Your consumable needs to have a set for if it's a Tarot/Planet/Spectral

[onyx sonnet]

im talking to Blackbox

[dull sage]

I did yeah, I always reload if I make a change to the mod file

[onyx sonnet]

yeah not really sure what is wrong here, deck calc is outside my area of expertise

[dull sage]

Let me try something

[daring heron]

mustve missed that, how do i do it again?

might got it

awesome

i did got it

[dull sage]

Guess who's an idiot? This guy

I was applying the wrong seal

[daring heron]

well it works but i cant use it

[onyx sonnet]

90% of development time is spent on stupid mistakes, its fine

does it work now?

[daring heron]

oh and how do i make it so it only adds one if you have room

[dull sage]

Yeah I see my print message we gucci

[onyx sonnet]

Check if there are free joker slots

[dull sage]

"Huh I wonder why I don't see my message"
The Intersex seal I applied to my card: he doesn't know

[daring heron]

fair

but i still cant use it 😔

[quartz ravine]

yessss, finally!

[daring heron]

oh that looks very nice

i have absolutely no idea how you did that

Invisible joker code by @red flower remade in SMODs

[quartz ravine]

I have been staring at this shatterfoil XYZ Dragon for like a month trying to get this effect to work

[red flower]

hi

[daring heron]

hi

i'm trying to make my tarot card actually usable

[onyx sonnet]

hi N', i was just crediting your vanilla rewrites

[daring heron]

rn it wont let me use it

[onyx sonnet]

oh this is a tarot?

[daring heron]

honestly dont think this is of any use to me, this is a tarot, not a joker

yeah

[onyx sonnet]

the border made me think it was a joker

apologies

[quartz ravine]

First I found an example doing something similar to this on GSL.app and I began to adapt and modify it to work with Love2d's shader system.

It was a lot of work, the GSL.app one used a projected light to achieve a shiney affect. I saw how it was done over in Gold seal and adapted that approach

[onyx sonnet]

let me see the code for judgement

[daring heron]

do i perhaps need a can_use?

[onyx sonnet]

yeah

i think vanilla calls it can_use_consumeable

[quartz ravine]

@daring heron

The overall steps are

Determine our position, render polygons, and then shade them using the shaders.r and .x values. We use .r which is modified when the card is hovered over and 'skewed' and the .x constantly shifts a small amount frame by frame

Those two values plus the position on the texture are all we need to know which color to overlay then we blend in with the udnerlyign texture

[daring heron]

sounds like a lot of math

wait should i put this in the calculation?

does this even work lol

did i perhaps put it in wrong

?

[daring fern]

can_use = function(self, card)?

[daring heron]

wait is that a function?

[daring fern]

Yes?

[daring heron]

oh

can you put functions inside of functions?

[daring fern]

Yes?

[daring heron]

why does this give an error?

i put an end

[daring fern]

You're missing an end?

[daring heron]

but i put an end there

[daring fern]

Then why was it not in the picture?

[daring heron]

it is

at the bottom

[daring fern]

Then you are missing an end.

[daring heron]

nvm got it

[daring fern]

Functions need ends.

[daring heron]

i did

but i fixed it

but it did have an end before

[analog spoke]

🥺 baby's first edition 🥺

hehehe

I still gotta, like, get the effect for it done and everything, lol

not sure how I'm gonna do that yet, lol

[frigid blaze]

Can you tell me if there is any way to make the Joker count last when counting?

[daring fern]

You mean it always goes after the other jokers?

[frigid blaze]

No, so that he'd be the last one counted.

[frigid blaze]

No, so that he'd be the last one counted.

[daring fern]

Over all scoring?

[scarlet thorn]

context.after

or

depending on what specifically "after" means

[hasty mist]

is it possible to hide the rarity badge

[daring fern]

Probably.

[weary sentinel]

I can't be bothered to learn how to code
is there anyone who would want to adopt my jokers or help me make my mod

[wild locust]

Hi guys, what should I edit in the game files to minimize or remove this 'swaying' effect on the cards?

[daring fern]

That just means your game is lagging more than usual.

[wild locust]

I know, but is there any way to remove this effect, within the game code?

I want to move the cards without the 'ragdoll' effect that the game has

[daring fern]

Probably not, you should probably try optimising your game instead.

[hybrid shadow]

does anyone know what id put in default_weight for custom rarities if i wanted to make the weights equivalent to the weight of vanilla rarities

[wild locust]

I've already managed to do almost everything, all that's missing is this card effect.

[surreal coral]

Do I need to be mindful of how much I use the update() function in my jokers? Just seems like using that in a lot of things at once could bog the game down since it runs every frame

[red flower]

Yes, I would actually avoid update unless you really really need it

[surreal coral]

Good to know, thanks

[fair frost]

I'm still stumped on this

Would anyone have an example rank adding code?

[daring fern]

Showdown mod?

[fair frost]

I'll take a look! Thank you

[dull sage]

Is there a way to add a new variable to a card?

[tall wharf]

just put shit in card.ability

[zealous glen]

The player to move or the game to move?

[zealous glen]

Hello aiko

What would you code in Julia

[wild locust]

It's this effect of the cards in the player's hand, 'swinging' to the sides as if they were made of rubber, when dragging a card over them.

[tall wharf]

😭😭😭😭

what

[hasty mist]

whats wrong here?

[zealous glen]

You can use even unorthodox characters in Julia, including emoji

Imagine using emoji to name a variable

[zealous glen]

Can’t you set motion to 0 in the options menu?

[tall wharf]

i would never

[plain apex]

still dont know how to get this to work

[hardy viper]

ai code in shambles

🚀🚀🚀

[dull sage]

I feel like I should know how to do that but my brain isn't braining today

[tall wharf]

just put everything you want to inside card.ability

[zealous glen]

brain.ability.sleep = true

[wild locust]

I've already tried that

[zealous glen]

Do you want to stop the cards from moving or do you want to stop the cards from sorting

[tall wharf]

what is this font scaling 😭😭😭😭😭

this hurts

ow

[hasty mist]

bump

[tall wharf]

ow

this hurts

[chrome widget]

Is there an easier shorthand to using a calculate return table to make a card juice but not give a message?

[tall wharf]

what is hand name

[hasty mist]

unsure, i copied this from vanilla arm

[tall wharf]

😭

[zealous glen]

I think G.GAME.hands is nil

[fair frost]

if handname is not global, it's nil in context

[chrome widget]

handname in vanilla arm is used in modify_hand, which does pass in a handname

If you want to do something similar, you should use that function instead

[zealous glen]

You could juice it manually

[hasty mist]

alright, how would i do that?

[chrome widget]

That's what I've been doing but the timing is a lot more difficult

[zealous glen]

You can just pass a value to make it juice right?

[tall wharf]

context.scoring_hand?

[wild locust]

I just want to remove this effect of the card being tilted when being dragged

[zealous glen]

At a specific moment or all the time?

[wild locust]

it's for an extremely small screen, that's why the font is so big 👀

[fair frost]

I copied the rank-adding code from Showdown mod, and it displays the same issue I was facing
Which means this must be handled elsewhere, right?

[wild locust]

just at dragging a card

[daring fern]

Did you also copy the localization?

[plain apex]

i did this before but the card was actually broken lol

[zealous glen]

Idk, I’d try to find where card click and drag is defined, either in card.lua or node.lua , and go from there. If you want a hacky solution, you could try to do something every frame and remove a dragged card’s tilt before it’s rendered

[fair frost]

Do you know if the localization file is recognized by default, or if I need to include code for it?

[fair frost]

Yeah, what stumps me is that everything works except the tooltip lol

[daring fern]

If it’s named correctly then yes.

[chrome widget]

This is what I've been trying do (this is an overwritten Glass enhancement)

    return {
        func = function()
            for _, v in ipairs(dances) do
                G.FUNCS.csau_flare_stand_aura(v, 0.5)
            end
        end,
        extra = {
            x_mult = self.config.x_mult,
            delay = 0,
            func = function()
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0, func = function()
                    for _, v in ipairs(dances) do
                        v:juice_up()
                    end
                return true end }))
            end
        }
    }
end```

But various combinations of extra nesting keep having the juice either occur *way* before it should (at the beginning of scoring) or in combination with the aura after the card has been scored rather than in combination with it, which is what I want

[plain apex]

there was also the time i did this

both the error of spades and nothing would just crash the game if played lol

[fair frost]

Hmm, copying over the en-us localization file wasn't enough
I must be missing something ^^'

[zealous glen]

But what about letting the scoring itself decide when to juice?

[daring fern]

Is it in a localization folder?

[fair frost]

Yep

[chrome widget]

Doesn't account for needing to juice multiple cards, and would overwrite juicing the scoring playing card

[hasty mist]

how could i increase the level of the played hand? copying code from the arm doesnt seem to work and i dont know how to make it work properly

[zealous glen]

I’m not sure what’s the issue

You can specify which card is juiced

And you have extra

So you can specify multiple juiced cards

[chrome widget]

juicing doesn't seem to work without a message. I'd need some way to arbitrarily trigger it

[fair frost]

Inside the blind's function it takes an arg for handname

Have you checked where it calls debuff_hand?

[chrome widget]

Regardless, if you have multiple copies of Dance Macabre, I need to juice all of them simultaneously

[hasty mist]

i dont understand what you mean

[zealous glen]

What have you tried

[daring fern]

Return {level_up = true}?

[chrome widget]

just specifying a card

[zealous glen]

I think it should work

[chrome widget]

Didn't work for me in the past

I can try it again

[zealous glen]

I don’t remember all of the options, but maybe message = ‘’ helps

[chrome widget]

But it still doesn't fix the multiple simultaneous card issue since afaik the game doesn't support multiple targets for it

I could build an arbitrarily nested table to do it I suppose

Okay I think I know what the issue is now

[placid star]

can i set a in_pool function for a consumebaletype instead of setting it for each consumebale of that type?

[fair frost]

SMODS.Blind({
    key = "blind",
    name = "BlindName",
    debuff_hand = function(self, cards, hand, handname, check)
        if G.GAME.hands[handname].level > 1 then
                  self.triggered = true
                  if not check then
                    level_up_hand(self.children.animatedSprite, handname, nil, -1)
                    self:wiggle()
                  end
                end 
    end
})```
Would something in this lieu work?

[chrome widget]

It seems like the x_mult return is actually still the base glass card one

Which is.... annoying

[viscid lagoon]

chat how do i make my edition work 💔

[chrome widget]

Okay yep. I fixed something and now it's giving xmult twice, with correctly timed animations

[hasty mist]

dont think so

happens when i highlight a card

[chrome widget]

My main issue is how to disable the default config of the glass card without potentially breaking anything else that overwrites base glass cards at a higher priority

[fair frost]

Does it still crash if you change if G.GAME.hands[handname].level > 1 to if true

Although
If its crashing on highlight, this wouldn't fix it

[daring fern]

You can do SMODS.calculate_effect({level_up = true}) if you don’t want to return.

[fair frost]

This is smarter

[hasty mist]

it doesn't

[hasty mist]

how do i integrate this

[daring fern]

You just put it where and when you want to level up the played hand.

[hasty mist]

that seemed to work

thank you!

[fair frost]

I was silly, and hadn't changed the Showdown prefix inside the localization file to my mod's

With that, it all works now

Thanks for the help

[daring fern]

The problem here seemed to be that the atlas was nil for some reason?

[hasty mist]

how do i modify base chips and mult like the flint?

[daring fern]

Modify hand_chips and mult?

[hasty mist]

yeah

i figured itd be something like this but im not entirely sure

[wild locust]

I managed to do what I wanted

[zealous glen]

Nice!

[pulsar flower]

i'm a huge fan of that ui

[daring fern]

I think you would just do mult = mod_mult(mult operator conditions)

[sleek cliff]

The game does open, but when I try to spawn the necisarry jokers that I need (specifically Ian) it crashes

[daring fern]

Your not checking for a context so context.other_card wouldn’t exist.

[sleek cliff]

oh

what should I replace with it then? or do I just remove it and see what happens

[daring fern]

What does the joker do?

[sleek cliff]

every time Ian Chesterton is triggered, create 1 tarot card

[daring fern]

context.post_trigger then.

[sleek cliff]

ahh

[daring fern]

No, it should stay as context.other_card you just need to check if context.post_trigger then index.

[sleek cliff]

like this?

[daring fern]

No, you need to check before you index.

[sleek cliff]

then which line do I put it in

[daring fern]

if context.post_trigger and …

[sleek cliff]

oh ok, I just needed to swap around

damn it, she still does NOTHING

[daring fern]

Why do you have an event in an event in a func?

Try a single event outside of the return.

[sleek cliff]

Its cause it's copied from the Cartomancer but changed

[red flower]

the reason it's in func in the mod i made is for retriggers

i need to find a way to make that clear

[sleek cliff]

oh

[red flower]

it should work anyway

[sleek cliff]

Every time Ian does trigger because of another doctor, she just does not

[red flower]

do you have the post_trigger optional feature enabled?

[sleek cliff]

I believe so

[red flower]

you should have SMODS.current_mod.optional_features somewhere

[sleek cliff]

been there for a bit

cause if Ian triggered, than she should too but shes doing jack shite

[red flower]

hmm does it work if you remove the IanC check?

[sturdy monolith]

#⚙・modding-general message

[red flower]

(it will do it for all jokers of course but just to test)

[red flower]

can i see the atlas definition?

[sleek cliff]

still nothin

[sturdy monolith]

ah

thanks

[red flower]

hmm the feature might be wrongly enabled, try doing SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = { post_trigger = true }

[hybrid shadow]

oh so even if your atlas has only one card you still need a pos =

[hasty mist]

what's wrong here

[red flower]

not really, the default pos is 0,0

[hybrid shadow]

oh the issue was that it was an animation table

i see

[sleek cliff]

stillllll nothin, I find it funny that no one knows whats going on

[red flower]

yeah

never really used any of the optional features really

really

[daring fern]

What’s going wrong?

[upper juniper]

question, is there any way for me to change the way foil/holo/poly look in the textures ?

[daring fern]

The lua extension tells you about syntax errors.

[upper juniper]

bc i dint find anything

[daring fern]

You could change the shader?

[upper juniper]

where do i find that, lets say in the hd mod

[daring fern]

The shader in the source is resources/shaders/

[analog spoke]

quick question, when adding a dependancy, what do I put for the name? only reason I say is cuz I tried myself and it's saying I don't have the mod when I do lol

[daring fern]

The id?

[red flower]

does fusion jokers use that version formatting?

[daring fern]

The id is FusionJokers?

[analog spoke]

this was it, lol, thank you

[minor magnet]

this is stupid, how can i implement this better?

[upper juniper]

not to be that guy, but could you tell me where do i need to look ? (2nd pic is the HD mod)

[daring fern]

The HD mod doesn’t replace the shaders.

[upper juniper]

ok then where are they

cuz i cant find them

[red flower]

what's the effect you want?

[minor magnet]

+1 handsize for each free joker slot

[red flower]

always? or does it need to be at those timings?

[minor magnet]

always

but

i used those timings to avoid

issues

[sturdy monolith]

how do i check if a specific boss blind has been defeated

[minor magnet]

(the issues are not being avoided)

i did say it was stupid

[hasty mist]

the lua extension is NOT showing syntax errors, its only making text that should be yellow green

[daring fern]

Hook blind defeat and put its key in a table?

[red flower]

What are the issues? I would do something similar to what you're doing but putting all the things in update inside those timings OR changing the hand size directly in update, basically one or the other

[minor magnet]

changing handsize in update explodes the game

because it changes it every frame

[daring fern]

Which line is line 37?

[red flower]

change it only when it's modified

[minor magnet]

tried, it adds it more than once

[hasty mist]

in the main lua?

[red flower]

let me test something real quick

[daring fern]

In the file with the problem.

[hasty mist]

first is the main lua, which is referenced in the crash, and the second is the lua that contains the blind, also referenced in the crash

[upper juniper]

so uh resources/shaders/ doesnt exist for me, or im looking in the wrong place

[daring fern]

Are you looking in the extracted exe?

[upper juniper]

both

the extracted and the steam files

or whatever its called

(the 2nd one)

[daring fern]

Your trying to do things after a return.

[upper juniper]

AppData\Roaming\Balatro basically i cant find it there

nor in the ec=xtracted

[minor magnet]

ok wait i have an idea

[hasty mist]

why doesnt the lua extension tell me this, all it does is change the color of some text

[minor magnet]

the shaders are in Balatro\resources\shaders

[daring fern]

It should? Did you turn off lines?

[hasty mist]

it should be default settings

[minor magnet]

oh wait you said it doesn't exist?? you might be looking in the wrong plac

[hasty mist]

this is why i dont use the lua extension

it does nothing for me

except make my code harder to read

[minor magnet]

they are in the extracted exe or even better in the lovelydump

[daring fern]

Are you using the right one?

[hasty mist]

yeah

sumneko

first image is with extension, second image is without

all it does is change the color of my text

[daring fern]

If you type a bunch of random characters are there any red lines?

[hasty mist]

no

[red flower]

this works for me

update = function(self, card, dt)
        if card.area and card.area == G.jokers then
            local new_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit - #G.jokers.cards + #SMODS.find_card("joker key")
            if new_limit ~= card.ability.extra.h_size then
                G.hand:change_size(new_limit - card.ability.extra.h_size)
                card.ability.extra.h_size = new_limit
            end
        end
    end,
remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.hand:change_size(-card.ability.extra.h_size)
    end,

[analog spoke]

how would I make an edition that lowers reroll cost? I've never made an edition before, lol

[daring fern]

Try looking at its settings?

[daring fern]

You mean if you have a playing card with this edition in your deck the retool cost is lowered?

[hybrid shadow]

bump

[analog spoke]

hmm I wasn't thinking of how this'd interact with playing cards, hmm

[chrome widget]

What cardarea contexts do consumables receive when they're send calculation contexts?

[analog spoke]

I could go with +discards instead, maybe

still not sure how I'd make it work tho, lol

[chrome widget]

I've tried both G.jokers and G.consumeables and neither seems to work

[hasty mist]

i think i managed to get it to show syntax errors

i still would really like for it to not change the color of my text though

[minor magnet]

not working

8+5+5 is not 11

[daring fern]

Is that not an option in the settings?

[hasty mist]

i tried looking for it

[upper juniper]

ok so, i did find the shaders, BUT i dont know where the actual imgs / whataver is on the extren lines is

[daring fern]

The shader is not an image.

[upper juniper]

so that means i cant change it ?

[daring fern]

You can.

[upper juniper]

or is it all hex values or smth

damnit

welp

[analog spoke]

like, how do edition effects work? can you make any regular joker effect into an edition effect? I'm not really sure what I'm doing here, lol

[red flower]

this is the whole thing

[upper juniper]

gn chat im too tired for allat, its 1am

[analog spoke]

I'm looking in edition examples rn but I can only see basic config stuffs, hmmm

[minor magnet]

i'll look into it tomorrow

[wintry solar]

the example are old and jank, just use a calculate function like you would for a joker

[analog spoke]

okey, so calculates do work with editions, good to know, thank you 👍

[hasty mist]

alright, i fixed the syntax error

but it seems to be extremely broken

it's multiplying mult by 10 instead of two

and its not even multiplying chips

[daring fern]

No, it’s setting mult to double chips.

[hasty mist]

😭

how do i fix this

[daring fern]

Return only once and return the values in correct order.

[analog spoke]

so, I tried to make an edition which lowered reroll costs and it crashes lol, uhm, what do I do to replace the "jokery" parts here with "editiony" stuff? lol

[daring fern]

Log?

[daring fern]

Did you define the shader?

[analog spoke]

I think so, I mean, it used to work before I made it about rerolls

it used to just give +chips

twas a copy of foil

[daring fern]

Which line is line 30?

[daring fern]

You need to use self.config card is the card it is on.

[wintry solar]

what on earth is on_apply

[analog spoke]

ahhhh ok

[analog spoke]

on_apply is the add_to_deck of editions, according to smods wiki at least

idk if I understood it right, tho, lol

[wintry solar]

oh I see

man is that function in a shit place

[analog spoke]

lol

wait, do you mean smods wiki or me?

[wintry solar]

it's called before the card gets given any of the properties of the edition

I mean the code 🤣

[analog spoke]

lol, hehe

😭

lmao, this keeps happening klasnfksdn

[daring fern]

Code?

[wintry solar]

no these functions are basically useless for using values

[analog spoke]

nsdhf

so, uhh, does add to deck work here or? lol, idk what to do here lol

translating a joker effect into an edition effect is hard lmao hehehe

[analog spoke]

it appears as if add/remove to deck does not work on editions asdbfsdhbj

idk what to do now lmaoo hebjdajs

[wintry solar]

do something else and wait until we fix it 🤣

[analog spoke]

lmaoo

ok lol, hmm

well, back to the drawing board on what to make this effect do I guess lmao

[torpid plume]

hey y’all- looking for anyone willing to help me out w my balatro mod idea in #1371168036740137070. i’m specifically in need of coding expertise since i quite literally dont have the time this summer to learn how to code in this language 💔

[split cairn]

How can I stop this from happening? The joker's effect is instantly winning the blind, like Gaming Chair from Polterworx, but the playing cards always get bugged like this and I don't know what to do

[analog spoke]

wait a sec, if this isn't possible, how does negative edition work? negative would also work on apply, right?

ahh, sorry, didn't see u were offline, lol

[midnight coyote]

do i use love.graphics.newShader

or just feed the game GLSL code

[placid star]

does G.deck.cards hold an array of every card even whilst some are drawn to hand?

[primal robin]

Wait wait wait, Balatro basically doesn't support multiple text inputs on a screen properly?

Like, I'm selecting 1 of 3, all of them became looks like they're selected

What a heck

[quartz ravine]

hi dudes, whats the path to the balatro save file for windows? I want to back up my file and then try the mod as a new user to hunt for buggoees

[red flower]

nop, just in deck
G.playing_cards does

[red flower]

one up from the mods folder in the 1/2/3 folders

[red flower]

You need to do it in the SELECTING_HAND state

[split cairn]

what do I change here?

[red flower]

did you add the 3 seconds comment or was that in polterworx?

[split cairn]

the delay wasn't working anyway, i forgot to erase that

[sleek cliff]

Are there examples to create a brand new planet card?

[red flower]

ah it was just to check if that solved it, you can do

func = function()
  if G.STATE ~= G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND then
    -- win the round code
    return true -- have the return true here
  end
end

[quartz ravine]

Thank you! I also feel like I'm probably good enough to beat the tutorial seed now!

[red flower]

there's one in the poker hand smods examples

[split cairn]

wtf is happening? im softlocked now lol

[proud moon]

does anyone know if there is a variable or context that watches for then a joker's sell cost has been altered?

[red flower]

oops forgot that you need to add blocking = false to the event

[red flower]

there's not, other than the sell_cost variable itself

[proud moon]

youve got quite the number of events queuing up over there lol

[proud moon]

ugh

[split cairn]

where do I add it?

[red flower]

you can add it in the middle of trigger and after but also that's not what I said at all lol

can you copy the code here

[sleek cliff]

Should I create a whole new script for those, or will they not show up if I do that?

[red flower]

you can create one if you want

[sleek cliff]

oki, just making sure :)

[split cairn]

   calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if G.STATE ~= G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay   = 0,  
            func    = function()

                G.GAME.chips        = G.GAME.blind.chips
                G.STATE             = G.STATES.HAND_PLAYED
                G.STATE_COMPLETE    = true
                end_round()      
            return true
            end
        }))
        return true
        end
    end,
``` is this what you wanted?

[red flower]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.setting_blind and not context.blueprint then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger  = 'after',
            delay    = 0,
            blocking = false,
            func     = function()
                if G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND then --edit
                    G.GAME.chips     = G.GAME.blind.chips
                    G.STATE          = G.STATES.HAND_PLAYED
                    G.STATE_COMPLETE = true
                    end_round()
                    return true
                end
            end
        }))
    end
end

im stupid lol

should be G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND

[midnight coyote]

i added an edition, added a shader, but the shader doesnt render

i used an example shader so i could see how it works

but its not. going on the card

thats the shader

and here's the edition

?? whats uo

up**

[split cairn]

thank you so much, it works now 😁

[sleek cliff]

So I have the code in, but the planet card isn't yet showing up

[hybrid shadow]

may be a newbie question but is in_pool true by default if it isnt listed in the code?

[sleek cliff]

uhhhh, idk myself lol, probably is?

[hybrid shadow]

also do you intend for your planet card to be purchased in the shop bc if so then you should probably list a cost

[sleek cliff]

true true

[analog spoke]

I know there's a page of example jokers somewhere, where it's all the base game jokers rewritten through steammodded (or something like that), but, is there an equivalent of it for the base game editions? I'd love to check how Negative is made

(I mean the effects of the edition, not the shader btw)

[willow plinth]

slight tangent but balatro also doesn't support entering 0 (the number) in any input and replaces it with o???

[primal robin]

Supports if you pass extended_corpus = true

[midnight coyote]

vec4 final_color = vec4(color, clamp(test.x, alpha * (1.0 - pow(radius, 2.0)))); why's it bitching about clamp

[hybrid shadow]

idrk what else to say that might help, but make sure you have can_use in there so its usable

[midnight coyote]

okay hm

hold on

oh i messed up the func

[red flower]

are you loading the file

[midnight coyote]

WHY ARE MY EDITIONS NOT LOADIN G IM GONNA GO BONKKERRRSSS

does it need to be a .fs fike

file

yup

it does

FUCK

not the intended effect but alright

[sleek cliff]

Its a brand new file

[red flower]

then you need to load it in your main file

[sleek cliff]

Oh, damn

[red flower]

assert(SMODS.load_file("path to file.lua"))()

[sleek cliff]

Ohhh

[native zinc]

???

[shut crater]

anyone know how to check if context.other_card is debuffed?

[midnight coyote]

can someone experienced in shader magic explain why this isnt rendering

[red flower]

context.other_card.debuff

[shut crater]

debuff_card?

debuff doesn't show up in vscode

[red flower]

.debuff

[midnight coyote]

what the fuuuccckkk

[shut crater]

remember kids, always return in your hooks

or else you'll get weird bugs you can't track down

[young mirage]

guys i still can't figure out how to get negative mult to show up

i thought it was in scale_number but i guess it's not being called at all??

and when i call scale_number from game.lua it just returns nil no matter what

[shut crater]

I submitted a pr for that, but it got closed with the comment that they were going to find a better way than the way I fixed it

I can send you my fix but it's likely to be unnecessary soon

[young mirage]

alr ill look at it

[shut crater]

does this mean you'll look at my fix or

like do you want me to send it

[young mirage]

yea

[shut crater]

hook:

-- hook to fix scaling for negative numbers
local scale_number_ref = scale_number
scale_number = function(number, scale, max, e_switch_point)
  if type(number) == "number" and number < 0 then
    number = math.abs(number) * 10
  end
  return scale_number_ref(number, scale, max, e_switch_point)
end

I will once again disclaimer that these fixes were rejected by the SMODS team

(probably cause they're kinda hacky)

but they do, in fact, work

[young mirage]

thanks a lot

so you need to put overwrite = true if you want to replace code?

[shut crater]

I've never seen that

oh wait

you mean for patches

yes

[young mirage]

ah

that would have been nice to know

[shut crater]

rip

idk what position = "at" does if you don't include overwrite = true, I've never checked

I've just always seen them together

[vast fractal]

is there a list of keys of all vanilla jokers/consumables/vouchers and such ?

[orchid thunder]

Does iterating through G.deck start from the top of the deck

Like is G.deck[1] the next card that is going to be drawn

[rustic swallow]

anyone know why this doesnt work

it doesnt add X3 chips when all cards held in hand are hearts or diamonds is what i mean by that

[shut crater]

does it display the message?

[rustic swallow]

no

im pretty sure red_suits == all_cards is never true

for some reason

[shut crater]

you have a context check inside of a context check

[rustic swallow]

oh

i see

thanks

[torpid plume]

hey y'all
i'm trying to make a joker that's "two-layered" like the basegame Legendaries, and i have no idea how to code it to grab the right things from the spritesheet. is there anywhere i can find resources for this? i checked the steamodded github wiki but didnt see anything

if anyone can help out feel free to dm me

[shut crater]

pos for base sprite, soul_pos for floating layer

I eblieve

[brisk rose]

does if not card.edition.type == "negative" or not card.edition then logic right if I want it to act if the edition is anything besides negative, including nothing?

[torpid plume]

thanks, ill give it a try

[shut crater]

if not (card.edition and card.edition.type == "negative") then

I think is what you want

actually demorgan's law says they're equivalent

so yeah go for it

except use ~=

and also I think the card.edition check needs to come first to nil check

does anyone know if there is support to put stuff like chips and mult on a joker the way hiker puts chips on playing cards?

[brisk rose]

yes

indeed it does

[hybrid shadow]

bump

[shut crater]

like for example an effect would set a joker's card.ability.mult = 5 and now whenever the joker is calculated it also gives 5 mult

[brisk rose]

yeah definitely looks less deranged this way too

whoops I'll remove the first if

lol

the benefits of sharing your code as you work

[shut crater]

I know it's in the docs somewhere on some random page but I can never find it

I think I was thinking of editions

sorry

[hybrid shadow]

its fine

[midnight coyote]

is it negative or e_negative

[shut crater]

in what context

[scarlet thorn]

E_ if your trying to do a key

[torpid plume]

hey gang, so. for this joker i'm working on, the whole deal with it is "for every stone card destroyed, gain []X mult"
im tryin to figure out where i'd find the code that does that, and i am having very little luck

[midnight coyote]

context.card_destroyed?

right

and then check the card being destroyed’s enhancement?

[shut crater]

are you looking to do it glass card style where it's cumulative for the whole run, or lucky cat style where the joker needs to be present

[torpid plume]

this is my first foray into balatro modding so unforch im going to be limping along through this
i'm looking to do it Lucky Cat style

i have zero coding experience so i am doin my best rn

[shut crater]

then this is the context you would use
do you know how to write a joker's calculate function? aka do you know how to check a context

[torpid plume]

i dont know how to do it too well, no 😔
and i would like to learn for myself but i cant seem to find any real definitive guide to it

[shut crater]

this is going to make everything 20x harder btw

[torpid plume]

yeahh ik :(

but i am determined

[shut crater]

there isn't a great guide but this I think would be really helpful for you to see how to replicate a bunch of vanilla effects
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua

this page will sorta help you understand contexts but not really
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[torpid plume]

👁️ thank you

[shut crater]

basically if you want your joker's effect to trigger at a specific time, you need to use the right context

[shut crater]

the calculate page will kinda help you figure out what those different options are, but funny/not funny enough, the context you want to use isn't even listed

[torpid plume]

im seeing Canio's code listing "remove_playing_cards" as part of its context?

[shut crater]

(when I say "use" a context I just mean have an if statement checking context.something)

[torpid plume]

i see, okay

[shut crater]

yeah seems legit

I haven't written that specific type of effect before so idk

try it and see what's up

also install the DebugPlus mod if you haven't

[torpid plume]

ill try n mess around with this stuff a bit before bed. also thank you i will grab that

im guessing there isnt a "stone cards" variable like there is a "face_cards", so do you know how i'd check for the enhancement?

[shut crater]

SMODS.has_enhancement(removed_card, "m_stone")

oh wait

there

if you're using canio as a guide

[torpid plume]

would it be okay if i DMed you to continue this so i can try n keep track of this and come back to it later?

[shut crater]

sure, or we can make a thread here

[torpid plume]

either #1371168036740137070 or in DMs works for me, up to you

[shut crater]

DMs is fine

[torpid plume]

its not lettin me DM you so i think youll have to start it up

[shut crater]

uhh me either

[brisk rose]

wait

this function is used all the time in sprite.lua, which is y'know in the engine

but it's defined outside of the engine folder

in misc_functions.lua

is it just me or is that a moment?

Am I crazy or is the draw_steps routine from the main game literally only ever used on blinda?

and thunk does it manually everywhere else?

[frigid blaze]

Can you tell me in which program it is better to make pixelation of your jokers?

[timid zinc]

Is there a way to make an enhancement or edition change the back of the card?

[hasty mist]

how do i check for cards played previously this ante

ah figured it out

nevermind

what did i do wrong here

[faint yacht]

context.other_card?

[hasty mist]

that's what i was thinking as well, what's the correct parameter for cards played previously this ante?

[faint yacht]

(cardpointer).ability.played_this_ante

[hasty mist]

huh

how does that fit into context.other_card

[faint yacht]

context.other_card is the currently evaluated card.

context.other_card.ability.played_this_ante

[hasty mist]

i see

awesome, works

thank you!

[flint fern]

guys how do i texture pack a modded thing (in malverk)

[manic rune]

does CardArea count as an object?

[fleet bluff]

trying to learn lua with balatro modding but im now stuck on trying to retrigger discards (pictured: my non-working solution)

keeps crashing here

which is THIS line which has nothing to do with discards

am i doing something wrong

[daring fern]

Try looking at some of the examples.

[brisk rose]

hmmm... I might be in a little deep, lol

but uh I guess an extern is not a uniform?

[marble flint]

it should be. make sure you're using it so it doesn't get compiled away

[brisk rose]

to clarify I'm not tryign to make a shader, rather to draw foil to an external convas

it's for the card exporter thing

the code workds fine, it just breaks when i add this send statement

if send and card.edition then shader:send((edition_key or card.edition.type), send) end

it's adapted from the draw_shader function in the game

oh I see what's wrong I think

it must be trying to do this for editions other than foil, but I can't imagaine why

I'll share my whole code (I'm a degnerate and using notepad so it's messy), lol

[marble flint]

i so desparately want to rewrite balatro's rendering pipeline to be un-shit but it's not worth it

[wheat pulsar]

hi is there any way to mult chips?
or i need to do a new function?

[marble flint]

is edition_key supposed to be referencing a global in draw_sprite?

[brisk rose]

the output_root and file_path business is strmnn's thing. He's the one who's actuallu doing this refactor of the code exporter. I just took fixing the editions on

[daring fern]

xchips?

[brisk rose]

no I didn't change that when I made it 2 seperate functions. it's the edition_key from the thing in the second function. I don't know why it'd exist and be foil if the edition isn't foil though

[runic pecan]

Which one looks better?

[manic rune]

how do i add text ui on top of a card

this one currently doesnt work

[weary sentinel]

specific suit probably has more versatility despite the lower scaling

[manic rune]

like, i want it to look something like this

🤔

[weary sentinel]

flush locking you into 5 card hands makes it worse in most runs

[runic pecan]

So you're voting the second one?

[weary sentinel]

yeah

wild cards sound like they'd go crazy with that

is it a voucher or a joker?

[wheat pulsar]

i see...
tyy

[runic pecan]

Voucher.
It's inspired by Observatory Voucher.

[weary sentinel]

I want to make a mod but have no experience with lua or coding in general
but I am decent at making joker art and concepts, so if anyone would want to work together on a project let me know

[subtle hawk]

I didn't know anything about coding when starting development of my mod too (I would say I still don't really know what I'm doing, but stuff works)
Can be kinda time-consuming running around in the dark trying to do shit tho lol, try looking at example mods first maybe

[weary sentinel]

I spent like two hours trying to figure out why the one joker I tried to impliment wasn't doing anything 😭

I'm sure it could be worse but it would be nice just to have someone who knows what they're doing

[brisk rose]

I I figured out the issue. I have the shader object, but it's lost the contnection to its name, which is what gets passed there

From what I understand, with the shader object, the only way to get its key would be to iterate over the G.SHADERS?

more intengentially, I'm just gonna try to pass the draw_sprite funcion a variable for the shader's orginaal name as well

[daring heron]

how do i make this code delay when my tarot gives a joker by like 0.3 seconds like how soul does it?

right now it instantly gives it whenever you click use

[daring heron]

tried this but that doesnt work

[frosty rampart]

yea you gotta use the event manager for delays

if (#G.jokers.cards + G.GAME.joker_buffer) < G.jokers.config.card_limit then
  G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    trigger = 'after',
    delay = 0.4,
    func = function()
      SMODS.add_card(set = 'bananas')
      return true
    end
  }))
end

[weary sentinel]

could anyone tel me why this joker does nothing whatsoever when scored

[frosty rampart]

here's the steamodded documentation on it too https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager

for the code snippet i wrote out, note that the delay being 0.4 is pulled from referencing the soul itself, and the function in the event has to return true to indicate that it completed properly

[daring heron]

what part should i replace it with? i tried replacing it with if (#G.jokers.cards + G.GAME.joker_buffer) < G.jokers.config.card_limit then SMODS.add_card{set = 'bananas'} end but that didnt work

[frosty rampart]

my code snippet's if statement is the same as the if statement in your original screenshot, the whole event replaces just the single add_card call

[daring heron]

like this?

[frosty rampart]

no, you don't need the second copy of the if statement

[frosty rampart]

context.repetition is only true when cards are retriggered

[weary sentinel]

ohh

[daring heron]

so like this?

[frosty rampart]

indentation is a little funky but yea that's good

[daring heron]

hm?

[frosty rampart]

it won't affect the code running, but for readability purposes there's some indentation that's off (the first and second ends, as well as the })), should technically each be one tab to the right. i'm kinda just nitpicking but readable code is important)

[weary sentinel]

is there a way to just give yourself a joker with dbugplus

[native zinc]

collection

press 3

[frosty rampart]

^ hover over it in the collection and press 3
depending on your settings you might need to press ctrl-3

[weary sentinel]

thank you!

[daring heron]

oh and Q or ctrl-Q to change the edition

[daring heron]

alright, lemme see if it works

nope haha

[weary sentinel]

you guys are helping so much
also sorry in advance for the really simple questions I've never really worked with code before

[daring heron]

don't worry i know what it's like, i just started modding like a month ago

[daring heron]

yeah you're gonna see that a lot

[weary sentinel]

at least it's doing something now

is there a simple fix to this or does that mean something's broken

[frosty rampart]

thank you for including the line numbers in your screenshot
this is an issue with your add_card call and actually i'll take the blame on this one, i glossed over the fact that it was curly braces instead of parentheses in your initial screenshot

[daring heron]

hah don't worry it happens

i'll try to make include the line numbers more often

[weary sentinel]

i've narrowed it down tho this specific pointer

card is defined as self two lines under

[frosty rampart]

ok back up here
you don't need the innermost curly braces in your config definition, just say config = { extra = 1 },

[weary sentinel]

alright

I don't think that will change anything but it's good to know it's unnecessary lol

[daring heron]

honestly kinda wanna make my own edition but i really dont feel like learning a whole new coding language ngl

[weary sentinel]

changing play and repetition to an or statement fixed the joker not scoring

[frosty rampart]

oh wait i see the actual problem now
calculate is supposed to be a function that takes a "card" argument too. i.e. it should be calculate = function(self, card, context)

[daring fern]

Is it possible to get SMODS.calculate_effect to run when it should instead of before everything?

[daring heron]

last problem, it seems to not be random which joker you get

it always gives blue java, red dacca and then just gros michels

[weary sentinel]

now it's mad about context

[daring heron]

on every seed

[daring fern]

It's card not self

[weary sentinel]

updated that, crash persists

[frosty rampart]

you also can still delete the whole context.cardarea == G.play or context.repetition like i told you to already, it's completely unnecessary
i dunno how to fix the actual problem at this point but it's like 2:30 in the morning and i need to get some sleep

[daring fern]

What object is this?

[weary sentinel]

rest well, thanks for helping :)

[frosty rampart]

dunno this either, i've not played with add_card yet

[weary sentinel]

I'm building this off an example joker from a modding tutorial 😭

[daring fern]

Where is the bananas set defined?

[weary sentinel]

idk what's necessary and not

[daring fern]

Cavendish doesn't show up because it's not in the pool yet, are you 100% confident that it is not random?

[daring heron]

not 100%, but it seems like it, and why isnt cavendish in the pool? i put it in there

[daring fern]

You need to have gros michel go extinct.

[weary sentinel]

it's a joker if that's what you mean

[daring heron]

oh, is there any way i can make it always spawn from here regardless if gros michel went extinct?

[brisk rose]

here's how they were all looking yesterday

[daring fern]

You could make the object type a table and put the keys in there then get a random element then create a joker from that key?

[daring heron]

how do i do that?

[daring fern]

local bananakeys = {
    "j_cavendish",
    "j_cavendish",
    "j_cavendish",
    "j_cavendish",
    "j_cavendish",
    "j_cavendish",
    "j_cavendish",
    "j_cavendish",
    "j_cavendish",
    "j_cavendish",
    "j_cavendish",
    "j_cavendish",
    "j_cavendish",
    "j_cavendish",
    "j_cavendish",
    "j_cavendish",
    "j_cavendish",
}
local chosenbanana = pseudorandom_element(bananakeys, pseudoseed('banana'))
SMODS.add_card({key = chosenbanana})

[daring heron]

inside the tarot card or the pool?

[daring fern]

The tarot.

[daring heron]

alright

[daring fern]

It should be card not self

[daring heron]

is there any way i can make the pool only on 1 place so i dont have to edit each one?

i'm planning on adding multiple that use these

[weary sentinel]

?

[daring fern]

Put the table outside the tarot but still keep it local, so it'll be file-wide.

[daring fern]

Put self back on the calculate function.

[weary sentinel]

crash persists

[daring heron]

like i just put this outside of the tarot?

[daring fern]

Try printing context?

[daring fern]

Yes, then you can use it file-wide

[daring heron]

awesome

[weary sentinel]

sorry this is my first time messing with code 😭
what does that mean

[daring fern]

print(context) before anything else.

[brisk rose]

my message got added to the file, lol, but it's best it sent as a file being so long

can anyone help me figure out why the negative simply isn't negativing? it looks like it's applied wice, but idk how or why that'd be

is what i said

[weary sentinel]

putting it here has the same crash, putting it before calculate has a different crash

[daring fern]

Yes, go into the lovely window and scroll to above the crash.

[weary sentinel]

(1) Lua local 'handler' at file 'main.lua:612'
Local variables:

(*temporary) = string: "Oops! The game crashed\

[daring fern]

Try print("Context: ", context) so you can find it.

Then press CTRL F and find it.

[faint yacht]

...something is not closed - maybe pos or config?

[daring fern]

Try installing the lua extension.

If I were to hook SMODS.find_card and find_joker would that be sufficent for my joker to count as every joker?

[weary sentinel]

the thing i'm confused about is that the error implies that this bracket isn't closed (which it is) and I need to add a }
but after adding said } on the line where it's "expected", it instead crashes because there's an unexpected }

[faint yacht]

-# To be fair, we ain't seeing the full thing either.

[weary sentinel]

😭 I've spent 6 hours trying to add one simple joker
I don't think modding is for me

it is four in the morning though, so I need to sleep

[daring fern]

What does the joker do?

[weary sentinel]

I'll probably just look to commission someone to make them

[weary sentinel]

it's literally supposed to just be a hiker variant
Scored 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s gain a permanent +1 mult

premise being a mix between hiker and hack

[spice scroll]

steammodded has permanent mult built in now

so itd be something like

[weary sentinel]

I used their page for that, yeah

[native zinc]

is there a way to get a random integer between x and y using pseudorandom

[daring fern]

pseudorandom('seed', x, y)

[native zinc]

thank kyooou.

-# why isn't that in the docs

[daring fern]

Vanilla functions don't get documented in the documentation.

[spice scroll]

            if table.contains(context.scoring_hand, v) and context.other_card:get_id() >= 2 and context.other_card:get_id() <= 5 then
                v.ability.perma_mult = v.ability.perma_mult or 0
                v.ability.perma_mult = v.ability.perma_mult + card.ability.extra.mult_mod
                card_eval_status_text(v, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'), colour = G.C.MULT, func = function() card:juice_up() end})
            end
        end```

[brisk rose]

and no,skipping the first render with the normal shader doesn't help (it does help some others though)

I think "ignore_base_shader" is exposed on editions, i need to add support for that

[spice scroll]

@weary sentinel i think this shooould work?

[daring fern]

Why iterate over the full hand?

[icy oak]

would be really helpful to include them for modding purposes though...

[vocal cedar]

hello my moddera

no questions today just hello

[spice scroll]

true actually i grabbed some code from a joker in cardsauce but you wouldnt need to go over the entire hand just do individual

[daring fern]

Why does this show up sometimes?:

^0 Mult

[regal ether]

what's the error for when a card doesnt have loc txt

[daring fern]

It doesn't have a description or name.

[regal ether]

hm

[daring fern]

Sometimes it crashes.

[runic pecan]

Which side of F's look better?
Edit: 2️⃣ it is! Thanks for voting!

[daring fern]

If I had a joker that was every joker's update function at the same time, would that cause issues?

[zealous glen]

Right looks better but I think left fits the font better

[daring fern]

I also don't know why this lags the game so much because I tried this with every common joker from every mod I had installed including vanilla and it didn't lag to such an extent.

Also how does one prevent a joker from being destroyed in all ways?

[runic pecan]

Which one looks better? (Both of these fonts are from vanilla consumeables texture)
Edit: 1️⃣ it is! Thanks for voting!

[daring fern]

Does anyone know what could be causing this crash?

[red flower]

I think it's because both a and b can end up resulting in -1. The sorting must be consistent so a < b should be the opposite of b > a, if you swap them in your function when both return -1 then you end up that a < b and b > a are the same

or something

[daring fern]

That seemed to have fixed it.

[slender island]

why am i always getting broken texture?

[daring fern]

y should be relative to the py of your atlas.

Same with x

[slender island]

wdym

[daring fern]

Show how you define the atlas.

[slender island]

||english is not my first language||

[slender island]

.

[daring fern]

The pos should not be how many pixels to get to the image, it should be what row and column it needs to look for.

[slender island]

ohh

[runic pecan]

Does the second letter look like a Q enough?

[slender island]

yes

[midnight coyote]

hmm

i see

[brisk rose]

bump

and here's my current code, though it doens't seem to behave much different

I've pretty much copied Card:draw, Sprite:draw_shader and Sprite:draw_self exactly, and negativee still isn't negativing

I'm beggining to suspect the default values for things like hover and shadow make it invert from the viewing angle

also don't know if there's a consistent place where the flag to ignore the base shader is stored

for some iof the modded editions that need it

[midnight coyote]

isnt negative 2 shaders at once

[brisk rose]

I can try applying shine, but I don't think that'll make it suddenly invert

[midnight coyote]

worth a shot if your stumpedd

[brisk rose]

shiny but no negative. I added

        shader = G.SHADERS.negative_shine
        shadername = "negative_shine"
        draw_sprite(card, exportsprite, shader, canvas, shadername)
    end
    ```

right after the original edition shader draw

[midnight coyote]

hm alrigh

[cyan lagoon]

what am i missing here?

this destroys a card but leaves behind some kind of phantom card

[red flower]

don't destroy played cards during scoring manually, use context.destroy_card

[cyan lagoon]

so i return the local of the random card right?

i think i tried that

imma give it another shot

[red flower]

wdym

[cyan lagoon]

what do i do with that context?

return true or...

[red flower]

it says it in the docs

[polar star]

heya! first time making a mod, just wanna add some custom jokers. We wanted to keep the jokers in seperate lua files to avoid a mess, but it seems you need to put a main file in the .json for the mod to work in game. We're not sure how to activate all our joker lua files from a single main file, any advice here? or is it just better to compromise and put everything in one lua file

[bold sleet]

Here an example on how to work out exactly what you just asked.

SMODS.load_file(file) well, loads a given file.

[brisk rose]

is there any way y'all know to check the disable_base_shader flag for an edition?

[bold sleet]

In the screenshot:

• main.lua - The file your metadata (.json) file tells SMODS to load by default.
• mod_contents - A table (list) of every file to load in your mod.
• content/... - The files containing the code for various things, where your jokers would be.
• SMODS.load_file - Tells SMODS to load a certain file for your mod. The first (and only in the screenshot) argument tells SMODS where the file is located inside your mod's structure. Not certain if it is relative to the file it is being executed or the root of your mod. In this case, does not matter.

[bold sleet]

-# no fucking clue sorry

[red flower]

it's the root of the mod

[polar star]

thank you very much, this is exactly what we needed 😭

[bold sleet]

np

[bold sleet]

also, very important the assert(e) thing. Otherwise, things might not load in your mod. assert will make so balatro crashes if for any reason can't load your files, which is exactly what you want to happen.

[bright axle]

how can know if a pokerhand is alternating betwen two suits?

[manic rune]

what function is run when you enter a blind?

[bold sleet]

calculate, context.setting_blind

[manic rune]

...thats not a function, but i guess i can work with that, thanks

[bold sleet]

hold on

[manic rune]

wuh

[bold sleet]

mm?

how do i make a joker that gives a negative gros michel each blind selected?

[prime beacon]

Apologies, thankyou

[daring fern]

if context.setting_blind then
    SMODS.add_card({key = "j_gros_michel", edition = "e_negative"})
end

[bold sleet]

someone beat me to it lmao

[slender zenith]

i literally just came here to ask that what timing

[daring heron]

in the calculate function?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring heron]

alright, how do i make this joker not avaliable in the shop?

[manic rune]

...what happened to this card???

whats the (?) under it 😭

[daring fern]

in_pool = function(self)
    return false
end

In the joker.

[bold sleet]

When does that function execute?

Is it executed only when the joker is defined?

[daring fern]

❓

[manic rune]

why is this one broken

but this one isnt

what

[red flower]

one is discovered and the other one not?

it seems to have the undiscovered ?

[primal robin]

Where's smods thread?

[red flower]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209564621644505158

[daring heron]

do i still need this part or is it unnecesary

[daring fern]

What does your joker do?

[daring heron]

this is what i want it to do

[daring fern]

Then no, you don't.

[manic rune]

...oh, that makes sense

[daring heron]

oops

[bold sleet]

joker code?

[light crow]

Anyone know if there is a way to change the effects of the vanilla decks?

[bold sleet]

Lovely patch, almost certainly.

[bold sleet]

Either that or hook functions.

[daring fern]

elapsed_round doesn't exist.

[robust glacier]

is there a way to change the size/position of a stake sticker on a joker?

[daring fern]

Take ownership?

[daring heron]

do i need to put that in the config?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring heron]

well it doesnt make any jokers rn

do i need to set the elapsed_round to something else?

[daring fern]

It can't be context.end_of_round and context.setting_blind at the same time.

[daring heron]

huh?

oh

so like, this?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring heron]

just doing this over and over again lol

[daring fern]

Move the context.setting_blind check outside everything except calculate.

[brisk rose]

hmm... experiementing with manyally specifying shader values.... I don't think that's qyuite right

[rapid stag]

what am i doing wrong here? why does context.other_card just refuse to exist within an event? how do i make this work

i don't know how i can pass context.other_card into the event in a way that will make it exist

[daring heron]

this?

[daring fern]

Where did the event go?

[slender zenith]

im very new, but how would i trigger a joker when a card is enhanced in any way?

[daring heron]

so like this?

[daring fern]

No put the add_card inside the event and the if outside the event.

[daring heron]

okay now i'm confused

what do i put where

[daring fern]

if context.setting_blind then
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
            -- add card
            return true
        end
    }))
end

[daring heron]

instead of?

[polar star]

trying to add a joker that gives extra mult to wild cards when scored, while it works without the wild card check, we haven't been able to make it work like this. We also tried using SMODS.has_any_suit(card)

so basically if we remove the has_enhancement if statement it activates for every card (as it should)

[robust glacier]

please?

[daring fern]

Your checking if the joker has the wild enhancement.

[rapid stag]

you need to check context.other_card

[polar star]

ohh that's what that means 😭

[rapid stag]

speaking of, bump

[slender zenith]

lots of people here now, anyone know how?

i cant find anything on it

[daring fern]

It works fine out of an event?

[daring heron]

what do i replace this with?

[daring fern]

Everything in calculate.

[rapid stag]

yes, it does. but i am trying to do it in sequence. that requires an event.

[red flower]

just for enhancements? you would probably have to hook set_ability and check if it's a playing card and if the playing card has a different enhancement before and after

[daring heron]

so like this?

[daring fern]

No, I said replace everything in calculate with that code, then put in the add card.

[polar star]

it's fixed now thank uu

I feel stupid 😭

[rapid stag]

all good, we've all been there

[polar star]

it's ok tho, very useful information

yeah exactly :p

[daring heron]

huh? i did that didnt i?

[daring fern]

Try removing trigger, delay, blocking, blockable?

[daring fern]

No?

[daring heron]

oh, what do i do then

i thought i did it

[daring fern]

Remove everything in calculate then put in the new code then put, SMODS.add_card({key = "j_gros_michel", edition = "e_negative"})?

[rapid stag]

no change. i think it's to do with the way event manager works fundamentally i wish we could specify a parameter in the event table that gets passed into the function when it gets called

[red flower]

don't use context in an event

save that to a local

[rapid stag]

as in, i save the context.other_card to a local and reference that in the event function instead?

[daring heron]

okay so this

[red flower]

yes

[daring fern]

No?

[daring fern]

if context.setting_blind then
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
                SMODS.add_card({key = "j_gros_michel", edition = "e_negative"})
            return true
        end
    }))
end

[lofty sand]

yo I'm trying to make a joker that adds chips for destroying cards, kinda like a shitty canio. only problem is, I can't find canio anywhere in the card.lua to reference, does anyone know canio's calculation function or where I could find it?

[daring fern]

It's Caino

[daring heron]

so this.

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lofty sand]

the fuck

why localthunk

[bold sleet]

looks a-ok

[bold sleet]

-# meanwhile me and a few others working on a mod with "abberation" cards.

[lofty sand]

idk what that means but it sounds cool :)

[bold sleet]

1. The nuf part is it is mispelled "aberratioin"
2. https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1333809003829923900

[daring heron]

okay now the hard part, how do i detect how many gros michels have been destroyed specifically this ante and create that amount of negative cavendishes

[bold sleet]

-# also, get the github repo version, not the latest release. It is outdated by like 3 months

[daring fern]

You would have to count manually.

[bold sleet]

Make a variable for that uh... I think there is a context for destroying cards... you can get the destroyed card's key and if it is gross michel then add 1 to the counter...

[daring fern]

No, that's for playing cards.

[bold sleet]

ah

Then no idea.

SMODS.take_ownership()

[daring heron]

wait so is it even possible or not?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[manic rune]

patching would be the cleanest solution here

[daring heron]

no idea how to do that

[bold sleet]

Is there a how to patch lovely 101 anywhere?

[lofty sand]

y'all know how I could define any destroyed card? I'm only seeing reference for specific types of cards like face or glass

[bold sleet]

It would be very convenient to know when and how to patch stuff.

[manic rune]

its in the lovely github i think

[daring fern]

Yes, but apparently it is quite old.

[daring heron]

also this just doesnt display the message

[manic rune]

use SMODS.calculate_effect

[bold sleet]

the message should be outside the event

[rapid stag]

you can't do joker return table from inside an event

[daring fern]

You can't just do message = "string" out of nowhere in no function.

[daring heron]

like this?

[daring fern]

No.

[bold sleet]

calculate = function(self,card,context)
  if context.setting_blind then
    G.E_MANAGER.(...)
    return {message = ""} -- There are more clever and better ways to do it.
  end
end

[rapid stag]

ngl this has "you can't just shoot a hole into the surface of mars" energy

[wintry solar]

Don’t use calc effect inside an event

[red flower]

I've never had a problem using it for messages inside events

[agile prairie]

thank yall for your help, made first joker (mult was changed to capital m after this)

[bold sleet]

add info queue

[daring heron]

well this doesnt work either

[bold sleet]

Also, {C:attention} for Wild instead of {C:dark_edition}

[wintry solar]

It’ll dump it at the end of the queue, so would be mistimed

[bold sleet]

move the return {message = "Created!"} just above the end that closes the if context.setting_blind.

[agile prairie]

i believe C:enhanced was used but attention may be better

[agile prairie]

what is info queue

[bold sleet]

Hover over half of the tarot cards.

The extra info boxes that appear besides the main one, like for editions.

Stickers, etc.

[rapid stag]

funnily enough, i just have.

was working on what you said, which not only worked out, but i ended up accidentally workshopping a visual sequencing that imo looks really good

[agile prairie]

ah true, will implement that later, thank you

[bold sleet]

loc_vars = function(self,card,info_queue)
  info_queue[#info_queue+1] = -- whatever
end
-- not 100% certain it is like this

[daring heron]

i think i broke it 😭

[red flower]

yeah it depends on the timing you want, vanilla does it a lot

[bold sleet]

event function shall return true
