[hard needle]

hm?

[tepid crow]

jesus wtf was that spelling of mine

if this is the function definition function Card:set_ability(center, initial, delay_sprites) how is this the call cardsetabilityref(self)

[tepid crow]

regardless, you should probably just use the built-in smods methods of resizing the joker if possible yeah ^

[hard needle]

when tf did this exist

😭

alright thanks

[hard needle]

in another hook i did that and it works so uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i think he's a little big

[hushed field]

Absolute unit

[regal ether]

big guy

[runic pecan]

It's been three weeks and I still don't know how this feature works.
At least I know it's not G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Foo.

[tepid crow]

can you show where? 👀

[hard needle]

isfaceref = Card.is_face
function Card:is_face()
    local ref = isfaceref(self)
    -- blahblah
    return ref
end

[daring fern]

Thats because it has no inputs.

[hard needle]

fair

[tepid crow]

yeah that's because that's a totally different function signature with no arguments

[zealous glen]

Also the definition syntax is wrong

instance:method(args) is equivalent to instance.method(instance, args)

[rapid stag]

bump

[wintry solar]

I will try and take a look at this tonight but I’m 95% sure you are just doing it wrong

[rapid stag]

[keen tiger]

is there a way to check if you have unlocked some deck/stake?

[runic pecan]

bump

[keen tiger]

bump

[runic pecan]

Here's stake's: G.P_STAKES[stake_key].unlock

[keen tiger]

what about decks?

[runic pecan]

Found it.
G.P_CENTERS[back_key].unlock

[keen tiger]

ebin

thanks

weird that decks is just called Backs internally

i mean balatros entire codebase is insane amounts of spaghetti code so not shocking lol

[maiden river]

well, it is the card back

[hard needle]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual then
            if pseudorandom('instant_replay') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
                return {
                    message=localize("k_again_ex"),
                    repititions = card.ability.extra.repititions,
                    card=card
                }
            end
        end
    end

why isn't it repeating properly (chips are not being added)

[odd wyvern]

So I've never worked on a balatro mod, but I'm interested in getting into it, so a quick question: is it possible to replace a card face with an animated sprite, made in aseprite or something similar?

[daring fern]

You mean a face card?

[odd wyvern]

In this situation Im intending to alter a spectral card, but I'd assume it's similar for both?

[hot island]

i was trying to convert all the base game balatro cards into json to be used in javascript so i wouldnt need to do it all manually

[daring fern]

I'm not sure if malverk supports animated sprites but: https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1300851004186820690

[hot island]

but after i just decided to use the reddit bot that already did it

[hard needle]

bump

[daring fern]

Retriggers are at context.repetition not context.individual

[scarlet thorn]

You would either have to make the card use an Animated sprite, or do something similar to how cryptid does for pointer and jimball

Cryptid's way is much easier, imo. It can be done patchless

[hard needle]

so i should write context.cardarea == G.play and context.repitition?

[daring fern]

No, context.repEtition

[odd wyvern]

Awesome, so I'd assume that would involve pointing to a new file, and taking out any references to the old spritesheet. I'd assumed animated sprites are usable, since the fire score anim is a thing, but is it just not easy in base game?

[hard needle]

ah shoot sorry yeah

[scarlet thorn]

There's 2 sprite classes, Sprite and AnimatedSprite. Which ever one is used, is hard coded. To edit whichever spectral card you want, you would need to take ownership of it, and point it to a new atlas yea

[hard needle]

but then, nothing happens..?

[red flower]

did you fix the typo in the return too

[dreamy thunder]

how would i make a joker change the values of the glass cards? For example when you have a specific joker mult and odds of glass cards will double

[hard needle]

oh

yeah that was why 😭

[dreamy thunder]

im guessing with a patch?

[hard needle]

i need to stop making typos bro

[red flower]

you can take ownership

smods does so you can just copy that code

[dreamy thunder]

oh i forgot about

ownerships

thank u 🙏

[lethal stratus]

boo development boo

[hoary crown]

a

[sturdy compass]

Ok so to do this, you'd wanna check if context.other_card has 'm_stone'

You can do that in a variety of different ways, but the one I'd recommend is via SMODS.has_enhancement, which is a function that takes a card and an enhancement key

[lethal stratus]

how do i type that out?

ive been using context.other_card:get_id()

[hoary crown]

/find glass_card

[sturdy compass]

SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_stone')

[unborn bay]

get_id usually refers to rank

[sturdy compass]

<@&1133519078540185692> scammer!!

[unborn bay]

kill this person

[rough furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/mods-discord-mod-moderator-moderation-clash-of-clans-gif-24080525

[lethal stratus]

that was fast ggs guys

?

[sturdy compass]

Yeah that looks good minus the card = context.other_card bit. You could honestly get rid of it entirely

[unborn bay]

usually repetitions caused by jokers have messages by the joker itself

[sturdy compass]

also it's spelled "repetition" not "reptition"

[lethal stratus]

oop

[unborn bay]

not the card its repeating

i almost said fard

[odd wyvern]

Great, thanks! Sorry to ask more, but taking a trawl around the code, it looks like animatedSprite is being included from a larger library? And, forgive my inexperience, the love2d docs don't return anything when I look up animatedSprite. If you know, would you be able to point me towards what library he's pulling from?

[scarlet thorn]

Engine/AnimatedSprite.lua

It's in the base game code

[lethal stratus]

how do i pull up the debugplus menu again

[scarlet thorn]

Tab

[sturdy compass]

hold tab

[hoary crown]

Hold alt and press f4

[lethal stratus]

no

:(

[hoary crown]

yes

<:)

[sturdy compass]

no no he's right

[lethal stratus]

currently no retriggers

[odd wyvern]

Found it! Thank you a ton

[lethal stratus]

any ideas as to why stones arent retriggering?

[sturdy compass]

Your variable is still called "reptitions" lol

[lethal stratus]

motherFUCK

[tepid crow]

hold alt and press f5, actually

[lethal stratus]

i changed the wrong one

[hoary crown]

R E P T I T I O N S

[lethal stratus]

no more reptitions

still nothin

[sturdy compass]

hmmmm

[tepid crow]

did you restart the run

[lethal stratus]

i reset the game like

[sturdy compass]

Oh true

[lethal stratus]

5 times

lol

and yes i did

[sturdy compass]

But the run

[tepid crow]

no, whether you restarted the run

[lethal stratus]

everytime i go to retest a joker i start a new run

[tepid crow]

👍

[sturdy compass]

That's good, but still weird that it's not working

[lethal stratus]

here hold on

[rare obsidian]

I’m working on a mod called Scribble, in which you can make scribbled cards, which are more common, but less powerful

is it a cool concept?

[shell timber]

oh like scribbled perkeo would make a nonnegative copy

sounds funny

[lethal stratus]

if you want to test

idk why jade doesnt work

[hard needle]

scribbled chicot disables of a boss blind after 3 boss blinds

[sturdy compass]

I know I said get rid earlier of it but try adding a card = card to your return table. I truly can't see anything else that'd be wrong

I'm just throwing stuff at the wall here ngl

[lethal stratus]

that was it lmao

jokers not shaking again though

snh

[sturdy compass]

Bruh 😭

[lethal stratus]

this one seems easy

[sturdy compass]

yeah that's basically just a chain of context.scoring_hand[1]:get_id() checks

[lethal stratus]

I have a huge list of joker concepts if you're wondering

[sturdy compass]

I can see that

[lethal stratus]

how much do rares normally cost

[red flower]

what version of smods do you have lol

[sturdy compass]

Looks like a range of 7 to 10

[sturdy compass]

OH

That would explain it 😭

[lethal stratus]

lemme fix that 😭

[rough furnace]

3 month old steamodded my beloved

[lethal stratus]

how much does the trio cost?

[undone maple]

i wanna learn modding balatro, specifically aiming for a jokers mod for a friend group, where should i start?

[plain apex]

can i copy a joker even if it is no longer there?
like this works but if you sell the joker then it no longer copies it

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'bbillyn',
    loc_txt = {
        ['en-us'] = {
            name = "Billboard",
            text = {
                "Copies the last bought Joker",
                "Currently: {C:attention}#1#{}"
            }

    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        -- If buying a Joker and it's not Billboard itself
        if context.buying_card and context.card ~= card and context.card.ability.set == 'Joker' then
            local bought_key = context.card.config.center.key
            card.ability.extra.copied_key = bought_key
        end

        local key = card.ability.extra.copied_key
        if not key then return end

        -- Find a joker with that key on the board (exclude Billboard itself)
        for _, other in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            if other ~= card and other.config.center.key == key then
                context.blueprint = (context.blueprint and (context.blueprint + 1)) or 1
                context.blueprint_card = context.blueprint_card or card

                if context.blueprint > #G.jokers.cards + 1 then return end

                local result, triggered = other:calculate_joker(context)

        end
    end
}

[undone maple]

was looking for that thank you

[red flower]

not easily

[sturdy compass]

Oh hey another last bought joker blueprint lol

[lethal stratus]

you need to store a copy of what the card does i think

[daring fern]

You could hook sell_card maybe?

[red flower]

i would create a copy of the joker in a hidden cardarea

[plain apex]

oh? did you get yours to work?

[lethal stratus]

?

[plain apex]

$8

[red flower]

https://antifandom.com/balatrogame/wiki/Jokers

[sturdy compass]

I did yes, and I think even if I sell the card it copies it

Here's the code if you'd like to reference https://github.com/the-Astra/Maximus/blob/main/items/jokers/bootleg.lua

[red flower]

does this work on reload?

[sturdy compass]

It does actually

Not handled in that file but yes

[red flower]

oh do you do something else for it to work? i assumed G.GAME.last_bought.card breaks on load

<@&1133519078540185692>

[sturdy compass]

I'm hooking save_run and start_run to repopulate the .card attribute on reload. I actually have two cards that utilize it

[red flower]

oh yeah i think i remember the zombie thing

[sturdy compass]

That's probably still the most in-depth card I've made lol

[formal parrot]

I’ve been learning too much C i can’t end a sentence without the ;

[lethal stratus]

screwed something up! accidentally made this card trigger on each card instead of if there was a card.

[formal parrot]

Like what the fuck ;

VOID GET MY ASS OUT OF HERE ;

[red flower]

damn

[lethal stratus]

?

[sturdy compass]

You need a and context.scoring_hand[1] == context.other_card

[red flower]

you need to do that in context.joker_main and check context.scoring_hand[1]

[sturdy compass]

I don't think that has to be in joker_main does it?

[red flower]

it says "gives" so im assuming its the joker and not the card

the timing changes

[sturdy compass]

Hmmm you're right, wording definitely gives that

That sounds like a description rework instead then since they went for individual off rip

[lethal stratus]

no i coded it wrong

description is what i meant to do

[sturdy compass]

Ah lmao

[sturdy compass]

what code

[red flower]

code?

[lethal stratus]

i love checks

[sturdy compass]

You don't need this anymore actually lol

I was going off of you using context.individual

[wintry solar]

does this not become consumables cards?

[sturdy compass]

Consumables don't have a blueprint_compat value

[red flower]

also this is kinda technical but you want the general context check before using context.scoring_hand because it doesn't exist in every context

[wintry solar]

yeah but if you buy a joker then a planet doesnt this do nothing?

[sturdy compass]

No, it would still copy the joker

[sturdy compass]

The stored card doesn't change unless the card being bought is blueprint_compat == true

[red flower]

you need to change other_card for scoring_hand[1]

[lethal stratus]

where?

[red flower]

all of them

[lethal stratus]

i thought i already did that

oh do you meant the context checks

[sturdy compass]

yes

[wintry solar]

oh its a value that you set conditionally, I see

[sturdy compass]

correct

[daring fern]

Would blueprint for non-jokers be possible?

[sturdy compass]

It's a lil weird but I think it's more player-friendly since they don't have to worry about buying things that aren't compatible

[lethal stratus]

ok that works

[sturdy compass]

I don't think it would for the use function, but in a case with like observatory and planet cards, maybe???

[daring fern]

What about playing cards though?

[sturdy compass]

I’m honestly not sure

[rough furnace]

playing cards use calculate do they not?

nothing will have blueprint checks though

[sturdy compass]

That’s my line of thought too, but idk how that’d work in a blueprint context

[rough furnace]

it should work the same

like retriggering

stuff likely isn't designed around it though

so it might need more work

[lethal stratus]

the mod is supposed to be base-game plus so uh... is this too different

[sturdy compass]

Not at all. I have one that does that too and it’s Uncommon LMAO

[lethal stratus]

i think it being legendary might be a bit too small

maybe it should be add a card to both sides?

[sturdy compass]

Both sides?

[lethal stratus]

one to the amount of cards in the pack, one to the amount you can take

[tepid crow]

one extra card to take, one extra card to see

[lethal stratus]

^

[tepid crow]

both sides cuz it's left/right on the booster pack description haha

[sturdy compass]

Ah so offbyone lol

Still not sure if it’s legendary-calibre tho

[lethal stratus]

i need it to be legendary so if thats not good enough i need to buff it x3

(the legendaries are all based on important things from vivid/stasis)

[hushed field]

I do think that that a version of that effect that's suitably legendary might not feel as base game compatible anymore

[sturdy compass]

Having a ton of pack cards is cool an all but that can backfire pretty easily because of cardarea limits

[lethal stratus]

yeah thats true

what else could i have it do that wouldn't feel too out of hand

[red flower]

xchips

[lethal stratus]

hm

none of the other cards do that, but what Xchips amount would be legendary considering

[sturdy compass]

I have a X2 chips card that’s rare so take that how you will

[red flower]

i was joking anyway lol

[lethal stratus]

raghhh

[wintry solar]

X2 chips as a rare is horrible imo

[shell timber]

the Duo:

[modern kindle]

i was gonna say yea

[wintry solar]

yeah I guess

[rapid stag]

how strong is xchips

[keen tiger]

should i use the event manager to call stuff like Game:start_run?

Also: does Game:start_run fully initialize the blind info

[shell timber]

xchips is roughly equal to xmult

[faint yacht]

All depends.

[rapid stag]

i have a charge and swap legendary that flips between xchips and xmult. it's apparently balanced so #⚙・modding-general message

[lethal stratus]

hmmph

[keen tiger]

?

oh it does

[rugged pier]

how do you prevent death but continue the same round?

[lethal stratus]

idk how to make this either worth being a legendary or just make some utility joker like this that is a legendary

[daring fern]

Try looking at how the normal saved works and try modifying it?

[rugged pier]

yeah let me see

[sturdy compass]

It's mainly a gimmick anyways since it was made in a vacuum where it's the only one of its kind

[rugged pier]

nevermind

doesnt work

[hidden notch]

I want to iterate trough a List of all Booster Packs, Vouchers, Consumable Cards (Like Tarot, Planet or Spectral) and Jokers...
I thought I'd be cheeky and solve it with this lil' Code-Snippet... But that runs into some problems, so any better Ideas on how to tackle this? :)

[keen tiger]

is there any documentation of the objects contained in the raw G.GAME object at all?

id like to just read through that rather than having to decipher how the bajillion different fields are used

[red flower]

no

[sturdy compass]

Not really lol

[keen tiger]

😐

i might be the one documenting this then

for what im working on i need to obtain more or less the entire game state

[rugged pier]

bump

[sturdy compass]

I guess ease a hand with instant = true?

[rugged pier]

that prevents the round from ending?

since the context is already set by the game

[sturdy compass]

hmm

[rugged pier]

i guess i could just do final scoring step on last hand if i cant use end_of_round

[sturdy compass]

Why not just use G.P_CENTERS?

[hidden notch]

If Card-Sleeves are installed, you pull those from the G.P_CENTERS aswell ^^'

[sturdy compass]

I think the main thing is that we don't have context as to what you're trying to do with this list

[red flower]

then you can check the set

[hardy viper]

iterate through G.P_CENTER_POOLS.<POOL> for every pool you're interested in

pool names r all caps

iirc

[red flower]

i think theyre not

[hardy viper]

could be like

Joker

[willow plinth]

holy shit this took way too long but here it is (icc profile didn't work because all icc tools are outdated garbage and newer mac screens kinda don't use icc so i had to convert the game shader to a metal shader and put it into a swift app aaaaahhhhhhcsweopscvmwmvgwioerrgwrgweiopjk)

[hardy viper]

then

im not sure

[red flower]

yeah

[sturdy compass]

I like this solution. And to make it even easier, you could do excluding checks (i.e. v.set ~= card_sleeve) instead of including checks (i.e. v.set == joker or etc.)

[hidden notch]

Basically:
1.) Generate 1 at Random
2.) Have a Pack with any of those as Options
3.) And have a Joker that basically overrides any of those Pools with all of the pools :3

[hardy viper]

regardless for that initial approach you should do string.sub(key, 1, 2) == "j_"

[red flower]

jimbo:
jimbo in canada:

[sturdy compass]

Not to say that's the proper syntax for the checks, just an example

[willow plinth]

btw windows users can easily do this with this tool: https://github.com/mausimus/ShaderGlass

[keen tiger]

i want to poll something: is anyone interested in automated unit testing for balatro mods? i.e. instead of having to repeatedly do the same things in balatro to test your additions, you could write some code that does stuff to the balatro game state and then tests if the results make sense. what i'm working on could feasibly allow this, assuming your mod doesnt do insane things to balatro's codebase

[willow plinth]

my friend

[keen tiger]

sorry for the word dump

[willow plinth]

noooo, see this: https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1363562105449746452

[keen tiger]

OH

so uhhh i was working on this

😐

[willow plinth]

well we couild both work on this

mine isn't even usable, theres nothing implemented yet

[keen tiger]

ok so me and @haughty cargo were working on a remoting mod. it uses rust and a tcp socket so you can make remote control interfaces

[red flower]

personally even with my mod having some more complicated mechanics i dont touch them enough to really need to unit test but if it's easy to do then it might be useful anyway

[keen tiger]

so if we want to collectively pool our efforts into a single project that would be ebin

[willow plinth]

my holiday just ended so i won't have that much time rn, but feel free to either yank any code from my side (especially the lua socket stuff perhaps? and maybe the state/action philosophy?)

it's all licensed under 0BSD

[unkempt thicket]

How can i remove all UI that appears when hovering over a card?

[red flower]

i think cards have a no_ui flag in them but i don't remember the name exactly

[willow plinth]

i also did this diagram while figuring out states and possible actions: #1349064230825103441 message

[keen tiger]

i think we might be doing the same thing. we use balatro multiplayers socket. our protocol is roughly trying to model balatro as a finite state machine, so i.e Send(main_menu/action/new_run) will yield Recv(blind_select/info)

[red flower]

it's checked in card:hover

[willow plinth]

yeah i was afraid to call it finite state machine because i dropped out of school and don't have a single semester of CS under my belt but yeah i guess that's what it's called

[hidden notch]

Yeah, all of you helped tremendously, Thank you

[keen tiger]

lets continue this in dms

[willow plinth]

aight the other person wrote me

[desert ore]

just wondering, how feasible is a joker concept that reverses scoring order? so for all goes right to left. jokers first, then held in hand, then played hand, then base?

[red flower]

someone recently did a joker that makes jokers score first so not impossible

you need to patch the scoring loops i think

[desert ore]

sounds like an interesting idea but might be a lot of work lol

oh that's funny observatory would go before jokers

[lethal stratus]

losing my mind

[undone maple]

still unsure whats causing this,, im trying to mod for the first time

[lethal stratus]

i need a utility based joker(something that happens like perkeo does) but i cant think of it

this isnt good enough

[desert ore]

what would you consider utility, something that doesn't directly make money or contribute to scoring?

[lethal stratus]

basically

changes some other aspect, like rerolling

[rugged pier]

the problem is on line 19, i asume that is not in your calculate function

[undone maple]

dont really know whats wrong with line 19 either

[rugged pier]

name = 'yeaboy',

youre missing a comma

[undone maple]

🤦‍♂️ classic

thank you

[rugged pier]

np

[next timber]

When making a collab skin you can define additional palettes beyond high and low contrast, but i cant see any way to do this for the default skins of custom suits?

[old bane]

how does one use SMODS.calculate_effect() btw?

[red flower]

for what

[graceful magnet]

I've tried like a dozen different things but I can't get the G.play/scoring_hand check to go through

[red flower]

i think cardarea is not given in before

it's an error in the wiki

or it's bugged or something

[old bane]

like id ideally want to use it for like a blueprint effect or something where a joker copies the effect of a random other joker for a round

[red flower]

that's not what it's for, it's to parse the returns from calculate (and you can use it to return a message outside of calculate or things like that)

there's a helper function for blueprint effects

[old bane]

oh i see

does this helper function require that the player have the other joker in their loadout or no

[red flower]

im pretty sure it does

[graceful magnet]

alright well

the scoring_hand check still doesn't go through

[red flower]

oh weird

[graceful magnet]

wait, I might need to make these not connected ifs

[red flower]

if both conditions can be met at the same time yes

[graceful magnet]

yeah that's what it is then

[lethal stratus]

how do i make the config/calculate for this

(ik config and loc_vars are wrong i copied it)

[graceful magnet]

Yep it all works now

[next timber]

is there any way to define palettes other than lc and hc for a custom suit? i know its possible with deckskins but id like this to be on the default skin

[undone maple]

trying to make a joker work like flower pot, but i dont know what an "unexpected symbol" is

[daring fern]

add_tag(“iforgetwhatthatkeyis”)
end``` maybe?

[next timber]

dont run code in a return

[daring fern]

You can’t return in a return.

[gusty iron]

So im trying to make it so when youre playing with a certain deck, after every round, theres a 1/[rank] chance of each card in the deck ranking up, how would i do this?

[daring fern]

Probably loop through G.playing_cards and get card.base.id I would write it but I’m on phone right now

[gusty iron]

and how would i check the current deck being used?

[lethal stratus]

whats the voucher tag called 😭

[daring fern]

G.GAME.selected_back

[desert ore]

tag_voucher is the key

[gusty iron]

and it returns the key?

[daring fern]

Yes, with b_ and with mod prefix

[cedar island]

sorry to barge in, but I'm trying to make a mod for the first time and it's not showing up in the list. I followed the example mod in the SModded repo mostly, what's the most likely reason?

[lethal stratus]

what would the config be

/ loc_vars

[daring fern]

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

[gusty iron]

question, does card.base.id return a number?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[gusty iron]

so

from 2~14?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[gusty iron]

okay that should

make this ALOT easier

[desert ore]

I don't think it needs a loc_vars or config? right? there's no extra variables that need to be displayed/used/can be tweaked later here, if you were to change it to 2 voucher tags or smth I think it would though?

[lethal stratus]

fair

[gusty iron]

if G.GAME.selected_back == "b_JCJ_2deck" then
for _, card in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
if not card.base.id == 14 then
number = pseudorandom('deck') -- This just generates a number from 0 to 1
if number <= 1 / card.base.id then
card.base.id = card.base.id + 1
end

end
end
end

would this work?

[cedar island]

do you mean I should ask there?

[daring fern]

No, you should read the first message.

[daring fern]

Did you check if it worked?

[gusty iron]

i did and i dont think it worked

[daring fern]

You should get the lua extension

[daring fern]

I don’t think you can just add to the id, try looking at strength

[lethal stratus]

didnt mean to reply

but

idk why it tweaketh so

[gusty iron]

where would i find that?

[desert ore]

I should probably change what program editor I use, which do you guys recommend?

[daring fern]

In the source code

[sturdy compass]

For some reason you have two types of quotes here

[lethal stratus]

...

how did i do that

[daring fern]

The lua extension inquires you about these syntax errors

[cedar island]

sorry maybe I'm stupid, but do you mean "Remember to download Steamodded and Lovely first." or something else? Other mods work fine, I made a separate copy of Balatro and everything. Mine just doesn't show up in the list in-game

[daring fern]

No I meant the whole first message not the first line of the first message

[daring fern]

Code?

[gusty iron]

does anyone here now how to upgrade a card's rank?

[lethal stratus]

probably forgot about a prefix or smthn

[daring fern]

Try looking at strength

[gusty iron]

the source code is too complicated for me 😭

[daring fern]

It’s in card.lua just ctrl f strength

[sturdy compass]

Did you get the right Lua extension? Something looks wrong lol

[lethal stratus]

theres like twelve of them

i was just told get a lua extension 😭

[gusty iron]

oh i see

[daring fern]

Get the one with 1 million downloads

[desert ore]

?

[daring fern]

vscode

[red flower]

vscode

[lethal stratus]

its tweaking about SMODS rn 😭

[gusty iron]

if G.GAME.selected_back == "b_JCJ_2deck" then
for _, card in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
if not card.base.id == 14 then
number = pseudorandom('deck') -- This just generates a number from 0 to 1
if number <= (1 / card.base.id) then
  local suit_prefix = string.sub(card.base.suit, 1, 1)..'_'
                    local rank_suffix = card.base.id == 14 and 2 or math.min(card.base.id+1, 14)
                    if rank_suffix < 10 then rank_suffix = tostring(rank_suffix)
                    elseif rank_suffix == 10 then rank_suffix = 'T'
                    elseif rank_suffix == 11 then rank_suffix = 'J'
                    elseif rank_suffix == 12 then rank_suffix = 'Q'
                    elseif rank_suffix == 13 then rank_suffix = 'K'
                    elseif rank_suffix == 14 then rank_suffix = 'A'
                    end
                    card:set_base(G.P_CARDS[suit_prefix..rank_suffix])
end

end
end
end
``` i dont think this works

oh wait

im an idiot

[lethal stratus]

but the add_tag errored out

[red flower]

try add_tag(Tag('tag_voucher'))

[desert ore]

lol was just typing that out

diet cola has it like that for some reason

[lethal stratus]

voucher tags work, jokers dont move at all

[red flower]

wdym

[lethal stratus]

need to give them a message is all

[red flower]

yeah

[lethal stratus]

what message should i use

[gusty iron]

how would i make something print into debugplus?

[sturdy compass]

print(message)

[lethal stratus]

i dont know what to make it say though

[gusty iron]

chat it is NOT printing 😭

[daring fern]

+1 Tag

[lethal stratus]

message is a placeholder 😭

[sturdy compass]

are you looking in the external console or the ingame debug console

[gusty iron]

the debugplus mod made by someone else

[sturdy compass]

what

[rapid stag]

are you referring to debugplus

[lethal stratus]

thats not what i meant 😭

[sturdy compass]

That does not answer my question lmao

[sturdy compass]

That wasn't directed at you 😭

[gusty iron]

this

[lethal stratus]

what are they trying to do?!?!

[rapid stag]

so, yes

[daring fern]

You need to return {message = “+1 Tag”}

[gusty iron]

yeah

[sturdy compass]

So nothing is coming up here when you print()?

[gusty iron]

yeah

[sturdy compass]

Then have you considered the code you're running never actually reaches the line that the print is at

[gusty iron]

no i found out where it prints

the command prompt

[sturdy compass]

[quick kraken]

What's the name of the variable for on trigger money effects?

[bright axle]

aby ide why this doesnt trigger?

[quick kraken]

Like on scoring a certain card gain money

And where can I go about learning more stuff like this, like the names of variables I need to use, without needing to look at the example mod or the code of other mods?

[rapid stag]

@red flower @sturdy compass @daring fern they mean the lovely console.

[bright axle]

for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
                        if context.scoring_hand[i]:is_face() then first_face = context.scoring_hand[i]; break end
                    end

you could do this

[sturdy compass]

I’m aware

[red flower]

dollars https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[red flower]

my confusion is that they were talking about debugplus

[quick kraken]

thanks

[sturdy compass]

And also the fact that the dbp console is allegedly not showing the prints

[rapid stag]

my understanding is that the dbp console doesn't output everything that goes to the lovely console

depending on the dbp setting

i forget what the default setting is

[red flower]

yeah thats true but the default should im pretty sure

[sturdy compass]

I definitely didn’t have to change anything for stuff to print

[rapid stag]

...i see the confusion now

[bright axle]

any idea why if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
doesnt trigger bc i have logs and they dont show up

[sturdy compass]

Yeah lmao

[sturdy compass]

What are you trying to do

[gusty iron]

how do i get the current game round?

[bright axle]

in generating 4 cards

but none gets generated

and no logs show

[undone maple]

how do i check if the card played is an ace of spades? i know to check the played cards rank but is there a way to narrow it down to spades

[daring fern]

card:is_suit(“Spades”)

[gusty iron]

bumop

[bright axle]

local is_ace_spades = card.base.suit == 'S' and card.base.rank == 'A' 

whould this work?

[undone maple]

that'd help

thank you :)

[bright axle]

im asking

[daring fern]

card.base.rank doesn’t exist and card.base.suit would be “Spades”

[bright axle]

and could you do card.front=="S_A"?

[daring fern]

No, it would be if card:get_id() == 14 and card:is_suit(“Spades”) then so it’s compatible with wild cards

[gusty iron]

jippie

[daring fern]

If that’s the effect of the deck why did you need to check what deck was being used?

[gusty iron]

because the round function

i put it into a hook

[daring fern]

What?

[gusty iron]

i had to put it in a hook

so if i didnt do the deck check

it would activate for every deck

[daring fern]

You know context.end_of_round exists?

[gusty iron]

.

im going to fall over

i mean

it works though so

i guess im not complaining

[gusty iron]

can i use this in jokers too

[daring fern]

Yes you can use this in any calculate function

[gusty iron]

oh my god so peak

thatll make this next joker im making so easy

though how do i check the rarity of a joker

[next timber]

im trying to add my mod to bmm, but for some reason the /archive/refs/heads/main.zip for my repo is a 404? for other repos it gives the source code zip for the latest release so idk why its not working on mine

[sleek siren]

How would I be able to add my own collab face cards texture with steamodded?

[gusty iron]

Look into malverk

[sleek siren]

Thanks! ^^

[undone maple]

struggling so hard to word this, need more opinions about it

[gusty iron]

If played hand has 2 cards
and a spade; destroy all
non-spades, and retrigger all
spades.

how do i check the order of the jokers?

[daring fern]

SMODS.Deckskin

[undone maple]

two cards and a spade could sound like it needs just two cards and a spade, like 3 cards

[red flower]

your repo uses master instead of main

[sleek siren]

Ooooo ok! ^^

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[gusty iron]

like how would i check the order of the jokers you have in your joker bar

[quick kraken]

What's the context name for skipping a blind and for reaching required score?

[daring fern]

You would iterate over G.joker.cards and get its location

[red flower]

context.skip_blind
none for reaching score other than end_of_round

[gusty iron]

so if it was the second in the bar, it would be G.joker.cards[2]?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[quick kraken]

skip_blind doesn't work

[red flower]

where and how are you using it

[quick kraken]

I think I just need to look at how a hypothetical Throwback would be implemented and I can rearrange that into what I need

basically I need something to happen to a scaling value when skipping

and I also need somehting to happen to that scaling value at end of round

[red flower]

if context.skip_blind then
    card.ability.extra.value = ...
end
if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and context.game_over == false then
    card.ability.extra.value = ...
end

[gusty iron]

last question, how do i get the rarity of a joker?

[red flower]

card.config.center.rarity

[quick kraken]

Can I also return a message in both of these?

[red flower]

yes

[quick kraken]

ok...

then I don't get how my earlier test didn't work

wait

Does this not go in calculate()?

[red flower]

yes

[quick kraken]

it does?

[red flower]

yeah

[quick kraken]

then that is mighty weird how it didn't work with the skip earlier

[red flower]

no idea

[quick kraken]

Well I'm running the game testing the joker and neither works

[cedar island]

how do I factor retriggers into #context.scoring_hand?

[red flower]

can i see the joker code

[red flower]

i dont think you can easily. is there a reason you need to use that over context.individual?

[cedar island]

probably not

[quick kraken]

    key = "manualTest",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Instruction Manual",
        text = {
            "At end of round,",
            "Gains {C:mult}+Mult{} equal to {C:chips}remaining hands{}",
            "Resets if blind is skipped",
            "{C:inactive}(Currently {C:mult}+#1#{C:inactive} Mult)"
        }
    },
    config = {extra = { mult = 0}},
    rarity = 2,
    atlas = "Jokers",
    pos = {x = 3, y = 0},
    cost = 4,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main and not mult == 0 then
            return {
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
                message = "+" .. card.ability.extra.mult,
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end
        if context.skip_blind then
            card.ability.extra.mult = 0
            return {
                message = "Reset",
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end
        
        if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and context.game_over == false then
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + G.GAME.current_round.hands_left
            return {
                message = "Next step!",
                colour = G.C.CHIPS
            }
        end
    end
}```

[red flower]

do the messages not appear at all?

also what version of smods do you have

[quick kraken]

Not at all, and the values don't change

[quick kraken]

I last updated on sunday

do I really just need to update smods?

[red flower]

nah i just wanted to see if you had a really old one

[wintry solar]

not mult == 0 isn't correct

[quick kraken]

I was just gonna delete that anyways and it's not the source of the issue

[bright axle]

any idea why this doesnt add the created card to a deck?

[red flower]

does any other context work? like returning a message in joker_main?

[quick kraken]

The upgrade part somehow works now after updating smods and restarting the run

[red flower]

amazing

[quick kraken]

And the skip blind too

[gusty iron]

so im running a chance at the end of each round, but for some reason, it runs once for every single card in my hand

[gentle rain]

currently trying to decipher how blueprint/brainstorm work

[red flower]

check this
#💻・modding-dev message

[gentle rain]

is it possible to copy more than one joker at once

and regardless of the jokers position, instead based off its name

currently trying to implement "copies the ability of food jokers"

[brisk rose]

Maybe use retriggers?

[tepid crow]

there is definitely a gameplay difference between copy and retrigger though

I've considered nerfing one of my jokers to be copy instead of retrigger

(I just couldn't get it to behave properly)

[gentle rain]

id rather not because that ignores and not context.blueprint

[sleek siren]

For some reason my deck skin isn't showing anything for the cards, how could I fix this?

[brisk rose]

Could you not manually check for that though?

[bright axle]

how can i add a created card to the deck?

[tepid crow]

they* mean for other jokers

pretty sure you should be able to set context.blueprint yourself though

[gentle rain]

not he/him!!

[brisk rose]

Yeah I get that, I meant basically what you just said

[gentle rain]

thankyou

[gusty iron]

how exactly could this help?

[red flower]

if I understood correctly you're using end_of_round and it's triggering for each card instead of once?

[gusty iron]

yeah

[red flower]

then use the check i did in that code

[gusty iron]

oh

that

worked

thanks

!!

[sleek siren]

I occasionally get this error on startup too,

[cedar island]

really basic question but I don't understand what the Smods doc for calculate functions tells me. I understand the context check statements, but I don't understand what the variables below them do. What are they and how do I use them?

[gentle rain]

my brain is getting so fried, if any1 has documentation on copying/retriggering it would be so appreciated

[red flower]

all the variables are what the context table has inside when the check is true

[red flower]

i know there's SMODS.blueprint_effect but i dont think its documented yet

[gentle rain]

ouuuuuugh thatd be SO helpful

if theres mods that use it i could certainly peek off of them

[gentle rain]

is retriggering jokers something i can do in vanilla or does that need to be patched in myself

[red flower]

there are some https://github.com/search?q=SMODS.blueprint_effect&type=code

[lethal stratus]

how do i make this lol

[last sentinel]

are context.before and context.individual mutually exclusive?

[cedar island]

so they are variables that I can check in that specific context? So for example scoring_name in the relevant context could have the string "Full House" or whatever in it?

[tepid crow]

Built in if you enable the optional feature

[brisk rose]

There's an smods api for it

[hasty mist]

is it possible to make boss blinds skippable

[crisp coral]

if you add logic to boss blind skipping, maybe

[hasty mist]

wdym by that

[crisp coral]

there's no logic for skipping boss blinds because the game never expects you to do so

[scarlet thorn]

I remember seeing snippets of conversations about this but, lovely patching another mod like =[SMODS XXX "file.path"] doesnt work on mac, right?

[scarlet thorn]

Theres a optional flag with SMODS where you can enable retrigger jokers. Not entirely sure how to implement it

[red flower]

yes

[red flower]

yes

[red flower]

yes

[formal parrot]

Yes

[red flower]

i hope that's updated soon

[last sentinel]

Yes

[shrewd cobalt]

Am doing this right? Trying to have a joker retrigger lucky cards only if theres at least one still held in hand unplayed

[keen tiger]

what can you pass into the (e) parameter in button fns to make them work?

it cant be nil and its something related to ui elements

[red flower]

local lucky_hand is going to be reset when the context changes so no

either make it a field in card.ability.extra or do a loop on G.hand directly in repetition

[shrewd cobalt]

Alright, sounds good, thanks a lot!

[undone maple]

how will i destroy non-spade cards?

doesnt seem to trigger

the retrigger works fine - destroying doesnt

[red flower]

it needs to be in context.destroy_card

[keen tiger]

bump

[undone maple]

how exactly do i make it work, context.destroy_card == G.play ?

[red flower]

no, it's a separate context

if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play then
    -- check if it's not spades and destroy it
end

[undone maple]

thats helpful

thank you

[keen tiger]

bump

what ui element do i pass into functions taking the e argument to avoid a crash

[red flower]

the UIElement of the button im guessing

[keen tiger]

idk how to find the button lol, its blind select

[red flower]

whats the function?

[rustic swallow]

i made a joker that gives 2 free rerolls if you have $25 or more, but its triggering multiple times as long as i have over $25, does anyone know how to fix it?

[undone maple]

unsure if i added it correctly

[wooden nexus]

How do i make something shiny like gold stake?

or spectrals

[red flower]

it should be this, i think you can search it in-game by the id

[keen tiger]

what function

[red flower]

it's at the top

[red flower]

remove card = self but yes

[undone maple]

got this error

just when i played the hand

[red flower]

oh yeah sorry

replace other_card with destroy_card

[keen tiger]

no how do you find the element by the id

[hasty mist]

im trying to migrate some hardcoded code into a function for ease of use, what's wrong here?

[red flower]

oh e.UIBox:get_UIE_by_ID('select_blind_button')

[keen tiger]

what is e

how do i find e

[undone maple]

seems to work perfectly, thank you!

[keen tiger]

is it GAME.E or

[red flower]

it's the parent i think
G.blind_select is the main node im pretty sure but idk what's inside exactly

the game uses G.blind_select.UIRoot.children[1].children[1].config.object:get_UIE_by_ID('select_blind_button')

i hate UI

[unkempt thicket]

Speaking of UI (Art pending)

[brisk rose]

Make and decrement a variable that only resets on a new shop?

But I think that's built in

Idk what is called though

[gusty iron]

how would i make a consumable/consumable pack only be available when you have a certain deck?

[red flower]

this works G.FUNCS.select_blind({config = {ref_table = G.P_BLINDS[G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices['Small']]}})

(change small for the type of blind)

[brisk rose]

In_pool in some capacity I presume

[gusty iron]

i dont exactly

understand??

[desert ore]

looking at what message to have on my joker when it adds mult to itself, and it turns out it's very inconsistent

green joker displays "+1 Mult", Spare Trousers displays a red "Upgraded!" wee displays a yellow "Upgraded", ride the bus displays nothing

[urban wasp]

is there a way to make the color of the text of card evals a specific color?
like, for example, i would like the bg to be dark_edition and the text to be edition

[urban wasp]

best to do is red "Upgraded!" usually

[desert ore]

that's what I was going to go with but it's odd how it's not consistent

[gusty iron]

do red or yellow upgraded, whichever one fits the color scheme of your card

[urban wasp]

if it's chips, blue "Upgraded!", and if it's both or none, yellow "Upgraded!"

[rapid stag]

what the upgraded

[gusty iron]

i dont have enough space for 100 so i have to improvise

[urban wasp]

PEAK

[wooden nexus]

how do i do this?

(The shine)

[unkempt thicket]

Drawstep

[gusty iron]

how do i make custom cards using smods?

[wooden nexus]

draw(self, card, layer)?

I don't know how to set that up lol

[undone maple]

trying to check if the played hand contains a scored spade card. trying to do it the way superposition does to check if theres a scoring ace. whats causing this?

[unkempt thicket]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.DrawStep

[gusty iron]

Bump

[brisk rose]

Wym cards? Consumables, enhancements, suits?

[gusty iron]

like normal playing cards

these ones dont have suits

just the respective chip and multiplier upgrades

[unkempt thicket]

So like enhancements?

[brisk rose]

Do you want it programmed as an enhancement?

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

In any case check the sidebar here for a lot of info

[gusty iron]

would it make them separate cards?

[brisk rose]

Well you can also have them be a custom suitless suit/ rankless rank

[red flower]

what's the rest of the code? you are probably not in the right context

[brisk rose]

So other enhancements can be applied

[urban wasp]

bump, then bump again. surely it'll make a splash if i do it just one more time (this is the first bump 💀)

[unkempt thicket]

https://github.com/Breezebuilder/Steamodded-Wiki/blob/dev/Text-Styling.md

[wooden nexus]

What's this then in SMODS.Seal?

[brisk rose]

I mean... does it cot work with the c:[whatever] that you use for everything else?

[urban wasp]

card_eval, not loc

so, like, when a joker scores

[red flower]

you should do that inside both context.repetition and context.destroy_card because context.scoring_hand doesn't always exist

[wooden nexus]

Also I think i messed something up

I'm hiding what the actual seal is

[unkempt thicket]

It's a different version of draw step, Draw step is kind of an expanded version of that.

[wooden nexus]

ok. So how do i fix this then?

[red flower]

card instead of self

[wooden nexus]

Got it

Seal is still not shiny

[red flower]

idk if that check will work never used drawstep for seals

[urban wasp]

how in the world would i do that here

return {
    message = localize({
        type = "variable",
        key = "a_powmult",
        vars = {
            number_format(card.ability.extra.ee_mult),
        },
    }),
    ee_mult = card.ability.extra.ee_mult,
    colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION,
}

maybe i need to create a "key" that has my attributes?

i don't exactly know how to do that though

[gusty iron]

the thing is, when youre using the deck these cards will be in, you wont get any enhancements, and/or enhancement-allowing cards, just upgraders, and jokers.

but lemme see if i can do that

[brisk rose]

Then yeah just making it an enhancement and having the deck set up for it should be fine

[unkempt thicket]

The order matters, This is how gold seal does it

[wooden nexus]

alright, i'll try that

[undone maple]

oh, now destroy only happens when the non spade is a scoring card too

[brisk rose]

I'd look at how mods that reimolement xchips choose the color for it maybe?

[smoky token]

anyone able to tell me how to combine all my sprites into an atlas

[urban wasp]

i think xchips is handled by smods now

er

talisman?

something like that

[brisk rose]

Yes, but that wasn't always the case and some mods iirc still do it themselves

Or they did a couple months ago

[urban wasp]

could you give me an example?

[brisk rose]

Familiar

I think

[paper zealot]

That page is on the proper Steamodded wiki now, by the way. You can link to https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling instead

[regal ether]

is there a list of contexts documented anywhere i can look at?

things are probably named pretty intuitively but i just dont wanna guess

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

there are some undocumented ones however

[regal ether]

oh

[gusty iron]

last question, how do i set the starting cards in a deck?

[red flower]

then check full_hand instead of scoring_hand

oh wait no

check cardarea == 'unscored' alongside G.play

[brisk rose]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Back

Was gonna link this bit geeze the smods deck documentation is lacking

[urban wasp]

familiar doesn't affect the text of card_evals in xchips sadly...

[gusty iron]

yeah i already looked at that it does NOT help 😭

[brazen tusk]

Did you figure this out? I can show you what I have once I get my pc on

[urban wasp]

i don't think it's possible

[wooden nexus]

Welp i made it worse

Not only is my seal not shiny, I made gold unshiny

[unkempt thicket]

Did you use the same key?

[wooden nexus]

I used my previous one

should i have?

[unkempt thicket]

No, try 2 more than that order, so order 32

[undone maple]

im a bit lost right now

[gusty iron]

so any help with this, the documentation on SMODS.Back isn't helping

[undone maple]

how do i check both

[wooden nexus]

Okay I'm clearly breaking the game somehow

now every seal but mine is shiny

[red flower]

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

[rapid stag]

bump

[wooden nexus]

Just gonna show the grayscaled template seal i have

[scarlet spire]

oh

[brisk rose]

You're adding a shader to all seals but yours instead of yours?

[scarlet spire]

I know the issue

the shiny shader modulates itself based on the saturation of the base image

a greyscale seal is going to have a much less noticeable shine than something that's colorful

[unkempt thicket]

Your code should look similar to this, though i would use the key instead of the name of the seal

[brisk rose]

Possibly none of its actually fully grey

[unkempt thicket]

otherwise it's going though each seal again

[scarlet spire]

I think there's still something slightly there if it's fully gray, but barely

[brisk rose]

Also... that's a shitty shader. Makes silver a lot harder than it should be to pull off

[wooden nexus]

Just a side thing, sending the picture makes it difficult for me to put into the program y'know. lol

[undone maple]

most likely placed it at the wrong spot

[scarlet spire]

it makes sense, it pulls off a specific effect that was never intended for anything silver
for example, on the gold stake chip, it makes just the gold part shiny

on vouchers, the outlines and stuff not being as reflective retains artwork contrast even when the glare is right on top of it

it is a serious nightmare for my silver stake though, I still need to figure out a workaround for that

[red flower]

yeah remove that unscored part in repetition
also the full_hand thing i said was not correct for your effect i dont think

[scarlet spire]

because right now it's the Grey Stake

[wooden nexus]

I changed the color to test

but it shiny

[undone maple]

i mean it worked when:
higher rank was spade than non spade
spade was equal rank to non spade
but it didnt work when spade was higher rank than non spade

[wooden nexus]

Yeah I see what you mean now about lower saturation = harder to see shiny

[undone maple]

ill remove it anyways

[red flower]

oh and the check needs to be in parentheses like i wrote it or it won't work properly

[gusty iron]

...bump?

[undone maple]

works in all cases except when the spade doesnt score, but i guess i can settle on that

thank you for your help

[red flower]

oh then the full_hand thing was correct lol

[desert ore]

should I keep this phrased as is to keep in line with acrobat/dusk, or should I change it to "when 0 hands remaining" to make it a little more clear while still kind of being in line with mystic summit?

[iron haven]

How do I make a card retrigger?

really

[lethal stratus]

on the final hand of round, this joker gives 4 mult per hand played

[lethal stratus]

you need two or three things
If its a joker, context.retrigger and a retrigger value in local_vars

[late basin]

I've found this documentation helpful, alongside with the Steamodded example mod for Sock joker!https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua

[lethal stratus]

then a return in the calculate segment

[lethal stratus]

or that lol

or specifically
with 1 hand remaining, this joker gains mult equal to 4*Max hands

[desert ore]

I've thought about it, and idk if I really want it to be for every hand played. I'll think of that later, I was just wondering for the phrase "on final hand of round" vs something that could be more clear, but since the game uses this phrasing I think I'm completely fine with this

black deck doesn't need any more nerfs lol

[iron haven]

I see you can retrigger jokers but not playing cards. I'm foxed.

[desert ore]

no, you can retrigger playing cards

[lethal stratus]

it would just be a consequence of black stake

deck*

[iron haven]

how?

[lethal stratus]

Red seal for example

or hack

[late basin]

try the 2nd link and ctrl+F "sock_and_buskin2": this should show u how to retrigger cards! Just change the is_face() to what u want instead!

[desert ore]

^

[wooden nexus]

So I have a weird question: I want to do something like Cryptid where it duplicates the card, but i want it to remove the seal

Is that difficult?

[unkempt thicket]

Not really

[lethal stratus]

why specifically the seal?

[wooden nexus]

For reasons

[unkempt thicket]

Something like this should work: local card = copy_card(card, nil, nil, G.playing_card) card:set_seal(nil) card:add_to_deck() G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1 table.insert(G.playing_cards, card) G.hand:emplace(card) card.states.visible = nil G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ func = function() card:start_materialize() return true end, }))

btw how do you make it one solid code thing

[wooden nexus]

```

instead of `

[late basin]

I've got a problem in my code: I'm trying to make it so my joker gains X0.5 mult when a wild card is destroyed, and it works (kind of), but it doesn't register both cards when 2 wild cards are destroyed at once -- it just counts it as 1 card destroyed. Here's my code:

    
        if context.remove_playing_cards then 
            
            local wild_cards = 0
                for k, val in ipairs(context.removed) do
                    if val:is_suit() then wild_cards = wild_cards + 1 end
                
                end
                if wild_cards > 0 then
                    card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod
                    return {
                        message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                    }
                end
                
        elseif context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main and card.ability.extra.Xmult > 1 then
            return{
            
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult
            }
        end
    end```

[iron haven]

test

line 559

if context.other_card:get_id() == 9 then

[wooden nexus]

I just realized i never set it to check during scoring lol

Caused my game to overflow and almost crash my PC

okay it works now, thanks

[iron haven]

hmm

[iron haven]

uh

[red flower]

need more context (no pun intended)

[rustic swallow]

how do you make a joker do the shaking thing when its active

[red flower]

juice_card_until

[regal ether]

trying to make a seal that stops the card from being destroyed, then removes the seal, and i am making bullshit i think

[lethal stratus]

how do i write the calculate here

[sturdy compass]

What does that even entail 😭

[lethal stratus]

ignore my awful description

basically means beating the hand with a score higher than the requirement increments the joker by 0.5x

[regal ether]

🗣️🔥

[brisk rose]

All fire means is it scores more than the blind requirement

Which is how it's normally phrased

But I see the appeal focusing on the fire ngl

[lethal stratus]

focusing on the fire is cool, wording it is not 😭

[brisk rose]

Tbh it's the same bullshit I'd have come up with if so, lol

[regal ether]

mfw "table index is nil" ???

[iron haven]

?

[lethal stratus]

regardless, i dont know what check to do here

[iron haven]

oh code?

[brisk rose]

Oh yeah that's not ideal. Removing seals might be weird because nothing does it in the bese game

[iron haven]

@red flower need the code?

[regal ether]

OH

[regal ether]

you can just set seal to nil

[brisk rose]

Isn't that what you thought was bullshit? Idk I'm not a modder ngl. I probably shouldn't even run my mouth in this channel

I need to learn though

[regal ether]

well before i was using the function set_seal

now im just setting the seal variable directly lol

[brisk rose]

Ah makes sense

God I wish I kept some working coding knowledge since college

But on the plus side my miniscule python and c++ knowledge is now nuked, so can't interfere Wyeth learning lua

[karmic arch]

hand_chips * mult > G.GAME.blind.chips (copied from my code on edtions, so there may be some errors)

[peak obsidian]

how would i code a blind that checks for the most common suit in the deck and debuffs it

[iron haven]

I'm just waiting.

[brisk rose]

Find someone else that had the same idea and yoink their code :p

[tall wharf]

me when godot

[lethal stratus]

😭

[tall wharf]

G.GAME.current_round.current_hand.chips or something

[brisk rose]

Specifically Ceres had a pretty similar one

Closest I could find weirdly

Seemed like an obvious idea

[iron haven]

what if there is 2 of same amount of different suits?

[tall wharf]

i don't remember the exact argument but you can dig the game's code

[regal ether]

ok i feel like i'm fundamentally misunderstanding context.destroy_card because it's executing the code when i just play a hand with my seal

[lethal stratus]

can i see your seals code?

[regal ether]

that on the left is the seal's calculate

what more r u looking for

[rustic swallow]

does anyone know why this doesnt trigger the chips when those ranks are played

[manic rune]

remove card = self

[thorn ridge]

how do i take ownership of stuff from the vanilla game

[rugged pier]

guys

what context does blueprint/brainstorm run in

[high sinew]

blueprint_compat = true

[rugged pier]

that is to check if a joker is compatible or not right

i need to run a joker that acts like a blueprint/brainstorm

since the ability of other jokers could run in multiple contexts

what context would a joker like blueprint run in

[high sinew]

yea this means it will work with those jokers

you wanna make a joker that has brainstorm or blueprint effect?

they are diff

[rugged pier]

yeah

calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.setting_blind then
            local jokerList = {}
            for i,v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                if v.ability.name ~= 'TenSoon' and v.config.center.blueprint_compat then
                    jokerList[#jokerList + 1] = v
                end
            end
            if #jokerList > 0 then
                card.ability.extra.selectedJoker = pseudorandom_element(jokerList,pseudoseed('tensoon'))
            end
        end
        local other_joker = card.ability.extra.selectedJoker
        if other_joker then
            context.blueprint = (context.blueprint and (context.blueprint + 1)) or 1
            local copy_return = other_joker:calculate_joker(context)
            if copy_return then
                return other_joker:calculate_joker(context)
            end
        end
    end

i have this so far

but this throws a stackoverflow error since the joker is calculated infinite times

i need it to calculate once and use it in appropriate context

[high sinew]

what is the joker do exactly gotta know purpose of it

intention of this joker

[rugged pier]

copies a random joker at the start of a blind

its like BP/BS except its not positional

it copies at start of blind and remains constant till end of blind

[high sinew]

if v ~= card and v.ability and v.ability.name ~= 'TenSoon' and v.config and v.config.center and v.config.center.blueprint_compat then
table.insert(jokerList, v)
end

first issue i notice

use this

and for the Jokerlist > 0
card.ability.extra = card.ability.extra or {}
card.ability.extra.selectedJoker = pseudorandom_element(jokerList, pseudoseed('tensoon' .. G.GAME.round_resets.blind))
else
card.ability.extra = {}
end
end

[rugged pier]

whats this

[rugged pier]

where would i put this

[shrewd cobalt]

Can someone help me figure out why the foil isnt being scored here? this is in the before context

[rugged pier]

youre a legend

[high sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/but-im-not-a-sad-dog-im-a-happy-dog-mr-peanutbutter-paul-tompkins-bojack-horseman-always-happy-gif-16578331

[rugged pier]

i did something similar without an event

that would help since events take some time maybe

it worked for my scoring

if context.before and context.scoring_hand and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.flag = true
            transform_card(context.scoring_hand[1], 'm_csmr_heightened', card.ability.extra.edition)
            return {
                message = 'Awakened!',
                message_card = context.scoring_hand[1]
            }
        end

transform card has the following code

function transform_card(old_card, center, edition)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = "after",
        delay = 0.15,
        func = function()
            old_card:flip()
            return true
        end,
    }))
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = "after",
        delay = 0.15,
        func = function()
            if center then
                old_card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS[center])
            end
            if edition then
                old_card:set_edition(edition)
            end
            play_sound("card1")
            old_card:juice_up(0.3, 0.3)
            return true
        end,
    }))
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = "after",
        delay = 0.15,
        func = function()
            old_card:flip()
            return true
        end,
    }))
end

[gentle rain]

no itd be hugely appreciated!!!

[wise crown]

God I’m still so down bad for him

[rugged pier]

.. G.GAME.round_resets.blind)) what purpose does this serve?

[high sinew]

tracking blind index

[rugged pier]

it throws an error

but i removed it and it seems to work

the other issue im running into is

localization of the copied joker

it does the message on the original joker again

[high sinew]

oh it might be wrong way of doing but if it works without then shouldnt be nneeded

anyone see why this isnt being loaded in game? doesnt crash but isnt showing up for my collection

[rugged pier]

can you show your SMODS.ConsumableType?

[rugged pier]

whats local INSERT_SNACKS?

[high sinew]

the variable name

for my cards

[tall apex]

Snacks :3

[tall apex]

Well that’s pretty simple! What effect are you looking for?

[rugged pier]

This may be stupid but have you added the new one into that list

[tall apex]

It’s gonna be that silly little set ability argument :3

[daring fern]

Change G.P_CENTERS.m_wild to G.P_CENTERS.m_mult or others.

[sage crater]

kinda just all of them, but specifically I'm looking for polychrome

[sage crater]

is it basically just m_ followed by the name of the effect?

[rugged pier]

Polychrome is edition whereas mult is enhancement

[tall apex]

Polychrome would be set_edition instead in that case!

[rugged pier]

So it would be different for polychrome vs mult

[sage crater]

ah, that's right

[tall apex]

Rather than set ability

[sage crater]

thanks :]

[daring fern]

Yes. But only for enhancements.

[tall apex]

Mhm!

[tall apex]

.,,, is bubble gum a snack?

[high sinew]

yes

[tall apex]

… huh

[high sinew]

just name of the consumable

[tall apex]

I’ve never thought of gum like that

[high sinew]

lol its "close enough"

[tall apex]

Valid

I always thought of it for like stimming

Monch monch

[high sinew]

true

but i rthink it fits the theme of my pack for snack

[tall apex]

Valid :3

[high sinew]

got the issue too 😝

[rugged pier]

and your game doesnt crash on launch right? @high sinew

you just dont see it loaded in?

^bubblegum

[high sinew]

i got it 🙂

[rugged pier]

what was the issue?

[high sinew]

honey nut cheerioes about to go nuts

had = in SMODS.Consumable XD

[rugged pier]

ah lol

[high sinew]

yee honey nut makes spades golden

cause theyre delicious!

[sage crater]

couple more questions about the code in this screenshot:
(for context, I've coded in python, c#, and java. I know how to code for the most part, but I don't know the intricacies of lua yet)

• What does the local keyword before local loc_def do?
• what are the {wildonly = true} and {x=3,y=1}?
• I assume the SMODS.Deck:new{} is instantiating a new deck that this file is deciding to call Wild deck; is the second string "wildDeck" the ID of the deck or something?

thanks in advance

[stiff locust]

What does the local keyword before local loc_def do?
local variables are only accessible by your code

[rugged pier]

i thought local is a variable defined within that scope

[unborn bay]

local variables are only available in the scope you're in
