybe I should allow you to move quest checking out of a joker's functionality. The legendary jokers in Kino are huge files because of them, haha

[zealous glen]

It is

“Do A to do B”

If you can’t do A you don’t get B

[modern kindle]

Id like to link quests to achievements and rewards ideally
Because i think unlocking stuff in game due to them would be cool, and then also granting a reward

[formal parrot]

copies your balls

[zealous glen]

https://tenor.com/view/jo-jos-bizzare-adventure-jojolion-josuke-manga-anime-gif-21948312

[hushed field]

Oh, I do think that's basically already the current unlock and achievement system, no?

[modern kindle]

You have a large ball obsession this is like the 4th ball mentukn I've seen so far today

[unborn bay]

what does mentukn mean

[modern kindle]

I don't think for achievements I've gotten a direct run reward for it

[formal parrot]

Uhh i have a collection

[zealous glen]

Men tuk @red flower

[hushed field]

Just less procedural, but the boon of the quest system in Kino really is just the info_queue and procedural generation of quests (though I'm making that less procedural to make myself less confused when I'm trying to read the code)

[zealous glen]

I’m not making my Jokers PSCT-compliant

I’m gonna use a better system

[red flower]

everyone should

[zealous glen]

RMMCT: read my mind card text

It’s an improvement over RTCETCCT

[red flower]

VBCT vibes based card text

[zealous glen]

Best kind of card text

[modern kindle]

Yea ideally i want to set up quests that lead to rewards directly
Ie beginner quests can give money, temp mult, etc
Later on a reward spawns a joker, redeems a voucher, etc

[zealous glen]

That’s how Marvel Snap works

[hushed field]

Legends of Runeterra's 'I CANNOT BE STOPPED' was a nightmare in that community when it was revealed, haha

[zealous glen]

Skill issue

[hushed field]

Hmm, I think it could work for that. I'm considering also adding a separate UI in the vein of DebugPlus, that shows all currently relevant quests (and in this case the jokers that are creating them, but it'd also allow me to make a deck that gives you quests). In that case, quests could be more generally useful

[unborn bay]

i just realized i need to learn how to make ui code to display jokers for a joker

just seeing the samples for it is giving me average minified json file vibes

[quartz ravine]

Can't you add a ref to any other Joker using [info_queue]

[unborn bay]

no it's more like a list of jokers

[modern kindle]

It'd be nice yea, even having a quest button which shows all active quests would be nice to have
I just want a way to make things more useful

It could even be neat to increase the spawn chances of a card by temporarily changing its rarity for x rounds until it returns to its original

[unborn bay]

like you can actually see the jokers that could be picked

the main idea is that the joker picks an effect from jokers you have already sold

[hushed field]

I don't think that'd be too difficult, no? It'd be an info_queue set up like the way the example hands do it, and you just pass the joker keys along to the fake cards thing

[hushed field]

Ah, well changing a joker's actual rarity (though in my case it keeps it's displayed rarity) is set up very badly but functional in Kino 😛

[red flower]

you can steal from my press d to see related thing if you want

[manic rune]

well crap, of course this doesnt work

it doesnt rotate its children with itself

hm

[red flower]

is that loss

[hushed field]

feel free to let me know what ideas you have for quest mechanics. I'm not saying I'll implement them, but I'd want to be able to set up in a way where you setting up a separate quest system for your mod would be able to just work together, without bumping into each other

[manic rune]

i thought about just rotating the bar by 180 degrees, so that it fills from the other side

but it doesnt seem plausible now

[modern kindle]

At this point why don't i have you just implement a nice quest system for me this way lucky number slevin is equalled out 😛
(This is totally a fair trade)

[modern kindle]

I can do that yea, I'll let you know when I ponder on it for a bit

[manic rune]

so the question remains: how do i move the red bar

[hushed field]

well not to harsh the vibes but that code broke so badly I needed to rewrite it 😛 (SMODS added a context that made it into an infinite loop)

[manic rune]

if rotation isnt the answer

.

hm

[hushed field]

wait, is rotating it not how you set up the upwards bar?

[modern kindle]

i tremble at smods updates that may break what i had working perfectly previous versions

however, never forget when blind calc released and made me think my shit was horribly broke until i saw it broke vanilla stuff too 🙃

[manic rune]

nope, swapped w and h

:p

i didnt figure out how to rotate ui so that was the easiest way

[manic rune]

wait wait wait

[hushed field]

oooh, haha. Does love2d work like unity in which you can just sneakily invert things by setting negative widths and heights?

[manic rune]

OH I THINK I FIGURED OUT

change align "cl" to "cr", then rotate by 180 degrees

PLEASE WORK
i once again realized the ui rotates from the center of itself, that doesnt matter, what am i even thinking

[tall wharf]

:3

wtf am i doing :3

[manic rune]

iii

nggg

if only there was a way to change the center of the ui's rotation

[hushed field]

I do wonder what the best way to go about making systems that others can adapt that don't cause conflict, without making it an SMODS pr. Because that quest system is probably something that someone else besides us would maybe use some day, and it'd be a shame to have them reinvent the wheel. But I don't love the idea of just adding requisite mods

[red flower]

i think writing 50 of these should be considered torture on the level of a war crime

[modern kindle]

you could do what myst let me do with blind expander and just let them include it in their mod with the requirement of having it listed as a provision

[wintry solar]

I’ve not looked at the code but I’m assuming it’s a node aligned to the top they grows in height so simulate filling?

[modern kindle]

just make it extra separate fileset to include

[manic rune]

mhm

oh wait

can i just

[hushed field]

I mean that works, but I'm not sure if it'd create conflicts if we both make changes to implementations, for example

[manic rune]

make it negative height instead

[wintry solar]

Just align it to the bottom instead, no?

[modern kindle]

simply explode anyone who does similar changes

realistically if someone is adding something they should be familiar with its implementation so i wouldnt worry about it on your end

[zealous glen]

I think Paperback might have or want to have a quest system

[modern kindle]

they can just change their stuff to work with your provision

[manic rune]

i was thinking that, but i was afraid it would go like this

BUT i think i can just make the height become negative for the one below instead

so it grows to the opposite direction

god im dumb, i shouldve thought of that

[wintry solar]

I’m pretty sure the alignment is all you need

[manic rune]

oh

[wintry solar]

It should grow the opposite way because it’s contained within the outer node

[manic rune]

icic, thats convenient then, i overthought it too much i suppose

[zealous glen]

Thinking about adding spells and wondering if this would be better than holding ALT to see a bunch of text boxes

[hushed field]

yeah, but if two mods implement basically the same features, I'm suspecting that that might lead into some accidental issues.

but I'm not sure about the details of that, because the only times I've used code directly from other mods, it got turned into an inevitable SMODS pr that I didn't have to worry about anymore, haha

[modern kindle]

simply create a widely used smods dlc

[hushed field]

taliceman

[manic rune]

...why did i even overthink it

[wintry solar]

UI is fun

[red flower]

oh this reminds me that the related UI also has the bug where it sometimes adds the cards to used_jokers lol ill fix that rn

[quartz ravine]

ahhh, now I am getting closer to the root of the problem

Somehow, my consumable and my hand type didn't link to each other

[red flower]

isnt it just writing the hand type in the config

[hushed field]

hmm, I should look into how the game handles the info from the config. I'm not sure if I can procedurally generate config options based on the mods you're currently running

[quartz ravine]

ahhhh ha!!!

my config is weird for one of my planet cards

[formal parrot]

Beautiful

[quartz ravine]

Damned extra curly braces making me type them and waste two hours chasing them down

[manic rune]

welp, i think this should be all

[red flower]

bocchi the card

needs pink suit

[wintry solar]

Text under the bar is possible?

Also how is it attached to the card?

[placid star]

how would i get a joker to dissolve AFTER a hand is fully scored, currently my joker just dies when jokers start to score and it looks like no joker is triggering the +mult they give

[quartz ravine]

yessssss. All of my planet cards work now!

[hushed field]

Eremel, does a mod's config mainly get handled in SMODS loader.lua? I'm trying to figure out how it works to see what the limits are, but config's a very common term that makes the search all function a bit less useful in tracking down where mod configs are all handled, haha

[wintry solar]

SMODS.load_mod_config

[manic rune]

ah, you gotta manually do that since all it does is providing a tool to easily add progress bars, like create_slider :3

[faint yacht]

Could "mark" the Joker... and check in context.after for said mark.

[hushed field]

oh damn I wasn't expecting that to be in ui. That's set up a lot more concise than I was expecting it to be

[manic rune]

mhm

[wintry solar]

Sounds good, just had a quick look over the code and it can definitely be condensed down to have a lot less repeated code, but seems to have everything it should do

[manic rune]

this is how i did so in my case

the horrendous indentation can be blamed on me writing that in a comment block ❤️

[placid star]

would that look smth like this?

[manic rune]

wait

what are you trying to do there

[placid star]

kill a joker AFTER a hand fully scores

[formal parrot]

Goku ?

[manic rune]

mm

thats not how you do it then

in context.joker_main, mark the joker, like

[quartz ravine]

Street Fighter reference!

[manic rune]

(the joker you want to target).ability["mark"] = true

then in context.after, go through G.jokers.cards and check for what joker has that mark

also, i think you should put that start_dissolve() stuff in an event

since from my experience, sometimes it doesnt actually destroy the joker for some reason when its outside an event

[placid star]

so the marking would look smth like G.jokers.cards[-self-].ability.remove = true?

[wintry solar]

What’s the condition for marking a card?

[manic rune]

doesnt necessarily need to be "remove", but yes

and [-self-] should always be a number if you are choosing a specific order

[placid star]

after the joker has scored once

[placid star]

yeah my code already searches for what index the card is at so my actual code looks something like:
G.jokers.cards[D].ability.remove = true

[wintry solar]

So the first time this joker scores it destroys a different one?

Or every time this joker scores?

[placid star]

this joker has a chance to be added every round from another joker, then after this joker scores once, it dies

if that makes sense

[wintry solar]

It removes itself, correct?

[placid star]

yeah

[wintry solar]

Get rid of all the marking stuff and just put card:start_dissolve() inside the context.after check

[placid star]

if i do that this happens:

so it does function as its supposed to but it doesnt look like how i want it to

as it looks like mult is scoring from nothing

[wintry solar]

Oh put it in an event

[faint yacht]

...can pixel_size not exceed the default values if I have something using an atlas with larger height? (i.e. 104 pixels vs 95)

[manic rune]

why are there 5 of him 😭

[placid star]

i am very new, what would that look like?

[manic rune]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager

here, check this out

[placid star]

oh you mean why are there 5 young suguru getos? he generates 1 of 3 cursed spirits from his collection, i wanted to make sure i get atleast 1 rainbow dragon

[manic rune]

but it should look something like this

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    trigger = 'before',
    delay = 0.1,
    func = function()
        card:start_dissolve()
        return true
    end
}))

change trigger and delay until you get the timing you like

[placid star]

okay tysm!

[lucid owl]

is there a way to manipulate pools easily? i'm trying to make a voucher that requires blank and antimatter, and when purchased, brings the blank and antimatter vouchers back into the pool of purchasable vouchers

[placid star]

would that go in the context.joker_main ?

[manic rune]

nope

context.after

[placid star]

ahh okay ty

[red flower]

got tired of writing descriptions

[placid star]

@manic rune okay so with that event, the joker will start to dissolve forever

[manic rune]

oh yeah

you need to return true in it

there, forgot to mention

:3

if u dont return true then it will keep running

[placid star]

ahh, so will events always keep running until they return true?

[zealous glen]

From Street Fighter?

[manic rune]

yes

[placid star]

now it works tysm!!

[manic rune]

np :p

[faint yacht]

Do I have to modify the drawing functions in order for the enhancement to be drawn properly instead of squished?

SMODS.Enhancement{
  ...
  pixel_size = { w = 71, h = 104 },
  ...
}

[quartz ravine]

Yep!

[quartz ravine]

Always been one of my favorite moves in gaming! When I ran into enemies who could perform it in Breath of Fire, I was shocked as a kid

The idea is this

My mod is animal themed, so I have a Bear named A kuma

He gives more mult per played tens in your hand. So then I added a new hand, if you play 4 or more 10's, it will be this new hand 'Shun Goku Satsu'

And then....I added a hidden joker who unlocks when you play a five of a kind 10's, Shin A Kuma, who retriggers your played 10's based on how many levels you've put into the unlocked hand

[long sun]

hiya, i have a deck ability requiring cards to be drawn face-down — how would i do that?

[quartz ravine]

  for i = 1, #G.hand.cards do
            if G.hand.cards[i].facing == 'front' then
                G.hand.cards[i]:flip()
            end
        end

[long sun]

thanks :D

oh this needs to happen when a card is drawn

what's the context for drawing a card?

[zealous glen]

you can use the SMODS-added Blind context that makes cards be drawn face-down

[zealous glen]

I don't think this works

[long sun]

but this is a deck

[zealous glen]

I repeat

You can use the SMODS-added Blind context

[long sun]

i mean, this would work if my deck's ability happened mid-blind

[zealous glen]

context.stay_flipped

[long sun]

right

oh i see

and return true if i want it to be flipped

gotcha

[zealous glen]

It wouldn't work because it would flip the cards after they're drawn

Which means you could look at your deck

to see what you drew

[long sun]

i repeat, mid-blind :)

[zealous glen]

And I repeat you could look at your deck to see what you drew

[long sun]

and i repeat, yeah :)

that's what i said :)

or meant, anyway

grand, i'll give that a go

thanks ^^

[zealous glen]

The game usually prevents you from knowing what you drew

By hiding the numbers

But only if cards are flipped while they're drawn AFAIK

[lucid owl]

is there a way to manipulate pools easily? i'm trying to make a voucher that requires blank and antimatter, and when purchased, brings the blank and antimatter vouchers back into the pool of purchasable vouchers

[long sun]

this didn't work — the cards were drawn face-up, then the game crashed

[placid star]

okay so my game crashes when i use this consumable with a legendary in my hand, can anyone see any errors?

[zealous glen]

you can use SMODS.add_card

[placid star]

would that fix the error?

[ruby idol]

attempting to make a consumable only useable when youve sold a joker during the run and have an open joker slot: does anyone know why this code doesn't work for that? it seems to always be returning false

[red flower]

i cant find jokers_sold

[chrome widget]

What's the most effective way to add joker support to make a playing card be considered multiple ranks simultaneously?

I'm not really certain how to effectively address comparisons to the get_id() function in vanilla that are hardcoded

[wintry solar]

There isn’t

[chrome widget]

I would have to make an updated function and patch every single vanilla joker I'm guessing

Yikes

[ruby idol]

that's weird, it might be something introduced by the mod i adapted this code from

[red flower]

probably

[chrome widget]

But what if... I were to make a PR for SMODS and disguise it as my own cooking?

[wintry solar]

If you can figure out calculating straights go for it

[chrome widget]

Still not in love with how extensive that is, yeah
