[steady smelt]

i want to have multiple frames shown on top of each other layered but not by setting multiple sprites

[faint yacht]

Layered... need to add more layers to be drawn then.

[steady smelt]

so like x=1, y=1 and x=1, y=2 both layered on top of each other combined in-code

then the combined sprite set as card.children.center

but not by setting multiple sprites

[faint yacht]

-# Not sure about such being a possibility in the way you imply it, then.

[gusty iron]

-# a little help here please

[blissful lance]

Maybe you can change the sprite and draw the card each time you change it?

[steady smelt]

i know there are ways to do it natively in other languages but not sure about lua or if there's something built in to balatro

[steady smelt]

that is also not what i was asking

[faint yacht]

[gusty peak]

trying to find the color scheme

in vanila code

[gusty iron]

yeah thanks

[dapper sun]

how do i unlock a joker from inside another?

[gusty iron]

loc_vars = function()
  return {
    vars = {
      G.GAME.hands["JCJ_fullerhouse"].level,
  colours = { 
    G.C.HAND_LEVELS[math.min(7,
      G.GAME.hands["JCJ_fullerhouse"].level
    )]
  }
      G.GAME.hands["JCJ_fullerhouse"].l_mult,
      G.GAME.hands["JCJ_fullerhouse"].l_chips
    }
  }
end,

does this work?

[stiff locust]

how do I change the rank of a playing card

[blissful lance]

is there a way to manually trigger the "x1.5" message for the jokers for example, because I'm making a joker kinda like glass joker

[gusty peak]

put colours after everything else in vars

[stiff locust]

neither worked

[gusty iron]

...uh

[stiff locust]

the code ran but it did nothing

asserting them caused crashes and doing it without asserting only works on jokers

i need to do this during a deck's apply function

i wanna change the starting deck

[red flower]

idk much about decks but maybe the problem is the timing, are you doing it inside an event?

[gusty peak]

  G.GAME.hands["..."].level == 1 and G.C.UI.TEXT_DARK
  or G.C.HAND_LEVELS[math.min(7, G.GAME.hands["..."].level)]

try this

[gusty iron]

which line do i replace

[gusty peak]

in colours

[spiral hawk]

I might need help with a custom joker

[gusty iron]

JIPPIE

[gusty peak]

try upgrading hand

[stiff locust]

yeah

am i supposed to do that/not supposed to do that

[red flower]

youre supposed to do it

[stiff locust]

okay

well then idk

[red flower]

yeah its weird

[gusty iron]

i totally matched the style

okay time to make the other 3 hands

[tall kestrel]

what are you going to call them?

[midnight coyote]

how can i make an enhancement check if it’s getting taken away

[tall kestrel]

man I don't know modding but i think this will have the answers you need

[steady smelt]

how would i make a joker that prevents cards from being debuffed? should i just iterate through all cards on context.first_hand_drawn and un-debuff them or does that work?

[daring fern]

You could go through G.playing_cards and set card.debuff to false on blind select.

[red flower]

you can also return { prevent_debuff = true } in context.debuff_card i think

[steady smelt]

this doesn't seem to work, i'm assuming the boss blinds set them constantly to make stuff like wild cards enhanced during the round still be debuffed

[steady smelt]

how would I do that?

well actually i want the card to be debuffable if you remove the joker and that's permanent no? so i don't think that would work

[red flower]

im pretty sure it only prevents debuffs in the moment from blind/other cards effects, it doesnt set it permanently

[steady smelt]

okay, how would i actually set that then? like where do i return it

[stiff locust]

where's the code for challenges

if i could just lift the whole deck from the ride the bus challenge that would be convenient

[steady smelt]

challenges.lua last i checked

[red flower]

if context.debuff_card then
  return { prevent_debuff = true }
end

context.debuff_card is the card as well if you need to do any checks

[stiff locust]

deck = {
            cards = {{s='D',r='4',},{s='D',r='5',},{s='D',r='6',},{s='D',r='7',},{s='D',r='8',},{s='D',r='9',},{s='D',r='T',},{s='D',r='J',},{s='D',r='Q',},{s='D',r='K',},{s='D',r='J',},{s='D',r='Q',},{s='D',r='K',},{s='C',r='4',},{s='C',r='5',},{s='C',r='6',},{s='C',r='7',},{s='C',r='8',},{s='C',r='9',},{s='C',r='T',},{s='C',r='J',},{s='C',r='Q',},{s='C',r='K',},{s='C',r='J',},{s='C',r='Q',},{s='C',r='K',},{s='H',r='4',},{s='H',r='5',},{s='H',r='6',},{s='H',r='7',},{s='H',r='8',},{s='H',r='9',},{s='H',r='T',},{s='H',r='J',},{s='H',r='Q',},{s='H',r='K',},{s='H',r='J',},{s='H',r='Q',},{s='H',r='K',},{s='S',r='4',},{s='S',r='5',},{s='S',r='6',},{s='S',r='7',},{s='S',r='8',},{s='S',r='9',},{s='S',r='T',},{s='S',r='J',},{s='S',r='Q',},{s='S',r='K',},{s='S',r='J',},{s='S',r='Q',},{s='S',r='K',}},
            type = 'Challenge Deck'
        },

yeah this doesn't help

[steady smelt]

just in calculate for the joker? or where

[red flower]

yeah in calculate

forgot the return 😛

[steady smelt]

s is suit: D for diamonds, S spades, C clubs, H hearts,
r is rank, numbers are numbers, T for ten, and JKQA are self explanatory

but yeah it's not in a helpful format lol

[stiff locust]

i mean i know what the deck is

but i don't think that helps me when making a custom deck

i just want a deck with a lot of face cards man

destroying the cards and recreating them ended up with random deck layouts and changing the ranks hasn't worked

[red flower]

can you paste the code here i want to test it

[steady smelt]

so then how would i specify if i wanted it to only affect a certain rank or suit? that doesn't seem to even pull the card

[red flower]

this

[steady smelt]

ohh gotcha so if context.debuff_card is just checking that there is a debuffed card at all

sry missed that message

[red flower]

no, it goes through every card even if its not debuffed

(im pretty sure)

[stiff locust]

this should replace 2s with jacks, 3s with queens and 4s with kings
currently it does nothing

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                for index, value in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
                    if not value:is_face() and value:get_id() <= 4 then
                        if value:get_id() == 2 then
                            SMODS.change_base(value, nil, "11")
                        elseif value:get_id() == 3 then
                            SMODS.change_base(value, nil, "12")
                        elseif value:get_id() == 4 then
                            SMODS.change_base(value, nil, "13")
                        end
                    end
                end
                return true
            end
        }))

[sleek siren]

How do I destroy certain cards scored after the cards are played?

[steady smelt]

so like

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.debuff_card then
            if context.debuff_card.is_suit(SMODS.Suits.Hearts) then
                return { prevent_debuff = true }
            end
        end
    end

should make it not debuff just hearts yeah?

[red flower]

:is_suit but yeah

[steady smelt]

right yeah

[sturdy monolith]

how can i make cards highlightable in the collection?

[gusty iron]

yay

[steady smelt]

tysm that did work <3

[faint yacht]

...why not assert() over the changing?

Also, "Jack", "Queen", "King" respectively iirc.

[stiff locust]

it crashes when i do that

[spiral hawk]

Fuck, I never coded in lua before, damn

[stiff locust]

also you have to use numbers for face card rank changes don't you

[red flower]

yeah just realized this as well

[faint yacht]

This function returns nil if it fails, with the second argument being a string with an error message. It is recommended to always wrap calls to it in assert so errors don't go unnoticed.

[red flower]

tested it with queen and worked

[stiff locust]

when you search for them with get_id() you have to search for 13 to get king

what

[spiral hawk]

Welp, I guess I gotta learn something new for once lol

[red flower]

13 is the id "King" is the key basically

[stiff locust]

https://tenor.com/view/cosmog-pokemon-violent-impulses-pokemon-sun-and-moon-alola-gif-26273175

[faint yacht]

function SMODS.change_base(card, suit, rank)
  ...
  local _rank = SMODS.Ranks[rank or card.base.value]
  ...
end

[faint yacht]

That automatically converts to the right internal ID.

[stiff locust]

finally....

well i'm pissed about the solution

but thanks

i can move on now

[spiral hawk]

Hey, uhh…

I have a question

[stiff locust]

misprint uses dynatext

that's how it does the text

[red flower]

change the highlight limits in G.your_collection[index] maybe

[spiral hawk]

If I only want to make the ace of hearts count, how can I do that in Lua?

[red flower]

You want to make only the ace of hearts score?

[spiral hawk]

For X3 mult, yeah

[red flower]

you have a joker that makes each ace of hearts give X3 mult?

[spiral hawk]

I have a prototype of it somewhere

Hold on

[rugged pier]

    config = {extra = { xmult = 1, mult_mod = 0.1, debuffed_cards = {} } },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.setting_blind then
            for k, v in ipairs(card.ability.extra.debuffed_cards) do
                if v ~= nil then
                    v:set_debuff(true)
                end
            end
        end

line 26: v:set_debuff(true)
what am i doing wrong here?

[spiral hawk]

There we go

[red flower]

ohh

[spiral hawk]

Yeah

[red flower]

if context.joker_main then
    for _, scored_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        if scored_card:get_id() == 14 and scored_card:is_suit("Hearts") then
            return {
                xmult = 3
            }
        end
    end
end

something like that

[rugged pier]

think they want full_hand

description says played hand

[spiral hawk]

Something like that

[rugged pier]

bump

[red flower]

what do you want to do?

[rugged pier]

i want to store some cards every round that im debuffing and at the start of the round i want to re-debuff them (since debuffs are reset after each round)

but those cards could potentially get destroyed

[stiff locust]

how do i access a suit color again

[rugged pier]

becoming nil in the debuffed_cards table

[red flower]

you can use context.debuff_card

idk how you would save them properly tho

[spiral hawk]

Screenshotting that because I’m on mobile atm

[stiff locust]

add a property to them card.prefix_debuff and search for that

remove that property from all cards that have it if you get rid of it

[red flower]

maybe yeah

[gusty iron]

2 questions:

How do i make a joker have an unlock requirement
How do i check the sticker a joker has

[rugged pier]

whats this?

[red flower]

idk how that works on reload tho

[stiff locust]

a value stored inside a card

[rugged pier]

ah

[stiff locust]

you can then search for cards that have that value

to save a group of cards

[rugged pier]

right but if another joker sets a debuff, i dont want to interact with those cards

i suppose i could create a card property of my own?

and just loop through all playing cards

[red flower]

thats what she was saying yes

[rugged pier]

oh i thought prefix_debuff is an existing property

[stiff locust]

nope

[rugged pier]

ahh

perfect

thank you so much!

[stiff locust]

you can create your own values whenever

just add your mod prefix

[rugged pier]

gotcha

yup

[stiff locust]

some vanilla cards do this

[gusty iron]

bump

[stiff locust]

like ceremonial dagger uses card.getting_sliced and vamprie uses card.vampired iirc

[stiff locust]

ik the answer to the second one

get_joker_win_sticker(center)

[gusty iron]

waht if i want to check a different joker's sticker

[stiff locust]

unless you mean perishable/rental/eternal as in stickers

[gusty iron]

i mean stake stickers

[stiff locust]

ok well then yeah this

you put the center of the joker whose sticker you wanna check

if you know the key of the joker you can do it like this
G.P_CENTERS.j_splash

but if you don't know the key you can do
G.P_CENTERS["j_splash"]

which is the same as the first one, but you can use a variable to enter that value

it returns as a string in all lowercase

[daring fern]

It would be G.P_CENTERS["j_splash"] without a dot next to the bracket.

[stiff locust]

mb

[rugged pier]

makes sense

[gusty iron]

so how would i check for gold sticker

gold stake sticker, that is

[stiff locust]

if get_joker_win_sticker(G.P_CENTERS.j_splash) == "gold" then

that said

some mods add other stakes

most notably cryptid adds a fuck ton of stakes above gold

[stiff locust]

so if you wanna support that you gotta do some extra stuff since if the sticker is above gold it won't trigger this

[daring fern]

It would be in that case if get_joker_win_sticker(G.P_CENTERS.j_splash, true) >= 8 then I think.

[stiff locust]

no doesn't get_joker_win_sticker return a string

what do you mean you can make it return a number

[wintry solar]

it can return both iirc

[gusty iron]

so would this be right

    check_for_unlock = function(self, args)
        return get_joker_win_sticker(G.P_CENTERS.j_JCJ_jr, true) >= 8
    end

gg

[bright axle]

how can i use a label when i return a message?

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[bright axle]

i what to use a localized mensage

[daring fern]

You do localize('label') I think.

[gusty iron]

im changing its ability, but jippie

[bright axle]

thx it worked

can i retun a messege anywhere i want?

[worldly thicket]

Is there a way to check if the blind that is being set is the Boss Blind?

[stiff locust]

context.setting.blind and G.GAME.blind.boss

[hasty mist]

is it possible to animate the round score when it increases in the same way chips or mult are animated?

[willow plinth]

okay, so apparently interrupting the loading screen breaks G.E_MANAGER? anyone else experienced this?

[hasty mist]

right now it just sorta instantly gets set to the number, while chips and mult bounce slightly when increased

[willow plinth]

can you share the code for that joker? and/or are there other mods that do this type of general score addition?

[hasty mist]

this is the first one!

this is the code, it needs refinement though

[willow plinth]

you might be able to use juice_up

nvm, that seems to be for cards only - sorry, just learning the game's code as well

[hasty mist]

mhm

[weak brook]

any advice for finding origins of memory leaks?

apparently we got some in cardsauce but i have no idea where id start looking for that

[willow plinth]

ease_chips maybe?

see for example this source code in Mistigris: https://github.com/astrapboy/Mistigris/blob/837813b3013936e5977ef7e5dbcf15b4f24eb883/src/content/smods/joker/uncommon/briefcase.lua#L39

[worldly thicket]

Is there a way to add cards to the deck during a boss blind but remove them after the boss blind is complete

[hasty mist]

seems to work, but there's a delay

it only does it after the increase, not during

[daring fern]

Try: G.hand_text_area.blind_chips:juice_up?

[hasty mist]

how do i format this?

i think i got it acrually

[stiff locust]

do decks not have calculate function

[daring fern]

They do.

[hasty mist]

okay uhh

[stiff locust]

do I need to change the parameters like how sleeves use calculate(self,sleeve,context instead of calculate(self,card,context)

i'm assuming that is the issue

is it as simple as self,deck,context

[daring fern]

calculate(self, back, context)

[stiff locust]

ahh isee

[hasty mist]

this is working, but it is applying on the "score at least", not the round score

[stiff locust]

round score is a different variable i have it somewhere here

[daring fern]

Try: G.HUD:get_UIE_by_ID('chip_UI_count'):juice_up()

[stiff locust]

G.GAME.chips or G.GAME.blind.chips i think is the value for current score

one of those is current score, the other is required score

i can't remember

i'm guessing blind.chips is required score

[faint yacht]

ye.

[stiff locust]

so maybe this with chips instead of blind_chips

[hasty mist]

that works, thanks!

[stiff locust]

wow

fucked up ui shit i guess

classic

[daring fern]

Try looking at Wax from Redux Arcanum

[pseudo current]

Question, are these 2 Jokers posible to make?

[stiff locust]

ferris wheel has been done twice by vouchers

one in rift raft one in betmma vouchers

[pseudo current]

o so it is?

[stiff locust]

yeah but be careful

[daring fern]

Does the first one means stones count as all ranks to jokers?

[stiff locust]

they can cause conflicts with each other

[daring fern]

It's possible but you would need to take ownership/patch every joker that needs a specific rank.

[lucid owl]

why are 3oak jokers not triggering? 4oaks are

[worldly thicket]

Where is this?

[daring fern]

https://github.com/jumbocarrot0/Redux-Arcanum

[stiff locust]

bladedancer from morefluff also creates temporary cards

2 steel cards every time blind is selected

[hasty mist]

perfect!

[worldly thicket]

I probably should've seen if it's ever been done before, I need to come up with more original joker ideas

[willow plinth]

not sharing the source code here to not break rule 3 or 7 with this, but it seems like Game:main_menu is "breaking" the event manager or at least all events that are set to trigger immediately or before 14 seconds

[stiff locust]

do decks not get all contexts or something
if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and G.GAME.blind.boss isn't working in the deck calculate

[faint yacht]

...per chance, are G.deck calculations enabled in the optional features?

[stiff locust]

i

I have to enable them???

how the hell do I do that

[faint yacht]

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = function()
    return {
        cardareas = { deck = true },
    }
end

That's why (G.deck and G.discard optionally enabled) is mentioned.

[stiff locust]

it didn't work

i put that in the top of my mod's main file and it still doesn't work

[daring fern]

Try checking if context.context equals the context as a string instead.

[stiff locust]

like if context.context == "context.end_of_round" this?

[daring fern]

No, end_of_round

[stiff locust]

oh okay

[faint yacht]

What about replacing context.main_eval with and not context.individual and not context.repetition?

[stiff locust]

if context.context == "end_of_round" and context.context == "main_eval" and G.GAME.blind.boss did not work

[daring fern]

I'm not sure then.

[red flower]

I've never seen context.context so I don't know how that works exactly but that if statement is never going to be true

[stiff locust]

but if I do just one then it'll trigger 8 times cause end of round stupid shit

[red flower]

you're checking if context.context is two different values at the same time

[stiff locust]

i'm aware

and I am out of options

[faint yacht]

-# Did you try my suggestion?

[pseudo current]

Is this Joker posible to make?

[daring fern]

NotJustYet does that I think.

[pseudo current]

oh, so it is?

[daring fern]

Probably.

[stiff locust]

-# you crossed it out so i thought it was a joke

[faint yacht]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[thorn pumice]

hii, is this the right place to ask for a little modding help?

[stiff locust]

it

it worked.

[rugged pier]

can we force trigger a joker?

[rugged pier]

what i did for this was i used a flag in the joker's config

so first time it updates flag to true/false however youve set up

[daring fern]

I've seen some people do It, so It's probably possible in some ways.

[rugged pier]

and then doesnt trigger again

[stiff locust]

you can just add and context.main_eval

for jokers

and it won't do that

that doesn't work for decks though, apparently

[rugged pier]

oh lol

did not know you could do that

[stiff locust]

yeah it's a bettercalc thing

[rugged pier]

is it by using v.force_trigger assuming v is joker

[rugged pier]

a what thing

[daring fern]

You would need to set it up manually aswell.

[rugged pier]

ah

[bright axle]

how can i add a generated card to deck?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.play then
            return {
                message = "Sacrifices a card to create 4 upgraded cards!",

                                if v.ability.playable then

            }
        end

[stiff locust]

value:set_seal("purple") is this not how you add a purple seal to a card

[daring fern]

Its value:set_seal("Purple")

[stiff locust]

case sensitive

damn it

it still didn't work

oh i know why it didn't

[rustic swallow]

how would i level up a hand if all cards in the played hand are blue seals

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
    if v.seal ~= "Blue" then
        return nil
    end
end
level_up_hand(card, "handname", nil, 1)

[worldly thicket]

The joker I'm making here will do something different based off the number the pseudorandom, am I doing it right?

[daring fern]

You should be using xmult instead of Xmult_mod and a message

[worldly thicket]

so x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult?

[daring fern]

It would be xmult

[lucid owl]

i know you can change the default blind requirement with decks, but how would one only change the requirement of boss blinds?

[daring fern]

In an info_queue probably.

[plain apex]

was hoping they would tell me how to do that lol

only thing i've used those for are like enhancements and editions

[daring fern]

Maybe change G.GAME.blind.chips on blind select?

[urban wasp]

i have two pieces of code, both trying to have this effect:

"Played cards with Diamond suit give ^1.2 Mult when scored"

they both do the effect but have one of either of these bugs:

1. bg of the ^mult is red, not dark_edition

2. the joker wiggles twice when a diamond is scored

[daring fern]

1st one is a talisman problem.

[urban wasp]

i see; i assume it's not able to be fixed on my end then?

[daring fern]

Not that I know of.

[urban wasp]

fun

[stiff locust]

anyone know why ghost cards appear in the hand permanently after adding cards during a spectral pack (e.g through grim or cryptid)

[plain apex]

thank you chat gpt very cool

[worldly thicket]

how can I add chips when the blind is selected (I'm already checking for if the boss blind is selected)

[rugged pier]

ease_chips(0.75 * G.GAME.blind.chips + G.GAME.chips)

put whatever you want in the parenthesis

[daring fern]

Scored chips or required chips?

[rugged pier]

if you want to do it while setting a blind then wrap it in an if context.setting_blind

[worldly thicket]

like this?

I want it to add 85 chips to the scored chips

[rugged pier]

ease_chips(85 + G.GAME.chips)

[willow plinth]

anyone know what this lil bro is called and why it doesn't move along when i call G.FUNCS.change_tab? is it set_button_pip? because somehow that also doesn't work for me...

[worldly thicket]

Will this work when I run it? Or am I missing something

[rugged pier]

G.GAME.blind:get_type() == 'Boss' to check for boss

[sleek siren]

is there a way to make specific jokers appear more often for a back?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.blind.boss does work though.

[tired wharf]

im currently trying to use this to check if a card has the steel enhancement but this is not working what did I do wrong here

[rugged pier]

oh cool, didnt know that worked

[sleek siren]

I think it would be
if SMODS.has_enhancement(card, 'm_steel') then

[rugged pier]

if its being done in a joker then it would be something else instead of card

card would be the joker

[worldly thicket]

It didn't do anything but idk how I would check if something went wrong

is there a way to trigger a joker with DebugPlus

[sleek siren]

ahhh fair

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[tired wharf]

it gave me this error (I think it also did that prior)

[worldly thicket]

I want to test my joker but when I selected the boss blind it did nothing

[tired wharf]

this is the full code for this part

[lucid owl]

how would one modify the chip numbers present on this screen?

[daring fern]

Use G.hand.cards[i] instead of card.

[sleek siren]

this is what I wrote for something similar,

[willow plinth]

do you mean the blind requirements?

[lucid owl]

yeah

[hasty mist]

what are the contexts for playing a hand and discarding a hand

[tired wharf]

got this error now

[thorn pumice]

would anyone happen to have consumables knowledge and be able to help me cause mine is giving me a funky error lol

[daring fern]

Use G.hand.cards[i]

[tired wharf]

at which part?

[daring fern]

Instead of context.other_card

[tired wharf]

alr

[daring fern]

Your use function should also be use = function (self, card, area, copier)

[tired wharf]

it worked :D

[tired wharf]

im just gonna leave it the same cause it worked :P

[willow plinth]

you could set G.P_BLINDS.bl_small.mult, G.P_BLINDS.bl_big.mult, and so on to something else than the default value - but i don't know if that's recommended

for example i set the small blind's mult to 10 and got this

[unkempt thicket]

I think that refers to the multiplication of the blind requirements.

[hasty mist]

what is wrong here

[daring fern]

What is context.hand?

[hasty mist]

i didn't know the context for playing a hand

is it hand_played or something

[daring fern]

context.before

[hasty mist]

i see

[rapid stag]

that's funny, i kinda wanna make a mod that adds context.hand now. when is it called?

...when hand.

actually

@tall wharf

context.hand

probably could do something with it

[hasty mist]

how do you ensure it can't go below X1

[daring fern]

Use math.max(1, value)

[rapid stag]

not math.min?

wait is math.min a thing

[red flower]

yes but you want the max between 1 and the variable

[rapid stag]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh

for some reason i was thinking it worked like a clamp

i mean, i guess it does

[hasty mist]

how do i implement that

[willow plinth]

you can combine min and max to do clamps

[rapid stag]

i was thinking it worked in the way that i think a clamp works

[reef belfry]

you can do that? i just make a check that it isnt 0

[rapid stag]

when you're decreasing the variable that holds that value, you put your calculation in the math.max()

[daring fern]

Make it so value = math.max(1, value)

[hasty mist]

alright thank you

[surreal coral]

is there a way to change where a card spawns if you don't give it an area

[rapid stag]

value = math.max(1, value - 1)

i think is what they're looking for

[daring fern]

If it's 1 it will return 1.

[red flower]

patch smods.add_card i guess
for what reason

[rapid stag]

yes, but it needs to decrease if it isn't 1

[daring fern]

Why?

[reef belfry]

thats just brutal

X0 score

[rapid stag]

read their joker description again. it needs to decrease on discard

gains X1 on hand, decreases on discard

[reef belfry]

oh actually yeah it just resets

[rapid stag]

without - 1, it'll just go up

[unborn bay]

note that x0 won't do anything since calculate functions regard 0 as just not having mult lmao

[daring fern]

No, I meant put value = math.max(1, value) after the equation.

[hasty mist]

true but i'm not working with mult

[unborn bay]

to have TRUE x0 you have to actually set the mult to 0 manually

[red flower]

X0 does work

[hasty mist]

i'm working with score

[red flower]

(i have made that mistake many times)

[unborn bay]

also yeah it's math.max(1, value - 1)

math.max returns the largest value

[surreal coral]

well I've made a joker that can give you stuff when you select a blind, one of those things is vouchers, and right now, it looks like this

[rapid stag]

ah - that would work, yeah. but there's no reason it can't be part of it

[red flower]

vouchers have different logic for redeeming afaik. you need to do a custom way to handle that

[surreal coral]

I pretty much copy/pasted the redeem function, everything seems to be working, just can't get the sprite positioned

[red flower]

what's your code?

[hasty mist]

ok so i definetely did that wrong

[willow plinth]

@hasty mist pseudo code: if played => joker.score_mult = joker.score_mult + 1; else if discard => joker.score_mult = math.max(1, joker.score_mult - 1)

[tired wharf]

currently getting this error when I use the consumable as it is supposed to be used

[rapid stag]

can we see your calculate() code

[surreal coral]

myRedeem is a modification of the Redeem function in card.lua

[red flower]

there's no context in use

[daring fern]

Use G.hand.cards[i] instead of context.other_card

[tired wharf]

ah alr

[hasty mist]

i just dont understand how to implement the math.max thing

idk where to put it

[reef belfry]

how does one change the hand type of played hand

[red flower]

card.ability.extra.score = math.max(1, card.ability.extra.score-card.ability.extra.score_mod)

[hasty mist]

i see that makes sense

thank you

[red flower]

hmmm i dont have the games code with me so im not sure how the voucher area is called but you can add area to SMODS.create_card

[hasty mist]

this works perfectly now, ty!

[surreal coral]

hm. Is there a list of areas anywhere?

[red flower]

i think the best you can get is looking at the areas defined in Game:start_run

oh its G.vouchers

[stray warren]

I have a boss blind that flips over all non-face cards. However, when I press play, the cards get scored face-down. I checked the code for The Mark and it seems exactly the same. Is there something I'm missing here?

  stay_flipped = function(self, area, card)
    if not card:is_face() then
      return true
    end
    return false
  end,

[lucid owl]

there's not a base one for bosses unfortunately and my attempt at fixing this (i'm hooking basically all of the boss functions) doesn't work for whatever reason

[stray warren]

Looks like adding if area == G.hand before worked

[surreal coral]

No clue where that area actually is lol. I'm playing around with it now. I think you've got me pointed in a direction tho, maybe it's the right one. Thank you

Wait its the card in the deck on the bottom right what the

[hasty mist]

also, is context.discard for each discard, or each card discarded?

[surreal coral]

G.play works great. Thanks for getting me in the right direction dude!

[wooden nexus]

Hey odd question

There's a color I wanna use in localization that's in base game, but idk how I'd access it

Since it's in a set

Could I do... C:secondary_set.tarot or something?

[rapid stag]

eh, why not, i'll post it here
we recently crossed the 100 vanilla joker reskins threshold in the mod i'm working on - and in that same push, now also have reskins for every joker on the first page of collections

[tall wharf]

how an i related 😭😭😭😭

[willow plinth]

are you looping over G.P_BLINDS and that doesn't work?

[lucid owl]

i managed to figure it out, actually! i had to go with a bit of a different route through lovely patches

[rapid stag]

i feel like context.hand would be something you'd do or want to do idk

[sturdy compass]

The random clippy is awesome lmao

[lucid owl]

on a related note, is there a way to fix blinds having incorrect backgrounds when set by a mod? i'm really not sure why this is happening but it is

[rapid stag]

i made clippy the base joker primarily because the game over screen uses the base joker graphic and it would be funny to have clippy show up and say stuff to you when you die. but i also made it like that for half joker, so half joker literally just says "looks like" and is cut off

we have a lot of fun here

[sturdy compass]

LMAO

[tall wharf]

what does it even do

[rapid stag]

easy. it's a context that triggers when hand

you could then have a joker or smth that's like "when hand, X" and people will just look at it and go... "wdym 'when hand?' like... when i play a hand? when i have a hand?"

how is that not an aiko vibe

[reef belfry]

i should really make one off jokers rather than complicated ones since ive only made like 4.5 full jokers after like 1 month

[faint yacht]

When he locks in:

[knotty skiff]

Put a blueprint next to them

See who wins the staring contest

[faint yacht]

If only I could grab the actual blinking frames... then I'd make him blink here and there, actually. 😂

[rapid stag]

can't you just draw with the eyes closed

and then make an animation atlas out of that

[lucid owl]

why is my deck's apply function not actually... applying? this variable isn't being changed (default false)

ah whatever, i'll just make a new global

[daring fern]

Those atlases are bugged with jokers.

[faint yacht]

I already have a Joker that changes the floating sprite - and that's Rover.

[rapid stag]

oh, you can't animationatlas jokers. gotta manually do it then with an event

[iron haven]

how do I fix this?

[daring fern]

What joker is the problem?

[iron haven]

hold on.

[plain apex]

yeah that should work

[iron haven]

F does.

[wooden nexus]

lemme try with the same caps, because it didn't work all lowercase like all other colors

[iron haven]

oh I forgot an and

[wooden nexus]

huh...

[plain apex]

huh so it can be used in a message but not in joker text?

thats weird

[paper zealot]

You'll want to check https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling#named-colours-dictionary-gargsloc_colours
The argument to follow {C: needs to be a key in the LOC_COLOURS table

[iron haven]

ok so. I have two logic errors. one in G and one in I.

[paper zealot]

In your case it's just {C:tarot}

[wooden nexus]

but C:tarot gives me the dark purple

oh wait

i was thinking purple

[paper zealot]

purple and tarot are slightly different, tarot is lighter

[iron haven]

I can wait.

[wooden nexus]

Okay yeah i think it matches now

[daring fern]

Your missing an and

[iron haven]

I just said that.

[iron haven]

^

so the logic errors are in G and I.

[daring fern]

end_of_round doesn't have context.cardarea

[iron haven]

that wasn't the logic error.

[daring fern]

What do you mean by logic error?

[slate bison]

anyone knows how can i check to see if a player has spend money ?

like everytime he spends money something happens

[shell timber]

you could hook into ease_dollars maybe

[iron haven]

The logic error for G is that gains $3 when you complete any blind but it should be the boss blind.

[slate bison]

what does it do?

[shell timber]

ease_dollars is the function that gets called whenever your money changes

[daring fern]

Check for G.GAME.blind.boss

[slate bison]

ohhhh i see

[plain apex]

if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind.boss then to figure out if its the end of a boss blind

[daring fern]

G.GAME.blind always exists I think.

[knotty skiff]

I wanna make a Joker that gives 1.5x mult for every specific joker (example: like 1.5x for every DNA)

I'm not really sure how to do though-

[iron haven]

damn it, now it upgrades for each card you hold.

[knotty skiff]

I might see if I could make the specific card randomize each round or run

[daring fern]

What is your code?

[iron haven]

and it also triggers when you complete it too

[plain apex]

you could probably do something similar to my joker fashion show

SMODS.Joker({
    key = 'Fashion',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Fashion Show',
        text = {
            "Jokers with Editions each give {X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} Mult",
            "Idea: BoiRowan",
        }
    },
    rarity = 2,
    atlas = "Jokers",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 25},
    cost = 9,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = false,
    eternal_compat = true,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = false,
    config = {
        extra = {
            Xmult = 1.75,  -- Multiplier for editions
        },
    },

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {card.ability.extra.Xmult}  -- Correctly reference the multiplier
        }
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        -- Ensure the card has an edition and check if it matches the specified conditions
        if context.other_joker and context.other_joker ~= card and context.other_joker.edition and context.other_joker.edition.type then
            return {
                x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult,  -- Apply multiplier to the current card
                card = card
            }
        end

        return nil  -- No multiplier if the card isn't linked with another joker having an edition
    end,
})

and instead of checking for editions you would check for a specific joker id

[daring fern]

You need and context.main_eval

[knotty skiff]

YOOOOOO

alr i'll try to do that!!

tysm!

[iron haven]

ok that fixed G. Now for I's logic error.

[slate bison]

anyone knows a good way to implement a joker that gives an upgraded voucher everytime you buy a voucher?

[plain apex]

yw

[iron haven]

I's logic error is that when you play a straight, all the cards you play triggers I.

this should trigger I once.

[daring fern]

That's because your checking on every card, you need to check on context.before

[plain apex]

great card skins lol

[iron haven]

my card skins?

[plain apex]

yeah

🧐

Wait

[plain apex]

reminds me of when i was testing soul animation lol

[open forum]

Hold

[daring fern]

Try removing the -mains

[open forum]

Ic

Wait Lovely is in there

Shouldn't that be yeeted

[iron haven]

this should trigger I.

and it doesn't

[daring fern]

Lovely is fine there.

[daring fern]

Code?

[open forum]

I fear the samer problem occurs

[open forum]

Ohhhh

[slate bison]

anyone knows how i can randomly add a voucher to the run?

[daring fern]

Next time you upload the file instead of copying the whole file and pasting it could you just upload the lua file?

[iron haven]

ok

[daring fern]

You need to remove the context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play checks.

[iron haven]

ok did that. it works now.

[cobalt vector]

For some reason, my joker isn't giving me chips

            elseif gamba == 2 then
                return {
                    chips_mod = card.ability.extra.chips,
                    message = '+' .. card.ability.extra.chips,
                    colour = G.C.CHIPS
                }

    config = {
        extra = {
            chips = 40,
            mult = 4,
            Xmult = 4,
            money = 4,
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
        return { vars = { --#1# is replaced with card.ability.extra.Xmult
            center.ability.extra.chips,
            center.ability.extra.mult,
            center.ability.extra.Xmult,
            center.ability.extra.money,
            G.GAME and G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1}
            }
    end,

Mult, Xmult, and money work just fine

[daring fern]

It's chip_mod but you should be using chips instead without the message, because chips does the message automatically

[cobalt vector]

so I don't need "message = " ?

[daring fern]

Yes and you should be using chips instead of chip_mod

[willow plinth]

what do i do if the game crashes without any crash report?

am i cooked?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[willow plinth]

hm :/

can anyone reproduce latest talisman version crash on card select?

[daring fern]

What mods do you have?

[cobalt vector]

From what I can tell, it works :D

[willow plinth]

literally only talisman (and smods of course)

[daring fern]

What versions?

[willow plinth]

Lovely 0.7.1
smods 1.0.0~BETA-0416b-STEAMODDED
Talisman 2.2.0a

[daring fern]

So when you select a card, it hard crashes?

[willow plinth]

yup, i can do a screen recording if it helps

but i'll try with a new profile, one sec

nope, also happens on a newly created profile

[daring fern]

That would help.

[willow plinth]

just a sec

[daring fern]

Did you verify the game files?

[willow plinth]

the log only displays this while/after it crashes: SteamInternal_SetMinidumpSteamID: Caching Steam ID: [redacted in case this doxxes me] [API loaded no]

i'll try

i'll try a complete cleanup of the folder where the mods folder is in

nope, nothing helps

the complete log in case it helps

[willow plinth]

i have to add here: i already found out the talisman commit 0d60d48447d34b4599896d62b74e90e760377bfa (merge commit) broke things, going back further "fixes" this issue for me

[daring fern]

I checked and there was no crash.

[dense adder]

can anyone see why this will not return to the local variable last_spectral

function set_last_spectral(card)
  if card.config.center_key and card.ability.consumeable then
    if card.config.center.set == 'Spectral' then 
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
          trigger = 'immediate',
          func = function()
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
              trigger = 'immediate',
              func = function()
                last_spectral = card.config.center_key
                  return true
              end
            }))
              return true
          end
        }))
      end
    end
    G:save_settings()
  --funct end
  end```

[daring fern]

When are you calling this?

[willow plinth]

crazy...are you on macos or windows?

[daring fern]

Windows 🥲 .

[dense adder]

this is called outside the main block of code, its independent, its not in any SMODS function, but it is in an independent .lua calling from the main .lua

hard to describe

[daring fern]

So your calling it when your mod loads?

[dense adder]

yep its a hook in the consumable its working with

[tall wharf]

because it is inside an event

[dense adder]

when eval it pulls up

[willow plinth]

which option do you have selected? bignumber or omeganum?

[tall wharf]

it is inside an event.

[dense adder]

let me take out the events and try it

[daring fern]

Changed it to omeganum and it still worked.

[tall wharf]

also last spectral is not a local

[willow plinth]

yeah i'm on bignumber

with the crash

[daring fern]

I was on bignum before and it worked.

[dense adder]

i defined it as a local
local last_spectral = nil

[slate bison]

anyone knows a way to give a random voucer everytime a voucher is bought?

[tall wharf]

local as in

file local

[willow plinth]

hm, okay, so omeganum doesn't crash for me at least - i guess i'll stay on that for now...do you know of any consequences from that? do most mods only support one or the other or something?

[dense adder]

removing the events has not helped, the function set_last_spectral is being called but it is not returning last_spectral

[daring fern]

Nevermind it seems like a skip animations problem I turned it off while on bignum and it crashed.

[dense adder]

this is based on how last_tarot_planet functions in set_consumable_usage and it will work if i do that but i can't as it will break the normal fool card, i could do a simple fix of take_control and add it as a personal patch but i would rather do so as a last resort

[willow plinth]

i find it interesting how this diff can cause such a crash:

https://github.com/SpectralPack/Talisman/commit/0d60d48447d34b4599896d62b74e90e760377bfa?w=0

[slate bison]

anyone knows a way to give a random voucer everytime a voucher is bought?

[willow plinth]

not specifically, but this might help:

the mod "More Fluff" has these two jokers:

• "Coupon Catalogue" that gives +15 mult for each voucher purchased during the run
• "Junk Mail" that adds vouchers to the shop

[daring fern]

Do you want to put a voucher in the shop or redeem a voucher?

[slate bison]

redeem it

[daring fern]

Try looking at Cryptid's Trade

[slate bison]

is that a deck or a joker?

[daring fern]

It's a spectral.

[slate bison]

oh

[slate bison]

will look into it!

[rustic swallow]

does someone know how would i update the xmult of a joker everytime a card is destroyed

[daring fern]

Try looking at Caino

[copper lion]

@crisp coral I love your lob corp mod but I wanted to ask you a quick question cause I'm playing a run with lob corp as the only content mod and it crashes my game every time I go into the shop on my current run (and it's very early so I know it's not just a gazillion jokers killing the game)

Putting this in dev chat cause it is a crash log

The question being, which abno would do this

[crisp coral]

damn i need to fix ff

[copper lion]

I've got fairy festival and pbird, opening the shop crashed my game

[copper lion]

I had a run with mosb and I grabbed plague doctor

mosb ate all the cards as plague doctor blessed them

is it intentional for destroying blessed cards before the whitenight fight to not count towards lowering his req as they haven't become apostles yet?

Cause plague doctor turning into whitenight when I only had 1 blessed card in my deck really screwed me

[copper lion]

I tried selling all my jokers and it still crashed so is just having FF gonna cause these crashes

[crisp coral]

please stop pinging me

[tall wharf]

myst

why is the in pool function not working for some

[copper lion]

forgot I had reply ping on, my bad

[manic rune]

myst how do i do my IELTS test

[tall wharf]

IELTS

[crisp coral]

download this version https://github.com/Mysthaps/LobotomyCorp/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

[manic rune]

myst mysting everymyst

[copper lion]

current doing a very bad idea but I'll relaunch rq with the new version

[copper lion]

Do I delete the old version and rename this one to the name of the old? Got the older version off of the mod manager

[zealous glen]

Hello Bepis how are you

[manic rune]

hi victin

im fine, waiting to do the speaking section of my ielts test

-# and since im an introvert, this will absolutely go SO wrong

[zealous glen]

Good luck

[tall wharf]

good luck

[manic rune]

:3 thanks guys

[tall wharf]

i used to do IELTS

[manic rune]

i hope i get at least 8, since thats my aim rn

[manic rune]

oo, how much did u get

[tall wharf]

crazy

average 7

[zealous glen]

I did an official English language test once which has already expired

[manic rune]

icic

[zealous glen]

I’m lucky I haven’t needed one

[tall wharf]

that was like 4 years ago tho

[zealous glen]

I think I did TOEIC

[manic rune]

im guessing i got 9 on both reading and listening, they are really easy

but not sure about writing and speaking :3

[tall wharf]

are you doing the academic one

[manic rune]

mhm

[manic rune]

oh, i haven't done research on toeic tests yet

are they hard

[tall wharf]

i got 8.5 in reading

[manic rune]

def getting 6 on reading since im a balatro player

✊

[zealous glen]

I only had reading and listening I think

And I aced it

So that’s about what I can say about it

[manic rune]

i see

thats really cool :D

[true jasper]

I'm trying to use take_ownership on a joker from another mod and I can't figure it out, I'm trying to change the art

[manic rune]

i got a toeic practice book as a present

but it was really hard

[runic pecan]

This sticker was applied normally but neither of these print functions ran when testing (nor did they give +mult), where/what did I do wrong?

[manic rune]

the reading questions got 5 answers, and most of them are really ambiguous

[zealous glen]

Yeah

[manic rune]

like - what does the author mean by saying this?

😭

im not them, why tf u asking me dawg

[zealous glen]

I tend to have that opinion over tests in general

[manic rune]

nice :3

[zealous glen]

And instructions for how to get a visa

[zealous glen]

I think I remember the listening questions being tough since they only play the audio twice, so you need to really focus

And I think they played it all at once, then all at once again?

[tall wharf]

my English final exam with audio that plays once:

[manic rune]

yeah, im familiar with that

[zealous glen]

Luckily I have barely needed to certificate that I can speak English

[manic rune]

same goes for my national test too

[zealous glen]

The Brazilian national exam didn’t have listening questions

But it also only has like

[manic rune]

its your average TED video audio thats like, x1.5 the speed + purposely bad quality

[zealous glen]

5 foreign language questions

[wintry solar]

Is this on a joker?

[manic rune]

tf, hows that related to Brazilian 🥀

[zealous glen]

Hm?

[runic pecan]

First pic on sticker, second pic on joker.

[manic rune]

isnt it supposed to be all in brazilian?

since english national contest over here all has english questions at least

i cant imagine having to learn another language for freakin english national test

[zealous glen]

Portuguese; and the language part of the exam is mostly Portuguese, with 5 foreign language questions, that can be in English or Spanish

[manic rune]

damn.

[zealous glen]

It’s like 9 hours of exam over two days

[manic rune]

😭

wtf crazy

ours is only 2-3 hours at most

[zealous glen]

Actually it’s 10h30 hours total

[native zinc]

this was so annoying to make fml

[zealous glen]

Did you use the Boss Blind contexts?

[native zinc]

Blind.get_loc_debuff_text right'

[zealous glen]

No

[native zinc]

d ang

[zealous glen]

Stuff like context.debuff_hand

@native zinc SMODS added many Blind functions as contexts

[native zinc]

oh this was a challenge

so i just kinda usede the vanilla ish code

[zealous glen]

It could use an invisible Joker to do it ;P

I should make gamerules

[native zinc]

ewwww

[zealous glen]

Why

[native zinc]

feels very tacky lmao

[crisp coral]

yes

[copper lion]

Also uhhh, if price of silence kills pbird, do I instantly lose?

pbird specifys sold, not destroyed

I wanna use price of silence to kill QoH before she breaches

[crisp coral]

no

[copper lion]

price of silence ate pbird and QoH breached. it's so over

@crisp coral guess what I did.........

[crisp coral]

fixed

[copper lion]

like, just now? or on one of the previous version/version you sent me when FF crashed my game? cause I'm still on the version you sent me

[crisp coral]

just now

[copper lion]

downloading latest

[copper lion]

Nevermind I didn't know skin proph could only be used in shop

[faint yacht]

Is it not G.P_CENTERS['m_gold'].config.weight to get the weight?

G.P_CENTERS['m_gold'].weight, oop.

[wintry solar]

I don’t believe vanilla editions have a weight

[zealous glen]

Do you mean Enhancements?

I don’t think they have weights either

Editions have weights but they might be hardcoded

If you want the odds of a card having an Enhancement at all, that might also be hardcoded

[faint yacht]

As the default weight for SMODS.Enhancement is 5, I'll just add that as the failsafe.

-# Or am I overthinking it for having a pool of specific enhancements being reconstructed as a weighted random table?

[zealous glen]

What are you trying to do

[faint yacht]

For a consumable to have a pool of specific enhancements to choose from, but with the weight in mind.

[zealous glen]

This sounds like it’s a very complicated solution to this problem

SMODS provides an utility function to compute/select the available Enhancements, with weights

[faint yacht]

-# doh.

My SRB2 modding experience coming back to overcomplicate things. 😂

[tribal wasp]

how do i disable blue stake as in it doesnt give -1 discard anymore

[stiff locust]

select white stake

then you don't get -1 discard

[faint yacht]

...or you patch the if self.GAME.stake >= 5 then self.GAME.starting_params.discards = self.GAME.starting_params.discards - 1 end line. 🍞

[tribal wasp]

thanks dude

[stiff locust]

that's a lot of work

[unborn bay]

me when srb2 lua (i am in hell)

[faint yacht]

Or, actually, as SMODS redefines it, take_ownership of it and change the modifiers function of it.

[faint yacht]

yeah.

[wintry solar]

Yeah SMODS.poll_enhancement will do this for you

[zealous glen]

What about changing Blue Stake to:

-1 Hand
+1 Discard

[faint yacht]

Just need to touch up the actual main table to include the { key = key, weight = weight } structure.

-# And probably do the actual table init after the GameObjects have been initialized.

[crisp coral]

"Permanently lose -$1 in hand profit every round and other stuff"

harsher than you'd think

[faint yacht]

solid.

[crisp coral]

Minecraft copper situation

[faint yacht]

...yeah, that was an adventure getting set up.

[icy oak]

is it possible to check what position a joker is in relative to its duplicates

just asking

[faint yacht]

Iterate over the Jokers, find the duplicates and store their position, then return the distance calc.

-# Hum... maybe this is a tad much.

[proud moon]

this mod looks so cool

[copper lion]

guys check out my new speedrun, cryptid crash%, I literally crashed on the large blind of ante 1 on modest with nothing unlocked or any other content mods without the crash card 😭

[hasty mist]

is there an exhaustive list of every context in smods? (or at least a majority of them)

not just a few examples

[daring fern]

The source code.

[wintry solar]

The wiki has the vast majority of them, I still need to get round to finishing updating it but motivation for writing docs is at an all time low

[hushed field]

hard to tell what the source of the crash is, but it's due to talisman. I think it might be JokerDisplay? But I'm not sure

[copper lion]

It crashed instantly when I used the code card in cryptid that returns your last played hand to your hand

but it could be joker display

[hushed field]

ah, yeah, than it's just a cryptid crash

[copper lion]

I'm picking up the run after I wake up cause it's like 5 AM so I should go to bed

[hushed field]

I thought it might be JokerDisplay based on the create function, but that's creating cards, not a display object, I'm realizing now

[red flower]

i wrote this message for the modded wiki discord

These should be all the other ones not on the wiki aside from starting_shop AFAIK

• context.ending_booster

{
    booster = booster_obj
}

• context.modify_scoring_hand

{ 
    other_card =  G.play.cards[i], 
    full_hand = G.play.cards, 
    scoring_hand = scoring_hand

[hasty mist]

thank you

this is perfect

[manic rune]

u can do it eremel, but prioritize rest first :3

[icy oak]

would a for loop inside a joker calc be able to tell the difference between itself and its duplicates

thats kinda what i need

[faint yacht]

Can, yeah.

[icy oak]

hmm

[faint yacht]

As card usually refers to the Joker itself that calls the calc, if a given entry of G.jokers.cards == card then you found itself.

[manic rune]

wait wait

isnt G.jokers.cards the table containing all jokers you have?

you would need a for loop to go through that

[faint yacht]

They mentioned the for loop already, so.

[manic rune]

oh, true

[modern kindle]

Bepiisss

[manic rune]

hi dilly

i took my ielts test today

:3

[modern kindle]

Hello

How did you do
And what are they

[manic rune]

some sort of international english examination

for a degree

[modern kindle]

Ooo icic

[manic rune]

i did pretty well for listening, reading and writing

but the examiner for speaking was an indian

so uh, no offense, but i could barely understand them

[icy oak]

i was worried that its duplicates would have the same stats so G.jokers.cards == card goes off for all of them

in like, the same position as the first one

[unborn bay]

cards, even of the same type, are different from each other

[maiden wraith]

hey guys do u know hwo to make a joker compatible with blueprint?

welp, found it

<3

[wintry solar]

Jokers are by default compatible, you have to build the incompat in

[maiden wraith]

wait- really? cuz we just found a toggle to check if it's blueprint_compat

cuz it was, by default, incompatible

[wintry solar]

The flag just controls the ui

[maiden wraith]

Ah i see

[wintry solar]

Even if you set it to false your calculate function will still be copied

[maiden wraith]

thx for the clarification

[icy oak]

wait how do i check if two jokers are dupes, dang i thought i alr figured this out

[faint yacht]

Check if the <card>.config.center.key match.

[icy oak]

ah that one

ty

[proud moon]

To do that would you use context.blueprint or whatever the blueprint context is?

[dapper sun]

how do i G.GAME.chips/G.GAME.blind.chips >= 10 without it complaining about me comparing a table to a number?

[red flower]

uninstall talisman

[dapper sun]

a

how do i make it work with talisman?

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

like that ^

[dapper sun]

ty

do i put the 10 in the to_big or the other part?

[red flower]

10, but there's no harm in doing both just to be sure

[dapper sun]

ok

[icy oak]

how do i make a joker that gives -1 discard

like the opposite of drunkard

[red flower]

in add_to_deck
G.GAME.round_resets.discards = G.GAME.round_resets.discards - 1

ease_discard(-1)

then do the opposite in remove_from_deck

[ruby delta]

Can someone explain how I could make the joker active it's second function when it checks that there is another joker, example is I want my joker to activate it's second function if it sees specific 4 jokers active

[dapper sun]

how do i overwrite the Find this Joker from the Soul card unlock text for legendary jokers?

[hard needle]

How can I change the cost of an item in the shop?

[daring fern]

take ownership

[daring fern]

Is it a specific item?

[hard needle]

sorry, i should've been more clear, i want to change the cost of every item in the shop or modify it

[daring fern]

You could probably use G.GAME.discount_percent for that.

[hard needle]

hmm

is it possible to iterate over every item in the shop

[daring fern]

What are you trying to do specifically?

[hard needle]

i want to have a 1 in 2 chance to double the cost of the item and have it do that for each item

[hushed estuary]

Question about lovely
Is it possible to replace all instances of a string of code (not necessarily a line) with another?

[daring fern]

You could probably hook set_cost

[hard needle]

Card.set_cost?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[bright axle]

anyone knows the way to know the most played hand of the round?

[daring fern]

You would probably count it manually.

[bright axle]

like this?

if context.end_of_round then
          local hand_counts = {}
          for _, hand in ipairs(G.play.cards) do
              local hand_key = hand:get_hand_key()
              hand_counts[hand_key] = (hand_counts[hand_key] or 0) + 1
          end

          local most_played_hand = nil
          local max_count = 0
          for hand_key, count in ipairs(hand_counts) do
              if count > max_count then
                  most_played_hand = hand_key
                  max_count = count
              end
          end

          if most_played_hand then
              local planet = nil
              for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Planet) do
                  if v.config.hand_type == most_played_hand then
                      planet = v.key
                  end
              end

              local card = {
                  set = "Planet",
                  area = G.pack_cards,
                  skip_materialize = false,
                  soulable = true,
                  key = _planet,
                  key_append = "pl1"
              }

          end

      end

[daring fern]

That should work.

[bright axle]

well it doesnt

changed to this

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.play then -- replace G.play with G.jokers/G.hand as appropriate
         card.ability.extra.hand_counts[scoring_name ] = (card.ability.extra.hand_counts[scoring_name ] or 0) + 1

        end
        if context.end_of_round then
            local hand_counts = {}
            for _, hand in ipairs(G.play.cards) do
                local hand_key = hand:get_hand_key()
                hand_counts[hand_key] = (hand_counts[hand_key] or 0) + 1
            end

            local most_played_hand = nil
            local max_count = 0

i don't know why

[runic pecan]

bump

[tall wharf]

i think you just start dissolve it

[runic pecan]

This is how The Ox get the most played hand.

[runic pecan]

card is already the input of the function, you need a different variable name for this

[runic pecan]

There are currently four kind of context where context.cardarea == G.play is true, all of which evaluate one playing card at a time.

[runic pecan]

There are currently three kind of context where context.end_of_round is true, two of which evaluate one playing card at a time.

[heady glen]

Hey guys, there’s a card concept that I have that I really want to work out the logic for. Essentially it measures triggers per second at the end of a hand and adds that to the mult. Do y’all think it’s possible? (I know there has to be some sort of formula for it since it’s exponential)

[runic pecan]

Unfortunately, all the eval_play happens before the evaluate animation starts.
I believe the better approach would be counting play_sound('multhit2') per second.
Even so, the number wouldn't be able to affect the hand it measured, it will be more like an upgrade condition.

[tall wharf]

Talisman skip animation:

[heady glen]

Gotcha :(

Perhaps maybe I can calculate the total triggers during the hand and add 0.5+ mult for each of them

At least all the triggers until the said card is triggered and the triggers that happen afterward don’t effect it

[runic pecan]

That reminds me, how does your Observer works?

[tall wharf]

it just observes the change in mult and chips

[runic pecan]

⬆️ This could be helpful for your quest.

[hard needle]

is there a context for when a booster pack is bought?

[runic pecan]

Like this?

[midnight coyote]

there should be, idk what it is but it’s gotta be ingame

because if stuff like hallucination

[tall wharf]

i think so

[runic pecan]

There is context.open_booster that Hallucination uses.

[hard needle]

ah okay, thanks

[midnight coyote]

should i code in the concepts for all the art ive done or should I make more art

ive got a blind, 2 vouchers, some jokers,

i think i code in everything

to catch up

heres my voucher btw :333

[tall apex]

Does anyone know if there’s a return argument which actually just makes you lose?

[midnight coyote]

if not could you theoretically just make hands 0 while the hand plays and then shoot mult and chips in the foot

so its just a doomed hand

[tall apex]

True, I’m trying to make it as instant as possible tho

[midnight coyote]

there should be a way tho

[tall apex]

To quote the joker “Playing a pair actually just fucking kills you” LMAO

[bright axle]

if i have a planet key how whould i generate a planete card with that key

[hushed estuary]

Just going to ask again

[gaunt thistle]

yes, use a Regex patch

[hushed estuary]

How do I make one

[gaunt thistle]

# Inject one or more lines of code before, after, at, or interwoven into one or more
# Regex capture groups.

[patches.regex]
target = "tag.lua"
pattern = "(?<indent>[\t ]*)if (?<cond>_context.type == 'eval' then)"
position = 'at'
line_prepend = '$indent'
payload = '''
local obj = SMODS.Tags[self.key]
local res
if obj and obj.apply and type(obj.apply) == 'function' then
    res = obj.apply(self, _context)
end
if res then
    return res
elseif $cond
'''
times = 1
``` is an example

[hushed estuary]

Yeah I'm going to need some more context as to what that pattern is

[gaunt thistle]

It's Regex

[bright axle]

if context.cardarea == G.play then
           for _, hand in ipairs(G.play.cards) do
               local hand_key = context.scoring_name
               sendInfoMessage(hand_key, "info")
               card.ability.extra.hand_counts[hand_key] = (card.ability.extra.hand_counts[hand_key] or 0) + 1
           end

       end

how can i make this triger after all cards have been scored?

bcs it trigers a bunch anf the contex.afte and before dont work

[wintry solar]

What’s it supposed to do?

[hard needle]

how can i replicate the glitched description in misprint

[bright axle]

save the played hand to later calculate what hand yopu playedd the most

that is covered but it miscacaculates bcs of the context

[midnight coyote]

is there a way for an enhancement to check if it's about to be changed

and to deny the changing if it happens

[wintry solar]

You shouldn’t need to do anything like that to work out the most played hand

[bright axle]

and how can i get the most played hand?

[midnight coyote]

look at how vanilla does it for telescope

[wintry solar]

Like you were shown earlier

[bright axle]

in what context is this?

[wintry solar]

Well it depends entirely on what you’re trying to do

[midnight coyote]

?

[wintry solar]

The context makes no difference for calculating the most played hand

[bright axle]

at the end of the round i generate a negative planet card based on the most played card

[wintry solar]

Then you want context.end_of_round and context.main_eval

[midnight coyote]

hey whats a quantum enhancement

im looking through contexts and i think i found what i needed but whats a quantum enhancement

[bright axle]

this is most played onn round or on all the game?

[hushed estuary]

All time I think

[bright axle]

i only need the most played of the round

ok nvm i think G.GAME.current_round.most_played_hand is what i needed thx @wintry solar

ok it says the value is nil

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval then
            local _handname, _played, _order = 'High card', -1, 100
            local hand_counts = {}
            for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
                if v.played > _played or (v.played == _player and _order > v.order) then
                    _played = v.key
                    _handname = k
                end
            end
            G.GAME.current_round.most_played_hand = _handname
            local most_played_hand = G.GAME.current_round.most_played_hand
            sendInfoMessage(most_played_hand, "info")

            if G.GAME.current_round.most_played_hand then
                local planet = nil
                for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Planet) do
                    if v.config.hand_type == most_played_hand then
                        local _planet = v.key
                    end
                end
                sendInfoMessage(planet, "info")

                local planet_card = create_card("Planet", G.pack_cards, nil, nil, true, true, _planet, 'pl1')
                planet_card:set_edition('e_negative', true)
                planet_card:add_to_deck()
                G.consumeables:emplace(planet_card)
                card.ability.extra.hand_counts = {}
            end

        end
    end

nvm i fixed it

[formal parrot]

@wintry solar sorry for ping

Do you know how can i check for double tag gained

[midnight coyote]

why does this crash?

anyone

?

[tall wharf]

what's the crash log

[midnight coyote]

i figured it out

i never put in a color

[tall wharf]

😭

[midnight coyote]

:3

i think i’m gonna add 9 more boss blinds

actually i’m gonna add more content until i think it’s done

i’m not gonna limit myself

[hearty mesa]

I'm trying to create a joker that when you reach 50% of the blind's score, it increases the blind size by 20% but decreases it by 10% for every subsequent hand, but for some reason it's triggering at 100% of the blind's score?
modify_blind() is a function I created that just changes a blind's size lol

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.after and G.GAME.chips >= math.floor(G.GAME.blind.chips / 2) and card.ability.extra.reached_requirement == false then
            modify_blind(card.ability.extra.blind_increase)
            card.ability.extra.reached_requirement = true
            card_eval_status_text(card, "extra", nil, nil, nil, {message = "Active!"})
        end
        if context.before and card.ability.extra.reached_requirement then
            modify_blind(card.ability.extra.blind_decrease)
            card_eval_status_text(card, "extra", nil, nil, nil, {message = "Bleed!"})
        end
    end```

card.ability.extra.blind_increase and card.ability.extra.blind_decrease are 1.2 and 0.9 respectively

[thick panther]

Is there a context for entering a shop? I see one for ending a shop.

[hearty mesa]

There's a context for ending the round, context.end_of_round but you need to do context.end_of_round and not context.game_over and not context.individual and not context.repetition and not context.retrigger_joker to make it only trigger once

and also not trigger if you lose the run

[red flower]

context.end_of_round and not context.game_over and context.main_eval works

[hearty mesa]

oh dang

thanks lol

[red flower]

yes, starting_shop

[thick panther]

Weird it's not on the wiki

[red flower]

it's a new one, hasn't been documented yet

[hearty mesa]

you seem to be knowledgeable, you got any ideas on this?

[red flower]

i dont get what the problem is

[hearty mesa]

the effect is triggering at 100% of the blind's score instead of at 50% of the blind's score

[thick panther]

How would I check if a joker was bought and is in the joker slot? Is there a var for it? I know about add_to_deck, but Im looking for a var for an if-statement.

[red flower]

hmm no idea

[spiral hawk]

i keep getting a "unexpected symbol near" message aaaaaaaaaaaaa

[red flower]

if you have the joker then you can check joker.area and joker.area == G.jokers
if you just want to know if you own it then you can use next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key"))

[red flower]

get a better code editor lol

[hearty mesa]

[spiral hawk]

i'm using notepad++

[red flower]

use vscode or something

it will tell you where syntax errors are

[lucid owl]

thanks autocomplete, definitely what i was going for

[polar parrot]

is there any good tutorial on how to make mods? i want to make a mod but i dont know how.

where do i put stuff that resets every ante

[polar parrot]

thnks

[maiden phoenix]

Try using a reset_game_globals function from SMODS

i tihnk

[tall wharf]

yea im using that and store last ante

im stupid lmoa

which one of you did ti

[grand violet]

vonnegut, I think

[maiden phoenix]

Me

[grand violet]

I saw the message disappear before I clicked Ban

[maiden phoenix]

Those are becoming way more frequent tbh

[red flower]

yeah but a code editor highlights them in the code before running the game

[tall wharf]

vro is fast

[thick panther]

Is there a way to set the sell price of a joker in its calculate or update functions?

[tall wharf]

❤️

wrong sprite damn it

ill reword it
