[lucid owl]

thanks!

[burnt cairn]

thank you for minding my denseness

[manic rune]

ive tortured people here with my genius brainfarts before, its fine lol

[quartz ravine]

Now this is weird!! the same GSLS shader which makes a cool 'snow' looking affect in GSL app results in an upwards falling snow when I implement it in game. No idea how I am flipping the time value

[brisk rose]

What is this site even,

Who the hell is mirroring smods updates but not doing it automstically?

[burnt cairn]

ok yeah the smods update fixes it 🫡 thanks

were functional

[broken rivet]

i also was trying to make glass cards not shatter earlier so i'm glad to see this in chat lol

[burnt cairn]

win

[broken rivet]

happylandeline my beloved

[red flower]

every time you type i think its someone i have blocked lol

[brisk rose]

You did not answer my question. What he hell even is that she eh aren't hot just using github?

[red flower]

because of your name

[hard needle]

?

[burnt cairn]

🐈

[broken rivet]

my name has led to so much tomfoolery in the past

especially from people typing "@invalid-user"

[manic rune]

is there a way to know the area a card is in just from the card itself, without needing to use for loop through all the cardareas manually?

[brisk rose]

Were my typos that hard to understand?

[daring fern]

card.area

[manic rune]

oh sick, thanks

[hard needle]

"She eh aren't hot" 😭

[azure stone]

How do I give myself a joker using debug plus?

[faint yacht]

Hold CTRL and press 3 when hovering over one in Collection.

[burnt cairn]

go to the collection, hover over a joker and hit 3

[manic rune]

collection, press 3 as you hover on a joker

[hard needle]

oh my god

[brisk rose]

Huh I just didn't recognize that one screen

[brisk rose]

The latest dev release button on the wiki should slso redirect too the same place as the green code button

For reference

[azure stone]

Thank you all

Also, how do you set a multiplier value?

[tall wharf]

look at that title holy shit

wrong image

a lot of patching later

[red flower]

🔥

is this broken

it might be too strong

[hushed field]

What are you working on N?

[azure stone]

Anyone able to point out what im doing wrong here? Im trying to make gold cards give 1.25X multi and it keeps showing up as nil

[compact linden]

im still lost at making a mod that just changes the playing cards picture, i want to use images ive already have downloaded, anything would help

[azure stone]

just playing cards?

[compact linden]

yes

[daring fern]

context.individual doesn't go over the jokers.

[red flower]

cardarea has to be G.hand, like I wrote before
and value has to be the value you want (card.ability.extra.Xmult)

[compact linden]

i asked earlier and the person who had linked a post didnt help really it just confused me more

[azure stone]

did the G.hand and conditions. ill try the value thing rq

tried to switch value, still nun so far

[red flower]

oh it shows up as nil in the description?

[azure stone]

yes, and in fuctionality

[red flower]

it's because loc_vars says mult instead of Xmult

[azure stone]

oh

[red flower]

this should solve the functionality part

[manic rune]

is this what i should do to make it so that negative jokers give one extra slot after a negative joker is sold?

[red flower]

there's an example here, idk how much it will help https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/DeckSkinTemplate

[red flower]

why do you do the substraction when it should always be 1

[manic rune]

i tried

but its creating permanent joker slots even though all the negative jokers are sold, for some reason

[red flower]

yeah thats what change_size does

[manic rune]

when negative cards are destroyed, they should reduce the area's size by card.edition.card_limit, right?

[compact linden]

thank you hopefully it does cause this is going to be my first time making a mod

[red flower]

they should but negatives are wonky

[manic rune]

+1 joker slot, somehow??

the math aint mathing 😭

[red flower]

thats without change_size?

[manic rune]

it still has the change_size code

[red flower]

i would try without it

[manic rune]

it doesnt update without :change_size

i tried earlier

[compact linden]

also what do you recommend to use when writing the code

[manic rune]

visual studio code

[compact linden]

thank you

[manic rune]

this is without change_size, after selling 3 negative jokers

[azure stone]

so it should look like this right, because i feel like im doing sum wrong?

[red flower]

looks ok to me :3

[red flower]

G.hand not G.jokers

[azure stone]

ohhhhhh

[manic rune]

like, WHAT

HOW DID IT END UP AT 6

😭

[frigid blaze]

Where is it located and how to create your own, does anyone know?

[manic rune]

#1349064230825103441

[azure stone]

It works, lets fucking go

tysm

[red flower]

wdym

[tall wharf]

chat

wrong colour but you get the point

[manic rune]

i

cant be this dumb

[red flower]

maybe the -1 is not removed

[manic rune]

yeah, but how

😭

[tall wharf]

ok fixed

[manic rune]

did it straight up ignore the first -1??

[frigid blaze]

I want to create my own effect and I wanted to learn from this example

[naive raptor]

is there a context for when xmult triggers? i think the wiki said something about if context.post_joker then but im not sure if that’s correct

[manic rune]

okay, so theory:

having only +1 joker slot somehow makes it so that the joker slots arent reduced by 1, somehow

[red flower]

oh you can look at it in the code for the game inside card.lua but I'd recommend going through the thread bepis linked you first

[tall wharf]

i love

knowing how to code

idk what is going on with my code either

i forgot font again

[red flower]

thats for editions
try context.post_trigger

[tall wharf]

n will this break anything

[red flower]

my heart

[tall wharf]

ok fixed the font for real

[red flower]

and localize "name_text" might be weird in tooltips and end of round dollars

[manic rune]

it works properly when you have less than 3 negative jokers??

wait

do i

need to use events?

[compact linden]

ok so i got visual studio code installed now what do i do next exactly

[manic rune]

it got worse

what the fuck

[crisp coral]

WHAT

[red flower]

you dont need to shout

[crisp coral]

my bad

what

[azure stone]

so at the moment this isnt crashing, but I accidently broke this and I dont know where to go from here

[red flower]

me but when driving

[azure stone]

\

[red flower]

dont do and

return { Xmult = value, xchips = value }

[manic rune]

this doesnt look right

[red flower]

oh wait i dont think Xchips works

[azure stone]

its all in the config, just seperate lines

[red flower]

yeah it doesnt work like that either

[azure stone]

ive seen some mods do it, so it might?

ah

[red flower]

no i mean Xchips literally

[red flower]

fixed

[manic rune]

okay, so

both jokers have +2 joker slots, if i sell one then joker slots decrease by 2, the other increases by 1 so that all adds up to -1 joker slot

why

[compact linden]

im still lost, where do i start on visual studio code

[naive raptor]

this will activate anytime a joker triggers though, i just want it to activate on xmult

[carmine burrow]

it's helpful to get some lua extension and then add the lovely dump and smods to your workspace so everything shows up in intellisense

that also lets you look up game code much faster

[compact linden]

ok

[red flower]

check context.other_ret

inside that context

[compact linden]

ok so ive gotten lua extension and how would i add the lovely dump and smods

[carmine burrow]

in the file menu there's an option to "add folder to workspace"

[naive raptor]

now it never triggers. did you mean check both contexts at once?

[carmine burrow]

or you can use ctrl-shift-p and type "add folder to workspace", peobably

[brisk rose]

Lmao it's true

[brisk rose]

How many jokers have misspelled keys? I know that's not the only one

[shell timber]

caino

[marble flint]

caino

[brisk rose]

Lol I know that one

[shell timber]

consumeables

[brisk rose]

Yeah that too

Is that it?

[shell timber]

ill have a look

[marble flint]

lemme look at the whole localization file rq

[shell timber]

"selzer"

"ring master" instead of showman, which is interesting

[brisk rose]

Though in his case wasn't his whole shit originally mispelled?

[shell timber]

heirophant instead of hierophant

[shell timber]

i think so(?)

[placid star]

@red flower in the next smods update will there be a better way to force draw cards to hand from deck?

[compact linden]

ive done what you said but when i did, a file popped up named balatro and when i opened it two more files had shown up, one named FileContentIndex anf the other v17

[marble flint]

when are we getting j_séance

[shell timber]

True...

[carmine burrow]

true...

[compact linden]

what do i do now

[maiden phoenix]

Do you know about G.FUNCS.draw_from_deck_to_hand() ?

[brisk rose]

What I don't get is why when it was discovered other things were misspelled with him thunk didn't do a find and replace

Or maybe be thought it was just his nameplate

[marble flint]

speed tag is tag_skip

[brisk rose]

Which I'm pretty sure did read caino at some point

[placid star]

yeah but I rly don't understand it and I couldn't get it to draw specific cards, ghat being said I have used it in the past to draw every card from deck

[compact linden]

@carmine burrow what do i do now, ive also gotten the un ziped files for both lovely and smods

[marble flint]

overstock is v_overstock_norm which is.... weird

[maiden phoenix]

You can always make a new func similar to it but make it draw specific cards, say from its parameter for example

[carmine burrow]

did you follow the instructions for getting steamodded running?

[compact linden]

yeah ive had gotten steammodded running, i have a few mods from nexus installed already

[marble flint]

All of the challenge names have a _1 at the end (there are no _2s or _0s)

[red flower]

in context.post_trigger, context.other_retr has the return of the other joker, so you need to check xmult there

[compact linden]

now what cause when i had done what you said earlier a file named balatro popped up and when i opened it two more files showed up

[red flower]

not as far as I know, you need to make that yourself

[carmine burrow]

if you're making a mod, here's the general idea:

1. try running modded balatro
2. make a folder in Mods for your own mod, add the config and some empty lua file
3. open your mod's folder in vscode, then add the lovely/dump folder and smods folder to the workspace

(both of which are also within Mods)

[compact linden]

ok

so i just tried running modded balatro but it crashed

[quick kraken]

Why doesn't the game let me have a $0 buy and sell value consumable?

I set cost = 0 in the code but ingame it showed up as costing and selling for $1

[compact linden]

ive made a folder and where do i get the config and the empty lua file

[primal terrace]

I code it in Notepad++ because I'm cool 😎

[carmine burrow]

the empty lua file you can just create -- there's a "new file" button in the vscode explorer and you name it something.lua

the config is a json file, you can find the format on the smods wiki

[compact linden]

ok

[compact linden]

is this right before i do anything else

[carmine burrow]

have you tried running steamodded? if it worked, where is your Mods folder?

if it didn't work, i think the mods folder is supposed to be in appdata

[compact linden]

ok

[compact linden]

like this, ive made a folder and i opened it and then i created the empty lua file

[carmine burrow]

so within the mods folder you have

• smods
• lovely
• your mod
  ?

you shouldn't have to have anything near the balatro exe open in vscode

you can check that your mod is configured correctly by typing some random gibberish in the main lua file and making sure that it crashes when you run lovely

(there are better ways of doing this)

[cursive sentinel]

I have this (took the code for diploplia on function Card:shatter() from jen's almanac and arrenged it to only apply on playing cards). Playing debuffed glass card that have been saved once in a previous blind, and that should be saved once again when debuffed shatter doesnt neither put them in discard pile no in hand; it keeps them in the middle on the screen, disabling consumeables use, boosters card selection and hand playing. Any idea?

local shattered = Card.shatter
function Card:shatter()
    if next(SMODS.find_card('j_sdr1_stamp')) and self.playing_card then
        if self.area then self.area:remove_card(self) end
        if not self.added_to_deck then self:add_to_deck() end
        local still_in_playingcard_table = false
        for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
            if v == self then
                still_in_playingcard_table = true
                break
            end
        end
        if not still_in_playingcard_table then
            G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
            table.insert(G.playing_cards, self)
        end
        local seals = {"Red", "Blue", "Gold", "Purple"}
        local random_seal = seals[math.random(#seals)]
        self:set_seal(random_seal)
        G.hand:emplace(self)
        return
    else
        local sha = shattered(self)
        return sha
    end
end

[compact linden]

in my mods folder its lovely, smods-main then my mod

it is in appdata, when ever i add a new mod i hold the windows key and R and i have %AppData%/Balatro/Mods selected

[brisk rose]

I mean the dump is the balatro exe unpacked, reformatted and injected tbh

[carmine burrow]

yeah that seems right

[compact linden]

do you want me to show a sceenshot of the screen when it crashes

[compact linden]

this is what shows when it says it crashed,

[turbid maple]

I have a thing that returns played cards to hand but idk if to deck requires something else

[carmine burrow]

memory allocation failed??

wow

i have no idea what that's about to be honest

[compact linden]

damn

[brisk rose]

Is your assets folder capital or lowercase a?

[turbid maple]

download more ram I suppose

[brisk rose]

Nah it's a problem with getting the asset

[compact linden]

i dont have an assets folder i was told to make an empty lua file and get the smods config

[turbid maple]

okay if you want to include images it needs to be in assets folder

[brisk rose]

That should be fine. What's in those? If you're not including images yet

[compact linden]

i was told to type gibberish so i did

[brisk rose]

Uh... send anyway

[brisk rose]

Accidentally turned off ping

[compact linden]

i dont even know where exactly to get the smods config i was told to look at the wiki but idk what to look for exactly

this is my first time trying to make a mod

[brisk rose]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata

[compact linden]

do i copy and past the first set of code in the empty lus file?

[brisk rose]

The code goes in the json

The lua file can stay empty

And you don't need the header that would go in the lua

[brisk rose]

For the metadata I mean

The lua is where your mod will go

[compact linden]

ok and where do i get the json

[brisk rose]

you make it? it's just a text file like a lua file

[compact linden]

ohh

[brisk rose]

the wiki page says what to put in it

[compact linden]

do i need the json extension?

or no?

cause i was told to get the lua extension, thats it

[split cairn]

does anyone know how to add debuff immunity to a joker's ability? i want to make a joker that makes Diamond cards immune to debuffs

[brisk rose]

I mean it's just a little metadata file

no need for it to really be open in vscode once you make it

[shut crater]

Look at how fluorescent works in Bunco

[brisk rose]

that applies to the playing card or joker its own itself though

there is a voucher in betmma's that makes wild cards immune to debuffs

so that may be helpful too

[vapid flume]

I tried to code in a challenge but it crashes whenever I click on it, any idea what I messed up?

[carmine burrow]

j_burglar

what's "thesun"

[vapid flume]

custom joker added by my mod

[carmine burrow]

in that case the key should be j_[prefix]_thesun

where prefix is the prefix you defined in the mod metadata

[vapid flume]

is the prefix just the mod id? or is it meant to be something else in the metadata cause its still crashing

oops not meant ot be the same image twice

[brisk rose]

it's a thing in the json you're supposed to define

[tall wharf]

it's mod prefix

[shut crater]

Yeah I just meant as a starting point. Any effect a card applies to itself it could apply to another card instead

[vapid flume]

my mod doesnt even have a json so thats probably my first problem @_@ all the settings for stuff is at the top of the lua file but i should know how to give it a json

[brisk rose]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata

it's explained here

and once you do you can erasethe header

[brisk rose]

yeah, fair

[broken rivet]

can't get the blueprint compat text to show up right here, i couldn't even find a G.FUNCS.blueprint_compat anywhere which is presumably being called

[hardy viper]

this happens when you haven't paid your taxes yet this year

[split cairn]

function Card:set_debuff(should_debuff)
    if #SMODS.find_card('j_jen_dandy') > 0 then
        return false
    elseif (((self.config or {}).center or {}).debuff_immune or (((self.config or {}).center or {}).rarity or 1) == 6) and should_debuff == true then
        card_status_text(self, 'Immune', nil, 0.05*self.T.h, G.C.RED, nil, 0.6, nil, nil, 'bm', 'cancel', 1, 0.9)
        return false
    else
        csdr(self, should_debuff)
    end
end```
would somehting like this work for debuff immunity? this is a snipped from Jen's Alamanc/Polterworx

[broken rivet]

wait i found the issue i think

[cursive sentinel]

bump

[modern kindle]

what if i havent for the last 6 years

[brisk rose]

isn't it just a bool on the other joker?

[broken rivet]

{n=G.UIT.C, config={ref_table = card, align = "m", colour = G.C.JOKER_GREY, r = 0.05, padding = 0.06, func = 'blueprint_compat'}, nodes={
the thing called here?

[brisk rose]

oh you mean the loc text I guess

fair my b

I was thinking you couldn't read the value not that you were looking how to display it

I can't read sometimes

[broken rivet]

yea i can't display it at all

[brisk rose]

I mean... couldn't you just use your own loc vars based on the value either being true or false in the joker definition?

there's a good chance I'm missing something of how this works

[hardy viper]

🔪

[broken rivet]

honestly same blueprint's code seems really hard to look into, some values seem to just not exist at all somehow

[modern kindle]

D:
but they said its non taxable..

[hardy viper]

your life is taxable

[tall wharf]

how do i file taxes

[vapid flume]

i think the old jokjer template i used is finally catching up to me but it was working just fine before i did the metadata

[broken rivet]

i found it
it's also why it wasn't displaying everything, it did stuff that's important for blueprint's display

[brisk rose]

Someone will need to explain to me why you can't just read the other joker's blueprint_compat value and change a loc var based on it, and be done with it

[broken rivet]

the other joker might not exist

[brisk rose]

thst just seems like another case for your loc_var though?

[broken rivet]

fair yea

[brisk rose]

@hushed field you're around and a competent modder, maybe you can help explain why it doesn't seem to be the way people do it

seems like the way I'd do it, but there's probably some reason it wouldn't work

[crisp coral]

vanilla does it that way is because of bp/bs chains

[brisk rose]

oh i see, so like... it passes through

yeah i forgor that

makes sense

[hushed field]

Hmm?

[carmine burrow]

what's the code within blueprint? like for making the compatible/incompatible box

i know vaguely how luchador's works since i've stolen it a few times

[crisp coral]

all in generate_card_ui iirc

[carmine burrow]

what's the code for making the box though?

[brisk rose]

nvm

[crisp coral]

actually it's card.generate_uibox something

idk im in bed

[carmine burrow]

could you screenshot the thing if it's easy to find? i don't currently have access to the game's source code

(phone)

[brisk rose]

keep an unzipped copy of the game's exe on your phone like i do :P

[carmine burrow]

whoops. sorry

[crisp coral]

reading code on mobile is inconvenient as hell anyway

[brisk rose]

i haven't found it too bad as long as i'm using a text editor with find

[modern kindle]

man youre using a text editor on mobile with find

thats too much effort for me

[carmine burrow]

vscode on mobile when

[crisp coral]

tru

[vapid flume]

is anyone able to help with this 🙏

[formal parrot]

Nah 🔥

[formal parrot]

Its spelled true

[frigid blaze]

Can you tell me what the problem is?

[brisk rose]

don't try to code like vanilla

[frigid blaze]

and then what do we do?

[brisk rose]

tbh I'm not exaclty sure, but I know I should be seeing more smods stuff and you should be testing by the key not the name

[red flower]

card instead of self

[tall wharf]

are you actually editing the game's code to add your joker...

good luck distributing that

ok i must have misread

[frigid blaze]

If you know how, tell me, and keep your sarcasm to yourself, smartass.

[primal robin]

[tall wharf]

what sarcasm?

ok so

you don't need self.ability.name

[frigid blaze]

In fact, I originally asked what's wrong with it. If I knew, I probably wouldn't have asked.

[obtuse quail]

can someone help me with making ui

[tall wharf]

what is the card supposed to do and what's not working

[frigid blaze]

I wanted to make a DNA joker, but with my own values.

[tall wharf]

you don't need to check if self ability.name is Ethan

What's the code for the entire joker

not just calculate function

[shut crater]

This page is a good place to start to understand some of what's going on (though admittedly it's a bit confusing)
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

This is another good starting place to show you practical examples
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua

[oblique pond]

crashing, not sure why
did i mess up context checks

[sonic cedar]

where would i store the total mult score value pre and post all addition triggers in terms of files? so i can track when to trigger an unlock

[quartz ravine]

If so this would not be the first time I saw it done!

[quartz ravine]

If you add a joker, the best way to do it is with steammodded, in those jokers the calculate block is already being processed so you don’t need to check the card name

The card name is how vanilla works but it’s not the right approach to follow for modding

I would recommend you take a peek at extra credit or neato jokers, both are mods that are super easy to understand and you can copy and paste them to have a quick and easy starter template for making a mod

[vale glen]

Is erplace a function

[frigid blaze]

That's exactly why I asked about it, I wanted to make a joker like DNA, no luck yet

[quartz ravine]

So you can remove the “if card name ==“ piece and after you fix the typo (erplace, probably should be emplace), you can give it a shot

[sonic cedar]

the unlock in question btw (i can probably do some if var1 - var2 >= 7 then unlock the card or whatever but i dont know if it would get called in the main file, and if it did what would i call it under

[primal robin]

Time for really scary thing: adding localization support

[gilded blaze]

you guys are using loc_txt?

what is that

[primal robin]

loc_txt? Dude, it's SMODS thing

[high sinew]

https://github.com/Mills-44/FusionCookbook/releases

Offical Release of 1.0.0 enjoy 🙂 lots more to come

[gilded blaze]

it's a sarcastic joke

I use localization entry all the time

it's a lot easier to manage

[vale glen]

Should prolly ask a question here, since Axy's been stuck on this for a bit

[primal robin]

Go ahead

[tall wharf]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta-0506a

yay

[primal robin]

Congratz with first contribution

[vale glen]

Among many other things, the Joker Axy wants to make wants to replace the cards in the next shop with either a negative Joker or a polychrome 2. SMOD's add_card function wants a key to specify a specific card, but after printing out each card's config table it seems like all base cards share the same key, c_base. Am not sure how to generate the right base card, nor how to add it to the shop with the appropriate buttons for the shop. Assuming it's related to the functions\button_callbacks.lua file, but haven't had a look at buttons yet.

[primal robin]

don't use pseudoseed with os.time(), it makes this ckeck inconsistent

[celest timber]

how do i get the level/value of chips and mult of a hand?

[vale glen]

Here's the list of things this mess of a card is going for. I'm using os.time() because the person who wanted this wants the same percent chance for each item in this list, but also wanted to reload the game and have it act differently, so I can't use seeds like with pseudorandom.

[tall wharf]

[vale glen]

And yes, this also means a lot of back and forth with the requester, refining the requirements since they didn't entirely think this Joker through.

[tall wharf]

-# legendaries aren't meant to be free wins 😭

[vale glen]

Aiko, your mod is an inspiration btw. Amazing coding with the wordle stuff

Axy's been kinda using this channel as a reference for things, with heavy use of Discord's search, and your mod was one of the things Axy read

And yeahhh... this mod is mostly so the people involved can see themselves in Balatro, and isn't balanced at all

[shell timber]

that joker is absolutely criminal with oops all 6s

[vale glen]

Yuuup

[primal robin]

Idk who are you but I love your mindset

[hard needle]

lmao xD

[vale glen]

...Axy should probably post the Github and our list of stuff, huh

Tony: Create a Negative Spectral if played hand contains an Edition and an Ace
Axy: [Handled by themselves.]

1 in 2 chance to replace all sound effects to "Travis scott falling off stage in london"

[shell timber]

Ado seems interesting

[tall wharf]

Ado?????????????????????????????????????

[shell timber]

how are you handling other languages

[vale glen]

Not sure which function will hook into description boxes

[tall wharf]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgXpM4l_MwI

[shell timber]

good luck

[tall wharf]

Ado

[hard needle]

is this supposed to be a vanilla+ mod btw

[shell timber]

i think you can obviously tell that they aren't meant to be

[tall wharf]

^mult

[vale glen]

Axy's mostly done with Nyala, Tony, Stick, Bread, Qui, and Fumi. Dunno how to handle Ascended hands with Nyala, or like... a way to simulate whether a planet would upgrade a hand, then add that to a dictionary to trigger if that hand is played and that planet is in the consumables list.

Been faking it with a manual list of key-value pairs, like so:

[shell timber]

you could look at Blue Seal

[vale glen]

But this obviously wouldn't work for any planet, which is bleh.

[primal robin]

To generate playing card use create_playing_card, proper buttons will be placed automatically according to card area

[daring heron]

how easy is it to modify the base game with a mod?

for example change the wheel of fortune's rates to 1/3 instead of 1/4

[shell timber]

take_ownership lets you modify vanilla objects

[primal robin]

Or, one patch

[daring heron]

hm?

[primal robin]

Use take_ownership and you'll be fine

[daring heron]

alright

how would i go abt changing the wheel of fortune rate?

[spiral crown]

anyone know how I can avoid this error?

[tall wharf]

check v.edition first

[daring heron]

how would i change the desciption for example?

of wheel of fortune*

[carmine burrow]

v.edition and v.edition.foil

you also don't need the "== true" because of how booleans work

[azure stone]

Is there a way to make a joker have a multiplier of chips?

[maiden phoenix]

xchips

[azure stone]

Yeah

Just trying to get that to function and having trouble

[daring heron]

but how do i edit the description of the wheel of fortune?

[red flower]

can i see how the code looks like now

[red flower]

use a localization file and use wheel of fortune's key

[carmine burrow]

localization/en-us.lua

[quartz ravine]

I saw a list on Reddit of must play mods and Joyous Spring was on it!

[red flower]

did it have cool edited images?

[azure stone]

SMODS.Joker{
name = "Midas Prime",
key = "Midas", -- this is the key that we will use to tell the localization what joker to add the text and name to
pos = {x = 0, y = 0}, -- this is the position of what sprite the joker will use, and this is the top left cornor of the sprite sheet
rarity = 4, -- this is what determines the rarity of the joker (1 = common, 2 = uncommon, 3 = rare, and 4 = Legendary)
atlas = "Lead", -- this is the key that determines what atlas the joker will use, this is the same as the key in the atlas function in main.lua
config = { extra = {Xmult = 1.25, {Xchips = 1.25} }, -- the config is used to make basic effects for our jokers
cost = 6, -- this is the cost of the joker in the shop, and its sell value is half of what the cost to buy is, so this joker would sell for 3 dollars
loc_vars = function (self, info_queue, center)
return { vars = { center.ability.extra.Xmult, center.ability.extra.Xchips } }
end,
calculate = function (self, card, context)
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and not context.end_of_round and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card,'m_gold') then
return {Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult, Xchips = card.ability.extra.Xchips}
end
end,
}
}

whoops

hol up

[spiral crown]

Figured the else would work instead but that fixed it thanks!

[red flower]

like i said, "Xchips" doesn't work for some reason
use "xchips"

[spiral crown]

thanks!

[red flower]

it should also be config = { extra = {Xmult = 1.25, Xchips = 1.25 } },

[wintry solar]

'x_chips', 'xchips', 'Xchip_mod', these are the valid xchips keys#

[azure stone]

Got it, thank you. I'ma try that rq

[daring heron]

like this?

[azure stone]

Sorry that I did not pay attention before, was extremely sidetracked with school work

[red flower]

yeah

[daring heron]

didnt work

should be 1 in 3

[azure stone]

heres what it looks like, still is crashing

[red flower]

you need to either hard code the 3 by doing #1# in 3 (without #)
or take_ownership of wheel of fortune and change the loc_vars

[daring heron]

how do i do that?

[red flower]

whats the crash

[azure stone]

Doesn't crash, but doesn't function at all

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation#taking-ownership

[azure stone]

KITTY

[vale glen]

Well... it's getting closer now. create_playing_card seems to make copies behind the current card.

It would be nice if Axy could like... read the decompiled code after all TOML patches and hooks are applied, instead of trying to divine what's happening or how functions execute code when all the mods are layered over each other. Not sure if that's possible using Steamodded/DebugPlus/Balamod, or some other tool.

[daring heron]

i love the kitty each time

keeps me fueled to keep goin

[vale glen]

kibty

[red flower]

does it give xmult at least

[azure stone]

Still no, it did work when I tried it with only the mult

[primal robin]

You can. Mods/lovely/dump contains code with all patches applied

If you need change base of created card, use Card:set_base

[azure stone]

WAIT NVM

[red flower]

did you forget to restart a run

[azure stone]

Had to reload the game and resummon the joker

[red flower]

yeah

[azure stone]

Yeah

[vale glen]

Time to have that open as a workspace instead of these other ones, perfect

[azure stone]

Did not know you had to do that

But hey, it works, I'm happy

[daring heron]

how do i find the key of stuff?

[red flower]

game.lua or the localization files

[daring heron]

so in this case would it be bl_wheel?

[red flower]

no thats the blind

[primal robin]

Check dm

[daring heron]

oh pft

c_wheel_of_fortune?

[red flower]

yeah

[daring heron]

okay and then how do i change the loc_vars

[red flower]

remove calculate and cost and add loc_vars

[daring heron]

and what do i do with loc_vars?

[red flower]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_foil
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_holo
        info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_polychrome
        return { vars = { G.GAME.probabilities.normal, 3 } }
    end,

something like that

[daring heron]

nice

[tranquil gull]

this is so cursed

[azure stone]

Okay this may sound a bit crazy, considering I did just get everything working because of your help specifically. Would there be a way to scale the multiplier?

[tranquil gull]

j_jimbotomy_house_of_cards = {
    name = "House of Cards",
    text = {
        "{X:mult,C:white} x#1# {} Mult,",
        "once per {C:attention}Ante{}"
    }
},

what context do i need to use in calculate to detect when a new ante is reached

[red flower]

how do you want to scale it

[azure stone]

I was thinking based off the money the player has

Like it would gain .1X for each 25

[turbid maple]

your loc_var thing is a function

you can do whatever in it

calculate the mult inside function and return the said calculated value in that table

[red flower]

hi void

[azure stone]

Okay, that makes some sense

[turbid maple]

hi mr n

[azure stone]

How would I check for money?

[red flower]

G.GAME.dollars

[turbid maple]

api call into the players bank account

[spiral crown]

not exactly the same but "if G.GAME.blind.boss then" will check for the boss of each ante

[onyx sonnet]

Hi N! How are you doing?

[azure stone]

So would I create a new line under loc_vars?

[red flower]

ok

[tranquil gull]

so would i like, do context.end_of_round with that?

[turbid maple]

something vaguely like this

loc_vars = function(whatever)
  local xmult = (thing that calculates mult based on money)
  return { vars = { xmult, card.ability.extra.othercrap } }
end

[azure stone]

Okay, I should be able to do that

[spiral crown]

sure you could add "and context.end_of_round" to it

[tawdry rain]

I did a mod just like that, but with just lovely, all I had to do was to change the extra, in the config property and the translation worked fine

payload = '''
        c_wheel_of_fortune= {order = 11,    discovered = false, cost = 3, consumeable = true, name = "The Wheel of Fortune", pos = {x=0,y=1}, set = "Tarot", effect = "Round Bonus", cost_mult = 1.0, config = {extra = 3}},
'''

[red flower]

i mean yeah

take_ownership is cleaner

[tawdry rain]

I agree, what I meant to say that it should only take modifying that field, config.extra, so translation is properly applied. That field is passed as a parameter to the UI

[daring heron]

how would i change the 8 ball rates?

[split cairn]

anyone know how to make jokers Unique like in Polterworx? I want it so that only 1 copy can exist at a time

[tawdry rain]

My general rule of thumb is to check how the game does it. I recommend you use VS Code if you're not using it already. In it you can use ctrl+shift+f to search for any text on the current open folder. Make the balatro source avaiable in this folder, alongside with your mod folder.
After you find how the game use it, you can alter the behavior with smods hooks or with patching

[onyx sonnet]

can someone tell me the parameters of create_playing_card? i dont know the stuff beyond front and center

[daring heron]

alrighty

[obtuse quail]

can someone help me with ui stuff

[onyx sonnet]

i think you need to be more specific for people to know if they can help you or not

[obtuse quail]

I want to make a button that appears in the bottom right when you start a run

I've tried a bunch of different ways but I don't know whats best

[daring heron]

i did look at the code of 8 ball and i honestly still dont know how

there isnt even a 4 in the code there

which i'd expect since it's a 1 in 4 chance

[onyx sonnet]

oh its cuz variables individual to jokers arent in their ability scripts

8ball has its own variable in its config called extra

which is the 4 you see in the description

and the one used to make a 1 in 4 chance

not sure where those are stored tho

[obtuse quail]

it would honestly be best if I could figure out how to make a uibox covering the whole screen and place the button in that box

[daring heron]

this?

[onyx sonnet]

yerp

[tawdry rain]

@daring heron, You actually found it. See the snippet (pseudorandom('8ball') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/self.ability.extra). This is the same case as wheel of fortune. Take ownership of the object, change the config.extra to the value you want

[onyx sonnet]

the Extra is the denominator for the odds

oh my bad

i havent messed with take_ownership much

[daring heron]

hm?

[tawdry rain]

Just a sec, I'm gonna show you

[daring heron]

alrighty

[tranquil gull]

config = {
        extra = {
            x_mult = 5,
            used = false
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                card.ability.extra.x_mult,
            },
            main_end = {
                {
                    n=G.UIT.C,

                                ref_table = self,
                                align = "m",
                                colour = G.C.JOKER_GREY,
                                r = 0.05,
                                padding = 0.06,
                                func = 'blueprint_compat'
                            }, nodes={
                                {
                                    n=G.UIT.T,
                                    config={
                                        ref_table = self.ability,
                                        ref_value = 'blueprint_compat_ui',
                                        colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT,
                                        scale = 0.32*0.8
                                    }
                                },
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    end,

how would i go abt making this be like an active/inactive thing
the code in there right now is just copied from blueprint

[tawdry rain]

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('wheel_of_fortune', -- key of the object
    { -- table of properties to change from the existing object
        config = {extra = 3}
    },
    false -- not silent | adds your mod badge to the object
)

This should do the trick for your first example, to change the wheel of fortune from 4 to 3 and apply proper translation. Likewise, you can do something very similar with 8 ball, since the chance is also in config.extra

[tranquil gull]

not sure how the func key works

[split cairn]

anyone know how to make it so that only 1 copy of a joker can exist? kind of like Unique jokers from Polterworx

[tranquil gull]

...check how they did it

[tawdry rain]

@daring heron If you want to take a deeper look: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation#taking-ownership

[daring heron]

yeah i saw that, but theres barely anything there

[brisk rose]

you kinda just take owenership and can then edit whichever values in the decelartion you want individually

[daring heron]

thats the problem i have no idea what values i can chance and how

[brisk rose]

it's like making a new joker, but you only define what you're changing

[weary haven]

ok @sturdy compass my crash

    key = "bighand",
        loc_txt = {
                name = 'Big Hand',
                text = { 'Play up to {C:attention}6{} cards a hand' }
        },
    atlas = "bighandsatlas",
    pos = { x = 4, y = 0 },
    redeem = function(self, card)
                --Change highlight limit
                G.GAME.modifiers.bighand_highlight_limit = 6
                G.GAME.pool_flags.bighandsreal = true

                -- Make new hands visible
                G.GAME.hands.bighands_three_pair.visible = true
                G.GAME.hands.bighands_flush_triad.visible = true
                G.GAME.hands.bighands_flush_six.visible = true
                G.GAME.hands.bighands_6oak.visible = true
    end
}```

[tawdry rain]

Yeah, but think in take_ownership when you need to modify something of the original object and don't want to meddle with patches. Notice that where you found the definition on the source code has a long list of objects and their properties? Well, smods provides an interface for that. Think about how you create a new object, such as a Joker, take_ownership has quite similar properties, those reflect the ones you see in this print.

[sturdy compass]

Where are you initializing your bighand_highlight_limit? I'm assuming line 35 in your code is where you're setting that to 6, and if so the reason it's crashing is because that variable doesn't exist

[weary haven]

thats in another .lua

line 35 seems to be
G.GAME.hands.bighands_three_pair.visible = true

[sturdy compass]

Ah ok that's something

I assume bighands is your mod prefix?

[weary haven]

yea

i was playing around w whether or not i needed that prefix

[sturdy compass]

you definitely do

[weary haven]

if i delete the prefix from all of them the crash moves to At Launch and to the 6oak

idk why the 6oak specifically

[daring heron]

is it possible to change this to just say "reworked" without making the mod name "reworked"?

i want the mod to still be called Balatro Reworked

[sturdy compass]

actually what are the keys for the handtypes?

[weary haven]

the keys dont have bighands_

SMODS.PokerHand {
    key = 'three_pair',```

for example

[wintry solar]

add display_name to your manifest

[sturdy compass]

fascinating

I'm surprised those are coming back as nil then

[weary haven]

ftr everythings in one .lua cause its pretty small

if that makes a difference

[brisk rose]

they have the prefix applied automatically

[weary haven]

yea i figured

[brisk rose]

every time you call them after the declaration you need it

[daring heron]

like here?

[sturdy compass]

It shouldn't

[weary haven]

wasnt sure if that was still the case if they were all in one file, so i tested removing them just to see what happened, then put them back

[wintry solar]

no, your json file where you put the name

[brisk rose]

speaking of this, I've noticed ooker hands not localizing a lot

the key likes to print instead

depending on the context

I don't know which mods or which objects

[daring heron]

oh, well i want the name to still be "balatro reworked" everywhere else, just only "reworked" on the cards

[brisk rose]

english langauge word context not the technical meaning

[zealous glen]

you change the display name in the json, not the name

[tall wharf]

astra

[sturdy compass]

Does removing the visibility changes at least run without crashing?

[tawdry rain]

Also note that in my original example I used SMODS.Joker:take_ownersip("wheel_of_fortune"), because I copy/pasted, however for wheel of fortune you should probably do SMODS.Tarot:take_ownersip("wheel_of_fortune"), since it's a tarot card and not a joker

[daring heron]

yeah

[weary haven]

iiiiii will test that actually

[sturdy compass]

If it does you should still be able to play the hands. Try playing one of them cuz I wanna know if it has something to do with the handtypes themselves

[weary haven]

yea

inchresting

[tall wharf]

full house

[weary haven]

i was able to buy it

will report back in a min

ack it doesnt let me select 6 cards 😔

[turbid maple]

why did you add a yee joker.

[sturdy compass]

What do your patches for hand size look like?

If you don't have any patches for it I can provide one for ya

[quick kraken]

Is the Perkeo example from the smods example mod outdated?

[daring fern]

No, it would be SMODS.Consumable

[weary haven]

i think its pretty much exactly your one honestly

[quick kraken]

I got this crash

[weary haven]

i wonder if i didnt Load it properly

[spiral crown]

I cannot for the life of me figure out why this joker isn't scaling, anyone know why?

[tawdry rain]

I usually have problems with double quotes and multiline, most likely a skill issue, however I recommend to use triple single quotes instead

[polar tulip]

I'll take a look at this. I feel dumb for asking but where can you use the command apply?

[turbid maple]

not nil evaluates to true
you are checking if v.edition == true which it probably isnt

[tawdry rain]

Oh nvm, the new line was from discord formatting

[turbid maple]

try v.edition ~= nil

[spiral crown]

there is a single card in the deck of each edition minus negative

[polar tulip]

This

[sturdy compass]

I think I know the problem for this part. Since my method is done with a deck, it changes the highlight_limit for the card area before it's created. In your case I think you could forgo the global variable and change G.hand.config.highlight_limit = 6 in your apply instead

[sturdy compass]

Meant to reply to this lol

[weary haven]

ah sick ty

[sturdy compass]

You do still need the second patch though

[weary haven]

do i still need the patch at- ahh

[turbid maple]

I dont understand

[weary haven]

should i delete that first patch then

[sturdy compass]

Yeah you don't need that anymore

[turbid maple]

I'm saying you are checking if the v.edition is the boolean value true
you probably want to check whether v.edition is nil or not
two different things

[spiral crown]

I think I am the one who was confused gimme a sec to try the fix

[weary haven]

ig so if im not using it

yea

[sturdy compass]

The second patch is so the play button doesn't prevent you from playing more than 5 cards (because vanilla accounts for that for some reason lol)

[turbid maple]

v.edition == not nil does not chrck if v.edition exists
it checks if the v.edition value is equal to true

[weary haven]

ah lol

[tawdry rain]

I mean, wouldn't just if v.edition then -- not nil do it?

[weary haven]

so wait am i doing This in the patch or in my voucher code

[sturdy compass]

voucher code. Replace where you're changing your global variable with what I just provided

[brisk rose]

i mean... isn't tjat what if v.edition also does? idk how to check if bools exist

[weary haven]

ok sick i thought so

[sturdy compass]

👌

[brisk rose]

I think a false bool and a nonexistant bool might be the same in lua, lol

[turbid maple]

v.edition isntn a boolean im sure

[sturdy compass]

One step at a time lmao

[brisk rose]

I mean if something is equal to either true or not then isn't it a bool?

[turbid maple]

unless it is somehow a boolean then i dont know

a table is not equal to true

a table exists

[brisk rose]

I just was going off what you said

[turbid maple]

two differenet things

[brisk rose]

ok i see

that makes sense ofc

I just assumed because not being nil was being equal to true that it'd be a bool. idk the codebase

sorry

[turbid maple]

I dunno lua specifics I assumed truthy things would be equal to true but turns out no

[brisk rose]

then yeah if v.edition might be the way

[weary haven]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[onyx sonnet]

if something exists it tends to be regarded as true, unless its 0 or false or nil or empty, in which case it tends to be false

[weary haven]

still cant seem to select 6 cards

[onyx sonnet]

this happens in other languages too

[sturdy compass]

Inch resting

[brisk rose]

yeah i guess that makes sense

so 0 false nil and empty will be hard to seperate from nonexistent

[sturdy compass]

Imma try to make a version of the voucher on my end to see what the issue may be

[unborn bay]

you shouldn't really be directly comparing to true anyway

[brisk rose]

well isn't is if x == true basically a synonym of if x in a lot of cases?

the latter i see a lot

[turbid maple]

no not really

== true would explicitly check if its a boolean true

if x would just check if thing is truthy enough

[sturdy compass]

Oh my god it's G.hand.config.highlighted_limit not G.hand.config.highlight_limit

that 'ed' just killed my soul

[weary haven]

oh lmaooo

ty tho

[sturdy compass]

truthy/falsy values is a wacky concept but I lowkey love it lol

[weary haven]

6 cards selected!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sturdy compass]

Huuuge

[onyx sonnet]

im trying to make a joker that extracts various attributes from two playing cards to make a new one, but im having some weird results which shouldnt be happening and i cant tell why they are happening, im also getting some ghost cards of sorts in my hand/deck after the fact

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "splicer",
    config = { extra = { complete = false } },
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true, 
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    rarity = 2,
    atlas = "SnazzyJokers",
    pos = { x = 4, y = 3 },
    cost = 6,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)

        if context.before and #context.full_hand == 2 and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 and not card.ability.extra.complete then
            local card1 = context.full_hand[1]
            local card2 = context.full_hand[2]
            local newrank = card1.base.id
            if newrank == 11 then newrank = "J" end
            if newrank == 12 then newrank = "Q" end
            if newrank == 13 then newrank = "K" end
            
            local newsuit = card2.base.suit[1]
            local newcard = create_playing_card({front = G.P_CARDS[card2.base.suit..'_'..newrank], center = card1.config.center}, G.hand, nil, false, {G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Spectral})
            newcard:set_edition(card2.base.edition, true)
            card.ability.extra.complete = not card.ability.extra.complete
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    G.hand:emplace(newcard)
                    return true
                end
            })) 
        end

        if context.destroying_card and card.ability.extra.complete and context.cardarea == G.play then
            for k, v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
                v:start_dissolve()
            end
            card.ability.extra.complete = not card.ability.extra.complete
        end

    end
}```

oh dear that script is huger than i thought

[onyx sonnet]

its very funny

[shut crater]

I hate it so much

[weary haven]

[brisk rose]

apperently not in lua though

[weary haven]

reeeeal

[sturdy compass]

Ok so the hand types DO work

Very very weird that you can't touch the visibility

[weary haven]

i still cant click play but

[onyx sonnet]

im pretty sure empty tables are considered false...

could be wrong tho

[weary haven]

it identifies it at least

[sturdy compass]

That's what the second patch should be fixing... hmm

[brisk rose]

yeah i just googled bools in lua, this is an official manual I think

[weary haven]

not sure if im loading the patch tbh

its the only thing in a seperate file

[sturdy compass]

Do you have a lovely folder that it's in?

[weary haven]

yea

[onyx sonnet]

oh nevermind i just double checked

elements of an empty table are considered false

[weary haven]

i may literally not be calling it tho idk if theres a way im sposed to

[onyx sonnet]

given that its empty

[sturdy compass]

I wonder if you have a different lovely master file (outside of the folder) that might take priority

[onyx sonnet]

the table itself comes as true because it exists

[unborn bay]

yeah this is why people use next(table) to see if it actually has an element

or just table[1] if its a general array

[vale glen]

if v.edition then
  if v.edition.polychrome then
    ColXmult = ColXmult + 1
    card.ability.extra.Xmult = ColXmult * card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod
   elseif v.edition.foil then
    Colchips = Colchips + 1
    card.ability.extra.chips = Colchips * card.ability.extra.chip_gain
   elseif v.edition.holo then
    Colmult = Colmult + 1
    card.ability.extra.mult = Colmult * card.ability.extra.mult_gain
  end
...
return{
  xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
  chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
  mult = card.ability.extra.mult
}

This snippet might help a bit?

[onyx sonnet]

bump

[unborn bay]

uhhh try calling card:start_materialize() on the new card

[brisk rose]

yeah @turbid maple according to this dude on stack overflow, it really is true if it exists unless it's set to false

[unborn bay]

i think thats what it was called

[onyx sonnet]

in the event? or just in general

[weary haven]

oh im a fucken

idiote

[unborn bay]

in the event

[sturdy compass]

😭

[weary haven]

its not a .toml

[shut crater]

the order of things happening in the evaluate_play function is very particular and finnicky, let me look back and see how I dealt with this issue when I was writing one of my jokers

[sturdy compass]

BRUH lmao

[onyx sonnet]

👍

[weary haven]

its dumb but at least i solved it myself

rather than getting the point of someone else needing to look at my whole shit lmao

[tawdry rain]

Lua is very goated for this. Hate the tricks you have to do when you have 0 as truthy value in other languages, which is quite common

[sturdy compass]

Like I said earlier, one step at a time lmfaooooo

[weary haven]

ye

still a ways to go to getting it working

theres a whole second voucher i have to figure out at some point

[spiral crown]

not sure why but "if v.edition then" breaks the joker so it doesn't score and now after changing back and forth between the different versions (back to if v.edition == not nil) only the chips are scaling

[shut crater]

here's the effect where I remove cards from the played hand: #💻・modding-dev message

and here's the relevant section in my calculate function

if not context.blueprint and context.before and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
    local override = false
    if pseudorandom("Frog") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds or override then
        local unscored_cards = {}
        for i=1, #context.full_hand do
            if not tableContains(context.scoring_hand, context.full_hand[i]) then
                unscored_cards[i] = context.full_hand[i]
            end
        end
        if next(unscored_cards) then
            local v, k = pseudorandom_element(unscored_cards, pseudoseed("Frog"))

            local _card = copy_card(v, nil, nil, G.playing_card)
            v.can_calculate = function () return false end
            v.states.visible = false
            v.destroyed = true

            _card.states.pos_freeze = true
            card.ability.extra.cardarea:emplace(_card)

            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    _card.states.pos_freeze = nil
                    v:remove()
                    return true
                end
            }))
            card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, { message = "Ribbit", colour = G.C.green })
        end
    end
end

[sturdy compass]

You're more than welcome to ask if you need help with any of it

[weary haven]

i may do, ty!

[sturdy compass]

Of course of course

[vale glen]

Did you change the lower return{...} statement as well? Doesn't look like it from your screenshot.

[quick kraken]

Can anyone help me with this crash? I made a Perkeo-like joker that copies a consumable at end of shop and I would like to know why it causes an event manager crash

[daring fern]

Code?

[quick kraken]

            G.E_MANAGER.add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    if #G.consumeables.cards < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then
                        -- consumable type check from AstralightSky
                        local skills = {}
                        for i = 1, #G.consumeables.cards do
                            if G.consumeables.cards[i]:gc().set == "TestSkill" then
                                skills[#skills + 1] = G.consumeables.cards[i]
                            end
                        end
                        if #skills > 0 then
                            local card = copy_card(pseudorandom_element(skills, pseudoseed("thefox")),nil)
                            card:add_to_deck()
                            G.consumeables:emplace(card)
                        end
                    end
                    return true
                end
            }))
            card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, { message = localize('k_duplicated_ex') })
        end```

mostly the same as the steamodded example for Perkeo, or the Perkeo code in card.lua

[spiral crown]

are you referring to "Xmult" vs "xmult"

[quick kraken]

The crash log doesn't suggest anything wrong with anything other than the event related part of this

[onyx sonnet]

that is such a cool joker but i think thats pretty distant from what im doing

[quick kraken]

Normal Perkeo works fine so I doubt it's my game files being fucked

[vale glen]

Yes, variable names are case-sensitive. Make sure the left side of the equals sign matches the return keys specified in step 3 of Creating a Calculate Function exactly.

kibty :o

[shut crater]

you're doing things to cards during hand calculation and getting ghost cards, right? I was running into those same issues when I was developing that effect because of how/when the evaluate_play function does things like move cards around

[onyx sonnet]

i see

[unborn bay]

G.E_MANAGER:add_event not G.E_MANAGER.add_event

lmao

[quick kraken]

How

the

fuck

I wanna scream

Well thanks at least

[shut crater]

specifically I was running into an issue where the card would get pulled back into the deck with the rest of the scored hand even though I had emplaced it in the custom cardarea

[unborn bay]

note that using : on a table function skips the self parameter needing to be specified which is usually the event manager itself

[weary haven]

confirmed big straights and big flushes work as intended

i still gotta rename them somehow

3 pair works as intended

[unborn bay]

so G.E_MANAGER.add_event(G.E_MANAGER) is equivalent to G.E_MANAGER:add_event()

[quick kraken]

I have been told that

[spiral crown]

I'm fairly certain as long as you have it as "Xmult" in your config then thats what it should be elsewhere, I have the Xmult in other jokers and that works fine, though to be sure I dide test "xmult" and had the same issues

[sturdy compass]

Yeah now I'm really confused as to why the visibility sets aren't working

[weary haven]

Fuller House Just Works

4:2 split fuller house just reads as 4oak which is fine cause that scores higher anyway

[gusty iron]

🤨 fuller house you say?

[weary haven]

yea my fuller house doesnt bother being a distinct hand

[gusty iron]

i just made it give more than a 4oak, as adding another pair felt more distinct imo

[weary haven]

arguably 4:2 has some benefit but idk it seems not worth scoring any differently to 4oak

[sturdy compass]

Imagine calling your hand a Fuller House
this post was made by House Party gang

[weary haven]

heh

[sturdy compass]

[gusty iron]

we are going to ^7 mult you

[shut crater]

petition to call a 3:3 split fuller house a two of a three of a kind

[weary haven]

i joked abt calling flush six "clogged bog"

its a six flusher

[gusty iron]

I called it a "Two Three"

[sturdy compass]

That's called a Double Triple in Maximus

[shut crater]

that's a much more reasonable name

nevertheless I like the insanity of the other

[weary haven]

double triple is good

[brisk rose]

it is strange though that a boolean set to false can't be checked for existence like any other variable usually can

[weary haven]

i want 3:3 to just be a rename

it scores as full house just fine

[brisk rose]

like I'm sure there's just another way

[gusty iron]

i dont have anything for Flushes with six and straights with six

[brisk rose]

even just using if type(x)

[gusty iron]

theyre just normal flushes and straights

[weary haven]

yea im letting those score as normal

[brisk rose]

which would actually only return anything if the variable exists

[weary haven]

i wanna acknowledge all the 6-card hands with names

but big flush and big straight dont need planets

they Just Work

[sturdy compass]

Oh did you base 'em off of Flush's levelling?

[brisk rose]

and always do so if it does

[weary haven]

big flush is just a flush

[sturdy compass]

Lmao

[weary haven]

you can just score Another Card in your flush

[gusty iron]

which causes some cool combos like this:

[brisk rose]

err it returns nil if it doesn't

lmao

so yeah lua can be weird

[weary haven]

no need for anything special, if you already levelled flush a ton theres no point making it score as a new hand

would make it a waste

[red flower]

i got up to credit card, i will continue this whenever im bored but if anyone wants to help it would be appreciated 🙂 https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua

[gusty iron]

is this cursed or blursed

[weary haven]

its like 4 fingers

so i think its blessed

its one of those things where it Just Works ykno

[gusty iron]

im also working on adding the scrapped demo decks

[vale glen]

Could you try ```Lua
SMODS.calculate_effect({Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult}, card)
SMODS.calculate_effect({mult = card.ability.extra.mult}, card)
return{
chips = card.ability.extra.chips
}

[weary haven]

idk how to rename hands without changing their scoring, like royal flush does

but as soon as i do

[gusty iron]

check how the game does it

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.PokerHand#api-methods

[gusty iron]

would this be a good unlock for braided deck

[brisk rose]

here;s the actual unlock: hover,, press 2 key

:P

[gusty iron]

i tried that it didnt work sob emoji

anyways how would i check the amount of times a hand has been played outside of the game?

like via profile

[weary haven]

yea but do i gotta re-make the hand for that

[gusty iron]

also i made a joker that tetrates your mult to 2 :)

[red flower]

you can take ownership

[gusty iron]

i call it the "naneinf" generator

[weary haven]

does take ownership replace the whole hand tho or just the part i change

[red flower]

just the part you change

[weary haven]

epic

ty

[spiral crown]

same outcome, only the chips scale

[vale glen]

Strange...

[gusty iron]

literally anything over 143 mult goes to naneinf

[spiral crown]

though it does change the order of the applied affects which is something new I just learned

[gusty iron]

(143^143) > 1.79e308

[gusty iron]

so does anybody have any idea on how i'd do this

[vale glen]

What's in your G.playing_cards? Is it only foil cards, or are there other card editions in there?

[spiral crown]

1 foil, 1 poly, and 1 holo

[sonic cedar]

anyone know how i can fix this?

trying to patch for an unlock

[sturdy compass]

It's probably a target error

[spiral crown]

reading from left to right top to bottom (as one would read a book) the first card is foil so maybe after find the first card with an edition it ends the loop?

[sturdy compass]

functions/state_events.lua

[sonic cedar]

ohhhh

fixing

[vale glen]

It'd be easier if we could screenshare and debug that way, if you're willing to do so. Axy will also recreate the code on their end and test it in-game, to see if we can make functioning code.

[split cairn]

anyone know how to make it so that only 1 copy of a joker can exist? kind of like Unique jokers from Polterworx. I’ve tried reading Polterworx’s code but I don’t understand this specific part

[spiral crown]

I'm cool with that, is there a special VC for that?

[daring fern]

Put a check in add to deck checking if it already exists then removing it?

[vale glen]

No idea! Axy is fine with DMs, if you're okay with that.

[split cairn]

i have no idea on how to do that

[sturdy compass]

Oh wait you don't have a pattern 😭

[sonic cedar]

wh

what do you mean i dnot

[daring fern]

In add to deck ```lua
if next(SMODS.find_card(“key”)) then
card:start_dissolve()
end

[sonic cedar]

I DONT

[sturdy compass]

Where it at

[sonic cedar]

GDI

😭

[sturdy compass]

LMFAO

[sonic cedar]

ok there

[split cairn]

would i add this inside my joker's code or where? i don't think I have a specific "add to deck"

[weary haven]

god im so Not Programming Brained idk how to use this modify_display_text function

[sonic cedar]

sigh

[sturdy compass]

brugh

[daring fern]

Look here for add_to_deck: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Joker

[sonic cedar]

does it not like the unlock type??

[sturdy compass]

Atp I'm stuck too. Do you have the Even Better TOML extension? That might help with debugging

[sonic cedar]

considering this is my first time patching myself uhhh probably not let me check

[zealous glen]

Dang

An'other N' ban'ger

[sonic cedar]

well alright then

[sturdy compass]

LMAO

[sonic cedar]

oh do i

literally have to press enter

what do you WANT from me

oh my god those are quotationmarks

[sturdy compass]

LMFAO

God I hate when that happens

[weary haven]

damn astra i went to maximus to see how you did the straight flush cause i figured youd have put a royal flush in there

[sonic cedar]

im so mad

[weary haven]

but your straight flush is a 4 and a pair?

[red flower]

can you copy the patch here, the font makes it hard to see some things

[weary haven]

or is that just outdated text

[sturdy compass]

I think I had flush party and super straight flush swapped at one point 😭

[sonic cedar]

it's like you knew it was gonna crash again

sending

[weary haven]

oh you did indeed

[sturdy compass]

1.0 fixes it I prommy

no royal flush tho so i cant yoink however you used display text

[sonic cedar]

road to 1.0 is so real

[sturdy compass]

Yeah nope, all the 6-card hands are their own hands lol

[weary haven]

yea but u can name 6-card royal flush to be super royal flush

[sturdy compass]

Oh tru

I didn't even think of that

[weary haven]

lol

[red flower]

[patches.pattern]
match_indent = true

[weary haven]

thats what im tryna do w all my variant hands rn but i cant figure out how to use modify_display_text

[tranquil gull]

okay so i'm trying to detect, directly after scoring, whether the blind was cleared, in a joker's calculate
what context would i need for that

[weary haven]

cause i am Not a Luahead

[sturdy compass]

Welp time to figure that out modify_hand_text with ya then lol

[zealous glen]

🌜
🧍

[weary haven]

modify_display_text(self, cards, scoring_hand) -> string?

[zealous glen]

The Luahead

[carmine burrow]

does m6x11 function as a code font ??

[sonic cedar]

i forgot times too...

[sonic cedar]

no <3

[brisk rose]

I mean there's a monospace version iirc

[gusty iron]

if not G.STATE == G.STATES.GAME_OVER then
--- code
end

[weary haven]

so im like i can just take ownership of full house, evaluate if its actually a double triple

[tranquil gull]

no like

[brisk rose]

though monospace only really matters for readability or python, lol

[weary haven]

but then how do i make that fire modify_display_text(self, cards, scoring_hand) and how do i actually write in what i want that to be

[tranquil gull]

Self-destructs if blind is not cleared in one hand

[gusty iron]

ohhh

[tranquil gull]

this is the effect i'm trying to get working

[gusty iron]

i think it would be G.STATE_COMPLETE??

[tranquil gull]

problem is, i tried if context.after and context.cardarea == G.jokers then but G.GAME.chips wasn't set yet

[sonic cedar]

@red flower

[red flower]

one set of [] in pattern

only

[gusty iron]

:)

[sonic cedar]

ohhh

[tranquil gull]

so i couldn't check if the chips was higher than needed

[weary haven]

ahh but how do i make that conditional on the actual evaluated hand

[zealous glen]

hmmm

[faint yacht]

What about upgrading the level ups themselves?

[red flower]

check scoring_hand

[gusty iron]

what about HOLY SHIT

[sonic cedar]

DUUUUUUDE

[faint yacht]

Careful, you're going to end up not PU aligned that way.

[tranquil gull]

so like

[gusty iron]

oh yeah this too i guess

[tranquil gull]

how do i check this when i need to check it

[weary haven]

would scoring_hand be the evaluation?

[brisk rose]

is this lobcorp crossmod?

[faint yacht]

context.scoring_hand contains the scoring cards.

[weary haven]

im getting my head arnd how to do these things individually but passing them to each other is such a nightmare to understand as a non-luahead

[brisk rose]

it looks so much like the names of their jokers to me

[red flower]

scoring_hand is a list of cards in the scored hand

dont use context in that

[gusty iron]

its my friend on roblos

theyre a huge lobcorp fan tho

[brisk rose]

yeah they have an anomoly type name

i think

idk anything about lobcorp

[zealous glen]

"per-level"?

[sonic cedar]

tysmmmmm 🙏
do you mind if i ask a different patch related question
maybe i can kill three birds

[sturdy compass]

Well I figured that out fast

[red flower]

go ahead

[zealous glen]

It's character.name == "Maggy"!

[weary haven]

oh shid

[weary haven]

show 👀

[faint yacht]

The values on planet cards.

[tranquil gull]

hm.

then how would i get the score?

[sturdy compass]

I basically took the royal check and tacked a 9 onto it

[weary haven]

lol

[sturdy compass]

the key being returned is the localization key

[weary haven]

ahhhh

[red flower]

wasnt directed to you sorry

[weary haven]

since im taking ownership, if i dont return anything will it leave it as it was?

[gusty iron]

can someone remind me how level_up_hand() works

[sturdy compass]

I'm honestly not sure but I'd return the base one just for safety

[zealous glen]

Didn't help me

[red flower]

not normally but for modify_display_text in particular yes

[sonic cedar]

for some reason these others i have* dont work, and it's causing errors with ijiraq (you remember ijiraq right? transformy event guy?)

[weary haven]

phew

[sonic cedar]

GAH it came out huge

[zealous glen]

why is there a hyphen

[red flower]

do these crash or do they just not work

[sonic cedar]

just dont work

[red flower]

dont know then, i would have to test it but i dont have your code :p

[sonic cedar]

darnnnnn

[frigid blaze]

Can someone help with writing the DNA joker?

[sonic cedar]

i mean its pseudo-public but i dont wanna ask you all that 😭

[faint yacht]

It is of a random poker hand each time... you'd have to really work that card out.

[willow plinth]

can someone help me find where this is actually crashing? i'm commenting out lines over lines of all sorts of mods and it's still just that

[red flower]

sadly, im off to play The Hundred Line: LAST DEFENCE ACADEMY(tm)

[sonic cedar]

ive been thinking about starting it

[modern kindle]

go play donkey kong

[red flower]

i already did, played every single NES game from A to L

[brisk rose]

fine the line in the dump and search your mods folder for it?

well... that will only rarely work

but it's worth a shot

[willow plinth]

yeah that's the problem, the line numbers are fucking wrong 😭

[sonic cedar]

zonkey kong

[brisk rose]

because it's the thing setting it you want, not the thing indexing it

[brisk rose]

and you're looking at the most recent dumps?

that's weird

[brisk rose]

in a lot of cases

[willow plinth]

yes...atp i'd be happy with the location of it indexing it, just to debug print SOMETHING there but yeah

[brisk rose]

wonder if how you manually compiled lovely fucked something

in the error handler

or the dump routine

[willow plinth]

yeah maybe, but then again this is the first case of such

other issues i was able to find the lines easily

[zealous glen]

hello dilly

how are you dillying

[modern kindle]

hello victin of victin international

im doing my best, hope you are well

[gusty iron]

    apply = function(self)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
             local hand = pseudorandom_element(G.GAME.hands, pseudoseed('YUH'))
        level_up_hand(self, hand, true, 3)
                return true
            end
        }))
    end

[zealous glen]
