What’s the effect?

[sonic cedar]

For some reason my sticker's applying to a card a joker generates? Like I give it to 8 Ball and the sticker applies to the consumable it makes. How do I make it not do that? Also does the same thing when I copy playing cards in my hand with Debug, each one gets the sticker despite the original not having one

[runic pecan]

So a copier joker I made isn't copying another retriggering joker I made:

I need help.

It copies Xmult joker, though.

[broken rivet]

how would i debug a blind? i need a way to just set myself to ante 8 and force it to appear since it's a finisher

[sonic cedar]

just go to ante 8 and reroll the boss

[zealous glen]

DebugPlus

Press 3

[broken rivet]

oh

[zealous glen]

hovering over

The Blind

[sonic cedar]

oh true spawn

[broken rivet]

ah

[sonic cedar]

i forget that's not just cards

[timid star]

proud i was able to figure this out on my own

[sonic cedar]

holy shit 900n1

[timid star]

ya

[broken rivet]

does it have a shortcut to reload all mods?

or is there some shortcut for that in general

[sonic cedar]

you can reload atlases but youd reload the game to reload mods

[zealous glen]

Hold M

[sonic cedar]

or alt +f5

[broken rivet]

ah

[willow plinth]

vibe coding in balatro modding is really brainrot, don't try it guys

[timid star]

name every variable and function nonsensical and based on how your mood is currently coding it

[willow plinth]

27 prompts deep and still crashing, lil bro will get insulted by me in a minute

i might actually have to learn lua :/

[timid star]

is that being fed to ai

[shell timber]

...

you're the person who forked a bunch of mods?

[willow plinth]

yes, why?

trying to make a pack, but rn i just play around with balatrobot and can't get it to run

[brisk rose]

People will be pissy about most things ai related here. My take is just it won't get you far

[willow plinth]

i'm making fun of it

[brisk rose]

Fair enough. I'm fine with ai and in my limited modding projects I do use it to automate menial tasks like writing the mod list in my Readme for my modpack. I'm really just rambling nonsense ngl

[formal parrot]

Amazing

[broken rivet]

well i found a bunch of other issues so far
firstly this is debuffing jokers as well as playing cards, but it's only meant to target playing cards. i'm guessing is_suit() still works on jokers for some reason
the intended effect is it only leaving one suit not debuffed, and changing which one isn't debuffed each hand. currently it isn't changing which suit is spared from the effect, and as i said also targeting jokers

local playableSuit = "Spades"

return {
    name = "af_final_wand",
    key = "final_wand",
    
    atlas = "chips_atlas",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},

    dollars = 8,
    boss = {
        min = 8,
        max = 10, -- does nothing
        showdown = true
    },
    boss_color = HEX("E34234"),
    discovered = true,

    -- stole this from castle lol
    drawn_to_hand = function(self)
        playableSuit = "Spades"

        -- find valid cards to target
        local validCards = {}
        for _, v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
            if v.ability.effect ~= "Stone Card" then
                validCards[#validCards+1] = v
            end
        end

        -- set the suit if valid targets exist
        if #validCards >= 1 then
            playableSuit = pseudorandom_element(validCards, pseudoseed("vermillion_wand")).base.suit
        end
    end,

    recalc_debuff = function(self, card, from_blind)
        return not card:is_suit(playableSuit, true)
    end
}

[sonic cedar]

does anyone know where i can find every pool?

[willow plinth]

i use it rarely, i sometimes try it out, especially when learning new languages or frameworks, but as i reported above, it almost always disappoints and i can stay happy knowing i'll keep my job for some time lol

[brisk rose]

I do have no shame however and if an ai could suddenly write competent smmoded code, you bet I'd jump right on that

And finally release mods of my own, lol

[willow plinth]

yeah but the main reddit demographic would still hate it lmao

anyways

[red flower]

i love reddit

[willow plinth]

i think i'll start a new balatro automation project, no one seems to have up-to-date balatrobot running, at least on mac, and gcbot seems outdated as well

[brisk rose]

An echochamber for any occasion

[red flower]

i love echo chambers, i think my opinions are the best honestly

[lucid owl]

just learn to code

[willow plinth]

did already, thanks

[brisk rose]

From their replies it's pretty clear that they are a dev and are just fucking around

[willow plinth]

i just learned a real programming language (javascript with seven million transpiler between me and the customer) instead of yucky lua

[lucid owl]

my bad, seemed like you were one of surprisingly many people here who try to code an entire mod with only chatgpt and zero experience otherwise

[wintry solar]

Can you show the sticker code?

[broken rivet]

ok now trying to fix localization the mod just crashes when i mouse over the blind in the collection

[red flower]

ok but js is like the funniest follow up to "real programming language"

[willow plinth]

i'm on holidays so i feel like i'm slowly becoming that person

[sonic cedar]

sure thing!

[runic pecan]

bump

[dapper sun]

how do i get a joker's edition?

[limber blaze]

card.edition.key

[rugged pier]

python best, they should remake balatro to run on python /s

[limber blaze]

is the edition key

[dapper sun]

ty

[lucid owl]

"why doesn't chatgpt have the entirety of smods documentation in its data set :( i don't want to have to learn everything"

[limber blaze]

python sucks just as much as lua and js

[red flower]

yeah but it sucks in a way i like

[shell timber]

lua sucks in particular just because it's 1 indexed

[broken rivet]

i'm at least used to lua's weirdness

[broken rivet]

TRUE

[rugged pier]

when they realise smods has a bunch of features not in the documentation and even uploading the entire documentation wont help them

[runic pecan]

I mean there are pros and cons in different languages.

[sonic cedar]

even smods documentation doesnt have the entirety of smods lmfao

[limber blaze]

atleast luas weirdness is novel and unique, python and javascript are just kinda bad

[rugged pier]

i will not have python slander happen on my watch

[limber blaze]

jsfuck is the one good thing you can do with javascript

[shell timber]

True...

[timid star]

i grew up on lua because i grew up on roblox studio and fnf knowledge

[brisk rose]

I mean... I'd be the first one to flagrantly make ai-coded mods if it did, lol. But I know too much about ai to expect that

[red flower]

is that like brainfuck

[lucid owl]

and then they feed the docs into copilot and get surprised when it still doesn't really get the game's code

[limber blaze]

tables and metatables are so uniquely funny but like weird wacky type casting is just a thing that always happens with non strict typing

[broken rivet]

can i actually get help though

[limber blaze]

yes

but its pure javascript shenanigans

[rugged pier]

wait you cant just upload entire balatro source code to chatgpt?! /s

[shell timber]

basically via arcane wizardry you can write any js program using just the characters []()!+

[lucid owl]

i've used copilot as a problem solving tool, like, twice, but it feels legit evil to try and use it to code anything major

[rugged pier]

real

[wintry solar]

I haven’t done a whole lot of sticker work but I’m pretty sure the apply function needs to have some sort of condition in it otherwise it will be applied to everything

[limber blaze]

i have never really used ai for anything before

[lucid owl]

i will make my work myself, thank you very much

[limber blaze]

basically i am like better than everyone else

[shell timber]

e.g. ![] == false, +[] == 0, +(+(+!+[]+(!+[]+[])[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+[+!+[]]+[+[]]+[+[]]+[+[]]) == +("1e100") == Infinity

[rugged pier]

i use it for like algorithm creation if anything

[broken rivet]

can anyone help me fix this

[brisk rose]

I use ai for labor saving like turning a list of github links into my modpack's readme

[timid star]

i don't really get access to powerful ai in particular so i just never use ai for ideas

that and im lazy

[lucid owl]

it's good for automating tedious stuff and logic testing without opening the game but i never use it otherwise

[shell timber]

what's the crash log?

[broken rivet]

hold on

[lucid owl]

i wouldn't really feel like i "made a mod" when chatgpt did most of it

[limber blaze]

having to do menial tasks is my penance for writing shitty code so i dont even use ai for labor saving

[rugged pier]

yeah theres no sense of accomplishment

[lucid owl]

and at that point it feels like it's going against the thesis of modding and programming in general

[rugged pier]

like sure i get to play it but...its not mine

[shell timber]

ok actually like a week ago i asked an ai about my mod and it continuously lied to me about what the joker did so that's. something

[brisk rose]

Tbh.. unlike with creative writing, which I do have that sorta relationship with. I don't with coding at all

[limber blaze]

its not really your mod unless you lose your mind over one hyperspecific bug that has the dumbest possible fix

[shell timber]

True...

[brisk rose]

If it's my ideas It's my mod imo

[rugged pier]

REAL

[red flower]

never had a bug in my code cant relate

[limber blaze]

case in point:

[rugged pier]

this man pushes perfection on initial release

[lucid owl]

i have that kind of relationship with all creative work i make, and so using ai feels like it goes against the entire idea of it

[timid star]

spend like half the day on one problem only to find a solution that was right infront of you

[shell timber]

ok so this is crashing in mix_colours? which is odd

[brisk rose]

I see the concepting as the creativity in modding and the coding as the grunt work

Which probably shows I was never meant up me a programmer

[rugged pier]

no feeling like getting humbled on this chat when youve been staring at documentation for 30 mins and someone points out that it was in front of me

[lucid owl]

the coding is the entire fun of it imo

[rugged pier]

same lol

[broken rivet]

is there anything wrong in this line then boss_color = HEX("E34234")

[lucid owl]

or at least a very big part of it

[limber blaze]

i enjoy all parts of it other than shaders and music/sfx cause i suck at those

[shell timber]

oh that probably might be an issue?

[brisk rose]

I... despise mathematics, which is strange for someone who always wanted to be a programmer growing up

[shell timber]

idk i've never touched smods.blind

[rugged pier]

sfx is more fine atleast, but shaders is

a different hell

[sonic cedar]

i didnt see your reply it got drowned out lmfao
will this work? (is there a place i can see each pool so i can just go down the list

[timid star]

for my experience going to dev channels to ask for help mostly never gave back a response so i spend most of my time just searching key words into the seach bar and read documentation like im absorbing it

[limber blaze]

i just have someone to do shaders for me anyway

[broken rivet]

ah

[willow plinth]

coding ai won't evolve anyways as long as the only new training material is either regurgitated ai slop or hidden in discord servers - stackoverflow is dead

[lucid owl]

i've also just been left with a bad taste in my mouth by ai in general seeing as how its current "pushed use" by every company ever is to replace human artists and workers because capitalism, so i'm just not really a fan in most use cases

[willow plinth]

using the search function in a forum is already more than what 90 percent of people online ever do anyways

[brisk rose]

I assure you that if all gpl code was scraped compentently that'd be nore than enough. The problem is never the training set its current methods

Imo

[limber blaze]

i just trial and error everything via reading source code

never fails

[shell timber]

but then you're using gpl code which is an entirely different issue

[lucid owl]

if it has a use case it's as a tool, which i support but that's basically it

[timid star]

pretty efficient though but sometimes it just won't cover this one hyperspecific thing i want to make so i just get ghosted

[brisk rose]

Well... copyright and ai have a very adversarial relationship at the best of times, lol

I'm anti-ip in general

[wintry solar]

ah I see how they work now, you'll need this function to be true when you want it to apply, oir you can write your own

should_apply = function(self, card, center, area, bypass_roll)
            if
                ( not self.sets or self.sets[center.set or {}]) and
                (
                    center[self.key..'_compat'] or -- explicit marker
                    (
                        center[self.key..'_compat'] == nil and
                        ((self.default_compat and not self.compat_exceptions[center.key]) or -- default yes with no exception
                        (not self.default_compat and self.compat_exceptions[center.key]))
                    ) -- default no with exception
                ) and
                (not self.needs_enable_flag or G.GAME.modifiers['enable_'..self.key])
            then
                self.last_roll = pseudorandom((area == G.pack_cards and 'packssj' or 'shopssj')..self.key..G.GAME.round_resets.ante)
                return (bypass_roll ~= nil) and bypass_roll or self.last_roll > (1-self.rate)
            end
        end,

[shell timber]

oh maybe try making the es lowercase?

i dont know

[limber blaze]

hex is case insensitive

[broken rivet]

tried, still crashes

[dapper sun]

card.edition doesn't exist apparently

[limber blaze]

btw i know the issue

its colour not color

[broken rivet]

😭

[shell timber]

oh lmao

[limber blaze]

it only exists if the card has an edition

[brisk rose]

Damn Canadians

[rugged pier]

wdym

[wintry solar]

you'll need to do card.edition and card.edition.key

[rugged pier]

that has a true or false value

[sonic cedar]

so where would this go, though? in Stickers.lua or no?

[willow plinth]

i get that but your main enemy then should be companies, not the method they use to exploit us

[shell timber]

oh yeah technically morefluff's en_us localisation is incorrect because they're called colour cards

but I Cannot Be Bothered Fixing It

[dapper sun]

i did and it's saying edition doesn't exist

[limber blaze]

meh america isnt real anyway

[willow plinth]

also a point lol

[wintry solar]

this is the should_apply that exists on every custom sticker object, you'd just rewrite it like you'd add any function to your object

[rugged pier]

?

[sonic cedar]

ohhhhh ok

[rugged pier]

one follows the other

[limber blaze]

show code

[red flower]

??

[willow plinth]

companies will exploit us, with or without AI

[dapper sun]

weird i did a tprint and i see it

[lucid owl]

at a very close point they're one and the same, the technology is only existing to serve that purpose in many cases. take the suno ai music guy saying "people don't enjoy making music", ai art generator guys saying "traditional art is dead", etc

[rugged pier]

i mean the whole studio ghibli thing too lol

"makes art more accessible"

[shell timber]

people say that??? damn

[rugged pier]

my brother in christ you are destroying art

[brisk rose]

Imo there's a major difference between corporations using ai internally and common folk who couldn't even afford to hire a human using it for personal projects

[limber blaze]

either way people using it is contributing to the image that its unilaterally good and people want more of it which is always going to lead to more companies using it for evil

[rugged pier]

this i can understand, the flip side is that you are actively contributing to the dataset that is used to do bad things

[limber blaze]

theres not really a good seperation with some things

[lucid owl]

i get that, but also a mission they definitely intend is to devalue the worth of human art, therefore making it easier to replace human artists and creators with ai derivatives. at the end of the day it's a capitalism problem, but they're trying to rope everyone into it

[brisk rose]

I don't think genies can be stuffed back into bottles. It's really as simple as that. It's here, it's morally gray and we need to live with it as a society

[willow plinth]

while the details and the magnitude of AI might be different, this is just capitalism like it was always, companies will make money at every cost

[limber blaze]

we can definitely do something about it we just probably wont fully

acting like its unstoppable so people should just use it is exactly why it might be unstoppable

its the same mindset as "well one vote wouldnt make a difference" so then no one votes and it makes a difference

[sonic cedar]

so right now i have that in there as is
where would exceptions be like how would i format them in this

[brisk rose]

I do believe that's a fundentally luddite philopshy. As much as that might make me look like an 'ai bro'

Whatever the fuck that's supposed to be

[willow plinth]

ai cringe lil bro

(sorry my zoomer self said that)

[brisk rose]

I'm probably older than you, lol. I'm 26

[lucid owl]

not to get all radical but... capitalism bad

[dapper sun]

aaand it turns out it was some weird event behaviour for the 2nd time today

[brisk rose]

Agree. I'm an anarchist

[lucid owl]

yeah. i said it

[willow plinth]

probably older than me because i got 26 yesterday haha

[willow plinth]

so brave

[limber blaze]

I'm gonna be 20 this year I'm so young

[lucid owl]

it's a pretty uncommon opinion

[willow plinth]

sadly ye

[lucid owl]

i feel like a baby as a 15 year old lmfao

[brisk rose]

You'll still feel like that at our age

Dw

[limber blaze]

everyone always imagines that one day they might be a billionaire

so they support it because they actually believe it can happen

[red flower]

i will

[limber blaze]

which is not true

you get there by sheer luck you may as well literally buy lottery tickets

[brisk rose]

I'm lucky to be a thousandaire being on ssdi

And I'd lose my money if I have two of them... thousands that is

Poverty trap ftw

[willow plinth]

yes that's the problem - i thought about that recently - thats like the universal hindrance to leftism becoming more popular in first world countries; most people still believe the capitalist lie of "everyone can do it if they work hard enough!!!"

but i'll stop here before some discord mod disciplines me or worse

[lucid owl]

guys it's okay just trust me it'll work this time just one more ruling class guys it's great just one more recession and it'll work i swear

[limber blaze]

just make me supreme queen leader of earth already smh

[willow plinth]

my only hope is the tiktok generation, they all seem more lefty and i'm all for it

[red flower]

all commerce will be done by balatro modding. the most jokers the more capital (<-- biased)

[limber blaze]

time to for loop joker generation

[lucid owl]

gen z voted much more right wing than anyone else in 2024 lol we're cooked

[rugged pier]

how to implement tarrifs in balatro? /s

[willow plinth]

shit

[lucid owl]

when will localthunk implement marxist economic philosophy into balatro?

[limber blaze]

when will thunk add raised fist 2

[willow plinth]

durak in balatro would be actually dope though

[broken rivet]

anyways i need help fixing the other issues here

besides the boss color crash

(that's fixed now)

[sonic cedar]

remember when modding-dev was about mod development

[willow plinth]

no?

[lucid owl]

nah, never

[limber blaze]

this is about modding

im adding all of this to entropy

[rugged pier]

cant remember when that happened

[red flower]

you can check for card.ability.set == 'Enhanced' or card.ability.set == 'Default' for playing cards

[broken rivet]

ah

[sonic cedar]

is it the not in your return (im literally guessing)

[broken rivet]

that's meant to be any playing card not of a given suit

[sonic cedar]

oh i see

[broken rivet]

that just included jokers

i didn't know how to check if something was a playing card before

[sonic cedar]

then yeah do n''s thing he's goated

[red flower]

https://tenor.com/view/smile-cute-anime-blush-sparkle-gif-16408503

[broken rivet]

i have lua experience from the minecraft figura mod, literally coded a physics engine in that lol

a very basic one but still

[runic pecan]

For some reason the first line (green) doesn't copy retriggering effect, but the secong line does.
Is this a smods bug or have I done something wrong elsewhere?

[sonic cedar]

so i still use the set thing then?

or are you talking about above it

[wintry solar]

I think you need the above bit too

[sonic cedar]

i seee

thanks!

[narrow iron]

is there anywhere other than G.UIDEF.card_focus_ui in functions/UI_definitions that can set the buttons that appear on a card?

im trying to get the buttons to work properly on cards that appear in the custom cardArea i made, and based on that function there shouldnt be any buttons on the cards at all, but it still has a use button for some reason

neither of these are true

[broken rivet]

still having an issue with it not switching the debuff, although it does appear to select a new suit

yeah recalc_debuff isn't getting run i think

that seems to be the issue

[sturdy compass]

The biggest thing I'm confused about for your code is that it's all a return table and not an SMODS.Blind

[shell timber]

i'd assume that it gets passed to SMODS.Blind eventually

[broken rivet]

it does

ok yeah not even directly running recalc_debuff works

current code

-- Designed to work like how Castle selects its suit, only being able to choose cards from your deck.

return {
    name = "af_final_wand",
    key = "final_wand",

    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},

    dollars = 8,
    boss = {
        min = 8,
        max = 10, -- does nothing
        showdown = true
    },
    boss_colour = HEX("E34234"), -- canada caused my game to crash!!!! /j
    discovered = true,
    playable_suit = "Spades",

    -- stole this from castle lol
    drawn_to_hand = function(self)
        sendDebugMessage("Drawn")
        self.playable_suit = "Spades"

        -- find valid cards to target
        local validCards = {}
        for _, v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
            if v.ability.effect ~= "Stone Card" then
                validCards[#validCards+1] = v
            end
        end

        -- set the suit if valid targets exist
        if #validCards >= 1 then
            self.playable_suit = pseudorandom_element(validCards, pseudoseed("vermillion_wand")).base.suit
            sendDebugMessage("Switched to " .. self.playable_suit)
        end

        for _, v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
            self:recalc_debuff(v)
        end
    end,

    recalc_debuff = function(self, card, from_blind)
        return (card.ability.set == "Enhanced" or card.ability.set == "Default") and not card:is_suit(self.playable_suit, true, true)
    end
}

[red flower]

i dont know anything about blinds but you can try using the new blind calculate with context.debuff_card maybe

[broken rivet]

oh?

[sturdy compass]

Oh yeah that might work

[broken rivet]

i don't see that method in the docs

[sturdy compass]

Cuz it isn't

[broken rivet]

😭

[red flower]

you need to return { debuff = true } it seems

[broken rivet]

what are the parameters for it

since it's not in the docs

[sturdy compass]

It's basically the exact same as a Joker calculate function

[broken rivet]

oh

[sonic cedar]

i forgot to say but it's telling me a need a return value

better ss

[narrow iron]

what determines the position of a button on a card? / how do i move a button?

[chrome widget]

The UI tree in the create_shop_card_ui() function

[willow plinth]

is this a monospaced font?

[broken rivet]

well that crashed my game

            self:recalc_debuff(v)
        end]]
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.debuff_card then
            return {
                debuff = (card.ability.set == "Enhanced" or card.ability.set == "Default") and not card:is_suit(self.playable_suit, true, true)
            }
        end
    end
}

now ability is nil i guess

[red flower]

context.debuff_card instead of card

[broken rivet]

wdym

[red flower]

context.debuff_card is the card you need to check, card is the blind

[broken rivet]

OH

confusing variable names i guess

[gusty iron]

I had a fun idea for a joker

The ability changes depending in what day of the week it is

So on monday its really bad (mondays are aaaaa)

But on Friday and saturday its really good

[faint yacht]

...so, same Joker, but with Garfield on Mondays, Sonic on Fridays & Dexter's Dad & Car for Saturdays?

[broken rivet]

it still doesn't work as intended somehow

[gusty iron]

Basically yeah

Its ability fully depends on the day of the week

Would that be cool and innovative

[limber blaze]

as long as all the abilities are roughly equal in strength it should be cool

you want to avoid it being more favourable to mess with your system clock though

[red flower]

what's it doing

[broken rivet]

it's switching which suit should be excluded internally, but doesn't show that in-game

in-game the same suits stay debuffed

[red flower]

do the messages in drawn_to_hand work?

[broken rivet]

yes, that's how i know it's changing internally

[red flower]

hmm no idea

[sturdy compass]

Are you un-debuffing the cards

[broken rivet]

calculate = function(self, blind, context)
        if context.debuff_card then
            return {
                debuff = (context.debuff_card.ability.set == "Enhanced" or context.debuff_card.ability.set == "Default") and not context.debuff_card:is_suit(self.playable_suit, true, true)
            }
        end
    end

this is currently responsible for debuffing them

actually i wonder if the debuff is interfering with the ability

the check that's meant to detect if something's a playing card

[red flower]

it shouldnt because that context is also used to undebuff cards

but if it does its an smods bug

[broken rivet]

ah

interestingly enough it does appear to have updated if i enter the blind again

[narrow iron]

when i emplace a card into the custom cardArea i made the button alignment breaks for some reason

[broken rivet]

it somehow triggers when i sell a tarot card???

[red flower]

whats the code

[narrow iron]

this is what im using to make my card area, there is a lot of other code to try and make this work but i probably shouldnt send it all lol

its mostly based on the implementation of abilities in betmma's mods

[red flower]

im mostly interested in the button part

or is it just a vanilla thing

[narrow iron]

# remove use button from biome cards

    }}
  end
'''
match_indent = false

[narrow iron]

its all vanilla as far as i know

its works perfectly fine when its in a consumable slot

[red flower]

It's because G.consumeables has it's own logic for buttons

[narrow iron]

ahhh

[gusty iron]

Ill just go with the honors system, because

Op saturday = funny

[red flower]

You will probably need to hook/patch card:highlight kinda like you do here but for your custom cardarea

i can send my code where i do that if you want but its somewhat complicated by this point haha

[hollow marsh]

Is it possible to totally change the main menu background to a different animation or even like a video

[gusty iron]

uh

any help with formatting

[narrow iron]

i can probably manage if i know how G.consumables handles it

[red flower]

how are you writing the description

[gusty iron]

it pulls the string ability from a table

[red flower]

i would need to see the code to understand what that means lol

[gusty iron]

it pulls it from here, and puts it into the ability

[red flower]

heres is how i do it if it helps https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/fb16223af3fe80af6b97c41c2dc7e27307014512/src/general_ui.lua#L307

[red flower]

oh ok, the formatting doesn't work in vars

[gusty iron]

oh

[red flower]

you need to either: set up a localization file and return a new key in loc_vars for each day OR use main_end and make a UI table

(or do a complicated set up with variable colors but i dont recommend that)

[gusty iron]

ill just

have no formatting

itll look odd and i think that would be funny

This is cool

[narrow iron]

wait, does Card:highlighted even set the sell button? it looks like it only sets use_button

[red flower]

use_button is all the buttons

[narrow iron]

oh

thank you!

[broken rivet]

well i got it to work correctly

[gusty iron]

okay so, in a joker, how would i access the current mult and chips?

[faint yacht]

Chips and mult scored so far by the hand?

hand_chips and mult are globals.

[ruby delta]

Can anyone help me in turning Toml lovely patches into Smods

[narrow iron]

that mostly depends on what the patch is doing

[rich dragon]

how do i edit a joker's description with debug+? is it even possible?

i know how to edit the values (ex hanging chad = 10 retriggers)

[rough furnace]

Its the same as the name but its called text instead of name

And it's a list of strings instead of a string

[broken rivet]

how would i get the chips value of a playing card

trying to do this as a hand is being played

[sonic cedar]

will this work? like make the sticker only joker-applicable, so if a card (like 8 ball) creates a consumable then the consumable wont have the sticker?

[old bane]

how do i check if i beat a boss blind

[bright axle]

what editors you use?

[narrow iron]

consumables can have a calculate function right?

[bright axle]

how you set up a localization config for jokers mods?

[proud moon]

fun fact, when typing In text code"

you can use ``lua to make it lua colored

[faint yacht]

[ There are many supported languages in such. ]

[proud moon]

i had no idea until yesterday lol

[proud moon]

code editors? I use VSC because it links to github and has a million plugins

[zealous glen]

# EAT
 *THIS*
 * JOKER

[proud moon]

yummers

[tall wharf]

we eating good tonight

[bright axle]

and what lua exension you have bcs all i use give me errors

[proud moon]

none actually, i use a c# one because i like how it colors things, i just use an ai to check my syntax instead of an extension

i also just havent found an lua one i like

[bright axle]

ok

makes sense

how you set up a localization config for jokers mods?

[proud moon]

to be fair, i started using lua 5 days or so ago, so im not the best to respond to your question, but i didnt see anyone else respond

[proud moon]

its in the smodded docs, ill grab a link

[bright axle]

i seen te template but i think it is for controls

[placid star]

erm guys does context.selling_self work?

[proud moon]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization

i also have no clue for the controls, i have yet to get into localization

[narrow iron]

i thnk you should use

remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
  return true
end,

for that

obv with the code you actually want to use put into there

[dreamy thunder]

it should i think

[placid star]

isnt that for if its removed? including if destroyed by smth like ankh? i want it so its only when actually sold

[narrow iron]

ah okay

yea that wont help there

[dreamy thunder]

it does ^^

[narrow iron]

i meant the solution i gave

[dreamy thunder]

i corrected myself

i mean

not corrected

[proud moon]

the wiki says yea

[tall wharf]

is it possible for blinds to throw hands using calculate function

this is what i wanna do

[zealous glen]

Can't you throw hands the usual way?

[limber blaze]

you should use debuff_hand

as a function in the blinds definition

[tall wharf]

the debuff hand doesn't have arguments for cards in hand

[tall wharf]

so I'm asking if there's a better way to do it

[limber blaze]

just check G.hand

i dont think theres any other way to do this

other than manually checking G.hand.cards

[tall wharf]

do i also need to check game state

[limber blaze]

i think you just need to make sure that the blind isnt disabled

[tall wharf]

oh about that i wanted to make it so that you can't disable it either way

[zealous glen]

You can just access them directly

[narrow iron]

for some reason the calculate function in the card i made isnt running

[zealous glen]

G.hand

[narrow iron]

this isnt ever running

[zealous glen]

you don't need to access everything via the context

[limber blaze]

just make sure to use :is_face so you instantly lose if you have eternal pareidolia

[narrow iron]

oh, will cards still calculate if they arent in a vanilla cardArea?

if not, how can i make them calculate in the modded cardArea too?

[tall wharf]

sucks to suck

[limber blaze]

i mean yeah thats the point

[tall wharf]

these won't appear until ante 9 anyway

[zealous glen]

SMODS provides a patch target to add custom CardAreas

[narrow iron]

how do i do that

[zealous glen]

something like:

# Zodiac calculation
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = '=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]'
match_indent = true
position = 'before'
pattern = '-- TARGET: add your own CardAreas for joker evaluation'
payload = '''
if not VIC_ALPHA_RELEASE then
    local vic_joker_idx = 0
    for k, v in ipairs(t) do
        vic_joker_idx = vic_joker_idx + 1
        if v == G.jokers then
        break
        end
    end
    table.insert(t, vic_joker_idx, G.ca_vic_zodiac)
end
'''

[narrow iron]

oh thats what the target comments mean

[zealous glen]

I'm searching the table to choose exactly when my CardArea is calculated

[narrow iron]

G.ca_vic_zodiac is your CardArea right?

[zealous glen]

Yes

[narrow iron]

that fixed my issue!

thanks

[steady smelt]

how do you check if high constrast is on or not?

[zealous glen]

I think like this

[steady smelt]

does that work for smods too? since it splits it into separate high constrast settings per suit?

[zealous glen]

smods does what now

[steady smelt]

yeah there's still the toggle in settings but there's also a toggle per suit in customize deck

unless i'm just crazy

[narrow iron]

yea

its there

[placid star]

deadass wtf, this code adds 17 AT THE END OF EVERY ROUND TO heldfor

[zealous glen]

I didn't know about the per suit toggle

so I have no idea

[zealous glen]

Jokers apply effects at the end of round, and they also apply individual effects at the end of round

And maybe there's repetitions at the end of round

[lucid owl]

put a return of some kind

[narrow iron]

what does the "Mipmap level" do?

[zealous glen]

So you need to check for more context

[lucid owl]

even just a blank return

[zealous glen]

it's something to do with textures

I don't think we should care about it

[dapper sun]

how do i change a joker's atlas position depending on a config variable?

[placid star]

yeah that didnt work...

[narrow iron]

uhh, this is deleting every card held in hand when i play a hand

oh nvm

im returning true no matter what

[zealous glen]

maybe check Bunco's tape

[zealous glen]

@placid star

[dapper sun]

bunco's tape?

[zealous glen]

yes

bunco's tape

the tape from bunco

idk the name

I just know it's a tape

[placid star]

oh wat other context would u think?

[dapper sun]

ok i looked at it and nope

[zealous glen]

hm?

[dapper sun]

it has each joker as its own png

[bright axle]

has sombody localized a mod before?

[zealous glen]

someone has

[bright axle]

is bcs i have a localization/"lang".lua and the joker has a blank name and desk onn avery lang "lang" is the lang code

[zealous glen]

what's the localization file looking like

[bright axle]

return {
    descriptions = {
        Joker = {
            cdv_cosmic_devourer = {
                name = 'Cosmic Devourer',
                text = {"{C:legendary}Legendary{} Joker", "When leaving shop, {C:red}consume{} random Joker",
                        "Gain {C:mult}+#1#{} Mult and {C:chips}+#1#{} Chips",
                        "Create {C:dark_edition}Negative{} copy of", "consumed Joker {C:inactive}(Excludes self)"}
            }
        }
    },
    misc = {
        labels = {
            k_cosmic_feast = "Devoured {C:attention}#1#!",
            a_cosmic_power = "+#1# Mult, +#2# Chips"
        }
    }
}

[zealous glen]

missing a j_

[wind steppe]

does anyone know how to make the amount of chips this joker gains a variable?

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'Blue Card',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Blue Card',
        text = {
            'This Joker gains {C:blue}+10{} Chips',
            'when any {C:attention}Booster Pack{} is opened.',
            '{C:inactive}(Currently {}{C:blue}+#1#{} {C:inactive}Chips){}'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    config = { extra = {
        chips = 0
    }
    },
    rarity = 1,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.chips}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.open_booster and not context.blueprint then 
            card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + 10 -- TODO: find out how to make the  chips it scales by a variable
            return {
                message = 'Upgrade!',
                colour = G.C.BLUE
            }
        elseif context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips
            }
        end
    end
}

[zealous glen]

j_PREFIX_JOKERNAME

[bright axle]

ok

thx

[limber blaze]

variables in config can be named anything but chip_mod or extra is probably your best bet

[zealous glen]

you can define it inside config.extra

[limber blaze]

then you refer to it the same as extra.chips

[vernal path]

I'm doing some bug testing- how does one log something to the console?

[wind steppe]

i used chip_add = 10 and chips = 0 and it gives me this

[bright axle]

print()

[limber blaze]

whats loc_vars look like

[vernal path]

oh, i may be stupid hang on

[wind steppe]

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

[limber blaze]

youll want to return multiple vars

{ vars = {card.ability.extra.chip_add, card.ability.extra.chips}}

#1# will always refer to the first one here then #2# the second etc

so if you dont return enough vars it defaults to nil

[pliant totem]

Can anyone tell me how I would display a message on a joker from the "add_to_deck" function? My first thought was to just send {message = "insert message"} in the return statement just like you would at the end of the calculate function, but that isn't doing anything. Figured it out, I used SMODS.calculate_effect({effects}, card)

[narrow iron]

whats the proper way to use context.repetition?

[proud moon]

The rep context has examples displayed in the smod example jokers in the sock and buskin section

[midnight coyote]

how do i make a card debuff itself

[bright axle]

how can i localize the name and desc of a mod?

[faint yacht]

SMODS.debuff_card(card, true, card)

[midnight coyote]

thanks

can i replace card with self in this instance

or must i use card

wait

stupiud question

n vm

[rugged pier]

how do you change them btw? i get the flip thing but is it like flip -> destroy -> create? dont they have their own animations too

[narrow iron]

whats gone wrong here?

[broken rivet]

card.ability.odds probably?

[narrow iron]

nope that works

i think SMODS.has_enhancement is getting a nil value somehow

[broken rivet]

oh

[narrow iron]

but im just giving it context.other_card at times when context.other_card shouldnt be nil

[broken rivet]

yea

i'm not experienced enough to give much advice here

[rugged pier]

the context.destroy_card does not have context.other_card in it i think

[old bane]

i think in context.destroying_card, context.destroy_card is its version of context.other_card

[rugged pier]

in the calculate function, can you use self to change the key and atlas of a joker ?

or is it just card.key

[narrow iron]

yep that fixed it

[old bane]

are you trying to change the sprite of it? because i don't think changing the key and atlas directly would change the sprite (i would know because i tried that myself)

[rugged pier]

ah

well there goes that idea

ill just have to destroy and create then

[old bane]

there's an example of like

someone changing the sprite

but i don't remember who did it

i'd say look at like

[rugged pier]

i want to change like everything about the joker

after a few rounds

[old bane]

oh look at cryptid's double sided then

[rugged pier]

oh sick

tysm

[old bane]

ofc

[red flower]

do you need all instances of the joker to be changed or just one of them

[rugged pier]

each joker would have its own round counter

so if you had a showman and bought the same joker in the next round, then it would transform one round after original

so just one of them i suppose?

[red flower]

ok if it's just an instance at a time you can do joker:set_ability("j_modprefix_otherkey")

[rugged pier]

oh sick and that chages everything about the joker? loc_vars, calculate, sprite, etc

[red flower]

yeah, it makes it into the other joker

[rugged pier]

this is awesome

youre the goat

[red flower]

but keeps editions and stickers i think

[rugged pier]

that should be fine since the joker its changing into cannot be bought

its an upgrade

[red flower]

with "i think" i mean i dont know if it keeps anything else, i know it keeps that

[rugged pier]

so the stickers should remain

makes sense, thank you

[broken rivet]

is it possible to track the number of hands played in an ante

[rugged pier]

if context.end_of_round then
            card.ability.extra.rounds = card.ability.extra.rounds - 1
            if card.ability.extra.rounds == 0 then
                card:set_ability('j_csmr_ladymistborn')
            end
        end

like so?

[red flower]

yeah

[rugged pier]

awesome

[red flower]

remember that end_of_round runs multiple times

[rugged pier]

it does?

okay yeah it does...

now why would it do that

does context.setting_blind do that too?

[steady smelt]

so does smods just fully make the high contrast setting in options not do anything at all in favor of the individual suit toggles in the customize deck menu? that's what it seems like but i can't quite tell

[sonic cedar]

do any of you know any mod incompatibilities that would cause this error?
[SMODS _ "src/overrides.lua"]:1669: attempt to index local '_center' (a nil value)

line 1669:

[midnight coyote]

oh hi toma

[sonic cedar]

basil,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[midnight coyote]

im just getting back into the groove of my mod lol

took a fat break

[sonic cedar]

was it you who pinged me i think it got lost in the chat

[rugged pier]

i did

[midnight coyote]

idk

[rugged pier]

😅

[sonic cedar]

ohhhhh hey

[rugged pier]

halo

[sonic cedar]

well what happened (i cannot find it for the life of me)

[rugged pier]

no worries, i was wondering if you achieved this by doing this
card:flip()
card:set_ability('j_csmr_ladymistborn')

[sonic cedar]

yeah

its an event

[rugged pier]

do you do it within context.end of round ? because when i try to do the same a. it runs that particular context multiple times, b. it stays flipped for a long time before flipping back in the middle of the cashout screen

[sonic cedar]

    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = "after",
        delay = 0.15,
        func = function()
            card:flip()
            return true
        end,
    }))
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = "after",
        delay = 0.15,
        func = function()
            card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["j_yourmodid_yourjoker"])
            play_sound("card1")
            card:juice_up(0.3, 0.3)
            return true
        end,
    }))
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = "after",
        delay = 0.15,
        func = function()
            card:flip()
            return true
        end,
    }))

[rugged pier]

legend

what context dod you use for it

[sonic cedar]

whatever context i want it to occur in

[rugged pier]

right because i learnt today context.end_of_round runs multiple times so i was wondering if this would make it flip unlip multiple times if i were to define it within that

but i suppose once the ability is changed, it wouldnt happen?

[sonic cedar]

i actually need to see if ive done it in end_of_round before

iiii have not

[rugged pier]

ah i see

so in the video what context was it?

[sonic cedar]

in the what

oh MY video

well thats golden joker

so

[rugged pier]

here

ah

[sonic cedar]

it's in calc_dollar_bonus

[rugged pier]

i see okay that makes sense

[hasty mist]

i'm trying to write a function using a mathematical formula, is this correct?

[rugged pier]

you did it so its not connected to the round stages but rather the joker itself

[sonic cedar]

i think?

[sonic cedar]

mystic summit example

[rugged pier]

ah

makes sense

[hasty mist]

also, is there a way to perform arithmetic on your score after the ChipsXMult operation?

ive been looking into multiple ideas but im a bit stumped

since literally nobody has done this before to my knowledge

Hey chat

im trying to make what i thought was a simple mod, but has quickly proven troublesome.

i want all stickers except gold (including no sticker) to show up as red x's and gold stickers to show up as green checkmarks. The issue arisies from me not super understanding how to get this to work with malverk.

I looked at similar mods and found the less intrusive sticker mod, but that isnt malverk compatible and i would like my mod to be

any help/resources is greatly appreciated!

I can also share my current code if wanted

[red flower]

it runs individually for each card with context.individual
you can do this (i have a snippet for it)

[rugged pier]

ah okay, thank you

[rustic swallow]

how do you check if a specific poker had is played (not if it contains it)

[sonic cedar]

could you not just do
if context.before and next(context.poker_hands['Straight']) and not next(context.poker_hands['Straight Flush']) and not context.blueprint then
or something

[faint yacht]

context.scoring_name?

[hasty mist]

is there a list of every "context" and what they do anywhere

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions lists a bunch in groups.

[rugged pier]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then
            print('step one')
            for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                print('i am in loop')
                if v:is_preservation() and not SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_glass') then
                    print('this is preservation card')
                    if pseudorandom('lady_mistborn') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/card.ability.extra.odds then
                        print('being glassed')
                        v:juice_up()
                        v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_glass, nil, true)
                        SMODS.calculate_effect({message = 'Glassed!'}, card)
                    else
                        print('not being glassed')
                        SMODS.calculate_effect({message = localize('k_nope_ex')}, card)
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end

what am i doing wrong here, im getting no prints in my game

like even print('step one') this isnt happening

[daring fern]

context.cardarea == G.play doesn't exist in context.before

[rugged pier]

documentation wrong?

[faint yacht]

-# This is for a Joker, Enhancement or what?

[rugged pier]

joker

[faint yacht]

Then use G.jokers.

[rugged pier]

huh

in what case would you use G.play?

[daring fern]

Probably for enhancements.

[rugged pier]

i see...

[rustic swallow]

it worked thx

[sonic cedar]

np!

[hasty mist]

what have i done wrong here? i'm trying to take the additive factorial of the round score after the ChipsXMult operation

[pliant totem]

What area/table are cards in when you open them in a booster pack while they are waiting for the player to make a selection?

I tried G.hand.cards, but that wasn't it

[faint yacht]

G.pack.cards

[daring fern]

It's G.pack_cards.cards

[pliant totem]

ty

[faint yacht]

-# I am not immune to getting things close, but still wrong.

[hasty mist]

bump

crashes when playing a hand with "attempt to call a table value"

[limber blaze]

missing a *

inbetween the two two_bigs()

[hasty mist]

ah i see

i havent mastered syntax yet

i think i've gotten the context wrong lmao

it's performing the operation, but only before playing a hand

for some reason

literally the opposite of what the documentation says

Does anyone know what the context is for right when a hand is finished playing/after the ChipsXMult operation?

so, after all the scoring?

as you can see, it's modifying the round score, but only before scoring

i want it to work after scoring

[red flower]

everything you do in calculate runs before scoring, the steps apply for what you return in calculate

[lament agate]

im a bit lost in here, am i doing it right

[hasty mist]

how would i run it after scoring then?

[red flower]

an event probably

[hasty mist]

hm

[steady smelt]

anyone have experience with drawing an extra layer on top of cards with an enhancement? i thought i had it working by just setting a sprite and using draw_shader('dissolve', ...) but it doesn't show up with certain editions for some reason (any besides foil

[rapid stag]

question, what happens if two different mods try to take_ownership() the same thing, for different purposes?

for instance, mod A wants to alter... uhhhhh... let's say certificate? to adjust it to account for some custom seal it adds (even though this is a bad example and you'd probably do that by hooking poll_seal(), bur there's probably some kind of mod functionality that requires a take_ownership() to properly accommodate it, idk) and mod B wants to alter it to redefine its loc_vars to make it have a main_end for whatever reason - maybe smth like predicting the card and seal it'll create, idk not that great an example, but yeah

what happens? do those two things conflict or what

[daring fern]

They both should do it in order of priority.

[rapid stag]

i thought as much, but i didn't want to assume

[proud moon]

ok, i want to make a joker only show up when a mult card is enhanced in the deck, like how luckycat and glass joker work. where would i go about writing that? i know it cant go in the joker function, would i need to make a new function at the end or is there an easy way to just use the one the game uses?

[faint yacht]

Use the in_pool function. If return true, the Joker will appear in the Joker pool. If return false, it will not.

[steady smelt]

don't do that, jokers have a function specifically for that

set enhancement_gate = 'm_mult' in your joker definition

same place you define rarity cost etc

[faint yacht]

-# Ah, another undocumented feature.

[steady smelt]

but for stuff other than specifically enhancement requirements yeah the in_pool function works

[hasty mist]

i'm not sure how to use events to make this work

[red flower]

what's the problem

[hasty mist]

i've never worked with events before

[proud moon]

YES, thank you. i knew there was something like that but i didnt know what it was

[red flower]

I think this might work for your effect

im not sure if the ease event gets blocked tho

[hasty mist]

hm

[red flower]

if not then you want to do

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function() 
        -- your effect
        return true
    end,
}))

[hasty mist]

alright i'll try this

[wind steppe]

does anyone know how i could make a joker that only activates once per shop? (also I'd like the description to change depending on whether it's active or inactive)

[hasty mist]

where is the syntax error here im so lost

[gilded narwhal]

hey guys is there an inherant way to change the spawn rate of specific sets of consumables without using something like soul_rate?

I have my own set of planet cards that kind of clog up the planet pool for other modded planets, so I want to make all planet cards that aren't in my mod or vanilla 3x more likely to appear to balance that out

[blissful lance]

Hello, I'm really new to modding and I'm trying to make a tarot which enhances a card, but I cant find a function like "set_edition" for enhancement, am I missing something ?

[red flower]

you're missing an end before the return

also don't check for the context inside the event do it outside

[hasty mist]

oh i think i see

[red flower]

oh and inside calculate lol

[hasty mist]

this is so weird lmao

[steady smelt]

enhancement conversion tarots are built in, set effect = "Enhance" and config = { mod_conv = key, max_highlighted = # }

and if you want to be consistent add it to the info_queue to make it the enhancement's description show up on the side by adding info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS[self.config.mod_conv] in the loc_vars function

-# dm me if you need more help this is a probably a lot if you're new

[blissful lance]

Ohhh so that's why, thank you very much 👍

[red flower]

should be like this

[hasty mist]

is this right?

oh wait

yeah

that seems right

doesn't seem to be doing anything ingame though

[red flower]

is it the same as before

[hasty mist]

wdym

[red flower]

like, is it not working or is it doing the same thing as it was before?

[hasty mist]

it's doing nothing

actually

let me double check

[red flower]

oh you might need to manually update the text if you do it after scoring

G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips)

[steady smelt]

i haven't done any personally that trigger on/after the final scoring step so i don't know for sure but the ones i have done I always have return the chips/mult value so i assume you'd need to do that after calculating it no?

[hasty mist]

i cant even tell what its doing at this point

[steady smelt]

i think you're just setting your round score chips value which does nothing because it's immediately overwritten by the actual scoring bit

one sec lemme try

[red flower]

maybe you need to use after yeah

[hasty mist]

wdym

[red flower]

like you might need context.after

instead

[hasty mist]

ah

right

[red flower]

have you tried this

[hasty mist]

wait i think it works already hold on

this seems correct

[scarlet thorn]

I would think update_hand_text() would be preferable

[red flower]

ive never heard of that lmao

wait no

isnt that for the poker hand

[clear eagle]

I wanted to develop a mod; anyone have any suggestions where to start?

[scarlet thorn]

used 42 times compared to setting G.GAME.blind.chip_text manually being only used once, and thats defining the ui

[daring fern]

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

[faint yacht]

Simple Jokers first, then branch out to consumables and such.

[red flower]

but i dont think they do the same?

[faint yacht]

also oops.

[hasty mist]

can vouch, this is where i started too !

[hasty mist]

it seems to work without this

unless i misunderstood you

[scarlet thorn]

What is the exact result wanting to be achieved?

[red flower]

changing the scored chips

not the poker hand text

[scarlet thorn]

Grey or blue

[red flower]

grey

[scarlet thorn]

G.GAME.chips

not chip_text

[red flower]

every time im helping someone you come in the middle of the conversation and give solutions confidently without understanding the context lmao

[hasty mist]

ive already achieved the desired effect lol

[hexed stump]

Does anyone know what file contexts are defined in?

[hasty mist]

tysm for the help

[hexed stump]

be it vanilla or smods

[red flower]

many of them

look for SMODS.calculate_context

[hexed stump]

I've not had much luck tracking down what I'm looking for w/ that but I'll give it another go

[red flower]

what are you looking for?

[scarlet thorn]

You gave the wrong answer to their problem?

[red flower]

No I didn't, read what I said immediately before

[hasty mist]

they didn't

[hexed stump]

one sec, I may have actually found it. I'm still on my context.stay_flipped shit

trying to figure out if I can grab where the card is coming from so my stuff stops getting affected on the way to play and when they're discarded/exit play

[red flower]

it should have to_area and from_area

[hexed stump]

okay cool that's what I thought

I swear I tried that before and it didn't work

okay, it does seem to tentatively work! maybe I just missed something last time

[hybrid fiber]

im trying to modify joker stickers without modifing the stake icons, but right now this is doing the opposite-- can anyone give suggestions?

whats the crash log?

[hexed stump]

thanks N, that was totally it, I think I just mistyped something last time I tried it

[red flower]

get rid of these commas

[gilded narwhal]

guys how does telescope work

I can't find the code for it

[red flower]

it's in card.lua

[gilded narwhal]

oh i was using the wrong pluralization for telescope when I was searching lmao

[red flower]

you should set up your editor so it warns you

[hasty mist]

i love being evil

[rustic swallow]

how do you detect the amount of cards played in a hand

[sturdy compass]

#G.play.cards

if you just want scored cards it'd be #context.scoring_hand

[lucid owl]

trying to get the number of unique ranks in the player's hand, why is this still crashing from G.hand.cards being nil when hovered over? how do i cover for if it's nil (just returning a 0 instead)?

[red flower]

check for just G.hand instead

[lucid owl]

weird, alright

[red flower]

G.hand is nil if you are outside of a game so if you do G.hand.cards you're indexing a nil value

[lucid owl]

ah, that makes sense

works now, ty!

[sonic cedar]

to clear this blind, you only have to score 200!

[steady smelt]

i am going insane why doesn't this drawstep render when the card has an edition

[coral flume]

If Im trying to grab a random, suit and rank should I just use the same functions as Idol? or must I make my own function

[runic pecan]

bump

[rugged pier]

how exactly do quantum enhancements work?

this is the only reference in documentation

I know they let you use any enhancement without actually applying the enhancement itself but how would you use it

^unless im mistaken on how they actually work

[stiff locust]

does anyone know where i could find legendary backgrounds without the nameplates

[daring fern]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1238654488131272729

[stiff locust]

thanks

[reef belfry]

does context.full_hand take unscored cards too

[stiff locust]

G.play.cards takes unscored cards

idk about context.full_hand

[crisp coral]

yes

[stiff locust]

how do I add a playing card to the deck

[crisp coral]

certificate/marble joker

[stiff locust]

both of those are random cards

i need to add a specific card

[crisp coral]

then modify that card idk

[shut crater]

does anyone know how to modify the layering of objects? A cardarea I created is sitting on top of a joker so I can't click or move the joker

the answer was card.children

[reef belfry]

jarvis, how do you use context.modify_scoring_hand

[stiff locust]

how do i grab a card's suit

i don't wanna check it against another suit i wanna save it as a value

so is_suit("Hearts") doesn't work here

[daring fern]

card.base.suit and checking that it doesn't have no suit.

[stiff locust]

oh god what the hell do I do if a card has no suit

it shouldn't because this is happening at the very very start of a run

ii'll just make it default to clubs because i like that suit

[native zinc]

has anyone noticed gluttonous joker is spelled wrong in its id

i was breaking my mind for like a good 10 minutes because of this

[stiff locust]

yeah

canio is also spelled wrong in there

as j_caino

[native zinc]

impressive

[daring fern]

caino heirophant consumeables aswell.

[stiff locust]

everyone knows about consumeables

[native zinc]

consumeables pissed me off a lot

[stiff locust]

yeah i have no idea how to make a playing card

it's crashing attempt to index P what the fuck is P

oh my god

[daring fern]

Did you put a . instead of an _ when refrencing something like G.P_CARDS

[stiff locust]

yes

yes I did

I've done this so often

well

this is the exact opposite of what I wanted.

[reef belfry]

[stiff locust]

i'm trying to add more face cards

??????

why did it remove one of the jacks

why are there two extra 5s

IT'S RANDOM

WHY IS IT RANDOM

[tepid crow]

Magic ✨

[stiff locust]

erratic deck called

it wants its job back

fuck man

im changing my approach

fuck adding playing cards this shit dumb as hell

[steady smelt]

why does applying the negative then the negative_shine shaders to a sprite seem to make it way way more shiny than actual negative cards? comparing directly side by side

[stiff locust]

alright how do I change card ranks then

surely that will be easier

SMODS.change_base(value, nil, "11") isn't working

value is an existing card it doesn't crash

it just doesn't do anything

[reef belfry]

dont you have to assert it

assert(SMODS.change_base(value, nil, "11"))

[stiff locust]

it crashes when i assert it

I used to assert it but removing the assert made it work for jokers

[reef belfry]

rah.. idk

[daring fern]

Doesn't assert just crash the game if what it contains returns false?

[stiff locust]

assert is my mortal enemy

anyway how do I make ts work

[reef belfry]

hmm

[daring fern]

This is what strength does.

[stiff locust]

this doesn't make sense to me

i'm stupid

help how am i deleting the whole deck here - point is to destroy 2 cards if first played hand had only 2 cards

[coral flume]

Anyone know whats going wrong here?

[daring fern]

You don't start_dissolve when using context.destroy_card

remove = true already does that.

[rugged pier]

ah

[rugged pier]

so i just remove the event then?

[daring fern]

You should be doing ```lua
if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and #context.full_hand == 2 then
return {remove = true}
end

[rugged pier]

how does it know which card to get rid of

[daring fern]

Your destroying the whole played hand if there are only 2 cards played right?

[rugged pier]

yeah

ah okay so it only needs a sepcification when im not removing the whole hand

it doesnt care about those held in hands or joker area

awesome

thanks this works

[reef belfry]

well that doesnt seem right

[coral flume]

The text is sample text copied from another joker so it looks messed up. please ignore the top line

[daring fern]

What does your joker do?

[coral flume]

Creates a [Tarot] when played hand contains a [Rank] and a [Suit]

[rugged pier]

this seems to only remove scored cards

[daring fern]

Replace context.cardarea == G.play with (context.cardarea == G.play or context.cardarea == 'unscored')

[rugged pier]

awesome ty

[daring fern]

You need to put localize(G.GAME.current_round.alchemist_suit.rank, 'ranks')

[coral flume]

Still aint working, maybe I messed up to hook

Its using some of example jimbos code for hooks

[daring fern]

Did you replace localize(G.GAME.current_round.alchemist_suit.rank)?

[tall wharf]

chat am i cooking

[coral flume]

Yup

i think

[tall wharf]

i azm stupid

[shut crater]

ok I thought I knew what I was doing but I'm still running into issues. Does anyone know things about card draw order?

currently: joker has a child cardarea, cards in cardarea draw on top of joker
goal: joker draws on top of cardarea

[tall wharf]

i hope to god this works

[digital niche]

what is the context for cards held in hand?

[daring fern]

context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand

[digital niche]

tyty!

[wintry solar]

It does depend on what you’re wanting them to do though

[digital niche]

just a enhancement that gives $6 when held in hand

like steel joker but gives $6 dollars

[wintry solar]

After scoring or during scoring?

[digital niche]

after scoring

[wintry solar]

context.after and context.cardarea == G.hand

[digital niche]

tyy!

[tall wharf]

is that it

[digital niche]

what are you trying to do?

[tall wharf]

if hand no straight base mult and chips are 1

[digital niche]

i think you should make

vars = {ch = 1, mult = 1} instead of just vars = {1, 1}

but ive never messed with debuff or blind so im not sure

ive only messed with enhancements and some jokers so far

[zealous glen]

I think as is it should work

But I haven’t used collection localization variables

I just imagine they have the same syntax

[zealous glen]

Why use the Blind to save the values though?

It is better coding practice but the way Blinds are implemented it’s more like jank IMO

[digital niche]

what is the context for enhancements giving ppoints when held? like during scoring, like the steel card make

i forgor

and i lost the code that already had it

[willow plinth]

guys i'm safe: https://typescripttolua.github.io/ 🤙

[tall wharf]

You are not safe.

[willow plinth]

no?

[tall wharf]

Did you make a Vtuber typescript logo

no

they even have this: https://github.com/hazzard993/love-typescript-definitions

[digital niche]

why is it saying nil?

[daring fern]

Do you have loc_vars?

[digital niche]

yeah

[daring fern]

What does it look like?

[digital niche]

oh nvm its h_x_mult when it should be just x_mult

[willow plinth]

glad you found your issue, but a monospaced font could help you identifying problems faster btw

[digital niche]

what is a monospaced font?

[willow plinth]

a font where every character has the same width

[willow plinth]

look at this for example

[digital niche]

ooh gotcha gotcha, ty!

[willow plinth]

it seems like just another preference thing but trust me

github has a nice free font here: https://monaspace.githubnext.com/

but there's a lot online

[digital niche]

how do i make it so a card only is removed after it is fully scored?

i have a card that after 3 uses is destroyed, but as soon as it is used the last time it is destroyed before scored

[daring fern]

Use context.destroy_card

[digital niche]

how would i use it?

[daring fern]

Replace the remove one with ```lua
if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea = G.play then
return {remove = true}
end

[digital niche]

but then how will the game know that it have to destroy after 0 uses?

[daring fern]

Also check for that.

i think ill just catch some sleep and try again tomorrow, its already 5:34AM and i dont sleep since 11AM from yesterday

im too eepy to figure out how to do things

gngn

[rustic swallow]

how do you make a joker that bases its values from joker slots like joker stencil

[digital niche]

try checking into stencil's code! always gives a little help to look at how balatro does things

[digital niche]

something with G.jokers.config.card_limit

[digital niche]

if self.ability.name == "Joker Stencil" then
                            if (G.jokers.config.card_limit - #G.jokers.cards) > 0 then
                                return {
                                    message = localize{type='variable',key='a_xmult',vars={self.ability.x_mult}},
                                    Xmult_mod = self.ability.x_mult
                                }
                            end
                        end```

[hasty mist]

what do i put in loc_vars to make this show up properly?

[daring fern]

Change n to score

[hasty mist]

whoops

right

[worn jacinth]

Useful for game text in game dev

[hasty mist]

i also think i've formatted these wrong too

[worn jacinth]

What a unique font to use

[hasty mist]

specifically the #1# part and the +(score) part

[worn jacinth]

Balatro font 💀

[tall wharf]

😭

[shell timber]

how do you use inter mod patching?

[tall wharf]

have target be like
=[SMODS modid filename] i think that's what you are looking for

[shell timber]

oh yeah i figured that out

[hard needle]

what would the loc_vars function for the fortune teller look like

[hard needle]

🤔 alr

[gusty peak]

Function that returns { vars = { card.ability.extra.<variable for mult gain>, card.ability.extra.<current mult variable> }}

[shell timber]

this was annoying to add but now colour cards have jokerdisplay support

[hard needle]

wait what about steel joker

[daring fern]

It's all in card.lua

[hard needle]

how can i change the required score of the current blind?

[desert ore]

how should I word/format this? should I say "evenly divisible?" should I highlight Total? do I even need the word total?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.blind.chips = number I think.

[hard needle]

🤔 "X3 Mult if total money ends in 5 or 0"

balatro doesn't refer to money as "$$$" i think, as you see with wraith

[desert ore]

ok so the reason I have it not as 5 or 0, is that I might change the divisor to another number

[hard needle]

i feel like 5 is fine anyways

[desert ore]

if I determine 5 is too annoying to get consistently

[hard needle]

X3 Mult if hand is played with $5 or less xD

vagabond but mult fr

[hard needle]

thank you

[desert ore]

ah yeah, couldn't think of an example of the game broadly for money so wasn't sure how to word it

forgot about wraith

oh there's also ox isn't there

ok yeah money works then

[hard needle]

yeah that too

[red flower]

how did u do it? maybe i can add it natively

[tall wharf]

what if money has a decimal point

[desert ore]

I mean that just can't happen in vanilla right, and I wouldn't have any like that in my mod

[tall wharf]

people put a bunch of small mods together

i know one of my boss blind does it

[desert ore]

hmm

I don't know how it functions atm

with decimals
