[tepid rock]

so change sliced to right ?

I would use that for plasma runs ngl

[runic pecan]

If you wanna destroy a random joker, why copy Ceremonial Dagger instead of Mad Joker?

[tepid rock]

I want to destroy to the right then dupe left

[tall wharf]

ok

[runic pecan]

I assume you got the dupe part from Invis Joker, right?

[tepid rock]

correct

[tall wharf]

oh there's one

😭

burnt ash

[tepid rock]

it is a weird mix of invis and a previous joker I made (which is based on ceremonial but gives negative to right rather than mult to itself)

[tall wharf]

INFINITE JOKER

[runic pecan]

More like put local sliced_card = ... before the if so you can use it in the if conditioning.

So 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 would become if sliced_card and not card.getting_sliced and not sliced_card.ability.eternal and not sliced_card.getting_sliced then

[tepid rock]

gotcha, added it (and fixed all the red lines) gonna see if it crashed when i use it

[tepid rock]

calculate = function(self, card, context)

                jokers[#jokers+1] = J

        end
            if context.setting_blind and not card.getting_sliced then

                                G.jokers:emplace(card)
                                end}))
                            
                            
                        else
                            card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_no_room_ex')})
                        end
                else
                    card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_no_other_jokers')})
                end
            end
        end
    end
    }

got this

[runic pecan]

Where did your local my_pos and local jokers = {} go?

[tepid rock]

good question, mustve accidentally deleted it ^^'

[hasty mist]

I've made a modded version of blueprint that copies the joker to its left, rather to its right, i'm trying to make it so that it can't copy blueprint and blueprint can't copy it, since putting them next to eachother ingame makes it so that left clicking crashes the game without giving a crash log, setting blueprint_compat to false makes it so that blueprint reads as incompatible, but the modded joker still reads compatible when placed on blueprint, giving the crash.

[dense adder]

is it possible to add a perma_bonus to a card thats not the scoring card?

[tepid rock]

            if context.setting_blind and not card.getting_sliced then
                if #jokers > 0 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 
                    if sliced_card and not card.getting_sliced and not sliced_card.ability.eternal and not sliced_card.getting_sliced then
                        if #G.jokers.cards <= G.jokers.config.card_limit 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()
                                card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_duplicated_ex')})
                                left_card:add_to_deck()
                                G.jokers:emplace(card)
                                end}))
                            
                            
                        else
                            card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_no_room_ex')})
                        end
                else
                    card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_no_other_jokers')})
                end
            end
        end
    end
    }

still crashing, just about juice up ; note: it crashed before and after added

[tepid rock]

                                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)

was added under G.jokers:emplace(card) and still crashed

[tall wharf]

me about to add 12 years old meme to my mod:

[hasty mist]

weirdly enough setting blueprint_compat to false also makes it incompatible with itself

[maiden phoenix]

for i,J in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            if J == card then
                my_pos = i
            else
                jokers[#jokers+1] = J
            end
        end

This is not under a context check, therefor it loops trough G.jokers.cards in every possible context. G.jokers.cards doesn't exist in every context tho

[wintry solar]

I think it’s actually complaining that the jokers table doesn’t exist, needs a local jokers = {}

[coral flume]

anyone know why this crash happens, seems to happen when I have one of my jokers bought from the shop, and then select a blind

but it doesnt have any issues if I had it dudring a round

[rose dragon]

which meme?

[coral flume]

the problem joker

[rose dragon]

i don't get it 😭

[slate bison]

anyone know how do i get the id of the consumable being used by the player?

[daring fern]

context.consumeable.config.center.key

[slate bison]

damn thats huge

thank you

[tall wharf]

i will add a new joker

[south lintel]

classic

[coral flume]

What context does a joker use for 'on buy' effects?

[daring fern]

context.buying_card

[slate bison]

anyone knows why my joker is not doing anything? all i want for now is that, everytime u use a tarot card, it creates a random new one

[coral flume]

Is that for when any card is bought? I need it to trigger when the joker itself is bought

[daring fern]

Use the add_to_deck function

[tepid rock]

I have one

code was too long for discord lmao

[tepid rock]

crashing regardless

[maiden phoenix]

Is it still the same crash?

[tepid rock]

this one yes

[maiden phoenix]

card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_duplicated_ex')})
                                left_card:add_to_deck()
                                G.jokers:emplace(card)
                                end}))
                            
                            
                        else
                            card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_no_room_ex')})
                        end
                else
                    card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_no_other_jokers')})

those self should be card instead

[south lintel]

is there a simple way to check how many hands have already been used in a round?

[maiden phoenix]

G.GAME.current_round.hands_played

[south lintel]

thanks

[tepid rock]

not crashing now but not detecting jokers

says there are no other jokers despite there being jokers

[formal parrot]

Ellen joe

[maiden phoenix]

Can you show your full calculate code again

[tepid rock]

Teto

[formal parrot]

metal_pipe.mp3

[maiden phoenix]

Your local values should be under the context check imo

[formal parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-pipe-gggg-banger-godlike-gif-9885189804401680492

[tepid rock]

No offence but I understand it better outside context and would rather just know things to help fix the code

[maiden phoenix]

Maybe that's the reason why your jokers isn't checked

[tepid rock]

I changed it, it's still having the issue

[maiden phoenix]

You should use sendDebugMessage for debugging to see at which point it doesn't get the jokers you want

[tepid rock]

I fixed the issue but now it just spontaneously creates jokers but not showing them

[formal parrot]

Hell yeah

[south lintel]

I think I may have put the xmult increase in the wrong spot

[tepid rock]

code btw

[maiden phoenix]

Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't it be the left_card that should be emplaced?

If this doesnt work you should try using SMODS.add_card({key = left_card.config.center.key})

[tepid rock]

instead of add to deck?

[tepid rock]

nope, crashes the game

[maiden phoenix]

Yea instead of the two lines

[tepid rock]

apparently not

[maiden phoenix]

I think it's because this is outside that it creates so many

[runic pecan]

context.individual is for playing card scoring process, which would always be nil when using a consumeable.

[slate bison]

well if i dont use context.individual it keeps talking about indexing a nil value :(

and giving an error

[tepid rock]

nope

[maiden phoenix]

Because context.consumeable might not exist instead do

if context.using_consumeable then
  if context.consumeable.ability.set == ...

[runic pecan]

What SDM_0 said, in case you thought the message wasn't for you.

[slate bison]

oh that makes sense

looking at the game code i saw that but didnt think it was a big deal

[slate bison]

thank u for the ping btw

[runic pecan]

Always do a nil check, boys'n'girls'n'others

[maiden phoenix]

nil check this

https://tenor.com/view/cat-flashbang-gif-25002731

[slate bison]

😭

[maiden phoenix]

What is your joker supposed to do btw Neon Kitchen?

[tepid rock]

kill left, dupe right

it is doing that, technically

[maiden phoenix]

Oooh I'm blind

You're never returning true for the event

[south lintel]

I need opinions, is this an alright effect to have and how rare should the joker be?

[zealous glen]

Sounds Rare or Very Rare

[maiden phoenix]

Yea it's kinda like a better Carto

[south lintel]

I was thinking of this being rare or legendary but idk if the effect is adequate enough for a legendary

[zealous glen]

Not Legendary

Just Very Rare

[formal parrot]

Must have space

[tepid rock]

doing return true but now it is destroying the left then recreating it

[maiden phoenix]

Replace left_card by the card you wanna copy

[south lintel]

good point, I forgot to add that

[formal parrot]

It’s pretty good tho

Can i see the art ?

[tepid rock]

it is copying left, i want it to destroy the right and it is just not doing that

its destroying the left

then recreating the one it jsut destroyed

[south lintel]

there is no art for now, I am terrible at doing art and I was leaving it for last for that reason

and when I say terrible I mean it lol

[formal parrot]

Keep trying and you’ll get better

Trust

I was horrible

[south lintel]

yeah ik, I was just focusing on the part I at least can do a little bit better which is coding, even if I haven't worked with Lua before

[maiden phoenix]

Odd, maybe sliced_card is getting replaced somehow

[formal parrot]

Same

I’m doing the reverse LOL

[south lintel]

the upside is when I do get around to making the art, I only have 7 jokers in this mod, so it won't be that much work hopefully

[formal parrot]

I’m doing the art and saving ideas to code later

[tepid rock]

it was. Working now

final code

[south lintel]

can I see some of your art?

[maiden phoenix]

Does it not crash if it's the first or last joker?

[tepid rock]

nope. Says there are no jokers

[maiden phoenix]

Good

[tepid rock]

Nvm, crashes without a left joker but i think I can fix it

Fixed, just had to add if #jokers > 0 and not G.jokers.cards[my_pos-1] == nil then

[maiden phoenix]

if #jokers > 0 and G.jokers.cards[my_pos-1] then also works but nice 👍

[tepid rock]

I swear, every single joker i have made has forced me to get help lmao

[runic pecan]

It is never shameful to ask for help.

[maiden phoenix]

Tbh if you're just starting that's quite a complex joker so props for going this far 👍

[tepid rock]

thank you and i am not ashamed, just find it funny that i dived into the deep end

[south lintel]

we all start somewhere, I keep coming back asking for the simplest things because I can't figure everything out on my own

[tepid rock]

Real, happens when making music and any creative thing (just more obvious in coding cus you can almost always see it)

[unborn bay]

i am only good at programming

[runic pecan]

That being said, I'm currently also asking for help. *bump

[formal parrot]

Sorry for late response

[unborn bay]

holy shit

[tepid rock]

Question tho, is there a way to have a joker ignore a full joker hand when you buy it? (I have a joker that adds an extra joker slot and you cant buy it when jokers are full)

[south lintel]

ooh that's really nice

[reef belfry]

After 1 round of modded balatro i have to work in the mines and create another joker

[formal parrot]

Took me a lot to learn LOL

I never done pixel art before

[south lintel]

eugh I will have to find out how to fix this

[coral flume]

I know this is out of nowhere but holy crap thank you so much, I didnt realise you could do "_______ == nil " and its fixed an issue I've had for hours

[tepid rock]

Welcome. I only know this cus i do it alot in unity

[south lintel]

I can imagine

[formal parrot]

Actually it took me like 2 days

I implemented what i learned from normal art to pixel art

Like shading and stuff

Just look up some references and some jokers from the game

They helped me a log

Lot

[south lintel]

yeah that makes sense

my only experience with art is music really, but I don't think that's gonna help me with drawing pixel art lmfao

[unborn bay]

i have been learning art though out my balala modding journey of all things

like im actually kinda proud of these two ngl

[shell timber]

they're both nice but ten 10s should probably have the white border the other jokers have

[south lintel]

is the Good 'n Evil art a reference to that one album cover by Tally Hall (?)

[unborn bay]

yes

[south lintel]

I have no idea how I remembered that

[hard needle]

im too lazy to read allat (good 'n evil)

good sprites tho

[reef belfry]

The Human Magnet Medicinatron

There are 4 people who will get where this is from

[tepid rock]

Bumping and adding a question: if i see a joker and go "thats cool" can i ask the creator if i can make one with a similar/the same trait as it?

[tepid rock]

reminds me i need to make some album jokers

[shell timber]

this is the one album joker i have though i might change the effect tbh

[tepid rock]

is that lemon demon?

[shell timber]

close enough

[unborn bay]

i should make the marvin's marvelous mechanical museum joker

[tepid rock]

I am making ghost pop tapes 100% but idk what it would be

[unborn bay]

featuring jimbo, jolly joker, blueprint and brainstorm

[reef belfry]

Why would they be copying jimbo

Ur losing out on like +8 mult when playing a pair

[unborn bay]

why not

[south lintel]

I fixed it! That means that all my jokers are done codewise (I hope) and I just need to make the art and maybe balance them

[unborn bay]

it's still free +4 mult

[tepid rock]

does that mean it copies both the joker to the far left and to it's right. Damn that is gonna be used too much

[hard needle]

if my mod has an error does balatro just blackscreen when i strat it?

[hushed field]

no, it'll give a crash, or if it's an infinite loop, shutdown everything

[hard needle]

well thats very fun

[hushed field]

a blackscreen can happen, but shouldn't if you're not doing something really weird in your code

[hard needle]

?????????

well it does for me xd

[hushed field]

Haha, what's your mod added so far? Is it just a joker and some loading code?

[hard needle]

uhhhh

[hushed field]

you'll wanna post your code, I reckon 😛

[hard needle]

i added a joker that has X2 mult and -0.25 Mult every round

uhh i didnt do that 2nd part yet because i just wanted to see if it would work

[reef belfry]

Should this
A.) Balance chips and mult for the next hand
B.) Turns all cards in hand into Steel

Or the slightly unbalanced
C.) Draw all steel cards in deck regardless of hand size

[tepid rock]

Randomly force all but 1 score to either chip or mult

or 10, might make it useful

[south lintel]

that screams baron mime naneinf ngl

[tepid rock]

otherwise B sounds good

[hard needle]

hmmmm so if i remove the steamodded header the black screen goes away probably because my mod didnt load

the hell is going on with my mod??

[maiden phoenix]

Alt Ramen 👀

[hushed field]

ah, are you using a header in the .lua file?

[hard needle]

yeah..?

[unborn bay]

i had this stupid idea for a joker once where it gives like x20 mult

with a 1 in 10 chance of doing x0 mult

[hard needle]

its supposed to look like this right

--- STEAMODDED HEADER
--- MOD_NAME: Stuffz
--- MOD_ID: STUFFZ
--- MOD_AUTHOR: [Mini]
--- MOD_DESCRIPTION: Adds some jokers.
--- PREFIX: stfz
----------------------------------------------
------------MOD CODE -------------------------

[shell timber]

you shouldnt use a header

[hard needle]

oh?

[hushed field]

not your fault for not knowing, no worries, but it's the outdated method for loading mods. You'll wanna use a separate .json file

[shell timber]

morefluff only uses a header because i havent been bothered to change it

[unborn bay]

please don't use lua headers as those are depracrated now

deprecated? depracated?

idk

[reef belfry]

I HAVE a stupid idea for a joker where it does 11 different things depending on how many of each suit you have scored

And i think i have to go through with it

Also isnt 1 in 10 a bit too low of a chance

[shell timber]

Complexity Creep - Rare
Gains a random effect after each Boss Blind

[reef belfry]

X20 is a biggo xmult

[hard needle]

i was thinking about it but the example mod that i'm trying to learn off of was updated like 4 months ago and i figured that not much breaking changes should've happened in that gap

[hushed field]

haha, good luck with setting that up. Took me making a whole system to make that work

[hard needle]

sorry i will look into it

[unborn bay]

yeah but the other option is flat X0

meaning all you have will turn into NOTHING

[hushed field]

oof, haha, yeah it's very different now 😛

[hard needle]

whats the format for main.json, same as header?

[reef belfry]

Make it -1X mult so it fucks you iver and gives you negative score

[hushed field]

but nothing wrong with making that mistake, the documentation on what's changed isn't great

[hushed field]

I'm not sure, I've never used a header! I'd check some recent mods and see what they do, but I think there's a template on the smods wiki you should be using

[hard needle]

ah, i found it

alr

does debugplus have an option to like create a certain joker

[hushed field]

yes! hover over it in collection and press 3 (or shift-3, depending on your settings)

[hard needle]

omg yey i made my first joker

thank you ic

e

[hushed field]

Congrats 😊

[reef belfry]

whenever im down i know SMODS.Gradient got me

[hard needle]

does debugplus have an option to instantly end the round and go to cash out

[crisp coral]

yes

[daring fern]

Win Blind

[hard needle]

ah oke just saw that 😭

[south lintel]

@formal parrot the most temporary of temporary art

[tall wharf]

😭😭😭😭😭😭

do you not just have random art slapped on it

[south lintel]

I know but I'd rather have this than vanilla joker art reused

[south lintel]

no bc I have no idea what to draw for them yet

[reef belfry]

draw the 4 as the suits

the other 3 pray for a miracle of an idea

[south lintel]

only one of these has anything to do with suits 😭

[reef belfry]

i meant like glutt greedy lusty n wrathful

[south lintel]

yeah I know what you mean

[formal parrot]

Holy shit 😭

[south lintel]

I will make actual art

I just need to come up with ideas for these

[hard needle]

how do i get the scoring hand

[unborn bay]

the characters from the hit netflix anime series the seven deadly sins

don't actually do that

[icy moss]

SMODS.Rarity { key = "supercommon", loc_txt = "Super Common", default_weight = 100, badge_colour = HEX('FFA500'), get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type) return weight end, }
I was try to create a super common rarity to test my joker but it doesn't seem to do anything, reading the code on the SteamModded I would think it will make the joker much more common in this case

[tepid rock]

is there a branching category for all cards (eg, something to detect a specific edition from consumables and jokers) or do i just need to add an "or" between consumables and joker

[daring fern]

Why not use https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664?

[icy moss]

no idea it existed, still I'm wondering why the rarity doesn't work

[daring fern]

You needed to put pools = {["Joker"] = true},

[icy moss]

oh I see

[tepid rock]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } }

It is meant to detect negatives jokers (idk how i can get it to detect consumables) then give 2x mult for each one but it is doing neither

[daring fern]

The edition key is at card.edition.key

[red flower]

context.joker_main and context.other_joker don't happen at the same time

also for consumables it's just context.other_consumeable

[tepid rock]

are they meant to happen at the same time?

[red flower]

no, what I'm saying is that they are separate contexts
remove the context.joker_main check

[tepid rock]

gotcha. It should still detect when I play a hand right?

[red flower]

yes

Remove .card when checking edition.

You’ll also need to check just the edition exists first too

is that why i got this error?

i havent even finished the 3 jokers im planning to make and i already have 3 more in my backlog of hellish ideas

I'm trying to think of more ideas tbh

some i'm like "i want to make this into a joker" but idk how

i now have 9 jokers this is good pace

What this Joker do?

[daring fern]

This can't be a joker and a consumeable at the same time.

[tepid rock]

Wdym? It is a joker

[tepid rock]

2x mult per negative (joker and consumeable)

[daring fern]

Your checking if any consumeables are the same as the joker.

[maiden phoenix]

Yea also not sure why you're calling context.other_joker and context.other_consumeable

[tepid rock]

Ah- can you please point where I am doing this?

[tepid rock]

Egg on my face, thank you. should consumables be in there?

[long urchin]

is it possible to change the pos value of a joker during the calculate function?

i wanna make a joker have different forms but i dont wanna make a different joker for each version, ideally i just want it to be all in one

[unborn bay]

card.children.center.set_sprite_pos({x = x, y = y}) i think

[daring fern]

You should remove everything in your calculate function and try putting ```lua
if context.other_joker or context.other_consumeable then
if (context.other_joker.edition and context.other_joker.edition.key == 'e_negative') or (context.other_consumeable.edition and context.other_consumeable.edition.key == 'e_negative') then
return {
x_mult = 2,
card = card
}
end
end

I'm not sure if this works because I just wrote it now.

[crisp coral]

:set_sprite_pos but yes

[unborn bay]

card.children.center.set_sprite_pos(card.children.center, {})

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1122070934518517780.webp?size=48

[tepid rock]

Even having other_joker and other_consumable being established as local variables?

[hard needle]

is there a way to increase the amount of joker slots

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + increase

[hard needle]

oooooooooooooo oke

[long urchin]

card:set_sprite_pos({ x = x, y = y})?

[crisp coral]

missing .children.center

[long urchin]

oh its card.children.center:set_sprite_pos???

ive never seen that before

only card:

[daring fern]

I checked and it works as long as you check if context.other_joker or context.other_consumeable exist in the brackets respectively.

[cursive sentinel]

is there anyway to stock how much dollars a player earned precisely during a blind?

i dont know of base game or modded jokers that do that, i don't know all mods but in case someone already knows one i could check on?

[tepid rock]

Idk why but its not working for me cus it says other_consumeable is nil

[long urchin]

you could pull from their dollar amount and store it in a variable, then pull again when you wanna use it and look at the difference

[tepid rock]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)        
        if context.other_joker or context.other_consumeable then
            if (context.other_joker.edition and context.other_joker.edition.key == 'e_negative') or (context.other_consumeable.edition and context.other_consumeable.edition.key == 'e_negative') then  
                return {
                    x_mult = 2,
                    card = card
                }
            end
        end
    end
}

[daring fern]

if context.other_joker or context.other_consumeable then
    if (context.other_joker and context.other_joker.edition and context.other_joker.edition.key == 'e_negative') or (context.other_consumeable and context.other_consumeable.edition and context.other_consumeable.edition.key == 'e_negative') then  
        return {
            x_mult = 2,
            card = card
        }
    end
end

[long urchin]

but that wouldnt account for things like spending it just sees the difference on before vs after

[cursive sentinel]

wanted to do it but i also wondered how i could show continuously the amount the player earned; is there a context that updates itself?

[cursive sentinel]

its not about the benefice but just how much has been earned

[tepid rock]

brilliant, thank you!

[long urchin]

mayhaps you could check the price when its added to your deck and then do a check at the end of each round's money screen calculation and keep adding from that

though i feel like theres probably a check for when money is added i feel it in my gut

[cursive sentinel]

but it wouldn"t be within a blind then?

i thought there would but for now i havent found it yet

[long urchin]

you could reset it each blind completion

theres context for blind completions

see what context campfire uses :V

[cursive sentinel]

there's something called "c_dollars_earned" but i dont really understand what it refers to

looks more like for the feedback of earned dollars for ease_dollars

[long urchin]

try doing a debug run and check it

[daring fern]

if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss

[cursive sentinel]

i could just take the end_of_round

already used it for a previous joker

[long urchin]

lemme provide you my debug function, it does a little action text with whatever you put in the function parenthesis. Its only in the corner cuz i dont know how to move it lmao ive tried everything

function maxx_debug(txt)
    attention_text({
        text = txt,
        scale = 1.3, 
        hold = 1.4,
        major = aura_card,
        backdrop_colour = G.C.RARITY[4],
        align = (G.STATE == G.STATES.TAROT_PACK or G.STATE == G.STATES.SPECTRAL_PACK) and 'tm' or 'cm',
        offset = {x = 0, y = (G.STATE == G.STATES.TAROT_PACK or G.STATE == G.STATES.SPECTRAL_PACK) and -0.2 or 0},
        silent = true
    })
end```

[unborn bay]

y'all don't just use print with debugplus enabled

[cursive sentinel]

how do i add it in?

[long urchin]

use this and during some kinda context put maxx_debug(c_dollars_earned)

[long urchin]

wuh

[long urchin]

just slap it into your code and then call the function the way i outlined above

[unborn bay]

debugplus has a console lmao

any print calls are printed to it

[long urchin]

o shit what

thats like

[cursive sentinel]

i know but i dont know to use it properly either

[long urchin]

kinda huge news lmao

[cursive sentinel]

i have it installed but i use it like an ape

[long urchin]

do you know how to print??

[cursive sentinel]

only to spawn cards and jokers

nope

[unborn bay]

any print calls show up in your face

you print by print()

[cursive sentinel]

does it have to be within a section?

or can it be just in any context like that?

[long urchin]

just put in your code print(c_dollars_earned) whenever you wanna check it, it can go anywhere

[tepid rock]

sadge

[cursive sentinel]

imma try it

[unborn bay]

Xnil mult and all it does is immediately crash your game when it's triggered

attempt to compare to a nil value

[tepid rock]

Ngl, need that

[cursive sentinel]

if it gives "nil" it means 0 right?

[tepid rock]

yes and no

[daring fern]

No.

[cursive sentinel]

yeah no it's alwyas nil

[tepid rock]

Nil means nothing, 0 means lack of thing

[long urchin]

you didnt set up a values table so 'card.ability.extra.xmult' doesnt refer to anything i dont think. Try adding this mayhaps?

    config = { extra = {
            Xmult = 3
        }
    },```also in your calculate function you use x_mult and not Xmult which is different im pretty sure

i may be wrong tho i am very stupid

[daring fern]

x_mult is correct for other jokers and consumables.

[tepid rock]

I do have this #💻・modding-dev message

[long urchin]

where

[tepid rock]

Still not working

 loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return { vars = { center.ability.extra.Xmult } }
    end,

[long urchin]

i dont see it

[tepid rock]

under loc_txt

[long urchin]

ohhhhhhh

it wasnt indented i didnt see :b

my bad

[primal robin]

Can I somehow reload Steamodded mod's config page?

[long urchin]

but yeah Xmult and x_mult are 2 different things here

[daring fern]

It doesn't matter what you call the variable.

[long urchin]

oh does smods use both to mean that

strange

though i guess for good code practice you shouldnt switch it up :V

[tepid rock]

Btw, i mean it is showing nil again, was crashing but that is fixed

[long urchin]

OHHHH

its card.ability.extra.Xmult

you need to put center.ability.extra.Xmult

[daring fern]

#💻・modding-dev message

[long urchin]

oh i may be stupid

[tepid rock]

I am close to just putting 2 instead of proper code but i want to know how to do it yk

[cursive sentinel]

is there a context like blind_is_selected ?

[daring fern]

context.setting_blind

[cursive sentinel]

thank you !

loc txt might be doing something funny but i doubt it

[tepid rock]

full thing

[manic rune]

dawg

dont name it center

use card 🥀

[limber blaze]

self is the center

center here is an actual instance of the card

[tepid rock]

#💻・modding-dev message

so undo this?

[limber blaze]

irrelevant change anyway since you can name it whatever you want

[manic rune]

wha

[limber blaze]

but center is just inaccurate

[manic rune]

no clue why they would tell u to do that

yeah

[long urchin]

ok sanity check

[limber blaze]

wait holdon

when youre checking if it works

are you going into an existing save where its already there

[tepid rock]

yes?

[limber blaze]

dont do that

[long urchin]

oh my god

[limber blaze]

card abilty values dont get reset when you change them

[long urchin]

im shitting the bed

[manic rune]

u need to spawn in that joker again

[tepid rock]

I forgot that Twt

thank yall

[limber blaze]

ive had this exact same issue more times than id like to admit cause i always forget

[long urchin]

i remember debugging my first joker with bepis and i did the same problem and i was ready to die when i figured it out

[limber blaze]

usually i just tend to check the collection now cause it bypasses the issue

[long urchin]

why is the text gray

and not white

[manic rune]

probably dark_edition

aka the negative color

its a gradient

[tepid rock]

It is negative colour

[long urchin]

i mean the "X2" in the red background

[limber blaze]

do you like my cards

[manic rune]

oh yeah

[tepid rock]

it is negative

[long urchin]

ngl that doesnt look the best its kinda hard to read

[manic rune]

i sure love playing to get 5oak ❤️

[limber blaze]

you cant get Xoak or flush with these

it is entirely a downside for a reverse spectral card

[manic rune]

it should be X:mult,C:white btw

[tepid rock]

I am aware, was experimenting cus its negative based

[long urchin]

if you dont wanna make it just white i reccomend setting up a custom text color so that its still negative reminiscent but readable

[unborn bay]

half a dollar ,,,,

[limber blaze]

cryptid addon anyway so decimal money is fine

[tepid rock]

But effort lmao

[unborn bay]

half a dollar ,,,,

[manic rune]

half a dollar

thats crazy 😭

[long urchin]

dawg its not effort its like

ok hold on

[limber blaze]

btw if the wording isnt clear this means cleansing a 7 takes 6 chips because it goes from 7 -> 1 so you get 3 dollars

[unborn bay]

i need to make more jokers tomorrow because i got 2 more new joker ideas

[manic rune]

does it synergize with hiker

[unborn bay]

im boutta hit 15 soon

it doesnt take the bonus chips but i should probably make it do that

[unborn bay]

and im STILL not making The Nether as a boss blind for some reason

i could've done that earlier

im stupid

[manic rune]

would be a fun synergy if it does :3

does this work with stone cards too

[limber blaze]

for the same reason probably not yet

[unborn bay]

[manic rune]

stone cards finally getting an use, crazy

[limber blaze]

1 chip stone card would be funny but ill probably just have to make it cleanse the stone enhancement too

[long urchin]

change {X:mult, C:dark_edition} into {X:mult, C:negativetxt} or {X:mult, C:negativemult} and then add either of these lines into the code somewhere (i usually put it right above the joker that its relevant for)
G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS['negativetxt'] = HEX("c6d7ff") G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS['negativemult'] = HEX("bdd659")

[long urchin]

there we go did the effort for you lmao

[tepid rock]

thank you 🙏

[long urchin]

so

new question unrelated to the previous situation

is it possible to get a joker's pos using like their key or wtv

[plain apex]

how do i get the cards enhancement so that i can give it back

SMODS.Blind {
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'The Truth',
        text = { 'Ignores all seals, enhancements, and editions for cards' }

                        edition = card.edition,
                        ability_key = card.ability and card.ability.key
                    }

                    if card.ability then
                        card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.c_base)

                    end
                end
                return true
            end
        }))
        return true

                        card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS[ability_key])
                    else
                        card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.c_base)
                    end
                    card.seal = card._truth_backup.seal

                    card._truth_backup = nil
                end
            end
        end
    end
}

[daring fern]

You mean like position in the joker slots?

[long urchin]

no like position on the atlas

[red flower]

card.children.center.sprite_pos iirc

[long urchin]

im working on a joker that mocks other jokers but uses a different spritesheet, i wanna pull the pos and then set its pos to that since im using a spritesheet that lines up

[tepid rock]

SMODS.Joker{
    --identifier
    key = 'xRay',
    --what it says
    G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS['negativetxt'] == HEX("c6d7ff"),
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'X-Ray',
        text = {
            "{X:mult,C:negativetxt} X#1# {} Mult",
            "per {C:dark_edition}negative{}"
        }
    },

and

    G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS['negativetxt'] = HEX("c6d7ff")

SMODS.Joker{
    --identifier
    key = 'xRay',
    --what it says

    loc_txt = {
        name = 'X-Ray',
        text = {
            "{X:mult,C:negativetxt} X#1# {} Mult",
            "per {C:dark_edition}negative{}"
        }
    },

[long urchin]

what

why

wtf

[tepid rock]

did i do it wrong?

[long urchin]

i dont think so??

oh wait

its not == its just = im stupid

change it to one equals

[tepid rock]

SMODS.Joker{
    --identifier
    key = 'xRay',
    --what it says
    G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS['negativetxt'] = HEX("c6d7ff"),
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'X-Ray',
        text = {
            "{X:mult,C:negativetxt} X#1# {} Mult",
            "per {C:dark_edition}negative{}"
        }
    },

[cursive sentinel]

i have this but moneyearned increases not only out of game blind, but also when i dont change the game dollar value (for example selecting a playing card increases it by 20), any clue why?

local moneytrack = 0

        if context.setting_blind then
            moneytrack = G.GAME.dollars
        end

        if G.GAME.blind and moneytrack ~= G.GAME.dollars then
            if moneytrack < G.GAME.dollars then
                card.ability.extra.moneyearned = card.ability.extra.moneyearned + (G.GAME.dollars-moneytrack)
                moneytrack = G.GAME.dollars
            end
            if moneytrack > G.GAME.dollars then
                moneytrack = G.GAME.dollars
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            if card.ability.extra.moneyearned >= card.ability.extra.moneycap then
                return{
                    x_mod = card.ability.extra.xmult
                }
            end
        end

        if context.end_of_round then
            card.ability.extra.moneyearned = 0
        end

[long urchin]

why the fuck???

hold on lemme like

[daring fern]

Use SMODS.get_enhancements() to get the enhancements.

[long urchin]

yeah i dont know does anyone know how to set up custom text colors

cuz afaik this should be working

so i have no fucking idea

[red flower]

what's the effect supposed to be

[cursive sentinel]

to count how much dollars the player has earned during the blind (not counting how much he lost, only earned), and if it goes over a number then a mult is applied

so from blind start to the end of round, counting the money earned, and outside ideally would shouw "0$" since not counting

[primal robin]

New technology unlocked: rerender settings page on any moment

[red flower]

hmm i don't know if the logic you're doing is correct or if you can even do that inside calculate but:

• to check if you're in a blind it's G.GAME.blind.in_blind
• to give xmult it's xmult or x_mult not x_mod
• context.end_of_round is going to trigger many times, you should always do context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and context.main_eval for these kinds of effects

[red flower]

.

[cursive sentinel]

ok will do it like that and see

thank you!

ok out of blind it works

but within a blind it goes stupid

[tepid rock]

thank you for the help but ill keep it white until either of us revisit it

[cursive sentinel]

when i sell a joker for 2 dollars it shows 1296 or so dollars

and it also adds dollars when i select playing cards for obscure reasons

[red flower]

oh i just say the local moneytrack

i thought it was a global

[cursive sentinel]

should i set it global?

[red flower]

it will always be 0

[cursive sentinel]

why?

[red flower]

because every time calculate is called you reset it back to 0

you should store it in G.GAME.modprefix_moneytrack

[cursive sentinel]

should i make it a loc vars instead?

[cursive sentinel]

what is it?

[red flower]

yeah that works too probably

[red flower]

this is how you store globals between reloads

your mod prefix is just so it doesnt conflict

[cursive sentinel]

ok i made it a loc vars it seems to start to work

but there's a weird thing, on first blind it shows the total gold i have

and on following blind, it's the total gold i have minus the total gold i had at the end of previous round

[vague helm]

Hi! Is there an easy way to perform an action when another Joker is "triggered" (I guess we can define this as them getting "juiced up"). I thought context.other_joker would work, but that just refers to when another Joker is allowed to trigger, not necessarily when it triggers.

[daring fern]

context.post_trigger you also have to enable the optional feature.

[long urchin]

So after updating smods, using a patch i used in the past now gives me this error. Does anyone know why?

[manifest]
version = "1.0.0"
priority = 0


[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "card.lua"
pattern = "self.seal = cardTable.seal"
position = "after"
match_indent = true
payload = '''
self.isIjiarq  = cardTable.isIjiarq
self.visiblyIjiraq = cardTable.visiblyIjiraq
'''
times = 1

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "card.lua"
pattern = "seal = self.seal,"
position = "after"
match_indent = true
payload = '''
isIjiarq = self.isIjiarq,
visiblyIjiraq = self.visiblyIjiraq,
'''
times = 1```

[daring fern]

Couldn't you just hook Card:save and Card:load?

[long urchin]

where would i do that

i didnt make the patch i dont know what im sposed to do 😭

[daring fern]

local oldsave = Card.save
function Card:save()
    cardTable = oldsave(self)
    cardTable.isIjiarq = self.isIjiarq
    return cardTable
end
``` for save.

[long urchin]

in the main lua file?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[long urchin]

ok and then where do i call the function

or does it just work automatically

[daring fern]

And ```lua
local oldload = Card.load
function Card:load(cardTable, other_card)
self.isIjiarq = cardTable.isIjiarq
return oldload(self, cardTable, other_card)
end

[daring fern]

Yes.

[long urchin]

okie doke

[vague helm]

Wow, how did I miss that. And what's the optional feature that I need to enable?

[daring fern]

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = function()
    return {
        post_trigger = true
    }
end

[long urchin]

it still gives me the same error. Heres my main.lua

[vague helm]

Beautiful. Thank you!

[tepid rock]

Is there a way to categorise jokers? Eg, if i had a bunch of knife jokers and wanted them all to be the same type, could I do that?

[daring fern]

Like in different entries in the collection?

[tepid rock]

Kinda. So that if i had a joker that affected all of them, I wouldnt have to list them all

[daring fern]

You would either give them all a certain rarity or put them in a specific pool or give them all a specific unique key like all ending in knife or give them a unique value in their config.

[maiden phoenix]

Like Somethingcom said, you can make a pool of objects using SMODS.ObjectType

Paperback and Cryptid got some if you need refs

[tepid rock]

Is it in the base cryptid code? I might be blind

[manic rune]

im bad at pixel art...

[tepid rock]

Second question: is it possible to make odds like "5/6"?

[manic rune]

it is

pseudorandom("blah blah") < 5/6

thats pretty much it

[tepid rock]

Sweet. for config, would it be odds = 5/6?

[manic rune]

ye

it would be pseudorandom("blah blah") < card.ability.extra.odds in which case

[red flower]

1 in 5/6 or 5 in 6?

[tepid rock]

5 in 6

[red flower]

do you want it to be affected by oops

[fickle stag]

how do I access the round number in game?

[tepid rock]

last bit before i code more: would detecting only numbered cards be
if context.other_card:get_id() == 2-10 then?

[tepid rock]

yes

[red flower]

then thats a bit hard because the normal probabilities start at 1

you can make it like some stuff in cryptid where it goes down

[daring fern]

No, it would be if not context.other_card:is_face()

[tepid rock]

thank you

[manic rune]

if not context.other_card:is_face() and context.other_card:get_id() ~= 14

id 14 refers to Ace, u can remove it if u still want Aces to be counted

[manic rune]

G.GAME.round

[tepid rock]

its just an econ that give 10 dollars after selecting a blind

[red flower]

?

[tepid rock]

if you meant balancing wise, its not a big deal but if you meant code wise, i dont quite get what you mean

[red flower]

i mean code-wise, G.GAME.probabilities.normal starts at 1

[formal parrot]

The border needs to be 2 pixel wide honey

If you’re making one

[red flower]

so you can make it 6-G.GAME.probabilities.normal in 6 maybe but it goes down with oops
or make it 4+G.GAME.probabilities.normal in 6 but it doesnt double

[formal parrot]

Otherwise it looks cute

Slay

[manic rune]

...no?

or at least, the template i got has that border

it does seem to be working normally though

[formal parrot]

Yeah it does

That’s not what i meant

[tepid rock]

wdym doesnt double?

[formal parrot]

You see every joker in the base game usually has an outline of gray of 1 pixel and another one with 2pixel usually white

[manic rune]

huh

[daring fern]

Why not 5 * G.GAME.probabilities.normal?

[formal parrot]

@manic rune

[manic rune]

well damn

[red flower]

oh youre right yeah

[manic rune]

blame the template, not me :p

[formal parrot]

I’m not blaming you cutie

[tepid rock]

would that make it 10 in 6 or 6 in 6 with oops?

[red flower]

10 in 6

[formal parrot]

Also your corners DONT have to be round

You can make them flat if you want to

It’s a matter of preference

Your art us amazing good luck

[tepid rock]

gotcha. that works the same as 6 in 6 no?

[red flower]

yeah

[manic rune]

the joker combusts if its above 6 in 6

[red flower]

if you want to make it 6 in 6 you can do the 4 + G.GAME.probabilities.normal thing

[tepid rock]

looks cleaner that way imo

[red flower]

but then it would go to 8 with 2 oops

[manic rune]

does the 2px thick border look better than the 1px one

[red flower]

im still very proud of the borders i made for my mod

[manic rune]

wat border

[red flower]

look at em

[manic rune]

i dont remember there being one

OHHH

that

yeah it looks clean

do u intend to do anything with the arrows of link monsters?

[red flower]

probably not but maybe

[tepid rock]

    config = {extra = { mult = 5, odds = 5/6, repetitions = 1}},
    rarity = 2,
    --sprite location
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    cost = 4,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, (4 + G.GAME.probabilities.normal), card.ability.extra.odds } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if not context.other_card:is_face() then
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult
                if pseudorandom('vinyl') < card.ability.extra.odds then
                    return {
                        message = 'Again!',
                        repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
                        -- The card the repetitions are applying to is context.other_card
                        card = context.other_card
                    }

not the joker the odds will be put on (tho this one will have odds too) but does this look right?

[red flower]

the problem is that any arrow that is not left/right and maybe the bottom ones dont mean anything

[tepid rock]

it is adding mult with a chance to retrigger

if not a face

[manic rune]

true, true, though it would be interesting if link monsters had smt to do with their arrows, since i think they are currently just like other monsters if im not wrong?

[red flower]

no, it should be something like pseudorandom('vinyl') < (4 + G.GAME.probabilities.normal)/card.ability.extra.odds
4 can also be stored in config maybe

[tepid rock]

#💻・modding-dev message basing on this

[red flower]

they have some special properties like not being able to be flipped but yeah

[tepid rock]

cus odds are 5/6 in config

[red flower]

then the odds would be fixed

[tepid rock]

I see what you mean, changed it to what you said

[red flower]

odds should be 6 in this case btw

[tepid rock]

what I am getting

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, (G.GAME.probabilities.normal), card.ability.extra.odds } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if not context.other_card:is_face() then
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult
                if pseudorandom('vinyl') < (4 + G.GAME.probabilities.normal)/card.ability.extra.odds then
                    return {
                        message = 'Again!',
                        repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
                        -- The card the repetitions are applying to is context.other_card
                        card = context.other_card
                    }
                end
            end
        end
    end
}```

[tepid rock]

as in 6 + or smth else?

wait, i am dumb

forgot odds is a variable

All good

[daring fern]

Change 4 + to 5 *

[red flower]

they want it to be 6 in 6 when doubled

[manic rune]

...no offense, but i would legit have no clue what its supposed to do if i were to read this 😭

[tepid rock]

cus i didnt finish the description

[manic rune]

FINALLY SOMETHING EASY TO DRAW

🙏

[faint yacht]

(G.GAME and G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1) * 3 could work.

[manic rune]

they want the joker to start at 5/6 though

[faint yacht]

* 5, then.

[red flower]

but that would make it 10 lol

[manic rune]

they want it to go to 6/6 when u have oa6 :p

[tepid rock]

I am a pain :3

[manic rune]

but honestly, it would be pretty weird

since oa6 says it doubles all probabilities

[red flower]

why are people doubting my solution : (

[tepid rock]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, (4+ G.GAME.probabilities.normal), card.ability.extra.odds } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if not context.other_card:is_face() then
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult
                if pseudorandom('vinyl') < card.ability.extra.odds then
                    return {
                        message = 'Again!',
                        repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
                        -- The card the repetitions are applying to is context.other_card
                        card = context.other_card
                    }
                end
                
            end
        end
    end
}

it aint repeating the cards

[manic rune]

The Soultion

Creates a Legendary N'

[long urchin]

how do i modify the last value of a table value?

[manic rune]

table[#table]

[tepid rock]

it says again but wont again

[red flower]

you need to use context.repetition

[faint yacht]

pseudorandom("vinyl") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/card.ability.extra.odds 💀

[tepid rock]

What would that do?

[faint yacht]

It accounts for increased probability when doing the calculation.

[red flower]

you did it right here

[faint yacht]

Also, is it extra retriggers for non-face cards?

[tepid rock]

one extra yes

[faint yacht]

Huh, same braincell.

[tepid rock]

it is gonna be 1 in 10 but another joker im making is 5 in 6 so two bird, one stone debuggin

[runic pecan]

Just found another classic Thunk moment:

Either that or there's some lua technic/tip/shenanigan I haven't learned yet.

}

this isnt working nor is if context.repition then

[tepid rock]

which card is this

[glad osprey]

all of them

[runic pecan]

Not quite.

[glad osprey]

mmmm yes if false or true

[runic pecan]

Trading Card, Invisible Joker, DNA, any joker that constantly jiggles when timing is met.

[glad osprey]

-# or if not a or b idk how this shit works

[red flower]

if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
    if not context.other_card:is_face() then
        if pseudorandom('vinyl') < (4 + G.GAME.probabilities.normal) / card.ability.extra.odds then
            return {
                repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
            }
        end
    end
end

[faint yacht]

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition and not context.repetition_only then

[glad osprey]

i love stealing the style of peoples nicknames

[tepid rock]

yes, that is what i have

[tepid rock]

is that under my mult function?

[red flower]

no, replace the entire calculate with that

[long urchin]

how does the card:set_sprites function work?

[cursive sentinel]

hi quick question, i have a message supposed to appear under my joker (like upgrade things) but it gets instead under the blueprint, and when i had the not context.blueprint the effect just doesn't happen

[glad osprey]

show

whats happening

[tepid rock]

Thank you, it just isnt doing mult now. Is that a different calc?

[red flower]

if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
    if not context.other_card:is_face() then
        if pseudorandom('vinyl') < (4 + G.GAME.probabilities.normal) / card.ability.extra.odds then
            return {

            }
        end
    end

[daring fern]

What is your code?

[cursive sentinel]

local spe = 0
            if card.ability.extra.moneyearned >= card.ability.extra.moneycap then
                spe = spe + 1
                if spe == 1 then
                    return{
                        message = 'EFFECT',
                        colour = G.C.MONEY,
                        card = card
                    }
                end
            end```

[tepid rock]

Thank you

[daring fern]

Is that your entire code?

[cursive sentinel]

no, the entire is:

if context.setting_blind then
            card.ability.extra.moneytrack = G.GAME.dollars
            card.ability.extra.moneyearned = 0
        end

        if G.GAME.blind.in_blind and card.ability.extra.moneytrack ~= G.GAME.dollars then
            if card.ability.extra.moneytrack < G.GAME.dollars then
                card.ability.extra.moneyearned = card.ability.extra.moneyearned + (G.GAME.dollars - card.ability.extra.moneytrack)
                card.ability.extra.moneytrack = G.GAME.dollars
            end
            
            if card.ability.extra.moneytrack > G.GAME.dollars then
                card.ability.extra.moneytrack = G.GAME.dollars
            end
            local spe = 0
            if card.ability.extra.moneyearned >= card.ability.extra.moneycap then
                spe = spe + 1
                if spe == 1 then
                    return{
                        message = 'EFFECT',
                        colour = G.C.MONEY,
                        card = card
                    }
                end
            end
        end

        if not context.blueprint then
            if card.ability.extra.moneyearned >= card.ability.extra.moneycap then
                local eval = function(card) return (card.ability.extra.moneyearned >= card.ability.extra.moneycap) end
                juice_card_until(card, eval, true)
            end
        end

        if context.joker_main then
            if card.ability.extra.moneyearned >= card.ability.extra.moneycap then
                return{
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
                }
            end
        end

        if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and context.main_eval then
            card.ability.extra.moneyearned = 0
        end```

within the calculate

when i put the return in the if with the jiggle effect, the messages shows on the right spot but

repeats on loop and i dont know to stop it

wether i put it before or after the local eval

[glad osprey]

whats the card supposed to do

[cursive sentinel]

x4 when player has earned 10 dollars at least during the blind

the effect itself functions

it's just the message popping that is wrong for now

when there is a blueprint

without blueprint it works just well

[glad osprey]

add not context.blueprint to the tracking context

[cursive sentinel]

already tried

[glad osprey]

blueprint should only be copying the actual xmult part

[cursive sentinel]

the effect doesnt show at all

[long urchin]

how does grabbing card sprite positions work? i tried local posx = card.config.center.sprite_pos.x but it said that sprite_pos was a nil value

[cursive sentinel]

tried again just now, effect doesnt show

[red flower]

what about .children.center.sprite_pos

[long urchin]

card.children.center.sprite_pos.x?

[red flower]

yeah

[glad osprey]

wrap everything that isn't the xmult part in a if not context.blueprint

[cursive sentinel]

oh and now i just noticed my jiggle adds on itself

[glad osprey]

so like the first line until the joker main

[cursive sentinel]

okay

[glad osprey]

also you don't need to define the card for messages

it should just default to the og card

also also it's message_card for messages

[tepid rock]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = {(4+ G.GAME.probabilities.normal), card.ability.extra.odds } }
    end,
    calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card)
        if context.setting_blind then
            if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
                if pseudorandom('cd') < (4 + G.GAME.probabilities.normal) / card.ability.extra.odds then
                    local bonus = card.ability.extra.money
                    if bonus > 0 then return bonus end
                end
            end
        end
    end

hopefully a quick one

[cursive sentinel]

so message_card = 'effect' ?

[glad osprey]

there is no context in calc dollar bonus

[glad osprey]

no messag_card = card

[cursive sentinel]

instead of card = card?

[glad osprey]

ya

[cursive sentinel]

ok, also an idea on why the jiggle effect would add into itself?

[wintry solar]

card = card doesn’t do anything at all

[cursive sentinel]

i just saw it somewhere and used it..

[tepid rock]

calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card, context)
        if context.setting_blind then
            if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
                if pseudorandom('cd') < (4 + G.GAME.probabilities.normal) / card.ability.extra.odds then
                    local bonus = card.ability.extra.money
                    if bonus > 0 then return bonus end
                end
            end
        end
    end
``` changed to this and still got the error

[glad osprey]

you aren't checking if its already juiced up

[glad osprey]

there still is no context in bonus

[cursive sentinel]

ok now works well

[tepid rock]

oh like in general?

[glad osprey]

yes

[cursive sentinel]

putting it all into the no context blueprint fixed also the juice

[tepid rock]

so would it be calculate = function?

[glad osprey]

you just return how much money you wanna give

[glad osprey]

yes

[tepid rock]

easy, thank you

[long urchin]

how do you hide a card from collection view

[glad osprey]

no_collection = true

iirc

[long urchin]

ty

[cursive sentinel]

ok the juice actually works well but as soon as i select playign card it accelerates

or plays multiple times on itself

is rly weird

[glad osprey]

make sure you don't apply the juice up more than once

[cursive sentinel]

how do i?

[glad osprey]

add config that turns true when you juice it up

then check if that is true

then set it to false when you reset the money earned

[opal holly]

it's done

[cursive sentinel]

im not sure i understand ^^;

[long urchin]

how do i flip over a card

[glad osprey]

:flip() iirc

[long urchin]

is it card:flip() or self:flip()

[glad osprey]

card

always card

[cursive sentinel]

i dont rly understand what it is supposed to do

[glad osprey]

Basically set a variable that won't allow you to juice it up after you juice it up

[cursive sentinel]

ahh so i put an if as a condition of the juice

okok

[glad osprey]

yes

[cursive sentinel]

will try that thanks

[glad osprey]

Just make sure you reset the var when the juice up condition is false

[hard needle]

Is it possible to check whether a joker has a certain edition

[glad osprey]

and also make sure it's part of the config and not a local var

[glad osprey]

if card.edition and card.edition.<key>

[hard needle]

hmm okey i'll try that

[tepid rock]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.setting_blind then
            if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
                if pseudorandom('cd') < (4 + G.GAME.probabilities.normal) / card.ability.extra.odds then
                    ease_dollars(card.ability.extra.dollars)
                    G.GAME.dollar_buffer = (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0) + card.ability.extra.dollars
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = (function() G.GAME.dollar_buffer = 0; return true end)}))
                    return {
                        message = localize('$')..card.ability.extra.dollars,
                        dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars,
                        colour = G.C.MONEY
                    }
                end
            end
        end
    end

not giving money (using oops to guarantee it)

[glad osprey]

you still need to use calc_dollar_whtv to give the money

calc just let's you set how much

[red flower]

context.setting_blind and context.repetition don't occur at the same time

[glad osprey]

if you want it to give money like golden joker

[red flower]

also you dont need both ease_dollars and return { dollars =

[tepid rock]

so would that be a calc in a calc

[glad osprey]

no

[lavish lake]

How to draw planet cards?

[glad osprey]

separate funcs

[tepid rock]

that is stolen from to do list t bh

[tepid rock]

how would I make them interact?

[glad osprey]

what are you trying to accomplish

[cursive sentinel]

Doing it like this makes the jiggle not happening (on context.end_of_round i set shake back to 0)

if card.ability.extra.moneyearned >= card.ability.extra.moneycap and shake == 0 then
                local eval = function(card) return (card.ability.extra.moneyearned >= card.ability.extra.moneycap) end
                juice_card_until(card, eval, true)
                shake = 1
            end```

[glad osprey]

ability.extra

[tepid rock]

5 in 6 chance for $10

at start of blind

[red flower]

it doesnt return dollars
just do one or the other

[glad osprey]

oh in that case

just if setting_blind then
check probability
return {dollars = 4}

calc_dollars is just for giving money during cashout

[tepid rock]

oh, gotcha

[glad osprey]

@cursive sentinel

[tepid rock]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.setting_blind then
            if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
                if pseudorandom('cd') < (4 + G.GAME.probabilities.normal) / card.ability.extra.odds then
                    return {dollars = 10}
                end
            end
        end
    end
``` like this?

[cursive sentinel]

its in config and not in loc vars

[tepid rock]

cus that aint working

[red flower]

remove if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then

[glad osprey]

you don't need context.rep

[glad osprey]

you are checking a global variable

it's supposed to be card.ability.extra.shake

not just shake :4

[cursive sentinel]

ah so i put it in loc vars?

[glad osprey]

No

in config

[cursive sentinel]

in config i name it shake but then call it c.a.e.shake?

will work?

[glad osprey]

{extra = {shake = false}}

[glad osprey]

ya

[cursive sentinel]

alright!

[glad osprey]

also you can have bools in config

[tepid rock]

thank you. wouldnt possibly know how to fix this?

    loc_txt = {
        name = 'CD',
        text = {
            "{C:green}#1# in #2#{} chance earn",
            "{C:money}$#3#{} at end of round"
        }
    },
    config = {extra = {odds = 6, money = 10}},
    rarity = 1,
    --sprite location
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    cost = 4,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = {(4+ G.GAME.probabilities.normal), card.ability.extra.odds } }
    end,

[glad osprey]

you aren't returning a third number

you ar only returning prob and odds

lol

[tepid rock]

so would it be {C:money}$#2#{} at end of round?

[cursive sentinel]

didn't know, im rly new with lua,,, thanks for all your help! will try what you said to me rn

[glad osprey]

how the hell do people do this every day

[tepid rock]

painfully

[glad osprey]

no that would be the probability

[south lintel]

how do I check if a joker is or is not in my lineup? I made a joker that loses or gains value if I have it in the shop and I don't want it to do that

[glad osprey]

you need to add smth to the return func in loc vars

[glad osprey]

context.cardarea = G.jokers

[red flower]

next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key"))

[maiden phoenix]

Wait your desc says you give money at the end of round but you give the money when the blind is set?

[red flower]

oh i just understood what u meant nvm

[tepid rock]

cus prototyping

[glad osprey]

we really need to pay teachers more im just now realizing

[south lintel]

facts

[glad osprey]

this is almost worse than customer service lmao

[tepid rock]

     loc_txt = {
        name = 'CD',
        text = {
            "{C:green}#1# in #2#{} chance earn",

    end,

[glad osprey]

close

[wintry solar]

Teaching is easier than helping this chat

[cursive sentinel]

The effect doesnt play as is

if card.ability.extra.moneyearned >= card.ability.extra.moneycap and card.ability.extra.shake == false then
                local eval = function(card) return (card.ability.extra.moneyearned >= card.ability.extra.moneycap) end
                juice_card_until(card, eval, true)
                card.ability.extra.shake = true
            end

            if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and context.main_eval then

                if card.ability.extra.shake == true then

what kids are you around?

[tepid rock]

What am i missing?

[wintry solar]

I teach 10/11 year olds

[glad osprey]

not money = 10

[tepid rock]

gotcha, misclock

[glad osprey]

me when i missed my clock

[tepid rock]

that makes sense

teach primary school

[vague helm]

I will thank but not apologize for asking questions. 🙂 Got 30 / 34 Jokers implemented by RTFM. That said, I don't think that this behavior is possible. Then again, I didn't know that custom sorting was possible. Thoughts?

[tepid rock]

Thank you, works now

[glad osprey]

remove the check for shake and add a print for c.a.e.shake

[lavish lake]

Uhh... I don't think you are able to make that without making a lot of jokers obsolete

[daring fern]

How do I make a seal say different things if it's on a playing card or a joker?

[glad osprey]

technically anything is possible if you hate yourself enough

[glad osprey]

how tf are you putting a seal on a joker

[daring fern]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1355819401198178455

[glad osprey]

ah

understandable

[tepid rock]

I would assume its just the ones that arent affected by cards

[glad osprey]

look at how cryptid does it for its stickers

they have different text depending on if they are on a joker or pack

[cursive sentinel]

ok it is set true, but it is set tru 4 times each time i select a card

[vague helm]

I don't know if completely modifying the scoring lifecycle is something that is possible without monkeypatching so much of the codebase.

[radiant hearth]

hi how to get started with modding

[vague helm]

I meant to reply to this message

[maiden phoenix]

I swear i'm older than that

[shell timber]

oh you could probably do that?

[glad osprey]

hi, dont

[shell timber]

but it would be very incompatible

[red flower]

probably not, also it will mess up with any joker that requires the contexts to be run in order

[modern kindle]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1349064230825103441

[radiant hearth]

why ?

[glad osprey]

pain

[vague helm]

Let's pretend for a second that the capability was rephrased to say "Jokers placed before this one are triggered before hand is scored". Let's forget the implications for the gameplay. Is this something that is remotely reasonable to do?

[radiant hearth]

thats okay, you have made a balatro mod ?

[glad osprey]

yes

[shell timber]

that'd be even harder to add

[glad osprey]

also i was joking about the dont

[radiant hearth]

can you send link ?

[wintry solar]

What does this even mean?

[vague helm]

Checking positions is pretty easy.

[glad osprey]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1344877887982931968

[glad osprey]

first of all see how balatro actually does its scoring

and check how it does cards then jokers

[vague helm]

For example, if Green Joker was before this, it would add Green Joker's mult before scoring the hand. So, if you have something like Photograph, it would also XMult that base mult instead of adding the base mult at the end.

[glad osprey]

if your lucky they are two seperate funcs that you could be swapped around

i doubt they are tho

[wintry solar]

So you just want the joker main of the left jokers to happen before the playing cards are evaluated?

[vague helm]

All of the logic seems to be in calculate_joker. I would have to effectively modify the context dynamically. Sounds like chaos.

[vague helm]

Yes

[red flower]

isnt it in evaluate_play

[cursive sentinel]

i dont understand why it is set true multiple times upon selecting cards where it is at no point a condition in my code, i dont even refer to selecting cards

[wintry solar]

I mean it’s not going to be easy to do and it will cause countless bugs for other jokers, but I suppose it’s doable

[shell timber]

yeah this effect would have to mess with evaluate play to the point where it becomes incompatible with a bunch of other mods

[glad osprey]

you arent checking for a context so any context triggers it

[red flower]

because youre not checking for contexts so it gets run in every single one

[cursive sentinel]

oh right

[glad osprey]

also you prob dont have to do the shake

[cursive sentinel]

design wise?

[glad osprey]

ya

[cursive sentinel]

cuz loyalty card does so i just thought as a conditional mult joker i could

[glad osprey]

similar things like card sharp or dusk dont

[cursive sentinel]

although acrobat doesnt, so you're maybe right

[glad osprey]

yea it seems very inconsistant

[cursive sentinel]

welp i'll stick with the proc effect, you're right

thank you a lot for your help !

[glad osprey]

ill be here all day

regrettably

[vague helm]

I agree. Just trying to go through the remaining Jokers in the modpack I'm working on (ideas are not mine, but I love most of them) and see what is unfeasible / where to start. Here's the next one I'm stuck on. Not sure how I'd begin. I know how to insert a card once, but I'm not sure how I could do this repeatedly.

[shell timber]

you could do this by patching the spawn playing card method

if the source is from the shop

[glad osprey]

yea

look at how death copys cards too

[vague helm]

As I think this through, perhaps it'd be better, and it's certainly easier, to rewrite as "Each shop contains a copy of a random card from your deck"

[wintry solar]

By each shop you mean every time you reroll?

[vague helm]

Let's bookmark that for a second. I wanted to revisit something else. I'm assuming it's not too hard to make custom jokers include reference to other types of cards like we have here with "Gold Card"?

[vague helm]

Each shop, but perhaps I can look into reroll as well

[glad osprey]

no thats easy

[vague helm]

Do you have an example?

[glad osprey]

loc_vars

infoqueue[#1116390750314307698queue+1] = card ref

[vague helm]

Exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[tall wharf]

am i stupid

i fucking laughed at my own joke

[glad osprey]

yes

question how do i make a joker become another joker

[daring fern]

card:set_ability('j_prefix_jokerkey')

[glad osprey]

coolio

and now, i am become helper, destroyer of bugs

[tall wharf]

idk i just destroy and create a new joker

[glad osprey]

crazy

someone already answered

[vague helm]

I'm assuming there's a way to create a custom one without creating a new Joker, edition, etc? This gives an error: info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {name='Test'} - additionally, I'm not sure how I can reference "stickers" (Ex. Eternal)

[tall wharf]

😭

sorry

cabnt hel;p

[glad osprey]

something to do with localization files

also idk how to ref stickers either

[cyan lagoon]

question how do i check if played hand has only one suit without it being a flush?

[glad osprey]

go through each card and see if its suit matches the first one checked

then just if poker hand ~= flush

[cyan lagoon]

yea,

how do i do that?

i got the ~= flush part

the other i've been at it for like 5 hours

[tall wharf]

so

< 5 cards

but is flush

[cyan lagoon]

no

pait, two pair, 3oak with every card of the same suit

like that

[tall wharf]

so like

if the same suit appears on 5 cards or more it's a flush

so you want flush but less than 5 cards

idk

i think you just not next(context.poker_hands['Flush'])

[glad osprey]

 if (function ()
            local test = G.play.cards[1].suit--[[i dont remember how to access the suits change that to the correct thing]]
            for _,card in ipairs(G.play.cards) do
                
                if card.suit ~= test then return false end
                
                
            end
            return true
        end)()

[south lintel]

why doesn't this work? I want the joker to trigger on buying something when it is in my joker area, but it also triggers when I buy it, and I don't want it to do that, and I thought the ~= self would fix that

[tall wharf]

wait so

it's gonna be so hard to activate

[glad osprey]

~= card should work

also make sure thats the correct index

[south lintel]

I'll check, thanks

[cyan lagoon]

i just want an effect that relies on every card being of the same suit but not being a flush

[glad osprey]

i think it should be context.buying_card and context.card ~= card

idk tho i cant look rn

[tall wharf]

[tall wharf]

buying card is jank

i think it activates when buying self

only self

[glad osprey]

@cyan lagoon

[tall wharf]

idk

[south lintel]

nah it works when buying other stuff too

[tall wharf]

i was gonna say hook to some button click stuff

[south lintel]

that fixed it, thanks

[cyan lagoon]

i'll try it

[tall wharf]

ok apparently i am stupid

[cyan lagoon]

where do i put it tho

[vague helm]

Very close. I added this to the localization file:

, Custom = { c_food = { name = 'Food Joker', text = { 'Test test test' } } }

Then:

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = { key = 'c_food', set = 'Custom' }

Problem: Title loads, but text doesn't

[tall wharf]

you'll need to patch the code

™️

or put everything in Other

[glad osprey]

same if as the not flush check

[tall wharf]

ok i am not being helpful ill leave this chat as it is

[vague helm]

This is in my localization file for my mod. Clearly, part of it's loading

[hushed field]

Main thing is that you'll wanna avoid c as a prefix, just in case other mods don't check for a set, but for the prefix, at some point

[tall wharf]

it doesn't show up

because

[glad osprey]

localthunk

[tall wharf]

the code doesn't actually show it

[glad osprey]

always blame localthunk
