[tall wharf]

you'll need to patch the code so it shows

[vague helm]

I'll change to the name of the modpack

[tall wharf]

i just do this

[hushed field]

Also, you can only pass objects with a generate ui to info_queue that way, I think.

Lm grab how I pass along glossary items for Kino, which are objectless description

[tall wharf]

still won't show if your set isn't in game code

p sure

[vague helm]

The box is there, just not the text. That's what's surprising to me

[tall wharf]

i just said what needed to be done 😭

[glad osprey]

question is why do you need the tooltip

[hushed field]

https://github.com/icyethics/Kino/blob/main/items/Jokers/asteroid_city.lua

I mean, no reason to create a custom set honestly. I just bundle everything in other, like vanilla does

[tall wharf]

patch somewhere in common_events.lua inside function generate_card_ui(_c, full_UI_table, specific_vars, card_type, badges, hide_desc, main_start, main_end)

[vague helm]

"Patch the code" is not useful advice

[glad osprey]

patch the code

[vague helm]

I was going to replace the list of Jokers with "Food Joker" so it's not as long of a description

[glad osprey]

try

throwing the def into the joker localization lmao

[hushed field]

Just use other as the set. Plenty of mods do it, for glossary reasons. Kino, JoyousSpring, Cryptid, etc.

[tall wharf]

or that

if you use custom set you'll need to patch the code

[hushed field]

Defining a custom set isn't necessary when there's a set explicitly for various additional items

[glad osprey]

yea no do what they are saying

[vague helm]

Yes, using Other works. I don't know why it wouldn't work with a different set, but who cares. Thanks!

[hushed field]

I think JoyousSpring does add its own set, but that's for separate reasons. The other thing you can do is just create a dummy object. I do that for Spells

[glad osprey]

because localthunk

[tall wharf]

-# (i just said why it doesn't work)

[hushed field]

Sets are predetermined, they're not a simple key that gets indexed. Aiko's explanation for it is why, basically, haha

[tall wharf]

generate_card_ui function only accounts for sets that exists in the base game

so if you want to display custom sets

you'll have to patch that function

[hushed field]

It has to do with the set type determining whether variable passing is possible or not

Or whether an item has a name or not

[glad osprey]

because localthunk also works

[tall wharf]

i mean i got this working

if you wanna steal the patching code it is https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/main/lovely/localization.toml

here

[vague helm]

I was looking for the path of least resistance. I have it by using "Other". We're good. Thanks!

[tall wharf]

👍

that is fine

just make sure you have decently unique prefix

[red flower]

i dont think i do

[hushed field]

I should update the Kino prefix I'm using in the other set away from 'k_' and to something that isn't a letter in the alphabet

[tall wharf]

you can just use kino?

[red flower]

🔥_modprefix_key

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-elmos-fire-elmo-fire-fire-yas-gif-15688311340577229287

[hushed field]

Yeah, I should just see if a find and replace all covers all of it, haha

[primal robin]

My "small qol mod" now 4000 lines in total

@red flower

[glad osprey]

nah they wouldnt know anything about that

[red flower]

that's true

[tall wharf]

omg

[modern kindle]

i dont even think N has read his own mod yet

[tall wharf]

i feel like squidguset is popular here

😭

[glad osprey]

those robot children i hate:

[modern kindle]

those robot children that i ate:

[tall wharf]

these are placeholder art 😭

[limber blaze]

you should keep that as the art its peak

[glad osprey]

make it its own rarity

[tall wharf]

programmer art

[glad osprey]

sketch jokers

[tall wharf]

just got the most time consuming idea from this message

[glad osprey]

your welcome

[tall wharf]

i redraw game art

[limber blaze]

i wish i had the capability to use programmer art but i just obsess over making it exactly perfect before the code is even there

[tall wharf]

put it in as joker

[shell timber]

idea for sketch art

make the base randomly generated out of like 4 segments

[glad osprey]

i just got a different idea for a joker that you can just customize yourself

like

draw

and set its ability

maybe not draw but def the second

[tall wharf]

draw your own joker

[glad osprey]

blank joker

[tall wharf]

you get to draw a joker

[hushed field]

I was playing some Megaman Battle Network a few days back, and having a customizable joker that works like how the perks in that series work would be interesting, though way too much fucking effort

[glad osprey]

nah

itd be easy

just

have the calculate check for context[option]

easy

easy

[shell timber]

My Awesome Joker

[glad osprey]

so easy

[hushed field]

i mean, gameplay wise it's doable for sure. I've got some jokers that work similar to that system

[tall wharf]

my awesome blinds

[hushed field]

But actually making a joker with customizable elements that you can touch in the art, that's quite the challenge

[glad osprey]

maybe like

you get to pick the hat, the face, stuff like that

[tall wharf]

🔥

[glad osprey]

from prepicked options

[red flower]

i bought both collections on release and still haven't played them..

[wintry solar]

wtf is this

[glad osprey]

*plays half joker*

[hushed field]

I have intense nostalgia for them. the combat system is a favorite of mine, though I'd always play those games with a guide because the story's fucking whack and the level design's whacker

[shell timber]

incredibly devious with negative antes

[tall wharf]

i would like to direct you to https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Aikoyori's_Shenanigans/Boss_Blinds

[wintry solar]

Oh it’s in negative antes

[glad osprey]

oooooh

[wintry solar]

How does scaling work in negative?

[glad osprey]

neat

[tall wharf]

it's all 100

for base

[glad osprey]

it doesnt

[wintry solar]

Yeah thought so

[tall wharf]

so this is devious :P

[shell timber]

i think at one point i tried to make it the inverse of the positive ante

[primal robin]

No way it's working, even without localization file..

[wintry solar]

I was gonna say, that blind would basically just be “lose the game” upon encountering it

[wintry solar]

A custom tooltip?

[tall wharf]

real

[primal robin]

Kinda

[tall wharf]

UI pros at work

[red flower]

I'm a UI con

[tall wharf]

i hate this shit every time i see it

[wintry solar]

Why not use the built in version?

[primal robin]

Which one?

[shell timber]

ever again is devious

[wintry solar]

tooltip or detailed_tooltip

I don’t remember which one actually works or what the difference is

I think it’s detailed_tooltip

[primal robin]

It requires a center

I don't have center

[glad osprey]

If i encountered this id sue you for hate crimes

[primal robin]

And also it relies on localization file, which I don't have and not really planning to add

[glad osprey]

make one then

[rapid stag]

can mod config store a table?

[tall wharf]

😭

wdymmmmm

[wintry solar]

I don’t think it relies on anything

You just give it some text

[shell timber]

anyways this joker is out now

[rapid stag]

so it won't explode if i try to store information i intend on staying persistent in a table in mod config

[shell timber]

but it's likely to get updated sometime

[weak brook]

code wizards i once again ask for your help!
I've got a cardsauce card that has this concept for an ability but i'm stumped as to how to implement it. the idea isnt too complicated but figuring out how to implement it into the scoring logic is hard since this isnt something that can be done normally. i made this diagram to showcase the idea. any thoughts on how best to do this?

[shell timber]

you'd have to patch evaluate_play

[weak brook]

yeah i know that much but figuring out exactly how is tricky for me since im not used to coding in there

like all the contexts and stuff

[hushed field]

I've tried to set up that exact effect for Tenet as a joker, and you'd have to set up evaluate play to basically trigger twice, but flipping the order of the table for the second round. I remember running into a whole lot of bugs with it, but that's also because I wasn't comfortable with SMODS yet, so I'm not sure if that's an actual warning to heed, haha

[wintry solar]

I think you can hook SMODS.get_card_areas to do that actually

[hushed field]

oh yeah, I guess you could just make a card area that has the exact cards that play has in it, but in reverse order 🤔 That'd also solve the trigger order issues

[wintry solar]

Just a dummy table would be fine

[tall wharf]

hmmmm

[shell timber]

oh that'd work probably

[hushed field]

i keep forgetting that card areas in that function don't need to be actual card areas

[south lintel]

how would I check if I am not inside the shop?

[glad osprey]

tetoris

[shell timber]

oh the joker text in japanese is neat

[tall wharf]

this one is also in japanese

[weak brook]

i think i get what you're laying out here, but i dunno if that fits exactly for the idea here. i wanna make sure that the additional triggers here are actually retriggers and not normal evaluations

[paper zealot]

4000 lines of pure Life Quality

[weak brook]

that way certain jokers dont interact with it again

[tall wharf]

this one also is but you can barely tell

[hushed field]

I think you'd be able to patch in a check to see if it's on the reverse path, and then make sure those count as retriggers

[tall wharf]

and also these two

[open aspen]

guys, should adding cards to G.game.banned_keys make stuff like the soul not pick them?

normally?

[fickle stag]

is there a way to just force restart the game

[shell timber]

hold m

[fickle stag]

uh

the function

D:

[hushed field]

me when I'm Texas

[daring fern]

SMODS.restart_game()

[open aspen]

im gonna do testing in completely vanilla balatro actually

[fickle stag]

thanks :D

[hushed field]

Is this for Playsets, rocket?

[tall wharf]

btw i do also try to make the joker text fit the actual card itself

[wintry solar]

Yeah youd have to patch the repetition function to not work in your fake area then

I think that would achieve what you want

[weak brook]

ok to start im trying this but i must have done something wrong cause now the game just crashes when trying to load a run

[tepid crow]

there's also alt+f5 now btw

[wintry solar]

I’d specify the type too btw

[tall wharf]

what the fuck real

[weak brook]

did i not do that?

thought i did

[wintry solar]

And youd need to format your “area” correctly and add it to t

[weak brook]

oh yeah

[glad osprey]

theres also alt f4

[wintry solar]

Sorry not type, context

I don’t remember if everything is passed the context though

[tepid crow]

there's also just the power button on your pc if you want 🙃

[wintry solar]

It might not be necesssary

[glad osprey]

you could also flip the breaker to your computer

[tall wharf]

there's a breaker

for your house

[glad osprey]

stolen joke

[tall wharf]

actually just cut the fucking wire to your house

👍

or just

work as a nuclear scientist and make a small mistake

I'm sure they won't mind

[weak brook]

    Local variables:
     _type = string: "jokers"
     _context = nil
     t = table: 0x3e4d62a8  {1:table: 0x3e6a30b8, 2:table: 0x3de148b8, 3:table: 0x3e111f88}
     (*temporary) = C function: next
(1698) Lua field 'find_card' at Steamodded file 'src/utils.lua:346' 
    Local variables:

     count_debuffed = nil
     results = table: 0x3e4d6280  {}
     (*temporary) = C function: ipairs

[tall wharf]

actually just

[weak brook]

no crash screen but i get this spammed in the log

until the game closes

[tall wharf]

become eggman

[glad osprey]

literally 1984

[weak brook]

not sure what the deal is there

[tall wharf]

😛

[tepid crow]

the automatic content block is weird on this server ngl

there's variants of fuck you can say, and variations you can't

[tall wharf]

true

still ..

[glad osprey]

CHICKEN JOCKEY!

[glad osprey]

try turning off too many jokers and see if that fixes the nil

[tepid crow]

what if SMODS.find_card uses SMODS.get_card_areas

[weak brook]

oh

yeah that makes sense

though it seems like this is hard to filter seeing as most of the times get_card_areas is called it doesnt pass context

[tepid crow]

(a stacktrace with 1000+ entries should've hinted at that)

if you swap the order of the if you might not infinite loop?

[weak brook]

ok i'll try that

[tepid crow]

since SMODS.find_card calls SMODS.get_card_areas with _type = "jokers"*

[weak brook]

ok yeah there we go

no crashing but now i just need to figure out how to actually get the retriggers going even if they arent technically retriggers

[valid trench]

why is my lovely script just not loading

Like I have no idea anymore why it's just not replacing that line

I have tested manually replacing that line does work as intended

[tepid crow]

check the dump?

[glad osprey]

is
the pattern correct
the formatting correct
the path correfct

[valid trench]

I think?

functions/common_events.lua is the correct file

[south lintel]

so this doesn't work, why? I don't really understand how to work with hooks

[valid trench]

my plain is to replace the numbers with some variables that are saved to the run and just make them 1, 0.95, and 0.7 respectively so effectly it will change nothing but other jokers/vouchers can edit them easier

[glad osprey]

did you save the file
do you just have a skill issue
have you considered shutting it off and on again

[daring fern]

You know context.starting_shop exists?

[south lintel]

it does? fuck me sideways

[glad osprey]

no thanks

[weak brook]

last i checked that did not exist

[valid trench]

yes

[daring fern]

undocumented functions

[weak brook]

oh wow it does exist

neat

i can optomize one of the cardsauce jokers with that

[south lintel]

okay but I want to check if I'm in the shop without having it inside the joker code

[glad osprey]

G.STATE == G.STATES.shop i think

[red flower]

SHOP uppercase iirc

[valid trench]

oh I included too many quotes I think

[weak brook]

this just aint working man

[south lintel]

alright, thank you

[hushed field]

I feel your pain, haha. Is it giving crashes, or just not doing what you want it to do?

[valid trench]

nope

nvm It just doesn't match with the line even though it's right there

[weak brook]

im kinda confused by these TARGET comments like are these meant to be used as targets for lovely patches? cuz i thought you couldnt lovely patch outside of vanilla balatros files

[shell timber]

you can i thinj

[hushed field]

You can! They're lovely patch targets, yeah

[weak brook]

how the hell do you do that

[hushed field]

It's a bit of an awkward formatting. I have it in Kino, but not at my pc right now, so I can't check until later

[weak brook]

thanks

[hushed field]

N to the rescue

[weak brook]

i'm gonna try using that to add to the get_card_areas but something tells me its not gonna work well either

[valid trench]

it's saying there's no match

[red flower]

you need to match the whole line

[south lintel]

alright that does not work

[red flower]

or use regex

[valid trench]

oh lol

[glad osprey]

capitalize shop

[south lintel]

I did

[glad osprey]

G.STATES.SHOP

hmmmm

[valid trench]

thanks

[placid star]

can anyone tell why my code isnt working? id hoped for my joker to kill the joker next to it and gain half of its sell value as Xmult but it doesnt kill the joker or gain Xmult

[fickle stag]

is there a reliable way to detect when you game over and automatically restart 😭

[red flower]

the if is never going to be true youre comparing a string with a card

[fickle stag]

i tried G.STATES.GAME_OVER

[glad osprey]

did you G.STATE == G.STATES.GAME_OVER

[fickle stag]

right

[daring fern]

You need to remove .config.center.key from the check.

[red flower]

having so many "at" patches worries me

[thin anchor]

evil ass code joker

[weak brook]

crashing is completely gone but now this just does nothing
https://i.imgur.com/6tPgaAY.png

[hushed field]

At which point is the code still Balatro code?

[red flower]

im going to end up remaking master duel in lua

[glad osprey]

how do i A make a blueprint joker and B apply a shader to a joker

[hard needle]

Is this too situational or nah

[rapid stag]

let's say i want to add an SMODS.Achievement. how often is check_for_unlock called?
do i have to add more calls

[glad osprey]

maybe just has an edition?

then like an extra +1 xmult if negative

[glad osprey]

very often

its the same thing used for unlocking decks and jokers and such

[daring fern]

42 times.

[hard needle]

the only way to get editions from jokers is wheel of fortune, that one spectral card and getting lucky in shop right

[glad osprey]

ya

excluding other mods

[hard needle]

someone got hacked xD

[glad osprey]

k

[hard needle]

they're even learning how to hyperlink too

[glad osprey]

slowest takedown ive seen yet

[hard needle]

@glad osprey what about I make it X2 Mult and any edition

[glad osprey]

ya

and then maybe add +1 xmult for negative if you wanna keep the og idea

[rapid stag]

do you know off the top of your head if there's a check_for_unlock call either at the end of or directly following add_joker() (in functions/common_events.lua)

[glad osprey]

believe there is

maybe

[rapid stag]

...wait why am i patching this i should just hook it

[glad osprey]

yea

[weak brook]

@wintry solar i've got to this point, no more crashing but it just doesnt work for some reason. https://i.imgur.com/igb7aSJ.png

[daring fern]

There is not.

[glad osprey]

bump

[daring fern]

B: using the draw function.

[red flower]

SMODS.blueprint_effect

[rapid stag]

wait, add_joker() doesn't do what i think it does. what handles creating new jokers in the shop?

[red flower]

create_card_for_shop

[glad osprey]

docs link pls

[red flower]

lmao

lol even

[rapid stag]

undocumented smods functionality

[hard needle]

smods needs proper docs 😭

[daring fern]

undocumented functions

[red flower]

i only know about it because ive seen eremel mention it when he added it, ive never used it

[glad osprey]

@wintry solar stop teaching children and document this

[wintry solar]

Should be type = playing cards I think

[weak brook]

oh yeah

how'd i miss that

lets see what that does

hmm no still nothing

[wintry solar]

It’s here

[glad osprey]

ty 🙏

[wintry solar]

That might be scuffed I don’t remember

It was hastily written in my notes to remind me to add it properly to the new docs

[weak brook]

tbh im confused in doing this cause idk if this is actually what im looking for
like im not sure what differences this code will make in game cause im looking for the reverse scoring that i documented in the graphic i made and

thats just not happening

just normal hands being scored normally

[hasty mist]

bump

[glad osprey]

check if the card your bp'ing is blueprint and if so auto false it

also pls share the code i am making that exact joker rn lol

[hasty mist]

im new to modding, not sure how to do that

[glad osprey]

oh wait yea old bp i should check that

[red flower]

idk if it's discord but this formatting is very cursed

[hasty mist]

def discord

[rapid stag]

blueprint_compat is purely cosmetic.
blueprint calls calculate(). to prevent blueprint from copying your joker, include context.blueprint_card == nil as part of your checks for things that you don't want blueprint copying

[wintry solar]

I can take a look when I’m back home later, I definitely think this is the way to go about it though

[red flower]

you dont need == nil

[weak brook]

that would be SUPER helpful, thanks

[thin anchor]

how would i force a card to have a sticker

[rapid stag]

...that would invert the condition

[daring fern]

not context.blueprint

[rapid stag]

alternatively could do not context.blueprint yeah

[red flower]

yeah, use not

== nil is not necessary unless you explicitly want to make it distinct from false

[rapid stag]

fair

[placid star]

so my game is crashing on 331...

[hasty mist]

hm i'm lost

i'm new to coding so this is a bit confusing

[hushed field]

I think you can force it on when a card is created, or you can do it by hooking the create_card func

[hushed field]

self doesn't have an ability

you wanna use card

[red flower]

can i see your whole calculate function

[soft echo]

sorry if this is a dumb question but how do i check what suit a card is during calculation? (i'm having a hard time understanding the documentation)

[thin anchor]

alternatively
how would i check if a card doesnt have a sticker

[rapid stag]

can i see your joker's calculate function

[red flower]

knew it, it should be calculate = function(self, card, context)

[hasty mist]

i sent the txt file a bit earlier

[rapid stag]

.base.suit

[hasty mist]

here

[placid star]

omg im always switching around my params

[rapid stag]

if you don't have a reference to the card, it's usually context.other_card

[soft echo]

would it be card.base.suit == "hearts"?

[daring fern]

Stone cards still have this value.

[rapid stag]

oh right stone card

and some jokers

hm

[hushed field]

yes! You'll wanna check for smods.has_no_suit and smods.has_any_suit as well, but honestly, depending on the case, you most likely wanna do it by checking the suit against every suit in the game, and seeing if it's true, rather than grabbing the suit from the item

[rapid stag]

wrap everything in your calculate()
in if not context.blueprint then [your code here] end

[rapid stag]

that feels a bit much. can't they just do :is_suit("Hearts") after the SMODS.has_no_suit() & SMODS.has_any_suit() and use the bool they get from that? why would they need to iterate through each suit

[wintry solar]

It depends on what they need

[hushed field]

Fully depends on the goal

if you just wanna know if it's a Hearts, you can just grab that

as is_suit does the checks as part of its function

[soft echo]

i'm just trying to check if a card of hearts is in hand

[hushed field]

but if you wanna, for example, compare the suits of two cards, you'd have to iterate through all possible suits (which might include modded ones)

[hushed field]

then, you'd use :is_suit("Hearts") and you're all set! No need for extra functions either!

[thin anchor]

is this correct?

[red flower]

if you want infinite money yes

[hushed field]

this'd crash because the calc function would be called by the back, and the back doesn't have a rarity

[thin anchor]

oh

how would i check the rarity of the jokers then?

[wintry solar]

It won’t crash

[hasty mist]

that seems to have worked, tysm!

[wintry solar]

It’ll just do nothing

[hushed field]

Oh yeah, because they do have a center

it's not trying to index

[red flower]

doesnt number + nil crash tho

[wintry solar]

I don’t think so

But it also might so

Either way, it doesn’t work

[hushed field]

But yeah, you also don't wanna use calculate, there is a specific function for payouts

[hushed field]

you also never really wanna use self in a calculate function

[daring fern]

Replace card with back

[wintry solar]

What’s the actual intended effect? Give money based on each jokers rarity in the cash out screen?

[thin anchor]

yes

[rapid stag]

do you want your joker to be able to copy other copies of itself, though? because that would require a different approach

[glad osprey]

what would this red colour (ff0000) be in terms of shader vecters

nvrm got it

[hasty mist]

yeah, that's what i'm trying to accomplish

[rapid stag]

in which case, you could, in your joker code where you create the blueprint context for the calculate call, do something like
context.blueprint.fromRight = true
and then in the if statement at the start, make it not context.blueprint or (context.blueprint and context.blueprint.fromRight)

that should allow it to copy itself

[glad osprey]

how would i make a shader that only applies to the red part

ive done this but the red keeps showing up from it bleeding into other colours

[rapid stag]

...what you could do, and this is a little bit hacky, but
make the middle part that you want to be different transparent - and make that entire graphic the soul graphic.
then do your funky stuff including shader as the base graphic instead

it'll probably be a bit weird, but that might be the effect you're after

[glad osprey]

only issue with that is that the soul does the funny move thingy

[rapid stag]

only in the opposite direction of the normal graphic and slightly out of sync.

[tall wharf]

fixed

[hasty mist]

I'm having trouble figuring out where to put the first one

[rapid stag]

after

context.blueprint_card = context.blueprint_card or card```

[thin anchor]

uhm

[hasty mist]

results in a crash

[rapid stag]

...oh, right it's a number

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[tepid crow]

why are you decreasing context.blueprint

[rapid stag]

no, my bad, i gave them bad code

[rapid stag]

ok, instead of context.blueprint.fromRight just do context.fromRight
and then after

context.blueprint = nil
context.blueprint_card = nil

do context.fromRight = nil

[tepid crow]

you don't have to make it that complicated

[tepid crow]

as long as this question gets answered, at least

[rapid stag]

the premise of the question is flawed

they wanna make a version of blueprint that does to the left without crashing on a normal blueprint, but is able to copy instances of itself

[tepid crow]

yeah I saw that part

that doesn't answer my question

[hasty mist]

alright, now it can copy itself, but crashes with normal blueprint again

[tepid crow]

context.blueprint is an internal counter that's supposed to stop infinite loops

why are you decreasing it

[rapid stag]

they're not decreasing context.blueprint. i told them to do something that attempts to interact with it as thought it were a table

wait

[tepid crow]

they are

[rapid stag]

oh, so they are

[hasty mist]

wait

i think i see

[rapid stag]

yeah, decreasing context.blueprint is why you're crashing

increase it

[hasty mist]

rookie mistake, my bad

[rapid stag]

[hasty mist]

everything seems to be in order now

whoops

see what went wrong is

[thin anchor]

what is the context for the rarity of your jokers

[hasty mist]

instead of just changing [i + 1] to [i - 1], i changed EVERY + into a -

[placid star]

does anyone know the config.center... for sell value?

[daring fern]

card.sell_cost

[tepid crow]

same goes for the if statement btw if context.blueprint > #G.jokers.cards - 1 then, that should also be a +

[hasty mist]

yeah, fixed

oops

[daring fern]

What are you trying to do?

[placid star]

make a joker like dagger but for Xmult

[tepid crow]

and finally, you might be interested in SMODS.blueprint_effect

[hasty mist]

wdym

[daring fern]

card.sell_cost is what dagger uses.

[hasty mist]

i think i tried using it at first

but i couldnt figure out how

[tepid crow]

it's an SMODS function you can use for blueprint-like jokers like the one you're making

[hasty mist]

so i just referenced old blueprint in cryptid's code

i'm very new to coding as a whole, only started learning like a week ago

[soft echo]

so i'm trying to have this card give x2 mult if your played hand has a card of hearts. for some reason it's not working and i don't get why

[hushed field]

the calculate function is checked for each call to that function. This means your local gets reset every time it runs. There's never a moment where hasHearts will be set to true, and the context will be joker_main

[soft echo]

oohh my bad. this is my first time modding this game. so i'm trying to figure this out

[hushed field]

the way you'd wanna do this is iterate through context.scoring_hand in context.joker_main, and call is_suit("Hearts") on each of them, and just return if it's true. You're not actually doing something each individual card, so there's no reason to be in that context. It's more for when a joker makes specific cards do something, like make 3s give +10 chips, or something

[hushed field]

no worries, I think the way variables are set and empied is something that starts to feel more natural once you've made mistakes like these a couple of times. Just reading about it can feel a bit unintuitive, if you're new to programming!

[soft echo]

so something like

  if context.scoring_hand and is_suit("hearts") then
    return { stuff }
  end
end
```?

[hushed field]

context.scoring_hand is an array that contains each card that scores! You'll still need to check each card in there. It's also always passed along with context.joker_main, so you don't need to check if it exists!

I'd write it like this:

if context.joker_main then
   for _index, _playing_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
      if _playing_card:is_suit("Hearts") then
        return {
          xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
        }
      end
    end
end

I don't know if the function sets it to lower, but I think is_suit is capital dependent, so you'd use Hearts instead of hearts

[soft echo]

alright that makes sense. i'll try it

[red flower]

anyone who's good at graphics knows how to make this kind of outer glow with particles or shaders or something
or do i have to learn myself

[hushed field]

I could make that shader for you in unity, N, but I've still not been able to figure out Balatro's shader framework :/

[red flower]

sad

[soft echo]

thank you so much for the help

[hushed field]

I should start setting up the ui nodes for the codex jokers, so I can actually start making those jokers. I keep just going for the easy way out, and making new simple jokers instead of the ones that need my complicated fucking mechanics

[valid trench]

I'm just trying to go through the joker pool and set the Rare and Uncommons to a modded rarity that's the same as the normal one but more common

[tall apex]

Your icon is epic :3

[hasty mist]

icon?

[tall apex]

Yeah your little discord thingy, I like the shape design of the character

[hasty mist]

ohh

thank you!

[tall apex]

Mhm!

[valid trench]

is it cus take ownership needs the joker's name as a string and it's giving a table

how could I take a table's name as a string

wait, no I'm just dumb

[cinder light]

hey is there any context that checks after all jokers have been activated

context.

[valid trench]

I don't think so

[cinder light]

aww man

[daring fern]

context.final_scoring_step?

[cinder light]

It might check for that but it doesn't seem to be working how I intend it tho. I'll have to come back to this another time, but thanks for the help. New context. unlocked

[marble flint]

might be more fruitful to take ownership of the rarity instead

[valid trench]

how

I don't think take ownership works on rarities does it

[daring fern]

Take ownership works on most things.

[valid trench]

well rarity is very weirdly implimented in the game

like modded rarites are actual like tables and shit but the vanilla rarities are just a value and any weighting and stuff is done by the functions

[marble flint]

you can lovely patch those functions

especially because the rarities will still get used even with no jokers in them (j_joker everywhere)

[thick panther]

How would I make a voucher work like Tarot Merchant/Tycoon where it increases the spawn rate of certain consumables, specifically a modded one? I found this in the source, but does SMODS.Consumable or SMODS.ConsumableType add a var like G.GAME.tarot_rate?

if center_table.name == 'Tarot Merchant' or center_table.name == 'Tarot Tycoon' then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
            G.GAME.tarot_rate = 4*center_table.extra
            return true end }))
end

[valid trench]

huh

the rarity is only really used for the spawning card calculation

but a lot of mods need that to function

and smod already edits it to impliment custom rarities

[tall wharf]

😭

[valid trench]

am I stupid?

[tall wharf]

i think you can change the weight or smth idk

[valid trench]

I can directly change the weight via a lovely patch but I want it to be triggered by a voucher

and I can do that also with a lovely patch and a if statement but that feels yucky

more hard coding in

[tall wharf]

😭

[valid trench]

it's fine, next content patch will change this

finally Balatro will be a good game

[tall wharf]

😭😭😭😭😭

[hasty mist]

how would i go about coding a joker that's like credit card, but with an infinite debt limit?

if possible of course

[modern kindle]

probably just set the bankrupt to -math.huge or something

[thick panther]

you would just add this to your SMODS.Joker:

add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        
        G.GAME.bankrupt_at = -math.huge

    end,

If -math.huge doesn't work, just set it to a really big negative number.

[hasty mist]

thank you!

[neat plover]

still, why my code no workie??

no syntax stuff, just the code is doing nothing

[karmic arch]

hi chat!!! Is 30,000 on 8 ante ok for this deck?

[daring fern]

Change card = self to card = card

[daring fern]

What is the joker meant to do?

[daring fern]

It should be card.ability.extra.toggle instead of toggle

[neat plover]

im stupid

been a while i ve coded so i forgot how to do the most basic stuff

still nothin

[tall wharf]

Formula Deck(?)

Formulaic Deck

[karmic arch]

Hmm

[karmic arch]

It's based on the formula R12=R1*R2/(R1+R2), so it's probably more logical to call it that

[tall wharf]

i mean the name physics deck don't make sense to me

[modern kindle]

probbaly because its a formula used in it

makes sense to me

[tall wharf]

how do i add Tetris to Balatro

[modern kindle]

look it up

[unborn bay]

"tetris love2d" on google

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1083343039696732192.webp?size=48

[tall wharf]

I'm not copying code

[modern kindle]

you should prob rewrite ur mod then

all code ever has already been written, thusly everything is a copy

[tall wharf]

yeah

[glad osprey]

what

[tall wharf]

i meant what I said

[glad osprey]

I mean it'd probably not be totally hard

[tall wharf]

i want it to be decent accurate

[glad osprey]

hardest part i can think of would be getting the game to render it without it fucking shitting itself

[unborn bay]

you could always just use base love2d drawing functions so that you don't have to use ui nodes

[glad osprey]

and that's just cuz I've never messed with rendering before

[unborn bay]

plus making tetris using ui nodes sounds like

hell

[glad osprey]

you would still most likely have to patch into the base draw code in order to allow for drawing custom stuff

maybe

[tall wharf]

because it probably is

[glad osprey]

idk how the engine works

[thick panther]

How do I get the number of times a modded consumable has been bought at the shop in a profile?

[daring fern]

G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].consumeable_usage['c_modprefix_key'].count

[thick panther]

Is key the SMODS.Consumable key or the SMODS.ConsumableType key? Is there a way to use the latter like how Tarot Tycoon keeps track of number of tarot cards bought?

[daring fern]

It uses the consumable key.

[daring fern]

I don't think tarot tycoon does that.

It only increases the tarot rate.

[thick panther]

Sorry, I meant the unlock condition for it. It keeps track of number of tarot cards purchased in the shop through c_tarots_bought.

[daring fern]

It checks in G.FUNCS.buy_from_shop

You could try hooking that.

[faint plank]

wonder how many people will recognize this fella

[soft echo]

so i'm having trouble with another thing. i'm trying to make to where if you play a three of a kind every card scored gets a retrigger

[daring fern]

Show your code.

[soft echo]

this is my current code

[daring fern]

Do you want it to be if it contains 3 of a kind or if it is a 3 of a kind?

[soft echo]

if it is a three of a kind

[glad osprey]

context.repetition

not context.individual

idk if rep has a reference to what hand is being played tho

[daring fern]

Replace your current code with this: ```lua
if context.scoring_name == 'Three of a Kind' and context.repetition then
return {
repetitions = 1,
card = card,
}
end

[glad osprey]

well how about that

[soft echo]

i thought i tried that!

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-dies-gif-21956120

[glad osprey]

how tf do config pages work

[cursive sentinel]

is money earned calculated on joker after a hand is played?

like if you earn 20 from lucky and you have bootstrap, does it take the 20 into account into the same hand's scoring? or only then?

[daring fern]

Bootstraps does change if a lucky card gives 20 dollars.

[cursive sentinel]

okkk its because i had the wrong game.dollar

bootstraps uses (G.GAME.dollars + (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0))

ok thank you!!

[high sinew]

does anyone know if im using Emult for exponential right here?

keeps not working

[steady smelt]

where is the code that prevents multiple of the same tarot from appearing without showman? I want to make two specific tarots not show up when the other is present without showman

[daring fern]

You're putting mult instead of emult_mod

[thick panther]

How do you make your own tooltips for text styling?

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[thick panther]

For deck descriptions, like how Magic Deck has the tooltip for Crystal Ball voucher.

[rose dragon]

is there an actually good guide to ui? (not https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/UI-Guide because it is not helpful at all)

[daring fern]

Put info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.objectkey in loc_vars

[primal robin]

Speaking of UI. How I can make this description looks better? Unfirtunately adding formatting like for xmult doesn't support spaces

[thick panther]

Does this work with modded objects?

[daring fern]

Yes you would just put modprefix_ in between the letter prefix and the key.

[unborn bay]

you can use XMult style background formatting via B:

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling#variablecustom-background-colour-modifier-b

[primal robin]

Oh well..

[scarlet spire]

I mean, if you're using smods then that means you can use this

[high sinew]

this?

its still giving an error

[daring fern]

The colour would be G.C.DARK_EDITION

[daring fern]

What error?

[high sinew]

ah

the card give +100 but literally says ERROR

after it

[unborn bay]

need better specifics here

like does the game crash after this

or is it just something saying 'ERROR'?

[high sinew]

no game crash

idk how to explain better when scoring hand calcs it literally goes "+100 in red, then ERROR in yellow)

its impossible to sc to show i dont have that quick of reaction

[unborn bay]

though i am wondering here why are you returning an invalid return table

the format should be

return {
    message = "fuck",
    mult = 5,
}

for example

[high sinew]

got a pic

shit ur right that was an accident

was trying to trial and error

[unborn bay]

error usually means that there was a localization error

if it cannot find localization info for a specific key then it simply returns ERROR

[high sinew]

ah ok

do I need to make somethign for localization for my mod?

[unborn bay]

im not sure why it pops up here since message uses a string directly here and not a result from localize

could be related to the odd invalid return table probably???

idk

[high sinew]

yea idk thats why its stumping me

[thick panther]

For adding a card from a Modded set using SMODS.create_card, would the set value be modPrefix_cardTypeKey?

[daring fern]

It should.

[high sinew]

i am localizing here

[heavy hare]

so i have the modded vanilla files, what's the process to publish it as a mod?

[unborn bay]

bit of a reach but try removing type = "variable"

[high sinew]

sometimes thats how u get erros to work XD

[unborn bay]

could just be that a_powmult is not a valid localization string

in fact pow mults don't exist outside of talisman anyway

[high sinew]

ik

im using tailsman tho

[daring fern]

Is this in your localization?

[high sinew]

with it removed the ERROR goes away but no square still only +100 mult

i havent made any localization

set up for mod rn i might need localization i think thats what the issue is

[worldly thicket]

I'm making a tarot card, and was wondering if it's possible to when used it puts the cards in your hand back in your deck, shuffles, and deals the same amount the player had

[high sinew]

making a localization lua file i think that should fix thats what ur sending here right?

[thin anchor]

is this correct?

[daring fern]

Why does your deck have a rarity?

[thin anchor]

just put that in for testing

i dont know why

but thats besides the point

is it correct

[high sinew]

@daring fern do i need a SMODS.localization? crashed game but idk if this is how u define

[daring fern]

You dont and use the localization template here: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization

[rapid stag]

how can i get the active profile name?

[daring fern]

G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].name

[sturdy monolith]

i got a randomized description working but it has a newline that says nil? how can i fix this?

[soft echo]

does anyone know how to get the modify_rank to work?

[tall wharf]

i think you can use SMODS.set_base or something

[thick panther]

Did you ever manage to get this to work? I've tested this without any other mods and get the issue.

[errant karma]

nah, i was too lazy to see what mod was causing it

[hasty mist]

is it possible to easily create factorial mult?

[rose dragon]

why isn't it getting marked as a collection_card?

[rose dragon]

like setting mult to the factorial of itself?

[rapid stag]

for SMODS.Achievement, when unlock_condition(self, args) is called, what exactly is args?

is it the same args passed into check_for_unlock()?

[hasty mist]

something like multiplying mult by n!

[soft echo]

currently getting this error as well

[rose dragon]

you will need talisman for this to work
util function

function UTIL_TABLE.factorial(n)
    local res = to_big(1)
    for i = 2, n do
        res = res * i
    end
    return res
end

calculate function

function calculate(self,card,context)
  if context.end_of_round then
    card.ability.extra.n = card.ability.extra.n + 1
  end
  if context.joker_main then
    return {mult_mod = mult*UTIL_TABLE.factorial(card.ability.extra.n), message = "X"..tostring(card.ability.extra.n).."!", colour = G.C.BLACK}
  end
end

rename my placeholder variables too

[tall wharf]

you'll need to call SMODS.set_base

i don't remember the actual name or the argument

[soft echo]

still getting the error

[sturdy monolith]

fixed

[tall wharf]

as i mentioned

i don't remember

[soft echo]

alright sorry to bother you

[tall wharf]

sorry here

[rose dragon]

where in the code do they create the jokers in the collection?

[rapid stag]

how can i make a joker unlock dependant on an achievement being unlocked? do i just give it the same unlock condition or

[tepid crow]

Thunk gives some jokers the same condition as achievements yeah

[surreal marsh]

why my smods.UndiscoveredSprite doesn't draw in 34*34 size

i remember it worked well before

[high sinew]

feel like im super close on this still isnt working tho the +100 mult works but ERROR given on calculation for squaring

[hasty mist]

what would i need to do if i want to set the joker's Xmult to the factorial of its current Xmult at the end of each round

if that isn't too hard

[rose dragon]

function calculate(self,card,context)
  if context.end_of_round then
    card.ability.extra.n = UTIL_TABLE.factorial(card.ability.extra.n)
  end
  if context.joker_main then
    return {Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.n, message = "X"..tostring(card.ability.extra.n)}
  end
end

[hasty mist]

thank you!

also, how do i set the joker's initial Xmult it starts at?

[rose dragon]

config = {extra = {}}

how do I make this not select the joker thats being destroyed

this is probably something really dumb but im new to lua and cant for the life of me figure out why this isnt working

ohh i see

pretty big oversight on my part

[scarlet thorn]

You can call SMODS.Joker without ()

[hasty mist]

ty for the help

[rose dragon]

also make sure you have util_table

[hasty mist]

hm

yeah im still getting a crash

it should be there

[scarlet thorn]

show where you define it

[rose dragon]

do you have hte UTIL_TABLE.factorial function and did you set UTIL_TABLE to {} prior to defining it?

[scarlet thorn]

UTIL_TABLE = {}

add that before hand

[hasty mist]

alright that works now

but im getting another crash when ending a round

[rose dragon]

for i = 2, tonumber(n) do

[hasty mist]

should this be in the function?

[rose dragon]

replace for i = 2, n do with it
also, replace res = res * i with res = res * to_big(i)

[hasty mist]

still getting the crash

[rapid stag]

bump

[sullen fern]

my card is like. not doing what it's supossed to do

also it doesn't act like a consumable should, it's always usable when it should only be usable when a card is selected

[chrome widget]

How do you reset sprites while bypassing discovery? Using copy_card seems to copy the card with the collection UI rather than the regular one if it was copied from the shop

[glad osprey]

has anyone experimented with adding extra textures to a shader?

[chrome widget]

I have. I use some passed in textures for a few shaders

[glad osprey]

what did you do

[chrome widget]

Clarify the question? I used passing in a texture to create a water shader, with the overlayed texture wavering

[glad osprey]

how did you pass in the texture

[chrome widget]

You declare an extern/uniform like
extern Image my_texture;

And then you pass it to the shader whenever you go to draw it using
G.SHADERS[shader_key]:send('my_texture', G.ASSET_ATLAS[texture_key])

You can also do the latter by assigning the key and texture to an array and then passing it into the draw_shader() function's third argument

[glad osprey]

i am already using draw_shader() so how do i do that

[sullen fern]

is it crashing because… cryptid?

what if i try ortalab

because the crashlog mentions crypid

[chrome widget]

Declare an array, or using self.ARGS.send_to_shader (which is already declared during the current draw steps), add a table like this as one of its entries

{ key = 'my_texture', value = G.ASSET_ATLAS[texture_key] }

[glad osprey]

final thing does that give the entire image or am i able to get a specific sprite from it

[stark geode]

am i losing it

[chrome widget]

Actually determining what section of the sprite is used is up to the logic in the shader itself. It passes in the entire image, and the shader does what it needs with him

[sullen fern]

okay, cryptid is the issue

and um

it lets me select every card and give them a modded enhancement

it's also kinda scuffed rn

[rapid stag]

bump

[sullen fern]

why does it crash with cryptid and not ortalab

[glad osprey]

cryptid moment

[sullen fern]

i'm gonna try it with unstable installed

[red flower]

1. G.GAME.seeded
2. SMODS.config.achievements

i recommend looking up localization keys to find this stuff btw

[rapid stag]

[glad osprey]

help

[sullen fern]

it works with unstable too

[glad osprey]

probably smth cryptid patched messes with your mod

[sullen fern]

for now the mod is incompatable with cryptid

[sullen fern]

that's some stuff i want to fix

i want to fix the card selection limit issue and the scuffed animation

i want it to be like an enhancment giving tarot card

like this

[glad osprey]

how do i make a joker give birth to a child sprite

[sullen fern]

so how would i go about doing that

[tall wharf]

😭😭😭😭😭

[glad osprey]

do you have an answer

[tall wharf]

no but I'm adding Battleworm Insomniac to my mod

[glad osprey]

battleworm

[tall wharf]

worn

my bad

i should Shri

sorry Shri

sleep

[glad osprey]

battleworm

[tall wharf]

thank god

battle

with

worms

what's that game called again

game where you battle with worms

battleworn insomniac

[glad osprey]

worms iirc

[wooden nexus]

Question: Why did the cards turn radioactive?

[sullen fern]

unstable

that's why

[north terrace]

hello, ive come with a question my googling has failed to answer (so has searching the server). how on earth do i replace the shop sign asset with a smod or love mod? :>

[crisp coral]

and you didn't tell me????

[sullen fern]

how do i make it so my card does the "flipping into a new enhancment" animation to the cards it effects

[crisp coral]

look at the mod_conv and suit_conv consumables

in card.lua

[weak brook]

https://i.imgur.com/WeHFaaX.png

i made this button

but the problem is since its stored in the same group as buy and use if i focus on a card that cant be used it doesnt show the new button

any other method of working around this is resulting in failure rn does anyone know how to help with this

[still jacinth]

im makin a joker that creates a card with a random enhancement, im wondering do i have to make a list of the enhancements that exist? or can i just use a variable to get all the possible enhancements

[red flower]

add a new child instead of grouping it with buy and use?

[weak brook]

tried that but it resulted in it not being rendered behind the card and also rendered all the time even when a card is not focused

[daring fern]

This is what incantation does ```lua
for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS["Enhanced"]) do
if v.key ~= 'm_stone' then
cen_pool[#cen_pool+1] = v
end
end

[red flower]

how are you doing it

[red flower]

i hook card:highlight to do something similar to that

[still jacinth]

thank you!

[rugged star]

Is there a way to only load a lovely file if a config option is set?

[red flower]

afaik no because smods can't access that part but you can make the patch itself conditional

like adding a condition to the patch code i mean

[surreal coral]

anyone know where the code is that pulls a card to the center of the screen when purchased

[shell timber]

i wanna make this now actually

[tall wharf]

😭😭😭😭

[shell timber]

i gave up on that

[rapid stag]

remind me how i get a joker's name from center

[tall wharf]

I'll try

[rapid stag]

oh i guess i could just localize([joker key]), right?

am i crazy or

[daring fern]

G.localization.descriptions.Joker[jokerkey] could probably also work.

[rapid stag]

this was my second thought, but i was just putting it out there

[rapid stag]

do jokers added by SMODS.Joker get localization variables

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[rapid stag]

like will G.localization.descriptions.Joker[jokerkey] work if the key is a modded joker key

[daring fern]

There are usually localizations for modded jokers.

[manic rune]

am i cooking

[edgy reef]

Very much so

[tepid rock]

        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)        
        local face_cards_played = 0
        if context.other_card: is_face() then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function() 
                face_cards_played = face_cards_played + 1
                card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {
                    message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = {card.ability.x_mult}},
                        colour = G.C.RED,
                    card = card
                }) 
                return true
            end}))
        end
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            return {
                mult = (face_cards_played * card.ability.extra.Xmult) + 1
            }
        end
    end

it is meant to give 0.5 Xmult per face card played but it crashes as soon as i open a blind

[sturdy compass]

Am I cooking with this idea chat

[tepid rock]

Could possibly cut down on the wording but its cool

[sturdy compass]

You're trying to run functions on context.other_card in contexts where it doesn't exist

[tepid rock]

could you expand on which ones?

[sturdy compass]

You should add on a context.individual onto your check

[unborn bay]

creating a random spectral card may be too much but whatever

[tepid rock]

as another if or instead of context other card?

[sturdy compass]

in the same if statement

if context.individual and context.other_card:is_face() then

[tepid rock]

sweet, thank you

this card is gonna be hard to program i can feel it

[unborn bay]

this is truly seals on everything

[sturdy compass]

Honestly it sounds like a pretty basic card so I think you'll be fine

[tepid rock]

this part is basic

[sturdy compass]

Ah there's more to it lol

[tepid rock]

it'll also reset itself after a while or 1 in 1000 chance to destroy itself

[sturdy compass]

Just take a look at Cavendish code for the 1 in 1000 destroy chance tbh

[tepid rock]

thatll be an easy part (i got most of my chance issues done)

[sturdy compass]

Could also peep Campfire code for reset

[tepid rock]

true, forget about campfire

        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)        
        local face_cards_played = 0
        if context.individual and context.other_card:is_face() then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function() 
                face_cards_played = face_cards_played + 1
                card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {
                    message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = {card.ability.x_mult}},
                        colour = G.C.RED,
                    card = card
                }) 
                return true
            end}))
        end
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            return {
                x_mult = 1+ (face_cards_played * card.ability.extra.Xmult) 
            }
        end
    end
``` back again tho cus it is detecting face cards but wont give the message until after the hand is played nor actually give xmult

[sturdy compass]

you could honestly do without the event wrapper for what you're trying to do here

I think that's what's messing it up cuz your face_cards_played won't actually increment until the animations actually play out

[tepid rock]

wdym?

[sturdy compass]

Internally, the game handles all of the math before animations/events are shown to the player

so face_cards_played doesn't get incremented during that math phase, but the animation phase instead, therefore no score

Also your scoring context should just be context.joker_main

[tepid rock]

so chuck face cards played after the animation?

[sturdy compass]

Hold on

[unborn steeple]

Hi! I'm trying to make a texture pack that replaces the planet cards with versions I've made. I've done texture packs for the deck, stickers, and jokers, and all of them work. My planet cards texture pack isn't working. It loads in, but the textures don't change. This is the contents of the .lua file:

--- MOD_NAME: Adanadhel Planets
--- MOD_ID: AdanadhelPlanets
--- MOD_AUTHOR: [BerryBerryDogberry]
--- MOD_DESCRIPTION: Replaces Planet cards with Selena

----------------------------------------------
------------MOD CODE -------------------------

function SMODS.INIT.AdanadhelPlanets()
    sendDebugMessage("Launching Adanadhel Planets!")

    local selena_planet = SMODS.findModByID("AdanadhelPlanets")
    local sprite_trt = SMODS.Sprite:new("Tarot", selena_planet.path, "Tarots.png", 71, 95, "asset_atli")

    sprite_trt:register()

end

----------------------------------------------
------------MOD CODE END----------------------

Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong?

[shell timber]

ok so that's the 0.9.8 mod format

[sturdy compass]

It should look something like this. Also, face_cards_played is being re-instantiated every calculate call. Store this within the card's extra table instead of locally

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)        
        local face_cards_played = 0
        if context.individual and context.other_card:is_face() then
           face_cards_played = face_cards_played + 1
           card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {
               message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = {card.ability.x_mult}},
                   colour = G.C.RED,
               card = card
           }) 
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                x_mult = 1+ (face_cards_played * card.ability.extra.Xmult) 
            }
        end
    end

[shell timber]

you should probably just use https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1300851004186820690 for this?

[fickle stag]

how do I access UI elements from this uibox definition in the game src?

[unborn steeple]

all my other packs are working fine with this format and without Malverk, though, I just don't understand why this one isn't.

[icy oak]

hi, is there a way to make vscode's autocomplete thing to recognise vars and stuff

rn when i hover over them it just says unknown and any

[tepid rock]

This is allegedly increasing x mult but it isnt giving xmult

[daring fern]

Put SMODS in your workspace.

[sturdy compass]

Did you see my suggestion about how to handle face_cards_played?

[tepid rock]

(it isnt updating xmult on the card but idk if i have the message done yet

[tepid rock]

in each calc cell?

[sturdy compass]

I guess not. face_cards_played is being re-instantiated every calculate call. Store this within the card's extra table instead of locally

[icy oak]

oh thanks

[unborn steeple]

do you have an updated format? I've tried searching online and the one I'm using is the only one I could find

[tepid rock]

config = {extra = {Xmult = 0.5, face_cards_played = 0}},
    rarity = 3,
    --sprite location
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = {x = 1, y = 0},        
    cost = 10,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)        
        if context.individual and context.other_card:is_face() then
            face_cards_played = face_cards_played + 1
            card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {
                message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = {card.ability.x_mult}},
                    colour = G.C.RED,
                card = card
            }) 
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                x_mult = 1+ (face_cards_played * card.ability.extra.Xmult) 
            }
        end
    end
}```
like this?

or in vars?

[sturdy compass]

almost. gotta add card.ability.extra to all of your face_card_played usages in calculate

[tepid rock]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult, card.ability.extra.face_cards_played} }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)        
        if context.individual and context.other_card:is_face() then
            card.ability.extra.face_cards_played = card.ability.extra.face_cards_played + 1
            card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {
                message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = {card.ability.x_mult}},
                    colour = G.C.RED,
                card = card
            }) 
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                x_mult = 1+ (card.ability.extra.face_cards_played * card.ability.extra.Xmult) 
            }
        end
    end
```??

[sturdy compass]

yep. No need to return it in the vars table

[iron haven]

can I?

[chilly jolt]

The code is in python or lua?

[sturdy compass]

lua

[iron haven]

lua

[unborn bay]

lua

[tepid rock]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult} }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)        
        if context.individual and context.other_card:is_face() then
            card.ability.extra.face_cards_played = card.ability.extra.face_cards_played + 1
            card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {
                message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = {card.ability.x_mult}},
                    colour = G.C.RED,

            }
        end
    end
}

[sturdy compass]

Now why is that nil

You didn't happen to remove it from your extra table did you

[tepid rock]

config = {extra = {Xmult = 0.5, face_cards_played = 0}}, this one?

wait-, i forgot to chance it no?

*change

[sturdy compass]

no that's correct

the way you have it now

[tepid rock]

SMODS.Joker{
    --identifier
    key = 'cassetteTape',
    --what it says
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Cassette Tape',

            "{X:mult,C:white} X#1# {} Mult",
            "per face card played"
        }
    },

        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult} }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)        
        if context.individual and context.other_card:is_face() then
            card.ability.extra.face_cards_played = card.ability.extra.face_cards_played + 1
            card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {
                message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = {card.ability.x_mult}},
                    colour = G.C.RED,
                card = card
            }) 
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                x_mult = 1+ (card.ability.extra.face_cards_played * card.ability.extra.Xmult) 
            }
        end
    end
}
``` whole thing in case

[sturdy compass]

which line is line 327 in your code? is it the card.ability.extra.face_cards_played = card.ability.extra.face_cards_played + 1?

[tepid rock]

} after that

if context.joker_main then
return {
x_mult = 1+ (card.ability.extra.face_cards_played * card.ability.extra.Xmult)
} <--

the arrow is pointing to it

[sturdy compass]

Huh that's a weird one

I wonder, did you remember to save? If not, did you start a new run to test the new code?

[iron haven]

hey guys, quick question.

[unborn steeple]

I don't want to be too annoying about this, but could someone help me out? or point me in the direction of a good tutorial?

[manic rune]

blue archive :3

[chilly jolt]

:3

[iron haven]

What is the code to do 26 jokers?

[tepid rock]

new run lol. forgot that is a thing. Mult doesnt increase in description still sadly but it works

[unborn bay]

blue archive ,,,,

[tepid rock]

also, it immediately gives 1.5 x mult

is there a way to not do that?

[sturdy compass]

I know why that is. Your Xmult variable is never changing, just the face_cards_played

[iron haven]

guys?

[chilly jolt]

Also... these might fit

[tepid rock]

gotcha, to attach to my previous question, how would i do that?

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[sturdy compass]

in the vars table of your loc_vars, return 1 + (card.ability.extra.face_cards_played * card.ability.extra.Xmult)

[iron haven]

I have to do 26 jokers

[sturdy compass]

Yes it's the same algorithm as your scoring function lol

[sturdy compass]

this makes no sense

[tepid rock]

does that fix both issues?

[iron haven]

I have to make 26 kokers

[sturdy compass]

No, but it might help diagnose it

[shell timber]

what i would recommend for you is to learn basic lua

[tepid rock]

So just play a round and see what happens?

[unborn bay]

i don't get what you mean by "make 26 jokers" because i don't have any other advice than make 26 jokers

[sturdy compass]

Yes actually lol

[unborn bay]

this feels like a don't ask to ask situation

[scarlet spire]

yeah there's not gonna be a "make 26 jokers" button, you gotta code those yourself

[iron haven]

So i have to copy and paste the make joker code 25 more times?

from the video

[unborn steeple]

I think if you want to mod 26 custom jokers into the game, the first step would be to learn how to mod 1 joker into the game, then do that 25 more times

[unborn steeple]

what video?

[iron haven]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp-4U5TlbxY&t=7s

that video

[sturdy compass]

I have never been more confused in this chat

[daring fern]

Yes, you would do that for every one of the 26 jokers.

[tepid rock]

description is working but i only played two faces

[manic rune]

average #💻・modding-dev experience, u either get blown away by how insane these people are or the same but complete opposite meaning

[sturdy compass]

Nah this is a special case. It has never been to this degree lmfao

[scarlet spire]

if you paste the template 26 times you will have 26 jokers, but in order for them to function at all you'll still need to code that behavior yourself

[tepid rock]

imma make the decription make more sense later

[manic rune]

-# true...

[unborn steeple]

I just came in here to ask for help with getting my planets texture pack working and now I'm just more confused than I was before

[manic rune]

u should use Malverk for that one

[sturdy compass]

ykw try tacking on a and not context.repetition in your if statement. I wonder if it's hitting on those for some reason

[iron haven]

what should the key be?

[unborn steeple]

can I not do it without using Malverk? I'm just confused because all three of the other texture packs I've made using the exact same format are working completely perfectly, it's literally JUST the tarot/planets one that isn't working, and I can't figure out what the difference is

[tepid rock]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { 1 + (card.ability.extra.face_cards_played * card.ability.extra.Xmult)} }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)        
        if context.individual and context.other_card:is_face() and not context.repetition then
            card.ability.extra.face_cards_played = card.ability.extra.face_cards_played + 1
            card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {
                message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = {card.ability.x_mult}},
                    colour = G.C.RED,
                card = card
            }) 
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                x_mult = 1+ (card.ability.extra.face_cards_played * card.ability.extra.Xmult) 
            }
        end
    end
``` one face

[sturdy compass]

huh.

[tepid rock]

i think i see the problem

[daring fern]

The name of your joker all lowercase without spaces usually.

[scarlet spire]

key can be anything, it's just the identifier for that joker, but yes it's best practice to make it the name of your joker all lowercase without spaces

[iron haven]

SMODS.Altas{ key = 'a', path = 'LetterJoker.png', px = 71, py = 95

like this? I should add more.

[scarlet spire]

so, if I have a joker named Red Joker, the key would probably be 'redjoker' or 'red_joker'

[tepid rock]

did not see the problem

    calculate = function(self, card, context)        
        if context.individual and context.other_card:is_face() and not context.repetition then
            card.ability.extra.face_cards_played = card.ability.extra.face_cards_played + 1
            card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {

oh wait

[daring fern]

No thats the atlas the atlas key should be something like Jokers

[iron haven]

oh

why is this kinda weird....

[chilly jolt]

Looks kinda hard but understandable

I'm starting to code games in assembly language

[sturdy compass]

Oh my god I think I know what it is now. Add on and context.cardarea == G.play

My guess is it's getting the cards held in hand too

[frosty dock]

what's an Altas

[sturdy compass]

aure jumpscare

[iron haven]

oh.

[chilly jolt]

I was thinking to mod some math abilities and add insane functions like Ackerman's function lmao

[tepid rock]

working now

[sturdy compass]

Huge

[iron haven]

does this work so far?

[scarlet spire]

thats about it for the atlas, yes

[daring fern]

Is LetterJoker.png in your mod/assets/1x and mod/assets/2x?

[iron haven]

both.

isn't it suppose to be in both?

[scarlet spire]

yes

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua
this is a good page to look at for defining your jokers, and has a lot of comments explaining what every line does

though it might be a bit information dense

[unborn steeple]

re: this, I guess, like, can someone help me out with finding a more updated texture pack format, or something, without needing Malverk? I have all these planet cards I'm really proud of and literally only this specific texture pack is having a problem, all three of the other packs I've made are functioning without a hitch

[iron haven]

so this is where I put the key of my joker.

[scarlet spire]

yes

[daring fern]

No, its SMODS.Joker

[scarlet spire]

oh wait yeah you're missing an s

I'm tired

[tepid rock]

how do i do two sets of odds for one joker? like, in loc_vars section

[unborn steeple]

I'm sorry if I'm being annoying, I swear to God I don't want to be a pain, I'm just getting frustrated because I don't know how to troubleshoot this

[iron haven]

ok. now I have to add the text.

[daring fern]

Why dont you want to use Malverk?

[daring fern]

You forgot an S on SMODS

[wintry solar]

What’s the problem with Malverk?

[iron haven]

question. I have to type gains +1 mult for played aces (starts at +3 mult) for A where do I put the line breaks?

[daring fern]

Probably between aces and (starts

[daring fern]

You also need to mention what the current mult is.

[iron haven]

yeah.

I'm onto that part.
