[stark geode]

how should i reset it at the start of a round?

[sturdy monolith]

use ability.name instead of .key

[spare furnace]

lsdfkghksdf my mod is jazzy, and your mod is azzy so your jokers are j_azzy. this is mildly funny

[runic pecan]

I'm once again asking for the method to destroy unscoring cards.
I recall there's a smods optional feature but I forgot what's its name.

[graceful magnet]

there we go

[terse marsh]

im doing something wrong here could i get some help

isnt upgrading the card or adding the chips

[graceful magnet]

replace all self with card inside the calculate (so don't replace the function(self one)

[terse marsh]

wonderful thank you

[spare furnace]

Figured it out, modeled it after what the Lobotomy Corporation mod does for the pebble enhancement. i put this in my main.lua (EDIT: this runs on EVERY hand draw, not just inital hand draw, i need to tweak this)

[terse marsh]

sry to ping but its still not working and im not sure why

is it maybe cuz im checking the suit wrong or is that fine

it doesnt run the upgrade or anything and doesnt even add to the card

just inactive

[next timber]

is there a way to hard set the sell price of a joker? i want a joker to cost money to sell but by default it floors at 1
i know patching is an option but if theres an easier way that would be neat

[bold sleet]

I can probably further adapt it for my needs.

ty

[spare furnace]

That's why i posted my solution, i wanted to make sure other people could learn

😉

[dapper sun]

how do i make a joker never appear in the shop?

[zealous glen]

hooking

[zealous glen]

in_pool

[dapper sun]

i tried that but it still appeared

[glad osprey]

why are there jokers

[runic pecan]

What is the return key for adding retriggers when context.repetition?
I thought it was retriggers but it doesn't work now.
And I don't remember why I thought it was retriggers, either.

[zealous glen]

how

[zealous glen]

Fallback

[dapper sun]

idk my gf was streaming their gameplay of my wip mod and got a joker that wasn't supposed to appear in shop

[daring fern]

repetitions

[zinc forum]

Weird question, vanilla Balatro doesn't have anything for calculating Poker Hands when you play 8 cards at once right?

[zealous glen]

I asked how you did it

Not how it was obtained

[dapper sun]

in_pool = function(self, args) return false end

[runic pecan]

It crashed.

[spare furnace]

Wait this runs on EVERY card draw not just the inital draw of each hand, i need to tweak it a bit more

[zealous glen]

That should stop the Joker from appearing. Either there was something else going on or it's a SMODS bug

[dapper sun]

i'll do some more testing :p

[limber blaze]

was she playing any modded deck or anything or was it just a normal deck and it showed up normally in the shop

[dapper sun]

okay i checked and

she was playing on balanced sleeve

that maaay have been it 😭

[limber blaze]

yeah doe/balanced sleeve doesnt check for inpool

you can do no_doe = true on the cards center though

[daring fern]

Did it hard crash?

[dapper sun]

ty

[opal holly]

My anatomy is adios

[next timber]

if my mod isnt known for anything else it WILL be known for cool soul sprite custom animations

i have 2 now

i plan on continuing the trend

managed to get my laptop to actually record some footage for once

its choppy but its better than nothing

[spare furnace]

fixed

[worldly thicket]

Is that missingno?

[long sun]

hi, quick question — what's the syntax for getting the key of a consumable card?

would it be card.ability.key?

[limber blaze]

card.config.center.key works

[next timber]

indeed

[long sun]

awesome, thanks :D

[worldly thicket]

Is it a retexture or is it a custom joker?

[next timber]

custom joker

[worldly thicket]

What does it do?

[runic pecan]

Under if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.hand then, is it possible that context.poker_hands is nil?
Asking this because I was under impression that context.poker_hands is always there during eval_play.

[next timber]

Bad EGG is the one on the right in the video, right now im not 100% sure on the specifics but its basically a near useless joker that costs money to get rid of

[worldly thicket]

That must've been a pain to code, but that might just be because I'm new to modding so seeing that one joker does all of that is interesting

[edgy mountain]

im trying to have an enhancement add permamult and chips to other scored cards

how can i make sure it happens before theyre scored?

[unkempt thicket]

Try changing trigger to before

[next timber]

the calculate function is only about 30 lines long actually, though i haven't actually made it turn into bad egg yet, right now it destroys all of the copies because thats its old effect before i decided on Bad Egg

thatll probably reduce the lines of code if anything

[stiff locust]

what are the base weights of common/uncommon/rare jokers

[edgy mountain]

ill give it a try

[edgy mountain]

nope, they still dont count during scoring

[unkempt thicket]

Try context.main_scoring instead of context.before

[edgy mountain]

pretty sure that doesnt work either

ill check

[runic pecan]

bump

[runic pecan]

bump

[edgy mountain]

happens even later

isnt before the earliest context thats applicable here?

[zealous glen]

not "joker my soul"?

[next timber]

how would i make a joker transform into a different joker? i need missingno to become Bad EGG if its chance fails

[worldly thicket]

from what I've seen, couldn't you remove the missingno and just create a Bad EGG? (Idk the specific code sorry)

[runic pecan]

It has to be spelled "JDON", them's the rule.

[zealous glen]

set_ability

[zealous glen]

It has to have "Joker" them's the rule

[next timber]

isnt there like 1 non-legendary that breaks that rule or smth

[zealous glen]

No

[worldly thicket]

I've been meaning to make a mod, but idk what I'd add, any ideas?

[limber blaze]

the closest thing is to do list which has it as an acronym instead of an actual word but it doesnt really count since joker is still in it

[next timber]

ok this works but it transforms instantly, how would i have it do the flip animation that death does? im looking at the code for death and i cant see what does it

[zealous glen]

events

[long sun]

getting this error:

in the line:
if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.destroying_card.ability.name == 'Wild Card' and pseudorandom('badhairday') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then

[next timber]

well yes that part was obvious

[long sun]

ideas? :P

[frosty dock]

refer to context.destroy_card, not context.destroying_card

[rapid stag]

is there a context that is called when the joker is added to the joker area?

[frosty dock]

context.destroying_card only exists some of the time [when the card checked is a card that was played and scored] due to being used by vanilla

[long sun]

ahhhh icicic

[frosty dock]

context.card_added

[formal parrot]

Aura

[long sun]

should i change that everywhere, then?

[zealous glen]

check out terraforming in the dev branch of my mod

[frosty dock]

you can use context.destroying_card where only destroying played and scored cards, but context.destroy_card always works

[long sun]

great. thanks! :D

[frosty dock]

i see no aura in this chat

[formal parrot]

Now you see

🔥

[long sun]

perfecto, it worked! thanks ^^

[primal robin]

[formal parrot]

Bro you’re john aure(a)himself

[worldly thicket]

Is there a way to make consumables:

A. Give money
B. Destroy cards in the deck

[opal holly]

where's the jdon, you missed it

[formal parrot]

Uhhh yes but they already do that

[zealous glen]

inside Jimbo's heart

he needs to have it surgically removed

[pseudo cape]

does anyone know the best way to do a texture replacement on the newest version of steamodded? Been trying to replace the 8BitDeck texture for awhile now, but it keep crashing when I try the outdated method, and Maverick (texture loader) doesn't have support for the front designs it seems

[worldly thicket]

Nvm then, look at me asking redundant questions

[rapid stag]

doesn't work

[frosty dock]

what is your smods version

[rapid stag]

1.0.0 beta 0323b

current release

[frosty dock]

I should make a new release, shouldn't I

but card_added should be in that version

[chilly tendon]

Utility joker idea
Mr. Mrs.: Kings and Queens count as the same rank

[rapid stag]

and nothing was output in the lovely console either, so the condition was never entered

[zealous glen]

SMODS.DeckSkins

[pseudo cape]

I figured it out, m just using SMODS.Atlas and replacing the default texture

[zealous glen]

I don't recommend doing that

[narrow iron]

why's this not working?

[dreamy thunder]

card = self wouldnt work

change it with card = card

[narrow iron]

ohhh

[dreamy thunder]

also self.config.extra

[runic pecan]

What is the optional feature named if I want to use context.cardarea == 'unscored'?

[red flower]

i think its not optional anymore

[dapper sun]

how do i create a joker from a custom pool instead of from all jokers?

[red flower]

if you dont care about rarities use pseudorandom_element on a list of keys and pass the key to SMODS.add_card
if you do, make an SMODS.ObjectType and pass it's name as a set to SMODS.add_card

[dapper sun]

ok

[runic pecan]

This doesn't remove unscored cards. Please help.

[dapper sun]

in add_card's key value?

[red flower]

yes

[dapper sun]

the game crashes when i play a hand

[runic pecan]

I thought it should be key = "j_elle_residents".
Oops, I didn't look upward, sorry.

[dapper sun]

no

i use elle-j-residents as the key in both the objecttype and the add_card

[red flower]

oh, if you want to use an ObjectType it should be in set, without a key. also area is not a string

[dapper sun]

oh ok

ty

yeah the area thing may be a slight problem lmao

thanks for pointing that out

[cursive sentinel]

im not sure to understand the difference between the contexts cards_destroyed and remove_playing_cards even with the doc

i see the glass and caino jokers have their code in both context but i dont quite get why and what does it change

[red flower]

the first is used to destroy cards and the second is called when a playing card has been destroyed

[dapper sun]

it's just making jimbos

[red flower]

yeah i was going to say, i think the cards field on objecttype doesnt work with modded jokers

you need to inject them after

[cursive sentinel]

cards destroyed*

swapped the words

[dapper sun]

how do i?

wdym inject

[red flower]

sorry i was trying to see if i could fine some nicer code than mine lol

[dapper sun]

ok lol

[limber blaze]

        key = "Twisted",
        default = "j_entr_memory_leak",
        cards = {},
        inject = function(self)
            SMODS.ObjectType.inject(self)
            for i, v in pairs(Entropy.FlipsidePureInversions) do
                self:inject_card(G.P_CENTERS[v])
            end
        end,
    })
    SMODS.ObjectTypes.Twisted:inject()```

heres an okay example

[dapper sun]

ty

game's crashing on startup,,

SMODS.ObjectType {
    key = "Residents_Base",
    cards = {},
    inject = function(self)
        local jokers = { "elle_chloe", "elle_sophie" }
        SMODS.ObjectType.inject(self)
        for i, v in pairs(jokers) do
            self:inject_card(G.P_CENTERS[v])
        end
    end
}
SMODS.ObjectTypes.Residents_Base:inject()```

wait i think i see the problem

i think it needs to be in the same indexing formatting as before

[red flower]

it needs to be j_modprefix_key

[cursive sentinel]

i have a crash on card destruction (wether played or not) about "juice_up" and got no clue what it is

[red flower]

whats the code?

[dapper sun]

ty

[cursive sentinel]

(i ended up using only remove_playing_cards as i didn't find further info on the context.destroyed_cards)

[dapper sun]

still nope,,
local jokers = { "j_ellejokers_elle_chloe", "j_ellejokers_elle_sophie" }

wait that isn't the prefix

[faint yacht]

😶‍🌫️ How safe is using such...

[dapper sun]

i'm still confused 😭

and still crashing

[red flower]

try this

return {
    message = localize('k_plus_spectral'),
    colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Spectral,
    func = function()
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'before',
            delay = 0.0,
            func = (function()
                SMODS.add_card({
                    set = "Spectral"
                })
                G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
                return true
            end)
        }))
    end
}

[red flower]

whats the crash

[next timber]

how do i get a list of all legendaries? i thought i could use SMODS.Consumable.legendaries but its an empty table

[cursive sentinel]

works!! thank you

[zealous glen]

@red flower hello N' how are you

[red flower]

G.P_JOKER_RARITY_POOLS[4] i think

[zealous glen]

I just spent ~1h making a Joker compatible with perhaps the objectively worse effects in the game, Magic Trick and Illusion

[red flower]

hiii im doing well and you

[red flower]

i think the keys are wrong yeah

[zealous glen]

also there are bug reports about Illusion going back almost a whole year

which I found out about while reading the code then testing it

[dapper sun]

i've tried elle_chloe, j_elle_chloe, j_elle_elle_chloe, and it's not working

[zealous glen]

why does magic trick exist

[red flower]

can you show me the joker definition and your json/mod header

[zealous glen]

thunk somehow had an idea worse than skipping v_v

[red flower]

maybe inject doesnt work either lol

[dapper sun]

[red flower]

i dont use this anymore but i did it like this

[dapper sun]

?

[red flower]

obviously mine is more complicated but the idea is that you hook SMODS.injectItems

and then you do SMODS.ObjectTypes["modprefix_key"]:inject_card

[dapper sun]

can you give a simpler code example pls,, 😭

[limber blaze]

j_elle_elle_chloe would be the right key idk why its not working though

[red flower]

local SMODS_injectItems_ref = SMODS.injectItems
function SMODS.injectItems()
    SMODS_injectItems_ref()
    for i, v in ipairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker) do
        if v.key == "j_elle_chloe" then
            SMODS.ObjectTypes["elle_Residents_Base"]:inject_card(v)
        end
    end
end

[dapper sun]

ty

[red flower]

its actually simpler to look in P_CENTERS directly but im stupid and didnt write that 🙂

[limber blaze]

i forgot that i have mine setup in injectitems tbh

[dapper sun]

do i need to add a SMODS.injectItems() later in the code?

[limber blaze]

the way i have it listed here works perfectly

dont worry about LoadCompatibilities and Entropy.ReverseFlipsideInversions though they are irrelevant

[dapper sun]

ok

this is making me feel rly dumb ngl

pls can i see your Entropy.FlipsideInversions table

[edgy reef]

What are you even doing?

[dapper sun]

scroll up

we've been trying to figure this out for a while

[edgy reef]

Why do you need to hook SMODS.injectItems?

[dapper sun]

because apparently i can't use modded jokers in cards

[edgy reef]

huh?

[dapper sun]

gimme a moment i wanna try smtn

[edgy reef]

I thought the issue with cards was that it would work with only modded cards, and then I fixed that.

And the code to handle this has been the same for the past 6 months.

[dapper sun]

oh ok

ok i fixed it

that was much simpler than all that inject stuff

i feel less dumb looking at this simple code

[rapid stag]

bump.

[runic pecan]

The SMODS wiki says "saved - used during context.end_of_round to prevent game over", but the message is hardcoded for Mr. Bone . Can we customize the saved message with smods instead?

[zealous glen]

I think the message is already automated for modded Jokers

[reef belfry]

I just thought of a joker that does 25 different things based on what its current ability is but i dont think i have the mental capacity to do that

[dapper sun]

chloe joker isn't appearing at all,, marie joker (legendary) appeared once (out of 25 tries) tho

[runic pecan]

Really? Like message = ... ,, that easy?

[zealous glen]

I meant that I think SMODs uses the Joker's name

[runic pecan]

Let me tell you, it didn't.

[rapid stag]

this is not true. i was able to confirm this last night

the localisation var for it is stored at G.localization.descriptions.misc.dictionary.ph_mr_bones - there are multiple routes you can take to change it such as with SMODS.process_loc_text(), or the generally better and more compatible way, with a localisation file

[rapid stag]

from my dump of functions\common_events.lua, on the current release version of SMODS

to make this dynamically use whatever name mr bones would be changed to, you could replace localize('ph_mr_bones') with "Saved by "..G.localization.descriptions.Joker.j_mr_bones.name

...to handle additional jokers that return saved = true, would probably have to rewrite this to get the name of whatever joker that returned saved, which i believe is possible in this event chain

[dapper sun]

wait i'm dumb it's bc it's the fallback and all the listed jokers were already held

it works fine if i just add showman lol

[zealous glen]

I remember someone had modified it

But maybe that was before new calc

and it didn't get ported

or they didn't make a PR

I think if people want this feature they should request it

[dapper sun]

i'm getting the legendary joker quite often,, is it using the card's rarity correctly?

[tall apex]

hey is there a way to move card's position on screen?

[glass scaffold]

....do you have your rarity set to 4?

[dapper sun]

yes

i pulled the legendary one 12/30 times

[glass scaffold]

Are you playing on the Equilibrium Deck or using the Equilibrium Sleeve?

[dapper sun]

no

red deck, no sleeve

[stark geode]

I just pull up a copy of the games eng locale then steal keys from it with localize()

[glass scaffold]

Hang on, is your Joker both a Base Resident and a Legendary?

That MIGHT explain why.

[dapper sun]

yea?

[glass scaffold]

Yeah, that may be the cause.

[dapper sun]

how so?

[glass scaffold]

Because you defined the Joker as a Base Resident in its ObjectType, which means regardless of it being a Legendary, it'll still be a possibility via Resident Spectral.

[dapper sun]

ok

i thought using objecttype meant it'd account for card rarity

how do i use the rarity in the objecttype?

[glass scaffold]

I can suggest making Base Resident a Rarity instead of ObjectType.

[dapper sun]

i'd rather not make it a rarity

[glass scaffold]

...good question, I don't know if you can.

[tired skiff]

chat what did i messup

[dapper sun]

your joker needs a key

it says it there

[tired skiff]

i have a key though

[dapper sun]

it needs to be in quotes

[tired skiff]

thats weird cause i have another joker with its key not in quotes

ok it lauches now

smh

[dapper sun]

that should be in quotes too what

[tired skiff]

oh wait it was the name that was not in quotes

my bad chat im a idiot

[dapper sun]

that should also be in quotes

[tired skiff]

yeah idk why it works then

[dapper sun]

prob bc that name isn't doing anything

the name needs to be in loc_txt

[tired skiff]

anyway

how do i make a joker
uhh how do i make this pg uhh sodoku itself

destroy itself

[dapper sun]

pg?

oh lmao

u don't have to say it like that this isn't youtube

[tired skiff]

anyway dosnt matter

[tired skiff]

basicly want this joker to start at like 3$ and then if u have less that 3$ it goes to 4 but if u have more than 3 it destroys itself

[reef belfry]

Wholelottalatro

[dapper sun]

how do i get a rarity's rate?

[thin anchor]

trying to add a deck to jens almanac
is this right?

[proud moon]

does anyone have an example of a modded joker that functions like blueprint or brainstorm? im trying to add another version of blueprint called redprint to my mod, but im way out of my league with jokers that take on abilities of other jokers

just an example i could look through and learn from would be great

[paper zealot]

I am once again begging you to format your code indentation (Shift+Alt+F), for your own sanity and ours.
The common wisdom is that code is read 10 times more often than code is written, so making it as readable as possible is really important.

We are constantly reading old code as part of the effort to write new code. ...making [code] easy to read makes it easier to write.
This also means it's 10 times more important to develop your ability to read code than your ability to write it. Read through other people's mods to get a sense of how things are written, and you'll find you'll get a lot better at writing code in the process.
This style guide also offers some good tips on good and bad practice, though many people will disagree on the exact details. Consistency is the most important thing.
While you're learning, it's good to not develop bad habits early that are hard to shake off later on

[tired skiff]

:<

[faint yacht]

...can I actually hide normal poker hands and let them become unlockable?

Huh, yes.

-# The order gets kinda fucked up, though... or it might be just the idea of it actually throwing me off.

[proud moon]

thats actually a really cool idea

[graceful magnet]

this makes something always able to appear even when you have it right? am I just getting astronomically unlucky with my mass Rare Tag spawning?

[dapper sun]

no

i don't think so

maybe look at how showman works?

[tall apex]

hey does anyone know what defines where a card can and cant be?

[rapid stag]

i don't have anything, but i know that if you have a either a lovely dump of the card.lua or the game's original card.lua to check through

just from thumbing through those to see how blueprint & brainstorm work nomally, i know that to do the compatibility check, you'll need to use a main_end which is something you return as part of your loc_vars table, which involves UI code, so have fun with that

and in card.lua's Card:calculate_joker(context) function, blueprint and brainstorm are right at the top, at the start of the function. basically what blueprint does there is it sets up a holder var for the other joker, then iterates through all of the present jokers in G.jokers.cards until it finds itself, then identifies the next one in sequence as the joker to its right (the joker to the left being the previous one in sequence). it then checks to make sure the thing it's trying to work with exists (since if blueprint is at the far right of the jokers area for some reason, the next joker in sequence is always going to be invalid). imo one minor nitpick about the vanilla blueprint is that it doesn't break the loop after other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i+1], which means that loop will just continue to iterate even after its achieved its purpose, which probably doesn't really mean much in terms of inefficiency and performance, but is probably a good habit in this kind of "iterate through the whole list to get one thing" kind of method of doing things, to do.

i don't fully understand what's happening from that point onwards other than:

• it creates and populates the blueprint child in context, which is vital to ensure that what it does next works properly and as intended - this is probably something you should mimic exactly to ensure maximum compatibility with both vanilla jokers and jokers from other mods, for things like context.blueprint == nil to keep blueprint from blueprinting that part of a joker's function if it's designed that way
• it calls the calculate function of the other joker and puts the returned table into a var. this is what blueprint itself returns.
• it removes the blueprint child in context that it created afterward (but not before putting the reference to itself into a var for later) - this is just as important as creating the context, because there will always be more jokers in sequence on from blueprint that have yet to calculate, but since the context it's editing is the context that was passed into function in the first place, if this isn't done, the blueprint child will persist into the next calculate() call, making that next calculate() think it's being called by blueprint.

a different way to do this could be to instead copy_table(context) into a variable, then create the blueprint child in that, but this is probably more memory efficient since doing it that way declares a new variable.

• it then sets the card child of the table that returned from the other joker's calculate() to itself, overriding any value that was there - which is mostly just determining where the message appear. it also forces the colour child to G.C.BLUE, mostly just an aesthetic choice for blueprint specifically. then it returns that table.

[tall apex]

my question hath been launched into the stratosphere

[rapid stag]

i'm sorry i'd been writing that for like 10 minutes

[tall apex]

ASDGDSAKLGASDGASDG LMAO

you're good X3

[faint yacht]

What do you even imply by "can and cant be" on cards... and what cards, even... suit, rank, rarity?

[tall apex]

like, consumable zone, joker zone, hand zone, and by cards i meant objects like jokers and consumables and playing cards :3

[rapid stag]

i think they mean the kind of cardareas where jokers, consumables and cards can be

[tall apex]

yur!

how do i fw that >:3

[graceful magnet]

the thing about Showman is it doesn't "work", from a code standpoint it does nothing, but its presence enables duplicates of cards to appear

[rapid stag]

oh you want to make changes to the existing ones - i was under the impression you wanted to make new ones

[dapper sun]

oh ok,, i see

[tall wharf]

is there not like

a setting you can set to make it show more than once

[graceful magnet]

but the docs never use anything in a sentence so I'm not sure how to write it

[tall apex]

oh no, i have a crack cocaine idea :3

behold my WIP joker that will take me months to code hopefully not

... one second my games opening

[graceful magnet]

supposedly but I ain't got a clue how to use it

[tall apex]

here :3

[graceful magnet]

I just posted that

[tall apex]

this is what im trying to code X3

[graceful magnet]

right here

[tall wharf]

return true, {allow_duplicates = true}

that's all you need to do i believe

inside the in pool function

[tall apex]

looky joker :3

[tall wharf]

@shell timber mentioned

[tall apex]

oh shit is someone also making a joker that does that

[tall wharf]

no

[rapid stag]

i see

[tall apex]

oh

[tall wharf]

just virtual insanity

[tall apex]

real

[tall apex]

i cant wait to crash my game YAAAAAAAAAAY

[tall wharf]

iirc x5 mult but does the amber acorn thing

[tall apex]

idek how to begin so im not gonna implement it rn, but i did the art :3

the background isnt done yet tho

[faint yacht]

-# Now I need to alter the text of the Psychic boss blind...

[tall wharf]

just got an idea for new boss blind

which is honestly very diabolical

should just be ultima blinds

[proud moon]

Thank you, i had little clue where to start and was hoping there was already a structure in place in modding, but this is still a large step in the right direction, ill might be able to work out the rest from here. i should also mention, this is my first modded joker lol. I already do know how to make regular jokers thanks to the smods docs and i was making compatibility between modded jokers and JokerDisplay, but i only started 2 days ago so any help is greatly appreciated.

[graceful magnet]

Yep!

[tall wharf]

how about

do not draw cards after hand played

[rapid stag]

what's the default cost of a rare joker

[tall apex]

4 billion :3

i think 10?

[tall wharf]

i think blueprint and brainstorm are both 10

[tall apex]

ohhh

yeah just bloopy and brainstomp are 10

[tall wharf]

the dumbass rares are 8

[proud moon]

i think most are 8, uncommon are 6, and common are 4

and then credit card is a special guy and is 1

[tall apex]

oh nope, could you tell me a bit about card areas and how they're implemented :3

[rapid stag]

i don't know anything about those, sorry

there are a lot of modders that work with cardareas though

[tall apex]

All good!

My search continues >:3

[red flower]

what do you need to know

[tall apex]

Well, where to get started trying to make this happen

[tall apex]

^

[tall wharf]

hey n

[red flower]

all cardareas take all kinds of cards so rather than looking at how cardareas work you need to check which functions emplace cards in them, like this part in buy_from_shop

[red flower]

hii go to sleep

[tall wharf]

i have class in half an hour

also i actually did the solitaire part using cardareas

[paper zealot]

I wondered what the constant "NopeTooFast {Cirno_TV & Friends} is typing..." notice was going to result in

[tall apex]

Oh! So like, if I were to make it so that you could drag them over a zone and put it in there like how you’d rearrange your stuff, would emplacement be used for that?

[tall wharf]

i use draw_card

[red flower]

oh if you want to be able to drag and drop them its a bit more complicated
you should probably actually look at aiko's code for the solitaire stuff lol

[rapid stag]

i, like many others, have a fondness for blueprint

especially since it is friend-shaped

[tall apex]

Oh, word!

[red flower]

why chiruno so smol

[tall apex]

..,, aiko could I see that code?

[gentle rain]

what on earth is causing this? i checked over all my atlases and couldn't find anything wrong.

[tall apex]

[rapid stag]

wee joker

[tall wharf]

show your atlas

[gentle rain]

...well, i have a different atlast for all 7 of my jokers.

[rapid stag]

SMODS.Atlas requires px and py to be defined when you call it

[dapper sun]

how do i add a joker unlock?

[tall apex]

I showed you my atlas pls respond

[tall wharf]

do people just put each joker in different atlases?????

[gentle rain]

all of my atlases are formatted like this, with one having the soul_pos.

[tall wharf]

that's like the whole point of having an atlas

[faint yacht]

Check for check_for_unlock in source code.

[rapid stag]

in SMODS.Atlas{}, X needs to be px
and Y needs to be py

[tall wharf]

what they said

also placeholder?

[gentle rain]

ah, right. i forgot for that specific joker.

or, that specific atlas.

hehe.

[tall wharf]

i hope people didn't miss the whole point of having an atlas

[red flower]

what do u think of mine

[tall apex]

I do :3

[gentle rain]

that being...?

[tall wharf]

at least they are in sets

[tall wharf]

you put a bunch of joker textures in one file so the game only has to load one file

[gentle rain]

ah, right.

[tall apex]

4 billion files >:3

[rapid stag]

atlases are for doing this with https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1233186615086813277/1359433411919347722/Balatro_7hT8tspJtV.gif

[gentle rain]

i'll cross that bridge when i get to it. for now, it's much easier to throw everything in a spritesheet.

i also need to add localization, too.

[old bane]

animation atlases go brrrr

[tall wharf]

weeps

[old bane]

kinda wish you could make jokers have animated textures

[rapid stag]

it's not even an animation atlas. animation atlases don't work in main_ends for whatever reason.
this is manually animated

[rapid stag]

you can, i've seen it

[gentle rain]

oh, you certainly can. see cardauce's granny cream joker.

[faint yacht]

Aura or manually update the current "frame".

[gentle rain]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1320520590016385086/1329806430730981478/grannycream.gif?ex=67f871ff&is=67f7207f&hm=f57d7d1e4d77761560b1c449bd5f902ce76ac0685a771d52419f96db6d85d45d&

[faint yacht]

This is a bit faster in-game, quite an in-dev GIF.

[old bane]

i can hear the music now
i was about to write the lyrics but i don't speak japanese yet

[paper zealot]

What kind of impact does this have on performance and memory? I'd be curious to see how it's all handled by the engine

[red flower]

only 77 more to go

[old bane]

wait i forget how is the texture for hologram handled? is that just a shader?

[rapid stag]

i honestly have no idea, how can i check? the filesizes of both bad apple atlases are 196 kb

[gentle rain]

do you have a blank 10x10 template of cards on hand?

[shrewd cobalt]

I'm trying to grab the value of G.GAME.tags's key string, but when I do print(G.GAME.tags.key) it comes up nil,
Am I selecting the right table?

[tall wharf]

no

[gentle rain]

ah.

[tall apex]

ight immna go doodle more clowns

bcos im def not getting this done tonight

[tall wharf]

development resumes tomorrow

[tall apex]

real

[tall wharf]

someone help me with my solitaire thank you

[paper zealot]

Do you experience any drop to fps while it's playing? For memory, i don't know of any memory profilers, but you could check how much the Balatro.exe process is using when the atlas isn't loaded and when it is

[red flower]

i want to do 29 jokers tomorrow

i did 19 today

[tall apex]

gib solitaire code for drag and move pls ty 10000 years

[gentle rain]

well for one you start by putting aces in first

[tall apex]

GET OU-

[gentle rain]

holy shit

[tall wharf]

i have problems with double clicking part

[gentle rain]

oh you have double clicking? awesome

[wind steppe]

do yall know how to scale a joker's values (like red card or green joker)

[tall wharf]

i want it

but it breaks right now

[gentle rain]

may i ask if solitaire is gonna have any impact on balatro runs or if its just a for fun thing

[red flower]

if ... then -- context check
  card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + 1
end

[tall wharf]

It will be a boss blind.

[gentle rain]

lol

awesome

[rapid stag]

none that i noticed it's probably well-optimised especially since the graphic uses only 3 colours. could probably reduce it to two if i wanted to optmise it further

[tall wharf]

seriously

how do people do double click

[red flower]

carefully

[rapid stag]

i want to know how you get that hold click thing to select cards

what does that

[red flower]

handy

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1270746376312979456

[faint yacht]

...hm...

SMODS.Blind:take_ownership('psychic',
    { debuff_hand = function(self, cards, hand, handname, check)
        return #cards ~= G.hand.config.highlighted_limit
    end},

...that's a hardcoded string, even worse!

[tall wharf]

handydydyshdhd

[manic rune]

hi aiko

[tall wharf]

I'm tired bepis

please help me

[modern kindle]

Hi bepis

[paper zealot]

Store double_click_position and click_time and check them on click and click release

• On click:
  • If double_click_position has been set previously, and is equal to the current position, and (current_time - click_time < double_click_time_threshold), it's a double click!
  • Else if double_click_position nil, store double_click_position and click_time.
• On click release:
  • If cursor position is changed, reset double_click_position and click_time
    Ideally you'd also invalidate if it the cursor had moved in the meantime, but that's probably hard to do within the Balatro controller and might be excessive

[tall wharf]

i mean i got the double click part but i don't have the stacking part

[paper zealot]

how do people do double click
You can probably forgive me for misinterpreting your question

[modern kindle]

I'm very tired and that got a cackle out of me

[tall wharf]

i have card double_click working

but i just dont have stack moving on double click working

it's insane

LMAO

[tepid rock]

}

having some issues. Card kills the card on the right but when it goes to convert the left to a negative, it crashes

[tall wharf]

i wish

[red flower]

use :set_edition instead of :set_ability

[scarlet spire]

What.

how

[scarlet spire]

you can't keep getting away with this

[tepid rock]

still crashes

[red flower]

sad

[tall wharf]

:3

[scarlet spire]

oh that's fun actually

[wind steppe]

does anyone know why the joker isn't scoring? (also how would I make both the total chips and the chips it gains changeable with one line)

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'Blue Card',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Blue Card',
        text = {
            'This Joker gains {C:blue}+30{} Chips when any',
            '{C:attention}Booster Pack{} is opened.',
            '{C:inactive}(Currently {}{C:blue}#1#{} {C:inactive}Chips){}'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    config = { extra = {
        chips = 0
    }
    },
    rarity = 1,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.chips}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.open_booster and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + 30
        elseif context.joker_main then
            chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips
        end
    end
}

[tall apex]

wait this is so cute :3

[red flower]

elseif context.joker_main then
  return {
    chips = card.ability.extra.chips
  }
end

[tepid rock]

i think i found the issue: I believe its the G.jokers.cards[my_pos-1]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.e_negative, nil, true) part but idk how to fix it. documentation says it should be Card:set_ability... but that would make it the card itself, not the card to the left

[red flower]

I'm still pretty sure it's set_edition

[tepid rock]

*set_edition

forgot to put the new code in my bad

[paper zealot]

u#BCIWeeeeflme

[tepid rock]

G.jokers.cards[my_pos-1]:set_edition(G.P_CENTERS.e_negative, nil, true)

[red flower]

i think set_edition doesn't take a center, it takes a string like "e_negative" or a table like {negative = true}

i might be wrong on one of those

[tepid rock]

took out centre and it gave me the same resuklt

[coral flume]

Anyone got a clue why blueprint says incompatible even though its working?

[glass scaffold]

blueprint_compat = true

add that in your joker's code

[worldly thicket]

Is there a way to make new suits?

[glass scaffold]

Yeah, it can be done. You'll have to look around for a mod that does it, though.

[tepid rock]

Where would I pit {negative = true}?

[worldly thicket]

A mod that adds the ability to make new suits or a mod that adds one

[glass scaffold]

adds one

[worldly thicket]

What if I wanted to make one?

[glass scaffold]

I don't know how to make a custom suit, so you'd have to ask someone else

[worldly thicket]

Alright then, thanks

[red flower]

set_edition({negative = true})
set_edition("e_negative") should work too

[formal parrot]

Aiko how can i make that “example” label

[tepid rock]

        if context.setting_blind and not card.getting_sliced then
            if my_pos and G.jokers.cards[my_pos+1] and not card.getting_sliced and not G.jokers.cards[my_pos+1].ability.eternal and not G.jokers.cards[my_pos+1].getting_sliced then 
                local sliced_card = G.jokers.cards[my_pos+1]
                local left_card = G.jokers.cards[my_pos-1]
                    sliced_card.getting_sliced = true
                    G.GAME.joker_buffer = G.GAME.joker_buffer - 1
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
                        G.GAME.joker_buffer = 0
                        left_card:set_edition(e_negative, true)
                        card:juice_up(0.8, 0.8)
                        sliced_card:start_dissolve({HEX("57ecab")}, true, 1.6)
                        play_sound('slice1', 0.96+math.random()*0.08)
                    return true end }))
                end
            end
    end
    
}

doesnt crash now but doesnt apply negative

[faint yacht]

'e_negative'

[tall apex]

gimme joker idea

:3

[tall wharf]

a lot ogf insanity

[tepid rock]

thank you both, now works

[gentle rain]

you kind of scare me in a good way

like. howdo you do that

[faint yacht]

-# UI wizardry.

[gentle rain]

made solitaire made scrabble in balatro shit is nuts

made bad apple

[tall apex]

Aiko could probably code my new joker in 5 minutes XP

[coral flume]

Cheers

[tall wharf]

im a genius

[rapid stag]

bump

[faint yacht]

Something like this?

[faint yacht]

...actually, is that a retexture of the vanilla Wild Card enhancement, even?

[unborn bay]

feel like this is probably too powerful as an uncommon joker

[faint yacht]

-# A solid Rare imo. Though, what do I know about appropriate rarity assignment.

[lucid owl]

how could i manipulate blinds for a deck? i'd like to make sure every boss is a showdown boss but can't seem to figure out how

[faint yacht]

Probably hooking or Lovely patching of get_new_boss() for your deck.

See common_events.lua at line 2338.

Or you could slap your own gathering of the Showdown blinds and letting pseudorandom_element choose the boss for you in calculate of the deck, after which you assign it to G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices.Boss.

[lucid owl]

thanks for these ideas on how to do it!

i might just patch

but adding a little thing in the calculate function may be easy enough too

[tall wharf]

aaa

[faint yacht]

Well, for what I needed

while G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices.Boss == 'bl_psychic' do
    G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices.Boss = get_new_boss()
end

was enough.

[late basin]

How would you detect how many of a specific card are in your deck (like the way Steel Joker and Cloud 9 do it)? The Steammodded documentation is my best friend but I'm having a hard time finding this one

[tall wharf]

funny

[winged pulsar]

can someone help me fix this, my lovely keeps telling me theres an unknown key and wont load my mods

[tall wharf]

[scarlet thorn]

You can ignore the unknown key. Not sure about the not loading mods cpart. Maybe hit enter when in that console screen incase you paused the program.

[tall wharf]

i love

[faint yacht]

💀 Now imagine all those conditions compressed into one return...

[winged pulsar]

It loads the game, but unmodded. I have steammodded and lovely installed it doesnt load anything

[tall wharf]

i keep adding random people by accident

😭

[winged pulsar]

Yeah you just added me as well lol

[scarlet thorn]

can you send the log from Balatro\Mods\lovely\log?

[winged pulsar]

For sure!

then when it boots it looks like this

[scarlet thorn]

Lets move to #⚙・modding-general , but I need to see the lovely log, not bmm

[coral flume]

Trying to check if a played hand contains a scoring King and Jack. Tried setting to values to be true and then returning the effect if bothe those values are true but its not working and theres probably a better way to do it

if you know a way please ping me, many thanks

[dense adder]

whenever a joker is checking for an enhancement from the modpack do i just need to give the key of that enhancement or does smods require the mods key the enhancement is from

      if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and context.scoring_hand then 
          if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_rose') then```

[daring fern]

The key would be m_modprefix_rose

[dense adder]

thank you

[tall wharf]

chat how balanced is this

[lucid owl]

i got it working but this keeps appearing in the log whenever i finish a round? (i may have set the logic up weirdly but this was the way i structured it)

[lucid owl]

nevermind, apparently this does not work lol

[faint yacht]

...why the returns?

[lucid owl]

just a sort of last ditch effort to get rid of that warning lol

[faint yacht]

You could limit when that goes of by putting it under a context of sorts, be it .leaving_shop or something.

[tall wharf]

calculate return should be a table not a boolean?

[rapid stag]

yes. but it's not related to my problem. it would exist with or without it

[lucid owl]

i removed those and it seemed to fix both the crash and the warning lol! just added a break (just in case) and removed the return

only problem is that the boss background seems to be incorrect but i think i've seen that be an issue for people before

[rapid stag]

...IT PROCCED WHEN I BOUGHT A CONSUMABLE.

i don't understand. it must just be broken for jokers, then

[scarlet thorn]

This context is used for effects when a (non-playing) card is added to the deck (Card:add_to_deck).
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions
What specifically are you trying to do?

Showing the current code where you use card_added would also help

[rapid stag]

please see the second screenshot of the message i replied to.

and the rest of that conversation

[scarlet thorn]

Exactly what I meant with the "current code" statement. using context.card_added in the way you did would not give (shouldnt) the attempt to indexerror that you complained about.

[rapid stag]

i did not complain about the error.
i complained about context.card_added not working for jokers.

[sharp blade]

loc_vars is run whenever you hover over the card, but if you want code to be run at the very end of scoring, you could use context.final_scoring_step in the calculate function

[scarlet thorn]

Worked for me.

[high sinew]

Im trying to get a booster pack I want in the game to work but line 77 on cookbook is returing nil for booster can anyone help?

[scarlet thorn]

SMODS.BOOSTER and SMODS.CONSUMBALE are not to be fully capitalized.

SMODS.Booster and SMODS.Consumable

Though, with what you're doing with the imports and SMODS confuses me. I havent seen anyone do that yet, is it truly necessary?

[rapid stag]

bump

[scarlet thorn]

you can just edit io_queue in the loc_vars function

[rapid stag]

i'd like to avoid taking ownership if possible

[high sinew]

ik the top seemed very wrong took it out

[scarlet thorn]

Are you trying to add this to a vanilla/other mod joker?

[high sinew]

ill try uncapping

[rapid stag]

not a joker. wild card enhancement

[scarlet thorn]

If you've already modified generate_card_ui(), just replace it with loc_vars

however you're doing that

[rapid stag]

...wait, loc_vars in vanilla items is just a table is it safe to be making those functions instead

[scarlet thorn]

Fair point. You probably will need to take ownership.

[rapid stag]

does balatro not have a way of determining if a played hand contains other hands

[small moon]

I'm really confused as to how to move the Ace on the main menu; We've tried replacing the title_top definition to change the x position and that doesn't change anything, and we've tried replacing the replace_card definition to append the x position and that doesn't change its position either

[daring fern]

next(context.poker_hands['handname'])

[coral flume]

Struggling to get this to work

[daring fern]

It's get_id()

[rapid stag]

after following the wiki on something and struggling to work out why a if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then wasn't being entered when i played a hand, i print(tprint(context))ed when context.before. why does context.cardarea not exist?

[wintry solar]

That’s a card table, not a context

You probably have your function defined wrong

[rapid stag]

oh whoops, the print(tprint(context)) was print(tprint(context.cardarea))

[small moon]

For anyone wondering, the position of the title screen Ace card if you want to change it is in functions/common_events.lua in the function set_screen_positions

[rapid stag]

is it possible to make it polychrome

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wintry solar]

However, assuming this is a joker, context.before won’t have a cardarea value of G.play ever

[rapid stag]

so why is this like this

[wintry solar]

Because for modifiers it can be

[daring fern]

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "game.lua"
pattern = "replace_card.states.visible = false"
position = "before"
payload = "replace_card:set_edition('e_polychrome')"
match_indent = true
overwrite = false

[rapid stag]

can i use pseudorandom() shenanigans to give it a chance of being polychrome

[daring fern]

Probably.

[rapid stag]

i just noticed something about the way blueprint & brainstorm work.
is there a way i could make blueprint and brainstorm not overwrite the return table's .card and .colour if .card is a playing card?

i mean, i guess i'd have to SMODS.take_ownership() of them, but i'd still need to know how i'd identify .card as a playing card

[coral flume]

Fixed the crash but now its just not doing anything

[faint plank]

im so close to having 2 pages of jokers

[cursive sentinel]

im trying to have a chance to create a spectral card on each card destroyed while holding the joker, although it only procs once even when two cards are destroyed by the hanged man, or more by the glass shattering, any clue?

            local destruction = 0
            
            for k, val in ipairs(context.removed) do
                destruction = destruction + 1
            end

            while destruction > 0 do
                if (pseudorandom('goon') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/card.ability.extra.odds) then
                    G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1
                    return {
                        message = localize('k_plus_spectral'),

                        func = function()
                            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                                trigger = 'before',
                                delay = 0.0,

                                    })
                                    G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
                                    return true
                                end)
                            }))
                        end
                    }
                end
                destruction = destruction - 1
            end
        end```

also i don't quite understand the difference between context.remove_playing_cards and context.cards_destroyed, aside from maybe cards destroyed would affect all cards type? i dont find info on it so i dont know how important it would be to do both just as caino and glass jokers

[tall wharf]

ong

[runic pecan]

What is the best context timing to check if the score is on fire?

[rapid stag]

bump

[rapid stag]

i guess after?

[high sinew]

how can i impliement a sound correctly?

its crashing my game rn like this

[daring fern]

Remove :new

[high sinew]

ok thx man

this happened when sound tried playing

[daring fern]

Remove sounds/

[high sinew]

same thing happened when removed from the path

heres the code from when it activates from joker

[daring fern]

Your mod prefix is mills?

Remove the prefix when defining the sound.

[high sinew]

yes

oh really?

i thought u need

[tall wharf]

it's automatically added

i think

[high sinew]

ok bet

another error 😦

[daring fern]

Where is your sound?

[high sinew]

heres the lua files

in my sounds folder

[daring fern]

It needs to be in assets/sounds

[high sinew]

ohhhh

lol

thanks bro

does it need to be in folder called resources?

crashed again

[frosty dock]

you need the prefix when calling play_sound

just not when defining the SMODS.Sound

[high sinew]

where?

[frosty dock]

this should have the prefix

but you removed it

[wintry solar]

cards_destroyed isn’t a thing, it’s a remnant from old thunk code. The reason it’s only doing one is that you return within your loop, so it can only happen once

[cursive sentinel]

okok

so the move was indeed to your remove_playing_cards

although i have no clue why it only procs once for me whereas the same call makes it multiple times for caino and shattered glass

i'd guess it's for the context.individual, but adding it stops the joker from having any effect

[daring fern]

They told you why at the end.

[cursive sentinel]

should i vanish the return then? i'm really a newbie

[runic pecan]

How to make sure a card.ability.extra[some_key] value is always an integer?

[daring fern]

if type(card.ability.extra[some_key]) == 'number' and math.floor(card.ability.extra[some_key]) == card.ability.extra[some_key]

[runic pecan]

Sorry, I forgot math.floor was a thing.

[elder inlet]

Does anyone have any idea why a combo of mods would cause all hands to be lvl0 at the start of a round and be unable to score at all?
I have a modpack built, I was wondering if anyone had knowledge that could save me the task of testing each mod.

[zealous glen]

You can test half of all mods at a time

[tall wharf]

We're not magic beings

we don't know what your setup looks like

[elder inlet]

I mean I was just asking why it might be possible within the code... Not to magically cure my issue

What possible code logic might have caused that. So I might have an idea of where to look. No one was asking for a magic bullet

[tall wharf]

sorry anyway uhm i think you might want to look in game start run

sorry i am wrong

the original values are in Game:init_game_object()

[hushed field]

any mods that mess with how hand levels work could be the cause. Aurinko, Cryptid + any add-ons, etc.

[tall wharf]

does smods have card getting destroyed context yet

[dapper sun]

yes

context.remove_playing_cards

with the destroyed cards listed in context.removed

[tall wharf]

is there one for jokers

[dapper sun]

nope

i wish there was tho,,

[manic rune]

hi anshy
-# yes im putting you a new name

[unborn bay]

what does anshy even mean

[manic rune]

dunno

oh yeah, one of my friend's name :3

thought it would be funny if i decided to just call my friends names of my other friends

[heavy hare]

would anyone know why the FileHandler running would cause a crash?

game.lua:2798: bad argument #1 to 'push' (boolean, number, string, love type, or table expected)

this is the part of the code where it's breaking:

if G.FILE_HANDLER.run then
    print("FILE HANDLER RUN")
    
    G.SAVE_MANAGER.channel:push({
        type = 'save_run',
        save_table = G.ARGS.save_run,
        profile_num = G.SETTINGS.profile})
    G.SAVED_GAME = nil
end

only changes i've made to G are adding a new UI object to reference and updating the G.orbital_choices

[red flower]

i had this happen recently because i saved a function inside a card's ability table
probably saving something where you shouldn't

[heavy hare]

ooo interesting, i'll check that. thank you

[tall wharf]

hi n

wtf happened to my game

[unborn bay]

you can now use the game as your desktop backgrounr

[tall wharf]

fuck it i made custom context for when jokers get removed

[zealous glen]

3

I mean there’s probably more than 3

[tall wharf]

i don't see one

[zealous glen]

Paperback and Bunco do it

At least

Oops

Not Bunco

Betmma’s

Why haven’t they PR’d SMODS IDK

[unborn bay]

lovely patch bros ,,,,,

[tall wharf]

no lovely patches

[zealous glen]

Lovely Patch Bros.: The Movie

[unborn bay]

i actually had to lovely patch the mechanics for multiplier and i still need to figure out how to properly change the messages

i tried hooking into localize

but message comes first

so the very first mention of + Mult or + Chips isn't modified

return {
    message = localize('a_mult'),
    mult_mod = 5,
}
-- Message is created first here, currently the global toggle for this is off as it gets toggled when marketplier activates
-- mult_mod triggers the toggle change
-- Subsequent mult changes have X Mult as the message, but not this one

[tall wharf]

these codes are written while I'm half asleep please do not mind the bugs and glitches that will occur

[unborn bay]

i need to predict the future

[last sentinel]

What would be a good way to have an enhancement store a value for each individual card with the enhancement, and not just across the board (e.g. a stone joker that loses a chip from it's bonus each time it's played. Changing the config value changes the bonus across all cards with the enhancement)

I could use perma bonuses i suppose but then i'd have to handle removing the bonus if the enhancement is removed and keeping track of that... just wondering if im missing something obvious before hiking down that path

[tall wharf]

card.ability...

[manic rune]

am i cooking

[tall wharf]

wtf is this

[manic rune]

background

idk

:3

[tall wharf]

look at all these placeholder

[primal robin]

My morning starts from fixing a bug with multiplayer mod

[hushed field]

I'm not entirely sure what your intended effect is. Is it an enhancement that gives score based on the number of cards with that enhancement in the deck?

[manic rune]

ur placeholder looks better than my finished art

gonna kms

[last sentinel]

doing that changes the value for all cards that have the enhancement

[tall wharf]

😔

[unborn bay]

i NEED to make better art

[primal robin]

Meawhile, my arts:

[tall wharf]

i think card.ability is unique per card

[hushed field]

it doesn't

[manic rune]

it is finished

[unborn bay]

me doing ten 10s was enough of a motivation

[manic rune]

what did they do

[frosty dock]

normally you just { mult = 5 }, no need for message shenanigans?

[manic rune]

shenanigans...

[unborn bay]

vanilla jokers

vanilla jokers use message together with mult_mod or whatever

[tall wharf]

with Steamodded you don't need to do that

[primal robin]

From 3 out of 11 options, chat should decide what we gonna do, and some jokers consumables will be given accoring to choice

[last sentinel]

nah, independent from one another, the enhancement starts at +10 chips, loses one chip from itself when played, and then remove the enhancement once it hits zero

[tall wharf]

chat is this real

chat

[frosty dock]

Am I missing context or how does that matter

[manic rune]

chat is this true

[unborn bay]

im trying to replace the message from +mult to xmult lmao

this is for a joker

[hushed field]

card.ability should just work for that. .ability is unique per card object

[primal robin]

For example

[frosty dock]

you should be able to do that with post_trigger

it lets you modify the return value of the reiggered joker

[hushed field]

If you're having the issue that it sets the value for every card with that enhancement, I'd assume you're accidentally setting it somewhere else

[unborn bay]

it's not really retriggering though

[last sentinel]

yeahhh ill poke around. I had assumed as much when i started using it but came here when i couldnt isolate the issue further, I'll shake it out

[unborn bay]

im basically hooking into calculate_individual_effect to change mult to x mult and chips to x chips

via a lovely patch

[hushed field]

feel free to show the code. I'm increasing, not decreasing, but the Sci-fi enhancement in Kino changes value every time it's scored

it's shitty i know

Imagine move all this code to function and just include a function in patch

i probably should

but it gets the job done for now

[primal robin]

That's how Balatro game code was made

Initialize cards for shop in UI function? Maybe I shouldn't, but it gets the job done for now

[last sentinel]

iiiii figured it out and it was dumb... forgot the cardarea check in the -1 block and so it was removing one from all of them regardless of where they were, which sure looked a whole lot like it was changing it globally🤦

Appreciate the help y'all

[tall wharf]

😭😭😭😭😭

[unborn bay]

anyway i still need to figure out how exactly to patch the message field

unless i could just make the calculate_effects function prioritize mult_mod and chips_mod first before doing that

which would probably solve the problem

[hushed field]

do I have the Taken joker interact with the abduction mechanic, even though it's explicitely themed after alien abduction 🤔

[hushed field]

Going to set up quests to be simpler because I've written a spider-web that's going to catch way too many bugs otherwise

[zealous glen]

Yes

[hushed field]

I've opted to make Taken a simple mult joker that turns John Taken's distrust of women's ability to do literally anything into a fun mechanic of giving 5 mult if you draw a queen, and losing 5 mult if you play one.

[stark geode]

Roffel would do great with that joker

[zealous glen]

Turning misogyny into score

[stark geode]

That's why Roffle would pop off

Bro is not beating the misogyny allegations

[tall apex]

Who the hell starts a dev chat like this I just woke up

[crisp coral]

...what?

[thin anchor]

got damn!!!!

[cursive sentinel]

is it possible to set a sell value indedently from the cost?

like to make a joker's sell value to absolute zero and not changeable

[thin anchor]

well that would be one cold joker if its absolute zero!

ha... ha...

[runic pecan]

How to know the hand type of the last played hand of round under context.end_of_round and context.repetition?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.last_hand_played

[cursive sentinel]

            self.ability.extra_value = 0
            self:set_cost()
            ease_dollars(-G.GAME.dollars, true)
        end```

it tried this but it crashes on sell

[daring fern]

Do you have talisman installed?

[cursive sentinel]

what is it?

[runic pecan]

Would the game crash if return {repetitions = 0, ...} under context.repetition?
If not crash, would message still pop up even when repetition is 0?

[runic pecan]

A mod that messes with how numbers were stored in game such that big numbers can go even bigger, yet in the meantime introduces a couple of other issues include but not limited to attempts at comparing numbers with tables.

[dapper sun]

how do i make a joker that gives chips and mult give 2 messages?

[long urchin]

how do i get seperate joker files to work on mac?

i tried copypasting some code and its experiencing issues so i think i should just rebuild from the ground up

[daring fern]

Return {message = 'message', extra = {message = 'message'}}

[unborn bay]

the extra table ,,,,

[dapper sun]

ty

[runic pecan]

TIL that under if context.repetition ... if your return table doesn't have card = ... the game will crash.

[wintry solar]

This sounds unintended

[long urchin]

does anyone know how to set up files for separate jokers?

[cursive sentinel]

any idea of why it makes the game crash on sell?

[faint yacht]

self > card?

[cursive sentinel]

yes

used the context of cola and invis

[daring fern]

Change self to card and context.debuff doesnt exist.

[cursive sentinel]

okok

doesnt crash anymore but the sell value isn't bothered anymore

[daring fern]

It's card.ability.cost I think.

[cursive sentinel]

doesnt change either when i replace extra value by cost

[wintry solar]

It’s something like sell_cost iirc

[long urchin]

You update it after

It's in my code hold on I gotta boot my computer up

[cursive sentinel]

sell_cost doesnt work either

perhaps the issue would be me putting it into context.selling_self?

[daring fern]

card.sell_cost

[modern kindle]

sell_cost is definitely correct,

[cursive sentinel]

ahhh left the ability

[modern kindle]

oop, yea he got it

[cursive sentinel]

ok it works now, had to take off the self:set_cost ()

the animation is a bit wacky but it does work

[long urchin]

@cursive sentinel this i know works its a copy of my code
card.ability.extra_value = card.ability.extra_value + 5 card:set_cost()

you change the value and then update it with set_cost()

[daring fern]

They are trying to set the cost to 0

Not add extra cost.

[cursive sentinel]

could i do it with this formula by substracting by self?

x)

[long urchin]

its still the same principle

you can just do = 0

[modern kindle]

then they can just set thre value to 0 instead of doing the addition, yea

[cursive sentinel]

it was what i had at first i think?

[long urchin]

card.ability.extra_value = 0 should work

[cursive sentinel]

here had tried with self and card

with self it crash

with card the sell value didn't change

[long urchin]

can we see the crash?

[cursive sentinel]

with the self? sure

[modern kindle]

i do this with one of my cards

card.sell_cost = to_big(0)

you can igore the to_big because thats for talisman

[long urchin]

replacing self with card for sell_cost and extra_value should work, so i have a feeling its a problem with the context

[cursive sentinel]

card with extra value had no effect

[long urchin]

can i see line 402? like can you screenshot your main.lua with the line numbers

[cursive sentinel]

sell cost had though, it does work

it just seems to update the dollars an additional time before getting to zero

[wintry solar]

Extra value as 0 won’t change the sell cost

[cursive sentinel]

set.ability.extra_value = 0

[long urchin]

ok sanity check: replace the context with if context.before and context.cardarea == G.jokers then

[wintry solar]

You could set it to -card.sell_cost though I think

[long urchin]

it does tho? this is the calculate code for my joker and it works fully as intended

    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and context.main_eval then
            card.ability.extra.money = card.ability.extra.money - 5
            card.ability.extra_value = card.ability.extra_value + 5
            card:set_cost()
            ease_dollars(-5)
            if card.ability.extra.money <= 0 then
            
            end
        end
    end```

[cursive sentinel]

its compatible with selling_self?

[long urchin]

but double check

see if its the code inside the context or the context itself by changing the context to one that we know works

because it seems everything should work, and yet it doesnt, so its something we're missing

[wintry solar]

You aren’t setting the extra value to 0 there…

So of course yours works

[long urchin]

ohhhh is it like scale where it doesnt like to be set as a base number and instead a change in number?

[daring fern]

Extra value is cost added to the sell cost.

[wintry solar]

Extr value is just added into the base cost

That’s why it’s extra

[long urchin]

yeah but its still changing the sell value

[cursive sentinel]

card.sell_cost = 0

this works

[long urchin]

ik, its sell value starts negative and goes to 0

[cursive sentinel]

but the dollars bar seems to go up and then down

it's a bit weird but it ends up at zero

[long urchin]

with the different context or same context?

[cursive sentinel]

with the context i previously had

[long urchin]

ok

[cursive sentinel]

context.selling_self

[long urchin]

do you have a way to clip it? like can ur computer handle the steam clips function?

or do you have another way to record?

[cursive sentinel]

i can, 2sec

[thin anchor]

how would i destroy cards?

[wintry solar]

What’s the actual intended effect?

[thin anchor]

for it to destroy all played cards

[daring fern]

if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play then
  return {remove = true}
end

[thin anchor]

cheers

[wintry solar]

Please please put an area check in this @thin anchor

It will destroy every card you have otherwise

[thin anchor]

even better!

[cursive sentinel]

i suspect the additional effect is due to the sell cost modified which must have its own sounds

[thin anchor]

lol /j

[tall apex]

is there a context for the current atlas of a card?

or should i make an atlas with two sprites if i want them to swap

[long urchin]

i didnt know you were changing the dollar number i thought it was just the sell value

or is that unintentional

[cursive sentinel]

it comes after

if context.selling_self then

        card.sell_cost = 0

        if G.GAME.dollars ~= 0 then
            ease_dollars(-G.GAME.dollars, true)
        end
    end

[zealous glen]

No

[cursive sentinel]

basically a sell joker with same counterparts as wraith spectral

[zealous glen]

Probably

[tall apex]

do you know why this isn't working? :3

[long urchin]

try changing ~= to >= mayhaps?

[daring fern]

You could just add the sell cost to the money that your deducting.

[tall apex]

ill prob do that if this doesn't work

[cursive sentinel]

its the way it is in wraith

it can make it up to 0

if you're in negative

[modern kindle]

just having an extra sprite isnt that bad, its a pretty easy swap

[zealous glen]

Does SMODS handles returned atlii?

[cursive sentinel]

oooo hadn't thing of that,,, smart!

[long urchin]

i mean sure but thats un-preferable because it doesnt translate that with the sell value being different

[cursive sentinel]

will try

[tall apex]

i dont think so? idk im just trying what i know :3

[long urchin]

ideally the ui says its 0

[zealous glen]

Then why are you returning it

It’s not magic

[modern kindle]

hi vic :D

[zealous glen]

Hello dilly

[daring fern]

-(G.GAME.dollars + card.sell_cost + card.ability.extra_value)

[modern kindle]

i hope you are well this fine thursday

[zealous glen]

Could be better

[tall apex]

ohhhh, that makes sense

OH SO I MAKE IT NOT IN THE RETURN

[cursive sentinel]

will put it in like that

[wintry solar]

Just set the sell cost to negative game dollars

[thin anchor]

is there an smods page with all of the area checks?

[cursive sentinel]

ok this one does the same in sound effects, but now i just think it's basically because i sell it, thus i hear the sell and the money set subsequently

it's not too bad,,, thank you all for your help!! very kind!

[wintry solar]

Is it all played cards you want to destroy?

[thin anchor]

yes

[tall apex]

damn i thought i had it

[wintry solar]

Just do if context.destroying_card then

[thin anchor]

k

[tall apex]

ill try this another day ig

[long urchin]

yeah afaik unless you make the sell price the money you own * -1 its gonna do that no matter what

[modern kindle]

it would just be easier to add another sprite to the same atlas and change it that way, idk why youre doin all this

[thin anchor]

so like this?

[long urchin]

cuz it does the sell which does the sound, and then activates everything under context.selling_self which eases dollars and that makes a sound

[tall apex]

im learning and tryin things, s'why i need help to know where im going wrong!

would i change it using pos?

[daring fern]

You need to check context.cardarea == G.play

[red flower]

its funny that you even copied the typo

[thin anchor]

eep

[long urchin]

if you want it to be just one movement you could try setting the sell price to -(G.GAME.dollars + card.sell_cost + card.ability.extra_value) instead of easing dollars to that? tho idk how well thatll work

still worth a try tho

[thin anchor]

i am so ignorant

[red flower]

i hate extra_value, i just made a lovely patch to set_cost so i could set it directly

[cursive sentinel]

it did the same

and im not sure of it working that much on negative dollar values

[long urchin]

hm

[analog spoke]

how do you add hyperoperational mult? I've got talisman in here

[long urchin]

i dont know then thats really strange

[modern kindle]

 local desiredx, desiredy = 1, 1 -- sets new points of atlas for new texture on neglection.
            if card.children and card.children.center then
                card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({ x = desiredx, y = desiredy })
            else
                print("Error: Unable to update Tamagotchi sprite.")
            end

i do this for mine,m uses the sme atlas and uses desired x/y for the new pos

i did just realize however the atlas doesnt save if you leave and re-enter the run so ill need to do a check for that eventually

i just threw this in where i set my card to be debuffed

[cursive sentinel]

ill keep what i have for now and move on the next i planned,,, thank you a lot

[thin anchor]

ok so

[daring fern]

Return {emult_mod or eemult_mod or eeemult_mod = number}

[daring fern]

Remove checking for context.individual

[wintry solar]

No

[long urchin]

fuck

[wintry solar]

Just the if statement I gave you

Nothing else

[long urchin]

thats complex

[tall apex]

i only need it to change when it triggers during joker main :3

[modern kindle]

then set the context and put that in there

[analog spoke]

I've done the emult, thing is tho, I'm not doing exponential mult here, I'm doing pentational (that's ^^^)

[daring fern]

eeemult_mod
